Minke's black technology

Chapter 266 The Cannon Has Been Built

Meow Star Group's special plane Feitianmao was put into use soon after it was decorated.

As the CEO of the group, Zhou Lin needs to travel all over the world for his work. He naturally occupies one of the special planes. Every time his special plane flies to a place, it will immediately become the object of everyone watching and taking pictures. After all, such a huge plane is rare. , so far there are only six such private jets in the world, and other large planes of the same type are still in service in the army.

As for the other special planes of the Meow Star Group, the monkeys are not infrequently used. They often travel around the world by plane. When they are not in use, they are also used by various departments to do team building activities. Basically, there will be every week Five or six days are flying in the sky.

On the contrary, the utilization rate of these two large planes in the laboratory is a bit low, especially Li Maoye's special plane is basically parked at the airport to eat dust, because Qin Hua and others occasionally drive the plane to go out for activities, or they just take the special plane back to the airport. My hometown pretends to be in front of my relatives, and I fly in the sky three or four days a week.

Only Li Maoye's Feitmall is used a few times a month, and it is only used when he goes home to see his parents. He usually leaves it empty at the airport and rarely uses it for other purposes.

After all, Li Maoye is a well-known housekeeper, and other people will not bother him if they have nothing important to do. Only when the National People's Congress is held, can he take a special plane and fly to the imperial capital to vote with a show of hands.

But this time Li Maoye took the Flying Cat to the place not his hometown and the imperial capital, but a snowy mountain on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. After more than a year of construction, the "Earth Cannon" there has entered the final testing stage. Now he just flies over to sit in the town Helpful.

This time it was not only Li Maoye and Xiaoju who went, but also some officers from the army and people from relevant departments. In addition, several aerospace rabbits also crowded up.

Yuhangtu came here for the space electric propulsion engine. Since the Air Force rabbit got back the design plan of the "UAV Aircraft Carrier", Yuhangtu couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to come over to ask about some research and development progress.

"Oh, space electric propulsion engine?"

Li Maoye lied without changing his face and heartbeat: "The rough design draft has been completed, but there are other more important projects in the laboratory, so it has been delayed."

Hearing these words, the astronaut rabbits were very surprised!

They mentioned this matter only as an excuse, and more importantly, to be able to take a special plane with Academician Li to reach the destination Goddess Snow Mountain Electromagnetic Railgun Base. After inspecting the operation status of the [Earth Cannon], they have to think The method is to cooperate closely with Meow Star Group.

"We'll talk about the space electric propulsion engine when we go back, let's talk about the [Earth Cannon] project!" One of the astronaut rabbits took the initiative to change the topic, trying to learn more inside information from the big boss behind the project so that he could go back and submit Report to the leadership of the space agency as a reference for decision-making.

"Actually, if you ask Academician Ma, it will be clearer. I just provided funds and technology, and I am not responsible for related work!"

Although Li Maoye claimed that he didn't understand, he actually gave a lot of opinions, which made Yuhangtu feel very rewarding, and then everyone sat and chatted together in Feitianmao's restaurant.

After all, the whole voyage lasted four to five hours, so it was impossible not to eat anything. Feitmall had everything in the kitchen, and the stewardess on the special plane had already prepared the food for them to come and enjoy.

The passengers on the plane were quickly attracted by the rich food here, and most of them stayed in the restaurant without leaving. Anyway, the environment here is extremely quiet, and it is also very suitable for discussing things while eating.

In addition to the usual hot food and drinks, there are also a lot of nuts, ice cream, biscuits and various fresh fruits in the refrigerator. If you like to drink, there are also famous wines from all over the world, among which there are the most types of wine.

It almost made people think that Li Maoye had moved the entire hotel up, and it seemed that the plane was much larger than ordinary hotels, so some people started wandering around to see how big the plane was.

After the decoration of the entire aircraft is completed, there are still about 200 tons of the 180-ton design load remaining, and the cargo plus personnel is less than 80 tons, which means that the aircraft load is only about half used.

Therefore, when the aircraft's intelligent control system pulls up the nose, it appears very relaxed, and the take-off process is extremely smooth, and the passengers in the aircraft basically do not feel the change of gravity during the period.

After all, Flying Cat is a large transport aircraft, and there are still many differences with ordinary civil aviation aircraft, but for those who are not experts in the industry, these differences are easily overlooked, but people still feel that the sound of the aircraft is very small, and the flight process and its comfortable.

The sound of the electric engine is inherently quiet, as long as the sound of the propeller agitating the air is dealt with, and the material of the fuselage has a sound-absorbing effect, so everyone's discussion of the issue during the past few hours has not been disturbed by the outside world.

