"This is the Flying Ant Space Center? It's very nice."
"I didn't expect that we would have such a space center in our country, and it was built by a private enterprise. It's simply unbelievable."
"It was just built."
"Why isn't there a transmitter tower?"
"He didn't develop rockets, but skipped a step to build a space shuttle."
"However, this space center is too close to Binhai City. If something goes wrong, the impact will be huge."
"We currently don't dare to build a space shuttle. The maintenance cost is too high. Isn't this Chen Mo generally bold and afraid of being dragged down? This is a gold-eating beast."
"The revenue of the Marching Ant Group in one quarter is astronomical. Our funds are limited and cannot be used indiscriminately. If they have successfully developed the technology, they should have commercial profit-making projects. He is a businessman and making money is a must."
In a bus near the Flying Ant Space Center, a group of people looked out the window at the space center with wonder in their expressions. They started talking with each other.
The vehicle arrived at the space center, and Li Chengzhi took the lead and got out of the vehicle.
The researchers who followed him came down without forgetting to look around to familiarize themselves with the environment here.
Those who came here were researchers recruited and dispatched by the government from various research institutes.
I heard that Chen Mo had successfully developed an aerospace plane. After officials consulted with Chen Mo, they sent personnel to watch the aerospace plane. The real purpose is to come here to see the space center and aerospace aircraft, hoping to learn some useful technologies for them.
Hence the arrival of this expert group.
The top engineers of Chengdu Aircraft and Shen Fei, the chief designer of the aerospace engineering, the chief engineer of the lunar landing project, the top technicians of the rocket design team, and the engineers of the civil aircraft design team.
Each one of them is a master. Although their names and appearances are unfamiliar to them, they are the mainstay of the country's aerospace industry.
Even Li Chengzhi must treat them politely.
"Engineers, please follow me." A staff member came over with a robot. When he saw many experts, academicians, and engineers, he didn't know what to call them, so he just called them engineers.
For their researchers, they would not reject the title of engineer.
"This is a robot." Several engineers who had rarely been exposed to intelligent robots looked at the robots around the staff with interest.
They all know that the robotic technology of the Army Ant Group is unique, and now that they see it, it is indeed well-deserved.
"Our Lingxiao project involves robots. Now there is a smart robot stationed in the Lingxiao space station. They can replace astronauts and complete many dangerous tasks. They are very useful." said an engineer of the aerospace project.
While talking, the group of people had already boarded the self-driving car at the space center and arrived at the entrance of the hangar.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
When Li Chengzhi saw Chen Mo, he shook hands briefly.
"Let me introduce to you, Academician Huaxing, the chief engineer of the Lingxiao project, this is Academician Zhang Jianfeng, the chief designer of the Chang'e project, and Academician Yang Wei, the aircraft designer of Chengdu Aircraft Corporation..."
Li Chengzhi introduced, and Chen Mo greeted them one by one.
They are all god-level figures.
It seems that the average age is about 40 years old. In the scientific research team, this age is at the peak.
Chen Mo naturally knew the purpose of their coming here.
In the past, when domestic technology was underdeveloped, the country's industrial system started with copycats and accumulated little by little to reach where it is today, becoming the country with the most complete industrial system in the world.
Many foreign technologies are still not dared to be shown to Chinese researchers, because if some technologies are looked at, it will really lead to pregnancy. Maybe some time, those technologies will have an extra 'son' in China.
But Chen Mo didn't care about this.
"The hangar is nice."
Yang Wei was at the hangar door and was already observing the situation inside the hangar. He vaguely saw various mechanical equipment, which seemed good.
"It has just been built and feels a bit small. We are planning to expand it," Chen Mo said.
Hearing this, the experts and academicians present all rolled their eyes.
Not to mention Yang Wei.
He has seen all the aircraft production lines in the country.
This hangar is not small even if it is placed in their official research base. I am afraid that only the H-20 and civilian airliner production lines can rival this hangar.
We are also planning to expand. How big will it be
"Everyone, please come with me."
Chen Mo made an invitation gesture and entered the hangar first.
hiss…
Looking at the environment in the hangar clearly, the sound of the expert team sucking in air-conditioning can be vaguely heard.
