Chapter 166: Aero Engines
: Four more to ask for a monthly pass, thank you for your re-holding! )
What Zhou Yuanqiang wants to solve the most, this is the problem of air supremacy, just think about it, an ordinary improvised aircraft can also play a huge role in helping him reach Qingyuan City, and finally successfully saved the settlement. Of course, his own credit is great, but there is no role for improvised aircraft?
Now this simple plane has been repaired by Xu Dali, serving as the first training aircraft in the settlement, out of the importance of the aircraft, Zhou Yuanqiang even directly selected 500 people from more than 100,000 people for special aviation training.
For this reason, Wan Chongshan had to use the motivation of motorcycles, and built three simple small planes to act as training planes for these students to learn to fly.
Don't think it's hard to learn to fly an airplane, it's actually for modern airplanes. For this kind of simple small plane, it is basically a few simple operations, which can let the plane go to the sky and fly freely above the blue sky. Like modern airliners, basically after the plane lifts off, all the crew needs to do is drink coffee comfortably in the cockpit, and they don't need to operate it until they land, and the whole way is almost all cruising flight, and they don't need to worry about it.
But this kind of simple plane, there are too many shortcomings, the motivation alone, enough to make people crazy, like a snail, at the moment of take-off and landing, the whole plane will make a strange noise, as if it is about to fall apart. Zhou Yuanqiang tried it, and the taste was simply a journey to hell, allowing you to feel the call of death at the nearest distance.
The motive and the materials used to make the aircraft had to be addressed.
Having an aviation unit is too tempting for Zhou Yuanqiang, and having an aviation unit is enough to make the wasteland settlement become the overlord of the entire wasteland, and spread the footprints of the wasteland settlement to farther places, in fact, to do business farther.
"How about it, the people from the Xi'an Airlines Group do not agree to sell their motives to us? What about a few private companies, like Haili" Zhou Yuanqiang looked at the reply of Xi'an Airlines Group Company with some depression, which was very formal, but it made Zhou Yuanqiang feel a deep irony and self-indulgence.
Li Yihan was also helpless, and said: "Our domestic market, you don't know, aviation, air engine, we want to buy, they don't dare to sell it, not to mention, our company is still a trading company, and there is no reputation, the people of the Security Bureau don't know that we drink tea, it's already a blessing, let alone the motivation to buy." Boss, what we buy is not an ordinary motive, it is an aviation motive, even if it is a piston type, it is not something that can be bought if you want to
Of course, Zhou Yuanqiang asked Li Yihan to contact him, and he didn't have much hope, you must know that even if the retired old-fashioned aircraft, the important instruments, motives, etc., will be dismantled by a special person, in this case, it can be bought, and the person who bought it is of course bold, and the person who sells it is even more dizzy.
"Lao Li, find a way to contact foreign companies, I don't believe it, I can't buy it if I have money. And what we want is just an old-fashioned piston aviation motor, and it doesn't have any high-tech content in it, and there should be companies willing to take our orders. ”
Zhou Yuanqiang has thought about it, like some countries in Europe and the United States, they have many companies engaged in aviation, large and small, especially some companies that manufacture private jets, they all have their own motives to manufacture factories. It is not difficult to buy a batch of motivation. You must know that these are not forbidden abroad, and many private individuals can buy them and try to build aircraft by themselves.
Li Yihan has been working in a trading company for more than a month, and he feels very strange about this trading company, because the trading industry he is engaged in is too much and too complicated. For example, sometimes it is the purchase of a large amount of grain, sometimes it is steel, sometimes it is cement, sometimes it is some metal instruments, and even scrap scraps, which are also within the scope of procurement.
In the face of this, Li Yihan was confused, and the way of shipping trade and customers was too wild, right?
Now it's good to start the aviation engine business.
This is already touching the corner of the arms business. Is it possible to have your own trading company and arms business? He didn't understand why his former subordinates had changed so much in half a year.
The information on the Internet is very sufficient, it is easy to find a few small aviation motor companies, after calling and asking, the problem is not big, for them, their own motives, is used to sell, someone buys, of course they are very happy.
But when it came to the point where the Chinese company wanted to buy it, they all shook their heads.
