Seongnam base.

Li Tianfeng, accompanied by Zhou Ding and Lei Yong, was inspecting the trial production and processing of various parts of the J-18 fighter.

The J-18 fighter belongs to the third generation of fighters, the technical content is one grade lower than that of the J-30, and the trial production and processing of each part is relatively easy, the process difficulty is low, the manufacturability of the parts is good, and the processing trial production is relatively smooth.

Although it is only a third-generation fighter, the parts of the J-18 fighter are made of "Hercules" materials, as well as various composite materials, non-metallic materials, in addition to titanium alloys, aluminum alloys and other metal materials.

Widely used these materials, the J-18 fighter is lighter than similar fighters, coupled with excellent aerodynamic design, low air resistance shape, with low fuel consumption turbofan 20 engine, the J-18 fighter range is not short, than J-10, J-11, or foreign F16, Su-27 and other fighters have a larger range.

In a processing workshop, Li Tianfeng was looking at the parts of the J-18 fighter, and next to him, Zhou Zhou Ding introduced: "Boss, the trial production of the first batch of parts of the J-18 fighter has been basically completed, although there are various problems, but the overall is relatively good, at present, many parts have begun the second batch of trial processing." ”

Because it is the first processing, there is process verification and attempt, there is a problem is normal, summarize the processing experience, and process again, the situation must be much better.

Next to a machining center, there are several parts of the J-18 fighter, which is the second batch of processed parts, and on the machine tool, there are parts being drilled.

Next to the machine tool, there is a part that has been processed, Li Tianfeng picked up the part, looked at it, from the appearance, the processing quality is good.

I picked up the processing measured value record sheet again. Li Tianfeng looked at the processing sizes, and all the sizes were qualified, and some of the sizes were still poor, which showed that the processing quality was excellent.

Li Tianfeng said with satisfaction: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lei, this part is well processed!" ”

Monday Ding said: "Boss." The processing quality of the second batch of parts is generally good, and some parts are estimated to be able to finalize the process after completing the second batch of processing, and complete the process verification and trial processing of the parts. ”

The process is finalized, which means that the processing technology of the parts is basically mature and stable, and there is no need for trial processing or process verification.

Lei Yong also said: "Boss, the parts of the J-18 fighter, we adhered to your instructions when we designed them. Not only the processing cost and mass production are considered, but also the process is very smooth. ”

The parts have good manufacturability, the processing is natural and smooth, and the corresponding trial production cycle will be greatly shortened, and there may be one or two batches of parts processing. At most two or three batches of parts are processed, and the process is basically stable.

Replace it with other aviation industry enterprises. The trial production of parts will be a long process, the trial production of parts is completed, the prototype is installed for testing, and there will be a variety of unexpected problems in the test process, and the design must be changed, and the parts will be re-verified and trial-processed.

And so on and so forth. After repeated tossing, the development of an aircraft can take as little as five or eight years, and as long as more than ten years.

This does not exist in Tianfeng Technology, and the design is complete. Basically, there will be no problems, and the design will fully consider the manufacturing cost, the manufacturability of the parts, mass production and so on, so as to avoid many detours.

Not only the development cycle is short, but also the quality is excellent, the cost is relatively low, even if it is not sold at a high price, the profit is very considerable.

Li Tianfeng took a big look at the Chengnan base and saw the trial production and processing of parts of the J-18 fighter in several processing workshops.

Li Tianfeng, who was more satisfied and happy in his heart, said: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lei, let's go to the construction site of the second phase of the project to have a look." ”

In these processing workshops just now, not only the production and manufacturing of parts of the "Black Ghost" UAV, but also the production of parts for the J-30 fighter, and the trial production and processing of parts for the J-18 fighter, in addition to these, is also processing a large number of other parts.

Such as Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and other companies on behalf of the processing of various parts. Now the J-30 and J-18 fighters have not entered mass production, and they are still in the research and development stage, and it is okay to process parts for these companies, but if the J-30 and J-18 fighters are mass-produced, it will definitely affect the production capacity.

Giving up the processing and manufacturing of these parts, Li Tianfeng has no such plan, processing parts for these companies, with an annual processing scale of tens of billions, because they are basically parts of "Hercules" materials, and the profits are very considerable.

With such a piece of fragrant bread, Li Tianfeng will definitely not give up easily.

If the construction of the second phase of the Chengnan base project is completed, all these OEM processing businesses will be moved into the second phase of the project, which will be specially concentrated on OEM processing, which will not affect the production and manufacturing of "Black Ghost" UAVs, J-30 fighters, J-18 fighters, etc.

