The beginning of July.
A military base in the Eastern Theater Command.
Military vehicles drove through the camp, preparing for the upcoming exercise.
A weirdly-shaped silver-white plane was sitting in the middle of the camp, out in the open.
With two short and two long wings, as well as a large cylindrical engine, it didn't look like something that was able to fly in the air. However, its perfect success rate was able to dispel any worries.
This plane was named Starlight.
After the spacecraft was delivered to the Eastern Theater Command, the aerospace forces gave it a more domineering name.
Which was, Thunderbird.
Just like thunder, it could soar hundreds of kilometers above the sky.
This aerospaceplane could be used to transport equipment to low-Earth orbit, as well as carry ballistic missile attacks in outer space.
