Chapter 1185: The Future of Aviation
In fact, not many people noticed that when Gu Xiaobai's "Song, Dance, Poetry" album was released, which made people all over Asia and even the world crazy, it was also surging in another market.
In the past, these behemoths that dominated the world's aerospace manufacturing market did not have much interest in other markets.
After all, if you can make money lying down, why kneel to grab food from others.
However, in the aviation industry, the launch of the "New Flyer" product still caused a round of sensation.
Although a discerning person can see at a glance that the "New Flyer" is really just a concept, and there is no real finished product yet, but "Yunzhongjun" has not been mass-produced, and everyone is actually just painting cakes.
Moreover, who is the publisher of the new flyer, it is Airbus!
One of the most powerful flying companies in the world!
A real world-class giant, the pearl in the crown of industrial laurels!
On one side is Airbus, on the other hand, there is a little-known flying company "Colin Flight", and a young scientist Gu Xiaobai who has not yet reached adulthood.
Who will customers trust?
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the aviation industry.
The addition of Airbus has also made many flying companies have to consider one thing, that is, whether a one-man aircraft like Yunzhongjun is really the future of the human aviation industry?
COMAC Group, in the conference room, the senior management of COMAC Group also gathered together, watching the promotional video of the "New Flyer" just released by Airbus Group.
As the host of the meeting, after reading it, Yan Zhetao asked everyone: "Do you think that Airbus released this teaser video, does it indicate that they want to enter the field of personal aircraft and begin to increase the layout of 'Yunzhongjun' aircraft?
The main business of Hangfei Group is the big aircraft big C, and it may also strive to develop wide-body passenger aircraft in the future, and attack the world's only two major manufacturers that can produce wide-body passenger aircraft.
But that doesn't mean they don't get involved in other areas.
Until today, they were unwavering in their belief that large aircraft would be the future of the aviation market.
But in fact, before this black swan spreads its wings and affects the entire aviation market, the market for wide-body large aircraft has been pre-cooled, and it has been proved that narrow-body passenger aircraft and regional aircraft are really in high demand.
Humans don't need to fly long distances across time zones as much as they think, at least not as much.
Instead, what humans need is a more direct, personalized flight route.
So, will personal flying machines become the future of mankind?
Should Hangfei Group get involved in this field?
If you need to get involved, I'm afraid you have to start following up now.
"Everyone brainstorms, brainstorms, comes and comes, and all express their opinions......"
Seeing that everyone was a little silent after reading it, Yan Zhetao said.
As soon as his words fell, a middle-level said: "In my personal opinion, flying cars and personal aircraft are just a pseudo-demand, which is used to fool investors, I never think that personal aircraft will really enter the society, think about it, everyone is flying around in the air, how can this be ......" This middle-level person is obviously not optimistic about this project.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard He Shisong sneer in a low voice: "Before the invention of mobile phones, everyone also saw it this way. ”
Can you think of the people who are all over the street now, and they don't want to look up when they walk?
Even when the mobile phone was first invented, would anyone think that it could not only make phone calls, but also do more unimaginable things?
"Mobile phones are one thing, aircraft is another, flying requires long and professional training, do you really think that everyone can be like a professional pilot, flying in the air?
He Shisong shrugged: "It is quite difficult to learn a driver's license, and it also requires a long and professional training. Before the popularization of automobiles, it is estimated that everyone thought the same way. ”
Being targeted twice in a row, the middle-level was very unhappy and said, "Director He, do you mean that personal aircraft will be the future of mankind?"
"I'm still optimistic about the ...... of this project," He Shisong said, "since we talked about professional training...... I'm going to show you a video, this video was sent to me by Xiaobai......"
He Shisong projected a video on his mobile phone onto the big screen.
I saw that on the deck, Gu Xiaobai was teaching several security guards how to use Yun Zhongjun.
At first, they staggered awkwardly and flew up, but in less than five minutes, they could already fly around in the air with a shout, and a group of people were dumbfounded.
"See? In less than five minutes, you can almost instinctively grasp Yun Zhongjun's flight method. He Shisong stood up, "Yun Zhongjun uses a flight method that puts the center of gravity on the torso, allowing humans to instinctively maintain balance and fly intuitively. It costs almost zero to learn...... The only thing that is preventing it from becoming widespread is not the difficulty of learning, but the policies and regulations. But as long as the technology is mature, regulations are not a problem. ”
Don't you see that driverless cars are almost ready to hit the road now?
"Personally, in my opinion, the development of a single aircraft may be the direction of the future, one day in the future, this kind of single aircraft may be more than the car on the street, or even more electric cars on the street, we have missed a good opportunity to develop large aircraft, if we can't catch up at this level, we may never be able to rank among the world's strongest flying companies......"
In the conference room of Hangfei Group, everyone listened quietly to He Shisong's words and thought thoughtfully.
This meeting of Hangfei Group has been held for a long, long time.
All kinds of people were hurried over, joined the meeting, and then went to the early lights and then to the dead of night.
......
At the same time, the lights of the Dragon Palace on the sea went out one by one.
