Chapter 679 Tianjiao Airlines
Tiger Airlines is located near Shuangyang Factory.
After the relocation of the third line was completed, a special aviation industrial park appeared near the provincial capital of your province. Shuangyang Factory and Yunma Factory all resettled here. They are directly related to half of the chickens in your province, and Now that Tianjiao Airlines is located here, it has become a new economic growth point.
Although Tianjiao Airlines appeared out of thin air, the one above it is the Mingzhou Group! The largest industrial group in the country, a multinational group!
Tiffany Airlines invested by Mingzhou Group went very smoothly from the initial approval to completion.
Of course, this also shows the hard work of the person in charge of the company.
Zhao Ling has quit the ranks of front-line R&D personnel and became Qin Tao's secretary. For a period of time, Qin Tao enjoyed the feeling of having his wife by his side. His wife followed him to do various things, and they flew together. .
However, after the cooperation with Motor Sich Company was reached, Zhao Ling became busy with the factory project, so the two began to spend less time together and more time apart.
Qin Tao is also helpless, but fortunately he is used to it and can feel relaxed without his wife. Of course, it would be better if he is with his wife.
After finishing a lot of things, Qin Tao came to your province to supervise the development of the aviation industry. Of course, he also wanted to see his wife.
Zhao Ling is now dressed in OL professional attire, a light-colored waisted suit top, and a dark shirt underneath. This reverse color combination makes her look more elegant. Below is a bag A hip skirt, paired with flesh-colored stockings and high heels, this look is noble and elegant, and it also makes Qin Tao's eyes shine. This is the dress tonight.
In this day and age, suits are still very popular. Looking at the eight wolves logo on the clothes, Qin Tao knew that these were clothes specially designed for his wife by his mother's professional designers.
"Brother Tao, have you seen enough?" Seeing Qin Tao staring at her intently, Zhao Ling felt happy. Although the two had known each other for several years, they didn't have the seven-year itch. Her husband was so hot. The look in her eyes made her feel very accomplished.
However, it is not suitable now, because besides Zhao Ling, there are other people at the scene.
In terms of figure, Zamotaeva is even hotter, and now, she is also wearing a high-end eight wolves suit, but she chose a more high-profile light green, and it is not buttoned, and the white tube top underneath is directly Exposed to the outside, that bumpy figure is a beautiful sight.
However, Qin Tao seemed to ignore her existence, which made her a little dissatisfied. Wasn't she beautiful enough? Or is it that Mr. Qin is devoted to his wife?
“Well, I stopped by today just to see how the construction of our Tianjiao Company is going and when it will start.” Qin Tao corrected his mentality. At this time, it is not suitable to think about other things.
"Qin, the construction speed here is so fast, it shows me what Eastern speed is." Zamotayeva said excitedly: "So far, all workshops, warehouses, office buildings, and even staff dormitories have , have already been built, if it were in our place, it would take at least three years!"
This is the strength of the infrastructure maniacs in the East!
"We are currently bidding and testing raw materials, and we are also waiting for equipment debugging and workers to move in. In about a month or two, our production will be able to start normally, and the initial production capacity will be able to reach a monthly output of more than ten engines. In the later period, the monthly production may increase to more than 30 units." Zhao Ling said: "Now, I think we must find more buyers, otherwise our production capacity is likely to be overcapacity."
It is said to be an engine production plant here, but it is actually a parts production and assembly plant. If an engine factory wants to smelt from rough parts, the business will be too big and the investment will be huge. However, the domestic aviation industry is developing rapidly now, and various The blanks can be produced by oneself, and there is no need to import them at all. Raw materials can even be purchased through bidding.
“Well, that is to say, our engine factory will soon enter normal production. Not bad, not bad!” Qin Tao nodded.
Zhao Ling was a little curious, why did Brother Tao ignore the point of what he said?
In the cooperation with Motor Sich Company, a large number of old workers will be hired on the production line. Therefore, as long as the equipment is debugged and the raw materials are purchased, production can be started directly. The monthly output of this kind of engine can reach ten units. , that means that the monthly production of supporting L-15 trainer aircraft must reach five. If the production is expanded to 30 in the future, the monthly production of L-15 will have to become fifteen. Can they afford it? ?
If we can’t eat it, won’t we have overcapacity?
