A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Indeed it is.

After Pang Guoxing circled around a few times and landed, the workers present went into a frenzy.

Well, it's not that I'm obsessed with the little ahoge (cowlick), but rather with the "flying cat car" that landed so easily.

After all, humanity's yearning for the sky is deeply ingrained.

As soon as they landed, Lao Wang jumped into the seat next to the "Flying Cat Car" and kept urging Pang Guoxing to take off again.

Jiangxia pretended to inspect the car, but actually used a scanner to perform a deep scan of the "Flying Cat Car". Apart from indicating that the engine was affected by the use of low-octane gasoline, there were basically no problems.

So, the "Flying Cat Car" took off again, but Jiangxia stipulated that it could only stay in the air for three minutes.

"Hey, Tie Jun, what type of gasoline did we put in it again?"

"Number 70! That's the best one!"

Do you have 70-octane gasoline? My little guy has been playing with diesel, and I don't think he's ever touched gasoline before.

Of course there were. Back then, gasoline only had three octane ratings: 56, 66, and 70. This was something they learned from the Soviet Union, classifying gasoline based on its octane rating.

Jiang Xia scratched his head. Oh well, it won't have a big impact. Anyway, it's impossible to use aviation gasoline on this "Flying Cat Car". He'll ask the people at the Ministry of Petroleum if they have any fuel with a specification similar to 95 octane gasoline. If all else fails, he can just change the compression ratio of this horizontal engine.

That's just how the environment is. Changing production processes according to different environments is what makes an engineer, hehehe!

Just as Jiang Xia was noting down the points that needed improvement, the Flying Cat Car landed again. Everyone was eager to take a ride, even the old company commander looked at him with longing: "Little Jiang, can I ride it too?"

"What problem could there be? But just to be safe, I'll make some further improvements..."

How to improve it? Of course, we can stuff the parachute that Pang Guoxing carries on his back into the "Flying Cat Car" and make a complete parachute bag.

Remove the counterweight from the front of the vehicle, attach the parachute, and set aside the decorative panel that the level 8 mechanic at the front of the vehicle meticulously prepared. In case of danger, Pang Guoxing can simply pull the rope to open the parachute. Anyway, there are only two gauges on the front of the vehicle, one for speed and one for fuel; nothing else. The space is quite large, but it looks rather shabby.

Hmm? You're saying the parachute can't carry that much weight?

Don't worry, Pang Guoxing is carrying a Russian D-1 parachute, which has an unfolding area of ​​82.5 square meters, a minimum opening height of 20 meters, and can pull a 300-kilogram weight to the ground without any problem.

Perhaps the Russians also felt their aircraft were somewhat unreliable, hence the extra-large materials used in the parachutes they equipped for pilots. Didn't you see their later D-1-8 parachute, capable of allowing people to jump from planes flying at speeds up to 350 km/h?

Furthermore, the frame-type cockpit designed by Jiangxia can detach from the rear engine components. The safety latch, similar to the emergency ejection seat on the J-6, is located under the cockpit seat.

The only slightly disappointing thing is that the driver's seat is made entirely of wood. Well, reducing weight is understandable; even if they had aluminum alloy seats, Jiang Xia wouldn't replace them. What if they get blown to a remote place? A metal seat would be too sticky, and it's not because they're poor!

"Alright! Everyone line up. Each person gets three minutes for one lap and pays 5 cents. After deducting the cost of fuel, the money will go to our drivers as a subsidy."

"Hey, Secretary Liu, you've come at the perfect time! Help me with this accounting!"

Jiang Xia waved to the secretary, Xiao Liu, who was running over. Xiao Liu gave a wry smile and took out a small notebook, bringing it closer to Jiang Xia.

"You really have a lot of fun! There are foreign friends coming up ahead, and it seems they saw your flying thing!"

Ha, if Jiang Xia hadn't known they were coming, would he have bothered assembling this thing in such a hurry?

"Yeah, I'm worried they won't see it. It's not like it's anything new. If you use it well, it can be multi-purpose. If you don't use it well, it can only be used as a sightseeing vehicle to take people for a ride in the sky and collect sightseeing fees."

That's really true. You think it's that easy to install weapon systems and communication radios on a "flying cat car"?

Without some prior knowledge, even with its simple structure, the "Flying Cat Car" could easily crash to the ground. If Jiang Xia hadn't had the scanner and the additional components, things wouldn't have been so simple.

Just like how the French needed to use C language to give them a taste of success, it's the same with the Brazilian sheep. Hanging carrots in front of them makes them willingly part with their money.

Although on the phone, Minister Xia from the First Ministry of Machine Building was happily talking about an order for 50 million small steel cannons, Jiang Xia had a much broader perspective.

How much is $5000 million worth now?

A luxury sedan like a Cadillac costs around $4000. $5000 million could buy 12,500 such luxury sedans.

In New York City, a luxury apartment can cost around $50,000. $5000 million could buy 1000 such apartments.

With so much money, Baba Sheep just wants to buy some "small cannons"? Do you think everyone else is a fool?

The current Baba Yang is a military government; it would be a miracle if its leaders were to consider improving people's livelihoods.

In this world, there is no other regime that loves its children as much as Motherland!

That's what Little Ahoge said! No arguments allowed!

They can just find some excuse to refuse to fulfill the contract later; it's not like they haven't done it before. It's normal for a payment to drag on for seven or eight years.

There's nothing we can do about it; the leaders over there change frequently—a new emperor, a new court.

When effort and reward are not commensurate, there must be ulterior motives.

Jiangxia knows exactly what he's after.

In 1965, Motherland provided Alibaba with interest-free loans worth more than 300 million US dollars in economic and technical assistance. In 1966, it began construction of the Karakoram Highway and also undertook large-scale projects such as heavy machinery plants and casting and forging plants in the vicinity.

Well, if it weren't for the fact that our motherland has such a good international reputation in later generations, it would all be built on real money.

Although our motherland in later generations is wealthy and powerful, and nothing that can be solved with money is a problem, it's not like that now. She's so poor that she doesn't even have the money to breastfeed her child.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to demonstrate an advanced technology that has been around for a long time to the other party and steer their interest toward reciprocal exchange.

That way, you won't get burned holding small amounts of money!

"Oh my, I've thought this through so thoroughly. Motherland is so lucky to have a little brat like me!" Jiang Xia said with a smug look on his face after explaining his thoughts to Secretary Liu.

Secretary Liu wrote down what Xiao Daimao said using a symbol he couldn't understand, then handed the note to the badge-wearing soldier behind him while giving him a thumbs up.

After dispensing a dime, Secretary Liu shamelessly announced loudly:

"I want to fly twice!"

Ha, even if you pay, you still have to wait in line.

"Hey, what did you just write? It looks almost like the handwriting the old army doctor uses to sign prescriptions..."

"Stenography! I am the best stenographer! Certified by the organization!"

"Oh...so between you and that person who gets airsick, who's better?"

Secretary Liu snorted, "It's not about who's stronger now, it's about who's in the lead!"

He then quickly moved to join the queue for the flying experience.

Tsk, why have all the people around Jiang Xia become so shameless?
