Chapter 508: The mother who changed the straight 9 does not even know...
On November 11, 1997, version 0.0.2.0 of the TORC Multiphysics software was officially released.
The reason why there is such a peculiar version number is that the first 0 represents the public beta version, the second 0 represents the Proplus version, and 2 represents the second major version.
This is an update push only for Super Big Cup users.
So the version number for Dabei users is still 0.1.1.0.
But even so, this has become a watershed in the field of engineering numerical calculation.
The new gridding technology introduced by Torch Company in this update is combined with a dimensionality reduction algorithm for strongly nonlinear partial differential equations.
From the perspective of later generations, it was from this moment that numerical calculation, a tool whose original application scope was limited to a very few fields and was mostly used for reference and regular analysis, was officially raised to " "indispensable" level.
It also marks the first shot of Torch Group from obscurity to global fame.
At least, that's what it said in the "History of the Development of Data Computing" published decades later.
However, Chang Haonan himself, who occupies more than half of the book, sneered at this statement.
The official said that although the software version 0.0.2.0 is very important to him and Torch Group, it is not as intuitive as what is written in the book.
After all, the Super Large Cup was only released to a very small number of users at the time, and 95% of users had no chance to experience it, or even knew that this model existed.
After all, a company or a product cannot exist without the general environment.
What really helps Torch Group go global is Huaxia Industry, which continues to develop and advance under its promotion.
...
As the unit with the closest relationship with Chang Haonan, China Aviation Industry Corporation almost naturally became the first push target for the new version update.
The luckiest among them is Factory 122 in Bingcheng.
Because I came with the installation CD of the new software, and Liu Hongbo, who had just been appointed as the manager of the numerical calculation business department by Chang Haonan for a few days.
Poor Professor Liu was just dragged into the trap by his junior brother with a generous salary, and the first thing he did was to go on a long business trip.
And I have to fly back to school for two classes every week.
The textbook was actually written by the other party.
It is simply unreasonable.
Of course, the complaints are just words. The five-digit monthly salary in the late 1990s was still not good enough.
So the difference is still there.
"Professor Liu, I have admired you for a long time. It is a great honor for you to come to our Bingcheng in person..."
The person who came to greet us was Cui Wenxue, the general manager of Bingcheng Aircraft Industry Group.
Although he relied on building cars to get to the top, Bingfei is still a unit in the aviation industry system, and the core is still the helicopter business.
Bingcheng Motor's achievements can consolidate his position within the Bingfei Group.
But if you want to go further in the aviation industry system, you still have to develop the helicopter as a signboard.
Therefore, although Cui Wenxu only knew a little bit about helicopters, he still showed enough respect for Liu Hongbo, who came to work on the project in person.
In fact, considering the latter's identity, it can even be said to be a bit too enthusiastic...
"Hello, Mr. Cui, would you please come out and make a trip in person..."< br>
As he spoke, a long breath came out in front of him, and his glasses were covered with a layer of frost.
In mid-November in the Ice City, the temperature was already below freezing.
How could Chang Haonan, a Northeasterner, think of reminding others to pay attention to the temperature?
So Liu Hongbo, who set out from the capital, was unprepared for this.
When I got off the plane, I went directly into the terminal and got on the bus, so I didn’t feel much.
Now I got off the bus and stood at the gate of Factory 122 for a while. I was almost numb from the cold.
But in order not to affect the image of Torch Group, we have to hold on...
Fortunately, Cui Wenxue saw that Professor Liu was not well equipped and could not adapt to the dry and cold weather in the Northeast. He took off the leather hat on his head and handed it to him, and then walked quickly into the factory together.
While walking, he did not forget to introduce an old man who had been following him just now.
Although he looks ugly, he is energetic.
“This is Comrade Guo Jingshan, the person in charge of the Zhi-9 technology introduction project and the chief designer of the Zhi-9C, Zhi-9 armed type and civilian H425.”
“… ”
"Are we going directly to the factory?"
Liu Hongbo looked confused at the growing building in front of him.
Although it was his first time here, he could tell from the tall and unlayered style that this should be a production workshop.
"I'm really sorry, Professor Liu, the design work during this period was all completed in the design office here."
Guo Jingshan, who was walking next to him, replied:
< br>
"In the beginning, our 602 Institute was just a research laboratory supporting Factory 122. Later, although the scale became larger, we still retained the tradition of placing the design studio inside the factory..." While talking, several people came together one after another. Went inside the workshop.
