Chapter 1634 Product Lifecycle and Winter Offensive

R&D is the life force of an enterprise, which Lynch knows better than anyone.

Even if the aviation patents and technology of the flight institute are the best in the world, he did not reduce the research funds of the flight institute.

A lot of money went down, and the design of the new aircraft by the Flight Research Institute was basically perfected at this time.

In Lynch's words, the now-completed design has reached a true second generation, and isn't quite the original yet.

The addition of fluid dynamics and dynamics gave the new aircraft a dramatic change in appearance from its past.

The shape is more beautiful, the wind resistance is smaller, the steering and lifting are more flexible, and most importantly, the speed is faster!

If the combat power of the aircraft produced by Blackstone Aviation is now 1.5, and the combat power of the fighters of the Pengio Empire is 1.2, then the combat power of the new fighters is theoretically more than two.

This is already a qualitative change!

From the point of view of the chief engineer, now that there is a better design, and the war is still going on, a better aircraft should be taken out for production, not to mention helping the Federation win or something, at least it can make money, right?

Lynch was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses. He smiled and shook his head, "No, not for the time being, at least we don't have to announce this to the public this year."

"Our order has been placed in March next year, and it is in a hot selling period."

"And its new capabilities are enough to create enough of an advantage for the Federal Air Force in the fight for air supremacy that we don't need to replace it with a new aircraft at the right time."

"The overflow performance will not only bring us no profit, but will affect our subsequent development!"

Many companies have actually come a long way in research and development. They sell the first-generation products, but they have been able to put the second-generation products into the assembly line. At the same time, the third-generation samples have been produced in the laboratory, and the first generation has been improved. The theory of four generations of products...

Some companies even sell the first generation, the third and even fourth generation products have reached the standard of mass production.

But why, these companies did not sell new products immediately, but continued to sell what they were selling?

In fact, many people treat multiple problems as a single problem. As long as they are divided into independent individuals, they can clearly understand the reasons.

In addition to calculating the cost of a product, it will also calculate a rate of return and a sales market.

In a capital society, if you want to convince capitalists to spend money on a certain project, you must let them clearly understand how much return they can bring to themselves after they invest, and the return period.

When the first-generation product has not yet met the rate of return, or there is still enough market and return period, blindly launching the second-generation product will only compress the market space and profit space of the first-generation product.

It is obvious that two products can earn two hundred yuan, but because of the early release, they only earn one hundred and fifty yuan in the end. This obviously does not conform to the pursuit of profit by capitalists, nor does it conform to the natural rules of the free market.

So only after the profit of the first generation product is squeezed out, the second generation product will be launched.

Of course, some companies solve this problem by layering their products. For example, the first-generation products are in the low-end market, and the second-generation products are in the mid-to-high-end market.

After the third-generation products come out, the first generation will be placed at the bottom, the second-generation products will be the mid-to-low-end products, and the third-generation products will be the mid-to-high-end products...

This is mainly for a larger market share. If the market share is not considered, the product is unique, indispensable, and has strong competitiveness, then there is no need to rush to promote the replacement of the product.

The chief engineer does not understand these, he is now a qualified manager and a qualified researcher, but he is not a qualified capitalist.

Lynch would never have given up on a first-generation aircraft without draining the last bit of blood from the product.

What's more, it is the most suitable time to wait for the first generation of aircraft to sell almost before launching the second generation.

However, this incident also made Lynch realize that the Flight Research Institute can already achieve technical reserves, which is a good thing.

The war is still going on...

As the weather cooled, the frequency of fighting on the Mariro side began to decrease.

The cold air from the north is heading south, and in November, the temperature in the north-central part of Mariro is already below zero.

Both Mariro and the Federals are prepared to prevent freezing. The extremely freezing climate has been present for several years. It has been unsuitable at the beginning, and has gradually adapted to it. It can be regarded as a kind of "evolution" process of human beings.

But Pengio and its vassals were completely unaccustomed to such cold weather!

The Pontgio Empire is located in the subtropics, and his vassals are all around him. They have not experienced such extreme weather, and naturally they are not prepared.

The Marillo Rebellion had warned them to watch out for extreme freezing weather, but what about this kind of thing?

Just like someone said it will be cold for a few days, most people don't associate "cold" with "injury" or even "death"!

