Chapter 108 A biological aircraft that ignores the law of conservation of energy!
At this moment, the passengers who were admiring the flapping-wing aircraft suddenly cheered excitedly. They had never seen such a flight show in space.
The space environment is completely different from that on Earth. A machine that can complete such a difficult flight performance in such a short time, just thinking about it, you will know that it is very expensive!
"Zuma, have you heard the passengers' calls? I think the phone at the LA headquarters has been flooded with calls from many companies."
Leon looked at the stunned Zuma with a smile. He believed that as an engineer, Zuma knew what this thing meant in space.
"Mr. Li Ang, can you tell me where this thing's power comes from and what the wing material is? If it's made of metal machinery, then LA has created a technological miracle!"
Zuma couldn't imagine what material could ignore metal fatigue and withstand such a high-intensity flapping frequency, and he couldn't figure out what the engine of the flapping-wing aircraft was.
Facing the puzzled Zuma, Li Ang did not deliberately hide anything and directly told him all the key information such as the basic structure, principle, and endurance of the flapping-wing aircraft.
After all, such a thing full of bugs cannot be made in real life. Even if the schematic diagram is given to the High Knights, they are helpless.
A flapping-wing fuselage is 22.86 meters long, has a wingspan of 39.3 meters, a net weight of 11 tons, and can normally carry six passengers. The special glass material of the cockpit can withstand sandstorms at speeds of 6 kilometers per hour.
The wing is a four-part pulse blade, and the connection with the fuselage is a wing blade shock absorber balancer, and there is a complete sand filtering system under the fuselage.
The main jet propulsion device at the tail and the auxiliary propulsion systems on both sides of the fuselage allow the flapping-wing aircraft to be agile and fast even in a space environment.
In addition, the energy shield generated by the scallop engine and mechanical device can also protect the body from damage by long-range weapons!
This shield is generated once every three hours and can be stored for use three times, making it an offensive and defensive aircraft.
When he learned that the engine of the flapping-wing aircraft was actually a scallop, even Zuma, who was well-versed in all kinds of cutting-edge scientific knowledge, couldn't help but feel as if his brain was overloaded and his nerves were shut down.
This was the first time he had seen something like a biological aircraft in real life!
Especially when he learned that the engine of the flapping-wing aircraft could meet such huge energy consumption just by capturing microorganisms, Zuma felt that the "law of conservation of energy" that he regarded as the truth was rapidly collapsing.
"You mean... the ornithopter doesn't need any energy supplements like alcohol 2 or helium 3, and can charge the scallops by just feeding on microorganisms in the air?"
Zuma had already sweated a little on his forehead. The energy conversion efficiency of this scallop biological engine was far beyond his imagination.
If the high knights can equip this type of flapping-wing aircraft on a large scale and use it to transport resources, the efficiency will be so high!
Even... taking apart this scallop engine and doing something else with it would be pretty good!
Of course, the prerequisite is that Li Ang agrees to let them do so.
"Yes, the ornithopter has a very low energy consumption requirement. You can just feed it some scraps of meat. After all, the characteristic of this creature is that it eats grass and milks."
"In short, our LA company is committed to spreading human civilization throughout the universe. Making a little gadget like this is just the beginning."
"I'm looking for you to cooperate, not just for the development of the LA company, but to give you a chance to embrace the future."
Leon looked at the flapping-wing machine outside the window, and when he saw that the time was right, he asked Pyrrha to call the machine back. After the limelight, it was time to seriously discuss the deal. When Zuma saw the flapping-wing machine flying back to the docking cabin like an elegant elf, he could hardly contain his excitement.
"Mr. Leon, I can promise you anything you want except the mass projector, but the premise is that it must be something that the High Knights can do!"
In Zuma's impression, the only company on earth that has some achievements in the biological field is Biotech.
However, the research direction of biotechnology is mainly on the genes of animals and humans. Through DNA cutting technology, various cross-species life forms can be cultivated.
This technology first integrates a large amount of DNA into the main experimental target. The useless gene parts will undergo regular disintegration and methylation under the action of attenuating drugs.
Ultimately, only stable and usable integrated genes remain to complete the corresponding biological genetic modification.
But as for the scallop engine of the flapping-wing aircraft, a buggy thing like this that ignores the law of conservation of energy, Zuma simply couldn't believe that it could be achieved by biological genetic technology!
"Zuma, LA Company's request is for your High Knight engineers to build an airport for us. It must have all the basic rocket launch facilities."
"Besides that, you have to provide some core aviation technology to our company's engineers. As for the mass projector, we don't need it for the time being."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Ang simply stated all his demands.
After laying the groundwork for the mass projector and demonstrating the functions of the flapping-wing aircraft, Zuma almost immediately nodded and agreed to Leon.
Obviously, helping LA build an airport is a piece of cake for the High Knights. As long as they can get a flapping-wing aircraft, even if it is leased, it will be worth the money!
"Mr. Li Ang, your request is not excessive. I can sign a cooperation agreement with LA Company and help you build the airport."
Zuma was in a very happy mood. With this thing responsible for transporting resources and goods, the construction of the High Knights' colonial base would be more efficient and convenient!
"Zuma, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
At this point in the negotiation, Li Ang's basic goal had been achieved.
For him, building an airport is actually a small matter. The most important thing is to establish an inseparable relationship of interest transfer with the High Knights!
If we were to say which giant company the LA company feared the most, it would definitely be Orbital Aerospace, which controls space-based weapons. After all, this company does have the ability to "destroy a city with one click."
And this is the confidence that Orbital Aeronautics, ESA and the European Community have in doing business on Earth. This is a gap that cannot be made up by a few nuclear bombs or weapons and equipment.
But now, the cooperation between Leon and Zuma, and the alliance of interests with the High Knights, will make up for the most fatal shortcoming of LA Company.
Today, Leon can calmly sit down and have a good talk with those old guys in the European Community.
Even if the negotiations do not go smoothly, the EC will not dare to use space-based weapons first.
After all, his neighbor, the High Knight, was also targeting him.
