Rebirth of a technological power

"Benben, please initiate a video call request to Director Zhang."

The prototype was built, and Cai Jin needed to communicate with Director Zhang.

After all, if you want to test such a large aircraft, you can't hide it if you want to.

The target is really too big.

It is estimated that they cannot avoid the reconnaissance satellites in space.

Soon, the video application was approved.

"Boss Cai, what's wrong?" Bureau Zhang asked curiously.

This was Cai Jin's first contact with him after leaving the capital.

"Ju Zhang, the manned space shuttle has been built, and it needs to be tested next. The airport and related preparations need to be coordinated by your side." Cai Jin did not say anything false, but went straight to the point.

"What!" Director Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief: "You said the manned space shuttle was built?"

That's a manned space shuttle, nothing else!

It had only been two months since the two parties signed the contract.

In two months, Cai Jin built a manned space shuttle!

What a joke!

If CNSA were to build a manned space shuttle, it would take several years.

Director Zhang’s initial plan was to take out a manned space shuttle within two years and then launch a manned moon landing project.

In this case, his political achievements are guaranteed.

"Look, this is the manned space shuttle. This big guy is so big!" Cai Jin pointed the camera at the manned space shuttle.

Seeing this manned space shuttle, Director Zhang finally realized that Cai Jin was really not joking.

"Well, Boss Cai, I'll make some arrangements, just wait a moment!" Director Zhang said.

Then, coordination work began.

At the same time, Bureau Zhang and his people immediately set off for the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center in Qiong Province.

Cai Jin had no choice but to set off for Qiong Province.

More than three hours later, Cai Jin arrived at the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center.

Wenchang Satellite Launch Center was built in 2009. The total project land area reaches 18,531 acres. It is mainly composed of the launch site area, supporting measurement and control stations and other areas. The launch site area is located around 19 degrees north latitude, including the launch area. , technical area, test collaboration area, technical service support system, etc.

By October 2014, the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center was basically completed. In January 2015, the Long March 7 rocket arrived at the Wenchang Space Launch Site. This was also the debut of the Long March 7 rocket and the Wenchang launch system.

"Boss Cai, thank you for your hard work!" Director Zhang shook hands with Cai Jin, looking apologetic.

"It's okay, Zhang Ju, you came here from the capital, and I'm closer than you!" Cai Jin smiled.

Later, Bureau Zhang took the initiative to introduce others.

After shaking hands one by one, they went to the command center.

Cai Jin opened his laptop and gave the order. Cai Jin had already set the route and coordinates on the plane.

In the small factory, the huge body of the manned space shuttle slowly lifted into the air under the action of the thrusters. Then, after reaching a certain height, it showed an angle of 45°, and the speed continued to take off, and the speed continued to increase.

At the same time, the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center and Command Center were displaying on the big screen.

After coordination, the manned space shuttle was not set to be unrecognizable and was directly shot down by the missile.

The speed is getting faster and faster, and in less than half an hour, the manned space shuttle has arrived in Qiong Province.

Then it began to slow down and its altitude continued to decrease.

Instead of vertical landing, a gliding landing method was used. After all, this was also a test content.

Looking at this huge manned space shuttle, everyone in the command center was dumbfounded.

They don't understand how China suddenly created such a big thing.

Afterwards, they all went to the tarmac and looked at the manned space shuttle.

They even went in to watch it in person.

Cai Jin, as the commentator, explained everything one by one.

"Boss Cai, can we now conduct taxiing takeoff, vertical takeoff, vertical landing and other tests?" Director Zhang couldn't help but ask.

"no problem."

Other technicians go to the command center to make real-time contact with various monitoring stations.

After all the work was completed, Cai Jin started the automatic program.

I saw the huge manned space shuttle slowly leaving the ground. Under a fixed acceleration, it became faster and faster, getting higher and higher from the ground, and then flew into the blue sky at an angle of 40°.

The flight trajectory appeared on the big screen.

Then more than twenty minutes later, it flew back to the launch center. Above the apron where the coordinates had been set, the high end continued to fall. The horizontal speed had dropped to zero, and now only the vertical speed remained.

Just right, when landing on the tarmac, the vertical speed was also 0.

Many people couldn't help but applaud.

That night, I don’t know how many people were so excited that they couldn’t sleep.

The next day, CNSA suddenly announced that it had manufactured a new generation of manned space shuttle, announced the basic parameters, and conducted live testing.

There is no need to observe the weather or set the launch time like before.

On a sunny day and blue sea, a huge manned aircraft appeared in the live broadcast footage.

CCTV will broadcast the entire event live.

Many people couldn't help but be a little surprised. They didn't understand how China could build a space shuttle quietly.

You know, before, China had always adhered to the technical route of manned spacecraft.

As for the space shuttle, only the United States and the Soviet Union could afford it.

Well, now, China just suddenly came up with a space shuttle.

Smooth lines, beautiful shape!

As the command center counted down, they saw the manned space shuttle taking off on the runway.

There is no manned space shuttle launched directly by rocket like other countries.

Instead, it will glide and take off. When the manned space shuttle takes off, many people are analyzing it.

If you want to enter space, your speed first needs to reach a certain limit before it is possible.

Experts from various countries can't figure out how China's aerospace industry can do this to enable manned space shuttles to fly into space.

The thrusters roar, continuously providing acceleration to the manned space shuttle.

The speed of the manned space shuttle is getting faster and faster, breaking through the Kármán line at an altitude of 100 kilometers, which is also the definition of the boundary between the atmosphere and space!

Subsequently, various tests were carried out in space, such as the orbit change test!

Without the complicated orbit changes of previous spacecraft, the manned space shuttle is simple, in one word - reckless!

The orbit is changed by the force of the propeller.

For seven consecutive days, the manned space shuttle conducted various orbital orbit changes. By the seventh day, the manned space shuttle had reached an orbital altitude of 1,000 kilometers.

By this time, the manned space shuttle returned.

Return is also an important part.

A manned space shuttle must not only be able to enter space, but also need to land safely and return to the ground to be successful!
