Chapter 481 Let’s redesign an aerospace fighter
Hearing Song Xiyun’s question, Ning Chen replied very calmly:
“The project of manned landing on Mars is not so We are anxious, after all, the exploration work of Mars robots is not over yet, and the information we can get currently does not meet our requirements. The most important thing is that we must first ensure that some Mars robots can be successfully returned to Blue Star. Only then can we start the follow-up work."
Song Xiyun also nodded when he heard this, and quickly said with some embarrassment:
"Yeah, I almost forgot about it. . It’s all my fault for looking forward to going to Mars. If we can’t ensure that we can successfully bring back the Mars robot, how can we ensure that we can bring back the astronauts in the future?”
After all, the Mars landing project is not a one-way mission, but a round-trip mission. Even the Mars robot needs to bring some of the Martian soil samples back to the Blue Star, instead of all staying on Mars.
On this point, Ning Chen was still very cautious and would not be so anxious that he would immediately send human astronauts to Mars without even testing these procedures.
"Yes, Song Xiyun, at least we still have to wait until the Mars robot returns to Blue Star smoothly before we can proceed with the next manned landing project on Mars. Alas... I really hope these premonitions of mine are just some It’s just an illusion, but I always feel that the situation on Mars is not as simple as imagined.”
Ning Chen is worried not only about the possibility of traces of life on Mars, but also about the possibility of traces of life on Mars. It's something more complicated.
However, at least with the current situation, Ning Chen has not been able to get any evidence to prove this conjecture. This is something that makes Ning Chen feel a little worried, but also a little lucky.
At this time, Ning Chen suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Song Xiyun, and said to Song Xiyun:
"Song Xiyun, I think it's time for us to start research on the aerospace fighter project. I think for this kind of The exploration of unknown planets still requires some more powerful weapons, even if they may not play any role in the end."
After learning about Ning Chen's idea, Song Xiyun also felt the same at first. It feels a bit baffling, because for a planet without any trace of life, even if an aerospace fighter is developed, it does not seem to have any impact on subsequent exploration work.
But since this can alleviate Ning Chen's worries, Song Xiyun will definitely be willing to cooperate with Ning Chen's ideas and will not have any doubts about Ning Chen.
"Okay, Ning Chen, we have already done some research on air and space fighters before. I think the following work will not be clueless at least."
Now Ning Chen and Song Xiyun can understand the design principles of the entire aerospace fighter project. What needs to be solved are just some process problems.
Of course, these process problems are what Ning Chen finds more difficult, because with the current technological strength of Blue Star Civilization, it is completely unable to match the aerospace fighter design produced by this system.
Ning Chen stared at the design in his mind for a while, and finally made a difficult decision.
"Song Xiyun, I think we should not completely follow this design drawing to manufacture aerospace fighters. We must find a balance between the best design plan and the existing craftsmanship level. Only in this way can we hope to achieve our goal within a limited time.”
Based on Ning Chen’s rough analysis, if we want to achieve the level of craftsmanship required for this aerospace fighter, the Blue Star Civilization must at least achieve it. It will take another ten years or even longer. This is obviously not a result Ning Chen can accept.
But as long as the original aerospace fighter design can be partially modified, it will be possible to find a balance between the two. Under the premise of being able to produce an aerospace fighter, it will not be seriously deviated from it. existing industrial level.
After hearing Ning Chen's idea, Song Xiyun's expression was still a little hesitant. It could be seen that Song Xiyun did not think that this was a very easy thing to do.
“Ning Chen, in fact, this existing aerospace fighter plan is already very perfect. Once we change one of the details, the final effect achieved by the aerospace fighter will be the same as before. Completely different. "
Song Xiyun's meaning is very obvious, because modifying this very perfect plan will undoubtedly have an impact that will affect the whole body.
Even with Ning Chen's ability, I am afraid that it may not be possible to achieve such a goal. The final revised plan is likely to have various problems.
Naturally, Ning Chen had already expected such a result, and Ning Chen was not under great psychological pressure for Song Xiyun's worries.
"Don't worry, Song Xiyun, my understanding of the design of this aerial fighter aircraft is not just superficial, but I understand its design ideas fundamentally. In this Based on this, it is entirely possible for us to design air and space fighters of various levels to meet our actual needs.”
Ning Chen knew that the air and space fighter provided by the system was not the most suitable one. It is a basic air and space fighter, but a very mature and advanced air and space fighter.
Before this aerospace fighter appears, aerospace fighter technology will have gone through at least several generations of development. Therefore, it is entirely possible for Ning Chen to design some aerospace fighters with more basic functions, so that he will not As for the requirements for craftsmanship, they are too high.
Hearing what Ning Chen said, Song Xiyun was relieved a lot, knowing that Ning Chen was actually quite confident.
"Ning Chen, it's great that you think so. I will definitely try my best to help you achieve this goal!"
After making this decision, Ning Chen continued to give instructions to Song Xiyun.
"Song Xiyun, you have to pay attention that this project is a highly confidential one. What I mean by 'highly confidential' is that no information can be leaked. Even if it is just project approval or research No outsider can know the progress of the information..."
This is a rare attitude that Ning Chen has shown in recent years to be so cautious about scientific and technological research and development results, because recently Ning Chen has been I hope that the results of myself and Xingchen Technology can be known to more people, but some technical issues are kept confidential.
But this time, Ning Chen actually adopted a tight-knit attitude towards this project, which is enough to show that Ning Chen was vaguely aware of some possible dangers.
