Far on the other side of the globe:

After receiving the first-hand gossip from Yang Hui's side, Chief Master Wang had some preparations in advance, and began to negotiate with Grumman in order to determine the itinerary as soon as possible, but quickly reached a certain consensus with Grumman.

Therefore, when the army on the republic's side called the United States, General Division Wang directly did not have more words: "This is absolutely impossible, please rest assured that our project progress and performance, they are all progressing in strict accordance with the requirements, and there is absolutely no unqualified technology, which we can absolutely guarantee, and even provide a test aircraft for technical performance and performance test flight in a few days." ”

Hearing that, he directly insisted that there was no technical problem, and even offered to provide a test plane back for a test flight, which didn't feel like a technical problem.

But the next moment there is no problem, since people are so active to provide the test aircraft to the army for testing, with the temperament of the army for many years, there is no need to even guess, this kind of benefit delivered to the mouth has never been let go, and the next moment it should be agreed immediately.

"Yes, then I hope you can fly the plane back as soon as possible, we need to conduct a test flight as soon as possible, we have invested so much money in it, or should there be some results."

The new early warning patrol aircraft is based on the Y-7 100 passenger aircraft provided by Xifei, and because it does not use the radar arrangement of E3/E2, the impact of the radome on aerodynamics is not too great. The large nose of the nose looks a little jarring, but it is also the scheme that has the least impact on the aerodynamics. At the same time, it is also the best solution to give full play to the performance of the AWG-9 radar.

"Okay, I'll go home with the plane. This time I will definitely appease the domestic army, and this project will definitely not be able to repeat itself, so the No. 2 test plane here still has to seize the time to test the flight, and everything is waiting for my good news. ”

After explaining the 38 technicians who came to see them off and continued to participate in the development, after telling Grumman, Chief Master Wang went back to China with the test plane, and if Yang Hui was here, he would definitely not agree to Chief Master Wang's risky behavior.

The Y-7 100 is a regional airliner that could not have flown across the ocean. Even if the United States has many military bases in the Pacific, there is still a considerable distance between these military bases, and it is still difficult for the Y-7-100 aircraft to fly back to the Republic even if it is refueled in the middle of the way.

But at this time, the aircraft is no longer the Yun-7 100 passenger aircraft, but based on the Yun-7 100 based on the development of early warning aircraft, after the installation of some fuselage soft fuel tanks, the range is also better than the Yun-7 100, along the way is still a thrilling flight over the vast Pacific Ocean, in the middle of the way is also to experience a handful of customs along the way.

By the time the plane again landed at the military base of the republic, it was already the last days of May. The news reached Yang Hui's ears. This is a long sigh of relief, after the plane comes back, this early warning aircraft project can be regarded as doing its best to ensure the possibility of success in the future.

And Yang Hui's side doesn't need to pay more attention to the situation here. The army's test flight work will definitely be carried out for ten days and half a month before it stops, and by the time the army's test flight is completed, the imperial capital incident has already broken out. After that, do you still use Yang Hui to care? Putting his eyes back on the Southwest Science and Industry again, there are various things going on during this period of time. In particular, the matter of the newly established United Aero Engine Company made Yang Hui troubled.

There is no reason for it. At the beginning, Director Bai had two directors, acting director of Liyangchang, and general manager of Southwest Science and Industry, and later the company established a titanium alloy processing base, and Bai was recommended to serve as the director of the titanium alloy processing base. Later, although Director Bai handed over the position of general manager of Southwest Science and Industry to Yang Hui, only the positions of director of the titanium alloy processing base, director of the second institute, and director of Liyang were left.

But now Southwest Science and Industry has merged all its engine business together, and established a new company again, Director Bai became the general manager of the company again, since he became the general manager of the new company, Director Bai is not planning to take on too many positions, including the director of the second institute, the director of the titanium alloy processing base, and the two positions are ready to be discharged.

The resignation letter on these two positions was also placed on Yang Hui's desk early, this matter is really very difficult for Yang Hui to choose, the position of director of the second institute is not too difficult to decide, with the experience of the administrative structure of the military equipment research institute of the Republic for many years, it is usually the chief designer who also serves as the director.

Now the two institutes have a total of two projects at the same time, CG-2000 engine, turbofan 12 are now doing big projects, the chief engineer of both projects is qualified to be the chief engineer of the second institute, this would have been a more difficult choice, but under the special national conditions of the republic, this choice seems too simple, too much.

