Chapter 145, the production of large aircraft
In the Fuyun Materials Technology Industrial Park in Yuanjiang Town, an ultra-large ultra-high temperature calciner was burning with a raging fire. Even if it was blocked by the furnace, heat was still constantly rushing from all directions, causing the employees of Fuyun Group working around to sweat profusely.
This super-large ultra-high temperature calciner was prepared to be built by Fuyun Group. It has only one function, that is, it is to calcin the large skeleton of the aerospace plane. The black gold material is obtained by using metal powder and ceramic powder and special adhesives, and then calcining with ultra-high temperature.
Therefore, in the shaping part, you can directly make the skeleton of the aerospace plane, and directly send the entire skeleton into an ultra-high temperature calciner for calcination. In one step, molding saves a lot of steps and trouble.
Of course, the sky-space plane is so huge. To use a whole piece of black gold material to create the skeleton of the sky-space plane, the entire calciner also needs to be very large. This specially designed and built calciner is more than 50 meters high, hundreds of meters long, and dozens of meters wide, which is comparable to a large building.
Next to the calciner, there is a spacious road with rails on the road. This is a specially designed passage to pull the skeleton of the aerospace plane to Longling Town. There is a large platform-like transportation equipment, which can walk on the paved rails.
Li Qianyu and Yao Tianyi, top scientists from the Institute of Materials Science of Fuyun Group Research Institute, looked at the data in the computer at this time. The temperature in the huge calciner had exceeded 4,000 degrees, and the skeletons of the aerospace planes, etc. were basically calcined.
"Start cooling and ready to come out."
Yao Tianyi looked at the data, nodded slightly, and ordered that he should start to be released.
In the huge ultra-high temperature calciner, the temperature began to drop sharply, and the raging fire began to dissipate, revealing a huge black aircraft. Of course, this is just the skeleton and shell of the aircraft. It is hollow inside, leaving various interfaces for installing other equipment.
The door of the huge calciner was slowly opened. Although the temperature in the furnace had dropped a lot, a wave of heat was still coming towards us. The grass outside the large furnace, the green grass outside the beautified, suddenly appeared a lot of Mars. A burst of black smoke floated by, and the grass suddenly became pitch black and burned by the heat wave.
Several huge mechanical arms slowly entered the furnace and set up the huge aircraft frame made of black gold material. Although the skeleton made of black gold material looks large, it is very light, which is also one of the reasons why black gold material can perfectly be used as the main core materials of aerospace planes.
“Cold down!”
Water dragons began to spray onto the dark plane frame. Although the black black gold material seemed to be nothing, when the water sprayed, bursts of water mist began to spread. The huge heat contained in the black gold material was quickly released, the temperature dropped sharply, and the luster of metal and ceramic began to appear under the sunlight.
The powerful exhaust system blew away the water mist. Soon, Li Qianyu and Yao Tianyi came over with numerous material researchers, holding the instrument in their hands and began to inspect the entire frame.
"Huh! I was worried that the calcination would be insufficient because the material was too large. Now it seems that it is completely redundant. The data and performance in all aspects are shown to meet the standards and can be sent to the next step with confidence."
After a few hours, Yao Tianyi breathed a lot of relief. The calcination of this black gold material is the most critical link. The larger it is, the more likely it will be to have problems during calcination. Especially this super-large ultra-high temperature calciner is the first time it is used, and it is also huge.
"Well, you can send it to Longling Town."
Li Qianyu also nodded, and then she and Yao Tianyi signed the material level. Because they designed an aerospace plane, problems in one link may lead to the destruction of planes and deaths. The expensive aerospace planes are still small matters, and it will be a big deal if they destroy the precious astronauts.
Therefore, Fuyun Group implements a responsibility-assigned system, and any parts, materials, etc. must be signed by someone to trace the root cause.
The huge aerospace plane skeleton was mounted by a robotic arm and was slowly transported to a platform. The platform slowly moved to a specially built road.
This huge road is very spacious, dozens of meters wide, and is fully enclosed. It is surrounded by both sides so that people or animals will not enter. The huge platform is heading towards the Longling Town Space Center along the railway tracks.