Although she was a little confused about Ning Chen's idea, Song Xiyun did not ask Ning Chen about the reason, but directly agreed with Ning Chen's idea.
"Okay, don't worry, Ning Chen, I will definitely not tell any outsiders this secret. So are only the two of us involved in this project? How to solve the process problem?" Hearing Regarding Song Xiyun's doubts, Ning Chen slowly said:
"From the current situation, if we want to complete the design work of another version of the aerospace fighter, it will be difficult for the two of us to complete it. The ability is enough. As for the problem of craftsmanship, we don’t need other outsiders to join in, but to solve it in another way..."
Ning Chen’s words made Song Xiyun curious. With her heart aroused, Song Xiyun could not resist the temptation and quickly asked Song Xiyun:
"Ning Chen, what exactly is this method you are talking about?"
Ning Chen just smiled and remained silent when he heard this. It was not until Song Xiyun could no longer hold back that Ning Chen replied. :
"Song Xiyun, let's finish the design of the aerospace fighter first. After this work is completed, we will naturally know what the next plan is."
Jian Ning After Chen said this, Song Xiyun couldn't ask any more questions, so she had no choice but to agree to Ning Chen's requests.
"Okay, then Ning Chen, when will we start this work?"
"Tomorrow, take a good rest and plan today. This work may not be as difficult as we imagined, but it will definitely be a new challenge. Before the project officially starts, we still have to do enough Be prepared, because the project will definitely be very hard.”
“Haha, this is nothing. Ning Chen, you know that I am the person who is least afraid of hard work. I am not as smart as you. But in terms of hard work, Ning Chen, I will never lose to you.”
As Song Xiyun herself said, Song Xiyun is indeed a hardworking person, as early as the night when she was a student. When running on top, Song Xiyun showed this trait very well.
Song Xiyun knew that it was impossible to have Ning Chen's ability. But if she wanted to get close to Ning Chen's level and provide some help to Ning Chen, she could only do her best at all times. In a state of full strength, I dare not relax even a little bit.
At this point, Ning Chen naturally did not have any worries about Song Xiyun. After asking Song Xiyun to go back and rest early, the two separated temporarily.
Early the next morning, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun arrived at Ning Chen's office on time, ready to start designing a new version of the aerospace fighter plan.
Actually, Ning Chen did not rest immediately after returning yesterday. On the one hand, Ning Chen needed to think about how to carry out this work. On the other hand, Ning Chen also needed to explain to others the exploration work of the Mars robot. After all, after Ning Chen starts the aerospace fighter project, he will definitely not have time to pay too much attention to matters on Mars.
Fortunately, the current work progress on Mars is relatively stable. Even if Ning Chen doesn’t pay attention to the latest developments on Mars all the time, many tasks can still be handled well by others. .
It wasn't until he finished all the work that Ning Chen really dared to take a rest. Of course, such a rest time was already much earlier than normal.
Song Xiyun also wanted to help Ning Chen complete some work in advance, but because Ning Chen did not explain anything to her in advance, Song Xiyun had no choice but to rest early so that she could maintain more energy in the future. .
"Song Xiyun, I already thought of some design ideas yesterday, and now I'll discuss them with you. Of course, these design ideas are still far from enough. There is still a lot of work we need to do next."
Ning Chen's attitude towards Song Xiyun is very special. If it is with other people, even Ning Chen's attitude will be more easy-going, but more often he will simply explain tasks to them, and it is difficult for others to really participate.
But for Song Xiyun, Ning Chen fully believed that she could have the ability to discuss it with him, because generally speaking, Song Xiyun was the person closest to Ning Chen's ability.
“Okay, I actually thought about it yesterday, but because many of my ideas were immature, I didn’t give a particularly clear plan. In the end, I fell asleep early, and of course I was all in my dreams. It’s all kinds of strange ideas about aerospace fighters. I think I’d better give some of my own opinions within the framework you gave me.”
Listening to Ning Chen’s story, Song Xiyun was also there. Keep thinking about it and see if the ideas in it are similar to your own.
This time Ning Chen’s design ideas are different from the previous design ideas. Due to the limitations of the craftsmanship level, Ning Chen can no longer completely focus on the final property requirements, but must take more into account the current situation. Some level of craftsmanship.
This makes Ning Chen somewhat inclined to directly focus on the current technological level, and then based on this, deduce the most powerful aerial fighter they can create.
After listening to Ning Chen’s thoughts, Song Xiyun said:
“Ning Chen, with our current capabilities, can we really complete these manufacturing processes? I think every one of them The manufacturing requirements for each process are slightly higher than our current process level.”
Song Xiyun did not doubt Ning Chen’s new idea, just because Song Xiyun herself was not familiar with the existing technology of Blue Star Civilization. Based on the level of understanding, the craftsmanship level set by Ning Chen is indeed a bit higher.
"Yes, as you said, our current craftsmanship level is indeed a little bit behind the craftsmanship level I require. But I believe that by the time we complete this design work, our craftsmanship will There is hope that we can meet this requirement. After all, the level of technology is constantly developing, and we can’t always look at the problem from the perspective of the past.”
According to Ning Chen and Song Xiyun’s approach to this work. Due to time expectations, this design work will definitely not be completed in a short time. It is reasonable to leave some room for industrial-level development.
However, Song Xiyun felt that the space left by Ning Chen was indeed too much. If he wanted to achieve such a level of progress, he might not be able to achieve it in just a few years.
However, since Ning Chen had insisted on this choice, Song Xiyun would not have any objection, so he followed Ning Chen's idea and continued the discussion.
