Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 89 Aircraft Manufacturing

At around 6 o'clock on Sunday morning, Wang Jiankun got up, washed, heated up a few steamed buns at the base, ate them with pickles he had bought from Yangzhou, and then started to make the equipment his uncle needed.

First of all, there are 60 sets of mobile communication base stations and 500 text machines. Wang Jiankun made some improvements to this batch of products. The biggest update is the addition of Burmese. It can transmit and display both Chinese and Burmese. Secondly, the length of text transmitted in a single time has been increased to 120 words, which allows most conversations to be sent in one go.

These are the two demands my uncle had reported after he used the first batch of mobile communication base stations and text machines. This time, these two demands were met. I originally wanted to add English, but considering that the users on my uncle's side are almost all Chinese and Burmese, and very few of them understand and use English, I didn't add it.

The next step was to manufacture 12 sets of small air defense radars. Wang Jiankun also made improvements to these radars, referring to and applying a large number of design ideas and materials for air defense radars on US aircraft carriers and Perry-class destroyers, increasing the search range of this radar from 40 kilometers to 60 kilometers.

The system also presets the parameters of many currently available aircraft. When an enemy aircraft comes over and is scanned by radar waves, the system can determine what type of aircraft it is. Of course, these parameters are all data obtained during the trip to Okinawa.

In this way, even if there is no large early warning radar, the air defense warning array formed by this batch of small radars can provide sufficient defense for key areas.

Wang Jiankun did not disguise this batch of products as special products. Instead, he split them into parts and packaged them, and declared them for export under the name of ordinary electronic components and general steel brackets.

During this period, the country only imported some advanced electronic components and equipment from abroad, and did not export any advanced electronic components. Therefore, there was no problem in exporting ordinary electronic components, and the customs could not distinguish the advanced nature of these things.

After the manufacturing was completed, Wang Jiankun transported the items to the scrap recycling station by car. Several disciples had already arrived. When they saw Wang Jiankun carrying so many boxes of different sizes, they put down their work and came over to help move them to the wooden pallet on the side.

"Jiankun, why did you transport so many boxes here? What are they used for?" Fang Guihua asked.

"Oh, these are going to be shipped to Raozhou later. They are handicrafts for export. Didn't you see that they are all labeled in English? Don't ask what's inside."

"Okay, we won't ask anymore. You have so many secrets!"

After saying this, they stopped asking more questions and moved the boxes silently.

After three trips back and forth, all these things were finally transported here. Not long after they were moved, my father and Wang Liping each drove a car to the scrap recycling station.

Wang Jiankun explained to his father that when he delivered the things to Cheng Xing in Raozhou, he should not forget anything and that the boxes should be placed in the direction marked and not in a mess. Then he took a few disciples and his father and the four of them loaded the things onto the truck.

After his father and his companions drove away the goods, Wang Jiankun began to explain learning and research issues to his disciples.

In terms of study, among the current disciples, Cheng Ming and Hu Chunming are a little behind in progress and encounter more problems. The others are ahead of the times and have very few problems. Therefore, Wang Jiankun has been giving them more tutoring during this period. He hopes that they can get good grades next year and go to college in BJ together.

After giving them individual guidance, Wang Jiankun went to check the project progress of the three groups.

First, we watched the box-pushing game programming by Lang Junjian and the game console prototype manufacturing led by Fang Guihua.

When I arrived at the computer room, Lang Junjian was typing code seriously. I looked at his debugging process and project progress bar from behind him and found that he had already written to the 20th level.

Because the general game operations are the same for each level, the difference is that there are more graphics in the later levels, and the game maps that need to be made are larger. However, because there are uniformly written function libraries and parameter libraries, the writing becomes simpler as time goes on. Wang Jiankun also found that Lang Junjian had added some basic images to the database, and most of them can be called directly when making maps, without having to start from scratch for each map. Seeing this, Wang Jiankun felt that he had indeed carefully studied the materials provided to him, and was able to master the key to writing large software so quickly is modularization.

