He Ting was so surprised that he couldn't do it: "425 tons of take-off weight? This Yinglong ...... What size?"

"The wingspan is 25 meters and the length is 55 meters. ”

He Ting said in surprise: "Bigger than the space shuttle?"

"It's bigger, but it can't be compared. A full space shuttle, which should also include an external fuel tank and rocket booster. ”

Fei Jing corrected: "Counting the fuel tank, Mr. Gu's Yinglong is also larger. I really want to see the real guy soon. ”

Gu Song looked at He Ting and asked: "So, Brother Fei is also here, so shouldn't the matter here be divided into two parts? The astronauts who flew the test flight began to conduct Yinglong pilot training, and you want to understand the technical points here?" What do you say about technology?"

He shook his head straight: "This is not my responsibility." ”

"Is it okay to do this? There is no charter, how can we communicate?"

He Ting quipped: "What are you lacking? money, you just harvested another wave." People, look at you here, the ranks are getting bigger and bigger. status, you are higher than me. What are you missing?"

Gu Song replied, "Don't try to trick me. Materials, people, and money are all lacking. This should be the dragon, the cost is high. Moreover, if the Ying Long succeeds, the next step will be to get out the big guy Ying Long King in my ideal. ”

"Ying Long King?" He Ting was stunned when he heard the name.

Gu Song said with a wistful expression: "The length is 86 meters, the wingspan is 47 meters, the combination of scramjet and nuclear-powered rocket engine, the take-off weight can exceed 1,000 tons, and the payload is 200 tons, how about it?"

Fei Jing, who had always been quite calm, suddenly flashed into his eyes.

He Ting was taken aback: "Nuclear-powered rocket engine?"

Gu Song nodded, as if tempting him: "How about it?" I already have a design idea, but if I want to verify it, it is really a lack of money and materials!"

He Ting was skeptical, and Fei Jing asked: "Nuclear rockets have not been without design plans and experiments in history. Mr. Gu's thinking should be updated, right?"

Gu Song said with a smile: "Of course, the times have progressed, and materials, processing and manufacturing are different from the past. The reason why I want to do this is because although my Flint Space City project has already begun, it is still in Earth orbit after all. In the future, if we want to develop to the moon and Mars, we still need a better solution in terms of deep space astronautics capabilities. This solution may as well be experimented with by Ying Longwang first. ”

"Mr. Gu is going to give nuclear power a try?"

"Part of it. Gu Song didn't prepare to finish, just looked at He Ting, "I understand part of it first, and then let's see what I say later." Anyway, I have a positive attitude, and of course I am willing to support the development of defense equipment. Participating in your project and contributing wisdom is one thing, like this mature solution, if you want to use it, you can help solve my difficulties. ”

He looked a little tempted: "Besides, if you make it, think about it, nuclear power propulsion." The kind of nuclear power that is used on ordinary satellites is definitely not enough, and I have to work on a whole set of high-efficiency solutions for nuclear power miniaturization. ”

He Ting couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't fool around, I said, these are not under my control." I think I'd better call the patriarch again and ask him to come if he has a good schedule. Anyway, you kid has to make a request, and go to the patriarch. In front of the patriarch, see if your skin will be as thick as it is now. ”

Gu Song said with a straight face: "It's about the future, I still care about my face? You can't do it if you wait for the patriarch to blame you!"

He Ting was speechless.

……

The astronauts' daily diet is very regular, and the lunch is very concise.

Director Wu asked Zhao Hongtao to lead him to He Ting and Gu Song, and after Zhao Hongtao made a phone call, he said that they were talking about the secrets of defense research and development, saying that there was still a lot of time, and asked Director Wu to visit and guide the construction of the headquarters of Suishi Aerospace first.

Zhao Hongtao was polite, and Director Wu couldn't help it.

He heard a few words on the phone call just now. The person in front of him, with the casualness and familiarity of talking to Gu Song, is obviously already the most trusted figure around Gu Song.

Also, otherwise the private jet would have been handed over to him to drive?

So Director Wu could only follow Director Xiong and take other astronauts to follow Zhao Hongtao around the flintstone aerospace headquarters.

I can only sigh that the territory is really big.

At present, the construction of Changwen Aerospace City is accelerating. Not only have the two major aerospace groups increased their investment in the industrial chain here, but the newly established Huayu Heavy Industry is also building a large number of projects.

The first place to invest heavily in Flint Aerospace is undoubtedly the most mature space park here.

R&D building, laboratory building, testing and processing workshop...... If it weren't for the traffic vehicles in the park, I'm afraid Director Wu would be a little unbearable.

Therefore, this meal was also a little fragrant, after all, I was a little tired.

Even when eating, He Ting and Gu Song were still missing.

After eating and resting, everyone went to the main building.

This time, everyone is here.

The person in charge of explaining on the stage is Poplar.

