"Why laser technology?"

Lin Ju left on the ARJ21 passenger plane provided by the base, and there was a special session in the middle before returning to Xinyuan.

Waiting on his business car, Lin Ju finally asked Guo Shen his questions.

Although the base also agreed to come up with ultra-high-power laser technology in exchange, Lin Ju didn't quite understand what it was for.

Guo Shen: "Boss, in deep space navigation, small meteorites and debris can easily cause huge damage to spacecraft and must be destroyed before impact, and at the same time, there is only one weapon that can be destroyed in a short time and has enough power. ”

Lin Ju: "So you want laser technology?" ”

Guo Shen: "The development of lasers will be a technology that will change the world pattern, and it is possible to make our position unshakable." ”

Lin Ju: "How to change?" ”

Guo Shen stretched out his two index fingers and fingertips to face each other: "The reason why the world can be peaceful now is based on a kind of balance. ”

Lin Ju immediately thought of the answer.

"What is the most powerful guarantee of balance?"

Lin Ju said in his heart: Rocket.

Guo Shen: "In a vacuum, and in such an environment, the laser has almost no attenuation in distance. ”

Lin Ju was shocked, and thought of a terrible scene.

Guo Shen continued to describe to him:

"For small meteorites or debris that may threaten spacecraft, we can detect them in advance through the global satellite tracking and control system, and then guide the laser to attack in time, so that the threat can be eliminated."

"As long as there are enough satellites, they can defend against ...... from all directions Meteorites, huh? Lin Ju finished the second half of the sentence for him.

"Yes, it doesn't take a lot, if the power is large enough to operate in synchronous orbit, 80 to 100 laser satellites, it will be enough to guarantee that there is nothing in low-earth orbit.

Even if you don't have so many satellites, you can concentrate multiple lasers in a large space station, as long as you can ensure the security of an area, and even an attack on the space station can be easily intercepted. ”

“……”

At this time, it was already night, there were no lights in the car, Lin Ju looked at the bright lights on both sides of the road, was silent for a long time, and finally spit out a sentence softly:

"To make this a top-secret project, no matter what the cost, we need this kind of technology. This...... It's for world peace. ”

"Yes, boss."

……

At this year's Zhuhai Air Show, there was an endless stream of tourists in front of the booth of Xinyuan Aerospace Power, but unfortunately there were no partners, just to see.

After all, except for Abel, Xinyuan rejected any intention to sell H1, and the progress of the exhibition could only be used for static display.

Two aero engine models that Lin Ju had high hopes for were also exhibited, but the results were extremely bleak and unattended.

Predictable......

After all, who would believe that a space company's aero engine is doing well? It's as funny as specaX is going to build a passenger plane.

Speaking of passenger aircraft, COMAC's C919 was also exhibited.

The C919 large aircraft participated in the Zhuhai Air Show for the first time in 2010, and then moved a large number of people, and in 2015, it was still moved by a large number of people, but it did not make its first flight.

The reason is very simple, the domestic production rate of C919 is too low, and all the key components from avionics to the engine are all imported.

After all, the airworthiness standards are in the hands of foreign countries, and if you use the components you produce, he will say that they do not meet the airworthiness standards and are not allowed to take off and land at foreign airports~

Aramco has completed the EU card, and the parts have finished the standard card, unless you give up the key components and let the giants eat the majority of the benefits to be satisfied, and when each C919 can actually provide a lot of remuneration for international partners, it is profitable to issue an airworthiness certificate.

Then it is better to say that the C919 only flies in China, and does not go abroad? No, it doesn't.

Because civil aviation is different from military aircraft, it needs to be maintained at various civil airports in China at any time, and these maintenance systems are designed for Airbus and Boeing in the decades-long market occupation.

In order to adapt to this system, it is natural to adopt foreign standards, so it is back to the starting point, and it is still necessary to pay international manufacturers.

Therefore, even if COMAC wants to use Xinyuan's XW-10 for the C919, it can only choose the LEAP-X1C engine jointly produced by Hip Country Racing and Aramco General Electric.

As for transport aircraft, the Y-20 has the domestic WS-18 and the WS-20 under development, and there is no need for the XW-10 without absolute superiority.

XW-10 order, none.

The XW-9 is not clear, there is definitely no domestic market, but the foreign countries that come to the air show are also not moving, obviously there are a variety of factors.

However, although a purely domestic large passenger plane cannot be counted on, Lin Ju can still get one with the same effect by himself.

He bought the ARJ21 on the return trip and used it as the company's business jet.

Now there are a lot of things in Xinyuan that need to fly around at any time, and it is very troublesome to wait for flights, so simply buy an ARJ21 as a special plane, which can take off from the airport of the B-class base, plus Xinyuan's privilege to apply for a route is very convenient, and it is very fast to go anywhere.

However, as soon as the plane landed, it was pushed into the hangar by Xinyuan engineers to prepare for modification.

Its two GE34 engines, which output 9 tons of thrust, will be replaced with two XW-10s with adjusted bypass ratios, increasing the total thrust from 18 tons to 30 tons.

This will greatly improve the ARJ21's take-off and landing capabilities, especially the comfort of the boss.

The other is to change the livery and make internal modifications, which are more suitable for remote work, although Lin Ju is more like a rubber stamp.

Standing in front of the huge final assembly hangar, Lin Ju watched the workers push the ARJ21 into the preparation of the modification position, and the hurried figure was like a group of working ants against the backdrop of the huge hangar, and suddenly a strong sense of pride rose.

In the crazy leapfrog development, as of November, the number of employees of Xinyuan has exceeded 1,300, and there are more than 300 part-time employees recruited from universities, with a total of more than 1,700 people.

The B-class base is like a giant beast, and it is still devouring talents from all walks of life, and it will stop until it has to maintain 3,000 employees.

Considering the extremely high level of automation at the base, these 1,700 people exert no less power than 5,000 people, which is enough to make every crazy dream come true.

Lin Ju suddenly missed his old profession, an ordinary mechanical engineer.

He hurried to the Department of Aeronautics and, to the astonishment of the engineers, pulled out a piece of special drawing paper the size of a table, unfolded it, rolled up his sleeves, and held a giant triangle in one hand and a pencil in the other.

"Boss?" The deputy chief engineer of the aviation department cautiously asked:

"What are you going to do, and how can we help?"

Lin Ju didn't raise his head, and drew the center line on the paper first:

"I'm going to design an airplane and I'm going to fly it myself."
