The air in Los Angeles is fresh in the morning, and the whole city is as brightly colored as if it had been washed by water.
March is the rainy season. It rained all night last night. Thanks to the good drainage facilities in Luo City, there is not much water accumulation in the city. It is already autumn in a blink of an eye. When Wu Liang went out, he hesitated, turned around and went back again.
Added a jacket.
Wu Liang works at the Nyasaland Aviation Research Institute. During the recent period, the Aviation Research Institute has to form a task force to complete the tasks assigned by Rock. To this end, the Aviation Research Institute has mobilized elite soldiers and generals from major research institutes in Nyasaland. Wu Liang
Liang was also among those selected.
The restaurant in the morning was extremely busy. Wu Liang ordered two steamed buns, an egg and a cup of soy milk. The steamed buns were made of fresh beef and green onions, and his mouth was full of oil after one bite. The soy milk was also freshly ground. Wu Liang added a big spoonful of sugar, which was sweet.
Somewhat sharp.
"There are a lot of strangers here today -" Wu Liang found a seat and sat down casually, muttering subconsciously.
"The institute is setting up a task force. Many people are coming from Port Edward, and some are coming from Rhodesia." Wu Liang is also surrounded by Habakak, a senior researcher who works at the Institute of Aeronautics.
"Milner?"
"Yes, Milner."
After Milner was established as a city, the aircraft manufacturing plant and some important research institutes moved to Milner, leaving only the logistics department and some less important research departments in Los Angeles.
"I heard that the Lord is going to develop a helicopter that can take off and land vertically -" an assistant researcher who had just joined the institute was excited.
Wu Liang and Habakak both frowned a little. Helicopters are still highly confidential. According to the "Confidentiality Regulations", helicopter-related information cannot be discussed in the restaurant.
"What does it have to do with you? We newcomers probably don't even have a chance to participate -" Another newcomer lamented that the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics also has seniority rankings. It's not that newcomers like them have no opportunities, but there are too few opportunities.
Of course, this is also related to ability. Truly outstanding people will never lack opportunities wherever they go.
"Gentlemen, can I sit down?" A strange but enthusiastic voice said.
"Please take a seat, there happens to be a seat here -" Habakak was also enthusiastic, and he might become a colleague in the future.
Wu Liang said nothing and silently moved to the side.
"Hello, I'm Yao Yuan from Department 6 of the Power Research Institute -" Yuan Yuan introduced himself enthusiastically after sitting down.
"Hello Yao Yuan, what is the main responsibility of the Sixth Department?" Habakak asked casually, this is not a secret.
"Mainly responsible for aerodynamics. I just joined the Sixth Department the year before last. Before that, I was in the First Department." There were six steamed buns neatly placed on the plate in front of Yao Yuan. The young man had a good appetite.
Yao Yuan picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. The soup overflowed, and the flavors of beef and green onions were fully integrated. After being steamed at high temperature, they worked together to form the most wonderful combination, fully stimulating the taste buds.
Yao Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately took another bite.
Habakak smiled. The steamed buns in the aviation group restaurant were famous far and wide. Many researchers on their shifts would get up early on their days off to report in the cafeteria just for this bite of steamed buns.
"It tastes really good, delicious!" Yao Yuan ate three buns in one go before stopping to take a breath.
"If it's delicious, eat more of it. The lobster in your cafeteria is also pretty good." Habakak has rich experience and has eaten in almost all the cafeterias in the group.
"The lobsters used to be good, but the master chef of the canteen has retired and now he has opened a restaurant in Port Edward. Although the taste has not changed, the price has become a lot more expensive." Yao Yuan squinted his eyes in endless aftertaste and gave a large plate full of steamed buns.
Yao Yuan is infinitely satisfied.
"I'm leaving first -" Wu Liang stood up after finishing the meal, not forgetting to send the plate back.
There is no need to wash the dishes. There are waiters in the restaurant who are dedicated to washing the dishes. The researchers' time is too precious and cannot be wasted on washing the dishes.
Wu Liang was not the first to come to the office. This year, there were two newcomers to the office. They were very diligent. They would come to the office early every day to clean up and boil water for all the researchers, whether making coffee or tea.
Make sure the researchers can drink it immediately after going to work.
"Xiao Chen, Hans, thank you for your hard work——" Wu Liang politely thanked him.
"Brother Angkor, just call me Hans. My Chinese name is also Hans -" Hans, the blond and blue-eyed man, is of German descent and his Chinese is quite standard.
In Nyasaland, you don’t have to speak English, but you must not speak Chinese.
If you don’t know English, it will be difficult to communicate with older British people at best. If you don’t know Chinese, it will be almost impossible to get around in Nyasaland.
"It's okay, young man!" Wu Liang laughed loudly. The young man has a bright future and he has a bright future.
At eight o'clock sharp, the department staff arrived, and Secretary Bruce came in with the list.
