Chapter 90 Global Equipment Tendering Conference (1)
As a scavenger of the interstellar era who has been traveling in space since he was a child, what Zhu Bin is most accustomed to is actually the feeling of overlooking the earth from high altitude, even if he docks the spacecraft in the low-altitude orbit of the garbage star and scatters millions of tons of garbage.
Sprinkle it on the ground, the taste is very refreshing.
After coming to this strange world, after struggling for more than half a year, he was finally able to soar in the sky at a relatively comfortable speed with peace of mind. He couldn't help but dance the half-finished x211 test fighter like a wild horse, shouting and screaming.
An oversized bee vibrated its wings as wide as the wings and performed countless tricks, but it made everyone whose necks were about to break looking at it, and their hearts rose to their throats.
"He shouldn't have been allowed to go up there! I knew this kid would go crazy if he got the chance!"
Chen Shaokuan is such a strict and steady general, but he almost suffered internal injuries due to this act of anger. Looking back on all the things this guy has done since his debut, he finally decided that this is a character who "gives a little sunshine and shines". It is difficult to make him more stable.
Ascend to heaven!
He turned around and asked the pale-faced Assistant Wang: "Isn't there a communicator on the plane? Call him down! Tell him this is an order!"
"Oh! Okay!" Wang Zhu suddenly remembered that there was such a magical weapon. He nodded hurriedly in agreement, turned around and trotted all the way to the temporary transmitting tower erected next to him, grabbing the microphone and calling out.
Zhu Bin, who was forgetful about playing in the sky, suddenly noticed that the indicator light on the dashboard kept flashing. After thinking about it, he realized that it was a call prompt. He hurriedly pressed the switch and heard Assistant Wang's urgent call: "You're almost done playing."
Ah! Come down quickly! The new machine cannot withstand such a torment!"
Zhu Bin curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "The things I designed are not that fragile, and the engine performance is good... Okay, okay, here it comes!"
Upon hearing this, even Chen Shaokuan became anxious and secretly thought that these people were making such a big fuss. Where are they? Unwilling to look down, he saw that under the cover of high clouds, the huge Shanghai city looked like it was laid out in the vast sky.
In a grid between the vast river and the sea, countless ship masts shuttle in and out of the Huangpu River, and their fine white wakes shine brightly in the sun, like a vivid picture.
"It feels so good in the sky!" Reluctantly, he raised the engine power to the highest level, pushed the aircraft's speed to the limit of 496 kilometers and sprinted for a minute. He turned around and lowered the altitude while slowing down, and finally reached a steady speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
It landed on the runway, taxied for more than 100 meters, turned around and stopped.
Sitting in the cockpit, he closed his eyes and savored it for dozens of seconds. He nodded with satisfaction, opened the hatch cover and rushed out, giving a thumbs up to Wang Zhu and others: "This is a great job! The plane is gone."
What’s wrong with it? It’s better than I thought! But it may not be suitable for small people to drive.”
At the beginning of the design, he subconsciously made it according to his own body shape. Now it seems that Asians who are generally not very tall may find it difficult to sit in it and need to adjust the seat height.
Wang Zhu nodded repeatedly, wiped his sweat vigorously, looked up and down and found that he was in no condition, and then asked the engineers to climb on the plane and check it again. No signs of smoking, deformed cracks were found, so he felt relieved.
"Bah, bah, bah," a storm of applause!
Zhu Bin happily accepted their applause. Test-flying a new fighter plane was basically a life-threatening act. As a wealthy man with a bright future and a young hero, Zhu Bin dared to risk his own life. This courage deserves to be commended.
!The key is that with his demonstration, other pilots will have the courage and confidence to continue the next test flight. This beginning is so important and precious!
Chen Shaokuan tried his best to calm down his emotions, looked him up and down, and said with great interest: "I didn't expect that you are so skilled in flying airplanes. I don't know what else you don't understand."
Zhu Bin smiled and said modestly: "In general, this thing is similar to driving a car. Except that it is faster, it is really not difficult. If you are willing, you can learn it in a few hours."
"Hmph! Stop being such a mouthful." Chen Shaokuan doesn't want to flatter you. How can it be so easy to train a pilot? Just looking at the instrument panel and operating it is complicated enough, not to mention the key sense of spatial direction. That requires talent and courage.
Combined with luck, if not, wouldn’t all the pilots be dissatisfied?
In fact, in Zhu Bin's opinion, this kind of primitive propeller aircraft is really not difficult. As long as you are not illiterate, it is completely feasible to drive it like a car. It is just that this thing is more expensive, and an accident or something may be fatal. For those who are poor,
It is indeed very luxurious for the Chinese people--each one costs tens of thousands of dollars!
But for Europeans and Americans, it’s not a big deal at all. Don’t you see that farmers fly airplanes to spread pesticides? When Gonglang’s children were fourteen or fifteen years old, they dared to climb up and toss themselves, and they didn’t die.
How many. Those who went to play dogfights in the skies of Europe more than ten years ago may not be all talented young people. As long as they have the conditions to train, pilots of this level can definitely be productive!
Of course, there is no harm in saying less nonsense to the old-fashioned and serious Minister Chen. He promised Wang to help them go back and quickly compile a summary of flight experience and technology, and then followed Chen Shaokuan and left the shipyard - everyone was very busy.
!
Along the way, Minister Chen's adjutant Zheng Datang glanced at this guy with envious eyes from time to time. He felt weird in his heart. It seemed that whenever the officer was with this guy, he would always feel better and spend more time laughing than usual in a year.
, does this kid have any magic tricks?
Zhu Bin didn't think anything of it and just said whatever he wanted. Little did he know that this kind of style was something that Chen Shaokuan rarely saw and came into contact with. Because he had always been upright and strict, most people kept him at a distance, and his subordinates were in awe of him.
