During the meeting of the Administration, Luo Jia decided to start the Starship Team to create an atmospheric traffic plan.

The Starship Team Code-named No. 2 is part of Star Technology's entire space program. When the space station and space elevator are completed, the next step is the moon base, which requires large galaxies to transport vehicles to complete tasks such as earth-moon round trips, transporting personnel and minerals, and exploring further to deep space.

The Starship team has been preparing for long-distance movements between galaxies, and has slightly transformed this galaxy transportation tool and invested in the operation of the earth. There is no problem, and there is even a suspicion of being useless. After all, the construction standards of starships are obviously higher than those of ordinary aircraft.

Swish ~

A special plane with the Star Technology rotating Galaxy badge landed in the wind. This is Bayannur, a city hanging alone on the grassland outside the border, and it is also the residence of the Starship team.

The helicopter sent Luo Jia to the research institute in the open area outside the outer city. This place and Jiuquan are the largest research centers of Xingchen Technology. The steel structure roof stretches for several kilometers, and under the gray roof, they plan and produce unknown huge steel monsters.

Luo Jia, who walked off the plane, met Bu Mobei, the person in charge. This straightforward northwestern man, turned red and black because he was often exposed to ultraviolet rays. The company's researchers were generally very otakus, with most young faces. Dr. Bu was very conspicuous in the crowd and looked very old.

Bu Mobei is only twenty-nine years old, and he is not married yet. However, everyone thinks that Teacher Bu's child must have herd sheep. If you give him a white towel tied to his forehead, then take a pipe and squat into the sun in the corner of the wall, it will be like the image of an old farmer in northern Shaanxi in the book.

"1969 was a special year for the world's aviation industry, because in this year, major aviation powers simultaneously launched the development of new generation fighter jets, including the former Soviet Union's Soviet 17 and MiG27, North American F14, European storm, etc."

Bu Mobei adhered to the good habit of a straight steel man, without saying nonsense, or even saying hello to Luo Jia, and directly took Luo Jia under the huge steel roof. At the same time, he said in a very quick tone: "In addition, the Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighter independently developed by the UK was also successfully put into service in 1969."

"Compared with other fixed-wing aircraft, vertical take-off and landing fighter jets do not require airport runways, which fundamentally changes the contradiction between high and low speed flights. The maneuverability and combat capabilities are also quite good, which is an important milestone in the history of aviation development."

"Many people have heard of Harrier fighter jets, but few people know that in August 1969, my country also began the secret research and development of vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, code-named Mission No. 4, and was undertaken by Shenyang Institute 601."

Luo Jia nodded gently. There are many people in the company who are professional in aerospace, but there are only ones who are completely obsessed with this career like Bu Mobei. He is the living encyclopedia of aerospace.

"What happened later?" Luo Jia asked.

"If you lose, you will lose all the money." Bu Mobeixin sighed unwillingly: "After all, at that time, we didn't even have a special titanium metal that is resistant to high temperatures, and there was no way to talk about the high lift engine needed for vertical take-off and landing."

"Since then, we have given up the development of vertical take-off and landing fighter jets. Until today, the number of vertical take-off and landing fighter jets in our country is still zero."

Luo Jia smiled and said, "Lao Bu, I didn't say I wanted to build a fighter plane. Our target is a civil aircraft."

Bu Mobei nodded slightly, "I know, but I just can't help but sigh. I remember that back then, my teacher was a member of the No. 4 task force, responsible for the calculation of the responsibilities. He often recalled the past in front of me. You may think that his past must be very exciting, as magnificent as epic? But it didn't."

"The thing that the teacher recalled the most was that he was very poor back then, without tools, and hit the wings with a hammer head. He was very hungry every day. He hoped that the cafeteria could make pork stewed with vermicelli, and hoped that he could eat white noodles. Eating too much stick noodles and steamed buns would easily cause stomach problems."

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Luo Jia asked.

Bu Mobei said lightly: "It's nothing. After receiving your call, I couldn't help but remember the teacher's words. Vertical take-off and landing is a good thing. It can solve many problems and can also be used to show off. The teacher was unable to knock out the vertical take-off and landing aircraft with a hammer head. Today, let me be a student and do it for him."

Luo Jia frowned, "What do you mean when you said you can still show off?"

