The aerospace aircraft displayed in the Hangar of the Flying Ant Space Center has a net height of 6.8 meters, plus the landing gear and wheels. It is nearly 10 meters high, with a wingspan of 70.3 meters, a length of 34 meters, and an empty weight of 75 tons. The take-off weight is more than 230 tons.

The fuselage and the wing are integrated. If you look from the bottom, you can see the huge bottom of the fuselage. There are 4 large ion engines, two ion engines, 6 landing gears and 24 wheels at the tail.

The design of the aircraft is very sci-fi elements, the painting is dark gray, with a metallic texture, like a Kunpeng spreading wings.

The painting on the wings, in addition to the flag of China, and the logo of the marching ant group, are extremely conspicuous.

This plane, just to manufacture it, costs nearly 20 billion Chinese coins, this gold swallowing beast is not a general terror.

Some of the assistants in the hangar were more excited than ever.

Even though they had seen such a huge plane many times, they couldn't help being excited because it was completed this time.

"finished?"

Zhao Min rushed to the hangar of the Aerospace Center and sighed when he saw the new behemoth in front of him.

This is almost the pinnacle of the industry in the world, completed by their company.This means that their company already has the world's top industrial system, far beyond this era.

"It's finished, you contact the official of Binhai City, ready to test flight, the military side, I will contact Li Chengzhi." Chen Mo said.

The test flight of this behemoth is not like a battle armor, and this is the space center. The test flight must be completed with the official registration.This is a test flight, not a joke.

"Regarding the operation of the aerospace aircraft, I asked the team to make preliminary plans."

Zhao Min handed the information to Chen Mo.

"The profit model of the space center includes space tourism, manned spaceflight, satellite launch, space transportation, space exploration, etc. If it is finalized, I will now recruit training personnel responsible for space passengers from around the world. The spacecraft is mature and acceptable. Sign up for a global space trip."

The aerospace aircraft project has invested hundreds of billions of dollars, and it certainly cannot rely on the marching ant group to keep paying money and maintain it at a loss.

As a company, making money is the goal.

So last time Chen Mo asked her to think about the profit model of the Sky Aircraft, she asked the company's planning team to start planning the profit model of the Sky Aircraft.

"pretty good."

Chen Mo scanned the planning documents and understood the general steps.

Zhao Min is the best at realizing technology, which is why Chen Mo can trust the company to her.

"We must also prepare in advance to deal with the impact of the exposure of this aircraft. If we follow the normal development, the current development speed of the earth will not be able to manufacture this aircraft in another 100 years."

Chen Mo is too aware of the technology contained in it, leading the current era of technology.

The technology, materials and manufacturing processes contained in this aircraft can advance the current industrial system for fifty years.

"What's the name of this plane? Kunpeng? Phoenix? Shenlong?" Zhao Min said.

"There are not only mythical beasts, but also immortals that can fly. It's called the Goddess."

"It sounds nice."

Zhao Min nodded in satisfaction when he heard the name.

"Would you like to get in the plane to see?"

"I can't ask for it." Zhao Min said with interest.

The two of them had just arrived under the aeroplane, and a door slowly landed on the abdomen of the plane, laying on the ground.

As soon as I entered, I saw a cabin about three meters high and four meters wide. The design was the same as the manned cabin of the space station. It was circular, slightly flat on both sides, and there were various handles on the cabin arms.

Next to the cabin, there are doors leading to other cabins.

"Different from what you imagined?"

"It really is."

What Zhao Min wanted was a spaceship in a science fiction film where people could walk freely in the cabin, but there was a big discrepancy between what he saw and what he imagined.

"There is no artificial gravity for the time being, and it is impossible to think of it as in the movie. When there is artificial gravity in the future, the spacecraft will be like in the movie. In space, there is no up and down, and there is no south, east, west or north. So the cabin can only be designed like this for the time being.

The aircraft has six main cabins, a cockpit, a central control room, an experiment cabin, a carrying cabin, a rest cabin and a living and entertainment cabin. In addition to the six main cabins, there is an emergency escape cabin and a material storage cabin."

Chen Mo began to introduce Zhao Min to the layout of the Goddess,

The space inside this plane is much larger than imagined.

"It is only the first-generation aircraft model. In the future, the conditions will be better and larger models will be manufactured."

"If this plane is used to carry passengers, how much can it carry?"

"A day trip in space, about a hundred people is no problem."

...

"Are you going to test the plane?"

Li Chengzhi received a call from Chen Mo with a look of surprise.

How long has Chen Mo's space center been established?The launch base and airport have been built so quickly, and the design and manufacture of the aircraft have been completed. Only one company in the world has such a terrible'money capability', and only Chen Mo has such a crazy courage to invest.

"Aren't you building a space center? Why did you make a plane?"

Chen Mo twitched when he heard the word engaging in airplanes.

"In aerospace and aviation, it is normal to engage in aircraft. Also, I am an aerospace aircraft, a dual-purpose aircraft, not a carrier rocket. Now that the aircraft is manufactured and ready for test flight, it needs the approval of the military and the air traffic control department. , I can submit an application, the sooner the better."

Aeroplane?

Li Chengzhi was frightened, and the marching ant group didn't fly. When it flew to the sky, the best came out.

"I will help you deal with the formalities. Knowing that you like efficiency, I can come faster." Li Chengzhi said.He also wanted to see what the plane Chen Mo produced this time was like.

"That old boy Chen Mo has something to do with you again?" Liu Jianjun asked curiously when Li Chengzhi came back.

"Something, big thing." Li Chengzhi smiled helplessly.

"tell me the story."

"His aerospace plane has been manufactured and is ready for a test flight. I am going to Binhai City."

"What plane?" Liu Jianjun wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"You heard it right. He said it is an air-sky plane, which is dual-purpose. According to our definition, it should be regarded as a sixth-generation fighter plane."

"Hey..."

Liu Jianjun almost dropped his chin in shock.

...

"Are you going to test the air-to-sky plane?" Yao Yi almost choked on his saliva, looking at Zhao Min in an incredible way.

It didn't take long for the Flying Ant Space Center to build the aircraft so quickly.

Aeroplanes are not selfie drones that ordinary people play.

What kind of horrible construction speed is this?

But thinking of the marching ant group, Yao Yi also took it for granted.

"What can I do for you?" Yao Yi said.

In Binhai City, he tried his best to give the marching ant group the greatest help. After all, Binhai City became an international metropolis under the influence of the marching ant group.

Binhai City used to have an embarrassing status as the only second-tier city among open cities. Now Binhai City’s GDP ranks in the forefront of the country, comparable to most international metropolises.

Not to mention the standard of living.

Unmanned public transportation, intelligent transportation, urban brain and holographic city have been put into use, and the standard of living is no longer what it used to be.

"Our boss didn't say that there should be no help. Just talk to the secretary, in case the test flight will bring unnecessary influence or rumors, you can know the situation in time." Zhao Min shook his head.

"Okay, one day you test the flight, tell me, if it's convenient, I want to watch it."

Yao Yi is very interested.

After living for most of his life, he has been in close contact with the space shuttle. This is an opportunity to learn about the latest developments of the Marching Ant Group by the way.

"If it goes well, it won't be long before air traffic control approves, and we can start the test flight." Zhao Min said.
