#232 - Is Juneyao Airlines going to lose money?

Chapter 231: Juneyao Airlines Wants to Pay Extra?

Wang Han, on his second visit to the Magic Cube Factory, was now looking at the Magic Cube Super Engineering Ship working tirelessly on the distant sea horizon with a sense of awe.

As a local private enterprise, the news that Magic Cube Group was investing in building a deep-water port radiating across southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian had already spread throughout the circles of the second generation.

The issue was that this large project was not just a PPT presentation but a real construction project.

The courage and execution alone had deeply shocked the entrepreneurs and top-tier wealthy circles of Wenzhou.

Including Wang Han, the successor of Juneyao.

He usually resided in Shanghai and occasionally returned to his hometown to visit relatives and friends.

Originally, he was the focus of attention and discussion wherever he went, but now all he heard every day was, "Magic Cube Group is expanding its recruitment again," or "Magic Cube Group has launched another big project."

Coupled with Magic Cube Motors' frequent moves in the automotive market recently, and even rumors of deep cooperation with Ruixian County to build the entire county into an international racing city.

Wang Han, whose ears were almost calloused from hearing about it, wondered if his 'audacious' father would have been as decisive and courageous as Chen Jue if he were still alive.

"To start from scratch and achieve this level in such a short period."

"This Chen Jue is much stronger than us second-generation heirs," Wang Han thought to himself.

After greeting the factory gatekeeper, he went straight into the closed shipbuilding workshop on the first floor.

But as soon as he arrived, Wang Han was shocked by that… well, that oversized cube aircraft!

With a height of 20 meters, it shone with a silver-gray metallic luster.

The strong vortex ejected from the bottom of the aircraft blew Wang Han's hair wildly, and his eyes squinted involuntarily.

The feeling was like visiting a jet plane about to take off at close range!

"It can even take off and land vertically!"

"The bottom has an embedded turbojet engine?"

"Such a large size and mass can actually be propelled? Is it equipped with a rocket engine underneath?" Wang Han opened his mouth in surprise, raising his hand to cover his face to avoid the jet turbulence while exclaiming in astonishment.

But after being blown by those air currents for only a few seconds, Wang Han realized something was wrong.

Because he didn't smell the stench of jet fuel combustion in the vortex ejected from the base of the aircraft.

He didn't even feel the high heat temperature ejected by traditional turbojet engines!

"What… what is this thing flying with!"

"Incredible! Too incredible!"

Wang Han widened his eyes and jogged all the way to Chen Jue's side.

In addition, there were dozens of Magic Cube Group engineers proficient in programming and algorithms frantically debugging the flight control system downloaded from the internet.

However, because Chen Jue had previously recruited engineers specializing in mechanical and architectural fields, it was a bit of a stretch to ask them to work on flight control systems across fields.

As a result, the cube aircraft rose several times in a crooked manner and failed to achieve good stability.

When Chen Jue saw Wang Han, a professional, arrive, he ordered the group's engineers to stop the test flight and introduced him, "It's called 'Flying Magic Cube,' and it's a new wingless electric aircraft developed by a genius in our group."

He also told Wang Han that he lacked a supporting flight control system and wanted to invite him to participate in his electric aircraft project.

Of course, the reason Chen Jue thought of this young master of Juneyao Group was that Wang Han also had a hidden identity: a top enthusiast in the model aircraft world!

Don't be fooled by his glasses and gentle appearance, his family actually owns airplanes… no, an airline, with hundreds of passenger planes in service.

From childhood to adulthood, Wang Han frequently came into contact with large aircraft of different brands and models such as Airbus and Boeing.

After returning from studying abroad, this guy even formed his own team in Shanghai to develop a flight control improvement system for the Airbus A320 serving domestic routes for Juneyao Airlines' maintenance team.

Such a top expert cannot be simply and one-sidedly evaluated with the label of 'rich second generation'.

