The American Rockwell Company is a very special company, and its way of doing business is different from that of most American companies. ↑ Dot

Like Boeing, Lockheed, Grumman, McDonnell Douglas, etc., all specialize in the manufacture of aircraft.

Pratt & Whitney, GE, etc., all focus on the R&D and manufacturing of aviation power systems.

The U.S. National Aerospace Materials Application Corporation specializes in the research of aerospace application materials.

However, the Rockwell Company of the United States is different from the above companies, and he is engaged in everything related to the aviation industry, aero engines, and aircraft. Like what. The famous B-1B supersonic strategic bomber.

He is also engaged in aviation parts and aero engine parts and even aviation materials.

In addition to this, Rockwell even engaged in automobiles to provide power systems for the American M1 tank.

In short, Rockwell's way of doing business is very special, he is like a hodgepodge.

His founder, Rockwell, was originally a financial speculator on Wall Street, but during the Great Depression in the United States in the 20s, Rockwell lost his job and left Wall Street forever.

After losing his job, Rockwell had a rough time in the first few years, but with Roosevelt's New Deal and the outbreak of World War II, he saw a new business opportunity: to invest in the aviation industry.

He sold all his assets, raised a total of $20,000 through Wall Street connections, founded Rockwell & Co., and began to invest in the aviation industry.

This company is somewhat similar to Masayoshi Son's SoftBank, all aviation-related industries, he has participated in investment, he not only invested but also personally industrialized the manufacturing of the aviation industry, decades later, Rockwell has developed to today, that is, aircraft manufacturing, aero engine manufacturing, aviation parts manufacturing, aviation materials manufacturing and other comprehensive aviation groups.

The relationship between Rockwell and Pratt & Whitney and GE is to love and kill each other, they cooperate with each other and are hostile to each other, like competing for the third-generation engine of the US military aircraft, GE and Pratt & Whitney even have hand seat covers, to kick Rockwell out, Ambrera is innocently involved, resulting in the authorization of the B-1 bomber's toy, and Rockwell does not want to give it at all.

In desperation, Ling Shizhe had to open the cheat again, and replace B-1 with the "white swan" of later generations, Tu-160, as the transformer of Megatron, the leader of the villain of "Transformers".

Ling Shizhe has made up his mind, if you don't want to authorize, don't accept it, in the eyes of animation toy manufacturers, the B-1 is just a fashionable flying shape no matter how tall it is, because they don't need to build airplanes, they are just toy manufacturers.

Since you don't give me the authorization, Lao Tzu will bypass your shape patent and redesign a supersonic strategic bomber.

After thinking about it, Ling Shizhe set his goal on the famous Tu-160 in later generations.

Tu-160 is a typical product of the Cold War, is a new generation of strategic bomber developed by the Soviet Union to counter the United States B-1 supersonic strategic bomber, from the appearance of the two, the Tu-160 is basically not much different except for a circle larger than the B-1.

Using the Tu-160 as a deformation to replace the B-1 Megatron, both to ensure Megatron's design shape and bypass the B-1's patent, was a brilliant plan.

It took an hour for Ling Shizhe to design the Tu-160 version of Megatron, the humanoid appearance is almost exactly the same as the B-1 version of Megatron, but after his transformation, he is a living "white swan".

Allison, Foster, and Andy were all silent after watching it, and it took a long time for the three of them to give him a thumbs up, and this method was passed.

Ling Shizhe did not stop and continued to paint on the drawing board, this time he was no longer drawing the graphics of "King Kong in Disguise", but drawing classic car drawings of later generations.

Since those automobile companies and automobile companies were stingy and did not give him authorization, Ling Shizhe simply designed it himself, and drew all kinds of classic cars from major automobile companies in the 21st century, as the carrier of Transformers, and robbed them of the car shape patents of later generations.

If you want to use it, pay royalties, and you can't lose a penny. Grandees? Design it yourself. If you dare to card me, I will card your future, anyway, Ling Shizhe is not engaged in automobile manufacturing, there is no loss at all.

