Since the opening of the flagship store of Infinite Future Company in Jianghai City, the aircraft model placed in the lobby after entering the door has always been an eye-catching weapon, and has even become a photo mecca for many Chinese and foreign tourists.

Roughly calculated, it has been nearly half a year since the flagship store opened, except for the initial media speculation that this aircraft may be a new product being developed by the company, but there has been no relevant official news, and everyone has decided that this is just a super-large ornament that adds a sense of science fiction. But I didn't expect that after half a year, there was a sudden reversal.

The first of these managers here is that they are shocked that the company's technical strength is bottomless, combined with the content of today's report and the boss's speech just now, and the conclusion is too informative - the company will not only make a new type of aircraft powered by electric propulsion, but also a transatmospheric vehicle that can support space travel.

Half a year ago, the shape design of the aircraft had been determined, and even the physical model had been made, but it had been leaking, so I suddenly learned the shock of the news today.

In the end, many people also have a little joy in their hearts, if they haven't understood it by now, it is impossible to reach the current height. Looking at today's situation, the boss is likely to have an arrangement for this new product, and those who can appear here will have a place in the new arrangement. It's a transatmospheric vehicle! Space Tourism! Any word you say is very forceful, and you can instantly feel a sense of pride that will change the world.

Chen Wenhao gave everyone a while, and after the people present had digested these sudden messages, he pointed to the projection of the aircraft and continued to introduce, "I believe everyone has recognized it, yes, it is exactly the same as the model on display in the flagship store." In fact, this project has already started, and it has been kept low because the power system as the 'heart' is still being tackled, and there are also major components such as life support systems and communication systems that are in the testing stage. But now that a major breakthrough has been made in the power system, I think the project can be put to the surface. ”

"With a total length of 12 meters, this aircraft abandons the current mainstream rocket engine in the world and will use a new electric propulsion system. The two are easy to distinguish, and compared to the red tail flame of the rocket engine, the cylindrical ejection zone at the tail of this aircraft will emit a blue light when activated, and the emission is a stream of high-energy ions. ”

"Because it does not require a very large proportion of fuel, the new aircraft can accommodate six passengers at a time, and the cost of each transatmospheric flight will be much lower than the current mainstream approach." Chen Wenhao paused, "The preliminary estimate may only be 10% of the cost. ”

Everyone burned again, only 10% of the current cost, then this space tourism is too interesting. At present, several foreign aerospace companies that claim to be able to provide space tourism services, the cheapest service quotation is about 600,000 yuan, so ours only needs 60,000 yuan? No, even if the price is doubled, there is a premonition that the company's threshold will be stepped on by the applicants.

However, some people have raised questions, "The latest achievement of the electric propulsion system mentioned in the report just now is that the thrust of a single system is close to 1 ton, which is a leap forward compared to the mainstream electric propulsion technology, but if you want to support transatmospheric, it seems that the power is still insufficient." ”

Chen Wenhao did not feel sorry for the question, but glanced at the questioner appreciatively, thoughtful and has a certain professional background, which can allow him to carry a little more burden in the next project operation. His answer was, "The R&D team has been on the right track in electric propulsion technology, and has established a data model according to the existing test data, and the calculation results obtained by using supercomputing are that the thrust lift curve still has great potential, and the possibility of a hundredfold increase in the short term will reach more than 70%." ”

This is a serious lie, and a supercalculation is used to fool people. The company has set up its own supercomputer center, which many managers know, but few really know the details, and the relevant computing performance parameters have never been announced. There is a small card in it, and there is no special supercomputing department, and the most important supporting software of supercomputing is also taken care of. In normal times, the logistics department only needs to do a good job of cleaning, maintenance and hardware upgrades. At present, all departments in the park that need it automatically allocate computing resources through the supercomputing center, and the unanimous feeling is: fast.

Everyone suddenly became enlightened, whether they believed it or not, at least they were half-convinced, after all, Chen Wenhao's brilliant achievements were here, and he could always do what others couldn't.

Soon, the topic entered the content that everyone cared about. Chen Wenhao announced that a new division will be set up to take charge of space tourism projects.

In fact, Chen Wenhao is preparing to re-divide the company's organizational structure in the near future, and this time it is a rehearsal. With the continuous expansion of the company's various businesses, the original departmental system divided by job categories is a bit insufficient. After the adoption of the new business unit mechanism, each business department in the scope of the product in charge, the authority will be expanded a lot, and the person in charge of the business department directly reports to Chen Wenhao, which is equivalent to reducing the company's management level and speeding up the response speed of the work.

After listening to Chen Wenhao's explanation, everyone's eyes brightened, who doesn't want to have as much authority as possible when entering the management, sometimes you have to meet a boss who likes to take power, and you have to report for approval about any trivial things, which is called a suffocation. There is a saying in the workplace: a good boss is a good boss if he is willing to delegate power. Of course, this thing can't be generalized, and it's not for nothing that the decentralization is so much that it is put into the hole by the joint pit of his subordinates. Chen Wenhao is not worried about this, it is very simple, all the company's existing achievements are driven by black technology, who is in the hands of black technology? Hehe......

After the announcement of the management list of this new business division, some people were happy and no one was worried, and it was a matter of celebration to be able to enter the management of this business division that sounded like a full of qualifications. Full name of the business department: Manned Space Tourism Project Division, referred to as: Space Division!

The first task after the establishment of the business unit is to register a private aerospace company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the head office, and the affairs department will be fully responsible for the operation of this subsidiary.

Prior to this, there have been several private aerospace companies in China to complete the industrial and commercial registration, but basically belong to the entrepreneurial nature, looking at their business business, basically the technology is very mature, the difficulty is the lowest space link, most of the national space agencies are too lazy to do, the profit is not high business, such as small sounding rocket launches. It may sound a bit professional, but in fact, unlike the large launch vehicles that can easily reach hundreds of meters seen on TV, small sounding rockets are generally no more than 10 meters in length, no more than 0.5 meters in diameter, and have a payload of twenty or thirty kilograms. Its function is to send the instrument to dozens or hundreds of kilometers in the air, so that the instrument can make scientific observations for a few minutes in the process, and the entire flight trajectory is "straight up and down", which does not need to reach the first cosmic velocity, nor does it need to enter orbit and do actions such as releasing equipment. To put it bluntly, it is a smarter and strengthened version of the "Cloud Piercing Arrow".

It is foreseeable that once the business department applies for the registration of an aerospace enterprise, the "manned space flight" within its business scope will be blinded.