From the outside, except for its size, it looks inconspicuous. When you come in, you realize that there is something special about it.
advanced.
This is their first impression of the workshop.
It's much more advanced than they imagined.
Fully automated production lines and robots can be seen everywhere, working in an orderly manner. It feels like entering the robot kingdom. I saw human technicians nearby, but at best they were just auxiliary personnel, more like they were learning techniques and assisting the robots in completing some necessary tasks.
No wonder the production and research and development speed of the Army Ant Group is so terrifying. The work efficiency of these robots is several times or even ten times faster than that of humans. It is abnormal if they are not faster.
When every expert saw this kind of intelligent hangar, they stared with disbelief and project envy.
Just the tip of the ice exposed is far beyond the top domestic production level.
If possible, they would like to move all the equipment and instruments here back to their research base.
Li Chengzhi was also shocked.
He has known Chen Mo for so long. He visited Building 1 of the Army Ant headquarters once, but he didn't see much and didn't understand the concept of technology.
This was the first time he saw Chen Mo's production technology.
Fully intelligent and fully mechanized.
Chen Mo has used intelligent technology and robots to the extreme.
The experts and academicians in the team all claim to have seen the big world, but entering Chen Mo's production hangar feels like Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden.
The advanced technologies in their minds are not worth mentioning in front of these technologies.
"Academician Chen, can I take a look at this?"
An expert stopped and looked at the parts being assembled by the robot next to him, his eyes a little fiery.
He is Lin Xi, a designer of precision machinery. The purpose of coming here this time is to take a look at the production machinery of the Marching Ant Group, hoping to learn some techniques.
"Can."
With Chen Mo's permission, the robot handed a part to Lin Xi.
"What's the point?" asked an expert nearby.
"This is ultra-precision processing technology." Lin Xi carefully took the parts of the ellipsoid and almost cried with excitement.
I saw him gently caressing the smooth elliptical sphere reflected in the mirror, and then with a slight touch, the elliptical sphere that originally seemed to be one body was divided into three parts with different shapes.
Ultra-precision processing technology is the most dazzling and core basic technology in the industrial system.
This technology is applicable to the most cutting-edge technologies such as nuclear energy, large-scale integrated circuits, lasers and aerospace, and can process parts for nuclear fusion mirrors, tactical missiles and manned spacecraft.
The processing accuracy of ultra-precision processing technology can reach 10 nanometers, indicating that the roughness can reach 1 nanometer.
The national research institute has spent countless efforts and resources to barely master this technology, but the technology is difficult and the cost is very high. Every part produced is very expensive, and almost one part is equivalent to a BMW.
These parts are mainly used in military industry, aerospace and nuclear energy, and are not used in ordinary fields.
This is the basic technology necessary for the most cutting-edge technology.
Now they saw this kind of part in the most common robot in the hangar.
"Is there a processing machine here? Can you take me to see it?" Lin Xi looked at Chen Mo hopefully.
"There is a constant temperature room underground. Let the robot take you there later." Chen Mo said.
All the basic technologies were obtained from the science and technology library. After years of accumulation and development, the current Army Ant Group has the most cutting-edge and complete basic technologies.
"I gave this part to you as a souvenir," Chen Mo said.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a relatively high-tech part, but to avid engineers, this part is the highest level of art.
"Thank you." Lin Xi accepted the parts without ceremony and put them away carefully.
Along the way, several engineers discovered cutting-edge technological products in their fields and were often ecstatic.
In the end, the expert team gradually calmed down. Their hearts were not good. There were too many cutting-edge technologies here. They had become numb and gradually became accustomed to it. When they saw incredible things, they did not lose their composure at the beginning.
"This is a space plane under construction."
Soon, a group of people entered the workshop where assembly was taking place.
The workshop is very large, but the huge aerospace aircraft frame in the center attracts everyone's attention.
"Incredible."
Everyone present, including Li Chengzhi, who had been confused from the beginning, stared at the aircraft skeleton being assembled in front of them, and their eyeballs almost fell off.
I couldn't imagine what I saw.
