When Qin Ming saw that few people wanted to speak, he couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, so he frowned and said, "Chief, and Mr. Yang, let me just say it straight, our ingredients are not clean."
Mr. Qin narrowed his eyes, Yang Xiaotao let out a long sigh of relief, and his thoughts were indeed true.
Among the people who can be sent out for training by the country, which family background is a poor or lower-middle peasant?
To put it bluntly, even if you are talented, if you come from a poor and lower-middle peasant family, the biggest problem is just coming back from abroad.
What's more, for something as strictly confidential as aircraft manufacturing, it's even more impossible to use them.
"If the two chiefs are here, they must have known about our processing plant for a long time. They must know everything about it in the past."
At this time, Wang Xudong's deep voice sounded, as if there were unspeakable bitterness and tears.
"Before liberation, we were all children studying abroad."
"After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, we worked here. At that time, we mainly imitated the sabers of the United States, but later..."
At this point, the pain in Wang Xushan's eyes became even more intense, "We also want to do our part and do something for this country!"
Wang Li patted Wang Xushan on the shoulder and comforted his old friend, "Later on, people in our factory were constantly transferred or put into work."
"As time goes by, we will be the only ones left."
"Later, the factory director left and the secretary left. I had no choice but to shoulder this heavy burden."
"But we are pretty good, no one bothers us, and we can support the family by doing some small jobs. But some, some..."
Tears flowed from Wang Li's cloudy eyes, "I somewhat failed to live up to the expectations of the people of the country."
"I'm sorry for being so passionate!"
Several other people also had the same expression, which made Yang Xiaotao feel sad.
Mr. Qin on the side also took a deep breath and said nothing.
But in my heart, I no longer had the previous vigilance.
Yang Xiaotao took out the cigarette case from his pocket and smoked one, then handed the rest to Wang Xushan who was standing aside.
Immediately, the group of people gathered in a circle, the match was lit, and the smoke rose in the room, covering their cheeks.
As for the composition of several people, since Mr. Chen has recommended it, there is nothing for him to hesitate about.
Just use your talents.
Besides, at this age, they are still here holding on to their dreams. Yang Xiaotao doesn't believe that they are some treacherous and evil people.
One cannot choose one's origin.
But it’s up to you to decide which way to go.
"The reason why we set up a special team this time is to design an aircraft that can adapt to the engine we made."
Yang Xiaotao changed the topic and then talked about this matter.
"Yang, Mr. Yang, you said that the machinery factory has an engine waiting to be designed for aircraft?"
Wang Xushan carefully pinched the cigarette butt with his index finger and thumb. It seemed that he was also a smoker, but he probably hadn't tasted the smell of tobacco for some days.
"Yes, when we were designing, we designed the jet engine at the same time as the Third Machinery Department. Later, the engines from the Third Machinery Department were adopted by Shengjing Airport. If we didn't want the remaining engines to gather dust in the warehouse, we had to make them ourselves.
.”
As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Qin Ming on the side burst into laughter, "That's what those guys in Shengjing are like."
"Everything is based on the design drawings. It seems that without the alliance's design drawings, we can't work."
As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, Wang Xudong looked over and reminded, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know."
"What the country needs now is to increase its combat power as soon as possible. There is no time for you to develop smoothly."
"Imitation is the fastest and best way. Learn from the foreigners and learn skills to defeat the foreigners. Have you forgotten this?"
After hearing this, Qin Ming muttered in a low voice, "It has been more than 20 years and it has not been done yet. It is a waste of people's property."
Wang Xudong stared angrily after hearing this, and Qin Ming was so frightened that he turned his head away and stopped talking.
But Yang Xiaotao could see that the other people had the same thoughts as Qin Ming.
In fact, Yang Xiaotao also said the same as Qin Ming, the research and development of aircraft should be based on the engine, rather than the engine adapting to the aircraft.
Only good engines can produce better products.
This is what Yang Xiaotao has always believed.
Whether it's a tractor, an armored vehicle, or an airplane.
It's just that the current situation is the same as what Wang Xudong said, time is the only thing missing is time to become stronger.
"Mr. Yang!"
Wang Xushan looked at Yang Xiaotao, "I would like to ask, what does the engine in the machinery factory look like? Do you have the design data?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded. After knowing that Wang Xushan had studied engines, he knew that the other party would ask this question.
Then I briefly talked about the basic data of the HXJ-1 engine.
"This engine is 5,000 millimeters long and more than 800 millimeters in diameter..."
"Divided into intake passage, combustion chamber, afterburner..."
"Preliminary inspection shows that the maximum thrust can reach 8,000 kilograms, and the afterburner thrust is expected to exceed 10,000 kilograms."
Before Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Xushan stood up excitedly.
Not only him, but also several people around him also stood up.
What they heard was that the thrust was eight thousand, or ten thousand with additional power, or so they expected, this...
Is this crazy?
Isn't this a dream?
"Mr. Yang, are you kidding me?"
Wang Xushan said in disbelief, "This, this engine really has a thrust of 8,000 kilograms?"
Qin Ming looked even more disbelieving, "You must know that the alliance's engine is only six or seven thousand. You have an eight thousand. Didn't you lie to us?"
Several other people were also shocked and speechless.
At this time, Mr. Qin said leisurely, "Why, we can only do well if the alliance is powerful?"
