Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Bao Zixuan drove home after the press conference. After all, he had not been home for three months. His mother was already very angry when she called her, and now she needed to be comforted. As for the reporters' visit to the ground-effect aircraft, it is all in the hands of Mike Briffen. Since you choose to trust this German double doctor, you must give him enough power. I want to do everything by myself, even if I am exhausted, I can't do much.

Mike Briffen was very happy to see Bao Zixuan leave on his own initiative, which proved that the ground effect aircraft project was now completely under his control. So he entertained the media reporters very warmly. This was his opportunity to become famous in the world. Let the leader of the Technical University of Munich see that it is not that he has no ability, but that he has not met anyone who discovered his ability.

When Bao Zixuan returned home, he saw that Li Yulin's face was very ugly, and he knew that his mother must be angry because he had not been home for the past three months.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Mommy, who made you angry, but you have to take care of yourself!"

Li Yulin: "Who else can make me angry except you, leaving me without saying a word for so long. If it weren't for the phone calls every day, I would have thought something happened to my son!"

After saying that, he saw Bao Zixuan's thin face and didn't know what to say. It was really heartbreaking to see his son like this, so he changed the topic and continued: "You are also a big boss, and our family's money will never be spent in a few lifetimes. Don’t you have to work so hard every day? Others are worried that their sons are too lazy, but I am just the opposite. I am worried that my sons are too capable and will tire me out.”

"Aren't we too lonely with just two people in our family? You are also in your twenties. Before, it was because it was inconvenient to study at school. Now you have to think about it."

This is Bao Zixuan's biggest headache, after all, he is already 24 years old. As she grows older, Li Yulin will definitely become more and more anxious about his lifelong affairs, but she really doesn't know what kind of girl she is looking for, and she has always been very confused about this.

While Bao Zixuan and his son were chatting, Mike Briffen took reporters to the Black Cloud Pier in Tin Shui Wai. When the reporter saw a behemoth appearing in front of his eyes, he suddenly felt that he was indeed too small.

The length of a Boeing 747 is only 70 meters, while the length of the Xiangjiang Monster ground effect aircraft reaches an astonishing 108 meters. It can be said that apart from rockets, it is the largest aircraft on the earth. Many people still can’t believe that this behemoth can really fly.

The Boeing 747 has a payload of only about 100 tons, while this guy has an effective payload of nearly 500 tons. This is a completely black technology, and I don’t know how the engineers of Heiyun Group developed it.

Mike Briffen smiled and said to everyone: "Journalists, right in front of you is the Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft that our Heiyun Group has just successfully tested. We will conduct a test flight in a while. If you are interested, you can sign up. Let me talk first. The good aircraft is currently in the test flight stage, and many of its performances are not very stable. I will buy insurance for everyone before the test flight, provided that you sign a liability waiver."

"But please don't worry, I will also participate in the test flight with you on the aircraft."

There was no such activity originally, but Mike Briffen absolutely believed in the Xiangjiang Monster. After all, he had gone through thousands of simulation tests before, and the flight yesterday gave him enough confidence.

Many European and American journalists are full of challenging spirit, and most importantly, many people here are not just journalists. Everyone wants to figure out the performance of the aircraft, how can they miss this opportunity now.

Journalists began to sign up on site. After all, this may be one of the few opportunities to experience the aircraft up close. However, there are also some timid reporters who did not sign up. After all, everyone has their own ambitions and no one will force them.

After taking n number of photos, the unregistered reporter stepped off the aircraft. Although they felt a little unwilling, this was their own choice and they couldn't blame others.

Finally, according to statistics, 36 reporters signed up for this test flight event, basically all from Europe and the United States. To be exact, most of these people are spies, but no one says it clearly.

Mike Briffen also gave the guys a big bonus, they could get into the cab. Journalists who didn't sign up didn't have this privilege, which made everyone feel that it was worth going back now.

Journalists, especially those who work part-time as spies, are well-informed people. When they come to the cab of the Xiangjiang Monster, they feel as if they have entered an alien spacecraft.

There is no instrument panel here, all data is displayed on the LCD monitor. Make people look very neat and comfortable. They are also people who have seen the cockpit of an airplane, and the feeling is not a bit worse than what it feels like here. Everyone thinks that this is the direction of future technological development, and now it seems that the dashboard is really outdated.

The reporters saw that all Heiyun Group engineers began to control the computers to conduct self-checks on the aircraft. This is another brand-new technology. Heiyun Group gave them too many surprises today. Many of the technologies here are ahead of this era.

But at the same time, it also made many reporters worried. Heiyun's technological leadership means that their technology is lagging behind. Now it seems that the technological generation gap between my country and Heiyun will not be able to catch up in one or two years. I must report this time well when I go back. The threat level of the Black Cloud Group cannot be underestimated and must be taken seriously.

All inspections of the Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft only take about 3 minutes. All computers on the aircraft are equipped with the most advanced chips and have outstanding computing capabilities.

After arranging for all reporters to sit down, Mike Briffen pressed the engine start button. At this time, the people in the cab couldn't feel anything, but the people on the dock were not so calm.

This was the first time they felt the sound of eight turbojet engines starting at the same time. Listening to the sound, they knew that the engine power would never be too low.

Mike Briffen said: "Warriors, we're off."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong push on his back let everyone know that he was really about to set off this time. He didn't say anything as he watched the aircraft getting faster and faster. After all, this thing was still in the test flight stage. No one can guarantee the performance, and no one would want to have such an experience if it were not for work.

When the speed reaches 100 kilometers per hour, the aircraft begins to leave the sea level and rise. The Xiangjiang Monster has two ways of flying. The first is that this kind of taxiing takeoff can only be done on the water. Another option is to take off directly, similar to how the British Harrier fighter jet takes off.

It can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages; the first type is very fuel-efficient when taking off, and can take off with a full load, but it needs to be done in the water. The second take-off method not only consumes a lot of fuel, but also the maximum take-off weight cannot exceed 500 tons; the advantage is that it can be used anytime and anywhere without any restrictions at all.

Under normal circumstances, the first method will be chosen, mainly because the second method has not been actually tested yet, and no one can guarantee its success. After all, it has only been simulated and tested so far.

As the speed became faster and faster, reporters who came to experience it actually felt that this aircraft could really fly into the sky. Bao Zixuan and Heiyun Group created a brand new means of transportation, which is a great invention.

Mike Briffen didn't dare to be too showy and just conducted a few simple routine tests. After all, there are 36 reporters here, and everyone is happy that the test flight is successful. If an accident occurs, the entire project will probably be completed.

After flying in the air for about an hour, the aircraft began to return. In fact, after a smooth flight, the brave reporter had already stood up to watch the scenery of Hong Kong. Xiangjiang is still too small. Test flights here can only be done along the coastline, otherwise they may have to fly to other cities. It seems that in the future we will still have to find a spacious place to build an aircraft factory and shipbuilding base.

During the flight, there was a piece of technology that stunned reporters. They saw that the radar scanned the obstacle ahead. The computer immediately analyzes the optimal route and will never allow any obstacles in front of the aircraft.

If every large ship and aircraft was equipped with this set of equipment, how many accidents could be avoided a year. All reporters have their own considerations in mind. It seems that Heiyun Group is not just a simple development of ground-effect aircraft. It contains a lot of high-tech technologies, but it has not been fully understood for a while.

The Xiangjiang monster stopped faster than they imagined. After all, no one thought that such a huge monster would dare to use the principle of engine reverse push to slow down. This technology has extremely high requirements on engine performance and materials. It seems that Heiyun is no weaker than any company in terms of materials.
