Homo sapiens.

With the completion of the assembly of [-] Eagle fighter jets one after another, the test work is also due to the increase of test samples, and various test data are also rapidly accumulating.

These test data are actually very important, related to improving fighter jets in the future and allowing airborne supercomputers to have more operating models.

And this series of tests, obviously, there is no way to completely hide it from the outside world.

After all, supersonic flight will produce a sonic boom. In some areas of Hongshawadi, it is already known that there are planes flying around in the sky these days.

Chapter 2 and Five Discovery

Hong Shavadi.

Mandalay, the civil aircraft manufacturing base of Qingye Airlines.

Hedgehog, who has been here for more than half a year, has become familiar with many employees around him through his long-sleeved and good social skills.

He is mainly responsible for the design of the aircraft landing gear, and the team leader Robert is a Boer from South Africa.

"Leader Robert, this is the prototype test report of Plan No. 7." Hedgehog handed a report to Robert.

Robert took a glance at it and put it aside: "OK, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the landing gear of the medium-sized airliner."

"Leader, what are we going to do next?" Hedgehog asked.

Robert smiled and replied: "Don't worry, don't you Chinese say a word? Work and rest, high, don't work too hard, the company doesn't want to see us die from overwork."

The hedgehog with the pseudonym Gao Changfeng just smiled at this.

Looking at the back of Gao Changfeng who left, Robert raised his glasses, and a look of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

Gao Changfeng, who returned to his post, had just sorted out some design drawings when he was stopped by several colleagues.

"Changfeng, it's almost time to get off work! Do you want to have a skewer together?" A tall, muscular man patted him on the shoulder.

Gao Changfeng didn't refuse. After all, he was here to do intelligence. If he didn't have a good relationship with the submarine staff, then he would even do a fart of intelligence, so he blurted out:

"Okay!"

The muscular man turned his head again, and asked another local employee, "Teak, do you want to come together?"

Maung Teak first archived the files on the computer before replying: "Yes, but drinking is free."

"Understood." The muscular man waved his hands awkwardly.

He didn't know the rules before. During a work dinner, he ordered a few bottles of beer and poured wine for other colleagues. Then he was named and notified by the consulting company under the head office, and 500 wages were deducted.

This incident left him with a profound lesson.

That is, within the Aoba Group, do not pour wine, offer cigarettes, introduce betel nut chewing, give red envelopes, ask for money, etc. to colleagues casually.

Unless you are sure that the other party really likes to smoke and drink, you will be targeted by consulting companies every minute.

The muscular man obviously thought that this place was similar to his hometown at first, so he suffered this loss.

After calling friends for a while, the muscular man called two colleagues in the design team of the cabin air pressure maintenance system, and a total of five people went to play together.

On the side of the aircraft manufacturing base is the employee town.

This small town is actually one of the satellite towns of Mandalay City. Currently, there are 7 satellite towns around Mandalay, all of which are part of Mandalay.

Together, they are collectively referred to as the Mandalay District.

Because this town has an aircraft manufacturing base, as well as a large number of supporting factories, plus their families, it is also called an aircraft town.

Aircraft Town is located in the northwest of the main urban area of ​​Mandalay, 13.4 kilometers away from the main urban area, and is connected by the ring light rail and expressway.

The light rail just divides the aircraft town into two, with the industrial area on the north side and the commercial area and residential area on the south side.

Gao Changfeng and his party used their employee cards to take a bus to the commercial area on the south side.

This is a small town with a population of about 6.3. Most of the residents are company employees, and the rest are employees' families, so there are no outsiders.

Sitting in the bus, Gao Changfeng looked out the window.

Unlike ordinary industrial cities, the layout of Aircraft Town is very loose, with unusually wide streets, and a large number of small parks are arranged between each factory.

Especially between the light rail and the industrial area, there are a series of parks, woodlands and grasslands.

It seems that every factory is surrounded by green.

From the perspective of Gao Changfeng after special training, this city layout seems to be prepared for war.

In fact, he guessed right.

Such a large proportion of urban gardens is a preparation for war.

The plant design scheme of many factories has been left to transform the space from the very beginning.

For example, the layout area reserved for the green umbrella system, the modular design inside the factory can be quickly disassembled, and the open road is also for the convenience of arranging the green umbrella and the rapid transfer of equipment and products.

