After everyone left, Sean stood up. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the way he dealt with scientific researchers.

Wasn't it like this in the previous life?

No matter how stupid or unrealistic the questions raised by the leader are, they still need to be completed.

No matter how stupid the leader's request is, if he fails to complete the task and makes the leader lose face, then he will be sent to Siberia to shave ice cubes!

Leaders are responsible for making decisions with a slap on the forehead, making promises with a slap on the chest, regretting with a slap on the thigh, and leaving with a slap on the butt.

A leader can never be wrong!

Yes, I’m talking about Lao Maozi!

In order to compete with the United States in the space race, a huge amount of money was invested at this time to make a big leap... An unrealistic goal. The MiG-105, an aerospace plane code-named "Spiral Ascension Plan", reached 30,000 meters at a speed of Mach 5.

Release sub-planes into space at high altitudes to perform special missions such as attack and reconnaissance.

There is also the N1 rocket project, which was created to challenge the Apollo project. It is completely impossible to determine whether the Americans landed on the moon, but the explosion of the N1 rocket under the pressure of the old man did indeed exist.

Going on the horse without any confidence at all, as for the waste of funds and the sacrifice of the staff... I regretted it, patted my butt and left.

Three days later, it was still the same conference room, and this time there were only three people in the meeting.

Sean, Barzel, and Professor Spencer Winston.

First, Sean and Bazell signed a lot of documents. The registration of the joint venture company Victory Aviation Manufacturing Company has been completed. After the contract is signed, it means that the company has been established.

Victory Aviation Manufacturing Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary controlled by overseas capital...a wholly-owned subsidiary, and the parent company is registered in the British Virgin Islands for the convenience of tax avoidance.

After all, it is a legal company and tax avoidance is still needed.

After the contract is signed, shakes of hands, and photos taken, it is considered done. Although there are no reporters on site, the proper sense of ceremony is still there.

After taking care of these ‘busy things’, we can get down to business. Here is Professor Spencer Winston explaining the design plan of the new aircraft to Sean, the company’s major shareholder.

Turning off the lights, Professor Spencer Winston typed a slide on the wall, which was a design drawing.

A very simple design drawing, only showing the appearance and basic parameters of the aircraft.

After all, it is a theoretical framework design, so it is important to forget about the accuracy. Besides, even if it is accurate, the boss in the middle will not be able to understand it.

"This is a new propeller fighter we designed based on the F6F fighter. It uses new aluminum alloy materials...applying current manufacturing technology and aerodynamics technology..."

Professor Bala introduced a lot of new technologies, and finally concluded, "The performance of the new aircraft completely exceeds your requirements, Mr. Sean."

"Don't worry if the technology is lagging behind, it can reduce costs." Sean frowned. It's too advanced. This is not good, very bad.

"Sir, it doesn't mean that using backward technology can definitely reduce costs." The professor could only explain in simple words, "As for the material, the original cost is higher, the weight is heavier, the fuel consumption is higher, and the backward production process will not be able to produce in batches.

In the case of production, it will only increase the cost!”

"Then there is the engine. If you look for an advanced engine, that's no problem. For example, the Merlin engine can reach 1,600 watts of horsepower. But the problem is that we don't need such a large power. This is just a small aircraft, and small-power aviation engines

, considering fuel consumption and its own weight, as well as mass production and cost, this is the most suitable.”

"Unless we modify another production line for this engine, it's obviously not worth the gain."

"That is to say, unless it is deliberately aiming for a worse design, taking into account the cost, it still exceeds the upper limit I gave!" Sean looked distressed, "It's difficult for me to do this, the plane is so good,

They have been using it for decades, so how can I update it? If I don’t update it, how can I make money?”

Professor Spencer Winston: "..."

Finally, at Sean's request, the professor scaled down the aircraft, reduced the size of the fuel tank, and reduced the combat radius and cruise time, although this seemed completely meaningless to the professor.

"Smaller, it's easier to take off and land, and it's easier to operate. Not all pilots from all countries are as experienced as Americans!" Sean suddenly had an idea when he explained, "By the way, professor, if you put the exhaust port here

Can we redesign it to make the temperature higher?"

Professor Spencer Winston:???

"No, sir." The professor seemed a little excited and incomprehensible, "Everyone is trying every means to lower the temperature of the exhaust port. If the temperature is too high, infrared anti-aircraft weapons will easily lock on, and the aircraft will be shot down!"

"This is good, this is good!" Sean raised his hands and clapped, "It just needs to be easy to lock on. Whether it is Africa or South America, the mainstream air defense weapons are Soviet individual air defense missiles."

"That thing is too rough, the locking speed is slow, and the accuracy is low. The plane has rushed over and hasn't completed the lock yet. This is not good!"

"If the plane is not shot down, the rebels will lose confidence!"

Sean's head shook like a rattle, "This won't work, absolutely not!"

"This, this, this..." Professor Spencer Winston looked at Sean in shock, what a hell capitalist!

Is it okay to be afraid that the opponent will not be able to shoot down the aircraft you made?

