Chapter 146, Production of Large Aircraft

In the Fuyun Materials Science and Technology Industrial Park in Yuanjiang Town, a super-large ultra-high temperature calcining furnace is burning with raging fire. Even if there is a furnace to block it, the heat still continues to rush in all directions, making the Fuyun Group employees working around sweat profusely.

This super-large ultra-high temperature calcining furnace is prepared to be built by Fuyun Group. It has only one function, which is to calcine the large skeleton of the aerospace plane. The black gold material is made of metal powder and ceramic powder with a special adhesive, and then calcined at ultra-high temperature.

So in the shaping part, the skeleton of the aerospace plane can be directly made, and the whole skeleton can be directly sent to the ultra-high temperature calcining furnace for calcination, forming in one step, saving a lot of steps and troubles.

Of course, the aerospace plane is so huge that the entire calcining furnace needs to be very large to use a whole piece of black gold material to build the skeleton of the aerospace plane. This specially designed and built calcining furnace 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 calcining furnace, there is a wide road with rails on it. This is a passage specially designed to pull the aerospace plane skeleton to Longling Town. There is a large platform-like transportation equipment that can travel on the laid rails.

Li Qianyu and Yao Tianyi, top scientists from the Materials Science Research Institute of Fuyun Group Research Institute, are looking at the data in the computer at this time. The temperature in the huge calcining furnace has exceeded 4,000 degrees, and the skeleton of the aerospace plane has basically been calcined.

"Start cooling down and prepare to take it out of the furnace."

Yao Tianyi looked at the data one by one, nodded slightly, and ordered to prepare to start taking it out of the furnace.

In the huge ultra-high temperature calcining furnace, the temperature began to drop sharply, and the raging fire began to dissipate, revealing a huge black plane. Of course, this is just the skeleton and shell of the plane. It is hollow inside, leaving various interfaces for installing other equipment.

The huge calcining furnace door was slowly opened. Although the temperature in the furnace had dropped a lot, a wave of heat still rushed in front of them. The grass outside the furnace, which was originally very beautiful, suddenly emitted many sparks. A burst of black smoke drifted past, and the grass suddenly became pitch black and was 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 big, it is very light. This is one of the reasons why black gold material can perfectly serve as the main core material of aerospace aircraft.

"Cool down!"

A stream of water began to spray on the black aircraft frame. Although this black gold material seemed to be nothing, when the water was sprayed over, bursts of water mist began to spread. The huge heat contained in the black gold material was quickly released, and the temperature dropped sharply. Under the sunlight, it began to show the luster of metal and ceramic.

The powerful exhaust system blew away the water mist. Soon, Li Qianyu and Yao Tianyi came over with many material researchers, holding instruments in their hands and began to test the entire frame.

"Huh! I was originally worried that the material would not be fully calcined because it was too large, but now it seems to be completely unnecessary. All data and performance show that it fully meets the standards and can be safely sent to the next stage."

A few hours later, Yao Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief. The calcination of this black gold material is the most critical link. The larger it is, the more likely it is to have problems during calcination, especially since this super-large ultra-high temperature calcination furnace is the first time it is used and is also huge.

"Well, it can be sent to Longling Town."

Li Qianyu also nodded, and then she and Yao Tianyi signed on the material stage, because the design is an aerospace plane, and a problem in one link may cause the plane to crash and people to die. Losing an expensive aerospace plane is still a small matter, but destroying precious astronauts is a big deal.

So Fuyun Group implements a system of responsibility to people. Any parts, materials, etc. must be signed by someone to trace the source.

The huge aerospace plane skeleton was lifted by a mechanical arm and slowly transported to a platform, which slowly moved to the specially built road.

This huge road is very spacious, several dozen meters wide, and is fully enclosed. Both sides are fenced off to prevent people or animals from entering. The huge platform is driving along the rails towards the Longling Town Space Center.

In less than 20 minutes, the platform carrying the frame of the aerospace plane arrived at the aerospace plane production plant of the aerospace center. In the huge and empty plant, the mechanical arm suspended the black gold material and began the intense and orderly assembly work.

