Chapter 814 Returning to Beijing
"Stability and quality!" Liu Hai said as he looked at the sorted process flow.

"Okay, boss!" The person in charge of the C101 aircraft assembly workshop nodded.

The reason why the production process must be stable and the quality must be guaranteed is because Liu Hai has seen too much in his previous life.

In the 90s, when Bald Eagle was producing Arleigh Burke destroyers, due to the huge demand, the upstream and downstream supply chains continued to increase production capacity. As a result, in the s, the capacity was cut down, leading to the bankruptcy of dozens of companies in the supply chain.

This is also the reason why the production of Arleigh Burke III destroyers is slow, as no company is willing to take the risk of increasing production.

So the cost of Arleigh Burke III keeps going up because all the parts suppliers are taking their time.

In fact, in the later stage of the Bald Eagle, the military-industrial complex only cared about producing products and making money, and as for performance and data optimization, that was all.

Later, the Bald Eagle F35 also faced such a problem. The global demand for the F35 is very high, but manufacturers, especially the engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, are not willing to increase production lines. They only have one production line and maintain a production of a few units per month.

It’s not that Pratt & Whitney does not have the ability to add production lines, but it has been cheated many times. Now adding production lines requires a large investment of money and workers.

Moreover, Pratt & Whitney does not produce its own products, but is an integrated manufacturer.

Parts for the 135 engine come from many suppliers in other countries around the world.

These suppliers are also unwilling to expand production blindly because some have already gone bankrupt. They are only willing to provide a considerable number of products according to the contract and plan.

Later, at the strong request of the Bald Eagle government, Pratt & Whitney increased production and accelerated its existing production line.

This leads to the frequent grounding of the F35, and sometimes problems even occur before the aircraft is delivered.

In addition, the F35 is still being produced and its design is being optimized, so Pratt & Whitney is also responsible for improving the production process.

This method has both advantages and disadvantages. Improvements in production technology mean that the engines are getting better and better, but it also means changes in the production line and that workers have to be retrained, increasing costs.

This also creates a bigger problem, which is that it is very likely that the engine produced a few years ago has broken down and some parts need to be repaired, but the current parts may not be universal.

But there is no way to stop and end the optimization, because not only the bald eagle needs it, but also other countries around the world need to deliver it.

Even the Bald Eagle military is unwilling to accept the f35.

As a user, of course, I know the consequences of increasing production on this existing production line, which is a thing with many problems. (A while ago, a plane crashed, and then both sides did not immediately investigate the accident, but shirked responsibility, because the plane was flying from the factory to the base. The factory said that we have handed it over to your pilot, and the military said that the plane had not yet arrived at the base.)
When producing these expensive products, be careful not to increase production at every turn.

Because such a result is likely to become a quality problem.

Each production line has its own production process, and Liu Hai also plans to set up a c101 production line first.

We will first use this production line to train enough skilled workers, and only when the internal and external conditions are sufficient will we open another production line.

Liu Hai took a rough look but didn't look at it carefully, because no one can remember the production process completely, and there are so many things involved, which are related to the assembly of every component.

"Very good!" Liu Hai nodded.

Then I looked around the factory, the dormitories, the cafeteria, and the sports field.

I looked at the airport again. There were two huge runways, one was 5 kilometers long and the other was 3.5 kilometers.

From the length of the airport, it can be seen that Liu Hai’s ambition is not just as simple as a passenger plane.

There is a DC10 passenger plane undergoing factory testing on the airport runway right now.

There are planes being tested here almost every day, and of course the right to use the surrounding airspace belongs to Heshun Airlines.

Even so, the Air Force must be reported in advance.

What makes Ma'anshan a little depressed is that although it has the longest airport runway in the country, unfortunately it does not have an airport.

So although the residents of Ma'anshan can see planes taking off and landing every day, if they want to catch a plane, they have to go to Nan Ge's place.

As for why we don’t go to Fatty’s place, it’s because it’s far away.

As for why we call Brother Nan “Brother Nan” and Fatty “Fatty Fatty”, isn’t that what we should do?

