Hu Wenkai watched Xu Liyun walk out of the office and suddenly remembered that Yang Siliang said that he would get married this month, and quickly asked not to miss his wedding.

After the explanation, he drove to the Tianfen base, and he set a time to stay at the Tianfen base for only one and a half hours. He already felt that he couldn't interfere with everything and make these guys feel dependent.

In the evening, Wu Hongxia and Deng Jun invited Hu Wenkai's family of three to dinner, and he had to go to school early to pick up the two children.

The car drove fast, and the work he had to do before the trip was over, and he had nothing to do. More than a dozen kilometers away in a blink of an eye, he parked his car in the open space in front of the office and picked up his bag from the passenger seat.

looked up and saw Yang Siliang and Zhou Haiquan walking out of the office.

"Boss, we just read you, and you came."

"You didn't speak ill of me."

"We dare, boss, come into the house quickly, and it won't be our turn to speak for a while."

Hu Wenkai walked into the office and handed a stack of papers in his bag to Zhou Haiquan and said: "This is the last answer, and in the future, you will organize your own research, and I will find that I have become your free laborer." ”

Zhou Haiquan smirked and said, "The boss must not leave us alone." ”

Hu Wenkai replied resolutely: "Zhou Haiquan, you give them all these answers I can give, I am only here for an hour and a half today, and I still don't accept any questions, and I still call Old Pete over." ”

Zhou Haiquan smiled bitterly and walked out with the stack of papers shaking his head.

"Yang Siliang, didn't you say that you got married this month, why haven't you moved until now?"

"Boss, you don't know?"

"What I don't know?"

"The house over there in Nanjing No. 4 has not been renovated yet, and the key is that Li Qiqi and other proprietresses come back."

"Waiting for Carrotta?"

"Well, she waited for the proprietress to bring her back wedding supplies from the United States, and she asked the proprietress to be her bridesmaid. So we postponed our wedding until after October. Yang Siliang looked at Hu Wenkai after speaking.

If it is really difficult to do it in July, Hu Wenkai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with your wedding." There's nothing wrong with you in Xuzhou. ”

"There is no problem for the time being, the electricity, water and train have been completed according to your requirements. After the opening of the canal transportation line, the equipment here was continuously transported. ”

"We should pay close attention to dredging the waterway and make it possible to open a 500-ton cargo ship as soon as possible. Now all steel products are shipped by ship? ”

Yang Siliang happily said that since the opening of the canal, Xuzhou special steel has been continuously transported to Nantong and Shanghai through Weishan Lake Wharf. Compared with train transportation, it is more convenient to transport, and now Weishan Lake Terminal can dock cargo ships of 300 tons. Tugboats are used to pull freighters, and a dozen ships at a time can reach a train.

Yang Siliang is actually happiest that the company decided to return all the profits from steel sales in Xuzhou Heavy Industry Base in the past six months for the construction of a heavy industry center. The more he sells, the more profit he makes, and the more projects he can build. Yang Siliang now treats Xuzhou as his own child, and he can't wait to make him fat in one bite.

"The prices of your three steel mills must be consistent, and no one can fight in the nest and no one can reduce the price without authorization." Hu Wenkai said uneasily.

"Boss, don't you know, the price is set by Chen Yongcheng and Zhang Hongfang, and we only take care of production. Now it seems that Xuzhou's production cost is the lowest, its own iron ore, its own coal, and the low labor cost in Xuzhou. Zhenjiang's steel plant is small in scale so the cost is the highest, and it is better to know that Zhenjiang will not be built, and all of it will be built in Xuzhou. ”

"Yang Siliang, you don't use your brain again, how many years can the iron ore near Xuzhou be used according to the current output? In the future, there will be no iron ore and iron ore will have to be transported by train, and the cost of Xuzhou Iron and Steel Plant will be the highest in ten years. ”

Yang Siliang said uncomfortably: "Hehe, boss, you're right, I didn't think about it so long-term." If I could think that far, I'd be the boss. ”

"Less sycophants, Yang Siliang, I'm wondering if it is necessary to establish an instrument supporting factory at the Tianfen base to form a complete set of instrument production bases."

Yang Siliang thought for a while and said, "How much can the boss meter use, as for making a base?" ”

"Yang Siliang, think about it, most of the instruments we use now are imported, and they are really a lot of practical ones, such as those on ships, cars, planes, and machine tools. The meters are roughly the same inside, all in one. We'll listen to his advice when Pete Sr. comes. ”

After a while, I heard old Pete's awkward Chinese sound: "The boss is in that office?" ”

Old Pete was wearing suit trousers, his two hairy thighs were bare, and the belt around his waist was sunk into his belly.

"Boss, let me tell you a good news first, the two-stage and two-speed supercharger V-1650 engine is still running on the platform, and I have already let the factory start finalized production, and the crow will soon fly into the sky."

Hu Wenkai hugged Lao Pete and said: "Old Pete, I also tell you a good news, we have successfully developed 2A12 aluminum plate, and the crow's fuselage and underwing skin material are solved." ”

He took out a formula sheet from his briefcase and handed it to Yang Siliang, which is the composition of the 2A12 aluminum plate that was well known in the industry in later generations, with a magnesium content of 1.2 to 1.8, a zinc content of less than 0.3, a manganese content of 0.4 to 0.9, a titanium content of 0.15, a nickel content of 0.1, and an iron content controlled between 0.0 and 0.5.

This has no technical content for the Tianfen base, they have obtained the purest aluminum liquid electrolytic aluminum, as long as various ingredients are added according to the formula, 2A12 aluminum plate can be obtained.

