Tang Xiaochuan had long guessed that as long as the Shen Gong 1 flying chariot is released, it will definitely attract the attention of all parties. Although it is an aircraft without a weapon system, its powerful aerial performance alone is enough for countries around the world. mouth watering.

Regarding the two proposed by Director Luo, Tang Xiaochuan thought about it and said: “Luo Bureau, our company can supply you with aircraft engines and some other key parts. You have factories and design capabilities. You can manufacture them yourself. You don’t need to We purchase finished products!"

After hearing this, Director Luo was taken aback and asked with a smile: "I have brought so many orders to your company, why are you still unwilling to take it? You think the money is hot?"

Tang Xiaochuan waved his hand again and again: "No, Luo Ju, I didn’t mean it, I’m not telling you. Since our company held the flight show observation meeting last time, on the same day and in the following days, our company has successively cooperated with domestic and foreign countries. The airlines and some wealthy individuals have signed a total of 142 production orders. With our company’s current production capacity, these orders may take a long time to complete. If Luo Ju wants to place an order with our company, I’m afraid it will take a long time. We can only deliver the goods in time, so I suggest that you directly purchase the most important engines and key parts, and then let other domestic aircraft manufacturing companies produce them. What do you think?"

In fact, after the release of these aircraft, Director Luo and some other team members have been arguing over whether to directly purchase finished products or purchase key components for their own aircraft manufacturing company to manufacture.

Some leaders think that purchasing engines and key components is just a stopgap measure. It is the key to be able to manufacture the finished products and achieve the performance of the models released by Feitian Technology Group. Only if you have mastered the manufacturing technology, you can rest assured, Feitian Although the technology group is a domestic enterprise, it is a private enterprise after all. It is not managed in operation, and it is impossible to obtain related manufacturing technology from Feitian Technology Group free of charge. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate and improve the independent production and manufacturing capabilities of state-owned aircraft manufacturing companies.

Some people think that although Feitian Technology Group is a private enterprise, it is a domestic national enterprise after all. It does not have any foreign capital and is trustworthy. It can save a lot of things by purchasing finished military equipment directly from Feitian Technology Group. Departments can participate in the design. As far as the level of equipment manufacturing technology is concerned, at present, only Feitian Technology Group has the top strength in China, which exceeds the world's advanced level. If it is not used, wouldn't it be a waste of such great resources? It's nothing more than spending a little more money when purchasing. What's the big deal? Is the country still short of money? No shortage!

These two views and opinions have their own reasons. Director Luo didn’t have a good time to make a decision. After asking for instructions, he decided to purchase a batch of finished products to improve the current level of combat effectiveness, and then make relevant decisions. The scientific research department conducts research on the finished products produced by Feitian Technology Group, and strives to reach this level of manufacturing technology as soon as possible, and has the strength to manufacture.

Therefore, Director Luo came with this idea today.

But after listening to Tang Xiaochuan’s words, he was embarrassed again. Indeed, Feitian Technology Group’s new energy aircraft manufacturing company has only been established for more than two months, and the production plant has not been fully constructed yet, and it has received so many orders for the production of civil aircraft. , How can there be enough production capacity to meet the demand for the production of military equipment?

Besides, this military equipment is no better than other equipment. It is used in warfare. The quality of the product must be absolutely excellent, and it cannot be handled carelessly.

Taking into account the actual production capacity of the new energy aircraft manufacturing company, and also considering Tang Xiaochuan’s suggestion, Director Luo chose a compromise method and said: "Well, Mr. Tang, show you at the flight show observation meeting. We sold a ZG021 and a Shenbow 1 to us. After we ship it back, we will do some research. If our own aircraft manufacturer can manufacture it, or the performance of the manufactured product can reach the performance of the finished product you have produced. Standard, then we don’t have to trouble your company. We only need to purchase engines and key parts. But if our own factory can’t make them, or if we can’t make them at our current level of technology, we still have to trouble. Your company provides us with these military equipment!"

After hearing this, Tang Xiaochuan nodded and agreed: "Yes, a ZG021 and a Divine Bow are not worth much. Director Luo doesn't need to buy it, just as if I donated it to the country free of charge, let's make a small contribution!"

"No, no, no!" Director Luo waved his hand again and again, "An ordinary civil airliner costs 300 to 400 million dollars. The cost of this ZG021 is estimated to be tripled or even higher; the other divine bow One type of flying chariot, not to mention anything else, only your company has the power technology on it, and its cost is probably tens of millions!"

