"Ha ha, Professor Ding, Professor Sun and researcher Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time. Hurry, hurry, hurry. The stove in the rest room is on fire. Hurry in and get warm."
Wu Changcheng, the deputy director of the flight test center in military uniform, was outside the static test bench of the flight test center on the outskirts of the grain city. Looking at the gray haired, military overcoat clad but bookish old men coming down from the van, he quickly welcomed them.
Ding laixiang, the leader, quickly shook hands with Wu Changcheng with a smile: "this time I'm giving you trouble."
"Hey, what kind of trouble is that?" After hearing this, Wu Changcheng quickly waved his hand: "if it's trouble, I hope there will be more trouble in a year, so we don't have to guard an experimental base all day to be a bench."
Wu Changcheng is sincere. Since the late 1970s, the flight test center in the outer suburbs of the grain city has been getting worse day by day.
There's no way. Domestic aircraft models are chopping and chopping. The development status of the few remaining aircraft is not optimistic, and the funding is also very moving. The situation in the upstream is the same. It's conceivable that the static test and flight test as the terminal. Over the years, in addition to the static test of the fighter bombers from Northwest Airlines manufacturing factory, it's really difficult I didn't even see a piece of aircraft skin.
Under such circumstances, the flight test center, which was originally in a bad life, is even more difficult. Coupled with the continuous reduction of military expenditure, the flight test research institute affiliated to the air force is becoming more and more difficult.
If we were to be other troops, we might find some ways to do some side work to improve our life. The problem is that when we built this flight experiment center in those years, we didn't consider anything except military scientific research purposes, so that it was difficult for the whole experiment center to grow vegetables or raise pigs from other troops.
Because it is surrounded by saline land, there is nothing to grow, no crops, no pig.
In addition, aircraft test is a high-end thing that ordinary people do not know, and there is no possibility of outsourcing, so the high-end aircraft test center can only live on the poor funds from the superior.
It's OK in summer, even if it's hot, you can carry it with a fan. But in winter, the north wind blows in Guanzhong area, and it's so cold that people doubt it. It's sad when people live. Because of the lack of funds, fuel is in short supply, so they can only maintain the minimum temperature for the maintenance of key equipment. As for the personnel, they can save, which leads to the military coat of the test center becoming a specialty.
There is no way, in the case of fuel shortage, we can only rely on layers of military coats to cover our healthy spirit to resist the severe winter.
This is how the aircraft test center has survived for so many years. Originally, it was thought that 1987 was nothing special, so Wu Changcheng prepared his winter coat before winter.
At this time, Ding laixiang from China Western University of Aeronautics and Astronautics came to him and asked if he could help with an aircraft test experiment to demonstrate whether several scientific research projects met the theoretical requirements.
Wu Changcheng shakes his head like a rattle when he hears about scientific research tests. It's not that he can't do them. He really doesn't want to do them. It's just that such scientific research tests are basically done in vain. No matter good or bad, the test center will not get any benefits. On the contrary, because of the loss of various equipment, the test center will have to bear a large amount of maintenance costs .
If it's not bad for money, Wu Changcheng will agree. After all, he and Ding laixiang have been friends for so many years. The problem is that now they have to be careful and save money. They really don't have extra energy to spend on useless work.
However, before Wu Changcheng could say no, Ding laixiang's next words made Wu Changcheng instantly Petrochemical: "it won't let you work in vain. Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, which has jointly researched with us, has specially provided 300000 experimental funds. As long as you provide the site, we will bear the loss of experimental equipment."
It's all pretexts about the provision of venues and the loss of experimental equipment. After all, it's something for the army. Naturally, it's more euphemistic. But that's not the point. The point is the 300000 figure, which almost didn't make Wu Great Wall faint.
With so much money, Wu Changcheng can't believe his ears. How much did the northwest factory's fighter bombers give when they were tested a few years ago?
It seems that the higher authorities only allocated less than 100000 special funds.
But now Ding laixiang has given 300000 yuan to test a scientific research project. My God, the sideline of the flight experiment center is too fierce. Why don't you take it? It's a fool not to answer.
So Wu Changcheng patted his chest and accepted the matter, including the subsequent examination and approval. Then he ran back and forth between the military region and the air force headquarters several times and managed to get Ding laixiang's scientific research and experiment approval.
Then, Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation paid 100000 yuan in advance to the grain flight test center.
With money, we will naturally have the conditions to improve our living conditions. The most intuitive problem is the heating of the whole center. With the transportation of high-quality anthracite, the boilers and furnaces of the flight experiment center this winter can finally be opened.
The military coat Wu Changcheng had prepared before winter was useless, but the dark man in Guanzhong was very happy. Finally, he was able to have a warm winter.Because of this, he was really grateful to Professor Ding. He led them into the reception room and poured water for some old professors himself. Then he said with a smile: "thanks to this scientific research project this year, our center can be so busy. Oh, by the way, I heard that this project is led by Professor Ding's students? It's true that a famous teacher is a good apprentice. At a young age, he can undertake scientific research projects alone, which is much better than I used to be. "
"It's just to make some changes on the basis of the existing models. It's mainly theoretical demonstration. Young people are impatient, and we old comrades have to help them." Ding laixiang shook his head modestly, and then asked: "by the way, have you studied the relevant information here?"
Wu Changcheng nodded: "we have studied it." Then he frowned: "however, according to the parameters of yun-5, the test requirements of the improved yun-5 are not very high."
Then Wu Changcheng looked at the old professors in front of him and thought about it. At last, he asked, "is there really no problem?"
This remark, including Ding laixiang, made the three old professors look very unnatural. Wu Changcheng almost didn't give himself a mouthful when he saw it. He was used to being a soldier. He was too honest. People paid money to do tests to see whether their indicators were high or not. What if they deliberately did this for several papers.
So he laughed and was ready to digress, but before he spoke to ease the atmosphere, an officer ran in: "report, the plane is here."
"Let's arrange the lifting." Wu Changcheng gave an order. Instead of leaving, the officer looked at Wu Changcheng strangely: "director, you You You'd better go and see for yourself. "
"You It's really... " Wu Changcheng felt that he had no face. He had to take a trip in person to deal with the hoisting, that is, in front of outsiders. Otherwise, he would definitely throw out fragrance.
Fortunately, the old professors were all reasonable people. Wu Changcheng didn't care. He glared at the officer and walked towards the place where the static test bench was.
When Wu Changcheng approached the new plane which was obviously different from the yun-5 transport plane, his expression suddenly changed greatly. Then he fixed his eyes on the paint surface which could reflect human figures, touched it, and then looked at Professor Ding in surprise: "no rivets?"
