Siheyuan: Originally I just wanted to be a little transparent

Nie Lao thought for a moment and said: "In January last year, our J-7 had already successfully tested."

"Then by April last year, we had produced 12 J-7s for multiple rounds of testing."

"So far, we have an experimental squadron equipped with our J-7 fighters."

Hearing this, Lin Shengli nodded and said, "Well, Mr. Nie, you must have seen these fighters with your own eyes. You must also know about their performance and technology, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, let's talk about the J-6 first. Although it is a copy of Mao Xiong's MiG-19, it is undeniable that at least among first-generation aircraft, Mao Xiong's MiG-19 is definitely the well-deserved leader."

"In some aspects, it is even comparable to the so-called second-generation aircraft in Europe and the United States."

"As for Shenfei, if we can thoroughly understand the technology inside and improve the J-6 we have already produced, then we can quickly equip a large-scale fighter jet that is basically as good as the second-generation J-[-]. The air force team is coming."

"And another advantage of doing this is that they will complete a good accumulation of technology. In this case, it will play a good role in promoting their subsequent development of the J-8."

"After all, we already have experience and the technology has been settled. The next road will be easier."

"As for the J-7s that we have now equipped with a squadron, I think, in addition to economic problems, I am afraid that our comrades in the Air Force still have higher expectations for the current J-7s, right?"

"Now, if we directly hand over the research and development and manufacturing of third-generation aircraft to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, we will jump directly from the first-generation aircraft to the second-generation aircraft and those still under development. On to the third-generation aircraft.”

"Technically, this is not as simple as one plus one."

"You must know that the technological changes in each generation of fighter aircraft are earth-shaking."

"In this case, I am very worried that not only the third-generation machines we are going to build will have problems later."

"Even the research and development ideas for the quasi-second-generation aircraft and second-generation aircraft they are currently working on will be disrupted, causing problems there as well."

"In this case, the gains outweigh the losses!"

"There is another very important point. Why our country has been advocating third-line construction in recent years is not because of some special international environment."

"This Shen Fei is too close over there!"

"As the saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in one basket!"

"If something really happens, if we concentrate all the aviation power in the country in one place over there, we really won't be afraid of beating the odds!"

"So I think we might as well take advantage of the opportunity of developing third-generation aircraft to establish a new fighter research and development institution."

"If we choose a location, we should try our best to locate it in our inland hinterland."

"And I think our future fighter research and development can be the equipment generation, research and development generation, and pre-research generation."

"In this way, we will not only be able to cultivate a large number of talents in aviation, but also maintain our strength in the aviation field, and we will always be at the forefront of the world."

Mr. Nie actually agreed with Lin Shengli's explanations, but there were some issues that Mr. Nie still couldn't figure out for a while.

So Nie Lao asked: "Shengli, I personally support what you said."

"But as you said, if you want to build a new institution for fighter aircraft research and development, it is best to locate it inland."

"No matter how I look at your requirements, I think Cheng Fei is completely suitable."

"You really might as well take over Chengdu and renovate it later."

"The address, personnel, equipment and factory buildings are all ready-made, so why do you need to start a new one?"

"Although this matter may be difficult for others, as long as you bring it up, I think the top management will agree."

Regarding Nie Lao's words, Lin Shengli shook his head helplessly and said:

"Old Nie, you think too highly of me."

"You must also know that under the general trend, the power of an individual is always small."

"You should know better than me what the situation is over there at Cheng Fei."

"Perhaps you think that after I made the request, the higher-ups should agree to it."

"But, isn't there another saying, it's called being arrogant because of favor, and going too far is not enough."

"I made this request. Maybe the higher-ups won't think so, but what do other comrades think and see?"

"Do they think that you, Lin Shengli, have already established an independent kingdom of steel rolling mills, so why don't you want to stretch your hands even further and get involved in another large military industrial enterprise?"

