Chapter 460 The army turns to civilians, and the civilians turn to army
1981, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The small snowflakes that never stopped flying began to cuddle together.
In Qianliang Hutong, Yanjing City, Huang Yongyu and Wang Shixiang, wearing large cotton-padded clothes, walked to House No. 34 carrying two firecrackers.
Although Comrade Xiao Jiang did not celebrate the New Year in Yanjing, people still remember his courtyard house.
"This is the first year that Xiaojiang got this house,"
Huang Yongyu said as he unlocked the door: "No matter what we do, we have to make this house a lively New Year."
"How about we can be friends, and we want to go together,"
Wang Shixiang smiled and said: "Let's do this, put one at the door and another in the yard."
Huang Yongyu nodded: "Let's live together!"
Soon, a string of red firecrackers exploded in front of the Guangliang gate of No. 34 Qianliang Hutong.
With a click, Huang Yongyu raised the Polaroid camera in his hand.
Chi—a pornographic photo slowly appeared.
"Take a photo and send it to Xiaojiang for a look."
Wang Shixiang covered her ears and came over to take a look, and the two of them started pointing and chatting.
"Happy New Year, Uncle Yongyu,"
Suddenly, two young men jumped out not far away: "You also came to Xiaojiang to set off firecrackers?"
Wang Shixiang and Huang Yongyu turned around and saw that it was Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao.
"Hey, why are you two here?"
"We are just like you,"
Chen Peisi raised the firecrackers in her hand: "Let's add some joy to Jiangshan's house."
“Just in time,”
Huang Yongyu waved happily: "Come, let's get together and take a photo, so that the kid from Jiangshan can take a good look."
After saying that, the four smiling faces quickly leaned together.
Huang Yongyu, who was stretched far away by his hand, put it into the camera with a click.
"Come on, let's do a few more poses,
Send a few more photos to that guy, and I’ll just ask him to send me photo paper!”
"Pose?"
When Chen Peisi heard this, she immediately started to comment: "Then you two should take a look."
Therefore, Huang Yongyu and Wang Shixiang followed Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao and started making gestures in a stylish manner.
It’s unclear whether the photo paper was sent or not. Anyway, Huang Yongyu’s little “surplus grain” was finally finished for them.
…
While people across the country are busy celebrating the Spring Festival, some comrades are still following their own schedules.
In February 1981, Coca-Cola was about to open its second bottling plant in Guangzhou.
The business representative of Pepsi-Cola rode a bicycle across the Luohu Bridge and arrived in Shenzhen.
I am going to discuss with some leaders of the special zone about setting up a joint venture factory.
At the same time, Siemens representative Yin Si.
After looking this way from Xiangjiang with a telescope for several days, we also set off in the direction of Yanjing.
…
It was February in Pujiang City. Although there was no snow at all, the temperature was still quite freezing.
Comrade Jiang Shan, who stayed at the Oriental Metropolis Newspaper office and worked overtime, was thinking about the phone call he received early in the morning.
"Military paint?"
Jiang Shan muttered to himself.
Although Rao Bu didn't mention it, Jiang Shan understood.
The American unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that flew head-down had already voluntarily entered the embrace of China in 1971.
The layer of skin on D-21 is probably being held in the hands of ground personnel day and night.
"Military paint?"
While Jiang Shan was talking, he reached out and wrote the word "military" on the note.
In his impression, let alone "military painting", which is a waste of money and brains.
In later generations, if the word "military" is used, it will be out of control.
In 2009, there were widespread rumors that my country’s fourth-generation aircraft was about to enter service.
Director Zhang of the War Ignorance Bureau urgently logged on to CCTV to "officially refute the rumors":
[How can it be so easy? The United States has been developing the F-22 for more than 20 years, but China has no idea of developing a fourth-generation aircraft...
What we want to build is not a fourth-generation aircraft, but an improvement based on the J-10...
Where is the J-20? I don't know.
Where is the H-20? I don’t know either.
Straight -20? Luck -20? As soon as I retire, I don’t know where I am...]
Faced with a series of "I don't know", "How is it possible", "How can it be so easy"...
Just when our own people were feeling cold after hearing this, the people in the United States were really happy.
They quickly ordered the shutdown and dismantling of the F-22 production line, which they could no longer afford.
As a result, two years later, the J-20 announced its first successful flight.
In the list of early demonstrators of the J-20 that was subsequently announced, the name of the Bureau suddenly appeared, making him suddenly famous.
Whatever he said after that, everyone at home and abroad said "I understand."
As for what you understand?
Bureau Zuo himself said, “I really don’t know.”
