Zhang Wenhao took the initiative to research and develop military aircraft engines. This was definitely a great thing for Director Liu. Every time he received instructions from his leader, he felt like he was going out to negotiate a big deal on behalf of the company.
Whether the contract can be signed or not depends almost entirely on negotiating with Zhang Wenhao himself. Fortunately, Zhang Wenhao has been very helpful every time, and important matters have never been missed. This time, Director Liu was even more happy and grateful.
The Taihang production line is of great significance to the country. It stands to reason that this kind of organization is almost entirely supported by government funding and has always been the core of the country's military industry. It is also a very confidential department. However, Director Liu is not worried about Zhang Wenhao's request at all.
Will be rejected by superiors, because once Dongchen wants to get involved in this field, it will inevitably come up with products that are countless times better than Taihang. By that time, Pratt & Whitney in the United States will be in vain, let alone Taihang, so Taihang will
Give the whole thing to Zhang Wenhao, and then let him be responsible for producing top-notch aircraft engines for the military. This deal is very cost-effective.
Immediately, Director Liu said: "By the way, Wen Hao, can you give me an approximate cycle? How long will the entire research and development take? How long will it take for the samples to actually come off the production line and be submitted to the military for testing?"
Zhang Wenhao thought for a moment and said: "It will take at least a few months. The most important thing is that the Taihang production line needs to be moved. After all the moves are moved to Zhonghai, Dongchen will have to refit the old production line."
Director Liu nodded and said: "This speed is already very fast! I believe the senior leaders will be very happy with this news."
Immediately, Officer Liu said again: "In addition to the instructions given to me this time, the senior leaders also asked me to convey a sentence, you have done a very good job in the iron ore matter, which is equivalent to helping the country's entire industrial system to establish a strong
The cost guarantee is of great significance.”
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "Please help me convey my thanks to the leaders for their praise."
Officer Liu patted Zhang Wenhao on the shoulder and said: "You are now the backbone of our domestic economy, and the senior leaders don't want to put any pressure on you, so although they really want to meet you, considering your current situation, the senior leaders
I am still happy to let you develop on your own without any interference in your development route."
Zhang Wenhao nodded. This is what he wants. He will never touch politics, let alone political forbidden areas. He will do his best to do his own thing within the framework of domestic laws and regulations, and he will do his best to do his own thing well.
This is Zhang Wenhao's biggest wish. If it adds too much political pressure to himself, I'm afraid he would be willing to retire early to enjoy life.
Research and development of military engines is not a problem for Zhang Wenhao. As long as the hardware meets the standards, it can be produced. Zhang Wenhao was not prepared to get involved in this field too early for fear that what he did would bring more negative effects on the international situation.
In peacetime, if weapons bring additional pressure, it may not be a good thing. However, the most important thing now is that other developed countries have begun to work hard to develop higher-end products. If the East
If Chen doesn't take action, the country's air force strength will fall behind due to the growth of others. In this case, Dongchen can no longer stand idly by.
There are so many private industries, and only industrial manufacturing can reach such a high level, which can directly affect the strength of a country and the situation among countries around the world. For Dongchen, although Dongchen Aviation is not the most profitable subsidiary, it is
They are definitely the most significant companies. Although Apple in the United States and Samsung in South Korea are extremely profitable, their influence on the overall situation is far inferior to companies like Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. If Dongchen Aviation starts to get involved,
With the design and production of military engines, Dongchen Aviation's influence on the overall situation will far exceed that of other military industrial enterprises.
However, Zhang Wenhao himself also has his own concerns. The military industry is of great significance. No matter which country he is in, it will inevitably be strictly controlled by the state. If Dongchen really transforms into a military industry enterprise, then the senior leaders will not give Zhang Wenhao the status he has now.
degree of freedom, when the time comes, I am afraid that I will become a cocoon. Thinking of this, Zhang Wenhao suddenly came up with an idea in his mind, which is to imitate Boeing's model and completely divide Dongchen Airlines into two independent operations, with the middle
It has nothing to do with the companies involved. One section is the current Dongchen Aviation Industry, which faces the global market and is a civil engine manufacturer without being involved in any political aspects. The other section is to transform Shen Fa's production line after it arrives.
It has become a completely closed sector. This sector only serves the country, and all products produced are also under the control of the state. If in the future this enterprise is too important in the eyes of senior officials and supervision must be strengthened, then I will simply
This entire section was given up, and Zhang Wenhao had no regrets in giving up. As long as it would not affect the normal operation of Dongchen in other areas, Zhang Wenhao had no objections and was protecting himself. This was because Zhang Wenhao had not entered the military industry in a real sense.
field, I have already set a principle for myself.
One enterprise, multiple sectors of development, and two nature divisions are a very practical route for Dongchen's next step. An enterprise will naturally continue to proceed from the perspective of Dongchen Group, and all subordinate industries will belong to it.
In the group, serving the group, and developing multiple sectors, Zhang Wenhao is now continuously establishing sub-groups, such as Dongchen Pharmaceutical, Dongchen Automobile, Dongchen Aviation, and Dongchen Electronics. The two natures are divided from
At the root, we distinguish all the sections we own. Some sections are our own, and some sections, although they are established and grown by ourselves, are fundamentally owned by the country.
