Chapter 629 Tens of thousands of tons of technical data
"With your words, I feel confident."
Nian Haihong said in a deep voice, "When the lm2500 was introduced, the Americans were opposed to our domestic research. After difficult negotiations, they agreed to guide us in conducting research other than the core machine. The domestic rate should not exceed 100%.
Fifty."
Sighing, Nian Haihong said, "Unexpectedly, people are not as good as God. After the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the international situation completely changed overnight. Our work has just been fully launched. At that time, I was the director of the Research Institute of Jichai Power Plant and represented
Jichai participated in this project. It could have continued. Even if we invested a little money every year to maintain it, we could still make breakthroughs in some key technologies over time."
"Unfortunately, at that time, the evil belief that it was better to buy than to rent was getting more and more serious. After the domestic large aircraft project was cancelled, the large gas turbine project was not immune. All the research data at that time were sealed, and later in an inexplicable fire
All were destroyed. To pick it up again now, we can only rely on the memory of the technicians who participated in the project at that time. The difficulty is not as big as one or two."
Everyone was silent.
Zhan Chenggui is a new generation of scientific researchers, and An Huai is a returnee from overseas. They have not experienced the atmosphere of the 1980s, but they can completely understand Nian Haihong's mood.
Zhan Chenggui said in a deep voice, "We, China, are a big country. At that time, the great teachers did not hesitate to swallow their humiliation and promote the construction of 156 industrial projects aided by the Soviet Union. The purpose was to give China a complete industrial system. We must be able to build what others can build, and what others can build
We must be able to build what we cannot build. History tells us that pinning our hopes on foreigners will not work, and sooner or later we will have to pay a huge price."
"When I was working at Cleese Laboratory in the United States, when Americans talked about China, what they were most afraid of was that our industrial production capacity would catch up. From a military perspective, strong industrial production capacity is a powerful force for the final victory of the war.
Guarantee, Americans have proven this to the whole world in the two world wars." An Huai said seriously, "Large aircraft, large gas turbines, these are strategic core industrial products, and what matters is the choke point.
The problem is, those who put forward the theory that it is better to rent than buy rather than buy, are fundamentally bad and their intentions are to be punished.”
Yao Yuan admires Anhuai's ability to keep a clear head on big issues of right and wrong, so he feels comfortable entrusting him with the important task of supply chain management related to the group's strategy. If he is a crooked person, he might turn the company into an American.
company, as Liu Mei thought.
"Yes, since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, I have been to Eastern Europe, Ukraine, and Russia twice. Now that we have this opportunity to speed up and catch up with some progress, we should seize it at all costs. We have been lagging behind for many years. In addition to leapfrog development,
There is no second way, but we must also clearly realize that the gap between us and the United States is huge, and it is impossible to achieve breakthrough progress in all fields. However, in key areas, I hope that by the next century
In the first ten years, we can be on the same level as the United States. Lao Zhan, this is my request for Chunfeng Academy of Sciences."
Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "There are so many technical materials shipped back from the former Soviet Union. I remember there should be hundreds of wagons. Don't let these technical materials pile up in the warehouse and get moldy. Use them all."
Zhan Chenggui did not expect that Yao Yuan would suddenly change the topic to this aspect. He said, "This can't be done. Our scientific research team is already very large. The European R&D center of Weihua Company has recruited thousands of scientists and technicians."
Staff, at the Novosibirsk R&D Center, the scientific research team has expanded to 5,000 people, and our Chunfeng Academy of Sciences headquarters has tens of thousands of people, which has..."
"There are 20,000 people in the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences?" Nian Haihong couldn't help but ask.
Zhan Chenggui nodded, "Yes, we are preparing to build a Beijing R&D center and a Shanghai R&D center. After establishment, the size of the scientific research team will reach 30,000 people. But even so, it is impossible to use all the technical data from the former Soviet Union.
.”
After a pause, Zhan Chenggui explained, "Uncle Nian, what you don't know is that we bought back a large amount of technical data from the former Soviet Union. There were all kinds of materials in all fields, and some of them were simply treated as waste paper.
What was sold weighed tens of thousands of tons and took more than 700 wagons to transport back."
Tens of thousands of tons of technical data!
He smiled wryly and said, "It even contains technical information about the Soyuz launch vehicle."
Nian Haihong and An Huai were both dumbfounded. Yao Yuan was also dumbfounded. He didn't know either!
"Not to mention other things, we haven't even finished the sorting and sorting work yet. It's all in Russian." Zhan Chenggui shook his head helplessly.
Yao Yuan asked, "What technical information does the Soyuz launch vehicle have?"
"Qujinshaoliang has all kinds of things, including engines, control systems, and bits and pieces. I have preserved them according to the standards of special-grade technical information." Zhan Chenggui said.
Yao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay, that's good."
After pondering for a while, Yao Yuan said, "The manpower problem can be solved in this way. On the one hand, we recruit from within the country, and on the other hand, we make use of those former Soviet scientists and give them some motivation to help us find people. There is no limit on the scope of technical expertise, and there is no limit on the number of recruits.
Limit, as much as you want."
"The labor costs alone will increase a lot every year." Zhan Chenggui is often frightened by the huge daily expenses of Chunfeng Academy of Sciences, even though he has been working for so long.
Yao Yuan waved his hand and said, "There is no need to consider the cost issue. We have to ignore the cost now. If we don't invest more money, we have to invest more time. I would rather choose the former. Taking a step back, setting up a
Out of thousands of projects, even if only one project can bring commercial benefits, it is still a good deal."
Zhan Chenggui smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Yao, you have to send me someone who specializes in money management and daily management. I spend most of my time on daily management now, and I have less and less time to do research. This
How can it be done?"
Now Zhan Chenggui is at a critical moment in establishing his status as a technology giant. The key is that he is not greedy for power, and in his heart, apart from scientific research, he is still doing scientific research.
Yao Yuan understood very well and said, "Your position remains unchanged, but you will only be in charge of scientific research. I will arrange for people to take care of other tasks. You can rest assured to carry out your scientific research."
"Okay, okay." Zhan Chenggui breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is because Zhan Chenggui is too young and lacks the experience in running such a large scientific research institution. As the executive vice president, he can completely delegate other tasks to other vice presidents. He only needs to seize the budget allocation and
Scientific research work will be worry-free.
However, he is a relatively simple-minded person and is not suitable to be a leader on his own.
Yao Yuan had his own considerations. He smiled and said to Nian Haihong, "Uncle Nian, use this year to make a transition. Next year, you will go to Chunfeng Academy of Sciences to work with Zhan Chenggui. Of course, you will still be responsible for the large gas turbine project, and you will still be Jichai."
Chief Engineer of the Power Plant."
It sounded like he wanted to seize power, but Nian Haihong couldn't help but agreed, "Okay, this is good, this is good, Jichai Power Plant is on track, and several other young leading cadres are doing a good job. I
This old bone should have given way long ago, and the best time left is to engage in scientific research."
"Uncle Nian, you are not yet sixty years old, it is time to start your career..."
