Chapter 114 The Market Cannot Buy Technology (Two-in-One)

After getting through the phone, Du Yishan explained the current situation simply and expressed that he wanted to hear the other party's opinion.

Of course, some content related to Ding Gaoheng's identity is hidden.

The main reason is that he is worried that if Chang Haonan knows that the director of the Science and Technology Commission is present to observe, it will affect the latter's judgment.

Or make the other person feel apprehensive when speaking.

After hearing this, Chang Haonan's first reaction was actually a bit confused.

He even confirmed it with Du Yishan:

"So... the current situation is that because of the document I submitted, experts are arguing about which standard system should be chosen?"

"That's what happened, so I called you to see what you think as an author." Du Yishan gave an affirmative answer:

"I have already read the contents of the document. From the theoretical basis to classification instructions to engineering experience and operating methods, it is very systematic and complete, so what you submit is definitely not just a technical manual, but a complete Analyze and evaluate the system.”

"In this case, you must have had your own ideas about our China's standard system during this process, right?"

"Well……"

Chang Haonan on the other side of the phone was speechless.

He wanted to say he didn't.

As a person whose main work experience before rebirth was in the 21st century, it is almost instinctive for him to use the autonomous system that was developed by referring to Russian and French technologies in later generations.

So when I wanted to write this evaluation method, I never thought it would trigger such an exaggerated reaction.

The original intention was to write a technical manual to make the GJB/Z64-94, which was impossible to start engineering, more complete and more usable.

But since Du Yishan himself has already figured out the plot, Chang Haonan can't possibly slap his teacher in the face.

And after the former's reminder, he had already realized the problem.

At this point in time, since the domestic production plan of the MD90 is progressing smoothly and rapidly, the industry still has very strong illusions about the other side of the ocean, believing that it can completely rely on the US aviation industry system and use the "market for technology" approach. Improve your capabilities in the aviation field.

Although the two countries had already had a serious naval and air confrontation at the beginning of the year, except for the military and military industry, most people were not so sensitive to this matter.

In fact, not only the civil aviation industry, this illusion actually exists in almost all fields.

It was not until 1999, 2001, and even 2019 that I was subjected to all-round suppression that I was awakened bit by bit by painful lessons.

The market cannot buy technology.

This is true for all industries, whether it is automobiles, aviation, chemicals, or electronics.

Giving up the market without technology will only allow others to eat up the market and suppress your technology at the same time!

If you can't get out of your own system, relying on others will only lead to death.

Of course, in 1996, it was a fool's errand to immediately change people's minds.

In fact, even Chang Haonan himself in his previous life gradually changed after going through such a process.

But everything has to start somewhere.

And this time's accidental collision may be a good opportunity.

"That's right, teacher."

After thinking about this quickly in his mind, Chang Haonan made a decision:

"Actually, I already had this idea some time ago, so when I was improving the aviation engine stability evaluation system this time, I specially restructured the standard part based on the actual situation of the current domestic aviation industry."

"Although this is only a small part of the entire industry standard system, because it coincides with the high-altitude simulation test of Turbojet 14, I think this is a good entry point."

"If China's aviation industry wants to develop, it must have its own, independent development system. I hope to prove this through the Kunlun project."

Over the phone, Du Yishan and Ding Gaoheng looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Although Chang Haonan did not directly state which party he supported, from his just answer, it was obvious that his position was to make major changes to the existing standards.

Or to put it simply, start from scratch.

Even more radical——

Not just GJB/Z64-94, but the standard system of the entire aviation industry must be reconstructed to unify what was originally pieced together.

Neither of them thought that an undergraduate who had not yet graduated would think about issues from such a high level.

And it really made him think about something.

Thinking of this, Du Yishan asked a second question with strong interest that was not originally planned:

"This is indeed a good idea, but Hufei is currently cooperating with McDonnell Douglas to produce the MD90 passenger aircraft, and the progress is quite good. If drastic changes are to be made to the standard system, how should such cooperation projects be handled? Do you think about it? Have you passed?"

"Of course I've considered it..."

Chang Haonan quickly organized his words while talking about less important content.

