Chapter 610 The thigh that the bank also wants to hug
It wasn't until Zhang Qihang hung up the phone that Chief Niu, who had been secretly speculating about Zhang Qihang's relationship with the army, carefully asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, just now..."

Zhang Qihang didn't want to say it at first, but when he thought that the other party had almost heard the conversation between him and Director Wang, he hesitated for a while, and said vaguely: "It's a leader of the Army Aviation Regiment of our Shun Geng Military Region... "

"The Army Aviation Regiment is an elite unit of the Shungeng Military Region," President Huang said in surprise, "Mr. Zhang still knows the leader of the Army Aviation Regiment of our military region?"

"This... how should I put it?" Zhang Qihang thought for a while, and said, "It is not easy to talk about this kind of thing casually, but the two of you are not outsiders, so I will simply say what I can say."

Director Niu and President Huang nodded frantically.

They are really curious about the twists and turns. If they really can't say anything, that's fine, but if they have something to say, then they really want to hear it.

"I won't talk about the specifics. In short, it's a coincidence. When our group decided to launch this ultra-light agricultural plant protection helicopter project, the leaders of the Army Aviation Corps knew about it." Ask me 'Xiao Zhang, can the helicopter you are going to build be able to perform some of the daily flying and training tasks of our army pilots?'.

I was curious, and asked what was going on, saying that our plane flies slowly and carries few people, so it can't compare with the Mi-17 helicopters equipped in our army.

The leader explained to me, Xiao Zhang, you don’t know that our Mi-17 helicopter is good, but the flight cost is too high. To perform a flight training mission, it needs to consume several tons of fuel alone. Carry out a comprehensive inspection of the aircraft, and the life of the engine is also limited... In short, every time a flight mission is performed, various costs are added together, and an aircraft needs to consume tens of thousands of dollars. To organize a multi-aircraft training , tens of millions will be gone. "

Hearing from Zhang Qihang that a flight training cost tens of millions, Director Niu and President Huang were shocked...

"The cost is so high?"

"Why is it so expensive?"

"When the cannon fires, it's worth ten thousand taels of gold. It's the same reason for putting this thing on an airplane, which is more sophisticated than a cannon and has a higher manufacturing cost." Zhang Qihang knew that the two were not from the military, so he didn't leak the secrets. Let’s explain in as much detail as possible: “For example, the capacity of the main fuel tank of the Mi-17 helicopter is almost 2500 liters. If two external auxiliary fuel tanks are added, it can carry more than 4400 liters in one take-off. Such a large amount of aviation kerosene will require How much?
This is just fuel, plus other miscellaneous expenses. An aircraft performs a flight mission, and tens of thousands of dollars are easily lost. If there are shooting training and airdrop training at the same time as flight training , The money consumed is rolling up again.

This is why the leaders of our Army Aviation are interested in our helicopter: the flying cost of our aircraft is cheap, and the fuel cost is only a few hundred dollars for two hours of flying, even if this aircraft can only perform part of the daily flight training mission, which allows the pilot to keep the feeling of flying and saves a lot of money. "

That's it!

Director Niu and President Huang suddenly realized: yes!If Huateng's helicopter can greatly reduce the flight cost and daily training cost of the Road Air Force, the troops will definitely be interested. After all, our country's military expenditure is limited, so doing so is equivalent to spending money wisely.

Especially President Huang, his eyes are even brighter: "Brother Zhang, according to what you said, if this helicopter of your company is really taken by the leaders of our army, does it mean that you can get a lot of troops?" Order?"

"This...how should I put it?" Zhang Qihang scratched his head: "Our aircraft itself is very cheap, and when the troops purchase it, they will try their best to keep the price down. Buying 100 planes at once, isn’t that only 100 million?”

