I Am the President of the University

Text Chapter 701 Supersonic Airliner vs Hyperloop (Subscribe)

People always say, don't forget the original intention.

It's easy to say, but hard to do.

Money, status, honor... These are all temptations in the path of life.

Few people can resist these.

Whether it is a championship field, an enterprise or a university, there are some default rules. If you refuse to join forces with them, you will be pushed out instead.

It's like 11g and Professor Rao were selected as academicians in the same year. The strength of the two was completely fine, but they were brushed down for some reasons, and they were told that they would be rated in the next session.

The former chose to forbear, the latter directly angered the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and exposed the shady secrets of the selection of academicians of the Academy of Sciences, which caused Professor Rao to miss the Chinese Academy of Sciences for life.

Professor Zhao Yong is undoubtedly the former.

It's just that at this moment, he suddenly woke up.

What is your original aspiration for studying?

Read for the rise of China!

He was born in 1960, which was the most difficult period in China.

Not having enough to eat is not a rare phenomenon, but a norm.

After ten years of buzzing, Zhao Yong took the college entrance examination and was lucky enough to be admitted once.

After entering the university, Zhao Yong did not dare to relax.

As the earliest batch of Chinese college students, every student is a treasure to the country.

They shoulder the hope of a prosperous and strong country, how can they dare to relax?

But how did I become like this...

Professor Zhao Yong's face was scorching hot, he looked around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he remembered that he was still on the plane and the destination was Ludao, and he felt remorse.

"Since Guanghua's super high-speed rail project has been approved by Mr. Qi, then the other party's research must have made a certain breakthrough." Zhao Yong murmured.

Several times before, he wanted to apply for a major national scientific research plan with a vacuum hyperloop, but every expert seminar was strongly opposed by Mr. Qi, who believed that the time was not enough, and doing it now would only consume national strength.

At that time, Zhao Yong was full of anger, and only thought that he was being targeted by Qi Lao.

And that old Qi, who was a meritorious deed of the Republic, devoted his whole life to the construction of China's railways.

It's not that there is no money, the country will never be stingy with this kind of merit.

But no matter how much the state rewarded Mr. Qi, it was donated by Mr. Qi.

Qi Lao only said that he is very satisfied with his current life, and someone needs this money more than him.

There are many such people with noble morals in the history of the Republic, such as Mr. Shouchang back then, and now Grandpa Yuan.

"Elder Qi, is the time right now?" Zhao Yong smiled bitterly, feeling really uncomfortable.

The super high-speed rail that he has studied for 12 years has been recognized by Qi Lao, and the one from Guanghua...

It's really people-to-people, maddening people.

But thinking of the person who tossed the photonic screen and the optical core with one hand, it seems to be understandable to make the super high-speed rail.

After all, the other party was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and he completed four doctorates in four years. Such a rare genius can understand any breakthrough.

After all, in the past history, no one at MIT can achieve such a result.

Oh, if not counting Tony Stark.

Zhao Yong sat in his seat and looked at his watch, feeling uncomfortable.

Seeing that it is only an hour away from Ludao, I can't get off the plane halfway, but what to do...

Come to the door to find the other party's theory?

Isn't that humiliating!

Thinking about it, Zhao Yong sighed, his face very worried.

"This is a big shame."

at the same time.

After the 7 o'clock news program was reported, the major official media also exerted their efforts, and the popularity of the super high-speed rail was directly aired on Weibo and Zhihu.

There are even three hyperloop topics in the top five of Weibo's hot search list.

1. Super high-speed rail project

2. The super high-speed rail with a speed of up to 4000/hour is coming

5. How much black technology is hidden in Guanghua University?

Every day, netizens are shocked by the shock of Guanghua University every three to five.

"No, I remember that Guanghua University is not currently conquering mr smart glasses and lithium-air batteries? This hyperloop doesn't fit well. Is this a cross-border affair?"

"Guanghua University Bulls!"

