Hangar No. 2 of Feiyan Space Center.
In the hangar, a behemoth was displayed.
This is the newly built PLUS version of the Goddess. Chen Mo named it "Tiannu". It is considered the sister version of the Goddess, but this sister is a bit fatter.
Chen Mo stood in front of it, shorter than the wheels of the landing gear.
Including the landing gear, the fuselage is 21.8 meters tall, with a wingspan of 153.7 meters and a length of 70.4 meters. Compared with it, the Goddess looks like a cute little one.
Even if this big fat girl has mature technology and equipment and machines specially developed to manufacture it, it will cost a lot of money. Not counting the cost of expanding the base and building a hangar, the cost of building the Tiannu is more than 80 billion.
In five months, the world was changing, and Chen Mo was in the laboratory, concentrating on building the Tiannu.
With the support of the machines in Area 1 of the Marching Ant Group and the workshops and factories owned by the Marching Ant Group, the assembly was not completed until yesterday.
"Every system has been checked and no problems were found." Mo Nu said.
"Open the door and prepare for test flight."
Chen Mo gave the order.
The assembly of the Tiannu was completed, but there was no prompt to complete the technology in the Science and Technology Library. It was necessary to determine whether the research and development was successful only after the test flight was successful.
The tall rolling shutter door of Hangar No. 2 slowly rose, and this was the first time Tiannu Hao saw the blue sky outside.
In Hangar No. 2, the staff involved in the assembly of the Tiannu looked at the Tiannu in amazement. This is not the first time they have seen the Tiannu. Every time they see it, they can't help but admire it.
This is probably the most powerful aircraft in the world.
After everyone left the hangar, the Tiannu started up. The tail ion engine sprayed a faint blue flame and slowly came out of the hangar, like a phoenix emerging from its cage, with a breathtaking momentum.
A minute later, the new and huge body was exposed to the sun for the first time.
"Oh My God."
"What kind of monster is this?"
Countries around the world were using spy satellites to monitor the intelligence agencies of the Flying Ant Space Center. When they saw the satellite image of Tiannv, they exclaimed.
After the Autonomous Army Ant Group announced that it had the technology to develop lunar resources, the Flying Ant Space Center became a target of the intelligence agencies of global powers. Several major world intelligence agencies are under 24-hour satellite monitoring.
The 36,000-acre private space center contains the world's most advanced aerospace technology, but it is the place least understood by global intelligence agencies, because ground intelligence personnel cannot get close to it.
The expansion of the Flying Ant Space Center has been completed. From the vehicles entering and exiting seen on the spy satellite, it can be determined that there is big movement in the newly built workshop.
I didn't expect such a terrifying big guy to come out now.
From the analysis of satellite images, the wingspan of this aircraft exceeds 150 meters, which is twice as large as the Goddess.
"Are the army ants crazy?"
"What are they going to do?"
Countless questions emerged from the minds of intelligence personnel from various countries. The figure of the plane was immediately sent to the desks of leaders of various countries. Major intelligence agencies around the world are following the movements of the Tiannu in real time through satellites.
Flying Ant Space Base.
The Tiannu has entered the airport, and the driving robot is getting ready in the cockpit.
Chen Mo personally completed the test work. On the screen in the control room, there were various instrument data of the Tiannu. The other staff were a little nervous. It was their first time to test fly such a large aircraft.
"Start the engine."
Chen Mo gave an order and the ion engine in the belly of the Tiannu started.
Blue fireworks shot out, and a gust of wind appeared in the airport. As the power of the ion engine increased, the wind became stronger.
"Engine No. 1 is normal."
"Engine No. 2 is normal."
“…”
"Engine No. 10 is normal."
…
"The flight control system is normal."
Mo Nu reported to Chen Mo the working status of each system of the Tiannv. Now it is just the final test before liftoff.
take off!
As the order fell, on the airfield, the power of the Tiannu's ion engine increased, and suddenly there was a strong wind. The huge body of the Tiannu slowly floated up under the attention of everyone.
The plane did not fly high, but hovered 20 meters high in the sky.
"Oh my god, can such a big plane hover vertically?"
"What kind of engine is this?"
Through satellite images, we can see the Tiannu hovering in the sky, which has caused many intelligence agencies in various countries to explode.
The Goddess is big enough to take off and hover vertically, which is already terrifying. In lunar landing projects and space projects, the Goddess can fly, take off and land in a vacuum, once again refreshing the outside world's understanding of the Goddess engine.
Now this aircraft, which is twice the size of the Goddess, can also take off and hover vertically. At this moment, the understanding of the technology of the Army Ant Group once again rose to a new level.
It was a monster company.
Some conspiracy theory patients even doubt whether Chen Mo is a person from the future who traveled back hundreds of years later.
"take off."
After hovering for about five minutes and confirming that the flight control system and the ion engine were stable, Chen Mo issued flight instructions.
The dim light of the ion engine suddenly surged, accelerating, and shot straight into the sky.
As the height increased, all the data on the screen were jumping. No one dared to relax and stared at the screen, always ready for changes. If this plane crashes, it will crash a large listed company.
"Stable external airflow."
This is a spaceship and needs to be tested in space. As the Tiannu continued to gain altitude, the control room became inexplicably nervous.
"The altitude is 80 kilometers, the external temperature is minus 93 degrees Celsius, and the cabin temperature is 25 degrees Celsius; the cabin air pressure is 101.3KPa, the air pressure is normal, the environmental control and life support systems are normal; the flight control and communication systems are normal; the power supply and distribution systems are normal, and propulsion The system is normal... The instrumentation and lighting systems are normal; the data management is normal."
"Height 100 kilometers..."
"Height 200 kilometers..."
"The altitude is 400 kilometers, the speed is 7.9 kilometers per second, the cabin temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, and the air pressure is 101.3KPa; the environmental control and life support systems are normal; the flight control and communication systems are normal; the propulsion system is normal; the instrumentation and lighting systems are normal; data management normal."
"Return."
After the test was completed, Chen Mo issued a return order.
Three hours later, the Tiannu returned to the Flying Ant Space Center and landed steadily, and everyone in the control room smiled relaxedly. The logistics staff did not dare to neglect and quickly went to the aircraft to perform maintenance on the Tiannv.
Chen Mo, who was sitting at the main console, felt a sense of relief coming from his mind.
He knows what this means.
The completion of Tiannu means the completion of a new technology.
The technical difficulty of this Tiannu number is slightly greater than that of the Goddess number. Moreover, this project has too many supporting technologies, the project is very large, and the research and development difficulty is also greater than that of the Goddess.
The science and technology library only provides the formulas for spacecraft materials, and he has to solve other tasks by himself, including design and manufacturing.
This time, the golden light of the technology ball should be much larger.
Chen Mo is now unsure how many technologies he needs before he can reach the next level of authority in the Science and Technology Library.
Don't force it, just let nature take its course.
The Tiannv returned to the hangar for maintenance. Chen Mo took Mo Nu out of the control room and headed to the laboratory.
"I'll take a rest. If there's something particularly urgent, just wake me up."
"good."
After warning Mo Nu, Chen Mo lay down on the sofa and entered the Science and Technology Library.
