The meeting in the room lasted for more than two hours. Based on the final preliminary conclusion, the leadership group made a decision to decrypt the project and decided that the official media would release relevant reports on the successful test run of the Qilian engine on the same day.

The consideration for doing this is mainly based on the first idea proposed by the man in Zhongshan, which is the idea of ​​the so-called Silk Road in the Air.

To commercially deploy Qilian engines, it is necessary to ensure its influence worldwide. Only when everyone recognizes its advantages can this engine be sold, and only if it is truly sold can it be established to establish its own global air transportation system become a reality.

So, they must act as soon as possible.

Now that the Qilian engine has completed the test run, the project has entered the final stage, the confidentiality demand has dropped to a controllable level. When it is announced at this time, the benefits that can be obtained are far greater than the risk of leakage.

So that night, the whole world saw reports about the successful test run of Qilian engines.

"The domestically produced large thrust engine was successfully tested, with a peak thrust of 121 tons, code-named Qilian"

......

Ye Zhou sat in his office, and the screen in front of him showed reports about Qilian engines. He did not read the content of the interactive comments, but he didn't have to think about it and knew what kind of boiling scene was there.

Because he used dozens of apps on his mobile phone to push this message to him hundreds of times, and even the takeaway app pushed twice promotional promotions related to Qilian engines.

No one would not understand the significance behind this cross-age large-thrust engine. Even if we couldn't understand the slightly complicated data disclosed in it at first, when various analyses began to emerge, everyone realized that those numbers were definitely not just simple numbers.

Ye Zhou turned his gaze away from the screen, and then said to Chen Hao as if he suddenly remembered something:

"I just answered a phone call, and the person above called me and talked about some of them. But I heard what he meant, why did I feel that the subsequent testing and optimization work of the sedan project were not planned to let me continue to be responsible? Why do I think my work has been completed?"

Chen Hao smiled and replied:

"You are quite keen, can you tell it?"

"...I'm not the first day I joined the project team. Okay, what's the plan behind it? Let's talk about it in detail."

Chen Hao coughed, first glanced at Ye Zhou, and then asked tentatively:

"What do you plan to do if I say there are no plans for updates recently?"

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion:

"What's the meaning?"

"...You have been forced to take a vacation. For two months, I plan to let you stay in Hailan, or if you have something else to go, you can also ask me and let us make arrangements."

"... Have they discussed this with you? Why didn't I notify you in advance?"

"If you tell you in advance, can you agree? Anyway, the decision has been made, you won't have to use your superior command in such matters, right? Besides, you have worked so hard during this period. Have a good rest and come back and continue doing it."

Ye Zhou sighed helplessly. He knew in his heart that the decision made by the organization to let him rest was right. But now he is like a machine running at full speed. It is really not that simple to stop.

After a moment of silence, he asked:

"This decision must have been voted on, right? Didn't you participate?"

"I voted in favor."

Chen Hao replied seriously.

".........Is he really my good brother? Forget it, just take a break. But two weeks will be enough. If you really have two months off, the daylily will be cold."

"no problem!"

Chen Hao nodded immediately and agreed.

“…………You don’t have to report to the above?”

"I guessed that you agreed to take a break for at most two weeks. I told you that two months were deliberately deceiving you."

"Okay, you guys are really good. I'm not as strong as my body can't stand it. If it does, I'll say it myself."

Hearing this, Chen Hao shook his head firmly and replied:

"No, you won't say it, and you won't even know that your body has reached its limit. How do you think so many of us comrades who fall to work come from? We have taught too many lessons in this regard. We can't make any more mistakes in both you and others."

"Okay, okay... I've been convinced by you. However, during the vacation, I asked to keep in touch with the project team, especially if the Qilian engine is to start commercialization in the near future, all details must be notified to me."

"Commercialization? So fast? Where did you get the news?"

Chen Hao asked in confusion.

"Isn't this obvious? If it weren't for commercialization, how could the superiors be so anxious to create momentum for Qilian? What they want to do is to expand Qilian's influence as soon as possible, realize the domestic replacement of large aircraft dealers as soon as possible, and then manufacture purely domestic large aircraft, and then use these large aircraft to replace the passenger planes currently in service in domestic airlines."

"According to my estimate, this action will be completely done within a few years. By then, the whole world will become different."

Ye Zhou said, while sighing and recalling a certain ending of the Dragon Heart in his mind. In that ending, China established the global air Silk Road, and this huge plan also began with the commercial use of a large thrust engine.

Now, members of the Huashi Project Leading Group have obviously made a decision, and even took this first step with super-efficiency that he did not expect.

