2016, February 2, New Year’s Eve.

On this day, the whole country truly had a holiday, and that means the staff of government departments also officially had a holiday.

The shopping mall is experiencing its hottest period.

Shopping and dining!

The whole country is filled with the joy of the Spring Festival.

For the Chinese people, the Spring Festival is the real Chinese New Year, not New Year’s Day.

The atmosphere of New Year’s Day is far inferior to that of the Spring Festival.

For this year’s New Year’s Eve, various cities have prepared fireworks shows and drone light shows!

Of course, many people also choose to watch the Spring Festival Gala at home.

New Year’s Eve, ten o’clock, is the best prime time for the Spring Festival Gala.

This year’s Spring Festival Gala will be performed at 10 o’clock, and there are no singing and dancing, skits or crosstalk.

Instead, a special program was launched!
The 18 astronauts from the Tiangong space station wish a happy new year to the people of the country and all the descendants of Yan and Huang all over the world!

Even astronauts from other countries were happy to join in the New Year greetings.

The Tiangong Space Station is now very large, with multiple cabins and 18 hibernation areas, allowing it to stay in orbit for 18 days.

In addition to the Chinese astronauts, there are also five astronauts from other friendly countries.

Astronauts from these friendly countries have been receiving training in China for a long time.

If they had not cooperated with China in the field of aerospace, it would have been impossible for their country to carry out manned space flight with its aerospace capabilities.

The Tiangong New Year Greetings special program lasts for 5 minutes. In addition to the astronauts greeting each other together, it also shows the astronauts’ rich New Year’s Eve dinner in the Tiangong space station.

Of course, Liu Yingqing and Wang Yaping will also introduce the Tiangong Space Station to everyone.

The Tiangong space station is now very large and advanced.

At the Tiangong Space Station, you can see that everything is neat, tidy and bright, giving people a neat, bright, sci-fi, high-end and atmospheric feeling, unlike the cluttered International Space Station.

This time, the special New Year greetings program in Tiangong really gave everyone a surprise.

And just when everyone thought that the New Year greetings from the Heavenly Palace was the biggest surprise of the night, when the score was 0:0, everyone realized that there was another huge surprise waiting for everyone.

Sa Beining appeared in everyone’s sight, and even Sa Beining seemed very confused.

Because he also didn’t know what the last Spring Festival Gala program would be.

He was even notified to come to Guifei Group at short notice!
This was not the first time that Sa Beining came to Guifei Group. He knew very well what Guifei Group represented.

A large number of China’s military aircraft are produced here.

This is a real forbidden area, you can’t walk around here.

And when Sa Beining pushed open the door, it was a huge assembly plant.

[Off-line ceremony of the ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft] The huge festive red banner finally kicked off the last Spring Festival Gala special program – Laurel New Year Greetings!
One by one, the heavyweight leaders made everyone realize that this was an extraordinary event.

The ceremony was presided over by Academician Yang Wei, general manager and party secretary of Southwest Aerospace Corporation, deputy general manager and party member of Panshan Group, and chief designer of the J-20 fighter.

When the leader delivered his speech, he highly praised the great significance of the “Laurel” aerospace strategic transport aircraft to China and the human beings on earth.

“From the ‘Panshan’ aerospace plane to the ‘Yuegui’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft, this is the crystallization of China’s scientific and technological wisdom, representing the highest level of China’s industry and also representing China’s entry into the space age.”

“In less than 1949 years since the founding of the Republic in 70, we have simultaneously experienced the first industrial revolution, the steam revolution, the second industrial revolution, the electrical revolution, the third industrial revolution, the information revolution, and now we are ushering in the fourth industrial revolution, and in the fourth industrial revolution we are ushering in the space age.”

“Had we missed the first industrial revolution, the Chinese nation would have fallen from the top of the world and gradually degenerated into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Had we missed the second industrial revolution, the Chinese nation would have faced the desperate situation of national destruction and annihilation. Thanks to the efforts of generations of people with lofty ideals to save the nation, the Republic was established, and the Chinese nation stood up from then on. Fortunately, we seized the third and fourth industrial revolutions.”

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Space Age!
It seems like we have really entered a new era!
When the button was pressed, the curtain opened, and the huge “Laurel” aerospace strategic transport aircraft appeared in everyone’s sight. The impact was very strong.

