Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 284 Panda Propeller Private Jet Patent (5000+ words)

I know a bit about Li Song because I read a lot of novels in my past life.

VCD primarily uses MPEG compression technology.

VCD was born in China, but because the technology was not owned by China and the founder of VCD at the time did not have a patent awareness, he did not think of acquiring this compression technology.

Later, the technology was acquired by the Japanese company, which then formed its own VCD alliance, which included multiple manufacturers such as Sony, Philips, Panasonic, and JVC.

Then the alliance enthusiastically launched the DVD.

However, it was later replaced by LCD displays, because the picture quality of DVDs became very rough on LCD screens.

Then they launched EVD, but it encountered problems with broadband and 3G networks!

In the end, VCDs excluded domestic manufacturers from the core technology level!
This is mainly because our manufacturers do not have a clear understanding of patents and market positioning.

If the first VCD manufacturer registers the patent first and then obtains the compression technology, it will have a longer-term future.

Of course, it's too late to say anything after that.

After meeting with these people, Li Song left the semiconductor research institute.

First, let these people discuss and collude with each other. It's impossible for them to start a dozen or so projects at once, otherwise there won't be enough people left.

Since he was already there, Li Song took another stroll around Anjie Security Company.

The security company was newly established, and Li Song's bodyguards were all from the mainland.

The security personnel trained here are mainly for Li Song's businesses!
Moreover, these bodyguards from the mainland will need to undergo further training.

Then Li Song returned to the Federal Garden!

Li Song is still waiting for a small propeller plane designed by a second-hand platform.

This uses a single-cylinder piston internal combustion engine as its power source.

It uses an air-cooled, six-cylinder, horizontally opposed engine with a power output of 180 horsepower.

Four people on board!

Flight speed greater than 260 kilometers per hour.

The range can reach 1,100 kilometers!
It uses fixed wings and fixed landing gear!
In other words, the landing gear cannot be retracted.

It's not that Li Song didn't want to build a better airplane!
Instead, they build better aircraft, which costs more!

For example, small private jets powered by turboprop engines are more powerful, can carry more passengers, and are larger, but they are also more expensive.

There are also piston engines that use six or eight cylinders.

Li Song first took out these designs and then brought them to the mainland.

Li Song was at home reading newspapers when he had nothing to do. He particularly enjoyed reading newspapers that spoke ill of him.

Oriental Daily News: A company that has never manufactured a single airplane dares to crowdfund an airplane. This is blatant deception and a blatant publicity stunt.

We in Hong Kong should boycott people who make such boastful claims.

How will Westerners view us Hong Kong people in the future? This person was never from Hong Kong; he was just a puppet pushed out by the mainland!
Sing Tao Daily: Phoenix TV has invested a lot of money in the mainland, while many TV professionals in Hong Kong are starving and out of work. Hong Kong should introduce laws and regulations to suspend the licenses of such disloyal TV stations.

TVB suffered huge losses this year, despite producing over a hundred dramas and creating numerous jobs. Yet, this conscientious television station has no viewers!

They insist on watching Phoenix TV dramas filmed in other locations, and the Television Association has done nothing to help. According to reports, TVB artists are currently working at a very low rate.

Several biased newspapers kept saying bad things about Li Song in their articles!
The newspapers were selling less and less, with fewer and fewer advertisements, and they were getting thinner and thinner.

This year has been even worse for TVB. RTV's "Candle in the Tomb" is already experiencing delays in filming, which means they're just padding out the plot!

What made ATV even more speechless was that while it was being crushed by Phoenix TV, it still had to pay Li Song money.

Li Song had heard Liu Jiale mention that RTV (Rediffusion Television) seemed to be preparing to film a new TV series, apparently in collaboration with Taiwanese television stations!

RTV is preparing to shift its focus to Taiwan, and it seems that Taiwan is also preparing to film the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Anyway, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of the Four Great Classical Novels, so it doesn't need authorization anymore.

Because of the immense popularity of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," but the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" cannot be broadcast in Taiwan!
It is said that TVB also wanted to get involved, but they were too late.

