I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 235 Compressed Dog Food
Friday afternoon.

The sky is clear and the air is fresh.

Chen Chen brought a few friends to a farm stay on the outskirts of Xijing to relax and relieve the fatigue from the intensive work in the past few months.

During this period, Morningwind's technical team has been working very hard.

The two projects, Thousand-Armed Guanyin and Tathagata Palm, were carried out in parallel, and the workload doubled. However, everyone persevered and achieved good results.

Key members such as Yan Tao and Xie Chaowen looked much more haggard.

but.

The successful explosion of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin relieved them of a heavy burden.

"Engineer Yan, next you should focus on the Tathagata Palm. Our own project does not have a timeline, so you should relax and take your time to ensure the quality and quantity of the project are completed."

"How can there be no timeline? We have our own requirements for ourselves. Why do you think I joined Morning Wind?" Yan Tao said in a loud voice.

"High salary?" Cao Zihua interrupted.

"My lifelong pursuit," Yan Tao said seriously. "I have spent half my life working on this one thing called combined propulsion. If I fail to do this, I will die with regrets."

Chen Chen couldn't stop clicking his tongue: "Listen to Engineer Yan's realization. If that's the case, reduce Engineer Yan's salary next month."

"Of course, a high salary is also part of a lifelong pursuit." Yan Tao quickly made up for it.

The other people couldn't help laughing.

I wouldn’t dare to make such jokes to the small boss.

You just say it casually, but he really believes it.

In fact, although everyone has been physically tired recently, they are still relatively relaxed mentally.

Because the Tathagata Palm project went very smoothly, seven consecutive tests produced very good results.

The project only has the finishing touch left.

And everyone firmly believes that this kick will also go smoothly.

As for pressure, there may have been some before.

But after the Thousand-Armed Guanyin exploded successfully, this pressure disappeared.

It is true that Morningwind has just been established, but MorningShield behind Morningwind is a bit too awesome, and it has done very well in several previous projects.

This has led to the outside world having high expectations for Morning Breeze.

This is fine.

The explosion of Thousand-Armed Guanyin shattered the outside world's filter of Chen Feng. It turns out that Chen Chen is not a god either.

It is great to make drones, but it is different with spacecraft, there is still a threshold.

This one exploded.

Everyone's expectations have been lowered a lot.

The pressure on the project team members has also been reduced a lot.

The pressure is small.

But confidence did not diminish.

Because only the people in the project team, or even only the senior management of the project team, know that the Thousand-Armed Guanyin is extremely subjective, which means it has nothing to do with technology.

"Young Boss, I took some time to take a look at Miaoyin's press conference yesterday."

After eating and drinking, Zhang Mingrui strolled to the black pit of the farm house and joined the fishing team.

Fishing is a basic skill for the executives of the Chendun system. Only the new member Yan Tao did not take the plunge and could only squat beside the fish pond and stare blankly.

Zhang Mingrui was more natural. He took out his fishing rod, adjusted the float and put on the bait, and told the story vividly.

"You know what, Xu Chuang is really something."

"What happened to Xu Chuang?" Cao Zihua caught the key words, stopped fishing, and went straight across the fishing position to Zhang Mingrui.

"Boss Xu is also a fool. He held an apology press conference and was very sarcastic the whole time, saying something about abiding by the space treaty. He was seriously trying to pass the buck, as if the Thousand-Handed Guanyin really exploded accidentally."

"Didn't you see the faces of the foreign journalists in the audience? They looked like they wanted to expose whether there was any evidence or not. They were almost choking back their anger."

"To be honest, Xu Chuang's serious and disgusting look is just like a young boss."

Zhang Mingrui said this.

Everyone immediately had a picture in their mind.

When it comes to being sarcastic and disgusting, the young boss must be at the level of intangible cultural heritage.

It was obvious that the rocket was deliberately fired to interfere with the keyhole.

Facing the camera, he insisted that it was a launch error and that the technology was not up to standard or something.

Everything he said and did made him seem like Chen Chen's last disciple.

After listening for a long time, Chen Chen finally couldn't help but speak: "Let's say, is there a possibility that Xu Chuang is not in Yin Yang?"

"What do you mean?"

"People don't know anything about the keyhole. They just think that Lanque No. 1 is a technological explosion." Chen Chen explained.

"Fuck, didn't you tell Party A about this?" Zhang Mingrui opened his mouth so wide that his tonsils could be seen.

"No."

Chen Chen never told this matter to any party A, whether it was Miaoyin or Shunfeng.

