Chapter 127: Apollo drones
Mr. Pei pointed to the scattered models on the sand table and continued to give a detailed introduction to Wang Yinan and Zhou Hui.
"In front of the headquarters building, there is a huge semi-artificial lake, which was renovated from the previous artificial wave test site of the Navy, and is connected to the entire natural lake, so the water quality is not a problem."
"Between the artificial lake and the building is a music square, I don't need to spend much effort on the specific design here, I have to leave some space for you to play, right?"
"All designs are based on the principle of technology and environmental protection, and reflect the sense of future-oriented science and technology under the premise of being as environmentally friendly as possible".
"The façade of the building is made of materials that can absorb sunlight for power generation, and the light transmittance can be adjusted freely, and the power generation of all the solar panels on the entire island can support the basic office requirements."
"Due to the full use of natural light for lighting, the requirements for indoor lighting equipment are also minimized",
"In addition, considering the cooling of the underground computer room, you said that it is best to use the water cooling solution, right?" said Mr. Pei.
Wang Yinan nodded, "Yes, we are currently using water cooling, which should be the most environmentally friendly and the most effective cooling method."
"So I planned a few artificial rivers on the island, here, here, and here," Mr. Pei pointed to the model and introduced it to Wang Yinan.
"Through the thermal expansion and contraction effect of water, the cold water introduced from the artificial lake will cool the supercomputer and then be heated, and because the hot water is relatively light, it will rise from the bottom, so that a water cycle can be naturally formed".
"The cooling water can be self-circulating by using only the heat generated by the calculation process without any additional equipment".
Wang Yinan gave a thumbs up, he is indeed a master, such an ingenious design scheme, only Mr. Pei can think of it. Making full use of the existing conditions, simple and practical without showing off skills, but can solve problems, this is a typical master's handiwork.
"The buildings on the island are built according to the original natural topography, and the basic principle is to change the natural environment as little as possible," said Mr. Pei.
"The existing ecological environment of this island is very good, with more than 70% of the forest cover, so we have preserved as much vegetation as possible except for the necessary roads and artificial rivers."
"It's said that you still want to build an airport, right, I have vacated half of the island in the west, as for how to design the airport, sorry, I really haven't done it before", Mr. Pei joked,
"So, you can only trouble others in this regard."
Looking at the model of the island in front of him, the lush jungle is littered with pearls, or stars, two or three small rivers meandering in the jungle, and dotted with artificial lakes, "It's so beautiful", Wang Yinan didn't have time to sigh, and Zhou Hui on the side couldn't help but admire.
"A man", Zhou Hui said, "I will come here to work in the future, okay?" ”,
"If you really can't do it, does your company need an image representative?" ,
Wang Yinan pondered for a while, "Image representation doesn't seem to be necessary, but if you look at such a large place, it does take a lot of people to clean."
"Annoying", Zhou Hui slapped Wang Yinan's slap, of course, on his back, watching these two people sprinkle dog food, Mr. Bei couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to be young."
Wang Yinan looked at Zhou Hui and complained, "Look at it, you shouldn't bring a pig teammate like you when you buy something, everyone in Lanxing knows that we are very satisfied, how to bargain when discussing the design fee",
"No matter how satisfied you are, you must behave unsatisfactorily, here, here", Wang Yinan pointed at the sand table, "These places seem to be improving", before he finished speaking, he laughed himself.
Of course, this is all a joke, Mr. Bei takes over the job to see Wang Yinan's face, the design fee is according to the minimum standard, in Mr. Bei's words, "It's okay not to give money, I want to leave a masterpiece for future generations", but Wang Yinan will not be short of Mr. Bei's design fee.
"How long do you expect the construction period to be", after relaxing for a while, Wang Yinan asked the question he was most concerned about.
"It's hard to estimate this, and if it's all completed, it won't work in three or five years," Mr. Pei said.
"Of course, the main building and the necessary ancillary buildings can be completed at the beginning, and considering the use of many new materials, if these building materials are not delayed, with the current state-of-the-art construction technology, it should be completed within a year."
Wang Yinan is a little dizzy, such a large main building, can it be done within a year? It seems that I still underestimate the innate attributes of the Chinese people's infrastructure madness, when it comes to repairing houses, I didn't say it, everyone here at Blue Star, one is counted as one, and they are all scum.
In this small conference room, facing the island on the sand table, Wang Yinan discussed some details of the future headquarters with Mr. Pei, and after he didn't have time to rest, he and Zhou Hui went straight to the airport and boarded the flight to Shudu.
The trip to Europa is imminent, Wang Yinan must arrange some related work before leaving, and Zhou Hui knows that he is about to go to Europa, no matter where Wang Yinan goes, he must follow.
"I know that you have a lot to do when you go to Europa, so I won't hold you back", Zhou Hui said very understandingly,
"So I have to watch it tightly during this time when you are in China, anyway, you said that foreign girls taste too big, I don't think you should take a fancy to foreign girls, it's safer to go over there",
"But when you're done with Europa, you must call me," Zhou Hui said.
"Of course, there must be your place in the most beautiful scene in Stockholm", Wang Yinan promised without hesitation.
