Chapter 470

Just as Professor Dai had finished speaking, old Qin shook his head and said: "No! Professor Dai, we think it's worth it. After all, once there is an aerospace plane capable of carrying astronauts to space, to the space station and to put astronauts back, we can use an aerospace plane with higher safety instead of a rocket with a higher risk factor.

Although our rocket is the strongest in the world in terms of safety, we can't guarantee the absolute safety of rocket launch.

The aerospace plane is different. Apart from others, it is only your aerospace technology that developed the aerospace plane. Up to now, the total flight range of all test flight projects of the three prototypes has been very huge. Even according to my personal estimation, it is at least 2 million kilometers!

But even so, there are no problems with these aerospace aircraft of Tiangong technology. Even some small problems have not been found. Even the problems found are insignificant problems, which have no impact on the safety of the aircraft.

Therefore, in the process of building the space station, such as transporting the core module and various modules into space, we can use rockets. After all, these are only equipment. Even if there is an accident, it will only damage some equipment and money at most.

However, once there is a problem for astronauts in the process of manned spaceflight, the problem will be different. Therefore, we would rather sacrifice the carrying capacity of the aircraft to achieve the purpose of enabling the space shuttle to send astronauts to the space station, rather than allowing astronauts to take rockets with greater risk and worse comfort.

Most importantly, although your Tiangong technology has launched an aerospace aircraft with larger volume and higher flight altitude, I don't think even your Tiangong technology itself knows when it can successfully develop and test fly, but we can't wait. After all, our space station, at this time, the second segment, has been launched into the sky and has been connected with the nuclear power plant The docking of the heart chamber was successful.

Then, the third core module will also be launched in the near future. Once the third module is successfully launched, successfully docked with it and sent the astronauts to heaven, it will establish what must be done.

Because the next construction of the space station requires personnel inside the space station, such as the reinforcement of the space station. "

After listening to Qin Lao's words, Professor Dai would have said that their Tiangong technology has reached a considerable stage in the design of the phoenix-2 series, and even is about to be completed as a whole. At that time, their first aircraft of the phoenix-2 series, that is, the ultra high speed aircraft in the atmosphere, can be manufactured and tested.

But he suddenly stopped. After all, even if the aircraft was successfully manufactured and tested, it was just an aircraft in the atmosphere. It would take at least two months to transform the aircraft into an aerospace aircraft.

So he knew that they couldn't wait so long.

However, Professor Dai misunderstood the meaning of Qin and others. After all, if Professor Dai could clearly tell Qin and others that as long as they waited for two or three months, Tiangong technology could successfully develop and manufacture phoenix-kt2 aerospace aircraft, Qin and others would never say so.

Because for the construction time of the whole space station that will last more than five years, two or three months is nothing at all, so old Qin and they are absolutely willing to wait another two or three months.

After all, in the minds of Qin and others, even if Tiangong technology has started the research and development of phoenix-2 series, it will take at least three or five years to wait until phoenix-2 series aerospace aircraft come out. They can't wait for such a long time.

Of course, Professor Dai is also very clear, that is, even if he now told old Qin and others that their Tiangong technology can develop and issue phoenix-2 series aerospace aircraft within two or three months, old Qin will not believe it.

After all, phoenix-2 series is not - 1 series. The maximum takeoff weight of - 1 series is only about 100 tons, and its size is only the size of ordinary regional airliners.

However, the - 2 series is different. According to the leak of someone from Tiangong technology before, the maximum takeoff weight of - 2 series will reach more than 255 tons, especially the takeoff weight of - 2 series aerospace aircraft will reach more than 300 tons, and its size will reach the size of large and small passenger aircraft, that is, 747.

For such a huge aircraft, Qin and others will never believe that Tiangong technology can be developed and manufactured in two or three months, and it has to be modified to produce an empty space version.

Of course, if Professor Dai was not the core spacecraft designer of Tiangong technology, and if Professor Dai did not have a good understanding of Tiangong technology, he would never believe in Tiangong technology and could develop phoenix-2 series aircraft in such a short time.

Of course, there is no difficulty for Professor Dai to raise the flight altitude of Phoenix kt1 aerospace aircraft to 400 km orbital altitude. As long as the fuel tank of the aircraft is modified to some extent, of course, the premise is that the safety and reliability of the aircraft cannot be sacrificed.

So he nodded and said, "old Qin, we Tiangong technology can do these conditions you put forward, and in terms of carrying capacity, it can also be maintained at about three to four tons."

"OK, very good. I don't know how long it will take you Tiangong technology to modify the aircraft. After all, we're still waiting to use it." Qin asked again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin! It doesn't take long for us Tiangong technology to modify the aircraft. If you can determine it now, we can complete the transformation and deliver about six improved Phoenix kt1 aerospace aircraft within one month." Professor Dai thought for a moment and said.

After listening to Professor Dai, Wang Bin nodded and said he had absolutely no problem.

"That's great. At the same time, we also determine that we need to modify the original phoenix-kt1 aerospace aircraft. We will place the exact order with your company later.

Of course, this is only the order of our Aerospace Department. As for other official orders, such as president Qiu's order, we still can't decide. The specific depends on how President Qiu arranges them. "Qin said happily.

"Professor Dai! We need this order. Do you think it's ok? The original model is also the Phoenix kt1 aerospace aircraft. We keep half of the order, and the other half is changed to the improved Phoenix kt1." President Qiu said immediately.

"No problem at all! I think it's good. The original model will be produced in the old factory.

Although the output of the old factory is smaller, and it can only produce one unit at most every month, it is enough to complete this half in a year, that is, the order of more than ten units. On the side of the new desert Industrial Zone, it is better to produce improved models. After all, the order of improved models is relatively large! "Said Wang Bin.

"Yes! This is arranged by Mr. Wang himself. We just need to get the plane we need." Mr. Qiu nodded and said.
