Chapter 229, ‘Whale’ Large Antigravity Passenger Vehicle
Xinghai Aerospace Industrial Base, Longlin Town, Ningcheng County.
In a huge factory building, thousands of engineers are busy around a large anti-gravity aircraft, which is about to be delivered.
Unlike ordinary civil airliners, ordinary passenger planes are numbered and do not have their own independent names, but the large anti-gravity aircraft produced by Xinghai Technology have their own names and independent numbers.
This is the same as the ships sailing on the ocean. Every large ship will have its own name.
The large anti-gravity aircraft that is about to be delivered in front of me has three big characters “Whale” written on its outer shell.
“It’s not easy. It took us a few months to build such a large anti-gravity aircraft for the first time. When we built the Kunpeng air carrier, it took more than a month to complete.”
Tang Peng couldn’t help but sigh when he saw the huge ‘Whale’ in front of him.
Now there are more and more anti-gravity aircraft, Skywalkers flying in the sky can often see it, and Xinghai Technology has finally produced the first large-scale anti-gravity aircraft.
“That can’t be compared!”
“That is to concentrate the manpower, material and financial resources of the entire Guo family, working overtime without rest, even if it is designed and built from scratch, it must be much faster than us.”
“We still took some advantage. Many parts and components can be directly sent to the Kunpeng ship, so you can directly place orders for those manufacturers.”
“In addition, we also participated in the construction and design, many things have already been understood, just need to change a little.”
Wang Chen smiled and shook his head.
The two walked inside the ‘Whale’ and took a closer look at every place inside the Whale.
This ‘Whale’ large anti-gravity aircraft is more than 50 meters high, equivalent to a ten-story building, more than 100 meters long and more than 30 meters wide.
A total of nine floors have been designed. The top floor is the first-class cabin. There are more than 100 seats. Each seat is a private small room, which is a bit like a private jet.
The seventh and eighth floors are business class. There are more than 300 seats on each floor. Each seat is very wide, which is equivalent to the first class of an ordinary airliner, and basically all are by the window. Convenient to enjoy the view outside.
The sixth, fifth, fourth and third floors are normal economy class, each with more than 1,000 seats, and even with so many seats, the seats are still very spacious, because the ‘Whale’ Its size is too large and has enough space.
It is not necessary to use every inch of space as much as possible like an ordinary airliner, to make the seats very small and crowded, and the comfort is extremely poor.
The first and second floors are the largest floors, occupying almost one-third of the height and space. This warehouse is used to transport goods.
The ‘Whale’ is really too big, it can take nearly 5,000 people at a time, and this is just because there may not be so many passengers in one way, so there are not so many places designed.
If all the seats are designed to take passengers, the number of passengers on the ‘Whale’ can even exceed seven or eight thousand people at one time.
So we still need to use part of the space for cargo transportation, which is also a design made after detailed and in-depth communication and research with the airline.
In this way, not only passengers but also cargo can be transported, maximizing its shipping value and earning more money for airlines.
Only when airlines make more money, more people will buy Xinghai Technology’s large anti-gravity aircraft.
You must know that the large anti-gravity aircraft of the ‘Whale’ in front of you, the price of Xinghai Technology is more than 5 billion fruit coins, which is quite expensive.
The airline buys such an expensive aircraft from you, naturally, it is to make money, and it must reflect its value.
Of course, Xinghai Technology’s quotation of more than 5 billion is not a random quotation.
In the past, a broadcast 747 large passenger plane, its price was about 2.2 billion fruit coins, and it could only take 500 people, but the Whale large anti-gravity aircraft, it can take more than 5,000 people at a time.
In terms of the number of simple passengers, the Whale is about ten times that of the broadcast 747. In addition, the Whale can also carry a large amount of cargo, and its cargo volume is enough to compare with large cargo ships.
In addition, in terms of maintenance and fuel consumption, the ‘Whale’ with an anti-gravity engine is completely out of the traditional passenger plane. Even in terms of fuel consumption, regardless of the size of the whale, it can take thousands of people and a large amount of cargo, but the fuel consumption is not the same. Not much more than a conventional airliner.
This is also a natural advantage of the anti-gravity engine, because it adopts hybrid engine technology, anti-gravity engine and jet engine, which does not need to use a lot of power to overcome gravity, and the fuel consumption is naturally lower.
