"For the development of Daming".

After Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking, he immediately looked at the busy production line not far away.

Although the vast majority of people agree with Zhu Jingyuan's declaration of "for the sake of the Ming Dynasty", most people's understanding of this sentence is not exactly the same as Zhu Jingyuan's.

What some people say is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, there is a specific group and scope.

What Zhu Jingyuan said for the development of the Ming Dynasty includes the vision of making the future better for all Ming people.

Of course, this also includes the most ordinary assembly line workers.

The production of small aircraft is completely streamlined.

Workers stand still in one place, one plane after another frames moving forward on the conveyor.

Staying at each location for a period of time, the workers at each station load the parts they are responsible for onto the plane.

The further you go to the assembly line, the more complete the fuselage of the aircraft becomes, until it finally becomes a complete finished product off the assembly line.

In Zhu Jingyuan's view, all the workers' movements can be regarded as very skillful, and of course they are also very busy, and there is basically no time to stop.

Let people be like machines, fixed to do a relatively simple and repetitive work, in order to improve the speed of labor, this is the biggest role of the assembly line.

Zhu Jingyuan recalled the logic of the birth of the assembly line and existence, and subconsciously said to Zhu Dikai beside him:

"The pressure of the assembly line is too great, and there is no way to do this work easily, so it can only be done for the sake of efficiency.

"But the workers' livelihood needs to be well guaranteed, and the factory must provide the necessary recreational facilities.

"More importantly, the wages must be sufficient, and the welfare benefits must also be good.

"It is hard work but worth it for the workers."

When Judy Kai heard this, he smiled and said:

"Uncle, you are really too merciful, our factory has always implemented your requirements.

"The treatment of workers in our factory is actually the best in the industry, even better than the government-run industry of the Ministry of Industry and the factories of the royal consortium.

"The point is that in the whole industry, the work pressure of our workers is not great, and the income is completely sufficient.

"The main reason is that all our products belong to the highest end of the industry, and the profits are already high.

"The hardest thing is the ...... of workers in private factories"

Zhu Jingyuan nodded subconsciously after hearing this, and then felt that there was something wrong:

"Our factory is not the hardest, the wages are still high, and the benefits are good, but are there still workers in the private factory?"

Judikai went on to explain:

"Of course there is, although the treatment of our factories is good, and the treatment of workers in the military factories of the royal consortium and the Ministry of Industry is better than that of the people, but we can't accommodate all the workers.

"Therefore, there are still people working in private factories, and the important ideal and goal of their work is to jump to the royal family, the military industry, and our factories after accumulating enough qualifications.

"Therefore, the workers in our factory use the best in the industry, and the products we make are of course the best evaluated, the failure rate is also the lowest, and of course the price is also the highest......

"For our factory, we have now entered a positive cycle.

"The product performance and quality are good, the social and market evaluation is high, the brand effect is constantly enhanced, and more and more people recognize and pursue our brand products.

Zhu Dikai said it as a matter of course, but Zhu Jingyuan realized the problem again.

This state is actually the most concrete and direct embodiment of the problem that I have considered before.

With the advancement of the industrial revolution, industry and commerce developed explosively, and the scale of factories and enterprises also expanded explosively.

The real big machine production actually began with the second industrial revolution.

Before the First Industrial Revolution, and even until the Second Industrial Revolution, the vast majority of social production was still in the state of workshops, and factories of all kinds could even be regarded as a small circle.

The royal consortium, which swelled up in advance, has an absolute scale advantage over the traditional local workshop-style factories.

In fact, it was the royal consortium that entered the monopoly era after the Second Industrial Revolution ahead of schedule.

Now that the second industrial revolution has unfolded, the era of global monopoly has arrived, and private factories have exploded.

Although the royal consortium is also expanding now, and the speed of simply looking at the ontology is also very fast, and the proportion is very large.

But after all, they have already swelled, and this expansion cannot be compared with private capital by an order of magnitude.

The point is that after the number of workers in society has swelled simultaneously, it is no longer possible to absorb a large enough proportion of workers.

The royal consortium in the direction of high-end core industries is destined to not be able to absorb enough ordinary workers.

Even if the conditions in the private factories are not good, the workers still have to work in the private factories.

Although it is said that this standard of "bad conditions" is only relative to the royal factory of the same period.

It's definitely a lot better than it was during the world war.

Because with the expansion of the second industrial revolution, the social productivity of the Ming Dynasty is rising rapidly, and the factory owners have been able to come up with more "conditions" for the current workers.

What is certain, however, is that the rate at which the "conditions" of ordinary workers are raised will certainly not be able to keep up with the rate of increase in productivity, the speed of industrial and commercial development, and the rate of expansion of private capital.

Managers will certainly take it for granted that more of the profits will be collected into their own pockets and used to expand production.

When the gap between the two accumulates, there will be overproduction and underconsumption, which is a precursor to an economic crisis.

At the national level, the right thing to do in that case is to add money to the workers and thus increase consumption.

But from a personal point of view, isn't it nonsense that things can't be sold and they are processed for money?