The engineers and leaders of the Laurel aerospace strategic transport aircraft wish a happy new year to the people of the country and the descendants of Yan and Huang all over the world.

Ever since the start of the Yuegui New Year’s Eve Gala special, even those watching movies in cinemas have switched their screens to the Yuegui New Year’s Eve Gala special.

Even though some people were angry and furious at the beginning, when Sa Beining pushed open the door and the leaders appeared, all the anger and fury disappeared.

The huge “Laurel” aerospace strategic transport aircraft gave everyone an even stronger sense of impact.

The entire ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft is very large and full of science fiction, as if it should not be a product of this era.

As the leaders boarded the “Laurel” aerospace strategic transport aircraft, the cockpit was even more sci-fi, high-end and grand!
The leaders took a look at the astronaut rest area and then entered the cargo hold. The huge cargo hold was even more incredible.

The cargo hold has a load capacity of 300 tons and the top of the fuselage has a load capacity of 400 tons.

This means that if the Laurel aerospace strategic transport aircraft is only used for intra-atmospheric transportation, it can carry 700 tons of materials at a time.

The ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft can carry 12 latest-model main battle tanks, 35 infantry fighting vehicles, or 5600 lightly armed soldiers at a time.

This is the largest aircraft ever built by humans in the world!

Even the An-225 pales in comparison.

Not to mention, the ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft can travel back and forth between the ground and space!
No one knows when China started developing the ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft, but today, the ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft rolled off the production line.

The roll-off ceremony of the Laurel strategic aerospace transport aircraft spread rapidly throughout the world at an extremely terrifying speed.

Politicians from all over the world were informed of this matter at the first opportunity, and then watched the Spring Festival Gala live.

Everyone who saw the Laurel aerospace strategic transport aircraft was shocked.

Even feel scared.

The ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft is too huge and looks too advanced.

Is this really something humans can create?

Has China’s industrial level developed to this point?
Has China really entered the fourth industrial revolution?
Is China really going to enter the space age?

The Chinese people and the descendants of Yan and Huang all over the world were extremely excited and proud that their motherland had built the “Laurel” aerospace strategic transport aircraft. Everyone walked with their backs straightened and their heads slightly raised.

And some people feel scared.

It was a fear that came from the heart, even the soul. Especially since the Laurel aerospace strategic transport aircraft had just been assembled and was about to make its first test flight.

This time, it is an unmanned test flight!
Liu Tao created an artificial intelligence called ‘Laurel’ on the ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft, which controlled the entire first test flight.

Under the gaze of everyone, the Laurel aerospace strategic transport aircraft slowly drove out of the final assembly plant, moved along the set track, and then came to the open space in front of the final assembly plant.

“Boom~~”

The huge roar of the engine makes people feel that their souls are trembling.

The huge fuselage, under the power of the vertical engine, slowly left the ground.

It is conceivable how terrifying the thrust of these engines is.

The Laurel aerospace strategic transport aircraft rose higher and higher from the ground, then raised its nose and began to accelerate for takeoff.

At this moment, countries all over the world issued orders to their national observation stations to observe the “Laurel” aerospace strategic transport aircraft.

Reconnaissance satellites in space are also observing the Laurel aerospace strategic transport aircraft.

Finally, the Laurel aerospace strategic transport aircraft disappeared from everyone’s sight.

But viewers in front of the TV can still see the “Laurel” aerospace strategic transport aircraft.

Because the “Panshan” aerospace plane is accompanying the “Yuegui” aerospace strategic transport aircraft.

Although the ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft has more engines and more controlled nuclear fusion devices, its speed and flexibility are not as good as the ‘Panshan’ aerospace transport aircraft due to its weight.

It is easy for the ‘Panshan’ aerospace transport aircraft to accompany the ‘Yuegui’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft.

In the past, it took about 5 to 50 minutes for a launch vehicle to reach orbit.

Different launch vehicles have different orbit entry times.

The aerospace plane takes a much longer time, but as time goes by, it will continue to accelerate, and its speed will become faster and faster, eventually exceeding the speed of traditional rockets, and then the speed gap between them will continue to widen.

This is the advantage of electric propulsion!
It may not be so fast or so fierce at the beginning, but it has strong staying power.

