Chapter 722 - Ten Questions About Aerospace Aircraft
"President Jane, how long has it been since the development of the aerospace aircraft, and what are the key reasons for the breakthrough?" This is the information that is not in the press release, and the first question is that Aramco's reporters are concerned about this.
If there is an accurate time for the project to be established, you can also roughly estimate their scientific research strength, and even look at the degree of participation of Chinese officials in this project.
And the key reason for the breakthrough is what everyone wants to know.
Jian Yushu looked at him and smiled: "If a reporter asks a question, I'll answer your first question." How long has the aerospace plane been developed...... Strictly speaking, Mr. Gu said that he had been thinking about this question since he was a freshman. Of course, to be precise, the project team began to enter the substantive stage, which was after the Lihu conference in May last year. After the development of Candledragon 2 was completed, the Yinglong project team officially started. β
He replied lightly, but he was skeptical of life below.
Is this human talk?
Is that 8 years, or only 1 year?
Gu Song began to think about aerospace aircraft when he was a freshman, even if it was developed?
So I want to become a billionaire since I graduated, is it already starting to work hard?
Well, anyway, finally got an answer.
The establishment of the aerospace aircraft project team is probably only a little over a year.
Of course, there may have been some pre-project research before.
In an instant, a large number of hands were raised again, and their expressions were urgent, almost shouting "I, I, I!"
Jian Yushu nodded to the oriental face.
"President Jian, first of all, congratulations to Flint Aerospace on the completion of the test flight. My question is, in the photo sent by Mr. Gu, the test flight was completed by Yang Haisheng and Jing Zhigang of the Huaguo Astronaut Brigade, so will there be any other forces involved in the development of the aerospace aircraft besides Flint Aerospace? Or will the aerospace aircraft participate in the construction of the Tiangong space station?"
Jian Yushu smiled: "This is the same problem." The development of Flint Aerospace is independent, and of course, in order to successfully complete the test flight, we invited experienced astronauts from the astronaut brigade. In fact, in addition to Yang Haisheng and Jing Zhigang, there are also 6 astronauts who participated in the piloting and operation training of Yinglong. Therefore, the aerospace aircraft is in the back, and it can participate in the construction of other space projects. All this depends on the needs of other projects, funding, and the schedule of the Yinglong. β
As soon as the words fell, a hand was raised almost at the same time.
"President Jane, may I ask how many Flintstone Space's aerospace planes are planned to be built?"
"According to the construction needs of our Flint Space City, the Ying Long will build three planes. β
The reporter continued to ask: "Are these three aerospace planes built independently by the Yinglong, or can they be customized for China's space program?"
Jian Yushu did not answer this question, but said: "One question for one reporter, a total of ten questions." Three have been answered, the next question. β
Leaving the reporter with a helpless face, he then watched as his peers enthusiastically raised their hands.
Jian Yushu pointed to another person, only to hear her say: "I'm Xie Niya, a reporter from RIA, when will the Yinglong aerospace plane start its official mission?"
"We will also carry out some necessary test flights and tests during the year. The specific mission plan will be determined according to the follow-up test flight and test results. β
"President Jane, I'm Joshua from NBC. My question is, what is the purpose of the space plane's visit to Ouranos, the original International Space Station?"
Jian Yushu glanced at this Joshua, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "In the original test flight plan of the Yinglong, there was no such mission. But Mr. Gu said that he wanted to post on Weibo, but there was no suitable good material. When Ying Long arrived in outer space, he watched the construction progress of the flint space city up close as originally planned, and saw that the fuel was sufficient and in good condition, so Mr. Gu decided to go over and say hello, there was nothing else to say, as Gu Song said: Surprise!"
Joshua was speechless, your test flight was so unrestrained, isn't this a joke with the life of the test pilot?
Just for the boss to post Weibo? Such a lame reason is also due to them to make it up.