After Lang Junjian finished writing, Wang talked to him and learned that the game framework of a total of 3 levels given by Wang Jiankun is expected to be completed by mid-March.

So Wang Jiankun proposed the next project to Lang Junjian, which was to write a professional writing software, mainly used for writing papers and patent documents.

Wang Jiankun decided to let Lang Junjian write the software framework this time, and he could come to him for help when he encountered difficulties. As for the symbols needed and the chart design samples, they would be provided by Wang Jiankun. This would save Lang Junjian a lot of time. After all, he didn't know as much and as comprehensive about formulas and charts as Wang Jiankun did. It would be a waste of time if he were to look for information himself.

If Lang Junjian can write the project framework of this program independently or mostly by himself, then he can already be considered a master and can almost reach the level of a project manager abroad.

Wang Jiankun also gave him an incentive, saying that in addition to the project rewards set previously, if the software is sold externally in the future, he will be given a corresponding proportion of the sales share, which is approximately 1% of the annual sales revenue within three years.

Lang Junjian currently has no idea about this and doesn't know how much the software sales are. So he wasn't too excited when he heard what Wang Jiankun said about the sales share. If he knew the truth, he would probably faint with joy.

Then I went to Fang Guihua's group and discussed with them the use of 3D printers and areas that need improvement.

At present, this 3D printer is sufficient for printing plastic shells, but the strength of the samples produced by the printer does not meet the standards and the surface is relatively rough. This requires Wang Jiankun to spend some time studying the plastic molding process and testing different materials.

Finally, it was Yu Min's LED preparation. At present, Yu Min's knowledge reserves were insufficient, and the reaction mechanism of diode luminescence had not been thoroughly studied. It was too difficult for him to be directly given samples by Wang Jiankun and then asked to reverse the preparation process.

So Wang Jiankun asked him to give Wang Jiankun his requirements based on his imagination, and then spend more time learning about semiconductor preparation, semiconductor luminescence mechanism and other knowledge.

Currently, the whole world is stuck at the issue of blue light. It is not that it has not been produced, but that those produced in the laboratory either do not meet the lifespan standards, are difficult to produce, or have limited prospects. Their upper brightness limit is too low and cannot be used in normal light source environments.

So for now, let him explore slowly. Not only blue light, but red and green light also have huge room for improvement. Every process and preparation method that improves brightness, lifespan, reduces cost, etc. during this period can be used to apply for patents or publish papers.

Now, the papers published before the New Year have been accepted by semiconductor and physics journals, and are expected to be published in two months. Six of the patents applied for have been accepted by European and American patent offices and have entered the patent protection period. As long as they pass the review, other companies that want to use them will have to contact the Star Institute established in Hong Kong to discuss patent authorization.

After understanding and guiding the progress of the project, Wang Jiankun did not have lunch with them, but returned to the underground base and transported some metal elements and gasoline to the temporary dock.

When they arrived at the temporary dock, Wang Jiankun loaded all the things he brought onto the speedboat, and then slowly drove the speedboat towards Sizhou Town.

He planned to find a suitable place in this section of the river to build a seaplane take-off and landing point and parking spot.

While driving, Wang Jiankun observed the terrain on both sides of the river to see if there were any people living there or if there were wide roads. He wanted to choose an uninhabited area where very few people would pass by, so that he would not have to worry about being discovered when conducting a seaplane test flight.

As for what happens after the plane reaches high altitude, Wang Jiankun is not worried. His superpowers can make the plane almost enter an optical stealth state, and the outer skin can be quickly adjusted according to the environment, usually with a mixture of sky blue and white clouds.

There are no military bases or military facilities here, so there is no need to worry about his aircraft being scanned by radar.

After driving to Sizhou Town, Wang Jiankun turned back and chose a 5-kilometer straight river section 3 kilometers downstream of Taibai Town as the take-off and landing point and stop for the plane. There are steep cliffs on both sides of the river. Wang Jiankun also climbed to the top of the mountain with his superpowers to check the area around 10 kilometers away. He found that it was all continuous hills, no one lived nearby, and no roads passed through.

