Chapter 331: Saving Huaxia's Machinery Manufacturing Industry

Chang Haonan hesitated.

In fact, he really didn't dare to pack tickets.

After all, the investment in this thing is huge, and the largest in China has been 30,000 tons before, and now it has more than doubled, which is not quite in line with the spirit of gradual and small steps.

However, considering the current support for the aviation industry, eighty or ninety percent are still sure.

Not to mention anything else, after this thing, many parts of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, such as landing gear and fuselage bulkheads, are ready for domestic production.

After hearing such an answer, Shen Hong's spirit even recovered a little in an instant.

However, Chang Haonan and Yan Yongnian both knew that as an old man, Shen Lao's energy was limited after all, and it was not a good thing for him to continue to fight like this.

So he specially changed the topic, and after chatting a little about the lighthearted content, he left the other party to rest alone, got up and left the room.

"Shen Lao's energy is limited, and he is very old, so I still need to add a lot of things in the middle."

After closing the door, Yan Yongnian whispered to Chang Haonan.

Compared with Shen Hong, who held an important position in the first machine department, Yan Yongnian, who was directly in charge of the design of the die forging press at that time, obviously knew more about some details.

And now that he is less than 60 years old, he also has more energy to explain these things to Chang Haonan.

"Professor Yan, you say."

Chang Haonan originally didn't expect the 90-year-old Shen Lao to really go to strength with him throughout the whole process, and being able to contact Yan Yongnian through the latter was already considered to have completed the main purpose of this trip.

"In fact, only part of the information about this die forging press is currently in our Qinghua University."

As a result, Yan Yongnian's first sentence made Chang Haonan not hold back:

"Part of it?"

He thought that the other party was going to add some technical questions to him.

Under normal circumstances, the drawings involved in the same project will definitely be stored in a centralized manner, so it is normal for all to be in Qinghua and not to be in Qinghua.

And this kind of separate storage generally has a story behind it.

At this time, Shen Yiqing brought over two cups of tea, led the two to the sofa, and then turned around and entered another room.

Compared with going outside to press the road, it is still Shen Lao's living room that is more suitable for the two to communicate.

"Yes."

Speaking of this, Yan Yongnian nodded helplessly and continued,

"Originally, because the completion of the entire project was actually very high, all the relevant materials were kept in the original archives of the Ministry of Machinery."

"After Shen Lao retired from the leadership position, he rarely asked about the affairs in the department, and the people in charge of the project back then also went to other things to do other things, so for many years, no one paid attention to these things anymore."

His words were very tactful, but Chang Haonan could still understand the extraneous sound, which actually meant that Shen Hong's family had lost power back then, and it was difficult to control the situation in the ministry.

"So there's a part...... Lost? ”

The other party shook his head:

"It's not lost, it's probably between '91 and '92, I think it's when Lao Maozi just broke down, and there was an American company that said it wanted to buy a full set of original materials related to our project......

Yes, it's a familiar plot again.

A similar routine was almost invincible in the face of the still immature Eastern camp back then.

People don't even need to use any off-the-board tricks.

As long as you pay a very low deposit and liquidated damages, you can take away the key content of your profile.

In many cases, the loss of even a few percent of data can be devastating to a project's schedule.

Of course, the "cooperation" of some insiders is indispensable, otherwise it will be difficult for the other party to determine which parts are the most important in the vast amount of information in a short period of time.

Taking advantage of Yan Yongnian's time to drink water from the cup, Chang Haonan guessed:

"I guess they paid a deposit, took only a part of the information, and then chose to default?"

Although he used the interrogative sentence, the tone was almost certain.

Yan Yongnian next to him stared at him for a long time before sighing with emotion:

"Alas...... If only they could have seen the long term as you did......"

Although he did not answer directly, he basically acquiesced to this statement.

"When Shen Lao told me about your situation before, I still thought that although you have many titles, after all, you are too young, I am afraid it will be difficult to pick up this burden, but now it seems that I have lost my eyes......"

Chang Haonan waved his hand indifferently:

"Although I still have some ability, I really don't have a long-term view in this matter, because the information of the 10th year was also so 'lost' that key parts, so I have experience......"

He put a special accent on the word lost.

