Kong Tao returned in defeat. After returning, he naturally had to report the contents of this discussion to Ye Qing.
Kong Tao, who was kicked out of the door, was not too angry. Looking at it from another perspective, with Red Seal's current good development situation, no one would be willing to sell the company.
Of course, Chang Yuyue did not give him a chance to finish his words, otherwise, Chang Yuyue would have considered it carefully.
"Okay, then I will personally go in two days." Ye Qing did not expect the acquisition to be successful.
Most of the mergers and acquisitions between companies happened to small companies that were doing well and large companies that were in financial trouble. Red Seal was of course a large company. Once it was acquired, it would be on the news.
No one would be willing to sell this kind of company, but since Ye Qing was determined to acquire Red Seal, he was still confident.
The time to visit Red Seal was set for two days later. In these two days, Ye Qing was still focused on the factory. In addition to mobilizing all the monster workers to put into the production line of the exquisite aircraft, Ye Qing also made an exception to let the company's Construction Department be responsible for the warehouse next to the production base.
There were really no monsters available, but fortunately, the Construction Department had mature experience in building energy service centers, so there was no problem in helping to build the exquisite aircraft warehouse without any technical content. The construction site was not within the factory walls, so there was no risk of leakage.
The industrial version of the exquisite aircraft was 24 meters long, 8 meters wide (the width of the body, not including the ducted fan), and 7 meters tall.
Compared to the Boeing 737 series' 35 meters long and nearly 30 meters wide wingspan, the exquisite aircraft could be described as a supercar. Not only was its physique slim, but it also did not need to burn oil.
Traditional aircraft used jet engines as power, often carrying one-third of its weight in aviation fuel for a long-distance flight.
The 737-900 series, fully loaded with 30 tons of fuel, and the body weight was 60 tons. Of course, under normal circumstances, it would not be fully loaded with fuel.
This was no different from a huge waste. 30 tons of fuel, if used on a heavy truck, it could pull 100 tons of cargo, more than one lap around the earth.
The exquisite aircraft only carried a four-ton plasma battery as its energy source. By superimposing the energy source, its flight range could be extended to 5,000 kilometers or 8,000 kilometers. This would sacrifice a certain amount of load, but Ye Qing currently only focused on domestic passenger transport. He also brought in air courier to make money, so there was no need to stack energy.
Flying from the southernmost point of Hua Xia to the northernmost point only required one stop in the middle to change the power pack. The energy unit was a quick disassembly module, and with the help of a special machine, it only took five minutes to change it.
…
Ye Qing first asked the monster workers to create a shell according to the exquisite drawings of the aircraft.
Whether it was the cargo compartment, the passenger cabin, the cockpit, or the cargo compartment, everything was strictly based on the structure of a real aircraft.
To prepare for a rainy day, Ye Qing wanted to complete the layout of the exquisite aircraft's passenger cabin and cargo hold within the two days before they set off for Tianfu City. In addition, the non-essential system parts on the aircraft that can be outsourced can also be found by the company in advance.
The exquisite aircraft was a quadcopter, and its appearance was very different from the traditional quadcopter model aircraft.
Standing in the warehouse and looking at the huge model without a power system, Ye Qing felt that it was quite similar to the Stage Seven Lord's Battleship.
Streamlined appearance, slender fuselage, four double-leaf fan propulsion systems in a Z-shaped high and low structure, distributed on both sides of the fuselage. The double-leaf fans were integrated in the ducts, so not only was the size of the fan much smaller than the propeller structure, its noise was lower, and its propulsion speed was faster.
The ducted fan was more like the jet engine on a passenger plane, except the latter could spit fire. The ducted fan design was now considered by many airlines as the best choice for the next generation of high-speed vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
Not only was the diameter of the fan much smaller than the traditional propeller, but when flying, the ducts could also protect the fan from being disturbed by the external air flow, reduce the friction resistance between the tip of the fan and the air, and avoid the risk of the fan hitting obstacles.
It had a lot of advantages, but its disadvantages were also very obvious.
