103. Effects
With these two battles, the plane completely entered the field of vision.
In the eyes of the Japanese and Russians who had fought against China, it was a terrible thing, and it not only brought great psychological pressure to people, but also had a very destructive power in itself. Western countries originally had a wait-and-see attitude towards aircraft, and they each had their own airship fleet, but they did not fully tap the combat capability of aircraft. However, an air battle between China and Japan made them see the advantages of the aircraft in the face of the airship, and at the same time, the fatal weakness of the airship was also clearly exposed in front of their eyes.
A large number of orders are frantically pouring towards the aircraft factory, and the demand for aircraft in European countries has reached a point that far exceeds the production capacity of the Gushi aircraft factory. Some countries have also indicated that they want to import the turboshaft fighters newly developed by the Gushi Aircraft Factory, but the Gushi Factory has not agreed.
Fighters for their own people can't be produced, where are the surplus turboshaft machines to sell to foreigners? Don't look at the current aircraft manufacturing technology in Huaguo, after all, there are only a few production lines. Moreover, it is still necessary to do a good job in secrecy work, and at least until the Gu Aircraft Factory develops a flying machine with performance that surpasses that of turboshaft fighters, it is impossible for them to relentlessly sell their fighters to those countries in Europe. In the same way, if the Chinese wanted to buy the latest weapons developed by those people from Britain and the United States, they would not agree to it. Whoever gives away the opportunity in his hands to others is a fool!
China's attitude is resolute, and although those Western countries covet turboshaft fighters, they are helpless for a while. Today's China is no longer what it used to be, and it is not something they can bully or threaten at will. From the tragic situation of Russia and Japan, we can know that if any country dares to despise China, it will surely taste the bitter fruit. If they weren't fighting the European war, maybe they could still unite and deal with Huaguo, but now, they are all anxious, and they dare to make enemies everywhere? If the Chinese are forced to the side of the Allies, who will they cry to? They want to get the big killer weapon of Huaguo, but they don't want to be targeted by the big killer weapon at all!
Although turboshaft fighters were not sold, the manufacturing chain of piston propeller aircraft swelled at a breakneck rate.
In the days after the end of the war, reports about aircraft could be seen in the newspapers almost every day. As the heroes of this war, the Chinese people have a very high enthusiasm for airplanes, not to mention the airplanes themselves, which are very dreamy, and they are naturally happy to discuss this topic.
Although many of them, let alone airplanes, airships or hot air balloons, may not have seen them, this does not prevent them from imagining what these heroes would look like soaring through the sky. Whoever does not know the glorious deeds of the aircraft is left behind.
In the teahouse, storytellers concocted various versions of the story to tell how the heroic air force beat the Japanese and Russian troops to the ground; In the newspapers, the literati wrote many articles and poems praising the airplane, calling it "a highly imaginative creation" and "the greatest miracle of the beginning of this century".
Some vendors with a keen sense of smell have signed contracts with the Gu's Aircraft Factory to make all kinds of models in the shape of real airplanes and sell them in stores, not to mention, the business is so good that those aircraft models are sold out within a few days of being on the shelves. It can be said that the hunger and thirst of the masses for this mysterious thing has reached a critical point. Now, any topic related to aircraft, or something that touches the ground, can arouse their great interest.
Although the aircraft is still only used for military purposes, it is now completely popular. There is no need for Gu's factory to do publicity, there are a large number of people busy helping them promote such magical things.
"This is truly an unprecedented feat." A literati who has reached the twilight of his life sighed that he was a master of the literati world, who had lived long enough and experienced enough things, that he thought that there was nothing to make him fuss about.
Looking at the model airplane on his desk, and recalling the excitement on the student's face when he sent it, the old man hung his head, the corners of his mouth curled, but there were tears in his eyes.
Young people, young industries, from these energetic people and industries, he seems to see the hope of national rejuvenation.
If a year ago, no, half a year ago, who sued him that the Chinese Congress had today, he would not have believed it. But facts have proved that the younger generation has indeed done what their generation did not do, and has worked hard to create a world that belongs to them.
Now that he is old, it is unlikely that even if he has an interest in aviation, he will turn to it, but he can do something else.
The old man stared at the phone in the room for a moment, and then suddenly walked towards it.
"Old friend, don't you think it's time to add a course to the school, no, an academy?"
β¦β¦
The initiative of a university in city A to add aviation colleges is like throwing a stone into the water, stirring up layers of waves, and many colleges and universities have reacted and followed the university's measures. Nowadays, the rise of the aviation industry has become an inevitable trend, and if any comprehensive university is indifferent to it, it will fall behind the others.
