In early July.

A military base in the eastern theater.

A military vehicle was passing through the camp, preparing for the upcoming drill.

At this moment, in the open space in the middle of the camp, there is a silver and strange airplane.

The design of two short and two long wings, as well as the cylinder engine with amazing volume and proportion, do not look like it can fly. However, the zero failure rate that has been maintained so far is enough to dispel everyone's concerns about whether this guy can do it or not.

Xiaguang.

This is its model, and it is also named after the factory.

After delivering it to the eastern theater, the air and space forces affiliated to the theater gave it a more domineering name and wrote it on the fuselage with special paint.

That is, Thunderbirds.

It can soar to the top of the sky and send down thunder thousands of miles away.

Just like the name of the aerial plane, it can be used as a transport vehicle to and from the low earth orbit, and also as a carrier for ballistic missiles in outer space to attack air and ground.

Li Guangliang, who jumped from the military jeep, dressed in special combat clothing and had a special paratrooper rifle on his chest, took a look at the silver sky plane in the middle of the camp, and smashed his tongue with a shocking expression.

I don't know whether it's because he's been in hospital for too long, or whether the speed of technological progress has exceeded his imagination. He doesn't know when the army uses such a powerful thing.

It's been a month since we left hospital and joined the air force.

For him, the past month is more substantial than the past two years.

It's the first time he's ever heard of equipment, tactics, or even combat modes.

According to the trainers who trained them, they are now arguably one of the most technologically advanced forces in the world.

As a land force relying on aerial vehicles, they are much higher than the traditional marine corps and the traditional army paratroopers in terms of deployment range and speed.

In tactics, they are required to be able to rely on advanced equipment to play a leading role in combat effectiveness and viability.

In terms of strategic positioning, their responsibilities are to quickly cross the front line in wartime, carry out surgical attack on important targets in the enemy's rear area, and in peacetime, cross the border of other countries to support overseas key personnel and important strategic facilities.

It is said that the tactics they learned in training were all developed by several professors at the level of major general of the National Defense University. Before that, they only stayed on papers and simulation exercises, even for the first time in the exercise.

Just as Li Gaoliang recited the outline of the exercise in his heart, an officer in the army's green camouflage came to all of them.

"Stand up!"

"Take a break!"

Looking at the orderly soldiers, the officer nodded and continued in a loud and serious voice.

"The exercise will begin in ten minutes."

"Before you come here, I believe that you have reviewed many times, and I will not talk much nonsense."

"Here, I have two words to say. Speed, time is life! The action should be ruthless, every drill, give me to fight as a war! "

"Now, tell me loudly, what is the code of action!"

With almost all his strength, Li Gaoliang, standing in the queue, roared back.

"Mission!"

As if in response to their momentum.

The officer, standing in front of the line, roared without losing.

"Go!"

With that start, the soldiers in the camp moved.

A total of 20 people, divided into five groups, with four people as the unit, boarded the Thunderbird in an orderly manner. The shining arms are full of the atmosphere of extermination, and the sci-fi sense of "Thunderbird", but there is a sense of complementing each other.

Take a seat on the fixed seat in the cabin, Li Gao Liang connects the internal health protection system to the combat suit, and then quietly counts down in his heart, waiting for the moment to come.

Soon, a slight tremor came from the bottom of his foot and crawled all over his body along the titanium skeleton.

Vehicles near the sky plane have been evacuated. Under the guidance of the ground command center, Thunderbird slowly drove up the takeoff runway and turned on the engine spraying plasma plume.

The light blue arc flickered faintly. As the hot plasma spewed out of the engine, the plane was dragged forward like something, gradually separated from the ground, pulled up the nose, and flew towards the boundless deep space.

Looking out of the window at the clouds and the darkness, Li Gaoliang, who was sitting in the fixed seat in the cabin, took a deep breath.

In half an hour, they will reach low earth orbit.And there, the highest skydiving in human history If their equipment can be called an umbrella.

At this time, the communication channel, came to the small team members of the small voice communication.