Different from the "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" here, the story told by the retreating general in Wanwan sounds much more exciting.
According to the information they received, mainland industry would not say anything until it had a thorough understanding of the situation.
Once you get to the bottom of it, you’ll find explosive products frequently.
Previously, an aircraft carrier arresting cable was successfully developed in one second.
Later, it was used for civilian express delivery and then used for military delivery.
My neck was stuck by the West and I felt it was difficult to breathe. After I checked it out, I realized that my sweater was on backwards.
Take the aircraft carrier arresting cable as an example. We all know that without it, it would be impossible for aircraft carrier-based aircraft to land on the aircraft carrier.
But when this thing first started, the West refused to sell it even to death.
He also threatened that this single technology would be enough to strand our aircraft carrier.
To put it bluntly, they just managed to open a $10 million lion's mouth.
The price, which left no room for negotiation, forced the Navy to open tenders.
As a result, Juli Group, a domestic wire rope company, was stunned when it saw the parameters:
Isn't this the type of steel cable that the factory often exports?
Since the country needs it and there happens to be some ready-made ones in the warehouse, then hurry up and hand them over!
It turned out that an American airline had secretly approached this company to request customized airport buffer ropes.
This kind of steel cable is actually the arresting cable used on aircraft carriers.
The last quote I asked was only US$300,000 per piece.
It was great when the news broke.
Therefore, the news that our country successfully developed a blocking cable was shown on the TV station in a matter of seconds.
Also on the way is SF Express’s Scorpion drone project.
As early as 2012, SF Express initiated a project to use drones to deliver express delivery across the country.
So, a nationwide bidding process began.
This drone is required to be able to travel long distances and carry at least one ton of cargo...
After seeing these requirements, Tengdun Company felt that it should be able to win if it bites the bullet.
Thirteen months later, the "Double-tailed Scorpion UAV Wing" that met all Party A's requirements was successfully developed and launched.
Therefore, SF Express expressed great satisfaction and happily announced on Weibo: SF Express’s nationwide drone delivery plan is just around the corner.
When the relevant personnel saw the results, they were instantly stunned.
[The wingspan is 20 meters long, the fuselage is 10 meters long, the maximum range is 35 hours, and it can fly up to 10,000 meters high...]
What kind of civilian drone is this? The parameters are actually higher than those in military service.
I turned around and found SF Express and had a friendly discussion.
"Everyone is delivering express delivery anyway, so why not let us play for a few years..."
As a result, SF Express’s “National Drone Delivery” project has been discontinued for the time being.
Many netizens comforted SF Express afterwards: The project originally developed just to kill JD.com was instead used to kill Tokyo.
Although these "civilian-to-military" projects with skewed science and technology trees sound promising, they are not far-fetched.
Another company, Guangqi Group, which entered the palace directly without being drafted, is really awesome.
I mentioned the J-20 earlier, and this is the "paint" manufacturer responsible for the military coating of the J-20.
The predecessor of Guangqi Group, Longsheng Group, was originally an auto parts and body painting company.
Because the spray paint produced can help cars avoid radar speed detectors, they were targeted by relevant authorities.
Later, this black technology was cited in the J-20's stealth technology...
Faced with this legendary story, each speaker is happy and the listener is even more happy.
In fact, it’s like a TV interview from the Bureau of War Ignorance - talk about 37 times and listen to 28 minutes.
It's okay to be a happy person, but you can't take it too seriously.
However, although some events have been magically changed, the factual basis still exists.
Although Guisheng Group, a military industrial enterprise responsible for manufacturing aircraft carrier arresting ropes, did not achieve the legendary success of research and development in one second.
But the research and development time of only 4 months indeed exceeds that of all foreign companies of the same level.
It solves the problem of blocking cables that has always been a problem in my country's blockade technology.
Kuang-Chi Technology, this super bull stock rose from 7 yuan to 120 yuan in just two months in 2015.
It is indeed the coating manufacturer that provides stealth technology for the J-20, H-20, Wing Loong, aircraft carrier-based aircraft, Hongdu missiles...
This metamaterials manufacturer that switches from civilians to military, using military and civilian technologies, and smoothly switches back and forth, has been included in the sanctions list by the United States.
But this is not a problem at all for Kuang-Chi Technology, which has its own one-stop production of the metamaterial industry chain.
But before the advent of Kuang-Chi technology, my country's stealth coating was...
But even then, it was better than the current military coating industry, which has suspended R&D funding.
"The army will be converted into civilians? The civilians will be converted into military?"
Comrade Jiang Shan, who was mumbling something, seemed to have been in the office all day.
But I have never done a single job.
