Where would the energy to do this come from? In a normal turbojet almost all of the energy involved is from the heat of burning fuel, if you take energy from the fuel away to power the ionization system the heat taken out will not go towards the turbojets thrust, and per the second law of thermodynamics there is no way for the energy added by the ionization system to be more than that taken out from the burning fuel

Tianlian relay (CSNA equivalent of TDRS) launched to GTO out of Xichang on an LM-3b on Wednesday, wonder if we will get footage of the boosters hitting the ground. https://spaceflightnow.com/2022/07/13/china-launches-tianlian-data-relay-satellite/

Are there any details on this rocket available in English, ie what kind of fuel it uses, and what are the future plans for this agencies launch program?