"My friends and I are stunned, the speed is 4,000 kilometers per hour??? Then it's a barren plane, just take this super high-speed rail!"

"Wait, how do you breathe in a vacuum?"

"Are you stupid upstairs? The hyperloop can be achieved, and you are still worried about not being able to breathe? It's a big deal to have an oxygen tank for everyone."

"Oxygen tank? 666, the small comment area unexpectedly found two crouching dragons and phoenixes, questions that you can think of, experts can't think of?"

"Speaking of the construction of this super high-speed rail, the cost of the vacuum pipeline should not be low, right? In fact, I want to say that the best construction environment for the vacuum super high-speed rail is the moon and Mars, and it will directly open the era of interstellar immigration!"

"The moon has come out, I think you really want to go to the sky..."

"No, no, you really believe it? I think it's fake even if I think about it with my feet! I think this Chen Hao from Guanghua University is the Musk of the United States, a super big fool! Building a vacuum super high-speed rail? Might as well A nuclear bomb blows up the Himalayas and draws warm air from the Indian Ocean to turn the Taklimakan Desert into a forest!”

There are mixed reviews in the comment area, and there are many voices questioning the hyperloop project of Guanghua University. After all, this is too scary.

From the high-speed rail of 350km/h to 4,000km/h, the span is too large, even the initial stage of 1,500km/h is amazing.

In particular, the vacuum pipeline technology involved is still immature.

…

United States, New York.

Just as China entered the middle of the night, it was still morning in New York.

Going to work, going to school, going to school, everything was the same as usual, until a news came from the other side of the ocean, and there was a commotion.

American netizens were even more "excited" and turned into keyboard warriors.

"f**k, vacuum hyperloop? It must be fake news! How could it be conquered by the Chinese, I don't believe it!"

"4000 km/h?! How much resistance needs to be overcome?! Power requirements, pipeline strength, high cost?! It is basically difficult for humans to achieve in the short term, let alone China!"

"I want to ask how to solve the safety problem? The plane can still fly after an earthquake. What safety measures can this hyperloop take to stop? And during the driving process, how to brake in an emergency? You need to know that at very high speeds Driving, you will die instantly!"

"Only our great America can conquer the hyperloop. Everyone knows it, and the Chinese like to brag."

There are also netizens who watch the fun and don't think it's a big deal.

"It's so interesting. If the hyperloop can be commercialized, wouldn't Boeing be cool? Tsk tsk."

In the end, there is no shortage of "insiders".

"As a practitioner in a related industry, I would like to briefly express my personal views.

I personally have little hope for this mode of transportation. why? In a word, cost!

First of all, the maintenance of the vacuum pipeline is difficult, and it is greatly affected by the geology. Once the earthquake, water damage, etc., the safety is greatly reduced;

Secondly, maintaining a vacuum state, the operating cost of the air pump system is high. It is scary to simply estimate the cost of a route that is hundreds of kilometers long;

Also, the shipping volume is not large. The cross-sectional area of ​​the pipeline is restricted, and the length of the transfer relay station is restricted. Under various conditions, the transportation volume is small and it is not cost-effective;

In the end, this thing really has no advantages compared to aircraft! Supersonic airliners have been around in the last century. The top speed of the Concorde supersonic airliner is Mach 2.04, which is not stronger than this 1500 km/h? "

Apple headquarters.

After listening to the assistant's report, Cook's face was a little weird, and he asked the assistant, "Are you sure this is true? The technical requirements of the vacuum hyperloop are not low."

"Boss, the authenticity of the news has been confirmed. There is a change in the other party's bank, and it should be in the process of mobilizing funds."

After swiping away the assistant, Cook couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

"Why did Guanghua University go to work on the hyperloop, what the **** is going on?" Cook frowned.

I really can't figure it out. Is it better to develop optical cores than to make money from this super high-speed rail?

And, can it really be made?

spacex company.

There was a sudden burst of crazy laughter in an office.

