After eating, Ba Yuzao motioned to Huang Ke to see the gift given to him. Huang Ke nodded and smiled: "I didn't expect you Ba Yuzao to also learn to slap horses, if you really come to give gifts, then I will put you in the Executive Yuan." ”

"You will definitely like this gift, Commander, because it has condensed our hard work, and you are only the first to receive it, and the people of the whole country will receive this gift in the future." Ba Yuzao said with some excitement, which aroused Huang Ke's interest.

"Oh? I'd like to see. After Huang Ke finished speaking, Ba Yuzao led the way in front, and after a while, they walked to an open space, Huang Ke and the others were very surprised, where are there any gifts here? Could it be that Ba Yuzao is going to send a handful of dirt or something?

But think about it, Ba Yuzao won't be like this, Huang Ke understands him, he is an engineer who is not good at words, how can he use the practice of the Sao Ke literati? Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a roar in the sky, and in the distance, a plane with a grass green fuselage was flying towards this runway.

Huang Ke immediately understood that Ba Yuzao and the others were testing a new aircraft, and this was undoubtedly the best gift to Huang Ke.

"Commander, then all the employees of our Mawei Factory will return the salute to you with this plane. That's what we give you. Under the leadership of Ba Yuzao, everyone walked to the front of the tower, and Huang Ke looked at the soaring plane in the sky and suddenly became excited.

"Telescope?"

"Commander, give!"

Huang Ke took the telescope and looked into the air, and the fuselage that he couldn't see clearly before was now in full view. It was a large aircraft with four propellers on the wings, and the green livery on the fuselage and the number 001 indicated that this model was the first aircraft to roll off the production line.

Everyone looked at all this with joy, Huang Ke was even more excited, you must know that this kind of large aircraft can be converted into bombers, transport aircraft for a variety of purposes, once it is applied to actual combat in the future, it will be a qualitative flight for the Chinese army, can this not make people excited?

Huang Ke even had such a scene in his mind: dense bombers flew over the sky, the mechanized torrent on the ground rolled forward, and all the invaders were overwhelmed by the wind......

Just when Huang Ke was in reverie, the plane had begun to fly towards the runway, at the end of the runway, the huge fuselage and the runway rubbed, under the action of an inertial force, the plane began to slow down and slowly move forward, after taxiing for a while, this huge guy docked steadily on the runway.

Huang Ke handed out the binoculars in his hand and said excitedly to everyone: "Let's go, let's go and see this big guy." ”

When everyone walked up to the plane, they realized that it was bigger than they had imagined. The front and rear feet are 20 meters long, and the wings of the aircraft are even more than 30 meters long, and there are four huge propellers on both sides of the wings. The thick steel fuselage and streamlined design give this large aircraft a unique metallic beauty.

The five crew members had already gotten off the plane and stood in line, although the temperature in Mawei was already more than 20 degrees at this time, but the five crew members were still wearing thick leather clothing, and they had unbuttoned the leather hats on their heads and stood straight in a row.

"Well done!" Contrary to what the pilots imagined, Huang Ke did not greet him very seriously, but took out the cigar cigarette he carried with him and shared it with everyone. Most of these crew members are students who have put pen to paper, and their ideas are trendy, so they are naturally very useful to Huang Ke's move. So when Huang Ke took out the cigar smoke, a few young men hesitated for a moment and still took it and smoked the cigar leisurely.

"What about the cruising speed of the plane?" Huang Ke sipped a cigar and chatted with everyone like a homely affair.

"The cruising speed is 240 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed can reach 400 kilometers per hour." Ba Yuzao introduced the various basic features of the aircraft, as well as all the stories before and after the tests of this type of aircraft.

It turned out that this large aircraft was developed by the Mawei Factory for two years and at a huge cost, and it had experienced many failures before, and several test pilots were killed because of it, but they continued to accumulate experience in the failures and finally finalized it, and the one that was tested today was the first one.

"The aircraft uses a piston propeller, which also does away with the previous wood, uses the latest aluminium and can be controlled by variable distance. The aircraft can reach an altitude of 10,000 meters, is capable of carrying a load of 1,000 kilograms, and has a range of 2,800 kilometers. ”

When it comes to this aircraft, Ba Yuzao and the designers of the Mawei Factory can always have endless topics, and Huang Ke is naturally happy to see that China can produce such an advanced aircraft here.

"I like and am very satisfied with your gift. In the future, the Ministry of Industry will increase investment in aviation, and if you have any requirements and suggestions, if you feel that it is not good for your superiors, you will report it directly to me. As he spoke, Huang Ke took out a notebook and left his emergency contact number to the engineers at the scene.

"Commander, have you confiscated our gifts?" Ba Yuzao said with a smile, obviously Huang Ke thought that the development of the aircraft was their gift.

Huang Ke was a little surprised, what gift?

"Commander, this plane is a gift for you." When Ba Yuzao said this, Huang Ke was shocked, he didn't expect the Mawei Factory to give him a plane.

"This plane?" Huang Ke was also a little confused after experiencing strong winds and waves, he pointed to the plane and asked in a relaxed but questioning tone.

"Yes, Commander, this aircraft is the intention of our employees in the Mawei Factory, and when we designed this aircraft, we made two different models, the first one with a long fuselage was used as a bomber and a transport aircraft, and the large fuselage could be used as a passenger aircraft."

