Chapter 412 Race against time

"I would like to ask Chairman Dong Chen. Arclight Aerospace surpassed the famous Musk Aerospace Company just after its establishment and became the best civilian aerospace company in the world. What do you think?"

A Japanese reporter asked Dong Chen.

"Correct a question," Dong Chen looked at him and then raised a finger and said to him, "So far, our aerospace plane is indeed the best in the world, but when it comes to rocket technology, we can't compare to Musk. aerospace company, and ArcLight Aerospace is indeed a new establishment and still has a long way to go. As for whether we can keep this best title in the future, it depends on our efforts."

"It's just my thoughts or something. It's nothing. I feel pretty good. Answered. Thank you. Next one."

"…………"

What does it mean to feel good?

Can you give a more professional answer? After all, he is the chairman of a super large group.

The Japanese reporter roared crazily in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said "thank you" and sat down as instructed.

The reporters were not surprised when they saw this, because they were all veterans, all with old faces. This Japanese reporter looked like a novice at first glance.

I don’t know what the original beautiful reporter did, whether she was promoted, or why she sent such a stupid young man.

They also knew what the Japanese reporter was thinking, but they didn't say anything and started asking questions of their own.

This is where you need to seize the time.

They are all veteran reporters who continue to follow the news of Arc Light Group. They have met Dong Chen many times, so they also have some understanding of Dong Chen.

After they asked Dong Chen questions for the first time, they never asked Dong Chen questions again, because this big boss... really couldn't make assumptions based on common sense.

And it’s not just a matter of unprofessionalism that we can’t offend this big boss. Not only does he have unimaginable capital, he also has a very large network initiative. Several online media have already been shut down due to the long-term paralysis of their main websites. Although there is no direct evidence, some well-informed people in the media industry already know that this may be related to the Arc Light Group.

Because several online media outlets had previously attempted to publish news that was unfavorable to Dong Chen, but the news disappeared from their own network databases before it was sent out, and some were replaced within a second of uploading. , replaced by the people and nature of spring.

Then...it closed down for "various reasons."

So relatively speaking, it is better to ask other people. Although most of the questions are answered by veterans, sometimes you can still meet some old and new ones.

For example, Xiang Wu, the current chief designer, became the person who was asked the most questions at the scene.

After all, it was difficult for the two big guys at the scene to ask questions, so they could only turn the question to today's protagonist, the aerospace plane.

But the next question was much more friendly. After all, they were all old acquaintances, and the big brothers standing behind were not just decorations. They would be "invited" out if they deliberately looked for trouble.

On the next day, the whole world knew that another civil aerospace giant had emerged in the world, and it was the kind of person who had risen strongly and stood out from the crowd.

On December 15th, only those who watched the live broadcast knew about it. This time, the media came together to make the situation of Arc Light Aerospace known to the whole world. Even the News Network gave a time slot and followed it several times. Domestic aerospace events are of similar size.

Not everyone pays attention to the aerospace industry, especially those who are busy working hard for a living every day, but such a big-movement advertisement does have the purpose of spreading the word.

But even with the evidence, there are still some people who refuse to believe it, and even these people include some Chinese.

Not only did he not believe it, he even scolded her arrogantly in the comment area.

Of course, they were also beaten badly.

But... go ahead and go away. If you don’t believe it, just stay on earth and play in the mud.

………………

Time flies, and we have entered 2019 in a blink of an eye.

Xiang Wu Office at Arc Space Base.

"How is it going? Is it going well?" Dong Chen asked as he looked at the modification plan of X-KT01-2 in front of him.

"It's not bad. It's close to our original idea. It's basically a perfect solution." Xiang Wu took the flat-panel display and clicked on it a few times. A pattern appeared in the fields of view of his and Dong Chen's smart glasses. There is a model airplane on the open space in the office.

This aircraft is slightly different from the original X-KT01, and is its improved model X-KT01-2.

Xiang Wu looked at the aircraft model, and then moved it on the tablet. The improvement data about X-KT01-2 was marked next to the aircraft model one by one.

"We have improved the lift problem of the aircraft. Our materials are very advanced and very strong. Actual experiments have proven this. We can also make the wings larger, so that they can save more energy in the atmosphere. fuel……"

"The shape of the fuselage is also closer to the aerospace shuttles in science fiction movies. Not to mention, some science fiction movies are not just messed up. Many things are technologically forward-looking..."

"The power transmission system has also been fine-tuned. It was difficult to simulate some conditions in space, so the previous design was somewhat deviated and some fuel was wasted..."

"And look at the cargo compartment," Xiang Wu expanded the model of X-KT01-2 and directly showed its cargo compartment.

"Actually, it can now be finalized as a small aerospace transport aircraft, and the fuel tank has been changed back to the original small cargo compartment. However, due to the limitations of the shape and size of the cargo compartment, transporting some materials is similar to that of small satellites. The entire space station section is different. Think about it."

Dong Chen nodded and said, "Actually, it's because the size of the aircraft is too small. It's only more than 20 meters, which is a few sizes larger than the heavy fighter. The technology cannot be as slippery as the "Black Hawk". Fuel, equipment, etc. The things take up a lot of space, the cockpit for three people also takes up some space, and the cargo bay can only hold missiles."

"Ahem, Old Dong, although you are telling the truth, you still need to pay attention to sensitivity. We still talk about "small aerospace orbital transportation equipment for experiments" outside." Xiang Wu reminded carefully from the side.

Although they... yes, they are indeed proceeding in that direction, but they are now a civilian company, and it is not good to be too aggressive.

"Do I look like a fool?" Dong Chen gave Xiang Wu a strange look. "Of course you wouldn't say that in front of outsiders."

"Now we should hurry up and research large-scale aerospace transport aircraft. We also need to start researching moon landing and return spacecraft. There is no atmosphere and runway on the moon. Our aerospace plane cannot take off and land there. We still have to rely on vertical takeoff and landing. From the spaceship.”

"This has been going on, and it does not conflict with the X-KT01 experimental improvement project. We have a lot of people now, and we are divided into several groups to work on it at the same time. The progress is also good. It will be assembled in about two months. 4 It will be ready for test flight in the next month." Xiang Wu said as he flipped through the task list on the tablet.

"The lunar landing equipment and astronaut return equipment are also in progress, and the progress is good. You have solved the problem of the jet engine, and other problems are not a problem for us."

"Well," Dong Chen nodded and said, "Musk Aerospace is following closely behind, and their manned space mission is about to begin."
