Chapter 325: Overseas Astronauts Dumbfounded, What Did I See?

As the new instructions were transmitted from the ground to the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter through quantum communication, the fighter, which was originally flying around the earth at a high altitude, immediately rose and rushed towards outer space outside the atmosphere.

The mobility is amazing.

You have to know that for fighter jets flying at high speeds, they will always be affected when turning, climbing, and descending.

Even at the cost of reducing speed to ensure stability.

This is like on a highway, even if a car is driving normally, you cannot turn the steering wheel directly, otherwise the vehicle will go out of control.

However, this situation does not exist at all on the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter.

No matter how sudden the instruction is, we can always adjust it instantly.

To be able to achieve this level, the fighter's induction force field drive device has played a significant role.

And at the same time.

Inside the Shanghai International Airport, many passengers gathered together and questioned the airport staff.

"When exactly can our flight take off? Why can't it take off?"

"Can you give me a definite answer?"

"The flight has been delayed for so long that my entire trip has been delayed."

"Can't we arrange for another plane to take off?"

The airport staff who were surrounded by the crowd had no choice but to shout as loudly as they could to explain.

"I'm so sorry."

"I understand everyone's feelings, but the flight route has been temporarily turned into a no-fly zone, so we can only wait until the no-fly zone is lifted before the plane can take off normally."

"We have arranged hotels for everyone, and those who are in a hurry can also change their tickets and get refunds."

The maiden flight test of the Xuanniao unmanned air and space fighter is the project that the country currently attaches the most importance to. Everything else must give way unconditionally.

As for the airlines, they naturally did not know that the air ban was due to the maiden flight of the Xuanniao.

They can only resolutely abide by the regulations and temporarily suspend flights on routes within the restricted airspace.

Otherwise, taking off rashly would be a violation of regulations.

Need to take full responsibility.

And this is a responsibility that even the entire civil aviation company cannot bear.

However, the airport staff's remarks obviously failed to calm the passengers on the scene.

As soon as the words fell, the whole scene suddenly became lively again.

Just as the scene was becoming more and more chaotic, a man in a suit, who should be the airport manager, walked over. He spoke before he even stopped walking.

"I have good news for you all. We just received a notice from above that the original no-fly zone has been lifted."

"The plane was cleared to take off."

"Everyone may now begin boarding the plane."

Those who were originally worried about their own travel plans immediately cheered after hearing the news.

Then they stopped arguing and started queuing up in an orderly manner to prepare for boarding.

Despite this minor incident, it was ultimately resolved relatively smoothly.

There were no accidents.

However, the news that the country suddenly established a no-fly zone still caused a lot of discussion among netizens after it was posted online, and later it even topped the hot search lists of many websites and platforms.

The main purpose is to demarcate no-air and no-sea zones to prevent others from rashly entering and affecting the exercises.

This is a very normal thing.

This has happened quite a few times before.

Everyone is used to it.

But the no-fly zone designated this time is above the city, which seems to have nothing to do with acting.

In addition, a high-level escort mission was carried out in the country not long ago.

It is inevitable that it will make people think about it.

"Why is there suddenly a no-fly zone on the flight route? This seems a bit strange."

"Who said it wasn't? I didn't see any official announcement, but the trip was delayed anyway."

"Could it be that they are secretly conducting an exercise?"

"It shouldn't be an exercise over the city. Besides, I didn't see any fighter planes flying overhead. I have a feeling this must be something special."

"If it was an exercise, it must have been in cooperation with the Navy. Besides, who would end an exercise so quickly?"

"I just saw the news, saying that the no-fly zone has returned to normal. Could it be that they are testing some new fighter jet in such a short time?"

"I hope the authorities can issue an announcement as soon as possible, and explain the situation. It's really keeping us on suspense right now."

"It's not like we haven't seen new fighter planes tested before, and we've never seen an airspace blocked off specifically for fighter plane testing. This is just too bizarre and surprising."

……

However, for the general public, the channels for obtaining information are very limited.

Nothing can be analyzed based on speculation alone.

It's just nonsense.

Therefore, in the end, the heat of topics related to this incident was finally successfully reduced.

The scene shifts to low-Earth orbit in space.

Here are artificial satellites launched by various countries, as well as the Tiangong Space Station and the soon-to-be-decommissioned International Space Station.

They are all operating normally on their respective tracks.

And at this moment, these satellites and space stations welcomed a wholehearted neighbor.

A fuselage length of more than 20 meters is nothing in space.

Not even as good as a speck of dust.

But this so-called dust particle is flying in low-Earth orbit at an extremely fast speed.

That's right.

This is none other than the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter that broke through the atmosphere and entered space.

Facts have proved that the overall performance of the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter is very strong and reliable.

Even in the complex and ever-changing outer space, the fighter jet still maintains its perfect functions in all aspects.

On the contrary, it is even easier than being high above the ground.

It is also worth mentioning that the Xuanniao unmanned air and space vehicle is equipped with a pod-mounted pulse accelerator cannon as its main weapon. Its secondary weapons include a small laser cannon and can carry medium-range or short-range high-speed air-to-air missiles.

It can be said that there is no fear of insufficient firepower at all.

Basically, if you want to launch an attack in space, you can easily carry out a devastating fire strike on satellites and space stations.

Of course I wouldn’t do that now.

After all, today, the main task for the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter is to complete tests in all aspects.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter will fly and stay in low-Earth orbit for the next period of time until the fighter's extreme performance is detected and the test is completed.

-

Overseas space exploration technology companies have never given up on the research and development of starships in recent years.

And over the course of several years, several launches were carried out.

Compared with the failure of the first launch test, as the technology gradually matured and experience accumulated, the number of successes increased, and even several leading results were achieved, which made the world's expectations for the starship even higher.

