don't call me singer

Chapter 1185 Watch me feint!
France, Toulouse.

afternoon.

On a small coffee table by the street, several engineers in overalls are drinking coffee boredly. In a small garden square not far away, several children are chasing running pet dogs under the fountain. In the corner, a homeless man lay sluggishly in a corner, his clothes stained with oil.

The whole city looked peaceful and desolate.

God knows, as the headquarters of Airbus Group, one of the largest aviation companies in the world.

It is also one of the important cities in the world's aviation industry, and the headquarters of dozens of aerospace agencies, large and small, are located here.

Originally, this place was busy and noisy. Various aerospace-related research, education, production, and sales organizations together constitute the core body of the city, but now, it seems that the slow-motion button has been pressed here. The tempo has been slowed down.

As one of the pillar companies in this city, the Airbus Group has launched an unprecedented large-scale layoff. It is estimated that 1.5 to 2 employees will be laid off in branches all over the world, which is equivalent to about one-eighth of the total number of Airbus employees. one.

In the next two years, Airbus will gradually reduce production by about 40%.

This also means that Airbus' revenue will drop sharply and losses will increase sharply, and the company will bear great pressure.

How to save themselves and how to survive the cold winter will be the most important thing for Airbus now.

In a building opposite the small cafe, in a conference room, several Airbus Group executives and more than a dozen engineers were sitting there, watching a short video.

Among the people present, there are several familiar faces.

From France, the inventor of the flying skateboard, Berdoin Martin.

From the UK, Joshua Hall, the inventor of the jetpack.

And several engineers, also from France, affiliated to a research institute under the Ministry of Defense, they are the inventors and engineers of the "flyer".

All of you here have never imagined that one day, they will sit in the same conference room and strive for the same goal.

The two British and French inventors and adventurers who have been widely concerned for their "flying skateboard" and "flying backpack" were once the darlings of the media and news.

But after participating in the Seoul Airshow in South Korea, their shine was lost and they were forgotten overnight.

Now the center of public opinion, there are only two names.

"Mr. Yunzhong" and "Master Yun".

Two aircrafts from China and South Korea, just like Britain and France before, separated by a strait, started a new round of competition.

Although Master Yun is completely at a disadvantage in this competition, at least he still has a name.

And the stars that used to shine before have completely fallen.

Overnight, both flying skateboards and jetpacks lost potential investors, and even the Department of Defense began to re-evaluate their technology and future development.

Of course, perhaps evaluation is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, as a traditional aviation power, they cannot tolerate being led by others in a field.

But in the end it was not the Ministry of Defense of Britain and France that extended an olive branch to them, but Airbus, the giant of the world's aviation industry.

Just as several traditional aviation powers in Europe jointly built the "Airbus Group", when the aviation industry may usher in drastic changes, several countries chose to cooperate again.

Airbus acquired the shares and patents of several small companies, stationed its strongest experts and engineers, and jointly formed a new industry department, specializing in the research of single-person aircraft.

This is after Airbus suspended the flying car project with Audi and returned to the field of personal aircraft.

Moreover, they changed a route and re-entered.

When this project was launched, Airbus had already started the announcement plan.

After all, Jun Yunzhong is coming in a menacing way, he is really too powerful.

If you don't want to find a way to speak, I'm afraid you will be suppressed to the point where you can't speak.

At this moment, what is playing on the big screen is their promotional video.

"In the morning, you can enjoy a cup of coffee calmly without going out in a hurry."

"In the evening, you can enjoy dinner with your family and never miss a moment with your family."

"Choose the new flyer, you can take off from the garage, land on the top floor, and never have to be stuck on the road again."

"Choose a new flyer, whether it's a mountain or a river, it's all in your eyes."

"The new flyer only weighs 75 pounds (without fuel), and has a battery life of up to 200 kilometers (theoretical data, from Airbus Labs)."

"New flyer, you can fly from Paris to London in less than an hour (with one refueling)."

"The new Aviator is not as expensive as your next car."

"Why is your next car a car?"

"New flyer, your final choice."

Looking at the screen, the freckled black man took off his "New Aviator", took off his suit and threw it aside, and ran to his family by the sea. The whole conference room was silent.

At this moment, everyone is probably thinking about such a thing in their hearts.

"That's it?"

That's it, this is it?

You want to beat Yun Zhongjun with this thing?
After a long time, an old white man sitting in the middle coughed and said, "I want to know, how is the 'New Aviator' project going now, have all these things in the video been realized?"

"Uh..." An expert in charge of technology looked around and saw that everyone was bowing their heads, so he could only say, "These are just concepts. If we want to complete the prototype, it will probably take... one to two years." .”

Okay, isn't it just bragging anyway?Everyone will.

"What about its technical indicators? Can it be compared with Yunzhongjun?"

"New Flyer" can be said to hit the advantages of the three designs of "flying backpack", "flying skateboard" and "flyer".

"Uh..." After saying this, everyone present bowed their heads and fell silent.

After a long time, an engineer said: "The performance of the mini turbofan we use is too weak. The maximum speed cannot exceed 400 kilometers. The fuel consumption is completely uncontrollable. If the speed continues to increase, the battery life will seriously drop..."

"How come? Where did Yunzhongjun's mini turbofan come from? China has this kind of technology? Can we buy it?"

"As far as I know, Yunzhongjun's mini turbofan technology comes from Gu Xiaobai's laboratory, and it is a technology invented by Gu Xiaobai."

There was silence in the conference room.

"In any case, we can't completely give up this market. Personal flying vehicles may be the new growth point of the aviation industry in the next 50 years..." The old white man sitting in the middle said, "But now our progress is completely behind It's..."

Everyone looked at him, expecting him to make the final decision.

"Forget it, let's send out the promotional video first. After all, it will take a long time for Yunzhongjun to be mass-produced. Everyone is bragging. It's just to see who can brag more." The old white man said.

At this moment, a middle-aged man raised his hand.

"That...can't we write a song like Gu Xiaobai?"

With a bang, everyone turned to look at him.

"Uh, pretend I didn't say it."

That night, Airbus Group's "New Aviator" concept video was released!
