Chapter 135 Foreign Correspondents

Desert Space City, cloudless.

This transparent and sunny weather in June, free of sand and clouds, is perfect for space launches.

The door of the assembly building only opens the bottom floor, and the white aerospace painted "log wood transport vehicle" slowly sails out with the same painted "Long March 11 launch vehicle".

After all, this rocket is not standing, but lying, and it is a "little rocket". It is enough to open the bottom door.

"Hey hey hey, it's out!"

As soon as there was movement on the other side of the gate, the reporters behind the cordon were immediately excited.

The speed of the transport vehicle is much faster than that of the vertical transshipment platform. After all, the rocket is not standing or lying down, not hundreds of tons, but only 30 tons, so it soon arrived at a site in the desert aerospace city that specializes in launching solid fuel rockets.

That is, there is nothing in a flat cement floor, service tower, umbilical cord tower, diversion trough and launch pad. There are only two towering lightning towers and a small house providing support next to it.

When the transport vehicle pushed the hydraulic rod to lift the rocket up, relevant technicians and engineers were all right next to him, observing the status while conducting the last inspection.

Compared with rockets that require a launching tower, the last inspection of such rockets is much simpler. After all, the "last inspection" before walking out of the assembly building is already very detailed.

Through automation systems and various detection instruments, Li Lian and engineers meticulously inspected various parts of the test rocket.

Command and control center not far away.

People here are also working as planned. Although the Rockets are simple solid fuel "little rockets", there is not much behind-the-scenes work and technical support.

It requires internal security control centers, communication time control centers, data exchange processing centers, real-time monitoring of weather and astronomy, and measurement stations connected to other regions.

Time passes minute by minute.

On the other hand, the reporters' cameras were shooting all the time, and some people kept pressing the shutter with their cameras.

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

However, you can see grass and shrubs further away, showing their tenacious vitality, just like this country.

She grew up in a desert.

Needless to say, the reporters from Fanxing domestically were chatting with each other.

"What do you think is the meaning of Fanxing Space Administration inviting us here this time?"

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

"Yes, I've learned about Fanxing's space rocket sequence before, looking at the launch vehicle and shape, this should be their Long March 11 rocket, which uses solid fuel..."

"Wait, if it is 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 closely, it is not the Long March 11 rocket, it is not long enough."

"Yes, its length is at least 5 meters shorter, 20 meters has become more than ten meters, but its diameter has not changed, and it looks much shorter, so it should be a new type of rocket."

"But its launch cylinder also says 'Long March 11', how do you say this?"

"That's probably a Long March 11 modification?"

"It's so short, how big is the load capacity, two or three hundred kilograms? This conflicts with other models of rockets, such as the fast boat rocket."

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

"hiss--"

Some time ago, Fanxing's technological breakthrough made the world lively, and the test launch of the Super Dongfeng 15 missile made the whole world silent, and it is likely that there will be a certain fuse.

However, this kind of improvement in economy, technology and force will definitely drive Fanxing's national confidence and the public confidence.

I only had a live broadcast before, and this time I directly invited reporters to the scene, and there were a large number of foreign journalists. I guess I really wanted to let the world understand what the "power of technology" is.

Among the many foreign journalists, one reporter only set up a camera and pretended to shoot. In fact, he was listening carefully to other people's words. The microphone on his chest was "very bad". He did not accept his own voice, but instead collected the sounds around him.

There is no doubt that he is one of the federal intelligence collectors...

Since the superior order was issued, some of the intelligence resources have been allocated to this direction, and the federal aerospace complex has also ended.

The "Return to the Moon Plan" is their signature. Before, the stars could never surpass them, but when they found that there were abnormal movements in the aerospace field on the stars, they became anxious.

If the stars could really land on the moon before them, even if it was the second country of human beings to land on the moon, it would not be able to win the title of the Federation as "the first country to land on the moon by manned manned landing on the moon", but it is still fatal to them now.

When they return, they can't get the "first". So what's the use of them?

But it is useful or not. We have to see how the launch will be. In addition to him, as a "reporter", there are even people who purchase information from staff in the desert space city through other channels.

It’s just that the level is not high and the information you come into contact is not core enough, so many times the information needs to be processed and polished before reporting it.

While intelligence personnel were thinking about how to quote the aerospace complex, the rocket launch side was almost ready.

Soon, a radio came from the launch site.

"Prepare in 5 minutes, staff leave."

When everyone heard this message, they were shocked.

The intelligence officer quickly projected his attention to the launch site, and he also took a few photos with his camera.

In the photo, you can see the staff evacuating in an orderly manner. The older engineer was walking in front and following the young assistant behind. I just don’t know if it was his illusion. He felt that a young assistant was standing a little higher.

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

Of course, the intelligence personnel turned around and threw this matter behind his mind. After all, his mission 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 spend more time.

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

“Countdown, 10, 9, 8…”

“…3,2,1, Launch!”

With the launch order issued, the "Long March 11 Rocket" did not ignite directly, but a "bang", accompanied by a ball of black and gray smoke rising and the rocket engine protection cover was thrown away, and the rocket was ejected from the launch cylinder.

The long spears and short cannons in the viewing area immediately flashed with a dense shutter sound. They captured every moment of the launch vehicle ascending, as if they wanted to find out the secrets.

A moment later, a loud thunder sounded in everyone's ears.

"boom--"

The ejected "Long March 11 Rocket" engine ignited and flew into the sky with a white track unique to the solid fuel rocket.

Soon the launch vehicle's flight trajectory began to tilt, not a problem, but was in a "programmatic turn".
