I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

To put it more bluntly, China's aerospace industry has already taken the initial form of generalization and standardization.

History has proven how important this is countless times.

For example, the biggest difference between the tank research and development systems of the Alliance and the West is the degree of generalization and standardization of parts.

The West needs a new tank. Designers will search the market for mature engines, gearboxes and other parts, and then combine them for optimization and in-depth design.

Alliance tank designers first set the basic technical requirements for the tank, and then ask each machinery factory to provide parts that meet the standards. If not, they have to set up a special research and development project.

The advantage of special processing is that the designed products often have superior overall performance and can meet the technical requirements well. The disadvantage is that the cost is too high. Each subsystem factory needs to build production lines for technical indicators. If no other objects can be found, Under the circumstances, low output naturally means extremely high costs.

At the same time, due to the small inventory and low versatility, the price of spare parts will be higher, maintenance will also require special training, and the entire army will need to adapt to the new equipment.

Western design ideas are completely different. Although mature subsystems are reliable and cheaper, they cannot meet the requirements 100%. The final design must make compromises. Either it is overweight or some technical indicators must be reduced.

The advantage is that the subsystems are highly versatile, a variety of equipment can be interoperable and interchangeable, maintenance is easier, spare parts are large and cheap, and the military can quickly master them.

One is performance-first, but the overall investment is higher; the other is slightly more modest, but it is compatible with most existing systems and reduces costs.

Engaging in aerospace is not a war. It doesn't matter if it is slightly overweight, larger, or consumes more power. What is needed is to increase the scale and get rid of the status quo of being small but refined as soon as possible.

Relying on the increasingly mature industrial chain, the era of multi-year research cycles for spacecraft projects will be gone forever. There are ready-made subsystems everywhere, and there is no need to invest huge sums of money in special research and development.

But in fact, this has already been reflected last year. Several private aerospace companies rely on buying off-the-shelf engines and recycling systems to build rockets. Not only are the costs low and the cycle short, they have also achieved incredible success rates. They are already successful examples.

Although there is only one T7 sent up now, two more can actually be assembled on the ground at any time. We are just waiting for the astronauts’ feedback before making improvements.

The large amount of new equipment made the four astronauts feel the pressure, but fortunately they all had helpers next.

Next to the landing site of the Yushu base, four humanoid robots have returned to the ground from the cave.

Compared with the delicate human astronauts, they can move as long as there is electricity. According to the plan, they can continue to work for 16 hours at a time, which is almost four to five times more efficient than four humans. It is only with their help that it is possible Set up the living cabin before the Spring Festival to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

…

Class B base.

Two C810s landed on the runway of the base. One landed the head leader of the Aviation Development Commission, and the other landed five technical experts and three officers with stars on their shoulders.

They all had serious expressions, but their eyes were full of shock, nervousness, confusion and excitement.

On the contrary, Lin Ju, who was the first to step onto the ground, hugged the air to prove his joy of returning "home" while looking at the rack C810 on the tarmac with satisfaction.

After Aramco finally opened up supersonic flight controls, the original domestic suppression was gone. Orders for the C810 in the two countries suddenly skyrocketed, with 110 already signed and as many as 230 intended orders.

In addition to many wealthy people who want to experience supersonic travel, there are also some airlines who requested to increase the number of seats after communicating with Star Airlines. Androv just changed the two staggered rows of seats into two equal rows, carrying more passengers. It was increased to 16 people and the structure was only slightly modified.

The C810 can also fly more than 5,000 kilometers. General regional airliners do not have this range. It can almost meet most travel needs, and some people are pursuing timeliness for this distance!

The six-hour travel time was instantly shortened to 2 hours, and the two hours was shortened to 30 minutes. I bought a cup of coffee before taking off and it was still hot when I arrived. Taking the bus in a big city takes longer than this.

If Boeing and Lockheed Martin hadn't reacted and secretly resisted and prepared to develop corresponding models, Androv estimated that Aramco would eventually acquire more than 500 aircraft.

Just relying on the supersonic passenger aircraft business, Star Airlines is sure to hand over more than 10 billion in profits to the base this year. When the C1000 and the Yizhou base start production, the aviation industry will become the base's biggest money bag.

Seeing Lin Ju looking at the plane with a silly smile, Zhong Cheng couldn't help but put his arm around his shoulders, which was very rare given his usual image.

"Brother, take us to see quickly, so many of us have been brought here by just one word from you."

"Ah...Okay, okay, come with me."

Lin Ju then asked everyone to get on the electric cars in the venue one by one and arrived at a relatively remote warehouse.

There were four security guards at the door. They carefully checked everyone and asked for items to be inspected before opening the warehouse door.

After entering, two more doors were opened, and people saw the goal of their trip:

In the middle of a tall, airtight and light-tight warehouse, a hexagonal cylinder with a maximum diameter of about 4.5 meters and a length of about 15 meters is placed on a special high platform. Densely wrapped pipelines can be seen around it. At the front is a 2.5-meter-diameter circular cylinder. The opening, with a curved excess, gradually shrinks inwards until it is no longer visible.

The inner wall of the trumpet-shaped narrow pipe emits concentrated light all around, which looks a bit dazzling. However, those with sharp eyes will find that the outer ring is as smooth as a mirror and reflects everything around it. The naked eye can see that its emissivity is very high. .

There were five engineers in the warehouse. Upon seeing this, one of them immediately blocked the opening with a plug wrapped in red cloth, and then signaled everyone not to cross the white line drawn on the ground.

The technical expert who was about to step in retracted his feet in embarrassment, but still explored everything in front of him with eager eyes, full of the piety unique to scientific researchers when facing advanced technology.

Lin Ju finally coughed and walked forward, proudly introducing:

"Director Zhong may not know, but others should know that in June I revealed to you the conjecture of a research study. Eight months later, we turned it into a reality."

"No, I have the impression that it's the one written by President Ye, right?"

Before Zhong Cheng took over, he consulted almost all relevant event information in great detail, and paid great attention to the technical aspect.

"You said that you control the gaseous plasma to form 100% reflection of a specific laser at a specific frequency, and obtain energy from the plasma. You continuously increase the energy level while performing multiple reflections, and ultimately increase the power of the laser light source by hundreds of times. ?"