"The Yangtze River waterway has been widened a lot?" Liu Hai stood on the Heshun Airlines' dedicated dock and looked at the Yangtze River in front of him.

"Originally, the higher authorities were only planning to deepen the waterway. However, after deepening the waterway, the slopes of the dams on both sides changed, so it had to be widened again." The person in charge of Heshun Airlines spoke up nearby.

"How big a cargo ship can our port accommodate now?"

"Our port can now accommodate 5-ton cargo ships. I heard that the Three Gorges Project is about to start, and then 2-ton cargo ships will be able to go directly to the southwest."

"Ah."

"A 5000-ton cargo ship can go directly north to Kyoto via the Grand Canal."

"The locks of the Grand Canal and the Yellow River are being rebuilt and expanded to accommodate 10,000-ton cargo ships."

"It is said that this is also related to a water conservancy project that diverts water to the north. The Grand Canal has been continuously desilted over the years."

Liu Hai nodded, not expecting that these things were related to him.

Don’t underestimate this port. In the future, it will be most convenient for Heshun Airlines to export various things through here.

After dinner, Liu Hai left Heshun Airlines and returned to Kyoto.

"Dad!" The third child shouted when he saw Liu Hai coming back.

"What's the matter?"

"How about you buy me a private jet later?"

"If you can get into Oriental University, I will buy you one!"

"Well, I will definitely pass the exam. This old one will be given to my sister." The third child nodded.

"Third brother!" Xiaoyan jumped up when she heard this and chased after the third brother to beat him.

"To my second brother!"

Then, he was slapped hard by his junior sister: "We are not even dead yet, but you are already thinking about our property!"

"..."

Liu Hai also shook his head at the third child. He was smart, but sometimes too smart and didn’t use his smartness in the right place.

The next day, Liu Hai went to Sun Aiguo's office as soon as he got to work.

"Back from Hainan?" Sun Aiguo kept a few pots of flowers in his office. Now that he has retired to the second line, he has basically nothing to do, so he focuses on reading books and newspapers, and growing flowers and other things. "Well, these are fruits for you, the old factory director. They are all from our own orchard." Liu Hai carried a bag of dragon fruit and other fruits.

"You are not here just to give gifts so early in the morning, are you?" Sun Aiguo wanted to pour tea for Liu Hai, but Liu Hai made a cup of honeysuckle for himself.

"It's still about the Red Flag Canal. I have two ideas now." Liu Hai brewed the tea and placed it in front of himself, then sat down and spoke.

"Oh?" When Sun Aiguo heard this, he knew that it was probably not Liu Hai's own idea but probably the old leader, so he put down the teacup and prepared to listen attentively.

"I thought about it and there are two options. The first is to use the pumping model. The dam we build will generate electricity itself, and we will use pumps to pump water up and build reservoirs in the middle."

"After the water is pumped up, it can generate electricity when it flows into other reservoirs. I've seen a type of energy storage power generation in foreign countries, which means when electricity consumption is not at its peak, the excess electricity is used to pump water to reservoirs high in the mountains."

"When the demand for electricity increases, we can release water from the mountain reservoir to generate electricity."

"This can ensure the operation of the power grid and at the same time generate the greatest benefits to the greatest extent possible." Liu Hai said to Sun Aiguo while gesturing.

"I understand. It means using pumping water to climb over the mountains." Sun Aiguo understood it instantly.

"The second method is the stupid one, which is to use a tunnel boring machine to dig a tunnel directly."

"Of course, this is just my guess as an amateur. It still needs to be verified by relevant experts. I will invest in this project, no matter how much money it costs."

"When the time comes, build the roads that need to be built." The second method does not need to be explained in detail.

"I will report this matter immediately." Sun Aiguo nodded. He really needed to report this matter himself.

"On my way back, I went to Jinling for a visit." Liu Hai spoke again.

"Don't worry about this. The higher authorities have already made plans. As long as the C101's maiden flight is successful, the personnel and equipment will be incorporated into Heshun Airlines."

