"It's all off work?" After a Chinese courtesy, Academician Niu walked in front of the team, standing at the gate of the hangar, he asked a little puzzled, and did not forget to look at the watch on his wrist.

At this time, it is just after 8 o'clock in the evening, and most units naturally leave work early, but that is for ordinary companies and ordinary departments. In the key R&D department, this point seems to be a bit far from getting off work. Not to mention anything else, with a somewhat famous Internet company in China, the 996 work system is the norm. Like Academician Niu in the unit, he is used to the brightly lit laboratory at night.

Not only him, but everyone else was a little strange, looking through the open hangar door, there was a black rumbling. Everyone had contacted in advance before they came, and specifically mentioned that they wanted to see the aerospace vehicle, and it stands to reason that even if they get off work, there should be a left-behind reception staff.

"Teacher, just take a few steps inside." Chen Wenhao didn't explain on the side, only made a welcome gesture.

"Haha, okay, let's take a few steps." Academician Niu knew that this special student was quite steady, so he must have made some arrangements and took the lead in the door.

Everyone rushed in, and after only taking two steps, they felt that they were looking at the inside of a pitch-black hangar outside the door, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and suddenly they saw that there was already a group of people waiting at the entrance. Looking inside, there are not only several aircraft parked in the hangar, but also many staff members busy with them.

It was as if they had collectively passed through a door of light and entered a whole new world.

A few young people couldn't help but look around, trying to move their feet, and test two completely different visions.

"This is an unexpected gain in the company's research and development of holographic projection, which emits electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency in a specific way, which can offset the wavelengths of various light waves within a certain range."

Chen Wenhao pointed to the circle range at the door, "After testing, the visible light of the human eye in the range of 400 to 700 nanometers can be completely shielded, and the infrared light band in the invisible light can also be perfectly shielded, and the sound conduction can be weakened to a great extent, which is more suitable for anti-peeping and anti-eavesdropping. ”

Under the attention of everyone's mixed expressions of surprise, surprise, and thought, Chen Wenhao continued to explain, "In addition to the location of the entrance, all the windows of the hangar are also set, and the current test effect is not bad. And the team has already done an upgrade, leaders can look back, this shielding can be set to one-way, like now, from the inside to the outside will not be affected. ”

Academician Niu and several other experts have already begun to care about technical issues, and representatives of military intelligence and security departments are obviously more interested, and they also ask about the release time of the official product.

Minister Wu, as the head of the department in charge of the overall planning of military equipment, is also very interested in the new type of equipment, but it sounds like the scope of application of this product is not large, at most a few sets will be purchased in the future to try. With the main purpose of this visit in mind, he reminded him, "Every time I come to Mr. Chen, I always have a novel feeling. But it's not too early, so let's ask Mr. Chen to take us to see this spacecraft that can go into space. ”

Although the group came from many departments and systems, Minister Wu had the highest position, and everyone naturally took him as the leader. Chen Wenhao didn't say much on the side, just guided everyone to the depths of the hangar. However, he was a little amused in his heart, the relevant R&D team had submitted a new version of the improvement plan for the optical shielding wall, and if Minister Wu could know the content of this plan, he would definitely not be so calm.

Optical interference and shielding are used to the extreme, which can not only affect people's vision, but also block the ubiquitous satellite peeps in the sky. According to the goals set in the scheme, the next version of the finished product will allow all objects in the area of influence, including large buildings, to remain invisible in remote detection. The feasibility test has been run several times on the supercomputer, and the resulting modified version of the scheme has been evaluated by the supercomputing system (in fact, it is Xiao Kagan's) to achieve a realization rate of more than 9%. Moreover, this version of the new scheme is only for fixed areas, and it may be possible to go further in the future, so that moving objects are not monitored by satellites.

Simply imagine that the aircraft carrier formations that went out on a mission disappeared from the surveillance footage of all high-altitude satellites! It's a beautiful picture!

Compared with these new technologies and new products that have appeared and will appear, what makes Chen Wenhao even happier is that the company's R&D strength has played an initial role in continuing to invest heavily in the introduction of talents, supplemented by a relatively relaxed and free research environment, especially the supercomputer system with Xiaoka as a test weapon. There are still a lot of alien technologies waiting for them to localize.

