The experimental center building of Tiangong Aviation Industry Co., Ltd. has now become the base camp of the main experts, technicians and management personnel of the Y20B Global Overlord project team jointly developed by China and the United States.

There is no doubt that the security department, which is jointly composed of the Huaxia branch of the Panshi Security Company, the Huaxia Ministry of State Security, and the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States, has long turned this place into a heavily guarded military management unit.

All staff entering and exiting the experimental center are equipped with electronic identity plates that integrate personal information, fingerprints, iris, DNA and other information.

It has to be said that this all-round and multi-level advanced security system introduced from the United States represents the most advanced security monitoring technology in the world today, so that Tiangong Group has a new research and development direction in the development and production of security equipment and monitoring systems.

In this cooperation with McDonnell Douglas Airlines, China and the United States did not make a big deal of publicity, except for a celebratory ceremony held by the internal personnel when the agreement was signed, and even a press conference was not held.

However, the spokesman of Tiangong Group claimed that because of the transformation of Tiangong Group's core R&D projects, Tiangong Group will allocate a large amount of funds to invest in the development of Tiangong Aviation Industry Company, and Tiangong Group will no longer have large investment projects in the next three years.

With the sharp contraction and reduction of Tiangong Group's investment in China, all kinds of rumors began to spread in mainland China.

As Yang Weiping expected, the "investment boom in China" set off by international business capital, which had been hot for nearly three years, quickly cooled down.

A large number of investors from Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany, Austria, Cyprus, Lebanon, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Norway and other countries and regions. At about the same time, the expansion was suspended, and some investment projects that were being negotiated with the local government in China were also suspended.

Coincidentally, at this time, a number of private entrepreneurs in China were arrested and detained by the relevant government departments on charges of embezzlement of public funds and dereliction of duty because of the vague definition of the relationship between the individual and the collective. For a time, domestic private enterprises became popular.

"The Huaxia government crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and comprehensively suppressed the Tiangong Group!"

"Be vigilant! Beware of the Huaxia Continent engaging in 'sports' again!"

"Persist in supporting the Central Committee of the Party to investigate and liquidate the black-hearted capitalists!"

"Finally starting to cut the tail of capitalism again!"

“……”

Those conservative veterans who had always held conservative views on reform and opening up seized the opportunity to launch an offensive against the reformers, and a new round of debate over whether to have a surname or a surname society was fiercely debated throughout the country.

In order to appease a large number of foreign businessmen in China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs specially held a press conference, which was attended by representatives of many well-known international enterprises and companies. Among them, Tiangong International Group naturally includes.

Yang Weiping did not attend the press conference. It was only arranged that the relevant person in charge of the public relations department of the group company went to participate, and it was ambiguously explained that Tiangong Group had to shrink the scale of investment because of financial problems.

However, those professional financial analysis experts in the veteran consortium who always pay attention to Tiangong International Group all know that Tiangong International Group took advantage of the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war. Speculating in oil futures has made a lot of money. They are estimated by the most conservative estimates. Tiangong International Group has earned at least $3 billion in the oil futures market this time.

Tiangong Group said that there was a problem with their capital chain, and it was definitely bluffing!

As for the Tiangong Group, they claim that they need to draw a lot of money because they have cooperated with McDonnell Douglas of the United States to develop the Y20B Global Overlord large military transport aircraft. Of course, the US Government, which knows a lot about this, knows that the Tiangong Group is pure nonsense.

Merely. The US Government is still happy to see that the Chinese Government has stopped the large-scale development of the western and southwestern regions. They knew that the Dao Tiangong Group had invested in many factories in the western and southwestern regions of China, and the reason for the reduction of the scale of investment was obviously due to the influence of the new policies introduced by the Chinese government.

With regard to the issue of foreign capital from other countries investing in China suddenly suspending their capital expansion in China, the US Government has not only not stood up to avoid the rumors, but has secretly fanned the flames in an attempt to take advantage of the turmoil to obtain more favorable policies for US enterprises investing in China.

In the eyes of the Americans, they do not find anything strange about the official Chinese debate over whether to have a surname or a surname. This is because this kind of controversy will not affect the political order and stability of the Chinese mainland. As far as businessmen are concerned, what the market wants is political order and stability, and it does not consider any political creed, no matter what system or political regime, as long as the Communist Party can provide opportunities and abilities to make money. The economy can be divorced from politics, and making money is more important than anything else.

The ups and downs outside, Yang Weiping didn't care at all.

At this time, he was thinking about how to buy more high-end precision equipment and instruments from the United States.

In order to further whet the appetite of the Americans, Yang Weiping also did his best in the process of cooperating in the development of the Y20B Global Overlord.

His idea of integrating materials, processes and structural design has been unanimously praised by American experts as another major innovation of Sir Yang for the world's aviation industry.

