Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 283 Air Show

November 11th is the Internet’s Double 11 Singles’ Day!

Large e-commerce websites represented by Tmall, JD.com, and WeChat e-malls have already launched large-scale discount promotions, ushering in a bumper harvest on this day!

The continuous publicity and marketing in the first half of the month burst into dazzling light on this day, which can be said to have shocked the whole world.

Tmall's "Double Eleven" shopping carnival only opened for 1 minute, and the transaction volume exceeded 100 million yuan. In less than 3 minutes, the transaction volume exceeded 1 billion yuan. In less than 15 minutes, the transaction volume exceeded 5 billion yuan. The total transaction volume in half an hour The amount exceeds 10 billion yuan.

The market fully reflects the consumer enthusiasm and ability of consumers, and also creates a new retail record in China. This record greatly exceeds the highest record in the U.S. e-commerce industry in 2011 - US$1.25 billion, equivalent to approximately 7.8 billion yuan.

At 10:00 on November 11, the total transaction volume of Tmall’s “Double Eleven” shopping carnival exceeded 30 billion yuan. Over the course of 24 hours, the transaction volume reached 57.1 billion yuan, almost doubling compared to last year.

JD.com also achieved good results this year. With WeChat’s investment in JD.com, it brought a large amount of traffic to JD.com, making JD.com’s Double 11 sales exceed 10 billion, exceeding the total of the previous years.

WeChat e-mall, with the substantial increase in WeChat users, has also experienced explosive growth, with a transaction volume of 36.7 billion yuan on Double 11. It can be said that it is already rapidly catching up with Tmall, far surpassing QQ e-mall.

However, Qin Yuanqing did not contribute a dime to the Double 11 event because the 10th China Air Show was held in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province.

The entire Zhuhai Air Show lasts for 6 days from November 11th to 16th. This time the Zhuhai Airshow is destined to be a sensation in the world.

Nearly 420 domestic and foreign aerospace manufacturers from 39 countries and regions participated in this air show, setting a historical record.

The first three days of this air show are professional days, and the last three days are public days.

In addition to a large number of professionals, there will also be hundreds of thousands of ordinary visitors to the air show. The number of professional visitors and professional sellers participating in this air show and the number of potential customers is also much higher than the previous air show.

It has long been revealed that the Zhuhai Air Show will feature J31. The last time it was just a model, but this time it is said that it will be performed, and this is China's fourth-generation aircraft! I don’t know how many people this news attracted. Everyone wanted to see their country’s fourth-generation aircraft in person.

In addition, Russia's most advanced S35 fighter jet will also participate in the air show. The S35 fighter jet is a deeply improved single-seat, twin-engine, super-maneuverable multi-purpose heavy-duty fighter jet developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau on the basis of the S27 fighter jet. It is regarded as a third-and-a-half-generation fighter jet. On February 12 this year, the first batch of 12 mass-produced S35S fighter jets was officially delivered to the Russian Air Force. Everyone wants to see with their own eyes how powerful this Russian killer fighter is.

Of course, there are other highlights, such as the large-scale fire-fighting/water rescue amphibious aircraft model, one of the high-profile domestic large aircraft projects. This model is designed by AVIC General Aviation to meet the urgent needs of national forest fire-fighting and water rescue, and strengthen the national A landmark project developed for the construction of an aviation emergency rescue system, it is the largest amphibious aircraft under development in the world today.

China's Air Police 2000 is also rumored to make an appearance at this air show. As one of the few large-scale early warning aircraft of the Chinese Air Force, the Air Police 2000 has definitely attracted the love of the audience.

Of course, Boeing and Airbus are indispensable for this air show, two civil aviation manufacturing giants. However, they are coveting China's increasingly huge aviation market and want to get more orders and expand market share, so they have also come up with their own trump cards, Boeing. 747 and Airbus A380 will all appear at the air show.

It was Yingjiang's first time at the China Air Show and he sent a C17, and he did not lose the domineering power of the world's hegemon at all.

Of course, no one knows that there will be huge surprises at the Zhuhai Air Show this time. Qin Yuanqing came to Zhuhai to participate in the air show this time just to witness them in person!

Arrive at the air show center, get off the car, and enter the huge air show center. At this time, the place is already crowded and bustling. In the huge outdoor exhibition area, exhibiting aircraft have been parked there one by one. Some people are already holding cameras. Photograph.

A variety of aircraft, including various fighter planes, transport aircraft, helicopters, etc.

A large part of the outdoor exhibition area contains helicopters and transport aircraft from Russia, as well as some helicopters, regional airliners, business jets and other civilian products from Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Bell, and Gulfstream.

The indoor exhibition area is also very large, with many booths and exhibition halls. Some smaller companies generally have booths, and only larger companies have their own exhibition halls.

"Eh? Academician Qin, why are you here too?" When Qin Yuanqing was visiting the aviation products in the indoor exhibition area, a voice came into Qin Yuanqing's ears.

"Secretary, you are here to participate in the air show too!" Qin Yuanqing smiled immediately when he saw this man and walked over to shake hands with him.

