Universe dominance

(Sweat, there was a major mistake in the previous chapter. The area of ​​the airport was written by 10,000 words, 50,000 square kilometers. Thanks to the book friends for pointing it out in time, it has been revised.)

Here at the Aerospace Plane Research Institute of the Aerospace Center of the Fuyun Group Space Exploration Company in Longling Town, Li Fu, Yu Liang, Chen Bin, Cao Haitao, and Yang Yiping are all wearing white coats, followed by a huge team of hundreds of people. At this time, they are surrounding Flying around with a huge aerospace plane.

This huge aerospace plane was manufactured by the company based on the previous one. No matter the specification, size, or internal structure, it was exactly the same, but its performance was so much worse that even Li Fu didn't dare to let it go. People go on test flights because there are too many problems with the plasma engine during testing.

Not only is the thrust far lower than the aerospace planes manufactured by the country, but it is also very unstable. It is obvious that although the same technology and the same materials are used, the things produced are one in the sky and one on the ground. One of them can travel to and from space frequently, but the other one doesn't even have the courage to test fly.

"Brother Fu, this is our imitation aerospace plane. Although it looks similar, the inside is very different."

Chen Bin shook his head and introduced to Li Fu that when he participated in the research on the "Arrow" fighter jet, he didn't find it difficult. Now that he is building everything by himself, he realizes how difficult it is.

"It is quite difficult to imitate. The key now is the processing accuracy of the core engine blades, and the overall performance of the aerospace aircraft. As for other problems, some minor problems are not difficult to solve."

Yu Liang also sighed. Although this fake aerospace plane seemed unable to take off, Chen Bin and others spent more than 5 billion Chinese dollars to imitate it. It can be said that it was made of gold, and among them I also encountered countless difficulties, and it was not easy to overcome them one by one.

"Actually, I think even if we improve the processing accuracy and increase the yield rate of material processing to an acceptable level, it is still unrealistic to control the cost within 1 billion. I don't think we can follow the old path. We should find a new path on our own, one that can greatly reduce the cost of aerospace aircraft.”

Cao Haitao touched his chin, thought carefully in his mind, and spoke slowly.

"Keep talking."

When Li Fu heard this, he immediately became interested. Li Fu boasted to the country that as long as he was allowed to produce aerospace aircraft, he could sell it to the country for 1 billion Chinese dollars. If he produced it according to the current method There is definitely no way to reduce the cost of an aerospace plane to less than 1 billion Chinese dollars.

What's more, Li Fu wants to make money by selling aerospace planes in the future. According to the company's consistent principles, something worth 1 yuan must be sold at least a hundred times before it can be considered a high-tech enterprise. This 1 billion Chinese yuan The cost of selling space planes to the country must be controlled within tens of millions of Chinese dollars, or at least within 100 million Chinese dollars.

"Except for the core plasma engine, the aerospace aircraft has more than 50,000 parts and components, and the production processes are different and very complicated. In addition, the assembly is very complex and time-consuming. When the core plasma engine is included, it becomes even more complicated.”

"Such a huge project, and it is very important, there can be no mistakes. If we still manufacture it according to the previous production methods and methods, it will be difficult to reduce the cost, so we must use a brand new ideas and methods to design and manufacture aerospace aircraft.”

Cao Haitao carefully sorted out the words in his mind, and then spoke slowly.

"In the history of the development of automobiles, when automobiles first appeared, they were exclusive to rich and powerful people, and ordinary people could not afford them at all. Until the Ford Model T appeared, the manufacturing cost of automobiles was greatly reduced, even for ordinary people. They can also afford cars, and cars are gradually becoming available to ordinary families.”

"In fact, our aerospace plane can also refer to the ideas of Ford Motor Manufacturing to redesign the aerospace plane. Don't be troubled by the previous ideas. Use a new modular design as boldly as possible to greatly reduce the number of aerospace planes. Only in this way can we greatly reduce the cost of aerospace aircraft.”

