Chapter 520: Times Have Changed
During the Spring Festival of 1997, for many Soviet people who came to Hainan, a stone was somewhat laid down in their hearts.
Coming from afar, the situation in the East and the Soviet Union was extremely bad, and many Soviets who came to China were actually a little uneasy in their hearts.
For the East Soviet Union, although cooperation with China has become an established national policy, there is no equal strategic position in China. It is difficult for China to unreservedly support the East Soviet Union in the international situation, and the East Soviet Union is currently having to come up with a lot of things to exchange development resources from China that are vital to it.
This asymmetry in relations made many Soviets who came to China have reservations about cooperation in their attitudes.
Ideological work, this is a familiar road for the Chinese side. To dispel such concerns of the Soviets, in the final analysis, is to show that they are valued. Although China cannot stand with the East Soviet Union on the surface, it can maintain a close relationship under the surface in various ways.
The Spring Festival Gala in Wenchang Aerospace City has obviously achieved good results.
In particular, the appearance on the stage of a national-level band like Liubai, which became popular from the Soviet era to the Russian era, really greatly soothed the impetuous mood of these Soviet staff.
At the same time, the arrival of the families of these Soviet functionaries made them even more moved by China's intentions.
The families of the Soviet functionaries arrived by train from Manchuria to Hainan instead of by plane, hoping that they would be able to witness the changes that have taken place since China's reform and opening up and the fruits of construction. Although it was only a glimpse of the light outside the train window, the journey of tens of thousands of kilometers from north to south, across the north and south of China, still left an indelible mark on the hearts of many Soviet workers' families.
The Soviets were eye-opening in China near the Spring Festival, with its trains and busy train stations, the energy of the cities and the smiles on people's faces. In particular, it is interesting to think that China has also carried out institutional reforms, but instead of falling into chaos like the Soviet Union, society has shown a thriving upward trend.
The experiences, experiences, and feelings along the way have greatly changed many people in East Sudan toward China. This little brother who was once in the socialist camp is indeed no longer the backward country aided by the 156 Project, but is becoming a great power like the Soviet Union.
With such a level of understanding, these Soviet functionaries and their families are not so difficult to accept in terms of "dependence" on China. After the Spring Festival Gala, the warm hospitality of the Chinese side allowed them to let go of their worries and panic in a foreign country, and they could put down their burdens and devote themselves to work as soon as possible.
China's first manned space program began to advance steadily, but for any work, success is always temporary, but differences are eternal.
"This is China's first manned space program, how much impact will the failure have? Since the Soviet Union has a successful plan, why do we have to find another way, we have to make improvements on the Proton, and who will be responsible for the problems?"
"As long as we steadily form the production capacity of Proton and Soyuz spacecraft, it will already be the biggest progress for China's aerospace. Even without any improvements, the Proton and Soyuz spacecraft will be enough for us for at least twenty years. Twenty years from now, the space technology we have developed on our own may not be able to reach such heights!"
"Importing, absorbing, digesting, just as we did when we received Soviet aid, isn't this a ready-made work path?"
In the Wenchang Aerospace City Design Bureau Building, the smell of decoration in the conference room has not yet been dissipated, and now it seems to have some more gunpowder smell.
Dai Chunsheng, who was talking, had always been in charge of docking with the Soviet working group, which was already familiar to him. At that time, the Soviet Union's aid to China 156 Project, with his excellent Russian language skills and meticulous work, made the Soviet aid workers full of praise for him.
The reception of the staff and their families of Dongsu during the Spring Festival was also planned by him, and the results of his work were very outstanding.
As a result of this work, he was named at this meeting, and it is clear that these views were expressed here by some people.
This is a high-level closed-door meeting of the China Aerospace Industry Corporation, and a group of chief engineers and general managers are sitting in the conference room, and Dai Chunsheng can speak here, which must represent the voice of many people.
And when he finished speaking, many people in the conference room couldn't help but nod slightly, as if expressing silent support for his speech.
And, of course, Dai Chunsheng's words are not unreasonable.
Introduction, digestion and absorption are common practices in many domestic fields. Introduce technology from abroad, and then try to localize production. Taking the Pusin localization project as an example, the process of introducing technology, then assembling parts, and finally gradually localizing is carried out. In this process, it has indeed cultivated a number of parts production systems that meet the requirements for China.
