Super technology leader

Zhang Liyan: "Boss, have you finally figured it out?"

Chen Jing: "He must have been pissed off by the Peacock Space Agency's news today."

Tang Chao didn't deny this, or else he wouldn't suddenly change the order to promote the confidential "Dart X" project.

The original plan was to complete the indoor test, and was "inadvertently" taken spy photos during the outdoor test, and then uploaded on the Internet for a few days before having to make it public. After that, it was heavily propagated, and finally soared to the sky, shocking the world.

The time for this publicity plan is after the first unmanned test of the Peacock Federation manned spacecraft. After all, a lot of indoor tests will be carried out and it will take a lot of time. The Peacock Federation manned spacecraft will fly for the first time next month.

So now start the promotion in advance, plus they also read the space news, naturally they know why.

"Boss, where do we start, are we still spy photos that were accidentally taken? It's just that it's not easy to take spy photos in an indoor test. Should the staff inadvertently disclose it?" Zhang Liyan asked.

"No," Tang Chao smiled slightly, "We will fly directly for the first time!"

"what?"

This time not only Zhang Liyan was shocked, even Chen Jing was shocked, "Tang Chao, is this a bit risky? I look at the progress report and it still has 70% of the indoor tests untested. Isn't it too dangerous to rush into the first flight? "

"Although it is highly automated, it can take no humans for the first flight, but if something accident happens to it, we will still have a great loss."

Don’t look at Tang Chao’s already taking out the core technology. The Navigator’s research team only did some research on the edge technology. The rest is to produce core parts by itself and entrust other companies to produce edge parts, and then concentrate on the company for assembly. But the first aircraft plus research and development funds still cost more than 200 million US dollars.

This is the largest sum of money spent by the Navigator company so far. Before running competitions, researching and manufacturing "Chuohang" and "Yuanhang" rockets, researching and developing lunar probes, Lunar Palace II, space station compartments, etc. , Have never spent so much money alone.

Of course, it looks expensive. In fact, the cost may not be as expensive as a top-notch fighter, let alone those rockets and space shuttles that were developed from scratch, tens of billions, and the same.

Just say that the first Ace Pigeon SLS rocket cost more than 20 billion US dollars.

Even if the water is squeezed out, such as those that are not used in R&D, wasted, or swallowed, it is a huge sum of money.

Tang Chao's core technology still played a considerable role.

It also accounted for the reason for the first aircraft. The cost of the second aircraft can be reduced to 150 million U.S. dollars. After the finalization, the price can be lower.

But this is a company secret. Except for a few people, most people don't know it.

As a technician, Zhang Liyan was also shocked, but after doing calculations silently, he found that Tang Chao's "bold plan" was actually feasible, and was not too bold.

Their spacecraft manufacturing plan is really different from the past traditions. Without him, the core technology provided by the boss is so complete that it shocked him all day.

Niu batch!

In fact, as of the current progress, a large number of tests have been omitted. The tests planned to be done are for the national audit department to see, except for some peace of mind.

After all, "Dart X" is destined to become an epoch-making spacecraft.

And they not only use it themselves, but also plan to sell them to other space agencies and space companies. Then some data must be made public, and some preliminary test data are also included.

The concept of what you use is different from what you sell.

The previous spacecraft were not enough for their own use, let alone sold in large quantities like airplanes.

So now they feel a bit like crossing the river by feeling the stones, and maybe they will be touched by others in the future.

In the opinion of his chief engineer, "Dart X" can fly. He has full confidence. As for testing, he can fly back and test again.

If the boss must order "Dart X" to take off directly, he can sign a consent form.

He also wanted to see "Dart X" flying in space sooner.

Then there is no problem. As an enterprise manager, Chen Jing is not a professional engineering and technical personnel, and he is faced with the two most authoritative engineering and technical personnel in the company, and she is quickly persuaded.

Not to mention that Tang Chao is still the company's big boss. Although he doesn't care much about the company's management and operations, his decision is quite important.

"Then the propaganda plan is left to you. The propaganda date is set for the next day when the manned spacecraft of the Peacock Federation successfully landed, if they can succeed.

"..."

The boss's careful eye is terrible.

The Peacock Federation provokes no one, but it provokes the boss.

Wait for death, it's out of help!

And it is not only the Peacock Federation, its manned spacecraft has been broken into history, and it is understandable that other countries and companies with manned spaceflight capabilities have died unjustly.

There are also those who have invested in manned spaceflight, but have not yet shown results, even worse.

The title "Manned Spaceship Terminator" is not a joke.

Therefore, during the propaganda period, they should also pay attention to the huge counterattack that may come.

But I feel excited deep down, what's going on?

On Tang Chao's side, after deciding on the general publicity plan, his depression was much less.

In the past few days, he hid quietly to the Daxue Mountain. Just as his soul was sublimated by the border soldiers and the plateau environment, he saw the screaming Asan and let him sublimate.

At that time, the vehicles only drove along the highway to the bottom of the mountain. There was really no way to build the road up there. They had to get off and climb the mountain road.

In fact, there is also the test team's caravan parked at the foot of the mountain.

Fortunately, this road was built specifically for this sentry, and it stops at the end and is not afraid of blocking the road.

When they arrived, the test convoy had already begun the test mission. Many people on the communication command vehicle, command and release engineering vehicles, etc. were busy, and many testers followed the border guards equipped with the test version of the exoskeleton.

Tang Chao had watched related documentaries before and knew that the living conditions of the border guards on the snow-capped mountains of Border Pass were difficult, so he didn't come empty-handed and brought a lot of gifts.

Although the road was not directly repaired to the gate of the Daxueshan outpost, a simple ropeway was built at the end of the road and on the top of the mountain, and the things were loaded into the cargo baskets divided into oil drums, and they were transported by pressing the button.

Before the construction of the simple ropeway, the soldiers carried the supplies with their hands on their shoulders every time, and sent the supplies to the outpost on a mountain of more than 4,000 meters.

Tang Chao didn't bring any good things, just ordinary fruits and vegetables, including tropical fruits, and some specialties of Jiangkou City, which are not easy to eat here.

Most of the time on the mountain with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters is below zero. At this time, it is considered midsummer, and the temperature is above zero. It feels okay.

But in winter, the temperature here will drop to tens of degrees below zero, accompanied by endless wind and snow!

In this case, the soldiers go out every day, patrolling along the top of the mountain, up to more than 6,000 meters above sea level, to defend the border of the motherland.

The plateau border patrol route here is different from other places. Some places are pure plateaus and the terrain is relatively flat. It belongs to the Himalayas. The terrain is too rugged, and sometimes one can slide down the mountain accidentally.

It is also because their conditions are really difficult. Not only will it become a limit test point, after the test is completed, they will also have a mountain and snow version of the individual exoskeleton to assist their patrol work.

To show his respect, Tang Chao brought these gifts, and that's it, he was afraid not to bring them.

Of course, with Zhao Li following, it doesn't matter. These gifts are at most even people's support of the army.

But that's what Zhao Li's authority has. If Tang Chao pulls a few cars over, he will report it up.

Fortunately, Tang Chao didn't do that, and it didn't make him difficult.

But he was happy early.
