When Liu Hai and Sun Aiguo were chatting, they were in Hongdu and Yaohu.

Fishermen around the area noticed that an orange plane had been flying around the lake recently.

This one is not the green paint of the other aircraft, but a conspicuous orange-red.

The most puzzling thing is that this plane landed on the surface of the water for a few seconds, and then flew again.

At first, the surrounding fishermen didn't know what was going on, but one day they saw a fire on the reeds in the distance.

Then I saw the plane flying over the burning reeds, and then a large stream of water fell from the sky and directly extinguished the fire of the reeds.

At this time, these fishermen found out that the plane was loaded with water to extinguish the fire.

At this time, most of the reeds have to be harvested, which is a good thing.

But there are also some rotten quagmires that are inconvenient to harvest, that is, the kind of places where there is no water, but people go to fall.

The reeds were also part of the test of fire-fighting aircraft, and after these reeds had been burned, the second year was better.

Therefore, all the reeds that could not be harvested each year were burned on fire, so that the reeds of the second year were thick and large.

This orange-red plane flew out almost every day, and sometimes there was no place to extinguish the fire, so it washed the water directly on the surface of the lake.

Of course, the lake where the plane flew was closed to fishermen, who were fishing on the periphery.

This caused the fishermen to go back and tell the people around them, who began to disbelieve that there were planes to carry water.

As a result, I went over there to see the excitement, and when I saw that it was really true, it spread ten times and hundreds of times.

There is nothing to keep secret about this itself, so I didn't ask the surrounding people to keep it secret.

Liu Hai finally received the first test data in Kyoto, and looking at the experimental data, it is only related equipment to be debugged, which is not a big problem.

It's been 69 years soon, and Bangs changed a calendar, looking at the original calendar There were no days left.

During the period of refitting the firefighting aircraft, Liu Hai did not have the energy to do anything else, that is to say, the heavy transport vehicle has not officially begun.

Liu Hai has also been waiting for the above news recently, and whether the plane can get a European flight permit is the most critical step.

This kind of twin-engine transport aircraft is no better than the kind of single-person small aircraft, which requires all kinds of data.

Liu Hai is still worried about the plane, and the gang of dealers on Hong Kong Island are separated from those aviation experts.

This group of dealers looked at the various commodities displayed in the mainland, from handicrafts to industrial products, with a dazzling array of everything.

Dealers looked at the handicrafts, some shook their heads, there is a gap between the aesthetics of the East and the West, and the pricing of handicrafts is not easy to say, in some people's eyes it is worth this price, in some people's eyes it is not worth this price.

However, dealers still ordered a large number of porcelain, which was sold in quantities all over the world.

As for other wood carvings and the like, dealers did not take a fancy to them.

The dealers finally came to the booth of the motorcycle factory, and the eyes of many dealers lit up when they looked at the model of the motorcycle factory exhibition.

Cement mixer trucks, cement pump trucks, and tower cranes are all models, ask for these parameters, and then order a few samples.

The market of special vehicles, dealers know, this thing has a higher premium than ordinary vehicles.

First of all, the samples should be sent to Hong Kong Island for testing, and then they should be compared with international patents, and some basic patents should be bought first.

Finally, when it came to power tools and fuel tools, the dealers' eyes lit up.

Many people in the West are prepared to have tools at home, which is not to say that they like to do things themselves, but that the wages of workers are relatively high, and now they are a little better.

When it comes to bangs crossing, what do you have to do, and the appointment worker has to make an appointment for a long time.

And the fees are simply expensive, so Westerners buy all kinds of tools in order to save themselves.

Do you think they like to push their own lawn mower to mow the grass?

No, because your lawn grows too tall, you will be required by the community to rectify and fine.

And if you hire someone to cut the grass, the price is relatively high.

Dealers looked at all kinds of tools, and some dealers knew how to use the tools and took a look at them, and found that they were more comfortable to hold in their hands.

The staff on one side hurriedly introduced: "These power tools are all designed by the team that designed the sports car. ”

"Specially customized for Western customers."

"Look at this handle, it's a good fit for your customer base."

When the dealers heard this, it suddenly dawned on them, no wonder the design of the handles and the like of these power tools seemed to be different.

In fact, there is still a big gap between the tools of the East and the West, because the two races are different, the size of the palm and the distance between the arms are different.

The small design of these tools is copied from those tools on aircraft carriers, which are very suitable for Western ergonomics.

Sometimes our factory copies other people's things, and it doesn't change at all, the gap between the East and the West, the size of the palm, and the comfort of using the tool are different.

"Does it feel different?"

"Seems more comfortable to hold like this than the chainsaw at home?"

"It was originally designed by a top design team, and this handle is comfortable to hold."

"Needless to say, the products produced by this factory are definitely easy to use."

"Order one batch for testing."

These dealers decided to take a batch for testing first, which is also a rigorous attitude towards business, not that whoever produces it will believe it unconditionally.

These old aristocratic dealers have suffered a lot of losses.

At this time, the person in charge of reception received a message.

He said to the dealers: "Gentlemen, we have a new specially designed firefighting aircraft, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"What about the specific parameters?"

