Chapter 460 Military to Civilian, Civilian to Military

1981, the first day of the Chinese New Year.

The snowflakes that had never stopped falling began to gather together.

In Qianliang Hutong, Yanjing City, Huang Yongyu and Wang Shixiang, wearing thick cotton coats, walked to the front of the house No. 34 with two strings of firecrackers.

Although Comrade Xiao Jiang did not spend the New Year in Yanjing, his quadrangle was still remembered by some people.

"This is the first year that Xiao Jiang has got this house,"

Huang Yongyu said while unlocking the door, "We must make this house a lively New Year."

"Or we can be friends, and we think the same way,"

Wang Shixiang smiled and said, "Let's do this, put one string at the gate and another in the yard."

Huang Yongyu nodded: "All done!"

Soon, a string of red firecrackers exploded in front of the Guangliang gate of No. 34 Qianliang Hutong.

With a click, Huang Yongyu raised the Polaroid camera in his hand.

Chi——a yellow photo slowly emerged.

"Take a photo and send it to Xiao Jiang."

Wang Shixiang covered his ears and came over to take a look. The two of them pointed and chatted.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Yongyu,"

Suddenly, two young men jumped out from a distance: "You also came to Xiao Jiang to set off firecrackers?"

Wang Shixiang and Huang Yongyu turned around and saw that it was Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao.

"Hey, why are you two here?"

"We are the same as you,"

Chen Peisi raised the firecrackers in her hand: "Come to add some joy to Jiangshan's house."

"You came just in time,"

Huang Yongyu waved happily: "Come, let's get together and take a photo, so that Jiangshan can have a good look."

After that, the four smiling faces quickly leaned together.

Huang Yongyu, who was stretched far away by the hand, snapped it into the camera.

"Come on, let's pose a few more times,

Send a few more photos to that guy, I just want him to send me some photo paper!"

"Pose?"

When Chen Peisi heard this, she immediately started to act like a model: "Then you two can watch."

So, Huang Yongyu and Wang Shixiang followed Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao and started to pose in a realistic manner.

It is still unclear whether the photo paper has been sent, but at least Huang Yongyu's "surplus grain" has been used up for them.

...

While the people across the country were busy celebrating the Spring Festival, some comrades were still following their own schedules.

In February 1981, when Coca-Cola was about to open its second bottling plant in Guangzhou.

The business representative of Pepsi-Cola rode a bicycle across the Luohu Bridge and arrived in Shenzhen.

Prepared to discuss the joint venture with some leaders of the Special Administrative Region.

At the same time, Yin Si, a representative of Siemens.

After looking at this side from the Xiangjiang River with a telescope for several days, he also set off in the direction of Yanjing.

…

It was February in Pujiang City. Although there was no snow, the temperature was still freezing.

Comrade Jiang Shan, who stayed at the Oriental Metropolis Newspaper to work overtime, was thinking about the phone call he received early in the morning.

“Military paint?”

Jiang Shan muttered to himself.

Although Rao did not mention it, Jiang Shan understood.

The American unmanned reconnaissance aircraft flying upside down had already taken the initiative to enter the embrace of the Chinese land in 1971.

The skin on the D-21 was probably being handled by ground personnel day and night.

“Military paint?”

While Jiang Shan was talking, he reached out and wrote the word “military” on the note.

In his impression, let alone “military paint”, which was both expensive and brain-burning.

In later generations, anything with the word “military” would be out of control.

In 2009, when it was widely rumored that my country’s fourth-generation aircraft was about to take off and serve.

Director Zhang of the Strategic Research Institute urgently went to CCTV to "officially refute rumors":

[How can it be so easy? The United States has been developing the F-22 for more than 20 years, and China has no idea of ​​developing a fourth-generation aircraft until now...

It is not a fourth-generation aircraft, but an improvement on the J-10...

Where is the J-20? I don't know.

Where is the H-20? I don't know either.

Z-20? Y-20? I don't know where it is now that I'm retired...]

Faced with Director Zhang's series of "I don't know", "How is it possible", "How can it be so easy"...

Just when their own people were disappointed, the United States was really happy.

They quickly ordered the closure and dismantling of the F-22 production line, which they had long been unable to support.

As a result, two years later, the J-20 announced its first successful flight.

The Director Zhang's name appeared in the list of early J-20 demonstrators that was subsequently announced, making him famous overnight.

After that, no matter what he said, people at home and abroad said "I understand".

As for what he understood?

The director himself said, "I really don't know."

