Chapter 188 Near Space Airship
On September 15, Zhou Yu personally walked through the Longshou Building and observed the work status of the employees.
After he fired Lin Yun, the killing of monkeys and chickens was a perfect success, and everyone's enthusiasm for work increased by one or two percent.
Zheng Zixin quickly took over Xinghuo Electronics Company, without causing any turmoil, and everything in the company was operating normally.
Lin Yun looked at himself too highly and Xinghuo Electronics Company will still operate without anyone else.
Zhou Yu returned to the office, and he put on VR smart glasses and prepared to watch the company's developed airship flying into the adjacent space.
The reason why he used to watch through the virtual world rather than to watch it on the spot was mainly because it took a long time for the airship to take off, and this time it took 4 days to prepare.
The experiment cannot guarantee 100% success. There is a certain probability that failure will be wasted his time.
Zhou Yu entered the designated virtual world and saw a huge fusiform airship floating in the space.
The chubby young man standing next to him holding a rifle is Lu Ban in artificial intelligence.
"Xiao Luban, are you here to introduce me to the airship situation?" Zhou Yu greeted.
"Those otakus are too shy. They can't explain clearly in front of you, so I can only do it for you."
Zhou Yu knew about Wang Jin and those people. They were fine in research and development, but they did not have any good eloquence.
Introducing the situation of the airship, there is really no clear understanding of artificial intelligence.
Lu Ban began to introduce the airship data to Zhou Yu in detail.
The maximum ceiling of the airship is 120 kilometers away from the ground, and the best ceiling is 100 kilometers away from the ground.
The air in the clouds above 100 kilometers from the ground is very thin, and it is already difficult to support airships with hundreds of tons of mass.
The airbag is made of ultra-thin organic material, filled with helium, and the weight of the entire airship is 1.2 tons.
The airship covers three football fields in size and can easily lift about 500 tons of supplies.
The airship is surrounded by a small aviation engine, which can slowly adjust its position in the air, fight against strong winds at high altitudes, and maintain the stability of the airship.
The neutrino communication base station is installed in a shielding cover and is lifted by the airship through 132 ropes.
These 132 ropes are coordinated through the system to keep the neutrino communication base station stable and will not shake due to the wind direction at high altitudes.
Zhou Yu stared at the equal-scale model of the airship in the virtual world. Its structure is very simple, which is the lifting system of the airbag, skeleton and the airship.
Zhou Yu connected to the airship test base where Wang Jin was located through the virtual world and found that they were still assembling a huge airship.
They must ensure that each connection point of the airship is tight and that the airbag is not leaking and damaged, so that the airship can rise to the adjacent space normally.
Zhou Yu noticed that Wang Jin's process of developing airships was very difficult, and he solved many problems. It was not as simple as he thought, and it was just screening the existing technology.
He began to focus on the reasons for Wang Jin's previous failures.
In the first experiment, because the airbag is too big and the airship rises too fast, the airbag is directly hit by the airflow and the experiment failed.
In the second experiment, Wang Jin replaced the material of the airship airbag and specially reinforced the airship airbag. He found that the airship rose very fast, and the vibration caused by friction with the air can easily destroy the base station equipment that is more sensitive to vibration.
In the third experiment, Wang Jin reduced the size of the airship's airbag, causing the airship to hover at this height when it reached 18 kilometers from the ground and no longer continued to rise.
The fourth is the experiment. Wang Jin uses a modular airship. The airship rises to a certain limit and high-pressure helium will fill an airbag.
Through the gradual relay method, the airship can maintain a stable rise speed in the air and strengthen its rise height.
The airbag research was basically successful in this experiment, but it was found that the fixed anchor on the ground was directly pulled up by flying.
The airship was unable to fix it, and the experiment failed. They could only remotely control the airship to release helium and allow it to land slowly.
In the fifth experiment, Wang Jin built nearly one acre of concrete foundation and buried it 10 meters underground.
The foundation is very strong and will not be pulled up by the airship. However, when the airship rises to a designated height, a strong wind directly breaks the steel cable that pulls the airship.
After analysis, the steel cable is not tough enough, and its weight is very large, which leads to breaking from a fragile place.
In the sixth experiment, Wang Jin used lightweight ropes made of a blend of organic fiber wire and graphene fiber wire.
It has a light weight and strong toughness, making it very suitable for fixed airships.
The test experiment found that in the adjacent space, the airship would float back and forth due to factors such as airflow.
They tried to limit the movement of the airship through multiple ropes.
...
In the 16th experiment, it was found that in the adjacent space, because the atmosphere was very thin, many rays outside the universe passed through the thin atmosphere and illuminated on airships and base station equipment, affecting the operation of the equipment.
Zhou Yu saw that during the development of the airship, he conducted many experiments, and each time he discovered some problems and solved many problems.
Even though Wang Jin announced that the airship was developed successfully, many situations still occurred during the formal testing.
A capable young man immediately appeared in the virtual world. From his young face, he could tell that he was a college student who had just graduated.
This person is Wang Jin, a scientific research assistant at the Institute of Li and Mechanical Research and the head of the near-space airship project.
Wang Jin reported with a confident look on his face: "Mr. Zhou, we have tested the airship and now it can be launched."
Zhou Yu snapped his fingers, and the virtual world immediately turned into an airship test base.
His virtual image also appeared at the airship test base at the same time, and everyone's movements began to synchronize.
This is a very wide application of VR technology in reality. It can make people experience situations far away from it.
Zhou Yu set his sights on a very large airship, which was about 15 meters above the ground.
It has raised a platform the size of a football field, which has a 1:1 neutrino communication base station model.
The entire platform is covered with multiple shields of different materials, which is to prevent the device from being damaged by cosmic rays.
"The airship can take off, it's time to test its abilities." Zhou Yu ordered.
When Wang Jin heard Zhou Yu's orders, he immediately began to direct everyone to let the airship take off.
There are more than 10 ropes connected to the airship, which restrict its movements, and these ropes are connected to the foundation.
As the airship gradually took off, the mechanical equipment on the ground also began to retract and release the ropes according to the airship's flying posture.
The airship rose at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and it rose steadily without any twists and turns.
Zhou Yu paid attention to the airship situation for a while, and then he began to deal with the normal work of Spark Technology.
Five hours later, when Zhou Yu was having a meal, he heard Wang Jin's joyful voice.
"Mr. Zhou, we have placed airships in the adjacent space this time, which was perfectly successful. All technologies have met the requirements of carrying neutrino base stations."
Zhou Yu immediately came to the virtual world and controlled his virtual projection at the airship test base.
His virtual image smiled and praised Wang Jin: "You have done a very good job. This time you are all promoted to researchers and are officially responsible for the near-space airship project."