"Wu Liang, Habacak, Sanchez, Chen Yao, Wei Ying—you guys go to the conference room on the third floor to report." Bruce frowned and took these people away, and the department's work was about to be paralyzed.
Of course those whose names were called were elated, but those whose names were not called were equally unhappy.
"Minister, can I go too?" Hans was unwilling.
"What can you do if you go?" Bruce was angry. Young people who have just started working should be calmer. If they go to the task force, who will stay to work?
"The attack team must also need someone to clean the house and boil water or something -" Hans' attitude was low. Anyway, he still had to clean the house and boil water, and it was the same for the attack team.
"Oh, it's not your turn to clean the house or boil water for the task force." Bruce is not polite, what a beautiful idea!
The conference room on the third floor has more than 100 seats fully occupied.
"Minister, who is this Thomas? Can he be transferred to our airline? We will give him the highest salary -" Marshall, general manager of Rhodesia Airways, is thirsty for talents.
After Rock established Nyasaland Airlines, Stoudemire's interest in aviation greatly increased.
At Roque's suggestion, Stoudemire established Rhodesia Airways and completed cross-holdings with Roque.
This time to develop a helicopter, Rock prepared to adopt a human wave tactic and mobilized elite troops from all over southern Africa, including Rhodesian Airways.
"Haha, don't even think about it. Thomas is a senior researcher in our power laboratory, and his identity is top secret." Diesel laughed.
The corners of Derek Dodd's mouth twitched. Others didn't know who this Thomas was, but Derek Dodd definitely knew.
Thomas is actually Rock's vest. As the Minister of Defense of Southern Africa and the Marquis of Nyasaland, Rock would be too scary if he still had an inexhaustible supply of fantastic ideas in scientific research.
So Rock simply found a few vests for himself, such as Jackson, who participated in the design and development of aircraft carriers, and engineer Leslie, who participated in the design of new rifles. After careful investigation, he could not be found.
"We now have each airline company with its own research institute. This is actually a huge waste. It is better to pool all the research institutes and share resources. This will more effectively promote the scientific and technological progress in Southern Africa." Marshall thought hard, and his purpose was
It's not a joint research, but for the pile of patents of Nyasaland Aviation Group.
In fact, as the aviation industry has developed to this day, technical barriers are gradually forming.
Nyasaland Aviation Group has submitted hundreds of patents every year in recent years, covering all aspects of civil aviation. Rhodesia Airways has been trying hard to catch up, but it still cannot keep up with Nyasaland Aviation Group and can only learn from Nyasaland Aviation Group.
Asalan Aviation Group purchased the patent and developed it on its own, which was miserable.
"Haha, Marshall, do you think our Nyasaland Aviation Group is a fool?" Rich Wheeler, general manager of Nyasaland Aviation Group, retorted. It is impossible to unite. The only way is to honestly pay money to buy patents.
Kingly way.
"Why do you say that? I think your Lordship's model is very good." Marshall is not stupid, he knows how to pull off the tiger's skin to make a big show.
Derek Dodd looked down at the time and nodded to Diesel and Bobby Holt.
Diesel and Bobby Holt are the overall persons in charge of the helicopter project, Diesel is mainly responsible for the power part, and Bobby Holt is responsible for integration.
The first helicopter developed by Sikorsky, the "Father of the Helicopter" in another time and space, was so crude that it was almost the same as the first airplane developed by the Wright brothers.
Rock was standing at the shoulder level of his predecessors, overtaking in corners, and described the helicopter to Diesel and Bobby Holt. Not only did it include a complete rotor and tail rotor, but the cabin was also a fully enclosed and closed design. Once designed,
If successful, you can put it into use directly.
"Gentlemen, ladies -" Diesel habitually knocked on the microphone before speaking, and also gave two test sounds.
The effect was quite good. The conference room, which was very lively just now, immediately became quiet.
"——You have all seen that we are full of talents today, some are from the Engine Research Institute, some are from the Aviation Design Institute, and some are from Fawalt——" Diesel took his time, the ones from Fawalt are materials
Experts, helicopters have very high requirements for materials. Simply put, they are lighter, stronger and more durable. These are inseparable from the cooperation of Favalte Steel Group.
Strictly speaking, it is Favart Special Steel Company. This company is a subsidiary of the Iron and Steel Group. It is rich in talents and powerful, and its products are exported to Europe and the United States.
"This time we are going to study a brand new aircraft that can take off and land vertically, hover, is not restricted by terrain and climate, and has a very wide range of applications. For this purpose, the Lord ordered a team to be formed. I will announce the various groups of the team below.
Team leader, the leader of the team responsible for power is myself, the leader of the second team responsible for materials is Dr. Marcellus of Fawalt Special Metals, and the leader of the third team responsible for the telex system is Marion of Walvis Bay Company.
Doctor——" With Diesel's announcement, the team quickly got into gear.
