Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 920 921 A Star

How to hide a drop of water?That is to hide it in the heavy rain.If there is only one plane flying in the sky every day, people on the ground will always pay attention to such a plane, but if ten or even twenty planes fly overhead every day, then no one will look up and take it for granted something.

Therefore, when the larger, stronger, and even safer C-130 transport aircraft began to perform carrying tasks in the sky, no one realized that the Datang Empire had begun to use more advanced transport aircraft on a large scale.

However, it is regrettable that this aircraft is actually not a qualified "personnel" transport aircraft. Its foundation is a transport aircraft, and it is not developed from a modified DC-47 passenger aircraft like the C-3.

Therefore, Datang Empire's Type 130 transport planes carry out cargo missions most of the time, and only carry a large number of personnel when performing paratrooper airborne missions and special personnel transportation missions.

It was the first time he took the 130 transport plane, and Xiong Xiong was very nervous. It was the first time he had seen such a huge transport plane, and it was also the first time he had seen such a low fuselage, four-engine heavy transport plane with a single wing layout.

Although the interior of this aircraft looks a bit rudimentary, even the seats are temporarily arranged.But Xiong Xi is still very proud, after all, he may be the first batch of foreigners who officially know about the 130 transport aircraft.

The bumps along the way were not comfortable, because this kind of transport aircraft was not specially designed for carrying people, but its powerful carrying capacity still shocked the bear.

The entire transparent transport warehouse has been simply modified to accommodate nearly 100 passengers.This is simply a leap forward for the DC-20 airliner that can only carry more than 3 people.

What surprised Xiong Yu even more was that he was not here to visit the 130 transport aircraft. The biggest purpose of his trip was to participate in an important viewing ceremony.

Yes, he came to watch the ceremony.After spending more than two years in Chang'an, he finally got the chance to leave Chang'an, but this time he left for a short time, in fact, to go to Longdao.

It is not easy to look at the sea under your feet through the portholes, because there are not many portholes on the 130, and the positions are different.

Compared with the windows of the 47 transport aircraft, the window design of the 130 is more like fooling it, as long as it is there.

He didn't know why he was invited to watch the ceremony this time, he just vaguely heard that the Tang Empire was going to make a big event this time.

This is not a secret, because someone has already told him semi-openly: The Tang Empire is going to launch a star into the sky!
After hearing this statement, Xiong Xi felt that the other party was amusing himself: he has grown up so much, and he has never heard that stars can be launched into the sky by people.

So he didn't believe the other party's words at all—it was just that, as he heard more and more people discussing similar content, he began to feel uncomfortable.

That's right, he became uncomfortable: all his common sense of life in the past began to collapse under the challenge of the Tang Empire, and he seemed to understand why so many emperors of the empire hated the Tang Empire.

But soon he became excited again: he felt that this kind of Great Tang Empire was worthy of their Chu country's following and admiration!
Only when the Great Tang Empire becomes stronger and stronger, will the state of Chu become more respectable when they kneel in front of the Great Tang Empire... This is a very logical idea, and once it appears, Xiong Yu is extremely satisfied.

That's right, our state of Chu knelt down, but you guys...have a chance to kneel?

……

In the middle of Long Island, in a huge base, everyone is busy busy.Because the aerospace department of the Datang Empire is inspecting the upcoming second launch vehicle, this rocket will send the first practical artificial satellite of the Datang Empire into space.

The first experimental launch has been successful for several months: after all, there are fully mature design drawings, and everything is going smoothly.

A few months ago, an experimental satellite was launched by the Tang Empire, and it began to play music non-stop in the sky.

That satellite has no practical use, it is just a test product to verify various parameters.This time, the Dragon Island launch base is going to launch another practical artificial satellite.

The purpose of this satellite is different. It is equipped with a super-high-resolution camera and has a very accurate position identification system.

This spy satellite can fly over Dahua, Qin State, Yangmu Empire, and the southern area of ​​the Ice Cold Empire...and then pinpoint almost all cities in these areas.

One such spy satellite can obtain more image data than a plane that takes off 200 sorties, not to mention that the range of the plane cannot cover such a huge area.

No need for any nearby airports, no need to risk your own aircraft entering the airspace of certain countries, no need to take any responsibility even if it fails... This new espionage method is simply perfect.

