From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 495 Global Shock, Moon Transformation Plan

"A signal from the Tianchariot has been received."

In the Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute, in the ground tower.

The staff in charge of docking with the Tianchao began to get busy.

Although the Tianchao uses intelligent driving, their ground tower also needs to maintain contact with the Tianchao, so as to grasp the current situation of the Tianchao.

As for their "tower", in fact, judging from the appearance of the building they are in, it doesn't look like a tower at all, because the command room is completely inside the hangar, and it doesn't stand alone like the airport tower.

This is because the connection between them here and the Tianchao relies on quantum communication.

After so long of research, the original four-freedom quantum communication has achieved a transmission speed of 5 bits per second.

Fifty thousand bits is roughly equivalent to 6.1kB per second.

Although it is small, it is enough for them. They can send some text messages and pictures, and even remotely control the Tianchao directly on the ground. The most important thing is the instantaneity, which avoids delay.

In the command room, Lin Xiao was also standing here, looking at the southern sky through the window.

Due to the cover of the clouds, he couldn't see what was above the sky, but the earphones on his ears could hear reports from Xiao Mi from time to time.

Compared with the data obtained by the staff present through various sensors, the data he obtained through Xiaomi is obviously faster and more accurate.

Of course, the staff at the scene didn't know this, but continued to maintain the excitement in their hearts, and then reported the current situation from time to time.

"The Tianchao has entered Lu Province!"

"The Tianren has begun to lower its altitude and speed. The current altitude is 8234 meters and its speed is 564 kilometers per hour."

"The estimated time of arrival at the airport is 17:45."

Everyone present was suppressed with excitement. They all knew that the landing of their Tianchariot had attracted the attention of all countries in the world.

I don't know how many satellites are watching in the sky.

There are even foreign websites that broadcast the landing of the Tianren, and more than 1000 million people watched the live broadcast, covering the whole world.

Because countless people all over the world want to know whether this giant aerospace plane, which is much heavier than the An-225, can land safely.

If it fails, then this is a serious setback to Huaguo Aerospace. After all, it has been estimated on the Internet that the cost of this aerospace plane may be as high as tens of billions of yuan, which is very expensive. If an accident occurs, it will definitely be a major one. Loss.

In this regard, many foreigners are happy to see.

And if it is successful, it means that the reusable spacecraft has already been born. Is it very close to the era of universal spaceflight?
Maybe in the future, they will be able to take an aerospace plane for space travel just like flying an airplane?
And for this, there are more people who are interested.

Therefore, there is no difference in the number of people who expect the Tiancharia to land successfully or those who fail.

But if all these numbers are added up, it is almost equivalent to half of the earth.

Therefore, for these people present, their hearts had to be excited.

Finally, as time passed, the expected landing time was getting closer.

There are already many people standing around the ten-kilometer runway. Of course, all of these people are official people. Now the Tianchao is still classified as a secret. Although it is a secret known to the whole world, the Tianchao The specific shape of the number, such as the engine, detailed structure, etc., cannot be made public for the time being.

Therefore, those who can go to the scene have been approved.

In addition to the people from the military, there are also people from the space agency. Of course, people from the Yueshi Division are also among them, but they are here in the name of the space agency.

Of course, CCTV reporters also came here, and they will take official photos and videos for publicity. In addition, such a powerful thing, it will be very good for the Air Force to recruit pilots in the future.

And at this time, someone pointed to the clouds in the south and said in surprise, "Here we come! It's right there!"

When everyone heard the voice, they all looked at the place where the man pointed, and then they all showed excitement on their faces.

I saw a white shadow flashing by from time to time among the layers of white clouds in the distant sky. Although it was small, it could still be seen.

This is also due to the fact that the air today is relatively clean and there is not much dust.

Of course, since the use of controllable nuclear fusion power generation in the Shangjing area, the air quality has been visibly improving every month.

Although it has not completely improved, it is now much better.

At least, today they can already see that white shadow in the distant sky.

Obviously, that is their Tianchariot.

