Chapter 575 The Helicopter Prototype Comes Out
Of course, Professor Xu Qingwu couldn't do such a big thing by himself. After making up his mind to help his students, he immediately reported the situation to Vice President Zhao Mingxin.

"Xiao Zhang is going to do the matching and testing of the engine by himself?"

On the other end of the phone, Vice President Zhao Mingxin, who knew what was going on, suddenly became interested: For the School of Automotive Engineering, this is an excellent opportunity.

Vice President Zhao, who realized the rare opportunity, immediately said: "This is a good thing, this project is also a rare learning opportunity for our college... Well, in this way, I will contact the Dingyuan Proving Ground later, See if you can give us some support."

Zhang Qihang exclaimed: "Dingyuan test track?"

Dingyuan Proving Ground is an all-weather and all-terrain proving ground that was put into use in the early 90s. It has the most modern technical equipment and the most complete simulated road conditions in my country. There are dirt roads, national roads, expressways, cobblestone roads, and washboard roads in the proving ground. Almost all terrains and road conditions, such as mountain roads, etc., that is to say, the cars tested in this Dingyuan test track can drive on terrains all over the country without leaving home.

In addition, there are engine performance laboratories and vehicle safety laboratories in the Dingyuan test track. Problems found in the test track can be adjusted immediately in this test track, and then re-tested until the problem is solved.

It can be said that the Dingyuan test track represents the highest level of software and hardware in our country in terms of vehicle testing, debugging and matching, and the most amazing thing is that the Dingyuan test track is affiliated to the army.

Zhang Qihang has heard of the name of the Dingyuan test track for a long time, but before that, he never thought that he could bring WD615 and Isuzu GALA to the Dingyuan test track for matching and testing. So this matter was decided - although the dean said "go get in touch", but Zhang Qihang is not stupid, how could he not understand that if he is not confident enough, his own dean would not be able to say that .

Vice President Zhao was very satisfied with Zhang Qihang's exclamation, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, you also know the Dingyuan test track?"

"Yes," Zhang Qihang replied, "When the Dingyuan Proving Ground was built, Professor Xu, who gave us a class, also introduced the situation of this proving ground to us, saying that it is the most advanced vehicle proving ground in our country. , that is, this is a vehicle testing site for the military, I didn't expect you, Dean, to be able to make such a relationship, it's really amazing."

Being complimented by Zhang Qihang, Zhao Mingxin was very happy: "Hehehe...Xiao Zhang, you forgot the name of our school? Harbin Institute of Technology, it's not called for nothing!"

At this moment, Comrade Zhao Mingxin overflowed with arrogance!
………………

The deputy dean of the School of Automotive Engineering of Harbin Institute of Technology came forward to say hello in person, who would dare not give this face?
In less than a week, this matter was finalized, and the Dingyuan test track quickly responded, saying that Huateng Industrial Group can bring vehicles and personnel there after the new year, and every day Give Huateng Industrial Group four hours of time—of course, all of this is not free, even with the face of Vice President Zhao, the site and equipment usage fees that should be given are not less than a penny .

But does Zhang Qihang care about this?
He doesn't care at all!
Don't forget, the Dingyuan Proving Ground was built by the army. In fact, if Vice President Zhao hadn't personally helped to coordinate the relationship, even if you had money, the Dingyuan Proving Ground would not let you in.

Therefore, considering that Chinese New Year is coming soon, Zhang Qihang simply rushed to the Dingyuan test track with a batch of New Year's goods, which can be regarded as a relationship with the other party in advance.

Or how to say that the relationship is the most important thing? The leaders of the Dingyuan test track did not expect Zhang Qihang to be so interesting. Facing the various new year goods brought by Zhang Qihang, they immediately patted their chests and assured Zhang Qihang Even if they come over after the end of the new year, the Dingyuan Proving Ground will definitely try their best to cooperate with their work.

And at the wine table in the evening, the leader of the test track who was drinking happily made it clear to Zhang Qihang that they would try their best to help Huateng Industrial Group arrange more time on the premise of not delaying the mission of the troops... …

Zhang Qihang felt that the saying "Fortune does not come twice, misfortune never comes singly" was wrong. As soon as he came back from Dingyuan, Konstantin Antonov reported the good news to Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, we have made the prototype. gone."

"A prototype has already been made? Is it true or not?"