Unlike the "playing the pig to eat the tiger" here, the stories from the retired generals in Taiwan sound much more exciting.

According to the information they received, the mainland's industry was silent before the bottom line was found.

Once the bottom line was found, the hot products continued.

In the past, the aircraft carrier arresting cable was successfully developed in one second.

Later, civilian express delivery was changed to military delivery.

It has been difficult to breathe because of the neck of the West. After finding out the bottom line, it was found that it was because I wore my sweater backwards.

Take the aircraft carrier arresting cable as an example. We all know that without it, aircraft carrier-based aircraft cannot land on the aircraft carrier.

But at the beginning, the West refused to sell this thing.

They also threatened that this technology alone was enough to strand our aircraft carrier.

After much persuasion, the other side reluctantly opened a lion's mouth of 10 million US dollars.

The price without any room for negotiation forced the navy to open bidding.

As a result, Juli Group, a domestic steel wire rope company, was stunned when it saw the parameters:

Isn't this steel cable the model that the factory often exports?

Since the country needs it and there is a ready-made one in the warehouse, let's hand it over quickly!

It turned out that an American airline had secretly found this company to customize the airport buffer rope.

And this kind of steel cable is actually the arresting cable used on aircraft carriers.

The last price quoted was only 300,000 US dollars per cable.

This news was out.

So, the news that my country successfully developed the arresting cable in one second was put on TV by Taiwan.

SF Express's twin-tailed scorpion drone project was also launched halfway.

As early as 2012, SF Express launched a project to use drones to deliver express delivery across the country.

So, a national bidding began.

The drone was required to be able to fly long distances and carry at least one ton of cargo...

After seeing these requirements, Tengdun felt that it should be able to win if it gritted its teeth.

13 months later, the "twin-tailed scorpion drone wing" that met all the requirements of Party A was successfully developed and launched.

So, SF Express, which was very satisfied, happily announced on Weibo: SF Express's nationwide drone delivery plan is just around the corner.

As a result, the relevant personnel were stunned when they saw it.

[The wingspan is up to 20 meters, the fuselage is up to 10 meters, the maximum range is 35 hours, and it can fly up to 10,000 meters...]

What kind of civilian drone is this? The parameters are even higher than those in military service.

SF Express was called in for a friendly consultation.

"Since we are all delivering couriers, why not give us a few years to play with it first..."

So, SF Express's "drone nationwide delivery" project has not been heard of for the time being.

Many netizens later comforted SF Express: the project was originally developed only to defeat JD.com, but it was used to defeat Tokyo.

These "civilian-to-military" projects after the technology tree has grown crooked, although they sound exciting, they are not mysterious.

Another company that entered the palace directly without a draft, the Guangqi Group, is really awesome.

As mentioned earlier, the J-20, and this company is the "paint" manufacturer responsible for the military coating of the J-20.

The predecessor of the Guangqi Group, Longsheng Group, was originally just a company for auto parts and body painting.

Because the spray paint produced can help cars avoid radar speed guns, it was targeted by relevant units.

Later, this black technology was cited in the stealth technology of the J-20...

Faced with these legendary stories that make the speaker happy and the listener even happier.

In fact, it is just like the TV interview of the Strategic Research Institute - talk about three or seven, listen to two or eight.

It's okay to have fun, but you can't take it too seriously.

However, although some events have been modified, the factual basis still exists.

Guisheng Group, a military enterprise responsible for manufacturing aircraft carrier arresting cables, did not succeed in research and development in one second as the legend said.

But the research and development time of only 4 months did exceed that of all foreign companies of the same level.

It solved the problem of arresting cables that have been blocking my country's technology.

Guangqi Technology, a super bull stock that rose from 7 yuan to 120 yuan in just two months in 2015.

It is indeed the coating manufacturer that provides stealth technology for J-20, H-20, Wing Loong, aircraft carrier-based aircraft, Hongdu missiles...

This metamaterial production company that smoothly switches between civilian and military, military and civilian technology, has been included in the sanctions list of the United States.

But this is not a big deal for Guangqi Technology, which has a one-stop production of the metamaterial industry chain.

But before the emergence of Guangqi technology, my country's stealth coating was...

But even then, it was better than the military coating industry that has been suspended from R&D funding.

"Military to civilian? Civilian to military?"

Comrade Jiangshan, who was muttering to himself, seemed to have stayed in the office all day.

But he never did a single job.

All he thought about was his private work...

...

