Chapter 824: Industry is not optimistic

Of course, the Bald Eagle country will not just let it go, but these companies in the Bald Eagle country are not optimistic about the prospects of the Internet.

Although it seems that online games are starting to make profits, the scale is too small. The World of Warcraft game company earns more than 100 million US dollars each month, which seems to be a lot, but it is insignificant compared to the huge investment.

Niu Niu also has European network equipment, all of which are purchased from Panda Computer Company.

If Bald Eagle produces these devices itself, the investment will be 50% higher than the European network.

And now the only profitable things on the Internet are traffic and word games.

Although the Bald Eagle government wanted to promote network construction, it did not have much money to get private capital to join. However, private capital gave up after conducting a survey.

Because the prospects are too uncertain and the investment is too huge, the amount of investment required to connect all the big cities in Bald Eagle with the Internet is beyond imagination.

The main reason is that the area of ​​​​the Bald Eagle is too large, and even connecting major cities will require a considerable investment.

Unless the Bald Eagle government is willing to provide subsidies, but the Bald Eagle government will also shake its head after seeing the budget.

Because the focus of the Bald Eagle government now is on the fat bear on the one hand, and on dealing with possible conflicts on the other.

The Bald Eagle is actually in a difficult situation now, as its own warship was attacked.

If you don't respond, it will be a huge embarrassment, so the Bald Eagle has no choice but to send the aircraft carrier.

However, the Bald Eagle asked the aircraft carrier to move slower and conduct more reconnaissance to guard against possible attacks at any time.

The bald eagle also knows how chaotic that area is right now, with flying scooters flying all over the sky.

The origin of the flying scooters is very complicated. Some are produced by ourselves, while others are produced by others.

The Bald Eagle also knew that its aircraft carrier might come under attack, so it had to cut spending elsewhere just in case.

The Bald Eagle went to the Middle East this time with the intention of further controlling energy. On the one hand, it was aimed at the stubborn elements in the Middle East, and on the other hand, it also wanted to intimidate the Niu Niu dealers.

Because of Fat Bear's current condition, the Bald Eagle experts also realized that Fat Bear was already terminally ill.

So the bald eagle must prepare to take over the world, while maintaining the world status of the US dollar.

Although I am afraid, this action is necessary.

So everyone saw the Bald Eagle's aircraft carrier slowly moving towards its destination starting from its home, and broadcasting the distance to its destination every day.

What it means is that I'm coming, so you better be careful and don't hit me.

Many countries in the world have also seen how chaotic the Babylonian and Persian kingdoms are now.

On average, more than 100 ships are attacked there every year, so many shipping companies do not go to that area now.

On July 1987, 7, the first C1 twin-engine narrow-body long-range passenger aircraft prototype was officially rolled out of the factory.

The main leaders of the factory and the leaders of the competent departments looked at the plane and applauded.

This aircraft uses Rolls-Royce technology and a high bypass ratio engine manufactured by Heshun Aero Engine Company.

Strictly speaking, it is not an entirely independently designed aircraft, as the engine is not independently designed.

But this is very normal in the aviation industry. Airbus, Boeing, and McDonnell Douglas also use engines from other companies. There are currently four major aircraft engine manufacturers in the world.

Pratt & Whitney, General Motors, Rolls-Royce, Heshun, and of course Feixiong also have civil aviation engines, but they have not joined this circle yet.

Historically, Fat Bear's aircraft also obtained European flight permission and airworthiness certificate, but no one bought it because it also had the iconic three engines.

HP, GM and Rolls-Royce do not take Heshun aircraft engines seriously at the moment.

Because no matter whether it is GM or Rolls-Royce that transfers the technology to Heshun Aero Engine Company, there are restrictions on its sales in other countries outside of the Eastern countries.

GM's engine technology was transferred along with the McDonnell Douglas 10 series aircraft.

This plane does not look as big as the DC10 wide-body aircraft, and its shape appears to be more slender.

"Mr. Liu, congratulations!"

"Engineer Liu, congratulations!" The leaders shook hands with Liu Hai one after another. Of course, they didn't just shake hands with Liu Hai, but also with the entire project team.

"Thank you for the compliment, leader!"

