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

Chapter 111 An-1250

He quickly caught up with Lin Ju who turned around and left. Androv explained as he walked:

"Since we can build a rocket shell with a diameter of 11 meters, it is actually no problem to build a transport aircraft body with a diameter of seven or eight meters. Not to mention the An-225, even one larger than her can be designed. All aerospace materials are available. It’s universal, and we only need to build two or three of them, even if we only need to assemble and manufacture a part by hand, that’s enough workers.”

"Two or three?" Lin Ju turned around and said something, and then continued walking.

"There has to be a rotation. Boss, you have to believe me. In fact, my name Androv is the same as Antonov's, but the transliteration is different. They are both from the An family, and they are also good at building airplanes. "

Lin Ju almost choked at what Lao An said, and finally stopped and said helplessly:

"It has been at least a year in development for a large aircraft of this level, right? Why don't we use water transportation if we have the time and energy? At worst, the Forward will be delayed for a while."

"It doesn't take a year! Manufacturing actually only takes four or five months."

"What about the design? For such a large aircraft, there are probably hundreds of thousands of parts drawings alone. It would not be enough for all the people at the base to draw."

"Boss, did you forget to fund the research to accelerate the progress of the institute's tasks? You invested 500 million. As long as the status is successful, isn't it feasible?"

Lin Ju was stunned. After thinking for a while, he silently created a new task in the research institute.

"What kind of plane? How big is it?"

"The length is 130 meters, the wingspan is 136 meters, the height is 24 meters, the maximum width is 8.9 meters, the maximum take-off mass is 1250 tons, the empty weight is 390 tons, the cargo hold size is 7.5*6.9 meters, the length is 80 meters, the cargo hold load is 360 tons, and the back load is 500 tons Ton;

For the time being, I will name her An 1250, codename: Yunpeng. "

Takeoff mass 1250 tons? It is twice that of An 225! It is indeed worthy of the name Yunpeng.

Although he was shocked by Androv's exaggerated design, Lin Ju still created a new task in the system.

[New task: Design and construction of the An-1250 "Yunpeng" giant transport aircraft

Progress: 0%]

Lin Ju threw 10 million into this task to test the waters, and then the progress bar on the panel flickered to 3%.

Androv in front of him seemed to feel something in his heart. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and then opened them again:

"Boss, I already have a preliminary design plan. Let's go to the design room and upgrade it first, and then you can invest."

The two entered the design room all the way. Androv was upgraded to a B+ aerodynamics expert on the way. Then he called more than 20 senior engineers to form the An-1250 design team and started drawing and modeling on the server.

Lin Ju added another 20 million, and the system progress bar continued to grow as a group of engineers went crazy with electronic drawing and modeling. After more than 5 hours, the progress reached 7% and stopped.

Androv looked very tired after high-intensity mechanical drawing, and patted his shoulder, which was afraid of being sore:

"With 466 drawings, we have completed the draft design of the An-1250. It does not need a blowing tunnel. It is perfect. If we invest another two to three billion, recruit about 50 engineers, and work overtime to 12 hours in 40 days, we will complete it. More than 13,000 parts, 6,000 types of designs, and then it’s ready for production.”

"So fast!"

Lin Ju felt that it was too exaggerated to complete the design work of such a giant transport aircraft in 40 days. The number of parts alone was staggering.

Androv explained: "The An-1250 is designed based on a mature airframe, which is almost an enlarged version of the An-225. It will also use eight turbojet engines with a thrust of 33 tons.

It will be named XW-30 and requires a B+ level aviation designer and two B-level designers to complete it. The materials should be fine and the base has processing capabilities. "

Now that Androv's design was promised, Lin Ju could only upgrade the aero-engine department, and at the same time, the new mission began to use funds to accelerate the mission.

The progress of increasing system funds for the research institute's tasks is not achieved instantly when the funds are fully invested, but is reflected by improving the accuracy of the design.

For example, the design and material experiments of a certain part may have required constant modifications and adjustments before it was finalized, but the result of the institute's intervention is that engineers can directly make a plan that is closest to the right path, which can be called a scientific research artifact.

However, since most of the time the products came from the mature design of the system, Lin Ju did not take the initiative to intervene. For a moment, he almost forgot that he could cheat like this.

After understanding the status of the aero-engine department, Lin Ju also learned about the current progress of XW-9 and XW-10.

The XW-10 large-bypass engine is about a month away from completion. The XW-9 with a small bypass ratio has basically completed the design goals and is ready to be installed on the aircraft for testing.

But the problem is that I can't find the plane...

The XW-9 has a maximum thrust of 13.9 tons and is designed to fly to an altitude of 30,000 meters. The Xinyuan factory only has one old Tu-154, and the most it tests is the XW-10. The performance of the XW-9 cannot be verified at all.

There are also requirements for test aircraft. How can ordinary aircraft withstand flying at an altitude of more than 30,000 meters and three times the speed of sound? The aluminum alloy body is as soft as noodles. It must be made of titanium alloy or special grade stainless steel to withstand it.

The problem is that this kind of aircraft cannot be found in China and cannot be bought abroad...

XW-9 and XW-10 are externally-sold engines with high hopes. How can they earn RMB if they can't perform miracles?

The person in charge of the aviation development department caught Androv after he was promoted to B+ and asked to design another verification aircraft to fly at high altitudes and high speeds.

This kind of demonstrator does not require any performance indicators. It only needs to ensure that the air inlet can be large enough to perfectly bring out the performance of the engine. The rest can be made do. After taking over the task, Androv said that he would increase the design strength and cooperate with the manufacturer. 1250 can basically complete the design at the same time.

In the system panel, the institute's mission "XF01 high-altitude and high-speed verification machine" project has been established and research and development has officially begun. It is expected to consume 300 to 500 million yuan from design to manufacturing.

The XW-30 project has also been approved. The core of this jet engine with a thrust of 33 tons is still based on the jet part of the WCR-09. The bypass ratio will increase to an astonishing 8.2. Only the GE90 can surpass it.

In just one afternoon, Lin Ju was pocketed more than 1 billion by these system engineers...

Fortunately, there is still hope that these investments will turn into returns, and Lin Ju can only hope to earn more.

But what Lin Ju didn't expect was that someone wanted to take money from him the next day.

"Hello Mr. Lin, we are here on behalf of China Film Group. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with us."

Lin Ju sat behind his desk and looked at the four or five people in front of him in confusion, one of whom he even knew.

These are the film crew of China Film Group, and the movie they are about to shoot is: The Wandering Earth.

In 2012, China Film Co., Ltd. bought the copyright of "The Wandering Earth" and planned to remake it into a movie. However, it has been in preparation for three years. The director was just confirmed this year: Guo Fan.

According to the original history, it will take another two years after Guo Fan takes over the task. Filming will not officially start until 2017, and it will finally be released in the Spring Festival of 2019.

It stands to reason that it should still be in the stage of revising the script, so what do they want to do when they find Xinyuan?

Lin Ju looked at Guo Fan who was a little embarrassed and hiding behind others.