Materials, processes, and design researchers work together to select and determine materials and processes for specific components, and even carry out material selection, process design, and structural design to achieve overall optimization of components. This new way of thinking applies not only to military turbofan engine design, but also to the overall design of aircraft.

The most typical is nickel-based superalloys, through the continuous optimization of material composition, enhance the characteristics of materials to develop advanced processes, such as column, single crystal, eutectic, rapid solidification and super single crystal, etc., the development of new nickel-based single crystal alloys and turbine disc powder superalloys, to further enhance the characteristics of materials.

Especially in the process of development and manufacturing of new composite materials, Yang Weiping proposed to form an integrated team of structural design engineers, material personnel and process personnel from Huamei and the United States to carry out comprehensive cooperation at the beginning of the design, so that the functional characteristics of the components, the selection and determination of the composition ratio and orientation of the materials, the forming and processing process of the parts, the shape and quality of the parts have achieved real integration, and the comprehensive performance of the parts has been optimized as a whole.

This time, Huamei jointly developed a new high-thrust military turbofan engine, and Yang Weiping led the research on a variety of materials with single alloy and double performance powder discs. And by using the dual heat treatment process, the new powder metallurgy is subjected to hot isostatic pressing, extrusion billet making and superplastic forging to make a disc, and then vacuum directional heat treatment is carried out, and the method of controlling the temperature gradient is adopted to obtain different grain sizes and properties in the rim and hub part, and a dual-performance powder disc is manufactured, which is successfully applied to the high-pressure/low-pressure turbine of the WS8-B engine.

This new type of turbine disc has an improved damage tolerance capacity of the rim part, which can adapt to the micro-cracks that may occur in the tongue and groove, and the strength of the hub part is improved, which meets the requirements of high strength and low cycle fatigue.

In this process improvement, Yang Weiping also put forward a proposal for the design and manufacturer of fourth-generation fighter engines to start research on bi-alloy powder discs and bi-alloy integral turbines.

It can be said that the Americans have retrieved a lot of scriptures in the process of this cooperation, and Yang Weiping has also obtained many new materials and new equipment he wants through this cooperation. Both sides take what they need, and they are all happy.

Fast forward to the spring of 1982.

The design, processing and manufacturing technology of all parts of Y20B Global Overlord has been basically improved, and it has officially entered the manufacturing stage of the first prototype.

The entire Tiangong Aviation Science and Technology Industrial Park became loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and Yang Weiping finally relaxed the nerves that collapsed.

On this morning, Yang Weiping presided over the regular meeting of the expert group, and just returned to the office and just sat down, before he had time to take a sip of the soaked red robe, Meng Shouzheng, who was guarding the door, knocked lightly on the door to get permission and pushed the door in.

"Boss, Brigadier General Bruce Wiley from the United States has something to see, do you want to see it or not?" Meng Shouzheng walked quickly in front of Yang Weiping and asked respectfully: "If the flight taken by President Qiufang of Panshi, if it is not delayed, you have arrived at Chang'an International Airport at 11:45, and you still have one hour and fifteen minutes to spare. ”

Yang Weiping groaned slightly, pinched the lid of the cup with his right hand and gently pulled it twice on the steaming cup surface, and said indifferently: "You tell him that I will only give him half an hour." ”

Meng Shouzheng nodded in response, exited the office, and soon invited Brigadier General Bruce Wiley, who was in a suit, in.

"Chairman Yang, it's not easy to see you now. Bruce Willy smiled and reached out to shake hands with Yang Weiping, looking like he was in a good mood.

"You Americans are too good, I'm afraid that if I deal with you too much, I will make mistakes. Yang Weiping held the tea cup in his hand, motioned for the other party to sit down on the sofa, and asked with a smile: "Tea or coffee?"

"Let's drink tea!" Bruce Willie nodded and said, "I've been in Huaxia for a long time, and I've fallen in love with Huaxia's tea." ”

"General Willie, we are old friends, you can tell me anything. Yang Weiping didn't go around in circles with the other party, and said with a smile: "Half an hour later, I have to go to the airport to pick up a guest." ”

"If Chairman Yang can personally go to the airport to greet him, I think the identity of this guest must be very noble. Bruce Willie laughed visibly surprised.

"The general came to me today, and I think it may have something to do with this guest. Yang Weiping looked at Bruce Willie with a smile and smiled.

Chairman Yang's personality is still as straightforward as before. Bruce Willie laughed loudly: "Dealing with smart people is worry-free." Chairman Yang, the White House is very concerned about the situation in Myanmar. ”

Yang Weiping smiled quietly, opened the cigar box on the coffee table, and made a gesture of "please use it yourself" to Bruce Willie with his right hand, "General, recently, the government of your country has been in contact with the government of the special economic zone in northern Myanmar many times, and I believe that I can see the sincerity of my American friends.
