Chapter 848 A false alarm

Lynch returned to the research institute and sat in the conference room, listening to the researchers talking about the characteristics of these aircraft.

That's the boss's power, and when he calls out the name "aircraft," the chief engineer can do nothing but praise the name with "a very apt name, a machine that can fly, it's so fitting."

"I already know these specific parameters, so who can tell me, if we produce it through the assembly line, how much can its cost be controlled?"

Most of these researchers are unpopular, but genuinely capable, recruited by Lynch from major heavy industry companies.

There are many such situations in scientific research institutions. Obviously some people have never been in touch with the projects being researched by the research institute, but every time they produce results, his name is always listed at the top.

On the contrary, those who have promoted the progress of the research, those who have actually contributed to the research, will be ranked last.

Is it fair?
Maybe some people think it's unfair, but it's very fair.

The life trajectory of many researchers is from school to research institute. They have always been in the research environment and have not been exposed to society.

They wouldn't know that they accidentally screwed up an experiment that shouldn't have gone wrong last week, which made the director of the institute who was already bald, aggressive internally, and submissive externally feel distressed for a long time.

Researchers never have to think about how much money they have destroyed. They only care about how much their research progress has progressed, but what they ignore is the core that supports their research-funds.

Lynch found a relatively less "simple" engine engineer to serve as the chief engineer. In addition to design, his work is still mainly about management and scheduling.

He knew what was really at the heart of an institute.

Not the researchers and the knowledge in their heads that may seem invaluable, but how much money the institute can give the researchers to "spoil", use whatever they want.

As long as there is enough money, with Lynch's status and fame, what kind of scientists can't be hired?
Of course, in addition to those researchers with professional backgrounds, there are also many civilian scientists here. They also understand the pain of not having funds for research. Compared with pure researchers, they not only have to manage the allocation of funds and the use of resources, but also attract investment by themselves. Also better to touch.

The chief engineer and several obviously more sensitive researchers made quick calculations and gave Lynch a price he could accept.

"In terms of engines alone, we can reduce the price to more than 2 yuan per unit."

When he said this, the chief engineer’s heart was pounding, and the civilian scientists were also blushing and seemed very excited. 5.00% of the sales will be their reward. Even if it is 5.00 yuan for an engine, 1000% is [-] yuan .

They can share 1000 yuan for selling one engine, and 10 yuan for selling [-] engines!

The entire federation is so big, so let’s not talk about military use, let’s sell it to those flying enthusiasts in the federation and even the world, at least a thousand units can always be sold, right?
This is 100 million, and everyone can get at least a few thousand or more tens of thousands. How could this extra income make them unhappy?
And this income will continue until this engine completely withdraws from the stage of history. The profit in it is too big, so big that they are a little short of breath.

Lynch nodded, keeping this figure in his mind, and then asked, "If we use an all-aluminum body with all the spare parts, how much will it cost?"

The chief engineer and researchers calculated again, "Probably less than 4 yuan..."

During this period, the prices of many commodities have not risen, such as gold, the price of gold has been rising, but even if the price rises every day, the price of one ounce is now more than 50 yuan per ounce.

Even a ton of gold is only more than 100 million federal sols, which is why you can buy and sell gold products in an antique shop by the side of the road during this period.

Aluminum alloy is indeed not cheap, but compared to pig iron, it is still cheaper than gold.

The fuselage cost more than 1 yuan plus other spare parts, and the total price was less than [-] yuan. Lynch's first thought was that it was too cheap.

Just when he was about to talk about the cost of additional products that could be calculated separately, Austin coughed, "Mr. Lynch, I have a call for you."

Lynch nodded, and left the conference room after apologizing.

The moment the door of the conference room was closed, the chief engineer and researchers had uncontrollable smiles on their faces.

For the whole machine, they also have money to share, and they can already imagine that a bright future is beckoning to them.

Of course, some researchers think that the chief engineer's quotation is too high.

"Actually, you can give a more accurate quotation, no more than 5000 yuan..."

The chief engineer is a little helpless and impatient, but there are still a lot of jobs that need to be relied on by these academic researchers, "We have to count the scrap rate..."

The researcher who expressed his opinion was stunned. He felt that what the chief engineer said was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

On the other side, Lynch walked into the side hall, and he was the only one in the room.

