MTL - The Rise of Space Technology-Chapter 272 , Freelander and Sunwalker aircraft

   Chapter 272, Freelander and Sunwalker Aircraft

  The huge Xinghai Aerospace Science and Technology Industrial Park covers a very large area. Nearly half of the entire Longlin Town belongs to this industrial park, and many large and small factories and buildings have been built.

  The industrial park is full of spacious roads, and large transport vehicles transporting various parts and components are constantly shuttled and busy between factories.

  The entire industrial park is also divided into many areas, family area, core area, office area, large and medium-sized aircraft production area, small aircraft production area and so on.

The family area is also the dormitory area. It is distributed in four directions of the industrial zone. There are four family areas in total. There are a large number of dormitories, buildings, and complete supporting living facilities in the family area, such as supermarkets, vegetable markets, shopping malls, schools. , Even the hospital, Xinghai Technology has been built here.

  Severe illnesses are naturally invisible, but minor illnesses can be seen for free, and medicines and other medicines are prescribed for you at the cost price, which is also a kind of welfare for employees.

  The core area is the research institute of Xinghai Aerospace Industry Group, and the anti-gravity engine production line is located in the core area. The security measures here are the strictest, and it is specially used for R&D and production of the core anti-gravity engine.

The    office area is the office area of ​​Xinghai Aerospace Technology Group. There are several buildings. The entire aerospace industry group is now getting bigger and bigger, and the number of employees is also increasing. There are many things in all aspects.

  The aircraft production area is divided into two parts, the large and medium-sized aircraft production area, which specializes in the production of large and medium-sized aircraft, including spacecraft.

The    small aircraft production area is dedicated to the production of private anti-gravity aircraft, including the production line of Freelander and Windrunner.

   In addition, there is an aero-engine production area, which is specially used to produce aero-engines; an aerospace area, which is specially used to take off and land spacecraft, conduct various space science and technology research, lunar scientific experiments, and so on.

  The entire aerospace industry base covers a very large and wide area, like a huge city, with nearly 100,000 people living and working in it.

Because the floor space is too large, and it is divided into different areas, the communication between each area is either by driving, or by taking the internal bus, otherwise it is too slow and too slow to walk. convenient.

   In the Freelander aircraft production plant, the huge production line has also been completed and debugged, and a large number of engineers are busy at their posts.

  Although the Freelander aircraft has not been officially released, production has already started.

   At the beginning of the production line, the skeleton of the Freelander aircraft was transported to the production line, and then with the operation of the production line, various parts and components were continuously added in one process.

  The first skeleton was slowly assembled, and gradually enriched. Finally, in just ten minutes, a brand-new Freelander aircraft was produced from the assembly line.

   "Boss, this Freelander production line can produce 1 Freelander aircraft every 1 minute with a complete supply of various accessories, and the annual output is about 100,000."

   "Of course, if we adopt a three-shift system, our production capacity can be increased to about 300,000 vehicles, and if we take a holiday, the production capacity can be increased to about 400,000 vehicles."

  In the workshop, Tang Peng accompanied Liu Yuan to inspect the Freelander production line, and also introduced Liu Yuan in detail.

  The production of aircraft is an extremely huge systematic project. The workshop in front of us is only the last assembly factory. Correspondingly, it also has a large number of supporting production and processing workshops.

  Like every hatch of an aircraft, it is produced and assembled in other workshops in advance, then transported here, and then assembled directly.

   The same is true for anti-gravity engines and small aero engines. They have their own production workshops, and after they are split, they can be divided into many parts.

   Some of these parts need to be purchased from suppliers, and some need to build their own production lines for production.

   It can be said that the workshop in front of us is only a very small part of the entire huge production line and industrial chain.

Xinghai Technology has built more than a dozen production bases all over the country. These production bases are serving the production of aircraft. Some of them specialize in the production of a certain component, assemble a certain component, and some specialize in the production of a certain type of aircraft, etc. , are supporting industrial chain.

  Each production base is very large, and they are recruiting a large number of workers and engineers. Some bases, like the production base in Tianfu, are even larger than the base in Ningcheng County.

   There are five Sun Xingzhe aircraft production lines in the Tianfu base. If all of them are completed and put into production, more than 100,000 workers will be needed.