"Old director, what do you think of the vacated position of director this time by Chief Master Li taking over the task? Chief Engineer Li is now leading the team to do the research and development of turbofan 12, and he has enough prestige in technology and is still in the prime of life, at least he will retire for more than ten years, so I personally think it is best for Chief Engineer Li to be the director. As for Mr. Wen's side, you also know that Mr. Wen's age is indeed a little too old now, and he is still working on CG-2000 research and development, so it's better not to let him be too distracted.

Yang Hui's idea is not unreasonable, and it is reasonable to let Chief Master Li take the position of director, after all, Southwest Science and Industry is still a large-scale state-owned military equipment research and development unit, and the director of an important scientific research institute under the jurisdiction of such a unit must be absolutely cautious. From the country's point of view, military projects have always been more important than civilian projects, and if we want to make a comparison between Chief Engineer Li and Chief Engineer Wen, we must think that Chief Engineer Li, who develops military products, is more weighty.

This idea was in place at the time of the previous Turbofan 12 project. The state continues to emphasize that Southwest Science and Industry should first ensure that the development of turbofan 12 is reflected, and now Yang Hui has only taken a step that meets the national requirements. To put it nicely, this is called political correctness.

"Yes. I also think so, I also discussed with Lao Wen before this, and he and I also elected Li Jufeng, the current chief designer of the turbofan 12 engine, as the director of the second institute of the United Aero Engine Company, so we two bad old men will not have any opinions, everything depends on the opinion of you, the general manager of the head office. ”

Master Wen asked Yang Hui to take his own opinions, then Yang Hui naturally wouldn't be too polite, this is not the time to be modest, there will be more headaches to decide later, Yang Hui doesn't think that his ideas can be recognized by Director Bai again.

"That's good. We have decided to let Chief Master Li be the director, so that he can better allocate the resources of the second institute for the development of turbofan 12, which is very beneficial to the development of turbofan 12. But regarding the appointment and dismissal of the director of the titanium alloy processing base this time, it is not easy for me to make a decision. ”

Titanium alloy processing base is a unit engaged in the processing of aviation titanium alloy parts recently established by Southwest Science and Industry, not only to undertake the design and manufacture of aero engine titanium alloy parts of Southwest Science and Industry, and even the manufacturing task of aero engine titanium alloy parts of other domestic units, and in this J-18 fighter project, in order to reduce the weight to the greatest extent, the titanium alloy processing base was also ordered to cooperate with the titanium alloy manufacturing of some components.

This is now the Southwest Science and Industry Titanium Alloy Processing Base. Because it is the only scorpion in the republic, it has a supreme position, and it also brings together a large number of elite people. But now Director Bai wants to put down this position, which is a little difficult to do.

In Yang Hui's plan, the titanium alloy processing base is to let Xiang Qiao, the last double god in the aviation industry, be in charge. At this time, Xiang Qiao also has a small reputation in the titanium alloy processing base, especially last time Yang Hui specially sent her an international scientific research achievement "On the Friction and Fire Problem after Fatigue Deformation between Titanium-Titanium Alloy". This makes Xiang Qiao the first person in the titanium alloy processing base to be said to be the first person in the academics.

And after that, this powerful ability in technical research was fully stimulated. Various scientific achievements have been published, especially in the field of metal surface coating of aero engine blades, and this one has a lot of technical achievements. Although the turbofan 10 engine did not use titanium alloy blades, he also made various improvements to the blades of the turbofan 10 engine, and the aluminizing technology on the surface of steel fans and compressor blades was developed in this case.

The use of aluminized steel compressor blades, the service life has been greatly enhanced, which also played a great role in the later improvement of the turbofan 10A, this technical achievement was later also used in the core engine, CG-2000, turbofan 12 engine and other types of engines.

If Yang Hui didn't know the ability of the previous face, I am afraid that she would really be regarded as a technical cow like others, and this will be trained in technical positions in the future.

But it's no wonder that Yang Hui was reborn, and knowing Xiang Qiao's ability, he naturally wouldn't let go of such a good talent. When Director Bai took the initiative to put down the position of director of the titanium alloy technician factory, he immediately remembered this great man.

"There are a lot of talents in the titanium alloy processing base, and any one can be a technical backbone in other units, so the new owner of our current titanium alloy processing base must be a talent among talents, and the best of the best must be selected, so I think Comrade Xiang Qiao is very good."