"Thank you for the compliment, leader!" Liu Hai felt his mouth was numb from smiling.

Not far from the factory is the test flight runway. One more thing to do today is ground taxiing.

Ground crews began an initial check of the aircraft and then refueled it.

The personnel on the tower also looked at the plane and began to give orders.

The two engines started successfully one after the other, and the pilot reported the current situation of the aircraft based on various instruments in the cockpit.

Both pilots held thick flight manuals in their hands.

The aircraft startup must also follow the steps in the flight manual.

And now the commanders in the tower are also looking at the thick flight manual.

This is different from an ordinary tower.

Only after the pilot reported that everything was going well did the ground crew remove the obstacles in front and behind the aircraft's tires.

All personnel evacuated to a safe area, and then the pilot received the order to taxi.

The pilot repeated the order and began to operate the aircraft.

Anyway, it's just step by step, and the actual operation is very boring and cumbersome.

Under the gaze of everyone, the large passenger plane began to taxi and then turned around smoothly.

Everyone applauded again, and the initial gliding test was successful.

The subsequent process is too complicated and time-consuming.

The aircraft has both fly-by-wire and hydraulic control modes.

This is also standard equipment on modern passenger aircraft.

After this taxiing test, everyone stood in front of the plane to take pictures.

Liu Hai got another commemorative medal!

The front of the commemorative medal has a blue background and a white plane climbing with the words C101 on the fuselage.

On the back of the medal there is also the message: Commemorating the first C101 prototype leaving the factory and completing preliminary ground taxiing tests.

The last was July 1987, 7.

The participants also had a C101 aircraft model.

The news was officially broadcast on the 7 o'clock news in the evening.

My junior sister had already been sitting in front of the TV waiting.

Host: According to our news, my country's independently designed C101 civil airliner completed its initial taxiing test today.

The appearance of C101 broke many records in my country and marked the official entry of my country into the field of civil airliner manufacturing.

While the host was speaking, a photo of C101 appeared on the TV program.

There was no video or anything.

Aircraft manufacturers around the world were shocked by the news.

What are some Eastern countries doing?

You just got someone else's technology and you're designing your own aircraft just a few days ago? Do you really think designing an aircraft is just like playing house?
To see how difficult it is to operate civil aviation aircraft, just look around the world in 2020.

The systems and safety of civil airliners are much better than those of fighter jets.

After all, there are at least a few hundred people on a civil airliner.

Of course, this does not apply to Boeing in 2020. This guy started to mess around by relying on his monopoly on the market.

The junior sister looked at the commemorative medal in her hand and felt very satisfied.

Liu Hai looked at his junior sister's young appearance. His junior sister is now at the most beautiful age.

Every frown and smile is captivating.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" The junior sister felt embarrassed by Liu Hai's gaze, so she glanced at Liu Hai sideways and then asked.

"Junior sister, you are so beautiful!"

"Oh, that's too corny!" When the junior sister suddenly heard the sweet words said by Liu Hai, her face turned red.

Liu Hai chuckled, and the three children standing next to him pretended not to hear.

"I'm going to do my homework!"

"I'm going to do my homework too. I'm going to Hainan soon!"

"Dad, did you also design this plane?" The third child stood up and asked.

"Children, don't worry about adults' affairs. Hurry and do your homework." Liu Hai said unhappily.

"Hmph!" The third youngest looked unconvinced.

The next day, the newspapers disclosed the parameters of the aircraft in more detail.

Other companies in the world would curl their lips when they see these parameters!

Bald Eagle's aviation expert even publicly stated in a TV interview: This plane has no comfort at all, there is no market for such a cheap plane, just like it is impossible for us to take a bus from the East Coast to the West Coast.

Host: So why do some Eastern countries produce this kind of aircraft?

Expert: Because the per capita income in some Eastern countries is relatively low, they have to adopt this method, but this aircraft is definitely not suitable for our developed countries.

Imagine taking a hard-seat bus from New York to Los Angeles, oh my god!

Host: Sir, do you mean that this plane is only suitable for their Eastern countries?

Expert: That's for sure, host, would you take such a plane to travel? Do we need to stay in a good mood when we travel?

Host: I don’t think so.

