Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Manager Lin, let's go, the car is ready."

The train arrived at the station and Lin Kaifeng got off the hard sleeper car.

Professor Song quickly came to Lin Kaifeng and took him out of the train station.

"The reason why the meeting was able to move forward so quickly was entirely due to the attitude of the top leaders."

Professor Song was traveling alone in a car with Lin Kaifeng.

It would take some time for the convoy to reach the Third Ministry of Machine Building, so Professor Song told Lin Kaifeng some of the hidden secrets.

The attitude of the Third Ministry of Machine Building was ambiguous.

On the contrary, the top leader was very interested in this.

The old leader wrote the instructions personally.

Be bold to try things and don’t be afraid to make mistakes.

Professor Song received another message from personal channels.

Things went so smoothly not only because Northern Machinery Company was a major foreign exchange earner in the country and had repeatedly made outstanding contributions to the country's economic development.

Moreover, it was because of Lin Kaifeng’s identity.

This identity does not refer to Lin Kaifeng's position as general manager, nor the personal relationship he has established with foreign businessmen.

It’s organizational membership.

Half a year ago, Lin Kaifeng completed the preparatory period.

Become a full member of the organization.

So it is.

Only the top leader will trust Lin Kaifeng.

Look forward to his ideas.

At 2:25, several cars stopped in front of the Third Ministry of Machine Building.

Everyone came down and entered the office building together.

The meeting was scheduled to start at three o'clock in the afternoon, with all the scientific researchers present.

Leaders of various departments participating in the meeting also put down their work and went to the conference room for the meeting.

By three o'clock, the huge conference room was full.

On the left hand side, all of them are the leaders of the Third Ministry of Machine Building.

On the right are scientists and department heads of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

The meeting was chaired by Vice Minister Zhao and Lin Kaifeng gave a comprehensive explanation.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you once told Professor Song that the mainstream civil aviation market abroad has always been controlled by aviation companies in the United States and Europe. Our domestically produced large aircraft, the Yun-10, will also enter this market in the future."

"If you were in charge of the domestic large aircraft project, how long would it take to complete the project? Once it is finalized, how would you plan to promote the commercial development of our large aircraft?"

Vice Minister Zhao came straight to the point without any nonsense.

Using Lin Kaifeng’s own words, he asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

Lin Kaifeng looked around and said seriously, "Report to Vice Minister Zhao, if the country trusts our Northern Machinery Company and trusts me, and entrusts the large aircraft project to our company for research, I promise that within three years, all research work on large aircraft will be completed and all problems in the commercial field of large aircraft will be solved."

“Within ten years, we will bring the Yun-10 aircraft into the international aviation market.”

"We will not only make our Yun-10 aircraft the world's fourth largest large jet airliner, but we will also allow it to go abroad and be sold to other countries and regions."

Lin Kaifeng's remarks were truly earth-shattering.

According to everyone's idea, it is already difficult for the scientific research department to complete the overall research of domestically-produced large aircraft.

It is even more unrealistic to sell domestically-made large aircraft.

When exporting abroad, it is inevitable to compete for the market with aircraft companies from the United States, the West, and the Soviet Union.

Lin Kaifeng continued, "One hundred million yuan is invested in the large aircraft project every year, which is too little. To complete all the research on domestic large aircraft within three years, the funds invested must not be less than one billion yuan."

"If 1 billion is not enough, we can add 2 billion or 3 billion to build a domestically produced large aircraft."

At present, the domestically produced Y-10 aircraft has completed many flight tests, but there are still many internal problems.

For others, these are problems.

To Lin Kaifeng, they had no impact at all.

If we do not get involved in the research of the domestically produced Y-10 aircraft now, when the large aircraft project is officially discontinued, the two prototypes will become junk that no one cares about.

If Lin Kaifeng takes them over again, the difficulty will decrease, but the technical problems will be ten times more than now.

Let’s not talk about other issues for now.

Let’s talk about the data.

The domestic Yun-10 aircraft project was affected by funding, technology, and external ideological reasons, and the prototype went from being the focus of everyone's attention to being ignored.

Relevant research data and technical information have been lost, damaged, and stolen one after another.

By the end of the 80s, almost half of the technical documents related to the domestic large aircraft project had been lost.

As for why so much was missing, it was because it was stolen and discarded as waste.

Or maybe someone is taking advantage of this to make a profit.

Lin Kaifeng is not sure.

All we know is that in a few years, the information on the Y-10 aircraft will become incomplete.

"Leaders, the main issues affecting the Yun-10 aircraft, in addition to large forging presses, multi-axis CNC machine tools, a comprehensive understanding of avionics systems, and the engine construction technology of civil airliners."

"All these issues will be handled by Northern Machinery Company. I will use various channels to obtain all the technical products that will help the project to be completed."

Lin Kaifeng expressed his attitude in a firm tone, almost like issuing a military order.

Boeing and Airbus are the leading aircraft types in the international civil aviation sector.

Like two insurmountable mountains.

But when have the Dragon people ever been afraid of difficulties?

In ancient times, there was Yugong moving the mountains, and in modern times, there are two bombs and one satellite.

The story of Yugong moving the mountains is a myth, but the research on the two bombs and one satellite is real.

Lin Kaifeng said: "In the 50s, we had everything we wanted. In the eyes of the Soviet Union, the United States and other developed countries, researching ballistic missiles and conducting nuclear weapons research was a pipe dream."

"I remember a Soviet expert said that without their help, even if we were given 10,000 years, we would not be able to develop the two bombs and one satellite."

"Dear leaders, how long did it take for our country to initiate the research on the two bombs and one satellite until it achieved final success?"

"Which country has provided us with technical assistance?"

Just a few words made everyone feel deeply moved.

The research on the two bombs and one satellite could not have started without the help of the Soviet Union.

While the Soviet Union helped Longguo, it also created a lot of obstacles and problems for Longguo.

In terms of nuclear weapons research, the Soviet Union provided a large amount of data, many of which were core data that were wrong.

If we study these data, perhaps it is true as the Soviet Union said.

For ten thousand years, the Dragon Kingdom will not be able to develop nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles.

In the early 60s, the Soviet Union became more and more aggressive and put forward a large number of conditions that were difficult for Longguo to accept.

Subsequently, the Soviet Union withdrew all experts and demanded that Longguo immediately repay the Soviet loan.

If we talk about hardship, that era was truly hard.

The current situation is much better than it was back then.

At least the two superpowers can no longer put pressure on Long Country.

The export commodities of Longguo are being exported and earning foreign exchange in an orderly manner.

All of these provide favorable opportunities for further research on large aircraft.
