Give the universe a little earth shock

Chapter 24 Starship Test Flight
The location of the emergency assembly is the cave where the starship is parked, and people in the base call it the cradle.

It could be seen that the people at the base had rehearsed countless times in advance, the assembly process was tense but orderly, and everyone quickly gathered at their posts without any panic.

Slightly drunk, Yuan Hui rushed in from the outside, his eyes looked redder than in the afternoon, and he loudly commanded the people in the materials office, "Go and turn on the equipment at full power, we will finish the cockpit fight! Speed ​​up!"

Someone replied, "Director Yuan! The cockpit is finished!"

Yuan didn't have time to think about it when he came back, and he thought it was processed in advance by himself, "It's so fucking good, put it on, hurry up!"

The people from the Mechanical Design Institute rushed to the scaffolding at the front of the starship with the Cass alloy components. Time was running out, and they had to get on it too.

Li Yufu had already put on his combat uniform, and he handed over the command to others. He was currently doing the final examination in front of the medical examination equipment.

"Professor Li," taking advantage of the examination, the major general lying next to the medical staff chatted with Li Kaiyang, "Are you nervous?"

Li Kaiyang, who assisted Chen Xingan in adjusting the engine parameters, raised his head, "Shouldn't I ask you this? Don't drink and drive."

Li Yufu turned his head, looked at the assembled Hayabusa, and said, "Welcome to Wuyi."

"what?"

Li Kaiyang quickly understood what he meant, and the members of the emergency committee with red armbands held the loudspeakers to put all the equipment back in place. This was the [-]rd emergency drill of the Wuyi base.

Five years, 820 five days, an average of half a month for a rehearsal, every rehearsal is unprepared, at any time, any place, under any circumstances, no one knows whether this is a rehearsal or a real one.

It is hard to imagine how strong the will of the people at the base is to persevere in such a high-pressure environment.

The exercise ended, the personnel dispersed, and the hands of the clock came to three o'clock in the morning.Only Yuan Hui and the people from the Materials Institute were left on the scene to proofread the structure of the cockpit. Director Yuan has a bad temper and is a first-class expert with work experience. Even if he is drunk, he can still find small details mistake.

Looking at the tired look on his face that could not be concealed, Li Kaiyang stopped the thought of testing Cass alloy overnight, tonight is not a good opportunity.

After adjusting the engine parameters, Chen Xingan walked back from the nozzle of the starship, and said, "Deliberated and decided to conduct a take-off test tomorrow morning."

"A test flight so soon?"

"Time is running out, and if we don't see some positive feedback, everyone will be discouraged."

"The test can be done after take-off, and it can be done tomorrow afternoon."

she continued.

Li Kaiyang nodded, "No problem, Director Yuan can't escape anyway."

Silent all night.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Kaiyang rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up from the hard bed.

When he finished washing and came to the cradle, he saw the dazzling skylight shining down from the top of the mountain cavity, and the Hayabusa was bathed in sunlight, parked on the lifting platform, ready to go.

The maintenance work before the take-off test has been completed, and Li Yufu boarded the cockpit wearing a dark blue combat uniform.

The Hayabusa completely subverted the design idea of ​​the fighter plane. The dish-shaped appearance ensures a large enough command space for the bridge. The engine falls at the end, which always feels a little top-heavy. Looking from the ground, you can just see Li Yufu sitting on the bridge. The ok gesture in the front cockpit.

There are still many places in the starship that are vacant. Wu Hui considered enough redundant space at the beginning of the design, and they will be used for the expansion of the ecological cycle system.

The platform rises slowly, like Kuafu holding up the sky, holding the crimson ship on the top of the mountain, without the need for a long takeoff and landing runway, the powerful power system endows Hayabusa with the ability to take off and land vertically .

Li Kaiyang got the planned flight route map, Hayabusa will accelerate to the first cosmic speed in the troposphere, and finally cross the Karman line, reach the top of the exosphere 480 kilometers above the ground, then circle half of Asia, and then return to the cradle .

The whole journey is expected to take 30 minutes.

Along with the map, there is also a special tablet. There are many cameras fixed in the bridge. Through the tablet, you can adjust the viewing angle of Hayabusa at any time.

The time to take off came. During the countdown of the mechanical sound, everyone evacuated to the open space and looked up at the starship under the golden glow with hope.

The warning monument disappeared.

A big hole was opened in the ceiling of the United Nations Hall. For five years, satellites and cameras aimed at it all the time failed to capture any traces. It just disappeared under the noses of the EF organization.

Bole's face was as green as a piece of pig iron, and he couldn't help but blame the softness and decisiveness of the Congress and the White House. If the retreat bill had been passed earlier, why should we face the current situation?
The night in the metropolis is dark and deep. In the dark clouds that no one has noticed, the disappearing warning monument is quietly suspended in the sky above the metropolis.

Still a cigar-shaped structure, but the individual has swelled to the size of the Empire State Building.

The United States Air Force was the first to discover the warning monument. In the phase-controlled radar covering New York, a bright spot appeared inexplicably. The F-45 fighter jet with the US FORCE logo was rushing to Mach 3 with a full load of weapons. At the scene, the pilot reported the situation in the communication system, and the radio was silent for a while, as if hesitating to attack or observe.

While the military was silent, the witness phone came to Bole. He kicked open the door of the auditorium, ran to the open space and looked up at the dark sky. He could vaguely see a formation of F-45s circling in a dark sky. next to the giant.

"Damn it!"

Bole shouted to the other end of the phone, "Let the Air Force withdraw the formation, don't seek death!"

But the hawks in the military obviously didn't think so. After a few minutes of silence, according to airspace regulations, the pilot received an order: "Fire freely."

"receive."

The flight formation turned around, the fire control radar calibrated and locked on to the warning monument, and missiles loaded with electromagnetic pulse warheads roared out.

The explosion in mid-air shattered the glass windows of the Metropolis, and the residents finally noticed the vision in the sky.

The electromagnetic pulse missile bloomed the most gorgeous flower of death, illuminating the entire night sky. In the flames of the explosion, the dark black hovering spaceship quietly overlooked the earth.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, a beam of extremely bright red rays swept across, covering all the light at once, like an extremely hot long knife, evaporating everything it touched, and the metropolis instantly ignited a raging fire , the most proud F-45 fighter jet in the United States was swept away, broke into two pieces, and fell to the ground.

Everything happened in an instant, there was no ups and downs, and there was no soul-stirring, only continuous explosions as companions.

The spaceship transformed into the warning monument slowly lifted off, and disappeared over New York in another instant. This time it did not cover its whereabouts, and the military satellite in orbit captured its whereabouts.

"Where did it go?"

Bole asked eagerly.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, "Asia Minor, the ground height is 480 kilometers."
