Zhu Bin's voice was really loud, and it came out suddenly when several people were in deep emotions and couldn't extricate themselves. It shocked several people! When they looked up and took a closer look at his appearance, they immediately stood up.

The man in the lead, who looked like a successful man, looked up and down at the tall Zhu Bin, and said in a rather unkind tone: "Deputy Director Zhu invited us here, could it be that he wants us to listen to these big and unwarranted words?

"

Zhu Bin's appearance is unknown to almost everyone in Shanghai, and he can be recognized at a glance, but the smile just now seemed to be mocking these depressed talents, so everyone looked unhappy.

"Do you think I'm bragging?" Zhu Bin completely ignored the displeasure in the other person's tone and casually put a large box he was carrying in the middle of the table where they were sitting. He grinned and said, "I think,

The seniors also underestimated their own abilities and became discouraged when encountering difficulties. This is not what the Chinese aviation pioneers I heard about should look like!"

These words were even more irritating, and several people immediately quit their jobs. In terms of age, the youngest of them was 32 years old, and the eldest were 40. In terms of origin, all foreign students were top-notch students.

Foreigners all admired Chongyong, but when this guy said this, they were very embarrassed.

"Huh! I shouldn't have come today! I'm not saying anything, so I'll say goodbye!" The leader waved his sleeves with a dark face and turned to leave.

Zhu Bin's face changed and he said sternly: "Mr. Wang Yupeng, are you willing to bear the discrimination of Americans all your life, watch them use the Boeing company you built to make money from the Chinese, and continue to be arrogant?!"

The man immediately stopped as if he was nailed to the spot, turned around slowly, his eyes were red, staring at Zhu Bin, his fists were clenched, and his body was trembling slightly.

Zhu Bin did not answer immediately, but turned to look at the others and said: "Mr. Zhu Junfu, Mr. Qian Changzuo, Mr. Zeng Yi, Mr. Wang Xiaofeng, you are all talented people who have returned from famous universities in the United States. You should know that the Air Force is very important to our country's national defense."

Is it so important that it continues to decline just because of the inaction and wanton behavior of some people in the government?”

Zhu Junfu said displeasedly: "What are you talking about? The Naval Aircraft Manufacturing Office moved to the south of the Yangtze River. Although we are short of workers, materials and funds, we have never slacked off. Zhu Hanchen, you must speak according to your conscience."

Qian Changzuo next to him said angrily: "Stop talking sarcastically! If the government is willing to provide sufficient funds to build manufacturing plants, even if we are not as good as American aircraft manufacturers, we will never be much weaker than them."

Zhu Bin clapped his hands: "Isn't that the end? The problem you are facing is nothing more than the higher-ups not paying attention and interfering indiscriminately, and not giving money. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If I solve the financial problem and the technical problem, with your talents,

, is it difficult to catch up with Western countries?”

"This..." A few people pondered for a while, and Wang Xiaofeng slapped the table, "What about the Westerners? We are not weaker than them in terms of aircraft design alone. As long as the manufacturing technology can keep up, we can definitely compete with them!"

"Okay! I like hearing this, otherwise all my hard work will be in vain." Zhu Bin nodded seriously and turned to look at Wang Yupeng, "Chief Engineer Wang, what do you think?"

The other party stared at Zhu Bin and shouted with a stern face: "What do you mean by what you just said?! Tell me clearly, otherwise I will never break up with you."

Zhu Bin said calmly: "I went to the United States this time to discuss cooperation with Boeing and let them set up an aircraft factory in China. William Boeing didn't even meet. The people sent said they were worried about the leakage of advanced aviation technology! And I provided

Several improvement plans, they said they had already been considered, and they were of no value! I am a very stingy person, and I will retaliate! So the first purpose of asking you all is to help me defeat Boeing in terms of technology and products! Wang

Sir, the Boeing Aircraft Company was built by one hand. Without you, they would not be what they are today, but how did they treat you? We Chinese people pay attention to repaying grievances with directness and repaying kindness with kindness. It should be yours, and you are not going to take it back.

What?"

After the words fell, the whole place fell into silence. Everyone looked at Wang Yupeng, waiting for his reaction.

After staring at Zhu Bin for a full minute, he suddenly turned around and walked back, saying word by word: "Tell me your plan. If it is really feasible, I, the Wang Assistant, will do my best to help you achieve it, and I will never break my promise!"

Zhu Bin slapped the box on the table and said with a grin: "No problem, come on, let's sit down and talk slowly."

It's better to be aggressive than to speak slowly and softly. It's too wordy, but this method works! Zhu Bin thought beautifully in his heart.

Wang Zhu, courtesy name Yupeng, was born in Nangong, Henan Province. He first came into contact with aircraft manufacturing at the Armstrong Naval University in the UK. In June 1916, as the second batch of aeronautical engineering graduates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Wang Zhu, Bayuzao and Wang Xiaofeng won the

Master's degree in aeronautical engineering. This is the first time a Chinese has obtained a master's degree in aeronautical engineering, and the total number of graduates in aeronautical engineering in that period was no more than ten.

