Chapter 921: Independence
It's no wonder that Hu Wenhai specially took Shen Fei out and made it a negative example.
By 1997, Shen Fei's situation was already a little embarrassing. Although it undertook the technology transfer from Dongsu to China, it became the domestic assembly plant of Su-27. However, compared with the unique status of the third-generation aircraft manufacturer in history, at this point in time when the localization of Panda is about to break through, Shen Fei's status has inevitably declined, and has been questioned a lot.
Some people say that Shen Fei's management system is problematic, some say that Shen Fei is a scholar and a scholar, and some people think that Shen Fei is not enterprising and lies down to make money
It can't be said that these opinions are wrong, but obviously they only saw the superficial results, did not see the reasons behind them, and did not understand the system and historical roots of Shen Fei all along.
Domestic aviation production has long relied on Shenfei blood transfusion, and the entire Chinese aviation industry can almost be said to have been fissioned out of Shenfei. Before the reform and opening up, the demand for Shenfei by national defense was dominated by production, and at the same time, it had to continue to transfuse and support other aviation companies in the country.
For the design of the aircraft, as long as it can be copied accurately from the Soviet fighter fuselage. As for changing the original design of the Soviet-style fighter, it is clear that the risks far outweigh the benefits, and there are too many lessons to be made up.
In this way, after several decades, the ability to copy and copy has become a ruler for Shen Fei to measure his business ability, and the entire system is built under this guiding ideology, and of course it has lost the ability to carry out "comprehensive design". As for management, conservatism, and learning, these are just appearances.
But from another angle, where did the thousands of Jian-7 and several thousand Jian-5 and Jian-6 of the Chinese Air Force come from? Where did the aviation cities and aviation enterprises that have blossomed everywhere from north to south come from? Without Shen Fei, where would the old Song before 1970 be? Without the old Song and the Jian-10, where would the Jian-20 and Yang Wei be?
Shen Fei did not adapt to the requirements of the new era due to historical reasons, but it was worthy of its historical responsibility. It can't be said that one year after the reopening will be the first 30 years after the reopening, so China's development before the reopening is meaningless.
In this regard, Shen Fei is indeed like a big brother in a traditional Chinese family, hard-working, hard-working, and may not have gone to school, but he is meticulous in his work. When the younger brothers and sisters are pulled and supported, the family conditions are better, and the educated younger brothers and sisters have made greater achievements, it is inevitable that the big brother will feel rustic and conservative.
But in any case, after the Panda fighter was born, Shen Fei really couldn't keep up with the times.
14 localization is not just a simple copy, in the process of localization has begun to transform and upgrade 14, is a comprehensive design on the basis of truly understanding 14 technology.
14 localization is not only according to the Tomcat to draw the panda, the Panda fighter avionics, radar, software, transmission and control have been upgraded, the internal structure has also been optimized, and the overall forging technology of the large press has replaced the vacuum welded casing, and the process of changing the engine is by no means a simple change of buckle
Compared with the panda flying west, Shen Fei is indeed a little late. The Su-27 technology that has been obtained does not dare to change, and the lack of subjective enthusiasm for technological innovation is, in the final analysis, a defect in independent research and development capabilities.
If the Aerospace Corporation took the old path of Shen Fei because of the proton technology, then Hu Wenhai would make a big mistake.
China's aerospace is different from aviation, it has not been copied from the beginning, and it is rare to establish and improve independent research and development capabilities from scratch.
The independent research and development ability is not only a technical ability, but an organizational ability, and an organization's determination and ambition. It does not mean that a technology should be developed independently, but that it should form a system of technological development, and the entire organization should have the organizational ability to never stop and always move forward.
Hu Wenhai is by no means satisfied with the product of Proton, but hopes to start with the introduction of Proton and plant a seed in the aerospace industry, rather than inviting back a statue of the Buddha who covers the sky with one hand.
However, this model is undoubtedly a riskier option for some people at the China Aerospace Corporation.
"I hope that in the process of introducing the Proton in China, the technical transformation project of the Proton will be started at the same time. In the first step, we upgraded the control system of the Proton with more advanced electronic technology. In the second step, we must implement the signing authority for the localization of the Proton in the hands of the China Aerospace Corporation. The third step is to update the Proton technology as a whole and increase its low-earth orbit transportation capacity to 25 tons, and the long-term goal, I think we can consider a payload of 35 tons."
Hu Wenhai's opinion made the faces of many people in the conference room change color. If nothing else, the right to sign alone, I don't know how many people's lives will be killed.
