"Communications from Changwen Launch Base, they have already sent things out of the warehouse, and asked if they want to send it over or receive it in the past."

"What about the airborne platform?"

"We only have two fat girls that have been transferred, and they have to deliver supplies for the follow-up satellite interception plan, which is very important."

"The space station is more important or the asteroid is more important!"

"The space station is more important than Dongshan City - what's the use of your mother yelling so loudly! How many people do you have in Dongshan City?"

"Our space station costs [-] billion!"

"There are more than [-] people in Dongshan City! I dare to give you one hundred million yuan per person, do you dare to pay for it?!"

A group of engineers were arguing and arguing in the huge command hall. A huge special projection table stood in the center of the command hall, exuding a light blue luminous color-a holographic projection of a space station was suspended on the table. .

Nuwa's voice sounded from the air: "The tyrant has accepted this mission, but with all due respect, this is not an appropriate choice."

"This is our only option." General Lu, who had been standing at the table without speaking, said, "Except for the Zhuxian, we have no way to prepare a launch vehicle that can be sent into space within three hours."

Of course, the Republic is not short of rockets. Give them enough time to prepare, and they will be able to shoot something into the sky 24 hours a day without stopping, twice a week, once for three days and once for four days.

The problem is that the Republic lacks time - three hours is not even enough for a rocket launch, and it takes more man-hours to inject fuel than that, not to mention the window time for loading to find a launch.

The flexibility of the aerospace fighter is that it can be deployed at any time and start at any time. Although the Zhuxian is only a prototype of the aerospace fighter, it cannot fully achieve the performance preset in the initial design stage, but in the current situation, there is no more suitable than it. chosen.

In fact, if the silver-haired woman refuses the mission, they will also send the Zhuxian to attack, but the pilot will be replaced by another person.

For example, a super hunk with a height of 1.9 meters, the indescribable soldier King Colonel Mo.

As the special honorary commander of the Marine Corps flying a carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier, the other party has too many elements of identity, and he is treated as a son wherever he is. In the current military sequence, only the other party can barely drive Zhu Xian. No.

It's just that in that case, some things in the Zhuxian's cockpit need to be removed, which will also reduce the feasibility of the plan.

Some people may ask, why not go directly to the driverless car?

After all, Nuwa's artificial intelligence is so powerful, and the quantum communication link is also open, without delay.

But the current situation is that there is really no way to send the Zhuxian into space in an unmanned state - the plasma sheath in the black barrier area is like a ruthless shackle, sending the unmanned aerospace fighter into space. The dream is locked behind the door.

Although everyone can see the dawn, it is only the dawn, and there is no solution.

After all, the aerospace fighter is not like a launch vehicle. The latter can directly rush out of space with strong thrust after setting the orbit, but the aerospace fighter needs to fine-tune too many details, whether it is the change of the aerodynamic shape in the atmosphere, or the black Emergency operations in the obstacle area have to be done by humans, and any out-of-gear operation means that the entire aerospace fighter is out of control.

After entering space, it can be handed over to Nuwa, and within the atmosphere, it can be handed over to the ace on the ground, but in the junction area between the two, there is only artificial.

"Now that there are people on the mission, let's continue."

The moment General Lu spoke, the engineers who had been arguing before all stopped.

He glanced at everyone, his eyes did not mean reproach, he just asked calmly: "What are the key components needed?"

"A high-altitude platform for Zhuxian, a booster propulsion system to help Zhuxian out of the atmosphere, a dedicated fairing, and one-off special thrusters that we'll be transporting to the space station."

"Very good, so what are we ready for now? Tell me the one with the highest degree of completion."

"As for the fairing, Changwen has already made it. It can be done in 30 minutes, but it takes a lot of time to transport it to our side."

"Then don't ship it, can it be installed at the Changwen launch base?"

"It can't be done, they have aerospace technicians, but no fighter preparation..."

"What about transporting to Base 07?"

"……it should be OK."

"Well, then send it over." General Lu took a pen and signed his name on the electronic command board: "What else?"

"The one-time special thruster has been out of the warehouse. If it is together with the fairing, it can be sent to Base 07 synchronously."

"Then do it - so the problem now is that we can't find a suitable high-altitude platform, and Zhuxian's boost system?"