President Huang and Director Niu rolled their eyes when they heard this: You kid is so insane, you don't even care about [-] million yuan?
Rolling their eyes, the thoughts of the two of them quickly came to life: Since the Luhang Troop of the Shungeng Military Region is interested in this helicopter of Huateng Group, and wants to use this helicopter to replace part of the daily training tasks of active military helicopters, then the problem is coming, China has 7 military regions, probably each military region has its own helicopter unit, right?If Huateng Group really takes this opportunity to open up the market for military entry-level trainer helicopters, does that mean that Huateng Group has also obtained tickets for trainer helicopters from other military regions?
Seven military regions!
Thinking of this, President Huang and Director Niu suddenly couldn't calm down any longer. Suppressing the excitement in their hearts, President Huang carefully asked for confirmation: "Brother, I remember you once said when we chatted before that your company is the only one in China. Production unit for ultralight helicopters with piston engines?"

Zhang Qihang replied very modestly: "At least so far, I haven't heard of a second company similar to ours in China,"

President Huang became even more excited: "Doesn't that mean that you are a unique business?"

"You can't say that." Although that's what he thought in his heart, he definitely couldn't say that. Zhang Qihang said politely: "There is no such thing as a unique business. It's a joke to say that. I can only say that Hafei, Chang The big brothers in the field of flying these helicopters don't like this kind of low-end helicopter, which gave us a little chance..."

Pack!
You fucking keep pretending to me!
Zhang Qihang's words made President Huang couldn't stand it anymore. Before Zhang Qihang finished speaking, he directly interrupted Zhang Qihang's words and said, "Brother, let's not talk about these words. I just ask, do you need this project now?" Need financial support? We dare not say that there are too many in ICBC, tens of millions can still be scraped together..."

President Huang is smart, but Director Niu is not stupid. Seeing that Comrade Huang is eyeing this piece of fat, how can Director Niu bear it?He grabbed Zhang Qihang's hand and looked at Zhang Qihang affectionately: "Brother, don't listen to Lao Huang, let me tell you, their ICBC's interest rate is extremely high, but if you get this loan from us Leave the post office, I can apply for an ultra-low interest rate for you..."

Hearing this, President Huang resigned: "Old Niu, you're being a little out of touch. Brother Zhang is obviously the one who spoke first..."

"Get out!" On such a big matter, Director Niu naturally did his part: "If I hadn't asked Brother Zhang to come out today, would you have had a chance? Let me tell you, you didn't do things like this..."

Looking at the people who were about to quarrel, Zhang Qihang couldn't laugh or cry: "I said, two big brothers, we don't plan to borrow money for this project for the time being."

"what……"

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, President Huang and Director Niu were all dumbfounded.

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

Zhang Qihang attached great importance to the demonstration to the Army Aviation Regiment of the military region. Not only did he lead the team himself, but he also specially found a refrigerated truck that was not common at this time, and organized a batch of condolence supplies such as rice noodles, meat and eggs.

Seeing these things brought by Zhang Qihang, Director Wang, who was already smiling brightly, narrowed his eyes even more, and shook Zhang Qihang's hand vigorously: "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite, you are too polite." You're welcome……"

Zhang Qihang smiled and said: "Don't say that we are a family of soldiers and civilians. This is what we should do. Even if we go to a friend's house or relatives, there is no reason to come empty-handed, right?"

"Haha..." Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Director Wang was even happier: "What Mr. Zhang said is... Let me tell you, the braised pork cooked by the master chef in our canteen is excellent. Today, Mr. Zhang can say a lot Have a drink..."

………………

After exchanging pleasantries between the two parties, Zhang Qihang brought Director Wang to the two helicopters that had been unloaded from the pallet truck. Looking at the two helicopters in front of him, Director Wang's expression was a bit indescribable...

It's nothing more than crude, after all, at the beginning of the cooperation, Director Wang already knew that the reference object of this ultra-light helicopter made by Huateng Group was the Robinson R22 of Millikin, so he specially found some information about the Robinson R22 helicopter , but the crudeness of the two helicopters in front of him was beyond Director Wang's imagination—it was the first time he saw a helicopter without a door.