Qin Ming waved his hands quickly and closed his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
Mr. Qin looked at the people around him, "But you are right. According to the data released by the alliance, the maximum thrust does not exceed 8,000, and the afterburner thrust does not exceed 10,000."
"Even if we imitate it, it only costs more than 5,000 yuan. It's better to think on the bright side."
"That's why we have this special team to research suitable aircraft, just to make full use of the performance of this engine."
After Mr. Qin finished speaking, everyone put away their doubts, and then heard Mr. Qin say seriously, "This is a secret, do you understand?"
Several people immediately stopped talking and did not dare to ask any more questions.
It's just that the fire in my heart is even stronger, and I can't wait to see this kind of engine right away.
Yang Xiaotao doesn't know the situation in the alliance and is not very sensitive to some data.
Just like the last eight-cylinder diesel engine, when it was first made, he only knew that the power would reach 800 horsepower.
Later, I got a clear understanding after listening to comparisons with others.
Therefore, after the last initial engine inspection, he didn't have much sense for this data.
But now I think about why Wu Zhe was so easy to talk to at that time, and Sheng Jing agreed so readily, maybe this was the reason.
As for whether Mr. Qin used it to suppress these old guys, this is also possible.
After all, this is Mr. Qin.
"No, ah, no, no!"
Wang Xushan waved his hand, then lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then raised his head and stared at Yang Xiaotao, with an unknown brilliance in his eyes.
"Afterburner, afterburner, this is something that didn't exist before, right? That's it, right?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded happily, "Yes, this method of gas pressurization has appeared abroad, and various countries are studying and using it. In future jet engines, afterburning method will be the norm."
"It is with this extra thrust that the engine can reach 10,000 kilograms."
"How to pressurize, how to do it?"
Wang Xudong was like a student eager to learn, looking at Yang Xiaotao with burning eyes.
Yang Xiaotao did not disappoint him, and simply explained what he understood, "This design is actually a press that increases the air pressure, then refuels, ignites, and burns it, using combustion to increase the temperature of the airflow to obtain propulsion.
"
"And for this combustion chamber, we installed three fuel supply nozzle rings..."
After hearing Yang Xiaotao's explanation, Wang Xudong even excitedly gestured with his hands, "Eight thousand, ten thousand!"
"Eight thousand!"
"Ten thousand kilograms of thrust!"
Wang Xushan murmured to himself, then suddenly showed an excited look, turned around and ran into the room inside.
Yang Xiaotao was stunned and didn't know what Wang Xushan was doing. Hu Feng's eyes lit up and he explained, "Old Wang presided over the design of an aircraft a long time ago, but there was no suitable engine at the time. Over the years, he has transformed into researching engines.
This is the reason."
"Plane? He designed it?"
Mr. Qin couldn't sit still anymore. These people really didn't pay attention at the beginning.
But at this moment, he began to change his view.
You must know that during this period, he was recruiting aircraft manufacturing talents across the country.
Until now, all that can be found are either the elite backbones of various aircraft factories, or they have more important projects.
This shows how scarce this type of talent is.
But now, a guy who can design airplanes appears in this almost abandoned factory. How can he not be surprised?
The same is true for Yang Xiaotao. He knows how difficult the aircraft engine is.
He can also imagine how difficult it is to design an airplane.
"You designed an airplane?"
Yang Xiaotao asked again to confirm.
"Yes, when Lao Wang was studying abroad in the United States, his internship company was Wright Company, where he learned the design concepts of aircraft."
"Those of us have also worked in various aircraft factory departments and have our own understanding of aircraft design."
"Having said that, our design concepts are somewhat incompatible with those in China that follow the development of the alliance."
"This is also the reason why we can come together but can't get out."
Hu Feng seemed to be talking to Yang Xiaotao, but also to his own people.
"You talk too much, you talk too much!"
Hu Feng sighed with emotion, and everyone around him reached out and patted his shoulders.
Yang Xiaotao looked at the weathered faces of several people. Their clothes were in tatters, and some people's hands were even covered in plaster, but something could be seen on their faces.
That is persistence.
"Come on, come on!"
At this moment, Wang Xushan ran over quickly with a half-meter-long wooden box in his arms. He was breathing heavily and thinking as he ran. It was obviously very difficult.
"Help me quickly."
Several people rushed forward and placed the wooden box on the middle table.
Yang Xiaotao and Mr. Qin stepped forward. Wang Xushan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said excitedly, "Chief, Mr. Yang, this is an aircraft we designed back then."
“The reference was from the time I studied with the Wright Company in the United States, and I felt that their design concept was in line with the current trend.”
"Compared with the simplicity and mass production promoted by the alliance, their aircraft pay more attention to refinement and modernization..."
"The consequence of this is that the design of the aircraft is more complex, and the requirements for craftsmanship and materials are greater."
"Combining two different development routes, we created an intermediate model that not only retains the simple style of the Alliance, but also takes advantage of the refinement of the United States..."
As Wang Xushan spoke, he opened the box, revealing the oilcloth package inside, and then opened it carefully, revealing items of slightly yellowed paper.
Yang Xiaotao stared at the design drawings inside, and could see that the design was very careful. At least the drawing level was not inferior to Zhang Guanyu's.
"I originally wanted to make a plane and dedicate it to the motherland."
"It's a pity that I was young and frivolous at the time and didn't think much about it. I only found out after making the design drawings that there was no suitable engine."
"However, now that you have this 8,000-thrust engine, our aircraft has become half the size!"