Expert: From the perspective of some Eastern countries, on the one hand they want to meet domestic civil aviation needs, and on the other hand they want to reduce prices, so this type of aircraft is the most appropriate.

But as a developed country like ours, this type of aircraft is simply not suitable.

Of course, I think it would be very difficult for their country's aircraft to obtain our country's test flight certificate and flight permit.

Even if their aircraft obtains our country's test flight certificate and flight license, it is very likely that there will be no market for it.

It's not very likely, there is absolutely no market!
More than one aviation expert has come out to say that this type of aircraft is only suitable for certain Eastern countries. Even some European aviation experts have said that wide-body passenger aircraft will be the mainstream in the future, and those who can travel long distances will simply not be able to take such an aircraft.

International public opinion was overwhelming, but this did not affect the testing of C101 at all.

On July 1987, 7, Liu Hai set out for Hainan again.

"Grandpa!" After getting off the car, Xingxing was the first to run out.

The old leader looked at Xingxing running over and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Grandpa, I brought you some potato chips, which I love, and some pea yellow..." Xingxing showed her schoolbag to the old leader.

"Oh, Xingxing has grown into a big girl now. She knows how to bring gifts for Grandpa!"

"I can also write and I can also count."

"Old leader!" Liu Hai and others came soon after.

"Grandpa!" Dabao, Erbao, Liu Chengcai and the others came over.

"Good! Good!" The old leader was very happy looking at Liu Hai's large family. After all, this was the first time he got to know Liu Hai, who could be considered an orphan. Although he had adoptive parents, they were no longer around.

It can be said that it is the current society that allows Liu Hai to have such a large family.

The temperature in the mountains of Hainan is quite comfortable, so when Liu Hai arrives here it's like a vacation.

Occasionally I go out to fish in the nearby reservoir. Although the old leader is old, he still watches the news and listens to people reading newspapers every day.

"The reason you built this plane is to make it possible for ordinary people to board it." The old leader fully agreed with Liu Hai's decision to go the low-cost airline route.

"Old leader, when the weather gets cooler, you will be able to see this plane at the test base in Hainan." Liu Hai said with a smile.

"Then I'd like to take a good look at this plane!"

“In fact, there are more poor people in this world!”

"What you said makes sense. We should not just focus on serving the rich, we should also consider the poor."

"That's what the old leader said."

Liu Hai found that his old leader was becoming more and more energetic, and he wondered if it was the influence of the conversation last year.

When Liu Hai was on vacation in Hainan, good news came from C101: its first flight test was successful.

When the C101 began flight testing, the Kyoto Motorcycle Factory could see the test aircraft, which sometimes took off and landed several times a day.

Many foreign reporters took their cameras and took pictures from places where they could see the planes.

However, foreign airlines did not show any vigilance towards this aircraft.

Because this aircraft is fundamentally different from the current mainstream, it can be said to go against the direction of aircraft development.

Nowadays, airplanes are becoming more and more luxurious and bigger.

Historically, Airbus launched the A1988 development program in 380.

Even Boeing 747 is ambitiously launching the next generation 747!

In 2020, Boeing announced the discontinuation of 747, which is something people today could not have imagined.

Liu Hai is standing on the top of the mountain from now on. This plane will develop from now on and the road will get better and better.

In the end, it will be able to surpass the other two aircraft manufacturers.

Foreign aircraft manufacturers are not at all vigilant, which is exactly what Liu Hai wants.

If we were to build an aircraft like the A380 now, believe it or not, it might not be easy to get an airworthiness certificate in Europe.

Liu Hai even thought boldly that maybe C101 could get the airworthiness certificate and flight permit for the bald eagle.

Because the entire industry is not optimistic about this aircraft now, maybe the bald eagle wants to come out and show off how free it is.

Liu Hai admitted that what the aviation experts said made sense, it was impossible to take the bus from Los Angeles to New York.

But how many hours does it take to fly from New York to Los Angeles?

Low-cost airlines also have another advantage, which is that as long as there are enough people, they can fly directly without having to transfer.

I believe that anyone who has taken a plane knows the pain of connecting flights. Originally, the distance from one city to another in a province might be hundreds of kilometers, but the plane has to fly to a coastal city and then come back.