The phone was placed on the low coffee table next to the sofa, and the receiver was placed aside, apparently in a connected state.

He walked over and sat down, picked up the receiver, "I'm Lynch..."

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Truman's familiar voice came out on the phone. His voice was a little helpless, "What the hell are you doing? There is a saying, otherwise you have to be careful with your ass this time!"

The news that two "mass-produced" aircraft that may belong to the same model appeared outside the city of Bupain quickly alarmed the federal executives. This is not a good time to hold an aviation expo.

In cold weather, those delicate fuselages will become more brittle than in summer, and it is easier to break the wings during sharp pull-up turns.

It is also not friendly to pilots, the colder temperature in the air can be unbearable, and frostbite may even occur.

In addition to the sensitive word "mass production", the Ministry of National Defense soon took the lead in forming a military investigation team to investigate whether this was an "accident" or a "story".

Bu Paine's safety is too important to be missed.

The federal people spent 20 years fantasizing that a non-existent enemy might hit Bu Paine at any time, and it finally played a little role at this moment.

However, news soon spread from the warning area that Lynch's aircraft research institute was conducting a test flight of a new aircraft, and accidentally broke into the warning area.

If ordinary people say they accidentally broke into the security zone, they must be farting, but Mr. Lynch must be careless if they say they are not careful.

Although the matter seems to be over here, people's attention is still on the word "mass production".

The "ultra-fast submarine" of the Gefra people has always been a huge threat to the Federal Navy. Now the only anti-submarine method is to observe the sea surface vertically from a high position and a small angle.

Because the submarine cannot sink too deep, and the metal and structural design cannot achieve deep diving, so if you look down vertically, your eyes will not be intercepted by the light reflected from the sea surface, and you can see the dark shadows sailing slowly in the sea.

Anti-submarine research has become the most important work at present, and anti-submarine hot air balloons are also one of the most popular military equipment at present.

Considering that seawater is composed of water after all, those military scientists believe that it is completely possible to put the hot air balloon at a height of more than 100 meters, such as 150 meters to 200 meters, and tow it by a speedboat for fast sea surface anti-submarine reconnaissance.

To be honest... Although this idea is stupid, it is the only feasible way at present.

Wear equipment to slow down the fall of the hot air balloon scouts, and they will not die in the water for a while, and they can wait for rescue. This will not make the scouts become disposable items, but also take into account the anti-submarine reconnaissance in larger sea areas , that's great!
Although it is a little slower, and although it is a little more affected by the climate, this is the only solution at present!
Until... Today, Lynch's aircraft test flight seems to be very successful. According to the lieutenant colonel, the two aircraft landed smoothly without any accidents. People's minds began to change again.

People are like this, when there is only one choice, even if it is a mouthful of shit, they will swallow it.

But as long as there is a choice, even if there is only another choice, they will not be able to swallow that shit directly, unless the other choice is also a shit.

Some benefits of the flying machine quickly came to these people's minds.

It is efficient, fast, has a wider range and can even go deep behind enemy lines, unlike a fast-rising hot air balloon that can only be observed within a safe range under a suitable climate.

On top of that, people are more interested in a flying machine because it's offensive.

So everyone discussed whether to take this matter out and study it.

If you want to ask who has the best relationship with Lynch, it must be Colonel Truman.

The "First Minister", "Military Colonel", and "Mr. President's best friend and aide" can play a role.

Mr. Truman's "accountability" came so quickly and Lynch expected it. He said with a half-smile, "I apologize for the fact that I may have caused some bad influence. I really didn't notice it. My pilot actually flew over the warning zone."

"Fortunately, they returned in time and did not cause any bad impact or follow-up incidents. I am willing to take responsibility for what has happened."

He's talking like he's actually forgotten that he's the one who told the pilots to fly over the security zone.

Mr. Truman was silent for a moment, "We want to see your aircraft, and right away, Mr. President is also going."

Lynch thought it was normal and not surprising that other people were coming, but Mr. President was a bit incomprehensible.

"Should I know something in advance?"

Mr. Truman heard what he said, "Security measures, if you know that the president was pushed into the safe house with his head held by two agents, you can understand why he would be curious about what made him suffer like this !"
