Chapter 516

Since alphabet completed its ice breaking journey and successfully returned to the Greater China market, many things have become more free.

During the first trial flight of the "China matrix CMSX" for the "arc hawk-1" space transport aircraft, many pictures taken by google satellite earlier were circulated on the Internet, and many news reports were given. Especially in the past three days, CMSX's space base runway has been moving frequently, which can't hide the satellites in the sky.

Today, the latest images released by google satellite show that a snow-white space transport plane appears on the runway and the surrounding ant like crowd is a sign that CMSX has a new action today.

China matrix CMSX did not issue any official announcement during the test flight, but for a while, aerospace and astronomy fields kept a close eye on the matter, especially large space agencies or space exploration companies such as ESA, SpaceX, Amazon and NASA.

Matrix technology has been regarded as one of the most powerful competitors in the field of space exploration with CMSX.

"Launch into the last ten seconds countdown, nine 8 7... "

The voice broadcast resounded in the work hall of the control center of the launch tower. Dozens of staff members performed their respective duties, staring at a series of data information, and everything was in order.

Ren Hong and Liu Yuliang stood side by side. They were at the window isolation and looked at the runway without saying a word.

On the runway, the snow-white "arc hawk No.1" is like a huge Mitsubishi cone. The edges are smoothed and present a striking streamline body. The cross section at the head end of the conical body is the smallest, showing the streamline shape of bullet head, and the end is the largest. The corner is relatively clear after the end. The four large engine jets at the tail are arranged in a tight "cross" shape The nozzle is like a square rotated 45 degrees.

This time, the "arc hawk-1" not only carries the "double flight" mission of the aircraft and the launch tower, but also carries 41 tons of supplies with a total weight of 41 tons, which will be sent to the "Tianzhou" at 478 km altitude.

Obviously, this is the performance of CMSX's full confidence in the "arc hawk-1", which also gives great confidence to the two astronauts on board. The 41 tons of expensive supplies up to 6.7 billion US dollars means that the test flight can only succeed without failure, which can be described as the same as confidence and pressure.

Inside the cockpit, two astronauts kept silent, orderly sweeping on the densely arranged instrument buttons. After finishing everything quickly, one of the astronauts put his right hand on the push valve handle on the thigh flank.

At the same time, the four jets of the main propulsion engine at the end of the body have been reduced by a third at the same time.

"Three 2 One ignition

When the astronauts in the cockpit heard the sound, they did not hesitate to push the push valve handle tightly held by their right hand to the bottom directly. The co pilot was concentrating on locking the data displayed by the instrument on the pilot. He said in a deep voice, "the core engine has been activated, the propulsion power is steadily increasing, and the energy output ratio is normal..."

At that moment, the internal core energy supply system of "arc hawk No.1" was activated, and the high energy storage "Purple source crystal" stored in it was frantically outputting high-purity energy through the energy matrix, and then converted into the thrust of the space transport machine.

At the end of the four jets suddenly ejected four blue and white tongues of fire, the tail flame as long as three or four meters is extremely gorgeous.

In fact, when the transporter is still in parallel with the ground, the power output of the carrier is still higher than that of the main carrier at the bottom.

On the runway, at the moment of ignition, blue and white plumes are emitted from the four jet orifices of the propulsion engine. At the same time, the three parallel ejection tracks intersecting with the body emit the surging sound of air valves. The volume on the runway field is as high as 88 decibels, which can easily cause severe deafness to an adult.

The static "arc hawk-1" space transport plane was instantly pulled by the ejection orbit and "lifted" towards the launch tower. After the transport plane passed by, the three ejection tracks left three straight white fog. Under the influence of the tail propeller, the three sections of white fog then merged into one.

The "arc hawk-1" has already entered the curved launch trajectory of the launch tower from the horizontal runway field, and the sonic boom suddenly resounds, which means that the transport plane has exceeded the speed of sound.

Under normal circumstances, after professional training, astronauts can withstand an acceleration of up to 7-10 g. however, the "arc hawk-1" needs to complete three G accelerations from takeoff to the ninth second. In addition, this process needs to complete a 90 degree angle turn, from horizontal to vertical, which has great requirements for the physical quality of astronauts.

The impact of acceleration on the body, even ordinary people have experienced in life, the most intuitive is the elevator rise, during this period will produce light head and heavy feet, the faster the acceleration is, the more obvious, especially for the human blood circulation system, when the acceleration reaches a certain degree, it will make the human body function produce local serious congestion phenomenon, the other part is strict Severe ischemia, mild impact will lead to inflexible action, severe situation will make limbs stiff, high-risk even make capillary damage, and then endanger life safety.The acceleration of three G is not a problem for astronauts, but don't underestimate the acceleration of these three G, ordinary people will have serious dizziness and nausea under the condition of 3G acceleration, and 5g acceleration will cause serious damage to cerebral blood vessels and affect life threat. Fortunately, for ordinary people, professional astronauts or pilots with excellent physical quality also have professional advanced After the protection of the escort suit, it can withstand more acceleration.

It is worth mentioning that in today's aerospace activities, very few manned vehicles have an acceleration of more than 7 g as in the last century, and usually only maintain an acceleration of 3-5 G.

This is not to say that today's manned aircraft is not as good as before, but today's technology is more advanced. In the past, rocket booster or manned aircraft must reach a certain limit before they can send astronauts to space safely. However, today's technology is more advanced and the facilities are more comprehensive, which makes astronauts suffer a lot.

When the nose of foxhawk-1 turns to the sky along the launch tower, it has completed the acceleration of two g at the moment when the body and the ejection orbit separate at the top. Then, the acceleration will reach 3 G in the ninth second, and finally reach 4.3 g. then it will keep stable speed and drive out into outer space.

Going back and forth between space and the ground, or between acceleration and deceleration, is the most painful moment for astronauts. Fortunately, such pain lasts a short time.
