Chapter 835: Planning
Palmdale, California, USA.
In the upper left corner of the huge square white aircraft warehouse, a cartoon skunk is the Loma company's advanced development project department, nicknamed "Skunk Works", which is said to have been named after the Second World War era, when Skunk Works was close to a stinking plastic factory, and employees had to wear gas masks to work, hence the name Skunk Works.
And it can be said that it is a holy place in the hearts of military fans, aircraft fans and aviation engineers all over the world, because too many legends have been born here.
The F-104 Star, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-117 Nighthawk, F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II, and the A-12/SR-71 Blackbird were all born here.
As the director of an additional small project at Loma, Elke rarely came to Skunk Works in his career, because his projects could only be regarded as peripheral projects of Loma Company, and they were completely out of the eyes of the people here.
However, in order to restart SR-72, the new Blackbird's plan, Elk still came here with a small team of five people.
At the beginning, the vice president of Loma Company gave Elke a list of seven people, and Elke took these seven people, plus 10,000 scientific research, and flew to Africa together, and when they returned, there were only five people left, and the remaining three people had stayed in that land forever.
And when they flew back from Africa, they rushed all the way to Skunk Works, and Elk was running out of time.
When Elk and his party walked into the Skunk Factory with a green glow, no one else paid much attention to them, except for the guards at the door.
Everyone here is in a hurry, or in a hurry, and it seems that their brains are working all the time.
Everyone here out there seems to be that nerdy type.
But these are the same people who once set a record of 143 days to create the XP-80, America's first combat jet prototype fighter, and today, Elke vows to set a new record.
Elk walked as he listened to a report from a Loma executive.
“…… This meeting is like this, except for Raytheon, almost all companies are opposed to the project of launching the Helicarrier......" said the engineer, "At present, the main opposition is from the technical side, and they believe that there is almost no possibility of a breakthrough in the two aspects of power source and thruster......
"We'll take care of the power source and the thrusters, and I'll get them to join the plan, no matter what method you use, huh...... In this case, you first convince General Motors, Boeing, Northrop Grummeneuveneuport News, and Electric Ships to come up with a viable hull construction plan, and Wanke will help you with this. ”
Wan Keke, who was as green as an old cucumber, nodded and said, "You know where to find me." ”
The administrator hurried away.
Wan Ke watched the executive leave, turned his head, and his gaze fell on Elke.
After two nightmarish days and one night, Wan Keke finally became a green bandit, and he almost died in Africa.
But he himself doesn't know if he is lucky or unlucky now.
Becoming a green bandit means that his life will burn faster, and no matter how hard he tries, it is estimated that he will only live for two or three years.
He has mixed feelings for Kalb and Elke, who turned him into a green bandit.
Karb is his master, and he can't resist and resent, but Elk is different.
Looking at Elke's back, the corners of Wan Keke's mouth twitched, you wait, I will soon replace you and become the most trusted person of the master of Kalbu!
It will be me who will build a flying battleship capable of defeating the Silence and crush the bones of Nan Ming and his lazy gods!
The group walked through the small half of the aircraft warehouse and came to a small independent warehouse in the corner.
It is said to be a small warehouse, but compared to other places, the space inside is still very large.
The air was filled with a stale smell that had not been ventilated for a long time, and in the middle of the huge warehouse, a behemoth was parked there.
Thirty meters long, with a wingspan of seven or eight meters, the whole body is silver-white, the body is slender, the wings are extremely short, and almost the entire aircraft is fused together, and the two huge engines are symmetrically distributed in the tail, and the air intakes in front of the engines indicate that these are two ramjet engines.
The whole plane, like a small spaceship in a science fiction movie, has a great sense of technology.
This is the legendary SR-72 prototype, the new Blackbird.
Of course, perhaps it should be called the White Bird.
The reason why the Blackbird was black back then was because it was painted black was the best way to dissipate heat, but its successor used a special paint that would scatter light and produce a crystalline white color while improving heat dissipation efficiency.
If you are in the sun, you can still see that this crystal white surface has a luster similar to an oil film.
Elk looked at the white bird in front of him and said in a low voice: "This is SR-72, the development was stopped in 2008, and it was completely sealed in 2010, and it has been sealed for 5 years now." ”
He walked to the corner, looked at the mountain of materials there, and said: "Judging from the data, it has been completed by more than 70 percent, but the engine is not yet capable of flying at more than 6 times the speed of sound......
