After the initial resolution of the contradictions between the students, Bao Zixuan began to sort out the German technical materials brought back from Poland. And his first project has been clear, that is, the ground effect aircraft.

At this time, it was not long before the Anglo-Argentine War, and the Black Cloud Group was still just an ordinary technology company. It has not obtained a military license, if Heiyun has developed a ground-effect aircraft before this. At the height of the war, the British military would inevitably place an order to the Black Cloud Group, and the British would not take the initiative to send the military license at that time.

Bao Zixuan was checking the information of the engineers and senior technicians of the entire Black Cloud Group, and as long as he saw it, he would draw a stroke on the back. No matter where they are at this time, these people will be asked to report to Yulin Institute of Technology immediately, and all those who receive the notice must immediately put down their work.

This order can be said to have caused an uproar in the entire group, and many people do not understand it very well. However, seeing that the appointment signed directly by the boss chose to be implemented unconditionally, after all, this is the first time in the history of the group. The boss must have some special major project, otherwise it would not be possible to be in such a hurry.

And on the premise of dragging down the progress of other projects, Bao Zixuan, who is from science and engineering, will not know that many of the people who were transferred over were the leaders of various projects. Once they are not there, the progress of the project cannot be guaranteed at all, and the economic loss to the group is very large.

During the vigorous development of Tin Shui Wai, Bao Zixuan had a large one-room office designed. It can be said that there are more than mistakes in playing basketball in this office, although his two classmates did not understand, but they still designed according to the plan.

The people who received the order arrived here one after another, looking at the empty field. None of them knew exactly what the boss was going to do, but they believed that there would be an answer soon.

Bao Zixuan looked at the people who came over and said, "I'm glad that we can work together here, you should be very curious why I want you to put down your work and come here to report." ”

"Because there is an important project for you and me to work on, I decided to set up a factory here. We are all workers in this factory, which is completely benchmarked against the skunk factory of the American company Lockheed. ”

"A lot of people still don't understand what Skunk Works is, which is the officially recognized nickname for Lockheed's advanced development projects. Skunk Works, which is mainly engaged in secret research programs, has developed many of Loma's famous aircraft products, including the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, the SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, and according to reliable information, they are about to develop the world's first stealth aircraft. ”

"In fact, as early as 1943, the Skunk Factory has been created, that is, the pre-research group of the aviation branch, carrying the basic research of key technologies, when Lockheed was first established for the United States Air Force to produce the first batch of combat jet fighters XP-80, at this stage, the team has made a series of brilliant achievements in the research of high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and stealth fighters. ”

"With its enterprise-oriented operation and humanized management, Skunk Works has led a group of enterprising professional engineers to develop the most confidential and advanced weapons products in the United States' defense science and technology with incomparable creativity, and is also known for its rapid and effective cost control, thus becoming a benchmark for large companies engaged in high-tech industries around the world to emulate and learn. ”

"From its humble warehouse-style office, more than 10 engineers, and weak model project base, to the high-efficiency innovation team that leads the research and development of America's most secret advanced technology, the legendary Skunk Works has beautifully completed multiple jumps in just a few decades, and has maintained its vigorous development momentum today, which is inseparable from its unique and advanced management philosophy and approach. ”

"Lockheed has a skunk factory, and the Black Cloud Group can't be left behind. Today I announce the establishment of the Weasel Factory of the Black Cloud Group, and you are all the first workers of the Weasel Factory, and I am the director of this factory. ”

"We worked and lived together for the next period of time, and our daily goal was to discuss how to improve the product and meet the design requirements. ”

"Now you have half an hour to decide if you want to join Skunk Works, and if you do, the pay is 1.2 times what it is now. But you'll have to eat and drink here for the next few months, and those who decide to join the team will have half an hour to call their families. ”

At this time, an engineer said, "Boss, are we going to work here all the time in the future?" ”

Bao Zixuan: "The weasel factory only organizes everyone together when it encounters major projects that need to be tackled, and you can usually develop products that you are interested in." ”

Sure enough, Bao Zixuan was not disappointed, and all 199 people chose to stay. Salary is one thing, and everyone is curious about what major projects the boss needs so many of them to complete together. Every R&D person has a strong curiosity, otherwise they would not be able to do this job.

After seeing everyone come back, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Since you have chosen to stay, then I must also be worthy of your trust." Your salary will continue to be increased as usual, and you will receive a corresponding bonus at the end of each project. ”

At this time, everyone cheered, after all, it was not that much. Your salary will be improved, what is there not to be satisfied with!

Bao Zixuan continued: "The first project to be tackled in the weasel factory has been sorted out, and I have also carried out the relevant design. ”

"We're going to focus on the ground effect, also known as the wing-to-ground effect or the airfoil effect, which is the aerodynamic disturbance of a moving object as it moves close to the ground. When the aircraft is flying or operating close to the ground, the ground affects the flow characteristics of the air around the aircraft. The ground effect can occur in low-flying airplanes or helicopters, but also in automobiles and motorboats. It is a kind of hydrodynamic effect that makes the aircraft-induced drag decrease, and at the same time can obtain a higher lift-to-drag ratio than that of air flight: when the moving aircraft falls very close to the ground (or water surface), the up-and-down pressure difference of the entire aircraft body increases, and the lift force will increase sharply. ”

"I used this principle to design a flying machine and named it a ground effect aircraft. ”

At this time, many people began to argue, after all, this span is too big. To give them a process of adaptation, many people can't easily understand it for a while.

Although there are engineers here who are engaged in aircraft engines, they know that the engine thrust required to achieve this ground effect is very large, and if it is only to push a few tens of tons of aircraft, it does not need so much effort, and the ability of the boss alone is enough.

This requires a design that integrates airplanes, ships, and trains, with aircraft capable of flying on the ground and on the water. Moreover, there can be no runway, so it can be said that solving the upward lift of the engine alone requires a lot of challenges.

Bao Zixuan didn't bother them, just let them get used to it. After all, this is the first day of reporting, and people and things need to be familiarized.

This weasel factory, which is completely modeled after the Skunk Factory, was established in Tin Shui Wai in a low-key manner, but when he really came into people's field of vision. Only then did everyone realize that this factory was changing the world.

Unlike Skunk Works, which only researches military products, Weasel Works does everything. As long as it is related to high-tech, there is nothing that he does not develop, and it can be said that it is an alternative to the world's scientific research institutions.

And the people here have a common trait, that is, they don't want to die when they work. During the intensive R&D, the average working time is more than 14 hours, and it can be said that every minute and every second is worthy of the salary given to them by the boss. It is this dedication that has created the legend of the weasel factory and Bao Zixuan, so that future generations can only worship it.

Later generations of scholars are discussing why Bao Zixuan gave the factory this name, and many people do not understand. Even the engineers who worked inside didn't know exactly what the allusion and reason were, until Bao Zixuan retired completely. The person who took over the factory asked, and Bao Zixuan just replied: "The weasel didn't have a good heart to give the chickens a New Year's greeting."
