The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"Fly my plane to the sky?" Robert Short stared at Zhu Bin unexpectedly, then shook his head after a long pause, "No, no, no! I don't think this is a good idea! Mr. Zhu, you are an army commander, Flying a plane is another technical job, I don't think . . . "

Short tried his best to make his words more tactful, but he complained vigorously in his heart, what kind of joke are you making, you are an army officer flying a plane?Think this thing is a tractor or a car, so it can fly so easily?This request is a bit outrageous!

Zhu Bin laughed and said: "Look, I knew it was such a reaction, but don't underestimate my dear Mr. Short, I also came from the United States, not to mention airplanes, all mechanical things are hard to come by Me. Besides, it's just this slow, deadly plane...."

"Is he slow? I don't think so." Short shrugged and disagreed with his statement. "Except for the improved version of the lower wing that our company is experimenting with, I don't know anyone else in the world that is better than it."

"Oh? Has your company started developing a low-wing aircraft? Not bad! When will it be officially launched? If the performance is not bad, maybe I can buy ten or eight of them for fun." Zhu Bin grasped Xiao Xiao keenly. The news revealed in the special words, the eyes shone with excitement.

There was an embarrassing expression on Short's face. He kept saying that the 218 was the most advanced model, but he sold himself in the blink of an eye. This seemed a bit dishonest!

"Uh... it will take a little time. I think this is the most suitable for China's combat needs. After all, she is very mature, isn't she? Let's go back to the topic just now. What do you mean by the modification suggestion?" He hurriedly cut Stop talking, talk too much, leak commercial secrets!

Zhu Bin didn't hold on to it, and pulled out a drawing "shua shua shua" quickly and accurately outlined a near-perfect line drawing of the Boeing 218 fighter jet, pointing to the nose and saying: "I think the engine directly It is very dangerous to be exposed to the outside, and a drag-reducing cover should be added to completely isolate the engine from the outside world to improve safety, and a turbocharger device should be installed to increase the power of the engine.”

He pointed to the cockpit and said: "The open cockpit lacks proper protection. When flying at high speed, the cold wind will freeze the pilot half to death. A fully enclosed glass cockpit should be used. There should be a bulletproof mechanism around the flying seat to protect the pilot's body." It is safe, and the seat does not have the ability to eject. Once a danger occurs and it is too late to parachute, the pilot will encounter accidents. This is a very irresponsible design. In addition, the landing gear should be able to be retracted to reduce the drag coefficient, and it is shoulder-mounted I won’t talk about the single wing…”

Zhu Bin uttered seven or eight improvement plans in one breath, drawing while talking, so that Xiao Te almost popped his eyes out, and finally had to interrupt Zhu Bin to stare at him and asked: "Mr. Zhu, are you sure you An army officer? Not an aircraft designer?! How do you know so much about aircraft, even more than professionals in our company, it's incredible!"

The low-wing aircraft company is researching, but the current model still needs to be reinforced with steel wires, and he has never heard of a shoulder-mounted magic horse.The turbocharged engine company is indeed developing, but the increase in performance is far less than what Zhu Bin said; the encased engine cover has not been designed, and the fully enclosed cockpit cannot be used temporarily due to the problem of glass optical distortion; the ejection chair was released more than ten years ago. Some people have studied it, but it has not been successful.But it is not easy for Zhu Bin, an army, to know about these things. Judging by the way he draws sketches, it is obvious that he is very researched and even knows how to improve!

Zhu Bin enjoyed this amazed gaze very much, and smiled proudly: "What is this? Give me enough time, and I will design the fastest plane in the world! At least it must have a speed of [-] kilometers per hour. Enough to see!"

Xiao Te and Gong Lang rolled their eyes at the same time, this one seems to be too good at bragging, now the company's fastest test machine, XP-9, only has a speed of 340 kilometers per hour, which is already the limit of the engine, [-] kilometers... It's too exaggerated !Can the human eye still see clearly at that speed?

But just these, Short is already very excited, he has a strong premonition that if a brand new aircraft is manufactured in the way Zhu Bin said, it will be a huge breakthrough in terms of performance, speed, load, etc. Feiyue, at least helping the company surpass its competitor Curtis is not a problem at all!

"But..., this plane of mine is the company's standard product after all, and it cannot be damaged or changed casually. I can only say that it is a pity. Maybe we can find a chance to realize your idea in the future." Short put down the sketch reluctantly. A sales representative cannot make decisions casually.

But Gong Lang said with bright eyes: "My plane is still personal property! Mr. Zhu, can you help me improve it? Even if the speed is a little faster than now!"

"Of course no problem!" Zhu Bin patted him on the shoulder vigorously, almost slapped Gong Lang on the ground, and said cheerfully, "I'm the best at this kind of thing! Come on, let's take a closer look at the details of the plane first." I promise it will open your eyes!"

In the end, he still has to drive a lap first to enjoy himself!

Under Gong Lang's somewhat regretful and apprehensive gaze, Zhu Bin very impolitely left the guests behind and rushed to the big playground to climb onto the plane, urging people to get some usable gasoline from the city to add to it, and after a short while, let the plane take off Get up, after a short gliding, rushing up to the sky, followed by a burst of excited and crazy howls!

I have to say that Zhu Bin, the space junk guy, is really good at driving. He got a rough idea of ​​the aircraft's performance within ten minutes after he got started. With the unique flexibility of the biplane, it twisted in different patterns in the sky, and the sound of the engine turning vigorously made Xiao Te and Gong Lang's scalp tingle. I was really afraid that he would accidentally mess it up and fall down !

It wasn't until he ran out of gas that Zhu Bin reluctantly landed. His movements were too rough and his descent speed was too fast. Fortunately, the plane did not fall apart!

Zhu Bin panted heavily with a red face and laughed, "It's not bad! It's more stable than I imagined. Mr. Short, I can decide right now to buy twelve of these planes for the training of the Air Force of the Admiralty." Use the machine."

"Really?" Short was overjoyed, this is good news, much happier than the people of the National Air Force, but then he thought of the problem, "But Mr. Zhu, you said that the Volunteer Army is not even a regular army, how can you Make decisions for the Admiralty?"

Zhu Bin gritted his teeth: "What's the big deal? I will soon be the deputy director of the 'Navy Equipment Technology Research Institute' directly under the Ministry of the Navy, and I will also pay for the purchase of the plane!"

"Oh, if that's the case, I'm relieved!" Xiao Te didn't know that this so-called research institute didn't even have a brand and an office location, and it hadn't even been approved yet. It was just a proposal from Zhu Bin and Minister Chen Shaokuan. She's named as the deputy director, but it's true that she paid for it.

Short didn't understand the tricks at all. He only heard that "directly under the Ministry of the Navy" must be of a very high level. Zhu Bin is another expert in the field. His small reputation is also very famous in Shanghai. There are all kinds of legends in the newspapers. The report is a person, so he shouldn't tell lies to himself?

Probably!

The plane needed to be repaired and maintained. Short and Gong Lang lived in Jiading County first, and sent a telegram to Nanjing to explain the situation.Zhu Bin was excited about his work, and the efficiency was not so high. After scanning the three-dimensional structure of the plane, he directly and quietly borrowed the lifeboat to communicate with the container processing center to process some parts needed for improvement, and then had someone drive to the Shanghai Concession The old nest sent a letter to Liu Banxia, ​​asking him to buy some chemicals, such as explosives, and after all the parts were processed, they would be loaded and sent to Jiaxing.