In less than 20 minutes, the platform carried the frame of the space shuttle to the space center's space shuttle production factory. In the huge and empty factory, the robotic arm hung the black gold material in the air and began to assemble the tense and orderly.
This huge aerospace plane is more than 50 meters long, more than 30 meters high, and more than 30 meters wide. The skeleton is hollow, leaving behind empty positions that have been calculated in advance.
The components that had been prepared were constantly assembled, and these components had been designed in advance. Many of them had been assembled long ago and could be assembled directly.
The first one to be installed is a bracket, which is the tire support of the aerospace plane. Because it is used to travel back and forth to the ground, this part is absolutely indispensable. The aerospace plane is very large, and the same is true for its tires, with a diameter of more than 2 meters, and there are three tire support in front and back. The tires are also specially customized and filled with inert gas. It is not like car tires, just inflated directly.
Next, the plasma engine is installed. In order to ensure sufficient power, there are 6 plasma engines installed on it to provide sufficient power.
The entire assembly workshop was extremely busy, with mechanical arms busy all the time. A team of hundreds of people worked for a week. The space plane gradually became full of a completely empty skeleton, and all kinds of equipment were assembled.
At this time, the sky plane had already been marked with the logo of Fuyun Group, and it also had a huge number "Hercules 1". According to the design, the theoretical transportation capacity of this sky plane will be ten times higher than that of the mango-style "Arrow" sky plane made by the country. Its huge hollow belly can even be installed in a building.
"Huh! It's finally finished assembling, I don't know if I can fly into the sky?"
Yu Liang looked at the huge aerospace plane in front of him and felt a sense of accomplishment. He was able to participate in the research and manufacturing of such a huge aerospace plane, which was enough to be proud of his whole life.
However, although all aspects are perfect, this is the first time that a large aircraft is produced in this way. Everything has not been tested by practice. Aerospace planes are another systematic project. Yu Liang was also full of concerns about whether they can fly into the sky and whether they can enter space.
"What's the use of not flying into the sky?"
Li Fu seemed quite confident. The "Hercules 1" in front of him was a huge aerospace plane designed by himself. From the beginning, Li Fu had no intention of making small planes, but if he wanted to do it, he would do it, and it was still the same aerospace plane that could fly directly into space.
In order to create the large aerospace plane in front of you, not to mention anything else, I don’t know how much I spent on the early investment. It is a specialized large ultra-high temperature calciner, a special transportation channel, a special transportation equipment, etc. In addition, Li Fu has been soaking in it for 7 months since early November last year to May 2020. If he doesn’t take out some things, how can he be worthy of the seeds of super civilization?
"In terms of time and cost alone, our aerospace plane has achieved great success. We built it in just about 10 days, and this is just the beginning. We are not very familiar with it. After we become proficient in the future, we can speed it up, and the cost is also controlled within 100 million. If we can really test flights successfully, it would be amazing."
Chen Bin, who was standing by, carefully calculated the production time and cost. Because it adopts modular design and frame design, the number of parts is much smaller, so it is very fast to assemble and produce, and the cost is greatly reduced.
"If you can fly, try it and add battery and compressed air to it."
Li Fu nodded, without hesitation, and began to order test flight preparations, because the plane was too large and could not even conduct wind tunnel tests. However, in his mind, Li Fu had asked Xiaoying to combine various data from the "Hercules 1" aerospace plane to simulate flights, without any problems at all.
The sides of "Hercules 1" slowly opened, and the huge robotic arm installed the magnetic field battery that was already full of charge. The compressed air also adopted the same design, which also took into account the convenience of replacement, and the advantages of the modular design were reflected.
The aerospace plane that has been added with energy and compressed air was slowly pulled to the huge runway here in the space center. Considering the huge thrust of this aerospace plane, the runway has been specially designed and modified. Otherwise, if it were a general airplane runway, it would probably not be able to withstand the huge pressure of the aerospace plane.
"Brother Fu, should we invite seniors such as Liu Shiying to come and watch?"
Here in the huge command center, everything is preparing for the upcoming "Hercules 1" test flight, applying for a test flight from the country, connecting the country's Beidou navigation system for global positioning, conducting final inspections, communication tests, engine low power tests, etc.
