Supersonic drones, do you think they will be used to deliver express delivery?

Chapter 21 Let’s fly to the nine heavens, Kunpeng!
  "The takeoff runway is cleared!"

"Good take-off condition."

On the cement track next to the Z playground.

Two young men in down jackets were making final preparations.

On both sides of the runway, the students from Z University all stopped in their tracks.

"What it is?"

"It looks like a model airplane."

"No, whose plane has such a shape?"

"It looks like a transport plane."

People gathered around curiously, but they all actively kept their distance.

A senior student completed the final inspection and reported the results to Chen Mo in the exhibition hall via mobile phone.

"All preparations have been completed and it is ready to take off at any time."

In the Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition Hall.

Chen Mo nodded when he heard this.

"okay, I get it."

He put down his phone and synchronized the Kunpeng drone's camera with VR glasses.

There was a crowd of people outside the exhibition hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two display screens at this moment.

"He really made it?!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Hui was still dubious.

"Is it just a model, or is it impossible to reach supersonic speeds?"

He asked Zhang Wenhai.

But after waiting for a long time, Zhang Wenhai didn't answer him.

He turned around and saw the young man standing next to him, with a look of extreme shock on his face.

"Do you think he'll succeed?"

Wang Hui pushed Zhang Wenhai.

"what?"

The latter came back to his senses and remembered what Wang Hui had asked just now, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

"I do not know either."

"Depending on the situation, they should have only gone through wind tunnel testing before, and there was no real test flight."

"Whether it will be successful or not, I can't say."

The shock in Zhang Wenhai's heart cannot be described in words.

Regardless of whether the drone was successful or not.

When it comes to memory composite metals alone, Chen Mo is proud enough.

"He's only a junior, right?"

Zhang Wenhai asked.

Wang Hui didn't know what he meant by asking, so he nodded: "Yes, a junior in the Department of Mechanical Engineering... What, you like him and want to recommend him to your tutor?"

He knew that Zhang Wenhai and his overseas tutor had recommended several students from Z University before.

Later, those students were poached by the Ivy League at high prices, and now they are in some overseas research laboratories.

Zhang Wenhai didn't have this idea at first, but Wang Hui said so.

“I know an Ivy League professor in aerodynamics.”

"I think you and he have only met a couple of times. Why do you do this?"

Wang Hui couldn't help but be curious.

Many people want to go abroad but there is no such way.

Zhang Wenhai's recommendation can make many people lose their heads for it.

"I think if today's test flight is successful, many foreign laboratories will take notice of Chen Mo."

"Chen Mo's future will also change as a result. Of course, I will also gain some benefits."

"Of course, I don't want such talents to be wasted. With the current technology of China, he will not make any progress in the future."

He said this without any scruples.

Then he looked at Chen Mo on the booth with a smile.

He didn't notice the displeasure on Wang Hui's face.

Wang Hui knew before that Zhang Wenhai got the lighthouse's blue card half a year ago.

From that moment on, no, maybe from the very beginning, Zhang Wenhai did not consider himself a Chinese.

……

"Academician Meng, do you think it will be successful?"

Zhou Rui was worried and asked softly in Meng Zhenhua's ear.

Although such a question was embarrassing, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

After all, many of the people present were prominent figures from China.

If Chen Mo's drone fails to take off or crashes midway, it will be fatal to Z's reputation.

Meng Zhenhua turned around after hearing this.

"Shouldn't you ask your teacher this question?"

"Uh, this..."

Zhou Rui laughed dryly.

at this time!

A roar suddenly came from the speakers.

Everyone stopped the discussion involuntarily and turned their heads to stare at the screen attentively. “Kunpeng 1 left the runway!”

Lin Yu and a group of seniors responsible for monitoring data sat in front of the computer.

"The engine starts normally!"

"Acceleration is normal!"

As Chen Mo controlled the operating lever, he slowly accelerated.

The speed of the drone on the runway gradually increased.

"Acceleration is normal... take-off posture..."

The seniors present could not help but hold their breath and concentrate.

I saw the front end of the drone slowly raising its head.

"Go fly to the nine heavens, Kunpeng!"

Chen Mo thought silently in his heart.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a harsh roar.

Kunpeng drone soars into the sky.

"Landing gear retracted... Landing gear retracted normally...!"

"Flying speed increases, flying height increases!"

Inside the booth.

Sweat broke out on Lin Yu's forehead, and his palms were wet.

fly!

Finally took off!
  But there were no cheers at the scene, only rapid breathing could be heard.

The drone took off.

But this does not mean that the test flight was successful.

speed!

Supersonic speed!

"The speed is increased to 200 kilometers...300 kilometers, and the altitude is 3,000 meters, 3,500 meters!"

"There is no abnormality in the aircraft body and the flying posture is good!"

As the senior students reported the data, Lin Yu was so nervous that he couldn't help himself.

He turned to look at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo still sat there calmly, concentrating on controlling the drone.

But Lin Yu noticed that a drop of sweat slowly fell on Chen Mo's forehead.

He is also nervous.

How could I not be nervous?

Even if Chen Mo knew it, there wouldn't be any problems.

But he still couldn't restrain his inner excitement.

"The takeoff attitude is good. We will see how the aircraft's body condition is when it breaks through Mach 1."

Even Meng Zhenhua couldn't help but become nervous at this moment.

Principal Zhou Rui took a deep breath, and he suddenly realized that there seemed to be no sound around him.

Turn around and look.

Lin Yunteng, chairman of Forty Avenue Group, couldn't help but move forward.

Ye Yiyi, who was still questioning Chen Mo just now, put her hands together on her chest and looked straight at the screen with her big eyes.

"The speed reaches 800 kilometers, and the power system is normal!"

The senior who reported the data could not help but raise his voice a lot.

"The flight altitude is 12,000 meters, and the aircraft body is normal!"

Everyone couldn't help but get excited at this moment.

The speed reached 800 kilometers and the altitude was 9,000 meters!

This is the speed and altitude of the latest large-scale drone from the Lighthouse Country.

That's a big thing that the lighthouse spent 6.4 million to build.

Zhang Wenhai took a deep breath, took out his mobile phone and turned on the camera device.

The three Dongzhong people outside the crowd looked at this scene in stunned silence.

"Is this the Chinese creating a miracle?"

"Lord, China has actually developed a drone with the same performance as a lighthouse. How much does this drone cost?"

They were shocked.

However, it is not over yet.

Chen Mo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Wearing VR glasses, he feels like he is controlling the plane on the scene.

I saw him slowly leaning forward to control.

Suddenly, there was an air explosion sound coming from the speakers at the scene.

Then, everyone clearly heard a high-pitched shout.

"The speed exceeds Mach 1, the altitude is 15,000 meters, and the aircraft is traveling normally!"

"boom!"

The audience was completely silent!
