Chapter 377 Concentrate strength and fight at the Aviation Development Conference
40 minutes later, Chang Haonan arrived at Ding Gaoheng’s office.
Somewhat beyond his expectation, in addition to the latter himself, Liang Zhuoping, chairman of the Aviation Industry Corporation, was also there.
"Director Ding, Mr. Liang."
Chang Haonan only met him once at the interview before participating in the August 3rd Project last year, but no matter what, he had no idea about his own family. The heads of the aviation industry must still know each other.
But it makes sense if you think about it carefully. After all, with Ding Gaoheng's status, it is impossible for him to host a specific technical meeting in person.
And Chang Haonan doesn’t have that much energy to do administrative work.
So when the conference is actually held, no matter where it is, Liang Zhuoping will definitely be responsible for the actual preparations.
"Xiao Chang, sit down wherever you want."
Ding Gaoheng is looking through a report in his hand. From the cover, it seems to be about the aerospace engine industry.
Liang Zhuoping actually stood up and shook hands with Chang Haonan.
"Comrade Haonan, long time no see."
Only the second meeting, the title has already changed.
Although it sounds like there is not much difference, the underlying meaning is completely different.
Liang Zhuoping can no longer regard Chang Haonan as a simple junior or subordinate.
In fact, the former's heart was filled with pain that he couldn't express.
You know, when Chang Haonan was asked to participate in the August 3rd Project, he also contributed.
But after all, I am not a professional technician, so I didn’t pay special attention later.
After all, in the beginning, the frequency of the other party’s name in the report on the August 3rd Project was not very high
As a result, when I realized that something was wrong at the beginning of this year and finally reacted, It was already too late to try to exert any more force.
Who would have thought that in only about half a year, people would directly build connections with Ding Gaoheng?
So Liang Zhuoping felt a little embarrassed.
In the field of scientific research, he is not an academician, nor is he even a leader such as a chief model engineer.
Administratively, although he is the chairman of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, the other party is not an employee of your Aviation Industry Corporation. Besides, the relationship between him and Director Ding is also unusual. It is unclear who can dominate whom. Woolen cloth.
As for personal relationships, he is not like Yan Zhongcheng and Yang Fenghao, who took Chang Haonan with him when he first joined the 83rd Project.
If you don’t accompany me through hard work, who will you be if I become successful?
Liang Zhuoping still has this self-knowledge.
In short, the words Comrade Xiao Chang were stuck in my throat for a long time and I couldn't say them out.
Finally, I changed my name.
Chang Haonan didn't care about this.
There is no harm in trying to equalize the status with Liang Zhuoping.
It’s not that I have any objections to this person.
Instead, in his plan, in the future, all units responsible for aviation power under the Aviation Industry Corporation will be separated to establish a separate China Aviation Engine Group, which will inevitably affect Liang Zhuoping's interests.
Let the other party realize early that they cannot fight against the general trend, but it can minimize the possibility of some unpleasantness at that time.
"Director Ding, after detailed research and consideration during this period, I wrote a report on the development of the aero-engine industry. Please take a look."
Chang Haonan took out a portfolio from his bag and placed it on Ding Gaoheng's desk.
The latter picked up the file bag and paused in shock at the thickness of the contents inside, and then opened it quickly.
“Tell me briefly about your thoughts about the aerospace engine industry conference.”
Chang Haonan’s report is mainly about technical feasibility demonstration and summary of the development of domestic and foreign aerospace engine industry. , and did not directly mention what was said on the phone just now.
“I believe that the final shape of the turbojet 14 engine has actually achieved the goal set by the high-promotion pre-research project in another form, which is to benchmark the F404 engine and develop a turbojet for our country. Fan engine provides technical reserves”
The so-called high-promotion pre-research project was the first large-scale pre-research project organized and managed by system engineering in the aero-engine field launched in my country in 1980. After 15 years, a prototype was finally produced in January 1994.
Although this prototype has achieved the target of converted flow rate of 25kg/s on paper, in fact...
Anyway, in the project summary, the key part can only be written as "exercised" Talent Team".
This is also one of the many setbacks encountered in the process of promoting the third largest turbofan in our country.
It’s just that in today’s timeline, because the performance of the turbojet 14 is too inconsistent, and even reaches the level of the early F404 in some indicators, it is equivalent to forcing this not very successful project. Hug a respect.
But in any case, this shows that China has figured out the second-generation engine. According to the general rules of scientific research, it is time to develop the third-generation engine.
After a pause, Chang Haonan continued:
"It should be considered that the basic conditions for officially launching the thrust-to-weight ratio 8-stage high-thrust turbofan engine project are now in place. I It is hoped that the research strength of the entire aviation industry system can be concentrated, with the 606th Institute as the chief engineer unit, combined with the 624th Institute and Liming Factory (410 Factory), to jointly take the lead, and other units will be responsible for assisting and participating, so as to complete this hard nut in a relatively short period of time. Chew it down!”
