A big country of aerospace with black technology

Factory 703, a small state-owned material factory hidden in southern Shonan.

At the beginning of last year, there was even news that the factory was going bankrupt.

In less than a year, it suddenly became a super factory with an annual income of more than hundreds of millions of yuan and a net profit of nearly 100 million yuan.

I don't know how many people tried their best to leave the 703 factory, but now they are trying their best to come back.

Although most of the carbon fiber and carbon-carbon composite materials produced last year needed to be supplied to rocket engines and the J-10.

However, after the remaining materials are exported, they also create a lot of profits.

Carbon-carbon composite materials are not enough for the Rocket Research Institute's own rocket engines, and some need to be allocated for the J-10 engine turbofan-10, so there are not too many exports.

However, even for carbon fiber cloth used as the raw material-base embryo in composite materials, the overseas sales are still very high because of the low cost and high output brought about by the advanced preparation process.

Every kilogram of carbon fiber cloth can be sold at a profit of more than 200%.

The cost price is currently around 550 yuan per kilogram.

At the beginning, the workers in the 703 factory were not particularly familiar with the production process of high-strength carbon fiber cloth, and the production efficiency was not very high.

This caused the production cost of high-strength carbon fiber cloth to be higher in the early days than it is now.

"Director Hu, what is the progress of the first phase of the plant expansion project?"

Walking around the production lines in Factory 703, Zhang Xingyang asked Hu Deming who was accompanying him.

Because the follow-up, whether it is the YF-100 liquid oxygen kerosene engine or the WS-10 turbofan engine, a large amount of carbon-carbon composite materials will be required.

Therefore, the production capacity of the 703 factory needs to be expanded, otherwise it will be difficult to support the annual production of hundreds of YF-100 liquid oxygen kerosene engines and hundreds of WS-10 turbofan engines with the current production capacity.

The location of the new factory building is not very far from the current factory building of 703 factory, because the planned scale of 703 factory is very large.

At a time when various places are frantically attracting investment, it is very much valued by the local area.

A large-scale industrial land with an area of ​​more than 3,000 mu was directly given, and he also helped to complete the three links and one leveling work in the early stage.

Otherwise, if it is really a wasteland, Factory 703 needs to spend a lot of effort on road traffic, water supply, electricity supply, and site leveling.

"Now I just contacted the design institute to start the design work, and it is expected that the drawing will be completed within a month." Hu Deming replied.

"Have you found the construction unit?"

"After the new factory building is completed, new production techniques need to be used, and the requirements for the environment are higher than now, so the construction work of the factory building must not be sloppy!"

Zhang Xingyang stopped, stood in a corner of the factory and started communicating with Hu Deming.

"I contacted several construction units in this province, but none of them had any construction experience in this field, so they all rejected them."

Speaking of this, Hu Deming frowned a little.

At this time, although various aspects of the construction of the Great Inter Milan have already started in China, everyone generally builds various residences, office buildings, and shopping malls.

There is not enough experience in the construction of specialized high-standard industrial plants.

"If you can't find it in this province, you can look for it elsewhere. There should be many companies with construction experience in this area in East China and South China!"

Zhang Xingyang also frowned slightly at this time, he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find a company with construction experience in this field at this time.

"The new process has very high requirements on the ambient temperature, humidity, and cleanliness, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Dean Zhang, it's not very good to produce according to our current production process. The requirements for the factory building and workers are not so high."

Hu Deming still has some doubts about why the new production process should be promoted at this time:

"If we follow our current production process, we will soon be able to build a new production plant."

Zhang Xingyang also knew what Hu Deming was planning.

As the director of Factory 703, after experiencing the factory from dilapidated to hot, he is actually satisfied with the status quo of Factory 703 now, and he doesn't particularly want to make a fuss.

"The cost of the high-strength carbon fiber cloth we produce is still too high. If we can't continue to reduce the cost, then sooner or later we will be eliminated by other factories that develop lower-cost carbon fiber!"

Zhang Xingyang educated Hu Deming very seriously.

"Actually, the international carbon fiber preparation process has been developing and improving in the past few years, and the preparation costs of various major factories have been falling!"

Hu Deming doesn't know much about these things. To put it bluntly, he is just a factory director, and he doesn't know much about these cutting-edge international information.

"To tell you what you can feel, the international shipping price of carbon fiber cloth has been decreasing. From last year to now, the price per kilogram of carbon fiber cloth has dropped from about $280 to about $250."

Regarding this matter, Hu Deming has some not particularly clear feelings.

The person in charge of Snecma, who has been purchasing their high-strength carbon fiber before, complained when signing a new batch of supply contracts not long ago.

Snecma ordered such a large amount of carbon fiber, and the 703 factory did not even lower the price!

Now that Hu Deming heard some information from Zhang Xingyang about the cutting edge of carbon fiber, he already understood why the person in charge said that.

It should be a major international manufacturer, and at that time a certain price reduction was carried out.

Although compared with the price of 220 US dollars per kilogram of carbon fiber cloth produced by the 703 factory, the price of large factories in other countries is generally about 15% higher.

But compared to the nearly 30% price gap before, the price advantage is not so obvious!

"Of course, you don't need to be nervous. Even at the same price, the strength of our material is much higher than their carbon fiber cloth, and it has certain performance advantages!"

Zhang Xingyang looked at Hu Deming, who was frowning more and more tightly, and said.

"However, if the new factory building and new technology are put into use, then we will establish a huge price barrier!"

At this time, Hu Deming also developed a lot of curiosity about the new technology, and asked:

"Dean Zhang, after the new technology is put into use, how much can our cost be reduced?"

"Although the requirements of the new process have been improved a lot in various aspects, when producing carbon fiber cloth with the same strength, the cost per kilogram of carbon fiber cloth can be reduced from the current 550 to about 380!"

"The cost reduction is secondary. The key is that the production efficiency has been greatly improved. The output per hour of the same production line can be doubled!"

Zhang Xingyang looked at the shocked Hu Deming, and slowly said the answer!
