This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 136 Foreign Reporters
In the desert space city, there is no cloud in the sky.

The transparent and sunny weather in June, without sand, dust and clouds, is very suitable for space launches.

The door of the assembly building only opened to the lowest floor, and a "log transport truck" painted in white aerospace paint slowly drove out carrying a "Long March 11 launch vehicle" painted in the same style.
After all, this rocket is not standing up, but lying down, and it is still a "small rocket", it is enough to open the door at the bottom.

"Hey, come out!"

As soon as there was movement at the gate, the reporters behind the cordon immediately became excited.

The speed of the transport vehicle is much faster than the speed of the vertical transfer platform. After all, the rocket is not standing or lying down, nor is it hundreds of tons, but only 30 tons, so it quickly arrived at a place in the desert space city dedicated to launching solid fuel. Rocket site.

That is to say, it is a flat concrete floor, without service towers, umbilical towers, diversion tanks, and launch pads. There are only two towering lightning protection towers and a small house to provide support.

When the transport vehicle pushed the hydraulic rod to erect the rocket, the relevant technicians and engineers were all on the sidelines, observing the status and conducting the last inspection work.

Compared with rockets that require a launch tower, the last inspection of this rocket is much simpler. After all, the "last inspection" before leaving the assembly building is already very detailed.

Through automated systems and various testing instruments, Li Weiwei and his engineers meticulously checked every part of the test rocket.

Not far from the command and control center.

The people here are also working according to the plan. Although the rocket is a simple solid-fuel "small rocket", there is a lot of behind-the-scenes work and technical support.

It requires an internal security control center, communication timing center, data exchange processing center, weather and astronomical real-time monitoring, and measurement stations connected to other regions.

Time passed by minute by minute.

On the other side, the cameras of the reporters kept shooting, and some of them kept pressing the shutter with their cameras.

The greening in the Desert Aerospace City is very good, but this is the desolate Gobi desert. Compared with the inner ring of the Aerospace City, the location provided for the vehicle-mounted solid rocket launch is obviously closer to the outer ring of the Aerospace City, so it is much more desolate.

But farther away, patches of grass and shrubs can be seen, showing their tenacious vitality, just like this country.

She grew up in a desert.

Needless to say, the reporters in Fanxing's country, those foreign reporters have been chatting with each other.

"What do you think the Stars Space Agency invited us to come over this time?"

"What else can it mean? It must be a show of strength."

"Yes, I have learned about the starry space rocket sequence before. Looking at the launch vehicle and its shape, this should be their Long March 11 rocket, which uses solid fuel..."

"Wait, if it's really the Long March 11 rocket, what strength can it show? You must know that its low-earth orbit capacity is only 700 kilograms."

"Uh, actually, if you look carefully, it's not the Long March 11 rocket, it's not long enough."

"That's right, its length has been shortened by at least 5 meters, 20 meters has become more than ten meters, but the diameter has not changed. It looks much thicker and shorter, so it should be a new type of rocket."

"But it still says 'Long March 11' on its launch tube, what do you say?"

"Then it is estimated to be a modification of Long March 11?"

"It's so short, how much load is there, two to three hundred kilograms? This conflicts with other types of rockets, such as the Kuaizhou rocket."

"Hey, do you still remember the Super Dongfeng 15 missile? Now this new rocket may be the special solid fuel used."

"hiss--"

Some time ago, Fanxing's technological breakthroughs made the world lively, and the test launch of the Super Dongfeng 15 missile made the world fall into silence, which may have a certain role as a fuse.

However, this improvement in economy, technology, and force must have boosted the self-confidence of the star-studded country and the people.

It was just a live broadcast before. This time, reporters were directly invited to the scene, and there were also a large number of foreign reporters. It is estimated that I really want the world to understand what "the power of technology" is.

Among the many foreign journalists, there was one reporter who only set up a video camera and pretended to shoot with the camera in his hand. He was actually listening to other people’s speeches carefully, and the quality of the microphone on his chest was “very bad.” Instead, it collects the surrounding sounds.

There is no doubt that he is one of the Federation's intelligence collectors...

Since the order of the superior was issued, part of the intelligence resources have been deployed in this direction, and the Federation's aerospace complex has also come to an end.

The "Return to the Moon Program" is their signature. It was absolutely impossible for Fanxing to surpass them before, but when they discovered that there was also a change in the space field of Fanxing, they became anxious.

If the stars can really land on the moon before them, even if it is the second human country to land on the moon, it will not win the Federation's title of "the first country to land on the moon with manned people", but it is still the same for them now. is fatal.

What's the use of them if you can't get "first" when you return?

But whether it is useful or not, we have to see the results of this launch first. Apart from him as a "reporter", there are even people who buy information from the staff in the Desert Space City through other channels.

It's just that the level is not high, and the information they come into contact with is not core enough, so in many cases, the information needs to be processed and polished before reporting.

While the intelligence personnel were thinking about how to make a quotation with the aerospace complex, the preparations for the rocket launch were almost done.

Soon, a broadcast came from the launch site.

"5 minutes to prepare, the staff left."

Hearing this news, everyone's spirits were shocked.

The intelligence personnel quickly turned their attention to the launch site, and he also took a few photos with the camera.

In the photo, we can see that the staff are evacuating in an orderly manner. The older engineer is walking in front, followed by the young assistant. But I don’t know if it is his illusion. He feels that a young assistant is standing a bit forward.

And the young assistant was talking and laughing with those old engineers, not following behind like ordinary assistants.

Of course, the intelligence personnel turned around and left this matter behind. After all, his task this time was to confirm the performance of the new rocket as much as possible.

If there is a new "find someone" task, maybe he will pay more attention.

As everyone left the scene and evacuated to a safe distance, the countdown began.

"Countdown, 10, 9, 8..."

"...3, 2, 1, launch!"

As the launch order was issued, the "Long March 11 rocket" did not ignite directly, but with a "bang", accompanied by a cloud of black-gray smoke rising and the rocket engine protective cover being thrown away, the rocket was ejected from the launch tube .

The guns and short cannons in the viewing area immediately flashed intensive shutter sounds, and they captured every moment of the launch vehicle's ascent, as if they wanted to find out the secrets inside.

A moment later, a loud noise like thunder rang in everyone's ears.

"boom--"

The engine of the ejected "Long March 11 Rocket" ignited, and flew into the sky with the white trajectory clouds unique to solid-fuel rockets.

Soon the flight path of the launch vehicle began to tilt, not a problem, but a "program turn".

This is for the convenience of orbiting, and to coordinate with the rotation of the planet.