Elk stretched out his hand and pointed to another hill of information: "That's the information about the HTV-3X supersonic ramjet engine used on it, you go and take a look." ”
Two engine experts immediately walked over and began to look through the materials.
They flipped through the information very quickly, and almost as soon as they swept it, the information had already come into their minds, and after the evil enhancement, the intelligence and physical strength of these people were greatly enhanced.
Wan Kexue also leaned over, looked at it for a moment, and then smiled.
There is no doubt that the information in front of them is not enough for them to build a powerful enough engine.
Elke's order to these people was to complete the White Bird before the next "epic journey" of the Silence, and that the new White Bird should not only be modified to be able to ride people, but also increase its speed to Mach 10, so as to threaten the Silence.
Even for them, this is an almost impossible task.
It took Wan Keke seven hours to go through all the information, which can really be said to be "flipping", but he remembered everything that should be remembered, which made him confirm his judgment again.
With these people, these materials, without the help of external forces, it is impossible to build a usable engine in twelve days, and even if a usable engine is built, even if it takes a few months, Elk will not be able to build a flying battleship.
This is of course a disaster for Elk, but for him, it is an opportunity to step on Elke's position.
What if Elk came out and turned the tide when he was helpless?
Seeing Elk reading the information intently next to him, Wan Keke sneered in his heart, these Yankees are stupid.
With their strength, it is impossible to build "White Birds" and flying battleships, and the facts are in front of them, and they don't want to admit it yet.
But with a different way of thinking, things are much simpler.
The technology that can build a flying battleship exists, and the technology is in the hands of Lazy God Technology, and the key is for him to find a way to get it.
It is impossible to get this technology directly from the hands of Lazy God Technology, Wan Kexue has already tried it, and the end is miserable.
Now he is the best portrayal.
But he can get it in a more tortuous way, but he needs a suitable piece.
……
Between the seven and the seven three factories, there is a large residential area, which is the dormitory of the seven houses.
In the community protected by the armed police with live ammunition, all the older employees of the Seventh Institute live, and Yang Wenzheng, the former deputy director, lives on the first floor of a three-story building built in the 90s.
Although his house is only more than 120 square meters, there is also a yard of 70 or 80 square meters, which is full of flowers and plants, and there are several precious bonsai in the shade of the wall.
Yang Wenzheng likes vassal elegance and likes these precious plants.
These flowers and plants, in fact, Yang Wenzheng has no time to take care of them on weekdays, and they are very sparse, and since he made a mistake, he has been waiting for the organizational punishment at home, and finally has time to take care of these flowers and plants.
Although Yang Wenzheng told people all day long that he hoped to retire early and go home to play with flowers and plants, this day came early, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
Especially in another small courtyard not far away, after living a guy who made him look very unpleasant.
Yan Tianhu, deputy director of the Seven Trusts.
In fact, Yang Wenzheng and Yan Tianhu had a conflict a long time ago, although it was just some trivial things at first, but after Yan Tianhu took over as deputy director, this contradiction was infinitely magnified by him.
Yang Wenzheng, who was deposed, stayed alone in the quiet courtyard every day, scolding while tending to flowers and plants, this process often started with Yan Tianhu, of course, Yang Wenzheng was not only Yan Tianhu who was not pleasing to the eye, but also the director of the Seven Institutes, Lao Chu, and even Qingzhong Yang, all of whom were the objects of his scolding.
Today, Yang Wenzheng was unlucky, when he was cutting the flower branches, he suddenly heard the sound of the landline, his hand shook, and a flower branch that should not have been cut off fell in response, which made Yang Wenzheng even more angry, he threw the flower branch scissors to the ground, and turned around and entered the house angrily.
"Hey, who?" Yang Wenzheng said angrily as he picked up the phone.
There was a muffled voice over there that couldn't hear the man and woman clearly: "Old Yang, look at your mailbox, the one you don't use often." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the phone hung up.
"Hey, hey?" Yang Wenzheng called twice into the phone, and there was only a busy sound on the phone.
"What is it?" Yang Wenzheng hung up the phone with a snort.
"Who?" asked my wife in the next room.
"I don't know, harassing calls!" Yang Wenzheng snorted.
He turned and walked back into the courtyard, took two steps, and suddenly stopped.
