Time flies like a white horse, and most of Zhang Xingyang's time is spent on the train.

Almost every two days, I had to take the train between the research institute and the 703 factory.

For this reason, Zhang Xingyang often had to deal with the affairs of the research institute or the factory on the train.

Finally, after more than a month of intense training, and workers worked overtime overnight to install and debug the equipment.

The trial production of the new carbon-carbon composite material is finally about to begin.

For this hard-won trial production, Zhang Xingyang arrived at the 703 factory two days ahead of schedule.

With the members of the science and technology guidance group and the workers who have undergone complete training, we will investigate each link little by little, and strive to solve all the problems before trial production.

The bundles of filaments at the raw material port are slowly pre-tightened through the tension adjustment device to ensure that there is no relaxation or gap between the carbon fibers

The carbon fiber bundles, which have undergone tension adjustment, are then wound along a predetermined path to the surface of the mold by an automated braiding machine.

At this point, the entire carbon fiber material has been basically formed.

If it is only used as a carbon fiber material factory, the production has basically been completed by this step.

In fact, with the price of carbon fiber materials on the market at this stage, the products of the 703 factory now have a very strong competitiveness.

At present, the price of high-strength two-dimensional carbon fiber materials on the market is about 2,400 yuan, and the price of one kilogram is about 2,400 yuan.

Nowadays, the cost of high-strength two-dimensional carbon fiber materials produced by 703 factory is about 600 yuan.

Even if the price triples and sells for 1,800 yuan per kilogram, it is still 600 yuan per kilogram lower than other products.

That's a competitive advantage with a lot of impact.

At this time, the officer who had been standing in front of Xu Yuanchao turned his head to look at Hu Deming and asked:

"Director Hu, what is the current annual output of our factory?"

Hu Deming was very excited to see that the production line was running normally, and the factory was finally saved, and said with a smile on his face:

"Old leader, if the current production capacity of our factory's equipment is maximized, the annual output can reach 1,500 tons!"

The old officer secretly calculated in his heart, assuming that the profit of one kilogram was less than 1,000 yuan, then the profit of one meal would be 1 million.

The profit of 1,500 tons is 1.5 billion ?!!

The old officer, who quickly calculated the result, was immediately shocked by the result he calculated, and blurted out:

"The profit of this one factory is almost one-tenth of the military expenditure of the Air Force?!"

This year, the total military expenditure of the three armed services was only more than 70 billion yuan, and less than 20 billion yuan could be distributed to the air force.

And now the profit of a factory can be 1.5 billion, which really scared the old officer.

However, at this time, Xu Yuanchao explained in the old officer's ear a little embarrassed.

After the reorganization of the 703 plant, it was no longer a purely military enterprise.

At present, it is the Rocket Research Institute that occupies the dominant position in it, and according to the results of the previous negotiations, the Rocket Research Institute occupies 78 percent of the shares with technology and has an absolute controlling stake in the 703 plant.

That is to say, even if the profit is divided, the lion's share is from the Rocket Research Institute, and the military will be able to get a small part at most.

However, the old officer calculated in his heart, even if it is like this, there will be more than 300 million every year!

This money is also enough for the Air Force to reequip almost three Su-27s!

Zhang Xingyang looked at the old officer who was thinking about the future profits of the 703 factory, and couldn't help but remind:

"This is just the carbon fiber material that the 703 factory was able to produce, and now it is just an improvement of the process to reduce costs.

The new material has not yet been produced! ”

At this time, the old officer, who had lost a little bit of proportion, came back to his senses and hurriedly asked Zhang Xingyang:

"The new material is said to be applied to the WS-10 project, and what is the performance?"

The project took the hearts and minds of too many people, including the veteran officer, who was already graying in his fifties.

Zhang Xingyang smiled and said:

"I dare say that no one else in the world will be able to make such a strong material in five years, not even in the laboratory."

In fact, Zhang Xingyang is more modest here, even if he gives others ten years, they may not be able to make such materials in the laboratory.

Of course, the old officer was still a little unconvinced, after all, now domestic materials are lagging behind foreign countries in all aspects, and asked in disbelief:

"What you say is true?"

At this time, Xu Yuanchao also explained on the side:

"Professor Su Che, an expert in materials science in the WS-10 project team, personally verified the performance of new materials at that time, and it is indeed more than twice that of similar foreign materials."

Only then did the old officer reluctantly put down his doubts.

Another question of great concern was asked:

"What is the final cost price of new materials, and how much profit can be made?"

Zhang Xingyang had already done this accounting work two days ago, so the data was quickly exposed:

"Now that we have just started production, we are not particularly familiar with it, and the cost is about 1,300 yuan per kilogram.

As for profits, it is actually more difficult to compare, because there is still almost a blank in the country in this regard.

However, Eagle Sauce performance is about a third of our products, and last year's latest offer was $3,200. ”

The workers present were shocked to hear such exaggerated figures.

In the end, it was the oldest old officer, and he reacted the fastest and said:

"Even if it is sold at this price, it will not be a profit of more than 30 billion a year!"

This is almost the same as the total military spending of the Navy and Air Force this year!

Feeling that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, Zhang Xingyang hurriedly explained:

"The annual output of carbon-carbon composite materials is not so large, and the annual output is about 100 tons.

And most of it will be used for our new rocket engines and WS-10 engines.

It is estimated that the most that can be sold is about twenty or thirty tons. ”

The veteran officer was a little disappointed at this time, but it was basically a happy thing that the WS-10 project was able to move forward smoothly.

So he looked at the CVI stove on the side with a rising temperature, and said to Zhang Xingyang:

"Dean Zhang, are you interested in participating in the WS-10 project?"

The veteran officer almost intuitively believed that Zhang Xingyang would give a huge boost to the WS-10 project.

Zhang Xingyang does not have much opinion on helping his country improve its strength.

But after all, he is only one person, and it is impossible to take care of the work of the rocket research institute and the WS-10 project at the same time.

So he said with some apologies:

"The Rocket Research Institute is almost all new to scientific research now, and if I am not in the research institute for a long time, I am afraid that they will have an accident."

The old officer obviously felt that Zhang Xingyang had misunderstood what he meant, and said with a smile:

"What I mean is that some of the sub-projects of the WS-10 project are handed over to your institute for a long time, and you don't need to travel for a long time."

Zhang Xingyang's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Yes, this can also give those researchers who have just stepped out of the campus to see it.
