God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 427 Proposal Demonstration Meeting

April 27, [-].

Infinity Corporation Headquarters Building.

In the multifunctional meeting room of the academic committee, the heat generated by nearly [-] people made the whole room steamy.

The staff had to turn on the central air conditioner to allow the seventeen-degree cold wind to balance the temperature.

At the request of Director Gu, Infinity Company dispatched all security personnel to seal off the upper and lower floors where the conference room is located.

No one is allowed to pass, except researchers associated with the conference.

The expert team brought by Director Gu this time is not only from the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, but also from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Space Technology, and several other aerospace departments.

Among them, the aerospace aircraft research team secretly established by the state is also included.

The country is extremely eager for aerospace aircraft. As early as [-], this research and development department was quietly established to specialize in theoretical research and actual research and development of aerospace aircraft.

In China, only a few people know the existence of such a research group.

The family members of these researchers only knew that their husbands had participated in a top-secret research project, but they didn't know where they went, what the research was, or when they would come back.

In fact, they all went to Baijing, the National Comprehensive Research Base.

Using the supercomputer interface provided by Infinity Corporation, the national aerospace aircraft project team has done a lot of research.

The intelligence department and the Secret Service have painstakingly obtained information from abroad, as well as the latest materials, engines, and processing technology developments of other foreign research units, and they are also sent to them as soon as possible.

It is hoped that they can make some progress in their research work.

However, the progress of their research has not been smooth.

Fuselage design, aerodynamic layout, navigation system, life support system, etc., these general aerospace problems, relying on decades of domestic research accumulation, it is not difficult to come up with a set of safe solutions.

However, the most critical power system has never been resolved.

An aerospace plane needs to take off from the ground like an ordinary plane.

After that, at the speed of a supersonic jet, it will rush to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, and finally, it will reach the first cosmic speed, break away from the gravity of the earth, and enter outer space.

Such a complicated flight process, even an outsider who is not familiar with it, knows that it cannot be solved by a single power system.

To take off like an ordinary plane, a turbine engine is needed to allow the plane to accelerate from zero to below Mach [-]. To reach an altitude of tens of thousands of meters at supersonic speed, a ramjet engine is needed to increase the speed to Mach [-].

Finally, when leaving the atmosphere, a rocket engine is needed to fly at least hundreds of kilometers without oxygen.

In order to solve these problems, the project team worked hard, but the progress was still slow.

After a long period of research, they finally admitted that with the current level of technology, the best way is to give up the idea of ​​taking off from the ground like the Americans, and use large transport aircraft to bring the aerospace plane to high altitude and launch it from high altitude.

Such a method is feasible and feasible.

But the ensuing problem is that it will inevitably reduce the carrying capacity of aerospace aircraft.

Its practicality will be greatly reduced.

Yesterday they received a notice to go to South China City, Infinity Company to hold a program demonstration meeting, and all the researchers were taken aback.

Did the country hand over this project to the National Aerospace Plane Project Team and Infinity Corporation at the same time to compete?

Isn't it just a few years since Infinity's launch vehicle went to the sky, and the development of manned space vehicles can be carried out so soon?

It is not just the National Aerospace Plane Project Team that has this idea.

Experts in the aerospace sector also hold the same view: Infinity's technology accumulation in the aerospace field is just a newborn.

Aeroplane?

It is quite remarkable that they can come up with a civil aviation regional airliner!
Most of the people in the domestic aerospace port know each other. After all, as the crystallization of cutting-edge technology, the number of truly outstanding astronauts is always limited.

Even if they haven't met, most of them have heard the other person's name and know what his research direction is.

They were surprised to find that many old acquaintances in the National Aerospace Plane Project Team, who disappeared many years ago, suddenly appeared here, and sat alone with them, separated from them.

Many people immediately guessed that they must have taken over some top-secret engineering project.

Therefore, only a few people greeted them loudly, while others just smiled and nodded slightly at them.

People from Infinity Company are also talking about it.

The participants in this meeting were basically a group of researchers transferred from Africa, and all of them were Chinese.

They are used to being casual in Africa, discussing with each other recent issues, technical difficulties, and the upcoming prototype production testing.

With the conference table in the middle as the boundary, the researchers of Infinity Corporation and the expert group of the aerospace department who came to participate in the technical appraisal were divided into two parts.

