The whole test flight process went exceptionally well. It was even unexpectedly smooth, and the Alice Group was unusually generous, and after the test flight, it even opened the An-124 that had just flown to the media, allowing them to enter the plane and take pictures to their heart's content...... Anyway, it's just a modification of an old aircraft, and it's not a newly developed top-secret model like the B-2, so Zhang Lan naturally won't be too careful about this kind of thing.

In fact, there is nothing to keep secret, and the real thing is not accessible to these journalists.

The test flight went so smoothly that some reporters with red eyes and military attaches from some countries couldn't help but be meanness and filth, and clamored to ask the Alice Group to conduct a load flight test of this aircraft in order to test the real performance of this aircraft...... Even now, these guys still suspect that the An-124 modified by the Alice Group is just a façade, which can only ensure that the plane can fly, but the carrying capacity is not much.

As for the fact that the distance of the plane's glide and take-off during the test flight was a little shorter than that of the An-124 with D-18T turbofan engine, these guys all selectively ignored it.

Fools know that the same aircraft, the more powerful the power system, the shorter the take-off distance. Is it still necessary to ask what does the fact that this aircraft can have a shorter take-off distance than the original An-124?

As long as the Alice Group does not test fly tomorrow, they have something to write about: the modification is not perfect, and the fuel cell version of the Alice Group, the An-124, is still quite long from being practical...... Pure jealousy.

"Mr. Kiva, could you please tell me if this experiment can be carried out now?" Zhang Zongjun, who was not willing to lose this face in front of everyone, asked very solemnly to Kiva, the deputy chief designer of the Antonov Design Bureau, who had been busy here for some time.

"Mr. Zhang, I assure you with my pension and my salary that there is no problem at all!" Kiva, who basically participated in the second half of the entire modification process, patted his chest and assured Zhang Zongjun, looked at Xiao Chenxi, who was standing on the side and chuckled silently, as if he had met a savior, and hurriedly pointed at Xiao Chenxi, "Mr. Zhang, I think Miss Gui can prove this for you." ”

"Oh?" Looking at Xiao Chenxi with some confusion, the latter nodded lightly. Zhang Zongjun was immediately relieved, and his daughter, who participated in the whole process of this modification and participated in this modification as the first deputy chief designer, if it is possible, it must be possible. He waved his hand without hesitation, "In that case, contact the civil aviation tower and say that we are going to send something next, and ask them to draw an air route for us." Contact the automobile manufacturing base, and say that the batch of engines they need, we will not take the railway. Directly by air. ”

Motor? That's right, it's the engine, a total of 150 engines, and it's an all-ceramic high-revving engine with a speed of 80,000 rpm.

80,000 rpm? Isn't there an extra zero? That's right, it's 8000 rpm! This is a very crazy number, this engine has gone beyond the scope of civilian engines, is a group of engines dedicated to foreign racing fields and high-end users, although the displacement is not large, but the maximum output has reached an astonishing 1200 horsepower! ――That's it, it's the result of the designers sealing part of the motivation.

So as long as you are not a fool, you can see that this is an engine that will only be used in top racing cars.

Zhang Lan did not discriminate against China, the reason why this batch of engines was not supplied to China, what if there was a problem with the speedometer on the car? If there is a traffic accident with a tachometer of 7 miles and actually more than 140 miles, then you have committed a great sin! …,

However, it's just that the weight of these engines obviously does not meet Zhang Zongjun's requirements, how much is the weight of 150 engines? It's just a little more than 40 tons, which is really far from the carrying capacity of this aircraft, and in his opinion, since it is to show his strength, he will simply put it in place at one time and block the mouths of these guys at one time.

Soon. The news that the Alice Group will immediately conduct a load flight test has reached the ears of these guys! After repeatedly confirming in disbelief that this was not a joke played by the Alice Group with him, everyone immediately burst into an uproar! Even the guy who followed the heckling before was not sure what he had heard: Could it be that Alice Group was so confident? And a one-time full-load flight test? God, am I crazy or the damn Alice Group is crazy?

But after getting the same news from their acquaintances, they had to force themselves to believe in the fact that the Alice Group was probably crazy.

But why? After knowing the news, many people's first reaction was not joy, excitement and schadenfreude, but bewilderment: it doesn't make sense, it is said that no one knows better than Alice Group how serious the consequences would be if they rashly carried out this load flight test, but why did they dare to do it when they knew it?