After selecting a location, Wang Jiankun first used his superpowers to lead a long stone embankment from the mountain wall, and built some stone piers on it for mooring airplanes and speedboats.

Then the speedboat was moored and people came to the long dike.

He then mobilized his super powers to begin building the first manned aircraft.

This aircraft was designed with the help of Zhizi. Wang Jiankun's requirements for it were that it should be easy to operate, and only require it to be able to perform the most basic water takeoff and landing, and then hover in the air, with an altitude of up to 1000 meters and a speed of about 500 kilometers per hour.

Wang Jiankun had previously built a flight simulator in the underground base that was exactly the same as the one on an aircraft carrier, and had conducted more than ten hours of simulated flight on it.

Now if you want to fly a real plane in a real environment, your muscle reactions will definitely not keep up with your brain at the beginning, so the performance indicators of the aircraft do not need to be set so high right from the start.

Once his body becomes familiar with and adapted to flying and his muscle coordination improves, he can gradually modify the seaplane. After all, it won't take him much time to make it using his superpowers.

There are two floats under the seaplane, which were first made by Wang Jiankun. Then came the main frame of the aircraft, the main material of which is super-hard aluminum alloy, and some of the load-bearing structures are alloy steel.

After the main body was manufactured, Wang Jiankun checked the dimensions and compared them carefully with the design drawings in his mind to prevent errors, after all, this was something that was going to fly into the sky.

After the comparison was completed, it was found that there was no obvious error, so we started to manufacture the engine, fuel tank, hydraulic control system, cables inside the fuselage, and then the cockpit, display instruments, etc.

At this point the plane has grown from a skeleton into a flesh-and-blood appearance. Although it is the simplest single-seat, single-engine piston engine small aircraft, the various pipes still appear to be numerous and complex.

The latest control system is fly-by-wire flight control. The pipelines will be greatly simplified after applying this control system. However, Wang Jiankun has no plans to apply it at present, because the control program is relatively complicated and requires the collection of a large amount of wind tunnel data and actual flight data. It also requires the test pilot to conduct thousands of test flights to determine the flight control program. That will be considered for use in the future when there is room for free development.

After the skeleton and flesh are filled, the production of the skin, canopy and front propeller blades begins.

The skin is made of the lightest cork, which is light in weight and quick to manufacture. It was the preferred skin for piston aircraft in the past.

The propeller blades at the front are also made of wood. The shape of the blades is blown in a small wind tunnel in the underground base, so they can make good use of the power of the air.

After all the structures were manufactured, Wang Jiankun looked at the sky. The weather was clear today, and there were a few white clouds in the sky, so Wang Jiankun painted the plane sky blue, so that it would be difficult to notice that there was a plane flying in the sky from a distance.

After all these were done, Wang Jiankun refueled the plane first. Generally speaking, aviation kerosene is the best fuel for airplanes. However, this aircraft currently only uses an air-cooled 9-cylinder piston engine with a take-off power of about 200 kilowatts and a rated power of 165 kilowatts. The gasoline adjusted by Wang Jiankun is completely sufficient. He will manufacture aviation kerosene after manufacturing jet aircraft after a while.

After the fuel is added, the lubricating oil is added. These lubricating oils are based on the Greyhound transport aircraft on the US aircraft carrier, and are more than enough for this aircraft.

After all these were done, Wang Jiankun made flight suits, flight caps and flight boots. The styles were also based on those of American pilots, but the color was changed to camouflage green.

After getting dressed, Wang Jiankun took a deep breath, stepped on the float and climbed into the CJ-1 cockpit. He pulled down the canopy, adjusted the seat inside, and then turned on each switch and adjusted each button according to the steps in the simulator training. The first step was to start the engine and let it run at idle speed to preheat, while also supplying power to the battery and other electrical components. The next step was to check whether the steering mechanism could operate normally.