If we ensure this idea and route and strictly implement it, Dongchen will not be unable to directly participate in military manufacturing in the future. It only needs to integrate all enterprises involved in military industry under the same nature. Once it notices that the wind direction has changed,
He immediately withdrew without hesitation and handed everything over to the state.
After thinking about this principle, Zhang Wenhao suddenly thought of a plan that he had already hatched but didn't know if it could be realized. If he really officially got involved in the research and development and production of military industry, maybe his plan would be realized soon.
Therefore, Zhang Wenhao looked at Officer Liu and asked, "Is the military interested in higher-end radar equipment?"
Officer Liu was just like Zhang Wenhao, lowering his head to figure out his own thoughts. When he suddenly heard Zhang Wenhao say such a sentence, he almost jumped out of fright.
Radar equipment?! Oh my God, how could Zhang Wenhao be so proactive and ask about such a critical field?
Modern fighter jets have three most important parts: the power part, the firepower part, and the avionics part. The first two are very easy to understand. As for the avionics part, the main thing is the radar. There are super powerful radars, even for so-called stealth aircraft.
It will be meaningless. With super powerful radar, both sides can be the first to discover the enemy and launch an attack during an air battle. This is definitely an area of great strategic significance. Why has China spared no effort in developing early warning aircraft? The reason is that early warning aircraft can provide
Stronger radar assistance, to put it bluntly, means having a stronger visual range, broader and more detailed control of the battlefield, all of which are based on radar.
Officer Liu asked with a look of disbelief: "Dongchen has enough radar technology?"
Zhang Wenhao said: "This can be developed. Based on our current strength in the electronic field, many of our strengths can be transplanted. We can develop radars with stronger performance and fire control systems with more powerful processing capabilities.
You must also know about Chen's accomplishments in processors."
Officer Liu said excitedly: "If possible, of course it would be a great thing! If you have any needs, just ask. I think the senior management will be willing to disclose all the parameters and technical secrets of the existing radar to Dongchen.
.”
"No need." Zhang Wenhao said: "Dongchen will not develop the radar on the basis of others. It is enough for us to develop the radar ourselves. I just want to say hello to you. When the time comes, the radar will start together with the engine.
I believe it will significantly improve the combat effectiveness of the domestic air force."
Director Liu said happily: "Wen Hao, you are just like the Doraemon in Japanese cartoons! You really get what you want!"
Zhang Wenhao secretly smiled in his heart. He mastered too much military technology. Engines and radars were only a small part. In addition, rocket thrusters and advanced guidance technologies were nothing to Dongchen. Even, with
Dongchen's current manufacturing capabilities mean that even if it builds its own satellites and launch vehicles, it won't be a problem. In fact, Zhang Wenhao himself has been coveting satellites for a long time, and the plan he started to brew earlier is related to satellites.
In China, it is basically a dream for ordinary companies to launch their own satellites. Let alone building their own launch vehicles, it is very difficult to even build their own satellites. The demand for satellites in general civilian fields, such as communications, television broadcasting and other fields, requires
The country has strict approval procedures. Basically, only state-owned enterprises are eligible to apply for civil enterprises. After applying, they still need to purchase satellites or entrust specialized enterprises and institutions to design and produce them. Once the satellites are available, it still costs expensive funds to be carried by the state.
Rocket Enterprises to achieve launch.
General satellite TV only has the financial resources to rent a band from the launched communication satellites. Communication companies across the country do not have their own communication satellites. All satellite support must rely on satellite communication groups. It can be said that renting a band is enough.
It is extremely cumbersome. If you want to launch a satellite by yourself, it is simply as difficult as climbing into the sky, and a satellite is almost meaningless to Zhang Wenhao.
Zhang Wenhao's desire for satellites is not because he is committed to the communications industry. This industry does not require high-end technology at all. For Zhang Wenhao, this industry does not pose any challenges. In addition, there are many people who operate this industry.
As a giant state-owned enterprise, it is difficult for him to step in and get a share of the pie. The satellite Zhang Wenhao wants is a positioning satellite, which is of great significance to Dongchen's future development.
In today's positioning systems, there are many mainstream satellite positioning systems, such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and the domestic Beidou system. Each system is supported by its own satellite matrix. GPS is supported by 24 satellites, and GLONASS is supported by 24 satellites.
Nass also has 24 satellites, and there are even more satellites as backup. Beidou has more than 35 satellites.
However, in Zhang Wenhao's eyes, any satellite positioning system in the world has many shortcomings. The first is the problem of signal coverage, the second is the problem of positioning accuracy, and third, there is no truly three-dimensional global positioning system.
The so-called truly three-dimensional global positioning system is a very high-end technology in the future field. It will densely segment the entire earth surface in a flat manner with an accuracy within square centimeters. The so-called dense segmentation means that,
The entire global surface will be composed of horizontal lines with a density less than 1 cm and vertical lines with a density less than 1 cm, which have similar meanings to longitude and latitude. However, due to such dense division, the distance from each point to the adjacent point,
They are all within one centimeter, and the positioning accuracy is also within one centimeter.
