Chapter 561 The Outside World Is Vigilant: What Big Move Is the Xinghai Group Doing? !

April 20, 2017

Xinghai Group's announcement of recruiting astronauts was made public within the company, causing a stir among employees.

It was the HR department of the group that issued the announcement, and it also stamped the official seal, so there is no doubt about it.

The requirements are relatively strict, non-only child, no major disease or serious physical injury, appropriate height to weight ratio, able to withstand long-term aerospace environment, age 20+, good physical and psychological quality, engineering-related professional background, good Mandarin And oral English ability, bachelor degree + and so on.

Each item can eliminate most of the personnel, and finally they have to go through a series of physical fitness tests and psychological assessments. It is not easy to meet the requirements, and it is more difficult than recruiting pilots. After all, there is an extra bachelor's degree.

However, the employees of the Xinghai Group, except for the workers, are basically undergraduates.

The initial number of recruits is 20, and the final number of recruits is based on the training and assessment situation. After the final selection after the training, if they are not hired, they will return to their original positions.

In terms of remuneration, if the training tasks are completed and formal astronauts are hired, it will be implemented according to the group M2, and the annual income will be hundreds of thousands of yuan, and a company vehicle Hummer EV02 will be rewarded;

Complete the manned mission and reward a set of large flat-storey houses of the company.

Every time you complete a task, there are different rewards.

But if there is an accident, such as sacrifice, 10 million yuan will be responsible for the education expenses of their children and the pension of their parents.

The rewards are very generous. This recruitment is the first public recruitment of astronauts in Xinghai Group's history, and it is also an important step in the development of the company's aerospace industry.

The announcement aroused widespread concern and heated discussions among employees in the company, and many young employees who aspired to become astronauts signed up to participate.

The news quickly spread to the company, and it also aroused widespread attention and heated discussions on social media. Many netizens expressed their support and concern for Xinghai Group's aerospace business, hoping to recruit from the outside world.

If he can be hired, he only needs to become an employee of Xinghai Group.

However, some people questioned that the conditions for recruiting pilots are too harsh, which may limit the scope of talents.

The personnel department of Xinghai Group stated that this is to ensure the safe and smooth completion of space missions, and it is also a requirement for personal physical fitness and ability.

It is reported that the process of recruiting astronauts will go through layers of screening and assessment, and finally select suitable personnel to participate in manned space missions.

Three days later, a total of 306 people from the company participated in the registration. After all, there are not many people who feel that they are qualified.

After initial screening, only 105 people were eligible;

After conducting physical fitness tests and psychological tests, most of the people were eliminated, leaving only 25 people.

And these 25 people are not counted as formal employment, not even the reserve astronauts, and they have to go through a week of training and study, and then go through the final screening. It is estimated that 10 people can stay for real training.

In the end, it is estimated that less than five people can become qualified astronauts.

After Mu Yang knew about the company’s employee registration status, he told the personnel department that a large number of astronauts would be needed in the future, and the first batch would need 50 people. The company alone could not do it, and it was possible to openly select astronauts from senior students and graduate students in various colleges and universities. member.

As long as they enter the final selection and become reserve astronauts, they can enter the employee system of Xinghai Group. Even if they are finally selected, they can still work in other departments of Xinghai Group.

If you become a qualified astronaut, you can enjoy the company's regular astronaut treatment.

However, it is not easy to become a qualified astronaut. More than two years of professional training and accumulation of practical experience are required.

During this period, they need to receive professional knowledge training in physical fitness training, aircraft systems, scientific experiments and aerospace skills, as well as long-term practical training in space environment adaptation, gravity adaptation and emergency response.

After completing all training tasks, an astronaut can truly become a qualified astronaut, able to carry out various tasks independently in the space environment, and at the same time, be able to conduct various scientific experiments and technical research on the ground.

Currently, Xinghai Group is building a space training base that can accommodate at least 500 people to train at the same time, covering an area of ​​500 mu.

Xinghai Group will build travel hotels in space and on the moon in the future. Before customers travel to space or the moon, they will have to train at the space training base for a period of time.

There are so many wealthy people in the world, Xinghai Group has finally reached out to these people's pockets.

As long as space travel is safe, convenient and affordable, there will be a huge market.

After Xinghai Group released the news of selecting astronauts from colleges and universities, it caused a sensation in colleges and universities.

In the past, there was no opportunity or way for ordinary people to participate in the selection of astronauts, but now there is this opportunity, and the salary is generous.

Xinghai Group is known as the company that graduates most want to enter, but it is very difficult to become an employee of Xinghai Group, but as long as they pass the reserve selection, they can become full-time employees of Xinghai Group. Students who feel that they meet the requirements can sign up on Xinghai Group's official website Participate in selection.

After registration, the Xinghai Group will send personnel from the personnel department to each city to conduct the first round of selection work, screening out students who do not meet the qualifications such as major, height, and education.

There is no requirement for registration, so some students come here blindly, and even falsely report their height and weight a lot, concealing their own conditions.

At the same time, the selection requirements for astronauts of Xinghai Group were also discussed.