It seems that TVB is preparing to adapt another of Gu Long's novels, also aiming to seize the market in Taiwan.

When Li Song was reading these newspapers on Hong Kong Island!
The technical data for the transport planes and helicopters sent to the mainland have safely arrived at the Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

The people transporting the goods had no idea what kind of technical data was inside.

Even Chief Engineer Ma didn't know what kind of technical data was inside.

Chief Engineer Ma looked at the three-ton document, which contained hundreds of thousands of sheets of paper!

After Chief Engineer Ma signed for the documents, he led a group of people to open them.

These document boxes are all numbered!
First, we opened box number one. Inside the box was a file folder!

The document bag was labeled "General Outline of Technical Data for Type A Transport Aircraft".

Chief Engineer Ma opened the technical document outline and found that it was essentially a catalog.

"Type A transport aircraft fuselage design drawing 02!" Chief Engineer Ma knew that the fuselage drawings were in box number 02!
"Design drawing of the A-type transport aircraft wing 03!"

Then Chief Engineer Ma took a closer look and found that the technical drawings included two types of engines: a turboprop engine and two turbofan engines.

There is also a design blueprint for a general-purpose helicopter, including the turboshaft engine, overall design drawings, and manufacturing process.

However, this turbofan engine is a low-bypass turbofan engine used by the military.

There are also design drawings for two large transport aircraft.

After seeing the parameters of the two large transport aircraft, Chief Engineer Ma...

Report this matter immediately.

When the higher-level departments received Chief Engineer Ma's report and saw the relevant data, they were also taken aback.

The Type A transport aircraft has a total takeoff weight of over 200 tons, a payload of over 70 tons, and a combat radius of over 4,000 kilometers.

The B-type transport aircraft has a takeoff weight of over 400 tons, a maximum payload of 150 tons, a maximum range of over 16,000 kilometers, and a combat radius of 8,000 kilometers.

There are also turboprop engines.
And general-purpose helicopters!
The higher-ups felt like they were dreaming, and then they felt a bit scared.

Because when these documents were transported from Hong Kong Island, no one knew what was inside.

What international standards do these two transport aircraft meet?
The An-124 began production in 1979 and made its maiden flight in 1982, so the world is currently unaware of the existence of such an aircraft.

The A-type aircraft is somewhat similar to Aramco's C141, which is the predecessor of the C17!
C17 only put forward its requirements in February 1980.

Because the transfer of strategic materials by Aramco is currently quite complicated, when carrying out global airlift missions, the C-5 is initially responsible for long-range strategic airlift between continents, then the C-141 transports them to the rear bases of the battlefield, and finally the C-130 transports them to the front lines.

This transfer system is cumbersome and time-consuming.

As everyone knows, Aramco has been constantly at work since World War II, with tens of thousands of planes carrying out such cargo transfers every year.

For a long time, Aramco's logistics forces could not stand this model, so in February 1980, they formally proposed a new generation of transport aircraft.

The need to replace the C-141 was only formally proposed in October of this year. The new transport aircraft must have short takeoff and landing capabilities, just like the C-130.

The aircraft's landing gear and high-lift system enable it to take off from a 2,438-meter-long runway and land on a 915-meter-long runway when fully loaded.

The full-load range must be at least 4443 kilometers; the internal structure of the fuselage must be able to accommodate large items, such as main battle tanks.

The aircraft must be able to move freely in and out of the congested apron and be able to reverse on a 2% slope when fully loaded and with two-fifths of its fuel!

That's why we have aircraft like the C-17!
Although Li Song limited the technology in 1980.

However, its performance is significantly better than the C17, at least in terms of overall performance.

After all, our perspective a hundred years from now is much broader than that of a hundred years ago.

And to be honest, although the C-17 first flew in 1991, its design process had already begun, and the technology used in its current design is from before that time.

In other words, since it was the first aircraft to fly in 1991, it's impossible for it to have used technology from 1991!
There is a cycle from technology to development and then to mature application.

Therefore, the design drawings and parameters of the two transport aircraft that Li Song has presented are unique in the world.

