The Rise of Space Technology - Chapter 239
Chapter 239, Windrunner
R&D workshop of Xinghai Aerospace Industrial Base.
Several Skywalker aircraft parked quietly in the workshop, surrounded by many scientists and engineers, constantly discussing some details.
“Boss~”
“Boss~”
Seeing Liu Yuan coming, everyone quickly greeted Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan also smiled and replied, “Hello everyone, hello everyone!”
“This is the Windrunner, I think it’s more high-end and elegant than Skywalker!”
Liu Yuan looked at the Windrunner aircraft in front of him.
As a whole, it looks a bit like a diving swallow. It uses a lot of bionic technology in it, but the wings are relatively small and not so long. It looks not only full of streamlined beauty, but also has a kind of spirituality. , while full of technology, it gives you the feeling of being as light as a swallow.
The overall length is five meters, three meters wide, and two meters high. It still inherits the compactness and convenience of a private anti-gravity aircraft. It can be parked at will in the front and rear gardens without taking up too much space.
“Haha, it does look more high-end and atmospheric than Skywalker. Of course, this is also because our team has been constantly tempered, and the things designed are getting more and more perfect.”
“We will also upgrade the Skywalker aircraft in the future, continue to improve it, and always maintain its status as the king.”
Wang Chen smiled and nodded.
Xinghai Technology’s design researchers are now more and more experienced. The designed products not only need to consider the function and safety of the product, but now they can also take into account the appearance of the high-end atmosphere.
“Boss, this Windrunner aircraft, like the Skywalker, uses a hybrid dual-power system, equipped with 1 anti-gravity engine and 2 small jet engines.”
“The maximum speed can reach Mach 5. It also adopts a dual flight mode, and also has an automatic and intelligent flight and driving mode.”
Wang Chen began to introduce many parameters of the Windrunner aircraft to Liu Yuan in detail. Basically, it is not much different from Skywalker. Perhaps the only difference is the appearance, and the functions in other aspects are still the same. .
“This is similar to Skywalker. As soon as this Windrunner comes out, Skywalker may not be able to sell it.”
Liu Yuan listened carefully, thought about it, and said.
“It is exactly the same as Skywalker in many ways, and we will upgrade Skywalker later to increase its speed to Mach 7.”
Wang Chen nodded and said.
Marketing is a very deep knowledge. If Xinghai Technology wants to occupy the mid-to-high-end market, it must work hard. It is impossible to say that the Windrunner aircraft will sell the Skywalker aircraft. Still have to maintain its king status.
In the planning of Xinghai Technology, Skywalker is naturally the top-level aircraft, the king of aircraft, not only because of its 200 million price, but also in many other aspects to reflect the value and status of Skywalker.
The Windrunner aircraft is second only to Skywalker, and it belongs to the second-class aircraft, and its price is at the level of tens of millions.
The price of this level is still very expensive, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. It is also affordable for the rich. Naturally, it must reflect its value in many aspects.
In the planning, there are third-grade and fourth-grade aircraft. The third-grade aircraft is at the level of one million, and the third-grade aircraft is at the level of 500,000 to 1 million.
As for the aircraft below 500,000, Xinghai Technology is not going to participate, but let other car companies compete.
Xinghai Technology only earns the price of anti-gravity engines and small aero engines, just like chips, this is the core, and the rest are not worth the chip.
Four grades of aircraft, Xinghai Technology has also set the launch time.
The Skywalker was first launched, followed by the Windrunner, and then the third and fourth-grade aircraft, which were launched together. This requires the production line to be built, the relevant engineers and supporting facilities to be completed, and mass production is possible. , will be launched.
This is actually after detailed research and calculation. The sales volume of mid-to-high-end cars in the world is about 5 million a year, and it is also the most profitable part of global car sales.
It is enough to firmly control this market in your own hands. As for the ordinary aircraft market, the output is high, but the profit is low, so it is still left to these car companies in the fruit to eat.
Of course, now because of the production capacity, at the beginning, there must be a lot of money.
The world needs nearly 80 million cars a year. If all are replaced by aircraft, it means that we will produce 80 million aircraft a year.
What is this concept? Maybe the entire Guojia family needs more than 100 million people to engage in this industry, which is why the aircraft manufacturing industry is highly valued.
