Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Plasma Aircraft That Takes Shape

Finally, I thought about my sister, my sister was complaining about staying at home and having nothing to do, and Zhang Rou was at home to accompany her in the past, but during this time, Zhang Rou was also busy and was at home with her from time to time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Qiu Yu is working hard to take the children's exam at the beginning of next year, so she has no time to accompany his sister at all.

When he got home in the evening, he told his sister about it. And his sister agreed, and began to come to work in the factory the next day.

After coming to the factory, Zhu Lei took his sister to the office first, and explained to her what he wanted to do in the office, and then went to the plasma aircraft development center by himself, the development of plasma aircraft was carried out very quickly, Zhu Lei thought that it would take at least a year or more to see, but he was far from thinking that the development of plasma aircraft was carried out so quickly, and it would not be long before he could see the prototype of the plasma aircraft.

Zhu Lei came to the gate of the factory and drove towards the factory of the plasma aircraft, the factory of the plasma aircraft is in the open space on both sides of the end of the airstrip of the original fiefdom, after all, the plasma aircraft is different from others, it needs a flight runway, and there is no place in the factory where the flight runway can be built, and the most ideal place is near the flight runway in the fiefdom, so that he does not have to repeat the construction of the flight runway.

Soon Zhu Lei came to the plasma aircraft development center, and after parking the car, he walked into the factory building of the plasma aircraft development center.

After entering the factory, Zhu Lei immediately saw that in the middle of the factory, he heard that a plane had been painted gray, and the aircraft was parked there.

This plasma aircraft is not very large, although it is larger than ordinary fighters, but it is already very small compared with large aircraft such as transport planes and passenger planes, but this is only the first plasma aircraft, so Zhu Lei He is already very satisfied, and the load capacity of this plasma aircraft is not smaller than those large ones, in addition to the aircraft itself and various equipment on board, the load capacity of this aircraft is more than 100 tons.

The shape of this aircraft is also very peculiar, and it is very different from the mainstream aircraft on the earth now, like a huge acute triangle, and at a glance you know that this aircraft is very suitable for high-altitude and high-speed flying aircraft.

Looking at the plasma aircraft in front of him, which can be completed soon, Zhu Lei was very excited in his heart, after all, this plasma aircraft is the first aircraft of this type in the world, and it is also the first aerospace aircraft that can travel back and forth between heaven and earth, and it will not take long for him to see the attitude of this aircraft taking off, and it is very likely to carry out a loading flight, and it is a loading flight into space, if it goes well, then the pit friends may exceed the current progress of the Ming country.

However, in this world, he is not afraid of this, because he is the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, so in fact, he represents the Ming Dynasty, and if he succeeds in manned flight, then it also means the success of the Ming Empire, as for the people who want to fight his idea, Zhu Lei He will not pay attention. Because he is not afraid of these people, no matter how great the energy is of the royal family and the military, as long as people with a little brain, they will definitely not come now, of course, those traitors who betray the interests of the country and the nation are not excluded.

In fact, the plasma aircraft parked here is still only a prototype, of course, there are all kinds of defects in it, but they don't know it yet, or they don't know where the defects are before the real flight, no matter how it is calculated and simulated on the ground, it can not be fully calculated, and it will only be known when the real flight has passed.

Most of the accessories of this plasma aircraft are produced by Zhu Lei himself, and other factories outside can't produce them at all, not to mention the precision of these accessories, even the materials of these accessories are not something they can process, so Zhu Lei They can only process them, of course, the various electronic instruments above still use other units, because Daming is still trustworthy in this regard. Even the exoskeleton armor is now using its units.

However, due to Zhu Lei's continuous improvement of their requirements during this period of time, the units that provided them with electronic instruments are now trying their best to improve their performance to meet Zhu Lei's needs.

Although there are still many problems with this prototype, Zhu Lei is actually very satisfied with it to this extent, and this is the first time that humans in this world have designed such a flying machine. Therefore, Zhu Lei's current requirements are not high, but the safety of the aircraft and the people inside must be guaranteed, especially the safety of the personnel.

After all, the predecessors have always done things, everything depends on Zhu Lei's own exploration, although these people are all the top aerospace talents in the Ming Empire, but they don't have any experience in designing aerospace vehicles, and this is still using plasma thrusters as the power of the aircraft, so it is very good to be able to reach this level.

"This aircraft is generally very good, but if you want to operate in deep space in the future, there are a lot of things that need to be improved, especially the communication system of the aircraft, if it is only in low earth orbit, it does not have much impact, but once it enters deep space, then communication is our biggest problem, although we can use large equipment, or through satellites to communicate, but with the current means of communication of human beings, the communication delay in deep space and the homeland is too high, It may even take tens of minutes or more to send a communication message back, and even longer to come back and forth.

Although we have invested a lot of energy in the research and development of technology, from the current situation, our team has made very slow progress in this area, and it can even be described as turtle speed, and the investment is very large, and now we don't know whether to continue research.

After all, now that we have invested so much money, if we give up like this, then the funds we invested in the early stage will be completely wasted, but if we continue, no one knows how much money we have to invest in it, and we don't know when we will be able to produce results, so we don't know what to do now. Li Xingyu, the chief designer of the plasma aircraft, said.

"This new method of communication must continue to be studied, no matter how big the cost, otherwise with the current human communication technology, it will not be able to leave the solar system at all, if you want to go further, you must have faster means of communication, so no matter how big the cost, this technology must continue, you go and tell the staff who are researching this technology, the matter of funding tells them not to worry, I will support them no matter what, until the technology comes." When Zhu Lei heard Li Xingyu say this, he immediately replied resolutely.

Communication technology is very important in all eras, especially in the space age.

"Okay young master, I will tell them about your goods." Li Xingyu replied.