Zhang Qihang couldn't believe his ears: How long has it been since Konstantin Antonov and others received the mission? It's been less than three months since Konstantin Antonov and others received the mission. It's been three months. Already made a prototype?
Is there such an exaggeration? !

Facing the shocked Zhang Qihang, Konstantin Antonov smiled, and he said confidently to Zhang Qihang: "Sir, in the 70s, Mr. Frank Robinson was alone in his garage, Relying on an old hand computer, slide rules and handwritten calculations, the Robinson R22 was made in less than two years.

Now my team has 20 people. These people are from Miri Design Bureau and Kamov Design Bureau. Not only did you equip each of us with advanced electronic computers, but you even gave us a medium-sized computer. With such a rich resource support, if we can't make a prototype in 3 months, how can we be worthy of the salary you gave us? "

Right!

I thought it was shocking that Konstantin Antonov’s team took three months to make the prototype of Huateng Industrial Group’s first helicopter, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Qihang felt that Konstantin Antonov What Donnov said makes sense: What were the conditions when Frank Robinson designed the Robinson R22?Under such crude conditions, Frank Robinson, who didn't even have an electronic computer, could "knead" the Robinson R22 by hand in less than two years. Not only did he have experienced researchers on his side, but he also developed The hardware conditions of the aircraft are also extremely advanced, and the engine is still ready-made. Under such conditions, it seems that it is not incomprehensible to take out the prototype within 3 months?

After all, such a two-seater ultra-light helicopter has no operating system at all, and it is still a purely mechanical control method.

After reacting, Zhang Qihang immediately became excited. He rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "It's true...the prototype has been built? Okay, okay, where are you going now? Have you ignited it? Have you tested it?"

"We have just conducted the first ground ignition test," Konstantin Antonov said: "As for the test flight, how can you not be there at such an important moment?"

Mr. Antonov, there is a future!
Zhang Qihang immediately felt that his feet were a little floating. Before, he thought it was a pity that Konstantin Antonov was bald at a young age, but now look at Konstantin Antonov’s Mediterranean hairstyle. This hairstyle Why is he so pleasing to the eye and so handsome?
Patting Konstantin Antonov's shoulder hard, Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Antonov, let's go, let's go and have a look!"

"Sir, please come with me."

When Konstantin Antonov heard this, he hurried to the front and was even more excited: According to the project reward plan given in the previous episode, as long as it can pass the acceptance of the prototype stage, every member of the project team will Being able to get a huge bonus, this bonus is really too tempting for all project members who still have relatives living in Russia.

........................

During this period of time, Zhang Qihang has been very busy, coupled with his confidence in the abilities of Konstantin Antonov, Sergey Izotov and others, Zhang Qihang has not come here much, but he came to the experiment After entering the room, Zhang Qihang's heart suddenly turned cold when he saw the one on the gantry...or that pile of metal things: Is this my helicopter? !
The pile of things in front of me is really ugly. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t be able to tell that this thing is a helicopter... Well, if it wasn’t named by Konstantin Antonov, the thing in front of you was developed by them. The prototype of the first helicopter of Huateng Industrial Group, Zhang Qihang really has no way to connect this thing with the helicopter. After all, this thing in front of him doesn't even have the most conspicuous main rotor and tail rotor on the helicopter.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Qihang pointed to the pair of things in front of him and asked Konstantin Antonov: "Antonov, is this the answer sheet you gave me?"

Konstantin Antonov was calm and composed. He was so familiar with Zhang Qihang's face that he looked like he had never seen anything in the world. He pointed to the pile of things in front of him and explained to Zhang Qihang: "Sir, Prototypes are like this. Although they look crude, they have everything they need. In fact, the prototypes of fixed-wing aircraft are much simpler than this. They don’t even have engines installed. Although there are no rotors and tail rotors installed, it is considered to be in a quasi-flight test state in terms of technical status. The difference between this aircraft and a serious helicopter is that it does not install appearance parts and various supporting aviation instruments."

Is that so?
Zhang Qihang took a closer look at the pile of things in front of him, and felt that what Konstantin Antonov said seemed to be correct, at least the engine, the main reducer, the rotor head, the tail reducer and other core components of a helicopter There are all the systems, and the reason why I feel awkward is probably because the helicopter in front of me looks so simple, except for the rotor, tail rotor and the shell parts that play the role of rectification, there is not even a seat. ?