"The combined cost of these two aircraft will cost a billion dollars. If it is a difficult period, if Mr. Tang donates them to us, we will not say anything. Everything is in our hearts! We will buy some now. There is still money for equipment, and your company must survive and pay employees, so we won’t take advantage of this!"

Tang Xiaochuan thought for a while and said, "Luo Ju, what we showed at the flight show observation meeting were all concept aircraft, and they were not for sale. It’s better to donate to the country and let them use their surplus value instead of tearing it down and returning it to the furnace!"

Director Luo was also a little embarrassed, "If this is the case, we accept the kindness of Mr. Tang and your company! In addition, we have to purchase a set of large-scale liquid hydrogen storage equipment and refueling equipment from the new energy manufacturing company under your group. Hydrogen equipment!"

Tang Xiaochuan smiled and said, "It's easy to say, I'm in charge, I will give you 20% off the normal price!"

"Hahaha, then I would be disrespectful, thank you Mr. Tang for supporting our work!"

In the morning of the next day, the New Energy Aircraft Manufacturing Company conducted a simple donation ceremony with Director Luo and his party, and handed over the concept aircraft of a zg021 and a Shen Gong Type 1 flying chariot to Director Luo and his party. The accompanying pilots mastered the use of the above equipment and operating devices under the guidance of the company's professional test pilots, and quickly got started and successfully completed the test flight.

Then, Director Luo and his team purchased a set of large-scale liquid hydrogen storage equipment and hydrogenation equipment from a new energy equipment manufacturing company. As for the production and manufacture of liquid hydrogen, it is not difficult. The difficulty is to minimize production costs and long-distance transportation. Director Luo is not a top priority.

"Mr. Tang, after purchasing this large-scale liquid hydrogen storage and hydrogenation equipment, if it works well, we may have to purchase a large amount from your company. Can your new energy equipment manufacturing company be busy?" Director Luo Asked with a smile.

Tang Xiaochuan said: "Luo can rest assured that even if the production and delivery of some civilian orders are delayed, our company will do its best to meet the needs of the country!"

Director Luo boarded the returning plane with a smile.

Half a month later, the Blue Ocean Aircraft Manufacturing Company Research Institute.

A convoy of four or five cars drove into the research institute.

"Director, you can count it!" Director He brought a few people to greet him down the office building, and saw Director Luo get off the car and greeted him immediately.

Director Luo shook hands with Director He, nodded and asked, "What's the situation?"

"You'd better go to the lounge and rest, I'll report to you!"

"No, go directly to the test plant and talk as you walk!"

"Okay, start from your side!"

The test plant was near the office building, and everyone walked over there together.

Director He said to Director Luo as he walked: “It took us three days for the engineers and technicians to disassemble all the parts of the two aircraft to ensure that all parts were not damaged. We spent a week. I have studied some key parts and components, and the basic principles have been clarified, including the engines of the two aircraft, but they cannot be manufactured with our current manufacturing technology!"

"Not only the engine, but also some other parts, even the outer shell and coating of the aircraft, we don't even have the ability to manufacture it, or it is far from being able to achieve this kind of performance after manufacture!"

Director Luo listened as he walked, his brows were frowned, "Why can't it be made? Is their manufacturing technology much higher than ours?"

"It's really too high!" Director He nodded, "Moreover, it is not just a problem of manufacturing technology, but also a problem of materials. As far as these materials are concerned, our factory can't produce them at all. This thing is not guaranteed. It can be solved with determination, scientific research technology is reached, and manufacturing technology reaches the corresponding level. It can be manufactured when the technology level is not reached. If the technology level is not reached, it will be useless for you to break your brain!"

Director Luo was very disappointed after listening. He followed Director He and his team to the test plant and saw that there were many parts on the ground, neatly arranged, and even every part was maintained.

He walked to a pile of parts and squatted down, put on his gloves and picked up a small part. It felt different when he held it in his hand. This part is very light, but he doesn't feel that it is fragile at all. It can be clearly felt that it has a very high strength. With the naked eye, it can be seen that the manufacturing process level of this part is very high, which is not what an ordinary factory can manufacture.

"It really deserves to be the company with the highest level of parts and machinery manufacturing, and only Feitian Technology Group can manufacture such high-quality parts!"
