Chapter 136: The loudest hindsight

Song Xilai nodded: "Someone from the aircraft factory? I have a cousin who is one of their deputy directors. What do you want to do?"

When Cheng Hui smiled, she knew that he had a strong network of connections.

"I want to take a look at the plane." Cheng Hui said.

Song Xilai smiled: "For such a small matter, you can ask Zhao Daxing to do it... Of course, uncle can do it too."

It feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Cheng Hui smiled and whispered, "I don't think I can use Uncle Zhao. If I do, I might have to depend on him. I heard that Uncle Zhao didn't make some of the parts the aircraft factory needed."

She had long coveted the aircraft factory with 100,000 employees; one of them would be enough to feed her.

But as she often hung out in the machinery factory, she had seen Zhao Daxing receiving people from the aircraft factory several times, and heard them arguing.

At that time, the idea of ​​letting Zhao Daxing lead the way was abandoned.

Song Xilai smiled: "You are really thoughtful. I forgot that it is really impossible to find him! When do you want to see it? I can take you there now.

"But you also know that it's a defense factory. If you want to see the planes, you can only look at them from outside the airfield. You can't go in."

When Cheng Hui said she wanted to see an airplane, Song Xilai believed her easily, because airplanes were such rare things that if ordinary people could get close to one, they would be able to brag about it for years when they got home.

Cheng Hui is not very old, so it is normal for her to be curious.

"Let's go, I'll just take a look and go home, I'm busy making Spring Festival couplets." Cheng Hui said.

"Okay, let's go." Song Xilai said.

After driving for more than half an hour, a few people entered the aircraft factory area.

This is the boss's area. There is actually a large machinery factory inside, which is even more powerful than Zhao Daxing's machinery factory. It mainly produces various weapons and military supplies.

She couldn't say that she was interested in cannons, because even if she was interested, no one would let her see them.

After passing through this large machinery factory with 400,000 employees, you will reach the aircraft factory.

The car was stopped outside the gate because the access control of the defense factory was strict.

Song Xilai got out of the car and used the guard's phone to call his cousin down.

He was surprisingly young, probably in his 40s, only a few years older than Song Xilai.

He was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, had a tall and thin figure, a serious face, a pale complexion, messy hair, and looked very depressed and fierce.

When he saw Song Xilai, he yelled, "You actually brought people here to visit? What do you think we are?"

Song Xilai immediately put his arm around his shoulders and said in a low voice, "Uncle! Keep your voice down! Give me some face!"

Just now Cheng Hui said that it’s not possible to find Zhao Daxing because he would have to read people’s faces. But now, even if I find him, I have to read his face? Where is his face!

He said angrily, "Don't talk like a chaste woman. It's not like your factory can't be visited! The guesthouse is so busy that it can't accommodate everyone!

"I'll just show her the planes. Don't you have a lot of old, retired planes that can't fly? And those planes that are sold out and anyone can see them. What's wrong with showing them to her?"

Xu Zheng stopped talking. It was true. They had an airport dedicated to parking scrapped aircraft. It was filled with old helicopters imported from abroad in the 1940s and 1950s. They were not afraid of people seeing them.

Considering that Song Xilai rarely called him "uncle", Xu Zheng pushed up his glasses and glanced at the three people who were taking notes. He said impatiently, "Let's go. Finish reading quickly and leave quickly. I'm busy!"

He wouldn't come down unless someone he knew came to pick them up.

Song Xilai returned to Cheng Huigaoyuan and said embarrassedly, "My uncle is like this. He is a technician and doesn't understand the ways of the world. When I see him like this, I know that he has encountered a technical problem and has not solved it, so he is in a bad mood."

Cheng Hui nodded: "I understand."

She really understood it. Many confidential files were deciphered in later generations, among which it was said that this aircraft factory had started researching new aircraft since the 1960s, and had been researching for more than 10 years, with two models in a row, but none of them were successful, and finally the project was cancelled and shut down.

This should be the 10th year now, and the people involved must be worried sick.

But it’s a coincidence that my cousin is a technician.

"Uncle, how should I address my cousin? How about I call him uncle too? It's not nice to call him grandpa uncle." Cheng Hui said with a smile.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, let's call each other by our names. You can just call him uncle, Uncle Xu." Song Xilai said.

Xu Zheng was sitting in the passenger seat and looked back at Cheng Hui. The younger generation from the Song family? He is really good at getting close to people and becoming one with the Song family.

