Riding the wind of rebirth

After the report meeting, Li Weigang and Zhang Weichao invited Zhou Yu to their office for a candid talk.

"This accident was truly a fluke." Li Weigang's words at the meeting and outside the meeting were two completely opposite sets of words. He believed that such an accident should not have happened in Baxing. The fundamental reason was that before it was sent for assembly, it was not strictly reviewed according to the standardized procedures. Even if it did not cause greater losses, it was still a fluke.

Of course, the contribution of the quality process management system cannot be denied. Without this system, the quality control of the rocket would not be able to reach the current level, and the result would definitely be that the rocket would disintegrate in mid-air without leaving any debris.

Only with this system can we perfectly manage processes other than satellites, enable the emergency mechanism to take effect in a timely manner, and have the qualification to get lucky.

Therefore, this accident, which did not cause serious consequences, sounded a wake-up call to the top management. More importantly, it gave them hope of solving the crux of the problem, which is to fully implement this management system in military industrial enterprises.

"After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the military enterprises in those countries had a much harder time running than ours." Zhou Zhi is now a "good comrade" who has been tested and made great contributions, so Zhang Weichao doesn't mind revealing some news to him: "Many enterprises and research institutes are seeking market transformation, which also provides many opportunities for our country's military enterprises."

Zhou Zhi, as a later generation, certainly knows this. The disintegration of the former Soviet Union also allowed China's military industry to receive a lot of "legacy". The so-called "Heshen fell and Jiaqing was full", ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, can't make such an analogy...

"Why do you have that expression?" Li Weigang asked when he saw Zhou Zhi's strange expression.

"No, no, I just thought of something else." Zhou Zhi said seriously, "So this time our country will pick up a lot of spoils, such as design drawings, process documents, and a lot of experts, right?"

"Yes, shock therapy. Russia's monetary assets depreciated 10,000 times overnight." Li Wei just shook his head when he mentioned this: "It's like you were a multi-millionaire the day before, but when you woke up, you only had 1,000 yuan left in your bank account. Who can bear this?"

In fact, the West was the biggest beneficiary of the whole process, but China also gained a lot of benefits.

"With these things, we will carry out later research and development, which requires an excellent management system to support it," said Li Weigang.

"Then what do I need to do?" Zhou Zhi asked. "The later stage of the transplantation work has been handed over to the comrades at the base. Clover is only responsible for the computing matrix, virtual machine, COSTS, smart terminal, and enterprise-level QPM transplantation. As for the final integration with the military management system, it is mainly done by them. After all, there is also a confidentiality system issue involved here."

"Yes," Li Weigang said, "There is indeed such a problem, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Xiao Zhou again for something."

"Mr. Li, please don't be polite to me." Zhou Zhi said seriously: "Being able to provide products that satisfy the military is also an endorsement and guarantee of the reliability and practicality of our products. It is very beneficial for us to open up the market. The effect is not achieved by advertising 10 million. This is a win-win cooperation model. If you have any requirements, just tell me."

"That's right. We would like to entrust your group to train a large number of people like the joint team for us."

"Zhang Bin, Luo Yujuan and others..." Zhou Zhi asked about the base members of the previous joint team.

"They have been transferred away." Zhang Weichao said with a wry smile: "The capital and Jiuquan need people to help establish this system."

Li Weigang said: "In addition to the capital and Jiuquan, comrades in other lines also need a large number of talents to establish their own process quality control systems to enhance the combat effectiveness of our military industrial units! This matter can only be entrusted to you, Clover."

"How about this?" Zhou Zhi thought for a moment and said, "We have a base at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, which is used for internal training and team building. The conditions are pretty good, the facilities and equipment are relatively complete, and the environment is quite hidden." "We can use it as a training center and temporarily hand it over to the military comrades. We will send the team participating in the joint research and development to train the people you sent there. What do you think?"

Li Weigang and Zhang Weichao were both delighted. Li Weigang couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a training base?"

"Well," Zhou Zhi was a little amused by Li Weigang's reaction: "Although the central government has repeatedly issued orders, we are a private enterprise and we do have such a need."

"That place is quite big. Of course, it can't compare to your military facilities, but it can at least accommodate two to three hundred people for training. The facilities... there are swimming pools, gyms, movie theaters, computer classrooms, standard running tracks and stadiums. It's about the size of a second-tier city normal school."

"That's pretty good." Li Weigang stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Zhi's hand. "I won't say any more words of thanks. We will report this to our superiors right away. If they agree, we will do so."

Coming out of the base, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but think of one thing. Two years ago, the country bought 27 Su- aircraft from the then Soviet Union for million US dollars and million US dollars of light industrial products.

This batch of aircraft was quite advanced. At the time, they had only been in service in the Soviet Union for ten years, and many troops were not even able to equip them. They played a very important role in enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Air Force.

Last year, China and Russia held a new round of negotiations. This time, in addition to aircraft, the two countries also discussed technology transfer.

This year, the two sides finally successfully signed an agreement, and China was allowed to produce 200 Su-27 fighter jets.

In the early stages of production, Russia provided parts and components for domestic assembly, and then the proportion of Chinese-made parts gradually increased, eventually forming the ability to independently produce fourth-generation fighter jets.

What happened next was more interesting. The agreement was not finalized because China quickly acquired the ability to replicate the Su-27. The replicated aircraft was called the J-11, and it was soon upgraded to the J-11B.

Compared with the original Su-27 fighter, the J-11B is more advanced in avionics systems and radar, and its combat capability has made a leap forward.

At this time, China no longer looked down on the Su-27 or even the J-11B. After completing the technology absorption, Shenfei quickly developed its own fourth-generation and a half aircraft based on the J-11BS - the famous J-16.

For this reason, the country seemed to have produced only a little over a hundred Su-27s in the previous life, which was equivalent to abandoning the contract only halfway through fulfilling it. It seemed that the two countries even had a war of words over this.

Later, they changed to importing Su-35s, but they were retired in less than three years.

The Air Force thus officially embarked on the road of rapid production and upgrading of domestic equipment, evolving from national defense to both offense and defense, embarking on a journey against the odds.

Looking at the blue sky, Zhou Zhi's mind was full of thoughts.

If there were comrades from the Air Force in this training, it might be a bit interesting. Maybe the Su-27 production would have to stop before it even reaches 100. (End of this chapter)