The plane quickly flew to the Goddess Snow Mountain base, and then landed at the nearby airport. This airport is still a certain distance from the Snow Mountain, but a spacious asphalt road has been built, and it can reach the electromagnetic railgun base within ten minutes. .

The base is only on one of the most beautiful snow-capped mountains in the florist. The peak height of the mountain is more than 6000 meters above sea level, and it is one of the best peaks in the Gangdise Mountains.

Looking up at the snow-capped mountains from far away, you will find that the whole mountain is like a huge pyramid, the walls are very symmetrical, the whole mountain is covered with white snow, and one of the peaks has a straight natural groove, which can be used for Place the electromagnetic track.

The base of [Earth Cannon] was built at the foot of the mountain. After more than a year of construction, it has completely changed its appearance. In addition to the dormitories for employees, there is also a large control center. Academician Ma and others Right here busy preparing for the first launch test.

There is a newly built hydropower station near the base. It uses the water flowing from the snow-capped mountains into the lake to generate electricity. It is specially used to provide energy for the electromagnetic railgun. .

"Academician Li!"

As soon as Li Maoye entered the base control center, he was immediately recognized by the people inside, and then Academician Ma hurriedly led his team out to greet him.

"Academician Ma, I brought someone to watch you have sex!"

Li Maoye chuckled, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party, and the system in his body quickly entered the analysis state.

When he walked into the control center, the system had already started collecting data through the smart bracelet. As the actual owner of the project, he certainly had the account with the highest authority.

Everyone walked and chatted, and soon Li Maoye grasped the actual progress of the entire project. He came a little earlier, and the first launch will not be carried out until tomorrow.

"At present, all inspections have been completed, and we will wait for Musk to send the satellite over!" Academician Ma explained.

Li Maoye frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't the original plan to launch live ammunition into the sky to test first? Why did you launch a satellite? Isn't Musk worried that his satellite will be lost?"

Academician Ma chopped his hand in the air and said with a big smile, "Whether it's a satellite or a live ammunition, we are confident that we can launch it into the established orbit!"

Someone next to him immediately said: "Musk bought insurance for this launch, and he is now continuing to find a cheaper way to launch."

"If the launch fails, there will naturally be an insurance company to help pay for the loss."

"If the launch is successful, SpaceX's stock price will definitely soar, and it's worth Musk's gamble!"

"Haha, it seems that no matter what, it's Musk who made the money!"

But these answers are not what Li Maoye wants to know. He just wondered why he gave up the first launch to Musk, so he looked at the several aerospace rabbits around him and found that they also looked confused.

Under the sudden change of heart rate, Li Maoye quickly roughly guessed the reason!
It must be that some people in the space agency are opposed to the [Earth Cannon] plan. Of course, there are many people who support it. The Meow Star Group has caused too much pressure on people in the aerospace field. Every time the Meow Star enters a certain field, it will destroy The original ecology of this field has made many people very wary of this project.

After all, the country has invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources in the research and development of super-thrust rockets. Many people have worked hard for this for a lifetime, and they are about to reap the fruits of success. They did not expect that Cheng Yaojin, the name of the Meow Star Group, will be killed. It is estimated that no one will have it. good face.

Besides, the launch of Fat Five has been quite smooth in the past few years. If the orbital railgun is completed, super-thrust rockets like Fat Five will be useless in the future.

Because according to Academician Ma's plan, the materials are first launched to the earth space station through the electromagnetic gun, and then the people are sent up through the small rocket, and then fly to other planets from the space station.

If they all supported the [Earth Cannon] project, they would have already negotiated a cooperation with Academician Ma to launch it together, so there is no need to send a few space rabbits over to inspect the project, and then go back to consider how to cooperate.

The space rabbits quickly figured out the reason, and they suddenly seemed a little restless. Although Li Maoye did not show any abnormalities, they were still arranged to visit various departments of the launch base, especially to find a special person to introduce the composition of the entire base. And the general design plan and so on.

"Currently [Earth Cannon] Electromagnetic Orbit Launch Base has only completed the first phase of the project, which includes the launch control center, staff dormitory area, residential living area, welcome hotel building, airport, hydropower station, storage power station, super electromagnetic launch track, etc. .”

"The most critical thing is the two-kilometer super-electromagnetic launch track, which is made of a special alloy material invented by Academician Li, which can accelerate a five-ton electromagnetic rocket to the first cosmic speed in a very short time, and then Follow the established ballistic trajectory and fly to near the Earth's low-Earth orbit!"
