Chapter 992 - The Sky Is Falling (Extraordinary TXT Download)

Prepare to give up "Buzhou Mountain"! This is really a very difficult decision.

No one expected that China's long-established and vigorously launched spaceport project would be in danger of having to be abandoned just after completing two manned launches.

"Damn it, it's all my fault. If only I had killed that Japanese satellite just one second earlier or one second later."

Meng Yinan banged his head in frustration, thinking that everything was his fault.

Naturally, his head was unscathed, and his fists were completely absorbed by the helmet of the spacesuit. Coupled with the thick gloves, his head didn't hurt, and his fists didn't hurt either.

"Shut up! Meng Yinan!"

Wang Xuejun suddenly scolded Meng Yinan, who was blaming himself. This was a complete accident.

"That's not your fault! No one would have thought of such a coincidence. According to your statement, then Wang Xuejun and I are also at fault. If I had told you a second earlier or a second later, this kind of thing would not have happened. Wang Xuejun controls the skyport to change the angle, and if you switch to another laser cannon, this problem will not occur."

Si Qiang also persuaded the other party from another angle.

Perhaps it is God’s will that is testing China’s aerospace technology.

Whether it is breaking out of its cocoon and being reborn or turning into a magnificent firework and disappearing into the atmosphere, no one knows what the fate of the "Buzhou Mountain" Kongtian Port will be. Is it going to end up collapsing like the myths and legends? ?

In this dangerous situation, a leader actually shouted at the headquarters: Organize an emergency launch immediately! Get spare parts!

Many people shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Easier said than done?

Every shot is carefully prepared and calculated. Despite this, a large amount of manpower and material resources have been prepared to deliver supplies to outer space. It was also a huge risk.

Outer space is not a park. You can go in when you want and go out when you want. The launch of a launch vehicle is not a taxi. You can come and go when you want.

"Secretary Ma! This is impossible. The fastest preparation for the launch will take a week."

As the person in charge of the implementation of the "Buzhou Mountain" project, Lieutenant General Zhuang Pengxu naturally understands the difficulty.

"Then what should we do? Watching Buzhou Mountain turn into a pile of space junk? The country has been preparing for this for more than thirty years. Two trillion yuan, a plan for two generations, give up just as you say. ? Who can bear this responsibility?"

Compared with the International Orbital Space Station worth more than 600 billion yuan, the value of the "Buzhoushan" Skyport is immeasurable, and even the country's top leaders may not be able to afford it.

"The repulsion shield system has been damaged. According to the computer, Buzhoushan can only withstand two impacts. It is very likely to disintegrate on the third time. For the safety of the astronauts, we must give up."

Lieutenant General Zhuang naturally understands the risks involved, and is fully aware that once he confirms this order, it will be light from top to bottom.

Just as Secretary Ma worried. No one can shoulder this responsibility. The sky is falling. Who can make up for it?

Lieutenant General Zhuang felt a sense of bitterness in his heart. His luck was bad, it was fate.

"Lieutenant General Zhuang. Maybe someone can"

Major General Sun beside him suddenly whispered.

"Who, who is okay?" Secretary Ma said with sharp ears. I immediately heard what Major General Sun said.

"Has the Penglai space shuttle been completed? Have you prepared the pilots to fly the space shuttle? It's not possible to find people, no, no, no. Even if the Penglai space shuttle is completed, it has not undergone test flights. That's too bad. It’s dangerous.”

Lieutenant General Zhuang knew that a space shuttle was being assembled in the secret underground base of the Fifth Space Training Center where Major General Sun was located. He thought he had guessed what the other party meant and quickly shook his head in denial.

The aerospace industry is very strict, and nothing is trivial, let alone taking risks casually.

"Lieutenant General Zhuang, Secretary Ma, the person I'm talking about can indeed drive the 'Penglai', but that's not exactly what I'm talking about." Major General Sun glanced at the two people who looked like they would shoot you if you don't say anything, and said quickly : "There is an aircraft in China that may be able to enter low-Earth orbit in a short time. We can"

At this point, he shut his mouth tightly, because the subsequent responsibilities were not something he could afford. This was not because he was afraid of taking responsibility, but because he was afraid that this last glimmer of hope would be gone. He was just talking. Skill.

Only those with high authority who make decisions personally are the most effective.

"Is this aircraft available in China? How come I haven't heard of it?" Lieutenant General Zhuang was puzzled. As a senior leader of the aerospace department, he didn't even know that there was an aircraft that could break into low-Earth orbit.

