Super Weapon Swap System

Compared with the spaceship, the space of the space shuttle is larger and the personnel activities are more convenient. The spaceship can accommodate up to three people, while the space shuttle can accommodate seven crew members. Now, these seven people wear spacesuits in the cabin and carry the life maintenance system in their hands, walk in front of the flash lights of countless recorders, and walk towards the final glory of their life.

"The launch preparations are ready. As long as they board the plane, they can take off," swangeland said.

In fact, ESA also wants to engage in manned spaceflight, but the investment is too large. They are simply unable to maintain this huge investment. Therefore, they can only watch eagle and bear countries engage in manned spaceflight, and even now Han countries have begun to engage in manned spaceflight. They can only watch.

This is also a pity of swangeland. Because of his regret, he can only look at the big screen with expectant eyes. Here, it is almost like watching the flight on the spot.

Fortunately, this is a live broadcast.

There may be a delay of a few seconds when the signal is transmitted here. However, the picture is still clear. However, who would have thought that these people are beginning to prepare for boarding, but they just don't hear the next order.

"That's strange. What are they doing?" someone asked discontentedly.

"I guess their door is frozen. I'm afraid they are sawing the door handle with a saw blade now." Qin Guan suddenly said.

"Mr. Qin, your joke is really funny. Is this demeaning your peers?" an expert from Hughes company asked.

As Eagle people, they have a sense of pride. Now they heard Qin Guan's joke and immediately refuted it.

Qin Guan's face was serious and didn't go on. Therefore, the questioner could only stay in the original place awkwardly. Then he went to look at the big screen.

The space shuttle Challenger is still waiting quietly on the launch pad. Because the picture is too huge, many details can be seen. For example, you can see the location of the nozzle of the rocket engine with huge icicles. The weather there is very cold.

Finally, after waiting for a few hours, the orders of the space city were issued one by one, and the launch entered the countdown.

When entering the last countdown, almost all the viewers held their breath. Almost all the representatives of other countries who came to the space city this time watched it here. The picture of this giant screen attracted them very much.

Fire!

In fact, before the ignition, you can see the bottom of the shuttle engine, emitting white smoke, and even see the huge ice cone hanging below. Now is the coldest time of the year.

The white smoke is the result that liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen have entered the engine and atomized rapidly. Then, these white smoke and ice cones disappear, and a huge flame appears from the screen. The flame is so brilliant that it even dyed the whole hall red.

"Ignition succeeded!" swangeland shook his fist. "It's so beautiful!"

The three engines of the space engine are working at full speed, spraying flames downward. The solid boosters on both sides are also operating at full power. The whole of hundreds of tons is climbing upward, climbing faster and faster.

The high-speed camera is tracking, but as the space shuttle begins to climb, the space shuttle in the field of vision is getting smaller and smaller, leaving only those milky white smoke columns, which continue to spread and spread outward, forming an elevator to heaven.

The smoke column below has spread greatly, and it continues to spread. The smoke column can even cover the whole space city. "It's beautiful," swangeland said with a sigh. Although he is engaged in satellite, every rocket launch will make him feel a burst of pride. Watching the rocket take off is quite spectacular.

"Yes, this is our human cause of conquering the universe. Although it was developed in the environment of the cold war, on the whole, it belongs to all mankind," Qin Guan said.

Qin Guan's words just made the expert who refuted him smile. Yes, this belongs to all mankind. The aerospace industry of Eagle country represents the highest level of the aerospace industry of all mankind!

This is something to be proud of!

Everyone is watching the white smoke column soaring into the sky. At the same time, the orders are constantly carried out.

"The shuttle flipped."

"Note that the thrust is reduced to 95 percent!"

Because there is a thick atmosphere on the earth's surface, they are launched vertically during launch, so that they can leave the dense atmosphere as soon as possible. After leaving the atmosphere, they can turn and enter orbit.

Now, the launch took a minute.

At this time, there was a roar of joy in the space city of Eagle country. On the side of Han country, everyone was shocked by this spectacular scene. Han country is still a small child in space engineering. Eagle country and bear country have really become giants.

Suddenly, in the picture, the top of the white pillar of smoke turned into a terrible fire! The fiery red light lit up the whole screen. It was so dazzling and shining. There was a big fireball!

"Oh, my God!" the experts of Hughes company immediately shouted.

In the measurement and control hall, other employees working also raised their heads and looked at the terrible scene. The big fireball was still rising, but it quickly circled and fell from space!

Calm, dead calm, because everyone knows what this means. 73 seconds after the Challenger took off, there was an explosion. The whole space shuttle disintegrated in the sky. The seven astronauts in it also spilled blood into the sky with the explosion of the space shuttle.

They have become another victim in the aerospace industry.

"I suggest that we all observe silence for three minutes." Qin Guan's expression was still so serious.

The Challenger exploded! The news spread all over the world in an instant, because it was originally broadcast live. We can't believe it. Challenger is a brand-new space shuttle. Now it is only the tenth launch mission.

You know, when the space shuttle was designed, it was used as a reusable spacecraft. Although the cost of one-time construction was high, after many times of use, the cost could be reduced. It is a low-cost spacecraft, including the female teacher who went to heaven this time. It is also intended to open a low-cost space travel era.

However, it exploded. After taking off, it exploded and disintegrated in the eyes of countless people. Its explosion is also a huge setback in human conquest of space.