Today, the average height of the clouds in the sky is about 600 meters, so the height of the Tianchao is still about 500 meters in the sky. As for the straight-line distance, it is only about tens of kilometers.

That means, not far away!

Thinking of this, the people present couldn't wait even more, staring at the place where the white shadow appeared.

In this way, as time passed, finally, the white shadow broke through the clouds, as if descending into the world.

And everyone present widened their eyes once again, exclaiming: "It's so big!"

It's really big, especially as the Tianchao gets closer, they can feel the sense of size.

Some of the people present had seen the landing of An-225, because An-225 had also been to Huaguo before, and at this moment, looking at this huge Tiancharian reminded them of the landing of An-225.

Looking at it now, An 225 is nothing at all. In front of the Tianchao, it is like a little brother.

"Good guy, we must find a way to get the country to build a similar one for our air force. Our air force must have this kind of thing!"

An old soldier stared straight at the Tianchariot, his eyes were straight, such a magnificent thing, and it was still flying in the sky, there should be so many in their air force!
The soldier next to him also nodded and said, "Our navy should have one."

The old soldier glanced at him and said with a smile: "Oh? Is it the confidence that your deck runway that is several hundred meters long gives you, or what?"

"Hehe, I mean the shrunken one." The soldier next to him snorted coldly, not to be outdone.

And the old soldier curled his lips. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have come to join in the excitement of these flying guys.

Then he looked at the Tianchao which was getting closer and closer, feeling more and more emotional in his heart, how great it would be if their army could also have such awesome equipment?
Look at those 48 wheels on the undercarriage, it's just so handsome.

At this time, the Tianchao had lowered its landing gear, and the 48 wheels obviously attracted the attention of everyone present.

In this way, time passed quickly, and the Tianchao was getting closer and closer to the ground.

"The current altitude of Tianren is 100 meters."

"90 meters."

"80 meters."

"..."

In the tower, everyone held their breath, waiting for that moment to come.

In reality, the landing of any civil aviation aircraft requires manual control. No civil aviation aircraft has ever been able to land safely by autopilot.

This is because the landing procedure of civil aviation aircraft is a series of complicated processes. After all, civil aviation aircraft are very heavy and bulky, unlike ordinary drones. Because they are small, landing is easy. It won't cause any big problems.

Once a civil aviation aircraft fails to land, the property loss and social impact will be immeasurable.

Although the Tianren is not a civil aviation aircraft, if it fails to land, the property loss and social impact will also be very large.

But what it uses is an intelligent driving system that is impossible to use in civil aviation.

Therefore, everyone present was afraid that the landing would fail due to a problem in the end.

This is the first time in history that artificial intelligence can land such a huge aircraft.

While watching the current situation closely, the staff in the command room looked at Lin Xiao from time to time, wanting to know what Lin Xiao was thinking at this time.

It's just that Lin Xiao was expressionless at this time, holding a teacup in his hand, waiting quietly, as if he was not worried at all.

But in fact, he wasn't even worried at all, and even felt a little helpless.

Because Xiaomi seems to be addicted to playing.

"Master, driving this thing is really fun, can I play again?"

Lin Xiao didn't speak.

And Xiaomi asked again: "Master, master, if you can't play this time, when can you play next time?"

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly, then took off his earphones, took out his mobile phone, and typed a few words: "Next time, let you go to the moon to play"

Then two words appeared on the input box: "Okay! 』

"20 meters."

"15 meters."

"10 meters."

"..."

The staff said in their mouths, and at the same time, they were already able to see the behemoth outside through the window.

The huge landing gear, the huge fuselage, and the deafening roar.

A huge sense of oppression was felt, which was unique to the Tianchariot when it landed, and it was completely different from the spectacular feeling when it took off.

This sense of oppression can be felt even in the command room, let alone those on both sides of the airport.

If there is an air emperor in today's human civilization, then probably only the Tianchariot can be called that.

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

As the landing height came to the end, everyone had already looked out of the window, looking at the Tianchariot.

The landing posture is perfect, just like the most standard landing posture, with even speed and stability.