Could it be ...... A thought suddenly crossed everyone's minds: This aircraft has been successfully modified to the extent that it can be tested with a full load?

But then, the thought was thrown out of the blue: what a joke! This is the world's first fuel cell-powered aircraft, if it is an ultra-light civilian fixed-wing aircraft that can only seat one or two people, but this is a super giant strategic transport aircraft that can carry up to 150 tons of supplies for take-off and landing, how is this possible!?

In their bones, these guys still refuse to admit that the technical strength of the Alice Group has developed to a height that makes them look up to and despair.

Compared with the gloating of foreign reporters and military attachés, domestic reporters are worried, at this time, they believe that the Alice Group can successfully fly this 175-ton big guy is quite remarkable, it has filled the international gap, there is no need to take this risk, the Alice Group at this time rashly carried out this experiment, an unsuccessful word, absolutely a devastating blow to their reputation - at this time, Journalists and media outlets around the world are not optimistic about the Alice Group's trial.

But it's a pity that Zhang Lan has always been a guy who likes to build his happiness on the pain of others, and he fulfilled the wishes of these guys? It's impossible in this life......

――――――――――――――――

"We have to take this technology into our hands." After confirming the authenticity of this news, Bush Jr. simply couldn't sit still, walking back and forth in the office anxiously, "There is no doubt that this nuclear fission fuel cell technology of the Alice Group is the foundation of ensuring the global interests of the United States of America for the next 50 years, and with this technology in our hands, the United States of America's control over the world will reach an unprecedented level, and no country will pose a threat to our national interests." ”

"But, Mr. President, this is a difficult matter," Rice said, looking embarrassed, "this company is not something we can deal with." ”

"So, for the sake of this technology, we have to do whatever it takes! I think that's what the bosses think too. Bush Jr.'s right hand was swung down fiercely and heavily!

"Chief, it has been confirmed that they are indeed using fuel cells as power, and the load flight test just carried out, the load capacity is 150 tons, and it is speculated that this load capacity can continue to be raised." As soon as the test flight was over, reporters and military attachés were busy taking out their mobile phones to make calls. Either to book the slot of tomorrow's newspaper or to hurry up to report to the leaders what they have seen, the domestic military departments, which have the advantage of time and place, will naturally never give up this excellent opportunity and report the situation found here to Minister Cao Cao as soon as possible. …,

After a while, Minister Cao didn't speak for the time being, he needed some time to digest the content of these words.

"In other words, this aircraft, if converted into an air tanker, will have the capacity to carry at least 200 tons of fuel, and we can completely ignore its flight range?" After a little silence, Minister Cao asked.

He instantly realized the military nature of this aircraft. In addition to being the largest use as a transport aircraft, it is also the most scarce equipment in China: a super-large air tanker!

An air tanker that can carry more than 200 tons of fuel, even if it is as strong as the United States! This means that 25-40 heavy fighters can be refueled in the air with just one air tanker! For the domestic air force, which has always lacked long-range air combat forces, it almost symbolizes a huge leap in combat capability and combat strength!

This is too important, which means that the Chinese army, which does not have any overseas bases, has the ability to maneuver around the world without stopping when faced with an extreme situation that it has to face one day! And it can also greatly make up for the shortcomings of the short legs of the J-7 and J-8 fighters! On top of that, the aircraft also has a near-infinite flight range: powered by a nuclear fission fuel cell, the aircraft's theoretical flight time is measured in years......

"That's right." The subordinate nodded, his expression extremely affirmative.

"Okay, learn as much as you can, report to me as soon as possible!" After thinking about it, Minister Cao said.

"Yes!" The officer immediately joined his feet and replied loudly.

At the same time, similar or diametrically opposed instructions reverberated in the sky at this moment, through the invisible and pervasive radio waves in the air.

"Experimental aircraft powered by nuclear fission fuel cells, AIP submarines powered by hydrogen fuel cells, fixed-wing aircraft and rotary-wing aircraft powered by hydrogen fuel cells will be launched in the next step, hey, this Alice Group, this is going to play a big game......" Tapping lightly on the table, looking at the various information and materials summarized in a short period of time, Minister Cao thought thoughtfully, thinking about what should be done to best serve his own interests, "I just don't know what the cost of replacing this power system is, if it is not very high, It would be better if the power system of the domestic transport aircraft could be replaced, and it would be better if it could be replaced with nuclear fission fuel cell power, but the cost was ......"

