Chapter 482 Ning Chen's Secret

The two of them spent several days thinking about it before they decided on the final design direction.

Ning Chen and Song Xiyun will focus on a fixed process standard and, on this basis, create an aerospace fighter with the strongest performance.

This feeling is a bit like determining the cards in your hand and then planning the best combination of cards. Although it is a bit helpless, it is the best option under the current circumstances.

After determining this general direction, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun began to study the design and technical details.

The difficulty of this research project does not lie in any individual technology, but in how to combine these different technologies so that the overall design can achieve the best effect.

This really tests the designer's comprehensive abilities and overall perspective, and it is not a job that can be completed more easily with more people. On the contrary, the communication costs and tacit understanding issues caused by the increase in the number of participants will make the entire work more difficult to proceed smoothly.

Only someone like Song Xiyun, whose abilities are relatively close to Ning Chen's, is suitable to work with Ning Chen and complement Ning Chen.

…………

In the following period of time, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun maintained a high-intensity work state every day, dedicated to completing the design work of the new version of the aerospace fighter.

Just as they expected, their design work did not go smoothly at the beginning. The first few aerospace fighter design plans did not receive good evaluation from the simulation model, and some even failed to meet the minimum requirements of aerospace fighters.

After all, this was the first time they were designing an aerospace fighter, and Ning Chen and Song Xiyun could not find anything to refer to. The design plans imagined by their predecessors, although they looked very gorgeous, had no practical value.

Among these, the only one worth Ning Chen and Song Xiyun's reference is the system's aerospace fighter design plan.

Fortunately, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun maximized the value of this set of aerospace fighter design drawings, and after continuous trial and exploration, the two finally began to design some pretty good new plans.

Seeing that they were finally getting better, Song Xiyun said excitedly:
"Ning Chen, we have finally designed a plan that satisfies the simulation model. According to the requirements of this plan, we will be able to manufacture this aerospace fighter within a few years at least."

Ning Chen was also very happy with the result, but this design plan was far from meeting Ning Chen's final requirements.

"Yes, Song Xiyun, this is indeed a result that makes us happy. Of course, I believe that we can design a better plan."

"Yeah, Ning Chen, I have the same idea. I know that with our capabilities, this plan is far from achieving the best results."

The result was exactly as Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had imagined. After repeated attempts, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun designed several better aerospace fighter plans.

It was not until Ning Chen felt that they were finally reaching their limit that he decided to use the best design plan as the standard and prepare to carry out the processing work on the aerospace fighter according to this plan.

"Song Xiyun, let's proceed with the processing according to this plan. Even artificial intelligence gave this plan a near-full score. This is almost the best plan we have designed with our current capabilities."

"Well, Ning Chen, since you said that, I also think that this plan is indeed very close to perfection. Then Ning Chen, this time you can finally tell me how we should follow this plan and build this aerospace fighter?"

Song Xiyun had been very curious about this question before, but because Ning Chen did not give her a clear answer at that time, Song Xiyun had to bury her curiosity deep in her heart.

What Song Xiyun really wanted to know was how Ning Chen could achieve rapid progress in the industrial manufacturing industry within a short period of time, and without outsiders knowing about it.

Because with the current level of satellite exploration and information detection in the world, there are actually not many secrets in this world. Especially for large-scale industrial actions such as manufacturing aerospace fighters, it is difficult not to attract any attention from the outside world.

After hearing Song Xiyun's question, Ning Chen decided to fulfill his promise and no longer keep it a secret from Song Xiyun.

"Song Xiyun, tomorrow we will quietly go to a place, and then we will know everything. Of course, our trip is still a top secret. From the outside, we are still working here, and no one will know that we have gone to this place."

Looking at Ning Chen's mysterious look, Song Xiyun couldn't wait to say:
"Ning Chen...if there is nothing special to do, let's go to this place now. To be honest, I can't wait to find out what this secret is."

In fact, the reason why Ning Chen wanted himself and Song Xiyun to go there tomorrow was to allow Song Xiyun some time to rest and prepare, but since Song Xiyun was so impatient, Ning Chen decided to simply skip these steps.

"Okay, let's pack up a bit and set off right away. During this process, if anything unexpected happens, Song Xiyun, you must try to stay calm."

"Don't worry, Ning Chen. I've seen a lot of big things. I won't be startled by small things."

After all, Song Xiyun is one of the very few people on the blue planet who has been to the moon. Song Xiyun feels that since he has even been to an alien planet and has walked through the gates of life and death, there shouldn't be anything that would surprise him to the point of losing his mind.

But it turned out that what happened next was completely unexpected for Song Xiyun.

After Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had made their preparations, Ning Chen suddenly issued an order. An opening of about one square meter suddenly appeared in the middle of the floor of Ning Chen's office.