The natural choice in private factories is to reduce production and lay off workers.

Therefore, the correct approach is to do it in advance before the economic crisis arrives, at the stage of great development of productive capacity, so as to postpone or even avoid the economic crisis.

Rather than waiting until the economic crisis hits and then implementing it as a solution, that can be counterproductive.

The imperial court asked for processing money, and the manufacturer directly declared bankruptcy and ran away.

By the time the economic crisis really broke out, the factory owners could no longer increase their wages.

Zhu Jingyuan demanded that the power of the imperial court be strengthened, that government industries be opened on a large scale, and that more workers be recruited from the private sector to enter the manufacturers directly under the government.

The immediate purpose is, of course, to check and balance private capital, but the actual direction of operation is to contain the economic crisis.

The harm of the economic crisis will come after the great development, and Zhu Jingyuan and his son will begin to plan and deal with it in advance from now on.

If prevention solves the problem, if the problem does not arise in the end, then what has been done before may not be understood.

Prevent in advance, rather than solve problems after they arise, and those who prevent problems may not gain prestige.

Just like in the rainy season, flooded cities will be in the news, but no one knows about cities that are not flooded.

Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, and those who are good at doctors have no brilliant name.

Roosevelt did not actually solve the economic crisis in the United States, but he succeeded in delaying and controlling the economic crisis, and used World War II to divert the effects of the economic crisis, so he became one of the most respected presidents of the United States.

The current Ming people, and even people all over the world, have not really seen the economic crisis after the second industrial revolution, and they don't know how terrifying that situation is.

Of course, there is no way to recognize how much credit actually goes to solving this crisis and avoiding it.

If he can "turn the tide" for the Ming Dynasty, which has fallen into a crisis, like Roosevelt, then he will definitely be able to shine and be happy.

But the losses suffered by the crisis of Daming are actually immeasurable.

Moreover, if you want to talk about your "merits", you have already made yourself soft through technological innovation and presiding over negotiations.

I can go down in history.

Now, it should be his highest goal to eliminate and avoid the economic crisis as much as possible for Daming, so that Daming can continue to develop smoothly for decades in the future.

Thinking of these in his heart, Zhu Jingyuan did not mention relevant topics, except for Zhu Zhongliang, no one else could discuss this kind of topic with him, let alone say it publicly.

Instead, in order to show his importance to civilian flight activities, Zhu Jingyuan told Zhu Dikai at the end of the factory visit that he wanted to see the gameplay of taking off and landing on the spot.

Let Judy Kai, in the name of the factory and herself, in the shortest possible time, invite the "big hands" who have become more well-known in this folk activity to come to the factory to participate in a simple invitational competition.

As long as they are invited to participate, they will be given a subsidy of 100 silver bills.

The top 10 finalists will be given a prize of 1,000 silver bills.

The prize for the top three is directly a new small general aircraft of Daming Airlines.

The champion is given the highest style and the highest match, and the runner-up and third place are relegated in turn.

All the expenses were paid by Zhu Jingyuan personally.

This includes prizes, bonuses, subsidies, and transportation expenses for those who participate in the event, as well as the cost of organizing the event at the factory.

All participating workers are paid an additional salary.

The biggest cost of this simple activity was three planes, with a market price of more than 100,000 silver bills, and Zhu Jingyuan's previous renminbi was at least 10 million yuan converted according to purchasing power.

The final cost may add up to more than 20 million.

From a personal point of view, this is just a casual thing, throwing out tens of millions of dollars for nothing.

But 20 million can organize a flight competition of a certain scale, which is really not high at all.

If this kind of activity is carried out in the future, it will definitely be able to make money in various ways.

It's a pity that the current environment is not good, and Zhu Jingyuan paid for this activity, which is basically unprofitable.

Even making a profit is a thing of the future.

This event is equivalent to advertising Daming Airlines itself, as well as the lightweight aircraft that will soon begin to be developed.

Of course, more importantly, in order to show that you value the industry.

Zhu Jingyuan gave an order and gave enough money, of course, the people below did not dare to slack off and would not be lazy, and immediately went to the contact.

First of all, the local flight in Shanghai County is fine, and then it is relatively close to Songjiang, Suzhou, and Nantong.

Make a list of people, simply sift through them according to their reputation in the industry, and then pick them up directly by plane, and pull them in trucks and boats with their own planes.

Zhu Jingyuan and Daming Airlines organized this kind of event in the name of these folk enthusiasts, and it was impossible for these folk enthusiasts to have the idea of refusing.

Even if the time is extremely urgent, there is no preparation time at all, and I have to come to the game directly.

But the prizes were so generous.

Daming Airlines' latest top-of-the-line small utility aircraft, that's what they've been dreaming of.

Ordinary workers may have to work for most of their lives and cannot afford it, and the shopkeepers of large factories and trading houses have to save up for several years.

Even if you have the money and already have a similar aircraft, you will not refuse to have another one at all.

This kind of activity has just begun to form circles, and various rules and processes are still very non-standardized.

Daming Airlines is an aircraft factory here, and there is a ready-made site, and you can start by drawing a few markings.