Only the new humans of Homo sapiens company know the secrets of the reserved space for this transformation, and it is impossible for natural humans to see the real use.

Even if Gao Changfeng has a certain professional reconnaissance ability, he can only feel the elephant for the blind at this time.

The low engine sound of the bus is too familiar to Gao Changfeng and the muscular man, which is a bit similar to a turbofan engine.

It's just that the sound is very small, even smaller than ordinary gasoline engines and diesel engines.

This situation attracted Gao Changfeng's attention, because the engine sound of this bus was somewhat different from the previous diesel generators.

"Da Biao, has the engine of this bus been replaced?"

I haven't waited for the muscular man Dabiao to answer.

Maung Teak, who was sitting in front, said, "You haven't paid attention to the company's economic newsletter, have you? The car factory invested by the company in Chiang Mai, Siam, has been officially put into production. This bus is produced there. I heard that it uses gas turbine technology."

"Gas turbine? Are you kidding?" Da Biao looked surprised.

Gao Changfeng listened carefully for a while, and found that the engine sound of the bus was indeed like a turbofan engine:

"Why do automobile factories use gas turbines? Gas turbines can only have high thermal efficiency when they are large and high-speed. Small gas turbines operate at low speeds, and their thermal efficiency can be very low. The best experimental vehicles now have gas turbines. Only 30-40% thermal efficiency, and the equipment cost is high.”

Maung Teak spread his hands: "How do I know what the designers of the car factory think?"

Da Biao turned on his phone and logged into the official website of Aoba Motor Company.

See related content soon.

Sure enough, Aoba Motor Company recently launched a series of hybrid models, including buses, minivans, vans, buses and the like.

"Hybrid? I see, this is probably to solve the problem of low speed and low efficiency." Da Biao saw the intention of this plan at a glance.

When Gao Changfeng heard this sentence, he suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a hybrid, but the thermal efficiency of the micro gas turbine is not so good! In addition, how to solve the noise and high-heat exhaust gas?"

"In terms of noise, they used sound-insulating materials and noise-reducing designs." Da Biao replied while flipping through the pages: "Damn it..."

"What's wrong?" Maung Yuki asked, turning her head.

Da Biao said with a strange face: "Aren't they afraid of cost explosion? They even use waste gas to re-create methane and realize waste heat recovery."

"What? Exhaust gas produces methane?" Gao Changfeng turned on his mobile phone and quickly found the relevant content.

This technology utilizes the exhaust gas of the gas turbine, which is characterized by high temperature and high pressure, and its components are water vapor and carbon dioxide, and then introduces it into a special electrolysis synthesis kettle.

Through electrolysis and special catalysts in the synthesis reactor, high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor and carbon dioxide can be quickly synthesized into high-heat methane gas.

Its energy conversion efficiency is about 38%.

Gao Changfeng raised his head and said, "If I remember correctly, this technology seems to have been developed by Shuimu University in 18, right?"

Da Biao replied: "Yes, there will be an introduction later, Qingye Automobile has purchased the right to use this technology at one time."

"After this set, the cost of micro gas turbine, generator, battery, electric control, electric motor, sound insulation, exhaust gas and waste heat recovery system will explode directly. What does the car factory think? It's not worth the loss!" Gao Changfeng complained.

Chapter 2 Advantages

Gao Changfeng, Da Biao and the others were discussing enthusiastically. Apparently, Qingye Motor's prodigal behavior made them feel that this design scheme was very weird.

However, they don't know that the cost of this system is still at a controllable level.

The cost of electric energy control system, micro-generator and electric motor is almost the same as that of ordinary hybrid vehicles.

But lead-acid batteries are very cheap. Even if you add a sulfur dioxide purifier, the cost is much cheaper than lithium batteries and ternary composite batteries.

The cost of micro gas turbines, exhaust gas and waste heat recovery systems, and sound insulation layers is actually not high.

It is mainly due to the low-cost components brought by biosynthesis technology. The cost of micro gas turbines, waste heat recovery systems, and sound insulation layers is only equivalent to about 60% to 70% of the gasoline and diesel engines of the same engine.

The thermal efficiency of the micro gas turbine is 50%, and the exhaust gas waste heat recovery system can recover 38% of the energy, which is equivalent to an increase of 50% on the basis of the thermal efficiency of 9.5%, reaching 59.5%.