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 empty positions that have been calculated in advance.

One by one, the parts that have been prepared long ago began to be assembled continuously. These parts have also been designed in advance, and many of them have been assembled long ago, so they can be assembled directly.

The first thing to be installed is the bracket, which is the tire bracket of the aerospace plane. Because it is used to go back and forth to the ground, this part is absolutely indispensable. The aerospace plane is very large, and so are its tires. The diameter is more than 2 meters. There are three tire brackets in the front and back. The tires are also specially customized and filled with inert gas. They are not like car tires that can be directly inflated.

The next thing to be installed is the plasma engine. In order to ensure sufficient power, a full 6 plasma engines are installed on it, which is enough to provide sufficient power.

The entire assembly workshop is extremely busy, and the mechanical arms are busy all the time. The team of hundreds of people has been busy for a whole week. The aerospace plane has gradually become full and full from a completely empty skeleton, and all kinds of equipment have been assembled.

At this time, the aerospace plane has been marked with the Fuyun Group's LOGO on the outside, and there is a huge number "Hercules 1". According to the design, the theoretical transportation capacity of this aerospace plane will exceed ten times that of the ray-shaped "Shenjian" aerospace plane manufactured by the country. Its huge hollow belly can even hold a building.

"Huh! It's finally assembled, but I don't know if it can fly into the sky?"

Yu Liang looked at the huge aerospace plane in front of him, and he felt a sense of accomplishment. He was proud of being able to participate in the research and manufacturing of such a huge aerospace plane for a lifetime.

However, although everything was perfect, it was the first time that a large aircraft was produced in this way, and everything had not been tested in practice. The aerospace plane was also a systematic large project. Yu Liang was also full of worries about whether it could fly into the sky and enter space.

"What's the use of it if it can't fly into the sky?"

Li Fu seemed quite confident. The "Hercules 1" in front of him was a huge aerospace plane that he personally participated in designing. From the beginning, Li Fu didn't plan to make a small plane. If he wanted to make it, he would make a big plane, or the kind of aerospace plane that could fly directly into space.

In order to manufacture this large aerospace plane, let alone other things, the initial investment alone is unknown. There is a special large ultra-high temperature calcination furnace, a special transportation channel, and special transportation equipment, etc. In addition, Li Fu has been immersed in it for 7 months from the beginning of November last year to now, which is May 2020. If he doesn't come up with something, how can he live up to the seeds of super civilization.

"In terms of time and cost alone, our aerospace plane has achieved great success. It took us only about 10 days to manufacture it, and this is just the beginning. We are not very familiar with it yet. We can speed up after we become proficient. The cost is also controlled within 100 million. If it can really succeed in the test flight, it will be very remarkable."

Chen Bin on the side carefully calculated the production time and cost. Because it adopts modular design and frame design, the number of parts is much less, so the assembly and production are very fast, and the cost is also greatly reduced.

"We'll know if it can fly after a try. Add batteries and compressed air to it."

Li Fu nodded, without hesitation, and began to order preparations for the test flight. Because the plane was too large, it was not even possible to conduct a wind tunnel test. However, in his mind, Li Fu had asked Xiao Ying to simulate the flight based on the data of the "Hercules 1" aerospace plane, and there was no problem at all.

The two sides of the "Hercules 1" slowly opened, and the huge mechanical arm installed the already fully charged magnetic field battery. The compressed air also adopted the same design, which also took into account the convenience of replacement, and the modular design advantage was reflected.

After adding energy and compressed air, the aerospace plane was slowly towed to the huge runway here at the space center. Because of the huge thrust of this aerospace plane, this runway has been specially designed and modified. Otherwise, if it were a normal runway, it would probably not be able to withstand the huge pressure of the aerospace plane.

"Brother Fu, should we invite seniors like Liu Shiying to come and watch?"

In the huge command center, everything is being prepared for the upcoming test flight of "Hercules 1", applying to the country for a test flight, connecting to the country's Beidou navigation system for global positioning, conducting final inspections, communication tests, engine low-power tests, etc.
