Got the dominance of the Shenlong plan, Duke only felt that the burden on his body was heavier, but this plan is very important, just the investment in research and development will reach tens of billions of yuan every year, involving hundreds of thousands of R&D personnel in various fields, the drone is basically determined to let DSM be responsible, when integrating resources, Qin Tairan made a big move to adjust AVIC's R&D resources.

With his experience in the ordnance industry, Qin Tairan is more comfortable in handling AVIC's R&D resources, especially after deploying a new R&D management system that has been effective on Duke's side, the project progress of AVIC's R&D institutions can be reviewed by third-party supervision agencies in a timely manner.

This powerful R&D management system has smooth information circulation, connecting the R&D institutions of AVIC across the country through a special military network, turning the previous information island into a large local area network, effectively separating management and R&D through cloud virtual applications, and solving the two major problems of progress monitoring and confidential R&D.

Because the experts who monitor the progress do not need to meet with the personnel of the unit that undertakes the business, and directly evaluate the progress through the network, this makes the R&D institutions that are accustomed to human offensives feel the crisis, and the management measures related to the progress of the progress and the allocation of funds make them have to put the progress of the project in the first place, which has reformed many drawbacks of the original R&D management from the system, so although Qin Tairan has encountered great resistance from traditional forces, he still vigorously implements it.

He can't directly use money and transparent progress to solve the two driving forces of R&D like Duke, but he can make the progress as transparent as possible and stick to the standard of fund allocation, which can still greatly improve the shortcomings of the original R&D system. Coupled with Duke's supercomputing cluster development environment consisting of inexpensive servers and a variety of efficient virtual simulation applications, researchers were able to solve more than 80 percent of the problems with computer design and testing.

This greatly shortens the research and development cycle of a new product, so that the original need to take 3-5 years to get the results of the project, greatly reduced to 1-2 years to see the results, especially the aero engine and aircraft aerodynamic shape design such research and development work, but also in the new research and development environment such as amazing progress, through the computer simulation simulation of the electronic design scheme, after the computer wind tunnel simulation test, and then the prototype is tested in the actual wind tunnel, the rework work is only a few percent of the original.

The use of a large number of simulation applications developed by Duke has given military R&D institutions wings to move forward quickly.

Duke, the chief scientist who stood at the forefront of military research and development for the first time, continued to absorb and accumulate relevant knowledge in the research and development of the aviation field, providing Kerry with an extremely detailed knowledge base, so that Duke has the ability to judge whether there are major flaws in the technical direction of each sub-project, and whether the current progress is in line with expectations.

In their eyes, this young genius who is extremely good at learning, can quickly get started no matter what he learns, and soon becomes an expert, he is really a real expert who cannot be fooled, compared to the so-called chief scientist who was named before, it is really a world of difference.

Therefore, this huge R&D team began to change little by little, especially the departments that lagged behind expectations, if there were no real major technical obstacles to convince the third-party supervision experts of progress monitoring, then the research funding would be suspended, and more seriously, the entire project would be stopped and transferred to other brother research departments if the standard could not be reached for three consecutive times.

The advanced department, will not only allocate funds in advance to match the schedule, but also according to the schedule in advance has a variety of specifications of incentive funds, early completion of project research and development does not deduct the relevant research budget, so that the saved costs can become additional incentive funds for the project team one by one in the budget time of the progress and cost accounting of each project has a set of strict rules, relatively speaking, the budget data is in line with the average level of the current research and development institutions.

If the R&D achievement indicators exceed the expected level, they will be rewarded heavily.

After this drastic change, more than 2 months later, when most of the projects entered the first milestone acceptance stage, Qin Tairan was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the research projects in many sub-fields could not be completed beyond the budget and schedule from the historical data, and after the implementation of the new system, the projects that exceeded the schedule were almost extinct, because even if there were occasional major technical difficulties, with the assistance of the expert group directly under Duke and Duke himself, the problem would usually be solved after a delay of more than ten days.