But he is in a very bad mood now, because a project that he has been researching for 10 years has just been stopped by notice!

As a supervisor, he now has to take a little girl who knows nothing about sightseeing and having fun.

It is true that a merchant woman does not know the sorrow of losing her country!

"Seniority cannot be messed up. You should just call me Director Xu." He said coldly.

Song Xilai happened to be sitting behind him. He immediately kicked the front seat, then turned around and smiled at Cheng Hui and Gao Yuan awkwardly.

Gao Yuan had a blank expression on his face, while Cheng Hui smiled at Song Xilai.

A few minutes later, the car drove to the abandoned airport.

"Just watch it here." Xu Zhengdao.

Song Xilai suddenly felt even more embarrassed. He had never been here before and thought this was at least an airport, so it was all the same.

So, is that a plane parked here? This is the wreckage of the plane!

Some were riddled with bullet holes or had been torn into pieces, with only a propeller or a tail left.

"Can I go in and take a look?" Cheng Hui asked.

Xu Zheng was about to say no, but Song Xilai said, "Are you afraid to watch it? If you say no, I'll be angry with you! Don't come to my house during the New Year this year, or my grandma will scold you to death!"

Xu Zheng's face darkened immediately and he said, "Just watch."

But he had to accompany her.

With a gloomy face, he followed Cheng Hui into the wreckage yard, no, the airport.

Cheng Hui suddenly pointed at an airplane and said, "Hey, is this the Hummingbird? It's considered China's first helicopter."

"How do you know?" Xu Zheng asked in surprise.

"I've seen it in a book. It's not a secret, right?" Cheng Hui said.

Xu Zheng didn't say anything. The "Hummingbird" was successfully developed in 1945. It has been obsolete for a long time and there is no confidential technology on it.

"Hey, is this Mi 1?" Cheng Hui asked again.

"How did you know?" Xu Zheng asked again, "Is this also printed in the book?"

"It's an old machine from the 1950s. Can't it be used to print books?" Cheng Hui said.

Xu Zheng stopped talking again.

"Huh? Is this Mi 4?" Cheng Hui asked again.

Although it is called 4, it is a contemporary product of 1.

Xu Zheng suddenly pointed at a wreckage nearby and asked, "What model is this?"

Cheng Hui only took two glances and said, "x6."

Xu Zheng suddenly became serious: "How did you know this?"

This aircraft has never been released because it was not successful at all. It is the one that was just ordered to be stopped.

"Because I know the X5, and I heard that the X6 is an enlarged version of it. I also heard my brother say something he heard his teacher say: The greatest significance of the X6 is that it has been studied and understood that a large aircraft is not an enlarged version of a small aircraft."

Xu Zheng's face instantly turned red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

He couldn't bear to hear these words. He wanted to die after hearing them.

But he still forced himself to ask, "Who is your brother's teacher?"

"I don't know. My brother studied mechanical design and had many teachers. He now works at the Beijing Mechanical Design Institute. I heard about him by chance." Cheng Hui said.

Xu Zheng's doubts were resolved and his vigilance was gone. It turned out that her sister was an expert, so it was normal for her to know these inside information.

"My brother's teacher also said that the main reason for the failure of the X6 was improper engine selection and that a single engine was unsafe..."

Cheng Hui talked about the comments he had read in popular science magazines in later generations.

The loudest sound comes after the fact.

Looking back at the technical challenges of 50 years ago from 50 years later, they are so clear and simple that it seems like child's play.

Cheng Hui read from the script.

Xu Zheng stared at her with his eyes wide open.

They failed, but now they don’t know the reason for the failure. If they knew, they would have changed it!

A bunch of professional terms appeared, and the laymen were confused. Song Xilai had long given up trying to understand them, and just looked at Cheng Hui with some pride and complacency.

He said, this is the Chinese version of Da Vinci, right?

But the expert listened attentively, Xu Zheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he forgot that Cheng Hui had just said "she heard".

The way she does it effortlessly is nothing like what you hear!

"So you said the engine should be a two-cylinder one? But the two-cylinder engine also encounters technical difficulties." Xu Zheng discussed with her.

"I know, I heard about it." Cheng Hui said, "But the teacher said that the engine should be designed like this... Go back to the car, I'll draw it for you."

It's very cold outside.

"Okay, okay, please!" Xu Zheng said naturally, then trotted all the way to lead Cheng Hui into the car and opened the door for her personally.
