Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty: Goddess
The aerospace plane displayed in the hangar of the Flying Ant Space Center has a net height of 6.8 meters. With the landing gear and wheels, it is nearly 10 meters high, with a wingspan of 70.3 meters, a length of 34 meters, and an empty weight of 75 tons. It is expected to be the largest. Take-off weight is more than 230 tons.
The fuselage and the wing are integrated. If you look from the bottom, you can see the huge bottom of the fuselage, there are 4 large ion engines, there are two ion engines at the tail, 6 landing gear and 24 wheels.
The design of the aircraft is very sci-fi. The painting is dark gray with a metallic texture, like a Kunpeng spreading its wings.
The painting on the wing, in addition to the flag of China, also has the logo of the Army Ant Group, which is very conspicuous.
This plane, just to manufacture, cost nearly 20 billion Chinese coins, this gold swallowing beast is not an ordinary terror.
Some of the assistants in the hangar were more excited than ever.
Even though they had seen such a huge plane many times, they couldn't help being excited this time it was completed.
"finished?"
Zhao Min rushed to the hangar of the space center and sighed a little when he saw the brand-new behemoth in front of him.
This is almost the pinnacle of the industry in the world, completed by their company. This means that their company already has the world's most advanced industrial systems, far beyond this era.
"It's done, you contact the officials of Binhai City and are ready to test the flight. On the military side, I will contact Li Chengzhi." Chen Mo said.
The test flight of this behemoth is not like a battle armor, and this is a space center. The test flight must be completed with complete procedures, and it must be registered with the official. This is a test flight, not a joke.
"As for the operation of the aerospace plane, I asked the team to do preliminary planning."
Zhao Min handed the information to Chen Mo.
"The profit model of the space center includes space tourism, manned spaceflight, satellite launch, space transportation, space exploration, etc. If it is finalized, I will now recruit trainers in charge of space passengers around the world. The space plane is mature and acceptable. Sign up for space travel around the world.”
The aerospace aircraft project has invested hundreds of billions of dollars, and it must not be maintained at a loss by relying on the marching ant group to continue to spend money.
As a company, making money is the goal.
So the last time Chen Mo asked her to think about the profit model of aerospace aircraft,
She asked the company's planning team to start planning the profit model of the aerospace plane.
"pretty good."
Chen Mo scanned the planning documents and understood the general steps.
Zhao Min is the best at monetizing technology, which is why Chen Mo is assured of handing over the company to her.
"We must also prepare in advance to deal with the impact of the exposure of this aircraft. If we follow normal development, the current development speed of the earth, in another hundred years, may not be able to manufacture this aircraft."
Chen Mo is too aware of the technology contained in it, which is a big era ahead of the current technology.
This aircraft contains technologies, materials and manufacturing processes that could advance the current industrial system by fifty years.
"What's the name of this plane? Kunpeng? Phoenix? Shenlong?" Zhao Min said.
"There are not only divine beasts, but also immortals that can fly. It is called the Goddess."
"It sounds good."
Zhao Min nodded with satisfaction upon hearing the name.
"Would you like to go inside the plane and take a look?"
"I can't ask for it." Zhao Min said with interest.
The two had just arrived under the aerospace plane, and on the belly of the plane, a hatch slowly landed and lay on the ground.
As soon as I entered, I saw a cabin that was about three meters high and four meters wide. The design was the same as the manned cabin of the space station. It was circular, with slightly flat sides. There were various handles on the cabin arms.
Next to the cabin, there are doors leading to other cabins.
"Different from what you imagined?"
"It really is."
Zhao Min was thinking of a spaceship in a sci-fi movie, where people can walk freely in the cabin, but there is a big difference between what is in front of you and what you imagined.
"There is no artificial gravity for the time being, and it is impossible to be like in the movie. When there is artificial gravity in the future, the spacecraft will be like the one in the movie. In space, there is no up and down, and there is no north, south, east, and west, so the cabin can only be designed this way for the time being.
The aircraft has a total of six main cabins, a cockpit, a central control hall, as well as an experimental cabin, a carrier cabin, a rest cabin and a living and entertainment cabin. In addition to the six main cabins, there is an emergency escape cabin and a material storage cabin. "
Chen Mo began to introduce to Zhao Min the layout of the Goddess,
The space inside the plane is much larger than expected.
"It's only the first generation of aircraft models. In the future, the conditions will be more perfect, and larger models will be manufactured."
"If this plane is used to carry passengers, how much can it carry?"
"A day trip to space, about 100 people is no problem."
...
"Are you going to test the plane?"
Li Chengzhi received a call from Chen Mo, his face full of surprise.
How long has it been since Chen Mo's space center project was established? The launch base and airport have been built so quickly, and the design and manufacture of the aircraft has been completed. Only one company in the world has such a terrifying 'money capability', and only Chen Mo has such a crazy investment.
"Didn't you build a space center? How did you get an airplane?"
Hearing the word "aircraft", Chen Mo's mouth twitched.
"Aerospace, it's normal to work on aircraft. Also, I'm working on aerospace aircraft, dual-use aircraft, not launch vehicles. Now that the aircraft is ready for test flight, it needs the approval of the military and the air traffic control department. What are the procedures? , I can submit the application, the sooner the better."
Aeroplane?
Li Chengzhi was frightened, the army ant group didn't fly, it flew into the sky, and the best ones came out.
"I'll handle the formalities for you. I know you like efficiency, so I can be quicker." Li Chengzhi said. He also wanted to see what the plane Chen Mo created this time was like.
"Chen Mo, that old boy has something to do with you again?" Liu Jianjun asked curiously when he saw Li Chengzhi's return.
"Something, something important." Li Chengzhi smiled helplessly.
"tell me the story."
"His aerospace plane is completed and ready for test flight. I have to go to Binhai City."
"What plane?" Liu Jianjun wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"You heard it right, he said that it is an aerospace aircraft, which is dual-use in space and space. Using our definition, it should be regarded as a sixth-generation fighter."
"Gah..."
Liu Jianjun almost dropped his jaw.
...
"Are you going to test an aerospace plane?" Yao Yi almost choked on his own saliva, looking at Zhao Min in disbelief.
It didn't take long for the Flying Ant Space Center to be built, and the aircraft was manufactured so quickly.
Aeroplanes are not selfie drones played by ordinary people.
What horrible build speed is this?
But thinking that it was the Army Ant Group, Yao Yi took it for granted.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Yao Yi said.
In Binhai City, he tried his best to help the Army Ant Group as much as possible. After all, Binhai City became the international metropolis it is today under the influence of the Army Ant Group.
In the past, Binhai City had an embarrassing position. It was the only second-tier city among open cities. Now, the GDP of Binhai City ranks at the forefront of the country and is comparable to most international metropolises.
Not to mention the standard of living.
Driverless buses, intelligent transportation, urban brains and holographic cities are put into use, and living standards are far from what they used to be.
"Our boss didn't say that, we shouldn't need to help. Just talk to the secretary, in case the test flight will bring unnecessary influence or rumors, you can know the situation in time." Zhao Min shook her head.
"Okay, someday the test flight, you tell me, if it's convenient, I want to watch it."
Yao Yi was very interested.
For most of his life, he has been in close contact with the space shuttle. This is an opportunity to learn about the latest development of the Army Ant Group.
"If it goes well, it won't take too long, the air traffic control side approves, and we can start the test flight." Zhao Min said.