It took a total of three days to prepare for the event.

On the morning of the fourth day, well-known figures in the circle of flight enthusiasts in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Nantong brought their beloved Xiaofei to the factory of Daming Airlines.

Zhu Jingyuan directly changed into civilian clothes, went to the scene to chat with these big players in the flying circle, and also looked at their planes.

A total of 56 people were invited to this competition, with slightly more in Songjiang and Suzhou, and slightly fewer in Nantong.

Most of them were young people in their twenties and thirties, and most of them seemed to be wealthy children, and the information also showed that more than a dozen of them were from aristocratic families, and most of the others were wealthy merchant families.

A small number of them are middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, and these people have an obvious "elite" aura, they are all shopkeepers and stewards of various trading houses and factories, as well as a small number of small businessmen.

In the end, there were even eight officials from the imperial court, and a total of six women of different origins.

Most of the planes they brought were not the smallest, not the kind of ultralight aircraft that had only a few tens to a hundred kilograms.

The most is the specifications of the small general-purpose aircraft planned by Zhu Jingyuan.

The wingspan is eight or nine meters, the length is seven or eight meters, and the single-engine propeller.

Most of them have varying degrees of modification, and the main direction is to reduce weight.

Privately modified aircraft are not allowed to fly on the route, but they are allowed to be used within certain limits.

For example, in various air shows and competitions, modified aircraft may be allowed to participate.

Especially in this kind of short take-off and landing competition, it is basically impossible for the prototype to win.

Most of them are also rear three-point landing gear, that is, two wheels in the front and one wheel in the back.

Only a handful of them were the reverse of the three-point landing gear, a design that would only be used by large transport aircraft and bombers.

After the start of the game, Zhu Jingyuan watched the planes of different styles in the stands at a very close distance, and went to the designated red line in front of them in turn to prepare for takeoff.

The differences between the different models soon became apparent.

Those of the smallest ultralight aircraft that are good at short take-off and landing do not seem to have an advantage.

They are too light and too small, and the lift that the engines and wings are capable of providing is not enough to allow them to rise into the air quickly.

The first three points of the landing gear also do not seem to be dominant.

Because of the rear three-point landing gear, the front wheel can be braked, and the engine starts to blow backwards, and the rear wing is blown up first.

Before the official start, the rear wheels are already off the ground.

After the referee waved the activation flag, he released the brakes and rushed forward.

This is very similar to the ejection start on an aircraft carrier, where the tires of an aircraft are jammed, the engine is allowed to be released at full speed, and then released.

It's just that this kind of race, of course, will not provide a stop buckle that jams the tires.

The pilot can only step on the brakes himself, and also control the accelerator of the engine by message.

Because after the rear wheels are off the ground, there are only two parallel tires to support, and the center of gravity of this kind of aircraft is above the two tires, and the whole fuselage is like a seesaw at this time.

The pilot controls the balance of this seesaw.

Once the throttle of the engine is widened, the fuselage may roll forward, which is called "taking the big top".

Such accidents are actually a regular occurrence in folk competitions.

Therefore, the folk have now formed a commonly known rule, each person only has three chances, take the best results to compare, all take the big top then there is no result, directly out.

Although the current competition is mainly based on the take-off and landing distance, the take-off time is usually used as a reference.

If the two take off very closely, then whoever starts fast and glides for less time will win the eventual victory.

Balance is not only important when you start, but also when you land.

If you want to coast for a short distance when landing, you should also use the brakes to slow down.

The brakes are strong, and the aircraft with the landing gear at the first three points is just as easy to roll over.

In fact, such accidents often occur on aircraft carriers.

Although there are such problems, the most of the aircraft participating in the competition are aircraft of this design.

This kind of design that is unstable for take-off and landing happens to be the most suitable for this kind of competition, and it is also the most suitable for the current single-engine fighter.

In the course of the race, most of this kind of aircraft brakes and lifts the tail to eject and start, some will slide for more than ten meters and float up directly, and some will start with the front wheels at the same time, and the rear wheels will smash the ground and rebound.

Zhu Jingyuan couldn't see that there were more advantages to that way, but it was very lively.

The various actions made by those who played with the airplane constantly caused bursts of exclamations in the audience.

When landing, different planes also have different strategies.

But a lot of them floated in crookedly.

When Zhu Jingyuan looked at it, he considered that it might be that entering the market crookedly could decompose the force of the forward rush, increase the resistance to turn forward, and reduce the probability of taking the big top.

You can then brake harder and stop for a shorter distance.

But it is clear how much this operation requires the coordination of the brain and limbs.

How hard can you brake when you enter the field by yourself, how hard you can brake at what angle you are tilting, and where and at what distance is the best point of focus.

I don't know how much time it will take to figure out the pattern, I don't know how many failures to master the strength.

Zhu Jingyuan felt that if the top few in this kind of competition wanted to go to the aircraft carrier as a pilot, the difficulty of training would start with ordinary people, and it would definitely be the gap between heaven and earth.

What they are best at playing is take-off and landing, and this is the difficulty of aircraft carrier pilot training.
