After a moment of silence, the chief took off his glasses with one hand and slowly wiped them:

"When I went to Shanghai in October last year to inspect, the responsible comrades told me that they were working with the technical staff of the Tupolev Group to assemble the first domestically produced C808 passenger aircraft, and I don't know what the progress is now?"

Apparently, he has already begun to assess in his heart the prospects for a large domestic AWACS aircraft.

"The chief, Comrade Wan Shengren, the general manager of Hufei, submitted a report to me just the day before yesterday, which happened to be about this aspect."

Although the trip did not expect that the topic would involve Hufei Group, fortunately, the domestic passenger aircraft project is the top priority in Ding Gaoheng's view, so there is no need to temporarily cram:

"The C808 passenger aircraft 01 prototype has entered the final factory testing stage, and is expected to be able to roll off the assembly line in March, and complete the first flight before the National Day at the latest, while the 02 prototype is expected to be installed in series with a domestic D436T1 engine assembled by the pickaxe group, which is expected to be off the assembly line before the end of the year and the first flight before February next year."

"The C909 passenger aircraft has also completed the technical modification in accordance with China's aviation industry standards, and at present, Shanghai Airlines has set up the No. 2 project team, which is responsible for technical docking with Tupolev and Perm engine production complex, and can enter the production process after the completion of the assembly workshop."

"As for the schedule...... Because it has not yet been officially put into production, it is not possible to determine a very accurate project node for the time being, and if you look at the efficiency of the C808, then it should be possible to complete the first flight before the end of 2001. ”

In fact, the expectations reported by Hufei are even more optimistic.

After all, both models are in cooperation with the Tupolev Design Bureau, and as the two sides get acquainted with each other, the efficiency will definitely increase gradually, and not statically.

It's just that Ding Gaoheng can't say so hard in front of the big leader, so he still leaves a margin for himself.

The chief put his glasses back on, and although he didn't make any other moves, he could still tell from his happy expression that he was quite satisfied with the progress.

And Ding Gaoheng naturally struck while the iron was hot:

"In addition, the Equipment Industry Department of the Commission of Science and Technology, Comrade Chang Haonan presided over the research and development of the 70,000-ton heavy-duty hydraulic press has also begun to assemble, and it is expected to be completed in the first half of this year."

"After this key equipment is put into production, many aircraft structural parts that we can only import in the past, such as the fuselage frame, landing gear, and central wing box of C808 and C909, can be gradually localized. If you need it, I can compile a report and submit it. ”

"Yes."

The chief nodded in agreement:

"However, if you want to get a report, you don't have to limit it to the civil aviation industry."

At this time, Ding Gaoheng actually had a little calculation in his heart, but in this case, it is not easy to guess casually:

"The chief means ......"

"This year happens to be the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and we can take this opportunity to summarize the achievements of our Huaxia aviation industry in the past few years and submit it as a phased summary."

Hearing this request, Ding Gaohengxin said that if it is a report in the entire aviation industry, then I am afraid you will see a name that appears very frequently in it......

However, this is what he had just thought, so he immediately stood up and responded:

"Yes, I'll start doing it as soon as I return to the capital!"

"Let's go, let's go down."

The chief stood up, left the cabin with a group of people, returned to the tarmac, and then turned around and beckoned to Wang Xiaomo, who had been squeezed a little farther behind him:

"Comrade Xiaomo, I remember that you just said that domestic phased array radars are currently mainly facing production capacity difficulties?"

The latter was a little surprised that he was ordered again, but he still trotted two steps forward:

"Yes, especially for large-size T/R component packages, which are mostly done by hand, are time-consuming."

"The AWACS aircraft is actually okay, and it took about 14 months to complete the production, like the 346 Sea Star search radar that we are about to transfer to trial production, the box of the antenna array is 4 meters * 4 meters, and even there is an additional tailored welding step with a yield rate that is not very optimistic, and it is conservatively estimated that it may take more than 18 months to produce."

The chief raised his hand and gently pushed the black-rimmed glasses:

"Last year, when the Bi Sheng test ship entered service, I heard Comrade Shi Yunsheng of the Navy say that the first test item after the ship was put into service should be the shipborne radar you just mentioned?"

"That's right, the Bi Sheng is currently undergoing adaptive changes at the shipyard and is preparing to install our first domestically produced shipborne phased array radar."

Wang Xiaomo explained:

"The plan is similar to the SPY1 radar used in the US Aegis system, and after it is actually equipped on the warship, each ship is installed on four sides at an angle of 90 degrees to each other to ensure 360 ° full coverage of the surroundings, but the active phased array route is used in technology, which is more advanced in comparison."

