Vol 2 Chapter 166: , The first production line

Xinghe Aerospace Industrial Base in Huangping Town.

The original huge industrial base was relatively deserted, but in recent months, the entire large industrial base has begun to flourish.

With the launch of the 'College Student Engineer' 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.

Tens of thousands of graduates are just the first batch. Currently, they are mainly used to train aerospace industry engineers.

Sigh, of course, this is a pretty good statement. In fact, it is exactly the space worker.

Of course, their remuneration is also quite high, a grade higher than the ordinary clerical staff of the group company, but not as good as those of the company's research institute, in the middle of the two.

Tens of thousands of employees are enough for the current Xinghe Aerospace Industrial Base, but once the private anti-gravity aircraft begins to explode in the future, these tens of thousands of people will definitely not be enough, and will continue to recruit people at that time.

The entire aerospace industry base can be regarded as a base of industry-university-research integration.

There is a huge factory building area. There are only 10 factory buildings used to build large spacecrafts. There are also nearly 100 factory buildings used to build small aircraft such as Qingyun sky fighters and private anti-gravity spacecraft.

There is a huge research base. The tens of thousands of college engineers now recruited are not only as simple as space workers, but their future development direction is also toward the scientific research system. Of course, the main research here is spacecraft and so on.

There is also a huge teaching base. The entire huge teaching base is constructed according to university standards. There are many teaching buildings, many laboratories, and several huge libraries.

As for the living area, it is naturally indispensable. It completely claims to be a system, and also implements very strict militarization and closed management.

After all, it is a military enterprise, and it also produces the sharp weapon of the Qingyun sky fighter. The security team alone, there are thousands of people in the entire aerospace industry base, all of them are excellent veterans, and they are fully armed, plus various Such advanced security equipment, instruments, etc., even a mosquito flew in and knew immediately.

At this time, in a B001 factory building, Qin Yi was wearing a white coat and Liu Peiqiang, Lu Qingwei, and others to study the mass production of the Qingyun Sky Fighter.

In the aerospace industrial base, the plant is divided into two types. The A-type plant is used to make large anti-gravity spacecraft, and the B-type plant is used to make small anti-gravity aircraft.

Now it is the B001 factory that is really in construction and in use, which is used to produce Qingyun sky fighters.

The factory building is very large, tens of meters high and several kilometers long.

The factory is brightly lit, and the incandescent lamp on the top of the factory is brightly illuminated. Even during the day, the lights here are always on.

A long assembly line extends from the head of the plant to the end of the plant. Above the assembly line, in some areas, there are a group of engineers and scientists in white clothes debugging and modifying the entire assembly line.

At the front of the assembly line, the prototypes of several Qingyun space fighter aircrafts are quietly parked on the assembly line. On both sides of the assembly line, there are a lot of various machines, equipment and so on. College student engineers who have studied for several months are very Seriously learning to operate machines and so on.

"Our first production and assembly line has been basically debugged. Next, we can almost achieve the goal of producing 100 aircrafts per month and 1,000 air-cloud fighters per year."

Liu Peiqiang pointed at the production line in front of him and said.

流 This production line is actually an assembly line, which is specially responsible for assembling the Qingyun Sky and Space Fighter. As for the core anti-gravity engine of the fighter, it is produced and assembled in another plant.

"The production of our entire Qingyun spaceflight aircraft is based on car manufacturing. We produce our own core components and other components. We can purchase all the outsourced materials, but we cannot produce them ourselves."

"The core anti-gravity engine plant has now been almost commissioned and can be put into production soon. At that time, we will have an overcapacity problem."

"On the order of the 300 Qingyun sky fighters above, we expect that all production will be completed before March 2022."

Liu Peiqiang is the general manager of the project, and he is very clear about all aspects of the Qingyun space fighter.

实际上 "Actually, if our production line starts at full capacity, we will have the ability to produce 10,000 Qingyun Air-space fighters per year."

不过 "But now is the era of peace. We don't need so many fighter planes at all. We can't sell to the global market. We can only reduce our production capacity to the level of 1,000 aircraft per year."

Qin Yi listened carefully. He nodded after listening. For military products, Qin Yi had no plans to make much money. The orders above were too small to be sold globally. It was destined that Xinghe Aerospace's military product projects were designed to be compatible with the top. Improve relationships and improve the status of oneself.