"Why only recruit aerospace, physics, mathematics, computer science and other related majors? Isn't liberal arts not enough?"

"It also requires good language skills, which is really a lot."

"Becoming a qualified astronaut is not so easy. If the expression is not clear, can the ground personnel hear it clearly?

If it is not a related major and it is difficult to train, then it is necessary to maintain space equipment;

Can't speak English, if Xinghai Group opens space travel, how to communicate with foreign customers? "

"If you say that, it's understandable to be demanding."

"Everyone wants to be a regular employee of the Xinghai Group. It's so good to be a formal astronaut, and there are garages."

...

Just one day later, Xinghai Group announced to invest 5 billion yuan to build an international space training center, which will have the most advanced training equipment in the world.

After domestic training, domestic astronauts will also go to foreign space centers for training.

If the Xinghai Group builds a space training center, domestic astronauts will not have to go to foreigners' space training centers for training in the future.

After the announcement of this news, more young people's enthusiasm and interest in the aerospace industry were aroused, and more students signed up for the selection.

Mu Yang, who is in focus, has now formed a technical team called the East Water Transfer Project Team, and has begun to develop a magnetic desalter.

At the same time, Mu Yang also assisted in the development of intelligent robot factory assistants and home assistants, and at the same time supervised the progress of other technical projects. During this period of time, he was very busy, so he didn't care about these outside public opinions.

A few days later, Song Xuelu had injected Life No. 1 for more than two weeks, and the effect was obvious.

Then, Mu Yang injected the third Life No. 1, and Song Xuelu injected the second Life No. 1.

In a few days, May Day is coming soon, Mu Yang sent someone to pick up his grandparents, father-in-law and mother-in-law from his hometown, saying that he had something important to tell them.

Zhang Ping, the mother-in-law, has resigned from her job as a teacher at the school to oversee the business in Mu Yang's hometown.

Father-in-law Song Jian has already become a deputy county, and the higher-ups wanted to add more burdens to him, but he refused, saying that he wanted to retire after working for a year or two.

From Song Jian's point of view, being able to become the deputy county is because he is the face of Muyang's father-in-law, and he feels that he has no official addiction, and wants to go out more with his wife to see the landscape of Zu Dajiang.

The two families were reunited in the villa, and Mu Yang and Song Xuelu found an excuse to inject their family with Life No. 1, saying that it was a cosmetic injection developed by the company, which had a certain anti-aging effect.

The family trusts Mu Yang, even if they have some doubts, they let the young couple toss.

After the injection, the oldest grandparents felt healthier and their eyes glowed.

In the next seven days, the family members felt that their physical condition had improved, especially the grandparents, their wrinkles were significantly reduced, and their mental state was more full.

Other family members also felt some changes in their bodies. They were amazed by the medicine Mu Yang injected into them. It should not only have the effect of beauty injections, so they asked a few more questions out of curiosity.

Mu Yang knew that he couldn't hide the effect of Life No. 1, and he was afraid that his family would show it off to outsiders, so he agreed to ask others if he still had beauty injections, which would be embarrassing.

So, I just solemnly confessed to my family:

"Currently Life No. 1 is in the top-secret stage, and the research and development costs are expensive. I can say that it is more important than the Xinghai Group. It is the foundation of our family. I hope the family members will keep it secret.

When others see the change in your appearance, they may ask why, and they just say that life has improved. Whether others believe it or not is their own business.

Once it is said that it is a beauty injection or something else, I will try my best to get it, but I can't give it.

Grandparents will live here for more than half a year, and after four injections, if the father-in-law and mother-in-law have something to do, they will go back to work temporarily and come back for injections every other month. "

Mu Yang was worried that his family would not know the importance of Life No. 1, and he emphasized: "If the outside world knows that we have this medicine, there will probably be chaos.

For other relatives, I have my own arrangements. "

Seeing what Mu Yang said, the family members nodded seriously.

"Ayang, let me ask one more question, how do your uncle and aunt make arrangements?" Mu Lin glanced at the old mother's hesitant expression, and knew that she still cared about his youngest son and daughter, so he asked more questions. Down.

"Let's talk about it in a few years. I have my own arrangements for other immediate relatives. There is no quota for other immediate relatives." Mu Yang replied that the development cost of Life No. 1 is not expensive, but it does not mean that he can use it extensively.

There are too many relatives, Mu Yang simply cut off their idea.

Whether to give it or not at that time depends on the situation.

When grandma heard her grandson say that, she stopped mentioning it.

"Well then, you decide for yourself."

"I thought it was an ordinary potion, but I didn't expect the effect to be so great. The white hair on my head has decreased a lot, the wrinkles on my face have decreased, and my body feels better. This directly cures the root cause. This Life No. Longevity elixir, even the Yellow Emperor would think about it, and it is the same in modern times.

Ayang's concern is right, we must keep it strictly confidential, otherwise it will bring trouble and disaster to the family. "Song Jian saw it clearly and expressed his position directly.

"Well, so to speak, I'd better stay at home during this time, lest my face change too much, and it's difficult for acquaintances to ask me to explain."

