Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Chapter 845: Number one in the world, the beginning of the rise of China’s military industry

C919 models, Wuzhen-4, J-10 fighter jets and other products are all popular objects at this Imperial Capital Air Show.

However, this is on the premise that Venus Technology’s Kunpeng heavy transport helicopter did not participate in the exhibition.

Kunpeng has become completely famous on the Internet in the past two days. The star booth at the Imperial Capital Air Show is naturally the booth of Venus Technology.

Whether it is the Kunpeng or the Scorpion drone, or the Golden Eagle unmanned helicopter, they are all very advanced products.

Not to mention leading the world, at least it is invincible domestically.

"Mr. Cao, you are very courageous. I heard that Kunpeng just completed the assembly a few days ago, and you dared to fly directly to the imperial capital."

Aerospace technology is not the protagonist today, but Qian Junfeng also came here to visit the Venus Technology booth.

He is also very curious about Kunpeng's product.

Many parts of the aerospace industry are intertwined, and Qian Junfeng naturally knows that China has been unable to solve the problem of imitating the "Chinook" despite all its efforts.

Now that Venus Technology has developed such a heavy-duty transport helicopter, he must be going to actually experience it.

The general audience can only take a look at Kunpeng's domineering appearance from around the guardrail, but special characters like Qian Junfeng can definitely go inside Kunpeng and experience it.

Now Cao Yang personally accompanied Qian Junfeng into Kunpeng.

Not to mention, although Kunpeng was developed based on the CH-47, many internal things have nothing to do with the CH-47.

Whether it is various instruments, flight controls, or night vision systems, they are all self-developed products of Venus Technology.

At most, Cao Yang helped provide some information.

"This shows that our technical team is very confident in the products they have developed."

"It also shows that Kunpeng's structural safety factor is very high. Even if an accident occurs, it can ensure a safe landing."

If Cao Yang's arrangement this time has no risk at all, it must be false.

After all, no one is sure whether there were any accidents during the prototype production stage.

But in terms of results, the situation is still very optimistic.

"Such a thing can happen at Daystar Technology, but if it were done by AVIC, they would definitely not have the guts."

Qian Junfeng himself is a member of the system and is very clear about the relevant situation.

As the person in charge of an enterprise of this nature in aerospace technology, they have many things to consider.

Before making a decision, it is more often necessary to consider the stability of the position below your butt.

Unlike Cao Yang, there is no need to worry about being fired. He only needs to think about how to make the company bigger and stronger.

"Mr. Cao, in addition to Kunpeng, I heard that Daystar is also developing some other new products?"

Qian Junfeng asked curiously.

"There are some other products under development, and you can see them one after another later."

“Even before the next Zhucheng Air Show, you will be able to see one of our new products.”

Cao Yang would definitely not tell Qian Junfeng the internal information of Daystar Technology without any bottom line.

However, it is okay to reveal something appropriately.

While Cao Yang and Qian Junfeng were visiting and communicating inside Kunpeng, Boeing Vice President David also arrived at the air show.

Naturally, Ma Allen, general manager of Boeing China, personally accompanied David to visit.

"Our CH-47 helicopter is equipped with two 3,500-kilowatt T55-GA-714A turboshaft engines, which provide powerful power for the helicopter."

"Daystar Technology's Kunpeng heavy-lift transport helicopter has further installed two 5,000-kilowatt engines, achieving a huge breakthrough in power."

"The maximum average cruising speed of the CH-47 is about 315 kilometers/hour, and the maximum speed can reach 360 kilometers/hour."

"The data released by Kunpeng is that the average cruising speed is 330 kilometers/hour, and the maximum speed can reach 380 kilometers/hour."

"In addition, Kunpeng has made great efforts in lightweighting and uses a large amount of carbon fiber composite materials."

"It's obviously bigger than our fuselage, but its weight is about 10% lighter than ours."

"At the same time, their maximum take-off weight is said to be over 25 tons, which is more than 10% higher than ours."

Ma Allen introduced it while looking at David's expression.

Today's air show was definitely difficult for him.

After all, the Kunpeng heavy transport helicopter that David came to visit seemed to be somewhat more powerful than the CH-47.

"Has Daystar Technology announced any other special features?"

David looked at Kunpeng in front of him expressionlessly.

If he wasn't very familiar with the CH-47, he would hardly be able to tell the difference between the Kunpeng and the CH-47 in front of him.

