Chapter 121 Shoot Down! Drag Away!
In the command hall, a group of operators also reacted.
The huge tail flame of the rocket was ignited, and the speed of the second-stage rocket began to slow down.
Only then did everyone have the chance to turn their attention back to the image coming from the camera, to the terrifying huge spaceship.
The spaceship seemed to be very flexible. It adjusted its posture slightly, and the plasma flames ejected from the two huge engines at the tail dragged the hull and slowed down its falling speed.
Inside the cockpit of the Dragon 1 spacecraft.
This spacecraft also uses the powerful computing power provided by Star Computing No. 1, and can achieve autonomous driving most of the time.
For this reason, most of the time, one driver can be responsible for the remaining series of operating instructions.
At this moment, sitting in the driving seat, the driver, wearing Daxia's new military green space suit, stared closely at the second-stage thruster of the Hunter-9 not far in front of him, which had been burned by the high temperature and turned black and gray.
Behind him, two space army members wearing the same uniform were looking at him with envy.
The pilot slowly pressed the weapon launch button. This spaceship had top-notch attitude maintenance capabilities, and was able to keep the hull facing the second-stage rocket booster during the fall.
"Target locked, two solid missiles, fire!"
He murmured something, and it was unclear whether he was speaking to the hub command center or to the two team members behind him to make them envy him.
In the sight, two slender missiles with flames bursting at the tails suddenly shot out.
"The missiles have all hit their targets, mission accomplished, and will be returning soon."
His voice was emotionless. He reached out and placed his hand on the joystick in front of him, taking back control of the car. Then he pulled it forward with force, and the push rod on his left hand was instantly pushed to the end.
The Young Dragon No. 1 stopped falling in just a few seconds. The powerful gravity suddenly made several people in the cabin see black and faint.
When they opened their eyes again, the blue atmosphere in front of them had turned into a dark cosmic background.
"10G, Captain. Next time, please give us a heads up."
"Honestly, the hull of our Young Dragon No. 1 is so strong. I have never endured such heavy pressure in my life. Didn't you hear the sound of the hull's structural stretching just now?"
The captain was amazed. The huge maneuver just performed was also experimental in nature. All these data will be saved and entered into the Xinghai supercomputer to serve as data reserve for future spacecraft design.
At the same time, the Blue Star is in synchronous orbit.
Not far from the Hunter-9 spacecraft, the silver-white Star-1, which had never been painted, slowly arrived.
Nasa Space Base Command Hall.
When the spacecraft left, the emblem of the Great Xia Space Force printed on its belly paint was seen by everyone.
Roy looked at the screen, which showed the images coming from the ground camera. The second-stage thruster in the sky had turned into a fireball and was falling rapidly.
"Sir! Something bad has happened!"
The herald ran over, his voice trembling.
"Could anything worse be happening?" Roy suppressed his anger and stared at him gloomily.
The herald did not answer, but pointed to another screen, which was showing the image from the Hunter-9 spacecraft that was slowly circling the earth.
"Star Luck Spaceship, damn, what the hell do they want to do?"
On the screen, he recognized the carrier rocket that was moving at a moderate speed at a glance.
No one answered him.
In the Xingyun spacecraft, two space soldiers smiled at each other. Then a member in charge of equipment operation pressed the button to open the hatch.
Looking from the outside, the belly of the Star Fortune spacecraft slowly opened, and a thick mechanical arm stretched out from it.
The pilot operated the spacecraft to slowly approach the Hunter-9, and finally at a distance of two meters, the two maintained their relative speed.
The claw on the top of the robotic arm slowly opened like a giant's palm, and finally landed on the bulge on the top of the Hunter-9 spacecraft.
"Fixed."
The pilot raised his finger to his teammates and then pressed the call button: "Report to the command center, the capture mission is completed, requesting to return to the hub port." "You can return."
Liu Shengzhan's voice came over.
Nasa Command.
Roy looked at this scene, and suddenly he no longer felt angry.
A chill rose from the soles of my feet.
If before this, he still felt that as long as the moon landing plan started and the United States obtained the tri-titanium alloy, it would not be difficult to surpass Daxia again and lead the world.
But now, no matter whether it is that ferocious spaceship or this relatively clumsy star spaceship.
The technologies displayed by both of them have far surpassed any aerospace technology of their country.
Desperate.
Roy waved his hand tiredly, signaling the messenger to take over the remaining matters, and walked into the office again alone.
Picking up the phone, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Just now, he vowed in front of Wells that the next series of plans would be carried out step by step.
But now?
Not only was the second-stage rocket shot down, but what was even more ridiculous was that the main building of their new space station was "dragged away" before the next batch of astronauts could go into space to start construction.
"Roy, congratulations on completing the mission successfully."
The call was connected, and Wells' voice was finally no longer as gloomy as it had been in the past few days.
"President, the mission has failed."
After saying this, Roy couldn't help but feel that his breathing and heartbeat were calmer than ever before. He then slowly spoke:
"Daxia dispatched a spacecraft capable of flying in high space and atmospheric space, which shot down our second-stage rocket booster which was in the process of being recovered over the ocean. Our already-in-orbit space station was also towed away by their space force just now because we did not implant monitoring equipment as they requested."
As his voice fell, the phone fell into an eerie silence.
"You mean, dragged away? Shot down?"
"Yes."
Wells' voice took on a tremor.
As president, she knows what this means.
Da Xia has changed from her previous passive attitude to her current active stance. Originally, she thought that she was just angry because of the space elevator incident not long ago.
She understands.
But now, their recovery rocket was shot down directly by Daxia's spacecraft in the sky.
This was the first time in decades that Daxia had actually opened fire.
Although there is no one on the recovered rocket, its significance is absolutely extraordinary.
And the fact that the space station was towed away was too unbelievable for her.
She knew that Daxia now had a space elevator and had built a space hub at the top.
However, he never expected that the other party's current aerospace level has developed to the point where they have the incredible ability to "drag away" spacecraft in outer space without any effort.
A question couldn't help but arise in her heart.
"Has the great country of America fallen so far behind?"
