Chapter 700 The State's Large Aircraft Project
"Liu Lang, let me introduce you to a few experts first!"
Zhao Hongyang pointed to an old man in his sixties sitting in the distance.
"This is Professor Gao Qiming, he is the chief engineer of our Xichuan Provincial Military Machinery Factory and an academician of the National Academy of Engineering!"
"Chief Engineer of the Xichuan Military Machinery Factory?"
Liu Lang knew that this factory, the Xichuan Military Machinery Factory and the Shencheng Feiteng Military Machinery Factory were the country's two major aircraft factories, and they were also military factories, responsible for the development and manufacture of combat effectiveness and other types of aircraft, and were the enterprises to which the state attaches the most importance.
"Liu Lang, you are a student of Professor Xiong, I also studied with him for two years in the fifties, and now we are still in contact, I have heard of you a long time ago!"
That Gao Qiming said with a smile.
"This is Professor Shen Nanhe, the chief engineer of Shencheng Feiteng Military Machinery Factory!"
Zhao Hongyang pointed to another person.
"The chief engineer of Shencheng Feiteng is also here?"
Liu Lang suddenly realized the purpose of this meeting.
"This Professor Qin Lie, he is the president of the National Academy of Engineering......... This is Professor Zhao Zhixin, the dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering of Capital University, and a well-known engine expert in our country.
It can be said that these professors are the top professors and experts in the mechanical engineering industry in China, and they obviously will not come to the conference to study any policy, but must be related to a certain mechanical engineering.
"Inviting these experts is to ask everyone to take the pulse of an important project, Lao Jiang, you can talk about it!"
Zhao Hongyang looked at one person and said.
Liu Lang knows each other, he is the original Minister of the Ministry of Industry Jiang Botao, last year the Ministry of the First Machine, the Ministry of the Second Machine, the Ministry of the Third Machine and other ministries and commissions merged to form the Ministry of Industry, Jiang Botao became the country's first Minister of Industry, and his son is Liu Lang Jiang Hong, the chairman of the student union of the same year, Jiang Hong graduated this year, Liu Lang heard that he was assigned to a district in Shencheng as a cadre.
"Okay, then I'll tell you about it, I'm sure you all know about it......... Oh, by the way, Liu Lang shouldn't be very clear......... In the sixties, our country launched a large aircraft project, the purpose is to develop our own large passenger aircraft, at that time we imitated the Soviet passenger aircraft, we have made a lot of achievements in these years, a lot of technology has been overcome, but there are also many difficulties, mainly our materials are not up to standard, the engine technology is also very flawed, dozens of passenger planes are okay, but no bigger ones will not work.
At the end of last year, the McDonnell Douglas Company of the United States took the initiative to cooperate with us and put forward a plan to build a factory in China to manufacture aircraft.
McDonnell Douglas is one of the two major aircraft manufacturing companies in the United States, the other is Boeing, these two companies occupy more than 80% of the world's market, with annual profits of more than one billion US dollars, and their strength is naturally good.
McDonnell Douglas wanted to enter the market in our country, and in order to show their sincerity, they offered to assemble a complete aircraft production line in Jinhai City, where all components, including engines, could be produced.
Now we have two options, one is to cooperate with McDonnell Douglas and introduce their production line to build aircraft, and the other is to continue to develop our own aircraft, but the process will be very slow, and the preliminary estimate is that it will take five to ten years, and the required capital will probably exceed 30 billion!"
Jiang Botao briefly introduced the matter, which was to discuss the matter of building airplanes.
Liu Lang came to the spirit all of a sudden, and found the root, it turned out to be this reason!
In Liu Lang's previous life, the country only had its own large passenger plane in 2017, far behind European and American countries, even the Russians can't compare, which makes many people wonder.
The information is clearly written, the country actually started the large aircraft project in the sixties, at that time it was based on a Russian aircraft for imitation, by the end of the seventies, the country has made great achievements, many technologies have broken through, and even the prototype has been built, can carry nearly 100 people passenger plane, and the test flight was successful, and also flew to the Tibetan area to land successfully, of course, this aircraft has a lot of defects, after all, it is an imitation of the Soviet aircraft, the core components are made in the Soviet Union, only the shell and other parts are made by the state, which is similar to the Santena car cooperated by China and Volkswagen, is a joint venture product。
Although it is a joint venture, in order to manufacture this aircraft, the country has also made progress in many places, accumulated a lot of experience, and the country's military industry has been greatly improved.
Even if the country's industrial level at that time was not enough to manufacture a completely domestic engine, as long as it continued, perhaps a breakthrough would be achieved in another ten years, and then the country's industrial process might be rewritten, but what is puzzling is that the project was suddenly abandoned halfway, and many related research was stopped, making countless descendants sigh.
Liu Lang didn't know why the accident happened before, but now he finally understands that it was McDonnell Douglas who came out to sabotage, no, it is likely that the US government is behind it, because they know what it means if China can build a large plane on its own.
The aircraft industry is closely related to the military industry, especially the engine and control system, as long as the slight change can be used in combat effectiveness, especially the control system, with the emergence of early warning aircraft will become particularly important.
In future wars, it is not the tactics of crowds but long-range early warning and precision strikes, and control and counter-control will become the key to victory in war.
Liu Lang knows that the US military has long begun to build a modern army, stealth aircraft and early warning systems have already taken shape, and this army will not be known to the world until the Gulf War three years later, and it will shock the whole world as soon as it appears.
It is said that after the outbreak of the Gulf War, many high-level Chinese officials were not optimistic about the United States and other Western countries, believing that the terrain of Iraq was not suitable for a large-scale attack by the US military, because it was a large desert with no cover terrain, and the US military would become a live target when marching in such terrain, and the enemy could stop the US attack as long as he waited for his work.
But the result was beyond everyone's expectations, the Americans did not play a large-scale legion attack with you at all, and the US planes flew arbitrarily over Iraq, because the opponent's radar system became blind under the interference of the AWACS aircraft, and the farts could not be detected, while the US planes could detect any enemy plane that rose into the air through the AWACS aircraft, and then positioned the missiles directly dozens of kilometers away, and the enemy was shot down without even seeing the shadow of the plane.
In addition, American planes often attack at night, and the Iraqis cannot see each other, but the Americans can see clearly through the infrared system, not to mention what is on the ground, even the tanks hiding under the sand.
In the seventies, the Soviet Union launched a war against Afghanistan, and fought for ten years after a fight, and finally the powerful Soviet Union could not win and withdrew from Afghanistan, and in the nineties the Americans attacked Iraq, and it took them only a few months to beat Iraq, which claimed to be the strongest army in the Middle East, and the most important thing is that the Americans basically did not have major losses, just like a professional boxing champion and a schoolboy playing boxing, and the two sides were completely asymmetrical battles.
The key to the victory of the Americans is the powerful air force and the perfect early warning control system of the land, sea and air, which have opened the eyes of other countries, especially China's top leaders, who were suddenly frightened by the Americans.