"Haha, I knew hyperloops could be built!"

Musk is known as a "tech madman", naturally because of his crazy plans. For example, the "Starlink" plan was sprayed with blood by netizens around the world a few years ago. Even domestic netizens don't believe much, but who would think It came true.

But the super high-speed rail project has not been so smooth.

In 2013, he proposed the hyperloop plan at the Science and Technology Conference, believing that the hyperloop can transport passengers over long distances at a super-high speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour, and later established the "Super Railway Transportation Technology Company".

It's just a pity, even if his ppt is very good, it has not been supported by the white house in the United States.

It was delayed until 2017, and the 310 km/h test of the vacuum hyperloop was completed, which is far from the 1,200 km/h he proposed in 2013.

Even this year, the hyperloop test is progressing slowly, and it has even attracted the dissatisfaction of many shareholders.

But it's different now, there has been a breakthrough in China, which proves that hyperloop is feasible!

He is not wrong!

The laughter stopped, and Musk became restless.

"No, I have to go to China to reach a cooperation with the other party!"

Boeing Company.

David Calhoun, Boeing's CEO, was in a bad mood, greeting someone in his office.

"Fake!"

"Fake squid!"

"Damn Chinese!"

The world's four largest aircraft manufacturers are Airbus in Europe, Boeing in the United States, Bombardier in Canada and Embraer.

The latter two are ignored, and the first two are the strongest.

In particular, the American Boeing Company is a leader in the global aerospace industry and one of the largest civil and military aircraft manufacturers in the world.

Boeing not only produces commercial passenger aircraft, but also electronic and defense systems, missiles, satellites, launchers and other businesses.

It’s just a pity that as the oldest Boeing company in recent years, life has not been very good, mainly because the development of Airbus in Europe is too rapid. Since the beginning of the past few years, Airbus has surpassed Boeing in terms of passenger aircraft market deliveries and contract orders. It surpassed Boeing to become the world's largest manufacturer of commercial airliners.

Well now, China is tossing the super high-speed rail again. Once this is really realized, not to mention their Boeing company, the entire civil aviation field will be affected!

unless…

Calhoun wandered around the office, his eyes flickering, his mind caught in a difficult choice.

After a long time, his eyes turned fierce.

"It's time to restart the b2707 program!"

Only magic can fight magic!

Ordinary passenger planes with a speed of more than 800 kilometers per hour are not the opponents of hyperloops at all, UU read www. uukanshu. com But if it's a supersonic airliner, it's hard to say.

The birth of supersonic passenger aircraft was during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Not only the United States and the former Soviet Union, but also the United Kingdom and France participated in this space "competition".

At the end of December 1968, the Soviet Union successfully built the supersonic aircraft Tu-144 and successfully tested it.

In March 1969, the "Concorde" supersonic aircraft jointly developed by Britain and France successfully flew over Toulouse, France. In January 1976, Concorde entered commercial operation.

Boeing also had plans for a supersonic airliner in the 1960s: the b2707.

But in the end the project was cancelled in 1971.

Because the cost-effectiveness of supersonic airliners is too low, the fare is as high as 9,000 US dollars!

It will also produce sonic booms, which will cause very large noise pollution to residents during the flight, which has severely limited the use of this supersonic airliner.

In 2003, the Concorde, the only operating aircraft in the world, also retired after completing its last flight, and the supersonic airliner that was all the rage has since withdrawn from the stage of history.

But today, if the world's major aircraft manufacturers do not want to go bankrupt, they must restart the supersonic airliner plan, otherwise civil aviation will be impacted by the hyperloop in the next two decades!

Just when Calhoun made his decision, Chen Hao, the culprit who caused the civil aviation turmoil in the world, was staring at a blue jacket in a daze.

"A random item gave me a blue jacket???"

However, when he thought of the products produced by the system, there should be no ordinary products. When he looked at the properties of the item, he raised his eyebrows.

"interesting."
