Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Chapter 457 On-Site Inspection

Chapter 457 On-site inspection

Fang Lang was of course very happy about General Nero Mora's sudden awakening, not to mention that when he sent Chinese people into the air force in the future, the resistance would be reduced.

Just if Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company can obtain more research and development funds from the military, it will definitely make him a lot of money.

When Fang Lang thought of this, he didn't forget to remind him:

"I think since you want to bring them money while also developing truly high-precision technology, the allocation ratio of R&D expenses still needs to be carefully considered.

It must not only meet the actual needs of research and development, but also ensure that they feel that following you is more promising than doing it on their own, so that they can always support you.”

General Nairo Mora, who had completely calmed down, smiled slightly when he heard this, slowly returned to his seat, sat down slowly, and said slowly:

"General Fang, inviting you here today is really the right choice.

Your suggestion gives me the opportunity to regain control of the Air Force. As for the distribution ratio, I have already made up my mind. It depends on whether you can convince them this afternoon.

I will always remember your help to me, and you will be my best friend.

But today’s matter, I hope you can keep it secret for us.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lang was slightly stunned at first, and wanted to discuss with the other party to see what proportion of the R&D funds should be allocated! Of course, in his heart, he hoped that the proportion of R&D funds would be as high as possible, so that his factory could

Get more benefits.

"We are friends. I don't want to say anything to help. I just expressed some of my opinions. I'm glad that you can feel something.

After getting in the car, Fang Lang looked at the tall Air Force Ministry building and shook his head with a smile. The meaning of his smile was unclear.

Every day, Professor Tan Ke communicates with the test pilots about the test flight movements. After the test is over, the test pilots also need to tell our engineers in charge of the test how they felt during the test flight.

As Fang Lang walked forward, he asked Ant Polman beside him:

"Professor Tan Ke, what are they doing?"

The two chatted while walking, and soon came to the plane. Professor Tan Ke also saw Fang Lang and took the initiative to say hello to Fang Lang. Fang Lang smiled and nodded, indicating that the other party should continue chatting with the test pilot. He wanted to see

Watch the plane.

General Nero Mora smiled bitterly when he heard this, sighed softly and said:

"It's my fault. I didn't treat you well this time. I will make up for it next time."

However, today he decided not to continue to hang on to the other party. After all, such a talented designer is very rare. If the other party changes jobs and leaves him because he cannot realize the other party's ideals, it will be a huge loss.

"Don't worry, boss, we have already started researching the engine. We encountered many problems when developing the turboprop engine for this T-1 project. For this reason, I recruited several people from Germany who have experience in jet engine development.

Experienced Engineer.

When he went upstairs, he was still smiling and nodded to every air force officer he met. I wonder if it was an illusion, but many people felt that General Nairo Mora seemed to be more relaxed now.

Fang Lang, who had already seen the plane from a distance, smiled and nodded, opened the door, got out of the car and said to Ant Bollman beside him:

"It seems that your efficiency is very high! You have completed the manufacturing of the prototype so quickly. Have the body for static and fatigue testing been assembled?"

"no problem."

Not sure when we can move forward with my jet fighter project."

After Fang Lang circled the plane three times, he finally got out from under the plane with satisfaction.

Seeing that this typhoon has passed, I will prepare to leave for Natal, so I will take my leave now."

Hearing this, Qi Qingshan glanced at Fang Lang in surprise, but he didn't say anything more. He just nodded solemnly and turned around to sit down.

After the two of them let go, Fang Lang picked up the military cap placed aside and put it on his head, then walked out of the sofa area. General Nairo Mora also put on his military cap and sent Fang Lang out.

The cantilevered all-metal structure tail looks quite ordinary and unremarkable. This is the most commonly used tail layout in this period, and later Super Tucanos also adopted this layout.

When General Nairo Mora heard this, he smiled nonchalantly and said sincerely:

"Your opinion has made me re-recognize myself. I'm grateful that you haven't had time yet! Why would you mind!"

"Thank you, the boss. The test body has been assembled and the testing work is proceeding in an orderly manner. According to Professor Tan Ke, this aircraft is not difficult at all and of course it is very efficient."

The entire exterior design is more streamlined, especially the curved glass on the water-drop-shaped glass cockpit. This must be a new product after a breakthrough in glass technology.