"This plane is the first passenger model, this one has been refitted inside, and these crew members will also follow you, and this plane will be your special plane from now on."

After Ba Yuzao finished speaking, the other engineers nodded frequently, seeing that they showed that kind of joy from the heart, Huang Ke knew that this must be their sincerity. If Huang Ke pretends not to accept it, it will be chilling, not to mention that Huang Ke really needs a special plane.

"This gift of yours is too valuable, if I accept it, I will be drowned by someone spitting at it." Huang Ke's words made everyone prick up their ears, Ba Yuzao and the others were about to refute what they said, Huang Ke changed his words and said: "If you don't accept it, it doesn't conform to my character, and it also chills your heart." I really need an airplane, and being able to ride on the plane developed by us Chinese is something I dream of. Well, since this is a civilian aircraft, I paid for it. ”

After Huang Ke finished speaking, everyone began to applaud.

Then Huang Ke began to name this type of aircraft, according to the previous order, the bomber model was H-3 aircraft, Huang Ke bluntly said that the nickname was "Flying Fortress"; The model of the transport model is Y-2, and Huang Ke said that it is simply called an "air freighter".

A few nicknames are easy to remember, and they also encapsulate the characteristics of these aircraft very well, so it is natural to be a secret code name at this time, and everyone laughs.

After accompanying everyone to see the plane, Huang Ke listened to the development and improvement plan of Ba Yuzao and others on the fighter, the new fighter nicknamed "Thunderbolt", the fuselage is light and only needs one pilot to pilot, although the range is insufficient, but the speed is fast, has been mass-produced and put into use.

Huang Ke was very satisfied after seeing it, and he also proposed to Ba Yuzao to study turboprop engines, Ba Yuzao couldn't help but be amazed after hearing it, because not long ago someone in the UK applied for a patent for turbine aerodynamics, and he just saw it, but he didn't expect Huang Ke to have begun to pay attention to these.

Huang Ke naturally wouldn't tell him that he had crossed over, so he quickly diverted the topic.

There were a lot of talks with these technicians, the most important of which was the current construction of the Air Force. To be honest, the Mawei factory now has a considerable scale, and new models are being developed and tested every year, and at the same time, the flight school established in Hangzhou has also sent a lot of talents to the air force, and now the air force led by Xu Shaozhou has more than 200 fighters of various types and bombers of varying numbers.

But these are far from enough, Huang Ke knows that such an aviation unit is not enough for the Japanese to dry their teeth, and now after the aircraft is manufactured, the most important thing is to train all kinds of flying talents.

"Next, I want to set up aviation schools in Nanjing and other places, and at the same time set up aviation courses in universities, and you will all have to teach at that time, and we will train a large number of aviation talents." Huang Ke didn't have a frame when he talked to everyone, and Ba Yuzao and they were also very relaxed and spoke freely.

"It's okay for me to do research and development, but I'm really not good at teaching students." An engineer waved his hand and signaled that he couldn't do it.

Huang Ke pointed at him and jokingly said: "It's you, you will go to teach at Central University at the beginning of next year, if you can't teach good students, your salary will be deducted in half in the future." ”

Everyone laughed, and so did the engineer.

After the laughter was quieter, Huang Ke asked: "Let me tell you something, I am considering separating the shipbuilding and aviation of Mawei Factory, and the aviation part will be relocated to the mainland, otherwise the years of hard work in the war will be over." ”

Ba Yuzao and the others stopped talking, their expressions became solemn, they all knew that the relocation of heavy industry was not a joke, it did not mean that it could be moved, and once the relocation was moved, it would inevitably affect production and development. However, if it is not relocated, the location of Mawei is too far away for the shipyard to move to the mainland, but the Ministry of Aviation can.

"Commander, when you say this, you must have your own considerations, so you can tell us what you think." Ba Yuzao said with a smile.

Huang Ke nodded: "I thought about a few places, but when you finally decide, Nanchang, Jiangxi, Xinyang, Henan, or Chengdu, Sichuan." Of course, if you have ideas, you can also put them forward, let's discuss them internally, and we need to listen to the opinions of your experts. ”

Ba Yuzao thought for a while and said, "I suggest going to Luoyang, Zhengzhou, or Xi'an, Shaanxi." ”

"Oh?" Huang Ke looked at her suspiciously: "Let's talk about it." ”

"In fact, the relocation is nothing more than a few points, transportation, industrial base and personnel, these cities are on the railway line, it is convenient to relocate, you only need to disassemble the machine and take the sea route to Lianyungang, and then open a special train from the railway. Secondly, these places are in the interior, and now they are directly under the central government, so it is very appropriate to consider national defense; Moreover, the industrial base of these cities is okay, and it is no problem to install an aircraft factory. ”

"Yes, Chief Engineer Ba is right, we can also set up a general plant in one place, and set up a branch plant in another place, and relocate it in three parts, which is not only conducive to relocation, but also can minimize the impact on production." A young engineer chimed in.

After hearing this, Huang Ke nodded: "Okay, you organize a group of people to accompany the Ministry of Industry to Zhengzhou, Luoyang and Xi'an to inspect and decide which one will be the main center and the others will be the subsidiary." ”
