Start from 1980

Chapter 733 There will be such a day

Go straight to Uncle Cao's unit.

After tossing and tossing for so long, I played a big show with them, followed by various analysis, now it's time to get some benefits.

Seeing Su Chen come over suddenly.

"Hey, what's blowing you today?" Uncle Cao asked.

"Uncle Cao, why do I feel that your words are a bit weird." Su Chen said, "I came here today mainly to trouble you with two things."

"We'll talk about these two things later. I've read your two articles." Uncle Cao almost had a smile on his face.

"On the study of economics, I feel that I can compare to these people, who start to show off after learning a little bit." Su Chen said, "I had prepared various manuscripts, but I didn't expect them to die down. "

"In front of you, they must not dare to consider themselves economists. Anyway, when I read the article you wrote, I felt that the face was slapped." Uncle Cao picked up the tea mug and took a sip happily, " You are coming to see me today, what is it?"

"Can you help arrange a few retired soldiers?" Su Chen said with a bitter face, "I have offended a lot of people, what if someone comes to the door in the middle of the night and shoots me?"

"So I came here to ask you to help arrange some veterans to be my bodyguards."

"I thought it was a big deal." Uncle Cao put down the tea mug, "I'll arrange this for you, but now it's the New Year's Eve, so I have to wait until after the New Year's Eve before I can arrange someone to come over for you. "

"Then I will wait until after the new year to take over the manpower you arranged."

"What's the second thing?" Uncle Cao asked.

Su Chen said: "I want to see Yun 10. You also know that I arranged the fire plan before, and selected a large group of people to go out to study, but now I haven't seen what Yun 10 looks like, so I want to see it."

In the 70s, after US President Nixon visited China, he sold 10 Boeing 707 passenger planes to China.

For the first time, China has a modern civilian airliner.

Amidst the joy and admiration, relevant departments thought that the development of China's civil aircraft industry should be accelerated.

当年中国只能够生产运-5（仿安-2）客机, 运-7（仿安-24）和运-8（仿安-12）还在襁褓之中挣扎。

However, civil aircraft is in the ascendant in the world.

美国不但有波音707，727，737DC-9，还有DC-10和波音747宽体客机。

The Soviet Union not only has long-range airliners such as the Il-62, but also the Tu-144 supersonic airliner; Europe develops the Airbus and the Concorde supersonic airliner.

At that time, the only one that could be used as a reference model for our large passenger aircraft was the Trident, which was about to be eliminated by the British Seath government.

Therefore, China's civil aviation and air force have purchased a large number of Trident aircraft, and the imitation plan is also in full swing.

But unexpectedly, the Xisi government actually fell, and China's plan to develop the Trident airliner also came to naught.

"Okay, I approve this matter." Uncle Cao said, "But the Shanghai side has already been demolished. Let me ask some comrades to explain to you."

It is said that this year's National Day, the Civil Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Aeronautics and Space sent people to Shanghai to listen to the opinions on the upper trunk line aircraft.

When someone in Shanghai mentioned that the MD82 had dismantled all the frames of Yunshi, a leader of the Aviation Department at that time replied: "Yes, the mold is gone, and the road of Yunshi can't go back."

In order to make room for the MD82, all the frames, tooling, and fixtures on the Yunshi aircraft production line were not only dismantled, but also sold out as scrap copper and rotten iron.

When the production line of the Yunshi aircraft was dismantled, a labor competition was launched!
Uncle Cao quickly called Shanghai and asked someone there to answer the phone.

A technician who is said to be involved in the research of 708 came over the phone.

Soon, Su Chen learned from him that the 707 is a few meters shorter than the Boeing 707, but it weighs a lot more when empty.

The rivets on the fuselage are an important part of strengthening the fuselage structure, but if you look closely, even the rivets are not riveted well. This kind of aviation technology really cannot reassure the crew.

And I heard that the instruments in the cockpit are far worse, even the infrared lighting of the instruments has not been fixed.

Even Su Chen, a person who doesn't know much about airplanes, can hear it. How can night flight light dizziness guarantee flight safety?

Civilian airliners are used in peacetime and passenger transport for ordinary people. "Safety first" is the key, and reliability is the first element.

If there is no safe passenger plane, it is not as good as a pile of scrap iron.

Because a pile of scrap iron will not cause a catastrophe!
Those passionate men who have flown the most dangerous test subject of Yun-7 - "single launch and landing", are not at ease about the Yun-4 with 10 engines.

Secondly, imitation is fine, the key is that 707 is already a backward product, and the imitation is not enough.

The designer told Mr. Su personally that the 708 has serious problems in the process and cannot be mass-produced at all.

"We don't have the giant hydraulic press used for the keel of the fuselage, and we don't have high-strength blast welding technology, navigation and radar systems, and composite materials. We can't pass the test."

Just to raise a few questions from usage;
1. The cost is too high, including purchase cost and use cost;
2. The failure rate is too high to be put into normal use;
3. The maintenance is too complicated, and the engine cannot even be repaired. The engine is originally a spare part of the 707. As for the poor performance of the 708, this is not mentioned.

After listening, Su Chen's mood was very complicated.

The designer sighed heavily: "We have also longed to fly domestically-made aircraft across continents and oceans, but these various situations are mixed..."

"I think the developers of Yun-10 can sum up their experience and lessons, work hard, and build a new generation of China's passenger aircraft as soon as possible!" Su Chen said, "There will be such a day."

If the Tinder Project is successful, he does not believe that it is still behind European and American countries in this respect.

It's no wonder that several great professors were so excited when the Tinder Project was mentioned.

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen's mood was also affected a little.

Uncle Cao glanced at him, "You have to understand that the governance and development of the country is not based on vindictiveness, so why did so many leaders approve it when you came up with the fire plan?"

"Do you know those people who went to the UK to study aero engines? There are civil aircraft industry experts Gao Liang, and 708 technicians and a large number of technical backbones."

……

After returning home, Su Chen decided to set up an aircraft joint venture company and was about to write an article.

Named "The Strategic Significance of Large Aircraft".

But before he finished writing this article, someone came to visit him.

"I want to make full moon wine for my son, don't you, a local tyrant, have to show something?" The visitor said as soon as he opened his mouth...
