The spaceplane is completed: Xuannü - 1

Xia Country.

At an air force training base.

Bai Yixuan, his face deathly pale, supported his waist and looked up at the blazing sun in the sky.

"Finally, it's over..." Hong Fan's distinctive hoarse voice came from the side. "My goodness, I never want to come to this training base again in my life!"

Hearing Hong Fan's complaint, Bai Yixuan forced a bitter smile, shook his head and said, "Don't talk about you, I don't want to see this training base either!"

Hong Fan's eyes lit up slightly. "Brother Xuan, you can't hold on either?"

"This is really a rare situation. It's the first time I've seen you admit defeat, Brother Xuan!"

Bai Yixuan gave Hong Fan an annoyed sidelong glance and said irritably, "What are you kidding?"

"I'm not a robot. Of course I can't hold up under this intensity of training!"

A clear laugh came from the side. "I think Brother Fan is right. Since I met you, I've never seen you complain about the training content, Brother Xuan!"

Bai Yixuan turned his head and looked at Xia Wanyi, who was smiling brightly behind him, with a helpless expression. "Seeing how energetic you two are, how about I contact the coach and we fly around in the sky again?"

The smiles on Xia Wanyi and Hong Fan's faces disappeared instantly.

The two of them shook their heads like rattles.

What a joke?!

Fly around in the sky again?

Thinking back to the scene when they first came to the training base a month ago, the two of them couldn't help but shiver slightly under the blazing sun!

The three of them, who had just arrived at the training base, were directly dragged onto three training planes without any theoretical foundation.

They said it was because "practice is the best teacher".

So...

The three astronauts were severely tossed around by their respective coaches.

Cobra maneuvers, Nesterov loops...

Although the three astronauts had good physical fitness, they were still badly tossed by these fancy moves.

After the "torture" on the first day, starting from the second day, the daily lives of the three astronauts were fixed on their respective training planes.

In just about a month, the cumulative flight time of the three of them even reached an astonishing 300 hours!

On average, each person had to spend a full 10 hours on the plane every day!

It could be said that in this month, except for eating and sleeping, the three of them almost spent all their time on the training plane.

"Finally, it's over..."

Xia Wanyi shook her head, trying to shake these painful memories out of her mind. Then she stretched and said softly with a sigh, "Next, we should probably go to Professor Lü's place, right?"

"I wonder if that so - called spaceplane has been built yet..."

Bai Yixuan glanced at Xia Wanyi's figure as she stretched and said irritably, "Don't be too happy too soon."

"Professor Lü said that after the training at the air force training base, we still need to do some training on the spaceplane!"

Xia Wanyi smiled sweetly, shook her capable short hair and said, "It's okay! After all, it can go into space!"

"Just thinking about this, I don't feel tired anymore!"

Looking at Xia Wanyi's bright smile, Bai Yixuan was stunned for a moment.

...

The roar of an engine came from above.

Bai Yixuan's eyes moved slightly. He looked up at the armed helicopter slowly landing in the sky and said softly to his teammates beside him, "It's time for us to go!"

...

In a factory building outside the National Space Research Institute of Xia Country.

A sleek plane with an overall jet - black color was parked quietly inside.

The plane's structure was similar to that of the US B - 2 bomber.

The biggest difference from the B - 2 bomber was that its wing size was not as exaggerated as that of the B - 2 bomber.

Thanks to its powerful power system, with a fuselage length of 30 meters, the wing length was only 25 meters.

At the tail of this spaceplane were ten pitch - black circular Hall thruster nozzles. (The description of the engine shape at the beginning of Chapter 63 has been corrected)

Lv Yongchang stood in front of the spaceplane, his eyes full of admiration.

This was the first real spaceplane in Xia Country!

It was no exaggeration to say that this spaceplane symbolized the highest level of human science and technology at this moment!

"Professor Lü, why don't you... give it a name?"

The voice of Academician Cao Liangcai came from the side, interrupting Lv Yongchang's thoughts of being immersed in it.

Lv Yongchang's eyes moved slightly, and he said without hesitation, "Let's call it Xuannü - 1."

Cao Liangcai was slightly stunned, apparently remembering the three major plans of Xia Country that Lv Yongchang had introduced some time ago.

"The Xuannü - series spaceplanes in the Nantianmen Plan?" Cao Liangcai raised his eyebrows slightly and asked softly in return. "What, you're not really going to carry out that Nantianmen Plan, are you?"

Lv Yongchang chuckled, and his deep eyes looked at Xuannü - 1 in front of him again. "Of course. Not only the Nantianmen Plan, but the Tianting Plan will also be realized in the future!"

Cao Liangcai gave Lv Yongchang a strange look.

The Tianting Plan?

That huge fleet composed of 2,500 starships?

He chuckled and slowly shook his head.

What a joke!

That kind of thing could probably only be seen in science - fiction movies!

"What? Don't believe it?" Lv Yongchang caught a glimpse of Cao Liangcai's actions from the corner of his eye, then turned his head and asked with a smile.

Cao Liangcai was at a loss for words for a moment.

Was this a matter of believing or not?

Any normal person wouldn't believe it, okay?

"How about we make a bet?"

After the completion of Xuannü - 1, Lv Yongchang became more active.

Cao Liangcai didn't hesitate at all and immediately nodded. "What are we betting on?"

Lv Yongchang couldn't help but fall into thought.

"Hehe... Professor Lü, if our Xia Country really realizes the Tianting Plan in fifteen years, I'll eat this Xuannü - 1 right on the spot!"

Looking at Lv Yongchang's serious thinking look, Cao Liangcai said cheerfully.

Lv Yongchang gave Cao Liangcai a speechless look.

Friend, you've set up such an impossible bet!

He shook his head slightly and said irritably, "Forget it. This Xuannü - 1 will be a souvenir at that time. I'm afraid you can't afford to eat it!"

"Okay, if it really comes true, you just need to invite me to a meal."

"I want to eat... the chicken - leg rice from Sandaokou University."

Cao Liangcai also looked speechless. "Professor Lü, are you serious?"

Seeing Lv Yongchang nod seriously, Cao Liangcai smiled bitterly and touched his nose. "Okay, it's a deal!"

"If it doesn't come true, you also invite me to a meal!"

Just as Lv Yongchang and Cao Liangcai were "chatting", a researcher rushed up to Lv Yongchang with a hurried look and said in a low voice, "Professor Lü, the three pilots of the spaceplane have arrived!"

Lv Yongchang's eyes lit up!

The pilots finally arrived!

"Let's go, let's go welcome the pilots. Whether this big guy can take off depends on these three people!"

Lv Yongchang called out to Cao Liangcai and turned to walk towards the factory building gate.