The second phase of the project is thousands of acres, close to the first phase of the project, according to the plan, the second phase of the project to see the construction of more than 30 manufacturing plants, large manufacturing plants of 20 or 30 acres, and a small manufacturing plant also has more than 10 acres.

Tens of thousands of square meters, or even more than 20,000 square meters of large factories, there is no problem in the production and manufacture of large aircraft parts.

Of these more than 30 plants, more than 10 are used to process "Hercules" material aircraft parts for Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and other companies, and the rest are used to increase production capacity in the future and prepare for the production and manufacture of future aircraft.

The first phase of the project is more than 10,000 acres, the airport accounts for almost half of the area, and the remaining thousands of acres have built 20 or 30 manufacturing plants, each of which is also very large, in addition, there are very large No. 1 and No. 2 assembly plants.

Li Tianfeng, Zhou Yiding, and Lei Yong came to the construction site of the second phase of the project, which used to be a wasteland, and there were even scattered hills, unfinished buildings, scattered houses, etc., but now, this is a huge flat land.

The land has been leveled, there are even some factories, and the construction of roads has begun, and it is in full swing.

The planning and construction of the second phase of the project, the general manager of the Chengnan base is in charge, and in the planning stage, a well-known planning team in China was invited, and the whole planning is very reasonable.

The construction site is very huge, it is impossible for everyone to see the whole thing, Li Tianfeng looked at three or five factories under construction, looked at the road construction in the factory area, etc., and finally everyone came to the construction engineering department together.

In the construction engineering department, Li Tianfeng saw the huge planning map of the construction of the second phase of the project, on the planning map, one by one, the factory buildings, straight and spacious roads in the factory, and the flowers and trees dotted with flowers.

The planning style and construction style are exactly the same as the first phase of the project, and the factories of this building, from the appearance, are exactly the same as the factories of the same project.

Zhou Ding said: "Boss, our second phase of the project, many factories have started construction, it is estimated that before the Chinese New Year, some of the plants can enter the capping stage." ”

Now the time is November, there are more than two months before the Lunar New Year, although these factories are huge, but generally speaking, the construction of the plant is relatively fast, even if this is a high-standard aviation industry plant, but from the beginning of the construction to the capping of the plant, generally two or three months is enough.

Li Tianfeng said happily: "It seems that part of our second phase of the project will be put into use in the first half of next year." ”

Zhou must say: "There should be no problem. ”

The development of the J-30 fighter has entered the final stage of field test flights, and the military is very satisfied and highly evaluated during the entire test flight process.

The J-18 fighter has entered a full-scale trial production, and has achieved phased success, and it is estimated that the full trial production will be completed before New Year's Day, and the final assembly of the first prototype will be completed before the Lunar New Year.

The construction of the second phase of the Chengnan base is in full swing, and the sales volume is estimated to exceed 300 billion yuan, about 50 billion US dollars, Li Tianfeng thought in his heart, it seems that this year is a bumper year.

This year's achievements are not small, Li Tianfeng estimates, it must be a bumper harvest year, next year, Li Tianfeng's outlook will be greater, want to step up to a big step, whether it is sales scale, or scientific research and production, we have to take a big step forward.

In his mind, Li Tianfeng has already planned that after the successful development of the J-18 and J-30 fighters, the next step will be the development of large transport aircraft.

Large military transport aircraft, known as the "heavy weapon of a great power," together with advanced fighters, can greatly enhance a country's air force strength by mutual interaction.

Without a strong air transport capability, it cannot be regarded as an air force power, and the military top brass is well aware of this and is full of expectations for large military transport aircraft in the future.

In Li Tianfeng's mind, he is already thinking about the design of this transport aircraft, which will be a global airlift capability, which can airlift all kinds of weapons and equipment from China to any country in the world through the army.

Soon after returning to his office from the Chengnan base, Zhang Haiping called, and in the middle of the call, Zhang Haiping said happily: "Mr. Li, the J-30 fighter is so good, this morning, our J-30 fighter conducted an excellent flight test, and successfully flew over the first and second island chains, all the way to the western Pacific. ”

Zhang Haiping gave a general account of this morning's situation, and that kind of joy could pass through the phone and reach Li Tianfeng's ears.

Li Tianfeng was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that the J-30 fighter would meet the American F22 fighter so soon, and the J-30 fighter was still in the test flight stage.

However, as the designer of the J-30 fighter, Li Tianfeng has confidence in the J-30 fighter.
