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

"Your Highness, this is really not about money."

In the office of the Aviation Development Commission, Prince Sweetan put an extremely precious shahtoosh on the table, and the latter immediately got a headache.

On the third day of Tengyun's first flight, His Royal Highness the Prince flew all the way from Abo. The purpose was self-evident.

"Lin, we are friends. I just want to congratulate you on your success. Please be sure to accept this gift. It was personally selected by His Royal Highness the King."

Okay, if I don't accept it this time, it won't make sense.

But Abel's request...how to put it, it's really illegal.

Yesterday, Lin Ju was still preparing for a meeting with others in Beijing when he received an interest from Arbor Airlines:

Purchase an aerospace plane for the king's special plane.

It's none other than Teng Yun, which just made its first flight and is still hanging in space. It will stay in orbit for three days for testing.

As for Abel's request... the Aviation Development Committee could not refuse it immediately, but tactfully said "it is not the time".

However, he did not expect that Prince Sweetan flew over the next day and met him with a priceless Shatush, but Lin Ju did not dare to take it. It was at least a dozen Tibetan antelopes.

But he couldn't refuse. After all, it would be unreasonable to say that 50% of Xinyuan's development was achieved by selling H1.

Lin Ju had no choice but to resort to dragging tactics and happily accepted Shatoosh - this thing was truly well-deserved and very comfortable, and then explained to Prince Sweetan in a sincere and sincere manner:

"Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to sell it, but the production of aerospace aircraft is extremely complex and difficult. Look at the current passenger aircraft, they are trying to reduce the four engines to two engines, but Tengyun has a full 10 An engine is expensive and difficult to maintain.

Besides, it is not suitable for use on special travel planes. Every time it goes to an airport, it requires a huge professional logistics team, and it is filled with rocket fuel. It is really not suitable. "

Unexpectedly, Prince Sweetan had a clear look on his face and said confidently:

"Of course, we won't cause trouble to others. This is for His Majesty the King to visit space."

"..."

"But it would be better if it could be used on Earth. I heard that a space plane can reach any place in the world within two hours. Is that true?"

"Theoretically yes."

Lin Ju nodded. Of course it can be done. It doesn't even need the combined power engine of the aerospace plane. The WCR12 used by Xuehu will do.

"Okay, let's order one. Can it be delivered in 2020? 2021 is also fine."

"..."

"Your Highness, this matter is really not what you think."

…

After the first demonstration meeting of Plan No. 5 in the afternoon, Lin Ju caught Academician She and expressed his bitterness.

The latter was also speechless for a while, this matter was really not easy to handle.

"Then what did you promise him in the end?"

Lin Ju suddenly became serious:

“The aerospace plane is not available yet, nor is the powered one like Snow Hu, so we haven’t given it to them.

But don’t they want to be fast? I suggest buying a supersonic passenger plane with a long range from us. It has less logistical pressure and is very easy to use. "

"But the C810 doesn't have enough range, and it's too small."

"It's not the C810, it's the C1000. It's a new design, a supersonic passenger aircraft that cruises at 2.8 times the speed of sound and can carry 200 passengers. It can arrive on the Pacific route in three hours. It is the fastest civil aviation aircraft in history. It will be delivered by this time next year."

Academician She didn't speak for a long time, and finally said:

"when did it happen?"

"I just thought about it."

"..."

Academician She fell into silence again, wanting to say something but in the end he couldn't.

However, Lin Ju began to seriously talk about the advantages of supersonic flight. After all, the Pacific route only takes 15 hours. Supersonic passenger planes can definitely bring a leap-forward experience, so it is reasonable to increase ticket prices.

Although the entire civil aviation environment is currently showing a trend of losses due to rising fuel prices, it does not mean that the demand for air transportation is reduced. The selling point of supersonic passenger aircraft makes it completely unnecessary to get involved with other subsonic passenger aircraft.

In fact, the retirement of the Concorde was not due to fuel consumption problems, but mainly due to noise. At a speed of Mach 2, it disturbed the residents on the ground.

So has the C810 had such problems in China after it has been in operation for so long? Of course there is, but it is not as strong as imagined. After all, airports are noisy, and domestic people are not as sensitive as those in Europe. So far, the most popular related search on the Internet is "When will a supersonic passenger plane be available?"

The most important thing is that Xinyuan now has extremely rich experience in manufacturing supersonic aircraft, and the "Xuehu", "Tengyun" and "C810" have opened up the domestic supply chain of large supersonic aircraft parts, so production is not difficult.

Academician She has become numb to his ability to make trouble, and can only convince himself that at least the affairs of the Aviation Development Commission have been transferred out, and he does not need to worry more.

The Tianwen-5 demonstration meeting in the afternoon was no surprise. Lin Ju took the lead in expressing his approval, and then more than half of the remaining radicals also used the slogan of "get it done in one step" and planned to fight.

Above, what's the opinion above?

The answer is that it's okay. Now the Aerospace Development Commission has spent too much money to live up to this one, and China's aerospace successes have constantly given them confidence, believing that every impossible will eventually become possible.

Besides, now that there has been a wave of large-scale projects in China, the traditional space project is nothing.

…

“The old Chinese say (there is an old saying): If you don’t reach the Great Wall, you are not a true man.”

Bob Rosser finished reading the seven unpronounceable words stiffly, and then looked at Wu Yunfeng with a proud look on his face.

The latter immediately praised his Chinese proficiency, then pointed to the wall tiles under his feet and said:

"There was a famous rumor in the past that the Great Wall could be seen from space. In fact, even if TEPA was moved to the ground, it would not be visible. It is still too small."

The two chatted relatively casually, and a large number of foreigners passed by. Although there were many, it was still much less than the expected passenger flow during the Golden Week.

That's because it's now a closed period, and most of the tourists have left. Scientists from the World Society can also come and see the scenery. The meeting will be closed for three days during the National Day.

Wu Yunfeng is now accepting the sunset with ease, because he has almost confirmed that TEPA will appear in next year's fiscal expenditure items.

These foreigners, who had everything from travel expenses to daily expenses borne by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, played an important role and used tens of millions to leverage hundreds of billions. They were basically completely convinced from top to bottom.

While he was imagining the huge accelerator of the future, Ye Changsi appeared next to him at some point.

"Lao Ye, have you been to the Great Wall?"

Ye Changsi smiled: "I came here a long time ago. In fact, it was very different from now. The gap is quite big."

"Haha, times have changed. Now I really want to rush to the giant accelerator right away, but it will be at least ten, ten years away.

I will be 64 years old in ten years, and it will take me 70 years to start it. When I was 49 years old, I said that I would start CEPC. Now I finally have a result. My lifelong efforts are on this accelerator. "