In 1917, Wang Zhu joined the Boeing Company, a small workshop just starting out, and carefully designed a B&W-C seaplane with double pontoons and double wings, which successfully passed the U.S. test. The U.S. Navy Department believed that the performance of this aircraft was

It is stable and has the dual functions of patrol boat and training aircraft. 50 of them were ordered at one time. This order brought Boeing 570,000 US dollars in revenue and was the first pot of gold that Boeing needed most in its development history. If not

With this order, Boeing Company may have disappeared long ago. With Wang Zhu's outstanding talents, the newly established Boeing Company began to gain a firm foothold.

But then, a painful incident that will be remembered for his whole life happened! Although the design and manufacture of the b&w-c seaplane were all by his own hands, during the flight test, the United States did not allow Wang Zhu to enter the test site, fearing that he would

Secretly learn "America's highest aviation technology".

Wang Zhu never expected that the United States, which always claimed to be a people's country and free, could do such a thing, but William Boeing didn't even give a shit. In comparison, the orders and banknotes from the United States were obviously more important.

In desperation, he, Bayuzao and Wang Xiaofeng returned to China angrily and began the fifteen-year long journey of building a strong Chinese Air Force.

It is a pity that China has been a warlord in these years. When the world is in chaos, they have nothing to do. However, the political situation above is changing like a revolving door. The military chiefs are only greedy for temporary benefits. No one is willing to invest huge sums of money to develop air force manufacturing.

, over the past ten years, they have designed more than a dozen types of seaplanes, training aircraft, coastal patrol aircraft, and torpedo bombers, but none of them have been mass-produced.

Last year, the national government ordered the relocation of the naval aircraft manufacturing office in Mawei to Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard. A large number of Fujian workers were unwilling to follow suit and the necessary factory facilities were not built. Wang Zhu resigned in anger and joined Air China as president.

The remaining workers had no choice but to continue working in the raw material warehouse of Jiangnan Shipyard for the time being. Seeing the poor performance of the Air Force and Navy during the Shanghai War, a few people were all angry, but they had no choice but to do anything. No wonder there were complaints.

The so-called common enemy, Zhu Bin's experience made Wang Zhu feel a little relieved, but he was still unhappy with his attitude towards him. He stared at him to see what tricks he could pull off.

Zhu Bin opened the box, first took out a smooth-looking low-wing propeller fighter model and placed it in front of a few people. He said casually: "Boeing is investing a lot of energy in perfecting their new generation single-wing XP936 fighter jet and preparing to sell it to the military.

My plan is to launch a targeted model before them, surpassing them in terms of technology and combat effectiveness, and making all their efforts abort!"

"A very beautiful aircraft!" Several people were experts, and they could tell at a glance that this model was extraordinary!

It is no longer the original ugly and obtrusive big head. The streamlined fuselage is smoother and slender, with all-metal stress skin, wide and extended lower wings, fully enclosed glass cockpit, and retractable landing gear. It looks beautiful at first glance!

Looking at the parameters briefly listed next to it, it adopts the Zhu Bin version of the R-1830 air-cooled engine just launched by Pratt & Whitney. It is designed with a double-row 14-cylinder star structure and a single-stage single-speed supercharger, making the power reach 950hp.

The complete wingspan is 11.2 meters, the length is 8.9 meters, the height is 2.5 meters, the empty weight is 1800 kg, the maximum take-off weight is 2550 kg, the maximum flight speed can reach 480 kilometers, the range is 1500 kilometers, and it is equipped with an ejection seat and on-board communication intercom device.

, can be described as unique.

In terms of weapons, it uses two Browning 12.7mm air-cooled heavy machine guns, each carrying 250 rounds of ammunition, and can carry two 250-pound bombs.

"There is no problem that an aircraft with such performance can overwhelm all current industries." Wang Zhu said with impeccable eyesight. After reading it once, he knew that there was not much difference in the data. "However, China does not have the corresponding manufacturing conditions. No matter how good your design is,

It’s also useless.”

For more than ten years, a group of them have designed more than a dozen engines under the euphemistic name, but almost every material and accessory used on them is imported, and they are embarrassed to say that they manufacture them themselves.

Zhu Bin smiled and said: "As long as you think there is no problem. Regarding the engine, I have obtained the production authorization from Pratt & Whitney. The electronic facility manufacturing equipment required for manufacturing aircraft has been negotiated with GE on cooperation. The electrolytic aluminum and alloy manufacturing plant will be in the near future.

It will be set up in Shanghai. Let’s put it this way, I will set up a factory in China for all the materials and accessories needed to manufacture the entire aircraft. I have ordered a lot of materials from the United States and Germany, and have temporarily set up an engine processing unit behind the public concession residence.

How about taking a look at the workshop if you have time?"

Wang Zhu felt his heart pounding when he heard it, but he was worried that the greater his hope, the greater his disappointment. He exchanged glances with the others, nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a look first and then talk!"
Chapter completed!