It seems that the completion of this Silk Road in the air will probably be a little earlier than he expected.

"What will happen specifically? You have a preliminary judgment now?"

Guyen

Chen Hao looked at Ye Zhou with an incredible look. Of course, he could understand the significance of commercial use of the engine, but he really didn't know what Ye Zhou meant by "the world will become different".

When Ye Zhou heard Chen Hao’s question, he did not answer immediately, but pondered for a while before asking:

"I'll ask you, what's the biggest difference between marine and air transport, do you know?"

"Carry capacity, cost and timeliness. Marine transportation has large capacity and low cost, but poor timeliness, and air transportation is the opposite."

Ye Zhou nodded and continued:

"Do you know, the unit transportation cost of marine transportation is probably how many times the air transportation cost?"

Chen Hao frowned and replied:

"I did understand this before. According to my memory, the cost of ocean transportation is about 13 to 15 times the cost of air transportation. You mean, we will make air transportation costs lower than ocean transportation costs? Is this unlikely?"

Ye Zhou glanced at Chen Hao with praise. His ability to answer the number 13 times shows that he does have some understanding of the international freight industry.

However, this understanding is actually far behind.

After pausing for a moment, he answered:

"The answer you said is correct, but it is not entirely correct, because that was the data from three years ago. Now, due to the influence of certain factors, the cost of sea freight has risen to only 3-5 times the cost of air freight. There is only one reason---Don't get me wrong, this factor is just a superficial reason. The real reason is the serious intensification of global import and export imbalance, or the rapid gathering of production and manufacturing centers."

"You should know that under the current circumstances, nearly half of all kinds of goods in the world have to be sent from some manufacturing centers, and the capacity these manufacturing centers can carry is limited."

"Their ports cannot be expanded immediately, their container numbers cannot be increased immediately, and their freighters cannot be launched immediately."

"This is the key to the problem. The mismatch between production capacity and freight capacity has caused a crazy increase in sea freight prices and costs."

"And this mismatch will never happen only now, nor is it because of the factor I'm talking about."

"In the future, as our country's productivity further increases, the aggregation effect of production and manufacturing centers will be further strengthened. By that time, we will face serious capacity shortages."

“There are many solutions to this problem, including building larger ports, building more freighters, etc. These are traditional solutions.”

"However, there is a problem with such a solution, that is, the construction cycle is too long and the profit speed is slow."

"So, we have always tried to replace sea freight with air freight. Because air freight is more flexible and requires fewer basic conditions - a country may not have a suitable port, but it will never be impossible to find a space where aircraft can land."

"In the past, this plan was far away from us. But now, the Qilian engine has come out, and this plan has suddenly become a reality."

"Qilian engines bring higher thrust and higher capacity. A specially designed 4-ship freight aircraft can carry 3,000 tons of cargo with the support of the thrust-to-weight ratio of Qilian 11.2. What is this? This means that the unit cost of air freight will be reduced to less than twice the cost of sea freight in a very short time. Considering the circulation benefits generated by timeliness, the overall profit of air freight will even far exceed that of sea freight."

"At that time, the advantages of our air transport system will expand like a snowball, and traditional sea transport will slowly decline, and those countries that hold economic authority through sea transport will all be severely impacted."

"At that time, what we will master is far more than just transportation routes."

"Can you understand that?"

"That's what I said, the world will become different."

After listening to Ye Zhou's words, Chen Hao breathed a deep breath.

He could fully imagine the future picture depicted by Ye Zhou, and he could also imagine the scene where China's cargo planes were spread all over the world on one day.

That scene is spectacular--but, can it be realized?

This goal seems to be a bit too far for him and for this country.

Thinking of this, he spoke:

"I can understand what you said, but I'm really a little...unable to believe it."

"This plan is too grand and the strategic vision required is too advanced. Even if you can think of it, it may be difficult to pass it internally."

Ye Zhou smiled and shook his head, intending to refute Chen Hao, but suddenly, a message was received on both of them at the same time.

The content of the information is very simple, it is just a meeting notice.

However, the content of this meeting notice made Chen Hao stunned.

"Aerial Silk Road Project Closed-door Discussion."

He raised his head and looked at Ye Zhou with incredible eyes, but the latter just smiled slightly and said:

"You see, at any time, I am confident in our strategic vision."

"Don't use the average of this world, especially don't use the average of the West to speculate on our own strategic vision."

"Because, their eyes will only be in front of them, even if they are in the distance, their ultimate goal is only profit."

"But we are different."

"Our nation has survived for 5,000 years. Since the establishment of the first country, our goal has been more than just interests."
Chapter completed!