All I am thinking about is my private life...
…
Towards evening, a black car from Pujiang City slowly drove out of the Kailin Paint Factory.
Xu Muchun leaned on the back seat and pinched the bridge of his nose.
A chemical trade union was held, which made his head spin.
"Xu Bureau,"
Section Chief Han in the passenger seat looked at the time:
"How about we not go back to the bureau and just send you back to rest first."
"Have you collected the information that the two factories gave you just now?"
Xu Muchun simply ignored his subordinate's suggestion: "Since they are in urgent need, they should sort out the information first..."
Suddenly, Xu Muchun stopped talking, patted Section Chief Han and pointed toward the car window:
"Look at the guy on the bike, is he Jiangshan?"
"Huh? It's really him,"
Before Xu Muchun could speak, Section Chief Han rolled down the car window: "Jiangshan, this is Jiangshan."
With a squeaking sound, Jiang Shan's feet held on.
"Chief Han,"
He tilted his head and looked inside again, and Xu Muchun was smiling at himself:
"Xu Ju, why are you here? You don't even have a rest on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"
Xu Muchun did not answer this sentence. He only looked at the two small flower quilts in the back seat of the Jiangshan car and said curiously:
"What's that you're hauling? A bedroll?"
"Oh," Jiang Shan smiled:
"My second sister-in-law just gave birth to a baby. My mother was afraid that the baby would be frozen, so she asked me to bring two more small quilts to send over."
"Jiang He is a father?"
Director Xu knows everything about the three Jiang brothers:
"Let's go, get in my car, and I'll go there with you to take a look."
"You...you want to go there?"
"Why can't I go there..."
Judging from Xu Muchun's experience, as long as he stays with Jiang Shan, his mood will be the same.
It just so happened that I had a headache right now, so it would be a good idea to go to the hospital together and have a look: "Hurry up and get in the car."
"Okay," Jiang Shan pulled over and said, "You have the final say."
…
"Happy New Year, Xu Ju!"
On the first day of the new year, when we meet and wish each other a happy new year, we get in the car and say happy new year.
"How is it?" Xu Muchun looked at Jiang Shan's face full of joy: "What have you been busy with recently?"
I thought Jiang Shan would talk about Xu Muchun from a rural primary school, but unexpectedly I heard him say.
"I'm currently studying military painting." After a day of preparation at the newspaper office, I looked quite excited.
"Military paint?" Xu Muchun thought it couldn't be that coincidental: "Okay, why did you think of studying it?"
"A few years ago, I visited several military camps in Nanjing."
"And then you became interested in it?"
"I received another call this morning,"
Jiang Shan didn't say anything to anyone: "We just talked about this while chatting."
"Yeah," Xu Muchun said, "Then what did you finally research?"
"Actually, in the early years, our country's fighter planes were not painted," Jiang Shan said:
"Not only us, but also the Soviet fighter planes look like silver."
"Silver glitter?"
"It's just metal aluminum skin without any coating."
"It's really shining like silver."
"Speaking of which, the earliest fighter aircraft coatings that appeared in our country," Jiang Shan said, "were brought over by the Flying Tigers."
"Flying Tigers?" Xu Muchun thought for a while: "The one Chennault is sitting on?"
"Yes, that's the plane..."
Jiang Shan, who was holding two small flower quilts, was talking and gesticulating.
At this moment, he had no idea that Xu Muchun had also received the task of helping the paint factory to improve its economic efficiency.
"The painting used on aircraft was originally just to distinguish enemy and friendly military aircraft,"
Jiang Shan pointed to the pattern on the little flower quilt: "Don't hit me, you'll beat me down."
"Can such a thing happen?" Section Chief Han in the front row also turned his head at this moment.
"This kind of thing happened too often during the First World War,"
Jiang Shandao: "Even in World War II, it was a common occurrence."
"No wonder the Flying Tigers' planes are so colorfully painted." Section Chief Han thought about it.
"The Flying Tigers' planes are not just for distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy,"
Jiang Shan knows that there is still something to pay attention to:
"In their view, since little Japan is afraid of sharks, they might as well spray one on the fuselage to add some murderous aura to their fighter planes."
"So that's it," Section Chief Han imagined:
"Don't tell me, if they ascend to the sky together, it will look like that."
"Xiaojiang,"
Xu Muchun looked at Jiangshan:
"I just got a warship promotion advertisement from the Sixth Aircraft Department.
Since you are so interested in these things, come and see them with me."
When Jiang Shan heard this, he was obviously shocked.
Unexpectedly, the arms advertisement that has always existed in legend actually actually exists.
