Chapter 299

~6 min read 1,162 words

Capital, Shunyi, Qingyun Aviation Instrument Factory.

In the morning sunlight, the buildings in the factory were also covered with a layer of rosy dawn light, red as fire.

Inside the meeting room.

"Hmph, what reform, bullshit, we have already contacted all domestic aviation instrument factories; everyone has reached a consensus: if you want aviation instruments, you must come to us to talk; if you want new models, first transfer the R&D funds, otherwise…… we won't serve you!"

Section Chief of the Technology Section, Wu Wenhua, full of disdain: "Other industries, we can't control, but this instrument industry is ours to decide!"

That's right, over the years we have supplied many domestic aircraft with supporting equipment, never had any problems; our production quality is absolutely the most advanced! Now they actually don't trust us, those few quality systems are just nonsense! Our factory's products, quality naturally relies on our own reputation! Deputy Factory Director Zhao Heping also chimed in.

"Exactly, the stationed military representative system shouldn't exist; our factory's product quality should of course be controlled by ourselves; hum, letting others point fingers at us is unacceptable, we won't tolerate this habit; this time we will withstand pressure, even if Section Leader Duan issues a document, we will maintain this attitude!"

"Not good, not good!"

At that moment, a voice came from outside.

"Old Wang, what's the matter? Sit down and speak, don't rush, could the sky still fall?"

The Section Chief of the Sales Section, Old Wang, out of breath: "The sky is really going to fall!"

"What do you mean?"

"You…… have you heard of a glass cockpit?"

"What do you mean?"

"The current cockpit full of instruments will be gone! Inside the cockpit, there will be two or three televisions displaying various information……"

"Nonsense, this is absolutely nonsense!" Wu Wenhua said: "Since the birth of aircraft, instruments have been used; putting televisions? That would greatly affect the pilot's observation, and if it broke……"

Zhao Heping, however, furrowed his brow: "If I remember correctly…… quickly, call the archives and tell them to look for Western aviation magazines……"

Half an hour later.

The meeting room was silent.

F-15, when it was first born, all were instruments; a few years later it was improved, a multi-function display appeared; the latest improved version already has two displays.

F-16, starting with early Block 5, the left side was a large display; when improved to Block 25, left and right each had a multi-function display, leaving only a few basic flight instruments between the legs!

In this article, it finally said that the cockpit of third-generation aircraft will eventually eliminate all instruments, realizing a glass cockpit, with a large head-up display on top and three multi-function displays below, arranged in an inverted triangular pattern.

That is to say……

Aviation instruments are already yesterday's flower! What will become of this factory?

"This is just the Western cockpit display revolution; our Eastern technology is backward…… we probably won't need this yet, and even if we had it, equipping troops, pilots wouldn't be used to it!" Wu Wenhua spoke.

"If it were 601, they definitely wouldn't do this, but 611 has always been reforming; they surely can pull this off! Especially, Ha Gong Da is also involved!" Zhao Heping furrowed his brow; this 611 has always hoped to manufacture the world's most advanced third-generation aircraft!

So……

"Should we go find Section Chief Zhang to learn the situation?"

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Wanhe's office.

Looking at the few somewhat urgent people before him, Zhang Wanhe secretly smiled; San Shui's method is indeed formidable—this news was released only about an hour ago, and the Qingyun Instrument Factory is already anxious!

"Section Chief Zhang, we…… we want to learn about the new project of the 611 Institute……"

"You should go directly to the 611 Institute for that; what use am I?"

"This new project is related to Comrade Qin Miao, isn't it? He…… he is your son-in-law."

"Well…… as for work matters, I really don't know, but…… he did say, asking me to help contact the Capital Picture Tube Factory, saying they need a batch of professional picture tubes that meet aircraft usage requirements; I also wonder, on an aircraft, do they still need to watch TV?"

Swish!

The faces of several people turned pale.

"Section Chief Zhang, could you delay…… no, let us handle the liaison with the Capital Picture Tube Factory? We know this is for developing an advanced third-generation aircraft cockpit; our Qingyun Aviation Instrument Factory is willing to be the first to eat the crab!"

If this is developed, old aviation instruments will have no future! They need to consider the future!

Order custom picture tubes from the Capital Picture Tube Factory, then they study other supporting systems, and take them to cooperate with the 611 Institute…… although they must accept many harsh conditions, but if they succeed, they will surely become the leader of domestic fighter cockpit display systems!

"Alright, then I won't interfere."

"By the way, Comrade Qin Miao? We want…… to talk with him."

"This morning's flight has already returned to Ha Cheng."

Ha Cheng, a world of ice and snow.

After getting off the plane, Qin Miao immediately saw the girl waiting there, wearing a red wool coat that complemented her fine figure, a red knitted hat, a scarf, though her face was still frozen red.

"Miaomiao, why did you come here?" Qin Miao reached out to touch her cheek; indeed, it was somewhat cold.

In this place, wearing anything won't keep you warm; only a military overcoat does!

"It's fine, today there's no class; hearing you were back, I came to pick you up……"

Chu Miaomiao's face was full of excitement.

"Exams week is coming up soon, right?"

"Yeah."

"How's the review going?"

"Of course no problem! As long as you don't take the exam, I'll definitely still be first in the class!"

"All right, let's go, hurry back, this place is really cold."

In the Range Rover, the heater was blasting hot; along the way we viewed Ha Cheng's scenery; when entering Ha Gong Da, we saw that several new buildings had been added, and moreover…… there really were passageways between different buildings!

"Now, from dormitory to classroom, then to cafeteria, there are heated corridors, so everyone usually wears little." Chu Miaomiao said: "Brother San Shui, let's go eat first……"

"Okay, I'll follow you; this period, my time is all yours; after you finish exams, we'll go home together for the New Year……"

While speaking, the car stopped, a person stood outside, opened the car door: "San Shui, you've finally returned; come on, let's go to the meeting room for a meeting! Professor Liu and the others are waiting!"

Qin Miao speechless: "Brother-in-law, even if you and Sister Honghong are busy with work, you still often meet; I and Miaomiao haven't seen each other for a long time—can't you give us some private time?"
