Chapter 56: Aerospace Aircraft
Going to test fly an aerospace plane?
Xia Yu was completely stupid, no matter what he thought, it was impossible to think that the reason why Lao Yuan and Cao Yanhua came to find him was actually this. Shaking his shocked head, Xia Yu asked, "Old Yuan, didn't you come here to joke with me, did you?!" ”
"Who was kidding you?" Yuan Limin rolled his eyes.
"This ......" Xia Yu was dumbfounded, in fact, he also knew in his heart that the other party came over thousands of miles away, and it was definitely impossible for him to make a joke about himself, but this fact was indeed too difficult for him to accept.
Aerospace planes, the kind of aerospace planes that take off like ordinary airplanes in the atmosphere, but can eventually reach an astonishing speed of more than Mach 25 to escape the earth's gravity, and then can fly all the way to outer space hundreds of kilometers above the ground to make soy sauce! You can go to space to play soy sauce, so wouldn't it be easier to hit satellites by the way, throw a few nuclear warheads or something around the road?
Xia Yu was stunned, and only then asked, "Old Yuan, has the research progress of our country's aerospace aircraft reached the stage where it can be manned?" What about the power problem, how to solve this? Turbojet plus ramjet plus rocket? Is the structure reliable? We don't have a wind tunnel that can simulate Mach numbers, do we? How to solve the pneumatic layout? By computer? What about body materials? ……”
A series of questions kept being thrown, Xia Yu himself didn't realize that when he threw out this series of questions, even Cao Yanhua, who had a bad impression of him before, couldn't help but nod secretly, Lao Yuan was even more happy, and was very satisfied with Xia Yu's expression.
If we don't have enough knowledge of aerospace knowledge, we won't know what the development of an aerospace aircraft means to the country and to mankind. How difficult it is for those who participated in this study to understand.
This is a national-level scientific research project, and the manpower and material resources required are terrifying astronomical.
"You know the Dragon, right?" Yuan Limin asked.
"I know, an unmanned space plane that successfully flew a few years ago." Xia Yu replied.
"In fact, there is also a manned space aircraft developed together with the Shenlong." Yuan Limin explained the intention: "Unlike the Shenlong, this manned space plane is an aerospace aircraft in the real sense, and it can take off from the ground and enter outer space by itself without the help of other vehicles." But power plants have always been the main reason limiting our R&D schedule. But just recently, we have made some breakthroughs in the power plant, the first test machine has been built, and a test pilot is needed for testing, so I thought of you. Didn't you tell me that if there is an opportunity to cooperate, you will not refuse. ”
"This ......" Xia Yu hesitated, in fact, he very much wanted to try this latest aerospace plane, with an amazing speed of Mach 25, flying to low earth orbit and looking at the earth in space, which is what everyone who has the dream of flying is most eager to get. However, his current identity is the test pilot of the J-31, and the test flight of the J-31 has not really been completed, and he can't just leave before the final finalization.
"Of course I don't ask you to come with us now." As if seeing Xia Yu's hesitation, Yuan Limin immediately said: "Although the first test aircraft has been manufactured, there is still a long time before the actual flight test, and we still have a lot of ground work to do, and it is estimated that the progress of the J-31 will be faster than ours." Therefore, I am here mainly to ask for your opinion, and if you agree, I will contact you again at that time, of course, I personally hope that you will participate in our project. ”
If this is the case, Xia Yu has nothing to hesitate about, and immediately nodded and said: "It is my honor to participate in this project, I will contact you after 31 finalization, I am very much looking forward to being able to fly the aerospace plane into the universe." ”
"That's good, that's good." With Xia Yu's consent, Yuan Limin had a very happy smile on his face. In fact, the test flight work is not the main reason why he came to Xia Yu, as he said before, with Xia Yu, his project can be at least five years old. What he needs most is Xia Yu's whimsical but very feasible judgment. Yuan Limin knows very well that the factors that constitute this qiē have an absolute relationship with a person's character and quality, and it is impossible to do this if it is not a person who has rich knowledge, is full of imagination and is willing to use his brain to study.
And this is the reason why Yuan Limin values Xia Yu.
Seeing Yuan Limin and Cao Yanhua leave the test flight base, Xia Yu and Wang Yifu and others turned around and walked back. As soon as he took two steps, Wang Yifu asked, "Xia Yu, how did you know Yuan Lao?" He is a Taishan Beidou-level figure in our aviation industry. ”
"Oh, I met on the plane last time I went back from vacation." Xia Yu replied: "At that time, he saw that I was reading a science magazine, so he took the exam for me, and then he said that he would ask me to cooperate when he had the opportunity, although I agreed, but I always thought he was joking, but I didn't expect it to be true." It's a shame that he was able to find me, except for saying that he was a pilot, I kept everything else a secret. ”
Wang Yifu was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then said: "Yuan Lao has been engaged in research in the aerospace field all his life, and he can value him, and he specially came here to find you and let you participate in his project, it seems that he values you very much." ”
Wang Yifu sighed on the side, Wang Pengyu has indeed been shocked until now, he didn't expect Xia Yu to be able to let a national scientific research project leader personally come over and invite him to participate, he really can't imagine what Xia Yu did at the beginning, can make that Yuan Limin so impressed, he actually traveled thousands of miles to find Xia Yu, just to let Xia Yu participate in his project, is the power of knowledge really so strong?
Wang Pengyu's mind came to mind the appearance of Xia Yu, who was always flipping through books from time to time, recalling that when he first entered the J-15 training base, there were more than 100 students in the audience, only Xia Yu was alone with a large travel bag of books, and the others brought at most a few magazines to kill time, compared with the two, Wang Pengyu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Maybe this is the reason why he was unconsciously pulled away by Xia Yu again.
At the beginning, he also teased Xia Yu who was always nibbling on books with other students, but now it seems that the person who should really be ridiculed is probably himself.
Could it be that he can only watch Xia Yu alone and leave the dust?
