Originally, the entire huge industrial base was relatively deserted, but in recent months, the entire huge industrial base has become lively.
With the launch of the 'College Engineers' program, tens of thousands of graduates from major universities across the country have gathered here, injecting youthful vitality into the entire aerospace industry base and even the entire Huangping Town.
The tens of thousands of graduates are just the first batch, and currently they are mainly used to train engineers in the aerospace industry.
Well, of course this is a nicer way of saying it. In fact, to be precise, they are aerospace workers.
Of course, their salary and benefits are also quite high. They are a level higher than the ordinary clerical employees of the group company, but not as good as those of the company's research institute. They are somewhere in between.
Tens of thousands of employees are enough for the current Galaxy Aerospace Industrial Base, but once private anti-gravity aircraft begin to explode in the future, these tens of thousands of employees will definitely not be enough, and we will continue to recruit people.
The entire aerospace industry base can be regarded as a base integrating industry, education and research.
There is a huge factory area, with 10 factories used to build large spacecrafts alone, and nearly 100 factories used to build small aircraft such as Qingyun aerospace fighters and private anti-gravity spacecraft.
There is a huge research base, and the tens of thousands of college student engineers currently recruited are not just aerospace workers. In the future, their development direction will also be towards the scientific research system. Of course, here, the main research is on spacecraft and so on.
There is also a huge teaching base. The entire huge teaching base is built according to the standards of the university. There are many teaching buildings, many laboratories, and several huge libraries.
As for the living area, it is naturally indispensable. It is completely self-proclaimed as a system and implements a very strict militarized and closed management.
After all, it is a military industrial enterprise. It also produces sharp weapons such as Qingyun aerospace fighters. The security team alone has thousands of people in the entire aerospace industry base, all of which are composed of outstanding veterans, and they are also fully armed, plus various
With such advanced security equipment, instruments, etc., you can immediately detect even a mosquito flying in.
At this time, in a factory building No. B001, Qin Yizheng, wearing a white coat, was studying the mass production of the Qingyun air-space fighter with Liu Peiqiang, Lu Qingwei and others.
In the aerospace industrial base, the factories are divided into two types. Type A factory is used to manufacture large anti-gravity spacecraft, and type B factory is used to manufacture small anti-gravity aircraft.
Now it is really under construction, and it is the B001 factory building that is in use, which is used to produce Qingyun aerospace fighter aircraft.
The factory building is very large, dozens of meters high and several kilometers long.
The factory is brightly lit, and the incandescent lamps on the top of the factory illuminate the place brightly. Even during the day, the lights here are always on.
A long assembly line extends from the head of the factory to the end of the factory. Above the assembly line, in some areas, there are groups of engineers dressed in white. Scientists are debugging and modifying the entire assembly line.
At the front end of the assembly line, several prototypes of the Qingyun aerial fighter jets are parked quietly on the assembly line. On both sides of the assembly line, there are many various machines, equipment, etc. The college engineer who has been studying for several months is working on the very
Seriously learn to control the machine and so on.
"Our first production and assembly line has been basically debugged. Next, we can almost achieve the goal of producing 100 aircraft per month and 1,000 aircraft per year."
Liu Peiqiang pointed to the production line in front of him and said.
This assembly line is actually an assembly line, specifically responsible for assembling the Qingyun aerospace fighter. As for the core anti-gravity engine of the fighter, it is produced and assembled in another factory.
"Our entire Qingyun air and space fighter production is based on automobile manufacturing. We produce the core components ourselves. We outsource all the other components that we can outsource. We only produce the ones that cannot be outsourced."
"The core anti-gravity engine factory building has almost been debugged and will be put into production soon. By then, we will have excess production capacity."
"We expect to complete production of the above order for 300 Qingyun aerospace fighters before March 2022."
Liu Peiqiang is the general person in charge of the project and is very clear about all aspects of the Qingyun air and space fighter.
"In fact, if our production lines are operated at full capacity, we will be able to produce 10,000 Qingyun air and space fighters per year."
"But now is a time of peace, so there are simply no need for so many fighter planes, and we cannot sell them to the global market, so we can only reduce our production capacity to the level of 1,000 aircraft per year."
Qin Yi listened carefully and nodded after listening. Qin Yi had no intention of making much money from military products. The orders from his superiors were too few and they could not be sold globally. The military product project of Galaxy Aerospace was destined to compete with his superiors.