"In terms of high-altitude delivery platforms, it's not so much that we can't find them. It's better to say that we don't have suitable delivery experience and modification plans." An engineer bowed his head, with a humiliated expression on his face, and his voice was difficult: "After all, the Zhuxian is only in the atmosphere. During the test flight, we haven't even done a simulation of protruding out of the atmosphere, and we don't even have an exclusive high-altitude delivery platform plan..."

In fact, there are two plans for Zhuxian to enter space. One is to follow the design of the original Millikin to launch the spaceship, that is, to use a special aircraft to carry it to the [-]-meter ceiling, and then ignite the booster in the air. m high-altitude launch to a higher place.

The other is to place it on a carrier rocket and launch it on a land-based basis—this is also the mature plan they envisaged. For this reason, there are special parameter calculations and equipment retention. After all, everyone wants to do this in the future. It's more perfect.

But the Republic just doesn't have time to launch a rocket right now. It would be better to say that if there is time to prepare a launch vehicle, there is no need for the Zhuxian to take the risk.

This seems to have become an endless loop of nesting dolls——

We need to launch Zhuxian into space instead of launch vehicles.

You need a launch vehicle to launch the Zhuxian into space.

We just don't have time to launch launch vehicles!Only need to hit the Zhuxian number!

But you must have a launch vehicle!Only then can the Zhuxian number be hit!

"No, we have data." A voice interjected, and the silver-haired lady's familiar Miss Guide appeared in the command hall with a group of prospective astronauts.

Everyone looked at her with different expressions, some felt guilt, some couldn't bear it, and some even showed pity. Most of them looked away from her when they looked at her.

"We have data." Her eyes were a little red, and she repeated in a hoarse voice: "Last night, we had a complete set of simulation data, and behind that set of data is the simulation of seven supercomputers, and the plan is still mature. "

Director Lu opened his mouth and finally sighed: "Xiao Chen, your father he..."

"My dad is doing what he should do, and I understand him." Miss Guide shook her head: "From the time he left Blue Star, he didn't exist for himself, it was his astronaut. duty."

Miss Gui's father is currently the oldest astronaut in the Republic other than Teacher Yang, her mother is an original reserve astronaut, and she herself is almost certain to be the next astronaut space station leader. Behind the honor of the three astronauts is a heavy family pressure.

Before the country was at home, it was their normal life-the same choice was made by the three pilots in General Lu's family, and they did not choose to retreat because of their family's efforts.

It is precisely because of these people that they have created this unprecedented prosperity.

"You mean yesterday's simulator?" General Lu frowned slightly: "Is that set of data feasible? What about the booster system? The simulator is designed with a booster system by default, but in fact we don't."

"Yes! Use the blizzard system of the Jinyang Launch Center! Academician Long is verifying key data. From the current point of view, there is no big problem!"

"No big problem, or no problem?" General Lu's voice became serious: "Major Chen, I am asking you this question as the person in charge of the launch base, please answer me in an appropriate capacity - I do not Hope to hear an answer from a caring daughter."

"...There is no critical error, but the parameters cannot be fully applied, there is a high possibility of entering space, and the return stage...there may be an accident." Miss Guide's voice gradually became lower, and then she took a deep breath and her tone was firm again. : "So I begged that I will drive the Zhuxian!"

"I reject."

"If you can't return, then please let me drive! I have relevant training experience as an astronaut, and I can enter the space station when necessary and wait for the follow-up rescue!"

"I said, I refuse."

"This is the most suitable plan!" Miss Guide wanted to argue with reason: "Please let me go!"

This is the best plan she came up with. If the Zhuxian cannot return to the atmosphere in a conventional way, she can enter the space station to avoid it. It is nothing more than using the Zhuxian as a one-time launch vehicle.

The value of the silver-haired girl and the space station is not easy to compare, but if you use the Zhuxian, the space station is definitely more expensive and consumes more effort.

"Then let me ask you, can you withstand the extreme overload of 35G without aerospace-grade anti-G equipment?"

"I--"

"You can't! You can't keep the Zhuxian into space at all, and you will die on the way!" General Lu put his hands on the table, leaned forward, and stared at her like a falcon: "If you are lucky enough to enter In space, will you choose to give up the Zhuxian and not try to return in the usual way?!"

"..."

