Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

Chapter 448 New Work Permit

“The J-20 and J22 projects you proposed this time caused a huge shock among the top leaders.

Many people think that you are right and this will be the main combat direction in the new century.

It not only opened the door for high-level officials to understand the logic of air combat in the new century, but also created inspiration for the J-10 and J-11 that have just entered service.

But anyway, the difficulty of these two projects is obvious to all.

I don't know much about aviation, tell me, is it true, as Comrade Jinyang said, that it will not be officially put into service until the next century?"

Dean Lu was wiping his glasses with a glasses cloth in his hand and chatting slowly with Fang Xiang.

“Actually, I’m not sure.

The main hurdle lies in the materials.

If only the same materials, equipment and engines as the current J-11 are used.

In fact, the J-20 and J-22 will have prototypes as early as next year.

But you also know that now Factories 132 and 112 are doing their best to digest the technology purchased from Lao Mi.

And research on the localization of F110.

If we want to wait until these new equipment, new technologies and new engines are installed, it depends on their progress.”

Fang Xiang held the teacup in both hands to warm his hands.

Everything about Beijing is good except that it is too cold in winter.

He had gotten used to living in the south over the years and was actually having trouble adapting to the environment in the capital where he was born and raised.

Even though the heating in the office was turned on high, he still felt a little cold.

"What do you think if we produce a prototype according to the current standards of the J-11?"

After Dean Lu wiped his glasses, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw one to Fang Xiang.

“I don’t think so.

This is the standard for the next generation, so naturally the model should be manufactured according to the equipment and concepts of the next generation.

J-10 and J-11 are good, but they are third-generation aircraft after all.

Although the J-11 can also be coated with stealth paint, by standards, it is at most a third-generation and a half.

According to what you said, the J-20 and J-22 are not much better than the J-11.

What a waste. . . ”

Fang wanted to take the cigarette, but he didn't rush to light it. Instead, he continued to hold the teacup to warm his hands.

“You have a point.

I heard that America has also started research on the fourth-generation aircraft. Now that the bidding has ended, it seems that the project is about to be officially launched.

When we got the news, we were quite anxious, thinking that we had finally caught up with the third-generation aircraft.

But I didn't expect that they have already started developing the fourth-generation aircraft.

Unexpectedly, you immediately came up with a complete set of theories and drawings.

Fortunately, very fortunate. . . "

Dean Lu looked at Fang Xiang who shook his head and felt a little emotional.

"By the way, I remember you mentioned before that you wanted to make a drone.

How is it now? "

Then, before Fang wanted to speak, Dean Lu changed the subject.

"We are lacking some core technologies, so we have to wait for the Ministry of Commerce to buy them back from Xiaoyi."

Fang Xiang explained when he heard Dean Lu ask this.

In fact, he is also anxious. Compared with the next generation of fighter jets, in his opinion, drones are a more realistic issue.

It is only 88, and the theory of the fourth-generation aircraft is actually not perfect and even immature.

Even if the materials are available, they are actually not of much use once they are made.

Even the United States was researching and upgrading the F-22 as it was being built. It was not until the new century that the F- became truly combat-ready.

Therefore, the J-20 and J-22 project parties want to use them more to train the next generation of talents.

Now, ten years have passed since the university opened in 78, and a new generation of talents has begun to emerge and show their talents.

Originally, Fang wanted to upgrade the country's backward second-generation aircraft to the third generation by his own efforts, and he thought it was a good thing.

But the negative effects are now also highlighted.

Talents in related professions cannot keep up.

Therefore, it would be better for Fang to slow down the development of the fourth-generation aircraft.

Wait a minute for the talent pool that hasn't caught up yet.

"Don't worry about this matter, I'll help you keep an eye on it and urge it.

In fact, I am quite curious. How far do you think the big topic of drones will develop in the future? "

Dean Lu took out a document from the cabinet.

This was the backup of the drone system that Fang had originally proposed. Dean Lu thought it was interesting and kept a copy.

“It’s a very broad industry.

From education and entertainment to agriculture, mining and military, each has its own development direction.

Think about it, when wars are fought in the future, there will be no need to sacrifice human lives, only drones will be enough.

Unmanned reconnaissance aircraft use infrared, radar, scanning and other high-tech technologies to detect the enemy first, and then use armed drones, unmanned dogs, and unmanned tanks. . . . . . "

Fang Xiang's thoughts were opened up, and he brought up the ideas from various science fiction films in later generations one by one.

"It sounds like the future will be an era without humans..."

Dean Lu was shocked by Fang Xiang's vision, and his mouth was wide open.

I didn't realize the cigarette in my hand had burned my fingers until it did.

“Have you ever thought about how much labor will be replaced by such a large drone industry?

Will it lead to widespread unemployment of workers? "

As expected of Dean Lu, he immediately thought of a core issue.

“Human life is more valuable than machines.”

Fang Xiang smiled faintly.

This problem has actually been highlighted in later generations, such as driverless taxis.

But as the old saying goes, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

As long as technology is directed onto the right path and used to create a beautiful and happy life, it will definitely be the right thing to do.

After all, the country is the one that is controlling everything.

"I'm really old, and I'm not as smart as you young people.

I don’t know if I will ever have the chance to see the day you described.”

Dean Lu nodded silently.

Over the years, anything Fang wanted to participate in has never gone astray or failed.

Naturally, he also believed Fang Xiang.

However, he felt a little emotional when he saw the blueprint described by Fang Xiang.

"Yes, I'll try to be earlier."

After hearing what Dean Lu said, Fang Xiang was also silent.

Although many technologies require a lot of basic technology and basic mathematics as a foundation, it does not mean that we cannot overtake others.

Just like the automobile industry and aviation industry he controls now, and the future drone industry to which he is now beginning to shift his focus.

"Speaking of which, do you know why I asked you to come here on New Year's Day?"

After talking about these, Dean Lu returned to the main topic.

"Probably know something."

Fang Xiang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated at this moment.

In fact, he was mostly just guessing, but when it really came to this point, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

“Here is your new work ID.

In fact, you were qualified a few years ago.

But you are still quite young after all, not even fifty years old.

Speaking of which, among the more than 100 academicians, you are more than ten years younger than the youngest one, Mr. Li.

I was thinking of waiting for a few years, but I didn't expect that when we talked about this year's additional candidates in the last meeting, you actually got the most votes.

It seems that the so-called age is actually just something I worry about.

You impressed everyone with your achievements."

Dean Lu smiled, took out a small red notebook from the drawer and pushed it in front of Fang Xiang.

“And your letter of appointment.

Since you have been working in the hospital for many years, there is no need for job transfer.

How is it, is the pressure much greater? "

When Fang wanted to pick up this work ID card which was as light as a feather and as heavy as a mountain to take a look at it.

Dean Lu continued.

"really..."

Fang Xiang took a long breath and nodded heavily.

“Then work harder and make more contributions to the country.

You are so young and there are endless possibilities in the future.