However, she just had such a question running through her mind. Since Qin Tao didn't answer, there was no need to ask further. Anyway, she had plenty of time to talk to him alone.
"Mr. Qin came to inspect? That's great! Where is Mr. Qin?" At this moment, a voice came from outside the office, and a technician in his forties came in.
"Mr. Qin, I am chief engineer Igor Kravchenko. Many of the production equipment you provide are much higher than what we use ourselves. Moreover, some of your blanks are of higher quality than what we produce. Even higher, we are confident that using the blanks you provide, we can produce a more advanced AI-222 engine." The old man's face was full of excitement.
Jointly building a factory, one side provides people and technology, and the other side provides funds and space, it is beneficial to both parties no matter how you look at it. The production management talent provided by Ermao is Zamotayeva, and the technical staff provided is Igor Kra Vchenko, he originally worked as a production engineer at the Motor Sich factory, and was later transferred here. Now, he is very satisfied here.
“That’s good, our Tianjiao Company must produce an engine whose performance is not inferior to the advanced engines in the West, especially its lifespan. The more it can be improved compared to the original version, the better.”
The training aircraft must be used frequently, and the longer the service life, the better.
“Yes, we are confident!”
“So, would you please take me to the production line to have a look?”
Kravchenko nodded: "Okay, let's first take a look at the fuel nozzle made with 3D printing technology. It's really amazing!"
In the East, after several years of development, 3D printing technology has finally left the laboratory and begun to move towards practical applications. Now, some parts of aerospace engines are also using 3D printing technology, especially in maintenance, some damaged parts In this way, the parts will be rejuvenated.
For Kravchenko, this technique is so amazing. He has never seen it before. Now, he is full of excitement.
Qin Tao also felt a burst of emotion in his heart. He had already gained confidence that all these ermao would have to stay in the East. After all, compared with their hometown, the wages here are higher, the benefits are better, and there are more advanced technologies. attract them.
After inspecting the production line, it was already evening.
"Mr. Qin, this is your first time to inspect Tianjiao Airlines. We have to celebrate it tonight." Zamotayeva said tentatively: "How about we hold a dinner party?"
“No.” Qin Tao shook his head: “I can’t drink recently.”
“Why? Are you feeling unwell?”
“No, I have to prepare for the second child.”
Zhao Ling's smile was as bright as a flower. She was very happy that her man used this excuse to reject others.
"Zamotaeva, let's see you tomorrow." Qin Tao waved his hand and left with his wife.
Zhao Ling also lives in the staff dormitory. However, the dormitories here are all apartment-style and very modern. Each apartment has one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The accommodation conditions are compared to those of Lao Maozi's He Luxiao. Fulou is many times better.
As soon as he closed the door behind him, Qin Tao put his arms around his wife.
“Why worry, the night is still long.” Zhao Ling said with a smile: “Brother Tao, how about we have a drink?”
Before Qin Tao could answer, Zhao Ling had already opened the red wine bottle on the side and poured out two glasses of wine.
Qin Tao took the wine glass: "Shall we have a drink? Is there any candlelight to brighten the atmosphere?"
Zhao Ling shook her head: "Of course not. Let's talk about it while drinking. How do you plan to digest such a large production capacity?"
"Are you still worried about this? What is there to worry about?" Qin Tao looked at his wife: "When the L-15 training aircraft from the 320 Factory is developed, it will definitely become a hot commodity in the international market. This It is no problem to sell dozens or even hundreds of training aircraft every year. After all, trainer aircraft are cheap and cost-effective to purchase, and they can also carry bombs for bombing when needed."
Qin Tao is confident in L-15.
This kind of trainer aircraft is among the most urgently needed high-education aircraft in the international market. It can simulate various flight characteristics of third-generation aircraft. With it, there is no need to train on the two-seat model of third-generation aircraft, which greatly saves the cost of third-generation aircraft.
In later generations, he remembered that the order for this kind of AI-222 was only 600 units. Such a large scale is enough to show how well this kind of aircraft sold. That was still the 21st century, and it is not yet the new millennium, and the market for such aircraft is even greater.
“But that won’t be able to absorb our production capacity!” Zhao Ling was still a little worried.
"As for this, tomorrow you and I will go for a walk around Yunma Factory and you will gain confidence. Now, I am no longer interested in this glass of wine. How about we study the secrets of the human body together?"
the next day.
