The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 205: Is it useful to say bad luck 10? [Request full order]

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "You came at the right time. We happened to be planning to test the flight in the next two days."

"If you want to watch, that's no problem."

Xiong Da hesitated for a moment. He really wanted to see the test flight of the Y-10.

If the aircraft performed well enough, then he would have the confidence to carry out a large-scale avionics upgrade on their own aircraft.

"Oh! I originally wanted to stay in the Magic City for only one day."

"My visit to Dragon Country this time has exceeded the planned time."

Xiong Da said with a slightly frowned brow.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Are you satisfied with the results of your visit?"

Of course Big Bear was very satisfied.

He nodded and said, "This visit has yielded quite a lot of results. I am very satisfied."

Wang Haoran said: "So, if we stay for another day or two, maybe we can get more results. Who knows?"

Xiong Da was very envious of the Y-10's avionics system.

In fact, he really wanted to fully understand what this highly electronic avionics system was like.

He discussed it with Osterlund and others who were accompanying him.

Ostlund’s advice to Xiong Da was: Xiong Da could go back first, and leave the professionals to experience it in depth, and then write a report in the future!
When Xiong Da thought about it, he realized that it was indeed the case.

Even if he stayed here to watch the test flight of the Y-10, he could not board the plane himself. He could only observe from the ground.

But observations from the ground don't make much sense.

Xiong Da agreed with Osterlund's suggestion.

So, that day Xiong Da flew back to Beijing from Shanghai.

On the plane back to Beijing, Xiong Da talked a lot with Ostlund.

This visit to Long had a huge impact on Xiong Da.

He had never been around dragons before, but the ones he had been told about were always bad.

He has always believed that dragons can never be compared with big bears, and the two can never be equal.

However, after his personal experience, he finally understood: his past ideas were all prejudices.

The dragon has been developing quietly.

If Big Bear wants to get out of his current trough, he will have to rely more on Dianlong.

Instead of having unrealistic fantasies about the Lizard, it is better to be realistic. Developing relations in the east may be better for the current Big Bear.

Therefore, Xiong Da hopes that the series of agreements signed with Long can be implemented as soon as possible.

Xiong Da also urged Osterlund to contact Wang Haoran regularly and report on the progress of the innovation on Da Xiong's side.

What is particularly important is to let Wang Haoran implement the group to assist Daxiong in the reform as soon as possible.

……

Wang Haoran naturally would not accompany Xiong Da to leave the Magic City.

He stayed at Mofei, preparing to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the improved Y-10 that was ready for flight test.

The main thing is to see if there are any minor defects or something, and eliminate them in advance.

Big Bear is gone.

However, he left behind two experts in the aviation industry, the leader of which was named Andre.

Andrei is an expert at the Tupolev Design Bureau.

He has a deep knowledge of aircraft engines.

He also came to Long to help the country.

He even had a close relationship with Ma Fengshang, the chief engineer of Y-10.

That afternoon, Andre talked with Ma Fengshang for a long time.

He tried to find out more information from Ma Fengshang in a roundabout way.

For example, what the specific situation was like when the Y-10 engine was tested.

He is particularly interested in what the Y-10's engine looks like.

After all, aircraft engines are so important to an aircraft.

Ma Fengshang had naturally been reminded before.

He also knows what can be said and what cannot be said.

Although he has a deep affection for Big Bear.

But he was still clear-headed and knew that he should stand on the side of his motherland at the critical moment.

Andre asked about the parameters of the Y-10 engine. In fact, if these are exported in the future, others can test them themselves, so it is impossible to hide them.

Ma Fengshang explained the actual parameters of the Y-10 engine.

Andre was very surprised.

Because, if it is really as Ma Fengshang said, then this engine made in Longguo is really amazing.

It is much stronger than similar engines of Big Bear.

"Comrade Ma, are the parameters you mentioned true?" Andre asked.

Ma Fengshang nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. I participated in the entire testing process of the engine."

"This engine is very powerful, with a thrust of up to 21 tons!"

"It can withstand many harsh natural conditions, and it is very fuel-efficient! It is even more powerful than Boeing's latest V2500!"

"It is a twin-rotor, axial-flow turbofan engine with an extremely high bypass ratio!"

"Its fuel efficiency is very high and its fuel economy is very good, at least 2500% more fuel efficient than the V!"

"Of course, if the data reported by V2500 is true!"

Andre shook his head and murmured, "It's incredible!"

"If your engine is better than the V2500, then wouldn't you be the best in the world?"

In Andre's eyes, Boeing now represents the pinnacle of the world's civil aviation aircraft.

Ma Fengshang smiled and said: "At the beginning, I couldn't believe it either."