And this is just plane cutting.
The biggest problem with plane cutting is that everything is based on the surface of the earth. If you use GPS when you are standing at an altitude of one thousand meters, the GPS will report the altitude based on the altitude of the ground under your feet. But if you are at an altitude of one thousand meters, the GPS will report the altitude.
If you use a hot air balloon to rise to an altitude of two thousand meters above sea level, the positioning system will not be able to distinguish this altitude because it can only perform plane cutting and cannot achieve three-dimensional cutting.
The technology that Zhang Wenhao has coveted for a long time is three-dimensional cutting technology, which can accurately segment the entire three-dimensional space from the surface of the world to an altitude of 30,000 meters with a density of less than one centimeter. This is equivalent to plane segmentation based on
Every time it rises one centimeter, it must be cut again. From an advanced perspective, no one believes that this technology can be realized, because in their eyes, the transmission of satellite signals is point-to-point, and satellite signals can be transmitted from orbit to the ground.
, but this transmission process cannot be cut.
If Zhang Wenhao can build an extremely advanced three-dimensional navigation system, it can not only be used on Dongchen cars, but most importantly, it can be used on future Dongchen aircraft. If such a system is used, the aircraft will be able to fly anywhere.
For a location and altitude, you can determine your most accurate location and altitude through the navigation system.
In this way, it will not only make the flight route of the aircraft more accurate and improve the efficiency of the air route, but most importantly, it can further realize the unmanned driving of the aircraft and the entire unmanned takeoff and landing, even in the case of complete lack of visibility.
, the aircraft can also achieve precise takeoff and landing, and this accuracy is far higher than the pilot's ability.
By that time, drivers of Dongchen cars will be able to obtain navigation services with an accuracy of one centimeter. If an aircraft is equipped with a Dongchen navigation module, it will be able to carry out extremely accurate navigation in any airspace below 30,000 meters above sea level in the world.
To fly blindly, you only need to enter the accurate route coordinates, and the aircraft will fly the entire route exactly, without any errors in plane orientation or vertical height. It can accurately find the runway and master the runway.
The actual altitude, even if it is blocked by thick fog, the aircraft does not need any ground guidance. It can accurately sense every centimeter of descent. It can follow the prefabricated route and aim at the center of the runway in the thick fog, and can approach the runway when approaching.
When on the runway, it can achieve a precise descent that no one can achieve, and it can be accurately sensed one millimeter before touching the ground. With the support of this system, civil aviation will no longer be affected by any visibility.
If only Dongchen's aircraft are equipped with this system, then there will be an obvious polarization in civil aviation in the future. For example, if the visibility at New York Airport drops to less than 100 meters on a certain day, highways will inevitably be closed.
Under the sight of the road, all inbound and outbound flights, whether they are Boeing planes, Airbus planes or even regional passenger planes, will be suspended. Departing flights from New York Airport will be delayed indefinitely and will not be released until the visibility meets the standards.
Those planes that are preparing to go to New York will also be delayed indefinitely. Those planes that are already on the way or are about to approach New York will have to choose other alternate airports for backup. However, in this case, there is only one kind of aircraft.
The aircraft that can take off and land without being affected by visual distance are Dongchen's aircraft.
All the other planes were lying in place, waiting for God to clear the fog. A large number of passengers were stranded. Only the Dongchen flight took off and landed as usual without being affected. This is definitely a problem for the airline.
There is a huge gap. If it also wants to use this system, no problem, just pay for it.
Once the positioning system forms global coverage, its stable satellite positioning signals can support unlimited terminal devices. After all, satellites do not need to directly provide services to terminal devices. They are only responsible for transmitting signals. Whoever owns the terminal can read it.
Just like a satellite TV signal, whoever buys a pot cover can receive it.
However, Zhang Wenhao will never make this system an open system. He will encrypt the signals and even encrypt the terminal hardware to ensure that no one can use Dongchen's positioning system without approval.
, and also ensures that no single manufacturer can produce Dongchen’s positioning terminal equipment.
By that time, Dongchen Positioning's terminals will be sold in two different sections. One is a ground flat terminal, which can be used for vehicles or people. However, it will not provide any actual altitude support. All altitude data will be based on
Based on the ground altitude, this kind of terminal will serve as the basic public positioning service. The module can be implanted into Dongchen automobiles and Dongchen's electronic equipment terminals. Another section is the three-dimensional terminal used for flight. This kind of terminal
The significance is too great.
Civil aviation is one aspect, and the military is also another aspect. There are generally only two methods for measuring aircraft altitude in the world. One is that the aircraft itself uses the pitot tube and static pressure hole to actually measure the altitude at that time. This is more accurate and has a smaller error.
Small, but the error within one centimeter is still a thousand miles away. In addition, ground radar testing is used, using the oldest radar to calculate the altitude and speed of the aircraft through radar reflection waves. The error is extremely large.
We can't even guarantee ten meters.
And all this, only Dongchen can do. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