“So, before officially launching the project, I hope to bring together comrades from relevant units for a meeting, on the one hand, to unify their thinking and make everyone aware of this. It is not about sacrificing oneself to support brother units, but mutual benefit. On the other hand, it is also a systematic introduction to the technological breakthroughs we have made in the turbojet 14 project in the past year, as well as some other impacts derived from it. Give us some confidence in the field of aviation power.”
After hearing Chang Haonan’s statement, Liang Zhuoping, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, was shocked and opened his mouth several times, but after a while. Time didn't even know how to speak.
He was actually familiar with the gameplay Chang Haonan was talking about. It's just a R&D conference.
However, since the late 1980s, this approach has been considered to have "backward" characteristics of the times. , the entire industry will be stretched, so it is gradually no longer mentioned.
There is no way. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years. China's aviation research has suffered too much in this area in the past, and it is still at the stage where overcorrection must be made.
If someone else had come up with this kind of plan, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have been seriously considered.
But the person standing here today is Chang Haonan.
So Ding Gaoheng was reading the report in his hand attentively, without showing any tendency.
Although Liang Zhuoping's first reaction was that it was a little ridiculous, when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he couldn't say anything against it——
When he came today, he also brought something report.
The content is a summary of the development of China's aerospace industry in the past few years.
I don’t know if I don’t summarize it, but I will be shocked when I summarize it.
In fact, until this time last year, Turbojet 14 was still on the verge of a dangerous situation.
After a second-class accident occurred during a test flight, Chang Haonan, who had just completed the overall design improvement work of the J-8C at that time, temporarily joined the research team of the 606 Institute.
It was from that time that the entire project quickly came back to life in a completely new way.
The only variable between before and after is Chang Haonan.
There is no doubt that when such a number one person says that he wants to concentrate on developing turbofan 10, he must still treat it with caution.
Besides, as the head of China Aviation Industry, Liang Zhuoping himself also hopes to quickly develop aviation power that is in line with the international advanced level.
I just didn’t dare to think about it in the past.
After all, if something goes wrong, he will be the first to take the blame.
Now...
What if it succeeds?
After a long time, Ding Gaoheng finally raised his head after reading the report to the end.
"Xiao Chang, before making a decision, I have only one question to ask."
"I have estimated that this engine battle will probably account for a large proportion of the aviation industry in the next few years. About 80% of the funding for the power sector will be no less than 60% even if the increase in funding is taken into account in the next two years.”
“Have you considered the risks of this matter?”
As the director of the Science and Technology Commission in charge of military research and production, Ding Gaoheng must look at the problem from an overall perspective. .
The actual situation of Huaxia is that its financial resources are very thin and it really cannot afford any risks, so the fault tolerance rate is something he must consider.
“Thinked about it.”
“That’s why I just said that this is not about sacrificing oneself to support brother units, but about mutual benefit.”
Chang Haonan solemnly said nodded.
He didn't reply with something like, "There's definitely no risk if I'm here."
Although he did feel that nothing would go wrong, that was not the attitude that an engineering technician should have.
Even if you are 100% certain, you must be rigorous and responsible.
“I will divide the Turbofan 10 project into several clear task modules. Each module contains a series of relatively complete technical systems. After each small stage is completed, other brother factories participating in the project can Gain systematic rather than piecemeal knowledge and experience to feed back their improvement work on existing engine models."
"Although the total investment in the entire project is certainly very large, in actual operation it is actually. Invest in stages, and then invest in the next stage after seeing the results, rather than buying and selling in one fell swoop. In this way, both the scientific researchers involved in the project and our superior units can have a certain understanding. "
This is also Chang Haonan's consistent thinking when working on projects after his rebirth.
In fact, it is easy to understand if the superior units are regarded as investors and the R&D projects are regarded as start-ups.
New companies can lose money, but you have to let investors see hope - your superiors can continue to invest in you, but you have to be able to continuously feed back some tangible results.
For most decision-makers who do not have professional technical backgrounds, "the aviation propulsion technology verification plan has achieved initial results, and significant progress has been made in processing, manufacturing and test equipment construction..." This kind of statement Too general.
But if you directly take out a new engine, even if it is just an improvement and upgrade of the old model, the persuasiveness will be completely different.
And Ding Gaoheng naturally understands this.
It’s just that for the Chinese aerospace industry in the past, even phased results were not so easy to achieve...
But now that this idea is spoken from Chang Haonan’s mouth, at least it shows He carefully considered all possibilities rather than making decisions in the heat of the moment.
"Zhuoping, I think this meeting will be held in Linyu, how about it?"