Generally speaking, there should be someone outside the plane to help observe the pre-takeoff inspection work to see whether the wings and tail can move normally. However, Wang Jiankun has super powers and can observe it himself.

After completing the pre-takeoff check, Wang Jiankun stepped on the throttle, then released the switch of the fastener connecting the buoy to the long levee, and the plane slowly drove out of the berth.

Wang Jiankun first let the plane glide at a low speed to the take-off point, turned the nose of the plane, adjusted his breathing, then quickly increased the throttle, the propeller speed increased rapidly, and the plane speed quickly climbed from 0 kilometers per hour. When it reached 160 kilometers per hour, Wang Jiankun gently pulled the joystick towards his arms a little, and the nose of the plane immediately tilted up, and the plane left the water. At the moment of separation, Wang Jiankun felt that the plane instantly became lighter, and he himself felt as if he had broken free from the constraints of the earth and became a light bird that could fly freely.

But now Wang Jiankun didn't dare to fly recklessly. He held the joystick tightly with both hands and gently pulled it towards his arms, allowing the plane to climb slowly.

When it was about to reach the bend where the river was straight, the plane had already passed the mountain walls on both sides. Looking around from the plane, one could see endless green mountains. Occasionally, a bird was startled by the sound of the plane and flew away from the mountain tops and treetops in panic, flying quickly into the distance.

When the aircraft reached an altitude of 300 meters, Wang Jiankun gently pressed the joystick to the right, and the aircraft began to tilt to the right. After completing a 180-degree turn, he straightened the joystick to return the aircraft to a horizontal position.

Wang Jiankun seemed to be born to fly. After he reached a height of several hundred meters, he did not feel the fear, dizziness, nausea, etc. as described in the information. He just felt a sense of relaxation and freedom.

However, he valued his life very much, so he did not dare to do anything extraordinary before he was thoroughly familiar with flying. He flew strictly according to the established flight route so that his body could quickly adapt to the feeling of flying in the sky and his hands, feet and eyes could coordinate as quickly as possible.

After circling over the selected uninhabited area for about ten times, when the fuel gauge needle reached the last mark, Wang Jiankun started the landing operation.

According to several documents, landing is a more dangerous process than taking off, so Wang Jiankun did not dare to be careless. He followed the previously formulated landing procedure and slowly lowered the aircraft's altitude to about 100 meters, then circled and arrived at the landing point.

Slowly press the joystick in your arms forward while keeping the throttle unchanged to ensure that the aircraft speed does not decrease too quickly and cause a stall.

As the joystick was pressed forward, the nose of the plane faced the river surface and the plane quickly dived towards the narrow river surface. At this time, Wang Jiankun finally understood why those materials said that landing was a very dangerous process.

Because the plane is landing towards the ground and the speed is very fast, it feels like it is crashing into a wall. People with poor physical and mental qualities will definitely be flustered and operate the plane in a panic, which often results in the destruction of the plane and the death of people during landing.

Fortunately, Wang Jiankun quickly overcame the discomfort, stared at the altimeter and speedometer on the instrument panel and observed the surrounding environment with his peripheral vision. He leveled the plane when it was more than 10 meters above the water surface, then slightly pulled up the nose of the plane, reduced the speed of the plane, and slowly approached the river surface.

The moment the plane touched the water, it shook and its speed dropped rapidly. Wang Jiankun knew that the plane had already touched the water, so he quickly straightened the joystick to let the plane return to a horizontal state and glide forward.

After the plane's speed dropped to 20 kilometers per hour, it turned the nose of the plane and headed for the berth.

At this time, the sun had already set behind the mountain, and the river surface was already quite dark, making it unsuitable for a novice like him to continue flying. He had to wait until he had enough flight hours before training to fly in such a complex environment.

After parking and securing the plane, they made a camouflage net to cover the plane, and then drove the speedboat in the direction of Wuyuan County.
