This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 137 The Sword of Damocles!
"Desert space city, optical radar tracking is normal!"

"The telemetry signal is normal, and the flight is normal!"

With the normal take-off of the rocket, the live broadcast room was full of cheers.

Like the last "Super Dongfeng 15 Missile" test launch, this rocket test launch was also broadcast live.

When all the checks are normal, although this is the first test flight, it is theoretically stable.

In addition, this time the test flight is not a "pressure scale" of cement blocks, but two "Constellation" satellites of the Aerospace Science and Technology Company under the Utility Technology Group. The live broadcast also contributed a lot.

According to the official information released by the space agency, the rocket for this test flight did not have an exact name, but was referred to as "a certain type of test rocket".

"Look at the white trajectory cloud, this is a new type of solid rocket, right?"

"It should be. This time the live broadcast angle is far away. I can't see what is written on the car."

"Although the words on it can't be read clearly, this launch vehicle looks familiar."

"It does look familiar. This is the launch vehicle of the Long March 11 rocket."

"Hiss, is this a new model rocket of the Long March 11?"

"If the car has not changed, then looking at the proportions, the Long March 11 of this model is much shorter, only about 13 meters."

"13 meters, according to the original division, is there only two rocket stages, and the third stage rocket has been removed?"

"No, you didn't count the fairing. If you count the fairing together, it's probably only a first-stage rocket."

"Only one-stage rocket? What the hell, is it a single-stage rocket?"

"Hahaha, how is it possible, there is no single-stage orbit now."

"That's right, there was a company on the Federation side that said it would build a single-stage rocket into orbit, but it didn't make any noise after that."

"Yes, there are no single-stage orbit rockets now, they are all multi-stage orbit rockets."

"It is estimated that the new model of the Long March 11 is to shorten the first-stage rocket, and now this kind of rocket should be a second-stage rocket."

"But what's the point of doing that?"

"That's right, such a short arrow body is more rigid than the rocket..."

When Fanxing netizens were puzzled, the space complex of the Freedom Federation was also paying attention to this test launch.

The aerospace complex did not exist before, and the most famous one on the Federation side is the military-industrial complex.

The so-called military-industrial complex refers to a huge interest group composed of military departments, military-industrial enterprises, some members of Congress, and national defense research institutions.

Because the military-industrial complex involves not only the military, but also defense companies, and even Congress, its impact is extremely far-reaching.

The aerospace complex is similar to it. It is a huge interest organization composed of the aerospace department, aerospace companies, and some members of Congress.

In addition, many members of the military-industrial complex are super-large groups with aerospace technology companies under their umbrella, so the aerospace complex also includes the interests of many military-industrial complexes.

The relationship is very complicated, but it is becoming more and more powerful enough. Now that it is impossible to start a large-scale hot war, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to fight in the name of spaceflight.

Federal Space Agency.

The staff here is busy, and they are watching the launch through the federal global surveillance system.

In the back, some executives quietly watched the monitoring data and... the live broadcast.

As the rocket flew higher and higher, the technical director Su Geerd's face became more and more complicated.

As a technician, it must be something to be happy to see the progress of human spaceflight, but today the rockets they monitor with great fanfare are not from the Federation, but from the stars on the other side.

Many technicians feel similar to him.

Originally, they had their own mission, but they suddenly received an order from their superiors to come here for monitoring, and there were also people from the military and aerospace complex on site.

According to intelligence, Fanxing will launch a new type of rocket with very superior performance, which is suspected to use the solid fuel of the previous Super Dongfeng 15 missile.

Calling them over is for technical analysis.

"The first stage of the rocket is about to separate, right?"

"It should be almost there. Although some data is still unclear, it should be almost here."

"Well, if it flies with another stage rocket, it will lose a lot of capacity."

"Perhaps their magic material can counteract..."

"Wait, guys, something's wrong, why doesn't this rocket look like it's about to separate the first stage?"

"what?"

"This is impossible!"

The monitoring personnel started yelling, and they hurriedly analyzed the data, trying to find the anomalies inside.

"Could it be...the rocket has a problem?"

"The flight speed of the rocket is still increasing, and the curve is normal, there is no plunge and surge!"

"what's going on?"

"It's so stable, it's like the separation of the first stage has been done."

"Are they going to...single-stage orbit?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"But these data..."

"Yes, and their new fuel, if it's metallic hydrogen..."

"Just wait and see."

Sugeld ignored the fuss of the monitors. He folded his arms and watched coldly. After all, Fanxing had tested ultra-long-range ballistic missiles before. The track is really not difficult.

Sure enough, his conjecture was correct. The rocket really flew into low-Earth orbit with only one stage of the rocket, and the monitoring personnel looked like they had seen a ghost.

As for the big shots next to Sugard, including the Minister of Defense, the Director of the Space Agency, and the representative of the aerospace complex, Emalon, their expressions are relatively calm.

Especially Emmaron, he said softly: "This may be a good thing."

The director of the space agency nodded. He knew what Emeron meant, because he was the one who experienced the last manned moon landing event.

Without external pressure, those congress masters and capital tycoons would not feel the existence of danger, and naturally they would not invest hard in the aerospace industry, so naturally they, those in the aerospace field, would not be able to obtain greater rights and interests.

Now that Fanxing's aerospace department has made a big news, it will naturally force the Federation to increase investment in this area.

Just like Fanxing tested the Super Dongfeng 15 missile before.

But missiles are not the same as rockets, which is a good thing and a bad thing.

Solid fuel is the father of missiles, but the status of solid fuel in the aerospace field is not so high.

The current solid-fuel rockets can only launch some tiny satellites. They can be regarded as a surprise soldier in the rocket field, but they are not the overlord, so the threat level is not too high.

If the level of threat is not high enough, the pressure from the masters of Congress will naturally not be too great, and it is estimated that there will not be much increased funding.

"It seems that we have to deviate from the main point when we make the report, otherwise the gang of gentlemen will definitely not pay attention to it." Emma Long said.

"Well," Binal nodded: "The biggest feature of this rocket is the single-stage orbit, we have to increase its threat."

At this time, Secretary of Defense Austin has to play. The reason why he is here is because there are benefits he can get here.

"Just start with missiles. Missiles fly in a parabola and cannot stay in orbit. However, this new type of 'missile' can fly directly to orbit. It will become a Damocles that stays on our heads. The Sword of Si!"
