As Atlas opened up more and more technology and details to Johnson Lin, the cooperation between the two parties gradually became closer and closer.

South Africans have their own underground channels, which can purchase more advanced military-grade processing equipment from the West, and in order to cover up the eyes and ears of Lin Johnson and Johnson set up a propeller aircraft factory in South Africa, bought a few old World War II propeller planes and put them in the company, while recruiting some local engineers, and at the same time carrying out entrepot trade through the channels of South Africans.

On the surface, Lin Qiangsheng really wanted to jointly engage in the development of aero engines with the South Africans, but in fact, Lin Qiangsheng ordered two more copies of the machinery and equipment imported by them every time, and shipped them back to China at the right time.

The current social environment in South Africa is very bad, with large-scale withdrawal of foreign-funded enterprises, factory shutdowns, and continuous riots by blacks, and even ordinary white South Africans have many who want to leave the country and immigrate to calm European and American countries, and the South African government can no longer control it.

In addition, Daniel is very welcome to Lin Qiangsheng to order equipment through them, their family can not only earn a lot of foreign exchange, but also as Lin Qiangsheng takes out more and more information, a lot of new materials and new processes also need to be studied, which requires ordering a batch of new experimental equipment and materials, with Lin Qiangsheng's investment, the originally overstretched aircraft development can be accelerated!

Lin Qiangsheng took out some of the engine technology he mastered and handed it to Daniel, turbofan 6 and turbofan 6 modification, as well as Spey engine, not only provided design information to Atlas's technical team, but also provided a small part of the material formula and process manufacturing technology to the South Africans.

Daniel provided him with advanced avionics systems, flight control systems and hydraulic systems, which are important technical indicators of the third-generation fighter, although South Africa cannot manufacture them themselves, but they can get them through underground channels, and they have also carried out some research experiments on these technologies. After many consultations, the two sides bargained for the exchange of technology.

A month later, in early November, South Africa was experiencing a dry summer, and Mr. Lin returned to Atlas, where his factory had been set up. It went well, and a factory with decent infrastructure was acquired, the equipment was dismantled and emptied, and the factory was transformed into a propeller aircraft factory.

Two batches of aviation technicians have been transferred to China, a total of 24 people, to form the airframe design and power research team, this is the first batch, and people will come one after another in the future, to form an avionics team, flight control team, hydraulic team and so on; In addition, there is a helicopter development department that also needs technicians. These people will come from the Z-7 project that has been discontinued, mainly from the research team of Hafei Z-7 and graduates from relevant universities.

In 1967~1979, the Z-7 helicopter was developed, but it was seriously overweight in the design process and could not meet the requirements of the ship, and the final project was dismounted and replaced by the Z-8. On June 28, 1979, the state decided to stop the development of the Z-7 heavy helicopter. The reason for this is that due to the limited financial resources of the state, it is impossible to invest in the development of two kinds of heavy helicopters at the same time, in order to ensure that the Jiangxi Jingdezhen Helicopter Factory undertakes the development of the Z-8 helicopter project. The Z-7 helicopter had to make way for the Z-8, thus announcing the death of the Z-7 heavy helicopter.

These technicians include several engineers and front-line technicians. They are all aviation technical talents, and they can all be regarded as trustworthy people. Many of them had previously worked in Hafei's Z-7 research unit, and the Z-7 project was launched, and the development plan for heavy-duty helicopters was eventually transferred to Jingdezhen and Changhe, while Hafei had participated in the Z-7 development program and a considerable number of skilled, knowledgeable and experienced technical researchers had nothing to do, and some had nothing to do to support their families. I really went to the streets to sell tea and eggs and set up stalls, and the life of researchers without projects is bleak, and these years researchers really have no skills in society, and many families are financially difficult, and even eating has become a problem. You can imagine how difficult life is!

This time, Dongxing Group's large-scale recruitment of aviation technical talents also caused an uproar in the aviation industry department, among which many people from Hafei were recruited into Dongxing Group.

Previously, the company's recruitment in the electronics industry and machinery industry made many technical researchers envious, because the treatment of employees of this Sino-foreign joint venture was really good, in this company engaged in technology research and development, the guaranteed salary of front-line researchers is hundreds of yuan, and the scientific and technological leaders can even get rewards and dividends, and the personnel who have contributed to the company have even become 100,000 yuan households, in fact, some have become 100 yuan households, but the current environment in China is not suitable for publicity. In China's science and technology community, companies like Dongxing Group have long become everyone's yearning existence!

Therefore, the recruitment work in the aviation department has basically not encountered any resistance, and even the relevant superior departments have taken the initiative to recommend people to come, because in recent years, the country has cultivated more and more college students, and the research units are almost overcrowded.

Of course, the ministry hopes that their children can go to a good unit, and the people they recommend to the Dongxing Group also have a large number of cadres and children. In order to maintain friendly relations with each other, Lin Qiangsheng also instructed the human resources department to recruit some such people, Dongxing Group, like European and American enterprises in China, has its own public relations department, and this department has recruited a lot of related households with backgrounds and backdoors.

In addition, there are still many children of cadres who are simple in character, and there are not a few who work hard and are aggressive.

In the selection of technical personnel, Dongxing is not too harsh requirements, basically how much to come, gold can always shine, the domestic access to advanced technology is relatively small, this era of domestic technical personnel is quite pitiful, out of the country basically all professional knowledge to learn again.

If you haven't been abroad and haven't been in contact with foreign advanced ideas, you really can't keep up with the needs of the times, and the problems you think about have been solved abroad.

What to do, can only be slowly cultivated, let the technical personnel go abroad to increase their knowledge, make up for the backward level of knowledge, as for who can become a talent in the future depends on themselves, Dongxing has provided them with a good platform, research and development funds will continue to invest, it depends on their own efforts!