"Song Xiyun, this is a secret passage in my office. I secretly set it up before. Through this passage, you can go directly to the outside world or some special secret places."

"Ning Chen...you really surprised me. You were able to secretly build such an underground passage without anyone noticing...I really don't know how you did it." "Haha, after all, my usual situation is very dangerous. There are so many people in this world who want me to disappear, so I always have to keep a few tricks up my sleeve. I have never used this passage before, and this is the first time I have really used this trump card..."

As for when and how he completed the excavation of these underground tunnels, Ning Chen did not explain it in detail to Song Xiyun, because it involved some system's extraordinary power, which was indeed not convenient to explain to others.

Ning Chen took Song Xiyun with him into the underground passage and gradually came to a relatively large area.

Unlike what Song Xiyun had imagined, this underground passage did not lead directly to some place outside, but was extremely complicated inside and had a variety of different functions.

"Song Xiyun, you can see that there are abundant food, water, and energy reserves here, and the defense level is also very high. Even if a nuclear bomb explodes above, it will not cause any impact on the space inside. This is a very safe shelter, enough for a few people to survive here for decades..."

In order to deal with some special situations that may arise, Ning Chen has arranged enough necessary resources in this underground area. Of course, what Song Xiyun has seen now is only a small part of its functions.

"Ning Chen, if possible, can such underground shelters be promoted on a large scale? If the Blue Star civilization really encounters a crisis in the future, this kind of underground shelter will definitely play a very important role."

For example, an asteroid impact is an event with a very low probability, but if the timeline is continuously extended, the occurrence of such a low-probability event will basically become inevitable.

"Yes, Song Xiyun, we will definitely promote this technology in the future. At present, this must be a secret, otherwise we will not have any trump cards. You don't have to worry. If necessary, we can promote this technology in a short time. From the time we discover the asteroid to the time the asteroid flies to the blue planet, it is more than enough..."

At this time, Ning Chen brought Song Xiyun to a location where there were carriages and tracks similar to those of a subway. Of course, the actual scale was much smaller than that of a subway, but it was enough to carry Ning Chen and Song Xiyun.

"Come on, Song Xiyun, let's get in the car. The journey will take about an hour, and we can continue to discuss some things about aerospace fighters or any other topics on the way."

After learning that the entire journey would take an hour, Song Xiyun realized that the place Ning Chen was going to take her to was not a very close place.

But when this "subway"-like means of transportation actually started running, Song Xiyun realized that the distance was much farther than she had imagined.

Because this seemingly unremarkable little carriage, after a period of acceleration, gradually increased its speed to more than 300 kilometers per hour, such a speed made Song Xiyun amazed.

"Ning Chen...Is there a small nuclear fusion power device on this small carriage? Otherwise, it should not be able to reach such a speed."

"Yes, Song Xiyun, just as you imagined, there is indeed a small nuclear fusion power device on it. Of course, for the sake of safety, we still limit its speed. Otherwise, it can easily double its speed again. How about it, Song Xiyun, do you want to feel its faster speed?"

Song Xiyun quickly shook her head when she heard that. She felt that running this small carriage at a speed of 600 miles per hour was even more dangerous than flying into space on a spacecraft.

"Ning Chen, let's forget it. A one-hour journey is not that long for me, and the current speed is already very fast here."

For the next hour, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun chatted casually about some topics related to scientific research, but before they could finish their conversation, they felt the car starting to slow down.

"It seems that we are about to reach our destination. I am really looking forward to it." Song Xiyun said.

"Yes, we are not far from our destination. Let me tell you in advance that the place we are about to arrive is also an uninhabited area, and no one will greet us."

Ning Chen's words made Song Xiyun's heart, which had just calmed down, become excited again. Song Xiyun was no longer in the mood to discuss any scientific research issues with Ning Chen. Instead, she kept staring at the situation outside the carriage, anxious to check where their destination was.

Finally, the carriage slowly stopped at a position, but this was not a new world, it still had a structure similar to that of an underground shelter.

Seeing the doubt in Song Xiyun's heart, Ning Chen smiled and said:

"Song Xiyun, let's go up the passage to our final destination."

"I see. I thought we were going to live underground for a while."

After breathing a sigh of relief, Song Xiyun followed Ning Chen, walked through the underground passage, and finally came to the surface.

The moment she saw the outside world, Song Xiyun felt as if she had come to a paradise.

"Ning Chen! Is this... also a science fiction island?"

"Yes, this is also one of the science fiction islands. But the special thing about this place is that there are no other humans here except the two of us. Therefore, everything we do on the island will be kept strictly confidential."

Song Xiyun looked around the island and indeed did not find any signs of human activity. This made Song Xiyun realize that Ning Chen's words were not alarmist.

"But... Ning Chen, if that's the case, then how exactly are we going to manufacture this aerospace fighter? We can't just make it ourselves, right?"