Minister Cao muttered in his heart, thinking about the budget of the renovation plan published by Alice Group on the website of their aircraft manufacturing company, he couldn't help but shake his head, but his eyes were staring at the model of the Y-8 transport plane on his desk: Although the Y-8 transport plane claims to have a maximum carrying capacity of 20 tons of materials, if it is fully loaded with 20 tons of materials, the flight distance is quite limited. And the most affected by the limited flight distance is naturally the combat effectiveness of the army.

Although he was quite skeptical about the renovation cost announced by the Alice Group, he couldn't say anything, this technology is currently only in the hands of the Alice Group, and for the first time, no company or country in the world has this new energy technology that can only be described as cross-era and against the sky.

However, there is no doubt that even if the power system is replaced with ordinary hydrogen fuel cell power, there is no need to consider the problem of fuel carrying and range: even if it is driven by hydrogen fuel cells, the flight range will be at least more than 10,000 kilometers under full load flight conditions, right? Not a lot of words

"I would like to discuss this at the meeting." Minister Cao drew a heavy circle on the line he wrote. …,

Thinking that Alice Group is still helping itself to carry out the modification of a submarine hydrogen fuel cell + lithium-ion battery, Minister Cao is a little more relieved: as long as you evaluate it and confirm that the performance and stability of this thing can meet the requirements of the military, then you must change it!

"To get in touch with the Alice Group as soon as possible, on the basis of the previous one, it is necessary to expand the depth and breadth of the field of cooperation, I heard that the Alice Group has made a great breakthrough in laser technology, and I don't know whether it is true or false...... Damn, I don't know how many good things the damn Alice Group still hasn't come up with. "Especially the last point, which makes Minister Cao hate it so much: can't you just take out all the good things at once? I have to squeeze it out little by little like squeezing toothpaste!

I don't want to think about it, if you are not a relative, why should people give you their good things for free.

Minister Cao now has a magical premonition, it seems that Alice Group will be fully involved in domestic military production in the near future, and will even have a leading impact on the development of military industry and military technology around the world! Of course, the basis of all this cooperation is based on the fact that the technical strength of Alice Group can indeed reach the height of its own expectations, and if it cannot be reached, naturally everything does not need to be mentioned.

Such a scene is not only between China and the United States, but also in the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and even India and Japan.

――――――――――――――――

Compared with Minister Cao, Zhang Lan and her ambitions are even greater, and when she thinks of the two An-225 "Dream" super heavy strategic transport planes that are engaged in air cargo work in China, she can't help but start wondering: Is it necessary to replace the power system of the An-225 with fuel cell power? Anyway, this guy doesn't have to carry the space shuttle into the sky in his own hands, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to use a counter-rotating propeller fan to propel it.

Having said that, the high-altitude performance of the D-18T turbofan engine used on the An-225 aircraft is not very good, if it is replaced with hydrogen fuel cell power that does not require much oxygen to do work, maybe this aircraft can still fly higher than before?

Thinking that the world's largest take-off weight, the longest range, the largest payload, the largest volume, and at the same time the world's largest turbofan engine-propelled transport plane in front of him was about to be turned into the largest transport plane in history with the power propulsion of the opposite engine, Zhang Lan's psychology felt that she was about to move: The key is that after the modification, the flight cost of the An-225 will go directly from Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench, and basically all the money earned will be her own.

Spoof!

But at present, this idea is just an idea at present, whether to make him real, this question, Zhang Lan feels that there is no hurry for the time being, the current top priority is how to deal with those Americans and Europeans who are impassioned in front of themselves, saying how to stand up to the damned Japanese, but behind their backs they hook up with the Japanese.

Of course, it's not entirely correct to say that they are all badass, at least Ford is very firmly on the side of the Alice Group...... That's why I chose that, Bill. Ford is also helpless, you think he is willing to be the enemy of the whole world, but now the whole world knows that Ford Motor is the most loyal ally of the Alice Group, and he really betrayed the past, not to mention how the Alice Group, which has already grasped the lifeblood of his group, will clean himself up when the time comes, just those cunning and damn capitalists who have a fight with wild wolves, will they believe what they say?

At this moment, crying with a sad face, I feel that the pressure on my body is even more aggrieved than the turtle carrying a stone tablet in ancient Chinese mythology: Whoever I recruited to provoke someone, didn't I take advantage of Alice a little more before? ……，