"Kunpeng's rear hatch is the same as the CH-47. It can be opened at any angle to facilitate loading and unloading of cargo from trucks or other platforms. The rear hatch can also be opened during flight for parachute landing or airdrop."

"According to them, Kunpeng has all-weather flight capabilities and can persist in completing its mission even in harsh high-temperature plateau climate conditions."

Ma Allen really didn't expect that there would be a company in China that could produce a heavy-duty transport helicopter that was more powerful than Boeing.

This is unscientific.

"Our CH-47 has strong damage resistance. Its fiberglass propellers can return to the base safely even if they are hit by armor-piercing incendiary bombs and high-explosive incendiary bombs."

"Has Kunpeng introduced its performance in this area?"

As a military heavy-duty transport helicopter developed by Boeing for relevant departments in the United States, the design of the CH-47 definitely needs to consider battlefield production capabilities.

Otherwise, it would be too funny to kill you with just an AK-47.

"Daystar Technology has always claimed that it produces civilian products and has not specifically stated anything related to battlefield survivability."

"But their propellers are also made of high-performance composite materials, so they may not be worse than those of our CH-47."

This is definitely not the time to hide.

First figure out the situation, get all the opponent's intelligence, and then consider the next step.

"Nanshan Carbon Fiber has the world's most advanced T1200 carbon fiber. They must have used these materials in Kunpeng."

"Otherwise Kunpeng wouldn't be lighter than us."

"Alan, is it possible to go inside Kunpeng and take a look?"

David was very curious about what the internal design of Kunpeng was like.

Although Boeing will be able to obtain this information sooner or later, he still wants to confirm it as soon as possible.

By then, Boeing can also make some targeted upgrades for the CH-47 to avoid being outcompeted by Daystar Technology.

"If we reveal our identity, it is possible to obtain the other party's consent."

"Especially this year we are discussing with relevant departments in China about building a Boeing 737 delivery center in China."

"The other party will definitely give us some face."

Ma Allen thought for a moment and felt that this matter was still somewhat certain.

After all, Kunpeng is just a civilian heavy transport helicopter, not a military product.

At least that's what Daystar advertises.

Then it will become possible for American companies to visit Kunpeng’s internal design.

"Forget it, I guess there will be some reports later. We can just slowly collect relevant information."

David didn't want to be embarrassed at this time.

At that time, it might be used by Daystar Technology for publicity, which would be bad.

He is quite sensitive in this regard.

While David was visiting the Venus Technology booth with mixed emotions, Zhao Tianling from AVIC and Wan Jinniu, the head of its helicopter company, also came to the Venus Technology booth.

For AVIC, today's air show is their home field.

Normally, the focus of the audience must be on their side. Unfortunately, with the freak like Venus Technology, everyone's focus naturally began to change.

"Mr. Zhao, if the performance of the Kunpeng heavy transport helicopter is really as advertised by Venus Technology, the relevant departments will probably be very interested."

"Their load-carrying capacity and cruising range are both world-leading. That is to say, the maximum take-off weight of the Polar Bear Mi-26 can surpass it, but the Mi-26's cruising range is not even half that of the Kunpeng. The shortcomings are too obvious."

"In terms of comprehensive performance, Kunpeng can be regarded as the world's number one heavy transport helicopter."

"This transportation capacity and transportation distance are completely comparable to that of a heavy-duty transport aircraft. This is a very remarkable achievement."

Wan Jinniu himself is a helicopter expert, so he naturally has a good feel for the relevant performance.

If the products developed by Daystar Technology were closer to what they developed, he would probably have a more complicated mood.

Now that the opponent's completely crushing advantage has emerged, Wan Jinniu feels more calm.

America's "Chinook", that's something they haven't been able to figure out after decades of hard work.

Now it's taken care of by Daystar.

Even if he is not convinced, it won't work.

"They use 5,000-kilowatt high-power turboshaft engines. This is a product we have just established. Unexpectedly, they have already entered mass production."

"Can we discuss with them to purchase this engine from Daystar Technology?"

"When the time comes, it can be used directly on armed helicopters or other medium-sized transport helicopters, and the power problem will be solved at once."

Venus Technology is ahead of itself, this situation can only be accepted.

However, after accepting this status quo, how to seek the greatest benefits for AVIC is obviously what Zhao Tianling needs to consider.

"If we buy this engine to produce similar heavy-lift transport helicopters, I estimate that Daystar Technology will not sell it."

"But if we clearly tell the other party that the product we produce is different from theirs, then there is still the possibility of purchasing it."

Wan Jinniu thought for a moment and gave his own judgment.