"Have you already completed the test?" The dealers immediately asked, and the staff quickly provided detailed technical parameters to these dealers.

On the other side, the aviation experts invited by the dealers looked at the test data and were a little stunned.

In the opinion of aviation experts, the aircraft industry here has just started, and everything is not so rigorous.

I didn't expect aviation experts to see specific test data, and the rigor of this kind of test data is incomparable to their own countries.

Some dispensable tests in your own country are standard tests here.

Load tests of various levels, flight take-off and landing tests of various weather conditions, take-off and landing load tests of various seasons and environments.

Many tests are not possible in the home country of aviation experts, and the country has a vast climate and a variety of terrain, from the tropics to the cold zone.

From plains to mountains, from the Gobi to plateaus, from deserts to islands.

You know, different environments, different seasons, and different temperatures have a great impact on flying.

Tests were also carried out on individual components, such as the number of retractions of the landing gear and the pressure test of the tires.

There is also a time test of the powertrain before leaving the factory.

There are also wind and wave resistance level tests, heavy rain airport wading, winter ice and snow, etc., all kinds of test data are available.

These aviation experts originally thought that it was just a formality, after all, it is impossible to equip such an aircraft on the mainland.

But when you look at the data of these aircraft, you find that this is a very good aircraft.

Aviation experts began specific tests, that is, some people flew in planes, and some people conducted ground tests.

And also looked at the experimental data of power equipment, which is the key to the aircraft, and the stability and reliability requirements are very high.

The continuous operation test is the key test to test the stability and reliability of power equipment.

After a few days of testing, dealers invited aviation experts, and had to admit that this is a very good twin-engine piston engine, and the safety and comprehensive performance of the transport aircraft are very high.

At this time, aviation experts received another news that they were going to verify the test of a seaplane.

So, these experts flew to the south.

Finally, I saw an orange twin-engine seaplane in another factory.

I first visited some of the internal structures, then experienced the whole process of a fire-fighting aircraft taking off and landing on the water to absorb water, and then took another plane to watch the fire-fighting test.

For this reason, several ignition points were artificially set up in Meiling, far away, to test the performance of the aircraft.

After another week of repeated tests, aviation experts gave the firefighting aircraft a high evaluation, first of all, it can be used both on water and land, and it can not only quickly absorb water on the water, but also can add water at nearby airports.

The key is that the fire extinguishing efficiency is very high, and the fire extinguishing efficiency is related to the length of the fire control time, and the time to control the fire also indirectly determines the size of the loss.

One day to control the fire is completely different from three days to control the loss.

In late January '69, dealers finally reached a contract for the twin-engine sealiner project, with an initial order of 100 units, and an additional 20 firefighting aircraft.

As for the flight permit, there is no need to worry about this, dealers are also interested in selling four-engine transport planes and passenger planes.

All this has nothing to do with the motorcycle factory, which has withdrawn from the production of twin-engine aircraft and is fully engaged in the production of four-engine aircraft.

However, the motorcycle factory received a large number of orders for power tools, as well as gasoline engine tools.

The dealers asked for a batch of goods to be tested on Hong Kong Island, and the results of the test were quite satisfactory.

However, patents and other matters are still being investigated, including the same in the case of aircraft, and expedited examination is being carried out on patents.

"There is still a month to go until the Chinese New Year." Liu Hai entered the motorcycle factory in the morning, changed the clothes on his body into work clothes, and began to sit at the desk, ready to continue to do the design of heavy transport vehicles.

Liu Hai's current mentality is a bit of a sheep, after all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the 68-year task has been overcompleted, and the firefighting aircraft has also been manufactured.

The people of the maintenance department went to support other power tool factories, power tools, motorcycle factories do not produce, but only produce core motors and small gasoline engines.

The rest is handed over to specialized factories for production, one factory produces one or two products, and several factories are added at once.

It's not that the motorcycle factory doesn't want to produce, but there are not so many workers, and besides, this kind of thing with a low technical content is also a little disdainful of Sun Aiguo.

Just like the small household appliances in the past, now they don't touch them, and they are all handed over to other factories to produce.

It's a bit unbelievable to say, our country is the largest producer of rice cookers, but the number of rice cookers in China is too small.

On the one hand, everyone is reluctant to use electricity now, and on the other hand, the rice cooker is not cheap, similar to the status of the bicycle in everyone's minds when Liu Hai first entered the city.

Now there is no shortage of domestic bicycles, because the production of steel has come up, and there are more bicycle tickets, and the price has been reduced a lot.

In China, bicycles are defined as production tools, and each production team has some bicycle quotas every year.

This is a free allocation, and now the bicycle production has basically achieved semi-automation.

When Liu Hai entered the city, there was also a shortage of materials, whether it was steel or rubber, or even production equipment.

Moreover, there are many bicycles exported in China, and the main customers are third world countries, and a small number of Western countries also import them.

After all, the price is on the swing in this regard.

"Do you want instant noodles?" Smelling the aroma of barbecue, Bangs thought of something that he had wanted to make for a long time.