It's just that this kind of investigation method is not cheap, and it is not so convenient to use now: the film carried by today's reconnaissance satellites still has to be transmitted back to the ground, and real-time monitoring cannot be achieved.

In fact, this is already a kind of progress, but after the success of this spy satellite, the technical department of the Datang Empire will start a comprehensive space development plan.

With the development of technology, reconnaissance satellites will only become more and more advanced, and various follow-up satellites will emerge in endlessly.Remote sensing detection, weather forecast, topographic mapping, image capture, signal transmission, positioning and navigation...

When these satellites start wandering around this planet, there will be no more secrets in this world!

Compared with those immature spy satellites with a single function at the beginning, the spy satellites of the Datang Empire were very advanced from the beginning.

It is equipped with two complementary cameras, which can identify targets the size of buildings and locate all the cities it passes through. The feedback data can greatly improve the attack accuracy of missiles.

The tall steel launcher has been prepared, and the rocket built from the huge factory building beside it is slowly pushed out.

It is about to be fixed on the launch pad, then filled with launch fuel, ready to be launched into orbit more than 200 kilometers above the ground.

When Xiong Xiong sat on the viewing platform in the distance, he felt unreal: all the generals and dignitaries of the Tang Empire were sitting beside him, and he seemed to be the only one who came here to watch the ceremony. A "foreigner".

However, in order to make a documentary, there are really many more cameras and cameras.Everyone is very excited, after all, most of this kind of shooting can be achieved in one shot.

Just looking at the bullet-like but extremely huge rocket from a distance already made it difficult for Xiong Xie to restrain his excitement.

He didn't know why the Tang Empire would create such a super huge cannonball. In his subconscious mind, this cannonball was not for launching stars, but a super cannonball that could be fired hundreds of kilometers away!
In fact, his intuition is not wrong, because if the rocket is replaced with a warhead, it will be a missile—it’s just that the real missile is now lying in the missile silo of the Datang Empire, and what is placed here now is indeed a missile. A rocket that launches a satellite.

Xiong Xiong is very curious, but he really doesn't know anyone he can ask some questions that he is curious about.He can only maintain a relatively fixed sitting posture as much as possible, so that others will not think of any bad things when they see him.

After all, he was just a proton, a hostage to put it bluntly.His safety here depends entirely on his own performance.

More and more people walked into the viewing platform, standing up and applauding from time to time - some officials on Long Island, as well as officials who came from afar, all need to be respected.

Soon, a waiter sent a message that His Majesty the Emperor and the two concubines will enter the venue after a while.

This news suddenly made everyone present tense up, not just Xiong Yu, many officials were unquestionably enthusiastic about His Majesty the Emperor.

As the majestic music sounded, everyone stood up and started applauding. The generals in military uniforms stood at attention and saluted, and the scene became hot.

Indistinctly, Xiong Yu saw a familiar figure appearing in the first row in front, and a woman was seated on either side of him.No need to think about it, that is the most powerful man in the world, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire.

Tang Mo turned around and pressed his palms to the ministers and guests behind him, then turned around and sat in his seat.

Everyone sat back in their seats, and Xiong Xie carefully sat down with the last group of people who sat down, and once again set his sights on the huge shell that was at least 20 meters long.

After waiting for another full hour, there was finally a sound from the rocket.The steel support that fixed the rocket body gradually opened, flames sprayed out from the bottom of the rocket, and rolled up a white mist along the diversion groove.

Immediately afterwards, a loud noise swept across, and everyone present was completely stunned by this spectacular scene.Along with the slight tremor of the earth, the rocket soared into the sky, slowly rising towards the sky.Its speed is very slow, as if it is overcoming the rules and laws of this world.

In the sky full of smoke and dust, the huge tail flame of the rocket elongated little by little, and went away little by little.Before they knew it, everyone suddenly discovered in shock that the huge "cannonball" was about to disappear before their eyes.

"Report!" After the rocket completely disappeared from everyone's eyes, about 20 minutes later, a staff member in a white coat walked straight in front of Tang Mo, raised his chin and reported loudly: " Your Majesty! The first stage of the rocket launch was successful!"

"Crack! Crack!" Tang Mo stood up slowly, and was the first to applaud.

Immediately afterwards, behind him, everyone stood up and clapped their hands: A brand new era is coming!

The second update will be delivered tomorrow morning, so you don't have to wait.
