The 20-minute flight also allowed Soichiro Honda to fully feel the Y-12, and the plane landed safely at the small airport of China Eastern Airlines.

Soichiro Honda was full of praise for this aircraft, and Lin Qiangsheng took him on a tour of his aircraft factory, and the old gentleman was very surprised by the aviation manufacturing capacity of the Eastern Star Group. Although Honda also established an airline in '85, it was just getting started.

Lin Qiangsheng introduced to him: "At present, our company has participated in the . At the same time, we have established cooperative relations with many subsidiaries of the Ministry of Aviation Industry of China and AVIC Technology Import and Export Corporation. Our goal is to build a civil aircraft, and we are already working on a medium-sized airliner project with MBB in Germany. ”

Soichiro Honda was even more surprised, and the two entourages were also very surprised, they both realized that the aviation project of the Eastern Star Group was by no means the playful nature of Honda Airlines, but was very serious, and it really wanted to build civil aircraft.

Soichiro Honda asked solemnly: "Lin Jun, do you want to cooperate with Germany to develop a medium-sized passenger aircraft?" ”

The old gentleman said with some excitement: "Excuse me, what does this medium-sized civil aircraft look like, can I take a look at the technical drawings or renderings, please!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "No problem, Mr. Honda, please come with me." ”

Several people were taken to the Dongxing Aircraft Research Institute and saw the design drawings of the MPC75 "∧ Chief", ∧ Wind", ∧ Text" and renderings.

"Amazing, I didn't expect your Dongxing Group to already take action in the aviation field!" Soichiro Honda was very happy and carefully observed the parameter settings of the MPC75.

Lin Qiangsheng calmly took out the drawings, just to let Soichiro Honda face up to the strength of the Eastern Star Group.

In fact, there is nothing to hide in this project, although Japan's aviation capabilities are not sound, but they are very strong in individual fields such as active phased array radar technology and wing fusion.

Japan was many years ahead of China in the development of passenger aircraft, and soon after World War II, it developed its own jet fighter. When Yun 10 was still struggling in the quagmire, Japan's YS11 got the FAA airworthiness certificate as early as 10 years ago.

Although the models are different, Japan still made certain achievements in the field of civil aviation at that time, and this civil aircraft sold 182 units, which is considered a mass production model, and it can be said that Japan's aviation scientific research capabilities were stronger than China's in the early days.

In Lin Qiang's previous life, the ARJ21700 has obtained the Chinese airworthiness certificate (the airworthiness regulations of the CAAC are basically copied from the FAA), and the FAA airworthiness certificate is just around the corner, but the MRJ regional airliner led by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is lagging behind.

Interestingly, in the 90s, China, Japan and South Korea discussed and approved civil aircraft projects. At that time, some experts in the field of aviation proposed that the United States has Boeing, Europe has Airbus, and Asia has something.

So China, Japan, and South Korea came together, but China and Japan were wary of each other for historical reasons, and South Korea was not very willing to play a supporting role between China and Japan.

At this time, Boeing stepped forward and led the project between the three parties, and Boeing also promised the three countries technology.

But in fact, Boeing has the idea of delaying time with the mud, and when Sino-US relations are tense, Boeing immediately quit. Later, Airbus jumped out again, and in fact, it was to buy time for its own model, and after the development of the new model was completed, they were also like Boeing, completely playing with China, Japan and South Korea.

After 2000, China put forward its own aircraft development plan C919 and ARJ, while Japan also established its own regional airliner project MRJ.

Although China's aircraft development technology is one step ahead of Japan's, Japan's localization rate is higher than China's.

Boeing Airbus are purchasing parts in Japan, Boeing's composite materials are almost all purchased in Japan, and Europe's V2500 aero engine Japan is also a participant, as for other electronic semiconductors, large structural parts of the procurement is more, Japan's aviation industry has changed from parts production to modular production, accounting for a larger proportion, stronger competitiveness.

Lin Qiangsheng did not want to engage in Sino-Japanese cooperation, this is a fundamentally unrealistic idea, let Japan join China's civil aircraft program is purely to make himself uncomfortable, if he cooperates with Japan, the other party's advanced technology products will immediately overwhelm the entire project and seize the dominance.

