When the plane landed, Mu Xinghai felt nothing except a little tired.
The aircraft was naturally torn into pieces, and the engineers trained by the master company were carefully checking every detail.
Although the flight time of 12 times the speed of sound is only a few minutes, the data is extremely precious. This is the highest speed of an aircraft in the atmosphere on earth (except for those crazy electromagnetic rail guns); therefore, although the master company has paid a lot for this The price is high, and this aircraft may be scrapped again, but it provides a foundation for future development.
In the internal discussion meeting of the master company, the development direction of future aircraft was clearly determined: according to the existing data, combat in the atmosphere will still be the mainstream for at least a hundred years. Space technology still needs to be improved, and it is expensive. Let the development of space technology be extremely slow; after more than ten years, everyone will find that the crazy space competition in the past ten years has actually emptied every coin of the country.
Many people believe that the development of space technology, after experiencing the initial madness and expansion, will be like the development of aircraft. Due to various reasons, whether it is technology or finance, there will be a phase of relaxation, and this This stage will also be the last chance for developing countries to catch up.
But this is not the case within Gaoshou Company. As the top management of Gaoshou Company, 16 people clearly stated that under this development model similar to cheating, the development of Gaoshou Company will be incremental, and it does not even rule out the next ten years. Years later, due to sufficient accumulation, there will be a spurt of development; therefore, we have to consider the future now.
In the future, the development of space will be dominated by large-scale space bases and self-replicating space factories. In terms of transportation, we can learn from the three-dimensional transportation conditions on the ground, land, sea and air. In the atmosphere, the development of aircraft will develop in a more flexible and faster direction.
In addition, Zhao Qingyun, who has been committed to the safety of the master company, asked: Can we try to design a mecha? Although many countries now have their own robots, even robots that can be driven manually, these technologies are too far away from real mecha technology! It can even be said that there is no entry at all.
The existing human-driving robots might as well be said to be a living target! Slow and cumbersome, it symbolizes far more than military significance.
Zhao Qingyun obviously wants to create real mecha technology. The basic requirements of this technology are: flexible and light, at least not bulkier than a human, fast movement, powerful firepower, and thick skin and flesh. But mechas have a key technology: drive technology, and so far the whole world is at a loss. Any existing driving technology cannot meet the needs of mecha design. This is already a problem recognized by the world. The first point of the technology that is transmitted through hydraulic or pneumatic is: in high-speed and high-intensity movements, the reliability is poor! As for electric transmission, it is somewhat unable to meet the powerful and flexible transmission requirements.
In the end, this project was temporarily shelved by Gaoshou Company and was not considered. But building an aircraft within the atmosphere is an indisputable result.
In a hurry, the winter of 2046 came, and the new aircraft of Gaoshou Company, Dream No. 02, was officially finalized and produced successfully. Observers from more than 200 countries came once again.
Although there were many problems in the last flight test, they only occurred after exceeding 12 times the speed of sound. In fact, at 10 times the speed of sound, the aircraft was perfect. Of course, the pursuit of perfection may be the best quality of every astronaut.
Therefore, although the last time the country had proposed that it could provide the country with an aircraft, Gaoshou Company refused - we do not provide defective products! Therefore, it has won unanimous praise from the country.
The problem that occurred on the last plane was not essentially a problem with the master company, but was caused by the insufficient strength of the superconducting wires provided by the state. This time, all the wires are reinforced with high-strength plastic, and some parts are filled with foam plastic. The structure of all aspects of the aircraft has also been adjusted.
The new aircraft has almost no change in appearance, but its weight has reached 30 tons. All the added weight is used to strengthen the structure of the aircraft.
This time, all three engines were fully turned on, and the speed of the aircraft was directly increased to 13 times the ultimate speed of sound. Mu Xinghai directly increased the power to the peak, and flew around the world in 25 minutes. All countries in the world were silent! At 13 times the speed of sound, even missiles cannot catch up; although lasers can be used, the speed of the aircraft is too fast, and laser weapons have no use.
However, Mu Xinghai, who returned to the sky above where the master company is located, did not land. Under everyone's surprised eyes, he accelerated again. After only 3 minutes, he directly broke through the atmosphere. After another 3 minutes, he found the Chinese space station, but because there was no There is no air resistance in space for other deceleration mechanisms. Mu Xinghai just had time to send out a friendly greeting and hurried past.
All the power of the aircraft was turned off, and under the acceleration of the earth's gravity, it gradually climbed to the first cosmic speed, about 280,000 kilometers per hour, almost 23 times the speed of sound.
The plane was hanging upside down, and Mu Xinghai looked at the earth through the canopy, with a breathtaking beauty. Although this is not the first time he has observed the earth like this, he has seen it before through the country's spacecraft; but he flies the plane, and Zhang Jingyuan personally promised that this plane is his car. This kind of satisfaction of taking a ride in the universe, This is something that the state cannot provide anyway.
For the first time, Mu Xinghai was so lucky to be able to enter the master's company! Although Gaoshou Company is not the first private company to send an aircraft into space; it is not even ranked in the top ten; but it is definitely the first to be able to use a carrier like an airplane to take off directly from the ground! This kind of technology is currently only mastered by China, the United States and Russia; but the cost and price are too high, not to mention the technology is not mature, and it is still being developed. Perhaps, expert companies are at the forefront of the world in this regard!
Turning on the camera, Mu Xinghai began to record a commemorative short film of his first space flight. There are many documentaries about viewing the earth from space, but shooting it yourself - this is the real enjoyment!
The sky in the distance, no, it should be space. A little sunlight shining through the earth's atmosphere is so beautiful. However, thinking that there was no corresponding protection, Mu Xinghai had to regretfully start the plane and put the plane in the shadow of the earth. Without appropriate protection, strong sunlight can burn the skin and even cause blindness.
After orbiting in space for 90 minutes, Mu Xinghai began to return. This success is of extraordinary significance. The Master Company has truly entered space competition, the most high-end club on earth! Moreover, it is a strong advance!
