Chapter 535: The Big Plane Project Can't Be Delayed Any Longer
The birth of the Eye of the Stars and the Star Map amazed the world, but also brought a devastating blow to competitors, Google has a street view function as a moat, and has not been stripped of the bottoms by Xingchen Technology for the time being, and the rest such as Baidu and Ali, have fallen apart in a very short period of time and collapsed.
Half a month after the launch of the Star Map, only Xingchen Technology and Google are left in the global map products, although the Star Map is extremely powerful, but Luo Jia still has no way to eliminate Google Maps, on the one hand, because of the resistance of the North American authorities, on the other hand, the self-protection of Western nationalism.
"Swear to resist the invasion of China to the death! Defend our internet! ”
"Reject technological colonization and stop the barbarians of China!"
"No matter how good the map of the stars is, we don't need it! Be a backbone Westerner! Support Google in the fight against Xingchen Technology! ”
When the so-called free and open Western world faced a crisis, their xenophobia was far more serious than that of China, defending Los Angeles, defending Paris, and defending Amsterdam, countless slogans were erected on the streets, and slogans against Chinese imperialism were heard endlessly.
Under the new situation of strong confrontation between the East and the West, it took five or six years for Xingchen operating system, Xingchen search and other products to complete the global monopoly, let alone Xingchen Map, which has only been on the market for half a month.
The West will do whatever it takes to keep Google, just as we did when we wanted to keep the loss-making national brand, and there is actually no difference between the East and the West in terms of the desire to survive.
Because the eye of the stars is biased towards the scientific research community, the shock caused by it is not reflected in the people, mainly scientists in the field of astronomical observation, feeling the powerful threat of the eye of the stars, for a while like pins and needles.
Whether it is Weber in North America or Gaia in Europe, in front of the eye of the stars, they are all younger brothers, and the West's delusion of using the Starlink plan to suppress Chinese astronomical research has completely failed, and when the low-earth orbit is full of communication satellites, the biggest victim is actually the West itself.
However, Musk has not slowed down the Starlink program, and the Super Falcon rocket continues to lift off and send more and more communication satellites into low-earth orbit.
In fact, whether it is the East or the West, there is no way back, even if you bite the bullet, you can only fight to the end.
……
In late May, Xingchen Technology Group.
Luo Jia frowned and wrote down phrases on the whiteboard, some of which were already projects the company was already working on, such as space elevators, such as metabolic control, or controlled fusion, ion propulsion, and tri-titanium alloys.
But there are more Tianwang Mountains waiting to be challenged on the whiteboard, such as laser technology, quantum technology, agricultural technology, planetary environment modification technology, starship technology, warp engine technology, jump engine technology, gravitational wave radar technology and so on.
"It's really troublesome, there's so much work to do."
Luo Jia chattered, he threw down the ink pen, put on his coat and walked out, preparing to participate in the regular meeting of the Authority, and the tabula rasa will always exist, constantly reminding Luo Jia that he cannot slack off in the slightest, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
Soon after, Luo Jia appeared in the conference room of the Bureau, drinking soy milk while eating the meat buns sent by the secretary, and listening to the reports of several responsible persons.
"I have good news for you." At the end of the regular meeting, An Ran said with a smile: "The aero engine we customized for COMAC has finally passed the technical verification and is about to be put into large-scale production." ”
"Aero engines are coming off the assembly line in batches?"
"This is really good news, when the time comes, we will find COMAC to buy a few domestic aircraft, and eliminate the current Airbus and Gulfstream aircraft."
"When the COMAC project started, we hadn't joined the company yet, so this is probably the longest project we have ever taken, right?" Wen Chengling asked curiously.
Luo Jia listened to everyone's remarks, sighed with emotion, and turned her eyes to the window.
The aircraft project and the automobile project were launched almost at the same time, and for more than four years, domestic electric vehicles have been attacking cities and conquering land in the world, laying 55% of the country, while the domestic large aircraft project has not yet had even one aircraft out of the production line.
An Ran shrugged his shoulders and said: "After all, the aircraft project is led by the national team, and we are just a cooperative unit, and we do not have the final decision on the project." ”
"And the reason why this project will take so long is very complicated, first of all, we supply not only aero engines, flight control systems, main structures, and even landing gear and tires to COMAC, but also we supply, it is a real big project."
Li Moran echoed: "No, the software department still has more than 1,200 engineers working in COMAC, and in terms of hardware, COMAC uses our production line, our five-axis machine tools, and our robots. ”
"In addition, the plane is not a car after all, any insignificant small mistake may cause irreparable huge losses, not only the hardware has to be tested over and over again, the flight control we wrote, but also has been repeatedly modified to meet the demanding aviation standards."