This guy lectured in Zhifu when he was a freshman, but now the typhoon is very mature, and he said with a smile: "I am very excited to see so many aerospace heroes at once." Now that I have to teach everyone, I feel very empty. If you have any questions, just mention them, if I can't answer them, Gu Song and my mentor Academician Guo are here. ”

When Director Wu saw him calling Gu Song by his name, he was guessing what his identity was.

Bai Yang finished the scene, and then said: "The driving of the Ying Long is actually not complicated. If you don't push the limits, avionics systems can actually solve most of the problems. Compared with ordinary aircraft, it mainly has more things such as engine form switching and space environment working status. ”

He pointed to the big screen: "This is the Ying Long." ”

In the eyes of the astronauts, they all showed a look of amazement and yearning.

For these true astronauts, space is truly a place of passion.

Think about it, as a veteran pilot, you already have a solid job, income, family, and then start to get together with your family and go through years of arduous and unbearable training, just to fight for the opportunity to go to space that you probably don't have, and even if you do, it's only once or twice, what kind of love is this?

You must know that in the field of aerospace, it is very likely to give your life for this dream.

No matter how good a person is, after boarding the spaceship, he will entrust his life to the launch system, to every factory and even worker who makes spaceships and rockets, and is ready to accept possible "sacrifices" at any time.

And now, in front of them, there is a first aerospace plane in history that they are very likely to sit in and fly into the sky.

Just looking at the photos, it already made a ripple in their always calm hearts.

This plane gives them the feeling of elegance and maturity.

No, it's just an intuition based on the dozens of courses each of them have received, decades of attention to aerospace.

The direction and curvature of the flow of the lines, the ratio of the wing to the fuselage, the aerodynamic layout of the configuration, the air intakes and nozzles of the engines......

Poplar is even more emotional, although people are not looking at him, but after all, the eyes of the aerospace hero yearn are looking at his side.

He said excitedly: "Let's talk directly about the data." Although not yet a single test flight has been carried out, the AI program has completed a sufficient number of simulated tests and simulated flights in the model constructed by the quantum computer. Let's start with its basic data. ”

Some of the data that He Ting and Fei Jing have heard are explained in more detail here.

Director Wu is in charge of the space agency, and he is naturally no stranger to this field now, so he is very aware of the impact of every data on the screen if it is taken out.

Li Wei, an astronaut who has been to the sky, is more intuitive and aware of the performance represented by these data, and he is in disbelief for a while, and at the same time sighs that it is worthy of flintstone aerospace.

"We are quite confident in these test data," Poplar said. I was the first to work on a quantum computing prototype with my mentor and Gu Song, and these tests ...... Eh, Gu Song, can you say it?"

Gu Song looked at the people in the room, then looked at He Ting in particular, and nodded with a smile.

Poplar said with some reserve: "It can be said that this test data should have more problems than the hundreds of actual flights collected in the past." These tests were modeled using the Flintstone Aerospace Quantum Supercomputing Center. This quantum supercomputing center, borrowing from the design concept of supercomputers, although a single quantum computing core is still only a thousand levels, has a total of more than one million qubits, has an ultra-high-speed network, and has extremely large capacity and fast quantum memory. At the same time, spacecraft testing artificial intelligence has been evolving from 07 to the present. Therefore, we are very confident in the test flight of the aerospace aircraft!"

He Ting was about to jump, and Fei Jing turned his head a little hard to look at Gu Song.

Gu Song grinned and said, "Amazing, right? The engine, there are all kinds of technologies, all of which cost money." When the patriarch comes, you are cheeky and crying, I think the defense system should definitely want me to help build a custom one. I've been limited to two years just to save quantum computing cores. If you think about it, my Shenwei Infinity 2 sold for $59.18 million, mainly because of the core of quantum computing. A Shenwei Infinity 2 is only 1024 qubits, a quantum supercomputing center at the level of millions of qubits, and a complete set of systems must be customized for it to be optimized and easy to manage on a daily basis. How much is a quantum supercomputing center like this worth? Not to mention multiplying it by 1,000 times, how much discount do you think is appropriate?"

He Ting was dumbfounded, can the account be calculated like this? Your price, who doesn't know that it is a foreign IQ tax.

$59.18 million, what is 1,000 times?$59.18 billion?

If this is the case, wouldn't it be necessary to allocate a large chunk of the total annual defense expenditure?

Even if it's just a discount, that's an exaggeration!

If you want to talk about the core of quantum computing, in addition to Xinhuo Technology, it is indeed only possible to achieve more than 200 qubits for its own use, and the production capacity is very limited.

But the specially customized million-qubit supercomputing center should be really practical, right? That's really fragrant!

If you want to get this thing up, how can you bid the right price?

Director Wu's face was dull, it turned out that Commander He and Gu Song had been chatting about tens of billions of big business, and they had to be nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but think to himself, who am I, where am I, what am I here for?