Soichiro Honda gave full affirmation after looking at the project plan of the MPC75.

He said to Lin Qiangsheng from the bottom of his heart: "China has a vast land area, and if this project is successful, your regional airliner will become a big winner in China's aviation market!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Honda, I hope so." ”

Next, they arrived at the headquarters of the Eastern Star Group, and at this time, Hirotoshi Honda and others also arrived. After that, Lin Qiangsheng took everyone to visit various factories.

Five or six years ago, when China had just reformed and opened up, it was still a beginner in the automobile industry, but now seeing such a modern factory surprised Mr. Honda, and Honda Hiroshi was also surprised by the progress of the Chinese.

At Dongxing's parts processing plant, most of the workers are dressed in neat white uniforms, and a few people wear black and red clothing, which looks professional and efficient.

Then Soichiro Honda visited Ben Cheng Volkswagen and saw the new car production line, which is similar to the Honda factory, and uses a large number of automatic robots, and the automation on the production line is very high.

"It's amazing, it's been a lot of progress, I can't believe it's only been five years since this car factory was built!" Soichiro Honda said with emotion to Huang Zhaoluan, director of the Binqi plant.

Huang Zhaoluan said: "This is still Mr. Lin's leadership, he has always asked us to increase automated production, we didn't understand before, now we understand, the improvement of automation is directly proportional to the improvement of quality, and the efficiency is very high." ”

Then he asked Honda, "Mr. Honda, how does your company arrange for the replacement employees?" ”

Soichiro Honda said, "We at Honda Motor Company will take into account our employees, help them learn new skills, and design the future for them," said Soichiro Honda. Employees work hard for the company, they have contributed their youth and sweat to the development of Honda, Honda can not abandon anyone, every employee has a suitable position for him! ”

Huang Zhaoluan nodded, he also very much agreed with the old gentleman's statement, maybe there is no contradiction between manual and machine.

The province prepared a welcome dinner for Soichiro Honda, which was attended by provincial and municipal leaders, and also prepared a wonderful welcome program.

The next day, Lin Qiangsheng invited Soichiro Honda to give a speech at Tosei College, and his arrival was also warmly welcomed by the students, although many people in this era did not know who Soichiro Honda was.

Lin Qiangsheng announced on the spot that the establishment of the Automotive Technology Research Institute, Dongxing and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. will also jointly establish a research and development center, and the graduate students who enter this college and research and development center will go to the design centers set up in Japan and Germany, and the students immediately cheered excitedly.

The next day, after some discussions with Soichiro Honda, Lin decided to establish a company specializing in the development of automobile engine technology, and would fully cooperate with Honda Motor in the field of engines, and he had this idea for a long time.

After visiting the Toho Group, Soichiro Honda was impressed by the area, and he believed that Toseshi already had the technical ability to cooperate with Honda.

While Honda has always focused on various car races, Lin Qiangsheng is eager to let his car brand also participate in the world's top car competitions, and he will invest heavily in cooperation with Honda Motor to develop an F1 super engine.

The only super-engines currently available in F1 are Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Renault and Honda.

The F1 World Formula One Championship is a well-known "aristocratic" sport, which means that participating in this event is very expensive and costs money. It is the most expensive, fastest, and highest-tech sport in the world, and it is the sports event with the highest commercial value, the most charm, and the most attractive to watch.

F1 is a collection of top technologies in the automotive industry, a huge and sophisticated system engineering, and it is definitely not a car assembly plant that can pull equipment to dig up a group of engineers and drivers and spend a little money to win the championship, nor is it a car assembly plant that can build a car with assembly equipment.

Lin Johnson wants to enter F1 in order to improve the technical level of his cars and keep up with the world's high standards.

F1 is completely different from the production car, the entire chassis, including the monocoque, suspension, floor plate, aero kit, all have to be built by themselves, and to meet the standards, without relevant technical experience and factories, this is simply an impossible task.

Honda, on the other hand, organized an F1 team in 1964, and although they did not win a grand prize in F1 racing, they had experience. Lin Qiangsheng intends to hire Honda's technicians to help him form his own Dongxing team! (To be continued.) )
