Great Power Technology

That night, before Ye Zhou went to bed, he received the news that the project had been approved. The budget had increased from 20 billion to 40 billion. The project goal was changed from completing the trial production of a single engine to completing the trial production and completing the second engine under the condition of solidifying the production process. of industrial production.

Compared with Ye Zhou's goal, the difficulty of this goal has increased a lot. Although the core "imitation" goal has not changed, from "imitation" to "mass imitation", this is a completely different concept.

The aspects involved include industrial cooperation, raw material manufacturing, production process solidification, personnel skill training, etc., which are all no small issues.

This is a job that requires a global perspective. Both Chen Hao, as the project commander, and Ye Zhou, as the technical commander, will face greater challenges.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhou called Chen Hao.

"Boss Chen, your results came out so quickly? Did you just finish the meeting?"

Chen Hao on the other end of the phone seemed to be eating a late-night snack, and his voice was a little unclear.

"Yes, I just finished the meeting and the results have basically come out, but the specific project details need to wait for a few days. When the details come out, I will send you a detailed road sign design document, and then we will start to recruit people and participate It’s the choice of the unit.”

"This project will still be led by you. You will decide on the selection of units and personnel. If you need a professional consultant at that time, just tell me and I will assign it to you."

Ye Zhou nodded. Aviation engines are known to be complex products in the history of human industry. They require a huge amount of upstream and downstream knowledge. From materials to processes, the final engine is the cooperation of hundreds of companies from different industries. result.

This leads to the fact that no one can fully understand all the knowledge - not even Ye Zhou, who has a simulator.

Therefore, Chen Hao’s proposal on professional consultants is very pertinent and practical.

"Understood, what I mainly need are industrial research consultants. I want them to help me select the most suitable ones from all domestic related manufacturers to participate in the project. But my basic principles remain unchanged. The core unit of this imitation Let’s choose one from Shu Fei or Feng Fei.”

"Okay, then I'll notify Liming and Shufa first and let them prepare in advance. Do you have any preference for these two companies?"

The Liming and Shufa mentioned by Chen Hao respectively refer to the Fengtian Liming Engine Group, the legendary 460th Institute, and the Shucheng Shufa Engine Group, the 420th Institute.

These two companies are responsible for the research and development of turbofan 15 and turbofan 18 respectively. They are both the strongest aero-engine manufacturers in China and are affiliated to Fengfei and Shufei Group Companies respectively.

In the past two years, Fengfei and Shufei have received mixed reviews in China, but most people think that Shufei is stronger because they built the J-20.

But Ye Zhou had exactly the opposite idea.

Ordinary people have only seen the J-20, a fourth-generation aircraft that took decades of technical expertise to finally take shape, but rarely pay attention to the J-16, the strongest flanker in the country.

Compared with the J-20, this aircraft cannot be said to have any progress across the ages. It has a conventional aerodynamic layout, cannot be invisible, has average beyond-visual-range combat capabilities, and average electronic warfare capabilities. It is rated as a third-generation and a half aircraft. There are many people who are dissatisfied.

However, this aircraft has an extremely outstanding advantage, that is, it has large quantities and sufficient capacity.

To give a very simple example, in a mission, if the J16 wants to blow up a radar station, it can bring two anti-radiation missiles, two combat bombs, two medium-range bombs, two iron bombs, plus A jamming pod.

After blowing up the radar station, when returning, throw the iron bombs on the high-value targets passing by. If you encounter an enemy air force, throw away the auxiliary fuel tank, climb vertically to an altitude of 15,000 meters, and randomly dive in the direction of the enemy aircraft. Shooting mid-range bullets teaches you how to be a good person.

There are no extra tricks, it just has a large ammunition capacity and is practical.

This is also Fengfei's consistent design idea, to do the best we can under limited technical conditions.

This overall tone is consistent with Ye Zhou’s sedan project this time.

There is no need for too much innovation, because that is what we need to do in the future. The current goal is just to build this engine and make it the best it can be.

Thinking of this, he answered:

"I prefer Feng Fei, but I estimate there will be a lot of opposition by then."

"You also know that some people will object? Isn't Shufei bad? Shufei's technical strength is much stronger than Fengfei. This is an objective fact."

"It's a fact, but Boss Chen, to be fair, does it really require a strong technical background to build an engine according to the drawings I gave? What I need is not to let them start research and development from scratch. What I need is someone who can put my own A unit that utilizes its resources to the extreme.”

Chen Hao on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then replied:

"I understand, you are worried that Shufei's direction will go astray."

"Yes, aerospace manufacturing is a complex industrial chain, involving too many people and technologies, and the barriers to entry are also very high. Once the direction goes astray, it may not be possible to get it back for a long time."

"Of course, I also know that almost no one will mess up in such a major project, but why don't I choose a safer option?"

"Compared to a talented player like Shu Fei, Feng Fei is an honest kid. I feel more at ease when such a job is left to an honest kid."

After hearing this, Chen Hao replied:

"Understood, we respect your opinion, but when the time comes, the final decision still needs to be discussed based on everyone's opinions. After all, this is a big project, and professional evaluation is indispensable. Can you understand this?"

"I understand. The outcome doesn't matter. They are all our children. It doesn't matter who is responsible for it. I'm just making a suggestion."

"Hai, your suggestion is actually very prudent. You have been growing up very fast recently. I remember when I first met you, you still looked like a young graduate who had just graduated. In just a few months, you began to learn how to follow me. Let’s discuss the overall strategy beyond this technology.”

"What else? You said before that I want to shoulder the burden. If I want to shoulder the burden, I must become stronger."

"Well, I have a good consciousness and am a qualified comrade. By the way, I am having a late-night snack near you now. Do you want to come over and have something together? The chip project is basically over. We haven't even held a celebration party. Let's go together today Let’s have a meal and wrap things up?”

"How can you invite someone to dinner on an impromptu basis like you? Let's do it next time. I have something to do in the evening."

"Okay, then you should go to bed early."

After that, Chen Hao hung up the phone. Ye Zhou sat on the sofa and thought for a moment, then walked back to his room and entered the simulator.

He has not withdrawn the technology reward from the last simulation. The main consideration is that the non-working ion engine technology is used in the aerospace field and is not used yet. Instead of taking it out, it is safer to put it in the simulator. .

He entered the plot simulation interface of the simulator, and a new simulation task had appeared. Like the third stage, this simulation also had a pre-introduction.

Ye Zhou clicked on the introduction, and a huge line of titles appeared in front of his eyes.

There is another chapter today, but it’s already afternoon. I’m a little sleepy. I’ll take a nap first.
