I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

In addition to the XC4 sports car, Progress' cargo hold also contains some space exploration equipment. She will stay in space for 24 hours before returning remotely and is expected to land at Ulan Hashan Airport.

During this period, the ground center will conduct complete tests on the cabin sealing and air circulation system of Progress.

There are two configurations of the H1 space shuttle. Progress is the cargo version, with a smaller crew cabin that can accommodate up to 4 people. The rear part is widened to create a larger cargo compartment; Unity 2 is the manned version. With a maximum capacity of 6 people, the crew compartment is much more spacious, at the expense of a small cargo space that can only hold 2,100kg of cargo.

The former is not allowed for extravehicular activities, while the latter has a narrow transition section that allows the two crew members to change into extravehicular spacesuits, drain the air, and then exit through the top hatch.

There is a 0.9X0.9 meter circular node above the head of the crew cabin in front of both configurations, which can be used for future docking missions.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on June 16, Lin Ju got the results of Xinan Automobile Conference:

Within 16 hours of the start of pre-sales, the number of users who booked cars via phone and online exceeded 20,000, and this number is still soaring. It is expected to be around 25,000 in 24 hours.

You know, the price of XC4 is as high as 490,000 after receiving strong subsidies from the state. It actually reached this figure through marketing in 2015 without water injection, which is enough to prove the success of the space conference.

Xinan XC4 is expected to take five months to build its first prototype, and the intelligent driving system only exists on the list of the System Research Institute!

Xinyuan's disadvantage of small manpower is even more obvious, and a new recruitment expansion is brewing.

The construction of the B-level base will be completed in 20 days. Now most of the buildings have been built. Xinyuan has been sending people to take over it. It is expected that it will take September to October to fill up this giant base and give full play to its potential. Full potential.

The automatic silicon carbide chip production line will not be debugged until July, and the production cycle for a batch of chips will take 30 days, which means that the original ternary chips will not be available until August.

In order to make this huge base operational, the preliminary funds prepared are as high as 1 billion, and there are still some remaining renovation parts, the price of which has not yet been calculated.

But for Lin Ju, funding is no longer a problem, and Xinyuan Aerospace already has strong enough profitability.

At 13:00 on the 16th, Progress tilted its fuselage, and the hydrogen-oxygen engine at the tail started working, slowly reducing its speed.

After experiencing continuous deceleration, the altitude of Progress rapidly decreased and headed towards the atmosphere.

Of course, the way to re-enter the atmosphere is not to plunge straight into the atmosphere, but to contact the atmosphere with the bottom wrapped in a thick insulation layer, and to glide multiple times at an elevation angle of 40 degrees until it passes through. until passing through the atmosphere.

This process takes a long time and spans a wide area. It must rely on the measurement and control stations built by the country on the ground and satellites in the sky to provide navigation. Otherwise, as long as there is a slight mistake, the distance will be offset by thousands of kilometers.

For example, the returnable satellite launched by Aramco in the last century was expected to land in Hawaii, but it ended up in Siberia. The entire distance of more than 8,000 kilometers is only a short stretch in space.

During the high-speed descent, the bottom of the Progress was constantly rubbing against the thick atmosphere. The 1,600-degree high temperature made the surface of the insulation layer begin to turn white, and long white-brown traces were washed out by fine particles.

The long and thrilling gliding process lasted about half an hour. It was not until 13:50 that the ground detected the Progress entering China.

After the altitude dropped to 30,000 meters, fighter jets from the Huaguo Military Region passing by along the way continued to fly with them to monitor the flight attitude of the Progress. If there was a tendency to fall into a densely populated area, it would be shot down in a suitable area.

Fortunately, the Progress, which had withstood high temperatures and severe tremors, still performed well. It flew through one Air Force identification zone after another at supersonic speed, and finally reached the sky above the Northern Military Region.

At this time, her altitude was less than 5,000 meters. A J-8F reconnaissance aircraft taking off from a nearby airport accompanied her and guided her to land bit by bit.

At this time, the Ulan Hashan base was completely relieved. After all, they had made countless intra-atmospheric flights and landings. As usual, the Progress entered the airport at a high elevation angle, taxied for a distance and then slowly stopped at the end of the airport.

A group of ground crews hurried forward, hooked up the trailer and pushed it into the special hangar for maintenance.

Footage of Progress's high-speed approach was also leaked. CCAV consistently reported that night, announcing to the world that China's space shuttle had successfully returned and landed.

After completing the preliminary inspection, Progress will be mounted on Figure 154 and fly to Xinyuan to return to the factory for preparation. The next thing waiting for her is manned space flight.

Xinyuan's manned flight plan continues to advance in an orderly manner, causing considerable pressure on all parties around the world.

NACA announced that the "Dream Chaser" small space shuttle developed by Sierra Nevada Corporation will complete its first flight before December 2015, and stated that the future small space shuttle will not be a continuation of STS (the space shuttle program at the end of 1970), but It is a brand-new reusable spacecraft with great prospects.

In its original history, the Dream Chaser was left out in the cold after a test flight in 2016 because of Lao Ma's reusable rocket. Almost all of its design tasks were replaced by Lao Ma's second-generation Dragon spacecraft, making it a long-term unfinished project. project.

But now NACA clearly hopes to support the "Dream Chaser". With a take-off mass of 20 tons and a maximum crew of 7 people, it seems that it can fully compete with the H1.

Lao Ma is not alert enough to this, and is still immersed in the joy of the successful recovery of Falcon 9, and is actively planning for subsequent launch missions and the Falcon Heavy program.

Domestically, the space agency expressed congratulations, but did not say whether it had any relevant plans. Instead, a top-secret research institute was increasingly interested in H1 and kept reporting to its superiors.

In addition, there are more people who want to get H1 with Abel in front.

The first thing they came to was...JAXA, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, hoping to purchase an H1 at a high price of US$2 billion and launch it at their Tanegashima Space Center under the same conditions as Arbor.

Lin Ju refused directly.

Of course he couldn't sell it, but it could be because Aber's situation is complicated and its technical strength is weak; and there are two Aramco aircraft carrier formations lying next to the island country, so why would he go crazy and sell the space shuttle to them?

Then Bangzi also came to the door and fooled him with the same rhetoric. Don't ask, getting too close to Ami is the original sin.

However, apart from these two countries, there are no other countries in Asia that can afford so much money. Although Europe has money, it is arrogant. The remaining small countries can only ask whether they have any future flight plans and whether they can fly. For some money, send one or two astronauts from your country to heaven.

Of course, what's more important is that rich people have finally begun to inquire about the price of Xinyuan, and it's actually domestic.
