Chapter 729 Agricultural Census Satellite
Under Secretary Huang's gaze, no one dared to object, and no one was willing to object. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It is already clear that the establishment of AVIC is unstoppable. With the support of the central government, the funding of Xinke, the technology of Rolls-Royce, and the order of more than 2,000 aero engines in the future, all the conditions for the birth of AVIC have been met.
An enterprise like AVIC is also of great significance to the aero engine industry. It marks that from now on, the aero engine is no longer just a component of the aircraft, but a separate system, a system that has the same status as aircraft manufacturing, or even a more important position.
Turbojet engines, turbofan engines, turboshaft engines, turboprop engines, as well as gas turbines and various instruments, the entire aviation engine industry will get rid of its dependence on the aviation industry and gradually develop into an indispensable industrial power for social production.
Maybe in the future, in order to sell turbo engines, AVIC will also produce its own sports cars. With a turbo-powered sports car and a special name in the middle, who can say for sure what the future holds?
Even the leader of any unit himself is a little cautious, and he does not dare to express it in this situation. Anyone who stands in everyone's way will be dragged out and bounced to death by JJ.
Secretary Huang waited for three minutes, and when he saw that no one expressed any objections, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Since everyone thinks it is feasible, let's allocate it and see what kind of composition China Aviation Development Group will take. β
As soon as Secretary Huang finished speaking, a heated discussion and even quarrels broke out on the scene.
The organizational form of AVIC is related to everyone's vital interests, how can this kind of thing not be quarrelsome?
However, these specific situations do not need to be personally intervened by Hu Wenhai and Secretary Huang. Regardless of how their interests are weighed, one thing is certain. No matter how the cake is divided, there is always a piece that belongs to the ST Group.
There was no result in a short period of time, and soon the leaders finalized the plan to go back and "fight again", and then said that they would not waste Mr. Hu's precious time, and they scattered birds and beasts.
Of course, it can't be that these people are really so "gentle and frugal", thinking about Hu Wenhai. The problem cannot be solved by just talking about it, and even if the house collapses today, in fact, they don't want to really quarrel with a result.
Everyone knows this truth, of course, they first go back to find their respective backers and relationships, and exchange swords or interests under the table.
When the people from Hangfa ran out, only Secretary Huang and several other people from the ministry were left in Hu Wenhai's reception room. Li Xu, vice president of COMAC, 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 Board of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. These people may not have a good reputation or high official position, but they are already decisive figures in their respective fields.
Unlike administrative or ordinary management positions, it is impossible to sit in such a position as a key technical officer without considerable professional knowledge and experience.
And Secretary Huang brought them over today, obviously not just to let them watch a historic moment of change in the aviation development industry.
In fact, looking at Secretary Huang's appearance, the last few people left are probably the real highlight today.
"I've always heard that there are two industries that Mr. Hu is most concerned about. One is semiconductors and the other is aviation. β
Li Xu spread out his hands and said with a helpless smile: "I used to think that if I had tens of billions of dollars, who would not be able to do a good job in an industry? Today, after watching Mr. Hu's operation, I realized that if I really give me tens of billions of dollars, I'm afraid I won't even be able to understand how to spend money!"
"Yes, do you think it's so easy to spend money?" Secretary Huang laughed: "Study hard with Mr. Hu, learn how to do things, and there is no reason why COMAC can't do it." β
"Alright, alrightβ"
Hu Wenhai raised his hands in surrender and scolded with a smile: "Secretary Huang, are you playing a double reed?
"How can you say that you didn't have a good idea, this is too wronged!" Secretary Huang pretended to be angry and said: "The matter of AVIC, Mr. Hu, you have been planning for a long time. This time, the Aviation Engineering Department took the initiative to help you clear all the obstacles, such a big gift, you can't bite back, saying that we are uneasy and kind, right?"
Hu Wenhai was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Whether it is Gou Guan or Deputy He Ministry, I have contributed to it, right? Even the establishment of GMD Company is also supported by me." But why, why are you so proficient in talking nonsense when you open your eyes, Secretary Huang!" (Grumman MacDonnell Douglas Company, referred to as GMD Company)
"Ahem, okay, no kidding. Secretary Huang raised his hand in surrender and sighed: "Anyway, the sincerity of the Ministry of Aviation Industry this time is enough, right?