"Hello, President Jane. I'm Yui Aoi from NHK, and the advent of aerospace aircraft is exciting, but at the same time, there are concerns that such technology will be used in non-peaceful fields. Since the development of the space plane is independent, will Flint Space control the technology and ensure that it is only used for peaceful space exploration?"
When the question was asked, there was a moment of silence in the room.
Jian Yushu's expression was calm, in fact, there were many people who came over, and they were more concerned about the problem from this angle.
Whatever he says, it will at least be some kind of evidence to be taken out in the future.
But Gu Song had already said something about such a question.
So Jian Yushu said calmly: "Flint Aerospace is exploring space peacefully, and there is no space fortress to build." As for the issue of control, one path has been proven to be feasible, and the countries behind all of you here, if they have the ability, will definitely increase their investment in research and development. They will want to refer to the design of the Yinglong, and even obtain the design and construction information of the Yinglong through various means and channels, which is beyond our control. You are all very good journalists, you are elite, so don't ask such a naΓ―ve question. β
The words are straightforward, but the reporters do not change their faces, the microphone is pointed at the stage, the flash is flashing, and the recording red light on the camera does not stop.
Jian Yushu smiled: "Mr. Gu said, I just want to explore space kindly, don't force me to deviate from the science and technology tree." You must know that according to the judgment of our flintstone technology, there is really no regret medicine. β
After saying such a sentence, Jian Yushu simply said the next one neatly.
There was some silence in the room after the question was asked.
There was silence in the room after the answer.
The nature of the flintstone group is special, it takes a company as the main body, and it seems to have no concerns at all. After all, you can't force it as a representative of a certain national subject.
So Gu Song showed a posture of not blaming blindly and being a certain Lao Tzu.
Too many technologies have non-peaceful uses, don't they develop?
Some questions were accused of being childish, but after all, this was very important news, and the other reporters were not at all stunned.
Who has not been out to be a journalist or has had a bad temper?
"How much money did it cost to develop the Yinglong?"
"It hasn't been calculated, it's not restricted, it's not important. Next. β
Flint Aerospace is not listed, so it is impossible to announce these. Besides, how much is appropriate? Can 10 billion buy drawings?
"President Jane, there are types 1 and 2 of the Candle Dragon series of rockets, will the aerospace aircraft Yinglong be bigger or other models?"
Jian Yushu said appreciatively: "That's a good question. The Yinglong will indeed have a larger model, and its primary use will be as a shuttle service between the surface and Flint Space City. Everyone also knows the scale of the flint space city, and there will be no shortage of people working and living in it in the future, and there must be a passenger flight with sufficient safety, stability and transportation capacity. After the Yinglong completes all flight tests, the development of a larger model of the Yinglong King will begin. Next. β
This is another amazing piece of new information, and for a while, some of those who have already asked questions have raised their hands again, hoping that they will be given the opportunity to make an exception.
But Jian Yushu's memory is not so bad, he is a new face.
The question, but a good match: "Have the design indicators for this larger aerospace aircraft been determined now?"
"It's not decided yet. Ninth place. β
Impulsive, impulsive. It seems that this guy is serious, and he is really only going to answer ten questions, which is a special reminder to reporters.
After a journalist stood up, he said solemnly: "I'm Adrian from AFP. Mr. Jane, according to the official release of Flint Aerospace, the payload of the Yinglong aerospace aircraft is only a little more than half of that of Candle Dragon 2. After the flintstone aerospace already has a more powerful Candle Dragon 2, what is the significance of developing the aerospace aircraft? After all, in terms of efficiency, the carrying capacity of the aerospace aircraft is not as good as that of the Candle Dragon 2. In terms of cost, there are also precedents for the space shuttle, and the maintenance cost of the space plane is also subject to reservations. In this case, the single-stage orbital aerospace aircraft engine will have other uses that do not need to consider the carrying efficiency. In this regard, what is Mr. Jane's assessment of the value and real use of the aerospace aircraft?
Jian Yushu looked at him, and then said, "This reporter, the press conference of the Flint Group will not be used in the future. β