In fact, until the first decade of the 21st century, it was widely circulated that McDonnell Douglas asked Hufei to completely renovate the production line of the Yun-10 and destroy all relevant materials when it signed the MD82 final assembly project with Hufei.

Actually, I know it's impossible.

It is true that the production line was completely renovated, but McDonnell Douglas did not mention the transportation of 10 materials in the contract at all.

All of them gradually drifted out in the following years.

Of course, the reason for the claim must be miscustody and loss.

Due to the extremely frequent organizational changes in the past decade from the late 80s to the beginning of the 21st century, the loss of some data is something that is difficult to even hold accountable.

Yan Yongnian glanced at Chang Haonan with the eyes of a difficult brother:

"In short, after that time, in the name of scientific research and the like, I transferred all the parts that could be transferred to Qinghua University for preservation, and if necessary, I can take the research group to join this project, even if it is done."

"Heavy-duty die forging presses, it is something that Shen Lao, and Cao Chunxiao and several of us have been unable to put down in our hearts, now that Shen Lao is old, and Lao Cao is in Hongdu, I can still help them realize this idea......"

Of course, the latter could not give up such an important new force, and he was not from the Ministry of Machinery Industry, so he did not need to worry too much about the problem of forming gangs, so he replied directly:

"Rest assured, as long as this die forging press project can be restarted, you and your research group will definitely play an important role in it."

Chang Haonan has to be deeply involved in the big projects that include Project No. 10, turbofan 10 engines and heavy-duty die forging presses, whether it is from the perspective of cultivating technical strength or from the perspective of his own lack of skills, it is impossible to completely shoulder the responsibility.

"You still have to set up a project first......

Yan Yongnian said and put down the cup in his hand, obviously still unable to let go of the past.

"In many cases, the resistance from within is greater than the technical difficulties...... Fortunately, the situation of your science and technology industry committee should be much better. ”

As a member of the Science and Industry Commission system, Chang Haonan naturally did not respond directly to such an evaluation, so he could only reply noncommittally:

"In the future, there will be more and more projects involving large-scale equipment, and it is impossible to shrink under the system of the Science and Industry Commission, some positions, we do not occupy, others will occupy, and the problems that should be faced still have to be faced......

"So taking advantage of this opportunity, I am considering incorporating some forces of the Ministry of Machinery Industry into the project."

At present, all the people Chang Haonan has come into contact with have relatively sufficient confidence in the Science and Technology Commission.

The main reason is that the predecessor of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense was led by several veteran comrades, Zhou Gong, Nie Shuai, and He Shuai.

But in any case, after all, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry has the prefix of the military, especially after the military is not allowed to do business, and it is inconvenient to come forward directly in many things, and there is no way to cover everything.

There is still a need for a local institution.

However, in the original timeline, under the influence of the "sunset theory of traditional industries" and the "national retreat and democratic advancement" trend of thought that became more and more popular at the end of the 90s, the Ministry of Machinery Industry and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry will be directly abolished next year, that is, in 1998, and eventually evolved into the Machinery Industry Federation and the Iron and Steel Industry Association respectively.

Don't underestimate the changes in the last few words.

The latter two are merely non-governmental guild organizations without any administrative capacity.

The loss of assets caused by this process is secondary, and the greater trouble lies in the collapse of the R&D system and industrial intelligence system of the machinery industry that have been operating for many years, and the entire physical manufacturing industry has lost the ability to coordinate a game of chess, and can only enter a passive state of fighting for itself.

It was not until 2008 that Huaxia, which woke up from the financial crisis, established the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology again.

Although the name has "industry" in it, because the machinery and metallurgical related departments have disappeared for 10 years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can actually only be established with the Ministry of Information Industry as the team, and it has not had enough ability to coordinate the development of the manufacturing industry for a long time.

It can be said that this strategic misjudgment is the most serious blow to the development of China's manufacturing industry.

Of course, this detour is not only taken by Huaxia itself.

The vast majority of developed countries in the world have left, and they have gone more thoroughly than China.

But in any case, this kind of detour is better not to take or not to go.

Therefore, Chang Haonan has another thing that he has never said clearly, but he wants to accomplish -

Save the Ministry of Machine-Building Industry and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, which are about to be dissolved.

Brothers remember to bring the picture when they participate in that wool gathering activity...... Don't just write a sentence
