After Huang Haojie explained the matter to Chen Wenfeng, the person in charge of the Vacuum Engineering Research Institute, he went to another research institute.

Airship Institute.

As a research institute set up at the beginning of Galaxy Technology, although the Airship Research Institute seems to be unknown in Galaxy Technology and outside, their ability is still okay.

"Boss, welcome to the Airship Institute." Wang Tu, the person in charge of the Airship Research Institute, saw Huang Haojie and hurriedly ran over.

"I'll come over and work for a while, and I'll have an office for me."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Wang Tu hurriedly went to arrange this matter.

The internal space of the airship research institute is quite huge, after all, these airships are often hundreds of meters.

Inside a huge lab floor.

A huge airship was lying quietly in it.

Huang Haojie called up the experiment log of the airship research institute and quickly found out the information about the airship.

[Forward class transport airship (Experiment Type 6), length ...... Payload 300 tons...... ］

This airship is a near-Earth atmosphere airship, which is mainly used for transportation, and the payload is the weight of the cargo that can be carried.

This airship, at full load, can fly in the air at an altitude of about 8,000 meters and can reach a cruising speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

The graphene solar power film laid on the upper part of the airbag can supply about 60% of the electric energy consumption of the airship.

In fact, the reason for the development of this airship is mainly to enhance the transportation capacity of agricultural products of Fengdu Group.

After all, the infrastructure in the eastern part of the country is relatively perfect, and the terrain is relatively flat, so the logistics are relatively convenient.

However, in the southwest, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the northwest region, the infrastructure in these regions is relatively backward, and the terrain is very complex, and the logistics cost has risen sharply, and the speed is very slow.

At this time, the advantages of the transport airship are reflected.

If 300 tons of agricultural products are transported from Chengdu in Shu Province to Yangcheng in Lingnan, the distance between the two roads is about 1800~2000 kilometers, and the truck travels at an average speed of 80 kilometers per hour, which takes 22~25 hours.

In fact, the truck will never be able to reach Yangcheng from Chengdu in about 22~25 hours, after all, people need to rest, and the time to go up and down the highway intersection, plus some areas with complex terrain, this time should be at least doubled.

This time may be further extended if there is a traffic jam, road repairs, traffic accidents, or weather conditions.

The airship is different, the airship is in a straight line, the straight-line distance from Yangcheng to Chengdu is 1200 kilometers out of a point, and the airship moves at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, which can be reached in about 12 hours.

In addition, the airship does not pay tolls, and the energy is about 60% self-sustaining, plus Galaxy Technology can passivate the deflagration characteristics of hydrogen, so there is no need to use expensive helium.

The Institute for Social Research has cooperated with the Airship Research Institute to do relevant research work.

At the current cost, airship transportation consumes 0.6 kWh per kilometer, 1000 km consumes 600 kWh, minus 60% of the self-sustaining electricity, which is equivalent to 240 kWh for 1000 km, and 96 CN$ for 1,000 km according to the internal electricity cost of Galaxy Technology of 0.4 Huayuan per kWh.

Of course, in fact, there must be more than that, after all, you also need to consider the electricity consumption of cold storage, driver's air conditioning, and other equipment.

Even so, the electricity bill will not exceed 200 Chinese dollars.

The domestic logistics cost is about 0.53 Chinese yuan per ton per kilometer (average), and it takes 280,000 Chinese yuan to transport 300 tons of agricultural products from Chengdu to Yangcheng.

It is equivalent to the logistics cost of 933 Chinese yuan for one ton of agricultural products, of course, considering that some trucks are seriously overloaded, the logistics cost can be further compressed to 300 Chinese yuan per ton.

But even so, the advantages of airship transportation are still very obvious.

The average logistics cost of airships is about 0.1~0.15 yuan per ton per kilometer.

In addition, airships have another important advantage, that is, the supporting facilities are low, unlike trucks need roads, trains need railways, and airplanes need airports.

The airship only needs an open space where it can be moored, and if it is in a grassland desert area, it can also be moored directly.

This advantage is very useful for the southwest and northwest regions where the infrastructure is relatively backward.

Just look at the trucks running the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, it is simply playing with life, with the deep valley of the cliffs on one side and the towering mountains on the other.

If you accidentally fall, there will be absolutely no bones left, and you must also beware of rockfalls, landslides, and mudslides.

And the airship only needs to consider the weather reasons, in fact, the weather reasons, the airship research institute also took into account, that is, to reduce the load capacity and reduce the cargo transportation volume of the airship to about 100 tons.

Then go straight to the bottom of the stratosphere, where bad weather in the troposphere is self-defeating.

In fact, the five experimental airships produced by the Airship Research Institute are now in trial operation.

However, due to the troublesome application for the waterway, the No. 1~3 experimental airships operated in the southwest of the country, and the remaining No. 4 and No. 5 experimental airships were pulled to the East Island.

Now Galaxy Technology is negotiating with the aviation management department on matters related to the transportation of airships, after all, the technology of the Airship Research Institute is almost mature, and it is almost time to put it into use.

……

East Island Aviation Academy.

Since the East Island is now the territory of Galaxy Technology, the previous feeling of saber-rattling has been greatly eased.

After Tianhan Security Company took over the security affairs of the East Island, the Aviation Academy and Air Power were also taken over.

At the beginning, the people of the East Island Air Power System thought that they would be settled by the Autumn Queen, and many people felt panicked.

However, after the Tianhan Security Company took over, it did not engage in any major purges, but carried out a comprehensive rectification of their aircraft and base equipment.

After all, their planes and equipment are crooked goods, there must be a back door inside, and the GPS positioning system cannot be used, Tianhan Security has replaced the chips and systems on all the equipment.

In addition, some aircraft that can be used are upgraded, such as adding absorbing coatings, holographic stealth, and the like.

This was followed by the streamlining and mixing of some institutions and personnel.

Tianhan Security is directly under Huang Haojie, and Zhong's stand-in robot Huang Zhong serves as the president.

The security force of Tianhan Security Company can be said to be very powerful, including the ground surface, aerospace department, sea patrol department, network department, internal affairs department, logistics department, equipment department, business research department, special forces department, and training department.

And the aviation academy belongs to the training department.

Teachers and students at the Aviation Academy are worried about their future.

Inside a pilot cadet dormitory.

Touch! The dormitory door suddenly opened.

"Whew! Good news! A round-faced young man rushed in.

The three people in the dormitory were attracted by the words of the round-faced young man.

One of them, a dignified-looking young man with a pair of sword eyebrows, put down the book in his hand:

"Success! What good news! ”

"It's not like we can go home, right?" Another somewhat bohemian young man laughed at himself.

Li Chengye took a breath: "We can continue to stay in training and study, but the college has readjusted its majors and added two departments, namely the airship piloting department and the aerospace department, I heard that it is in the direction of civil aviation." ”

"Airship piloting? Department of Astronautics?" The sword-eyed young man frowned.

Some unruly young people were confused, and asked the young man with Jianmei: "What's the use of this airship professional department, do you want to drive those sightseeing airships?" Sihan, what do you think?"

"It's not a sightseeing airship, it's this! Look! Li Chengye handed Zhang Sihan a thin brochure.

Zhang Sihan and the other two looked at it together.

Transport airship? Space exploration?

How does it feel a bit like bragging! Does this Tianhan Group still have a space business?

These days, Zhang Sihan and others have learned some bits and pieces of news through the Internet.

They know that the current controller of the East Island is the Galaxy-Tianhan Foundation, but they don't seem to have an aerospace business, right?

For a while, several people were confused.