"Who are you?" Hu Wenhai looked at Secretary Huang and Li Xu, and then at a few technical officials who were silent, and he didn't know what was going on.
What Hu Wenhai wanted to do in the aviation industry, the Ministry of Aviation Engineering did it all at one time this time, and almost all of them were done. Although Hu Wenhai did make a lot of contributions, if there was no strong support from the Ministry of Aviation Industry behind him, I don't know how much trouble it would be.
Now this result is indeed the best development direction that Hu Wenhai expected. Next, the formation of COMAC and the merger of AVIC will make the aviation industry a game of chess. China began to invest heavily in the field of aero engines 20 years ahead of schedule, coupled with Hu Wenhai's hanging, the Chinese heart of the J-20 can always be expected, right?
Even if we just calculate the benefits of ST Group, it is already incalculable. After extending his "tentacles" into the aviation and aviation development industry, Hu Wenhai's voice in China has undoubtedly skyrocketed again.
It can be said that in the past, ST Group was only a ST Group, at most a private enterprise with great influence and close ties with the government. After entering the aviation industry, it means that Xinke has finally become an inseparable part of the system.
Just as there will be a China Resources Department in the future, I am afraid that there will be one more "new department" in China in the future. In all areas of investment in China, there is no system that will refuse to allow new technology to enter. In all industries, the treatment that Xinke can enjoy will be at the level of state-owned enterprises.
With this treatment, I don't know how many bosses of private enterprises will be envious of in the future.
Hu Wenhai did not say that he owed the Ministry of Aviation Industry, but at least he had to accept the kindness of Minister Mo and other high-level officials.
On the one hand, of course, the China Shipbuilding Corporation and the Ministry of Railways are in front, and everyone wants to compete for the ship of Mr. Hu. On the other hand, the aviation industry has fully fallen to Hu Wenhai, and the aerospace system is not hot?
"We don't have too many ideas, Minister Mo and my leaders are well aware of Mr. Hu's ability. Secretary Huang waved his hand again and again and said cautiously: "We don't ask too much, we just hope that Mr. Hu can show a way for China's aerospace industry." β
"Aerospace, Aerospace ......"
Hu Wenhai muttered to himself, thinking about the future development of China's aerospace industry. To be honest, he really didn't want to worry about the development of aerospace, the level of China's aerospace is not low in the future, the lunar exploration vehicles have been sent to the moon, Beidou is also going to form a network, Dongfeng Express has also achieved its mission, and has never lived up to the expectations of the Chinese people.
"What, isn't the situation in aerospace good now?"
"I can't say no, hehe, it's just ...... There was a shortage of money everywhere in China before, and our aerospace industry was no exception. Mr. Hu probably didn't know that the extended-range project of the Dongfeng-5 intercontinental missile was related to national strategic security. Our Aviation Engineering Department really had no money, and later the Second Artillery Corps raised its own funds and managed to build it by pulling out 50 million yuan from between the teeth of the officers and men. β
Li Xu said, showing a frightened look, and sighed: "I'm really poor, although I have some money in my hand now, I still don't dare to spend a penny!"
Hu Wenhai thought about it and nodded sympathetically: "Also, hey, no matter how much money you have, you can't beat a Ferrari limited sports car as soon as you start!"
Li Xu gave a thumbs up, nodded his head, and then took out a document from his hand like a trick: "That's the reason, so our aviation engineering department recently made a plan, and I want to ask Mr. Hu to correct the axe." β
"What can I do with your space plan? I don't know how to do it......
Hu Wenhai opened the document handed over by Li Xu, just glanced at it twice, and suddenly said "Huh".
After he had read two or three pages, he couldn't help but bow his head and ponder.
