Chapter 377 Concentrate Your Strength for the Aviation Development Battle

40 minutes later, Chang Haonan arrived at Ding Gaoheng's office.

What was somewhat beyond his expectation was that in addition to the latter himself, Liang Zhuoping, chairman of the Aviation Industry Corporation, was also there.

"Director Ding, Mr. Liang."

Chang Haonan only met him once at the interview before participating in the August 3rd Project last year, but no matter what, he must still know the head of his own aviation industry.

But it makes sense if you think about it carefully. After all, with Ding Gaoheng's status, it is impossible for him to host a specific technical meeting in person.

And Chang Haonan doesn't have that much energy to do administrative work.

Therefore, no matter where the conference is, it will definitely be Liang Zhuoping who will be responsible for the actual preparations.

"Xiao Chang, sit down wherever you want."

Ding Gaoheng was looking through a report in his hand. Judging from the cover, it seemed to be about the aerospace engine industry.

Liang Zhuoping actually stood up and shook hands with Chang Haonan.

"Comrade Haonan, long time no see."

After only the second meeting, the title had already changed.

Although it sounds like there is not much difference, the underlying meaning is completely different.

Liang Zhuoping could no longer regard Chang Haonan as a simple junior or subordinate.

In fact, the former is also suffering in his heart at this time and cannot express it.

You know, when Chang Haonan was asked to participate in the August 3rd Project, he had contributed.

But after all, I am not a professional technician, so I did not pay special attention to it later.

After all, in the early days, the frequency of the opponent’s name in the report on the August 3rd Project was not very high.

As a result, by the time I realized something was wrong at the beginning of this year and finally reacted, it was already too late to try to do anything.

Who would have thought that in only about half a year, people would directly build connections with Ding Gaoheng?

So Liang Zhuoping felt a little embarrassed.

In the field of scientific research, he is not an academician, nor is he even a leader such as a chief model engineer.

Administratively, although he is the chairman of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, the other party is not an employee of the Aviation Industry Corporation. Moreover, the relationship between him and Director Ding is unusual. It is not certain who can dominate whom.

As for personal relationships, he is not like Yan Zhongcheng and Yang Fenghao, who have been with Chang Haonan since he first joined the 83rd Project.

If you don’t accompany me through hard work, who will you be if I become successful?

Liang Zhuoping still has this self-knowledge.

In short, the words "Comrade Xiao Chang" were stuck in my throat for a long time and I couldn't say them out.

Finally, I changed my name.

Chang Haonan didn't care about this.

There is no harm in trying to equalize the status with Liang Zhuoping.

Not that I have any problem with this guy.

But in his plan, in the future, all units responsible for aviation power under the Aviation Industry Corporation will be separated to establish a separate China Aviation Engine Group, which will inevitably affect Liang Zhuoping's interests.

Let the other party realize that they cannot fight against the general trend early, but it can minimize the possibility of some unpleasantness when the time comes.

"Director Ding, after detailed research and consideration during this period, I wrote a report on the development of the aerospace engine industry. Please take a look."

Chang Haonan took out a portfolio from his bag and placed it on Ding Gaoheng's desk.

The latter picked up the file bag and paused in shock at the thickness of the contents before opening it quickly.

"Tell me briefly what you think about the aerospace engine industry conference."

Chang Haonan's report was mainly about technical feasibility demonstration and summary of the development of domestic and foreign aerospace industry. It did not directly mention what he just said on the phone.

“I believe that the final shape of the turbojet 14 engine actually achieved the goal set by the high-promotion pre-research project in another form, which was to benchmark the F404 engine and provide technical reserves for my country’s self-developed turbofan engine. "

The so-called high-promotion pre-research project was the first large-scale pre-research project organized and managed by system engineering in the aero-engine field launched in my country in 1980. After 15 years, a prototype was finally produced in January 1994.

Although this prototype achieved the converted flow rate of 25kg/s on paper, in reality...

Anyway, in the project summary, the key part can only be written as "training the talent team."

This is also one of the many setbacks encountered in the process of promoting my country's third largest turbofan.

However, in the current timeline, the performance of the turbojet 14 is too weak, and even reaches the level of the early F404 in some indicators, which is equivalent to giving this not very successful project a forcible respect.

But in any case, this shows that China has figured out the second-generation engine. According to the general rules of scientific research, it is time to develop the third-generation engine.

So after a pause, Chang Haonan continued:

"It should be considered that the basic conditions for officially launching the 8-stage high-thrust turbofan engine project with a thrust-to-weight ratio are now in place. I hope to concentrate the research power of the entire aviation industry system, with the 606th Institute as the chief engineer unit, combined with the 624th Institute and Liming Institute Factory (Factory 410), jointly take the lead, and other units are responsible for assisting and participating, and we can break this hard nut in a relatively short period of time!"