After a while, Director Wang smacked his lips, pointed to the plane in front of him and said to Zhang Qihang, "Mr. Zhang, isn't this... a bit too simple?"

"It's really a bit simpler," Zhang Qihang nodded, without denying it: "However, when the prototype is officially finalized, we will not only install doors on the cockpit, but also introduce a heating system to ensure that the Normal use in winter."

Yes, the early Robinson R22 not only did not have air conditioning, it did not even have a heating system. In summer, it was fine without air conditioning. Helicopters fly in the air at an altitude of 150 meters, and the temperature itself is much lower than that on the ground. In addition, the aircraft itself has At a flight speed of over 22 kilometers per hour, the temperature in the cabin will not be very hot, but it will not work in winter, the weather itself is cold, and the temperature is even colder when the aircraft is flying at high speed in the air, so the early Robinson The owner of the R[-] usually seals up his aircraft in winter.

At the beginning of designing this helicopter, Zhang Qihang made a request: With the power of ROTAX, it is impossible to install a cooling system, but we must find a way to install a heating system.

This is not difficult. The ROTAX 914 engine itself is a hybrid cooling engine with a liquid-cooled/air-cooled structure. It is easy to introduce the waste heat of the engine into the cab. It can ensure that the temperature in the cab reaches 20 degrees - the temperature is not very high, but at least you don't have to wear bloated clothes.

Director Wang was a little surprised: "Can there really be warm air?"

He really didn't expect such a crude looking helicopter to have a heating system.

"Of course," Zhang Qihang nodded affirmatively: "The standard given by our engineers is that when the plane flies at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour in a temperature of minus 120 degrees, the temperature in the cabin can be guaranteed to reach 12 degrees Celsius."

Director Wang was immediately moved: "When it's minus 20 degrees, can it still be 12 degrees?"

As a veteran of the Air Force, Director Wang is well aware of the equipment of the domestic Air Force. Among other things, our Air Force has to issue warm leather jackets and pants and large leather shoes lined with wool in winter. It is not because the Air Force There is so much money that there is no place to spend it. It is really cold in the sky, so I can’t wear it like this, but the temperature in the cabin of this small helicopter in front of me can reach 12 degrees Celsius, not to mention the warm air?
Zhang Qihang nodded: "We designed it according to this standard, but whether we can achieve this effect or not, we have to wait for the actual test when we get the motivation."

Director Wang was moved.

If it is said that before this, he was only holding the mentality of "understanding first before talking about this ultra-light helicopter" developed by Huateng Group, then at this moment, his expectation for this helicopter has reached "It's really good, I just don’t know how the performance is and whether it can meet the original expectations. If it can meet the pilot’s basic flight training and the price is not expensive, then it’s best to buy a few planes to try.”

With this change in mentality, Director Wang looked at this helicopter that didn't even have a door installed, and there were no more than 10 helicopters including spare instruments, and he was quite pleasing to the eye. If the wind system can really reach 12 degrees, it will be much more convenient to use in winter.”

"Really?" Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "The reason why we installed this winter heating system is to consider that the forestry and agricultural departments also have winter inspection needs."

"This is indeed a good thing," Director Wang nodded again and again: "By the way, I read the information you sent earlier, saying that the average fuel consumption of this plane is about 20 liters per hour. Can it really be so low?"

"This... how should I put it?" Zhang Qihang thought for a while, and said tactfully: "In our test, if one person drives in the most economical way, the fuel consumption for one hour is not even 20 liters, but if It is used as a trainer in our army. It is hard to say if two people often do relatively large maneuvers. Maybe 30 liters or 40 liters per hour cannot be taken down... Different driving methods will lead to a comparison in fuel consumption Director Wang, you can understand the big gap, right?"

He was really worried that his words would be misunderstood by the leaders of the army.

But Zhang Qihang thought too much. Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Director Wang laughed loudly: "Of course I understand this truth. With your words, I feel relieved."
