“I wish I had a girlfriend who was sick now.

Where do you go on a date? ”

“Well, I just... sometimes meet in front of school, and I eat Odeng, and I eat fried rice.

Or you can go to your mom's restaurant and have dinner with her.

It's the best time to go to a PC room and roll into a duo with your girlfriend. My girlfriend is also silver. ”

“Oh, that would be fun.

I'm not good at games. ”

But at that age, when I wear uniform, it's the most footy time.

It's a good time to just meet together.

In middle school, in a way, the golden age of a student.

You don't have to suffer as much as you did in Godding. Gangnam may be different.

Hope was somewhat jealous of such a ward.

“Yes, I'll shoot something delicious when I get to Seoul.

By the way, what about the GPS system? ”

“I've tested it on planes and ships, and I don't see any problems yet. ”

I finished pulling the airship out of the building when I was talking to the troops like this.

As a lesson from the last accident, we mobilized 10 large leckers to secure them on the ground.

Hope, sickness, and factory staff and engineers looking at the airship are new.

Unlike mass-produced products, the finished product that is produced with such a long period of time is highly rewarding and impressive.

Associates in the field of piping systems working on the connecting area of the airway sac,

Wiring personnel with over 20 kilometers of electrical piping,

employees who sew and assemble the envelope,

Engine parts personnel, assembly of electronic equipment control units,

Engineers and craftsmen who agreed to work on the graffiti skeleton,

Everyone did their best to complete this airship.

At this moment, everyone is the main player in this airship takeoff event.

Hope gave a brief greeting in the factory outdoor airship cycle.

“I would like to thank all the employees and associates and engineers who worked to build Prototype 1 here at the Four Thousand Mills.

Then we will proceed with the take-off event with peace of mind.

Everyone, please enjoy the event as a shining star today. ”

“Waaaaaah ~ ~”

Come on, come on, come on.

As it was not an external public event, it was followed by the event by Hope, the operator of the local government center in Seongwoo.

Hope toured the factory staff before the takeoff of the aircraft.

I see a lot of older employees here, too, with a fairly high proportion of skilled workers.

“Factory, there are more older employees than younger employees.

Wouldn't it be a little uncomfortable for a one-room dormitory to be away from its family? ”

“Mr. Hope, I've been thinking about building an employee apartment,

There are probably a lot of people living in Busan or Changwon. ”

“Well... once you have an equity problem with young employees, but you have family members, make some plans to get housing allowances and a portion of your housing funding to get interest-free in-house loans.

Well, employees who want to live in dormitories go that way.

If there's nothing else, we'll coordinate and approve. ”

I like the factory mill to be half-colored in words of hope.

It seems that the factory is local, so I liked it.

“If you do that at headquarters, it will be a great help to the efficiency or morale of our employees.

I didn't think of it that way, but I couldn't say it because I had a lot of equity issues elsewhere. ”

“No, all the other factories have that kind of support."

I felt very happy to be able to provide welfare-related support during my visit to the local factory without any hope.

I hear the voice of the ground control center.

“This is the geodetic center team. Starting now, we'll start the engine test." 3,2,1 Ignition.

Diddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddhh

The ticking distance of the high voltage starter to generate the ion plasma is measured after the electric shock sound is heard.

The aircraft engines finally ignited.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

As with jet engines, the electric shock noise of the starter is similar, but there is little noise after start-up.

The difference in engine noise is between pole and pole, as much as the difference between HR1 and HGD1 with little noise using a 12-cylinder spontaneous intake engine.

However, the output is not very low because the sound is small.

Ultra high performance ion propulsion engine with 650 horsepower output.

Unlike a structure in which a turbofan sucks air and combusts the sucked air at the rear of a jet engine to obtain propulsion, an ion engine is a particle propulsion system.

Of course, jet engines of the same weight have superior output than ion engines.

An ion propulsion engine emitting bright white light emits plasma ions by spraying white light onto the ground just before adjusting the vector direction for takeoff.

After confirming that all six engines mounted on the aircraft are free of anomalies, the ground control center enters the following procedure.

“I will enter the bladder test.

Adjust the air bag pressure bell from 95% to 92%. ”

Suddenly a strong wind blows off the shore, slowly reducing the internal pressure of the bladder to test.

Ion propulsion engines make vector shifts and increase output to secure the aircraft.

It is fixed as a winch, but looks very stable even in the winds, unlike the type B that caused the accident.

“The air bag test has been completed.

We will now proceed with the takeoff procedure.

Engine Vector Adjustment ”

Woooooo!

Although the output of the ion engine is higher, there is no way to verify that only weak electronic noise has hovered around the output.

However, I only know that the light emitted by the engine has become more intense due to the visual effect.

The aircraft, which had risen to an altitude of 15 metres, released the rope tied to the winch.

The aircraft slowly reduced the weight of the air sac and began to rise with the help of an ion engine.

A huge airship slowly rises up and rises toward the sky.

