Chapter 772 Celebration Dinner
This important event, half a century after the founding of the People's Republic of China, coincides with the eve of the millennium. Naturally, it cannot be ended with a simple military parade.
The mass celebration does not end immediately after the one-hour official session, but there is still a part where you can actually play.
Especially after the lifting of martial law, people who were originally locked up at home, or who were previously responsible for live performances and were unable to escape, can also participate.
Many teams have celebrity representatives, such as well-known athletes, actors, artists, etc.
For ordinary people in this era where entertainment methods are relatively scarce, there is no Internet, and there is no short video live broadcast, these people are still relatively mysterious.
It is a very rare opportunity to meet a real person.
You definitely can’t let it go.
However, this is the real "Caile de Coral".
Most of the people who can go to the viewing platform each have more important things to do...
"Xiao Qin, what happened to the one you just said will definitely sell out?"
In a media interview car, Liu Jianshe put the equipment bag in the trunk, then got into the driver's seat, While starting the car, he asked Qin Chengbang, who was playing with a laptop in the passenger seat next to him.
Logically speaking, if the two of them, one deputy editor-in-chief and one deputy editor-in-chief, go out to do things, they must have another driver, but every pass for the National Day ceremony, even if it cannot enter the infield, is difficult. If you do it, you can only do it yourself.
“Remember that time we went to the Xiangzhou Air Show?”
Qin Chengbang stared at the computer screen, typing rapidly on the keyboard with both hands, obviously starting to write:< br>
“The reason why the news of that time exploded was not only because you predicted in advance that there would be new aircraft models at the air show, but also the important point was that it directly and publicly demonstrated the turbojet 14 engine that the public had been speculating about, and through flight The performance proved that the performance parameters on the display board are reliable, and it is a huge encouragement to the vast majority of people in the country who are concerned about aviation, or at least interested in aviation.”
In this year, most people. Information can only be obtained through radio, television and traditional paper media, and these two channels are quite unoptimistic in terms of information volume and timeliness.
Things like "Whether xx aircraft uses xx engines?" will cause different factions of netizens to argue for many years 20 years later, let alone the 1990s.
Especially the J-8, from the Turbojet 7 to the Turbojet 14, it changed into three large models and seven or eight sub-models along the way. Coupled with the traditional entertainment skills that many media randomly illustrate with pictures, outsiders actually simply It is impossible to fight for one, two, and three.
For most of the 1990s, the J-8 was one of the few things that Chinese military fans could pay attention to and discuss. There was no new Xiaotiantian that could replace it. It belonged to Top-notch.
Therefore, at the air show that year, the official directly ended the mass production and service of the real-hammer turbojet 14, and its influence was absolutely full.
"Well..."
Liu Jianshe has now given up on explaining that "I was completely guessing back then" and just nodded, indicating for the other party to continue talking.
"I just discovered that the two outermost aircraft in today's domestic new-generation fighter formation use new engines that I have never seen before...in fact, I have never heard of them."
Qin Chengbang originally wanted to explain in detail, but the professional cameras these days all use film, and there is no way to directly see what is being photographed before it is developed.
"This can't be considered an official confirmation, right?"
Liu Jianshe started the car, quickly put the reverse gear on and prepared to leave:
"I remember that time, I specifically showed the engine. We also wrote a big sign.”
“Of course we can’t, but just because we can’t, we have room to play.”
Qin Chengbang is obviously much more proficient in business now. Combined with his understanding of the psychology of the reader group and a little professionalism, he deserves to have his magazine become popular:
"I will finish writing the article about this engine before I get off work in the evening. When I get back, I will ask the printing factory to work overtime. It is best to publish the analysis article in the newspaper tomorrow."
"The focus should not be on the magazine. Over there? "
For Liu Jianshe, newspaper space is actually not important anymore. Most of his income is in special magazines.
“I am just warming up the magazine.”
Qin Chengbang’s thoughts are flowing like a fountain, and with just a few moments of speaking, he has already typed almost half a page of content:
"Our newspaper is in black and white, and the space is limited. We can only put one or two blurry photos. Nothing can be seen at all. When the analysis article is published tomorrow, I guarantee that all interested people will want to read the follow-up , and then put an advertisement for our magazine at the end of the article... Hey, just be ready to print more, maybe we can issue another supplement..."
Because their magazine is a picture album, so It uses coated paper, which is not very common in this era, for high-definition printing. The price is as high as 20 yuan per copy, which is a level where you have to grit your teeth before buying it. Except for some enthusiasts, most people just jump in and buy it, or buy it together with many people. of.
So it is necessary to raise user expectations in advance——
This idea is not backward even in the Internet era, and Liu Jianshe was stunned when he heard it.
But the latter has one good thing. Although he doesn't know much about business, he basically doesn't interfere in the work randomly and directly accepts Qin Chengbang's ideas.
However, while the car was queuing up at the exit of the parking lot, he still looked up at Qin Chengbang's computer screen.
I discovered that I have already written an estimate of the performance of the new engine.
“You said you’ve never heard of it before? Why did you write it in such detail?”
When talking about this topic, Qin Chengbang finally raised his head slightly and showed a smile:
“I really haven’t heard of it, but I can guess.”
"You think, since the target of installation is the J-11, which is the domestically produced Su-27, then a reasonable analysis shows that the performance of the engine should also be comparable to the AL31F."
"Further speculation, since Project 11 has already The Su-27 production line has been introduced. Is it possible that the technology of the AL31F is also in the introduction project, but it has not been made public? "
"So, I reasonably speculate that this model should be based on the AL31F. It is developed from the previous model, which means that the performance should be better, close to the level of the improved AL31F..."
