The Rise Of Space Technology

Half a month later, in a factory building of Xinghai Space Base, hundreds of scientists and engineers were watching the newly built private anti-gravity aircraft.

This private anti-gravity aircraft, named 'Skywalker', is about five meters long, four meters wide and two meters high. When viewed from above, it presents a perfect triangular curve shape.

The graceful curve is full of technological colors, and the cool shape makes people like it immediately. Coupled with its elegant posture, it is like a dancing swallow, even if it is not flying in the air. Imagine its heroic soaring in the sky.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Boss, this must be matched with me!"

Tang Peng looked at the private anti-gravity aircraft in front of him and couldn't help but marvel.

After a lifetime of aerospace research, I have finally built a beautiful aircraft.

"It's a must. At that time, all the senior managers of our company will be equipped with one first, and when the output comes up, all the employees will be equipped with it."

Liu Yuan naturally agreed, but it was also itchy, and said, "I'm here for a test drive, and I can't help but want to fly in the blue sky when I see it."

"Boss, boss, this can't be done!"

Everyone said in unison when they heard it.

What a joke, even though I am confident in my own skills, I would never dare to let Liu Yuan go up for this test drive. If something goes wrong, it will be a heavy blow to the entire Guo family.

A monstrous genius scientist like Liu Yuan is a precious treasure of a fruit family, and it must not be lost.

What's more, for Xinghai Technology, Liu Yuan is the soul here. If something goes wrong, Xinghai Technology will be finished.

"Yes, yes, boss, there will be opportunities in the future. Let a professional person come for this test drive."

Tang Peng also hurried to persuade, and then nodded to the pilot Tang Qing who had been prepared for a long time. The other party understood and went directly to this small private anti-gravity aircraft.

Like a car, it is also set with a car key, and the car key is pressed lightly.

"Chirp~"

With the sound, its hatches slowly opened to both sides, revealing a dreamlike interior.

Like a car, it has only two rows of four seats. The front two seats are here, the left is the driver's seat, and there is a large central control screen. The large screen is surrounded by several small monitors and several corresponding ones. indicator light.

There is also a steering wheel, which can be used to control the left and right directions. At the same time, there are joysticks on each side of the steering wheel. The left one is used to control the downward flight, and the right one is used to control the upward flight.

The control design is still very different from the aircraft. The control of the aircraft is basically done using the joystick, and there is no steering wheel at all.

In the design of private anti-gravity aircraft, more consideration is given to the driving experience of ordinary people, and the control and manipulation modes of cars are used for reference.

Using the steering wheel to control is also more easy to accept and control.

In general, things used by the public must be simple and easy to operate, just like there is a big difference between ordinary cars and professional racing cars. Without training, ordinary people will not drive professional racing cars at all.

Tang Qing sat in the driving position skillfully and fastened his seat belt skillfully. The seat belt of the private anti-gravity aircraft is also the safety system of the fighter plane. At the same time, the seat is also set according to the fighter plane. Bring a parachute.

If it encounters a promotion situation, it can be automatically ejected and then safely landed on the ground by parachute.

Of course, given the security settings of a private anti-gravity vehicle, that's impossible.

In the case of an anti-gravity engine, in the event of an upgrade, the aircraft's automatic system will turn off the aero-engine for the first time, and then fall to the ground under the control of the anti-gravity engine, or suspend directly in the air waiting for rescue.

After completing the safety work, Tang Qing put on the radio communication headset, made a ready gesture to Tang Peng's side, and then lightly pressed the button, and the hatch slowly closed.

"Ready to take off!"

Tang Peng nodded, and immediately ordered.

As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately moved to the control and command center, and began to get busy, preparing to test and track the relevant data of the aircraft.

"Control center, control center, No. 001 requests takeoff~"

Tang Qing held the steering wheel of the aircraft. After being a pilot for many years, this is the same time as driving a car. This gave him an illusion that he was not driving an aircraft but a car.

