Chapter 851 The Motherland Needs You! "Little Wolf Needs You"

Let's discuss it." Fan Danbing said with emotion six words.

At this time, his heart was still very complicated. On the one hand, he was very enthusiastic about the large aircraft project, but on the other hand, he was a little worried about whether the project could achieve his expected goals. After all, such a huge plan requires the mobilization of the whole country. To complete it is definitely not a trivial matter. Even if your follow-up funds can be continuously supplied, technology is always the most critical thing.

The slightest mistake can lead to the failure of a large aircraft project midway, let alone a perfect finished product that can be mass-produced within ten years. This is an impossible task for any country.

However, Fan Wubing feels that the Chinese exist to create miracles, and the large aircraft project will naturally be no exception.

Early the next morning. Fan Wubing ran to Boss Zhu and discussed with the relevant leaders of various ministries and commissions of the State Council about forming a leading group for the large aircraft project.

Because this project is so huge, it can be said that the amount of work far exceeds that of the Three Gorges Project, and the manpower and material resources used. This is the highest since the founding of the People's Republic of China. If Fan Wubing hadn't secured the funds, the government would never have considered this project.

Boss Zhu personally served as the leader of the project team, and then the heads of relevant departments served as members to form the State Council masturbation project construction project team. This project team is mainly responsible for coordination in all aspects so that it can cooperate with the upcoming projects. The China Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, with Fan Wubing as its chairman, cooperated with each other to complete this much-anticipated project.

“In short, we must use collective efforts to build our own large aircraft within ten years, and it must be able to stand up internationally and have a market.

Boss Zhu said so.

The expert group of the State Council also made a preliminary budget estimate, estimating that together with construction funds, project funds and the transformation of each member unit, it should be about 50 billion yuan. The original 100 billion-scale plan claimed by Fan Wubing "Actually, it's a bit too exaggerated.

However, Fan Wubing also has his own opinion on this. The large aircraft project should not only focus on civil aviation, but also consider that it can be transformed into a large military aircraft on this basis, or be directly developed on this basis. If a military system comes out, the budget will increase a lot.

By the end of December, the general framework was put up.

But now that I have sorted through each unit, I find that after more than ten years of delay, it has already regressed a lot. Even some technical information during the old development period. None of them can be found now, and many of the technical talents who made great contributions at that time have passed away, and many have changed careers, resulting in considerable losses.

"There has been a 20-year gap in China's entire aviation manufacturing industry!" Fan Wubing felt very

.

In fact, the top management also hopes to reuse the old engines that were developed and shipped in the past. However, looking at it now, it is found that there are many problems. The cost of shrinking capabilities is especially reflected in the old engines.

During the development process of transportation equipment, a Shanghai factory imitated the American Pratt & Whitney turbofan engine and finally manufactured an engine that was successfully used in transportation equipment. During the test flight, for safety reasons, the Pratt & Whitney engine used by Boeing was loaded on the aircraft, and the imitation engine was installed on the Boeing for test flight. good results.

A 70-year-old aerospace engine expert from the Metropolitan University of Aeronautics and Astronautics asked the media how long it would take for China to produce engines for large aircraft. He said, "Of course it doesn't take fifty years, but it still takes thirty years."

However, he also said that it was not easy for Shanghai to actually build a small Pratt & Whitney engine back then.

According to him, the titanium alloy pointed turbofan blades made in Shanghai back then are now unable to be produced by the entire Chinese aviation industry twenty years later. The technical capabilities of engines made in Shanghai have completely disappeared, and the factories and equipment have long been dismantled. , the dispersion of personnel is no longer a test.

Of course, some people ridiculed that engine as a replica, but this does not diminish the achievement.

righteous.

In fact, the jet engine was invented by Britain and Germany on the eve of World War II, and other countries started by imitating it.

The United States signed an agreement with Britain in 1941 to imitate British jet engines. In October of the same year, the United Kingdom provided an unassembled engine and a series of drawings and materials to the General Electric Company designated by the United States, and sent a technical team to assist the United States in imitation.

Even with such help, it was not until early 1944 that the imitation engine and its improved version of the American General Electric Company caught up with the performance level of the British engine.

The former Soviet Union also began to develop a gas engine before World War II but did not develop it until the end of the war.

After the war, the former Soviet Union used seized German materials and equipment and quickly copied jet engines with the help of German technicians. Later, it purchased dozens of jet engines from the United Kingdom through trade negotiations.

