"Little Feng, you know that you have a lot of ghost ideas, and I came here today to ask you for help."

He turned his eyes on Feng Zhichen and said solemnly.Just now on this road, he was smiling, and occasionally he would joke with Xue Yue, and it seemed very relaxed.At this moment, his face no longer has the meaning of ridicule, and then put a little weight on it.

"This ..." Xue said, "or, you come to my office, it's quiet, no one will bother."

Meng Fanze waved his hand and said, “No, I think it’s good here.”Don't you all have stools, and they're all sitting down and talking?"

He pulled over a chair himself and sat down.Zhang Lubin turned to look at Feng Xiaochen, and the two of them used their eyes to give up to each other and sat down.Xue Yushu hesitated a little and said, "Well, then you talk here, I'll let you pour some water, and arrange lunch by the way."

Meng Fanze said, "Xiao Xue, you don't have to be busy, sit down and talk about it, I said I want to ask Xiao Feng for help, I know that Xiao Xue is also a person who can, and also come up with an idea."

As he said, Xue Yue was not inconvenient to leave.However, he first went out and called a staff member to help everyone pour tea, then closed the door, pulled a chair and sat down, waiting for Meng Fanze to open his mouth.

"That's a little thing over there."Meng Fanze pointed to Zhang Lubin and said: "He is an aviation port, and the business I am engaged in has little to do with me."But his old leader is an old comrade of mine, and no, he introduced me to me."

"I'm really sorry, Minister Meng is so old, we are still bothering him... However, this thing is really impossible, so..." Zhang Lubin, the expression on his face is a little ashamed, but also a little resentful.

Xue Yue some two monks can not touch the head, but Meng Fanze said at the beginning, he came to ask Feng Xiaochen for help, Xue Yue is just a "a piece of ideas" of the secondary person, so he is not easy to take the initiative to ask.He gave Feng Xiaochen a look to see how Feng Zhichen reacted to this, but saw Feng Xiaochen's face light, and he was not in a hurry to ask the bottom of the look.

Alas, this little Feng is also really a demon, nothing is urgent, did he already know the intention of Meng Fanze?Then he thought in his heart.

Feng Xiaochen still did not know what Meng Fanze was looking for him, from today Meng Fanze with Zhang Lubin to the reloading technician school, Feng Xiaochen felt that Meng Fanze must have something, not like he said, just to visit, to learn what.When Meng Fanze said to find Feng Xiaochen to help, and pointed out that Zhang Lubin is a person in the aviation system, Feng Xiaochen recalled the historical events, and there was already some speculation in his heart.However, before the other party does not directly say it, he will not ask, anyway, Meng Fanze will not be the kind of person who twists and pinpses.

“Shut up, let’s introduce your identity first.”Meng Fanze saw the thoughts of Xue Yue and Feng Xiaochen and said to Zhang Lubin.

“All right.”Zhang Lubin Dao, he turned to Xue Yue and Feng Xiaochen, introduced himself: "My name you all know, bow long Zhang, Lu Xun's Lu, polite."I am the deputy chief engineer of the Puhai Aircraft Factory and the deputy chief designer of the P15 aircraft and the chief designer of the engine project.”

"It was the chief worker, and he was disrespectful."Feng Xiaochen nodded slightly to Zhang Lubin and said respectfully.

The P15 was a big name.It is the first large aircraft made by China to take off more than 120 tons, and various media do not use the words "national authority" and "willful" when reporting.At the industrial level of China at that time, it was indeed an amazing miracle to be able to build such a large aircraft.

However, behind the surface scenery, is the P15 research and development team, or the entire Puhai aircraft manufacturing plant can not be said difficult.The P15 project was originally very hasty, it is a project determined purely for political reasons in the era of political overpowering, and there is no such preparation in the previous national science and technology development plan.

Engineers and technicians mobilized from all over the country spent 10 years building two P15 aircraft, one for static experiments on the ground and one for test flights.Also on the occasion of the successful P15 test flight, Puhai Aircraft Factory was notified by the National Planning Commission, announcing that the subsequent investment will be completely frozen, and Pufei has not yet continued to develop the third prototype, and even the wages of more than 1,000 workers and technicians in the factory have become a problem.

The emergence of this situation is closely related to the general direction adjustment of the whole country.In the era of the P15 project, the state investment is a political account, not an economic account, and the development of the P15 did not consider commercial use from the beginning, but only hoped to become a national business card and create one or two to prove that China has the strength in this regard.