"To be honest, Mr. Nie, with my small body, I don't think I can withstand those big winds and waves." "And if I start a new business now, it is nominally just to not put all my eggs in one basket. "

"Besides, I am just building a laboratory, not really building another large military industrial enterprise like Shenyang Aircraft Company or Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Company."

"You also know my situation. I am a steel rolling mill and have a bunch of part-time jobs. I am already too busy. It is very important for me to allocate my energy to manage a large military enterprise. It is simply impossible for an enterprise to engage in the development and production of third-generation aircraft.”

"But, here we go again, if this department that is engaged in developing third-generation aircraft is managed by another person, who do you think can be qualified for this job?"

"Who can guarantee that he will not turn the newly acquired company into the same situation as Chengdu Aircraft Corporation?"

"If this is the case, then all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

"So, my meaning is very clear."

"This time I'm going to start a new business and take the path of separating production and research."

"I will build several large factories on the open space of the fourth branch of our steel rolling mill, and transfer the scientific research and key management personnel who are currently sent to the workshop to work here."

"After all, they have been decentralized to work, so wherever they go to work, it is not labor."

"As long as these people arrive at the steel rolling mill and how they work, it's up to us to close the door and decide for ourselves."

"This is better than letting these useful talents sit there and go to waste due to various reasons."

"As for the production site, it's better to say."

"Mr. Nie, if I remember correctly, in order to better produce the J-7 in the future, are we planning to increase investment in Chengdu Aircraft and carry out comprehensive technological transformation on Chengdu Aircraft?"

"It seems that the construction of the factory area will be expanded, new factories will be built, and various new equipment and facilities will be added?"

Hearing what Lin Shengli said, Mr. Nie asked in surprise: "Shengli, where did you get the news?"

"You must know that the meeting to study this issue was held not long ago, and there are only a few people who know about it?"

Lin Shengli smiled and did not answer Nie Lao's question directly, but pointed to his head.

Nie Lao nodded knowingly and did not continue to say anything on this matter.

Lin Shengli continued: "So Mr. Nie, considering the current situation, this is what I think."

"Since we are going to carry out a comprehensive technical transformation of Chengdu Aircraft, we might as well change the name. Instead of directly carrying out renovation and upgrading of the existing Chengdu Aircraft, we will replace the new factories that are about to be built with new ones. The equipment goes out independently.”

"We will build a second-generation aircraft factory at the original location, or a supporting factory for third-generation aircraft. It doesn't matter what it is called."

"The important thing is that our newly built factories and equipment must play their role."

"Rather than for some reason, we have invested, expanded, and upgraded our technology, but we still leave it in a chaotic state of paralysis."

"In that case, not only will our third-generation machine fail to be produced, but it may also turn the place into a long-standing troubled unit that has been losing money year after year."

"As for the newly built industrial base, it is hung under the laboratory of the steel rolling mill, and its level is rated low."

"This factory is only responsible for production and is not involved in anything else."

"In this case, if you think about it, we don't have to meddle with someone else's one-third of an acre of land, and we can revitalize the existing stagnant water, and we can also ensure that our investment will not be wasted."

"Why not do this kind of thing that kills three birds with one stone!"

"And I always believe that the storm will eventually pass."

"When that day comes, the researchers who are doing research in the steel rolling mill, the independent factories, equipment, various production processes and technologies, and the workers, they can all go back to Chengfei. "

"In other words, our new Chengfei can merge with the old Chengfei and give birth to a newer Chengfei."

"In fact, no matter how things change, our purpose is not to enable our aviation industry to continue to maintain a healthy development."

"Okay, what a kill!" After listening to Lin Shengli's words, Mr. Nie also said excitedly.

"Comrade Shengli, I understand what you mean. Don't worry. I personally will definitely fully support your plan."

"After all, it is really not easy to find a new way to allow our aviation industry to continue to develop healthily."

"But Comrade Shengli, after all, this matter is of great importance. I will definitely report it to the top, and then we need to have a meeting to study and discuss it."

"This final answer can only be given to you clearly after the meeting." (End of Chapter)