If hundreds of millions of people are engaged in the pilot manufacturing industry, the economic value, labor value and social value that it can generate will be immeasurable.
Economically speaking, 80 million aircraft are produced a year, even if one aircraft is calculated at 200,000, this is an economic output value of 16 trillion. If you count the supporting industries and related enterprises, you can count it several times. , which is an economy of tens of trillions of dollars.
In terms of labor value, aircraft manufacturing is a high-tech and high-tech field, far from being comparable to the production of shoes, socks, clothes, and screws. The income of employees is at least comparable to that of Germany in automobile manufacturing. More than 300,000 fruit coins, per capita income of more than 200,000 fruit coins.
Once there are more than 100 million people, and the per capita income of just the aircraft manufacturing industry exceeds 200,000 fruit coins, that is a very remarkable thing.
The entire Guojia has a population of only 1.4 billion, and the working population is about 800 million. One-eighth of the working population is engaged in aircraft manufacturing. Together with other industries and industries, it is very easy to enter the high-income development. the ranks of the country.
Of course, in a short period of time, it is impossible to say how many aircraft can be produced, but as long as the core anti-gravity technology is in the hands of Xinghai Technology, the cake in this industry will always be what we eat, take your time , with our strong manufacturing.
Coupled with sufficient profit support, it is estimated that in five or six years, it will be no problem to easily eat the entire aircraft to make a big cake.
“Hmm~”
“How is our anti-gravity engine and aero engine production line going?”
Liu Yuan nodded, thought about it and asked about the core anti-gravity engine and aero engine production line.
“We are about to complete the first anti-gravity engine production line. At that time, the production capacity of our small private anti-gravity engine can easily reach the order of one million per year.”
“The production line of aero-engines has been completed, and the annual output can reach the order of one million, which is enough to meet our own needs in a short period of time.”
“The production lines of anti-gravity engines and aero-engines for other car companies may not be put into production until April or May of next year. At that time, multiple production lines will be put into production at the same time, and the annual output can reach tens of millions.”
Tang Peng immediately reported to Liu Yuan in detail.
Now Xinghai Technology is the busiest thing about this. It has established production lines in many places in Quanguo, some of which produce aircraft, some specialize in the production of anti-gravity engines, and some produce aircraft engines.
For these things, Tang Peng now has to run around the country almost every day. Fortunately, he has an aircraft. Otherwise, if he takes a plane or a high-speed rail, people will go crazy.
“April or May?”
“Alright, if it was earlier, Pharaoh and the others would call me every day to urge me to ask for the goods.”
When Liu Yuan heard it, he silently wrote it down. In April and May, the time was earlier than he expected.
In Liu Yuan’s plan, he plans to provide anti-gravity engines and aero engines to major car companies in the second half of next year. Next year is the year when Xinghai Technology will launch its own mid-range aircraft.
But since it can be put into production earlier, you can also change your own slightly.
“Our Freelander aircraft and Sunwalker aircraft must hurry up and try to launch all of them to the market in the first half of next year.”
Liu Yuan also warned after thinking about it.
“Boss, we have no problem at all in R&D, but in production, we may not be able to keep up.”
Wang Chen thought for a while and said, “We have plenty of experience in aircraft production and development. To be honest, we may only need a month to develop a new aircraft.”
“The core power technology is the key, the others are secondary and not difficult.”
“Boss, there is absolutely no problem with the production side. After the first production line is completed, we have enough experience, and the construction of subsequent production lines can be faster, and we are now starting to build multiple production lines at the same time. delaying the company’s plans.”
After thinking about it, Tang Peng hurriedly assured that he was inexperienced at the beginning, and he needed to design and build slowly. After this is the first time, he will be familiar with the road in the future, and the speed is faster than the first production line. many times.
“Well, that’s fine, everything went according to plan.”
“Windrunner has conducted a series of tests in the past few days and launched it to the market before the Chinese New Year.”
After listening, Liu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the Windrunner in front of him and said.
“There is no problem at all, and you can use Skywalker’s production line. If you work overtime before the new year, you can produce one or two thousand aircraft.”
PS: Thank you for the reward from the leader who sits and watches the big boss~~ The boss is mighty and domineering, the boss makes a lot of money, the boss is beautiful, woohoo~ I am in pain and happy!
