Chapter 447: Take the Reporter to Fly
Bao Zixuan drove home after the press conference, after all, he hadn't been home for 3 months, and his mother was already very angry when she called, and now she has to coax her. As for the reporter's visit to the ground effect aircraft, all of them are in charge of Mike Briffin, since he chooses to believe in this German double doctor, he must give people enough power. I want to do everything by myself, but I can't do a few things even if I'm tired.
Mike Brifin was very happy to see Bao Zixuan leave on his own initiative, which proves that the ground effect aircraft project is now completely up to him. So he entertained the media reporters very warmly, which was his opportunity to make a name for himself in the world. Let the leaders of the Technical University of Munich see that he is not incapable, but that he has not met people who have discovered his ability.
Bao Zixuan returned home and looked at Li Yulin's face very ugly, knowing that his mother must be angry because he hadn't come home in the past 3 months.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Mommy, who made you angry, but you have to pay attention to your body!"
Li Yulin: "Who else can make me angry and leave for so long without a sound." If it weren't for a phone call every day, I would have thought something had happened to my son!"
After saying that, I didn't know what to say when I saw Bao Zixuan's thin face, it was really distressing to see my son like this, so he changed the conversation and continued: "You are also the eldest person, and our family's money can't be spent in a few lifetimes, so don't you have to work so hard every day." Others are worried that my son is too lazy, but I am the opposite, I am afraid that my son is too capable and will tire me out. ”
"Aren't the two of us too lonely, you're also in your twenties. Before, it was because it was inconvenient to study in school, but now I don't have to think about it. ”
This is Bao Zixuan's biggest headache, after all, he is 24 years old. As he grows older, Li Yulin will definitely become more and more anxious about his life's events, but he really doesn't know what kind of girl he is looking for, and he has always been very confused about this.
Just when Bao Zixuan's mother and son were chatting, Mike Brifin took the reporter to the Black Cloud Pier in Tin Shui Wai. When the reporter saw a behemoth appear in front of him, he immediately felt that he was indeed too small.
The length of a Boeing 747 is only 70 meters, while the length of the Xiangjiang Monster ground effect aircraft has reached an astonishing 108 meters. It can be said that it is the largest flying machine on the planet except for rockets, and many people still can't believe that this behemoth can really fly.
The Boeing 747 has a payload of only about 100 tons, while this guy has a payload of almost 500 tons. This is a proper black technology, and I don't know how the engineers of the Black Cloud Group developed it.
Mike Brifin said to everyone with a smile: "Reporter friends, in front of us is the Xiangjiang Monster Ground Effect Aircraft that our Black Cloud Group has just successfully test-flown in front of us, and we will conduct a test flight in a while." If you are interested, you can sign up, first of all, the aircraft is currently in the test flight stage, and many of the performance is not very stable. I will buy insurance for everyone before the test flight, provided that you sign a waiver. ”
"But rest assured, I will also be on board with you to participate in the test flight. ”
Originally, there was no such activity, and Mike Brifin can be said to have absolute faith in the Xiangjiang Monster. After all, he had gone through thousands of simulation tests before, and yesterday's flight gave him enough confidence.
Many European and American journalists are challenging, and most importantly, many of them are not simple journalists. They all want to figure out the performance of the aircraft, and now there is such an opportunity, how can they miss it.
Journalists began to sign up on the spot, after all, this may be one of the few opportunities to experience the aircraft up close. However, there are also some timid reporters who did not sign up, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, and no one will force it.
After taking n more than one photo, the reporter who did not sign up stepped off the aircraft. Although they are a little unwilling in their hearts, this is their own choice, and they can't complain about others.
Finally, after statistics, 36 reporters signed up for the test flight activity, basically all of them were Europeans and Americans. To be precise, most of these people are spies, but no one says it explicitly.
Mike Brifin also gave the gang a big perk that they could get into the cab. Reporters who didn't sign up didn't have this kind of eyesight, which made everyone feel that it was worth going back now.