But in Gu Xiaobai's laboratory, the lights are still as bright as day.
Jiang Wei carried the food box, knocked on the door from outside, and walked in: "Xiaobai, you haven't eaten dinner...... Let's eat!"
When I entered the door, I saw Gu Xiaobai sitting on the floor, holding his head, frowning, thinking about something, and turning a deaf ear to Jiang Wei's voice.
Jiang Wei was not surprised, after all, Gu Xiaobai had been here for several days.
For Gu Xiaobai, who can use his brain to "shoot" the MV of the special edition of "Song, Dance and Poetry", there are really too few things in the world that can make him frown and think hard.
Perhaps, the only one who can stump him in this world is himself.
As soon as he saw Gu Xiaobai's expression, he knew that he had begun to drill the horns again, and he was more serious about himself.
"Xiaobai, Yun Zhongjun is already the best, wouldn't it be good to mass-produce it directly?
Jiang Wei walked over, stood behind Gu Xiaobai, put down the food box in his hand, and looked up at the huge wind tunnel in front of Gu Xiaobai.
Yes, a wind tunnel, while not a large wind tunnel, is enough to make people staggering.
In the wind tunnel, there is a "Cloud Gentleman" in operation, which is mounted on a human model capable of simple limb control, and is flying in various attitudes.
The noise emitted by the "wind tunnel" is not large, and Gu Xiaobai, as an acoustic expert, has carried out a series of noise reduction measures at the edge of the wind tunnel to control the noise of the entire laboratory to a slightly noisy level.
Now, in such a huge laboratory, Gu Xiaobai is the only one.
Gu Xiaobai's laboratory is probably the largest indoor space in the entire Dragon Palace on the Sea, except for the "Sky Concert Hall".
It is about 20 meters high, more than 70 meters long, and more than 30 meters wide, which is a huge space of more than 2,000 square meters.
It's less like a lab, more like a giant factory.
Such a "laboratory" is actually on a ship, and I am afraid that it will make people jealous to death when it says it.
After all, such a space itself can almost fit a 10,000-ton giant ship.
Also, when everyone came in recently, they always felt ......
It seems like there's more space?
In fact, this is not a delusion.
Gu Xiaobai's laboratory space is indeed growing.
Not only Gu Xiaobai's laboratory has become bigger, but the entire Sea Dragon Palace has actually become bigger.
The Sea Dragon Palace itself was expanded on the basis of the system's rewards.
And the area of the Dragon Palace on the Sea is equal to the deck area of the ships owned and conquered by Gu Xiaobai.
After Wang Yida, the king of pirates, surrendered to Cheng, the thousands of ships he had taken over were indirectly incorporated into Gu Xiaobai's "territory", and the current Sea Dragon Palace was far from reaching its limit.
During this time, the Dragon Palace on the Sea has also been expanding, and the construction has not stopped for a moment, so that everyone will not be suspicious of the Dragon Palace on its own.
Of course, even if someone is suspicious of Gu Xiaobai, he is not worried, after all, in order to build the Sea Dragon Palace, he has come up with a set of extremely strict systems, and he has also blown up the papers, and now he is the authority in this area, and no one else can even fight.
There is another reason why the Dragon Palace on the Sea can be expanded so unscrupulously.
After all, strictly speaking, the Dragon Palace on the Sea was not a ship in the first place.
It is a floating island in the sea, which can be expanded and connected wirelessly.
It's just that this floating island in the sea can run faster than most ships in the world with the help of the wind, which is very strange.
Perhaps one day, the Dragon Palace on the sea will become a floating continent, leaving all the ships in the dust.
And for Gu Xiaobai, there is no more suitable laboratory than the Dragon Palace on the sea.
Every inch of land on the ground is expensive, even if the future of science and technology allocates more places for him, there is no place to build an aviation power laboratory.
Seeing Gu Xiaobai's distracted appearance, Jiang Wei sighed, shook his head, put down the food box, and planned to leave.
He knew too well what Gu Xiaobai looked like when he was on the tip of the horns.
It's so normal not to eat, drink, or sleep.
But......
When he saw the food box he sent in at noon, Gu Xiaobai didn't move, and finally couldn't help it.
This really doesn't work, how can the body stand it like this?
He stepped forward and reached out to cover Gu Xiaobai's eyes and ears.
A few seconds later, Gu Xiaobai shook his head suddenly, as if he had found Jiang Wei: "Brother Jiang, why are you here?"
Why am I here? I'm almost rooting here!
"Xiaobai, why haven't you eaten at noon?"
"What, is it night?"
Jiang Wei: "......"
He decided that he couldn't let Xiaobai continue to drill the horns of the bull here alone.
He said, "Xiaobai, go, come with me for supper!"
"Huh?"
"The old company commander in my former army came on a business trip and asked a few of our comrades-in-arms to get together together, and several of my comrades-in-arms were busy, so I made an appointment for supper...... Let's go!"
"Huh? I'm not done with it yet......"
"What you need most now is not to keep getting into the horns, but to change your head. ”
"Can the head be replaced?"
"Look, you're stupid, let's go!"
"Yes...... It's a bit silly. ”
