Scholars in the courtyard

"If you have anything to hide, let me tell you."

Seeing that no one wanted to speak, Qin Ming couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere, so he frowned and said, "Chief, and Mr. Yang, let me just say it straight, our ingredients are not clean."

Mr. Qin narrowed his eyes, and Yang Xiaotao breathed a long sigh of relief, and his thoughts were indeed true.

Among the people who can be sent out to be trained by the country, which of their family backgrounds are poor and lower-middle peasants?

To put it bluntly, even if you are talented, if you come from a poor and lower-middle peasant family, just returning from a trip abroad is the biggest problem.

What's more, it's even more impossible to use them for something as strictly confidential as aircraft manufacturing.

"If the two chiefs come here, they must have known about our processing plant for a long time. They must know everything about it in the past."

At this time, Wang Xudong's deep voice sounded, as if there were unspeakable bitterness and tears.

"Before liberation, we were all children studying abroad."

"After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, we worked here. At that time, we mainly imitated the United States saber, but later."

At this point, the pain in Wang Xushan's eyes became even more intense, "We also want to do our part and do something for this country!"

Wang Li patted Wang Xushan on the shoulder and comforted his old friend, "Later on, people in our factory were constantly transferred or put into work."

"As time goes by, we will be the only ones left."

"Later, the factory director left and the secretary left. I had no choice but to shoulder this heavy burden."

"But we are pretty good. No one comes to disturb us. We can support the family by doing some small jobs. It's just a little bit, a little bit."

Tears flowed from Wang Li's cloudy eyes, "It somewhat failed to live up to the expectations of the people of the country."

"I'm sorry for being so passionate!"

Several other people also had the same expression, which made Yang Xiaotao feel sad.

Mr. Qin on the side also took a deep breath and said nothing.

But in my heart, I no longer had the previous vigilance.

Yang Xiaotao took out the cigarette case from his pocket and smoked one, then handed the rest to Wang Xushan who was standing aside.

Immediately, they separated into a circle, the match was lit, and the smoke rose in the room, covering their cheeks.

As for the composition of several people, since Mr. Chen has recommended it, there is nothing for him to hesitate about.

Just use your talents.

Besides, Yang Xiaotao doesn't believe that they are still holding on to their dreams at this age. If they are said to be treacherous and evil people.

One cannot choose one's origin.

But it’s up to you to decide which way to go.

"The reason why we formed a special team this time is to design an aircraft that can adapt to the engine we made."

Yang Xiaotao changed the topic and then talked about this matter.

"Yang, Mr. Yang, you said that the machinery factory has an engine waiting to be designed for aircraft?"

Wang Xushan carefully pinched the cigarette butt with his index finger and thumb. It seemed that this person was also a smoker, but he probably hadn't tasted the smell of tobacco for some days.

"Yes, when we were designing, we designed the jet engine at the same time as the Third Machinery Department. Later, the engines from the Third Machinery Department were adopted by Shengjing Airport. If we don't want the remaining engines to eat dust in the warehouse, we have to do it ourselves. ”

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Qin Ming laughed and said, "That's what those guys in Shengjing are like."

"Everything is based on the design drawings. It seems that we can't work without the alliance's design drawings."

As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, Wang Xudong looked over and reminded, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know."

"What the country needs now is to improve its combat capabilities as soon as possible. There is no time for you to develop smoothly."

"Imitation is the fastest and best way. Learn from the foreigners and learn skills to defeat the foreigners. Have you forgotten this?"

Qin Ming muttered softly after hearing this, "It's been more than 20 years and it hasn't been done yet. It's a waste of people's property."

Wang Xudong stared angrily after hearing this, and Qin Ming was so frightened that he turned his head away and stopped talking.

But Yang Xiaotao could tell that the other people had the same thoughts as Qin Ming.

In fact, Yang Xiaotao also said the same thing as Qin Ming. The research and development of aircraft should be based on the engine, rather than the engine adapting to the aircraft.

Only good engines can produce better products.

This is what Yang Xiaotao has always believed.

Whether it's a tractor, an armored vehicle, or an airplane.

It's just that the current situation is the same as Wang Xudong said, time, what is missing is time to become stronger.

"Mr. Yang!"

Wang Xushan looked at Yang Xiaotao, "I would like to ask, what does the engine in the machinery factory look like? Do you have the design data?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded. After knowing that Wang Xushan had studied engines, he knew that the other party would ask this question.

Then I briefly talked about the basic data of the HXJ-1 engine.

"This engine is five thousand millimeters long and more than eight hundred millimeters in diameter..."

"Divided into intake passage, combustion chamber, afterburner..."

"Preliminary inspection shows that the maximum thrust can reach 8,000 kilograms, and the afterburner thrust is expected to exceed 10,000 kilograms."

Before Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Xushan stood up excitedly.

Not only him, but also several people around him also stood up.

What they heard was that the thrust was eight thousand, and if it were to be boosted, it would be ten thousand. It was expected that this

Is this crazy?

Isn't this a dream?

"Mr. Yang, are you kidding me?"

Wang Xushan said in disbelief, "This, this engine really has a thrust of 8,000 kilograms?"

Qin Ming looked even more incredulous, "You know, the Alliance's engine is only six or seven thousand, and you came up with an eight thousand, are you kidding us?"

The other people were also so surprised that they couldn't speak.

At this time, Qin Lao spoke slowly, "Why, only the Alliance is powerful, and we can't make good ones?"

