Chapter 1253 The World's Largest Transport Aircraft

"What, Xiao Guo, are you still not satisfied?" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

When Guo Zhuocheng heard this, he immediately knew that it was Qian Xuesen who was coming, so he quickly stood up, stretched out his hand, and said enthusiastically: "Professor Qian, Happy New Year." Here I wish you a prosperous New Year, family harmony and all the best in the New Year. ”

Qian Xuesen did not expect Guo Xiaocheng to say this, in the face of so many people to say Wishing you prosperity, almost no one dared to say the word "fortune" in the past ten years, although there are many people in the people to say it, but in formal occasions it is said very little, when there are many officials in the officialdom, no one says it, generally say what auspicious words "everything goes well, progress together".

Although Qian Xuesen is also a high-ranking official, he is more of a technical expert and not old-fashioned. After listening to Guo Shucheng's words, he said with a smile: "Then thanks to you, the God of Wealth, we will all get rich." I also wish you even more progress in the new year. ”

Qian Xuesen greeted the people around him for a while, Guo Zhuocheng and the experts who came with Qian Xuesen exchanged greetings, and then the two walked to a small conference room and sat down.

Qian Xuesen continued what he just said and asked, "Xiao Guo, why does such a good thing seem to be not interested?" ”

Guo Zhuocheng smiled and said, "Where do you see that I am not interested?" I was overjoyed to see the progress of the aviation industry. If this aircraft is of good quality and stable performance, then we can make a lot of money, it can be sold at home and abroad, and we will have more opportunities to meet in the future. ”

Qian Xuesen also smiled and said, "You say joy in your mouth, but you don't think so in your heart, right?" Do you think that the progress of aviation in our country is still too slow? ”

Guo Zhuocheng has long appreciated Qian Xuesen's wisdom, and he can guess his heart. Without a trace of surprise in his heart, he nodded and said: "Yes, now we have such a good international environment, as long as we ask for it, as long as it does not involve their core military secrets, we can buy their patents, we can learn their technology, and we can buy their latest materials." You can also buy their spare parts, why can we still only build small planes? ”

Qian Xuesen said: "It has opened my eyes to be able to make such great progress, and now the progress is greater than our previous years." Why aren't you satisfied? This technology is not about setting up a factory, as long as you have money to buy equipment, as long as you have money to recruit workers. The plant can be built in a few months, the equipment can be debugged, and the workers can be produced. Products can be built from nothing in no time. There are so many aspects of this aviation that it is by no means a casual progress. Even if we are only students, and a foreigner teaches us how to work, we don't learn it right away.

Actually, how is the progress in aviation? You know best, and you know why, not because of what you asked for at the time, or if you didn't say you had to study the engine thoroughly. To catch up in the field of engines and strive to be on an equal footing with developed aviation countries? Your idea is very correct and steady. Because the engine is the heart of the aircraft, do not make up for the shortcomings of the engine. Even if we build a big plane, we can't fly. It's not safe to fly.

Now our main energy is focused on the aero engine, are concentrated on the fuselage, our experts have figured out the characteristics of this aspect, have mastered a lot of key technologies, so the overall development of the aircraft seems to be slower, this is understandable, but also gratifying, why are you not satisfied? Are you also having a hot head? Hehe. ”

Guo Shucheng laughed self-deprecatingly: "Only if we are not satisfied will there be progress, we must be very satisfied, so how can we progress?" I couldn't help but blame myself for being a little too anxious. Then, he asked, "Professor Qian, what do you say the organization asked me to do here?" And why are you here too? I don't believe you have time to watch the excitement here. ”

Qian Xuesen said: "Why can't I come? I'm happy to see them make so much progress, and I'm here to share their joy and learn from them. I should have come, and I would like to come a few more times if I had the chance. Don't you see the meaning of the emphasis here? ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "You may have your reason for coming here, but I am a layman in aviation, what am I doing here?" ”

Qian Xuesen said: "You came too late, so no leader told you, and your identity and actions are strictly required to be kept confidential. When it's time to eat, there will be a leader who will tell you why you invited you over. You think we're on this plane? Hehe. ”

Guo Zhuocheng's eyes lit up and asked, "Are there other planes?" ”

Qian Xuesen said: "There are no ready-made ones, but they will be soon." Before assembling a new large aircraft, the organization would like to consult you. This is a real big guy, developed for the military, a strategic transport aircraft. ”

