After listening, Zhuang Jianye nodded, and did not say anything, but cast his gaze out of the window. At the end of May, the Luliang Mountains had been dyed with a layer of fine green, but Zhuang Jianye's mood was not as comfortable as the spring outside.

There was no agreement on the control of a courier company and the joy of building a factory in partnership with foreign investors.

Let alone what he saw in the W earthquake-stricken area some time ago, the so-called sensory and soul shocks Zhuang Jianye received, but for this "spacecraft" test, to be honest, the pressure on Zhuang Jianye made him even want to laugh. come out.

The name of this "spacecraft" test is called "supersonic suborbital spacecraft return test". At first glance, it seems that this test is similar to the return capsule of a returnable satellite and a manned spacecraft. They are all return-type spacecraft. From a technical point of view, it shouldn't be a difficult task.

However, in terms of actual effects, the difficulty of this thing has almost reached a level of "change~~~ state".

It is precisely because of this that the United States and the former Soviet Union successively proposed relevant technical solutions during the Cold War. However, due to technology, cost, and many difficult problems, this suborbital supersonic spacecraft simply did not come true.

After the Cold War, the dominant US wanted to continue to hold on and proposed the concept of the "Dawn Goddess" suborbital high-speed bomber, but later because of the advanced technology, the value cost greatly exceeded the budget, and it believed that the existing military power was sufficient to rule. This blue star cut this project down.

After that, no one was involved in this technical route. There was no way. It was a bottomless pit, and the success rate was extremely low. Especially after the US technical route was dismantled, no one had the courage to try it.

You know, it's not as simple as sending space into orbit and then returning. An ordinary launch vehicle is a typical high-throw trajectory, and its starting point and landing point are clear at a glance.

The "supersonic suborbital returnable spacecraft" is not the case. It is a new type of spacecraft that can not only fly at a high speed in a suborbit between 80 and 200 kilometers, but also accurately land at any point according to the situation at any time.

This requires that such aerospace first have a very strong power system, and this power system must also be very strong, at least it can accelerate this type of spacecraft to supersonic speeds of 5 to 10 Mach.

The second is suborbital flight, not the kind of space flight that follows a predetermined orbit, but the kind of free flight that can change directions at will in the sub-orbit like an aircraft.

The last and most important thing is to be able to return and land accurately according to the instructions.

If you can achieve the above three points, congratulations, you can definitely walk sideways in the world, because even the Americans are so overwhelmed by these three points that they have to give up finally.

Even the Americans are lying flat, let alone other countries in the world.

In fact, China wants to lie flat, but there is no way. It is too technically difficult to see. The problem is that the reality does not allow China to take off.

For some well-known reasons, if you don't have the belongings on the bottom of the box, you are really embarrassed to straighten your waist and yell in the global village.

Therefore, China is not going to take off. Who makes them the main contractor for domestic anti-ship ballistic missiles and hypersonic weapon systems, with rich experience in the development of suborbital vehicles?

So as early as the end of the 1990s, the superiors assigned this task to China Tengfei. Even if the "Goddess of Dawn" plan was dismantled by the Americans, China Tengfei continued to insist on it.

Of course, China's take-off cannot be as blatant as the Americans. Instead, it is positioned as a "civilian" space vehicle. After all, the purpose of China's take-off is world peace and human development, and it will never produce militarized equipment.

What? Carrier-based aircraft? Military transport aircraft? And anti-ship ballistic missiles?

Please keep your eyes open and take a good look. Then, are the special air transportation platforms used for the take-off and landing of large ships, the super large air transportation platforms used for the transportation of extra-large materials, and the long-distance precision recovery spacecraft considered weapons and equipment?

They are all special transportation systems, just like trucks on highways, trains on railways, and freighters in the sea, all of which are loaded with cargo.

You can't just say they are weapons and equipment just because they carry explosive missiles and bombs?

So, tank trucks are still dangerous goods that can explode, so why not classify such things as weapons and equipment?

Therefore, China Ascendas is not a manufacturer of weapons and equipment, but a porter of special cargo!

It is precisely because of this that China Tengfei never admits that it is an arms manufacturer, because it has never produced arms, so why is it an arms manufacturer? He just created a platform suitable for users according to the specific habits of users. As for whether users use these platforms to deliver express delivery or bomb bunker, it doesn't matter what China takes off.

Based on this lofty concept that China Ascendas has adhered to since its establishment, this type of "supersonic suborbital returnable spacecraft" naturally does not have the slightest militarization. It is a kind of effort for the peaceful use of outer space by mankind in the future. A cheap and efficient spacecraft built.

Therefore, China Ascendas’ vision is to use this “supersonic suborbital returnable spacecraft” to implement global one-hour express delivery. After all, the faster the express delivery of some important customers, the better, the market demand is still very big.

Based on this, from Zhuang Jianye to the ordinary technical personnel involved in this project, they feel that they have an extremely lofty mission, carrying "world peace" on one shoulder and "human development" on the other ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ All my eyes are "conquering the stars and the sea", don't mention the feeling, it will take a few minutes...

However, Zhuang Jianye and others above were quickly poured cold water on their heads. In the second half of last year, the "supersonic suborbital reversible spacecraft" conducted the first flight test. As a result, the carrier rocket was releasing the "super high speed". After the “sonic suborbital returnable spacecraft”, when the aircraft fell according to the normal trajectory, the internal engine did not start normally, making the “supersonic suborbital returnable spacecraft” finally become an ordinary “returning spacecraft”. "Spacecraft" landed headlong into the Gobi Desert in the northwest.

In summary, there are many reasons for the failure, such as insufficient understanding of the suborbital conditions of 80 to 200 kilometers, resulting in unreasonable procedures for internal engine ignition settings; another example is the instability of the measurement and control signal and the inability to stably control the "super-high-speed sub-orbital" Returnable spacecraft"; also, for example, the interference of different radio signals from multiple directions during the entire test...

But no matter what the reason, the most important thing is that China's own technology is not the key point. Therefore, after learning from it, after six months of troubleshooting a series of problems, China Ascendas conducted another “supersonic suborbital returnable spacecraft”. "Flight test, success or failure, to be honest, Zhuang Jianye didn't dare to pack tickets!"