And the Proton is indeed advanced enough, after the localization of the Proton, this model is enough for China to use for at least 20 years. With such a long time to prepare, there really isn't a need for too much haste to make a technical move. The success of the Proton project will inevitably have a far-reaching impact on China's aerospace industry, and if the failure of improvement leads to accidents, it will obviously cause a huge blow to the aerospace industry.
From the perspective of some scientific researchers, as well as the operation and operation of the enterprise and a number of higher levels, there is indeed nothing wrong with being "stable".
According to the current progress, the first Proton rocket was assembled from China, and then the localization of Proton was gradually realized, and finally the large-scale production of Proton was realized, which has greatly improved China's aerospace industry.
"I can take the responsibility. ”
Sitting first on the left hand, Hu Wenhai looked at the people below and said that it was obviously impossible to have no pressure. He did have a great say in the Mir project, but the Aerospace Corporation always held enough influence on the technical route.
Now no one on the two sides can do without anyone, Hu Wenhai can't handle Mir by himself, and Mir will have to be blinded if he leaves his Aerospace Corporation. Although the cooperation between the China Aerospace Corporation and Hu Wenhai was smooth, it was not completely without differences.
"Aviation and aerospace, it can be said that there is a great similarity. I don't dare to say that I know about aerospace technology, but I have a little say in the aviation industry. ”
Hu Wenhai pressed the microphone in front of him and organized the language. What he was going to say next was not entirely sure of him. The world is completely different from the future he has experienced, so can some of the truths still work?
It can only be said that the ongoing controversy is not entirely a conflict of interests, but also a run-in of two development concepts.
"Shenfei can be said to be the leader of China's aviation, and the Shenfei model has also made outstanding contributions to the development of our country. ”
But today, Shen Fei's predicament is becoming more and more obvious. Shen Fei's problems are very big, not only personnel and management problems, some problems are actually buried in the disease-causing genes from the beginning. It was I who brought Mir to China, but I never want the Aerospace Corporation to become the Shen Fei it is today. ”
"But I must say that if we take the Proton as a guide, then we will not be far from Shen Fei. ”
"The Chujiao-6 was the first aircraft designed in China, but at that time, if it weren't for Su Shaoqing as deputy director of the Aviation Industry Bureau, the aviation department still wanted to produce the backward Yak-18. I think many people should have memories of the events of that year. And even recently, the last time I attended a meeting of an aviation authority, the deputy directors of the two Civil Aircraft Bureaus openly declared at the meeting that they had concluded that all Chinese-designed aircraft were failures and all non-Chinese-designed aircraft were successful. ”
"What is the reason why we are so afraid of the aircraft we designed? The root cause is actually in Shen Fei, in the way we received the Soviet 156 project. ”
"Fundamentally speaking, Shen Fei has long implemented the original design method, because the focus of Soviet aid was to solve the technical problem of how to mass-produce Soviet-style aircraft, and it was necessary to form China's aviation and defense production capacity in a short period of time. This requires that we must not blindly move in the design of our aircraft, and first solve the problem of how to copy it, how to copy it accurately, and how to copy the production capacity of Soviet aircraft exactly how to do it. ”
"In the final analysis, the original design method is not a design method for aircraft at all, but only a means to copy Soviet-style aircraft. ”
Later, in the period, in order to rush the work, Shen Fei went to the other extreme. Various improvements and violations of process specifications have led to the fact that a large number of Jian-6 products produced are not of good quality, and they are even refused to be accepted by the Air Force and cannot leave the factory. Later, it was Marshal He Long who slapped the table angrily, which changed the situation. However, the lesson learned from this brute force caused Shen Fei to have the effect of being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of the well rope for ten years. Since then, Shen Fei has been more convinced that independent design will not work, and the production of aircraft must be meticulous in the belief that the original accuracy. ”
"In my opinion, the greatest wealth of China's aerospace will never be Mir, let alone Proton or Soyuz, it will not be any specific product. The most valuable asset of China's aerospace industry over the past few decades is its ability to always adhere to independent research and development. In the field of astronautics, we have no homework that we can copy, and there is no Bible that we dare not change. Our aerospace products are all developed from the foundation of nothing, and have our own characteristics and ideas. It is precisely because we can't copy it, so China's aerospace industry has accumulated so many talents and technical background. ”
"If we bow down to the Proton today, then the Aerospace Corporation may not become the next Shen Fei who will not be able to walk if he loses his crutches. ”
"I would like to say a word to you about China today. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, times have changed. ”