What is the right to sign? In fact, it means whether this thing can be used or not, and the power to finally sign and make a decision. In the case of equal rights and responsibilities, this means that many people in key positions are held responsible. If something goes wrong, you have to find the person who signed it.
Those who dare to sign must obviously have absolute knowledge of the decisions they make. In the case of the Proton project, it is required that from the chief engineer to the person in charge of each subsystem and subsystem, they must thoroughly understand the field they are responsible for, otherwise how dare they use their signature power?
As for the short-term target of 25 tons and the long-term target of 35 tons, let's put it this way, if the short-term goal can be achieved within 10 years, it will improve China's space industry by at least 10 years. As long as the long-term goal is achieved before 2020, it can be regarded as leapfrog development.
"Control system upgrades, we can do this now. But the right to sign, I don't think we should be in too much of a hurry."
"Yes, isn't it a bit too politicized to impose a requirement on which country must do the signing power?"
"It's right for us to hold the signature, but if we force it to be pushed forward, I'm afraid there will be problems. ”
Before Hu Wenhai's words fell, the people below couldn't help whispering. The voices below immediately gave courage to some of the people above, and soon some different voices also stood up.
Speaking of which, isn't this small signing power a rare power? Is there anyone who dislikes that power is too small? However, in the field of aerospace, power and responsibility are equal. The right to sign is both a power and a responsibility. If you sign this today, when you launch tomorrow, you will be held accountable for whoever signs it, and some people don't feel worried.
However, the right to sign cannot be indisputed, and the right to sign is only the first step in the long march of thousands of miles to digest Soviet space technology!
A vice president turned on the microphone and said unhurriedly: "What Mr. Hu said is of course reasonable, but we should first respect the laws of science when engaging in aerospace." If we have reached the capacity to sign, of course the right to sign should be in our hands. However, if the right to sign is measured as an indicator, it is inevitable that there will be a situation of rashness in the work. The aerospace industry is different from others, and the impact of accidents is very great, and I think the issue of the right to sign should be cautious. ”
The entry point of the right to sign is very good, if the right to sign is not mastered, of course, there is no technical upgrade. The Proton is enough for China's aerospace industry for at least 20 years, and the production sector will definitely be skewed by resources in these 20 years.
"Of course, the right to sign should be cautious, but we must not be afraid of it. ”
Hu Wenhai looked down, some people did have a difficult face, but some people also had a look of eagerness on their faces.
"You can't wait for the right to sign, you can't wait for it. The right to sign represents the ability to be autonomous, and the ability to be autonomous is not simply a technical ability, but also an organizational ability. Making a plan is not about making a bold move, but about building a workable system in the plan. This system is not only meant to help us hold the right to sign, but it will also play a role in the project to upgrade the Proton. If you don't rush in, then what do you do? Of course, you should do it in a down-to-earth manner. The training of the training, the workshop of the workshop, the make-up of the make-up class, the project of the experimental project. Through a scientific system, judge whether a person can implement the right to sign, rather than saying that he can implement it. ”
"The introduction of Proton will inevitably lead to the discontinuation of a number of projects at this stage, how can the scientific research teams of these projects be maintained? If we do not develop new product platforms and continue to launch new projects, these scientific research teams will be affected. Grasping the right to sign and launching new projects is related to our independent research and development capabilities, which must be realized as soon as possible. ”
"The right to sign is enforced, and the signature must be held accountable. ”
Hu Wenhai's gaze swept over the faces of the high-level executives of these aerospace corporations one by one, and he said categorically: "If the aerospace system doesn't even have this determination, it will disappoint me!"
The localization of Proton and the improvement of carrying capacity can greatly reduce the launch cost of Beidou satellites. With dozens of satellites waiting to be launched in the later stage of the Beidou project, as well as the completion of the supplementary satellite and the maintenance of the Mir, if he does not even have the determination to implement the signing right, how dare Hu Wenhai pin his hopes on the future aerospace science and technology group?
On the other hand, as long as the Proton, Soyuz, and Mir are crossed, the Aerospace Corporation will be able to immediately share the balance and leap into the dragon gate. It will take ten years to digest these technologies and train our own technical team, and if we can achieve the moon landing in 2007, how much will our domestic environment be improved?
With Hu Wenhai's tossing, China's development speed is bound to be even faster, and the US crackdown is certainly faster and more hysterical than in history. If our strength cannot develop by leaps and bounds, how will we face the complex situation at home and abroad?
If China's development accelerates by ten years, then the confrontation between China and the United States, and the state of the United States may also be ten years earlier.
Taking precautions is a problem that Hu Wenhai must consider.
"Okay, what's there to discuss?"
