"We make domestic switches."
Su Luo replied.
"Huh? Are the quality of domestic switches good enough now?" Zhang Yueru was a little surprised. "Aren't foreign ones said to be cheaper and more stable?"
"That's true, but my friend and I are working together and we don't plan to use foreign switches. We plan to produce and sell them ourselves and build our own domestic brand!"
Su Luo treated it as a normal chat and said casually:
"Using domestically produced products can accelerate the incubation of more domestic enterprises and promote the development of the national economy and production capacity."
As soon as Su Luo finished speaking, Zhang Zelin suddenly slapped his thigh and became excited:
"Good! Well said!"
"What a great saying! Using domestic products can accelerate the incubation of more national enterprises!!"
"Xiao Su, you're right!"
Su Luo: “…”
He never expected that Uncle Zhang would be so excited just because he said it casually.
At this time, Zhang Zelin raised his thumbs, his eyes full of admiration for Su Luo, but soon, his expression dimmed a little:
"What a pity! I dream of being like you, Xiao Su, and promoting the development of our domestic products, but there's nothing I can do..."
"I hope that under your guidance, the switch will continue to improve. As you said, more related industries will be incubated to promote the development of our national industry!"
Zhang Yueru glanced at her father. As a daughter, she certainly knew why he sighed.
Mu Yunxin glanced at Su Luo with a sidelong glance, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
When Su Luo was praised, she actually felt infinite pride in her heart!
"Uncle Zhang, what domestic products are you talking about?" Su Luo couldn't help but ask.
It would have been fine if he hadn't asked. As soon as he asked, Zhang Zelin sighed heavily again, "Ah..."
Su Luo: “…”
Uncle, stop sighing and speak!
"Su Luo, don't worry about my dad." Zhang Yueru pushed her father's arm and said:
"He thinks every day about investing in the production of large domestic aircraft so that our own airports can use domestic large passenger aircraft. But how can that be so simple?"
"It's not like you can just produce it."
"Why……"
Zhang Zelin sighed heavily again.
"I thought the Y10 flight was the beginning, but more than ten years later, there's still no news. It's all for nothing."
"But I won't give up. If I have money, I'll invest it in aircraft research. I believe that one day, our country will be able to use its own large aircraft!"
"I will definitely see that day!"
Zhang Zelin knocked on the table, his eyes burning with ambition.
"Dad, if you say that, Su Luo won't be able to understand you. Instead, he'll think you're too weird~"
Zhang Yueru shook her head helplessly, then looked at Su Luo and explained:
"My great-grandfather was a wartime pilot, and my grandfather was one of the first air force after the founding of New China, so my father has always had an obsession, which is to produce our own large aircraft."
"But that thing is not that simple, it's much more complicated than a fighter plane!"
"So that's how it is..." Su Luo nodded to show his understanding, and his gaze towards Zhang Zelin changed slightly.
Su Luo knew that the Y10 that Zhang Zelin mentioned should be the Yun-10 passenger aircraft produced by China, which made its "maiden flight" in Shanghai in 1980.
At that time, everyone who paid attention to this matter was extremely excited, thinking it was a historic beginning.
result……
Time has passed, more than thirty or forty years have passed, and the Y10 is still parked at an airport somewhere on the outskirts of Shanghai.
Take off from there, return there, and finally fall silent...
It can be said that large aircraft are the dream of generations of Chinese people!
Moreover, Su Luo also knew that in 2023, China's own large aircraft C919 achieved its first commercial flight...
I don’t know if Zhang Zelin can see that day?
Speaking of this topic, Su Luo was also filled with emotion.
The road ahead for domestically-produced large aircraft is long and arduous!
China has the strongest army, but its navy and air force have always been restrained.
For this reason, foreigners were still commenting on China at that time, saying that China "has never entered the jet age" and is "an eagle without wings"!
For foreigners who have absolute air superiority, they also have enough arrogance and conceit...
“It’s not easy, but you have to do it!”
Just as Su Luo was lost in thought, Zhang Zelin spoke again:
"Are you not going to do it just because it's a little difficult? Then when can we finally get on our own big plane?"
"I unconditionally support our country's development of its own large aircraft. I just can't contribute the manpower. I don't have the brains, but I can still contribute some money."
"Dad, don't invest recklessly. Have you forgotten that there will be a bidding later? Save some money!" Zhang Yueru was afraid that her father would act on impulse and invest money in some large aircraft research and development, so she quickly reminded him.
"The bidding is none of our business. The amount is too big for us to handle." Zhang Zelin shook his head.
"Mom told you to try, what if no one bids? And didn't she say she could find someone to help with the funding?"
The father and daughter did not regard Su Luo and Mu Yunxin as outsiders at all, and had already started discussing among themselves.
"Your mother's words are not credible, and I don't want to cooperate with others. It's boring."
Zhang Zelin waved his hand.
"Uncle Zhang, can I ask what the bid is?"
Su Luo couldn't help but interject.
"Tianhai, you guys are planning to build a large airport on a piece of land soon. They're calling for bidding, but I don't think it's going to be easy. It's too big a project for most people to handle."
