Chapter 596 The Aerospace Plane Offline Ceremony (1)

Chang'an has been prosperous since ancient times. In the third decade of the 21st century, Chang'an seems to have returned to the prosperous Chang'an era. Chang'an Everbright City is famous all over the country. There are not only various ancient buildings here, but also famous universities all over the country. There are many universities here.

Of course, it has to be said that this is one of the centers of China's aerospace industry. Chang'an's pillar industry is the aerospace industry, which has formed an almost complete aerospace industry chain. Advanced bombers, transport aircraft, and launch vehicles can be manufactured here. , manned spacecraft, satellites, etc., can be described as high-tech full coverage.

In order to support the development of aerospace, Changan has a supercomputing center, which has a supercomputer with a computing power of one billion operations, and a quantum computer with a computing power of world-class level.

Especially with the end of the desert control project, the weather and climate are recovering at a speed that can be discerned with the naked eye. It is conceivable that within a few years, the environment here can also compete for a livable city.

Here, the proportion of state-owned enterprises is far higher than that of other places. Whether it is aerospace or military industry, private enterprises are now unable to play. First, there is no technology, and second, there is not so much capital investment. Both fields belong to the role of flag-waving.

And in a huge assembly plant, it is in full swing at this time, the aerospace plane in the middle of the assembly plant has been covered with red cloth, and now the workers are hanging banners and making ribbons to dress up.

"Congratulations, Deputy Commander Yang, you have completed the mission three months ahead of schedule!" In the final assembly plant, Qin Yuanqing said to Yang Yue who was accompanying him, sending out his blessings.

The original time plan, the aerospace plane 'K2027' will be around December 12, 25 to complete all construction tasks and enter the aerospace plane off-line ceremony, but with the efforts of the engineers, the first aerospace plane was moved ahead of schedule by three All the construction was completed in January, and the miniaturized 'Golden Crow Device', magnetic fluid generator set, plasma engine, anti-gravity device, and small 'quantum computer' were successfully carried on the space plane.

"Although the aerospace plane 'K1' was built three months ahead of schedule, the construction cost has greatly exceeded the budget, reaching an astonishing 30 billion yuan, 20 billion yuan more than the budget! I am ashamed of this!" Yang Yue frowned. Said with a frown.

Because it is the first time to build an aerospace plane, the engineers are seriously inexperienced, so many components have to be redone, and the cost is that the cost soars. The cost of an aerospace plane has reached an astonishing 30 billion yuan. , The cost of this aerospace plane is the highest, far exceeding other planes.

"I believe that the construction cost of the second aerospace plane will come down, don't worry about going over budget!" Qin Yuanqing patted Yang Yue and said.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the 'Shuanghuan Space Station', Yang Yue is specifically responsible for the construction of aerospace aircraft. The aerospace aircraft can be said to be the essence of China's aerospace industry, the crystallization of China's industry, and a part of China's comprehensive national strength. It shows that its technical content far exceeds that of the "Tiangong" space station that is currently in space.

And if there is no accident, China's third manned moon landing in 2030 will no longer be carried out by a rocket carrier spacecraft, but this aerospace plane will perform the third manned moon landing mission. Shocking the whole world also means that China has completely achieved an absolute leading position in the aerospace field.

This is a real killer!
As the world's aerospace boom is on the rise, the voice of the space shuttle continues to rise, and the eyes of the world are once again focusing on the space shuttle. After all, the space shuttle has great advantages compared to other spacecraft.In China, there are also people who continue to advocate that China should develop space shuttles to cope with the increasingly fierce competition in the aerospace field in the future.

It's a pity that they don't know that China does not develop space shuttles, but focuses on aerospace planes, and the aerospace planes are not at the stage of program demonstration, but have already been built.

Although this aerospace plane 'K1' is only a standard combat aerospace plane, it can carry 5 to 7 astronauts at the same time. There is no comparison at all.

Such an aerospace plane is equipped with a laser cannon, which can destroy any spacecraft, even a satellite, if it cannot withstand the laser cannon, it will be directly destroyed.

"Commander Qin, do you want to give this aerospace plane a resounding code name?" Yang Yue said, "It's not good to always call it K1 or K1!"

K1 is a serial number, not a code name, referring to the first aerospace plane.

The code name is derived from the tradition of the aircraft. Each aircraft model will have a code name, and the code name will be more pleasant. For example, the code name of J20 is Veyron, the code name of F22 is Raptor, and the code name of F35 is Lightning.
Naturally, they also hope to give this aerospace plane a shiny and powerful code name, which will make people feel awesome when they hear it.