   In order to produce related parts for these five production lines, the more than 1,000 parts suppliers of Xinghai Aerospace Industry Group need thousands of large and small workshops, and the number of workers required is as high as tens of millions.

   The entire industrial chain is a very large one. A large number of related supporting manufacturers are required to produce a single component, and there are as many as tens of thousands of components for a private anti-gravity aircraft.

   This is the reason why the automobile manufacturing industry can become a supporting industry of a country, and it is also the reason why it should be vigorously supported and developed.

  Because it not only has extremely high economic benefits, but the key is that it can also drive a large number of employment and the development of related supporting industries.

   Xinghai Aerospace Industry Group may have less than 100,000 employees now, but the number of employees required by the supporting related industries is ten or a hundred times that.

   Such industries are absolutely essential for a strong industrial manufacturing country, and are also strongly supported and developed.

  "Annual output of about 100,000 vehicles~"

   Liu Yuan nodded silently after hearing this.

   This speed is quite acceptable. About 60 aircraft can be produced in one minute, and the speed of one per second.

   As for the implementation of a three-shift production system and the cancellation of holidays, Liu Yuan never thought about it.

  People in Europe and the United States basically work six hours a day, five days a week, including holidays and the like, half of the year is on vacation.

   They can have a good life and a high income, so why can’t we?

   There was no way before. Most of the manufacturing we are engaged in is low-end manufacturing with limited profits. We can only survive by selling cheap labor.

   But now, the aircraft manufacturing industry is also exclusively ours, and the entire market is ours. We are doing high-end manufacturing. Is it still the same as before? What three shifts do you play, and what holidays do you play?

  Other companies can't control it, but in his own company, Liu Yuan will never consider such a thing. He will rest when he needs to take a break, and take a holiday when he should have a holiday. The money is endless.

   High-end manufacturing should look like high-end manufacturing, don't do it like socks and clothes.

   Besides, the anti-gravity aircraft released by Xinghai Technology takes the mid-to-high-end market and route. If you play three shifts like ordinary low-end manufacturing, you will feel that you will lose your grade in an instant.

  The so-called craftsman spirit, slow work and meticulous work is probably almost what it means.

   If the market demand is large and the production capacity is not enough, you can build a few more production lines, and some things still need to be learned and learned from people.

  How to create more value in a limited time is the kingly way.

   "The appearance of the Freelander and Sunwalker aircraft seems to be similar to my memory, right?"

   Let's take a look at the aircraft produced. The two aircrafts, Freelander and Sunwalker, are similar in design because they are positioned at the mid-range level.

   The overall look is like a bullet of a high-speed rail train, and it looks far less tall than Skywalker and Windrunner.

   "Yes, Freelander and Sunwalker are similar in appearance and structure. The only difference is the front face. The front face of Freelander has a curved design, which looks a little flatter."

   "Of course, in terms of interior and related configuration, Freelander is much higher than Sunwalker's. The basic functions are actually the same, and the speed is similar."

   Tang Peng nodded and said, "The top speed can reach Mach 5!"

   "What about the price?"

   Liu Yuan nodded slightly and asked.

   "Freelander's selling price is more than 1 million yuan. According to some related preparations, the top match will cost more than 2 million yuan."

   "The price of Sun Xingzhe is between 500,000 and 1 million, which is also related to the preparation."

   "We also hired some experts in the automotive field. They said that for products like aircraft and cars, the related formulations are the most profitable, but the production of complete vehicles is not so profitable."

   "Configurations such as panoramic sunroofs, cool chassis lights, and colored tail flames are optional, but adding one at random is tens of thousands of dollars, and the money you make is not bad."

   Tang Peng replied with a smile.

   "The functions are similar, but the price is so different, it's really only for the rich!"

After listening to Liu Yuan, he couldn't help laughing immediately. Thinking about it, those so-called luxury brands never target the poor, they only target the rich. The key is that the rich are also very happy to be caught. The pit, and they are willing to jump into it.

It is nothing more than a face, nothing more than to show one's wealth, status, etc., just like a car, a car of hundreds of thousands can be driven, and a car of hundreds of thousands or millions can also be driven, but a luxury car is a luxury car. Cars, rich people just want to sell expensive ones and not buy the right ones.

  Luxury is even more so. A bag of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands is only for the rich.
