Xipo. Research Institute!
After arriving at the office, Zhou Yang picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number directly!
"Dudu!"
Soon, the call was picked up: "Liaoshen Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, who are you and who are you looking for?"
"I'm Zhou Yang, help me pick up Comrade Gu Zhenhua!"
"Please wait!"
Zhou Yang still holds the position of deputy chief designer at Liaoshen Aircraft Factory, so the operator here knows his name and is very polite to him.
After waiting for less than half a minute, Gu Zhenhua's familiar voice came from the microphone: "Comrade Zhou Yang, this is Gu Zhenhua, have you arrived at the unit?"
"Yes, it rained heavily here today, so I came a little late!"
Then Zhou Yang asked straight to the point: "Lao Gu, you called me so early in the morning. Could it be that the helicopter has been assembled?"
"Hahaha, you guessed it right, our helicopter has indeed been assembled and is ready for its first flight. I called you today just to invite you, the chief designer, to participate in the first flight ceremony!" Gu Zhenhua said with a smile.
"Hahaha, that's great. When is the time set? Will the first flight be at your side or at Lao Liao and Lao Huang's side?"
"The time is scheduled for next Tuesday..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang asked in surprise: "Isn't that the Army Day?"
Yesterday, Gu Chenghua specially approached him and told him that he was going to organize a cultural performance for all the cadres and workers in the unit next Tuesday to celebrate the Army Day.
And he also agreed, and planned to be a copycat, plagiarizing a song and singing it that day.
Unexpectedly, Liaoshen Aircraft Factory actually scheduled the first flight on this day. It seems that his plan to sing will most likely be ruined.
"Yes, Director Zou set the first flight on Army Day because he is planning to use this first flight as an Army Day gift for our three units. This makes it more meaningful!" Gu Zhenhua said.
"I understand, where are you planning to fly for the first time?"
"The location of the first flight is set on our side. After all, the conditions here are much better than those in Changhe, and it is also convenient to receive the leaders above!" Gu Zhenhua replied.
"Oh, which chiefs have you invited to participate?"
"In addition to the leaders of our equipment department, we also invited the main leaders of the army, navy and air force. After all, after our aircraft are built, we mainly sell them to them. We need to let customers know what our products are!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "It seems that Lao Gu is very confident in the helicopter we have built!"
"That's not the case!"
Then Gu Zhenhua lowered his voice and said: "Actually, it has been more than 20 days since the aircraft was assembled. During this time, we have to test the performance of the aircraft every day. This helicopter of ours is really powerful. This so-called... The first flight is just for the leaders above to see!"
Zhou Yang naturally knows what Gu Zhenhua means. In fact, it is not just helicopters. Before any cutting-edge equipment is actually shown to people, the R&D team no longer knows how many times it has been used in actual operations. Only when it is sure that there are no major defects will it be officially used. Out for people to see.
Take fighter jets as an example. In the early days, the J-5, J-6, J-7, and J-8 were formally deployed in our troops. In the later period, the J-10, J-15, J-20, etc. were included in hunting equipment. Do you think it is correct from the model point of view? It's a bit strange, there are a lot of numbers missing.
This is not to say that there are no missing numbers, but that apart from these fielded models, others have died due to one reason or another, such as the J-9, J-11 and so on.
Because of this, every first flight of a new fighter jet is a major event that attracts great attention from people across the country, because it means that our country has an important national weapon.
Therefore, the first flight does not mean that the aircraft takes off for the first time, but it makes its first appearance to the outside world. It is also a formal announcement to the outside world: Our project has achieved results!
Just as Zhou Yang was deep in thought, Gu Zhenhua's voice came from the microphone again: "Comrade Zhou Yang, do you have time to participate and give me a message?"
Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment, then said immediately: "I have time, but how can I get to your side? It's so far away..."
Before Zhou Yang could finish speaking, Gu Zhenhua said: "Director Zou has already arranged this matter. If you have time to participate, the Beijing Military Region will send a plane to pick you up in the village."
"Private plane pick-up, isn't that good?" Zhou Yang said.
"It only takes a few hours for a helicopter to fly back and forth. When the time comes, you first go to the capital to meet the heads of the equipment department, and then take a plane to our side together. But you need to leave a day in advance!" Gu Zhenhua said.
"If it's one day early, doesn't that mean we have to leave the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll be waiting here the day after tomorrow!" Zhou Yang said.
"Then let's make a deal!"
"good..."
After saying that, the two ended the call!
.......
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang sat on the chair, unable to conceal his excitement.
The helicopter project took so long that it even invited experts such as Gu Zhenhua from the Liaoshen Aircraft Factory and Huang Zheng and Lao Liao from the Changhe Aircraft Factory to participate in the research, and it also consumed millions of precious funds. , and now the finished product is finally out.
Although the aircraft has not yet flown for the first time, and is further away from mass production and deployment to troops, there is finally hope.
It also proved that their previous efforts were not in vain.
More importantly, in Zhou Yang's opinion, the time for this helicopter's first flight was just right.
Now that southern Xinjiang is covered with clouds and a war is imminent, if Liaoshen Aircraft Factory and Changhe Aircraft Factory work faster, they can assemble a few helicopters before the war breaks out.
Although the impact of three five helicopters on the war is minimal, the performance of this helicopter can be tested in actual combat.
Once this helicopter passes the actual combat test, it will inevitably go through a series of labor-intensive procedures, be quickly mass-produced, and be installed into the army!
By then, all the manpower and material resources they have spent on researching this fighter jet will be recouped with profits.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately ordered people to invite Gu Chenghua and Li Manqiu over. He had to make a careful calculation with these two people.
Soon, Gu Chenghua and Li Manqiu opened the door and walked in!
After putting away his umbrella, Gu Chenghua stomped on his wet shoes and said, "Is it because you can't participate in the Army Day activities here?"
"How do you know it?"
"Guess!"
Then Gu Chenghua said again: "I saw Xiao Xu hurriedly looking for you early in the morning and asked Lao Fan to be her driver. Obviously there is something urgent!"
"Tell me, what big thing happened again, and it has to be you, the great director?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "It was Comrade Gu Zhenhua who called and invited me to attend the helicopter's first flight ceremony!"
Hearing this, Gu Chenghua's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Oh, has the helicopter project we jointly participated in produced results?"
"Yes, results have been produced!" Zhou Yang said.
"Well, if that's the case, then we have to go. If we don't go at such an important moment, others will think it's a project led by those two units!" Gu Chenghua said.
However, Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "The reason why I went to participate in this first flight ceremony is not for this useless fame!"
"Then what are you doing for?" Gu Chenghua asked subconsciously.
"Benefit!"
"???"
Gu Chenghua couldn't understand why it was just the first flight of a helicopter. What benefits could there be in it? It actually required him, a director of the department, to travel thousands of miles to make the trip in person.
Seeing Gu Chenghua's puzzled look, Zhou Yang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said shockingly: "This trip to the Northeast involves the distribution of benefits worth tens of billions of dollars. How can we be absent!"
"hiss!"
Gu Chenghua and Li Manqiu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The figures of tens to tens of billions frightened them.
After a while, Gu Chenghua looked at Zhou Yang and said, "The tens or tens of billions you are talking about are not the final profit distribution of the helicopter project?"
Zhou Yang nodded, and then expressed his analysis...
