Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 1462 Breaking rigidity and advocating innovation (1010)

"Disadvantages?" Everyone wondered.

Jiang Chen nodded and said: "That's right, it's the disadvantages. The most important thing is that the design concept of these Soviet equipment is relatively old, and the design concept they adhere to is very consistent with their military strategy. On the one hand, what they have The most important thing in designing these helicopters is to consider the cost performance. To put it bluntly, they are preparing for large-scale wars. Then, in this way, in order to seek lower costs and faster production speeds. So in some Compared with other helicopters of the same type in the world, it is somewhat insufficient. And we are not a unit that undertakes this kind of task, but a commercial company. Why I emphasize commercial is because we mainly take The most important thing is the market road. Unlike other scientific research institutes, we have the support from the above, and we have continuous funds. All our funds come from ourselves, without any external support.

So it is doomed that we are going to take a route that is close to the market.In this way, our products cannot be marketed solely on the basis of cheap comparison.Then we are just a manufacturer, and we will never become a great innovative technology enterprise respected by the world.Moreover, such a company simply cannot compete among many similar companies, let alone fight against those industries.Therefore, we have to do our best and dig out the performance of each helicopter developed to achieve the ultimate.In this way, not only can we occupy a place in the market, but also greatly improve our research and development level, instead of becoming a factory that can only produce low-end products. "

Seeing this, everyone nodded, and Jiang Chen continued: "There is another reason, and that is practical factors. Because of the disintegration, these countries headed by Russia have eliminated too many related products, not only helicopters but also other products. Some equipment. In addition, due to the deterioration of the economy of these countries, the factories that produced these weapons and equipment before are now seeking the international market at low prices. In their situation, apart from these cheap equipment, there seems to be no What kind of competitiveness. So if we copy their technology and manufacture it like this, there is no way to compete with them in this respect. Even if we win a tie or defeat our opponent, the price we pay will be very painful. And Whether it is their second-hand equipment or the equipment they produced from the factory, the cost is much lower than that of our research and development. Therefore, when we are not superior in all aspects, how can we produce similar products with them? competition."

"you are right".Mr. Lu nodded, and then said solemnly: "These are indeed things we have never thought of. It seems that we should listen to your opinions on this aspect in the future."

Jiang Chen waved his hands with a smile and said, "I'm just analyzing the market. When it comes to the professional field, I'm completely blindsided."

Hehe, Mr. Lu shook his head and asked Jiang Chen: "Then since you support this project, you have put forward so many opinions. Let me tell you how to proceed with this project."

Jiang Chen thought for a while, then raised his head and said two words to Mr. Lu: "Innovation!"

"Innovation?" Mr. Lu and everyone else asked in confusion.

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "That's right, it's innovation, and only innovation can lead to development. Although these materials and technologies belong to them, we also have our own advantages. That is, we are a very young research team, and we are also A new team that has always been very dynamic. Although such a team has certain technical disadvantages compared to those old research teams, it is because we are young and new. Because we have not yet formed an inherent rigid style Or ideas and concepts. Then this means that we can absorb the strengths of various companies and use them for our own use, so that we can absorb and integrate them, and then carry out self-innovation to develop products with our own characteristics and ideas. I think so The products are more excellent, and such products are able to amaze the world and make them marvel at it.”

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Mr. Lu nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, that is to say, the technologies we have obtained are just tools, and how to use them depends on ourselves. Is there no way to blindly imitate? There is no way out, only by insisting on self-innovation can we develop and last.”

Jiang Chen nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's how it is."

"But what exactly is it?" Zhicheng asked in a daze.

Hehe, Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics. This can only be figured out by the project R&D team. But in this regard, I think we can learn from other countries' experience in R&D and design of related foreign helicopters. , to absorb nutrition. On the other hand, we can take a longer view. Imagine what the future helicopter will be like, and then absorb the desirable ones and apply them to our current technology.”

Seeing that Zhicheng wanted to ask again, Mr. Lu waved his hands and said, "Okay, don't embarrass Xiaojiang in this area anymore. After all, he is not an expert in this area. It is not easy to say so much. Go ahead, Let's quickly tell Xiao Jiang the general situation of the base, and then we can go to Lao Cui and the others."

Okay, seeing this, Zhicheng had no choice but to give up, and then said to Jiang Chen: "Next, let me introduce to you the development of several laboratories in our entire aviation system. First of all, the aerodynamics laboratory At present, the first large-scale subsonic wind tunnel in our laboratory has been fully constructed. At present, in addition to doing some research on our aviation industry, we will also serve some other projects of the company and the B17 factory. Of course, we It will also be open to provide paid services for some other domestic units and projects. But in this regard, after all, we are paid services, so it is not very ideal."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this aspect, the important thing is our open attitude."

Zhicheng nodded and continued: "In addition to this subsonic wind tunnel, our low-speed wind tunnel has also been put into use and served various projects. In addition, there is another one. This is our fluid flow tunnel." The main research aspect of the laboratory is fluid mechanics. At present, this laboratory is also under construction, and it is estimated that by the end of summer, the construction will be completed and enter the stage of equipment installation and commissioning.”

"Okay, after waiting for several years, it's finally completed. It's not easy." Jiancheng said with beaming eyebrows when he heard this.

And Lu Lao also said with a smile: "With this aerodynamics laboratory, it is equivalent to inserting wings for our base, and the speed of our research and development projects will be greatly accelerated in the future."