"Yang Siliang put this in Xuzhou production, to large-scale production can be exported, the whole Europe and the United States are in great demand. I remember that there is a large aluminum mine in Jiajinkou Town, Gongyi, Henan Province, and you can buy it in advance or directly produce alumina there and send it back to Xuzhou to be electrolyzed into aluminum ingots. ”

"Really, boss, I'll go back to General Wu Peifu and make a joint venture with them to produce alumina over there."

"Don't worry, first produce 2A12 aluminum plate for me to open up sales, and then go to Henan to open mines, there is no market, what are you tossing around."

The three of them in the office to talk about the use of 2A12 aluminum plates, the old Pete said that the first use is the aircraft's skin, skeleton, ribs, partition frames, etc., as well as the rivets on the aircraft, these uses in the world will be at least tens of thousands of tons a year in the future, Hu Wenkai added that truck wheels, spiral pulp elements and other structural parts, as well as buildings also need a lot, these down to tens of thousands of tons.

The three of them dreamed of making a fortune in the office, and Hu Wenkai decided to build an additional power plant in Xuzhou for electrolytic aluminum power supply. Zhou Haiquan walked in to join the discussion, saying that the aluminum smelter near Yong'an Town is now processing with supplied materials, and the output of alumina purchased from the United States for electrolysis is more than 1,000 tons a month, so it is better to move all of them to Xuzhou.

Of course, Hu Wenkai didn't do it, he was going to stay in this aluminum factory and wait for him to come back from Europe to transform it into the production of 7075 aluminum plate, aluminum 7075 is a cold-treated forged alloy with high strength, far better than mild steel. 7075 aluminum alloy is one of the most powerful alloys commercially available. Ordinary corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties and anodic reaction.

The factory does not need to be large-scale, and the small factory has good confidentiality. This product was developed in the mid-to-late 40s in the United States, and is widely used in the manufacture of aircraft structures and other high-stress structural parts that require high strength and strong corrosion resistance. He is ready to sell 2A12 aluminum plate at the price of cabbage, and 7075 aluminum plate must be sold at the price of gold.

As soon as it comes to industrial manufacturing, the four science and engineering men immediately enter the state, Zhou Haiquan and Lao Pete strongly advocate the establishment of an instrument base in Tianfen base, and Lao Pete said that the instrument is now the company's short legs, and once it is friction with Europe and the United States, people choke the export to you, and the company will immediately shut down.

"Old Pete, are you an American or from our Republic of China?" Hu Wenkai asked with a smile.

Old Pete said proudly: "Boss, I have joined the Republic of China nationality and Lao Shixue, my wife is also a Republic of China nationality, and I also submitted an application to join the party to the Fujin Party." ”

"Okay, old Pete, I'll celebrate you another day. We continue to discuss, and I also think that we need to establish an instrument production base, and we can start with the speedometer and the fuel gauge and the thermometer. ”

"First of all, we will engage in bidding, and we will provide technology and some funds to let private capital in, which can support production for the European and American automobile industries. I don't believe that the price is low, and they don't use it. ”

Old Pete wrote down on paper with a pen a series of aircraft instruments: altimeter, airspeed gauge, horizon gauge, liter rate gauge, propeller tachometer, engine temperature gauge, fuel and lubricant pressure gauge, electromagnetic compass and so on.

"Boss, these instruments are urgently needed by aircraft, according to our demand for at least more than 10,000 a year, in fact, we can first build three factories, one specializing in temperature and one in speed. It's better to also have a flow and pressure class. Old Pete said as he leaned on the table and looked up.

Hu Wenkai picked up the paper and looked at it and asked, "Can we make this thing with an electromagnetic compass?" ”

The three guys looked at Hu Wenkai in surprise when they heard Hu Wenkai's question: "Boss, is the electromagnetic compass invented by us, didn't you make the chicken nest system match?" ”

Only then did Hu Wenkai remember that he proposed the idea that the aircraft received the electromagnetic waves emitted from the ground homing station, and used a loop antenna to manually or automatically track the direction of electromagnetic waves, and continuously measured the angle between the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and the direction of electromagnetic waves, that is, the relative azimuth angle, and the relative azimuth angle was measured in a clockwise direction and indicated by an indicator. The pilot guides the aircraft to the homing platform or to the back according to the relative azimuth.

"Hehe, I've done so many things that I can remember so clearly. It's easy to do it, sell our chicken nest system at a low price, sell the electromagnetic compass at a high price, this thing belongs to the optional spare parts, the normal aircraft is not matched unless the other party needs to match, we have the final say. ”

"Boss, you are too profiteer, the plane is not worthy of this electromagnetic compass is equivalent to having no eyes." Old Pete laughed.

Hu Wenkai thought for a while and said: "We want to produce two models of this electromagnetic compass, and the simple electromagnetic compass installed on ordinary export aircraft must also be jamming, and we will make an anti-interference enhanced version of our own aircraft." In case one day the plane fights with our plane, there will be a magic weapon to counterbalance them. ”

Yang Siliang's eyes narrowed and said, "Boss, what Old Pete said is not bad at all, you are really a profiteer." However, in the future, we really need to keep a hand on the planes we export, so as to prevent them from turning against us. ”

"Yang Siliang, you kid think it's only us doing this? The one that Europe and the United States sold to us was not left by them? Don't believe you ask old Pete. ”

Lao Pi nodded and said: "The international practice is to keep it for its own use, the second-class to Europe, and the second-class to our Republic of China, the boss is right." ”

Yang Siliang and Zhou Haiquan were dumbfounded, and they took out their cigarettes and smoked sullenly.

Hu Wenkai also took one in his mouth and said: "What's so decadent about this, science and technology are backward, and we will naturally be treated like this, and the instrument base will be handed over to Zhou Haiquan and Lao Pete." ”
