Chapter 199

In the northern part of the Republic of Mali, near the equator, there is a military restricted zone of hundreds of square kilometers.

Five large military bases encircle the forbidden area in the middle, with a layer of high-voltage wire fence at the outside, and a four meter high wall inside to completely isolate the area from the outside world.

Standing on a mountain in the distance, through a telescope, you can see five skyscrapers and a tower of gray concrete in this military restricted zone.

Biological displays are installed above the buildings in this area. When there are activities, there will be a large biological display to cover the whole camp, so that the outside world can not find out what is going on in this area through satellite.

On February 1, 2002, the weather was clear and cloudless.

A convoy of ten Velociraptor armored vehicles was slowly approaching the military restricted area.

Several armed helicopters flew quickly over the convoy, but when they approached the military restricted zone, they stopped moving and stayed outside an invisible cordon.

Within 10 kilometers of the military restricted zone, there is a no fly zone, which is inaccessible to both military and civilian aircraft. More than ten anti-aircraft guns and various types of air defense missiles in the base are constantly monitoring this airspace.

When the convoy came to a military base serving as the entrance, dozens of soldiers in strong colonial armor came out of the open door carrying heavy machine guns and individual rockets, and came to the convoy on guard.

"Show me your papers!" A guard came to the front of the armored car and patted the body.

"It's me." In the middle of the team, the side armor of a black lengthened armored vehicle was drawn upward, revealing a thick layer of bulletproof glass. Tang sat inside and sent a spiritual message to a dead man standing above the gate.

"It's the boss. Open the door!" The dead man nodded and pressed several switches in front of him. At this time, the second gate began to scratch to both sides, revealing a road leading to the base.

Tang's body armor closed again and the team sped into the base.

More than ten minutes later, Tang came to the huge tower in the center of the military restricted zone.

Below the 150 meter high concrete tower is a huge pit with a depth of three kilometers. Standing above the pit, you can see layers of flashing lights in the pit.

"How are you getting ready?" Tang Shizhe and others took an elevator inlaid in the inner side of the pit and began to descend toward the ground.

"The fuel has been filled up and we are waiting for your order." A researcher in charge of leading the way pushed his glasses nervously.

Since his company was acquired by Titan group, he has been assigned to this shitty military base. In this year and a half, he devoted all his energy to the building under them!

Today is the date when the planned building will be put into use for the first time. His heart is very nervous for fear of any mistakes.

Looking at the corridors and protective boards inlaid on the pit wall outside the elevator, Tang Shizhe felt a surge of emotion. His dream for many years was finally coming true. Today, the world will march into a new era.

A few minutes later, the high-speed elevator stopped at the bottom of the pit. At this time, a line of people saw the 50 meter high white rocket standing at the bottom of the pit.

Several robotic arms held the rocket firmly to five elevators on the track around the tunnel.

Because the fuel has been filled up, the rocket is now ready to launch, and all the staff around the rocket have been evacuated to a safe area.

Tang Shizhe was led by the researchers to a control room inside the wall above the rocket. A 10 meter high reinforced glass allows the staff in the control room to see all the conditions in the hole clearly.

"Titan-1 launch vehicle ready to launch! All personnel in place! " A staff member saw Tang sit down, picked up the phone and yelled.

All the staff immediately trotted back to their posts, while the lights in the control room began to dim.

"Ready to launch procedure, close control room armor!" As the staff's voice dropped, a layer of several meters thick alloy armor fell from the top of the control room glass, firmly covering the control room glass.

Then the original glass began to appear on a different size of the screen, in addition to the monitoring in the hole is the rocket's various readings.

"The electromagnetic acceleration track starts to store energy, and the energy supply blanket is stable! It's expected to be launched in ten seconds! "

"The air in the launching tunnel has been evacuated!"

"Rocket ready to launch!"

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"..."

"three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Rocket fire! The stabilizer is ready to come off! " With a shout, a yellow flame began to spray from under the rocket at the bottom of the hole, and a large amount of smoke began to diffuse throughout the hole.The elevator fixed on the orbit around the hole began to drive the rocket to rise slowly. At the same time, the huge thrust generated by the thruster under the rocket made the rocket rise faster and faster.

After the rocket went up a kilometer at high speed, all the mechanical arms fixed on the rocket suddenly loosened, and the rocket began to rush up alone.

"Pay attention to the angle of the rocket and start to enter the electromagnetic acceleration phase!"

The remaining two kilometers in the tunnel are all electromagnetic orbits for electromagnetic acceleration.

When the rocket enters the electromagnetic acceleration phase, the speed immediately increases by one quarter, and is still climbing.

At this time, in order to prevent the plume from damaging the electromagnetic acceleration orbit, all the fuel propellers on the rocket were shut down, and only a few turbojet engines were used to assist.

The vast amount of electricity stored in thousands of square kilometers of blanket is consumed instantly.

At this time, the rocket was accelerated to five kilometers per second.

This speed is not enough to send a rocket into space, but the rocket itself carries a propulsion device.

The electromagnetic acceleration device is only to save some fuel consumption of the rocket. When the rocket leaves the ground and rises into the air, all its propellers turn on again, pushing the rocket directly to the first cosmic speed.

Soon, the rocket has reached the position of the atmosphere, the intense heat makes the heat insulation outside the rocket emit a faint red light.

At this time, the tail thruster of the rocket is thrown away, and the propulsion cabin, which takes up more than half the length of the rocket, begins to fall towards the ground.

This section of the propulsion module will open the parachute and buffer device before landing to ensure that it can be recycled and reused.

Dozens of minutes later, the rocket reached its intended orbit, the dome on its head opened like a petal, and a black satellite broke away from the rocket and entered space.