Cao Haitao used the virtual machine on his wrist to project all the ideas in his mind. On a huge display, Cao Haitao tried to change the shape of the aerospace plane, removing the wings and making the aerospace plane look fatter. , becomes thicker and looks a bit nondescript.

"This is my initial idea. If we can remove the wings of the aerospace plane, the number of parts for the two wings alone can be reduced by more than 5,000."

"In fact, the most important thing for the aerospace plane in the future is to be used in space. In space, the shape design of the aerospace plane does not need to consider air issues at all, so we can make the design as simple and practical as possible."

While everyone listened to Cao Haitao's speech, they carefully considered Cao Haitao's ideas about new ideas for aerospace aircraft.

"Cao Haitao is still very thoughtful. His current thinking has a tendency to classify aerospace aircraft. In fact, if these aerospace aircraft continue to develop, they will continue to be classified according to their functions. They can be roughly divided into two categories. One is One type is an aerospace aircraft specially used to travel to and from the ground, and the other is an aerospace aircraft specially used in space.”

"Aerospace aircraft that travel to and from the ground naturally still need to consider air resistance and buoyancy issues. There are relatively more issues to consider during design and are more difficult; aerospace aircraft that are specifically used in space can no longer be called aerospace aircraft. The spacecraft should be called a spacecraft. Because this type of aircraft does not need to enter the planet, the most important considerations in its design are space capacity, maneuverability, and thrust. "

In his mind, Li Fu combined the development history of future spacecraft in the seeds of super civilization, so he naturally knew the future development direction of aerospace aircraft. Now that he heard Cao Haitao say this, he couldn't help but give Cao Haitao a thumbs up.

"I think Cao Haitao's idea is very correct. Our goal is to use the aerospace plane as a car, greatly reducing the cost of the aerospace plane, so that ordinary people in China can afford the aerospace plane in the future, and Able to fly a space plane freely to and from space and the earth.”

Li Fu praised Cao Haitao's ideas. Many things need to be clarified first, so that there will be goals for future development.

In fact, Li Fu wants to use anti-gravity technology. If anti-gravity technology is used, there is no need to consider aerodynamics, air, or even a runway.

However, Li Fu doesn't want to bring out anti-gravity technology too early. His team is still too immature now. However, they will first study aerospace aircraft to practice, and their own company will also accumulate experience first. After a few years, everything will be ready. When we are all relatively mature, we will bring out the anti-gravity technology, and everything will fall into place by then.

…

After determining the new ideas and future development direction, Li Fu also spent time in the aerospace aircraft research department every day, leading the team to redesign the new aerospace aircraft.

Li Fu also wants to manufacture aerospace planes on a large scale as soon as possible and reduce the cost of aerospace planes to less than 100 million Chinese dollars. On the one hand, Li Fu naturally needs a large number of aerospace planes to develop his own space power. One aspect is to greatly promote the entry of Chinese private forces into the space industry.

With Li Fu joining the team, all the problems were no longer a problem. The problem of material processing accuracy that had troubled the team for a long time. On the one hand, Li Fu recruited several top experts in the field of material processing through Liu Shiying to join. Another aspect is to combine the scientific and technological knowledge in the material processing field of the super-civilized Han Technological Empire.

In less than a month, the material processing accuracy has been greatly improved. Although I dare not say that it will surpass the most advanced level in the West at once, at least the processing accuracy has reached the international first-class level. Of course, the more important thing is the processing yield. greatly improved.

In the past, we could say that the yield rate was a few percent, but soon it was changed to a scrap rate of a few percent. Not to mention other things, for this alone, the cost of the entire aerospace aircraft was instantly reduced to about 1 billion Chinese dollars. .

However, Li Fu and others are obviously not satisfied with this. The goal of the entire team is to design a cheaper and more reliable aerospace aircraft.
