After hanging up the phone, Wang Dazhi was still a little confused: What is the situation? What happened?

Although I don't know exactly what happened, one thing is certain, that is, Director Xiang's attitude has suddenly changed so much in the heavy helicopter, there must be a very big stimulus! Only this stimulus is big enough to make the above change their attitude in such a short period of time.

Inexplicably, Wang Dazhi thought of Chen Geng: Maybe Chairman Chen knows what happened?

Look at the time, Chen Dong should not have slept at this time, Wang Dazhi picked up the phone and dialed out, after a while, the phone was connected, Wang Dazhi reported this strange thing to Chen Geng, and also expressed his doubts.

Chen Geng understood when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Probably Little George was elected." ”

“......”

Wang Dazhi was a little confused: The reason why the above suddenly supported the development of a heavy-duty helicopter by COMAC was because George Jr. was elected?

Fortunately, although Wang Dazhi doesn't quite understand what happened, one thing can be certain, that is, the sudden change in the attitude of the director, or the Science and Technology Committee on this matter, does have something to do with his own chairman, and even this is expected by his own chairman, thinking of this, Wang Dazhi was immediately relieved, and he asked tentatively: "That...... Chairman, what do you give me to the director, and I will rest assured that I will continue?"

Hearing Wang Dazhi's cautious tone, Chen Geng's smile became happier and happier: "Old Wang, let me tell you, you can not only rest assured, but even ask for a little more...... You can rest assured, Director Xiang, they are ready to be slaughtered by you. ”

So amazing?

Hearing Chen Geng say this, Wang Dazhi was very surprised.

Surprised, with Chen Geng's words, Wang Dazhi was completely relieved, and he immediately said: "That...... Chairman, do you have any instructions for this project?"

"If you want to say what you are told, don't ......" Wang Dazhi thought for a while and said: "You and the director say hello, be as low-key as possible, and carry out the project as it should be, but it is best not to report on the project, I believe you understand the reason." ”

Wang Dazhi nodded hurriedly: "I understand." ”

In Wang Dazhi's view, this is probably the agreement reached between Chen Geng and Sikorsky: if he does not publicize or report on his side, Sikorsky will not have it.

Also!

In any case, this plane is still an imitation of the "aerial crane" of the Chinese people, and it is quietly equipped with some equipment, as long as the army itself does not say it, the Americans will pretend not to know even if they know it, but if they shout loudly on their side, then they can no longer expect people to pretend not to see it.

"Okay, that's it, come on," Chen Geng encouraged, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked Wang Dazhi: "I heard that Victor is full of confidence, and he plans to complete the prototype in 10 months?"

As soon as he said this, Wang Dazhi became proud: "Boss, tell you a news that you will never believe, Victor has made the final reducer." ”

"Huh?" Hearing Wang Dazhi say this, Chen Geng was also a little surprised: "The final reducer has already been made?"

"Yes," Wang Dazhi said proudly: "And our main reducer is better than the performance of the main reducer mounted on the 'aerial crane', the maximum allowable input power is as high as 8500 horsepower, Victor told me, and then he will continue to improve this reducer and the engine, and the ultimate goal is to make the maximum allowable input power of this reducer 11000 shaft horsepower." ”

"Not bad," Chen Geng was also very happy to hear Wang Dazhi say this, which also means that the commercial aviation version of the "aerial crane" was more immediate than the Sikorsky version of the "aerial crane" when it started, and he was already about to hang up the phone, and immediately asked again: "What about the rotors?

"Everything goes well!" Speaking of the manufacture of the main rotor, Wang Dazhi became more and more happy: "Because of the complete set of manufacturing technology and materials of the main rotor of the Mi-26, the R&D and manufacturing process of the rotor is very smooth, and it is expected that the first set of main rotors will be manufactured next month." ”

Chen Geng became happier and happier when he heard this, he thought about it and said: "Don't just think about making airplanes, you can provide a lot of auxiliary accessories for the 'aerial crane', for example, can you develop a 2-ton, 3-ton or 5-ton special fuel tank for transfer, and hang it directly on the back hanging point?"

Or could we develop a personnel transport compartment with air conditioning and supercharging based on our low-power turboshaft engines?

In addition, some of our border posts cannot be resupplied in winter, since the carrying capacity of this helicopter is so powerful, can we optimize it for the plateau environment, design a pod, and then directly replenish these posts when the snow covers the mountains?

There are also fire kits for fire fighting and extinguishing of fires...... In short, don't just make the aircraft itself, you can also find ways to develop some of the surrounding uses......"

Chen Geng's words that he had never thought of before, but the real uses, made Wang Dazhi's eyes open: yes, why don't we develop some functional pods and vigorously expand the use of this helicopter?

..................

After ending the call, Wang Dazhi went directly to Viktor Vladimirovich Kapaya's project team and told him Chen Geng's idea. Kapaya was amazed and amazed by Chen Geng's small ideas: these are actually small things with little technical content, but the practical uses are extremely wide, such as the idea of using the existing small turboshaft engine to design a supercharged air-conditioned cockpit for personnel transportation is very good. The addition of the cockpit with the air conditioning system allows the soldiers to arrive at their destination in a more comfortable way when performing personnel transportation tasks, and a more comfortable transportation environment means less energy is consumed, which means that the soldiers can be in a more energetic state and directly devote themselves to various tasks as soon as they get off the plane, which is simply fantastic.

So naturally, Viktor Vladimirovich Kapaja had no opinion on the company's request to set up such a peripheral auxiliary facilities group under its own project team.

Since Viktor Vladimirovich Kapaja has no opinion, Wang Dazhi should be ready to go to Beijing.