Li Yihan said to Zhou Yuanqiang with a headache: "Boss, I asked, they are willing to sell, but they can't transport the motive to our country." You should know the reason for this. If we want to make this deal, we have to go to the United States, and they are not responsible
Speaking of this, Li Yihan was a little helpless, "Even their customs can't get out, how can they be shipped back to our country, this is similar to not buying, isn't it?" ”
Is it difficult to transport? Zhou Yuanqiang didn't think so, he touched his chin and said: "Lao Li, you negotiate with them about the style of the motive first, let them provide the data to us, and we will be responsible for the transportation at that time, all they need is to prepare more than 100 sets of motives, as well as peripheral accessories." You can find a few more, I think a hundred sets of such a large order is enough for them to compete with each other. ”
"Boss, we really want to buy, this transport
Zhou Yuanqiang laughed and said: "Lao Li, you can rest assured, I won't joke with my company's money, in fact, the company that wants to motive this time for the order is abroad, we only need to hand it over on the high seas, and we don't need to return to China at all, it can be completed." Don't worry, I do things in a measured way
Now that Zhou Yuanqiang already has a way, Li Yihan didn't say much about his motives, the list in his hand is the various parts listed by Wanzhongshan. He looked at it and said, "Many of these parts are universal and can be purchased, but some of them must be customized by a special factory, and the cost will be very high."
Zhou Yuanqiang didn't care, and said: "No matter how high the cost is, you have to take it, you have to find a way to buy these parts first."
Now the problem is that money is involved again, and how to make these motives appear in the settlement. Or simply say nothing, they will never figure out how these motives came to be anyway. After all, the general warehouse is in their own hands, and their suspicions are not to worry about in the face of letting the settlement have planes.
The fuselage of the aircraft is generally made of aluminum alloy, according to the plan, the settlement first manufactured a single-wing aircraft, using piston aviation motor as the power, the layout is the same as that of private jets, but more attention is paid to the direction of combat and bombing, there will be some changes. In addition, light helicopters will be built that will patrol a 100-kilometre radius of the settlement.
This is a bit of a huge project, and it doesn't mean that it can be done with materials.
From the beginning of the decision to ignore their suspicions, Zhou Yuanqiang first set up the Settlement Wasteland Aircraft Factory, which was specially located and listed as a military forbidden land, and then all kinds of equipment needed to manufacture aircraft were continuously transported out of the general warehouse, and in just one week, the aircraft factory had the initial ability to manufacture casings.
Like airplanes, it can be said that Wan Chongshan is in the old business, and the director of the manufacturing plant, of course, is in charge of him, for which he will resign from the post of the head of the research department of the Chamber of Commerce.
Although it is said that electronic instruments have not yet arrived, it is a mountain of ten thousand people who are anxious. It has begun to command a large number of new hands, carrying out the necessary learning of aircraft manufacturing, the shell of the first aircraft, has also officially entered the manufacturing, with the level of new hands, it is expected to take about ten days and half a month, it is possible to complete the manufacture of the fuselage of this eldest woman, meters, and 5 meters high.
In real terms, the technical content of helicopters is the lowest. Like a light helicopter, many bullish mechanics can independently build a helicopter that can fly as much as they want. Therefore, in just two nights, Wanzhongshan came up with a design drawing of a light helicopter, and on the third day, he listed all kinds of parts that the helicopter needed.
With Zhou Yuanqiang's prestige in the settlement, it can be said that he is a god, so no one doubts too much about the many instrument parts that pop up, and they are just brought back by the hunting team. Only like the high-level class, I know some, although I doubt it, but no one has said it, this, the mysterious puzzle, after all, is not a bad thing.
The establishment of an aircraft factory had to face another problem, that is, the problem of labor.
Nowadays, the entire settlement is undergoing large-scale construction, not to mention the need for tens of thousands of people for simple houses, that is, the first priority of the fence, and more than sixty percent of the labor force in the entire settlement is used.
Because no one knows when the zombies will launch a second attack, repair the wall as soon as possible, and relieve this trouble as soon as possible.
More than 100,000 people seem to be a lot, but if you really subdivide it, it is still far from enough for the settlement, there are not enough people, and some construction projects are not even able to be carried out.
Zhou Yuanqiang had the intention to transfer some soldiers to the construction, but Qiu Guorui refused without hesitation, the whole army is a mixed run-in period of new and old, so rashly transferred, how can the soldiers become elite soldiers without training and cooperation?
There is no way, Zhou Yuanqiang can only find other ways to solve the problem of insufficient personnel. (To be continued)