He had never thought about the Hufei and McDonnell Douglas project before, and there was no need to think about it, because in a few months, the first thing Boeing would do after acquiring McDonnell Douglas was to disrupt the project and have it destroyed. MD90 related technical information from China.

The meaning is very obvious. Even if you don't want this model, it is impossible for you to get the relevant technology from China.

Of course, Boeing's methods are very clever.

They first stated on the surface that "the acquisition will not affect cooperation on trunk line projects. As long as Shanghai Aircraft is willing to continue to work, Boeing will continue to provide support."

But then they turned around and announced that they would completely close the McDonnell Douglas production line in the United States by the end of 1999 and would no longer develop new McDonnell Douglas family aircraft. .

This move directly caused the global civil aviation industry's confidence in the MD series passenger aircraft to collapse. Even if Shanghai Aircraft Corporation built the aircraft, it would not be able to find customers at all.

If domestic airlines rely on subsidies to digest the problem internally, they will have to pay nearly 100 million yuan to build a plane.

As a result, the public opinion that "it is better to build than to buy" once again gained the upper hand, and finally Hufei had no choice but to proactively stop the project.

During the ten years of cooperation, in order to adapt to the American system represented by McDonnell Douglas, Hufei has given up the standards and experience formed during the Yun-10 period.

Now that MD90 production has been stopped, the US system has not adapted.

In the end, all efforts were in vain.

In fact, the mainline aircraft project to jointly produce the MD90 went astray from the beginning.

The aviation manufacturing industry is a technology-intensive industry that can provide a large number of high-paying jobs and cultivate a group of skilled workers and engineers.

These talents will also be helpful to the development of China's own aviation industry in the future.

From this perspective, there is no problem in manufacturing aircraft for others.

And the more produced, the better. It would be best to produce the entire aircraft in China.

However, in the MD90 project, OEM production is only a small part. The real focus is that someone wants to bind the entire aviation industry, at least the civil aviation industry, to the United States.

This is not going to end well.

Even if it is really established, it will be nothing more than a flowery trellis that will fall down as soon as it is pushed.

Not to mention China, even Japan, a die-hard brother of the United States, has suffered a bloody blow on this road.

Every time there is any sign of a breakthrough, he will be suppressed from all directions with fatherly love.

At that time, if your entire industry system is completely dependent on the other party, you will naturally be unable to fight back.

Chang Haonan's idea is that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and there is no need to drag it out until 1999 in entanglement like in the original timeline.

It would be a good thing to cut off from the US aviation industry system earlier.

Wouldn't it be nice to save these three years to improve your own system, or even go back and do pre-research on new models?

Independence is the only right path.

But there is no way to say this directly.

On the one hand, Chang Haonan, as a person with no background in commercial law, makes such a headless judgment directly, which is outrageous and unconvincing.

On the other hand, Chang Haonan really doesn't understand these things. He only knows that Boeing finally successfully acquired McDonnell Douglas. As for the exchange of interests and infighting...

Sorry, don't know.

So in the end, he decided to adopt a more diplomatic approach.

"Teacher, I think that in terms of specific technologies, it is necessary to absorb or introduce advanced foreign experience. It will also help us quickly narrow the gap, but this is not inconsistent with us establishing an independent aviation industry system."

"I have seen a story about the Ermao Black Sea Shipyard in a magazine before. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the No. 0 dock of the shipyard at that time was the Ulyanovsk aircraft carrier, which was about one-third complete. The West has been worried It will be completed after the turbulent period."

“Soon a company from Norway approached the Black Sea Shipyard and ordered two cargo ships with a displacement of 100,000 tons, but they needed to be built according to Western standards, and only the currently occupied No. 0 slipway in the entire shipyard could build this size. ship."

"Ermao finally decided to dismantle the Ulyanovsk to make room for it, and let the Black Sea Shipyard adopt Western shipbuilding standards to transform the slipway in preparation for the production of new orders."

"But after the aircraft carrier was demolished, the Norwegian company suddenly announced the cancellation of the order, and after paying a liquidated damages, there was no news again."