Instant noodles have been popular for many years, and this one is also very simple, because there are all kinds of instant noodles in the shops on the aircraft carrier.

"Can this thing be resold in a small book?"

"It should be okay, they have been robbed of a lot of industries by us, and the pressure of life should be relatively high, and the pace is relatively fast." Liu Hai can't grasp the thing of instant noodles, after all, he doesn't know much about the food field.

Liu Hai, who had eaten at noon, was sitting on a recliner resting leisurely, and Sun Aiguo came in as soon as he pushed the door: "Xiao Liu, I'm disturbing your rest." ”

"Factory director, it must be a good thing for you to come." Liu Hai got up and poured tea for the factory director, and now he still uses a kettle, as for the water dispenser and the like, Liu Hai and other people from the maintenance department come back and let them do it themselves.

"It's not your reward yet, the firefighting aircraft can be favored by the dealer, you are indispensable, and the next big plane is also ready to give us flight permission."

"It is expected that there will be results soon, and as long as we can get a European flight permit, we can carry out international flights."

"As for Lao Mei's side, it's hard to say for the time being, our factory has a very heavy task." Sun Aiguo said to Liu Hai very happily.

Liu Hai nodded, although it is said that piston propeller aircraft have many shortcomings, slow speed, loud sound, and not as strong carrying capacity as jet aircraft, but there are still many poor countries around the world, and it is good to have planes.

The advantage is that the price is low, the operating cost is low, the maintenance cost is low, and you can repair his power system and change the jet engine in a few months to find a car repair training, you try it?

For third world countries and poorer countries, piston engines are their favorite.

Just like when bangs are crossed, some people buy hundreds of thousands of cars and some people buy tens of thousands, and the most important thing is to suit yourself.

"It's okay for the Europeans to give us permission to fly, but it's hard to say about the Americas." It's already good that Europe can give permission to fly, and if you have the first time, you won't have to worry about the second time.

"How's your reward thinking?"

"It's not that I want to urge you, your credit is accumulating too fast, and the people who modified the fire-fighting aircraft with you have all been rewarded, but you, the leader, have not yet received the reward, this is my incompetent factory director." After Sun Aiguo sat down, he spoke.

"Factory director, you look at it, give me five yuan is not too little, give me ten yuan is not too much." Bangs, of course, knew that those who worked with him on projects were rewarded.

Those who don't have a house will be given a house, those who have a house will be given a bicycle, and those who have a house and a bicycle will be rewarded with money and a higher salary level.

But when it came to Liu Hai, Sun Aiguo was really embarrassed, mainly because he was afraid of treating Liu Hai badly, Liu Hai led a group of workers to change the seaplane to a firefighting plane in a month and a half, which shocked many people.

"Your credit includes large transport planes, large passenger planes, construction equipment, firefighting aircraft, power tools, small gasoline engine tools, before the Chinese New Year, your credit must be fulfilled, otherwise your credit will come out again next year."

"Director, this is not my own work!"

"yes, they've paid for it."

"There is also the workshop you supervise, these are not counted as your credit, and even more so if they are counted."

"I went to a meeting today, and the leaders of the various departments above asked me to seize the time to cash out the reward that should be given to you, and the reward must be cashed." Sun Aiguo was also approached by several higher-level department leaders to talk, because Liu Hai took the lead in researching several departments last year.

Bangs can't do it now, if the atmosphere is a little better, Bangs can say that he will turn his credit to the projects supported by his superiors.

But now the problems in various projects, bangs are very clear.

If I get involved now, I might be able to do something bad with good intentions.

For example, in terms of semiconductors and integrated circuits, the main thing is that Liu Hai really doesn't understand, if he did, he would have done it alone, but he would have done it alone, but he had to support others, especially to persuade the leader to support others.

Once something goes wrong, not only will you offend the leader, but you will also eat Coptis chinensis dumbly.

"Another point, the dealers have promised that if the yacht for Her Majesty is built, they will return a batch of our things, and now that group of dealers is thriving in their country."

"The last time the aviation experts who came here to participate in the acceptance of the aircraft were from the aviation committee of their country, it is said that in order to get a flight permit, you need the approval of these experts, and they funded the research of these experts."

"Westerners see the benefits very clearly, and it sounds like a naked deal, but when you look back, it seems that what others have done makes sense." Sun Aiguo opened his mouth again and told Liu Hai a good news.

"It's good to get things back, but don't let people mess around, don't put them on someone else's side, if you take them back, there will be problems." Bangs couldn't help but mutter.

"Then you design the house along the street of the motorcycle factory here, and our motorcycle factory will build a museum by itself, anyway, it is what we exchange it for, some people do it for their own fame, but they don't care so much about you." Sun Aiguo and Liu Hai can be said to have the closest relationship, and they can speak more thoroughly many times, and Sun Aiguo can't get used to doing some for fame.

"I'll take it out before the New Year!" As soon as Liu Hai heard this, he was energetic, as long as it can be placed on the territory of the motorcycle factory, it is guaranteed that not everyone can come and play or something.

Two more and 10,000 words are over.