The group of journalists, especially those who work part-time as spies, are well-informed people, and when they come to the cockpit of the Xiangjiang monster, they feel as if they have entered an alien spaceship.
There are no dashboards here, and all the data is displayed on the LCD. Make people look very neat and comfortable. They are also people who have seen the cockpit of an airplane, and the feeling is not half a star worse than here. Everyone thinks that this is the direction of future technology development, and now it seems that the dashboard is really a bit outdated.
The reporters saw that all the engineers of the Black Cloud Group began to control the computer to conduct a self-test on the aircraft, which is another brand-new technology. Today, the Black Cloud Group has given them too many surprises, and many technologies here are ahead of this era.
But at the same time, it also made many reporters worry that the leading black cloud technology means that their technology is backward. Now it seems that the technological generation gap between my country and the black cloud is not a year or two to catch up, and I must report this time well when I go back. The threat level of the Black Cloud Group is no longer to be underestimated and must be taken seriously.
All the inspection work of the Xiangjiang Monster Ground Effect Aircraft is about 3 minutes, and all the computers on the aircraft are equipped with the most advanced chips, and the computing power is very outstanding.
After arranging for all the reporters to be seated, Mike Brifin pressed the engine start button. At this time, the people in the wheelhouse didn't feel anything, but the people on the dock were not so calm.
It was the first time they felt the sound of eight turbojet engines starting at the same time, and they knew that the engine power would never be small.
Mike Briffin said, "Warriors, we're on our way. ”
As soon as the words fell, a strong sense of pushing back let everyone know that this time it was really time to go. Looking at the faster and faster flying machine, he didn't speak, after all, this thing is still in the test flight stage. No one can guarantee performance, and no one wants to have such an experience if it weren't for the work.
When the speed reaches 100 km/h, the aircraft begins to leave the sea level and rise, and the Xiangjiang monster has two ways to fly. The first is this kind of taxiing take-off, which can only be done on the water. There is also a direct take-off, similar to the take-off method of the British Harrier fighter.
The first one is very fuel-efficient and can take off with a full load, but it needs to be done in the water. The second take-off method is not only very fuel-intensive, but also has a maximum take-off weight of no more than 500 tons, and the advantage is that it is not limited by any conditions at all.
Under normal circumstances, the first method will be chosen, mainly because the second method has not been tested in practice, and no one dares to guarantee that it will succeed, after all, it has only been simulated and tested.
As the speed gets faster and faster, the reporters who came to experience it actually felt that this aircraft can really go to the sky. Bao Zixuan and the Black Cloud Group have pioneered a completely new means of transportation, which is a great invention.
Mike Brifin didn't dare to be too ostentatious, just conducted a few simple routine tests. After all, there are 36 reporters here, and everyone is happy about the success of the test flight, and if there is an accident, it is estimated that the entire project will be completed.
After about an hour in the air, the aircraft began to return home. In fact, after a steady flight, the bold reporter had already stood up to watch the scenery of the Xiangjiang River. The Xiangjiang region is still too small, and the test flight here can only fly along the coastline, otherwise it may have to fly to other cities, and it seems that in the future, it will be necessary to find a spacious place to build an aircraft factory and shipbuilding base.
During the flight, there was a technology that made the reporters stunned, only to see that the radar scanned that there was an obstacle ahead. The computer immediately analyzes the optimal route and will never allow any obstacles in front of the aircraft.
If this equipment were installed on every large ship and aircraft, how many accidents could be avoided in a year? All reporters have their own considerations in their hearts, it seems that the Black Cloud Group is not just as simple as developing a ground-effect aircraft, which contains a lot of high-tech technology, but it has not been fully understood for a while.
The Xiangjiang monster docked faster than they imagined, after all, no one thought that such a behemoth would dare to slow down with the principle of engine backwards. This technology has extremely high requirements for engine performance and materials, and it seems that Heiyun is not weaker than any enterprise in terms of materials.