"Do you want to customize a batch of chips from the Xinke wafer factory? 200mm diameter wafers, 150mm monolithic chips must be no problem, 180mm can be made specifically, we need to study it. β
After Hu Wenhai finished speaking, he suddenly flicked the document with a smile, and said meaningfully: "If I guessed correctly, this chip still needs to be reinforced with anti-radiation, right? β
"Hey, real people don't tell lies. Li Xu nodded dryly: "Mr. Hu is really an understanding person, and we plan to use it on satellites." You still have the CCD technology you got from Sony, so you can license it to us, right?"
Hu Wenhai said "oh-" and patted his head, then he remembered that he still had the CCD technology that he had pulled out of Suo Zhengtian.
At present, the CCD technology has been jointly developed by Xinke and Jiangguang General Factory, and has overcome the tiny lens technology in Sony's key CCD technology, so that China's CCD technology level is only one generation behind the CCD technology commonly used in later generations, and it can be fully applied in practice.
In this way, against the background of the US military's extensive use of satellite reconnaissance technology in the Gulf War, it is obviously a matter of course for the space system to think of developing a digital transmission agricultural census satellite.
The digital transmission of agricultural census satellites does not seem to be very high-tech, so the price must be very expensive and the effect must be very good. This is not the case, and for space systems, the most urgent and significant need for the development of digital satellites is actually - to save money.
That's right, it's to save money. Before the digital transmission of agricultural census satellites was put into use, China's agricultural census satellites used film-return census satellites. Optical images of the ground are taken on film, and then the satellites that are launched up and returned to Earth to obtain the images taken by the satellites.
This is a very real problem, every time there is a demand for agricultural census, it is necessary to launch a rocket into the sky. And the reality is even worse, because satellites are not something you say you can fight. Space launches are planned with a strict process. In this way, the flexibility and real-time nature of the task are basically not mentioned.
What's even worse is that if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts, if the quality of the return capsule is not too hard, it will fall to the ground and break, and the film will be picked up by herdsmen who don't know the situation and go home to repair toilets. And what is even worse is that it fell into the sea, and even the shadow of the film could not be seen, and the only thing I got was the "coo" sound in the sonar, which was really a water drift.
The military background of the aerospace system itself makes him have many systems and capabilities, and the Second Artillery Corps is a set of teams and two brands. Like the agricultural census satellite, the Dongfeng 5, which was pulled directly from the Second Artillery Battery, was repainted. When tensions call for intensive launches, even the country's nuclear deterrence capability will be seriously affected.
If digital transmission satellites can be used to achieve agricultural censuses, this advantage is too great. The most important point is that the satellite does not need to return to Earth, and it transmits the ground images it obtains to the ground anytime and anywhere during its lifetime.
The film return capsule and the painted Dongfeng 5 saved by this alone are fully worth the ticket price. Moreover, the enhanced strategic early warning capability and outer space reconnaissance capability are still more than can be reflected by mere economic accounting.
With the breakthrough of 200mm wafer preparation technology in the Xinke wafer fab, and the smooth breakthrough of the chip manufacturing process to the sub-micron level, the digital transmission of agricultural return satellite technology is already only lacking in the east wind.
This east wind is naturally the reason why the Ministry of Aviation Industry wants to get along with Hu Wenhai. Digital transmission stars are certainly a good thing, and the resources that can be invested in research and development are also massive. The aerospace system of the Ministry of Aviation Industry is poor, and the second artillery has to pick the gaps, where to find the funds needed to start a space program.
A group of technologists in the aerospace system of the Ministry of Aeronautics and Industry have broken their heads and have never been able to find a profitable model for the digital transmission of agricultural census satellites. After all, if you just save money, in fact, the country now has a more cost-effective way. Anyway, the world war can't be fought, and so many domestic defense projects have been cut, is there still an agricultural census satellite missing?
If you don't hit satellites, you will naturally save the most money. If the Ministry of Aviation Industry wants to persuade the state to approve and invest, it has to explain that although its project needs national investment, we can make money later!
It's not enough to just save money, in this era, you have to be able to make money! And Hu Wenhai's previous performance on the aviation development system fell in the eyes of everyone in the aerospace system, and it was indeed not good.
So, does he have what it takes to give a new lease of life to the space system program?