"Mom, it's the first time I've flown this high."

"Now the altitude reaches 20km We have broken through the upper limit of the average plane

"It's the first time I've jumped so high after so many parachutes."

"What do you say if the umbrella doesn't open?"

"Shut up!"

For the vast majority of people sitting in the cabin, they are flying at such a high altitude for the first time. It is impossible to say that they are not nervous at all.

Therefore, Li did not stop his little team members from talking to each other. In many cases, chatting is also a way to release pressure. Although he is more inclined to adjust himself when he is closed to the eyes, this way is not suitable for everyone.

Taking back his sight from the window, Li Gaoliang closed his eyes.

In order to keep himself in the best condition for a while, he plans to keep his eyes closed for a while.

But just then, one of his team members spoke to him.

"Captain, do we have a space station in the sky?"

For a while, Li Gaoliang thought about it.

Before the exercise, the chief told them that they needed to change planes in the sky and complete the exercise of parachute jumping, but he didn't tell them where to change.

For the Moon Palace, which is now an international scientific research institution led by China, it is obviously inappropriate to use it for military purposes.

As for the others

Li Gaoliang's heart moved slightly, and the answer seemed to be coming out.

"No space station."

"But we have magpie bridge."

……

Li Gaoliang didn't expect that he was just a random guess, but he was really right.

Sitting on the Thunderbird and looking out, I saw that the near black spacecraft, like a sharp angled canoe, was floating in the boundless cold night.

Because of the distorted sense of distance in space, it was not until the two spacecraft moved close enough that Li Gaoliang could really see the true appearance of the magpie bridge, which can only be seen on TV or on the Internet.

Of course, there are many differences between the magpie bridge floating in front of him at the moment and the magpie bridge between the moon and the earth all day long.

Just like the Thunderbird they are riding on, the so-called "magpie bridge" only corresponds to its model.

Now, it's called the Great Wall.

As the first and only carrier ship of China's aerospace forces, it is also the only one sailing in outer space. The meaning of the Great Wall, like its name, is to defend the highest frontier of China.

Usually, the Great Wall cruises outside of the synchronous orbit and stands by, leaving only four people to stay and watch in shifts. When necessary, it can be used as the air command of the air force at any time, even as an air fortress, to suppress all flying units on the low orbit.

After five minutes of orbit changing and switching, the two spacecraft that have almost been close together have finally completed the final docking.

In the heart relieved breath, but Li Gao Liang did not have the slightest relaxation.

Up to now, all the exercise subjects belong to the spacecraft pilots in the air and space forces and the ground command center.

And from the moment the spacecraft is docked, the training subjects belonging to these Marines are just beginning!

The lock of the life insurance system was released. With the lock on the combat suit opened, Li Gaoliang quickly called his team and quickly passed through the connection port of the spacecraft in the order of team number to reach the belly compartment of the Great Wall.

In the belly cabin, there are five painted black rhombic air drop cabins. The bottom of the cabins is connected with the deck, which is connected by a series of tracks with a "concave" section.

As had been contacted countless times during the training, everyone boarded the airborne module at the fastest speed and checked their weapons and ammunition for the last time.

He tried to control his breathing. Although he was a little nervous, Li Gaoliang managed to complete all operations as calmly as possible and closed the door of the airborne cabin.

Almost at the same time that he closed the hatch, the voice of the commander came from the communication channel.

"The Great Wall is in orbit!"

"After the track parameters are corrected, the current height is 117.4km, and it will reach the best throwing area in 2 minutes!"

Feeling the traction from his back, Li Gaoliang's breath gradually shortens.

Although he could not see the situation outside the cabin, he could feel that he was standing at the door of the Great Wall at the moment, and even half of his foot had stepped out of the edge of the highest frontier.

This is a hundred kilometers above the ground.

There is no howling wind here.

There is not even air.But that invisible cold, but not to see, can be clearly felt.

"The airborne area is locked. Remember your mission and your mission!"

"Steel is our footprint!"

"Good luck, soldiers!"

"Ship cabin separation!"