"That's fine."

After Mu Yang knew that his family members understood, he was relieved to settle the matter of using Life No. 1 by his family members.

two days later,

Good news came from the engine project team that the XH-AN05-02J engine has been assembled and is currently undergoing inspection.

After passing the inspection, it will be sent to the test workshop for ignition test.

Mu Yang was very happy to hear the news, and went to the laboratory to see them test when he was free.

If the XH-AN05-02J engine is successfully developed, it will solve the heart problem of ground effectors and aerospace aircraft.

In the next period of time, Mu Yang will pay close attention to the progress of the engine project, cooperate closely with the team, and actively solve the problems encountered.

On May 10, the XH-AN05-02J engine passed the inspection and was transported to the test workshop of the headquarters base.

On May 15th, the ignition test.

The XH-AN05-02J engine is much larger than the XH-AN05-01J engine, weighing 6.67 tons.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Mu Yang came to the engine ignition test workshop.

Han Li and hundreds of people in the project team were waiting for the chairman's arrival, and everyone was looking forward to the success of the ignition test of the extra-large engine.

Success or failure, just today.

"Manager Han, is the inspection finished?"

Mu Yang came to the scene, scanned the hundreds of employees with expectant faces, saw Han Li, and nodded to him.

Han Li took two steps forward and came in front of the chairman, and said respectfully, "Chairman, the inspection is complete, and you can start the ignition test at any time, please ask the chairman to check and accept."

His tone was three points excited, seven points tense, and the pressure was very high, which was very exciting with the first ignition test of the XH-AN05-01J engine.

After the XH-AN05-01J engine is turned on with 50% afterburner, the thrust is only more than 20 tons.

Now this big guy, after 50% afterburner, has to reach 100 tons of thrust.

If the afterburner is not turned on, the full power will reach 66 tons of thrust.

Mu Yang nodded, and walked into the ignition room with Han Li to check the afterburner system, electronic system, vector system, etc. together.

Half an hour later, after finding no problems, he walked out of the workshop.

"Let's start the ignition test."

Han Li heard the chairman's order, his expression was solemn, and he shouted to the experimenters:

"Check Site 1!"

"Report, site No. 1 is safe and can be tested."

"start testing!"

"Ignition started! Vector horizontal angle, 10% power operation."

"Report, normal operation without exception."

Han Li nodded: "Record the data, gradually increase the power!"

As time progresses, the power will soon reach 100%, and the tester will report the data.

"Report, thrust 675KN, normal operation!"

At this time, the full power thrust without extra force has reached 68 tons, and the converted thrust-to-weight ratio is 10.2!

10.2!

All the staff on site were very excited to achieve this data without any additional effort.

After maintaining it for ten minutes, start afterburner.

The tail of the vector nozzle sprayed out red and yellow tail flames, and the noise on the scene increased, even through the soundproof glass, Mu Yang and the staff could hear it.

Han Li was a little nervous, and trotted to report to Mu Yang: "Chairman, after this big guy increases his strength, his voice will be much louder than 01J's. I guess we can't hide it anymore. Do you want to stop the experiment?"

Mu Yang frowned, just thought for a while, and then decisively ordered: "Continue the experiment, the Wyvern ground effect aircraft test cannot be concealed, and this engine will be exposed sooner or later."

There are noise reduction measures in the laboratory, but the engine is too big.

Next, the experiment continued.

However, when the afterburner reached 40%, it only lasted for 5 seconds, the cylinder was overheated, the temperature alarmed, and the flame was automatically turned off.

Han Li sighed: "Chairman, it still failed."

Mu Yang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It has exceeded my expectations to be able to successfully ignite the fire once. Check the reason and report to me."

"OK."

Mu Yang looked at the test data, especially the fuel consumption. When the boost is 30%, the fuel consumption per minute reaches a terrifying 1 ton.

Fortunately, it is acceptable.

The fuel consumption of 01J at 50% afterburner is also very large, which is about 400 kilograms per minute. It is indeed acceptable to convert it.

But considering that the Flying Dragon ground effect aircraft needs a total of 4 02J afterburning turbofan engines, this kind of afterburning situation can burn 4 tons of oil per minute,

If it is driven to 50% afterburner, it is estimated that 8 tons of oil will be needed per minute.

The full fuel tank of the Flying Dragon ground effect aircraft is 100 tons, so with 50% afterburner, plus the fuel consumption of 4 lift fans, it can only burn for about ten minutes.

However, the fuel consumption is not high under normal cruising conditions, and the design can cruise 8,000 kilometers under full fuel conditions and ground effect conditions.

Normal high-altitude flight of five or six thousand kilometers is not a problem, and the fuel cost per kilometer is close to one hundred yuan.

Having achieved this effect, Mu Yang was already very satisfied.

After Mu Yang left the laboratory, what he didn't know was that during the engine test just now, when the afterburner reached 30%, many employees of the company heard bursts of roaring, which also attracted the attention of the spies stationed outside the headquarters base.

They were all wondering: what big move is Xinghai Group doing? !