Lanque No. 1 has systemic risks, and Morning Breeze has done its utmost to optimize it.

But rotten wood is rotten wood.

Even if the craftsman has the best skills, he can only turn it into a piece of rotten wood that looks better.

If you want to make it really big and turn it into a treasure, you have to start over with the derivation.

Go to the client and say, "Your project is not good, the money you spent before wasted, pay me more money and I will modify it for you..."

Do you think Xu Chuang and Wei Xiao will call the police?
So choose the lesser of two evils.

Ignorance is bliss.

As the oldest employee, Cao Zihua knows everyone at SF Express quite well and can understand Chen Chen's difficulties: "Yeah, it's also a disease if you know it. You are worthy of being my little boss, your emotional intelligence is still high."

"Don't lick them yet. Now I find out that they don't know it and it's also a disease. I feel a little regretful." Chen Chen shook his head.

"what happened?"

"They haven't given up at all. Now they want to do the second phase. Where can I go to seek justice?"

Chen Chen was full of worries. Most people would behave themselves after being beaten once.

Wei Xiao didn’t drop.

A body weighing 98 pounds, but a rebellious character weighing 95 pounds.

The more frustrated you are, the more excited you become.

Judging from her performance, the expectations for the second phase are even greater than the first.

You should continue with the second phase. I always feel that the benefits are not proportional to the investment.

You are not going to do the second phase, what reason do you have to explain?

Tell her without any hesitation that the underlying logic of your plan is not valid and has problems.

People will ask: Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What were you doing during the first phase? Are you just playing with my money?

"I'm so worried."

Looking at the young boss's sad face, Cao Zihua could not empathize with him and just continued thinking along the way.

"Using a launch vehicle to deliver goods is not a bad idea in concept, but it's just not cost-effective."

Xie Chaowen was not very interested in gossip, but when he heard about technical matters, he immediately perked up and joined in the conversation.

"Yes, most spacecraft are disposable, so the input and output are not proportional."

Yan Tao's discussion: "In fact, it is not completely disposable. There are still several reusable routes."

Zhang Mingrui nodded: "Yes, isn't the expectation of Thousand-Handed Guanyin always to be recyclable?"

"Don't think that I support reusable rockets in the project. It's because I have to do it and I have no choice. If I had a choice in the project at the beginning, I would choose another route." Cao Zihua said seriously.

The others looked at him eagerly, expecting his next words.

But Dogecoin just likes the feeling of keeping people in suspense. If no one asks, it won’t answer the question.

After waiting for a long time without any response from Cao Zihua, Xie Chaowen answered: "As for the other route, a two-stage orbital spacecraft seems to be more suitable for cargo transportation." Cao Zihua was a little annoyed: "You are so unethical. I have been laying the groundwork for so long, and you just let me know."

The design of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin is based on the idea of ​​using reusable rockets to transport cargo, which is considered the mainstream route.

But in theory, multi-stage orbital spacecraft are more practical.

It’s just because of technical limitations that not many people are doing it at the moment.

The so-called multi-stage orbital spacecraft refers to a mode of horizontal launch and horizontal recovery.

It looks like the plane is carrying a small backpack.

The airplane serves as the first stage, carrying a small backpack and flying to a certain height, and then separates from the second stage.

The second stage then continues to accelerate and eventually reaches low-Earth orbit.

Whether it is the first or second level, it is essentially an aircraft and is recyclable.

The reuse of rockets can only recover one stage, which is a lot of waste.

Therefore this route is less expensive.

Yan Tao also agrees with this idea: "In fact, if the two-stage orbital spacecraft is successfully developed, the subsequent freight costs will become extremely low, which is more suitable for civilian freight transportation."

"Not only that, if it can be done, this first stage, as a hypersonic aircraft, will have strong flexibility and can expand the windows of many satellites that have strict requirements on orbital parameters." Cao Zihua extended.

Zhang Mingrui thought for a few seconds and then said, "I don't know much about space technology, but I know a little bit about drones. Can I understand that the first level is a hypersonic drone?"

"Yes."

"In that case, this first level you're talking about also has the ability to deliver 'express'?"

Xie Chaowen nodded: "Shunfeng Express can deliver, Dongfeng Express can deliver too."

"proud--"

Zhang Mingrui looked like he had drunk some bowel-clearing tea.

If this aircraft has the ability to deliver Dongfeng, then its military application potential will be huge.

Yan Tao began to conduct in-depth research: "In fact, the technical route of the second stage of the two-stage orbital approach is very mature. Last year, China successfully launched a low-orbit reusable spacecraft."