Although the voice had obviously changed, the tone had an inexplicable familiarity.
And...... How did the other party know that his surname was Yang, and that he had a mailbox that he didn't use very often?
Yang Wenzheng frowned and thought for a moment, turned around and walked back to the sofa, opened the notebook, put on reading glasses, and opened the mailbox he didn't use often.
In the spam email, I found an email that "Lao Yang is personally enlightened, and Wan Liu" is found.
Wanliu ......
Ten thousand...... 10,000 scientific research?
Thinking of this name, Yang Wenzheng almost exploded, if it weren't for this guy Wan Kezheng, he wouldn't have ended up like this! Hasn't this guy already defected? He even dared to contact him?
Yang Wenzheng subconsciously wanted to quit the mailbox, but the next second, he thought of his current situation.
Maybe...... Can you find the clues of Wan Scientific Research, and then catch him and make up for it?
Maybe we can get the metal hydrogen sample back?
Yang Wenzheng subconsciously opened the email.
"Brother Yang, I was forced to be free that day, which caused Brother Yang to suffer all kinds of injustices. Today, I sent a copy of the details of the HTV-3X supersonic ramjet engine used in the US SR-72 project, hoping to compensate Brother Yang for his losses. Brother Yang is talented, he should be able to distinguish the truth from the false, and understand his brother's hard work. Brother, scientific research. ”
Yang Wenzheng's breathing suddenly became short, this is...... The engine used on the SR-72?
Although Yang Wenzheng specializes in ship propulsion, he is no stranger to aero engines, because aviation and marine engines have never been separated, and their principles are very similar.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally clicked on the attachment, after a long wait, after downloading, Yang Wenzheng clicked on the attachment, and then his eyes widened and widened.
……
On the other side of the world, the notebook in front of Wan Keke clanged, and a reading receipt jumped out of the mailbox.
"The other person has read your email. ”
The fish bite the bait!
Wan Keke laughed, he didn't believe that Yang Wenzheng could resist this temptation.
If Yang Wenzheng is not stupid, he can definitely use these materials to make up for his mistakes, and even be reinstated.
And after eating his bait, Yang Wenzheng will definitely not be able to escape his control.
Not to mention anything else, as long as Wan Scientific Research announced that Yang Wenzheng had a connection with him, Yang Wenzheng would not be able to eat and walk around.
Although Wan Keke's character is not good, he understands human nature very well.
With the launch of the "Flying Battleship" project in the United States, the domestic "Long Sky Plan" will definitely receive more and more attention, if the "Long Sky Plan" project does not progress, Qingzhong Yang will definitely go to Nanming again, the first time Nanming may be ruthless, but what if Qingzhong Yang begs him twice or three times?
And now that he has laid out the chess pieces, what he has to do next is to put pressure on the domestic "Changtian Plan", so that Qingzhong Yang can't help but ask Nanming.
As long as Qingzhong Yang gives up his face, in the end, Nanming will definitely reveal the technology, just like the original metal hydrogen.
And on this chessboard, whether it is Elke, or Qingzhong Yang, Yang Wenzheng, or even Nanming, they are just chess pieces on his chessboard.
He didn't lose so easily.
He is the best chess player.
This is the self-confidence of an old bastard who doesn't learn anything but can become an authoritative scholar.
……
When it was morning light again, Yan Tianhu couldn't help but drive to the beach outside the Lazy God Shipyard.
He didn't dare to approach this time, and he didn't even dare to leave the car.
However, this time he also changed his shotgun and changed to better equipment.
In the back seat of his car, he set up an astronomical telescope, with a magnification of more than 200 times, which was enough for him to see the details of the Silence.
He fiddled with the telescope, the eyepiece swept across the water, and suddenly froze.
The weather is very hot today, and in the morning I don't know where a group of bear children came from, swimming on the beach with a lifebuoy.
It seems that a typhoon is coming, and today's waves are very big, and a wave hits and scatters a few bear children, and the bear children don't know the depths, and a group of people laugh, no one notices, and suddenly there is one person missing.
When the waves calmed down and a lifebuoy rolled out of the waves, the surrounding children realized that someone was missing and screamed in horror.
"It's not good, someone fell into the water!" Lao Yan didn't care about anything else, threw away the binoculars, opened the car door and rushed out. (To be continued.) )