Hearing that it could be better than the similar equipment of the Americans, although the chief's expression did not change much, his tone of voice was much lighter:

"I remember a year ago, this model was said to be in development...... Ready for trial production now? ”

Although Wang Xiaomo is not directly responsible for the 346 radar project, this matter is really inseparable from him:

"The 14th said that it was originally thought that the large-size aluminum alloy tailored welding technology would also take another stage to tackle the problem, so the timetable was set relatively loosely."

"However, when we were working on early warning aircraft this time and cooperating with comrades in the aviation industry system, we heard that in order to produce heavy fighters, Shengjing already had experience in using inert gas shielded arc welding to weld large-size aluminum alloy workpieces, so we asked them to guide them and solved a lot of problems."

Although the 14th Institute of Electrical Engineering is also a military unit, it belonged to the Ministry of Electronics Industry in the past.

It is not the same system as the aviation industry, which is subordinate to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

That's why there's a situation where "you have the technology I need, but we don't know it."

Although they have entered the door now, it is obvious that the cooperation between them can not be established overnight.

It can be said that thanks to the opportunity to develop a domestic early warning aircraft, the progress of this project has been able to enter the fast lane.

"So, what do you need to increase the production rate of phased array radars?"

The chief did not detour again, but asked directly:

"In the future, we will need more and more places where we need this kind of large-scale phased array radar, and it will definitely not work if it takes more than ten months to build one like now."

This question is almost no need for Wang Xiaomo to think about, because he is actually already thinking of a way:

"In a short time...... It is relatively easy to say that we can only recruit an additional group of senior skilled workers, as long as a certain number of personnel are given in the organization. ”

"In addition, we have purchased a batch of new CNC milling machines from the Torch-C.B. Ferrari Group, which was just established last year, and is expected to be delivered in the second half of the year.

"Torch ......"

The Torch Group is naturally famous in the big leaders.

After all, with their general manager's age, it's hard not to be noticed.

Merely......

It seems that this is not the first time I have heard the name Chang Haonan today......

……

The other side.

After meeting with Li Jie, Chang Haonan decided on a sales strategy for the low-key handling of Dawning 2000T.

Two days later, without deliberate secrecy or any publicity, the two parties signed an agent dealer agreement to identify Torch Group as the exclusive distributor of Dawning 2000T and the exclusive overseas distributor of Dawning 2000B.

The latter, of course, is just an addition.

Although the computing power of the B model is slightly higher than that of the T type, it is a technology two or three years ago for foreign users, and there are no additional benefits, even if the price of cabbage is difficult to sell.

"Professor Yang."

In the conference room of the Torch Group, Chang Haonan is deploying the release strategy of the official version of TORCH Multiphysics:

"Send a letter to all users who have tried our software and provided at least one valid feedback, telling them that they can get a long-term discount of 10% off the public sale price, and if they subscribe for more than three years at a time, they can add a 10% discount......"

In this regard, although he does not dare to say how professional he is, as a person who has seen all kinds of marketing strategies in the Internet era, even if he just thinks of some methods according to the gourd and paints the scoop, it is definitely an exaggeration to say that the world is shocking, but it is not a problem to make people shine.

Just like Yang Huimei at this time.

She was working hard to write down what Chang Haonan had just said in her notebook.

In a few years, the sales of TORCH Multiphysics will not be a secret to the Torch Group, and it can even become a classic case for classes.

However, after writing it, Yang Huimei read it again from beginning to end, and then frowned slightly:

"Mr. Chang, didn't you say before that you would deal with it in a low-key manner this time?"

"We have had hundreds of trial users who have had feedback, and they have been notified one by one...... It's not low-key, is it? ”

"The low-key thing to deal with is the Dawning 2000T, which has nothing to do with our TORCH Multiphysics."

Chang Haonan's answer highlights a straightforward one:

"It's better to say that the release of TORCH Multiphysics should be more hype, so that it can be hidden from people."

"As for having a special edition of the software, or bundling it with supercomputing, don't spread it out to notify you first, you can find a few users with strong purchase intentions to test the water, and it is best to use the telephone, so that the scope of transmission will be more controllable."

"I see......"

Yang Huimei quickly agreed with Chang Haonan's explanation:

"Do you already have candidates, or do you want me to pick some out of the user feedback?"

"What ...... this?"

Chang Haonan leaned on the wide back of the boss's chair, raised his eyes to the sky and thought for a while:

"Let's start with Maranello."

"Ferrari won the Constructors' Championship last year and will definitely be competing for the Constructors' and Drivers' Double this year, there is an urgent need for that, and ...... They have a lot of money, and they shouldn't care about the money they spend on supercomputing. ”