Towards dusk, a black sedan in Pujiang City slowly drove out of the Kailin Paint Factory.

Xu Muchun leaned on the back seat and pinched his nose.

After listening to a chemical meeting, he was about to get a headache.

"Director Xu,"

Section Chief Han, who was sitting on the passenger seat, looked at the time:

"Why don't we go back to the bureau and take you home to rest first."

"Have you collected all the information given to you by the two factories just now?"

Xu Muchun ignored his subordinates' suggestion: "Since they need it urgently, sort out the information first..."

Suddenly, Xu Muchun stopped talking, patted Section Chief Han and pointed at the car window:

"Look, is that Jiangshan on the bike?"

"Huh? It's really him,"

Before Xu Muchun could speak, Section Chief Han rolled down the window: "Jiangshan, here's Jiangshan."

With a squeak, Jiangshan's feet held up.

"Section Chief Han,"

Tilting his head to look inside, Xu Muchun was smiling at him:

"Xu Ju, why are you here? You're not taking a break on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

Xu Muchun did not answer this sentence. He only looked at the two small flower quilts in the back seat of the Jiangshan car and said curiously:

"What's that you're hauling? A bedroll?"

"Oh," Jiang Shan smiled:

"My second sister-in-law just gave birth to a baby. My mother was afraid that the baby would be frozen, so she asked me to bring two more quilts to send over."

"Is Jiang He a father?"

Director Xu knows everything about the three brothers of the Jiang family:

"Let's go, get in my car, I'll go there with you and take a look."

"You...you want to go there?"

"Why can't I go there..."

Judging from Xu Muchun's experience, as long as he stays with Jiang Shan, his mood will be the same.

It just so happened that I had a headache right now, so it would be a good idea to go to the hospital together and have a look: "Hurry up and get in the car."

"Okay," Jiang Shan pulled over and said, "You have the final say."

…

"Happy New Year, Xu Ju!"

On the first day of the new year, when we meet and wish each other a happy new year, we get in the car and say happy new year.

"How is it?" Xu Muchun looked at Jiang Shan's face full of joy: "What have you been busy with recently?"

I thought Jiangshan would talk about Xu Muchun from a rural primary school, but unexpectedly I heard him say.

"I'm currently studying military painting." After a day of preparation in the newspaper office, I looked quite excited.

"Military paint?" Xu Muchun thought it couldn't be such a coincidence: "Okay, why did you think of studying it?"

"A few years ago, I visited several military camps in Nanjing."

"And you became interested in it?"

"I received another call this morning,"

Jiang Shan didn't say anything to anyone: "We just talked about it while chatting."

"Yeah," Xu Muchun said, "Then what did you finally research?"

"Actually, in the early years, our country's fighter planes were not painted," Jiang Shan said:

"Not only us, but also the Soviet fighter planes look like silver."

"Silver Sparkle?"

"It's just unpainted metal aluminum skin."

"That's really shining."

"Speaking of which, the earliest fighter aircraft coatings that appeared in our country," Jiang Shan said, "were brought over by the Flying Tigers."

"Flying Tigers?" Xu Muchun thought for a moment: "The one Chennault is riding in?"

"Yes, that's the plane..."

Jiang Shan, who was holding two small flower quilts, was talking and gesticulating.

At this moment, he had no idea that Xu Muchun had also received the task of helping the paint factory to improve its economic efficiency.

"The painting used on aircraft was originally just to distinguish enemy and friendly military aircraft,"

Jiang Shan pointed to the pattern on the little flower quilt: "Don't hit me, you'll beat me down."

"Can such a thing happen?" Section Chief Han in the front row also turned his head at this moment.

"This kind of thing happened too often during the First World War,"

Jiang Shandao: "Even in World War II, it was a common occurrence."

"No wonder the Flying Tigers' planes are so colorfully painted." Section Chief Han thought about it.

"The Flying Tigers' planes are not just for distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy,"

Jiang Shan knows that there is still something to pay attention to:

"In their opinion, since little Japan is afraid of sharks, they might as well spray one on the fuselage to add some murderous aura to their fighter planes."

"That's it," Section Chief Han imagined for a moment:

"Don't tell me, if they ascend to the sky together, it will look like that."

"Xiaojiang,"

Xu Muchun looked at Jiangshan:

"I just got a warship promotion advertisement from the Sixth Aircraft Department.

Since you are so interested in these things, come and see them with me. "

Jiang Shan was obviously shocked when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, the arms advertisements that have always existed in legend actually exist.