If there is such a thing, wouldn't it be a joke for the "Penglai" that the space agency is still spending a lot of manpower and material resources to assemble?

"Where is that aircraft? Contact him immediately and ask him to report to Jiuquan! No, I need to call Zhong Nan Hai to issue the highest-level order."

Saving people is like putting out fires, and we also need to consider the two trillion space port. Secretary Ma doesn't care where this life-saving aircraft comes from, even if it is put on display in China by the Americans. At this time, things are urgent. Even if you grab it, you must grab it.

"It just left the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Site!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Major General Sun took a step back tactfully.

"What?"

Lieutenant General Zhuang and Secretary Ma shouted at the same time.

The two of them had exactly the same expression, dumbfounded and disbelieving, and their whole bodies were shaking as if they were shaking.

"What on earth is going on? Sun Huating? Don't be kidding me! If you dare to play tricks on me, I'll kill you."

Lieutenant General Zhuang suddenly stretched out his hand extremely angrily and wanted to catch the other party in front of him, but unexpectedly he failed.

"Major General Sun, this matter is not a joke."

Secretary Ma also wanted to grab the training director of the fifth training center and question him.

That aircraft that can fly into outer space has just left the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Site. Why does it smell like a slap in the face?

Together with the rest of them, they are here in a hurry, but they are looking for a donkey on the back of a donkey. Stupidly watching the best solution fly away from under your nose.

"In fact, it does not belong to the space agency. It belongs to the Air Force, and it is also a heavy fighter. The repulsion shield technology used in the 'Buzhoushan' was obtained from it."

Major General Sun also felt that this was very annoying. The aircraft that could fly into space did not belong to the space agency. Are these guys in the Air Force going against the grain?

Seeing the extremely surprised expressions of the two bosses, he quickly continued: "This deformed wing fighter model - is equipped with a turbofan engine. 6. It has a diameter of 3 meters. According to the flight data at that time, it has not fully exerted its full output power. If it is not stopped by the Air Traffic Control Bureau, it may be able to break through to the top of the escape layer. ."

The top of the exosphere is 1 kilometer above the ground. In fact, the "Buzhoushan" Skyport, which is 1 kilometer above the ground, is still within the exosphere of the atmosphere, but the gas here is extremely scarce.

Three engines combined? Prototype of repulsion shield?

The amount of information here is really too much.

Lieutenant General Zhuang and Secretary Ma have no doubt that the Air Force is going against the will of heaven.

This makes the space agency feel embarrassed. Is the Air Force planning to form an aerospace fighter brigade?

"Contact this fighter immediately. If necessary, dispatch fighter jets to stop it."

He looked at Secretary Ma and Lieutenant General Zhuang made a decision immediately.

Even if a dead horse is a living horse doctor, in order to grasp this life-saving straw, as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, one should not give up. It is hoped that this aircraft with performance comparable to the "Penglai" can achieve the performance required for the mission.

However, with the speed of the "Monster" transforming wing fighter, it is doomed to be impossible for Lieutenant General Zhuang to intercept it with a fighter jet. Even the ground's anti-aircraft firepower positions can only be in vain.

"'Dragon Knight', please let me play the Jingmao Island Sword?

Just after entering the hypersonic state, Lin Mo heard the call connection from the Air Traffic Control Bureau.

"Return? Return to where?"

What kind of trouble is this going to cause? Lin Mo slowed down the accelerator. Under the support of the repulsion shield, the fighter's speed did not drop significantly.

"I am Meng Shuai, deputy director of the Air Traffic Control Bureau. 'Dragon Knight', please pray for me. I owe you 5 lines of code."

The voice of the air traffic control bureau was changed to that of a leader having a direct conversation with Lin Mo. Maybe the other party thought that this would make Lin Mo take it seriously.

"Uh! Okay!"

Since it was an emergency, he obeyed first. Lin Mo pulled the joystick backward, and the "Monster" deformed wing fighter simultaneously raised its angle of attack. The angle became larger and larger, and it quickly flipped 180 degrees, and then pivoted on the fuselage axis. Xin gently made a half roll to level out and completed the turn.

Just after completing this change of direction maneuver, an encrypted communication was suddenly connected to the "Monster" transforming wing fighter. The level of authority was so high that the call mode was automatically turned on as soon as it was connected.