...
At this time, Chang Haonan still didn't know that his Turbofan 10 has been analyzed in the two continents of Europe and Asia to find two completely different, but both very outrageous, technical sources.
For him, the military parade is just the first activity on National Day.
According to the usual practice, there will be some visiting activities in the afternoon, but fortunately, the Aerospace Power Group is a newborn that has only been established for three months, and there are no retired leaders, so this can be ignored.
But he still had to attend the afternoon celebration dinner and the subsequent evening performance.
However, the threshold for these two activities is much higher than watching the military parade.
Those like Zhou Li and Chang Yuanchao will definitely not be able to participate.
However, for the old couple, they are satisfied to be able to go to the capital to watch the military parade in person in their lifetime.
The two didn't even let Chang Haonan send them back.
So the latter, together with many guests who came to Beijing from other places, were sent to the Great Hall to rest.
After lunch, because Chang Haonan did not have the habit of taking a nap, he walked around the lounge to eat.
But at this time, I suddenly heard a voice from behind.
"Mr. Chang?"
He turned around and saw a middle-aged man who was estimated to be in his fifties, but whose hair was half white. The face seemed familiar, but for a moment I couldn’t place my head where I’d seen it before.
I had no choice but to lower my head and glance at the identity tag hung by the other party.
"Oh...Mr. Lin, long time no see..."
Lin Qing, chief model engineer of the 701 Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Group.
The two met once at the Xiangzhou Air Show in 1996. The latter was worrying about the selection of a new generation of domestic frigates at the time, and happened to see the turbojet that Chang Haonan and the others brought to the exhibition. 14, it is hoped that the aviation industry system can develop a light marine gas turbine with a sufficiently high localization rate on its basis.
This is the QC130 that Yan Zhongcheng took the lead in later.
However, because Chang Haonan was not involved in the aeroderivative combustion project, the two never met directly again after that.
It has only been three years, but Lin Qing looks like she has aged ten years. It is obvious that she is under a lot of work pressure.
Chang Haonan turned around and shook hands with the other party.
"Today, you have taken out all the housekeeping things..."
As he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked to Chang Haonan's side.
Of course what he was talking about was also about the third-generation domestically produced aircraft.
The Army has a new main battle tank, the Air Force has a new fighter jet, and the Navy...
The Navy has received a new batch of amphibious infantry fighting vehicles.
We all have a bright future.
“It’s not considered a housekeeping thing...”
Chang Haonan smiled and shook his head:
“They were all old projects two or three years ago. We still can’t throw away our wealth casually...”
These words are really not his Versailles.
Because the improved J-11B and the new J-10, which can be said to be completely reborn, are progressing smoothly, intensive testing will begin soon.
Actually, Chang Haonan is looking forward to it very much.
The somewhat sudden public appearance of the J-10 will probably make everyone think that the Air Force will soon have, or even equip, this model.
Especially those foreign institutions that do open source intelligence analysis.
And when they analyze the J-10 in its original form...
It is estimated that the improved version will be unveiled.
I don’t know how explosive their mentality will be at that time.
But Lin Qing was speechless——
Do you think this is human language?
In terms of naval equipment, the "cutting-edge" warship is still the 052 that was put into service in 1994...
As a result, according to the aviation industry system, the one two or three years ago is already an old project?
Be a human being!
So I had to talk to him:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Chang, I heard that you took over a big project from the Hudong Factory?"
This sudden change of topic made Chang Haonan stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the other party was talking about the Torch Group:
“Yes, the Hudong Factory wants to cooperate with the French to build liquefied natural gas ships. There are some technical details that have been entrusted to us to solve.”
“That’s a coincidence.”
Lin Qing pretended to be surprised and said:
“You still remember us. Is it the new frigate I told you about when we first met?”
Chang Haonan nodded.
How could I forget this?
The famous 054.
And this is the original 054 project that was abandoned due to technical and cost reasons in the previous life.
The kind that uses full combustion power and 3K95 vertical hair (Haike Doyle).
After a little preparation, Lin Qingtu said:
"In June this year, the keel of the first ship has also begun to be laid at the Hudong Factory. I should be stationed at the factory in the second half of the year. When will you go? You can also take the time to take a look at the Hudong side. After all, you were responsible for the research and development of the gas turbine used there."
Chang Haonan stopped and turned his head to look at Lin Qing.
He was originally going to say that he might not be personally responsible for LNG matters.
But then I thought about it, even if I am not personally responsible, the cooperation between Torch Group and Hudong Factory is the first cooperation between an aviation power group and a shipbuilding industry group.
Definitely still going.
So I nodded.
Besides, seeing the boat yourself may not be the main purpose.
I guess there is some cooperation to discuss.
Actually, he was right.
From the first time he saw Chang Haonan, Lin Qing was sure that this young man had extraordinary abilities.
At that time, he even thought about whether to dig into the shipbuilding industry system when the other party graduated.
His idea is also very simple - although Chang Haonan went to Beijing Airlines, no one has ever stipulated that students graduating from Aeronautics and Astronautics University must engage in aviation. When the time comes, the salary will be higher, and then Promising some other benefits, it shouldn't be difficult to get a freshly graduated Ph.D.
As it turns out, his "unusual" estimate was too conservative.
In the first year of his Ph.D., he had already worked as a model chief engineer and the person in charge of a second-level state-owned enterprise next door.
By the time they graduated, they had already become members of the leadership team of the Aerospace Power Group.
How to dig this?
I can only think of ways to work around the edges and engage in project cooperation.
