Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 196 Xuanwu Plane
Regarding the wonderful idea of ​​the cargo plane, Zhong Cheng agreed in principle.

I just ask Yang Xi's team to make certain modifications, not to be too extreme.

First of all, a 100-ton container container is too large. In practical applications, it cannot hold so many goods in many cases.

Zhong Cheng suggested changing to two specifications of 20 tons and 50 tons, and also changed the cargo aircraft to two specifications, 600 tons and 1200 tons.

The external dimensions of such a large cargo aircraft are also reduced to 30 meters in length and 30 meters in wingspan. Such a delta-flying wing-shaped aircraft has the most reasonable aerodynamic layout.

Yang Xi and Lorna accepted Zhong Cheng's opinion and asked Zhong Cheng to give the new cargo plane a special name.

They think it is inappropriate to name a cargo plane after Qingluan.

Zhong Cheng thought for a while, and felt that Xuanwu, one of the four mythical beasts in ancient Chinese legends, was more suitable for a cargo plane.

Xuanwu is a kind of spiritual creature made up of turtles and snakes. It is so powerful that it is easy to carry goods.

The new cargo aircraft are named Xuanwu 600 and Xuanwu 1200.

12 month 25 day.

Zhong Cheng took the specific implementation plan of the air bus system and participated in the science and technology seminar at the end of the year in Beijing.

At the same time, he also brought the design draft of the intelligent robot that Zhao Wei rushed to work.

The leaders, experts and scholars attending the meeting were very surprised that Zhong Cheng was able to complete the design plans of the three major projects on time.

The research and development strength of Zhong Cheng's team is surprisingly strong!

Participants discussed in detail the implementation plan of the air bus system.

There is no objection to the design schemes of several new types of civil aviation aircraft. Electric aircraft have inherent advantages, and it is only a matter of time before they occupy the civil aviation market.

Everyone believes that it is necessary to set up a special aviation service company for unified management, and the management of electric flying cars should also be included.

This aviation service company will cover the vast majority of domestic passenger transport, freight transport, and logistics distribution, and has the responsibility to develop these businesses into public utilities, not for profit.

So this air service company must be run by the state.

Most of these future air vehicles planned by Zhong Cheng are unmanned, and there are no flight attendants.

The personnel of this aviation service company are mainly flight management personnel and ground service personnel, and the number is not too large.

In the end, the meeting made a decision that Red Star Company was only responsible for aircraft manufacturing, and other matters were left to the relevant departments.

The name of the project is "Mending the Sky Project", which means to fill up the loopholes in China's summer sky.

The implementation of the project will be entirely entrusted to Red Star Company, and the investment scale and construction period will be decided by Red Star Company through consultation with the future aviation service company.

Zhong Cheng then explained the draft of the intelligent robot, and the participants had no objections.

In addition to asking Zhong Cheng to separately report the situation of military robots and combat mechs in the future, the implementation of the civilian intelligent robot project is at the discretion of Red Star Corporation.

Some experts and scholars have questioned whether intelligent robots have caused problems in social ethics.

Zhong Cheng explained that intelligent robots are actually very different from human intelligence. Before the advent of quantum computers, the legendary AI could not be produced.

And Red Star Company will never create a robot that looks like a real person, although they have this ability.

Moreover, such intelligent robots have strict security control measures, and it is absolutely impossible to harm humans without authorization.

……

After completing the approval procedures, Zhong Cheng was not relieved, and did not immediately notify the high-level meeting after rushing back to Beishan.

He found Mr. Deng alone, and told Mr. Deng about the matter first, mainly to express his worries.

The intelligent robot project cannot be implemented immediately, but the sky patching project manufactured by Xuanwu Aircraft can be started immediately.

As a result, the company started three major projects at the same time, and he was worried about whether the quality of project implementation would decline and whether it would affect the company's liquidity.

Mr. Deng is very happy that Zhong Cheng can consider these non-technical issues, which is an aspect that a company's top management must consider.

He said that the company's funds are not a problem at all. Regardless of Zhong Cheng's lack of financial knowledge, Red Star Company is too rich now, and it is fine to have a few more such large projects.

However, there are indeed difficulties in terms of manpower. It is suggested that the sky patching project should be started after the Spring Festival next year, and the robot project should be started in the middle of next year.

In this way, even if the Xihai project has not been completed, the third phase of the daily project is almost done.

With these few months, the talents being cultivated in the projects being implemented can also get started.

Mr. Deng asked Zhong Cheng to prepare the materials and asked him to present them at the company's annual meeting in early January 19.

Such a major matter still needs to be discussed and decided by everyone.

Zhong Cheng accepted Mr. Deng's opinion, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and it was only a few days before the company's annual meeting.

After New Year's Day 2019, January 1.

Red Star Heavy Industry Group held the annual meeting of middle and senior managers.

This meeting is the most important annual meeting of the company. It will review the company's operation in the past year and formulate a new year's operation policy.

In addition to the content that needs to be kept secret, the content discussed and decided at this meeting will also be announced at the company's annual commendation meeting before the Spring Festival.

In addition to the senior leaders of the company, the participants also included the heads of various functional departments at the headquarters of the group company and the heads of each branch company.

At present, Red Star Heavy Industry Group has more than 200 departments and branches. Because there are some senior employees or retired leading cadres participating in the meeting, the number of participants has reached more than 300.

It was the first time that Zhong Cheng was qualified to participate in this meeting.

The meeting was in charge of the general manager's office in charge of Cao Zongzhu, and Cao Zongzhu personally presided over the meeting.

He first introduced the operating status of the group company in 18.

In the whole year, the total operating income of Red Star Heavy Industry Group reached more than 8 trillion Chinese dollars, and the profit exceeded 2 trillion Chinese dollars.

Both the total operating income and profit are firmly ranked the world's largest company, and the gap with No.2 is getting wider and wider.

The top eight branches in terms of sales revenue are Power Battery Company, Electric Car Company, Fighter Aircraft Manufacturing Company, Fuxi Optical Brain Company, Optical Chip Manufacturing Company, Nuclear Fusion Generator Company, Heavy Machinery Company, and Machine Tool Manufacturing Company.

The power battery company ranks first with an annual output of more than 1800 million sets of Kuafu power batteries and a sales revenue of more than 13000 trillion.

The machine tool manufacturing company has an annual output of 8 sets of Nuwa Shenshi system machine tools, ranking eighth in sales revenue of more than 4000 billion.

Due to the limited market development potential in the field of specialized machine tools, the machine tool manufacturing company's ranking in the group has declined.

And in the future, with the establishment of branches such as Red Star Mining, Civil Aircraft Manufacturing, and Robot Manufacturing, its operating income ranking will continue to decline.
