Chapter 727: AVIC's Concept
"Mr. Hu, is the situation in the Soviet Union really so serious?"
A voice suddenly sounded at the door of Hu Wenhai's conference room, which was used as a reception room, and Jiang Hefu and the other three people in the room, who had recovered from their shocked emotions, turned around, only to see that a group of people had already appeared next to Chen Fa, who pushed the door open. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The problems of the USSR are really big, but to say that it will disintegrate......"
Secretary Huang's face sank like water, and his face was full of disbelief. If this was the conclusion of experts, scholars and professors from the Institute of International Politics, Secretary Huang would laugh it off at most. There are many predictions like this that are ten or a hundred times more exaggerated than the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Some undisciplined research institutes or foreign think tanks simply engage in internal division of labor and cooperation. There are predictions that there will be a coup d'Γ©tat in the Soviet Union, there are predictions that the Soviet Union will succeed in reform, there are predictions that the map head will be assassinated, and there are predictions that the map head will be killed back. Of course, there are also those who predict the possible collapse of the Soviet Union, and there are even several versions of its disintegration. There are also predictions that the Soviet hawks will fight back and embark on the path of military dictatorship, or that the desperate army will launch nuclear bombs and drag all of humanity to perish......
But Secretary Huang knows what these so-called analysis articles and research results are all about, and they cannot be used as a basis for decision-making. However, when similar remarks appear in Hu Wenhai's mouth, this is something that must be taken seriously.
If there is an authoritative expert on the Soviet Union in China, then Hu Wenhai has long been the only one of them.
The Soviet Union meant extraordinary to Secretary Huang, to everyone present, to China's current top leaders, and even to all Chinese.
Although it was called Soviet repair and Soviet repair for decades, the Soviet Union was, after all, the first communist country in the world. No matter how much they don't admit it, the Soviet Union is still a monument in the hearts of the Chinese, a strong "big brother".
Suddenly, one day, this big brother was about to collapse. The psychological impact on contemporary Chinese can be imagined.
Although it is not yet "the sky has fallen", since then, there are no more fellow travelers in the ideals that the Chinese adhere to in the entire Blue Star. Loneliness, confusion, helplessness, inner panic and not knowing where to go. Like that long night walking alone in the frozen primeval forests of Canada, the loneliness and the horror of facing a world full of malice alone is enough to completely collapse the faith of those who are not strong enough.
Although the collapse of the Soviet Union was by no means the worst case, it was already too bad for the development of world communism.
Thinking of the possible impact of this on China, on which the country's policies are likely to be formulated in the next ten years, Secretary Huang had to take the most cautious approach.
"Mr. Hu, can you elaborate on why you think the Soviet Union will collapse?"
Hu Wenhai turned around and took a thick document from the desk and put it on the coffee table: "Secretary Huang sit down first, it just so happens that I have just finished writing a report here." If you have time and convenience, please help me transfer it to the central government. β
"This is no problem, I will definitely send Mr. Hu's report. Secretary Huang cherished the document and put it away, but he didn't see the contents at a glance.
Hu Wenhai now wants to send something to the above, in fact, he doesn't need to hand it over, even if it is a small note he writes, it will be summarized and reported to the above. Since he handed over this document to himself, it goes without saying that it was actually going to be handed over to the leader who stood behind him.
I am afraid that the content of this is not a simple analysis of the situation in the Soviet Union.
Hu Wenhai raised his head, smiled and greeted warmly: "Everyone sit down, although it is estimated that we will have to bear it ourselves when the sky falls in the future, but after all, the sky will not fall for a while! The problem of the Soviet Union is very big, but that is only the problem of the Soviet Union." Living our own lives is all that matters. β
There were quite a few people who came in with Secretary Huang, and after everyone sat down, Secretary Huang began to introduce their identities.
"There is no need to introduce the president of COMAC, Vice President Li Xu is always the assistant to Minister Mo before the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and he is the plenipotentiary representative of Minister Mo here today. This is Secretary Qian of the Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, Director Zhao of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and Director Sun of the Military Industry Office of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. β
Every time Secretary Huang introduced someone, he would enthusiastically get up and shake hands with Hu Wenhai when he called his name, exuding a heartfelt smile on his face.