"Chiefs, more than 200 large and medium-sized projects involved in our Shenlong plan, so far, 182 should reach the first milestone as planned, and 178 actually arrived on schedule, with a timely arrival rate of 97.8 percent, of which 30 percent of the project phased results performance indicators exceed expectations, such as our WS-13D, WS-18 project, has completed the first core version of computer simulation modeling, simulation acceptance test results The metrics are now 90 percent of the project's final targets, significantly exceeding the expectations of the first version, allowing us to develop an actual prototype based on the first version of the core computer model, which has greatly improved our schedule. ”

In the face of the heads of the General Staff and the General Assembly departments, Qin Tairan was very excited when he made the Shenlong progress report, and they did have reasons to be excited, according to previous experience, we got other people's complete sets of materials and wool parts to imitate an engine It takes about 3 years, and now a new type of engine is developed, although it is improved on the basis of several previous products, and it only took more than 2 months to complete the electronic modeling, which is also quite amazing.

According to this speed, the prototype development of the first version of the core machine will be completed in about half a year, so that the test data obtained from the first prototype will be improved, and the production of the second version of the verification prototype will take about another year or so to be finalized, which is equivalent to the development of a new engine in about 3 years.

This speed is rocket-like compared to the previous development of a new engine for more than ten years, or as little as seven or eight years.

When the General Staff and General Armament generals present heard the news, they were really shocked, they had overestimated Duke's ability, of course, they still didn't expect that the speed of promoting research and development was still beyond imagination.

Let a person outside the military be responsible for the military's vital aviation equipment research and development work, this is not the courage that ordinary people can have, especially this person is still a young man in his early 30s, although this young man has a huge halo of the Nobel Prize in the current era is not an easy thing, this is no longer the era of waste at the beginning of the founding of the country, you can let the old generation of science and technology giants of the old generation write on white paper at will.

"Mr. Qin, I see that the project is progressing very smoothly, do you think you can adjust the R&D plan and accelerate it again" A major general listened to Qin Tairan's progress report and found some of the differences from before, he couldn't help asking, "After all, most of the projects can be completed on schedule, and we can save some money by adjusting the plan, because I see that in terms of cost, it seems that there are more than the budget, and it does not reflect the characteristics of advance progress and cost saving." ”

"Don't!" Duke interrupted without waiting for Qin Tairan to speak, as the technical leader, of course, he was also the protagonist of today's report. "These plans are based on our averages, and if we go back on our tracks, the motivation that has been so hard to build up will be severely dampened. The current results are gratifying, most of them are achieved by the hard work of R & D personnel, not that our plan is more relaxed than before, we have seen that the design of the first version of our aero engine is actually only 3 months of planning time, compared with the previous has greatly reduced the time, although the current R & D supporting environment has improved greatly improved the R & D efficiency, but the key is to stimulate the enthusiasm of R & D personnel to complete.

Judging from our international counterparts, being able to complete the plan is already the best result we can achieve. ”

"Changing the plan now is tantamount to abandoning the previous efforts, dampening the enthusiasm of R&D personnel, and returning to the old road of floating people. The end result is that our projects will continue to be delayed and more R&D funds will be spent. Now it is possible to use a small incentive bonus to complete the plan on time or slightly earlier, and the overall R&D cost is certainly much less than the original model. ”

Duke said categorically that he would never allow the current good situation to be interrupted by blind orders from above.

Fortunately, the major general was just saying that, and seeing Duke's strong reaction, he didn't mention this matter again, otherwise Duke would have opposed it even more fiercely.

After listening to Duke's speech, President Yang nodded frequently, on this, we used to make plans that were not rigorous enough, and often did not have much executability, resulting in the plan becoming a decoration, and finally making every big project like a fishing project, not only the progress was delayed, but the budget was even more unbearable.

Since Duke joined as a genius, the military's research projects have begun to keep up with the times, making the program much more instructive and serious. Not to mention, in the case of drones alone, the projects led by Duke were significantly higher than those carried out by the military at the same time, and the on-time completion rate of Duke's projects was significantly higher, resulting in some of them having to be handed over to Duke to control.

Now after extending this measure to the military industry and aviation research and development outlets, the effect is also very gratifying, for this trend, the general director Yang who is good at grasping the macro is naturally very satisfied, and he does not want to give any more instructions to Duke and their work, the layman commands the insider to suffer too much, and to this day there are still people in our leading department who have not turned the corner. We should have fewer and fewer such people.

Thinking of this, Chief Yang glanced at the major general who had just proposed to change the plan, this person seemed to be of great use, and Chief Yang silently made a conclusion in his heart that he had no bright future.
