As for what space remnants, it doesn't matter.

Space powers like the United States wish there were more space residues, so that those countries with insufficient technical strength could only entrust them with satellite launches and astronauts into space.

Chen Weidong nodded, thanked the people present for their recognition, and continued: "Therefore, when we at Infinity first proposed this plan, we emphasized a key point that must not be shaken: all design must start from the carrying capacity!" ”

As soon as the words ended, there was a small commotion in the conference room.

The scientists of the expert group began to talk in a low voice.

An expert from the Chinese Academy of Sciences asked in a loud voice: "Mr. Chen, if I heard me correctly, you just said that everything is designed for carrying capacity?" ”

"So, I would like to ask, is the plan you designed to take off from the ground? If you can't do this, I don't think your aerospace aircraft will be able to achieve a large carrying capacity. ”

"Indeed!" Chen Weidong replied with a smile.

The expert who asked the question was stunned for a moment, not understanding whether he said "indeed", whether he really took off from the ground, or whether he really couldn't achieve a large carrying capacity.

By the time he came back to his senses, Chen Weidong had already begun to ask people to turn on the LCD screen in the conference room to show the specific design of Infinity's aerospace aircraft.

He fixed his eyes and saw that on the large LCD screen, there was a blunt-headed triangular flying machine.

This is the shape with the aerodynamic design of the ascending body, and it seems that the infinity company is not nonsense.

According to the principle of aerodynamics, the blunt head is triangular and glides in a high-speed air flow, and the air flow will form an upward lifting action.

The blunt-headed triangular design maximizes the use of airflow characteristics.

Aircraft designed according to this structure are also known as ascending aircraft.

In addition to this, it is also possible to minimize air resistance when flying at hypersonic speeds, which is also a key point.

However, when he saw the full length of the aircraft marked next to him, his heart was shocked.

According to the annotations, the total length of the aircraft is 96 meters, the height is 8 meters, and the wings are 35 meters wide, which is almost a triangular dart!

The empty weight of the aircraft is one hundred and thirty tons

He suddenly saw a number, and the pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank inward: the carrying capacity is eighteen percent of his own weight!

"Impossible!"

Before he could raise any questions, several members of the national aerospace aircraft project team stood up and asked angrily: "How can the carrying capacity of your aerospace aircraft reach 18 percent?" ”

"As far as we know, even the latest X-57 aerospace demonstrator proposed by the United States has a payload of only 15 percent of its own weight! This is still in the state of unmanned remote flight! ”

"Moreover, according to our research over the years, the payload of aerospace aircraft usually does not exceed 12 percent of their own weight due to poor aerodynamic design. Abnormal! ”

Chen Weidong smiled and spread his hands: "First of all, our aerospace plane is manned and carries three members, and secondly, the load capacity of the aircraft is indeed eighteen percent, as for the reason."

He nodded to Zhao Gong, who was sitting below, and asked him to answer the question on behalf of Infinity Corporation.

Zhao Gong has been in the company for many years, is the earliest group of researchers in the company, and once served as the chief engineer of the precision instrument company.

Many people present knew him, and it was up to him to answer, which was more in line with the expectations of Director Gu and others.

Moreover, Zhao is the head of the mechanical laboratory and manufacturing department, and he knows all the data well, even if Chen Weidong says that he is the general person in charge of the project, no one will doubt it.

Zhao Gong stood up and came to the front desk.

Chen Weidong discussed with him yesterday what can be said and what cannot be said.

Like the engine, it can be said that this engine has not yet been finalized anyway, and it is estimated that it will have to undergo several major changes in the future.

Besides, as long as the specific engine alloy formula is in your own hands, even if others get the physical model, they can't imitate it.

It's like the car engines of the island country Toyota are very advanced, but they dare to sell them to the world, and they are not afraid of technology leakage at all.

Someone in China once disassembled their engine, conducted research, and finally assembled it back, and as a result, the life of the engine was directly reduced by half.

Because there are tolerances in any part, it is impossible to produce exactly the same part even on the most delicate machine tools.

Even if it's plus or minus 0.001 mm, if there are hundreds or thousands of parts in an engine, if they are all positive or negative tolerances, then the final combination of these parts will be larger or smaller than the standard size.

What makes their engines so great is that the parts bite each other and the positive and negative tolerances cancel each other out.

Achieve the best tolerances within the allowable tolerances.

There are requirements for which parts are assembled first and which parts are installed later.

Infinity can provide the engine, the whole machine, but not the full set of technology, which is the result of their negotiation some time ago.

If one day the utopian plan comes true, they don't mind giving away all the technology.

But now, not yet!

Zhao Gong has led a precision instrument company, and often contacts with domestic equipment manufacturing companies, so he naturally has some business acumen and is very skilled in technology.