“Waaaaaaaaah!”

Elasticity erupts in unison from the ground, where there was only a murmur.

The appearance of a deformed airship flying towards the sky makes it look like the space warship we saw in the SF movie.

A dark grey spacecraft that emits six white lights and begins to slowly ascend into the sky.

Citizens of four thousand towns along the road also stopped for a while.

And I fixed my eyes on the airship for a while.

“Hope, that's beautiful and magnificent.

I'm proud to see this magnificent takeoff scene as a factory. ”

“Yes, mill. Every time I look at it, it's amazing.

It means that such a large structure flies through the sky.

even though it's an airship. ”

Hope saw an airship resembling a spaceship and a desire to fly it higher.

The only way to float a giant 262-metre structure in the sky is with helium gas and air bags.

Only 20 kilometers from the ground can be lifted.

Earth orbit at least 400 to 1500 kilometres above ground level,

Or dreaming of a spaceship going off Earth orbit to the moon or Mars is now a fantasy.

However, the six bright lights emanating from the airship suggest a solution for the future.

Such hope brought out words to confirm the idea of a distant future to the factory.

“If that bright ionic propulsion engine develops higher in front of the factory...

At that point, the spacecraft could actually go out of orbit. ”

“Yes, probably.

because the speed at which science develops is terribly fast.

One thing is certain: where you build those spaceships, Navis will be faster than NASA in the United States.

But when a spaceship is developed, will it be time to build a spaceship instead of an airship in a four-thousand factory? ”

“Yes, such a future must come.

unless the Earth is destroyed. ”

Hope was convinced of such a future where four thousand spaceships were built at the factory.

In the decades to come, there will be an embroidery day for just a few spaceships with tens of thousands of powerful ion propulsion engines instead of the current aircraft.

Hope is not a future prophet, but I became convinced of that by participating in the XHR1, XHR2 and Windscreen projects.

“I may have retired by then, but I really miss you. ”

“Hahaha. Aren't you going too far ahead?

There's a lot of airships right now. ”

The hope was that such a powerful ion propulsion engine would become practical for spacecraft in the distant future decades to come.

However, we did not know at this time that ion propulsion engines would be used for a completely different purpose than we had anticipated in the very near future.

The aircraft was safely seated at 69,000 feet above the target.

It is a little over 21 kilometres from the ground.

“Finally, the third prototype of the Windshield Airship is safely seated in stationary orbit. ”

“Well done, all of you here at the Ground Control Center. ”

“Waaaaah!”

Let's go, let's go!

“We did it! We did it! ”

The officials of the Four Thousand Factory are all thrilled at the flight ship cycle.

Finally, the third prototype No. 1 was successfully tested and safely seated in orbit.

It is an airship that is more than 21 kilometres from the ground, whether due to cloudless weather or not, but it is very visible because of its creek.

In the future, the second and third aircraft will come out of Muan Airport's aircraft manufacturing window a week later, and the third factory in Changwon will also come out with the fourth, but the surveillance of employees looking at such aircraft is not new.

“Now that we're done testing the aircraft, let's have lunch together. Mr. Hope."

“Do you think so? I would love to have dinner with the staff here. ”

“Then let's go to the canteen. I finally got a place in the restaurant to celebrate stage one production. ”

Hope settled in the restaurant following the mill's instructions.

Meals were very generous with seafood and bandits, such as Hanwoo ribs and fresh fish.

Hope sat side by side with the factory, the militia, and the executives of the joint venture to eat together.

The staff encountered in the restaurant is very lively and full of laughter.

The atmosphere of the factory employees is not only this bright.

That's how much the factory seemed to care about its employees.

He secretly felt his responsibility in the hope of overseeing the windmill project as a leading company.

“The atmosphere of this factory or restaurant is very lively and nice. ”

“It seems like a big part of the company's people are working with hope.

If you look at the shipbuilding and mechanical equipment companies in the vicinity of four thousand, you have a lot of difficulty with the recent unit price competition with China.

Oh, excuse me. I wasn't talking about Hope, I was talking about Hope. ”

“Ah, hahaha, sometimes people make fun of me like that.

I always take pleasure in it. ”

“Yes, hahahaha.

Anyway, as you can see here, our company has a bright growth prospect.

So we're relatively less concerned about the future. ”

“Well, that's a big part of it.

because stratospheric aircraft have a lot of margin left.

In addition to stratospheric communications, the outlook is fairly bright in the long run for other uses, such as freight and cruise. ”

Now the hope of showing the face of the expert even better expressed his opinions.

“It seems like a good company is welcoming and the atmosphere of the factory staff is vibrant.

It wasn't that much of a company I used to work for.

This is all thanks to Mr. Hope, so I will continue to ask you well. ”

“Yes, of course you do. Then I will continue to ask you to build your airship without further ado. ”

Hope spent the day in Gyeongnam after sharing that meal with a company in a bottle in Busan.

And the next morning Hope headed to Feud to test the XHR2 prototype.