Then, the 48 wheels touched the bottom firmly, and then began to roll.

And as the pressure of the fuselage completely bottomed out, the friction sound of the tires rolling and the runway also rang out violently.

This kind of special tire has excellent cushioning performance and can easily bear the landing of the Tianchariot.

In this way, with the activation of the braking system, the speed of the Tianchariot finally slowed down completely, and then it stopped firmly at one end of the runway.

Seeing this scene, everyone immediately cheered whether it was in the command room or on both sides of the runway.

All doubts from abroad were completely shattered at this moment.

"Pretty!"

"Amazing!"

"What is a perfect landing? This is called a perfect landing!"

People danced with hands and feet, and their faces were full of excitement.

And the cameraman from CCTV almost frantically pressed the shutter.

When he was dispatched to carry out this work, he was very excited. After all, being able to get in touch with the Tianchariot so closely made his colleagues crazy with envy.

If he hadn't been the photographer of military propaganda films for many times, otherwise, this opportunity really wouldn't have come to him.

But now, while he can only feel the shock in his heart, he is also thankful that he can be the world's first professional photographer to shoot the Tianchariot.

In this way, he didn't give up until the Tianchao landed completely and he took pictures from several angles.

Next, he will first hand it over to the Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute for review, and then the approved photos will be returned to CCTV for publicity.

And it didn't take long, he quickly submitted all the photos to the people of the Aerospace Research Institute, and soon, some qualified photos were sent to CCTV.

CCTV, which had been waiting anxiously for a long time, published the report directly on the Internet.

[The chariot landed smoothly!The era of aerospace planes has officially arrived]

When netizens saw the news released by CCTV, they immediately entered enthusiastically.

Who made it so that only CCTV can release close-up photos now.

And the photos of the Tianren in the CCTV news once again aroused everyone's excitement.

Although this photo is not as imposing as the ones taken in the universe before, it makes people even more amazed because it is clearer and closer.

Huaguo netizens immediately started to comment.

"Fortunately, the person who took the photo was not from Zhan Siju, this looks really oppressive! 』

"Haha, now we no longer need to keep a low profile by war and ignorance. Once the Tianchariot is released, who will fight against it?" 』

"I can only say it again, Lin Shen is awesome! 』

"Lin Shen is awesome! 』

……

At the same time, various foreign platforms have also been boiling, because CCTV also posted the photos on their foreign platforms.

For some countries with cultural background and history, they may be a little envious, but for some countries without cultural background and history, this kind of sci-fi stuff is simply envious of their citizens crazy.

"My Jesus, is this the flying Titanic?" 』

"Bullshit, this is a Jedi starfighter, how dare a sunken thing like the Titanic compare to this?" 』

"Why are the Chinese always able to create such powerful things?This is really unacceptable.』

"Isn't it because our scientists are so useless, besides making money, what else can they do?" 』

"I'm going to China!I want to be an astronaut of Huaguo!In this way, I will have the opportunity to fly this plane called 'Tian Chariot', right? 』

"Then you must first have a green card from Huaguo, and Huaguo's green card is the most difficult to obtain a green card in the world."

"Oh no!Why was I born in this country! 』

"Okay, okay, we are still looking forward to it. In the future, Huaguo will be able to open space tourism flights of aerospace planes."

"..."

In this way, the successful landing of the Tianren, as well as the few photos, became a hot topic on various foreign forums, and easily reached the top of the hot search lists.

So, on this day, almost the whole world was discussing the successful landing of the Tianren.

As for the fire in the United States a few months later, it was basically ignored by everyone.

After all, there are only a few people who can land on Mars, and ordinary people cannot choose.

The aerospace plane is different. This is something that everyone can use. Because it can be reused, the price will definitely not be as expensive as the rocket launch price.

Just like SpaceX’s price of launching each kilogram of cargo into the universe is the cheapest in the world, but it is still as high as 3000-5000 US dollars.

According to this price, if the average weight of a person is 60 kilograms, it is at least 18 US dollars, and what needs to be known is that this is goods.

