These days it conducted intensive test flights, and the first aircraft, with the serial number B4043, had already obtained its official flight certification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cargo hold accommodated two missiles in a vertical and tandem arrangement, one on the back of the aircraft, and a conical fairing was added to the front. The An-1250 could carry all three 5-meter diameter rocket bodies of the New Yuan-2A in one go, while the second stage and the other two conical fairings were transported by the Il-76.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two aircraft, one super rocket—transportation complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the An-1250’s flight information was posted on the civil aviation website, a large group of photography enthusiasts camped out in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying a rocket body over 40 meters long was a trivial matter for the An-1250, which was practically hidden by the massive fuselage during ground photography, rendering it almost invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The total payload of less than 150 tons allowed the eight engines to easily lift the airplane, and then, in front of numerous cameras, perform a \"cover the sky\" scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As well as An-1250’s specialty act: ascending through the clouds, breaking into a wide open area as if it was sweeping the skies clear, leaving an astounding impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such scenes have been wildly popular on foreign networks these days. It’s not surprising that anyone who sees such a giant plane can’t help but marvel at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparing it to the Island Country’s C2, with a maximum take-off mass of only just over 100 tons, it seemed impressively miniature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this doesn’t represent the glory of Asia, what does?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On May 25th, as scheduled, Ma’s Heavy Falcon launched. This rocket could carry a maximum payload of 69 tons, but this time it only delivered a 15-ton Second Generation Dragon Spaceship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a cargo spacecraft, but it didn’t carry out any transport missions. Since it was reusable, it would drift in low Earth orbit for 10 days before coming back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Heavy Falcon separated, all three of its reusable boosters were successfully recovered, making it a perfect test launch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ground thrust of 2228 tons and a take-off mass of 1421 tons, the Heavy Falcon claimed the title of the world’s current strongest operational rocket in one fell swoop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, few media expressed congratulations, and those that did were tinged with jest. Sincere praise was rare, though they did express regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s because this title could only be maintained by the Heavy Falcon for four days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the same day, New Yuan-2A completed assembly at the second station of the Qiongzhou Space Launch Site. Due to the large range of movement during the lifting process, the assembly building was briefly opened, allowing people to clearly see the full view of the rocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the limited width of the launch pad, the New Yuan-2A was placed diagonally, but it still didn’t affect its imposing presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The New Yuan-2A had a liftoff thrust of 4,700 tons, a lift-off mass of 3,500 tons, and a payload capacity to low Earth orbit of 135 tons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This figure far surpassed that of Falcon 9, and it was the first rocket to exceed the Saturn V since its launch in November 1967, a gap of 50 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a heavy-lift rocket is defined by a LEO payload capacity of 100 tons, then America’s Saturn V had 118 tons; the Union’s N1 rocket had 95 tons, and the \"Energy\" rocket had 105 tons; New Yuan-2A topped the list with a capacity of 135 tons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the most powerful rocket ever made by humans, and even the Heavy Falcon, without recovering, would need two combined to match the New Yuan-2A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its appearance was a major victory for the CBC configuration, having created a super-heavy rocket through the combination of heavy-lift rockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a maximum width of 20 meters (including connectors and gaps), the New Yuan-2A gave a majestic feeling of touching the sky, and to deliver mass to the Moon, the three-stage structure of the New Yuan-2A reached a height of 122 meters, surpassing Saturn V’s 110 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In both visual impact and performance, the New Yuan-2A gave the world a powerful shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the truly deserving New Yuan-5A, the Island Country looked at its own H-series rockets and was too embarrassed to even mention them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was widely recognized as the super rocket capable of carrying out manned moon missions, something even the Union couldn’t achieve, but now China could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just on this point alone, as long as one identifies as Asian, one must acknowledge this is an impressive feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also at this moment that Rusia Space Agency, NACA, the space agencies, and the European Space Agency truly felt the new Moon race had begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure the New Yuan-2A brought was as immense as its size, with Director Claire barely offering a strained congratulations on the launch of the New Yuan-2A when cornered by reporters, and the rocket model was placed on her office desk to be looked at every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of such immense pressure, the team behind the \"Delay King,\" the SLS rocket, worked day and night, making every effort to complete its first launch this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after the release of this heavy news, a proposal from the space agency added fuel to the fire with an attitude of enhancing the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space agency announced a space further education system internally, as well as the first batch of five names, before then making a high-profile announcement to the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Tang Weitian was at the Tongchuan Test Stand, conducting a 500-second long-duration test firing of the YF130 prototype.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With massive investment, within a mere two months, 9 prototypes in 6 versions of the YF130 were produced, and it wasn’t until May 27 that the mass-production model was selected and two prototypes were subject to long-duration test firings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just these prototypes cost over two hundred million, something completely unimaginable in the past, but for the Dawn Project, the Sixth Academy managed to finalize the design of the YF130 at an astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While ensuring performance, Tang Weitian also increased the combustion pressure of the YF130 once more, simplifying the engine structure and increasing reliability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard about the astonishing space further education plan, his first words were, \"No way, I have to keep an eye on the YF130, and there are still YF135 and YF90 projects coming up. Where could I go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his colleagues wouldn’t hear of it—they couldn’t leave it just to Tang Weitian to decide; they wanted to reach the heavens too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tang Weitian didn’t go, it wouldn’t happen, and how would they get to go in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These colleagues even brought in Zhou Rui to do some convincing, with the higher-ups presenting a preliminary training plan, indicating that the space agency wasn’t in a position where it couldn’t operate without a particular expert, urging Tang Weitian to go with peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>",1373,"2026-06-05T18:20:54.444Z",1,"novelbin.me","20219455f62bd2b91b0013375aaee8fa251acda0972a72b7a481a642cb3b9e41","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-164","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-162",804,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-cover.jpg"]