"Huh? Strategic transport aircraft? Since when? Guo Zhuocheng was shocked and asked, "What is the maximum load?" ”

Qian Xuesen said: "The maximum commercial load is 107 tons. It is less than the carrying capacity of the American C5 transport aircraft. ”

The world's largest military transport aircraft is the Soviet Union's An-225, a six-engine turbofan aircraft developed by the Ukrainian Antonov Aviation Research and Technology Consortium is the world's largest heavy transport aircraft, with a commercial load of 250 tons. However, it has not yet officially started development, but the design and research began in July 1985, the prototype made its first flight on December 21, 1988, and the first flight of the space shuttle "Buran" on May 13, 1989. Because of the collapse of the Soviet Union and Russia's economic difficulties, the production of one aircraft was stopped after production, which became a regrettable swan song.

Another well-known military transport aircraft is the American C5 transport aircraft. It began development at the end of 1964, began test flights in June 1968, and Lockheed delivered the first C5 to the United States in June 1970. This transport aircraft later became the most famous military transport aircraft in the world, with a commercial weight of 118 tons. Even in the previous life, this aircraft has not been outdated, and its figure has continued to appear in various hot spots in the world, becoming one of the symbols of the powerful military power of the US military.

Hearing the news, Guo Zhuocheng was overjoyed: this is the aircraft he most wants to appear in his heart.

He said again and again: "Great, just great." ......, but why don't we design it bigger, with a larger commercial capacity, more than the C5 in the United States? ”

Qian Xuesen said with a wry smile: "I know that if you are invited to come, you will have the same opinion, that is, you must be big, domineering, mighty, and overpower the United States." ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "Of course. Why are the Americans' military transport aircraft more powerful than ours? They started designing in 64 years, and now we are 84 years old, which is 20 years later than them, and they have bought a lot of patented technology, and obtained relevant materials from the United States and other countries. ”

Qian Xuesen said: "Actually, I also have this idea, but experts are worried that the pursuit is too high, the risk will increase exponentially, now the United States C5 transport aircraft is a very mature product, we have some reference when developing our own transport aircraft, although we can not obtain their core technology, but we can use the number of guΓ² peripheral jΓΉ and similar technology for reverse tracking, a little bit of the bottom of the mind, if we completely carry out independent design, the risk is too great, no one dares to say that it will be successful." ”

Guo Zhuocheng thought about it for a while, which is in line with the style he advocated before. Suddenly, he remembered the Soviet An-225 transport plane and couldn't help but say: "Let's just divide it into two parts." Some of them will continue to develop the models they are now preparing to develop, and some of them will study larger and more advanced models, and the two sides will compete and learn from each other. Professor Qian, if China wants to become a big country, it must have military aircraft that are compatible with the big powers. It's not good to always run behind other people's butts. ”

Qian Xuesen's eyes widened and said, "Xiao Guo, are you kidding?" At present, the research of this model is dwarfed, not only lack of talent, but more importantly, lack of funding. Now they are all compressing and compressing the funds of civil aircraft, and the opinions of civil aircraft are already very large, and you still have two models, and it is also a model that no one dares to do, which makes it difficult for the country to come up with a lot of money. ”

Guo Shucheng said: "I have to talk to the superior leaders to see if they accept the third capital investment and whether they are willing to cooperate with other countries on the new model." ”

Qian Xuesen knew that Guo Zhuocheng was rich enough to rival the country, and if the state allowed him to invest in private shares, or the company controlled by him, there would be no problem with funds. If the United States develops a model, the capital demand can be reduced by half, or even only one-third, because China is not only low in labor, but also low in raw materials, and the only thing that is more expensive than the United States is the purchase of patents and other technologies.

It is estimated that Guo Zhuocheng can cover this money alone, and the country can not pay a penny.

However, military projects, especially high-tech military projects, have always been forbidden for private individuals to interfere, and no matter how rich they are, they cannot become shareholders due to this threshold.

However, Qian Xuesen believes that if the project that Guo Zhuocheng said started from scratch and did not use Chinese technology for free, and the overall project was controlled by the state, and Guo Zhuocheng had a good relationship with the head of the central government, and the head of the central government fully trusted him, perhaps this could be done and would have agreed to his shareholding. It can be said that even if the project fails, the state does not have to bear any risks, the main risks are borne by Guo Zhuocheng, and once successful, Guo Zhuocheng can only get a part of the dividends from it, without the permission of the state, he cannot take the military aircraft to sell outside, and the country will get the greatest benefit.
