The place Xing Baohua came to wasn't exactly close to Nandu City; it was located a little northeast of the city and surrounded by mountains.
I really don't know the exact location. Sitting in the car, we drove around and around the mountain road, and I couldn't tell which way was which.
But he knew that the deeper he went into the mountains, the higher the level of secrecy would be.
Jin Xin and Xie Yingying came with him. When they arrived, they saw several people who came to greet them, but they didn't recognize any of them.
After being introduced, I learned that these people were the heads of this base, which was under the jurisdiction of District J of Nandu.
At that time, it was also divided into seven major J-zones, named after the seven provincial capitals.
The base is named after a guesthouse, and it does indeed function as a guesthouse on the surface, offering accommodation and entertainment. But Xing Baohua doesn't believe it doesn't have other functions. Who would set up a guesthouse in the mountains for no reason?
If we're talking about nursing homes, that's fine; places with green mountains and clear waters are also good for people.
Upon arrival, Xing Baohua was led into a large conference room with a long table in the middle and many chairs on both sides.
There were already quite a few people waiting for him inside. As soon as he stepped inside, a chill ran down his spine. What was dazzling brilliance? It was right before his eyes.
Two had three stars, several had two stars, and quite a few had one star. As for the remaining ones with two or three cents, I didn't even count them; quite a few of them were wearing suits or Zhongshan suits.
This scene really frightened Xing Baohua.
This is……
Before he could react, someone introduced Xing Baohua to the General Zhang from the General Armament Department and the Deputy Director Liu from the Southern Metropolis Daily Region.
It took more than ten minutes just to introduce these people. Each person shook hands with Xing Baohua and exchanged a few pleasantries, making Xing Baohua feel flattered and her heart flutter a little.
The scene was huge, and it was quite startling. I've never seen so many Venusians at the base in the capital.
Afterwards, everyone sat down and arranged for Xing Baohua to sit next to General Manager Zhang. Xing Baohua declined at length, but finally sat down reluctantly. They had invited him here today to discuss some matters, and sitting next to him would make it easier to chat.
Xie Yingying and Jin Xin could only sit on chairs not far behind Xing Baohua; neither of them had ever stood so upright before.
As soon as Xing Baohua sat down, a staff member placed some documents in front of him. The top page contained a drawing of a transport plane with small mushrooms on it.
Looking closely at the picture, the model doesn't seem to be from the An series. Perhaps with this doubt in mind, I turned my head and glanced at Jin Xin behind me.
When Jin Xin reported to him, he said that someone wanted to order several An-series transport aircraft. But the drawings didn't look like them. What was going on?
Perhaps noticing Xing Baohua's confusion, the manager, Mr. Zhang, asked someone to explain the situation to Xing Baohua. A short while later, a middle-aged man in a navy blue suit came over and stood next to Xing Baohua to explain the aircraft.
Xing Baohua turned her head and glanced at the man, feeling that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
The other party introduced himself as an engineer from Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group (XAC) supporting Pengfei.
After a few minutes of explanation, Xing Baohua finally understood why this aircraft didn't look like an An series model.
We need to change the appearance and also combine the advantages of multiple aircraft to make it our own.
Currently, there are the An series, the Il series, Hercules and McDonnell Douglas, and there is also the A series that Xing Baohua brought back from the country of the Rooster.
Xing Baohua had people study most of the good stuff he brought back from outside, and there were no problems with changing the appearance. The only problem was the engine, but Xing Baohua also helped solve that. When Pengfei was established, it brought the engine with it. Whether it was a one-to-one imitation or reverse engineering, adding some of its own features, it could achieve self-sufficiency in engine manufacturing.
Not to mention, before the Lunar New Year, Xing Baohua made a big gamble with Da Ying and brought back Da Lao's turbojet engine. He has almost mastered the blueprints and technology, making it easier to produce precision-machined parts that are monopolized by the West. This is all thanks to the five-axis linkage that Xing Baohua brought back a few years ago.
With a solid foundation in basic industries, what are we waiting for? Let's build them ourselves! Stop imitating the Soviet Union or the United States, and showcase our own level of craftsmanship and unique aircraft to the world.
However, the only production line wasn't as fully operational as Xing Baohua's. They wanted to use Pengfei's production line to produce a few aircraft first, and then transfer the production line to Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group after the latter had its production line installed.
Jin Xin didn't express his meaning clearly, so he changed it to criticism. Xing Baohua thought it was a revision based on the An series.
Okay, no problem. It's just taking up a production line, it's not a big deal. Xing Baohua immediately agreed.
If the research and development funds are insufficient, he can contribute some of his own.
Ah, you've hit the nail on the head. That's the point of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group (XAC) occupying Pengfei's production line. They're using Xing Baohua's experienced workers and production materials to support XAC temporarily. They'll repay XAC when they have the funds.
Then a purchasing staff member from the final assembly department said to Xing Baohua, "Mr. Xing, you are a chip expert. We would like to install a few processors on this Sky Eye machine. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Xing Baohua knew that this person's surname was Zhao, and the big gold star on his shoulder indicated that he held a high position in the General Armament Department. When he was introduced earlier, he seemed to have been called a staff officer, but he didn't know if he had a rank of chief.
My head was buzzing at the time and I didn't pay attention. I guess he was the head of the household, otherwise he wouldn't have had a chance to speak.
"Well... I really don't have any good suggestions. First, I think you can get your hands on the chips that are currently available on the market. You know in your hearts whether they can be used or not. Also, I don't know the specific parameters of your equipment. Some chips are based on practicality, and it's not necessarily true that the better or more expensive they are, the better they are. Like the T34, it's simple, straightforward, durable and cheap."
Chief of Staff Zhao said, "It's true what you said. We've tested all the chips on the market, and only your Loongson chip is cheap. The data from external sources and our data match, but during our testing, we found that it doesn't work."