Therefore, in the eyes of the higher authorities, these two aircraft parameters are world-leading!

Because the higher authorities also consulted relevant experts.

However, the higher authorities did not use these technologies, but waited until Li Song returned to Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant before inquiring about them.

The higher authorities weren't in a hurry, because the technical data had already arrived, and the meat from the mainland was already in their bowls.

There's no need to be so unseemly in your actions. Of course, the higher-ups are very excited, wondering what the situation will be like once such a large transport aircraft is manufactured.

It is important to know that our country is vast, both on land and at sea.

The international situation certainly played a role in 1962.

There were also problems with the supply of logistical materials at the time.

With these two types of transport aircraft, it can be said that there is no longer any distinction between the front lines and the non-front lines.

Both aircraft were flying at speeds exceeding 900 kilometers per hour!
The distance between the southernmost and northernmost points of my country is only 5,500 kilometers.

It only took six hours to get there.

Moreover, these two transport planes play a significant role; one of them lands at the airport to transport ultra-large equipment.

The other one can land directly at a field airfield, with a landing distance of over 900 meters!
This is the direct route to the front lines!

If there were twenty of these planes.

Don't dare to think, don't dare to think!
The next morning, Li Song saw the news in the newspaper again on Hong Kong Island.

Ta Kung Pao: World-renowned writer and billionaire Mr. Li Song has applied for a new patent for a general-purpose helicopter.

Li Song knew he couldn't hide it from Zhang Dehua at all, because patent applications are supposed to be made public!
Besides, these newspapers must have informants in the patent department, and the patent department doesn't have any confidentiality requirements for these things.

Furthermore, the patent department on Hong Kong Island has already established a deep partnership with Andy Cheung's company.

They also knew that these applications belonged to billionaire Li Song.

Anyway, just follow the registration process and then make a public announcement.

Of course, after registering in Hong Kong Island, you still need to go to the World Intellectual Property Organization for registration and public announcement!
People on Hong Kong Island are used to this kind of news. After all, Li Song has already announced that his aircraft manufacturing company produces small jet airliners and is now producing helicopters. It's not something that can be done overnight.

At noon, Li Song drove out for a spin.

When we got back to Federal Garden, there was another pile of documents in the trunk of the car.

This is the information about the private jet that was crowdfunded.

The engine and propeller are located at the front, and it has a high-wing structure, similar to the Cenat 172.

Anyway, the aircraft shown on the second-hand platform is the world's best-selling single-propeller monoplane.

These materials are divided into two parts: one part is complete, and the other part is the patent application information.

Li Song wants to turn this crowdfunded small airplane into a major news sensation.

Because the engine of this small plane is an aluminum alloy engine.

As long as the design drawings and technical data are handed over to the BMW car plant which is under construction, the aluminum alloy casting press there is being tested and put into production!

It's perfect to take this engine to this factory for production!

As for the other parts of this small plane, to be honest, they weren't that difficult to make.

Of course, if you modify the engine to a turboprop engine and enlarge the fuselage and wings to seat about ten people, the price will increase many times over!
Li Song felt that this small plane, if produced in mainland China, would cost less than ten thousand US dollars.

Li Song wasn't planning to make money off this little plane; he was just there to cause trouble!
Start with the lowest end of the market and build a reputation first.

Then we'll target the higher-end market!

So we'll definitely give our clients a surprise.

On Friday, January 2, 1981, Li Song handed over the patent information for the small propeller plane named Panda to Zhang Dehua!
Then Li Song went to the mainland because he knew that once the small plane was patented, it would definitely attract the attention of CBS television station!

I'll come back for an interview after things have calmed down a bit.

Upon returning to Guangzhou, Li Song discovered that the route along the highway was already undergoing demolition.

The highway passes right by the other side of the car factory.

Li Songxian came to the car factory and handed over the technical data of the horizontally opposed engine, requesting that they start production!

Li Song will then take all the parts to Hong Kong Island for assembly.

Then he returned to the motorcycle factory.

