Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1144 Test Flight
"No problem. This is something our country is happy to see. With the increase in foreign trade, our country's corresponding income will also increase a lot, and more factories will be able to be revitalized. To be honest, Mr. Jiang, now is a time of national transformation and the pressure from superiors is also very high. This trade is expected to solve many problems. I will fly back immediately to report to the relevant leaders in person." Cao Bin said.

"We should report it. You know the current situation in Mao. I think the demand is quite large. Let's prepare for it."

"How much is roughly needed?" Cao Bin said after thinking for a moment.

"At least 5,000 tons per month, and we can increase it if possible." Jiang Yan thought for a while and spoke.

I really need to report this to the leader. Apart from other things, the amount Jiang Yan has increased is not one or two thousand tons, but five thousand tons. This guy needs a lot of wagons. Besides, with so many things, it involves production, transportation and many other things. If the coordination is not good, big trouble will occur.

"It is best if the goods transported are mainly food and drink." Jiang Yan added.

1984年，我国粮食产量第一次站上4亿吨大关，达到了40730.5万吨的产量。这个期间的粮食产量除了1985、1986和1988年粮食产量低于4亿吨以外，其他年份的粮食产量基本在4亿吨至5亿吨左右浮动。

Agricultural production continued to develop. In 1992, the rural areas of the country further improved the household contract responsibility system, actively promoted the construction of various forms of agricultural social service systems and adjusted the agricultural production structure, vigorously carried out farmland water conservancy construction, and agricultural production achieved good harvests. The annual agricultural added value was 5808 billion yuan, an increase of 3% over the previous year, accounting for 7% of the GDP.

This year, my country's crop structure has been adjusted, and the proportion of high-quality grain has increased. Among the main agricultural products, the total grain output was 44258 million tons, an increase of 740 million tons over the previous year, the second highest yield year in history; cotton production was severely affected by drought and insect pests, and the output was greatly reduced; oilseed production remained basically the same; sugarcane and flue-cured tobacco production set a new record; vegetables and fruits production achieved another bumper harvest. However, the price of agricultural production materials has risen rapidly, and the problem of "difficulty in selling" agricultural products is more prominent.

Therefore, it is a good thing for the country and for the farmers that Jiang Yan has opened up sales channels here.

"The purchase price of the products can be doubled, and can even be paid in US dollars. My requirement is that the corresponding agricultural and sideline product raw materials also need to increase." Jiang Yan thought for a while and then spoke.

"Don't be afraid of not being able to sell them. We can probably sell as many as we have here. This situation is expected to last for three years. The money we earn in these three years will probably be enough to complete the reform of the company." Jiang Yan continued.

"I understand. After I go back and ask for instructions from my leader, I will set up a special department to be responsible for it." Cao Bin nodded and spoke.

"We must ensure both quality and quantity. If there are any problems, I will contact you directly. The situation here has just stabilized. Please do not ruin the good situation."

"it is good."

"By the way, how are our negotiations on the Il-76?" Jiang Yan then looked at Hu Jiabao and asked.

"The price of a new plane has been negotiated to 4800 million, and the price of a used plane is 3800 million. I have also looked at the used planes, and they are all well-maintained. Some of them are still 76% new!" Speaking of planes, Hu Jiabao became excited. The more he looked at the Il- plane, the more he liked it. He also cut the price down by %. He has already reported this to his superiors and is now waiting for the news from them. If the superiors approve it, he can sign the order directly.

"Ruble?" Jiang Yan asked a little curiously.

“No, it’s dollars.”

"To be honest, the price is a bit high. My suggestion is to stop the negotiations temporarily." Jiang Yan thought for a while and spoke.

"Why? This is already the lowest price."

When Hu Jiabao heard Jiang Yan say to suspend the negotiations, he became a little anxious. There was a shortage of planes everywhere now, and the sooner they could get them back, the sooner the problem of insufficient transportation capacity could be solved.

"If we wait a little longer, the price will be even lower." Jiang Yan thought for a moment and spoke. "Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Jiang and suspend the negotiations." Cao Bin interrupted Hu Jiabao and spoke directly.

"Okay, nothing more to do. I'm going to Ukraine soon and I'll ask the ship and aircraft experts to go with us."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Cao Bin nodded and agreed readily. He knew that Jiang Yan was going to Ukraine for a big move this time.

"Oh, by the way, the country has rubles, so spend them as soon as possible." When the neighbor went out, Jiang Yan spoke again and walked out.

"No, Lao Cao, what does Mr. Jiang mean? The price has been negotiated and it was about to be signed, but it has been suspended." After Jiang Yan left, Hu Jiabao spoke to Cao Bin.

Hu Jiabao, who was a little angry, directly called Cao Bin "Lao Cao".

"Mr. Jiang certainly has his reasons for doing this. Just follow his instructions." Cao Bin frowned and then spoke.

"The leader said that everything here should be arranged by Mr. Jiang." Cao Bin added.

After saying these words, Cao Bin left his office directly and arranged for an expert to accompany Jiang Yan to Ukraine.

………….

Thousands of miles away from Moscow, in the western test flight field, a plane smaller than the Il-76 was parked there, and many personnel were checking it back and forth. This plane was a military transport plane developed based on the Y-33 aircraft, and its load capacity was increased by more than ten tons compared to the Y-, reaching tons.

However, compared with the 76-ton load capacity of the Il-49 aircraft, it is still a lot less. But before new transport aircraft come out, he can match it with the purchased Il-76 aircraft.

For the test flight of the aircraft, the preparation work must be done in place, so they are making intensive preparations here. First, they have to pull the plane to the runway for a taxi test, and only after there are no problems can they conduct the maiden flight.

Also being tested together with this aircraft is the new Y-10 aircraft, which has been temporarily moved to the aircraft company's factory and then to the flight test station for taxiing tests.

The engineers from Xinyi Aircraft Manufacturing Factory were also in place. Of course, as this was such an important first taxiing test, and time was tight, with the first flight to take place in two days, the aircraft factory's chief engineer Wu Gongwei came here.

Before every aircraft's first flight, it must undergo a taxiing test to check whether there are any problems with the aircraft's various systems, such as the landing gear, braking system, and whether the aircraft's attitude is normal during taxiing.

The taxiing test is divided into low-speed taxiing, medium-speed taxiing and high-speed taxiing tests. The low-speed taxiing is mainly used to test the flexibility of the aircraft in taxiing on the ground, while the medium-speed and high-speed taxiing not only tests the attitude control of the aircraft, but also tests the braking system.

When the aircraft is taxiing on the ground, it relies on its own power to move on the ground. The test is completed under minimum thrust, that is, in slow-speed state. During the high-speed taxiing test under high thrust state and close to the lift-off speed, the front wheels of the aircraft will be lifted to simulate the take-off state of the aircraft.

Generally speaking, the taxiing test is done more than once. If everything goes well, it is relatively simple and can be done two or three times.
