Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Princess Tomb, a cafeteria in a certain compound.

"In previous years, we spent huge sums of money importing Spey engines from Britain to solve the problem of heart disease. This was a project that the entire aviation industry system worked together on. Now, we want to copy an engine of the same level as Spey. We only need to provide an engine repair factory, and we don't even need to invest any funds. This is simply something we wouldn't dare to imagine!" Old Lin said with great emotion: "Let's raise this glass to wish the WS-10 project a smooth completion!"

At the end of the meeting, the project was named WS-10. Anyway, the historical model of the same number was not established until the late 1980s, so Qin Yang unceremoniously occupied this number. This model has a good omen. Other models, such as WS-6, WS-8, etc., all failed. WS-9 is a copy of Spey, and WS-10 is the first domestically developed and successful model.

"Thank you for the strong support from the Air Force in generously allocating Factory 5713 to us. We will certainly live up to expectations and complete the imitation of the WS-10. We dare to take on this project with just one factory because we are engaged in a market economy! This is precisely the foresight of the old leader! Come, let us toast to the old leader's foresight!"

A military industry project can even be used to flatter someone? Everyone was stunned. After reacting, they quickly raised their glasses.

They didn't know that Qin Yang was bringing up the old leader to pave the way for what he was going to say next.

"Old Lin just said that the country doesn't need to invest funds, which is something we wouldn't dare to imagine. Only we dare to think and dare to do it. We want to engage in a market economy, and we have to move forward with big strides!" Qin Yang looked at everyone: "Of course, Factory 5713 is just a major repair factory with very poor R\u0026D capabilities. After surveying and mapping, we will definitely hand over a large number of parts to brother factories for imitation and production. This process must also follow the path of a market economy!"

Everyone became curious. Was President Qin going to carry out reforms?

"Specifically, which factory wants to cooperate must first pay for the samples out of their own pockets. If the samples are qualified, we will naturally order them in large quantities. The price is up to the supplier, and the R\u0026D costs can be added in. Of course, there are also some parts that many factories can produce. We will use a bidding method, and the one with good quality and low price will get the order."

Factory 960 will pay, but it will not pay endlessly. Next, it has to use market economy methods to solve the problem.

In this era, all scientific research institutes are very arrogant. Want us to develop accessories? Okay, bring money!

What if the money is spent and the accessories have not been developed, that is, the project is over budget? Easy to say, just reach out for money. If you don't give money, we won't continue!

Many projects are exhausted under such circumstances. In the aviation industry system, the J-10 was the first project to adopt the chief designer responsibility system. All the money is in the hands of the chief designer. Scientific research institutes want to continue playing this game? No way! Show results first!

Back then, Old Song encountered great resistance. Now, Qin Yang is just paving the way for Old Song and paving the way for the motherland's aviation industry.

Hearing Qin Yang say this, everyone present frowned.

"President Qin, if you arrange it this way, I'm afraid the enthusiasm of the relevant units will not be high." Zhang He said: "After we get the sample machine for surveying and mapping, we need to hand over most of the parts to brother units for production. We don't provide funds to brother units, then brother units…"

Zhang He has worked in the system for more than 20 years and is very clear about these things. Which unit would accept such conditions?

"Hmph, what era is it now? They still think that pies will fall from the sky?" Qin Yang said: "Look at our ground weapon system, how much has changed in the past year! Everyone knows that if you want to win a contract, you have to bid! In the aviation system, they are still clinging to the original iron rice bowl. It seems that it is meaningful for me, Qin Yang, to intervene in the aviation system. The old leader will definitely praise me when he knows about it in the future. The old leader said long ago that we need to take bigger steps, but many people have been standing still. I still have to use a whip to whip them!"

Many people present looked embarrassed. If these words spread out, I'm afraid many people would resist. Factory 5713 is not a production factory with many supporting manufacturers. If the various production factories do not cooperate, what surveying and mapping imitation will they do?

"However, if we want to break this situation, we still have to adopt an incentive method." Qin Yang changed the subject: "Engineer Zhang, after we officially start work, divide the parts that need to be developed into three categories according to the difficulty. The first category is the most difficult. As long as a supporting manufacturer can produce qualified products, we will reward 100,000! The second category will be rewarded 30,000, and the third category will be rewarded 10,000!"

Rewards? And often tens of thousands? Old Lin muttered to himself: "Sure enough, you can do whatever you want with money!"

"President Qin, is this money a reward for individuals or for the unit?"

"That depends on who developed the parts. If the supporting factory organizes the development, it will be rewarded to the unit. If an individual or a group develops it, it will be rewarded to the individual or group!"

Talking about a sense of honor, what is the prospect of development, etc., are all just empty promises. Giving money is the most practical! There are capable people in many factories. For the sake of bonuses, they will tinker with these things even if they do private work.

Solve the R\u0026D funding yourself! Anyway, add it to the price of the parts after development. We also give extra bonuses, which is real money!

To put it more directly, the old masters in some factories can use the factory's blanks to tinker with them and process them with their superb skills, and they can come to Qin Yang to get bonuses! Even the lowest level is tens of thousands, who wouldn't be envious? The previous situation of procrastination in R\u0026D and constantly rising overspending will all disappear.

Zhang He's eyes lit up. Sure enough, following President Qin was the right thing to do. President Qin has the courage and can reform and subdue the stubborn problems in the aviation industry system. The aviation industry system can also develop and grow!

After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed. Qin Yang pulled Zhang He to the 960 factory's guest house. Next, many things had to be discussed in detail.

"President Qin, although the Spey is weak at high altitude and high speed, it is, after all, a mature engine. We have also obtained a complete set of technologies. The Americans have also developed the TF41 engine based on the Spey." Zhang He asked curiously: "Do we really need to carry out this project with no difference in maximum thrust?"

Of course, it is necessary. Without this project, how can I get a foothold in the aviation industry? How could Factory 5713 be generously allocated by the Air Force to my 960 factory? Qin Yang was extremely sure in his heart.

However, he couldn't say that.

"I suggested using Spey, but Old Lu was unwilling. Originally, I didn't plan to care about it, but I happened to meet the French after I came out. So, this is natural and a matter of course. Now that we have the engine, why not copy it? It's good to have one more choice after copying it." Qin Yang said: "This is a simple single-rotor engine structure. We have the processing experience gained from Spey, and it will be easier to copy. As for other things, such as lifespan, we don't need to reach the level of the original version. Let's tinker with it and make it usable first."

"Old Lu? Q-6?"

"That's right, a twin-engine enlarged version of the Q-6."

Only a few people know about the surveying and mapping of the Tomcat, because this is highly confidential. If too many people know about it and it spreads to the Americans, there will be big trouble.

It is precisely because they don't know about the surveying and mapping of the Tomcat that many people don't take the surveying and mapping of the M53 engine seriously and think it is unnecessary. Now, Zhang He has vaguely known that there is an inside story, and he is inexplicably excited.

Of course, Qin Yang at this time did not know how prescient his move was. Not only was there a twin-engine Q-6, but even the later J-10 had an engine that could be used!

"Speaking of processing technology, I am most worried about the processing of turbine blades." Zhang He talked about the specific technology.

"In this way, let's find a way to let the French show us the processing process."

How is this possible? Zhang He couldn't believe it. Qin Yang smiled: "I have a plan…"

It was this one that came.
