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

Chapter 387 Three Jumpers in the Air, a Two-seater Gyrocopter

At dawn, General Liu was refreshed and said enthusiastically: "The ancients said that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. After talking with you all night, I am full of confidence in this new weapon and new tactics."

"When you develop drones and drone swarm tactics, I will present you with a first-class medal of honor on behalf of the military and commend you with great fanfare."

Lin Kaifeng said, "General, you are too kind. These are all what I should do. There is no need for commendation. Can you approve a batch of military materials for me?"

"What do you want these for?"

General Liu said uncertainly: "In addition to producing military drones, is it possible that the Northern Machinery Group is planning to further expand its business scope and participate in weapons research and development and manufacturing?"

"Not weapons development, but an interesting flying machine."

After completing the acquisition of Shencheng Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, Lin Kaifeng assisted the plant in expanding its scale and recruiting production workers and technicians.

Before leaving, Lin Kaifeng gave the factory a special task.

According to the technical drawings left by Lin Kaifeng, a special dual-use military and civilian aircraft was developed and manufactured.

Since it is dual-use, some of the materials must be military materials.

The business scale of Northern Machinery Group has always been centered around the civilian sector.

All kinds of goods produced are also civilian goods.

There is not a single bit of military material.

"I won't ask you what special aircraft you are going to build. Once you have it built, you must call me immediately. I want to see for myself what you have come up with."

The research has not yet been completed, and General Liu knows that even if he asks, it may not be comprehensive.

Keep your doubts to yourself for now and wait until the research is complete to see the finished product.

Regarding the matter of military materials, General Liu will now give Lin Kaifeng a note.

Lin Kaifeng said that it was written by General Liu.

"Thank you, old general."

Lin Kaifeng was not polite and listed dozens of military materials in one breath.

Ten minutes later, General Liu called the guard to his office and handed him the note he had just written.

Arrange guards to contact the military's subordinate material warehouses and allocate military materials to the Northern Aircraft Manufacturing Company according to the content.

……

"Director, Mr. Lin is really powerful. He delivered all the military materials needed for each component to us at once."

"With these military materials, I estimate that we can build a three-wheeled vehicle in three to five days."

"What kind of three-wheeled vehicle is this? It's obviously a two-seater gyroplane."

"Anyway, I think it's still the image of a three-wheeler."

In the evening of the next day, the aircraft manufacturing plant welcomed more than a dozen military trucks loaded with supplies.

Those who were preparing to get off work immediately guided the trucks to unload the supplies into the warehouse.

Factory director Zhang Guoqing put his hands on his hips and stared at the military materials being transported to the warehouse.

Deputy Factory Director Jiang Weimin was filled with indescribable admiration.

Before meeting Lin Kaifeng, the aircraft manufacturing plant was like an orphan, and its affiliation would change every once in a while.

Funding cannot be guaranteed, and even normal production has become intermittent.

As the Shencheng Aircraft Manufacturing Plant was acquired by the Northern Machinery Group, the entire factory was in turmoil.

Needless to say, wages have increased several times.

All kinds of benefits, bonuses and subsidies have made everyone dizzy.

The aircraft factory expanded tenfold, and the number of technicians and workers soared from a few hundred to thousands.

Jiang Weimin said, "Director, I would say we should not wait until tomorrow. Let's start processing and assembling today. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can report the good news to General Manager Lin."

Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing turned around and looked at everyone, and said, "Comrades, what are your opinions?"

"Work overtime to make a three-seater helicopter, no, no, a two-seater helicopter."

"Director, we have completed the research on the drawings, and the problems in processing, production, and manufacturing have almost been solved. Let's get started."

"We worked hard for two or three days and nights to get the plane out. This is our way of repaying General Lin's kindness."

"Yes, we also need to let others see that we engineers are not just eating for nothing."

"In that case, let's do it!"

Zhang Guoqing waved his hand.

The aircraft manufacturing plant, renamed Northern Aircraft Manufacturing Company, has a glorious history.

The aircraft factory, which was founded in the 50s, has always been a leader in the domestic aircraft manufacturing field.

If it had not encountered economic reform and the end of the big-pot era, the factory would still be a prominent state-owned enterprise.

Since we can make large civilian aircraft, making small aircraft is simply easy and enjoyable.

Just do it.

Zhang Guoqing led everyone into the workshop and called back the technicians and engineers who had already gone home.

Since becoming a subsidiary of Northern Machinery Group, everyone's income has increased significantly, from the factory director Zhang Guoqing to the ordinary workers.

Zhang Guoqing's total income is close to one thousand yuan, and ordinary workers who have just entered the factory can also get more than three hundred yuan in salary and bonuses.

It is absolutely unique in the whole of Shanghai.

In the past, the surrounding factories laughed at the aircraft manufacturing plant for being on the verge of collapse.

It has transformed from a large state-owned enterprise into a burdensome enterprise that no one cares about.

Now, none of them could laugh anymore.

Whenever I see workers at an aircraft manufacturing plant, I would approach them and ask if the factory is short of staff.

Unmarried young male workers also became treasures.

Girls who are pretty and come from well-off families are proud to marry workers in an aircraft manufacturing plant.

Without Lin Kaifeng, there would be no Northern Aircraft Manufacturing Company today.

Zhang Guoqing led the engineers and took the lead.

He led others to work in three shifts to complete the first production task assigned to the company by Lin Kaifeng.

During the three days, everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Tirelessly busy with their respective tasks.

Today, a two-person rotorcraft has finally been built.

Dozens of people gathered around the helicopter and commented on it.

Drawings are drawings, but when the two-seater rotorcraft became a real thing before their eyes, everyone's mood was somewhat complicated.

No matter how you look at it, this thing doesn't look like an airplane.

More like a three-wheeled cart.

"Director, why do you feel so awkward?"

Jiang Weimin smoked a cigarette while saying, "This strange-looking aircraft can be of some help in the civilian field, such as spraying pesticides, field rescue, and forest fire prevention. But when it comes to the military field, I really don't see any military value in it."

"Old Jiang, don't say you didn't notice it. We are all confused too."

"How can such a crude aircraft be used in the military field?"

Everyone was talking at once, but Zhang Guoqing remained silent.

"Three-wheeled motorcycles, motorcycles, I understand!"

Zhang Guoqing threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "Comrades, you think it's strange because the aircraft has no weapons installed. If heavy machine guns were installed in front of it or on both sides, what do you think would be the effect?"