There are also winters in the subtropics. For these outsiders, what they think of as "cold" is at most a little snow or something. Playing around didn't take into account that it would be so scary!

This also led to extremely terrifying non-combat attrition of these "outsiders" in extremely freezing weather!

Don't underestimate the issue of climate, like some people who don't know the situation here, if they don't take good measures to keep warm at night, they may freeze to death in the middle of the night.

Even if you spend a night, you may lose your combat effectiveness because you are not familiar with some "taboos", such as touching iron products with bare hands, such as rifles, without protection...

During this period, the main materials used in weapon production were still steel and wood, and in terms of physical strength, steel was still the main material.

Until new materials are invented, only steel can ensure the normal use of weapons.

This also led to the hands of many foreign soldiers being glued to the weapons, and people who encountered this situation for the first time would be very anxious.

Some people try to get their hands off the rifle, often with dire results.

Everything that happened forced the Marillo rebels to shrink their forces and stick to some small cities or villages, towns.

According to their ideas, maybe everyone will truce this winter and wait for the arrival of spring.

But under such extreme weather conditions, the federal government is planning a winter offensive, and they don't plan to let these resistance bureaus and outsiders have a stable winter...

At this time, in the north-central part of Marilo, people were already hiding in their rooms, or around the campfire.

The weather is too cold, a bearded man is sitting by the fire and has been shivering, he is too cold!

The thermometer hanging on the wall stopped working long ago, and he even suspected that if the weather was colder, the bonfire in front of him would be frozen by the icy air.

There was no sound in the whole village.

Since the freezing weather broke out, people living in the north of Mariro have fled south. When the rebels found the village, it was empty and there was no inhabitant.

Now, this is one of the resistance garrison locations, but it's too cold!

The houses here are not so sealed, and there is no heating or anything. Since this time, more than a dozen people have been frozen to death.

When they went to bed at night, they also instructed those foreigners not to expose too much of their bodies, and to wrap themselves in sheepskin.

But there are always some people...

At the thought of those unlucky **** frozen into ice lollies, an indescribable irritability appeared on the soldier's face.

These foreigners are more useless than imagined!

It's not that he belittles these people, it's that they are really useless!

In the face of the Federation's attack, there is not much difference between them and the native Mariro natives. They can't fight the same, and then retreat the same.

The only difference might be that they were in a more complete formation when they retreated?

The soldiers didn't know, but he didn't think it was a good thing. The arrival of these foreigners made the rebels more prominent.

In the past, when they didn't come, people who picked up their guns were rebels, and when they put down their guns, they were civilians.

Now that they have no chance to go back to the past, they can only bite the bullet and walk out of the city, which is actually not what most rebels want!

The soldier looked around, lowered his head again, and moved closer to the bonfire.

In this **** cold weather, no one should attack.

Suddenly he looked up in confusion. The roar of the planes in the sky had already made him numb. He looked up and saw a few planes flying from the south, heading west.

They may have found themselves and the bonfire in front of them, but the soldier didn't want to do anything, he just watched the plane fly farther and farther west of the Tide River until he couldn't see it at all.

That's the direction of the port, the soldier thought to himself.

He continued to feel the low temperature of the bonfire, and at the same time there was a doubt in his heart.

It's so cold, aren't those pilots afraid of the cold?

He heard that the temperature in the sky is lower than the ground, these people are afraid that they have frozen into popsicles, right?

The soldier's knowledge and knowledge could not answer his curiosity~lightnovelpub.net~ In fact, not only did the pilots not feel cold, but they were sweating hot!

The federal government asked to launch a winter offensive to solve Mariro's problem this winter. As an aircraft manufacturer, Lynch would definitely cooperate.

The Department of Defense came up with various ideas for the modification of combat aircraft, and Lynch then arranged for engineers to carry out the modification.

The way of heating is also proposed by Lynch himself.

His idea is simple.

The engine of the aircraft needs to be cooled down in normal times, but it is not needed now, so why not use the heat generated by the faint engine to form several heat flow ducts in the body.

In this way, as long as the aircraft takes off, the escape temperature of the engine can ensure the temperature inside the aircraft.

His idea was amazed by everyone in the Flight Research Institute, and these planes were test flights.

Once the test flight is successful, it proves that Lynch's heating method is effective. As long as the modification is completed, the winter offensive will break out!
