Of course, Casore blurted out these words out of extreme shock.

With a little bit of self-mockery——

After all, his previous words were still fresh in his mind when he was severely slapped in the face by the reality before him.

Fortunately, at this critical juncture, no one has time to think about these details.

In any case, it is a good thing for everyone that the siding is pre-assembled correctly.

At this efficiency, the production speed of the back structure of the early warning aircraft can be more than doubled, thus saving several months of time and avoiding falling too far behind the David country in progress.

Soon, amid waves of exclamations and cheers, the paving machine completed the entire planned path and accurately "inlaid" all the skin units on several longitudinal beams.

Although the bandages used for clamping will need to be removed later and the overall strength will be further reinforced, the shape of some aircraft cabin walls can already be seen from now on.

In particular, this partially completed pre-attached siding has a notch in the lower right corner.

That is the space reserved for installing phased array radar.

This is also the most obvious difference in the body structure of this aircraft compared to ordinary business jets.

Several engineers gathered around the pre-connected jig again and controlled the crane arm to slowly lower the formed product.

Bain, who was standing next to Cassore, had his eyes sparkling:

"Boss, I want to learn this."

"Ah?"

The former's brain was still in a blank state after the mixture of shock and ecstasy. He turned his head in confusion after hearing the voice.

Bain thought the former didn't understand what he meant, so he quickly explained:

"I mean, this pre-connection process is very good... If it can be used in the production of the Rafale F2, then the production capacity problems we are facing now will be alleviated a lot."

在M88-3发动机测试完成之后,法国海军和空军迅速启动了各自的换装计划,准备将全部F8F、幻影2000和幻影F1等老型号统一成阵风B/C和阵风M。

Together with purchase orders from Egypt and Brazil, the total production volume will be no less than 300 aircraft.

This is definitely a big challenge for the new Toulouse factory which has just been built and put into production.

In fact, before Cassore came to him this time, Bane had been losing his hair because of this matter.

But faced with the eager eyes of his old colleague, Casore couldn't help but look embarrassed.

In order to save face for himself, he has always said that he needs to communicate with the "design team".

But it did not say that the design team is composed entirely of Chinese people.

and so……

Shut up, I want to learn too.jpg

However, Bain was unaware of this situation and continued to speak:

"Also, the demand for fighter jets and business jets is not that great after all. But I have specifically asked before that Airbus next door has thousands of orders in backlog... If we can use this pre-connection process on passenger aircraft, we may even be able to take a piece of the pie in the mainline passenger aircraft market..."

Compared with the huge scale of the civil aviation industry, the business of Dassault Aviation is indeed child's play.

In fact, Toulouse is said to have an aviation industry cluster, but if you tie the other companies together, their scale is not even half the size of Airbus.

It's impossible not to be jealous.

Casore sighed and responded:

"Due to the limitations of the process model, this technology can only be used on pure metal materials. The proportion of carbon fiber in Rafale M and Airbus aircraft is quite high, so the accuracy of the calculation results cannot be guaranteed... If we forcefully apply it, the result will probably be the same as before..."

Although he said so, he began to secretly ponder in his heart whether he should learn from China or directly bring China into the cooperation.

The problem with the former is that even with sufficient information, it still took Dassault's design department about a year and a half to barely understand the wing structure designed by the Chinese for the Falcon 8Z.

However, this pre-connection process is not within the scope of communication between the two parties. It would be difficult to achieve results in four to five years just by stealing knowledge.

But if you choose the latter, there are risks as well.

Airbus is responsible for design and production, while Huaxia is responsible for providing key processes.

What about Dassault?

We can only play the role of matchmaking.

If the other two parties were not too serious, they could just leave Dassault alone and do it on their own.

But if nothing is done, the Chinese people will sooner or later realize the value of this technology.

At the speed at which they enter the European market, it is only a matter of time before they merge with Airbus...

This dilemma gave Casore a headache.

In the end, he had no choice but to put aside the worries in the distance and deal with the things in front of him first:

"Everyone, let's finish this part of the prefabricated wall panels as soon as possible. The customer is still waiting for them..."

"..."

After some trouble, Casore realized that he had not yet informed the Chinese side of the good news.

So he quickly found the correspondent who was forced to work overtime, and sent the situation after the steps were changed to Liang Shaoxiu again, along with a photo of the semi-finished product that only needed final processing.

……

At this time, it was already evening in China.

But Liang Shaoxiu had no intention of leaving the office.

At this point, no matter how much he regretted not sending a liaison officer back to France with Casore, it was too late.

I had no choice but to wait anxiously for news from France.

He was well aware of the efficiency of the fully automatic skin laying machine. Whether it was successful or not, the results should be apparent within a few hours.

"Even if they are French, they wouldn't just leave work in this situation, right?"

After standing up and pacing for who knows how many times, Liang Shaoxiu began to complain in his heart with resentment.

Fortunately, at this moment, a familiar rhythm of footsteps came from the direction of the corridor...

"Mr. Liang!"

Before anyone arrives, the sound has already arrived:

"It's solved, all solved!"

A few seconds later, Marin, with one button of his shirt undone, appeared at the office door.

Although Liang Shaoxiu had confidence in Chang Haonan's level before, he couldn't help but feel happy when the result was finally settled.

He tried his best to suppress his exaggerated expressions and movements. Only the obvious upturned corners of his mouth revealed the turmoil in his heart...

"Let me see!"

Ma Lin stuffed a folder into Liang Shaoxiu's hands:

"According to Mr. Casore's report, they have completed the preliminary pre-connection of the B7 wall panels, and the entire production process will be completed the day after tomorrow at the latest!"

The latter quickly opened it.

As usual, the first page only contains a few words explaining the situation, followed by a photo.

It is not difficult to see that it is the same pre-connected frame as before.

It’s still the same skins and long spars.

But this time, the connections between the units are seamless.

If the first report was not still on the desk, Liang Shaoxiu would even think that the huge gap of two fingers wide was just his imagination...

Especially when the photos in the two reports are placed together, the visual difference is even more obvious.

"It has to be Mr. Chang..."

Liang Shaoxiu couldn't help but sigh:

"With just one move, you can reach a height that others cannot reach..."

After being responsible for the research and development of multiple early warning aircraft models, he once thought that although his overall level was certainly far inferior to Chang Haonan, when it came to aircraft design and manufacturing, relying on the experience accumulated over the years, there might not be much gap.

But the facts now show that although Chang Haonan has been away from the whole machine field for many years, his skills have not declined at all...

Fortunately, Liang Shaoxiu was in a good mood and quickly regained his balance:

"Marin, when you go back, check the production and assembly data of the next B8 wall panel and send it to Dassault after confirming that there are no problems."

"it is good!"

Marin nodded and added:

"Also, Mr. Liang, Mr. Casore meant that if we rent the Beluga transport plane from Airbus, we can transport all the prefabricated wall panels to us at once, but that plane is too eye-catching, so he plans to ship the products in batches using an A340 cargo plane..."

After listening to this, Liang Shaoxiu briefly calculated the project schedule:

"Well, you can also ask Dassault to inform the UAE customers that we plan to go there to complete the actual machine test between June and July!"

This sudden instruction caught Marin completely off guard:

"June to July?"

After a while, he finally responded:

"Wouldn't it be easy for that to collide with David's test schedule?"

Casore had previously said that IAI's G550 Sea Eagle early warning aircraft is scheduled to be tested in May and June.

It is impossible for the two sides to compete on the same stage, and the overlapping schedules would cause some trouble.

"The Kingdom of David?"

Liang Shaoxiu sneered:

"I'm targeting the Kingdom of David!"
