Intense testing lasted for five hours.
Li Zhen and others all stayed near the airport and did not leave, just watching the professionals conduct testing. From time to time, there are also randomly inspected aircraft for test flights.
In fact, Li Zhen could have left long ago, and this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, but he still stays here. It's because Li Zhen also wants to see New Kyushu open a dedicated air line as soon as possible and enter another dimension of transportation.
"Master Li, after testing, the first mass-produced Peng style is basically correct."
Li Zhen asked: "What is basic?"
Liu Jinghong smiled: "There are still minor flaws in some places, but the flaws cannot be concealed."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present became nervous, especially the CEOs of those manufacturers who held their breath and looked nervously at Liu Jinghong, who had the most say in the history of world aviation. I was very worried and didn't know what was wrong with the airplane I built.
Du Taiping's secretary also said hurriedly: "Dean Liu, don't be too tight-lipped and talk about it quickly. No matter how small a problem is, it needs to be magnified."
Liu Jinghong laughed: "Actually, it's not a big problem. It's just that I think there are some problems with the mass-produced Peng-style design."
"what is the problem?"
"You have designed a lot of humanized services and entertainment for Pengshi. But you have ignored the most important experience point for passengers, which is comfort. I took a look and found that these planes don't have cargo bays, do they?"
The chief designer of the mass-produced Pengshi quickly said: "Yes, this is a manned aircraft. So cargo transportation is not considered."
"It needs to be considered. Some passengers need to travel far and carry luggage or packages. We can't let passengers sit on the plane with luggage in their arms, right? In fact, we should design a small cargo compartment where passengers can put their luggage. You can also design some small cabinets above the seats. This is actually not difficult.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present let out a sigh of relief.
Turns out that was the problem. It's not just that there's something wrong with the plane itself.
The CEOs of the companies that produced the Pengshi all wiped away their cold sweat and laughed in agreement: "We will definitely take Dean Liu's advice and immediately redesign the cargo loading mechanism on the Pengshi."
"In fact, it doesn't take up much space, nor does it take up much weight. The luggage of thirty passengers will not be too heavy. As long as the regulations indicate how much luggage a passenger can bring at most, the problem of overloaded luggage can be avoided."
"Thank you very much for Dean Liu's reminder. If it weren't for Dean Liu, how could we have thought that such an important issue had been ignored?"
"This question is very critical. Dean Liu is worthy of being Dean Liu. He can see the problem at a glance."
“…”
Everyone exchanged pleasantries and applauded each other, but felt much happier.
In fact, from a rational point of view, it is impossible for the Peng-type to have problems. The design of the Peng-type was very successful, and the test flight was very successful. Everything is very mature. These factories only produce parts and components, and they just change the soup without changing the medicine. The chance of something going wrong is pitiful.
If something goes wrong even after trying to copy a cat, it can only be said that it is time to die.
Even for the core engine of the Peng-type engine, the Motor Vehicle Institute provided detailed drawings and sent a dedicated instructor to provide personal guidance. There is no chance of any mistakes.
And the reason why everyone is nervous is just because this matter is so important.
Li Zhen clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "What should we do next? When will the flight route be opened?"
Du Taiping's secretary quickly said: "Return to what Dean Li said. After the strategic deployment of the new Kyushu government, it was unanimously determined that the Peng-type carrier aircraft should first meet the military needs, and then meet the civilian needs... "
At this point, many people in the venue changed their expressions.
Du Taiping's secretary smiled, then changed the topic and said: "But the purpose of the Peng-style research and development this time is to demonstrate the great power of New Kyushu. Therefore, it was unanimously determined that the Peng-style aircraft should use a compromise plan."
"What is a compromise plan?"
"Dual use, both military and civilian."
"What is dual-use military and civilian use?"
"For military use in wartime and for civilian use in peacetime."
"Oh?" Li Zhen raised an eyebrow: "I wonder how this is used for military purposes in wartime, and how it is used for civilian purposes in peacetime?"
"Back to Dean Li. First of all, the first batch needs to be trialled as soon as possible, and then the second batch of more Peng-types should be produced as soon as possible. Secondly, a big plan should be made for the deployment of the airport. Du Tianzi's idea is, Airports will be opened in all the main counties and prosperous counties of New Kyushu where there are heavy troop accumulations throughout New Kyushu. Airports will be developed first in important cities in New Kyushu, so that they can meet wartime needs."
"After the airport is opened, in peacetime, it will be a civilian airport."
Li Zhen pondered for a while, finally understood what he meant, and said it tactfully.
That is to say, Du Taiping still wants to make big moves and make big plans. Du Taiping didn't like the airports Li Zhen mentioned before, so he was still prepared to either not build them or make them bigger. I want to make strategic arrangements throughout New Kyushu.
There's an airport in every county, so that's certainly not possible.
But what Du Taiping wants to do is that at least prosperous counties must have airports. What is a prosperous county, and what is the definition of prosperity? It all depends on how big Du Taiping's appetite is. If he insists that a county with a population of 50,000 is a prosperous county, then it is estimated that the number of airports must be at least thousands.
The money is huge.
Li Zhen smiled indifferently: "What Emperor Du does will naturally have his own considerations and the considerations of the Kyushu Party. I can't get in the way. But the requirements made before must be met. New Kyushu, nine Every main county in the state, as well as the county town next to the main county, must give priority to opening air access. There must be no mistake."
"I know. I came today to tell Director Li that the Quancheng County Airport in Dongzhou has been completed, the Huangpu County Airport in Southeast Prefecture will be completed today, and the Hangcheng County Airport in Southeast Prefecture will be completed..."
In one breath, he mentioned thirty-six airports, all of which have been completed or will be completed today.
This really surprised Li Zhen. Where did the country come from with so much money
How much money the new Kyushu government has, and how much money can be spent on a project at most, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences knows best. Du Taiping wanted to pave the way for the nationwide plan, which was unrealistic, so Li Zhen had been worried that his decision would delay the issues he had explained before.
But now it seems that cats have cat paths and mice have rat paths. He actually got it done, and the nationwide plan seems to be just around the corner.
Seeing Li Zhen's confusion, Du Taiping's secretary smiled and said: "After knowing Du Tianzi's thoughts, princesses across the country became excited. After all, the opening of aviation and transportation convenience are very important for the local impact. To If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. The princesses have long been aware of the concept. They are vying to build the airport, and they are even vying to build the airport with their own money. They want aviation connectivity more than the rest of us."
As he said that, he sighed again: "Oh. Everything is ready, only the plane is missing."
