Through the conversation between the ground tower and the pilot, more useful information could be analyzed.
The content of this call had been translated by Valentine, who was proficient in Chinese.
Some of the conversations were highlighted by Consul Edward and listed as topics to be discussed in the meeting.
"Tower, tower, this is Banshee 149. We have switched to automatic cruise mode. We are now flying at an altitude of 12,000 kilometers and a speed of 750 kilometers."
"Tower received. The radar scan height is correct and the speed is correct."
"149, your cruise route has a mileage of 1,300 kilometers. The weather conditions on the route are good. Please report the remaining 'fuel' of the aircraft. "
"Tower, we have 90% of the remaining energy."
In the information, the words "fuel" were marked in red.
Because everyone knew that the Banshee aircraft used a special battery with an extremely high energy density. The tower asked about the "fuel", which was just a habit of words. Therefore, when the pilot reported that the remaining energy was 90%, it actually meant that the Banshee aircraft still had 90% power left.
The flights from Shang Hai to Qianzhou Province all traveled more than 1,400 kilometers.
The conversation of the tower asking the pilot about the remaining fuel continued until the Banshee aircraft landed at the airport.
In the last conversation, the pilot reported, "Tower, tower, we have landed. The remaining energy is 26%."
They used 64% of the energy to travel nearly 1,500 kilometers.
With this conversation, the group of people in the conference room could easily calculate the maximum range of the Banshee aircraft.
The maximum range of the Banshee aircraft was about 2,600 kilometers.
What kind of concept was this?
If the Banshee aircraft set off from the central region of Hua Xia, it could already fly to the entire country of Hua Xia without any replenishment. Even if it flew from the farthest southern border of Hua Xia to the northern border, it only needed to stop once to replenish its energy.
At first, these big shots sitting in the conference room thought that the Banshee aircraft used batteries to power it, so it would definitely have the common problems of the new energy transportation industry.
For example, charging was slow.
A traditional plane only needed 20 minutes to replenish its fuel. However, an electric car needed at least five hours of charging time to replenish its energy.
Listen to the conversation between the tower and the Banshee pilot.
"Tower, the Banshee aircraft has been connected to the electric pile to replenish its energy. The replenishment time is one hour."
"Tower, we have disconnected from the electric pile. The energy has been replenished from 26% to 87%. Now that the cabin door has been opened, the last batch of passengers has begun boarding. "
Was this conversation heart-wrenching enough?
From these numbers, it could be calculated that the time it took for the Banshee Aircraft to be fully charged was no more than two hours.
This time seemed to be very long, but a traditional aircraft only needed 20 minutes to refuel. However, after the flight, refueling was not the only task.
From the moment the plane successfully docked with the passengers, the flight crew had to help the passengers get off the plane. The ground crew was divided into many departments, and they began to work intensely.
Some were responsible for replenishing the in-flight meals and drinking water on the plane, some were responsible for cleaning up the sewage and waste left behind when passengers used the restrooms, and some were responsible for unloading passengers' luggage and sending it to the luggage area.
Every flight not only carried people, but also air mail, which took time to load and unload. The pilots also needed to rest and relax.
Every airline, depending on the itinerary and the degree of busyness, did not set a fixed resting time for each flight after landing, but it was almost never shorter than an hour.
The Banshee Aircraft could fly all day without any gaps without changing the battery pack.
The most heart-wrenching was yet to come.
This Banshee 149, on the journey from Qianzhou Province to Shanghai, not only maintained contact with the base airport. During the flight, when it passed by other airports, those airport towers would also be very enthusiastic and rare, connecting with the two pilots to talk.
"149, this is Huanghua Airport Tower."
"149 received, please tell me the content of the call."
"This is Huanghua Airport Tower. You guys are too awesome. It's only been two days, and your Banshee Aircraft is flying all over Hua Xia. We didn't receive any news beforehand. You guys did a good job of keeping it a secret. "
"Now, these domestic airlines are saying that traditional planes will definitely be eliminated in the future. Selling the Boeing Airbus planes in your hands as soon as possible is the right choice."
"They definitely can't be sold in the country. Then, these planes can only be sold overseas in the future."
"That's right!" The pilot of the Banshee 149 replied, "Boeing and Airbus, these two companies, just wait to sell their asses in the future. Hua Xia's airlines, now, no one will order the A320 and 737 series. Foreign airlines want to buy the Banshee Aircraft, but it's impossible for them to buy it. "
"Maybe, buying the discounted second-hand planes that have been eliminated in our country is a good choice."
"Then, no one will buy the new planes of Boeing and Airbus?"
"That's for sure. Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. It's time for these two companies to be finished.
"Haha."
Even the pilots and tower staff could understand the truth. These big shots sitting in the conference room certainly understood it more deeply.
Sitting and waiting for death was not the choice of this group of capitalists.
"That's the intelligence. Also, I'll tell everyone a piece of news." Chief Governor Edward looked at the silent crowd and slowly said, "I not only commissioned investigators to investigate the information on the plane, but also commissioned other intelligence departments to investigate the production base of Monster Industries."
"But the situation is not optimistic."
"The two investigators replied that the production base of Monster Industries is completely impossible to invade."
"What do you mean?" Technical Executive Beemis licked his dry lips. The boss' words had a meaning. He said that he commissioned other intelligence departments, not intelligence companies.
Everyone had a tacit understanding of the difference in this.
Of course, the intelligence department was of a higher level and was under the management of the military.
"It means that it is impossible to invade."
"The production base of Banshee aircraft is located in the Longxitan factory. The investigators went there to observe for two full days, but they did not find any breakthrough. "
Chief Governor Edward's gaze became calm. "The other factory has never openly recruited any core workers."
"I don't know how they did it, but this is the truth."
"Have you ever tried to bribe them with money?" Technical Executive Beemis interrupted. "Not to mention Hua Xia, even here at our Boeing production base, there have been hundreds of spies, if not a thousand."
"I don't think anyone has forgotten the case seven years ago."
"Let's not talk about the past." Chief Governor Edward motioned to not mention this topic again.
"Bribing with money is indeed a way."
"The number of workers in the Longxitan factory is unknown, but I believe that it is impossible for everyone to be a hero like Zhuo Ya."
Edward smiled and teased, "Boeing produces an average of five spies a year, and four of them are tempted by money."
