After chatting with He Ming about the localization of the Su-27 all the way just now, and now looking at the final assembly of the prototype of the 83 Project, Chang Haonan inevitably feels a little bored.

I'm sorry, J-8-3, I've fallen in love with J-11 now......

Oh, man.

Of course, the work still needs to be done.

What's more, it can also lay a good foundation for his next step.

With the resolution of the two long-standing problems of wing design and aerodynamics, Chang Haonan can continue to shine in this project.

After a series of test flights, the technology should be finalized soon, and then the production and test equipment of the 00 batch, and then the production and finalization......

In short, it's mainly a step-by-step job.

If nothing else, starting next year, he will gradually shift his focus to two third-generation models.

At the current level of China's aviation manufacturing industry, it is not a big problem to deal with the second-generation combination of J-8 and turbojet-14, but there is still a long way to go to completely solve the production problem of third-generation fighters and even third-generation aviation power.

Therefore, Chang Haonan will not only continue to deal with a few design institutes in the future, but also inevitably deal with several corresponding manufacturing plants.

It's also good to get familiar with it in advance.

In the huge assembly workshop, there are two J-8Bs that have not yet been delivered to the Air Force, and three J-8-3 prototypes that are in different stages of equipment.

The No. 03 has already been refitted, the No. 04 is awaiting a new engine in place, and the No. 05 is about 50% of the final assembly progress.

"At present, the final assembly of several prototypes of the 83 Project is still a manual assembly mode based on frame positioning, but the parts production process has begun to be connected with the digital design team of the 601 Institute, reducing some links from drawing to production process."

He Ming introduced while taking Chang Haonan to a platform on the second floor:

"In the past few months, Dr. Yao, who came with you, and Engineer Lin from the 601 Institute have been coordinating with our factory between digital design and final assembly process, and when we enter the mass production stage, we should introduce new technologies such as automatic docking and digital measurement to improve production efficiency."

"However, the main issue now is production. The orders given to us are too small, on average, we can't produce a new aircraft a month, and even if we use manual assembly, we have to idle more than half of the production capacity, which does not reflect the advantages of digital final assembly. ”

The workshop was empty, and a slight echo could be heard when he spoke, as if to confirm He Ming's complaint about insufficient orders.

"In fact, the lack of orders affects not only the efficiency of the factory, but also the quality of production."

Speaking of this, He Ming's eyes also darkened:

"Especially if we are about to change to a new production method, if we don't have enough production quantities to get used to, I'm worried that not only will it not work well, but it will also cause some resistance."

In the real world, improving manufacturing technology is not like in the game, lighting up the technology and giving you a buff directly.

Especially for a highly complex industry such as aerospace, the process of upgrading from handicraft to industry is very tortuous.

In the transition stage of just transformation, it is very likely that not only can not give full play to the large-scale advantages of industrialization, but also lose the ability to carve in the era of handicrafts, resulting in production capacity not going up, and product quality falling instead.

At this time, it is necessary to withstand the pressure, quickly accumulate experience on the basis of optimizing the management model, and get through the painful period in the shortest possible time.

There is clearly a world of difference between building 10 aircraft a year and building 10 aircraft a month in terms of gaining experience.

How else can we say that the relations of production should correspond to the development of the productive forces.

"Alas......"

Chang Haonan also sighed a little helplessly:

"Take your time, this aspect of the matter is not something that you and I can solve in a short time, and compared with other old state-owned enterprises, the situation of Factory 112 is not bad."

After all, aircraft manufacturing is a special profession, and even in the most difficult times, there is no real order break.

Moreover, although there is a gap between Huaxia's aircraft manufacturing capacity and that of developed countries, it is still dimensionally reduced compared with other industries, and the products produced by military to civilian use, such as aviation brand washing machines and Shenfei brand buses, are also selling well.

Under the strength of the two forces, the basic operation of the whole plant was barely maintained, at least there was no large-scale layoff.

But that's it.

To say how moisturizing, that does not exist.

"That's what I said, but ......"

He Ming raised his head slightly, looked at the somewhat mottled roof of the workshop, and the red flag of the "Youth Commando" hanging on the wall next to him:

"Back then, many workers were assigned to the Songling Machinery Factory to produce refrigerators, washing machines and motorcycles, and I told them at that time that sooner or later they would be called back to continue building airplanes, but now more than ten years have passed......

He didn't go on.

But it is clear that a considerable number of those old workers may not have been able to return to Factory 112 again until they retired.

Chang Haonan next to him could only be silent.

In his last life, he officially entered the military industry in 2003, and although he was still at a low ebb, he had at least passed the real darkest moment.

He can understand He Ming's feelings, but for something that he has not personally experienced in his life, it is still worse to say empathy.

It's more about emotion.

After all, the military industry is an industry with an extremely limited market, and it needs a large amount of blood transfusion to be maintained.

Even the United States, as the world's largest arms manufacturer, will only export $50 billion or $60 billion a year by the 2020s, and the bulk will be the procurement of its own military.

Traditionally, from the Industrial Revolution to the pre-Cold War period, the military industry has undoubtedly been at the forefront of scientific and technological development.

However, as the level of science and technology continues to advance, the complexity of engineering technology is also increasing, and the capital, manpower, and organizational capacity required to achieve technological breakthroughs in one field have skyrocketed.

However, the annual military investment is limited after all, and it is difficult to maintain such a huge comprehensive investment by relying on the scale of the military industry alone.

Therefore, the cornerstone of the entire science and technology field has gradually become more and more civilian, especially represented by emerging industries such as aviation, semiconductors, and informatization.

For example, after the United States lost almost all of its civilian shipbuilding industry, even though it still maintained a huge amount of investment every year, its ability and level of building warships still collapsed.

Chang Haonan suddenly remembered the business of designing axial fans that Wu Yifan had contacted him before.

It's a small thing, but it's a good direction.

The road of military-civilian industry integration will still be followed in the future.

It's just that it is no longer about transferring the production capacity of military factories to civilian products and grabbing business with others, but the mutual integration and promotion of technologies in the military and civilian fields.

If you want to engage in military industry, you can't just engage in military industry.