"Mr. Li, this is the proposed expressway from the Hong Kong Island border crossing to Guangzhou."

“The higher-ups actually started planning this a long time ago.” Ma Shengli took out a document.

Li Song knew that the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway was built in 87 and opened to traffic in 97, with a total investment of 122 billion yuan.

Of course, we don't need that much money now!
Li Song looked at it and said, "It'll cost 18 billion now!"
Prices increased more than tenfold between the 80s and 90s, and now an eight-lane road is being built.

Furthermore, it utilizes many new technologies, such as tunnel boring machine technology!
This highway is a good test subject.

In terms of construction machinery, all of them are domestically produced.

It is expected to be completed in 86.

Li Song knew that this investment would increase over time.

But it doesn't matter, I collect so many patent fees myself.

And there are so many joint ventures distributing dividends!

Li Song plans to convert all this money into highways, ports, airports, and so on!

Others invest in these heavy assets with loans, but I don't need any at all!
Although the return cycle of heavy assets is very long, the profitability is very stable!

It's not safe to keep money in your own pocket because money depreciates.

Of course, this total investment is just that—total investment. Once the project starts, it won't be enough!

Li Song signed it immediately after reading it!

Ma Shengli was somewhat surprised to see Li Song agree so readily, given the size of the investment.

"Mr. Li, you mentioned last time that you wanted to establish a home appliance research institute. I wonder if this plan is still being implemented?" Ma Shengli asked again.
"Of course! Most of the fees from licensing home appliance technology should be used for research!"

"It's just that I don't have any relevant professionals here."

"Are the various factories supporting some researchers?" Li Song knew that many factories now had their own laboratories.

"I need to report this to my superiors!" Ma Shengli didn't dare to agree immediately.

"Ok!"

"Mr. Li, the technology patent licensing fees from last year will likely be summarized by the end of February!" Ma Shengli added.
"We'll invest all that money directly in the highway project, and I'll establish an engineering investment fund!"

"In addition, I will also invest a portion of the money in schools, mainly in impoverished areas!"

"For investments in domestic ports, airports, hydropower stations, and other facilities, you can contact me!"

"Once the financial audit in Hong Kong is finished, I will transfer all the money here!" Li Song doesn't need to keep too much money in Hong Kong.

Because the industries there are constantly making profits!
Ma Shengli and Liu Qing wrote down what Li Song said.

These things need to be reported to higher authorities.

"In addition, the recruitment trip to various universities is scheduled for January 20th!" Ma Shengli added.
"Okay!" Li Song knew that winter vacation was coming up soon.

Then Ma Shengli went to report on the relevant work.

After Ma Shengli left, Li Song listened to the motorcycle factory's report that the 150cc road bike had entered mass production and was selling very well, both domestically and internationally.

We are currently working on developing technologies for 250-horsepower road bikes and off-road vehicles!
Because this series all involve a core technology, once you master the first few series, the subsequent upgrades will be much faster!

Of course, this place also bears the important responsibility of personnel training.

The next morning, Li Song took a stroll around the electronics lab and told everyone that he would be going to the school to recruit on the 20th. Of course, the recruitment route was planned by the higher-ups.

Because I need to go to various universities, I need to communicate with the schools.

After lunch, Li Song flew directly to Chang'an!
"Boss!!" Chief Engineer Ma was extremely excited when he saw Li Song!
Although these aircraft were not developed in-house, they contain so much advanced technical data!
Moreover, I know just how advanced these two large transport aircraft are!
"Chief Engineer Ma, why are you so agitated? Can you make it in a short time? These technical documents are just for you to take a look at first."

"What is your main objective right now?" Li Song asked.

"Boss, this is so advanced!"

"The aircraft we designed is world-leading!" Chief Engineer Ma exclaimed excitedly.

"If only we had such a large transport plane!" Chief Engineer Ma stammered incoherently!

"Chief Engineer Ma, that turboprop engine is used in both carrier-based early warning aircraft and carrier-based transport aircraft," Li Song said with a smile.

"Ah!" Chief Engineer Ma was stunned!