China's helicopter industry is really not that advanced.

At least that was the case in 2013.

For example, heavy transport helicopters, although they have purchased several Mi-26s from Polar Bear before, this is the helicopter with the largest take-off weight in the world.

However, although this product has excellent performance, its shortcomings are also very obvious.

For military purposes, it is a bit useless, but it has a certain role in fire rescue and other aspects.

But now that they have Kunpeng, they don't have to worry about Chinese customers not being able to buy suitable heavy-duty transport helicopters in the future.

"We have been unable to imitate the Chinook for so many years. Now even if we have an engine with excellent performance, we still have no way to produce it."

"After all, apart from Boeing, only Venus Technology can produce that kind of super transmission shaft."

When Zhao Tianling said this, Wan Jinniu felt that the other party would be even better at selling engines to him.

"Mr. Zhao, how about we talk to Mr. Cao directly later and see what his attitude is like?"

No matter how much I thought about it, I never asked the person involved directly.

Zhao Tianling naturally had no objection to Wan Jinniu's proposal.

As 4G mobile phones begin to be launched in large numbers, many consumers have begun to enjoy the fun brought by high-speed networks.

Sima Fang is the anchor of a website. Today he chose to come to the Imperial Capital Air Show for a live broadcast.

"Guys, it's really hard to get tickets for this air show."

"I spent 500 yuan to buy one from a scalper and I successfully entered."

"But the scenes we see now are really different from those on the Internet."

"Look, everyone, standing not far behind me is the Kunpeng heavy transport helicopter that has been very popular on the Internet these days."

"The performance of this helicopter has surpassed Boeing's Chinook, which is really amazing."

Sima Fang is a technology podcaster, and he will follow the hot spots on anything related to technology.

Helicopters are considered military products, and naturally they are also considered technological products.

So as long as it's popular, he won't miss it.

"I'm going to take a spin now to let everyone feel the hot atmosphere around me. Daystar Technology's booth has the largest flow of people."

"In this booth, I not only saw a large number of Chinese visitors, but also many foreigners came here to watch Kunpeng's amazing appearance."

"Venus Technology has really given everyone a break this time."

"Here, I want to announce something. From now on, I will be a fan of Daystar Technology!"

"No one can say anything bad about Daystar Technology, otherwise I will become anxious!"

Sima Fang found that the number of viewers in the live broadcast room was rising rapidly, and his tone became a little excited.

For these broadcasters, the more people they broadcast and the more fans they have, the greater their influence will be.

And what behind influence represents is interest.

"Look, everyone, what kind of battle is that? Someone from Huaxia TV seems to be responsible for filming and recording various content about Kunpeng."

"It is estimated that at about seven o'clock tonight, everyone will be able to see Kunpeng's relevant reports on China Channel."

"They flew from Yangcheng to the Imperial Capital in one go without any pause in between. It really brought too many surprises to everyone."

Sima Fang's words can be regarded as speaking the inner thoughts of many military fans.

China really needs its own heavy transport helicopter.

As for the heavy transport helicopters in the world, the more famous ones are the products of America and Polar Bear.

American products are good, but they won’t sell them to you.

If Polar Bear has enough money, they are willing to sell it, but Polar Bear's products have always been stupid and thick, and the fuel consumption is really shocking.

Therefore, the product is very useless, and there is no way for the relevant departments to use it after buying it.

In addition, the price was not cheap and the maintenance cost was high. In the end, China did not buy a few units.

This has resulted in relevant departments always being short of heavy transport aircraft.

Taking advantage of this live broadcast opportunity, Sima Fang also shared with everyone in the live broadcast room the development situation of the domestic and even global helicopter industry.

Normally, few people would be willing to watch this kind of popular science live broadcast.

Not to mention giving you a reward.

However, in conjunction with the live broadcast of the Imperial Capital Air Show, many people still listened to Sima Fang's explanation with great interest.

Especially when he was explaining, he would occasionally compare and explain the situation of the Kunpeng heavy transport helicopter in the camera, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, no one on Daystar's side cares about the anchor's actions, just let him do whatever he wants.

Cao Yang, who was communicating with Zhao Tianling and Qian Junfeng, was rescued by Zhang Xin who squeezed in at this time.

"Brother, this Kunpeng is so domineering. I have already prepared several shots in "The Wandering Earth" to show its usage scenarios."

Zhang Xin was very familiar with Cao Yang.

Just seeing the expression on Cao Yang's face when he was communicating with others, he knew that he would not be scolded if he interrupted the conversation at this time.

