Zhang Wenhao took the initiative to research and develop military aircraft engines. This was definitely a great thing for Director Liu. Every time he received instructions from his leader, he felt like he was going out to negotiate a big deal on behalf of the company. Whether the contract can be signed or not depends almost entirely on negotiating with Zhang Wenhao by himself. Fortunately, Zhang Wenhao has been very helpful every time, and important matters have never been missed. This time, Director Liu was even more happy and grateful.
The Taihang production line is of great significance to the country. It stands to reason that this kind of organization is almost entirely supported by government funding and has always been the core of the country's military industry. It is also a very confidential department. However, Director Liu is not worried about Zhang Wenhao's request at all. Will be rejected by superiors, because once Dongchen wants to get involved in this field, it will inevitably come up with products that are countless times better than Taihang. By that time, Pratt & Whitney in the United States will be in vain, let alone Taihang, so Taihang will Give the whole thing to Zhang Wenhao, and then let him be responsible for producing top-notch aircraft engines for the military. This deal is very cost-effective.
Immediately, Director Liu said: "By the way, Wen Hao, can you give me an approximate cycle? How long will the entire research and development take? How long will it take for the samples to actually come off the production line and be submitted to the military for testing?"
Zhang Wenhao thought for a moment and said: "It will take at least a few months. The most important thing is that the Taihang production line needs to be moved. After all the moves are moved to Zhonghai, Dongchen will have to refit the old production line."
Director Liu nodded and said: "This speed is already very fast! I believe the senior leaders will be very happy with this news."
Immediately, Director Liu said again: "In addition to giving me instructions this time, the senior leaders also asked me to convey a message. You have done a very good job in the iron ore matter, which is equivalent to helping the country's entire industrial system to establish a strong The cost protection is of great significance.¡±
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "Please help me convey my gratitude to the leaders for their praise."
Officer Liu patted Zhang Wenhao on the shoulder and said: "You are now the backbone of our domestic economy, and the senior leaders don't want to put any pressure on you, so although they really want to meet you, considering your current situation, the senior leaders I am still happy to let you develop on your own without any interference in your development route."
Zhang Wenhao nodded. This is what he wants. He will never touch politics, let alone political forbidden areas. Within the framework of domestic laws and regulations, he will try his best to do his own thing well, and also This is Zhang Wenhao's biggest wish. If too much political pressure is placed on himself, he may be willing to retire early to enjoy life.
Developing military engines is not a problem for Zhang Wenhao. As long as the hardware meets the standards, it can be produced. Zhang Wenhao was not prepared to get involved in this field too early for fear that what he did would bring more negative effects on the international situation. In peacetime, if weapons bring additional pressure, it may not be a good thing. However, the most important thing now is that other developed countries have begun to work hard to develop higher-end products. If the East If Chen doesn't take action, the country's air force strength will fall behind due to the growth of others. In this case, Dongchen can no longer stand idly by.
There are so many private industries, but only industrial manufacturing can reach such a high level, which can directly affect the strength of a country and the situation among countries around the world. For Dongchen, although Dongchen Aviation is not the most profitable subsidiary, it is They are definitely the most significant companies. Although Apple in the United States and Samsung in South Korea are extremely profitable, their influence on the overall situation is far inferior to companies like Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. If Dongchen Aviation starts to get involved With the design and production of military engines, Dongchen Aviation's influence on the overall situation will far exceed that of other military industrial enterprises.
However, Zhang Wenhao himself also has his own concerns. The military industry is of great significance. No matter which country he is in, it will inevitably be strictly controlled by the state. If Dongchen really transforms into a military industry enterprise, then the senior leaders will not give Zhang Wenhao the status he has now. degree of freedom, when the time comes, I am afraid that I will be trapped in a cocoon. Thinking of this, Zhang Wenhao suddenly came up with an idea in his mind, which is to imitate Boeing's model and completely divide Dongchen Airlines into two independent operations, with no middle ground. It has nothing to do with the companies involved. One section is Dongchen Aviation, which faces the global market and produces civilian engines without getting involved in any political aspects. The other section is to transform Shen Fa's production line into A completely closed sector, this sector only serves the country, and all products produced are also under the control of the state. If in the future this enterprise is too important in the eyes of the top management and supervision must be strengthened, then I will simply put this company under control. The entire section was given up, and Zhang Wenhao had no regrets in giving up, as long as it would not affect Dongchen's other regular affairs.Zhang Wenhao has no objections to the operation of the military industry. He must be prudent and protect himself. This is a principle that Zhang Wenhao has set for himself before he truly entered the military industry.
One enterprise, the development of multiple sectors, and the division of two properties are a very practical route for Dongchen's next step. An enterprise will naturally continue to proceed from the perspective of Dongchen Group, and all subordinate industries will belong to it. In order to serve the group, and to develop in multiple sectors, Zhang Wenhao is now continuously establishing sub-groups, such as Dongchen Pharmaceutical, Dongchen Automobile, Dongchen Aviation and Dongchen Electronics. The two natures are divided from At the root, distinguish all the sections you own. Some sections are your own, and some sections, although they are established and grown by yourself, are fundamentally owned by the country.
