Zhang Liyan: "Boss, have you finally figured it out?" ”

Chen Jing: "He must have been angry by today's news from the Peacock Space Agency." ”

Tang Chao did not deny this, otherwise he would not have suddenly changed the order and publicized the secret "Dart X" project.

The original plan was to complete the indoor test, and when the outdoor test was conducted, spy photos were "inadvertently" taken, and then uploaded on the Internet for a few days before having to be made public, and then it was a high-intensity publicity, and finally soared into the sky, shocking the world.

The time of this propaganda plan is after the first flight of the Peacock Federation manned spacecraft unmanned test, after all, indoor tests will also be carried out a lot, and it will take a lot of time, and the Peacock Federation's manned spacecraft will make its first flight next month.

So now that the propaganda has started in advance, plus they have also watched the aerospace news, they naturally know why.

"Boss, then what do we start with, or are we spy photos that were inadvertently taken? It's just that the indoor test is not good for taking spy photos, do you want the staff to leak it inadvertently? Zhang Liyan asked.

"No," Tang Chao smiled slightly, "Let's fly directly!" ”

"Huh?"

This time, not only Zhang Liyan was shocked, but even Chen Jing was shocked, "Tang Chao, isn't this a bit risky, I look at the progress report, it still has 70% of the indoor tests that have not been tested, is it too dangerous to make the first flight rashly?" ”

"Although its automation is very high, and the first flight can be made without people, if something happens to it, we will still have a lot of losses."

Don't look at Tang Chao has already taken out the core technology, the scientific research team of the pilot has only done some research on edge technology, and the rest is to produce core parts by itself and entrust the production of edge parts from other companies, and then concentrate on the company for assembly, but the first aircraft plus research and development funds still spent more than 200 million US dollars.

This is the largest amount of money that Navigator has spent so far, and it has never spent so much money on holding competitions, researching and manufacturing "Chuhang" and "Yuanhang" rockets, developing lunar probes, Yuegong-2, space station modules, etc.

Of course, it looks expensive, but in fact, the cost may not be as expensive as a top-notch fighter jet, let alone those rockets and space shuttles developed from scratch, tens of billions, play the same.

Let's say that the first ace pigeon SLS rocket cost more than 20 billion dollars.

Even if you squeeze out the water inside, such as what is not used in R&D, wasted, or swallowed, it is a huge amount of money.

Tang Chao's core technology still plays a considerable role.

And it also accounts for the reason of the first flight, the cost of the second flight can be reduced to 150 million US dollars, and the price can be lower after mass production after finalization.

However, this is a company secret, and most people do not know about it, except for a few people.

As a technician, although Zhang Liyan was also shocked, after he silently made calculations, he found that Tang Chao's "bold plan" was actually feasible and not too bold.

Their spacecraft manufacturing plan is really different from the previous tradition, without him, the core technology provided by the boss is so high that he was shocked for a whole day.

Cow Pie!

In fact, up to the current progress, a large number of tests have been omitted, and the tests to be done in the plan, in addition to giving yourself some peace of mind, are all for the national audit department to see.

After all, "Dart X" is destined to become an epoch-making space vehicle.

And they not only want to use it themselves, but also plan to sell it to other space agencies and space companies, so some data must be made public, and some preliminary test data will also be included.

The concept is different between what you use yourself and what you sell commercially.

The previous spacecraft were not enough for their own use, let alone sold in large quantities like airplanes.

So they are a bit of a feeling to cross the river by feeling the stones now, and in the future, maybe they will be touched by others.

In the opinion of him, the chief engineer, the "Dart X" can fly, and he has enough confidence that as for testing something, he can fly back and test it later.

If the boss must give the order for "Dart X" to take off directly, he can sign the consent form.

He also wanted to see Dart X flying in space sooner.

Then there is no problem, Chen Jing, as a business manager, is not a professional engineering and technical personnel, and he is faced with the two most authoritative engineering and technical personnel in the company, and he was quickly convinced.

Not to mention that Tang Chao is still the big boss of the company, although he doesn't care much about the management and operation of the company, his decision is quite important.

"Then the propaganda plan will be handed over to you, and the publicity date will be set for the day after the successful landing of the Peacock Federation's manned spacecraft, if they can succeed."

“……”

The boss's careful eye is terrible.

The Peacock Federation provoked no one, but it provoked the boss.

Wait for death, there is no help!

And it's not just the Peacock Federation, it's understandable that its manned spacecraft has been thrown into the old paper pile of history, and other countries and companies with manned space capabilities have died unjustly.

There are also those who have invested in manned spaceflight, but there are no results for the time being, and they are even more unjust.

The title "Manned Spacecraft Terminator" is no joke.

So during the propaganda period, they should also pay attention to the huge counterattack force that may come.

But deep down, I feel excited, what's going on?

Tang Chao's side, after deciding on the general publicity plan, he felt a lot less depressed in his heart.

In the past few days, he has been hiding in the snow mountain, and as soon as his mind was sublimated by the border guards and the plateau environment, he let him see Ah San, who was in a hurry, and Bai sublimated him.

At that time, the vehicles only drove along the road to the bottom of the mountain, and there was really no way to build the road above, so they had to get out of the car and climb the mountain road to go up.

In fact, there is also a convoy of test teams parked at the bottom of the mountain.

Fortunately, this road was specially built for this sentry, and they were all stopped at the end and were not afraid of blocking the road.

When they arrived, the test team had already begun the test mission, and there were many people busy with the communication command vehicle, command cabin and other engineering vehicles, as well as many test personnel and border guards equipped with the test exoskeleton.

Tang Chao had watched relevant documentaries before, and knew that the living conditions of the border guards on the snow-capped mountains in the border pass were relatively difficult, so he didn't come empty-handed and brought a lot of gifts.

Although the road was not built directly to the entrance of the Daisetsuzan outpost, a simple ropeway was built at the end of the road and on the top of the mountain, and the things were loaded into baskets divided into oil drums, and transported up at the push of a button.

Before the construction of the simple ropeway, the soldiers carried supplies on their shoulders every time, and sent supplies to the outpost on a mountain of more than 4,000 meters.

Tang Chao didn't bring any good things, just general vegetables and fruits, including tropical fruits, and some Jiangkou City specialties, which are not easy to eat here.

Most of the time on the high mountain with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters is below freezing, and at this time it is considered the height of summer, and the temperature is above freezing, and it feels okay.

But in winter, the temperature drops to minus a few tens of degrees, accompanied by endless wind and snow!

And in this case, the fighters had to go out every day, patrolling along the mountain tops, up to an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, to defend the national border of the motherland.

This is not the same as the highland border patrol routes in other places, some places are just pure plateaus, the terrain is relatively gentle, this belongs to the Himalayas, the mountains are too rugged, sometimes one is not careful to slide down the mountain.

It is also because of their difficult conditions, not only will this be the ultimate test site, but after the test is completed, they will also have an alpine snow version of the individual exoskeleton to assist them in patrol work.

In order to show his respect, Tang Chao brought these gifts, and he was afraid that he would not be allowed to bring them.

Of course, with Zhao Li following, this is not a matter, these gifts are at most the people's support for the army.

But Zhao Li's authority is like this, if Tang Chao pulls a few cars over, he will have to report to the top.

Tang Chao didn't do that, and he didn't make it difficult for him.

But he was happy early.
