I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"

The primary school students wearing bright blush were separated into two rows, showing strange smiles while holding flowers and jumping up and down. Crown Prince Hamand used the escalator with one hand and greeted the welcoming crowd with the other hand.

It was obviously a sunny day, but he didn't know why he always felt a little cold on his back, as if he had stepped into some dangerous area.

But Hamand turned around and put this thought behind him. With his identity here and being in the safest country in the world, how could he be in danger?

Sitting in the Hongqi car he just bought and flown from the capital, Crown Prince Hamand also began to think about what Xinyuan Aerospace was like.

Even though the big dog owners look like nouveau riche, they also clearly realize that they are fat sheep. They "willingly" buy tens or hundreds of billions of U.S. bonds every year, and they have to smile and say that they have made money.

And didn’t those idiots say that oil is limited? When the time comes, there will be thousands of princes in the royal family. How will the livelihood of the whole family be arranged?

So on the one hand, big business owners are vigorously developing the tourism industry, and at the same time, they are investing in high technology everywhere. They are not afraid of losses. Isn't it just a matter of reduced crude oil production and rising prices?

Although Xinyuan Aerospace has only become famous recently, its capabilities are already leading the way, and it is also in the high-end aerospace field. Hammand is of course interested.

However, under the arrangement of the local government, he first visited Xinyuan City's historical relics, red scenic spots, and experienced the unique cultural customs, and then finally arranged to go to Xinyuan Company.

On October 26, a long convoy of Coasters and jet-black cars slowly arrived at the gate of Xinyuan Aerospace Power Company, the former Xinyuan Town Tractor Factory, with traffic police cavalry leading the way and police cars escorting them first.

Then the leader was dumbfounded.

There were no red carpets and flower baskets as expected, no welcoming slogans and banners, and no warm applause from employees forming a neat square formation.

There were only Lin Ju and a few senior executives who didn't care about technology, and people from the publicity department to act as a facade, and they were all in suits and ties, showing aloofness in their composure.

The accompanying leader cursed in his heart. It was agreed upon 10 days ago, and Lin Ju agreed with all his heart, but in the end, he is still building his image during this battle?

"Your Royal Highness, it may be working time now. Xinyuan Aerospace is very busy at work, and our schedules may have some conflicts."

"Nonono, Wang, this is good. I don't need them to welcome me. I just want to see the most advanced private aerospace companies in China. They are proud of their strength."

Crown Prince Hamand didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, but rather found it a bit novel.

He had visited several scientific research units before, and the people there seemed to put aside their work to receive him. Instead, he could not see the specific job he wanted. It was as if he just went to a high-tech park and gained nothing.

He saw Lin Ju at the front who was smiling but still polite. When he was approaching, he walked up to shake hands.

"Welcome, Crown Prince Hamand."

"I'm also very happy to see you, the youngest leader of China's most advanced aerospace company. I hope my arrival will not disturb your work."

Listening to the translation, Lin Ju adjusted his expression and showed a little pride:

"Of course not, because I am not a scientist. They all have very busy things to do and are still working hard."

Lin Ju did not say any more pleasantries, but made a gesture of invitation and took Crown Prince Hamand directly to the assembly workshop and hangar.

Just from the outside, the nearly 50-meter tall and white hangar is very shocking. There is also a huge simple LOGO of the spaceship painted in the center.

Huber stepped forward and signaled everyone to keep a distance from the forty-meter-high gate, then took out his walkie-talkie and whispered a few words.

"Crown Prince Hamand, we are very happy for your arrival, so I decided to show you the most advanced confidential project being developed by Xinyuan Aerospace."

"Keep it secret?"

Looking at Lin Juhamand, who looked mysterious, he was even more curious, and even the city leaders accompanying him couldn't help but look into the door.

"Hang, Kang..."

The huge and heavy assembly hangar door moved slowly with the sound of gears hitting, and the movement made the ground shake regularly.

It is like a grand accompaniment when the scroll is unrolled, mechanically touching people's hearts.

The crack in the center of the hangar slowly widened, gradually revealing the scene inside.

Crown Prince Hamand slowly opened his mouth and chanted in his native language: "God bless."

The rest of the escorts had their eyes wide open and could fit eggs in their mouths.

"This, this... a space shuttle?!"

In the huge hangar, two silver-white space shuttles, one large and one small, were half-suspended in the air. They were covered with climbing frames and machinery. Hundreds of workers were working everywhere, and the bright The welding sparks flickered like stars.

Lin Ju strode forward and turned around, raising his hands flat:

"On my left is the H1 small space shuttle, which is 13 meters in length, has a wingspan of about 5.5 meters and has a take-off weight of 21 tons. It can carry 6 people and 2 tons of cargo. It adopts a central lifting body and wing body fusion design.

The one on the right is the H2 large aerospace aircraft, with a length of 61 meters, a wingspan of 22 meters, and a take-off weight of 130 tons. It is divided into two types: passenger and cargo.

The former can carry 50 people, and the latter can carry 4 astronauts and 85 tons of cargo! "

Crown Prince Hamand took a few steps forward excitedly, standing under the raised nose of the H2 space shuttle, and saw the black heat insulation layer at the bottom and the light blue portholes.

At the opening below the nose of the machine, several workers driving electric engineering vehicles were installing the landing gear. Densely packed wires that were thicker than a human being were bundled together and hung down. Engineers wearing white hats and gray overalls connected them to the computer, constantly Debugging something.

"Hey, can't cross the line!"

A worker shouted to him and then hurried past.

Hamand couldn't understand Chinese, but he saw the yellow line on the ground and immediately understood that it was a work area, and they were busy working inside. Entering by himself would definitely disrupt their work flow.

Just in time to see Lin Ju, who was holding the gate on his back to block the light, walking slowly over, Hamand asked excitedly:

"Lin, are you building a space shuttle? Can they fly?"

"Of course, the H2 model is still a 1:1 ground prototype for testing electrical pipeline layout and seismic resistance testing. The next phase of manufacturing will have flight capabilities, and the progress is still relatively slow. It will take two years to fly for the first time.

However, the H1 model has entered the aerodynamic testing stage. It is a prototype that can actually fly and is very close to the final goal. It will be rolled off the assembly line in the first half of next year at the earliest, and will be mounted on a rocket and launched into space.

Among them, H2 will be the largest space shuttle ever built by mankind, and H1 is the most advanced in aerodynamic technology. "

As Lin Ju spoke, he signaled to Hamand without waiting for the translator to complete the translation, and led him towards the direction of the H1 space shuttle. At the same time, three system engineers walked towards him.

The three of them introduced themselves one by one. Hamand heard that they were senior designers from Aramco, Lucia and the European Space Agency, and suddenly felt that the technical level here had reached another level.

Together, they led Hamand to put on shoe covers and entered the interior of the H1 space shuttle from the exposed cargo bay.