Like the Ford Mondeo, Focus, Audi series, Jaguar series, Mercedes-Benz series, Range Rover Evoque series, etc., all of which were registered in advance, and the shape of these cars will be the material for the anime "Transformers" in the future.

At noon, Ling Shizhe stopped writing, and in just one morning, he drew seven different types of classic cars, including sedans, SUVs, station wagons, off-road, pickups, etc.

That's it for now, the rest of Ling Shizhe plans to draw it slowly in the future, after all, Alison came all the way from Canada, and he didn't come to see him paint.

Twisting his swollen arm and sorting out the sketches, Ling Shizhe said: "Alison, when you go back to Canada, take these paintings with you, and by the way, register the shape patent, and these cars will be used as the original copy of the Transformers." Okay, that's the end of the question, and we'll move on to the second question after lunch. ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Lunch was fairly simple, everyone ordered a burger set at a nearby fast-food restaurant, and lunch was rushed to the table.

Back in the office, Allison took out the draft of the "Future Development Plan of China Aircraft Corporation and Ambrera Jet and Propulsion Laboratory Department" that Ling Shizhe faxed to him a few days ago, and said: "Boss, I have read your draft carefully, I have no opinion on the part of the aircraft, and I agree with your plan, but the aero engine part is not enough, and we don't have enough new projects to support him." ”

Ling Shizhe flipped through the plan and explained: "We used "Transformers" as his previous profit support, and the second-echelon projects of the nitro-powered model aircraft engine and the miniature turbojet engine, plus the profits of the exhaust gas turbocharger, are temporarily enough in the early stage. ”

"Not enough, not enough at all, boss, the technical difficulty and investment density of aero engines, far beyond your imagination, these alone are far from enough, my suggestion is, it is best to use all the anime as a source of funds for aircraft companies, aviation power, we will find another one." Foster added.

Allison nodded and said: "I agree with Foster's opinion, aero engines have high requirements for industrial workers, and we can't solve the manufacturing problems just by making a few model aircraft power, we must find new projects, preferably new projects related to the aero engine industry, so that even if we can't make aero engines in the end, we can become a supplier of aero power parts." ”

"Looks like you've got a plan, right? Tell me what kind of new project it is. ”

Foster looked at Alison, who nodded at him, and he took out a document from the briefcase he was carrying, and Ling Shizhe took it and looked at it, with the words "Big Leaves" written on it.

After reading this plan, Ling Shizhe completely understood their plan, and it was obvious that Alison and they thought that we would not be able to build an aero engine on our own.

First of all, Hong Kong has no qualified skilled workers, no relevant talents in the field of engines, and no supporting industries and materials industry for aero engines.

But Ling Shizhe is their boss, they are not easy to refute, so they came up with such a compromise plan, aero engine your boss don't think about it for the time being, first make the relevant parts of the engine, Ambrera company has a precision department, has manufactured a lot of new precision production equipment, such as what lithography machine, etching machine, vapor deposition equipment and other high-precision chip processing equipment, and now is developing precision CNC machine tools, there is no problem in precision machining technology.

Combining aerospace precision parts with the precision department, specializing in the production of precision parts for aero engines, Alison and Foster believe that this is a promising project.

Andy Grove agrees with the duo that aero engines are not something you can do if you want to, and he is subject to too many political restrictions;

Secondly, if the aircraft is called the crown of the industry, then the aero engine is the crown jewel of this crown, the aero engine is too difficult, the technology is too complicated.

Andy believes that it is a very good development project to retreat to make aero-engine-related precision parts. Second, there is no need to worry about all kinds of political restrictions.

Because there is no country in the world, except for the Soviet Union and China, is to give the aviation power industry project to the whole package, since we can't be all-inclusive, we will participate in it, there will be no political problems, Europe and the United States welcome it is too late.

Allison and Foster discussed for a long time, how to convince Ling Shizhe, to convince him that he must find a feasible and promising project, because Ling Shizhe's aeronautical materials laboratory has begun to start, and it can't be stopped, if you can't find a good project, you can't convince him.

In the end, after thinking about it, they found the big blade.