"This is the 'Buzhou Mountain' project headquarters. I am Lieutenant General Zhuang Pengxu. Listen, 'Dragon Knight', there is an important task here that needs your help. First of all, I want to know if your fighter can enter the exosphere. ?”

A middle-aged man's voice rang in Lin Mo's ears, and the man directly explained his purpose.

"Hello, Lieutenant General Zhuang, I am the 'Dragon Knight'. There is no problem with the power system, but I need some special equipment. I want to ask, is there something wrong with Meng Yinan?"

Lin Mo's face turned serious in his tactical helmet.

The lieutenant general-level leader of the "Buzhou Mountain" project team suddenly asked for something from him. He immediately thought of his younger brother Meng Yinan, who had just completed the launch and entered the skyport.

Combined with the emergency mentioned by the leader of the Air Traffic Control Bureau before, could it be that there was really an accident?

Lin Mo's guess was correct, and the other party's next words confirmed his worries.

"Some accidents occurred at the aerospace port. We need an aircraft that can break into low-Earth orbit in a short time to transport a batch of important parts. Can you and your fighter jets do it?"

Lieutenant General Zhuang had just learned about the relationship between Lin Mo and Meng Yinan and others from Major General Sun, and had no intention of hiding it from this eliminated astronaut candidate.

"No problem! Leave it to me and I will send you the list of supplies you need right away. But I have to go back to the base to prepare first and will be back in 3 minutes."

Regardless of whether it was about that little brother or not, Lin Mo would never refuse.

As a former astronaut candidate, he certainly knew what an accident at the space port meant.

Although the "Monster" transforming wing fighter has not really flown out of the Earth's gravitational circle, its continuous modification at such a huge cost is to cope with various extreme environments including ultra-high altitude and ultra-high speed. Since the last time it was stopped by the Air Traffic Control Bureau After that, I never had the chance to try again.

"Okay! I'm waiting for your good news! I will satisfy you with whatever you need."

Hearing that this "Dragon Knight" agreed to take over the rescue mission without hesitation, Lieutenant General Zhuang, Secretary Ma and others saw a glimmer of hope.

Thankfully, that means things are taking a turn for the better.

This is really a twist of fate. The person who went up to space to rescue a group of real astronauts turned out to be an eliminated candidate. It is really ironic.

But at this time, they couldn't care less. Compared with human lives and the space port, the space agency's face was not worth a penny.

Equipped with a fully enclosed cockpit cover that can withstand cosmic rays, the "Monster" deforming wing fighter landed steadily at the launch site of the Jiuquan Satellite Center. A moment later, several large transport helicopters slowly flew in from a distance.

Solid fuel propulsion rockets, emergency shrouds and urgently needed spare parts for the "Buzhoushan" Skyport were delivered to the helipad by helicopter one after another.

The brightly lit tarmac quickly became busy, and entering space requires considerable preparation.

Many of the space agency's top engineers and technicians in Jiuquan gave up their rest, obeyed orders from their superiors, rushed here more and more, and devoted themselves to busy work.

The two booster rockets are mounted on pylons under the wings, and then the entire fighter jet will be wrapped in a deflector that has the same shape as the repulsion shield. It will successfully break through the ionosphere with the help of the deflector's protection.

The aerodynamic shape of the "Monster" transforming wing fighter has completely changed. The air deflector makes it become an integrated wing and body, as if it is like a flat arrow, and is almost completely indistinguishable from a real space shuttle.

"'Dragon Knight', this is your space suit."

Lieutenant General Zhuang Pengxu personally sent Lin Mo a spacesuit specially designed for astronauts. Together with an external oxygen supply system, it was enough to support Lin Mo's consumption for 12 hours. If it were replaced by another astronaut, it could support 12 hours.

When he and Secretary Ma saw with their own eyes that the repulsion shield was deployed, suspended at a height of about one meter above the ground, and that technicians were unfolding the deformed-wing fighter jet equipped with a deflector, they felt a little relieved. Maybe this technology The level of integration can really fly into space.

"I don't need a spacesuit. The 'Dragon General' tactical armor can replace the spacesuit for activities in outer space for a period of time."

Lin Mo only took over the safety cable that came with his own radio and radio, but did not choose a clumsy and heavy space suit. If the cost and technical content were compared, the "Dragon General" even surpassed the space suit. Due to its defensive power, the Dragon Knight was even more powerful. Trust the former.

"Get ready for liftoff!"

The ground apron was completely cleared, and the ground crew waved their signal batons at the deformed-wing fighter that had completely changed its appearance——
