On September 15, Zhou Yu personally walked through the Longshou Building to observe the work status of the employees.

After he fired Lin Yun, the operation to kill monkeys and chickens was a perfect success, and everyone's work enthusiasm increased by one or two percent.

Zheng Zixin quickly took over Xinghuo Electronics without causing any turmoil, and everything in the company was running normally.

Lin Yun thinks too highly of himself, and Xinghuo Electronics Company will still operate without anyone.

Zhou Yu returned to the office, he put on VR smart glasses, ready to watch the company's developed airship fly to the adjacent space.

The main reason why he chose to watch through the virtual world instead of going to the scene is that it takes a long time for the airship to prepare for takeoff, and this time it took 4 days to prepare.

Experiments are also not guaranteed to be 100% successful, and there is a certain chance of failure, which will waste his time.

Zhou Yu entered the designated virtual world and saw a huge shuttle-shaped airship floating in space.

The chubby young man standing next to him with a wrench in his hand was none other than the artificial intelligence Lu Ban.

"Little Luban, will you introduce me to the situation of the airship?" Zhou Yu greeted.

"Those otaku are too shy, they can't speak clearly in front of you, so I can only do it for you."

Zhou Yu knew the situation of Wang Jin's people, they were bored and research and development was okay, but none of them had good eloquence.

When it comes to the situation of the airship, there is really no clear understanding of artificial intelligence.

Lu Ban began to give Zhou Yu a detailed introduction to the data of the airship.

The maximum ceiling of the airship is 120 km above the ground, and the best ceiling is 100 km above the ground.

The air in the clouds above 100 kilometers above the ground is very thin, and it is already difficult to support the lifting of hundreds of tons of airship.

The airbag is made of ultra-thin organic material, which is filled with helium, and the weight of the entire airship is 1.2 tons.

The airship occupies an area the size of three football fields and can easily lift about 500 tons of materials.

The airship is surrounded by small aero engines, which can slowly adjust its position in the air to resist strong winds at high altitude and maintain the stability of the airship.

The neutrino communication base station is housed in a shield and is hoisted by the airship via 132 ropes.

These 132 ropes are coordinated by the system to keep the neutrino communication base station stable and not shake due to the wind direction at high altitude.

Zhou Yu stared at the full-scale model of the airship in the virtual world, its structure is very simple, it is composed of airbags and skeletons and the hoisting system of the airship.

Zhou Yu connected to Wang Jin's airship test base through the virtual world, and found that they were still assembling a huge airship.

They must ensure that every connection point of the airship is tight, and the airbag is not damaged by air leakage, in order to ensure that the airship can rise to the adjacent space normally.

Zhou Yu noticed that Wang Jin's process of developing the airship was very difficult, and many problems were solved, not as simple as he thought, just screening the existing technology.

He began to focus on the reasons for Wang Jin's previous failures.

In the first experiment, because the airbag was too large and the airship rose too fast, the airbag was directly hit by the airflow and fell apart, and the experiment failed.

In the second experiment, Wang Jin changed the material of the airship airbag and carried out special reinforcement on the airship airbag, and found that the speed of the airship rising was very fast, and the vibration caused by friction with the air could easily damage the base station equipment that was sensitive to vibration.

In the third experiment, Wang Jin reduced the size of the airship's airbags, causing the airship to hover at this altitude when it rose to 18 kilometers above the ground and no longer continued to rise.

The fourth is the experiment, Wang Jin uses a modular airship, the airship rises a certain limit, and the high-pressure helium will fill an air bag.

Through the gradual relay method, the airship can maintain a steady ascent speed in the air, and it can also enhance its ascent altitude.

The research of the experimental airbag was basically successful, but it was found that the fixed anchor on the ground was directly pulled up by the flying stiff.

Unable to secure the airship, the experiment failed, and they had to remotely control the airship to release helium and let it land slowly.

In the fifth experiment, Wang Jin built a concrete foundation of almost one acre and buried it 10 meters underground.

The foundation was strong enough not to be pulled up by the airship, but when the airship rose to the specified height, a strong wind directly pulled the steel cable that pulled the airship apart.

After analysis, the toughness of the steel cable is insufficient, coupled with its own weight is very large, resulting in disconnection from the fragile point.

In the sixth experiment, Wang Jin used a lightweight rope mixed with organic fiber filament and graphene fiber filament.

It is very light in weight and very tough, making it ideal for stationary airships.

Test experiments have found that in the adjacent space, due to the influence of air currents and other factors, the airship will float back and forth.

They tried to pass through multiple ropes, limiting the airship's range of movement.

……

In the 16th experiment, it was found that in the near space, because the atmosphere is very thin, there are many extracosmic rays through the rarefied atmosphere, irradiating the airship and base station equipment, affecting the operation of the equipment.

Zhou Yu saw that during the development of the airship, many experiments were carried out, and some problems were found and many problems were solved each time.

Even if Wang Jin announced the successful development of the airship, there were still many situations when the official test was carried out.

A capable young man immediately appeared in the virtual world, and from his young face, it could be seen that he was a college student who had just graduated.

This person is Wang Jin, the scientific research assistant of the Institute of Force and Machinery, and the person in charge of the near-space airship project.

Wang Jin reported confidently: "Mr. Zhou, we have finished testing the airship, and now it can be lifted into the air."

Zhou Yu snapped his fingers, and the virtual world immediately turned into the appearance of an airship test base.

His virtual image also appeared at the airship test base at the same time, and everyone's movements began to be synchronized.

This is one of the most widely used applications of VR technology in reality, which allows people to experience situations that are far away from him.

Zhou Yu set his eyes on the very large, suspended airship about 15 meters above the ground.

It has lifted a platform the size of a football field with a 1:1 model of a neutrino communication base station arranged on it.

The entire platform is covered with multiple shields of different materials, which are designed to prevent damage from cosmic rays.

"The airship can take off, it's time to test its capabilities." Zhou Yu commanded.

When Wang Jin heard Zhou Yu's order, he immediately began to command everyone to let the airship take off.

The airship is connected to more than 10 ropes that bind its movements, and each of these ropes is connected to the foundation.

As the airship gradually lifted off, the machinery and equipment on the ground also began to retract the ropes according to the airship's flight attitude.

The airship rose at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and it rose steadily all the way without encountering any twists and turns.

Zhou Yu paid attention to the situation of the airship for a while, and he began to deal with the normal work of Xinghuo Technology.

Five hours later, when Zhou Yu was eating, he heard Wang Jin's joyful voice.

"Mr. Zhou, we placed the airship in the adjacent space this time, which was a perfect success, and all technologies met the requirements of carrying neutrino base stations."

Zhou Yu immediately came to the virtual world and controlled his virtual projection at the airship test base.

His virtual image smiled and praised Wang Jin: "You have done a very good job, this time you are all promoted to researchers, and you are officially in charge of the near space airship project."

Wang Jin and all the project members immediately cheered, and their efforts finally paid off.