Zamotaeva sprayed another perfume on herself and waited for Qin Tao's arrival, but Qin Tao did not come, and neither did Zhao Ling.
"What's going on? Mr. Zhao has never been late. Could it be that last night..." Thinking of this, Zamotaeva's heart started to stir.
“Xiao Wang, is Mr. Zhao not here yet?” Zamotayeva asked immediately when she saw Zhao Ling’s secretary passing by.
“Mr. Zhao and Mr. Qin went out together today. I don’t know where they went.”
out?
Zamotaeva looked at the spring scenery outside the window, her eyes full of depression.
Yunma Factory.
Zhao Ling had a smile on her face. During the time when she was working as a secretary for Qin Tao, she had come to Yunma Factory and saw the large drone under development. However, at that time, she was Unexpectedly, this large drone uses the non-afterburner version of the AI-222 engine.
Small-thrust jet engines are also widely used. In addition to trainer aircraft, they can also be used on drones, cruise missiles, etc. However, cruise missiles are disposable, while drones need to be used multiple times. Therefore, installing AI-222 on a drone will not be wasted.
Standing in front of this large drone, Qin Tao was also very satisfied.
“When I came here last time, it was just a wooden model. Now it’s the first metal prototype. Not bad, you are making rapid progress.” Qin Tao said.
"Yes, Mr. Qin, this is the flagship product of our Yunma Factory in the future. How can we not work hard." Zhang Wanhe said: "Of course, this is also thanks to the Goose Factory. Their research and development is even more powerful. At present, this The automatic control system, navigation system, reconnaissance system, etc. on the drone are all provided by them. Now the main problem is that the engine problem has not been solved."
Looking at the propeller at the tail, Zhang Wanhe always felt that something was missing.
“I am here to coordinate with you to replace the propeller engine with our Genghis Khan AI-222 engine.” Qin Tao said, “In this way, it will be almost the same as the Global Hawk.”
AI-222? Zhang Wanhe suddenly reacted: "Yes, although that engine is for a training aircraft and has afterburner, as long as the afterburner is removed, it is almost enough for us to use!"
In the past, he did not think about this aspect, but now he finally realized it, and he felt excited in his heart.
Their large drone is aimed at the Global Hawk. This is a path pointed out to them by President Qin. However, there is a lack of domestic aviation engines, so they cannot find a suitable turbofan engine and can only use propellers. Now, it is just in time for Genghis Khan's engines to be supplied.
“Our second prototype can be equipped with this engine. I hope Tianjiao Aviation can provide us with detailed parameters so that we can start research and development immediately.” Zhang Wanhe looked at Zhao Ling.
Zhao Ling nodded immediately: "Of course, I can give you all the data. If necessary, we can also send technical personnel over."
“It’s better for the technical staff to discuss it later, until the factory stabilizes,” Qin Tao said.
Everything must be guarded. What if a jealous Ermao sees that we have installed AI-222 on multiple aircraft and starts to have other ideas? It is better to put it into production first. When the production here stabilizes, those people will not be able to do anything even if they want to do something.
“In the international market, there is also a lot of demand for this kind of long-distance drones with long range. We can easily sell dozens or even hundreds of them a year.” Qin Tao said.
A large UAV requires an engine, which means that the orders for the AI-222 engine will be dozens or even hundreds more per year. In this way, the production capacity is almost enough.
Furthermore, Qin Tao must have more than just these plans, and there are others. Therefore, since Tianjiao Aviation's engine production has begun, it will continue to be produced continuously, and there will never be a situation where the products cannot be sold.
“The goose factory actually played a big role in this?” Zhao Ling continued to ask curiously.
"Yes, take autonomous driving technology as an example. This must be coordinated with high-precision digital maps." Zhang Wanhe said: "Currently, Goose Factory is developing advanced vehicle navigation systems and has mapped all regions in the country. , has established a high-precision digital map and is currently expanding it to the world. After all, their car navigation system is to be sold all over the world. In this way, they have also mapped many foreign cities. With this high-precision With precise digital maps, coupled with the global positioning system, our drones can accurately determine where they are and plan routes at any time."
Zhao Ling frowned: "Vehicle navigation actually has such high military value? Should we oppose this technology? This will expose us to danger!"