Different from the turboprop engine of the piston engine, the diameter of the entire nose is significantly smaller. There is an extended exhaust pipe on both sides of the nose of the single-engine layout, and there is an air inlet under the nose.

Although it has not yet reached the overall glass shield that will be seen in later generations, it is obviously less than the number of cockpit glass on the F4F Wildcat serving on its own aircraft carrier.

Qi Qingshan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked back at Fang Lang and asked with some confusion:

It was obviously checking the condition of the aircraft. Based on Fang Lang's own experience, it was estimated that this was flaw detection on the metal. After all, in this era without electronic detectors, this was a very common detection method.

The whole machine adopts an all-metal semi-monocoque structure, which has been used in later generations. The stress skin is still connected by rivets.

What I just said was very offensive, and I hope General Mora won’t mind.”

Professor Kurt Tank heard this and said confidently:

Professor Tan Ke had also finished communicating with the test pilot, came to Fang Lang and said to Fang Lang:

"Boss, nice to meet you!"

However, we have not yet started with turbojet engines. If we want to develop jet fighters, we may need to purchase engines from outside parties.

Ant Polman also smiled when he saw this, and followed Fang Lang without saying a word, waiting for him to slowly appreciate it.

"As brothers, you don't have to be so polite. Just say hello if you need anything."

Fang Lang looked at the street scene outside the window. Although there were still raindrops falling from the sky, they were obviously much lighter, and there were gradually more pedestrians on the road.

Engineers will use the collected data and test pilots' feelings to detect whether there are problems with the aircraft and where improvements can be made."

He patted Fang Lang's back a few times with both hands very naturally and said nothing more.

"Boss, where should we go next?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to just want to be polite to him, Fang Lang understood that he seemed to be getting up and leaving. It seemed that he had to take care of today's lunch by himself!

The two of them walked out of the Air Force Ministry building, talking and laughing all the way. General Nairo Mora sent Fang Lang out of the door, watched Fang Lang's motorcade go away, and then slowly turned back.

Hearing the boss's praise, Ant Polman seemed very happy and laughed and said:

Seeing Kurt Tank's expression, Fang Lang laughed, patted the other person's arm hard, nodded seriously and said:

This is obviously someone else's family matter. Only by learning to respect each other and not interfering in other countries' internal affairs can we make true friends!

The most important thing for me now is to plan carefully how to convince these profit-minded guys!"

Hearing the other party's voice, Fang Lang reacted, turned around, held the other party's hand, gave the other party a big hug, and then said very happily:

"I'm very happy to meet you too, Professor Tan Ke. You never disappoint. I didn't expect that our first plane would already roll off the assembly line in such a short period of time."

The three officers outside obviously didn't know what the two officers were talking about inside. When they saw the two walking out of the office talking and laughing, they all stood up and saluted again.

This is a propeller aircraft that was classified as a primary trainer aircraft in later generations. Of course, such a clear classification has not yet been made in this era.

This approach of bringing in the old with the new allows the company to have more qualified talents in the shortest possible time.

"The T-1 trainer aircraft is still in the testing phase. During the testing process, it needs to perform some difficult flight maneuvers to check whether the aircraft meets the design standards.

This means that the pilot will inevitably have a better field of vision, and the blind area of ​​the field of vision will be reduced accordingly. This is particularly important for aircraft that must still fight within visual range.

"Boss, you know, this is not my ambition.

Beside the plane at this moment, there were several engineers holding various tools, tapping from time to time around the plane, and taking out tools like stethoscopes and placing them on the body of the plane to listen for something.

Fang Lang looked out the window without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ant Pohlman has coordinated many trial productions of aircraft and is very familiar with these things. Therefore, when Fang Lang asked, he introduced them directly to Fang Lang.

"Of course, I've always been very serious.

Hearing this, Kurt Tank just smiled slightly and said slightly:

Unconsciously, the two of them really became like brothers. Fang Lang smiled slightly, gave each other a big hug, patted each other on the back and said:

Obviously he doesn’t want to get involved!

He still had to keep today's matter a secret. Was he afraid that others would know that he was being ignored, or was he afraid of being known about the Air Force's behavior of defrauding national research funds?

"I have decided that the next project is to support you in developing a brand new jet fighter. I wonder if you already have a direction?"

General Nairo Mora had already calmed down and followed Fang Lang with a smile on his face:

"No problem, let's drink Kung Fu tea next time. However, it's not enough for you to give me the Kung Fu tea set. I also want your excellent Chinese Biluochun tea."