After 1978, the state began to put forward the goal of economic construction, and all work began to consider economic benefits, not illusory political image.The economics of the P15 were raised as an important issue and became the key to the survival of the P15.After analyzing the P15's economic indicators, the national civil aviation department said that it was unwilling to accept such aircraft for use in civil aviation, while the military claimed that there was not enough money to equip large transport aircraft of this level for the time being, let alone luxuries such as tankers and early warning aircraft.

Without demand, the development of the P15 is meaningless.Coupled with the country's requirements for the adjustment of the national economy, vigorously compressing infrastructure projects, even the second phase of the construction of the Pujiang Iron and Steel Plant has been postponed, and the P15 is not a parent and mother-in-law's project.

Puhai aircraft factory of course can not watch the 10-year project so ended, not to mention P15 once off the horse, Pufei's existence will disappear, the factory will be closed, all employees will be shunted to other enterprises, which is undoubtedly difficult to accept for a company.

Pu Fei's leading cadres began to lobby to various ministries, and the research and development team of P15 also mobilized to try to recover the fate of the P15.Zhang Lubin, as deputy chief designer, is naturally also actively linking all aspects of the relationship, hoping to give the P15 a ray of life.He found the old leader of the past, and the old leader recommended him to Meng Fanze and asked Meng Fanze for help.

Although Meng Fanze has some influence in the industrial system, coal and aviation are still separated by a mountain, and he does not know how to help.In the face of difficulties, he thought of Feng Xiaochen, who was thinking of the wisdom of Feng Xiaochen, who came over to ask Feng Xiaochen in the name of visiting the technician school.

“Cuspere, what’s your idea?”

After listening to the matter, Feng Xiaochen calmly asked Zhang Lubin.In fact, in the memory of Feng Xiaochen's past life, the P15 thing has been known a lot, and it is also known that P15 has not escaped the fate of destruction in the end.Now, what he needs to understand is what Zhang Lubin thinks of as a party, and what the other party wants to do for himself.

“The P15 is ours, and we hope to be able to do it.”Zhang Lubin said heavily.

Feng Xiaochen said, “If you want to go down, what conditions do you need?”

“A appropriation of $50 million.”Zhang Lubin said without thinking.

During this period, the whole Pufei is running this matter, the goal is to seek an additional allocation of 50 million yuan, the money should be allocated by the National Planning Commission, after the Planning Commission said that it can not be additional funds, Pu Fei is seeking from other departments to obtain this money, such as the army, aviation department or other counterparts.

In Zhang Lubin's view, it is impossible to find reinstallation to ask for money, because the reloading office is only a coordinating agency, and it does not have the power to allocate funds, and large aircraft is not among the major projects coordinated by the reinstallation office, and it is impossible for dogs to take care of this idle matter with rats.

Of course, Meng Fanze had to bring him, he could not refuse, only hope to do hope, come to explore the truth.What he did not expect was that Meng Fanze did not take him to see Luo Xiangfei, the head of the re-installation office, but came to this school in a remote location in the suburbs of Beijing, and met such a young and unspeakable deputy director, which made Zhang Lubin even more incomprehensible.

Just now, I heard that Feng Xiaochen's idea made Xue Yue earn 80,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Zhang Lubin was a little moved.But when I think about it, I think that such ideas are too far away from Pu Fei, and the big aircraft project cannot be saved by a few such ideas.

Hearing Zhang Lubin's words, Feng Xiaochen smiled slightly and asked, "If there are 50 million, what step can you do?"

“We were able to build a third prototype and conduct a follow-up test flight.”Zhang Lubin Road.

“And then what?”Feng Xiaochen asked.

"Then..." Zhang Lubinba said: "After the test flight, our aircraft can be initially finalized, as long as the civil aviation department has orders, we can continue to produce."If possible, we can also export to the Asian, African and African countries...”

His words came to say, but the voice was getting weaker and weaker, and he obviously did not have enough confidence.As a veteran aircraft designer, he didn’t know that flying a plane was a long and expensive one.The additional allocation of 50 million is only enough for Pu Fei to build a prototype, and even the oil for the test flight cannot afford it, and it goes without saying that a variety of tests and maintenance is required during the test flight.

Pu Fei's idea is to keep the project first, and then build a prototype while seeking new investment, a step by step.The most optimistic situation is that the civil aviation department suddenly had a conscience attack and placed a few orders, so that Pu Fei would be completely alive.

Will civil aviation do that?

Lubin's heart is more than anyone else's bottom.