The noisy conference room is like a free market.

Chen Weidong accompanied Director Gu and an officer of the final assembly, talking and laughing into the conference room.

This officer is the leader of the final assembly who participated in the review of the flight simulator last time. He came this time mainly to serve as the moderator of the meeting.

It exists as a neutral party between the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and Infinity Corporation.

It was not the first time for everyone to meet. After a little politeness, the officer of the final assembly sat at the top of the arc of the oval conference table. Chen Weidong and Director Gu sat on both sides of him.

When all the personnel arrived, the voice in the conference room gradually became quieter. To be precise, many people belonged to the military industry system. Even scientific researchers still had some discipline. Gradually, the conference room became quiet, waiting for the meeting. start.

The officer stood up, nodded to the surrounding scientists with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't be cautious, everyone. We will pretend to be spectators in today's meeting, so I will make a long story short."

"Everyone should know that what we are attending today is the aerospace plane program report meeting proposed by Infinity Corporation. Of course, I don't know what progress their specific research has reached. To be honest, I don't know."

"However, without diamonds, I dare not take on porcelain work. Since Infinity Company dares to step forward, it must have confidence."

"Then, let's invite the president of Infinity Corporation, Mr. Chen Weidong, to introduce their aerospace aircraft research to us. Please applaud!"

After speaking, he was the first to applaud.

The meeting room was instantly covered with applause.

The researchers of Infinity Company by the window received the warmest applause. They all respected this famous boss from the bottom of their hearts.

The people in the aerospace department also applauded, but their applause was more of a courtesy, not enthusiastic, and stopped soon.

To be honest, they really couldn't cheer up this report meeting, and they didn't have any hope for the quality of the report meeting.

Chen Weidong stood up, nodded to his own researchers and the expert group of the aerospace department, and then said: "Thank you to the leaders of the General Assembly, the leaders of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, and the seniors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Space Technology and other units, Colleagues, come to our company in spite of your busy schedule, listen to our aerospace aircraft research report, and guide our research work."

"For this, on behalf of Infinity, I would like to express my deep gratitude!"

Representatives of the General Assembly Department, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and all the experts applauded more enthusiastically than before.

Chen Weidong's posture was very low, which satisfied everyone present.

After finishing the polite words, Chen Weidong got to the point: "Aerospace aircraft, everyone here knows more than us, so I won't go out of my way to talk about the minutiae."

"However, I still want to review, why do we need an aerospace plane, and where is its necessity compared to rockets and space shuttles?"

"Mankind has dreamed of flying to the sky since ancient times. Chang'e's flight to the moon and Verne's moon cannon are all concrete manifestations of this spirit."

"The space flight methods we have now are nothing more than rockets and space shuttles."

"But both methods require a fixed launch site, thousands of personnel to assist, maintain the launch site, and equip various expensive instruments and equipment."

"At present, rockets are still disposable consumables. Although the space shuttle can be partially recovered and reused, its actual launch cost is higher than that of rockets."

"What's more serious is that both of these methods will leave a large amount of residue in outer space. As the amount of residue increases, it will increasingly affect the safety of outer space vehicles."

"If things go on like this, sooner or later, we humans will be sealed up on this planet by the fragments we made, and become frogs sitting in a well, looking at the vast universe and sighing in vain."

The researchers on both sides nodded slightly.

It's just that everyone didn't pay much attention to some artistically processed space remnants in Chen Weidong's words.

Although there are more and more remnants in space, they have not yet reached the point where human beings look at the sky and sigh.

The reason why countries vigorously develop aerospace aircraft is more due to the cost factor.

In order to build an international space station, Lao Mei has to be dragged to Europe, as well as old friend Mao Russia, to do it together.

This price can be said to be high.

Huaxia wanted to participate in the exploration of international space, but they didn't invite us at all. Not only were they indifferent, but they also consciously hindered our sounding development and snatched and sabotaged our satellite launch mission.

If the country wants to build its own space station, it is also a choice made in desperation.

The rocket has insufficient carrying capacity, and a launch needs to be prepared several months in advance, and it is also affected by the weather.

Although the space shuttle has a strong carrying capacity, the cost is too high for us to use it. This is the main reason for developing aerospace aircraft.