"Take off allowed, take off allowed~"

Soon, a voice sounded in the earphones.

"No. 001 is ready to take off, No. 001 is ready to take off!"

Tang Qing started the aircraft gently, and the central control screen was full of relevant data.

The flight altitude is 0 meters.

The flight speed is 0 m/s.

Flight mode; low-altitude low-speed mode.

The signal connection is normal.

The satellite signal connection is normal, and the positioning, tracking and navigation system is normal.

Number of aircraft within 10,000 meters: 0

It is very simple compared to the plane.

Just like driving a car, Tang Qing drove the aircraft slowly out of the warehouse to the open space outside, directly to the large open space specially used for aircraft testing, and then stopped quietly.

"Control Center, Control Center~"

"No. 001 is ready, No. 001, ready, request takeoff, request takeoff~"

I made a takeoff request to the control center again.

"Take off is allowed, please take off immediately."

Soon, the voice from the control command center sounded in the headset.

"Take off!" Gu Yun

Tang Qing clenched the steering wheel and gently pressed down the joystick on the right side of the steering wheel. With a slight vibration, the aircraft began to lift off slowly.

Flying height 1 meter~

Flight altitude 10 meters~

Flight altitude 100 meters~

Soon, the aircraft reached an altitude of 100 meters. Although the wind in the high altitude was not small, it was very stable under the anti-gravity engine, with only slight shaking.

"Control center, control center, No. 001 requests a low-altitude and low-speed flight mode test~"

"Tests are allowed, and relevant flights are to be carried out immediately."

After receiving the order, Tang Qing also started to control the aircraft, and with a slight step on the accelerator of his right foot, the aircraft began to fly at an altitude of 100 meters.

At the same time, relevant instructions appeared on the large central control screen, requiring Tang Qing to fly with safety-related instructions.

Tang Qing drove the aircraft to fly in the sky. The speed is not fast, that is, it is similar to the speed of a car. After reaching 25 meters per second, the speed can no longer be raised, and it is limited by the intelligent control system of the aircraft.

Flying is similar to that of a car. There is absolutely no way to compare it with the driving experience of a fighter plane. It is impossible to turn over. You can only control the direction of flight while climbing or descending. This is already the most difficult way to fly.

In fact, it is not much different from driving a car, except that one is on the road and the other is flying in the sky.

"It doesn't make any sense~"

Tang Qing flew the aircraft for more than ten minutes, and suddenly felt that it was not interesting. He was used to flying fighters, and used to various maneuvering flights of fighters. Much more driving experience.

"No. 001 requests a high-altitude and high-speed flight test~"

"Allow high-altitude and high-speed flight tests~"

Soon, Tang Qing began to apply for high-altitude high-speed testing.

Control the aircraft to continue to fly upwards, and the speed quickly reached 1000 meters.

"High-altitude and high-speed flight mode activated~"

The aircraft's intelligent control system automatically unlocks the high-altitude and high-speed flight mode.

Tang Qing was instantly energized when he heard it.

While continuing to control the climbing height, I also started to step on the accelerator. With the step of the accelerator, I could clearly feel the aircraft shake slightly. The auxiliary power system located at the upper end of both sides, the two small aero-engines started.

The orange-red tail flame began to spit out, and the familiar feeling of pushing back came, and the speed began to soar.

While Tang Qing was controlling the flight, he also looked at the speed displayed on the large screen of the central control.

30 meters per second, 35 meters per second, 40 meters per second~

"This acceleration is really slow. It's really an aircraft designed for ordinary people. This snail-like acceleration, when can it accelerate to five times the speed of sound."

Tang Qing stepped on the accelerator and was speechless. He wanted to experience the ultra-high-speed flight of the anti-gravity aircraft, but he found out that he stepped on the accelerator, but the speed was still very slow, and the feeling of acceleration was very ordinary. It's not as oppressive as driving a fighter jet to accelerate.