"Yes, the difficulty lies in the first level." Xie Chaowen felt envious just thinking about it.

After all.

Level 1 is still the category of drones.

Therefore, Cao Zihua, who had been unable to get a word in for most of the day, finally seized the opportunity: "Essentially, this is a flying machine that has never been designed by humans. When the second stage separates, it needs to gradually accelerate from subsonic speed to hypersonic speed, so the first stage must have full-speed optimization from subsonic speed to hypersonic speed."

Yan Tao nodded: "Another thing is the aerodynamic design. To put it bluntly, this is a hypersonic aircraft. If we can make the first stage, transporting cargo between orbits will not be a dream in the future..."

Chen Chen suddenly raised his head and said, "In Mandarin, it means space plane, right?"

"Yes, a large hypersonic aerospace drone."

Chen Chen smacked his lips.

You know what, this bunch of old guys really figured out a way.

Before, he was limited by the current technological level and felt that Wei Xiao’s idea of ​​air-to-space express delivery was unrealistic.

But now such a plate is not so out of reach.

"Engineer Yan, you've said many times before that the biggest application area of ​​the Tathagata Palm's combined power system is not missiles, right?"

Yan Tao nodded: "Yes, to be honest, it's a bit tasteless."

There is no doubt that the combined power system used in the Tathagata Palm is very advanced now.

But from a practical point of view.

It’s not that there aren’t alternatives.

Missiles still have cheaper and more technically reliable power modes to drive them.

It's like buying a car.

The roads that a Rolls-Royce can run on can also be run on ordinary family cars.

But when people reach a certain level of wealth, a Rolls-Royce is a must.

The current morning breeze belongs to this category.

The technology in the laboratory must be the latest, but it is not necessarily the case that the laboratory's technology will be deployed on every drone.

to be honest.

The success of the combined propulsion system will serve as a technical reserve for various future aircraft.

Make it first.

In the future, let’s see how technology develops. If there are any flying machines we need, we can just get them.

Chen Chen thought so too.

It's just that he was a little bolder: "Since our combined power is close to success, why should we reserve it?"

"Because there is no suitable aircraft to carry it now." Yan Tao took it for granted.

"Didn't you just figure out a way?"

Speaking of this person.

Everyone put down their fishing rods and looked at Chen Chen eagerly.

Something is wrong.

There was something wrong with the young boss's eyes.

Cao Zihua was the first to distance himself from the matter: "Godfather, we just had a dream, it's nonsense."

"You're talking nonsense, I'm not blindly listening. Unmanned large-scale hypersonic space plane, isn't this exactly the field you want to show off in?"

It’s true that the space carrier vehicle Morning Breeze is a newbie.

Unmanned aircraft.

Morning Breeze has a heritage.

In fact.

The previous large unmanned carrier platform, the B22, already has some initial features of an unmanned aerospace plane.

By extending this technology, we will eventually take a step in that direction.

Now the combined power is ready, and the Tathagata Palm is just waiting to be launched.

Even if it succeeds, it can only be used as a reserve for air defense missiles.

It's a bit of an overkill.

If the progress of the aerospace plane can be advanced in the final experimental stage of the Tathagata Palm, then this awesome power system can be put to good use.

"Lao Cao, is it feasible to make a verification aircraft based on the B22?" Chen Chen looked at his first general.

"Are you serious?"

Cao Zihua confirmed his attitude, and after getting Chen Chen's reply, he went over it carefully in his mind.

"It's not impossible if I have to do it. I just need to confirm whether the hardware facilities are sufficient, mainly the wind tunnel, direct connection platform and other infrastructure."

"Prove it well and give me a report as soon as possible."

Zhang Mingrui was stunned: "Little Boss, you are not really going to build an aerospace plane?"

"Let's come up with a plan for the verification machine first. Now that we have the power, it would be a shame if we don't do it."

"You are a real wife-loving maniac. You would do anything to satisfy Mr. Wei by delivering the express."

Chen Chen said that he was just coming up with a demonstration plan, but Feng Qingyundan said that he had no idea about it.

But those who are familiar with him know.

As long as the hardware facilities are sufficient, his demonstration plan will definitely become an engineering plan.

Chen Chen likes money trees - Wei Xiao plants a forest of money trees for him.

Wei Xiao likes to throw express deliveries on other people's heads - Chen Chen helps her demonstrate the second-stage orbital insertion plan.

The way rich people show their affection is really hardcore.

This kind of dog food is like compressed biscuits, one handful is equivalent to five handfuls, and the kids burp after eating it.