Because the ducted fan was small, its appearance was similar to the jet engine of a 737, so when it was working, the fan speed was much higher than the speed of the propeller plane.
The requirements for the fan material were very, very strict, and at the same time, the edge of the fan and the ducts had to be tightly attached. The smaller the gap in the middle, the better the performance of the ducted fan. It was just that when the fan was operating at high speed, it was inevitable that there would be slight deformation due to the vibration of the fan itself, so currently, some ducted fans did not dare to stick the fan too close to the ducts.
It was like the cylinder of a car engine, the bigger the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall, the more serious the waste of power.
According to the volume of the ducted fan of the Exquisite Aircraft, even if Boeing came, it would leave a gap of five millimeters, and Monster Industries left a gap of 0.1 millimeters. But then again, Boeing did not have the technology to make this kind of ducted fan, and this was not only a problem of the fan material and precision, but the engine was more important.
Ye Qing was very satisfied with the appearance of the Exquisite Aircraft. Just from the appearance, it was more like a sci-fi transport aircraft with a turbofan engine. Now it was painted with a yellow anti-rust layer, if it was painted pure white or pure black, and with the cool logo of Monster Industries, its appearance would be ten streets ahead of other aircraft.
The Exquisite Aircraft had a total of three cabin doors, two cabin doors were located on the left and right sides of the fuselage, and the rear of the fuselage was slanted and could be opened as a whole like a cargo plane.
Walking into the interior of the fuselage through the open cargo compartment, Ye Qing felt as if he had walked into a spacious basketball court.
Because the Exquisite Aircraft in front of him was still an industrial version, there were no compartments in the fuselage, and it was suitable for loading goods, but the interior of the aircraft needed to be designed to hold people.
Looking at the interior space in front of him, it was seven meters wide, eighteen meters long, and six meters high. Ye Qing felt that if it was transformed into a three-story cabin, it would have no problem holding 450 people. If the lower floor was changed into a luggage warehouse, and the middle and upper floors used a 3/4/3 aircraft seat layout, it could also hold 300 people.
However, 450 people would be easily overweight, and 300 people would be seated, at 150 kilograms per person, about 22 tons, and the remaining 8 tons would be more than enough for luggage.
"Right, there is also the weight of the attached seat compartment." Ye Qing tried to calculate in his mind the weight of using lightweight materials to design the seats, washrooms, floors, and service facilities, and finally came to the conclusion that if 300 people were seated, there would not be enough space to hold the express delivery.
Air express delivery was also a profitable business. The Exquisite Aircraft could fly to other cities and deliver a few tons of online express deliveries. It was not worse than selling tickets, and this could also increase the importance of the Exquisite Aircraft's versatility.
Therefore, Ye Qing thought about it and decided to cut the number of passengers to 240, not including the flight crew.
This way, the cabin space would be extremely spacious.
The Boeing 737 had about 90 to 150 passengers, and these people were squeezed into a narrow cabin that was more than three meters wide. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a sardine can.
The cabin of the Exquisite Aircraft was seven meters wide, and 240 passengers could sit in it as comfortable as sitting in a luxury Mercedes-Benz caravan.
The front and back seats were one meter apart, and it would not be a problem to sleep in it as a sleeper.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing used his 3D camera to take a picture of the cabin, and then returned to his office. He cut out the cabin space blueprint and sent it to the company's design department, telling them to design the interior of the cabin in two days.
He would take these blueprints to Tianfu City, and Ye Qing would be responsible for the design of the seats.
The Chair Monster Industries was the strongest in the world.
Whether it was the Mechanical Engineered Chair or the Thunderbolt car seats, they were all highly sought after by users.
In addition, the Exquisite Aircraft on the blueprint, whether it was the outer shell or the load-bearing structure, were all made from aluminum and titanium alloys that were already on the market. Because it was only an industrial version of the aircraft, it was fine as long as it could be mass produced cheaply.
Ye Qing felt that using better lightweight alloys to make the fuselage could also reduce the weight of the aircraft.