Build good relationships and improve your status.
What really makes money is private anti-gravity spacecraft. Once private anti-gravity spacecraft begin to become popular, they will continue to replace cars and become people's daily transportation tool.
Then this market is very huge.
Globally, hundreds of millions of cars are produced every year, and the total number of cars worldwide exceeds 1 billion. The number of cars in China alone exceeds 300 million. It is conceivable that once private aircraft begin to become popular, this cake will
How huge it would be.
This is what Qin Yi values and what Qin Yi has been working hard and fighting for.
"How is the output of the core anti-gravity engine production line?"
Thinking of this, Qin Yi asked Liu Peiqiang.
"We estimate that the output can reach 100,000 anti-gravity engines per year, but now all aspects are still in the trial operation stage. At most, we can only produce 10,000 anti-gravity engines per year."
"Of course, if we take the civilian route, the performance requirements of the anti-gravity engine can be reduced a lot, and our production capacity can be increased a lot."
Liu Peiqiang reported the data.
The performance requirements of the Qingyun aerospace fighter are very high in all aspects. As the core anti-gravity engine, its performance requirements are naturally also very demanding.
However, the requirements for private anti-gravity aircraft are much lower.
Whether it is speed, maneuverability, load, etc., private aircraft are naturally far inferior to the military Qingyun aerospace fighter, and accordingly the requirements for the core anti-gravity engine are much lower.
The cost is correspondingly much lower.
The cost of a Qingyun aerospace fighter is hundreds of millions. The core anti-gravity engine requires a large amount of rare metals, which is very expensive to build.
It is generally a private anti-gravity aircraft, because the requirements in all aspects are much lower. The rare metals used in the core anti-gravity engine are very few, and they can even be replaced by some ordinary materials, so the cost is much lower.
Similarly, for a large anti-gravity spacecraft like the Hou Yi, which is huge in size, has a huge take-off weight, and can fly in interstellar space, its core anti-gravity engine is even more expensive to build.
More rare metals need to be used, and the cost of building such an anti-gravity spacecraft is tens of billions.
The bigger the anti-gravity engine is, the more expensive it is, and it is showing a linear upward trend.
"In terms of production, let's not worry too much. Anyway, for now, the order we have received is only 300 Qingyun aerospace fighters. In terms of private anti-gravity aircraft, I estimate that it will not be launched until next year."
"So the key now is to train our team, hone a capable professional team, and use this team as a seed to cultivate, and continue to replicate in the future to cultivate a larger team."
"Focus on building the team and ensuring quality, and then study speed."
Qin Yi thought for a while and nodded.
The manufacturing of anti-gravity aircraft is an extremely huge project. There are tens of thousands of large and small parts for an Qingyun aerospace fighter.
Most of the parts are outsourced. Galaxy Aerospace does not produce them at all. Galaxy Technology only produces the most important and core anti-gravity engines, control systems, mind control systems and assembly.
When some people see assembly, they will think that it is a very low-tech thing. On the contrary, when it comes to anti-gravity aircraft, assembly is also a really technical thing.
This is like a high-precision machine tool. If you disassemble an original machine tool imported from abroad and then reassemble it, it will definitely be difficult to achieve the original accuracy. The principle is the same.
There is no technical content, and assembly must be very simple.
However, the assembly of anti-gravity aircraft is related to the entire aircraft and is also a very technical process. It is impossible to imitate the fruit company and outsource the assembly to Foxconn.
Take the assembly of the Qingyun aerospace fighter as an example. On the entire huge assembly line, there are several very special assembly areas. One of them is an assembly area. The entire area is carried out in a very cold icehouse with a temperature of several orders of magnitude.
Ten degrees.
At such a low temperature, materials will undergo thermal expansion and contraction. According to the different coefficients of thermal expansion and contraction of different materials, when assembled at low temperature, after returning to normal temperature, some assembly parts will expand and contract differently.
, you can achieve the desired effect in every step, such as simultaneous inlay connections, assembly at low temperatures, and material expansion at high temperatures, so the inlays can be perfect without leaving any gaps.
So don’t think that assembly is just an unskilled work process. In a real high-tech industry, assembly is also a very technical job.
ps: I heard that some Japanese car engines are assembled in cold storage, using the different coefficients of thermal expansion and contraction between different materials. After low-temperature assembly, after returning to normal temperature, the performance of the engine will be very good.
Superior, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I think it’s probably groundless.