Fortunately, Zhao Tianling and the others also had their own tasks today, so after seeing that Cao Yang had other things to do, they did not continue to pester him and went about their own business after saying hello.

"You've been working on your movie for a while, how's the progress going?"

Cao Yang really didn't care much about the daily business of Nanshan Film and Television.

There are so many important things for each group, how can he have so much time?

At most, Zhang Songwen would regularly go over the list of movies and TV series the company planned to invest in to Cao Yang.

Sometimes Cao Yang would mention which project could be done well and which project had no success.

"It's progressing very smoothly. The company fully supports it and has hired a group of special effects personnel from home and abroad."

"At that time, we will complete part of the special effects ourselves and outsource part. Finally, the film should be able to meet the audience next year."

Zhang Xin is now considered a well-known director and actor in China.

With background and strength, it’s hard not to be popular.

"There are many professional and technical personnel at Daystar Technology who are quite in-depth in research and development of virtual reality and other aspects."

"If some forward-looking technologies are used in science fiction movies, they should be quite gimmicky."

"You can go to them specifically to communicate, and you can even ask them for assistance with some special effects."

There is no doubt about the importance of matters in the field of publicity.

As the largest film and television company in China, Nanshan Film and Television can now provide relatively large assistance to Nanshan-based enterprises.

For example, celebrities from all walks of life actively help promote many products of Honor Technology and Nanshan Automobile Group, many of which are free of charge.

The potential impact here is actually huge.

Nowadays, if most celebrities in China want to buy a car, they almost always buy products from Nanshan Automobile Group.

Whether it is Xingchen Car, Jaguar Land Rover or Future Car, they are all high-end models, and there are many choices, which can fully meet the various differentiated needs of celebrities.

As for mobile phones, Nanshan Film and Television will almost never cooperate with any mobile phone that does not use Honor technology.

This is considered a well-recognized secret in the industry.

Therefore, as long as they are celebrities who still have some ideas about Nanshan Film and Television's film and television dramas, they will not offend each other because of a mobile phone issue.

These celebrities often participate in various activities, and their mobile phones are often captured in relevant shots.

Invisibly, this is another kind of advertising.

Especially now that the influence of celebrities is developing rapidly, this kind of advertising effect is becoming more and more obvious.

"Well, in the future, our science fiction films can be communicated with Daystar Technology. I think there is still a lot of room for cooperation."

Zhang Xin came here today not only to take a look at the actual Kunpeng heavy transport helicopter, but also mainly to meet Cao Yang.

Even though the two of them often communicate on the phone, they don't actually see each other that often.

Everyone is very busy.

"Mr. Cao, Representative Pan has also come to visit with people from relevant departments. I would like to talk to you directly about purchasing Kunpeng later."

At this time, Mi Ying came over and reminded Cao Yang that a new important customer had arrived.

As the star product of the Imperial Air Show, Kunpeng’s appeal is absolutely huge.

However, Pan Jun brought people from relevant departments to discuss the purchase so quickly, which was a bit beyond Cao Yang's expectation.

Of course, this is definitely a good thing.

So Cao Yang asked Zhang Xin to see it without any hesitation, and then walked towards Pan Jun, ready to communicate with the people in the relevant departments.

As for the specific introduction, with Zhao Siyu, the general manager of Venus Technology, there, Cao Yang didn't need to worry too much.

"Mr. Cao, with the emergence of Kunpeng, we in China have the world's number one heavy transport helicopter."

"This is an important symbol of the rapid rise of our Chinese military industry."

The leaders' focus was still relatively high, and they immediately raised the significance of Kunpeng to a higher level.

"We currently only have one model of Kunpeng. In the future, we will launch a special military model based on the demands of relevant departments."

"At that time, we will also consult the relevant departments for their opinions and try our best to reflect everyone's demands."

For such an important product as Kunpeng, it is definitely impossible to have only one model.

Especially for products that can be used both for military and civilian purposes, there are often several special versions produced to differentiate between export and domestic sales.

Even products sold domestically are further differentiated based on military and civilian products.

This is considered common practice in the industry.

"Then we will wait and see. When the time comes, let Pan Jun collect the relevant information and then communicate with the technical team of Daystar Technology."

Cao Yang accompanied the leaders on a tour of the Venus Technology booth, and asked Zhao Siyu to focus on introducing Kunpeng's various outstanding indicators.

At the end, everyone sat down in a temporary conference room nearby to discuss the core issue.