The spectacle lenses that had just returned to transparency were suddenly covered with fog again.
Fortunately, there was sufficient heating inside the workshop, and Liu Hongbo quickly saw the whole picture inside.
Having done many projects, it is naturally not the first time for him to enter a place like this, but compared to the other places he often visited before, the production line at Factory 122 seems a bit bleak. .
If we only look at the aviation business, then Bingfei and Guifei are basically brothers in the same boat.
It is located in a remote place and there are no popular models.
In the huge workshop, there are only a few scattered helicopters of different versions and models.
On the contrary, further away on the production line, there seemed to be more of a small twin-engine propeller aircraft.
“Ashamedly, our 122 Factory’s operating conditions in the aviation business are average, so the number of orders is not too many, and most of the work stations are in a state of shutdown.”
Regarding the current situation of Bingcheng Aircraft Group, Cui Wenxue was generous:
“Thanks to the help of Mr. Chang of your company, our small aircraft obtained the airworthiness of the United States and the European Union without much effort. Certification, only then did we sign a large order for 30 aircraft, otherwise there would be no one in sight in this workshop..."
Since the Y-12 is the only one in China that has undergone FAA airworthiness certification before, Regarding aircraft, when Chang Haonan was researching anti-icing technology and negotiating with the European Union, he had involved many technicians from Ice City.
That’s why Cui Wenxue knew the ins and outs.
Hearing this, Liu Hongbo finally understood why people were so enthusiastic about him.
Of course he knew what he was worth. He was relatively well-known in Jinghang University. After leaving school, who would know who Liu Hongbo was? He had done many projects in Haojing before, so how could he have ever seen him personally greeted by the general manager?
It’s just for the sake of Chang Haonan and the Torch Group.
The previous doubt was that Bing Fei did not seem to have any direct relationship with his junior brother.
But now that I think about it, it makes sense.
Based on the various big news that Chang Haonan has made in the past year and a half, the entire aviation industry may have benefited from him to some extent.
After a brief tour of the workshop, Liu Hongbo took the lead in returning to the topic:
"Mr. Cui, Mr. Guo, do you want to take a look at the helicopter design plan that needs our assistance first?"
The two people next to them looked at each other, and it was Cui Wenxue who spoke:
"Okay, let Mr. Guo take you there to understand the situation. I don't know much about aviation technology. I won’t let the layman guide the expert.”
After a brief farewell, Cui Wenxue left the workshop with a few people.
Guo Jingshan noticed Liu Hongbo's somewhat curious expression, so he led the latter towards the design room and explained:
"Mr. Cui mainly manages the automotive business. Regarding specific issues regarding aircraft design, he basically Let me take responsibility.”
Generally speaking, the heads of the groups under the Aviation Industry Corporation will have at least relevant educational background.
Bingfei Group and Cui Wenxue are in extremely special situations.
“That’s it.”
Liu Hongbo nodded:
“That’s not bad.”
If a leader can’t understand what he is doing, then at least he knows how to let go rather than giving blind orders.
"That's true. If we hadn't made money from selling the car, we wouldn't have been able to afford the money to ask you for help this time..."
Guo Jingshan replied with a smile.
While he was talking, he had already brought Liu Hongbo to a computer in the design room.
“This is our preliminary plan for the subsequent development of the Z-9 model. If nothing else happens, we may have long-term cooperation...”
The R&D strength of Bingfei Group It's really a bit weak.
Even though we have tried our best to expand in the past two years, Bingcheng has inherently limited development.
Moreover, it is really difficult for a technical team full of novices to succeed, and they cannot be led by Guo Jingshan alone.
Therefore, hiring foreign aid is a more sensible choice.
“Let me take a look.”
Liu Hongbo put aside the hat Cui Wenxue gave him before, sat in front of the computer and started browsing.
What surprised him was that the entire document was full of details and very long.
To some extent, it can be said to be a development plan for the helicopter industry!
"We want to develop four types of series based on the straight 9?"
Liu Hongbo raised his head and looked at Guo Jingshan, who had been standing beside him.
"That's right."
The latter nodded immediately:
"Some time ago, we have solved some transmission structure defects brought over from the prototype of the Zhi 9 , found that this model has the potential to develop to about 6 tons. ”
"So, our current plan of Bingfei is to rely on the Z-9 prototype to develop four different configurations: assault transport type, special armed type, naval type and civilian type, and then build a complete 4 -6-ton helicopter type spectrum, becoming the leader in my country’s general aviation field! ”