What really makes money is the private anti-gravity spacecraft. Once the private anti-gravity aircraft begins to spread, it will continue to replace cars and become a tool for people's daily travel.

This market is huge.

Globally, the annual output of automobiles is hundreds of millions, and the total number of automobiles worldwide is more than 1 billion. China ’s car ownership alone exceeds 300 million. It is conceivable that once the private aircraft begins to spread, this cake How big it will be.

This is what Qin Yi sees and it is also Qin Yi has been working hard for.

"How about the output of the core anti-gravity engine production line?"

When thinking of this, Qin Yi asked Liu Peiqiang.

"Our estimated output is to be able to reach an annual output of 100,000 anti-gravity engines, but now all aspects are still in the trial operation stage. At best, we can only produce 10,000 anti-gravity engines."

当然 "Of course, if the civilian route is followed, the performance requirements of anti-gravity engines can be reduced a lot, and our production capacity can be increased a lot."

培 Liu Peiqiang reported the data.

Qi Qingyun space fighter, its performance requirements and other aspects are very high, 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.

No matter in terms of speed, maneuverability, load, etc., private aircraft is naturally inferior to the military Qingyun sky-to-air fighter, and the corresponding requirements for the core anti-gravity engine are much lower.

The cost is also much lower.

The cost of a Qingyun space fighter is hundreds of millions. The core anti-gravity engine requires a large amount of rare metals, which is expensive.

Generally, it is a private anti-gravity aircraft, because the requirements in various aspects are greatly reduced. Rare metals used in the core anti-gravity engines are very few, and even ordinary materials can be used to replace them, and the cost is much lower.

The same large anti-gravity spacecraft like the Houyi has a large size, a large take-off weight, and can also fly in interstellar space. Its core anti-gravity engine is even more expensive. More rare metals are needed, and the cost of such an anti-gravity spacecraft is tens of billions.

越大 The larger the anti-gravity engine, the more expensive it is to build, and they all show a straight upward trend.

"In terms of output, let's not worry too much about it anyway. Anyway, now we have orders of 300 Qingyun sky fighters. I estimate that the private anti-gravity aircraft will not be launched until next year."

所以 "The key now is to train our team, sharpen a lean professional team, and cultivate this team as a seed to cultivate. In the future, we will continue to replicate and cultivate a larger team."

"Focus on building a team and ensuring quality, and then study speed."

Qin Yi thought and nodded.

The manufacture of anti-gravity aircraft is an extremely large project. There are tens of thousands of large and small parts in a Qingyun space fighter.

绝 Most of the parts are outsourced. Xinghe Aerospace does not produce it at all. Xinghe Technology only produces the most important and core anti-gravity engines, control systems, idea control systems and assembly.

Some people think that assembly is a very technical thing when they see it. On the contrary, in anti-gravity aircraft, assembly is also a really technical thing.

This is like a high-precision machine tool. You will disassemble an original machine tool imported from abroad and then reassemble it. It will be very difficult for you to achieve the original accuracy. The truth is the same.

组装 There is no technical content, the assembly must be very simple.

But the assembly of the anti-gravity aircraft is related to the whole aircraft. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is also a very technical process. It is impossible to talk about fruit company and outsource the assembly to Foxconn.

In terms of the assembly of the Qingyun Sky Fighter, there are several very special assembly areas on the entire huge assembly line. Among them, there is an assembly area. The entire area is carried out in a very cold ice bank, and the temperature is below the order. Ten degrees.

At such a low temperature, the material will undergo thermal expansion and contraction. Depending on the coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction of different materials, they are assembled at low temperature. After returning to normal temperature, the thermal expansion and contraction are different. The link can achieve the effect that he envisioned, such as simultaneous mosaic connection, assembly at low temperature, material expansion at high temperature, the mosaic can be perfect, leaving no trace of gaps.

So don't think that assembly is a work link without technology. In the real high-tech industry, assembly is also a very technical job.

PS: I heard that some Japanese automobile engines are assembled in the freezer. They use different thermal expansion and contraction coefficients between different materials. They are assembled at low temperature and returned to normal temperature. The performance of the engine is very high. Superior, I don't know if it is true or not, but if I want to come, it should be nothing.