Jingjia, who dares to talk and laugh freely like this guy? Chen Shaokuan is not a strategist like Lao Jiang who likes to hide his thoughts from others, and is not allowed to speak out if he guesses, but he needs someone like him.
People who are closer to you.
Sitting in the minister's car, Chen Shaokuan said with unfinished meaning: "If there had been a large group of such fighters a few months ago, the Japanese army would not have been able to tolerate such arrogance and wantonness in Shanghai. What a pity! However, if we can maintain such an advantage in the future, our country's coastal defense will be stable."
!Hanchen, you should work harder and build the ship-based model as soon as possible. I look forward to seeing those two warships return home."
Zhu Bin agreed: "Yes! It is actually very easy to change the carrier type. If you move quickly, you may be able to catch up with the bidding meeting next month. However, you need to train enough pilots. Those who are 'lost' at those critical moments
, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to. Also, have you selected the person who will go to the United States to receive the warship?”
Chen Shaokuan's face trembled slightly, revealing a hint of helplessness: "The national conditions are like this, there is nothing we can do. The candidates should be out soon. As for the pilots, I will think of another way. After all, this is China's first aircraft carrier, and foreigners cannot be hired under any circumstances.
Help fly the fighter plane."
Zhu Bin curled his lips and secretly criticized the procrastination of the domestic politicians. Since the ownership of the warships was determined in March, the country began to select naval personnel to be accepted in the United States, a total of 500 people, and the rest were temporarily made up by the U.S. Navy. When I heard that,
If you have the opportunity to go abroad, you have to stay for at least three months. The navy is very lively! Not only the first and second fleets, but also the third fleet in Qingdao and the fourth fleet in Guangdong, which do not obey the central command, are also jumping around.
They were fighting for places, and it was a mess!
It happened that during this period, Chen Shaokuan was not around, and the impeachment case of Deputy Secretary Li Shijia and the "Declaration" were published. During the Anti-Japanese War, he not only refused to lend steel plates to the 19th Route Army to build fortifications, but also went to the battlefield with Japanese commanders at the front
They walked together for two hours, and he said with certainty that he had negotiated a non-aggression agreement with the Japanese army, which made Li Shijia dizzy and unable to take care of it. And Chiang Kai-shek wanted to take this opportunity to insert a group of his own people into the two powerful ships.
The battleship was directly controlled by him, and he started tossing it around. Only now has the dust finally settled.
In addition to this, the modified aircraft carrier requires at least forty or fifty pilots to fly the carrier-based aircraft. It is also a new fighter designed and manufactured by Zhu Bin. With the few Jerusalem artichokes currently available in the Air Force, Zhu Bin does not like it at all. Other aspects
He was worried, so he thought he could just hire Americans to help him open it.
However, who is willing to agree to such a face-saving thing! Two battleships require nearly 2,000 people to operate. I really can’t make up the people and have no experience, so I can only send people to help and learn from them, but flying a plane... it must be
You have to do it yourself!
This is not the end yet. Japan heard that China bought two large warships, and the money was paid by Zhu Bin, who had caused them huge losses. They gritted their teeth and declared that if these two ships dared to pass through Japanese waters, there would be no guarantee that they would
Safety. The subtext is, if you dare to drive back, I will sink it!
Thinking of this, Zhu Bin couldn't help but chuckle. If the Japanese really sent warships to intercept them, they would encounter dozens of carrier-based x211 fighters. Who knows how much fun it would be.
When Chen Shaokuan saw his smile, he knew what crooked idea this guy was planning, but he didn't want to ask more questions. He said calmly: "I have asked Director Ma Deji and others to try their best to help build the aircraft factory first and mobilize manpower to build it."
Fighter, choose a suitable time. You can take the team to fly to Nanjing and report to the Chairman in person."
Although he doesn't like to flatter and go through the back door, Chen Shaokuan is still willing to mention capable juniors like Zhu Bin. Presumably Chairman Chiang and Mrs. Song will feel better when they see such advanced fighters, right? Zhu Bin is not that bad.
Two dollars.
"Yes, I will do it beautifully." Zhu Bin agreed simply. This step must be taken sooner or later. Spend a little money to make it smooth and do it.
Chen Shaokuan left Shanghai with satisfaction and rushed to Nanjing to busy with his work. Zhu Bin was not idle either. In mid-June, manufacturers from all over the world who were preparing to participate in the "Global Express Logistics" grand investment fair began to arrive. They were preparing to bid for the competition.
Products with orders worth tens of millions were brought out, and an unprecedented bidding meeting was held at the venue opened on the dock of Shenchang Yangshuang Company in Yangshupu.
This time, the first batch of port terminals and container transportation facilities, equipment for express delivery companies, and weapons and equipment for defense companies will be determined for the "Global Communications" company. The initial order is more than 50 million U.S. dollars. The key is to also decide
Larger orders were placed in the following three years, including 10,000-ton cargo ships worth one to two million US dollars each, thousands of heavy-duty trucks, large transport aircraft, etc., all of which were top-notch industrial products.
Since the news of the tender was released, major manufacturers from all over the world have responded. Forced by the economic crisis, they seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. Thousands of people signed up, even Japan and Soviet Russia, which were clearly unpopular.
I desperately wanted to participate, and it was so popular that it even surpassed the Chicago International Exposition that was being prepared.
Zhu Bin, who had taken root at the dock venue for several days in a row, directing the installation of large tower cranes and loading and unloading equipment jointly manufactured by Jiangnan Shipyard and Offshore Equipment Institute, watched the freighter from the United States unload the Boeing prototype, with a strange smile on his face and whispered
Naogu: "You are such a jerk. If you don't give me face, you will become disgraced if I don't play with you!"