Hearing the other party follow his words and call himself brother, he himself is the elder brother. It is obvious that he wants to have brotherly friendship. I don't know if the other party just said it casually or really meant it.

Kurt Tank obviously did not expect that his boss would agree to him so easily today. He was still a little unresponsive for a while and asked in disbelief:

"Boss, are you serious?"

However, this emotion only flashed through Fang Lang's mind. After all, the other party had done nothing wrong. After all, he was still an outsider. It was really inappropriate to get too involved in the internal affairs of the Air Force.

This T-1 training aircraft does not look big. Its wingspan is similar to that of the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter currently in service on aircraft carriers. In terms of length, it is obviously longer than the T-1 in front of him. According to Fang Lang’s estimation, it should be because there are two

The reason for the seat.

Early the next morning, under the escort of guards, Fang Lang once again came to Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. located on the outskirts of Sao Paulo. As the general manager of the company, Ant Pohlman had already received the notice yesterday and had arrived at the company early.

Waiting for Fang Lang's arrival at the door.

When Fang Lang walked out of the office, he did not forget to remind him:

"Your tea is not bad, but the tea set is just average. Wait until I give you a set of Chinese Kung Fu tea sets. I will drink Kung Fu tea next time I come over."

Alas! It’s hard to be a good person!

With a sigh, Fang Lang stood up on his own initiative and said to General Nairo Mora:

"Your Excellency General, you have important things to do today, so I won't interrupt you too much.

Hearing this, Fang Lang burst into laughter.

As if sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, General Nairo Mora quickly stood up, held Fang Lang's left arm with his right hand and said:

"How can this be done? We agreed that I will treat you to a big dinner today. I must give this honor to my brother."

The current Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company is no longer what it was when we first came here. Vehicles are constantly coming in and out, and workers wearing uniforms are also coming and going in a hurry.

Ant Pohlman pointed to a propeller plane with only simple painting on the tarmac and introduced it to Fang Lang.

He smiled and said politely:

After hearing what Fang Lang said, General Nairo Mora's face felt slightly hot, feeling that what he did today was a bit unethical. Fang Lang did not show any dissatisfaction, but still regarded him as a friend, which moved him very much.

, I will keep this feeling deeply in my heart.

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly, and accompanied by the other party, slowly walked towards the T-1 aircraft on the tarmac.

"Yes, boss!"

"We brothers have many opportunities to eat. It won't be too late at this time. It won't be too late for me to invite me to dinner after I have completely reorganized my team.

Not far in front of the plane, Professor Tank and several others were discussing something with people wearing pilot uniforms.

I didn't expect this old boy to burn bridges by crossing the river! He just said that he had made up his mind and would talk to people from the Air Force Ministry in the afternoon.

"Boss, this is the T-1 prototype we are testing."

Fang Lang's excitement was palpable around this first aircraft developed by Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company. He touched here and knocked here and there from time to time, as if a man had got his first big toy, and he felt like he couldn't put it down.

.

"Go back to the club for lunch first. You can ask at the airport to see when the plane can take off. If there is no problem, we will fly to Sao Paulo in the afternoon."

Fang Lang, who wanted to understand this, just smiled slightly and said:

Fang Lang was already used to Kurt Tank's directness. In the past, he would make detours and try to avoid the topic of jet fighter development.

What makes Fang Lang happy is that almost every engineer is followed by one or two young people who look like assistants. These young people are holding a notebook in their hands. As the engineer talks, they record in the notebook, and from time to time

Under the guidance of engineers, I will wear a stethoscope and listen carefully.

In the afternoon of that day, the group took a special plane to fly directly to Sao Paulo. When they landed in Sao Paulo, it was already dinner time. Fang Lang went straight home and had a warm dinner with his family.

In this way, you may be subject to many restrictions during research, so you must be mentally prepared.”

As long as the boss can agree to our project, I will organize them to start related design work."

Seeing the other person's confident look, Fang Lang also laughed.

"Now, no longer than before, we do not necessarily have to develop new turbojet engines entirely on our own. I am now one of the shareholders of General Electric in the United States, and GE has products related to turbojet engines.

You can choose from their product catalogs and choose the products that are most suitable for us. If you are not satisfied, you can also examine related products from Pratt & Whitney or Rolls-Royce. You don’t have to worry about purchasing, I”