"As an old man who is about to retire, I only have this hobby left. Looking at our country's weapons and equipment, they are getting better and better, and the little old man is also happy." The director said with a smile.

When Qin Yuanqing thought about it, it seemed that the bureau chief would retire next year. Thinking about it, he was already in his sixties. This bureau chief who had contributed to China's national defense education for 20 years was no longer the handsome and handsome guy he used to be. Instead, he became a gentle old man with profound knowledge.

"It's developing very fast. This air show has a huge surprise." Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

"Oh? What kind of surprise is this!?" The director became curious.

Although he studies weapons and equipment, he doesn't understand some things.

"Fourth generation aircraft! Real fourth generation aircraft!" Qin Yuanqing said in a low voice.

"Really!?" Surprise filled the director's eyes.

He knows the current situation of the fourth-generation aircraft, but these fourth-generation aircraft are still strictly confidential. Normally, they will not participate in the Zhuhai Air Show until they become an army. After all, a fighter aircraft will only appear in the public eye after it has truly matured. Otherwise, if there is a problem, it will be finished. It will be embarrassing to the whole world and will severely damage the self-confidence of the people of the country!

"Yeah! That's why I came here specifically to see our fourth-generation aircraft!" Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly and gave a definite answer.

"This is incredible!" Zuo Zuo exclaimed. As a weapons and equipment research expert, Zuo Zuo knows exactly what this means. It means that China's progress in the field of fourth-generation aircraft exceeds everyone's imagination.

The outside world has been speculating that although China's fourth-generation aircraft has been tested, it will take at least ten years for mass production. After all, it took ten years for the American fourth-generation aircraft to be mass-produced after the test flight.

And now, how long has passed, three years!

As you can imagine, this year's air show will definitely shock the whole world.

"Academician Qin, thank you for telling me this news in advance. I have another task this time, which is to cooperate with CCTV to make a program to introduce the equipment for this air show. With your news, I can do this program well. !" The director said happily, and then felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that none of our fourth-generation aircraft are suitable as carrier-based aircraft!"

As a naval officer, Bureau Chairman has always had a deep affection for the navy. Now China's 10,000-ton cruise ship is already under construction, the 001 aircraft carrier is already in service, and the 002 aircraft carrier is under construction. The only shortcoming is the carrier-based aircraft.

Although the J15 is good, it is still inferior to the F35.

"Commissioner, it's almost time. Our fourth-generation Chinese carrier-based aircraft is almost ready!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

The Ge Feng aviation engine is already being tested, and the fuselage is also under development. It may be ready for test flight next year. This new generation of fighter aircraft is the benchmark for the F35. The vertical take-off and landing function is simply perfect for aircraft carriers.

Although 002 is still a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, not a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the 002 aircraft carrier is definitely the pinnacle of conventionally powered aircraft carriers. It will set a record in terms of displacement, speed and number of carrier-based aircraft.

The 002 aircraft carrier is actually of a transitional nature for China now. It is used to verify various new technologies, explore aircraft carrier fleet tactics, train aviation forces, etc.

According to the schedule, the construction of the 003 aircraft carrier will not start until three years later. The 003 aircraft carrier is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of 101,600 tons and a full load displacement of an astonishing 112,000 tons. It is a real trump card and a big killer!

The director was thoughtful, and then his eyes were full of surprise. He already understood what Qin Yuanqing meant, but he didn't say much. Some things can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. Once you understand, you will understand.

Qin Yuanqing and his colleagues watched the air show together. In the outdoor exhibition area, Qin Yuanqing saw the J-10 fighter, now the main force of the Chinese Air Force.

This fighter aircraft is a milestone for China, representing that China has embarked on its own aviation development path, and has also cultivated a group of modern aircraft designers.

Then Qin Yuanqing also saw the behemoth Boeing 747. Boeing relied on the world's largest long-distance passenger aircraft with a passenger capacity of 416 to survive the bankruptcy crisis and established its position as the global aviation hegemon. This aircraft is very roaring. , orders are scheduled for ten years later.

"Aviation is the benchmark for the world economy, and aircraft are an important part of the scale. Both Boeing and Airbus believe that with the growth of population and economy, and the advancement of globalization, the middle class will continue to grow and the pace of urbanization will accelerate. , the population will gradually gather in megacities, and the passenger flow between important international aviation hubs such as Sydney, Tokyo, and Paris will increase sharply, resulting in more crowded airport runways and tighter take-off and landing times. To solve this problem, we must Relying on super-large aircraft, we can transport as many passengers as possible to important aviation hubs at one time, and then distribute them to other small and medium-sized cities through small and medium-sized aircraft." The director introduced to Qin Yuanqing: "They have done very well in their respective segments. Well, we in China are still far behind, and there are still many, many things we need to do."

Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly. He liked Ju Zuo's programs very much, not only because Ju Zuo was very humorous and knowledgeable, and he had any weapons and equipment at his fingertips, but also because Ju Zuo never shy away from things that others are ahead of.
