141 The Future of Yun Shi
Looking at Ma Fengshan's hopeful face, Xie Kai agreed very much. In the end, he made up his mind to shake his head, "Mr. Ma, you also know that the current aircraft is not suitable for continuing production. Even the aircraft in Factory 7503 that has not been assembled cannot be put into the civil aviation transportation field unless we set up an air transport company ourselves." It is not appropriate to establish an air transport company at present.
It requires too much money, not to mention that the safety of Yunshi is not guaranteed, so no one dares to make this decision.
If one drops, it will be hundreds of lives.
What's more, domestic civil aviation has been in a state of loss at present.
Yunshi has not obtained airworthiness standards and its safety performance cannot be guaranteed. It is impossible for the State Administration of Civil Aviation to agree to put Yunshi into the civil aviation market operation.
"What are your good ideas?" Cheng asked Xie Kai from time to time. "The cost of two aircraft is too high."
This kid's idea can make the 404 base unable to afford wages. He has been able to invest in projects like big aircraft in just over two months, which may really be able to find a good future for Yunshi.
"It's changed to a cargo plane." Xie Kai said. "That one is also a test aircraft. During the test flight, we can transport some expensive goods, and the freight can recover part of the test flight costs."
After the Yunshen was produced, it flew around empty and tested. The cost was really too high, and it was not in line with Xie Kai's idea of recycling funds.
If you can recover some costs, you have to recover some.
The game consoles produced in the base must be transported to Shenzhen Stock Exchange and exported through customs. If transported by train, the time will be too long.
Only air freight is the most suitable.
Although it will increase the transportation cost of the game console, it can at least reduce the cost of the YTD.
The cargo hold of Yunshi is not small. When transporting game consoles, it may not be much transported at a time. When the game substrate is transported later, the motherboard and chips will be transported from outside, and the cost will be reduced.
Factory established in Shenzhen Stock Exchange will only be assembled.
"Freight? Is this possible?" Mr. Ma asked Xie Kai, "The cost of air transportation is not cheap. Other domestic airlines can carry passengers and transport goods at the same time."
"We have to conduct a large number of test flights, various complex environments, accumulate a lot of flight experience, verify the strength of the aircraft's fuselage, and obtain data for subsequent improvements."
"Even if you don't carry cargo, you have to fly, right?" Xie Kai said. "If you want to produce it and put it into the market, you must have to be modified and secured. The flight time was too short before, and the service life of parts on the body was not verified."
Since she decided to take over the Yun-10 project, Xie Kai made up his mind.
According to the opinions of the expert group in 1981, we kept the achievements of Yunshen, and kept researching and improving work, so that the team of Yunshen was not disbanded.
Use the funds from the 404 base to support the entire team of Yunshihe, invest in design improvement work, and wait for the improvement of the domestic industrial supporting system.
Now that there is no buyer, Xie Kai doesn't want Yunshi to invest in the market in order to get more sources of funds, and finally, the Yunshi sign that smashed the domestic large aircraft.
As long as there is a problem with the Yun-Ten, it will be even more difficult to push it into the civilian market.
So I made it specifically for freight from the beginning.
"This is a solution, but it's not easy to find transportation business." Cheng nodded from time to time. "Last year we helped the foreign trade company transport 13 tons of export goods, and this year we bring supplies every time we go to Tibet."
Better than nothing.
"When the time comes, I will discuss this matter with Director Zheng. The base will arrange a few special personnel to contact the freight business in the test flight area according to the Yun-Ten test flight plan." Xie Kai said, "Maybe you will be able to obtain military orders in the future."
Now as the number of 404 products gradually increases, logistics needs to be provided.
From the base to Jiayuguan, there is only the base train on that route, which is not a problem.
But on the national railway network, even if it is related, it is okay to mobilize a large number of car bags to 404 every time, right?
"Our Yunshen is a civil aviation passenger plane, but it turns out to be a cargo plane..." Ma Fengshan sighed.
"What kind of cargo plane is a civil aviation passenger plane, but it just helps transport goods." Xie Kai comforted, "Now civilian use is not good, we have to pursue military orders."
Ma Fengshan looked at Xie Kai with surprise.
It turned out that he did not give up putting Yunshen into the market, but he was more interested in the military market.
"Before Yunshi, there were military modification ideas, and some technical plan demonstration work was done well." Cheng said in a low voice from time to time.
"Military Ideas?" Xie Kai knew that in the early 1980s, the Yun-10 project team had already put forward many ideas.
Domestic large aircraft are not only used in civil aviation, but also very important for national defense.