"There are also Director Han of Institute 606 and Director Shen of Institute 608, Director Tian of Institute 614 and Director Fang of Institute 649. After Secretary Huang introduced a part of this side, he turned his head and introduced the other side: "There are also Director Feng of Factory 410, Director Liu of Factory 420, Director Wang of Factory 430 and Director Gao of Factory 460. This is the ...... of factories 331 and 122."
Hu Wenhai looked at Secretary Huang with some confusion, and introduced the group of people he brought in one by one. You may not know what these people do just by looking at the numbers of these units, but if you say the full name of their unit, there must be many people who are thunderous.
For example, the 606 Institute, needless to mention, Shen Fei's engine design institute. 608 is the Zhuzhou Institute, 614 is the Aviation Power Control Research Institute, and 649 is also well-known and is the engine design institute of Guihang. The latter series of factory directors are the heads of major domestic aviation development production enterprises. Dawn, Liyang, Anton, Xifei, Chengfei's engine factories, none of them were left behind.
It can be said that the dozen or so people sitting around Secretary Huang now, plus Liu Daxiang and Jiang Hefu, who came first, have almost wiped out the units and enterprises related to domestic aviation development. Faced with such a lineup, Hu Wenhai is really a little brain down.
"The specific situation, I think Liu Lao should have already introduced it to Mr. Hu, right?" Secretary Huang glanced at Liu Daxiang, and saw that the other party nodded slightly, so he said in a deep voice: "Today, everyone is here to have an informal meeting, and I have some information to inform you here." β
Secretary Huang waited for a moment, and after everyone had quieted down, he continued.
"China's current aviation industry is not a small problem, one of the most serious and critical problems is the lack of main aviation power. The turbofan 9B engine is the most advanced turbofan engine that can be mass-produced in China, but its problems are still not small, and it is a backward technical product in the world. Now the country is promoting the three future third-generation fighters, Panda and No. 10 have been determined to produce equipment, and after the introduction of SU27, we are also talking about whether production technology can be imported from the Soviet Union. β
The turbofan 9B is the domestic code name of the TF41, which has been determined as the first generation of power for the domestic Panda J-14. Because of Spey's technical foundation, it seems that there is no need to worry about the progress now. However, the performance of TF41 is limited compared with Spey, mainly to solve the problems of stability and life, and the performance is not outstanding.
After Secretary Huang said this, the faces of everyone present couldn't help but become grim.
"In the next ten years, if China wants to realize the upgrading of second-generation aircraft to third-generation aircraft, it is conceivable that power will be the bottleneck of domestic fighters. The R&D progress of Taihang is not satisfactory, and it is likely to become a three-type with one hair with two types now. Once the engine fails, China's air defense will face a situation where no inorganic is available. I don't think any of you here can take on this responsibility, right?"
Han Tiankui, the director of the 606 Institute, wanted to refute a few words under the gaze of Secretary Huang, but he really couldn't open his mouth.
As a turbofan 10, that is, the R&D unit of Taihang, he knows the R&D progress of the institute. At the current pace, it is likely that this project will take twenty or thirty years. In the past, I thought that the matter of the turbofan was not complicated, but it was just equipped with an external duct. But now after starting it, they suddenly found that they were facing the same problem as Jiang Hefu.
If you want to equip GE's core machine with an external duct, not knowing the internal flow field data is a black eye. Knowing what it is, not knowing why, will not work in the development of turbofan engines. In this way, if the 606 Institute wants to tackle key problems, it is equivalent to going through the entire process of developing F101 by the Americans. Even if you know the final answer, you still have to think about the solution to the problem.
