Galaxy Technology Empire

April 15th.

There was a solemn atmosphere at the Dongdao Huoshao Island Satellite Launch Base.

A Xiongfeng-9A carrier rocket is standing quietly in the middle of the launch silo.

The heroic figure with a length of 16.5 meters, a diameter of 2.78 meters, and an overall weight of more than 60 tons is full of majestic power.

"emission!"

The launch silo cover popped open instantly, and Xiongfeng 9 soared into the sky.

at the same time.

Powerful countries all over the world have set their sights on Xiongfeng 9.

NASA headquarters.

[Didi didi! Level 1 alert! ]

[Lock target, bearing...]

[Speed ​​8743 meters per second...]

Maxwell's face darkened as he looked at the satellite surveillance screen.

This so-called satellite launch vehicle is too fast, reaching a speed of nearly Mach 26, and cannot be stopped at all.

At this speed, it only takes half an hour to run 18,000 kilometers, which is simply terrifying.

Dr. Archimedes looked at the satellite surveillance screen and the data analyzed by the computer, frowned and said, "Mr. Mike, something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Look at these data. From the data point of view, this launch vehicle is the 41 in the DF series. The entire launch vehicle is 63 to 65 tons at most. According to this weight, it cannot reach a distance of 18,000 kilometers." Archimedes The doctor analyzed.

Maxwell looked at the data and found that the situation was indeed as Archimedes said, but this discovery did not make him very happy.

"Let's see and then talk."

Dr. Archimedes did not refute. After all, Galaxy Technology's technology is sometimes so weird. Just because others can't do it, it doesn't mean Galaxy Technology can't do it.

Like NASA, Mao Xiong Space Agency, Western Space Administration, Sun Country, and Tianzhu all discovered the weirdness of Xiongfeng 9.

Around ten ten.

Xiongfeng 9 has flown nearly 6,000 kilometers. When approaching Port Vila, Vanuatu, the first-stage rocket stalled and broke away.

Since the flight altitude of Xiongfeng 9 is about 94 kilometers above sea level, the first-stage rocket detached from the main body will automatically activate the self-destruction device after ten seconds.

The first-stage rocket instantly turned into a ball of fire, and countless fragments fell towards the sea below. At this height and speed, these fragments would be burned by the friction of the atmosphere before falling to the ground or the sea.

At around 10:20, Xiongfeng 9 had flown 12,000 kilometers and arrived at the famous South Pacific Spacecraft Cemetery.

The second-stage rocket flamed out and broke away. Like the first-stage rocket, its fate was to self-destruct.

The remaining third-stage rocket will carry the payload, make a big turn in the South Pacific, turn back to the northwest, and then crash into the sea about 1,000 kilometers southwest of Easter Island.

Ten twenty-nine.

In NASA's satellite surveillance footage, a huge hole appeared in the South Pacific Ocean at about 30 degrees south latitude and 120 degrees west longitude.

"..." Maxwell was silent as he looked at the satellite surveillance screen.

"It's equivalent to 450 to 500 tons, which is amazing, really amazing." Archimedes was amazed.

Maxwell, who woke up, ordered: "Estimate their payload?"

"give it to me."

Dr. Archimedes called up the monitored data and began to calculate. Ten minutes later: "Mr. Mike, two pieces of bad news."

"Say it! We have to face reality, don't we?"

Archimedes paused and organized his words: "The initial estimate is that the payload is about 7 to 8 tons, which means that the charge they used is between 60 and 70 times that of T-charge."

"In addition, the payload is 7 to 8 tons, so..."

"It also means that the opponent's payload coefficient is very high." Maxwell continued in a deep voice.

"My preliminary estimate is that their payload coefficient has reached 10 to 12%. It is very difficult to achieve this."

There was deathly silence in NASA's satellite monitoring room. They were all professionals, so of course they knew the horror of this data.

Although Mao Xiong’s Satan launch vehicle looks very awesome, if you look closely, you will know the difference between the two.

Satan has a total weight of about 200 tons, a payload of 8.8 tons, and a payload coefficient of only a pitiful 4.4%.

As for Xiongfeng 9, the total weight is 64 tons, the payload is 7.6 tons, and the payload coefficient is 11.8%.

The effective load factor of Xiongfeng 9 is 2.68 times that of Satan. This means that if Xiongfeng 9 is as heavy as Satan, the effective load that can be delivered within a distance of 18,000 kilometers may reach 45 to 50 tons.

In addition, Xiongfeng's speed is very fast, so fast that it is difficult to intercept and react.

The distance between the Mi Li family's home coast and the east coast is about 10,000 kilometers and 14,000 kilometers respectively. Xiongfeng 9 can deliver express to your doorstep at any time.

Not to mention other places in Asia, Western Europe, and Oceania.

Although we knew that due to the existence of mushroom eggs, a world-class conflict was unlikely to occur, Dongtang's power still made people feel stressed.

Other countries monitoring this experiment also fell silent. This power reminded them of another old friend, an old friend who was tricked to death by them.

The current situation in the world is becoming more and more like before 1991. Dongtang, which is very powerful in terms of economy and fists, and the Mili family, which is declining day by day, have to make people worry about the future.

With countries around the world worried.

A team of ghost airships successfully recovered the data module of Xiongfeng 9.

East Island Fire Island Base.

"From the experimental data, the maximum distance reaches 18,713 kilometers." Li Jie's analysis report said.

"18,700 kilometers is obviously overperformance. I suggest that reducing the maximum distance to 16,000 kilometers is enough. In this way, the payload can be increased to about 16 tons." Another researcher suggested.

"This is a good suggestion. We can develop some improved models." Experts from the mainland inspection team also nodded.

They like to be violent the most. Of course, the bigger the payload, the better. It is best to be able to hit the soul with one shot, that is the most enjoyable.

Of course, the payload of 7.6~16, for those countries whose area does not exceed 100,000 square kilometers, is definitely a sour feeling of going to heaven.

"When the test of another Xiongfeng 9 is completed tomorrow, let's discuss how to improve it!" Huang Haojie returned the report to Li Jie and said.

"OK."

"Just listen to Mr. Huang."...

April 16th.

The second Xiongfeng 9 soared into the sky.

But this time, the Xiongfeng 9 was launched from a transport ship.

It broke into the northeastern Tianzhu Ocean, then crossed the southwestern Tianzhu Ocean, entered the South Atlantic and crashed.

Unlike the single type of the first Xiongfeng 9, the second Xiongfeng 9 is of a mother-and-child type.

Satellite monitoring departments around the world have been shocked to the point of numbness. Even if this thing adopts the current design and does not use mushrooms, it is estimated that it can level a large fleet of Fords with one piece.

The data capsule was recovered.

Huang Haojie met with researchers from the institute, the inspection team from the mainland, and Wang Dalong from Supernova Industries to discuss the next arrangements.

Since Xiongfeng 9 has excess performance, especially in terms of distance, the discussion revolves around these issues.

For example, an enlarged version of Xiongfeng 9; or a version that suppresses distance and enhances the payload; or a version that can launch high-orbit satellites, etc.

From various aspects such as usage and launch methods, they discussed as many as a dozen improved versions.

Based on the principle that there is no need to spend money to talk, these guys have thrown out various magically modified versions. If Huang Junjie hadn't finally told them to stop, there would have been even more improved models.