However, as they went deeper inside, the attention of the visitors shifted to the hangar environment and the aircraft. The whole hangar as a span of more than 300 meters, width of more than 120 meters of huge space, when I first came in, I felt a large open space, and when I got closer, I found that there was a mystery, except for the side of the gate, the other three walls are equipped with all-steel structure passages, which are divided into three layers. The hangars are clearly divided into different areas according to their functions, and in some cases there are small enclosed buildings. The staff is also mainly concentrated in a few specific areas, and in many more areas, there are automatic machines of various shapes, but because most of them are not opened, they are not very noticeable at first.

Having said so much, I can actually use four words to describe the feeling of first sighting: I don't know how I feel!

After a few steps, everyone approached the nearest aircraft to the gate, Chen Wenhao motioned to a person in charge who was waiting at the door of the hangar just now to explain, "This is Shen Tian, the person in charge of the space tourism division of our group, he knows the specific situation of the project better than me, and then let him report the progress of the project to the leaders." ”

Shen Tian is also an aviation professional background, in an aviation research institute to do ten years of technology development, and then transferred to the city administrative cadres, a few years later by a private aircraft (helicopter) manufacturer asked to be the deputy general manager of production, and later in charge of the market, the enterprise to do a boom, just three years rushed to the first in the industry.

After the establishment of the space tourism division of Infinite Future, the person in charge has not been decided, and finally the headhunting company strongly recommended it, Chen Wenhao had a long talk with him, and then directly made the introduction. In the past few months, although the new business department has directly embarked on major projects, he has also taken care of all kinds of complicated affairs in an orderly manner, and the progress has not lagged behind.

Shen Tian is in his early forties, which is the golden age for a man in the workplace to have the best balance of professional ability and personal energy. Its appearance is also a plus, tall and straight, with a dignified appearance, which is completely the image of the square character in the main theme movie. He had been informed of the visit of an important guest and was ready for it.

Taking over Chen Wenhao's explanation task, Shen Tian led everyone to surround a flying machine, "Leaders, please see, this type of transatmospheric aircraft has been produced four at present, using composite engine power, and the main power adopts the electric propulsion engine system independently developed by our company, which has passed the ground test bench test, and has carried out many simulated transatmospheric flights in the supercomputing system, and the success rate of take-off and return has reached 100%. ”

In addition, the vehicle is also equipped with two auxiliary rocket power engines, using relatively mature fourth-generation hydrogen-oxygen engine technology as auxiliary power in the atmosphere. And in the event of a problem with the electric propulsion engine, relying on these two rocket engines can also ensure the safe landing of the aircraft. ”

As soon as Shen Tian's words fell, an expert with ultra-thick glasses asked, "What is the proportion of thrust provided by the electric propulsion engine to the total thrust?" ”

"When the atmosphere is in flight, it is dynamically adjusted in the 55-60% range. Go into space, all with electric propulsion engines. ”

The expert questioned, "Your aircraft weighs at least 10 tons, right?" Now several major countries in the world are researching electric propulsion engines, and China is at the forefront, but it is still far from this standard. If your electric propulsion system follows the Hall effect, it is theoretically impossible to generate thrust to drive such a large mass. ”

Shen Tian was not in a hurry, and waited for the expert to finish his words before he replied with a smile, "How it was achieved, this has to be answered by colleagues in the project research and development team." However, I can assure you that the aircraft in front of you is absolutely real. Next, we are ready for the first test flight in the practical sense. ”

Next, he faced a large number of inquiries from a large number of people, and the performance, indicators, and parameters were all answered fluently, but all the questions involving technical details were brushed aside. Come a few more times, and no one is too embarrassed to ask any more. Looking at Chen Wenhao, who was laughing and silent on the side, these experts who were obsessed with technology also reacted: After all, this is a private enterprise, how can the core technology of the new product be taken out here.

Next, after everyone visited the hangar, the test bench workshop and the 24-hour intelligent production workshop, especially a few people who had not paid attention to Infinite Future Company before, they already didn't know what appropriate language to express, and they were purely shocked by a series of tall scenes. For most of these visitors with technical backgrounds, even if the individual links are separated, each of them can be called the first class in the world, let alone all these things concentrated in a private company, which is simply incredible. They even wonder if they have been in scientific research institutes and laboratories for too long and have been out of touch with the outside world.

However, after several hours of visiting, the minds of those who were skeptical before have been shaken: because such a private high-tech enterprise has never existed, perhaps, the aerospace aircraft beyond the mainstream theoretical scope can really be successfully realized here.