"You can't either! You know what the Zhuxian means, you will definitely choose to try to enter the atmosphere, and because of this attempt, you will lose the opportunity to enter the space station to escape!"

"But……"

"No but! Even if you are extremely lucky and complete the operation of entering space and entering the atmosphere normally, you will not be able to withstand the pressure of the black barrier in the subsequent return stage - you will become a tattered rag doll! And the Zhuxian you are driving will become the second asteroid to hit! It will hit the land of our Republic with a return speed of over Mach 40! Like a small tactical nuclear bomb, it will destroy all facilities in a radius of at least 20 square kilometers! You thought you saved the space station, but in fact you will become a sinner to the country and the people!!"

The guide lady stood in the courtyard with a pale face, dripping with cold sweat: "I..."

"...Your fault is not in your plan, but in that you do not have the corresponding strength. Your current state is not suitable for participating in this mission, and according to your identity, I also have to carry out the 'relevant personnel relative avoidance'. Regulations!"

General Lu ignored Director Lu's hand that was holding him, and even ignored his old partner's intention to persuade him to say a few words less, straightened his back and said bluntly: "Come on! Invite Major Chen to the confinement room and search for her. All items on your body are not allowed to communicate with the outside world, and the time limit is 12 hours!"

The guards present were a little unbearable when they heard the words, and looked at each other for half a second. Even walking towards this side, their movements seemed a bit slow.

General Lu glanced over and raised his voice: "Can't you hear? Execute the order!"

"……Yes!"

The guards had no choice. The captain in the lead looked at Miss Guide, staggered his gaze, and said softly, "Team Chen, please don't make it difficult for the brothers..."

The guide lady lowered her head resignedly and walked out.

When she came to the door, General Lu's voice came from behind, making her footsteps stop.

"As the person in charge, I need to lock you up, but as a close friend of your father, I can tell you clearly."

The guide lady turned her head back subconsciously, with a little hope in her eyes——

General Lu did not raise his head, but just stared at the projection of the space station that was constantly calculating the safe orbit, and the voice returned to calm: "We will not give up any hope, the final plan is to concentrate all the energy in the Tusui in the event of the failure of the Zhuxian. Palace cabin..."

Miss Guide's eyes were shocked, her comprehension rose, and she murmured: "It can be separated from the space station as a whole and change its orbit to a safe place alone!"

"But in that case, it means that we have given up so many years of hard work, and the entire Celestial Space Station will be destroyed." General Lu raised his hand and signed his name on the electronic command board with the pen in his hand: "From From now on, I announce that the Xiquan Satellite Launch Base has entered the first-level combat readiness state, and the Changwen Launch Center, Jiujiang Launch Center, and Jinyang Launch Center will be brought into the command system simultaneously, and I will be fully responsible for all orders—"

Even if he gave up the responsibility of the entire space station, even if he fell into the pretext of becoming a national sinner, he would take it all up.

At his age and rank, he has a bright future. Even if the country understands that all this is an accident, someone must explain it.

This account can be many people, or it can be just one person - as long as a person with a strong enough identity.

Miss Guide's vision was obscured, she wiped away her tears fiercely: "We will succeed!"

"Yes." General Lu waved his hand: "Take her down... The order is as follows!"

"Whoa-"

Whether it was engineers or guards, or military personnel whose affiliations could not be disclosed, they all stood at attention and waited for orders.

"Order! Jinyang Launch Base, immediately transfer the Blizzard System to Launch Base 07."

"Order! Inform the civil aviation department that we need to mobilize a 07-747G2B airliner closest to Base 4."

"Order! The engineers of the four launch bases will complete the modification plan of the high-altitude carrying platform and the loading plan of the blizzard system within 30 minutes."

"Order... cooking classes from all over the world prepare a celebration feast. After completing the task, everyone will have a good meal."

When the last sentence came out, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed, everyone couldn't help laughing, and General Lu himself had a slight curvature of his mouth, his expression calm: "Okay, as long as we complete each task. Well, it can always succeed - go!"

Everyone dispersed in the remaining relaxed atmosphere, and each continued to work. Only Director Lu, his old partner, stood beside General Lu and saw his hands clenched into fists after he lowered them.

Patting the tough guy on the shoulder, Director Lu said in a low voice, "We have a saying from the losers. I think it sounds quite comforting now."

"What... Besides, when did you become a member of the Gongshu family?"