"This time the dean will personally attend the off-line ceremony of this aerospace plane, and let the dean choose a name for this aerospace plane. He is much better than me in choosing a name!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

Yang Yue's eyes lit up!
He never thought that the dean would personally attend the roll-off ceremony of the aerospace plane.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the off-line of this aerospace aircraft represents that China has made another substantial leap in the aerospace field. The era of aviation has truly entered the space age.

In other words, the space age has ushered in another milestone!

For such an important event, it is normal for the dean to personally attend its offline ceremony.

"Deputy Commander Yang, after the off-line ceremony and before the first flight, you have to watch over this period to ensure that everything goes smoothly. Once you find any problems, you must check out the problems and solve them as soon as possible. " Qin Yuanqing said to Yang Yue.

After participating in tomorrow's off-line ceremony, Qin Yuanqing has to leave, because China's second manned moon landing is about to begin, Qin Yuanqing needs to lead a team of experts to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the launch vehicle and spacecraft to ensure that the safety is eliminated as much as possible. Hidden danger.

Therefore, the next job will be handed over to Yang Yue.

The aerospace plane is different from other fighter jets. After it is completed and rolled off the assembly line, it will take half a year before its first flight. During this half-year period, the test flight crew will officially enter the aerospace plane and begin to get familiar with the aerospace plane. After all, this aerospace plane is different from fighter jets, transport planes, and bombers. It is a brand new aerospace plane.

This means that test pilots need to spend more time getting familiar with aerospace aircraft, even if the entire test flight team has already completed the selection and memorized all the instructions of aerospace aircraft, or even recited them backwards, but memorizing is nothing. The actual operation is real.

Unlike previous test pilots, the test flight group is different, it is a whole group, with a total of 10 people, 5 as a group, a total of two groups.

These test pilots are all selected from the aviation brigade. The test pilots of the two groups are very young, with an average age of only 27 years old. They have experienced fierce competition, defeated their competitors, stood out, and became the first A group of space shuttle astronauts!

At this moment, two people entered the final assembly plant under the leadership of the guards. Qin Yuanqing saw that it was Director Yan of the Air Force Equipment Department and Academician Gan, the chief engineer of the Air Force Equipment Research Institute.

Director Yan, although he is over 60 years old, is wearing a military uniform with a serious face and looks meticulous. The first impression gave everyone a solemn feeling.

"Director Yan!" Qin Yuanqing shook hands with Director Yan. They have dealt with each other more than once in these years. When he was developing aero-engines, Director Yan was the deputy director of the Air Force Equipment Department. He was promoted step by step, and now he is in charge of the Air Force Equipment Department. .

After all, the two are old friends!
"Academician Qin, you have created another big satellite this time, no wonder you rejected so many new-generation aircraft development plans!" Director Yan was filled with emotion.

Aerospace planes are kept in high secrecy, and even he, the director of the Air Force Equipment Department, doesn't know about it.

In the past, the Air Force Equipment Department has been working on the development of a new generation of combat aircraft to deal with the future situation. Unfortunately, Qin Yuanqing vetoed every meeting on the development plan, which annoyed the relevant departments of the Air Force, which meant that Qin Yuanqing was here specifically to find fault.

He wanted to bypass Qin Yuanqing, but he couldn't get around no matter what.

After all, Qin Yuanqing is known as the father of China's modern aero-engines. From aero-engines to aircraft body design and materials, I don't know how many people came out of the Mizuki Aero-Engine Research Institute, and most of what they learned were materials written by Qin Yuanqing. It can be said that Qin Yuanqing disciples and grandchildren.

You bypassed Qin Yuanqing, and the superior asked for a while if Academician Qin had any comments. If you said that Academician Qin was not invited to participate, the superior would definitely criticize him directly, and then tear up the report without even reading it.

"Director Yan, please forgive me!" Qin Yuanqing said with a little apology. As the commander-in-chief of the 'Shuanghuan Space Station' headquarters and in charge of the overall work of the 'Shuanghuan Space Station', Qin Yuanqing has too many secrets, who can tell what? He had to know everything in his heart, otherwise it would lead to leaks, and he would cause heavy losses if he was not careful.

"Academician Gan, long time no see!" Qin Yuanqing said to Academician Gan later. As the chief engineer of the Air Force Equipment Research Institute and academician of the Academy of Engineering, Qin Yuanqing naturally knew Qin Yuanqing. Even when Qin Yuanqing was developing aero engines, Academician Gan was not Academician, the two have known each other since then, so they can be regarded as old friends.

"Academician Qin, I admire it, and I look forward to seeing its true colors tomorrow!" Academician Gan said with emotion.

The aerospace plane, which is still on the concept and PPT, ended up being built so abruptly that a roll-off ceremony will be held tomorrow.

When he was informed by his superiors, Academician Gan was still in a daze, until he got here and got off the plane, he still couldn't believe it.
