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

The people in the small room were speechless. They believed that what they heard here was the future direction of Xinyuan Aerospace, but they were even more speechless because of it.

At least from now on, the weird capitalist Lin Ju, who is not interested in making a lot of money, and these overly smart engineers have already looked beyond the earth. Although they are still standing in front of them, their thoughts have already reached the sea of ​​​​stars.

They still don't know the purpose of these crazy guys. Maybe they are just for the stars and the sea, but it is also more shocking because of this.

The superior made a little joke and broke the silence:

"Director Xiaolin is the contemporary Wanhu. Wanhu is an ancient man, but his yearning for the sky makes him willing to risk his life by sitting on a chair and flying into the sky. It's just that science and technology have made the chair safer.

And you will go to space to see it for yourself soon. To be honest, I also want to overlook the earth from space and have a completely new understanding of the planet under my feet at an altitude of 400 kilometers. But Director Lin has the ability to put it into perspective. become reality. "

Several people from the space agency also applauded in agreement:

"Yes, we can go up to the nine heavens to catch the moon, or we can go down to the five oceans to catch turtles. We can only catch turtles, but someone still needs to catch the moon."

Guo Shen: "We have always believed that it is a huge failure for the leaders of space companies not to know what space is like, so starting from the boss, every executive will complete a space flight within a few years."

The superior's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally stood up and said solemnly:

"Xinyuan Aerospace Power Company has dreams, technology, strength, and belief. It would be great if all companies across the country were like this! What you said makes sense. What is aerospace if astronauts have never seen the earth and the universe? ?”

The boss and Academician She looked at each other and felt that something big was about to happen, but the superior said nothing more.

…

Antonov Aviation Science and Technology Complex in the western suburbs of Kiev.

Andrei Sidenikov stood in the snow-covered hangar, looking up at a mutilated airplane.

This is the second machine of the An-225, but the construction was terminated after just the beginning. After that, neither the boss nor the second boss after the alliance split was able to continue to complete it, so it has been left here.

Of course, the biggest problem is not technology, but funding. Ermao is too embarrassed, and the subsequent construction process of the An-225 may require the support of some supporting factories of Da Mao, so it is difficult to negotiate.

The Antonov Design Bureau really wanted to complete the No. 2 aircraft, but it has been encountering great difficulties. The An-225 No. 1 aircraft was modified to perform various transportation tasks to subsidize the design bureau. This small amount of money is still not enough to complete the No. 2 aircraft. Too bad.

As the head of the production department, Chief Andre's factory production capacity was pitifully low. Who could have imagined the glory of this production complex during the alliance period?

"Andre, Andre, look at this, the largest plane in the world!"

"Did you add vodka to the cabbage soup? Vasily, the world's largest aircraft will be back here for repairs soon."

Vasily, who ran all the way in the ice and snow, was steaming all over his body. He gasped and handed over the phone:

"Khitan, the Khitans built a huge aircraft that surpasses the An-225!"

Andre glanced at his phone suspiciously. A short video was playing on it. It was a shot of a large aircraft flying overhead. The background seemed to be in a mountainous area. When he saw the wing shape, he knew it was an An-225, with an H-shaped tail. But it’s the sign of “dream”!

"Vasily, you are really confused. This is our An-225. Look at this airfoil. Can you not even recognize your own aircraft? It's not like the An-225 has never been to China. These videos are everywhere All.”

"You should count the engines! She has 8, that's not an An 225!"

Andre lowered his head again, and this time he looked carefully, and it seemed that it was indeed not An 225.

The video is slightly blurry, but the eight engines can still be seen, and the proportions of the aircraft's fuselage and wings are also different, and it doesn't even have a painting, just pure white and red registration numbers.

But he still couldn't believe it, because it's 2016 now and everyone knows that videos can be pornographic.

Vasily switched the page on his mobile phone, opened the Civil Aviation Administration's website, entered the number "B4043", searched, and then a message without a photo popped up.

Clicking in, they saw the basic parameters of the An 1250.

"This aircraft was built by Xinyuan Aerospace Dynamics. The chief engineer of the An-1250 is Androv and is named after him. It has been released by their official channels. It is said to be built to transport large spacecraft and rocket parts. .”

Andre stared at his phone for a while, then searched on YouTube and found several videos of An-1250 flights.

On that day, in addition to the flying friends who happened to pass by and recorded the clearest images with their cameras, there were also many people who used various mobile phones to take photos and videos of the An-1250 low-altitude test flight, and then posted them online.

According to the registration number, the basic information of the An-1250 was also made public. Finally, Xinyuan’s official Weibo directly released the completed test flight video, announcing to the world the birth of the An-1250 giant transport aircraft.

At the same time, Lin Ju issued a statement stating that the second aircraft of the An-1250, B4143, will soon conduct the world's first non-stop circumnavigation around 30 degrees north latitude.

A crew of 10, including three crew members and four engineers, will take flight B4143. After being filled with fuel, it will take off from Xinyuan Airport and fly eastward, crossing the Pacific Ocean, the southern part of the island country, Hawaii, Aramco, the Atlantic Ocean, and Italy. , Central Asia, Lucia, and finally entered the country from northwest China and landed at Xinyuan Airport.

The route is not completely circular. The entire journey is expected to be 42,000 kilometers and take 48 hours to fly. It will consume about 650 tons of aviation kerosene, leaving about 50 tons of fuel.

The reason why it is impossible to fly the equatorial route is that the distance of high-altitude flight is longer than the circumference of the equator, and it requires refueling and preparation for takeoff at the equator. If you want to take off and return from Xinyuan, you need to turn it on in the second half of the flight when the mass is reduced. There are fewer engines than four. With only three or even two, it is estimated that we can barely complete an equatorial round-the-world flight.

Of course, these preconditions are that aerial refueling is not performed at all. Previously, a Lucia An-124 completed a round-the-world flight with a total range of 50,000 kilometers in 72 hours, but it was completed after several aerial refuelings and does not count. .

The equatorial circumnavigation will be left to the challenge later, but even flying around the 30th parallel north latitude is quite an exaggeration. This is supported by its own fuel the whole way, and no manned aircraft in the world can do it.

Besides, there are many countries near the 30th parallel of north latitude. Flying over the equator can only be seen by primitive tribesmen. How can it be interesting to take photos and attract attention?

Of course, what follows is the huge attention from all walks of life to An 1250 and the attention of Xinyuan Company, which has created miracles.