After all, according to the positioning of the starship, it will go to Mars in the future, which is quite difficult for the domestic Long March 10.

In addition to Starship, their company's Dragon spacecraft continues to carry out launch missions.

Serves as a means of transportation from Earth to the International Space Station.

It is responsible for picking up and dropping off astronauts from the member countries of the International Space Station and is very popular among all members.

Luke Simons is an astronaut from NASA. This time he entered the International Space Station mainly to replace some internal equipment in order to extend the life of the International Space Station as much as possible.

You know, according to the expected operating life of the International Space Station, it should have been scrapped and abandoned several years ago.

However, in order to ensure the needs of space scientific research and not to see the Tiangong space station as the only one left in the world, the lifespan of the space station has been extended by replacing equipment parts in recent years.

However, despite this, the operation of the International Space Station has reached its limit.

I'm afraid it will only run until next year at the latest, and then be declared scrapped.

This time they have been on the International Space Station for almost two or three months.

So when the new replacement astronauts arrive, they will return on SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft.

At present, the two of them have already sat in the spacecraft, as the spacecraft and the International Space Station successfully separated.

The spacecraft's engines ignited and carried them back to the ground.

As a veteran astronaut who has performed many space missions, he is very familiar with return flights like this and has more confidence in the safety of the spacecraft.

Therefore, the journey back to Earth was relatively easy for both of them.

Even his eyes were not always fixed on the display screen in front of him. Occasionally, he would look through the circular porthole of the spacecraft to appreciate the beautiful scenery in space, and couldn't help thinking about the relationship between the universe and human beings.

“The Earth is so beautiful!”

Simmons admired the vast blue home planet Earth through the round porthole of the spacecraft.

The whole person is completely immersed in this perspective.

Although he has no idea how many times he has seen this scene, he still can't help but admire it every time.

He sighed from the bottom of his heart, turned around and noticed that his teammate Luke's attention was still on the display screen. He said to himself that it was boring, and then immersed himself in the scenery outside the porthole again.

But at this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank and a look of fear instantly appeared on his face.

Because a mysterious object was discovered that shouldn't be here.

Although the object was quite far away from the spacecraft, it could be seen through the circular porthole of the spacecraft that it seemed to be a fighter plane.

After all, he can still see the satellites and fighter jets.

But it was precisely this that made him feel terrified, as if his entire brain was in a state of shutdown.

Some are not enough.

"Oh my god, what did I see!?"

No one can imagine why there are fighter planes in space.

And it's just floating there.

It was completely beyond my understanding.

After a pause of about two or three seconds, he finally came to his senses.

The next second, he seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly turned his head to look at the spacecraft control display in front of him.

Quickly call up the radar information screen.

However, what he saw was that the radar did not show this mysterious fighter.

This only shows that the technology possessed by fighter jets has surpassed today's human civilization.

Faced with such a horrific situation, there was only one thought left in his mind.

"Could it be a flying vehicle from an alien civilization?"

It can be said that their country is quite enthusiastic about the research on extraterrestrial civilizations and has put it into practical action.

For example, the flying saucer that everyone is familiar with.

But he never imagined that one day he would see a real alien spacecraft on humanity's own spaceship in outer space.

When this thought came to his mind, he was startled at first, and then quickly told his teammates beside him.

"Luke."

"Take your eyes out and see what's outside the left porthole."

"You would never have thought that I would find a fighter plane."

"I can guarantee that it must have come from an alien civilization."

"This will be the greatest discovery ever made by mankind, that we are not alone in the universe."

Simmons became more and more excited as he spoke, and even the fear in his heart just now seemed to have faded a lot.

He was indeed right.

With the development of science and technology of human civilization, we have never given up the exploration of other planets with life in the universe, trying to prove that humans are not alone in the vast universe.

But what is rare is that so far no one has found any substantial evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization.

But now the situation has turned around.

He Simmons, a veteran astronaut from NASA, saw the spacecraft of alien civilization with his own eyes.

One can imagine what a bombshell this news will be around the world when it is passed back. It is no exaggeration to say that many academic circles will be shocked by it.

And as the first human witness, his name will surely be remembered forever.

However, before he could finish his thoughts, he was interrupted by the emotionless words of his teammate Luke.

"You must have had hallucinations in space just now. This is not uncommon."

"Don't worry."

Before he could react, he saw Luke turned his head again with an expressionless face.

His eyes did not linger on the porthole for too long.

Simmons was a little confused at first when faced with this situation, but he quickly reacted and turned his head again to look outside through the porthole beside him.

Unfortunately, this time, apart from the blue planet, there was no mysterious flying vehicle in sight.

So much so that he couldn't help but question himself.

"How could it be that there is none? Am I really hallucinating?"

However, this mentality only lasted for a few seconds, and then his eyes became firm again.

He still believed in his ability as a professional astronaut. He could still tell whether he was hallucinating or not. Although the mysterious aircraft seemed to have left, as long as it existed, it would definitely leave certain traces.

Although the technology possessed by the mysterious aircraft seems to be far beyond human civilization.

It cannot be detected by radar alone.

Judging from the distance and position where the aircraft was parked just now, there is a certain probability that it was photographed by the spacecraft's camera.

As long as you can find the photos, you can prove your judgment.

The fighter plane he saw through the porthole just now was not an illusion he created in space.

As his thoughts reached this point, his attention immediately focused on the display screen in front of him, trying to find the recorded image data of the spacecraft's camera.

While this incident was happening on the Dragon spacecraft, far away on Earth at the control center of the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute, Xu Yuanliang Zhanjun and others all had smiles on their faces.

Obviously, they are very satisfied with the performance of the Xuanniao unmanned space fighter in the low-Earth orbit, and it has fully achieved the expected goals. (End of this chapter)