Before the two battles, not to mention the people who have studied the flying industry, even those who have heard of the flying industry are rare; After that, although most people still know little about it, many science and engineering students have a desire to understand it and explore it.
Although there is a lack of knowledge reserves and educational resources in major universities for aviation, isn't Gu Shuhan there? In order to cultivate more talents in the aviation industry, Gu Shuhan has set up a special organization to communicate with major universities and regularly deliver some research results to major universities. No matter how bad it is, there are universities such as University B, Gu Shuhan has personally lectured in these universities, and communicated with the professors and students of these universities, if they send teachers or students to these colleges and universities to listen to lectures and communicate with the professors and students of these universities, they will definitely benefit a lot.
For the Chinese people, many things are established in the process of exploration. While the professors are researching, the students are also researching, which promotes the continuous progress of academics.
β¦β¦
There was a long queue in front of D University, and these days happened to be the time for colleges and universities to register.
"Do you want to go to the aviation academy again?"
"No, since those air forces have contributed to our country, I don't know how many people want to enter this academy. Don't look at the aviation academy has just been established for a long time, the market is good! β
Someone listened to it and secretly stammered.
"Anyone who comes to sign up will be able to get into the aviation academy?"
"Wrong, because this academy has just opened, teaching resources are limited, and the principal is ready to let the aviation academy take the elite route, and he doesn't plan to recruit too many people. Therefore, most of the people who came were going to be driven back. Besides, although the aviation industry is important, shipbuilding and road construction also need to be done by someone, so let students drill aviation colleges, what about other old colleges? β
"That's right." The man stared at the winding procession for a long time, and sure enough, he saw that many of the students had left with their heads down.
For various reasons, the newly established aviation academy has become synonymous with elite colleges.
And Gu Shuhan, who introduced this industry to China, has been covered with a layer of sacred color in the hearts of the students. As they learn more and more about the aviation industry, their respect for Gu Shuhan grows deeper and deeper. Due to the location, Gu Shuhan is unable to teach in colleges and universities across the country, but this does not prevent students from longing for Gu Shuhan.
Every time Gu Shuhan made a remark and held a lecture about the aviation industry, the students of these colleges and universities would do everything possible to get the relevant information in their hands, and greedily looked at every word Gu Shuhan said on the data. At this time, the students who have the means to get the materials must be crowded with people nearby, and the people in their own class and the people in the neighboring classes will borrow the materials from them and rush to circulate them first.
In addition, every time the newspaper published the latest things from the Gu Aircraft Factory, they would cut out the news and treasure it in their notebooks. All kinds of actions are enough to see how far-reaching Gu Shuhan's impact is on them.
If Gu Shuhan at the beginning of her business was still a representative of women in the new era and an idol in the minds of these students, then now, with the development of the aviation industry, her status in society and in the hearts of students is very different from before.
In the past, she was still an object that could be chased and imitated, but now, when it comes to her, they only worship. Students who can enter major colleges and universities are naturally intelligent and arrogant, but at the same time, they are also self-aware.
Although there are few people who do very well in industry, there are still them; There are only people who can create a new industry on their own. What's more, Gu Shuhan is not following behind Western countries to pick up people's wisdom, but walking at the forefront of the times and walking in front of the world, which is enough to make them proud.
Although they can't do Gu Shuhan's kind of Cheng dΓΉ, they also hope to participate in it personally and contribute their own strength to this glorious cause.
At the time of the influx of students into this new major, a group of students studying the aviation industry near City B graduated, some of them joined the expanding Gu's aircraft factory, some joined the newly opened material production plant of the Gu's factory, and some joined the Gu's factory in cooperation with other factories.
With so many orders from Europe and the United States, it was naturally difficult for Gu's factory to win alone, so Gu Shuhan began to follow the example of the previous one and set up factories with other factory owners to produce materials and other things.
In the aviation manufacturing industry, Gu's factory has no peers in China, and those factories who see business opportunities from the rise of aircraft and want to get a piece of the pie must rely on the guidance of Gu's factory to cross the threshold of this industry. Therefore, for the factories that cooperate with Gu's factory, this cooperation is different from the previous cooperation.
In the past, although the two alliances were also respected by the Gu's factory, they had not yet reached the point where the Gu's factory was dominant, and in the aviation industry, the Gu's factory had the absolute dominance and right to speak. Therefore, the eyes of the industry bigwigs looking at Shu Han are different from before.
For these, Gu Shuhan naturally will not be unaware, but her attitude towards people and things is still the same as in the past, neither humble nor arrogant, tough when she should be tough, gentle when she should be gentle, and her business partners are not surprised to see her so pampered, and they admire her more and more.