“But the reality is right in front of us.”

"I can't help but believe it."

Andre hesitated for a moment, but he still made a request: "Can I participate in this test flight?"

"I mean, I'm on the test flight team."

Ma Fengshang said: "Well, I'm afraid I need to report this to my boss."

Ma Fengshang went to talk to Wang Haoran about this matter.

After listening to this, Wang Haoran said, "I'm afraid this won't work."

"The test flight involves a lot of original parameters and flight conditions. These should be kept confidential."

Ma Fengshang nodded and said, "I think so."

"Andre also hopes to be able to participate in the inspection and maintenance before the Y-10 test flight. I think he cannot be allowed to participate in this either."

Wang Haoran smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes!"

"We must not be selfless and always respond to requests. That's foolish!"

"The relationship with them is actually mutually beneficial. We don't want to be tied to them."

"The so-called aid they provided back then was clearly priced."

"We are helping them now and getting close to them because we don't want them to decline too quickly."

"They are declining too fast, which is not good for us!"

"In this world, there can never be one dominant player. The best way is to have three players."

"Of course, if we are the only one in power, that is exactly what I want. Because we are the only ones who are seriously considering the future of mankind."

Ma Fengshang had previously shown himself to be very close to Daxiong, and he had a special feeling for bears.

This is actually quite normal.

But as long as there is no problem in the overall situation, they are still good comrades.

Ma Fengshang went to talk to Andre about it.

He thought Andre would react strongly and be very angry.

But after hearing this, Andre just said with a disappointed look on his face: "I will obey your arrangements."

"I just want to know the specific performance of your engine and avionics system."

Ma Fengshang smiled and said, "Comrade Andre, we will inform you of the test flight situation."

"You will learn the real situation. After all, we are brothers and partners."

"The reason why you are not allowed to join the test flight team is because we are worried about your safety."

"After all, you know, there must be some danger in testing a new aircraft."

Andre said: "I can understand that. Now I want to know, can I observe the test flight up close on the ground?"

Ma Fengshang nodded and said, "That's fine."

In fact, although the test flight of the Y-10 was not made public, the news has already spread.

Even the Judean media reported it.

The whole world is paying attention to the test flight of the Y-10.

Because if the Y-10 is successful, it will definitely have a significant impact on the world's civil aviation landscape.

However, Jusa is not optimistic about the Y-10. Many of their media are inviting relevant experts to write articles.

Their articles all speak ill of Luck 10.

They are very good at speaking ill of others.

There is one problem with the Jewish media: they leave no room for maneuver.

If they want to smear something, they will smear it from beginning to end.

They are not unaware that others may be successful in the future.

But what good would it do if we succeeded?
After others succeed, can we not continue to criticize and slander them?

You can still find more unique angles to continue criticizing.

They are focusing their fire on the bad-mouthing of the Y-10 aircraft, which is actually a stumbling block, stirring up public opinion around the world, and telling the world in a loud voice: Dragon Country wants to build a large aircraft?

There are no doors!

A comment in the New York Times wrote: Dragon's large passenger aircraft project is just the most clumsy imitation of the Boeing 707! Their imitation is doomed to fail! Because, even if they can imitate the appearance, they can't imitate the inside! Their aircraft, even if it can fly, is definitely not safe. No one would be willing to ride a large aircraft that may disintegrate in the air at any time, because everyone has only one life!
The comment of the Peanut Post was even more extreme: The Y-10 is destined to become a perfect aviation junk! Even if Dragon Kingdom is given 100 years, they can't build a passenger plane that can reach the level of Jusa in the 50s!
In fact, the Boeing 707 is an airplane made in the 50s.

The 707 was basically phased out by the 80s, and no new ones were produced.

Jusa is now very anxious and worried.

Because they suddenly discovered that the dragon and the bear were suddenly approaching again.

Especially Big Bear's visit to Dragon, which will make the relationship between Dragon and Bear escalate sharply.

This is definitely a very disadvantageous thing for Jusa.

Therefore, they resorted to many crude and unscrupulous tricks to instigate and cause sabotage.

Moreover, they tried to threaten the dragon to keep a distance from the bear.

However, these tricks were of no use.

Apart from bluffing and making various threats and intimidation, Jusa can actually do nothing.

Moreover, it doesn't dare to really fall out with the dragon now, as that will not do it any good.

This wave of concentrated fire on Yun-10 is actually more like Yusa venting its madness and anxiety.

On the eve of the Y-10 test flight, Yusa tried to negotiate with Long to send a so-called expert group to guide the test flight.

However, Long flatly refused.

Afterwards, Yusa asked the media to come and watch and cover this test flight.