For example, now, if the Panshan rocket goes from the earth to the moon without sparing fuel, then its speed will be faster than that of a super-heavy rocket!
And in terms of transport from space to the earth’s surface, the advantages are even greater.

The reusability feature is something that launch vehicles cannot compare to.

This was a sleepless night for the whole world.

Everyone was watching the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala special program, watching the huge “Laurel” aerospace strategic transport aircraft rise higher and higher.

The speed of the ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft was also constantly increasing. Finally, with continuous acceleration, the speed of the ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft finally reached the first cosmic speed of the earth, which is 7.9km/s, almost 23 times the speed of sound.

The first cosmic velocity of the Earth is about 7.9km/s. As long as the speed reaches this number, it can orbit the Earth in a circle without falling or flying away from the Earth. Once the speed reaches the second cosmic velocity of the Earth, which is 11.2km/s, the aircraft can overcome the Earth’s gravity and escape the Earth’s gravitational field. If it can reach the third cosmic velocity of the Earth, which is 16.7km/s, the aircraft can get rid of the sun’s gravity without subsequent acceleration, leaving the solar system and entering the vast universe.

The ‘Laurel’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft, accompanied by the ‘Panshan’ aerospace strategic transport aircraft, entered the space and began to orbit the earth in a circle.

At this point, anyone who knows something about aerospace will know that the first test flight of the “Laurel” aerospace strategic transport aircraft was successful.

Space missions are often more difficult in space but easier on the ground.

This is especially true for aerospace planes!
That night was also a sleepless night for Liu Tao.

After the party group meeting of Panshan Group ended, he has been in Guifei Group.

Even though he had full confidence in the Laurel spacecraft, as long as it failed to make a successful round trip, there would be variables.

To be honest, doing a global live broadcast like this is a huge adventure.

Of course, as the saying goes, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!
Big risks also mean big rewards!
This time, the ‘Laurel’ spacecraft caused a huge storm in the world.

This huge storm can rip many countries apart.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the Chinese people and overseas Chinese all over the world were happily celebrating the New Year, an unexpected news came.

South Africa, located at the southernmost tip of Africa and known as the ‘Rainbow Nation’, has seen turmoil.

The refugee problem, tribal problem, and party conflict problem all seemed to erupt at once at this moment.

There are even mercenaries causing trouble.

Ever since South Africa sided with the United States, it has had a relatively positive image in the American media, as if South Africa had suddenly become a model of civilization, democracy and freedom in Africa.

But this cannot cover up South Africa’s internal problems.

“Alas, this is a turbulent time!” Liu Tao sighed softly after reading the news.

The various tribes in South Africa possess considerable power and even have their own tribal armed forces.

In recent years, these tribes have been strengthening their armaments and purchasing arms.

The various political forces in South Africa are also constantly trying to win over troops or form their own party armed forces.

But South Africa is very unique. It has three capitals: Tshwane, Bloemfontein and Cape Town!

The administrative capital is Tshwane, the legislative capital is Cape Town and the judicial capital is Bloemfontein.

Once there are too many capitals, their power will be dispersed and they will not be able to form a combined force.

Not only that, Türkiye, which had just ceased fire for a short time, once again dispatched its air force to bomb the Kurdish army.

Türkiye’s advantages now lie in its air force and navy.

The Kurdish air force appears to be very weak, and it has no navy at all.

The Kurdish army, with its advantageous geographical location and bravery, has repeatedly repelled the Turkish army’s attacks. This has made Türkiye look a little embarrassed and humiliated, and it has lost face in the international arena and cannot hold its head up.

Since the outbreak of the Turkic-Kurdish War, Turkey’s international status has continued to decline. Türkiye, which had been ranked among the top ten military powers in the world many times before, has never been ranked among the top ten military powers in the world again, and Türkiye’s military strength has been questioned.

Moreover, because of the Turkic-Kurdish war, Turkey’s geopolitical advantages have been greatly weakened.

By land, it is no longer possible to enter Europe from Asia through Türkiye; it has been cut off.

Israel, which had originally planned to launch a new round of military operations, quietly canceled its combat plan on this day.

The biggest news in the world on this day was the “Laurel” aerospace strategic transport aircraft!
no way!
This is the influence of strategic equipment. The whole world is paying close attention to every move. (End of this chapter)
