After the visit, it was close to midnight, but everyone in the visiting group was not tired, and even several older experts were excited.

Regarding Chen Wenhao's suggestion to rest first and talk tomorrow, no one was willing. The oldest academician Niu also said, "Xiao Chen, comrades are very excited, mainly because they have realized the technical strength of your company. ”

Okay, the teacher spoke, and then looked at the eager eyes of the others, Chen Wenhao shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much, just beckoned the logistics staff to prepare more supper and coffee. He is not tired, and his body, which has been optimized by alien technology, can be refreshed after sleeping three or four hours a day.

The venue originally wanted to choose the conference center of the headquarters building, the space and environment are better, but the visitors did not want to delay even ten minutes of transfer, so they chose a simple conference room built in the hangar. This place is usually used by the technicians on duty in the hangar, the area is not large, the delegation of more than 30 people sat in, and the scene was full in an instant, Chen Wenhao simply called Shen Tian, and two people accompanied him.

However, although it is simple, it is also equipped with a holographic interactive projection system. This product, which many companies in the outside world are struggling to seek cooperation, has been popularized as a must-have for meetings and exhibitions within the group. Shen Tian turned on the projection system with his personal terminal, and the hologram of the drop-shaped aircraft appeared in the middle of the center of the conference round table.

If it is a full score of 10, the amount of technology of ordinary holographic projection can be given 5 points, and the 360-degree holographic projection without dead angles can be scored 6 points, so those who can interact with the induction like the one in front of them can also give at least 9 points. In those well-known large-scale laboratories in Europe and the United States, such holographic projections are still only a rudimentary product and cannot be mass-produced.

Such a mature interactive holographic projection naturally attracts a lot of attention. Fortunately, everyone has been affected a lot when they visited before, subverting a lot of cognition, and now their tolerance has generally increased their level. In addition, when Shen Tian was operating, Yun was lightly like opening a PPT, without the slightest intention of showing off, and everyone subconsciously suppressed their surprise, but silently raised the rating of Infinite Future Company in their hearts.

There is a good saying that what is invisibly pretended to be the most deadly.

After the visitors communicated in a whisper, Dai Junpeng was replaced as the spokesperson this time, and he had been following the crowd without talking much, "We want to know if this all-electric power engine can be transplanted to other carriers?" ”

Shen Tian asked Chen Wenhao for instructions with his eyes, he was more in charge of on-site assembly and commissioning, and Chen Wenhao was mainly responsible for the research and development work, and he couldn't answer this kind of question.

Chen Wenhao was confident, clicked a few times on his personal terminal, and two more projection screens popped up and appeared near everyone's seats. "We have been prepared for this for a long time, this is the company's R&D team has done a power system development report, the third point in which a detailed analysis of the feasibility of transplanting this power system to other means of transportation."

Several technical experts didn't care about the surprise, without saying a word, with extremely agile movements each seized the most favorable viewing position, after finding that the report on the light screen could be flipped with a touch of a finger, directly turned to the position that Chen Wenhao said, and immersed himself.

"I won't talk about the specific details, there are all in the report, just the conclusion: after calculation, this electric propulsion engine is most suitable for transplantation on the current rocket, and the preliminary estimate can reduce the launch cost by more than 70%." Chen Wenhao said, "Intra-atmospheric aircraft can also be used, but there is a problem at present, if the afterburner is repeated and output, the power consumption rate will be accelerated, that is, if it is installed on a military aircraft, the endurance time may be relatively short." ”

The representative from the Navy is also familiar with the face, but he asked the question before the representative of the Air Force, "If it is transplanted to the J15, what is the combat radius?" ”

Chen Wenhao spread his hands, "Regarding the content of the power loss, there is detailed information in the report. But I can't answer your question, the calculation of the combat radius needs to be substituted into various parameters of the aircraft, and I don't have this kind of data. If I do, I guess someone will invite me to tea. ”

Everyone in the room laughed, and even the representatives of the military intelligence and security services curled their lips. The questioner also knew that he had asked a stupid question, and smiled awkwardly and remained silent.

For a while, only a few technical experts were left gathered in front of the light screen, discussing in whispers from time to time.

Compared with Chen Wenhao's light breeze, Shen Tian, who is directly responsible, is obviously more concerned about the progress of the project. He changed the topic in time, "Leaders, I don't know if you have any valuable opinions on our company's environment and products, please don't hesitate to give advice." Also, about our company's application for a space test flight, can it be approved? ”

Anyway, this is the main purpose of the delegation's visit.

Speaking of this test flight application process, it is also quite tortuous. After the new engine successfully passed the 480-hour uninterrupted test run, the company submitted an application for manned space test flight to the relevant departments.

There are two key points of the test flight: one is to go into space, and the other is to carry people!

Otherwise, there is no need for the company to apply. The airspace over Yidong Park and adjacent to dozens of kilometers has been registered in the Air Force and the Civil Aviation Administration, which is a bit specially approved for the exclusive use of Infinite Future.

