"Good news, the Chinese side agreed that we should evaluate AutoCAD. ”

Harper excitedly broke into the restaurant of the Rongfei Hotel and greeted Robert Hugh, Roman Rohdes, Edward Williams and others who were eating breakfast.

Everyone immediately raised their heads, and they didn't care about the delicious breakfast in front of them, and asked Harper one after another.

"Really? That's great, isn't it set for today?"

"Can I finally work well? I've gained a few pounds in this time, damn the chinese, damn delicious!"

"Is there anything else you can say other than agreeing with us to evaluate AutoCAD?"

……

Harper shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Gentlemen, for the time being, there is only this good news, as for the time, it is this morning. ”

"So what are you waiting for?

The crowd quickly wiped out the food in front of them, and then hurriedly boarded a minibus dedicated to serving them and went directly to the 611 Institute.

In the past few days, it has suffocated them.

These Chinese guys are very ghostly, during this time in Rongcheng, they eat, drink and have fun every day, but they don't give them the opportunity to talk about things seriously.

Even diplomatic pressure did not make much difference.

Later, they found out that the Chinese were organizing engineers to conduct large-scale training in AutoCAD.

Every day after work, they organize a special study group to operate on the computer.

Among these people, there are college graduates in their twenties and recent graduates, and there are also old engineers in their fifties and sixties with gray hair.

Every night, those engineers would take the initiative to go to the computer room to study until the middle of the night, discussing and exchanging learning experiences with each other while studying.

what the f***ck！

Are these chinchines all crazy?

Shouldn't the evening be a drink at the bar, a movie, a time to spend time with the family?

Hugh and they also visited several times for this purpose, and the Chinese did not block the visits of these foreign friends.

It's just that they want to further talk to the Chinese about AutoCAD, and these Chinese keep silent, and as for the operation on the machine, don't even think about it.

However, this kind of sightseeing tour alone was an eye-opener for Hugh.

Like the assembly design module, the drawing-space module, the aviation sheet metal module, etc., these are all things that are still in the imagination of American aeronautical engineers, and I don't know when they will be realized, but I see them here.

Hugh: They had the feeling of being in a futuristic world in an instant.

Even Boeing and Lockheed, which have already laid out in the CAD field, are more willing to win this AutoCAD software.

The only regret is that they don't have the opportunity to operate the machine.

It's like a big beautiful woman undressing in front of them, but they can only look at it, not touch it, which is a kind of torture for these experts who have been immersed in the aviation industry for decades.

Fortunately, I don't know if it was the diplomatic level that played a role or some other reason, the Chinese finally agreed to let them get close to AutoCAD.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the US delegation, accompanied by Gong Weijiang, Lu Wenjun, Yang Zhenguo and others, came to the 611 CAD Center - this is the sign that was hung up only two days ago.

During this period, with the help of the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the 611 Institute successively modified 5 DJS-130 computers for AutoCAD teaching and scientific research.

The so-called CAD center, in fact, is a brand, the place is still the original drawing room of the bungalow, in order to accommodate the five computers, specially modified to a certain extent, but also installed air conditioning, in the summer, not to mention how comfortable.

"Mr. Hugh, Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Williams, please!"

Gong Weijiang smiled.

This time, the Chinese side will focus on tackling key problems with Grumman represented by Hugh, Lockheed represented by Rhodes, and Boeing represented by Williams.

If the three can compete with each other, and the Chinese side chooses the best, then there is no worry that AutoCAD will not be sold at a good price.

To this end, the 611 Institute also specially sent Liu Wei and two other college students who are familiar with AutoCAD operation and fluent in English to teach Hugh how to get started with this software.

In fact, it is not difficult to get started with AutoCAD, compared with the character operation interface commonly used in computer software in this era, Yang Weining deliberately made a graphical interface, whether it is the operation logic or the difficulty of getting started, almost like something from another era.

"Mr. Hugh, you see here, we can use the N-edge surface option to overconnect the surface we created earlier...... Well, we've built three sets of commonly used 3D parts, and now we can use the Assembly Design module to assemble them and do an early analysis of their kinematics......"

"Next, we can also try to design sheet metal parts...... Here, yes, that's it, we can also add a description of the material properties to the geometric elements of the sheet metal parts, so that our aircraft designers can provide the necessary information for the subsequent application of the aerospace sheet metal parts......"

"The cable routing path module, cable routing is the most cumbersome in the aircraft design and construction process, but with this module, the system can automatically find the best network path and automatically check the connectivity of each node, which can greatly reduce the workload of our design engineers and front-line workers...... Great, Very Good, Mr. Hugh you are such a genius, that's it, I didn't learn this feature for days, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in a few minutes......"

……

Liu Wei's shameless touting, even if these proud Americans are a little embarrassed.

But Hugh couldn't blush anymore, and after experiencing the software himself, he realized that it was even more powerful than he had imagined.

He even had the feeling that this software would be a revolutionary product that would revolutionize the way aircraft are designed.

Not only can it greatly improve the efficiency of aircraft design, but even in the process of aircraft production, it has an irreplaceable excellent role.

Grumman, Lockheed, Boeing, no matter which of the three companies, as long as they master this product, will be one step ahead in the research and development process of the future new generation of fighters in the United States!

One step ahead, one step at a time!

Now Grumman has won the Navy order in the field of fighter jets with the excellent performance of the F-14 Tomcat, but the Air Force has achieved nothing.

However, with the F-18 "Hornet" fighter, Boeing is about to enter the carrier-based aircraft market controlled by Grumman, which is extremely unfavorable to Grumman's layout in the field of military aircraft in the future.

Not long ago, the U.S. Defense Advanced Planning and Research Agency (DARPA) has asked major companies to conduct pre-research on the next generation of fighter jets.

If this software can be obtained, Grumman will not have a chance to compete with Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop and even McDonnell Douglas in the development of the next generation of fighters.

In fact, not only Hugh, after actually experiencing the operation and function of AutoCAD, Roman Rod and Edward Williams also completely changed their initial ideas, and compared with this software, the CAD products developed by themselves are simply the gap between bicycles and space shuttles!

No way!

Absolutely can't let the other two get it!

Hugh, Rod, Williams, and the others looked at each other and smiled, as if a spark flashed in the air.

Gong Weijiang smiled and said, "Mr. Hugh, Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Williams, today's experience is over, how do you feel?"

"Excellent!"

Hugh gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "This software has opened my eyes to the technical capabilities of the 611 Institute, in fact, in our opinion, the Peace Model Project makes it more suitable for the 611 Institute to come and cooperate with us." ”

Lu Wenjun, Lu Yang and others on the side had bright eyes.

For a long time, the official cooperation unit of the Peace Model Project is the 601 Institute in the north, and if 611 can grab this piece of fat, it will have countless benefits for the future development of the 611 Institute.

Gong Weijiang was a little embarrassed, and the Ministry of Aviation Industry was not monolithic, and now the state's annual flow of funds to the aviation industry was quite limited, and the major research institutes and aircraft factories under his hands had been robbing each other for food.

If the peace model project is handed over to the 611 Institute, whether it can succeed is another matter, and I am afraid that the major mountains under my hands will make trouble.

He snorted, as if he didn't understand what Hugh meant, and smiled: "Mr. Hugh, let's talk about this later, at noon, we have prepared a big meal in the cafeteria, how about we go to eat first?"