In fact, this is also a security protection setting.

There are two flight modes of the aircraft. One is the low-altitude and low-speed flight mode. In the area below 1,000 meters, it can only fly at low speed, and the speed is even lower than that of a car.

When its flight altitude exceeds 1,000 meters, it can switch to the high-altitude high-speed flight mode. In this mode, the auxiliary power small aero-engine can be started and enter the high-speed flight mode.

At the same time, in order to prevent the passengers from being unbearable due to overload, a lot of settings have been made in terms of acceleration and deceleration. When flying at high altitude and high speed, it can only accelerate and decelerate at a constant speed.

That is to say, although its speed can be very fast, its acceleration is limited. Even if you slam the accelerator, its speed still cannot be increased to the limit speed all at once.

It has to be accelerated step by step.

For example, after accelerating to 100 for a period of time, you can continue to accelerate to 200. The same is true for accelerating from 200 to 300. It will not let you accelerate from 100 to 100 in just a few seconds. Five times the supersonic speed.

The pressure generated by such acceleration is simply not something that ordinary people can bear. Only those pilots who have undergone long-term professional training can bear such acceleration.

Under such a terrifying acceleration, ordinary people may fall into a coma directly, or even be life-threatening.

Therefore, in terms of acceleration and deceleration, Wang Chen, Sun Zilong, and Tang Peng also spent a lot of thought. After rigorous testing, the acceleration that ordinary people can withstand is limited and must be controlled within a reasonable and safe range.

This principle is actually very well understood. If there is no phased and stepped acceleration and deceleration protection, it may only take a dozen seconds to accelerate from 0 to five times the speed of sound.

Accelerating to such a terrifying speed in such a short period of time, the resulting acceleration is very terrifying, and it will form a huge overload pressure, which will create a huge pressure on the human body. even death.

However, if it takes more than ten minutes to accelerate from 0 to five times the speed of sound, and the acceleration is accelerated in one stage and one step, then the acceleration generated in the whole process will be much smaller and much smaller. Normal people can fully bear it. It's almost like accelerating a car.

In the high altitude, Tang Qing seemed very bored to drive the aircraft to carry out various flights according to the requirements of the ground. Because the acceleration was too slow, for him as a pilot, there was no difficulty or pressure at all. , it is very easy to drive.

He even had the energy to pay attention to other aspects of the aircraft, and took a closer look at the large screen in the center control, in addition to displaying the altitude, speed and level.

There is also a display of power, fuel, and the time you can continue to fly, clearly showing how long you can fly at high speed.

Like now, because it has just taken off not long ago, the above clearly shows that the aircraft's battery can still fly for 12 hours, and the fuel can support it to fly for 10 hours.

In addition, there is a three-dimensional space map, which clearly shows that in the surrounding three-dimensional space of 10,000 meters, only this aircraft clearly shows the flight trajectory.

"You can still drive intelligently~"

Soon, Tang Qing discovered an interesting thing, this aircraft even has an automatic intelligent driving mode, which means that as long as the destination is set, you can lie down and fly over by the aircraft, as long as there is enough power and Just enough oil.

"It's really an aircraft that is thoughtfully set up for ordinary people. It's too simple and mindless, and it even requires some simple flight training."

"Popularize some relevant flight knowledge and know some flight rules and regulations. Compared with driving on the ground, it is simpler, safer and more mindless."

While flying, Tang Qing also summed up, originally thought that this would be more troublesome, in fact, scientists and engineers have already considered many problems clearly, and carried out simple and brainless designs, even you don't need to Driving, the automatic intelligent driving system will control the aircraft to fly to the destination.

Compared with driving a car, it is simple, mindless, and much more comfortable.

ps; I always feel that the more advanced the technology is, the more mindless and simple the products produced will be. Now you still need a driver's license to drive. In the future, I don't think a driver's license is needed. Basically, it's all automatic driving. What do you think? ?
