Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 944, Personnel Deployment

At night, in the family compound of the large aircraft, a room in a tube-shaped building was still brightly lit. At this time, Mr. Wu was still busy working, writing on the table some of his own views on how to mass-produce large aircraft. However, now the production of large aircraft will be moved to Tianjin, so he must make a good plan. In short, everything is complicated.

There are several main problems in the production of large aircraft:

First, it is a funding issue, which must be in place on time without any delay.

Second, there are various talents, such as production line personnel, senior designers, project coordinators, testing personnel, etc. The number of people is huge, and it takes thousands of people to complete. How should these personnel be recruited?

Third, strive for the support of the country, otherwise don’t even think about it.

Fourth, whether the aircraft can obtain an international flight certificate.

Fifth, how to solve some technical difficulties and equipment problems, such as engine problems and how to solve the problem of aircraft fuselage strength.

In fact, the issues raised by Mr. Wu are the most important issues in the design of large aircraft. As long as these five issues are resolved, there will be no problem in the mass production of large aircraft. However, the more difficult issue now is the talent issue.

Let's not talk about the workers for now, just talking about the technicians, a large number of them are already married and have children, so they will naturally stay in the branch here in Shanghai. But he knows that McDonnell Douglas staff are now contacting these people, offering high salaries and housing for communication, but many technicians did not immediately agree due to their responsibility to the country. But Mr. Wu knows that these are also problems that need to be solved. If he wants employees to work well, he must solve the worries of technicians and workers, but all this requires money.

Fortunately, after he reported to the receiving company, the expenses were quickly approved. The placement of relevant personnel and the increase in expenses, although not as high as those given by the Eagle Sauce, such a salary level is also among the highest in the entire Magic City, so people's hearts soon stabilized, and the corresponding work became much easier to do.

However, the overall speed needs to be accelerated now. Not long ago, the relevant department told me that the talks with McDonnell Douglas were almost over. Soon, the factory that originally produced large aircraft would become a factory for assembling McDonnell Douglas aircraft. Therefore, the information related to the production of large aircraft must be moved away immediately, otherwise changes would occur.

Originally, Mr. Wu was a little resentful about the suspension of the large aircraft research and development project, but after the last meeting in Sijiu City and the conversation between him and the relevant leaders after the meeting, he understood the difficulties of the country. Not to mention the large aircraft project he is currently participating in, other projects that are much more important than his own large aircraft have now been cancelled. It seems that the country is really in trouble, and he also needs to understand a little.

Besides, there are still many difficulties in our own large aircraft project. It will take some time to mass produce it. At this time, McDonnell Douglas proposed to cooperate with us to produce and design large aircraft. This is easier than our own production and design, and the investment is small and the effect is fast. Otherwise, we would not get so much support from relevant leaders. However, Mr. Wu scoffed at the idea of ​​some comrades that we should first produce parts and final assembly for others, and then develop our own large aircraft after we have learned the production of others. He never believed that foreign companies would be so kind to help us develop large aircraft.

However, what Mr. Wu didn't know was that the Eagle Sauce naturally had no good intentions, otherwise they would not have asked us to dismantle the production line of large aircraft and destroy the design data. The only mistake they made was that these people were too arrogant and thought that we could not master the manufacturing of large aircraft, which allowed us to learn a lot in those few years.

You should know that the large aircraft here generally refers to transport aircraft with a total take-off weight of more than 100 tons, including mainline passenger aircraft with more than 150 seats. Large civil passenger aircraft are the crown of the aviation industry, with the most complex technology, the highest quality requirements, and the greatest economic interests involved. Large passenger aircraft can solve problems that small aircraft cannot solve, can achieve economies of scale, achieve economic benefits, and alleviate the dilemma of overcrowded airports.

The success of our own large aircraft will make a qualitative leap in our air power and make our country more secure militarily. It is a bit unrealistic to put our own security in the hands of other countries. Even if others give it to you, there is no secret at all, and you dare to use it.

Fortunately, his large aircraft project received other funding. Although it was not from the state, as long as he could continue his research and it was domestic money, he would be quite satisfied. Fortunately, his new boss was extremely generous and his current funds were sufficient.

Moreover, one of the reasons why Mr. Wu agreed to stay here was because of Jiang Yan. In order to persuade him to stay, after Jiang Yan reported to his superiors and got approval, he read some of Jiang Yan's information. This information made Mr. Wu a little surprised. He did not expect Jiang Yan's resume to be so rich. What impressed him most was that he had participated in the development of a certain aircraft. With this foundation, there is basically no situation where an outsider guides an expert.

Compared with civilian aircraft, military transport aircraft is much easier to develop. All you need to do is invest money. The rest is done by the military! According to what Mr. Wu knows, large military transport aircraft have been developed very early. Although they did not take shape in the end, they have been studied for more than 10 years and were designed by a design institute in Changan. Since it was developed by the military itself, the personnel and design materials are well preserved. Most of the key design personnel studied abroad in Russia in the early days, and some even worked as engineers in some aviation bureaus in Russia and participated in the design of some transport aircraft. Otherwise, we have aircraft such as Yun- and Yun-. Mr. Wu still recognizes their research and development capabilities.

His main headache now is the deployment of personnel. After his communication, some of the workers with good skills naturally stayed in the new factory. With the addition of these workers, the small-scale production of those parts will be quite guaranteed in the future. As for the other workers, he just left it to them.

According to his statistics, at least 300 relevant personnel need to be transferred to the newly opened Jinmen factory in order to start the project. In order to start the project as soon as possible, he mobilized a large number of experts and scholars working on large aircraft, and also brought a group of their students. In this way, more than people were gathered. As for the rest, he could only mobilize other designers to supplement.

The state has given the green light to the deployment of relevant personnel. The state also knows that this is a rare opportunity! If someone wants to do this regardless of the cost, it will not work. A lot of money will be spent! That is really training talents for the country for free. They even agreed that students and teachers from Beihang and Nanhang would use Jiang Yan's new company as an internship base. All this is a good start.

However, simple personnel support is not enough. He doesn't know when the high-power presses and engines he needs can be manufactured. Without these large aircraft, it will still be a castle in the air. However, Jiang Yan told him that he would gradually solve these problems within five years. But Mr. Wu still didn't quite believe it. Take the BASS project for example. Five years may seem like a long time, but in fact it is a very short time for research and development, even for imitation. But seeing that he was so confident, Mr. Wu didn't say anything else.