That's why Chen Jue turned to Wang Han for help as soon as he thought of creating a supporting flight control system for the 'Flying Magic Cube'.

Because this guy really understands technology!

"Wingless?"

"Electrically driven?"

"Hiss~ You moved the power battery pack of a new energy vehicle up there? Aren't you afraid of crashing?" Wang Han listened to Chen Jue's introduction, and his heart was like a stormy sea.

As the saying goes, the layman watches the excitement, and the expert watches the details.

After just a few glances at this 'Flying Magic Cube,' Wang Han roughly guessed the composition structure of this thing.

He had seen this kind of special-shaped aircraft design, which was different from traditional airplanes, when he participated in various domestic and foreign model aircraft competitions when he was in school.

Moreover, embedded electric aero-engines are not new.

As early as the 1990s, Britain, the United States, France, and Japan launched similar projects to 'electrify fuel-powered aero-engines'.

However, due to the technological limitations of the era, most of these projects to electrify aero-engines were discontinued.

Only a very small number of laboratories and large enterprises had achievements, giving birth to improved aero-engines similar to 'hybrid electric,' which reduced some energy consumption.

After all, the biggest constraint of electric drive is that the energy density of the battery pack providing electricity cannot meet commercial requirements.

If this problem is not solved, no matter how beautiful the aero-engine and exterior design are, no matter how sci-fi they are, it's useless.

"Crash? No way! Our power battery technology team has recently made a new breakthrough and developed a brand-new graphene solid-state battery, which has several times higher battery life than the ternary lithium batteries on the market!" Chen Jue scratched his chin and started talking nonsense.

"What? Graphene solid-state battery?" Wang Han was once again shocked by this shocking news.

Since entering this Magic Cube Factory, he had been shocked several times.

So much so that he stared blankly at the 'Flying Magic Cube' in front of him for a long time.

It wasn't until he completely recovered that he begged Chen Jue to take him inside the aircraft to see it with his own eyes.

Wang Han felt that only someone like Chen Jue, who has a cutting-edge mechanical manufacturing factory with a self-contained independent system, could replicate the products in science fiction films into reality.

However, when Wang Han followed Chen Jue to the side of the 'Flying Magic Cube'.

Watching Chen Jue use a mechanical key to open the hydraulic cabin door, which was invisible to the naked eye, Wang Han's mouth still opened slightly involuntarily.

"How high does the machining accuracy have to be to hide the gap in the cabin door?"

"It seems that Boeing and Airbus can't do it!" Wang Han couldn't help but mutter to himself.

In the blink of an eye, he followed into the internal cabin of the aircraft.

From the square, oversized, and spacious crew cabin to the optimized 'Magic Cube Pioneer' engines, and those suspicious piles of graphene battery packs.

Wang Han listened to Chen Jue's patient introduction along the way, feeling that his eyes were almost not enough.

Because this seemingly simple aircraft hides technologies that are enough to change the global aviation and even aerospace landscape!

After visiting inside and out and understanding the design parameters of this 'Flying Magic Cube', Wang Han, whose heart could not be calm for a long time, finally expressed his thoughts: "Chen Jue, helping you design the flight control is no problem! My technical team in Shanghai has won many major awards at home and abroad, and has sufficient personnel and technical reserves. It won't take long to make a multi-angle vector flight control."

"The only thing that takes more time is the need to continuously optimize and adjust the flight control system during the flight process."

"And if this thing goes to the sky, you still need to get the airworthiness certificates for domestic high-altitude and low-altitude aircraft in advance, and I also have connections to help you run it."

Chen Jue heard that the other party seemed to have something to say, so he directly asked: "Then, Brother Han, what price do I have to pay for this?"

Wang Han showed a meaningful smile: "Price? You kid quietly created such an epoch-making flight product, what price do you need? I can even give you my Juneyao Airlines shares as a gift!"

"But you have to promise me that after this Flying Magic Cube is officially put into production, the first batch of 100 units must be delivered to Juneyao Airlines for operation!"
