Chapter 1071 Dual-use Turbofan 20
Thanks to the establishment of the Equipment Industry Department of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense a few years ago, which actually took over part of the functions of the former Ministry of Machinery Industry, as well as more importantly, personnel and files, this round of reorganization, although structurally speaking, can be called It has been completely transformed, but when it comes to business, there will be no particularly obvious gaps.
Of course, after all, it is an organization ranked among the top six that is making adjustments. Even if it is just taking off the old brand and putting up a new one, it cannot be done in three days or two.
Especially as Ding Gaoheng himself was promoted half a grade to take up a casual position in preparation for retirement, what followed was another major change of leaders in various departments.
This is even more impactful than the institutional adjustment itself.
Therefore, Chang Haonan did not leave the Science and Technology Commission immediately after bidding farewell to Ding Gaoheng.
Instead, he stopped by to visit Li Zhongyi.
Of course, there is also Lan Xinzhi.
It should be said that it is not an accident that the former became Ding Gaoheng's successor.
Since the Industrial and Construction Commission regards civilian industry as its future functional focus, Li Zhongyi, who has worked in the non-military industry system for a long time in the past and was responsible for military-civilian integration business at the Science and Technology Commission, has great advantages.
Of course, considering that the appointment of director has not yet been officially announced, Chang Haonan cannot be too naked and open champagne to others at half time.
Just briefly discuss the direction of future efforts and indirectly express support for the other party's work.
However, things are different over Lan Xinzhi.
He is retained during the organizational adjustment process.
There are four equipment industry departments, but currently only the leadership team of the second department has been determined by superiors.
Hence, it's time to start discussing business issues.
“Director Lan, long time no see.”
At Lan Xinzhi, Chang Haonan's behavior was much more natural.
After all, the other party was able to complete the leap from secretary to department head thanks to the establishment of a department like the Equipment Industry Department.
“Mr. Chang...that's not right, we should call him Consultant Chang”
Lan Xinzhi was facing a headache due to the documents on the table. When he saw Chang Haonan walking in, he simply put his pen aside and sat on the sofa next to him.
When the latter was at the door just now, he had already noticed the spectacular scene on the desk:
“I still have to congratulate Director Lan. It seems that the business in hand is much richer than before..."
There is absolutely no yin and yang in this sentence.
Although Lan Xinzhi seems to have not made any progress on the surface, some of his functions have even been divided.
But the real situation is exactly the opposite.
As a new department that started from picking up others and was established in the cracks, the original Equipment Industry Department was not very high in ranking within the Committee of Science and Industry, nor in the actual resources available at hand.
If Chang Haonan hadn't quickly set up the Torch-C.B. Ferrari Machine Tool Factory and built two representative victories in building a heavy-duty die forging press, and concentrated his efforts on entering China's bearing and gear industry into the European market, it could even be said that It is an existence with a small level of transparency.
Even after establishing a stable foothold, if the Equipment Industry Department wants to have an impact on industry, especially manufacturing, it can only do so by providing tilted means at the project and R&D levels.
As for directly issuing industrial policies, let the visible big hands take action...
Sorry, that's too unmarketable.
no.
The current Second Equipment Industry Department has been clearly given the authority to “propose new industrialization development strategies and policies.”
Furthermore, after the reorganization, Lan Xinzhi, as the first clearly appointed head of the department, directly became the "big brother" from the "little brother" in the same hierarchy.
So, even though they are all directors, their qualities are completely different.
“Don't mention it now.”
After hearing the congratulations to himself, Lan Xinzhi smiled bitterly:
“In the past four years or so, our department has been dealing with some specific piecemeal affairs. Now that we have begun to coordinate matters at the policy level, we are still a little uncomfortable..."
“After all, it is such a big change, and it is normal to need adjustments.”
Chang Haonan only thought that the other party was being humble, so he comforted him half-jokingly:
“Whenever you clear up this big table of documents, your work will be straightened out...”
As a result, Lan Xinzhi was stunned by this casual remark, and then his expression changed from a slightly self-deprecating wry smile to a serious one.
Obviously, compared with the so-called incompatibility, the next thing to talk about is the problem that really gives him a headache.
“Actually, these documents have little to do with the Second Equipment Industry Department…”
Lan Xinzhi stood up, returned to the desk, organized the spread documents into a pile, and handed them to Chang Haonan.
The latter now has the title of consultant, which is justified by looking at these documents.
Chang Haonan took it in his hand and turned it over briefly.
Discovery is a series of approval forms.
The format and seal are still the same as those of the Equipment Industry Department of the past, and are obviously not new ones.
But Lan Xinzhi is carefully selecting from the projects at hand.
“You should have heard from Director Ding that in addition to the Second Equipment Industry Department, I also have a National Key Project Construction Office, which is responsible for coordinating the construction of major equipment and projects.”
“But Consultant Chang, you also know that really major projects are not decided by units at our level, so it is really not easy to control the scope of business under our jurisdiction..."