The plane soon landed at Shudu Airport, this time due to the hurry, Wang Yinan bought two tickets for the nearest flight in time, and the result was just in time to fly the flight is the smallest 737, when autumn and winter come, the temperature changes are more drastic, and the atmospheric activity is therefore more intense, Wang Yinan felt the feeling of a roller coaster on the plane, and after enjoying it up and down for three hours, when he got off the plane, his face was already pale, and he was covered with sweat.
"Kill me and I won't take a plane anymore", Wang Yinan made an oath again, Zhou Hui pouted, "Okay, why don't you take the train to Europa, it seems that there is an Asia-Europe special train passing through Damao, and it seems that the time is not very long?" Zhou Hui said with a smile,
"It'll be there in about two weeks."
Wang Yinan lay down on the back seat dejectedly, "I'm still dead", needless to say, this time it was Chief Master Yang who sent someone to pick them up, in Chief Master Yang's words to Qian Lao, "When Wang Yinan arrives in Shudu, he will hand it over to us, while ensuring safety, he will also let him eat and have fun."
The first stop is of course the 116 Institute, Chief Teacher Yang has been waiting for him at the gate of the Institute for a long time, and together with Chief Master Yang, there is also the new director of the 116 Institute, the political cadres who have just been sent from the Ministry of Aviation Industry, in the end, the weight of the double Nobel Prize, this treatment has never been enjoyed by Wang Yinan before.
Far away, the new director came over, "Professor Wang, look up for a long time",
"I was supposed to pick you up at the airport, but I was too busy with work to take a break."
Wang Yinan hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it with him, of course, the deep complaint in his heart was essential, "Who are you fooling, I believe that Chief Master Yang can't pull away, it's too fake if you can't pull away."
"Of course, according to the administrative level of the director of the 116 Institute, it is indeed a bit too much if you go to the airport to pick me up, so well, just listen to this kind of kind words, if you are not careful to take it seriously, then you will lose."
After the greetings, the group went directly to 116 of their own airports, Wang Yinan secretly pulled Chief Yang down, "Airport design here, what good candidates to introduce?"
Chief Engineer Yang looked at him in surprise, "Why are you looking for someone who designed the airport, it won't be to help others do private work, right?"
Wang Yinan laughed, "How is it possible, it must be my own business to find you",
"Yourself, designing the airport? Make no mistake", Chief Yang had an expression of teasing me.
"It's really me who wants to design the airport myself, you know it with the company," Wang Yinan said.
"That's not nonsense. Your black-hearted company that has earned us a lot of money", Chief Engineer Yang nodded,
"We were going to move our headquarters to the Han River, and the government gave us a pretty big island, so I thought that in addition to the company, the headquarters and some small production workshops with sophisticated equipment, it would be easier to get an airport on the island."
Chief Master Yang couldn't help but stop, "Good boy, okay, you",
"No problem, I'm familiar with the Civil Aviation Design Institute, as well as the Civil Aviation Research Institute, and the Second Research Institute, I'll help you ask back, what take-off and landing standards are you going to get at that airport?" , Chief Teacher Yang asked,
"The 737 is too exaggerated, just an ordinary business jet, the helicopter must be no problem," Wang Yinan said.
While talking and talking, the 116 airport is in the compound of the research institute, and it didn't take long to arrive, and from a distance, Wang Yinan saw the Apollo drone at a glance, pure black paint, huge wings, no, to be precise, it is a thick wing, on both sides of the wing, two electric motors are hoisted, both with huge propellers.
"You just happened to be here, we were recently conducting a test flight of Apollo," said Chief Engineer Yang.
"In addition to the Stratoproper program, the Navy and Air Force have placed orders, and by the way, the Synthetic Army Command, and they are all amazed by the fast networking and real-time communication capabilities of this thing."
"Of course, the near-infinite cruising time, the automation characteristics that take off and don't care about it are also very important."
At this moment, the drone, which is equivalent to the length of two cars, was pulled to the end by the tractor, and the propeller rotated quickly, "In the past, we had to fully charge the battery before we dared to take off, but now as long as we take off during the day, we can quickly fill the battery at high altitude", Chief Yang said excitedly,
"This thing is too time-saving for maintenance, including your flight control system, it's really awesome, it can actually cruise in circles in the sky, maintain the angle of solar panels, and keep the microwave link between multiple drones unblocked."
Speaking of the flight control system, Wang Yinan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have said outsourcing or something last time, "Didn't you say that you outsourced all the flight controllers of the 116 Institute to us, how was the discussion?"
"Basically, the basic idea is to put the saved R&D strength into the field of civil aviation," said Chief Engineer Yang.
"Just waiting for approval from above",
"It may have been a little troublesome before, but now that you have this double yolk egg, I don't think many people dare to question it."
As he spoke, the pitch-black Apollo slid quickly on the runway, the superconducting motor was powerful, and the speed rose all of a sudden, "This 0 to 100 kilometers accelerates, less than 4 seconds", Wang Yinan looked at the drone with fat wings dumbfounded, and it only took less than 100 meters to leave the ground and go straight to the blue sky.