Director Bai didn't expect that Yang Hui would recommend this to take over his class, and he didn't even think about it, and the female technical strongman who was also young appeared in his head, in Director Bai's impression, this is just a technical cow, he is the current head of the technical section, and it is even possible that he will break through the restrictions and develop into the chief technical engineer of United Aero Engine Company in the future.

But to say that let this sit in the management as a manager, Director Bai personally feels that this is really a bit unreliable, he is also a young man of about the same age as Yang Hui, Director Bai does not think that Xiang Qiao can be technically top-notch and can also do a good job in administrative management. That's a little too wicked.

"Xiang Qiao is very good, in the entire team of young people of the Southwest Science and Industry Corporation. She's definitely in the top 10, which is technically pretty good. But I don't think she could have done a good job administratively as well. Even if it's you. It seems that it can only be done well administratively, and at most it is a little technical acumen, and if you really want to actually do technology, I really don't think much about you. Therefore, it is difficult to have demonic-level talents like you think, Southwest Science and Industry. ”

Having said so much, Director Bai actually has one sentence in his heart that has not been said, that is, Director Bai thinks that Xiang Qiao is a woman, and it is even less likely that she is excellent in both technology and management. However, considering that this will hurt and anger after saying this, and it does not conform to the current statement that the mainstream of the republic is also half the sky, I swallowed this word, but I still don't believe in Xiang Qiao in my heart.

This situation was really guessed by Yang Hui, but at this time, it is definitely necessary to "fight based on reason", this is the advantage of rebirth, and it can't be buried like this.

"You can't say that, Comrade Xiang Qiao's skills are first-class, you admit it, right? What you don't worry about is her administrative skills, but that's not a problem. She has done a lot of technical projects over the years, and the results are also very numerous. Have you ever wondered why she is technically so prolific? You should know that she is the head of the technical section of the titanium alloy processing base, and I remember that there are quite a few people in the technical department there, and there seem to be more than 150 technicians. ”

When Yang Hui said this, Director Bai also understood the meaning of Yang Hui's words. Follow Yang Hui and continue to think below. Director Bai was also shocked by his own conclusions, as if Xiang Qiao's technical achievements over the years were really concentrated in the last two years, and Xiang Qiao became the head of the technical section exactly three years ago in 1986. That's it

Director Bai, who looked incredulous, said to Yang Hui slowly: "Xiang Qiao seems to really have two brushes in management, after she became the head of the technical section. The technical department over there really didn't have a lot of trouble, and I thought it was just the result of the run-in of time. Now it seems that Xiang Qiao should play a role in it. It seems that Southwest Science and Industry is going to produce a double talent with excellent technology and management, which is good news. ”

Director Bai is the more he thinks about it, the more excited he is, six years ago, Yang Hui appeared in Southwest Science and Industry, and there was a golden age of rapid development in these years.

After thinking a lot about the bright future, Director Bai also began to think about the reality of the situation to see if this thing was specifically operable, and then found out.

"People are very good, but you should know that her age is about the same as yours, not even thirty years old, and she is also a lesbian, in the titanium alloy processing base, where there is a large-scale concentration of talents, I am afraid it will be difficult to quickly take over the stall I left, I am afraid that it will take a few more years to continue to develop, at least after the age of thirty."

Director Bai finally agreed with Xiang Qiao's ability, and the problem he was worried about was also what Yang Hui was worried about, so: "I also have this kind of worry, and I am ready to let you continue to be the director of this titanium alloy processing base for a few more years, I will promote Xiang Qiao to the deputy factory director, and you can leave a lot of things to her to do when the time comes, so it is the safest way to do it." ”

Yang Hui's plan is actually a copy of his change from the executive secretary general of Southwest Science and Industry to the general manager, and now it is just a change of training object. Seeing that everything has been said about this, Director Bai finally agreed to the plan here.

"If that's the case, it's a good plan, and I don't have a problem here."

After the situation here was agreed, Director Bai and Yang Hui were relieved, but it didn't take long for Director Bai to worry again, and this time it was a little laughable.

"Hey, I said General Manager Yang Huiyang, why do you care so much about Comrade Xiang Qiao, I don't feel that something is wrong. As a person who has come over, I tell you, that Yang Yue in your family is already very good, but don't have any other thoughts. You, Yang Yue, and Xiang Qiao have a great future in the future, don't mess around! ”

After speaking, Director Bai also looked Yang Hui up and down, which made Yang Hui also quite speechless, did he want to tell Director Bai that Xiang Qiao had been with Zhong Jianjian for a long time? (To be continued.) )
