Niu Zhengfeng heard Li Hao's orders, and he gave orders to the entire system.
"The space shuttle test flight will begin immediately, please all departments quickly enter preparations, and all personnel please leave the area where the space shuttle operates."
With his orders, the entire system began to operate efficiently.
Hearing the noise outside, Li Hao looked up at the hills on both sides.
One side is a smooth aircraft runway, and the other side is the ground command center and the antennas needed for communication.
The outside sound was due to the sound of the people on the runway who were performing maintenance on the runway and began to evacuate quickly, and the equipment moved.
Soon there was another abnormal noise. He heard the noise and looked up. It was on the top of the hill opposite the runway. A closed antenna was slowly opening.
The engineers in the hangar were moving fast, and after filling the shuttle with fuel, they began to lock the intersection of the fuel tank.
Niu Zhengfeng went to Li Hao and reported again: "General Li, all work is ready to be completed. The space shuttle test flight can be started at any time."
"Preparation is fast, the shuttle needs no launch window. If not, you can start now." Li Hao asked Niu Zhengfeng.
Niu Zhengfeng immediately explained: "General Manager Li, our shuttle does not need to choose a launch window.
Our space shuttle uses an ion-electric propulsion engine, which has the ability, plus the space shuttle's ability to fly in the atmosphere.
These comprehensive characteristics determine that the shuttle does not need to wait for a specific launch timing. "
"A spacecraft that can be used at any time is a good spacecraft, so test it now." Li Hao exaggerated, he did not disturb Niu Zhengfeng's arrangement for the space shuttle.
Niu Zhengfeng quickly asked them: "General Manager Li, launching the shuttle for the first time, I don't know what will happen. Please go to the ground command center to observe the situation of the shuttle."
Li Hao held Zhou Yunsheng's hand and everyone here. They followed Niu Zhengfeng to the ground command center he visited yesterday.
As soon as Zhou Yunsheng entered here, she was surprised and said, "What a beautiful crystal flower. Why didn't we use this variety in our Bamboo Building? I decided to plant this crystal flower in my office."
Behind Qiu Shi, people like his secretary, who didn't just look at the crystal flower, or just like ordinary people, were staring above the big screen, where the shuttle's movements were played.
He focused all his attention on the light curtain in front of the ground command center employees, where they processed the data.
The layman looks lively, the layman looks at the doorway. Just a little look at a few data that ordinary people can't recognize. His pupils tightened immediately, and he kept carrying these data in his heart.
Niu Zhengfeng walked to the main console, right-hand pressed on the console, and passed the biological magnetic field authority determination.
"Please note that the space shuttle will test flight immediately, please report the situation of each unit."
Niu Zhengfeng's voice had just fallen, and he only saw the electronic synthesized sound coming from the device.
"The space shuttle is conducting a self-test. The self-test has passed and all equipment is normal. The stored electricity is 99.7% and the fuel is full."
Someone kept reporting.
"The communication cooperation group is normal and has been connected to the Huaxia Aerospace Communication and Observation System.
The major observatory equipment is operating normally, and the Yuanwang system spacecraft has reached the designated position. "
"The communication group is normal, the quantum communication has been started, and the quantum channel has been successfully established. Everything in the laser communication channel is normal, and everything in the electromagnetic communication channel is normal."
"Observation team is normal. No interference was detected by radar."
Reports kept ringing, but the news was good.
After Niu Zhengfeng heard all the reports, he issued an order: "Please passengers on board."
When Zhou Yunsheng heard this, she stared intently at the space shuttle on the light curtain.
At the same time, Ma Yiming, who was standing aside, asked, "Manager Ma, the space shuttle, and passengers. Is your selected astronaut entering?"
Ma Yiming said with a smile: "You can immediately see what the passengers are like, don't be surprised."
As soon as Ma Yiming's voice fell, he saw only the abdomen cabin of the space shuttle suddenly opened, and it slowly dropped under the support of the hydraulic rod.
Employees pushed a few cars into the shuttle.
The trolleys inside are all transparent boxes. What kind of passengers can you see?
There are a dog, two pigs, three little white rats, five big white rabbits, sixteen silkworm babies, a nest of ants and several plant incubators.
Seeing this situation, Li Hao felt that this was unexpected and reasonable.
General manned spaceflight equipment was first tested and carried animals for observation. Such is the case in the former Soviet Union, the United States, and China. Their test flight is no exception.
The employees quickly walked out of the belly of the aircraft, only to see the hydraulic rod at the exit of the shuttle lifted, and then heard a click, the entire exit quickly closed.
The secretary standing next to Qiu Shi, seeing this, wanted to ask Ma Yiming. I also felt inappropriate on this occasion, holding back strong thoughts.
After that, he could n’t bear it anymore. He asked Ma Yiming: "Mr. Ma, do you need to manually lock your shuttle door?"
Ma Yiming replied: "No human involvement is required. We use the method of electromagnet adsorption and mechanical automatic locking. There are robots in the cabin to detect. Safety is guaranteed."
Zhou Yunsheng said excitedly: "The space shuttle has been launched."
They focused their eyes on the light curtain and found that the space shuttle was taxiing in the hangar.
Slowly drove out of the hangar, asked for a large arc in the square, the nose of the aircraft aimed at the runway on the hillside, and stopped on the square.
Niu Zhengfeng looked somber and said loudly: "Attention all units, the space shuttle is ready to ignite."
After he finished speaking, he pressed the red start button next to the console.
Only electronic synthesis sounds were heard continuously in the ground command center.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Ignite."
Only blue flames were seen from engines located on both sides of the space shuttle.
The space shuttle suddenly accelerated and taxied quickly on the runway. Soon came the runway with a on the hillside.
It seemed that Dapeng was flying high and flying high ~ EbookFREE.me ~ quickly passing the runway on the hillside. Started flying steadily in the air.
Pictures from the airborne equipment show the shuttle's nose tilted up 30 degrees. Began flying very fast in the atmosphere. Constantly approaching outer space of the atmosphere.
Everyone at the ground command center held their breath and kept staring at the screen.
After waiting for a while, the space shuttle has broken through the atmosphere and officially flew into space.
A large ion-electric propulsion machine in the middle of the abdomen was started, and a blazing white flame was ejected from the engine, propelling the space shuttle to quickly fly to geosynchronous orbit.
Niu Zhengfeng saw the space shuttle soaring steadily in the universe without any problems.
He announced excitedly: "I announced that the space shuttle project basically achieved its purpose."
After he finished speaking, the staff of the command center immediately stood up. Warm applause.