The key to this issue is not whether to imitate, but whether to carry out technical learning. When Americans copied British jet engines, British technicians came with drawings and technical information to teach them step by step. In the process of imitating jet engines, the former Soviet Union moved German factories with people and equipment to engine industrial bases such as Ural and Kuibyshev, gathered captured German technicians, and ordered them to provide technical knowledge, experience and management methods. The Soviet Union People even asked German designers to redesign the product from scratch to help the Soviets master the technical know-how during the recovery process. It took the former Soviet Union more than five years to complete the transition from imitation to independent design.

In contrast, Xiao Shanghai only relied on its own reverse engineering of the original product to create a usable engine, and the technical learning involved must have been much more.

It is a pity that small factories, technicians and workers are now all lost!

Fan Wubing asked for this question. I have also talked about this matter with many aerodynamics experts. It is said that the day before the Y-10 test flight, there were two deputy ministers of the Ministry of Aviation Industry in Shanghai. One of them flatly refused to host the test flight ceremony and said , it is impossible for Luck Ten to go to heaven. If he went to heaven, he made a self-engraved gesture, which meant committing suicide to thank the world.

It is a pity that the deputy minister who threatened to commit suicide to thank the world broke his promise and did not wipe his neck after the successful test flight of the Yun-10. However, the deputy minister who stayed at his post and personally presided over the test flight of the Yun-10 and the chief designer of the Yun-10 aircraft have been in the air for a long time. Depressed and unable to achieve his ambitions, he became ill due to worries, contracted terminal illnesses, and passed away one after another.

"A very famous aircraft engine expert at the time solemnly proposed to the central government that the project could not be stopped, the team could not be dispersed, and the results could not be lost. Unfortunately, the decision to stop was made before the test flight of the Y-10 aircraft. "The expert said with some regret, "Now it seems that the joint venture or cooperation method cannot even solve simple automobile technology, let alone exchange the market for technology to obtain other people's aircraft engine technology. It is simply idiotic. explain

".

A major strategic mistake that year. It has become a national tragedy. If the operation persists and is used as a technical platform, large transport aircraft and strategic bombers will already be in the sky. Only then will we have a truly global strategic air force, which will be much more proactive on many issues. .

"As far as the system parts are concerned, they all use self-developed supporting products. Its landing gear is designed and manufactured by Shanghai itself. Including the automatic anti-skid system, it is technically difficult, but there is no problem in using it. Others are Including avionics, electrical systems, mechanical systems, etc., they are all domestically supplied. After the collapse of Yun Qingmu, many of these things were stopped or abandoned. Major key projects. They are the Yang project (satellite project), the Xu project (Yunji), the Yu project (nuclear station), and the Yinzu project (ocean survey ship). Among them, Yunji was the first to produce results, but now the worst one is also Yunshi. , mentioning this matter makes my chest feel tight. Small.

The most distressing. The technical team of the Shanghai factory that built the engine back then has all been lost. The situation of state-owned enterprises has gone from bad to worse in the past two years. The Shanghai factory also went bankrupt and was dissolved because there was no business. At this time, I thought of picking up the aircraft engine business again. If I can find it, The original technical team is undoubtedly very beneficial.

"Alas, no matter what. We must find the best of these people. To build an engine, we need not only small designers but most importantly skilled technical workers. Without them, this goal cannot be achieved. Many things are impossible. Copied on the drawings," the old expert said to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing nodded and said, "No problem, as long as these people are still alive, I will find a way to invite them back one by one!"

Almost everyone didn't believe that Fan Wubing could do this, but Fan Wubing quickly started taking action. At his request, and with the cooperation of CCTV, a documentary about the old project was quickly produced, and was immediately broadcast continuously during prime time, and on several of the largest newspapers and media in the country. There also began to be an overwhelming discussion about China's large aircraft project and the success or failure of the old transportation project.

After a week of continuous publicity. During the advertising time after the news broadcast. A fifteen-second advertisement was inserted. The advertisement was very simple. In the background of transporting old aircraft, a line of large characters was typed out. All participants in the engine project of the Blade Project, whether you are a designer, a technical worker, or a warrior. You are just a cleaner, no matter where you are, what your current situation is, whether you are busy with mundane tasks or you are old, it doesn't matter. What matters is that the motherland needs you!