Even Bazel looked dull. Where is the bottom line? Where is the morality?

After all, he is just a professional manager. In terms of being despicable and shameless, he is still far behind Sean.

"Professor, we must ensure the balance between the two warring parties. Even if one side has the advantage, it cannot be overwhelming. This is not conducive to the continuity of the battlefield. If the war ends prematurely, then how can we sell weapons?" Sean said

He looked at the professor with a serious face, "So, there must be some design flaws left. This is good for being easy to lock. This skill saves costs and can expand production."

Professor Spencer Winston rolled his eyes. If he was shot down, he would buy it again. Isn't that to expand production?

"Okay, I get it!" After a few seconds of silence for Sean's client, Professor Spencer Winston nodded with a headache on his face.

With the preliminary design plan in hand, Grumman found the scrapped F6F from the warehouse and disassembled it into parts. Bringing the required accessory samples, Professor Spencer Winston took his team and took to the air with Sean.

The palace goes straight to the east.

…

When Sean is here, Daole is here!

The east side welcomed this old friend of the Chinese people very much, especially when they heard that Sean wanted to ask them for help in researching and manufacturing an aircraft.

It was the first time for the technical team to come to the east side. They were shocked to find that it was completely different from the east side they had remembered. No one had braids.

Of course, during the reception, they found that some people just didn't leave it on their heads, but they still left it on their hearts, and it was deeply ingrained.

Sean arranged for them to rest in his palace. He also wanted to talk to Dongfang's senior management. The previous communication was just an intention.

On the wine table, glasses were exchanged, and a specific cooperation plan was quickly decided upon.

Sean used US$5 million in design funds to purchase some advanced equipment that China did not have.

China mobilized a large number of experts and provided an aircraft manufacturer to do technical public relations on the design framework, manufacture test models, conduct test flights, etc., until it was finally finalized.

As long as the spare parts can be produced in the east, they will be manufactured in China, and Sean will purchase them in US dollars.

For Dongfang, not only did they get a batch of advanced scientific research equipment that they could not buy, but many of the technologies that Sean brought were also not available in Dongfang.

This is not to say that propeller aircraft do not have advanced technology. Whether it is the engine or the aircraft itself, Eastern technology was inherited from the Soviet Union, and the details are quite different from those of the United States.

Since the reopening was confirmed, orders from military factories across the country have dropped by more than 80%. Well, the main reason is that there is too much inventory. Sean has helped sell it for two years, but less than 10% has been sold!

crazy!

The largest aircraft manufacturers are basically in a state of shutdown, and it is difficult to pay wages. Technical research is only written and calculated on paper. This opportunity to do it is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Not only can we verify new technologies, but we can also do some experiments and get orders for spare parts from factories.

Sean was like a lifesaver when they were in serious trouble, which became even more dazzling after Hafei started working at full strength.

Finally, after the OEM aircraft is successfully sold, Dongfang, as the main supplier of spare parts, can make a name for itself in the global aircraft manufacturing industry.

Low price and excellent production capacity, even if it cannot produce some high-tech accessories, low-end ones are no problem at all.

This is a huge temptation for capitalists pursuing cost reduction, and can help China open up a lot of spare parts markets.

Sean has agreed to help promote Dongfang.

The other thing is, it’s a by-product.

Take XAC as an example. After a large-scale production shutdown, XAC was also struggling to find a way out in the civilian market. It once pinned its hopes on industrial aluminum. It happened that the aluminum alloy process technology applied to the aircraft brought by Sean this time not only solved their industrial problem

The last problem faced by the manufacturer also found a way out for the product.

It’s still an export product from the beginning!

Generally speaking, everyone is happy. Under the coordination of the Ministry of Industry, XAC and Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation mainly seconded staff from Chengdu Aircraft and Shenfei Aircraft Corporation to form more than 130 research teams to carry out scientific research.

In fact, other flying companies also want to participate, but the problem is that the orders Sean can give are really limited, and there is not enough meat!

Before coming here, I felt that although these technologies were outdated and backward, they were for the Americans, and for the East... Haha, although they did not dare to stab Sean in front of him, they agreed that there was no way for the East to overcome this series of difficulties.

Don't even think about it.

But the enthusiasm for scientific research that burst out in the East completely shocked Professor Spencer Winston and his team. What made them so crazy when their salary was less than 20 US dollars a month.

And what are those wooden shelves full of beads? They use them to complete those complicated formula calculations?

What a fucking international joke, is that thing magical?

Sean also airlifted a batch of computers immediately after finding out. If nothing else, time is money!

The lights are on in the laboratory 24 hours a day. You really have room and board in the laboratory, and you are doing research like crazy!

This forced the professor team to follow suit. There was no other way. They were the proposers of the framework. After the F6F was disassembled, its design ideas and concepts still needed to be answered by them.

Visible to the naked eye, the technologies they brought were conquered one by one in the laboratory, and then restored in the factory.

In just half a month, Professor Spencer Winston and his team felt like their bodies had been hollowed out.
Chapter completed!