The reporters' interview requests were reported up the chain of command and finally reached the top leaders.

Of course, the leader would seek Wang Haoran's opinion.

Wang Haoran told his leader: "They will definitely use satellites in the sky to keep a close eye on us."

"Even if we don't allow them to interview, they can still know the results of the test flight."

“So, my advice is: let them do the interview.”

"The interviews on the ground don't matter."

The leader said: "We originally wanted to conduct this test flight quietly, but now we can't do it quietly."

Long has always been very low-key in doing things.

To do anything, do it first.

Let’s talk about it after it’s done.

Or, even if you succeed, just don't say anything.

What we value is to make a fortune quietly, and we must have a backup plan for everything we do.

Wang Haoran smiled and said: "Many things, if they cannot be done in a low-key manner, then make them public!"

The leader was concerned: "I'm just a little worried..."

The leader did not voice his concerns.

Wang Haoran understood what his leader was concerned about.

Isn't it just worrying that the test flight results might be bad?

The test flight results were not good, which is definitely not a good thing for Longguo's aviation industry.

Wang Haoran could only cheer up his leader.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Boss. I can assure you that this test flight will be a great success."

"Because we have already done a lot of work before! Haha!"

"Whether it's the engine, the aircraft's avionics system, or the aerodynamic layout, they've all been tested."

"Our aircraft has been tested many times in the wind tunnel before it was finalized. So, there is no problem!"

The leader was also impressed by Wang Haoran's confidence.

"Okay! Since you said so, let's do it!"

"Let them interview if they need to."

"But preventive measures must still be taken!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, leader."

"We will definitely make arrangements."

The leader said: "Originally, I wanted to go and see it myself. But now, I think I should wait for your good news."

After the leadership made the final decision, interview requests from Jusa and media from various countries were granted limited approval.

That is, each country only allows one media outlet to enter the test flight site.

Moreover, the media has certain areas of activity that they must not go beyond.

Of course, Longguo’s own media must have gone there more frequently, and almost all the major national media sent reporters there.

Moreover, they are treated much better than foreign journalists.

On the morning of the test flight, Andre took the bus arranged by Longguo to the airport for the test flight.

In order to develop the Magic City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, the Magic City also specially approved a large piece of land for aircraft test flight work.

When Andre got off the bus, he was led by the staff to the guest lounge.

Here, Andrei met Matvey, a reporter from the Bear News.

Andre already knew that reporters were allowed to attend and cover this test flight.

The most important media from dozens of countries around the world came.

"Comrade Andrei, what do you think of their test flight of the passenger plane this time?" Matvey asked with a smile.

Andre shrugged and said, "I have a feeling they will be very successful this time."

“Because they did a very solid job.”

“They are very confident now, they are very capable!”

"They are really no longer the same as they were before."

Matvey was a little surprised: "You used to look down on their aviation industry."

"You said they only copied us, and not well."

"What made you change your mind?"

Andre sighed and said, "Because I visited the workshop of their aircraft manufacturing plant, saw their full set of production equipment, saw their quality control, and saw their strong integration capabilities."

"I visited the interior of the Y-10 aircraft they manufactured, and they are far ahead of us in avionics equipment."

“So, they will definitely succeed.”

Matvey suddenly felt a little lost.

"So they are catching up with us in aviation too? That's simply unacceptable."

Andre said: "I can't accept it either."

"But that's the reality."

"In this era, we lack so much. We are inferior to Yusa in many aspects. We have lost the initiative in the competition with Yusa. Moreover, we are becoming more and more passive."

"In this case, we have to use external forces to balance this imbalance."

"And the dragon is the best helper."

Matvey was silent for a moment and then said, "What will happen if Jusa is left alone?"

Andre said: "Those guys are very brutal. If you let them completely suppress us, I'm afraid we won't even be able to survive!"

"So, we need dragons!"

"In fact, dragons have always been very strong. In the past, they were strong in terms of military strength. Now, they are rising in all aspects."

"I think we shouldn't be nervous or upset about this, we should be happy about it."

Matvey took a breath and said, "If it is really good for us, then of course we should be happy about it. But now, we can't jump to conclusions too early."

Not far from Matvey and Andrei, some Lizard reporters were gathering.

They were talking in low voices.

"Guys, I think their big plane might actually be successful this time," said Bild reporter Collinsmann.

The Times reporter Horn curled his lips and said, "It's just a test flight. Even if they succeeded, what would happen?"

"A successful test flight doesn't mean the aircraft is really safe! The Y-10 they tested today seemed to have been successfully tested before!"

"But didn't it still stumble for several years before it was put into operation? It is said that there are huge safety risks."

"This time, it will probably end up the same way! If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see!"