If this idea and route are guaranteed and strictly implemented, it is not impossible for Dongchen to directly participate in military manufacturing in the future. It only needs to integrate all enterprises involved in military industry under the same nature. Once it notices that the wind direction has changed, He immediately withdrew without hesitation and handed over everything to the state.
After thinking about this principle, Zhang Wenhao suddenly thought of a plan that he had already brewed but didn't know whether it could be realized. If he really officially got involved in the research and development and production of military industry, maybe his plan would be realized soon.
Therefore, Zhang Wenhao looked at Officer Liu and asked, "Is the military interested in higher-end radar equipment?"
Director Liu was just like Zhang Wenhao, lowering his head to figure out his own thoughts. Suddenly he heard Zhang Wenhao say such a sentence and almost jumped up in fright.
Radar equipment? ! Oh my god, how could Zhang Wenhao be so proactive and ask about such a critical area?
In modern fighter jets, three parts are the most important: power part, firepower part, and avionics part. The first two are very easy to understand. As for the avionics part, the main thing is radar. With super powerful radar, even so-called stealth aircraft will be meaningless. With super powerful radar, both sides can take the lead in air combat. Discovering the enemy and launching an attack first is definitely an area of ??great strategic significance. Why has China been sparing no effort in developing early warning aircraft? The reason is that the early warning aircraft can provide stronger radar assistance. To put it bluntly, it has a stronger visual range and a broader and more detailed control of the battlefield. All of this is based on radar.
Officer Liu asked with a look of disbelief: "Dongchen has enough radar technology?"
Zhang Wenhao said: "This can be developed. Based on our current strength in the electronic field, many of our strengths can be transplanted. We can develop radars with stronger performance and fire control systems with more powerful processing capabilities. You must also know Chen¡¯s accomplishments in processors.¡±
Officer Liu said excitedly: "If possible, of course it would be a great thing! If you have any needs, just ask. I think the senior management will be willing to disclose all the parameters and technical secrets of the existing radar to Dongchen. .¡±
"No need." Zhang Wenhao said: "Dongchen will not develop secondary development on the basis of others. As for the radar, it is enough for us to develop it ourselves. I am just saying hello to you. When the time comes, the radar will start together with the engine. I believe it will significantly improve the combat effectiveness of the domestic air force."
Director Liu said happily: "Wen Hao, you are just like the Doraemon in Japanese cartoons! You really get what you want!"
Zhang Wenhao secretly smiled in his heart. He mastered too much military technology. Engines and radars were only a small part. Apart from that, rocket thrusters and advanced guidance technology were nothing to Dongchen. Even, with With Dongchen's current manufacturing capabilities, it would not be a problem to build its own satellites and launch vehicles. In fact, Zhang Wenhao himself had been coveting satellites for a long time, and the plan he had started brewing earlier was related to satellites.
In China, it is basically a dream for ordinary companies to launch their own satellites. Let alone building their own launch vehicles, it is very difficult to even build their own satellites. The demand for satellites in general civilian fields, such as communications, television broadcasting and other fields, requires The country has strict approval procedures. Basically, only state-owned enterprises are eligible to apply. After applying, they still need to purchase satellites or entrust specialized enterprises and institutions to design and produce them. Once the satellites are available, it still costs expensive funds to be carried by the country. rocket companies to achieve launch.
General satellite TV only has the financial resources to rent a band from the launched communication satellites. Communication companies across the country do not have their own communication satellites. All satellite support must rely on satellite communications groups. It can be said that renting a band is enough. It is extremely cumbersome. If you want to launch a satellite yourself, it is simply as difficult as going to the sky. And a satellite is almost meaningless to Zhang Wenhao.
Zhang Wenhao¡¯s desire for satellites is not because he is committed to the communications industry.??This industry does not require high-end technology at all. For Zhang Wenhao, this industry does not pose any challenges. In addition, most of the people running this industry are state-owned giants, and it is difficult for him to get in and get a share of the pie. The satellite Zhang Wenhao wants is a positioning satellite, which is of great significance to Dongchen's future development.
Among today's positioning systems, there are many mainstream satellite positioning systems, such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and the domestic Beidou system. Each system is supported by its own satellite matrix. GPS is supported by 24 satellites, and GLONASS is supported by 24 satellites. Nass also has 24 satellites, and there are even more satellites as backup. Beidou has more than 35 satellites.
However, in Zhang Wenhao¡¯s eyes, any satellite positioning system in the world has many shortcomings. The first is the problem of signal coverage, the second is the problem of positioning accuracy, and third, there is no truly three-dimensional global positioning system.
The so-called truly three-dimensional global positioning system is a very high-end technology in the future. It will densely segment the entire earth surface in a flat manner with an accuracy within a square centimeter. The so-called dense segmentation means that, The entire global surface will be composed of horizontal lines with a density less than 1 cm and vertical lines with a density less than 1 cm, which have similar meanings to longitude and latitude. However, due to such dense division, the distance from each point to the adjacent point, They are all within one centimeter, and the positioning accuracy is also within one centimeter.