Based on all aspects of analysis, large anti-gravity aircraft are all about to blow up traditional airliners, so the price of 5 billion fruit coins is still a friendly price, which is generally sold by Xinghai Technology in order to open up the market. .
You must know that in order to build this large-scale anti-gravity aircraft ‘Whale’, Xinghai Technology spent a huge amount of money.
For safety, the designers equipped the Whale with two large anti-gravity engines, all of which need to be powered by electricity.
It is absolutely impossible for such a huge aircraft to use batteries, and it is necessary to install a large-scale generator set to supply its power needs.
Each large anti-gravity engine needs to be equipped with two large generator sets, and all of them need to be customized. There are four in total. Each Xinghai Technology side costs more than five million, and the generator set alone needs 20 million cost.
In addition, in order to have enough speed, the Whale is also equipped with eight large-scale aero-engines designed and manufactured by Xinghai Technology. The cost of each one exceeds 20 million, which is 180 million.
In addition to other miscellaneous costs, there are thousands of tons of steel used alone, and each piece of steel needs special customization and requires different materials.
And every piece of glass on the aircraft is also a special customized glass, not ordinary glass, plus a variety of expensive instruments, equipment and the like.
Calculated, the manufacturing cost of this large-scale anti-gravity aircraft ‘Whale’ exceeded 500 million yuan. Xinghai Technology sold it for more than 500 million yuan, which is really not very profitable.
At least compared with other products of Xinghai Technology, building this large anti-gravity aircraft really doesn’t make much money. You must know that other products are basically a lot of money, and the cost of dozens of yuan can buy you thousands of yuan. profit.
Now the cost is only 500 million yuan, and the selling price is only more than 500 million yuan. It really is not profitable.
On the contrary, some related supporting companies make a lot of money. If nothing else, just for the company that provides seats to Xinghai Technology, the price for a special seat is thousands, and this time it needs nearly 5,000 seats. After all, this is almost a business of nearly 10 million.
And this is just a business with the least technical content, doing chairs.
The company that provides generator sets to Xinghai Technology is really laughing. Originally, the business of generators is getting worse and worse, and life is very sad.
Who knew that Xinghai Technology would smash a big list all of a sudden.
A large anti-gravity aircraft needs four generator sets. If Xinghai Technology can produce thousands of large anti-gravity aircraft a year, it will need more than 4,000 generator sets in that year.
The price of this set of generator sets is several million, which is a big business of 20 billion.
Above 20 billion is naturally nothing to Xinghai Technology, but for ordinary small and medium-sized enterprises, it is definitely a large number.
A company that can achieve an output value of tens of billions of dollars a year can be regarded as a large company or a large enterprise.
Not to mention doing business with Xinghai Technology, the profit is of course needless to say, absolutely appropriate, enough to support a large manufacturing enterprise.
The production of motor units also requires a large number of supporting industries and enterprises, and can also drive the development of a number of manufacturing industries and industries.
This is just a supporting enterprise and industry. To manufacture a large anti-gravity aircraft, it needs tens of thousands of parts and components. Maybe a single screw can support an enterprise and many people.
The tens of thousands of components needed can drive tens of thousands of manufacturers, and tens of thousands of manufacturers can drive hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of manufacturers.
This is the huge role of the large-scale manufacturing industry, which is very helpful for driving the development and upgrading of the industrial chain, and more importantly, it is very helpful for promoting economic growth and employment.
This is also the reason why any manufacturing industry can be abandoned on the beautiful fruit side, but the aircraft manufacturing industry cannot be abandoned, because this is a large-scale manufacturing industry with real technology content, which can drive a large number of jobs and the development of technology industries.
Of course, manufacturing is manufacturing, and profits are naturally incomparable with other industries.
Even if it is a high-tech thief like Xinghai Technology, the profit is actually very ordinary in comparison. It can’t make much money, and it takes a lot of time. After all, it can be made in one year. Not many racks.
Of course, this super-large anti-gravity aircraft will definitely not be the mainstream, and the real mainstream will definitely be more miniaturized anti-gravity aircraft and private anti-gravity aircraft.
This large talent and high profit is the main direction of Xinghai Technology in the future.