"This is the inevitable result of the development of science and technology. Our goose factory is private and their research and development projects are for the benefit of mankind. Take car navigation as an example. The emergence of this technology has greatly improved the convenience of people's travels. , no matter you go to any unfamiliar city, you will never get lost. Car navigation systems will also become an important market in the future, and whoever lays it out first will have an advantage."
At present, the United States has opened up the GPS signal for civilian use, so the satellite positioning system has been used by civilians. However, this system only determines a location coordinate. The specific location must be matched with the map.
With a high-precision digital map and a big screen, you can know where you are at any time, and you will not encounter danger even if you enter various small alleys.
It’s just that using it on drones is still new to many people.
Zhao Ling intuitively believed that this thing was dangerous, but Qin Tao didn't care. He knew that this was a trend and could not be stopped. Needless to say, it was just a digital map now, and he would drive a car full of cameras in the future. There will be enough civilian reasons for running around. Technology is developing and advancing.
Since you can't stop it, you should seize the commanding heights yourself. In this regard, Goose Factory has done a good job and has not let itself down! As long as you have an idea for many things, they will invest their energy in research and development.
“So, what about the investigation system? It was also developed by Goose Factory? Is this also a private technology?”
"Yes." Zhang Wanhe sighed with emotion: "The first function of our drone is reconnaissance, which requires advanced sensors. Goose Factory proposed to use the newly popular CCD sensor, which is cheap and Performance is pretty good.”
Seeing that Zhao Ling didn't understand, Zhang Wanhe continued: "It's actually a digital SLR camera with automatic focus, 2 million pixels."
In the 1990s, film cameras began to decline. Only those professional fans would choose them. Ordinary people preferred to use digital cameras, which were cheap and had advanced performance. Of course, the price of more than 10,000 yuan was not cheap, but it depends on how you look at it. Compared with those military devices, it is definitely cheap.
This year, the most eye-catching thing is Canon's first digital SLR camera: Canon D2000, which was jointly built with Kodak. It uses an APS-C level CCD sensor and has 2 million pixels.
In an era when later generations often claim 100 million pixels, 2 million pixels seems to be scum. However, those so-called 100 million pixels are all bragging, but 2 million pixels are real. It means that the pictures obtained are as clear as 1080P. Spend.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, the performance of civilian electronic equipment is an order of magnitude higher than that of military equipment. If we want this drone to have high enough capabilities, we can use it boldly for civilian use."
“Two million pixels is a lot, but for a military-grade reconnaissance equipment, isn’t this clarity enough?” Zhao Ling questioned.
“Yes, only one is not enough, but Goose Factory has successfully integrated four digital cameras, which can be spliced into a large picture at any time if necessary.”
Four integrated! In this way, the search ability will of course be greatly improved! Zhao Ling nodded: "Their plan is good."
"Yes, but being able to search for images is only one aspect. The next step is data compression and transmission. They have researched a new algorithm that can compress data to one-tenth of the previous one without damaging the quality of the original image. .”
These are all technologies used on the Internet. If you want the Internet to transmit photos, at the current Internet speed, the smaller the photos, the better. The Internet needs various advanced algorithms.
RAR cannot be used for image compression. It has a special set of algorithms, which roughly calculates everything near a certain pixel that has the same color as it as a point. This way it takes up less storage space and the recovery will not be affected.
“Not only that, they are also currently developing a new calculation method that can automatically identify targets and automatically lock on high-value targets.” Zhang Wanhe continued.
Cooperating with Goose Factory is the most correct choice for them. Goose Factory has advanced technology and active thinking.
Even if the data is compressed, the amount of data is still very large, which also puts a great burden on the drone operators and image recognition personnel behind. Therefore, the technicians of the Goose Factory came up with the identification method. Way.
Qin Tao was also impressed: "Yes, the Goose Factory is indeed a model of our pioneering and enterprising spirit. However, these advanced technologies can only be used by ourselves, and we do not export them."
This target recognition technology is very useful. It means that drones have entered the intelligent era.
For example, if you want to search for an enemy aircraft carrier formation on the vast sea, if there is no such technology, the relevant personnel will have to stare at the screen all the time. With this technology, then set the target to be detected, and then wait. That's it.
Such high-end technology cannot be exported casually.
“Yeah.” Zhang Wanhe nodded.