Unless you want to bury yourself in the universe, the price will be much higher.

The aerospace plane may be much cheaper.

Moreover, aerospace planes are not like rockets. They need to start training at least one or two years in advance and deal with the acceleration of gravity up to several G.

Aerospace planes are relatively smoother, so that anyone can ride as long as they are not suffering from any physical illness.

All in all, countless people are looking forward to the day when they can see what the blue planet looks like with their own eyes.

……

Compared with the heated discussions on the Internet, the discussions here at Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute are equally heated.

After all, others can only discuss it on the Internet at most, but here they can directly board the Tianchao and observe inside.

And Lin Xiao personally led a group of people into the spaceship to appreciate it, and the interior space of the spaceship is also unique.

It's almost the same as those in sci-fi works, probably the only thing that's missing is the 3D projection.

After appreciating it, they returned to the conference room of the research institute.

"It's really amazing, Chief Lin, you are indeed the chief scientist of our country! It is really a great prosperity for our country to have you."

Ren Guohua, director of the space agency, held Lin Xiao's hand and thanked him repeatedly. In the future, their space agency will take off. Hey, who in other countries can build space planes?
From then on, they are the first country in spaceflight!
And their space agency can feel proud from now on.

Hey, in the past, the world only knew about NASA, but not CNSA. In the future, their CNSA will be the real thumb.

And Lin Xiao said with a smile: "Director Ren, it's not impossible, I just did what I should do."

At this time, the old soldier asked again: "Chief Lin, can the intelligent driving system of your aerospace plane be used on our plane?"

Hearing the old soldier's question, Lin Xiao just smiled, "That's for sure, and there's no problem at all!"

"Or it can be said that apart from the Tianren itself, the main purpose of this test flight is to show off our intelligent driving system."

In addition to the miracle created by Tianchao itself, Tianchao also created a new achievement, that is, using artificial intelligence to make such a huge aerospace plane, from take-off to orbit, to return and landing, artificial intelligence Smart does all the work!

This is something that no other computer technology company in the world can do.

And their Tianchariot did it!

Therefore, the veteran soldier quickly realized the power of this point.

If the functionality of this intelligent driving system is stronger than that shown on the Tianren, and it can cope with more complicated situations, maybe the future civil aviation pilots will be unemployed.

Of course, for the military, this kind of intelligence makes them even more envious.

Especially for the air force and navy, if this kind of artificial intelligence can drive their various military aircraft, such as fighter jets, doesn't it mean that they will be able to save the time of training pilots and directly create unmanned A human piloted a fighter jet and went straight into the battle?
And the most important thing is not to worry about sacrifice.

After hearing Lin Xiao's narration, the old soldier's eyes lit up when he learned that the intelligent driving system can be used as a fighter pilot with only a little modification.

"Okay! I'll talk to the Military Commission when I get back!" the soldier clapped his hands immediately.

The soldiers next to them also had their eyes lit up. After all, the carrier-based aircraft belonged to them, so they immediately said, "Me too!"

As for the old soldiers, they talked about it in every possible way.

It is flying in the sky again.

The joys and sorrows of people are not connected, he only feels noisy.

But at this time, Lin Xiao suddenly said to him: "This autopilot system can also be used on the army's cellular drones. I just don't know if you have heard of the lethal autonomous weapon system?"

When the soldier next to him heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh yes!

Cellular drones, and lethal autonomous weapon systems.

He knows it all too well!

Immediately, he also joined in this high-spirited discussion.

Until the end, several military soldiers left contentedly.

Until the end, only the director of the space agency and the people from Yueshi Division remained.

"Is there anything else for you guys?"

Ren Guohua, director of the space agency, turned serious and said, "Chief Lin, we want to start the lunar transformation plan as soon as possible."

"Now, the Tianchariot has achieved great success, I believe it should be fully used for this plan, right?"

And Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and said: "We can start when our six drivers finish training, and there are still three months before their training is over."

"Okay!" Ren Guohua nodded heavily, "Then we will wait for three months!"