Bu Mobei rolled his eyes, "You told me on the phone that this project is air bus, a new product of the automobile system, and it is also a cooperation with the three major automobile factories when it is put into production."

"Then you set several standards, including vertical take-off and landing, cruising with Mach 3,000 meter, and various active and passive safety systems. You said yourself, are there any buses with a cruise speed of Mach 3,000 meter in the world?"

"The standard you set is better than the world's most advanced reconnaissance fighter jet, SR-71 Blackbird, but its name is Xingchen Bus. What can it be if this is not a show-off? Other people's top aircraft is not as good as our bus, which is really outrageous."

Pooh ~

The researchers around couldn't help laughing.

Luo Jia was preparing to get a big guy who surpassed the Blackbird reconnaissance plane, and then claimed it was a bus, and did not apply to the European and North American Aviation Administration, and directly sold it all over the world in the name of a bus.

If Star Technology really does this, it will definitely drive Western aviation industry crazy.

Further, if Luo Jia is unhappy one day and sells this super air bus to an anti-American organization, they can directly break the North American air defense chain and break into the inland with a little modification. In that case, the whole United States will probably have to live a life of fear, and they will hate Luo Jia.

"I have this plan." Luo Jia said bluntly: "You have been in Inner Mongolia and don't know the outside world. The struggle has gradually become fierce. The two major air traffic control agencies in Europe and North America are very insidious. On the one hand, they promise to issue airworthiness certificates, while on the other hand, they are delaying time and forcing COMAC to do various tests."

"Then why don't you get rid of them!" Bu Mobei said heartbrokenly: "Don't do each other, at worst we can do it alone!"

Luo Jia shrugged, "It has been so long and invested so much money and resources. Large aircraft projects can not be withdrawn casually. Selling our planes to the world is the dream of COMAC people for many years. It is because the West seized this point that COMAC Group was in a dilemma."

"When I went to COMAC a few days ago, I happened to meet an official from the European and North American Air Control Bureau. According to my observations, the future may be very unoptimistic. Although I also think that a community with a shared future for mankind is a great plan, the facts always tell us so ruthlessly that if we are not my race, our hearts will be different."

While chatting, the two walked into the huge factory. The main product being manufactured here was the space dock.

Due to gravity, Star Technology will not assemble starships on the ground, but will build a space dock on the Zero Space Station, sending the manufactured parts to synchronous orbits through an elevator, and then combining the starships in the space dock.

The space dock adopts a modular design and is still relatively scattered. It is a pile of parts. Only after all the components can you appreciate its unique charm. There are three space docks planned in total, two small and medium-sized docks are close to completion, and the design of the large dock has been finalized and is waiting to be put into production.

"The space dock and starship can be built, so there is no problem with flying buses, right?" Luo Jia asked with a smile. He thought the name of the flying bus is good. Compared with the air saucer in the atmosphere, flying buses have more pretentious attributes.

Bu Mobei nodded, "No problem, the starship requires the ability to enter and exit the atmosphere. After all, we have to park and leave when we drive the starship to another planet."

"Now the company requires vertical take-off and landing in the atmosphere, which is actually a simplified version of the starship, remove the space navigation part, reduce weight, increase passenger space, replace ion propulsion with ultrasonic turbine thrusters, etc."

"In fact, after receiving the notice the day before yesterday, I brought people to modify a regional subsonic passenger aircraft overnight, and the result was very smooth. Considering the technical capabilities of the three major automobile factories, it is not difficult for them to complete the manufacturing tasks of regional passenger aircraft and short-distance passenger aircraft, but we may have to build the main passenger aircraft with a three-mach speed."

The so-called branch passenger aircraft means passenger aircraft in the province, which sends passengers from various prefecture-level cities to central cities, and then connects them with supersonic main passenger aircraft to a central city. This forms a well-connected domestic transportation network.

As for short-distance passenger planes, they are used to connect districts and counties. They use low-altitude flights, which take 30 kilometers to arrive in two minutes. Short-distance passenger planes do not need to build airports or stations. They can be parked as long as there is a piece of cement floor, which is very flexible and convenient.

Transportation is like the blood vessels of the human body, and both arteries and capillaries are indispensable. After some discussion, the bosses of the three major automobile factories received a call from Luo Jia. Luo Jia warmly invited them to Inner Mongolia to see the new "bus" of Xingchen Technology.