In addition, don't forget that this waste heat recovery can be recycled continuously, although after each cycle, the previously recovered energy is 9.5% of 9.5%, and so on.

But this kind of blessing will continue to be superimposed.

The thermal efficiency of 59.5% is simply terrible.

Perhaps private cars can care less about engine thermal efficiency.

But for transportation companies, the thermal efficiency of 59.5% is 40% to 45% higher than the 14.5% to 19.5% thermal efficiency of diesel engines in current transportation vehicles.

With the same fuel, a diesel vehicle can run 40-45 kilometers, while a gas turbine hybrid vehicle can run 59.5 kilometers.

If it is enlarged to hundreds of kilometers or thousands of kilometers of transportation distance, the gap will become more obvious.

In addition, the cost of equipment does not significantly exceed that of diesel vehicles.

Of course, Aoba Group will not continue to use diesel and gasoline engine equipment. Unless there is a special requirement to use them, they will all replace them with gas turbine hybrids.

For things like cost, for a company, sometimes even an increase or decrease of one percent can have a huge impact.

Not to mention such a huge improvement.

Taking advantage of the fact that the ship is small and easy to turn around, it is the best choice to switch to the hybrid power of gas turbines in an all-round way, and cooperate with Homo sapiens to produce methane by itself, so as to save oil and use it as a strategic reserve.

Gao Changfeng and others did not know that Homo sapiens' precision parts had achieved mass production at low cost.

That's why they feel that the designers of the car factory have lost their heads.

After a while, the bus arrived at the food street in the business district.

Get out of the car.

All kinds of scents are coming.

This food street is actually the staff canteen of the entire aircraft town. In order to meet the daily needs of more than 6 people, there are many restaurants.

Although they are all subsidiaries of Green Leaf Catering Company, these restaurants are all competitors, and the consulting company's sword is watching, so the service, sanitation and dishes are all good.

According to the regulations of the headquarters, the ratio of one restaurant per [-] people + two snack bars.

There are 63 restaurants and 126 snack bars in Airplane Town, employing more than 2400 people.

Gao Changfeng felt very uncomfortable at first, but after more than half a year of life, he gradually got used to it, and he even became accustomed to it.

There is no private enterprise other than Qingye Group in the entire aircraft town.

Not to mention snack bars, Aoba Group even has housekeeping services, gyms, tattoo parlors, beauty salons, photo studios, laundry rooms, flower shops, and funeral shops.

As an employee of the Qingye Group, in an employee town like Jiji Town, you are basically colleagues wherever you go.

After walking for a few minutes, Da Biao led a group of people to a restaurant called "Happy Mushroom".

"Let's order!"

None of the five people asked for other people's opinions, but each made their own points.

This is to avoid being suspected of bribing colleagues and superiors. Although you can write a report to explain clearly, the problem is very troublesome, and the person invited is probably not willing to write a report to explain it for a meal.

Therefore, employees usually eat meals together under the AA system, and the entire town is full of employees of the company. Over time, the atmosphere of eating AA system has formed.

Happy mushrooms mainly focus on mushroom dishes. At present, large-scale artificial cultivation has been achieved for such mushrooms as chrysanthemum, morel, russula, bisporus, pleurotus eryngii, shiitake mushroom and enoki mushroom.

Gao Changfeng couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw the morel mushrooms and gallium mushrooms on the menu.

These two edible fungi currently only have the mass production technology of artificial cultivation in Luzon and Hongshawadi. The mushroom cultivation base in Hongshawadi was built by a Homo sapiens company in Luzon.

On the other hand, there are companies in Huaguo, which use the news of large-scale mass production of Gallus pilosula and Morchella in Luzon and Hongshawadi to hype their own cultivation techniques in various places.

It is heard that thousands of farmers have been deceived by these companies and invested in so-called morel and gallium mushroom greenhouses.

These days, he has often used channels such as the fellowship association to feed back news in this regard to his hometown. It is a good thing to reduce one farmer who is deceived.

In fact, many Chinese working in Hongshawadi are sending news to their hometowns about this kind of thing, so Gao Changfeng doesn't need to avoid suspicion too much.

Those hyped planting companies are also extremely black-hearted.