Qin Ming waved his hands quickly and closed his mouth and dared not say anything more.

Qin Lao glanced at the people around him, "But you are right, the data released by the Alliance shows that the maximum thrust does not exceed eight thousand, and the afterburner thrust does not exceed ten thousand."

"Even if we copied it, it's only more than five thousand, and this is still thinking well."

"That's why we have this special team to study suitable aircraft, just to make good use of the performance of this engine."

After Qin Lao finished speaking, everyone put away their doubts, and then heard Qin Lao say seriously, "This is a secret, do you understand?"

Several people immediately shut up and didn't dare to ask again.

But the fire in their hearts became even stronger, and they couldn't wait to see this kind of engine immediately.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know the situation in the alliance, so he was not very sensitive to some data.

Just like the eight-cylinder diesel engine last time, when it was first made, he only knew that the power reached 800 horsepower.

Later, he had a clear understanding after listening to other people's comparison.

Therefore, after the initial inspection of the engine last time, he didn't have much sense of this data.

But now think about why Wu Zhe was so easy to talk to at that time, and Shengjing agreed so readily, maybe this is the reason.

As for whether Qin Lao used it to calm these old guys, this is possible.

After all, this is Qin Lao.

"No, ah, no, no!"

Wang Xushan waved his hand, then lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his head and stared at Yang Xiaotao, as if there was an inexplicable brilliance in his eyes.

"Afterburner, afterburner, this is not available before, right? That's it, that's it, right?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded happily, "Yes, this method of gas pressurization has already appeared abroad, and all countries are studying and using it. In the future jet engines, afterburner method will be the norm."

"It is with this extra thrust that the engine can reach 10,000 kilograms."

"How to pressurize, how to do it?"

Wang Xudong looked at Yang Xiaotao with burning eyes like a student eager for knowledge.

Yang Xiaotao did not disappoint him and simply explained what he understood, "This design is actually a pressurizer that increases the air pressure, then adds oil, ignites, and burns, using combustion to increase the airflow temperature, thereby obtaining propulsion."

"And for such a combustion chamber, we installed three fuel supply nozzle rings"

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's explanation, Wang Xudong gestured with excitement on his hands, "Eight thousand, ten thousand!"

"Eight thousand!"

"Ten thousand kilograms of thrust!"

Wang Xushan muttered to himself, then suddenly showed an excited look, turned around and ran into the room.

Yang Xiaotao was stunned, not knowing what Wang Xushan was doing. Hu Feng's eyes lit up and he explained, "Old Wang designed an airplane a long time ago, but there was no suitable engine at that time. That's why he switched to researching engines in recent years."

"Airplane? He designed it?"

Old Qin couldn't sit still anymore. These people really didn't care at the beginning.

But at this moment, he began to change his mind.

You know, he has been recruiting talents for making airplanes all over the country during this period.

Until now, the ones who can be found are either elite backbones of various aircraft factories, or there are more important projects.

It can be seen that such talents are scarce.

But now, in this almost abandoned factory, a guy who can design airplanes has emerged. How can he not be surprised?

Yang Xiaotao is the same. He knows how difficult it is to design an airplane.

He can also imagine how difficult it is to design an airplane.

"You designed an airplane?"

Yang Xiaotao asked again to confirm.

"Yes, when Lao Wang was studying in the United States, he interned at the Wright Company, where he learned the design concept of aircraft."

"We have also worked in various aircraft factory departments, and we all have our own understanding of aircraft design."

"By the way, our design concept is somewhat incompatible with the domestic development of following the alliance."

"That's why we can get along, but can't get out."

Hu Feng seemed to be talking to Yang Xiaotao, but also seemed to be talking to his own people.

"You've said too much, too much!"

Hu Feng sighed, and everyone around him patted his shoulders.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the vicissitudes of the faces of several people, their clothes were also tattered, and some people's hands were covered with mud, but one thing could be seen on their faces.

That was persistence.

"Come on!"

Just then, Wang Xushan ran over here quickly with a half-meter-long wooden box in his arms, panting while running, and it was obvious that he was struggling.

"Help me quickly."

Several people hurried forward and put the wooden box on the middle table.

Yang Xiaotao and Qin Lao stepped forward, and Wang Xushan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said excitedly, "Chief, Mr. Yang, this is an aircraft we designed back then."

"We used the Wright Company in the United States as a reference when we were studying it, and we felt that their design concept was in line with the current trend."

"Compared with the simplicity and mass production advocated by the Alliance, their aircraft pay more attention to refinement and modernization"

"The consequence of this is that the design of the aircraft is more complicated, and the requirements for craftsmanship and materials are greater."

"Combining the development routes of two different methods, we have made an intermediate type, which not only retains the simple style of the Alliance, but also utilizes the refinement of the United States."

While speaking, Wang Xushan opened the box, revealing the oilcloth package inside, and then carefully opened it, revealing a piece of yellowed paper.

Yang Xiaotao stared at the design drawings inside, and it can be seen that the design is very careful. At least the drawing level is not inferior to Zhang Guanyu.

"Originally, I thought about making an airplane and dedicating it to the motherland."

"Unfortunately, I was young and frivolous at the time, and I didn't think so much, so I found out that there was no suitable engine after making the design drawings."

"However, now with your 8,000-thrust engine, our airplane is half done!"

Thank you for your concern. I still cough today, but I don't have a fever anymore, so it won't affect my typing for the time being.