"The Black Sea Shipyard abandoned its shipbuilding capabilities and experience under Soviet standards and failed to obtain new orders, so it quickly lost its ability to build large ships."

"..."

After telling this story, Chang Haonan stopped talking.

He knew that Du Yishan would definitely understand.

In fact, many people know the story of this Black Sea shipyard.

The American approach to the MD90 project is almost a reset of the original version.

What you are playing is a conspiracy.

However, although the method is not new, it is very easy to use.

Chang Haonan was able to detach himself and sort out the whole thing, not because he was smarter than others.

Simply because he made the mistake and knew the direction of future development.

…

Just as Chang Haonan was thinking, the faces of Ding Gaoheng and Du Yishan on the other side of the phone became serious.

Of course they knew what Chang Haonan wanted to express.

It is nothing more than that China Aviation Industry is also facing the same situation as the Black Sea Shipyard.

The MD90 is the two freighters ordered by the Norwegian company.

"Okay, I understand what you mean."

Du Yishan took a deep breath, knowing that today's call should end here:

"The Science and Technology Commission will consider this matter comprehensively, and you will promote the simulation test of the Turbojet 14 as soon as possible. If you want to expand the evaluation standard to a new standard, sufficient engineering data is necessary."

"Okay, teacher."

"Then you go ahead and do your work first. The subsequent decision will be issued in writing and we will discuss it then."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, then raised his head and looked at Ding Gaoheng across the desk again.

The atmosphere of silence lasted for about a few minutes.

Ding Gaoheng lit a cigarette again and took a puff this time, but his movements were not very skillful.

"This student of yours is indeed very different."

"Today's situation is completely beyond my expectation." Du Yishan waved his hand:

“I thought this would be an engineering-focused conversation.”

"In any case, the possibility raised by Comrade Xiao Chang cannot be ignored." Ding Gaoheng took another puff of cigarette: "If this is really the case, all we can do is to remedy the situation before it is too late."

Obviously, after talking to Chang Haonan, he had made a decision.

"The MD90 project has even started production of parts and components. It cannot be stopped without any reason. How are you going to deal with it?"

Although this is a question, judging from Du Yishan's expression, he obviously already has his own idea and is just checking the answer with Ding Gaoheng.

"Mr. Du, this is asking questions knowingly."

The latter threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and rubbed his dry lips:

"Comrade Xiao Chang also said just now that introducing advanced foreign experience is not inconsistent with our establishment of an independent aviation industry system, so..."

"Change the focus of the mainline aircraft project to digesting and absorbing key technologies, and summarizing and accumulating experience in the assembly and manufacturing of large civil aviation aircraft. We will use these in the future."

…

When the adjournment period ended and the meeting resumed, the atmosphere became completely different.

Ding Gaoheng, who had previously sat at the top and never expressed any attitude, almost got straight to the point.

He said that the construction of a new and independent aviation industry standard system is imperative. Many of the old standards are just to solve problems when objective conditions are insufficient to form a basic framework system. Nowadays, with the advent of technology, In order to improve the development and progress of the system, consideration should be given to completely supplementing and replacing inappropriate content.

As the director of the Science and Technology Commission, the weight of his statement is naturally completely different.

The second half of the meeting lasted less than half an hour.

Although several experts from Hufei chose to reserve their opinions, they still agreed to start preparations for the establishment of a new standard.

The advantage of the system of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is that although there may be different opinions during the discussion process, after the final decision is made, the entire system can still ensure that it works together.

So that night, an expert group of 10 people was set up headed by Liu Zhenxiang.

Their mission is twofold.

The first is to go to Fucheng to track the testing of the Turbojet 14 and conduct a more detailed review of the "Aviation Engine Inlet Distortion Test and Assessment Method".

Second, if the approval is successfully passed, then GJB/Z64-94 will be reconstructed on the basis of the "Method" to establish a new gas distortion test standard that is adapted to China's actual conditions as a new standard for the aviation industry. The starting point of the system.

The hurricane caused by Chang Haonan's butterfly is becoming more and more violent.

The extra update will still be in the afternoon