The application was sent to the Civil Aviation Administration, and it was politely returned, "Big brother, don't embarrass us." Your goal is the sea of stars, and it is not under our control if the height exceeds 30,000 meters. Why don't you try the space agency? ”

The space agency was also very confused, it had never thought of such an application, and it was not even sure whether it had the authority to approve it. We just want to play with rockets quietly, why embarrass us.

The military's reply was clear: as long as it is properly approved, there will be no problem with the use of airspace. However, it does not solve the main problem.

…… After walking around, no department dared to take over the processing of this application. The point is, it's unprecedented. In the end, this application was reported through multiple departmental channels and directly reached Tianting. In this way, it is still because the company has cooperated with these units to a greater or lesser extent, and the company is also a key enterprise of the central government. Otherwise, this kind of application will only be pressed to the bottom of the box if it goes around the circle between the ministries and commissions.

The reaction of the Central Committee came quickly enough, and therefore there was such a joint delegation led by the Central Military Commission. And the attention is somewhat beyond imagination, and generally such cross-ministry and even cross-military joint work is rarely carried out before the Spring Festival holiday, and this time is an exception.

In fact, this vaguely reveals the opinion tendency of the central authorities. People in the system don't need to say anything, they can only understand.

Dai Junpeng seemed to have been authorized by Lao Wu, and his answer was very sincere, "Considering the particularity of this test flight, after the delegation goes back, it must first truthfully report what it has seen this time before it can draw a final conclusion." I can only say now that, in view of the previous cooperation and this on-the-spot inspection, the Central Military Commission agrees with the technical strength of your company. ”

He added, "Is it possible to consider putting the manned thing aside for a while?" After all, when it comes to personal safety, all parties will be much more cautious, and the public may be prone to dissenting voices. ”

Chen Wenhao shook his head, "I understand the worries of leaders at all levels, but I still insist on this." First of all, I have confidence in the company's technology and products, and I am supported by the results of engine tests and the simulation results of the supercomputing model. The testers voluntarily signed up for the selection within the company, and I personally prepared to participate. ”

"Secondly, it is also the need for commercial promotion. Not long ago, the private space company in the United States successfully launched a reusable rocket and sent its sports car into space, which is a very successful example of commercial promotion. Related news has been swiped on media platforms all over the world, and you may have seen the reaction on the domestic network, many people worship and envy in various ways, and complain that domestic technology companies only know how to sell game props, bid to sell rankings or something. Although this is not entirely wrong......"

Halfway through the words, someone couldn't hold back their laughter.

Chen Wenhao also smiled slightly, and continued, "However, from a technical point of view, although it is an old wine in a new bottle, from a commercial point of view, it is indeed a stroke of genius that maximizes its influence." For the general public, sports cars, which can form a deep memory, are naturally more acceptable than boring technical explanations. Now we are conducting a test flight, which is also a promotion. Although we don't have to consider shareholders and don't need external capital to participate, I hope to tell everyone that China's technology companies are very good, good enough, and have the coolest and most advanced products! Of course, the company will also do a good job of sufficient security measures, on this part of the content, we will form a special safety report, submitted to the leaders. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and Minister Wu took the lead in applauding, spreading from individuals to groups, and the atmosphere was very warm. He said, "I will truthfully write Mr. Chen's words into the report." Just these words, I think that even if Mr. Chen is not a business, he will still have great achievements in the army, and what he wants is this momentum. ”

……

It was in this atmosphere that the evening symposium ended. On the second day, the delegation also visited the company's supercomputing center and witnessed the flight simulation test software developed for aerospace aircraft. Several experts, including Academician Niu, also can't put down a bunch of other supporting software running in the supercomputing center, and they can't wait to take it out.

After these years of development, the domestic supercomputer resources have actually been quite powerful, but the biggest shortcoming is the lack of suitable supporting software, according to Academician Niu, I am afraid that half of the computing power is therefore idle. If Chen's company intends to enter the development of supercomputing supporting software, I am afraid that it will be able to sweep a market again, and it will not even be able to find a decent competitor. It's a pity that Chen Wenhaozhi is not here. But in any case, after this visit, everyone has a lot of confidence in the company's technical strength.

In the evening of the next day, the delegation returned to Beijing on a military plane with a thick layer of technical materials and relevant reports to report on the situation. Chen Wenhao once again took people to say goodbye on the spot. Once again, the technicians of the tower have a place to use, and they are eager for military planes to come to the door every day.

"Alright, let's all go back. We've done everything we need to do, so let's wait for the feedback from above, I don't think there is much hope for a year ago. Everyone has a good Spring Festival with peace of mind. Chen Wenhao watched the military plane climb into the sky and waved to disband the team at the scene.

There is a good saying that life is to have accidents before there are surprises.

On the third day of the delegation's departure, the last working day before the Spring Festival, a red-headed official document came down: on the premise of doing its best to ensure safety, the company was allowed to carry out manned space test flights.
