Chapter 140, Make an aerospace plane as a car
(Khan, there was a major mistake in the previous chapter. The area of ​​the airport was written with a 5 character, [-] square kilometers. Thank you book friends for pointing out in time, the revision has been completed.)
Longling Town Fuyun Group Space Exploration Company Space Center Aerospace Aircraft Research Institute Here, Li Fu, Yu Liang, Chen Bin, Cao Haitao, and Yang Yiping are all wearing white coats, followed by a huge team of hundreds of people. Turning around with a huge aerospace plane.

This huge aerospace plane is manufactured by the company according to the gourd painting. It is exactly the same in terms of specifications, dimensions, and internal structure, etc., but the performance is not so good. Even Li Fu dare not let it go. People go to test flights, because there are too many problems with the plasma engine when it is tested.

Not only is the thrust much lower than that of the aerospace planes manufactured by the country, but it is also very unstable. Obviously, although the same technology and materials are used, the things produced are one in the sky and one in the ground. One can go back and forth to space frequently, and the other doesn't even have the courage to test fly.

"Brother Fu, this is the aerospace plane we imitated. Although it looks similar, the inside is too different."

Shaking his head, Chen Bin introduced to Li Fu that when he participated in the research of the "Shenjian" fighter, he didn't think it was too difficult. Now when he builds everything from scratch, he realizes how difficult it is.

"It is not easy to imitate. The key now is the processing accuracy of the core engine blades, and the overall performance of the aerospace aircraft. As for other problems, some minor problems are not difficult to solve."

Yu Liang also sighed, this imitation aerospace plane, although it seems that it can't take off, but Chen Bin and others spent more than 50 billion Chinese coins to imitate it, it can be said that it was piled up with gold, and among them I also encountered an unknown number of difficulties, and it was very difficult to overcome them one by one.

"Actually, I think that even if we improve the machining accuracy and increase the yield of material processing to an acceptable level, it is still unrealistic to control the cost within 10 billion. I think we can't follow the old path. We should take a new path by ourselves, one that can greatly reduce the cost of aerospace aircraft."

Cao Haitao stroked his chin, thought carefully in his mind, and spoke slowly.

"Go on."

As soon as Li Fu heard it, he immediately became interested. Li Fu boasted to the country. As long as he let himself produce aerospace aircraft, he can sell it to the country for 10 billion Chinese dollars. If he produces it according to the current method For aerospace aircraft, this cost must not be reduced to less than 10 billion Chinese dollars.

What's more, Li Fu still wants to make money by selling short space planes in the future. According to the company's consistent principles, things worth at least 1 yuan must be sold at least a hundred times before they can be regarded as high-tech enterprises. The cost of selling the space shuttle to the country must be controlled within tens of millions of Chinese dollars, at least within 10 million Chinese dollars.

"Except for the core plasma engine, the aerospace aircraft has more than 5 parts and components alone, and the production processes are different, which is very complicated. In addition, the assembly is very complicated and consumes a lot of energy. At the same time, if the core plasma engine is counted, it will be even more complicated."

"Such a huge project, and it is very important, there can be no mistakes. If we still manufacture according to the previous production methods and methods, it will be difficult to reduce the cost, so we must adopt a new ideas and methods to design and manufacture aerospace aircraft.”

Cao Haitao carefully sorted out the words in his mind, and then spoke slowly.

"In the history of automobile development, when automobiles first appeared, they were exclusive to the rich and powerful. Ordinary people could not afford them at all. Until the Ford Model T appeared, the manufacturing cost of automobiles was greatly reduced. Even ordinary people It is also possible to afford a car, and the car gradually enters the ordinary family."

"In fact, our aerospace plane can also refer to the ideas of Ford Motor Manufacturing to redesign the aerospace plane. Don't be troubled by the previous ideas, and adopt a new modular design as boldly as possible to greatly reduce the number of aerospace planes. Only in this way can we greatly reduce the cost of aerospace aircraft."

Cao Haitao used the virtual machine on his wrist to project all the ideas in his mind. On a huge monitor, Cao Haitao tried to change the shape of the aerospace plane, removing the wings, and the shape of the aerospace plane became fatter. , thickened, looks a bit nondescript.

"This look is my initial idea. If we can remove the wings of the aerospace plane, the parts of the two wings alone can be reduced by more than 5000."

"In fact, the most important thing for aerospace aircraft in the future is to use it in space. In space, the shape design of aerospace aircraft does not need to consider air issues at all, so we can design as simple and practical as possible."

While listening to Cao Haitao's speech, everyone thought carefully about Cao Haitao's new idea of ​​aerospace aircraft.

"This Cao Haitao is still very thoughtful. His current thinking has a tendency to classify aerospace aircraft. If this aerospace aircraft continues to develop, it will be classified according to its function in the future. It can be roughly divided into two categories. One class is an aerospace plane specially used to go to and from the ground, and the other is an aerospace plane specially used in space."

"Aerospace planes that travel to and from the ground naturally still need to consider air resistance and buoyancy issues. There are relatively more issues that need to be considered during design, and it is more difficult; aerospace planes that are specially used in space can no longer be called air. The space plane should be called a spacecraft, because this type of aircraft does not need to enter the planet, so when designing it, at most three aspects are considered: space capacity, maneuverability, and thrust."

Combining the development history of future spacecraft among the seeds of super civilization in his mind, Li Fu is naturally very clear about the future development direction of aerospace aircraft. Now that he heard Cao Haitao say this, he couldn't help giving Cao Haitao a thumbs up.

"I think Cao Haitao's idea is still very correct. Our goal is to make aerospace planes like cars, which will greatly reduce the cost of aerospace planes, so that ordinary people in China can afford aerospace planes in the future. Able to drive an aerospace plane to travel freely between space and the earth.”

Li Fu praised Cao Haitao's ideas. Many things need to be clear about the thinking and direction first, so that there will be goals in the future development.

In fact, Li Fu wanted to take out the anti-gravity technology. If he used the anti-gravity technology, he didn't need to think about aerodynamics, air, or even a runway.

However, Li Fu doesn't want to bring out the anti-gravity technology too early now. His current team is still too immature. However, they should first study aerospace aircraft and practice their hands, and their company should also accumulate experience first. When they are more mature, then take out the anti-gravity technology, and then everything will come naturally.

……

Since he decided on a new idea and future development direction, Li Fu also spent every day in the aerospace research department, leading the team to start redesigning a brand new aerospace aircraft.

Li Fu also wants to manufacture aerospace planes on a large scale as soon as possible, and reduce the cost of aerospace planes to less than [-] million Chinese dollars. On the one hand, Li Fu naturally needs a large number of aerospace planes to develop his own space power, and on the other hand One aspect is to greatly promote the entry of Chinese civil forces into the space industry.

With Li Fu joining the team, all the problems are no longer a problem. The problem of material processing accuracy that has plagued the team for a long time, on the one hand, Li Fu recruited several top experts in the field of material processing through Liu Shiying to join. Another aspect is to combine the scientific and technological knowledge in the field of material processing of the super civilization Han Technology Empire.

In less than a month, the accuracy of material processing has been greatly improved. Although I dare not say that it will surpass the most advanced level in the West, at least the processing accuracy can reach the international first-class level. Of course, the more important thing is the processing yield. greatly improved.

In the past, it could be said that the yield rate was a few percent, but it was quickly changed to a scrap rate of a few percent. Not to mention, the cost of the entire aerospace aircraft was reduced to about 10 billion Chinese dollars in an instant. .

However, Li Fu and others are obviously not satisfied with this, the goal of the whole team is to design a cheaper and more reliable aerospace plane.