"The problem of the engine has attracted the attention of the leadership, and the R&D and production system adopted by China for aero engines in the past has proved that it cannot meet the needs of the future aviation field. We have always considered the aviation engine to be a component of the aircraft, and we have considered it as a sub-project of the aircraft project. Now it seems that the development of engines is more demanding and takes longer than that of aircraft. It is obviously not appropriate to put the engine project in a sub-project of an aircraft. β
Secretary Huang is undoubtedly the mouthpiece of the leader behind him, so he has no position to say as a secretary, but the central level has recognized this problem and is already working to change the situation, and is blowing the wind for the heads of the factories in advance.
Everyone quietly looked at me and I looked at you in private, communicating nervously with their eyes. Listening to Secretary Huang's words, a vague thought appeared in their minds. And when they thought of this possibility, not only them, but even Hu Wenhai was a little excited.
None of the people spoke, and even the sound of breathing seemed to be cautious, and they were all listening attentively to Secretary Huang's speech.
"With the deepening of China's contact with international power enterprises, it now seems that the integration of aviation power research and development forces has become the general trend. Whether it's GE and Pratt & Whitney in the United States, Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom, or the Soyuz Engine Consortium in the Soviet Union, these companies have survived only after integrating their domestic resources. The number of GE's engine designers alone is already more than that of all China's aviation development researchers combined. Under such circumstances, we are divided into so many units, how can we concentrate our efforts to achieve technological catch-up and overtaking?"
"So the central government is now considering whether it is necessary to separate the R&D and production of Hangfa -- the establishment of the China Aero Engine Group. β
"AVIC?" Han Tiankui, who received the 606 income, quietly swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously: "Does the central government mean that it wants to put all the domestic aero engine research and development and production capacity under this group?"
Secretary Huang shook his head lightly: "This specific organizational method, the leader also hopes to listen to your opinions." The integration of resources in the aviation industry is the general trend, but how to integrate, our reform is also being explored. β
"This ......"
Under the convergence of everyone's eyes, they all hesitated and hesitated.
Obviously, AVIC is likely to become the main force of aviation power in China in the future, and the R&D and production of aero engines are independent from aircraft manufacturing enterprises, which is of course a good thing. The subordinate status in the past has become an equal status, and the status of Hangfa has been improved.
However, on the other hand, under the previous system, aviation development was under the aviation project, although the status was not high, but many mothers-in-law also had one more way to live. No matter whether the aviation development is good or not, the aircraft manufacturing enterprises always have to pay for it.
However, once it became independent, so many institutes competed within AVIC. If it is not done well, I am afraid that it will be cut in minutes, and it is not surprising that it will be cut in terms of funds and establishment, and even absorbed by other institutes.
Of course, the most important thing is what will be the future of AVIC's financial situation after its establishment? After leaving the aircraft manufacturing enterprises, can we still guarantee profitability, can we guarantee that the financial situation will not deteriorate? How much effort will the state make in the investment of AVIC?
After all, everyone here does not know that China now has hundreds of billions of dollars in its hands and does not know where to spend it. In recent years, the military industrial system and the air force have actually quietly become much richer. Since the Gulf War, the strength of the air force has suddenly become the focus of attention of all countries in the world.
The idea that the central government intends to burn money in the aviation field can be said to be very firm.
Seeing the hesitation of the leaders of these enterprises and institutes, Hu Wenhai suddenly became anxious in his heart. The early establishment of AVIC can be said to be what he has been advancing. The integration of domestic aviation resources is absolutely beneficial and harmless. In this informal meeting, which brought together all stakeholders, it was the crucial moment to finalize the results.
By the time the matter can be brought to a formal meeting, it will be time for the dust to settle.
At such a critical moment, Mr. Hu's brain suddenly moved. In the final analysis, whether AVIC can be established or not is a matter of interest. Thinking about the background of the establishment of AVIC in the original history, things still have to fall on the head of COMAC!
"Ahem, Mr. Chang. Hu Wenhai turned his head and asked Chang Chang, the newly appointed general manager of COMAC, "By the way, I have a question I want to ask." The engines of McDonnell Douglas 82 and other McDonnell Douglas aircraft and commercial aircraft can be replaced, right? If we ask GM to order an aircraft that completely replaces Rolls-Royce products, will this be possible?"
