Urban: I can inherit wealth
Chapter 869
Historical experience shows that on the eve of any era of change, there will be some signs and delicate balances.
No one can say when the technological revolution will really arrive. It may be tomorrow, or it may take longer.
Perhaps a sudden dispute or incident touches this delicate balance, causing chain fission, breaking the balance, and starting the wheel of technological change. By then, the world structure will surely be reshuffled.
Shuffling means war and confrontation.
Whether humans want it or not, the general cycle of history will not change.
What Lin Feng has to do now is to survive in the chaotic times that may come when the era of comprehensive technological change arrives.
Vandenberg Air Force Base is located on the coast of southern California, USA.
Directly north of Cape Aguero, it covers an area of approximately 280 square kilometers and has a coastline of nearly 51.5 kilometers.
In the United States, the famous Cape Canaveral launch site is as famous as Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Cape Canaveral Launch Complex is located in Canaveral, Florida on the east coast of the United States.horn.
Vandenberg Air Force Base is located on the west coast of California. The former is the east range of the US Air Force.
There is also the famous Kennedy Space Center, and Vandenberg is the western shooting range of the American Air Force.
It is also the second largest space launch center in the United States.
The geographical location here is special and can launch high-inclination orbit and polar orbit satellites to the west.
In 1977, it was selected as the space shuttle launch base on the west coast of the United States.
Unlike the Kennedy Launch Center, Vandenberg Air Force Base does not support civilian launches and is an Air Force experimental launch site.
At this time, Vandenberg Air Force Base had just completed the newly built Space Launch Operation Platform No. 11.
This behemoth is being erected - the latest super-heavy launch vehicle 'Hercules 1'.
Vandenberg Base once launched Thor intermediate-range ballistic missiles, a historical symbol of the United States.
It has also launched many Hercules launch vehicles and witnessed the most glorious moments of the United States.
Today, the Hercules series of rockets are back in the global spotlight, demonstrating America’s still glorious ambitions.
Shanahan looked up at the giant launch vehicle in front of him with satisfaction in his eyes.
The Pentagon’s investment over the years has finally paid off.
Now that the global space exploration craze is heating up, it is very necessary for them to show their strength globally.
Hercules 1 is a two-stage arrow with a total length of 60 meters and a diameter of 76 meters.
The thrust of the rocket engine reaches 1,330 tons, and the take-off weight of the rocket reaches 1,170 tons.
This is only a two-stage rocket that has reached such a terrifying take-off weight.
But that’s not all the new Hercules launch vehicle is capable of.
Hercules 2, designed by Kane, is the most powerful, three-stage launch vehicle.
The total length can reach 130 meters, and the diameter of the first-stage rocket is 15 meters.
It is even larger than the Saturn 5 that sent astronauts to the moon.
Moreover, rockets at all stages can be recycled and reused, which is the most powerful capability of the new Hercules rocket.
Today's mission does not require the use of the Hercules 2 launch vehicle for the time being.
On the Hercules 1 rocket, there is also a fixed target: the Falcon space-based spacecraft.
The diameter of the spacecraft is about 4 meters, similar to the shape of an airplane.
It also carries powerful space-based laser weapons inside, which can attack satellites in space.
It also carries a hypersonic warhead and a command platform for weapons systems.
If necessary, they can use small launch vehicles.
Sending nuclear warheads and tungsten rods into the Falcon, the deterrent effect is self-evident.
This is the most important part of the Pentagon's Falcon program and the key to entering the second phase of the Falcon program.
China's achievements in space exploration, as well as the Longteng Group's aerospace plane's successful docking with the Lingxiao space station, made them a little anxious.
Therefore, the Falcon program is accelerated and released to the global view in advance to flex its muscles. ,
The plan is a bit crazy, but in order to maintain the advantage, I have to take risks
"finished."
Kane came to Shanahan with an indifferent expression. It seemed that his work was about to amaze the world, and he wouldn't care too much.
As for the problem of the rocket launch failure, he had never thought that he had a very important regard for all his years of hard work. sufficient confidence
"Are you ready to launch? asked Shanahan.
"Yes. Kane nodded coldly.
Shanahan was already used to Kane's indifference.
Without his urging, the group headed towards the launch control center.
Some of the people in the launch control center were transferred from the Kennedy Launch Center. personnel.
Some of them are experts in military missile launches.
In order to increase the success rate of this launch as much as possible, they have made the most adequate preparations.
At this time, the atmosphere in the launch center is a bit tense.
Even if they are experienced, they will not They may be as calm as a pine.
Because they know the significance of this launch. If Hercules 1 successfully launches, their country will gain global deterrence. If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
Because of fear of failure, this launch did not dare to be broadcast live by the media.
Now that they are ready, through the large screen in the control center, they can clearly see the Hercules 1 leaning alone on the launch tower.
Time passes by seconds while waiting, and the launch time will soon be reached.
Shanahan Sitting quietly in his position, he quietly watched the commander announce that he was ready to launch.
As the countdown began, his palms clenched tightly unconsciously. At this moment, he was also a little nervous, and his eyes were fixed on the big screen.
"……3…2…1……"
"ignition!!"
Hearing the final ignition from the command staff, Shanahan's heart lifted.
Others also showed nervous expressions, and only Kane was sitting in his seat. He held the coffee with an expressionless face and glanced at it without any fluctuation in his eyes. Big screen.
Puff puff...
As the rocket ignited successfully, the cooling water below evaporated instantly.
The water vapor formed a huge cloud and enveloped the entire launch tower.
I saw Hercules 1 carrying the Falcon, in the mist-filled sky. The side of the launch tower rose slowly.
Everyone's eyes followed the rise of Hercules 1, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
The dozens of seconds after the ignition started are the most important. Many rocket accidents occurred just when they appeared. At this stage,
Hercules 1, in the eyes of everyone, continued to rise, until it reached the sky. It was not until the ground camera could no longer see the shadow of Hercules 1 that Shanahan relaxed a little.
He showed a smile, at least There was no problem during the take-off phase, and the first dangerous period was safely passed.
Then it was time to wait for the results.
The next day, the Pentagon announced that Hercules 1 had successfully sent the Falcon into the intended Earth orbit in space.
The news once again shocked the public. worldwide
《The Falcon space-based weapons platform successfully entered its intended orbit!》
《A superpower is always a superpower!》
《US launches Falcon program》