Both An Ran and Li Moran thought that it was normal to delay the construction period, because the aviation standards were really too harsh, and it was completely different from building a car, but Luo Jia saw that Shen Lang, who was sitting opposite him, frowned.
"Shen Lang, do you know about the large aircraft project?" Luo Jia asked deliberately.
Shen Lang nodded, "The entertainment group helps COMAC to do public relations, shoot advertising videos and the like, according to my observation, COMAC was actually tied hand and foot in the aircraft project, and unknowingly, fell into a prisoner's dilemma." ”
Shen Lang's words were a little surprising, everyone was stunned, and motioned for him to continue.
"The teacher has said more than once that our ultimate goal is not only to develop technology, but also to learn to set standards and become people who master the rules of the game, and the real difficulty of COMAC is that they do not master the standards."
"Aircraft standards are formulated by the West, and if COMAC wants to obtain a global airworthiness certificate, it must meet European and American standards, if it does not meet the standards, even if our aircraft is built, it cannot fly international routes, and can only be used within its own territory."
"COMAC is unwilling to make its own aircraft can only fly in China, because everyone knows that after joining the power of our Xingchen Technology, our core capabilities have completely surpassed Boeing and Airbus, but no matter how excellent the product, it will eventually be handed over to others for approval, which is undoubtedly a sadness and the pain of COMAC."
Shen Lang is worthy of being a military genius, shopping malls are often as cruel as war, and he found the real crux of COMAC through observation, that is, he does not have the right to speak in the industry.
On the project of airplanes, is it okay not to play with the West?
Of course, it is possible, and there is no problem at all with the issuance of airworthiness certificates by the country, and flying within the country and several small countries around it.
But if there is no European and American airworthiness certificate, 90% of the world's countries will not buy Huaxia aircraft, even if domestic airlines, want to use domestic aircraft to carry out European and American routes, it is impossible, because the aircraft that does not have the European and American airworthiness certificate cannot land at most airports in the world.
This is the prisoner's dilemma of COMAC, they are desperate to prove themselves, but they do not have the right to make rules, so they can only repeatedly accommodate and work hard in exchange for an airworthiness certificate issued by Europe and the United States.
Europe and the United States, which hold absolute power, have been delayed again and again, until today, more than four years later, the domestic large aircraft is still not off the assembly line, and Xingchen Technology, which is responsible for providing core technology, has actually been ready for a long time.
"Why can't COMAC get rid of the West and go it alone?" Wen Chengfeng asked puzzledly: "We have helped them pave the way, boldly move forward, what's so difficult?" ”
Shen Lang shook his head lightly, "Mr. Wen, things are not so simple, you may not know that COMAC has been preparing for more than 20 years for the large aircraft project, and has spent a lot of money and resources to maintain its contacts in the West. ”
Belch...
Everyone sighed, Shen Lang is a young man, but he likes to go straight to the essence of the problem, and it seems that he can succeed if he takes one step further, but it is this step that he has not been able to take a step forward, which has caused Shang Fei's prisoner's dilemma.
After a pause, Shen Lang continued to add: "You can't blame anyone for this matter, and COMAC doesn't want to do that, when they started the big aircraft project, the competition between us and the West was not as fierce as it is today." ”
At this time, Luo Jia stood up and said: "The matter involves the interests of the national team, and we can't make good judgments, so let's do it, when I test the flight the day after tomorrow, I will personally go to commercial flight." ”
Immediately, Luo Jia turned his gaze to Shen Lang and added, "Arrange the work at hand, you go with me." ”
"Good teacher." Shen Lang nodded in agreement.
"Then let's stop here for today." Luo Jia immediately announced the news of the dismissal.
After leaving the company, Luo Jia returned to the meditation center and landed on the secret net.
He now has to meet with Black Sword and Blue Feather every few days, but unfortunately Blue Feather is busy sorting out the territory abandoned by the clan, Black Sword's fleet is still resting, and it will take a while before they can resume their mission, and they don't need the help of Luo Jia, the navigator, for the time being.
Speaking from the heart, Luo Jia hopes that the two of them will beg for themselves, the more favors they owe themselves, the more space Luo Jia will be able to operate in the future, these years, 996 is not a blessing but exploitation, and it can make aliens owe themselves favors, that is the real blessing.
After all, as the old saying goes, rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out, maybe one day, our little wrecking ball will need the help of alien friends.
Time flies, and the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, Luo Jia got up early in the morning and took Shen Lang to COMAC Group in person.
There are many dreams at night, and in any case, the project of large aircraft can no longer be delayed.