And this is just plane cutting.
One of the biggest problems with plane cutting is that everything is based on the earth's surface. If you stand at an altitude of one thousand meters and use GPS, the GPS will report the altitude based on the altitude of the ground under your feet. But if you are at an altitude of one thousand meters, the GPS will report the altitude. If you use a hot air balloon to rise to an altitude of two thousand meters above sea level, the positioning system will not be able to distinguish this altitude, because it can only cut planes and cannot achieve three-dimensional cutting.
The technology that Zhang Wenhao has coveted for a long time is three-dimensional cutting technology, which can accurately segment the entire three-dimensional space from the surface of the world to an altitude of 30,000 meters with a density of less than one centimeter. This is equivalent to plane segmentation. Every centimeter of rise requires another cut. From the advanced point of view, no one believes that this technology can be realized, because in their eyes, the transmission of satellite signals is point-to-point, and satellite signals can be transmitted from orbit to the ground. , but this transmission process cannot be cut.
If Zhang Wenhao can build an extremely advanced three-dimensional navigation system, it can not only be used on Dongchen cars, but most importantly, it can be used on future Dongchen aircraft. If such a system is used, the aircraft will be able to fly anywhere. For a location and altitude, you can determine your most accurate location and altitude through the navigation system.
In this way, it will not only make the flight route of the aircraft more accurate and improve the efficiency of the air route, but most importantly, it can further realize the unmanned driving of the aircraft and the entire unmanned takeoff and landing, even in the case of complete lack of visibility. , the aircraft can also achieve precise takeoff and landing. This accuracy is far higher than the pilot's ability.
By that time, drivers of Dongchen cars will be able to obtain navigation services with an accuracy of one centimeter. If an aircraft is equipped with a Dongchen navigation module, it will be able to conduct extremely accurate navigation in any airspace below 30,000 meters above sea level in the world. To fly blindly, you only need to enter the accurate route coordinates, and the aircraft will fly the entire route exactly without any errors, whether in plane orientation or vertical height. It can accurately find the runway and master the runway. The actual altitude, even if it is blocked by thick fog, the aircraft does not need any ground guidance. It can accurately sense every centimeter of descent. It can follow the prefabricated route and aim at the center of the runway in the thick fog, and can approach the runway when approaching. When on the runway, it can achieve a precise descent that no one can achieve, and it can be accurately sensed one millimeter before touching the ground. With the support of this system, civil aviation will no longer be affected by any visibility.
If only Dongchen's aircraft are equipped with this system, then there will be an obvious polarization in civil aviation in the future. For example, if the visibility at New York Airport drops to less than 100 meters on a certain day, highways will inevitably be closed. Under the sight of the road, all inbound and outbound flights, whether they are Boeing planes, Airbus planes or even regional passenger planes, will be suspended. Departing flights from New York Airport will be delayed indefinitely and will not be released until visibility meets standards. And those planes that are preparing to go to New York will also be delayed indefinitely. Those planes that are already on the way, or are about to approach New York, will have to choose other alternate airports for backup. However, in this case, there is only one kind of aircraft. It is Dongchen's aircraft that can take off and land without being affected by visual distance.
All other planes are lying on the nest in place, waiting for God to scatter the fog, a large number of passengers stay, but the flight where Dongchen planes are on duty will take off and land as usual, and it will not be affected. This is not affected. This is not affected.From a personal perspective, it is definitely a huge gap. If it also wants to use this system, no problem, just pay for it.
Once a positioning system forms global coverage, its stable satellite positioning signals can support unlimited terminal devices. After all, satellites do not need to directly provide services to terminal devices. They are only responsible for transmitting signals. Whoever owns the terminal can read it. Just like a satellite TV signal, whoever buys a pot cover can receive it.
However, Zhang Wenhao will never make this system an open system. He will encrypt the signals and even encrypt the terminal hardware to ensure that no one can use Dongchen's positioning system without approval. , and also ensures that no single manufacturer can produce Dongchen¡¯s positioning terminal equipment.
By that time, Dongchen Positioning's terminals will be sold in two different sections. One is a ground flat terminal, which can be used for vehicles or people. However, it will not provide any actual altitude support. All altitude data will be based on Based on the ground altitude, this kind of terminal will serve as the basic mass positioning service, and the module can be implanted into Dongchen automobiles and Dongchen electronic equipment terminals; the other section is the three-dimensional terminal used for flight. This kind of terminal The significance is too great.
Civil aviation is one aspect, and the military is also another aspect. There are generally only two methods for measuring aircraft altitude in the world. One is that the aircraft itself uses pitot tubes and static pressure holes to actually measure the altitude at this time. This is more accurate and has a smaller error. Small, but the error within one centimeter is still a thousand miles away. In addition, ground radar testing is used, using the oldest radar, to calculate the altitude and speed of the aircraft through radar reflection waves. The error is extremely large. We can't even guarantee ten meters.
And only Dongchen can do all this. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature registered members to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