"It's not just about this." Ma Fengshan said, "In terms of military use, there is a concept of a transport aircraft. According to our preliminary calculations, in terms of length, as long as the fuselage is lengthened by 5 meters, the shipment volume is increased, and a large mouth is opened in the left front of the fuselage, it can be called dual-purpose passenger and cargo. Civil aviation transportation is not possible, but military use has a great future, which is far higher than the Y-8's transportation capacity."
"How much can it be achieved?" Xie Kai really doesn't know about this.
No matter how complete the information online, it is impossible to know more clearly than the designer of Yunshen.
"The maximum cargo load capacity is 35-40 tons, and it will ship 12 containers or carry 189 fully armed soldiers." Cheng said from time to time.
Xie Kai immediately became interested when he heard this, "This is about the same capacity as the Soviet Il-76."
"For the transportation of heavy equipment, the Yun-Ten modification may not be suitable." Ma Fengshan reminded Xie Kai. "There is no problem for use in paratroopers."
"This is OK. The modification is like this. Even if the military does not look down on it, we can still be a freight aircraft. Isn't this modification both for passengers and cargo?" Xie Kai licked his lips.
If it is really modified, even if the military does not give up purchasing the Il-76, it will have to buy a few.
"It's really changed to the freight transport machine?" Cheng from time to time was a little stunned.
"Revise! Our current purpose is to preserve the achievements of Yunjin and ensure that the team will not only not disband, but will also continue to grow, and at the same time promote the development of supporting manufacturing, materials, crafts and other industries." When Xie Kai said these words, he was completely inconsistent with his age.
Ma Fengshan and Cheng were in a daze, as if they were facing peers who were smarter than them.
"This requires a lot of money. After the modification, we have to start production of verification machines again." Ma Fengshan reminded Xie Kai.
"We will find a way to solve the money problem. The biggest advantage of our 404 is that as long as the project is determined, the technicians do not have to consider anything else. There is a dedicated team to ensure their logistics and solve their needs." Xie Kai didn't brag.
There are not many technicians in the base, but there are many supporting facilities.
"By the way, I remember you had proposed the idea of early warning aircraft before. Is this a sign of excuse?" Xie Kai asked.
Early warning aircraft is the most important thing.
Both the Navy and the Air Force need early warning aircraft.
The voyage of Yun-8 is too short, and there was no way in China back then, so Yun-8 is used as a platform.
"There has been one, the military is very interested and the technical projects have been demonstrated. However, the Yun-Ten has not been finalized, and the Air Force also lacks military expenditure, so there is no news." Ma Fengshan nodded.
"Since that's the case, during the process of conducting the Y-10 test flight, we began to improve the design in these two directions. Military aircraft modifications in other countries can become civil aviation passenger aircraft. Why can't we use the technology of civil aviation passenger aircraft to seek military orders? As long as the technology is successful, verified and the team is trained, we will return to the civil aviation market." Xie Kai said excitedly.
It is completely feasible to use the Y-10 technology, modify military transport aircraft and early warning aircraft.
In this way, they need less investment funds and even receive a small amount of funding from the Air Force.
"It's no problem." Ma Fengshan and Cheng were both excited from time to time, "But will the base management committee agree? The funds required will not be small."
"I will convince them." Xie Kai assured the two of them.
The two knew Xie Kai's special status in the hearts of the members of the base management committee, and did not have any doubts because of his youth.
After discussion, time passed quickly. It was not until the plane landed that Xie Kai realized that it had arrived.
This time I got off the plane, my legs were no longer weak, let alone Tian Li helped him get off the plane.
After the plane stopped, the technicians began to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the plane, regardless of the time being around 4:30 in the morning.
"You stay in the guesthouse first, Director Zheng will be here in the morning." Cheng personally sent Xie Kai and Tian Li to the guesthouse from time to time. "Tomorrow, take you to see the one being assembled."
Xie Kai was so sleepy that he had no objection.
If Zheng Yucheng has not arrived yet, he can visit the Yunshi Assembly Factory well, he hasn't seen it yet.
"Boy, get up quickly. We must go to Factory 742 immediately. There are many people who want to go to the ranks." Xie Kai was sleeping soundly, and Zheng Yucheng called Xie Kai up. "Can you be so tired when you take a special plane?"
Xie Kai was helpless, "Is it okay to live? It's not a hurry."
"I snatched a thousand Mitsubishi orders this time. If the Japanese do not make any mistakes, our motherboards and other production will be troublesome." Zheng Yucheng reminded Xie Kai.
If you steal the Japanese's orders, you must be prepared for their revenge.
"If Mitsubishi Yoshikawa's old Japanese devils were to cooperate with Komatsu before, the 742 factory's people would not help us if they were not doing well." Zheng Yucheng understood this matter.
Even though his head was dizzy, Xie Kai had to leave the warm quilt and get up and wash.