What new technology, new formula, bragging non-stop.

But not to mention the key technology, the laymen such as Director Gu and the General Assembly Department who listened to it danced with their eyebrows, and the insiders shook their heads again and again, completely disbelieving it.

It was an eye-opener for these experts to participate in the technical assessment meeting.

Zhao Gong said that only eight central processing units were used in the whole aircraft, which ensured all the data processing of the entire aircraft, and this alone reduced the weight of several tons of equipment.

It compensates for the increased weight due to the use of turbine, scramjet, and rocket combination engines.

Let the aircraft engine that uses the latest high-strength, high-heat-resistant materials can provide greater thrust, and so on.

Many experts do not believe this.

Are you? Eight processor chips, you are all fools when we are?

The space vehicle is so complex that you can use more than 100 processors to meet the requirements, and we will give it a thumbs up and be amazed!

Eight chips, you better save it!

Listen to this as a joke, we don't want to hear it.

Three engine combinations, but also to achieve easy switching

The expert group listened patiently, and all of them frowned, secretly complaining, should not listen to the wind is rain, infinity companies are clearly fooling people, to listen to this report, it is too stupid!

Zhao Gong explained to himself on the stage, completely ignoring the reaction of the expert group below.

Anyway, what do we have to say, the relevant characteristics of the aircraft, we have told the truth, you believe it or not, you don't believe it better, we just happened to study it alone.

Our purpose is to manufacture prototypes in China, conduct actual flight tests, and obtain relevant data.

So, we don't care if you believe it or not.

The spit on what he said above, and the members of the expert group below argued more and more, and many people couldn't hold it back, so they interrupted him very unceremoniously and asked questions one by one.

Zhao Gong's answer is very simple, what adopts a certain new technology to break through this obstacle, and what develops a certain new material, which greatly improves the performance of the engine.

These are empty words that cannot be immediately substantiated.

Later, the expert group didn't bother to ask questions about Zhao Gong, and just discussed it by itself.

The technicians on the Infinity side closed their eyes one by one, and they didn't even have the interest in answering each other's questions, just like this was not a technical report meeting to win state support and increase investment.

The disdain for the expert group was not taken to heart at all.

No one interrupted, and Zhao Gong played extraordinarily, and he talked for hours without stopping.

The content of his explanation is not false at all, but many key points are not clearly explained, which makes those professionals not believe his explanation at all.

After Zhao Gong finished speaking, Chen Weidong walked up to the stage again, opened some of the three-dimensional images captured in the simulation test, and played them to the expert group.

Looking at the nearly 100-meter-long flying machine, slowly taxiing and flying on the runway that is said to be 10 kilometers long, many experts who couldn't bear it anymore began to laugh.

Okay, we've seen the highest level of lies.

The aerodynamic design data does not seem to be a big problem, and various auxiliary designs also meet the requirements of near-earth space vehicles.

But do you have such a powerful engine?

Take it out and I'll believe it, no, what can you say with just a 3D animation?

What are the results of the simulated test recordings?

Are you kidding!

Simulation test, the performance of the engine is not with your input, even if you input the performance of this engine, it can reach the speed of light, let us verify it?

New materials are even more of a joke!

Can we be convinced that you are talking about a new material that only shows its performance?

Ask you to come up with the recipe of the material, and you say it is a trade secret.

Alas, forget it, let's just go to a tea party! Everyone is usually very busy with work, and there are few opportunities to get together, so take this opportunity to exchange experiences.

Chen Weidong stood on the stage and showed the performance of the aircraft designed by Infinity according to the three-dimensional animation, as well as the switching of the power system in the face of different atmospheric environments.

However, Director Gu and the leaders of the general assembly looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

The general of the general assembly did not have much contact with Chen Weidong, and he was not sure whether what he said was correct.

It's just that seeing so many experts have completely given up listening to his explanations, guessing that the design of the infinity company may be unreliable.

But for Director Gu, they have cooperated with Infinity in so many projects and seen too many unexpected achievements in those laboratories, but they dare not be careless.

Although he was also skeptical in his heart, he still did not dare to express his opposition clearly.

Moreover, he is not a pure scientific researcher, he is also a bridge major from Southwest Jiaotong University, and he doesn't know much about space vehicles.

He looked at the upper and lower sides, they were talking and not interfering with each other, and the researchers of Infinity Company were also dozing off and laughing, and they really didn't know whether to let this report continue.

He took advantage of Chen Weidong's speech and proposed: "Mr. Chen, we have a morning meeting, is it okay to take a break for a while, and everyone will continue after the lunch break." ”

"Yes, yes, let's take a break before we have a meeting!"

His proposal was supported by the owners of Infinity and the Panel.

The general of the general assembly also breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't understand! (End of chapter)
