During the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhou Yan's aunts and uncle gathered at his grandma's house. Although his second aunt and Feng Jun were missing, the surprise brought by his nephew was double.
As for Zhou Yan, he set off before dawn and went to his father-in-law's house in Qing'an, had lunch, and then rushed to his grandma's house.
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.
In the evening, Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu had dinner at their parents' place, a rice dumpling set meal.
Grandma’s family made a lot of rice dumplings, so every family’s dinner naturally included rice dumplings.
When she got home in the evening, Qin Ruoshu sat on the sofa and admired the Dragon Boat Festival gift-the colorful rope.
"Still pretty, I have to go to work tomorrow!"
"I don't want to go to work!" Qin Ruoshu pouted, her face full of grievances.
"I think you're being wild," Zhou Yan was a little helpless and thought for a moment, "Hurry up and finish the task after work. I'll take you to the grassland later!"
"real?"
"Then there's still a lie?!"
The big pie is in front, and the holiday syndrome has been successfully eliminated.
After working diligently for two days and completing the progress, Qin Ruoshu followed Zhou Yan on the plane to Yunzhong on the fourth day after the Dragon Boat Festival.
After leaving the airport, the driver had arrived early and took the two of them to Qingyan Airlines' factory in the western suburbs of Yunzhong.
"Lao Zhou, I remember there is a flight test base in Shaanxi, right?"
"Yan Liang," Zhou Yan nodded with a wry smile, "Whether it is production or test flight, I want to put it in Yan Liang. After all, clustering can reduce production costs, but the place we want is too big, and the production is put in the cloud.
Here, there is an advantage..."
"What's the benefit?"
"You can choose any land you want, and it's cheap. It's possible to make it as big or small as you want..."
At this time, Qin Ruoshu suddenly remembered what he saw when he was playing in Yunzhong a few years ago: "There are also wastelands in saline-alkali land?"
"What about the test flight?" Although Qin Ruoshu is not a practitioner, Qin Ruoshu also knows that aircraft test flights need to avoid routes.
"Is there any place with fewer routes than here? As for the Hulunbuir we selected, there may not be a plane for several days..."
In fact, in addition to Yunzhong and Hulunbuir, Qingyan Group also has a flight test base in Yunzhong, located in the hinterland of the Tengger Desert.
The base in the hinterland of the Tengger Desert is mainly used to test the reliability of aircraft in the face of windy and sandy conditions. And when the three bases are connected, it is enough to test the drone's range of five to six thousand kilometers.
Qin Ruoshu originally thought that the factory area of Qingyan Airlines would be like the desert border city he had seen. Looking up, his eyes were filled with desolation.
But when we arrived at the place, we discovered that this was an ecological factory area that had only been proposed in recent years. The hardened roads were lined with lush greenery, with names that Qin Ruoshu couldn't name.
"What's that?"
"Populus euphratica!"
"that!"
"Shaliu..."
The remaining Qin Ruoshu didn't ask any more questions. After all, he was also a graduate student majoring in landscape architecture and had some knowledge of desert control plants.
The factory area is so big that after the car entered the gate, it took another half an hour to drive before seeing the office building.
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, why did you bring in your family's key protection target? Mr. Qin, please sit down..."
"Okay, don't be polite, hurry up..."
"Everyone is here, let me introduce the situation..." Xu Chongsheng opened his notebook, "Right now, the airline's focus is on two drones.
The first mid-range and long-range surveillance and combat drone, the company's internal code is QHWCD-01. The 1MW turboprop engine equipped with the drone has passed various tests, and the performance parameters fully meet the design requirements, and the thrust and fuel economy ratio
Design indicators have been slightly improved.
The matching airframe, avionics, and ground control systems have completed testing and will soon enter final assembly.
The second model, the unmanned strategic reconnaissance aircraft, code-named QHWZ-01, has completed production testing of the fuselage, avionics and ground. The matching turbofan engine is currently being tested at AVIC because we lack a test bench. It is estimated that there will be another
It takes months to complete the test.
That’s the main situation, is there anything else that needs to be added?”
The engineer in charge of the control system smiled and raised his hand: "Mr. Xu, currently, the control system of the drone is mainly integrated into the six 8X8 full-body chassis provided by Mr. Zhou. Since we plan to sell food, do we have to
Consider the subsequent load-carrying issues..."
"This..." Xu Chongsheng looked back at Zhou Yan.
"We can have this," Zhou Yan thought for a while, "If we have ready-made data, we can go back and ask Chu Xinyang to convert the drawings and put them into production..."
"Do you have any other questions?"
"Gone!"
"Then..." Xu Chongsheng thought for a while and looked at Zhou Yan, "Mr. Zhou, let's go see the pre-assembly of the aircraft?"
Commuting within the aircraft assembly plant mainly relies on electric vehicles produced by Zhengxin. The parking lots in the production workshops and offices serve as both parking lots and charging piles.
This was the first time Qin Ruoshu saw a pure electric car. After getting in the car, he curiously looked at the car's interior and layout: "Except for the larger display screen, this is no different from an ordinary car!"
After Zhou Yan stepped on the accelerator, Qin Ruoshu realized the difference between a pure electric engine and a gasoline engine: the pure electric engine could hardly hear the sound of the engine. Sitting in the car, one could only hear the sound of yellow sand passing over the ground.
Tire noise.
"If there is such a good thing, why not promote it?"
"With a battery life of four to five hundred kilometers, charging once a week is a bit too troublesome..."
Of course, this is not without promotion. Qingyan Group has begun to cooperate with the power grid to set up charging lines and charging piles in some newly built parking lots in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Although there are charging piles sold to car owners, the current is limited. Zhengxin internally jokingly calls it "one hour of charging, five minutes of high speed". Although it is not that exaggerated, it still takes a day to fully charge the car battery.
Arriving at the parking lot of the assembly workshop and getting off the car, Qin Ruoshu turned around and glanced at the electric car and muttered: "This appearance feels a bit familiar..."
Can you not be familiar with it?
Zhou Yan smiled and did not explain, but because this was not a glorious thing.
Because electric vehicles need to consider battery life, they will rack their brains and work hard on the wind resistance coefficient. As we all know, the wind resistance design of supercars has always been the best...
The electric car that the two people just called, internally codenamed "Lame Horse", has an appearance design copied from the unborn Mavericks' Huracan and McLaren's Artura.
The reason why Qin Ruoshu felt familiar was that this car had both the long arc shape of the Maverick and the exaggerated rounded corners of the McLaren.
The final assembly workshop is more than one kilometer long. Commuting inside the workshop cannot be done by Route 11, but by the electric convertible developed by Zhengxin.
During the trial production stage, there was no lively scene in the workshop. There were only a few groups of workers surrounding the four drone skeletons that had begun to take shape, constantly adding details to them, a bit like painting an oil painting.
"Is this also called a drone?" Qin Ruoshu was dumbfounded, looking at the first drone that was already taking shape in the distance, "I used to play with it..."
"This is also a drone..."
"Xiao Qin, the batch that hasn't been produced yet is bigger. Compared with that one, this one is like a small dragonfly..."
It has not passed the qualitative test, so the first drone that rolled off the production line only enjoyed the treatment of having a red flower hanging on the nose and having its photo on the homepage of the group company's website.
Moreover, after taking the photos, the wings and tail of the drone were removed. After the avionics equipment passed the test, it could be fixed to the pre-designed packaging rack and stuffed into a standard container...