He stopped abruptly at this point.
But of course Chang Haonan can still understand the meaning.
At this time in 2003, China happened to be at a relatively delicate point in time where "it already had a little money, but it was not very rich". The external manifestation is that you want to let go and do something big, but you are not too willing to let go.
Huge projects such as the West-East Gas Pipeline, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and manned spaceflight are all under the direct control of the Industrial Construction Commission and even higher levels.
If implemented into specific businesses, the functions of the four equipment industry departments can be completely summarized.
The office headed by Lan Xinzhi is sandwiched in the middle, but close to the original position of the Equipment Industry Department.
Place it in the future Industrial Construction Committee system, it seems to be a bit useless.
But your superiors have handed over a separate new department to you. If you don't make some moves, or even directly eliminate the sense of existence, it will not be good after all.
From Lan Xinzhi's point of view, it is indeed worth the headache.
Chang Haonan randomly picked out a few copies of the information in his hand and read the contents in detail.
Then, he frowned slightly.
Then I read a few more copies.
As a result, my brows furrowed even deeper...
“Director Lan.”
He showed a somewhat unbearable expression:
“Why…are they all hosted by university research groups?”
It is not that Chang Haonan has any prejudice or dissatisfaction with universities.
In fact, even in the few tables he pulled out at random, he has already seen the permanent magnet synchronous traction system of high-speed trains, injection excavation and molding technology, underwater compacted sand pile technology, heavy-duty sliding hydraulic system, etc. Many forward-looking research contents.
But the problem is that it is too forward-looking.
Even on the current timeline, it will be difficult for these things to be implemented within ten or eight years.
It's not that it cannot be supported, but it is difficult for it to be the head project of the Key Project Construction Office.
Just like the underwater packed sand pile.
It is one of the core technologies used in reclamation and island building.
You want to ask if it's okay, of course that's great.
However, even if it takes two years to produce theoretical results, three years to verify, and another three years to complete the project.
According to this devilish efficiency, it would take eight years to build the first island...
“So I'm also worried right now...”
Lan Xinzhi leaned on his chair helplessly:
“Now that the big projects that have been clearly approved have been allocated, I can only use a long-term perspective and bet on the future...”
Hearing what the other party said, Chang Haonan suddenly had an idea:
“In order to be included in the support scope of your office...are there any hard conditions?”
Although he does not lack resources at the moment, there is no harm in having one more department to support him.
What Lan Xinzhi said was originally just a chat between friends, and he did not think of asking Chang Haonan to help.
But since the words came to this point, he responded accordingly:
“First of all, it cannot be military-related projects on the surface. Those will be managed by the National Defense Industry Bureau in the future..."
“Secondly, it must be independent and cannot rely on foreign countries for the overall project. Of course, it doesn't matter when it comes to parts and components...”
“Then it must have a relatively far-reaching impact on the national economy...but it cannot have too big an impact, otherwise the higher-level departments should take over...”
After drawing down a bunch of boxes, Chang Haonan finally understood why the other party didn't look for him in the first place.
The first and third items alone rule out most of the projects he has at hand.
However, it is not impossible.
“What do you think of... Turbofan 20?”
After Chang Haonan thought for a moment, he suddenly suggested:
“The overall plan is almost ready now. If nothing else happens, the project approval process will begin in the middle of the year. It should not be too late to submit an application now.”
Lan Xinzhi's eyes lit up when he heard Chang Haonan took the initiative to rescue him.
But then he hesitated for a moment:
“But that's a military model, right?”
"I have the impression that Haofei's twin-engine Y-9 has been under development for some time... In addition, the second equipment target previously estimated seems to be a strategic transport aircraft similar to the size of the IL-76?"
Chang Haonan shook his head and organized his words a little:
“Actually, judging from the experience of developed countries, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, it is difficult to simply define turbofan engines with large bypass ratios, and even large and medium-sized mainline airliners themselves, as civilian or military.”
“For example, the A330, according to our definition, is of course a purely civilian passenger aircraft, but with a little improvement, it can become an A330MRTT aerial tanker. You can't say it is still a civilian aircraft.”
“In turn, the F117 engine used by the C17 transport aircraft is essentially a PW2000, but this cannot be said to be a military model. After all, the same model is also used in the Boeing 757..."
"Speaking of the Turbofan 20, although its initial user is indeed the Y-9, the thrust of the 12-14 tons is scheduled to be fully usable on future mainline airliners such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. In addition, if you I really feel that the name Turbofan 20 has too strong a military flavor. Then we can learn from the Americans and have two sets of naming methods for military and civilian use. The one on military transport aircraft is called Turbofan 20, and the one on passenger aircraft is...any other name. "
Chang Haonan originally wanted to directly copy the name of Yangtze River 1000, but felt that there was no need to decide on it so early.
However, Lan Xinzhi became interested instead:
“Referring to the naming method of foreign aviation engines, the abbreviation of your aviation power group is AECC, so why not call the civilian model...AE1500?”