"So, before the project is officially launched, I hope to bring together comrades from relevant units for a meeting. On the one hand, it is to unify their thoughts and make everyone realize that this is not sacrificing themselves to support brother units, but mutual benefit. Mutual benefit, on the other hand, it is also a systematic introduction to the technological breakthroughs we have made in the turbojet 14 project in the past year, as well as some other impacts derived from it, which have given us some confidence in the aviation power field."

After hearing Chang Haonan's statement, Liang Zhuoping, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, was so excited that he opened his mouth several times, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

He was actually familiar with the gameplay Chang Haonan was talking about.

It's just a R&D conference.

However, starting from the late 1980s, on the one hand, this approach was considered to have "backward" characteristics of the times. On the other hand, it was indeed too risky to sell the iron by selling the pot. Once it failed, the entire industry would be damaged. Therefore, gradually Never mentioned again.

There is no way. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years. China's aviation research has suffered too much in this area in the past, and it is still at the stage where overcorrection must be made.

If someone else had come up with this kind of plan, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been seriously considered.

But the person standing here today is Chang Haonan.

So Ding Gaoheng was reading the report in his hand attentively, without showing any tendency.

Although Liang Zhuoping's first reaction was that it was a bit ridiculous, when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he couldn't say anything against it——

When he came today, he also brought a report.

The content is a summary of the development of China's aerospace industry in the past few years.

I don’t know if I don’t summarize it, but I will be shocked when I summarize it.

In fact, until this time last year, Turbojet 14 was still on the verge of a dangerous situation.

After a second-class accident occurred during a test flight, Chang Haonan, who had just completed the overall design improvement work of the J-8C at that time, temporarily joined the research team of the 606 Institute.

It was from that time that the entire project quickly took on a new lease of life.

The only variable between before and after is Chang Haonan.

There is no doubt that when such a number one person says that he must concentrate his efforts on developing turbofan 10, he must still treat it with caution.

Besides, as the head of China Aviation Industry, Liang Zhuoping himself hopes to quickly develop aviation power that is in line with the international advanced level.

I just didn't dare to think about it in the past.

After all, if something goes wrong, he will be the first to take the blame.

Now……

What if it succeeds?

After a long time, Ding Gaoheng, who read the report to the end, finally raised his head.

"Xiao Chang, before making a decision, I only have one question to ask."

"I have estimated that this engine competition will probably account for about 80% of the funding for the aviation power field in the next few years. Even taking into account the increase in funding in the next two years, it will not be less than 60%."

"Have you considered the risks of this?"

As the director of the Science and Technology Commission in charge of military research and production, Ding Gaoheng must look at the problem from an overall perspective. .

The current actual situation of Huaxia is that its financial resources are very thin and it really cannot afford any risks, so the fault tolerance rate is something that it must consider.

"Thinked about it."

"So what I just said is that this is not about sacrificing oneself to support brother units, but about mutual benefit."

Chang Haonan nodded solemnly.

He didn't reply with something like, "There's definitely no risk if I'm here."

Although he did feel that nothing would go wrong, that was not the attitude an engineering technician should have.

Even if you are 100% certain, you must be rigorous and responsible.

“I will divide the Turbofan 10 project into several clear task modules. Each module contains a series of relatively complete technical systems. Each time a small stage is completed, other brother factories participating in the project can obtain systematic knowledge from it. Rather than piecemeal knowledge and experience, it will feed back their improvement work on existing engine models."

"Although the total investment of the entire project is definitely huge, in actual operation, it is actually invested in stages. After seeing the results, it is invested in the next stage, rather than a one-time deal. In this way, both the scientific researchers involved in the project and the Our superior units have some confidence in their hearts."

This is also Chang Haonan's consistent thinking when working on projects after his rebirth.

In fact, it is easy to understand if the superior units are regarded as investors and the R&D projects are regarded as start-ups.

A new company can lose money, but you have to make investors see hope - your superiors can continue to invest in you, but you have to be able to continuously feed back some tangible results.

For most decision-makers who do not have professional technical backgrounds, "the aviation propulsion technology verification plan has achieved initial results, and significant progress has been made in processing, manufacturing and test equipment construction..." This statement is too vague.

But if you directly take out a new engine, even if it is just an improvement and upgrade of an old model, the persuasiveness will be completely different.

And Ding Gaoheng naturally understands this.

It's just that for China's aerospace industry in the past, even initial results were not so easy to achieve...

But now that Chang Haonan is speaking out like this, it at least shows that he has carefully considered all possibilities, rather than making a decision in a fit of passion.

"Zhuoping, I think this meeting will be held in Linyu, how about it?"