"In fact, your management regulations for Heshun Airlines are very scientific. Allowing the masses to participate in supervision is the best management method. Listen more to the masses' suggestions." Sun Aiguo certainly knew the management model of Heshun Airlines.

"Some factories are going bankrupt despite such a good environment!"

"I really don't know how these people did it." Sun Aiguo said again.

"Well, it's mainly due to personal relationships. A tacit understanding has been formed."

"You are right. I will go and report first." Sun Aiguo nodded.

Sun Aiguo went to his superiors to report the matter. When the leaders of the superiors heard that it was Comrade Liu Hai's suggestion, and thought about where Liu Hai had just returned from, they knew what it meant.

Besides, Comrade Liu Hai has promised to make all the investments himself, which will not put the leaders of the higher-level departments in a difficult position.

“Xiao Liu is simply…!” The superior department leader didn’t know what to say about his evaluation of Liu Hai.

If Liu Hai does not invest in higher authorities to push this matter forward, I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance.

It is foreseeable that this is a century-long project that requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

Investing such a large sum of money in this matter will cause many people to question it, because the results of this matter will not be so quick.

"Xiao Liu is still very responsible. This year he invested another 10 billion yuan in the charity fund for caring for girls. In addition, his wife also invested a large sum of money in the charity fund for major disease relief." Of course, Sun Aiguo had to shave his bangs and speak out these things.

Just because Liu Hai did it but didn't say anything doesn't mean Sun Aiguo won't say anything.

"Their approach is the best. It not only alleviates the financial pressure on our infrastructure, but also allows them to keep the profits without pocketing them. This is what the wealthy people in our country should do." The leader of the higher-level department nodded.

"I will immediately ask the water conservancy department to work overtime."

"Then I'll leave first!" Seeing that the work was done, Sun Aiguo left.

Liu Hai returned to work mode, and from time to time he communicated with some mysterious bosses through relevant departments in writing about matters concerning the power pile. During this period, Liu Hai also learned a lot.

Of course, these things can't do anything without materials.

The principle of mushrooms is actually not very complicated, the main thing is its materials.

Even if a small country can complete the design, it may not have the materials, because these materials require a huge price to obtain.

Small countries may not even be able to afford the electricity bills for their factories, let alone get the materials.

The structure of the power reactor is the same.

In fact, during this period, the management of these materials by Western countries and Big Brother was quite chaotic.

What happened to that naughty kid Hahn in 1995 speaks for itself. Of course, this guy was too dangerous. When he graduated from school, no one dared to hire him. Then he died of alcoholism in 2016.

But one thing that will happen this year is that the greatest actor of all time, the bald eagle, will meet Mr. Map, the fat bear, in the capital of Iceland.

"How do you do this thing?" Liu Hai looked at the stealth coating of the F35 in the aircraft carrier space.

This thing is definitely not something you can make by yourself. Even if you can measure the proportions of the various materials inside, it is still not easy to make.

"Should we set up a stealth material research department?"

"It seems that I still need to write a proposal to write down the development ideas of future stealth fighters."

"Historically, the Bald Eagle has already started developing the F22, which was finalized in 2001 and put into service in 2005. I just don't know if there are any Bald Eagles in this world?"

"There should be one. After all, the Bald Eagle is in urgent need of an aircraft to replace the F15."

"But the funny thing is that in 2020, the Bald Eagle Air Force still likes the F15 and has even developed the Super Eagle."

"This actually indirectly proves that the F22 has a big shortcoming."

So Liu Hai was thinking about how to write a proposal while doing other work.

On August 1986, 8, the semi-finals and finals of the first international video game competition were held in London, where more than 5 contestants from 21 countries around the world will compete.

Our country used satellite communications to broadcast the opening ceremony live.

This incident caused a huge response in London, especially in Europe.

Thanks to this incident, Panda Computer became a household name in Europe and was reported in newspapers and on television every day.

The youngest participant was 13 years old and the oldest was 52 years old.

The oldest contestant is a Xiaobenzi man, who is the president of a Xiaobenzi company.
