Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 225 Preparation
The four people in Zhang Sihan's dormitory were studying the booklet attentively, and they thought they were reading some educational books that they liked.

In fact, the two professional departments added by Dongdao Aeronautical Academy this time are mainly to train airship pilots and serve the future aerospace business.

Of course, the security company itself also needs a large number of new blood to flush out the original system.

This time, the two departments added by the School of Aeronautics will recruit students in East Island and China. It is estimated that the airship department will enroll about 2 people, and the aerospace department will also enroll 3000 people.

The airship department has majors in piloting, maintenance, and ground handling. The admissions standards are not too strict, mainly because most of the majors are civil aviation.

However, the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics is very strict, not only for undergraduates, but also for some astronauts, who have very high requirements for physical fitness.

In addition, among the air power of the East Island, those pilots or ground staff who were eliminated and cut out were also transferred to the airship department to re-learn, and they were planned to arrange for them to run transport airships.

"What are your plans, Chengye?" Some unruly young people asked Li Chengye.

"Ah Wu, what about you?" Li Chengye asked back.

Ma Wu raised his eyebrows: "I plan to change my major to astronaut major. I want to see the romance of stars and seas."

"I plan to transfer to the airship department. After all, the salary of an airship pilot starts from [-] Martian coins." Li Chengye came to the Aviation Academy before and planned to switch to civil aviation in the future.

Ma Wu was not surprised when he heard Li Chengye's decision. After all, the other party's family was relatively ordinary, and Li Chengye's family hoped that he would become a pilot in the future.

"Sihan, Gao Shan, how about you?"

Gao Shan is the youngest young man in their dormitory, he twirled his hair:
"I'd better stay and learn how to fly an airplane."

"I also intend to stay." Zhang Sihan echoed.

"Oh! In this case, let's go to dinner tonight! Maybe there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future." Ma Wu suggested.

"can."

"It's true." The three of Zhang Sihan also agreed to have dinner together.

After all, once this major is changed, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to meet in the future. After Gao Shan and Zhang Sihan graduate, they should first go to Tianhan Security for an internship; Li Chengye should be assigned to the airship transportation company; Wu, it should be to the aerospace company.

……

In order to break some regional colors, Dongdao Aeronautics College was renamed United Universe University, and transferred or merged more than a dozen universities and institutions with aerospace majors in the province.

The head office is set up in Kaohsiung City, and two branch campuses and five large research institutes are also set up in Dongdao.

Similarly, United Universe University has set up three branch campuses (Shanmei, Bazhong, and Wuwei) and five large research institutes in the mainland.

And a winter special recruitment will be held all over the country. Since the enrollment requirements of the airship department are not too high, coupled with the temptation of the high salary of Yinhe Technology, the enrollment of United Universe University is very hot all over the country.

After all, once you graduate, you can arrange to work in an airship transportation company, especially the number of applicants for ground handling and maintenance majors exceeds the enrollment quota by more than ten times.

Ground handling and maintenance majors do not need to go to the sky. The requirements for physical fitness are relatively low, and the risk is not high. Of course, the salary standard of ground handling and maintenance personnel is not as high as that of drivers, which may only be around [-] to [-].

However, Yinhe Technology's comprehensive benefits are good and the future is bright. Now many people are sharpening their heads and want to work in Yinhe Technology's enterprise.

So this time the enrollment was quite smooth.

However, people have different opinions on Yinhe Technology’s sudden establishment of a specialized aerospace higher education institution. However, Yinhe Technology’s entry into the aerospace industry is a certainty, but they don’t know what Yinhe Technology plans to do.

……

After Huang Haojie read the experiment log of the Airship Research Institute for a while, Wang Tu had already arranged his office.

"Boss, your office has been arranged."

"Let's go and have a look!"

When he came to the office, Huang Haojie nodded with satisfaction: "I've been working these few days. After half an hour, Wang Tu, call some researchers who are in charge of high-altitude airships over."

"Ok."

Huang Haojie clicked on a holographic computer, and with Zhong's assistance, he began to check various airships in the Airship Research Institute.

All kinds of airships developed by the Airship Research Institute are in the database. There are [advance-class transport airship] and [firm-class communication airship] that can be put into mass production, and many are semi-finished designs.

For example, the design proposal [Remote Sensing Airship Platform] he is looking at now.

Judging from the design plan of the Airship Research Institute, they plan to design an airship that can be at the top of the stratosphere, that is, at an altitude of about 60 kilometers.

Then use this airship platform to achieve the function of remote sensing satellite.

Theoretically, airships can go within the atmosphere, and sounding balloons can fly more than [-] to [-] kilometers, but why can't the current airships reach such a height.

The current mainstream blimps generally do not discharge helium during the ascent and descent process, but adjust the total mass by inflating and deflating the internal air bag to achieve the purpose of ascent and descent. When the height increases due to the low external pressure, the helium expands The available amount of the air bag is reduced, which will cause a decline in the adjustment ability.

When a certain height is reached, the volume inside is completely filled with helium and the limit height is reached.

If you want to go up again, you need to release part of the helium, but this will cause there is not enough helium to provide buoyancy when returning to a low altitude, and helium is expensive and generally not an emergency (uncontrolled accidental ascent causes the airbag to be about to Explosion and the like) will not be released casually.

Therefore, the flying height of general blimps is in the range of several hundred meters to 2000 meters according to the size and strength of the designed airbags.

When climbing over a mountain, you need to find a place halfway up the mountain to release part of the helium, and then refill the helium halfway down the mountain.

Therefore, there are usually a bunch of vehicles on the long-distance transfer ground of airships to provide helium, anchoring, maintenance and other guarantees.

Of course, Yinhe Technology doesn't need much trouble, because they use hydrogen.

In addition, the Airship Research Institute and the Materials Research Institute have cooperated to develop a hydrogen curing catalyst that can store hydrogen in a solid state (metal hydrogen). In addition, metal hydrogen mixed with this hydrogen curing catalyst is not available. explosive properties.

When hydrogen needs to be replenished, the hydrogen solidification catalyst can be reversely stimulated to make the metal hydrogen return to a gaseous state.

After adopting a hard structure, this remote sensing airship platform can theoretically reach the top of the middle layer of the atmosphere, which is about 85 kilometers above sea level.

However, considering the weight of the airship itself, it may be difficult to achieve the top of the middle layer at an altitude of 85 kilometers, but the top of the stratosphere itself at an altitude of about 60 kilometers, or the bottom of the middle layer is worth a try.

Huang Haojie operated a holographic projection to make modifications beyond recognition to the remote sensing airship platform of the Airship Research Institute.

He sacrificed the maneuverability of this airship platform, only retaining its lifting ability and very slow translation ability.
