Chapter 757: Expanding production capacity for the J-11

Ding Gaoheng came here today not specifically to merge Torch Group into Aviation Power.

It's just that Chang Haonan accidentally mentioned that he wanted to run in school, Torch Group and Aviation Power, so he brought it up.

"Director Ding, actually before you came just now, I originally planned to go to the Science and Technology Committee to find you."

After some pleasantries, Chang Haonan took the initiative to switch to the topic.

"Oh?"

Ding Gaoheng suddenly became interested:

"Do you have anything else to report to me?"

"It's really not a report this time."

Chang Haonan stood up as he spoke, picked up the documents from his desk and handed them to Ding Gaoheng:

"It's the friendship plan and the Varyag thing."

"The news sent by Wu Yifan in the morning said that he persuaded Valery Vasilyevich Babich, the chief designer of the Varyag and Ulyanovsk factories. , and through him, he mobilized a large number of employees of the former Black Sea Shipyard who had lost their jobs.”

Ding Gaoheng, who had been looking down page after page, suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with excitement:

"This is a great thing. Now is a critical stage for the domestic shipbuilding industry to increase its production capacity. If these old experts and technicians can come to China, it will be very helpful to improve our process technology."

"Last year, the Navy and Lianhai Shipyard sent a group of military representatives and technical experts to the St. Petersburg Northern Shipyard to inspect. They found that those old Soviet-era ships, even if they had been soaked in water for nearly ten years, were inferior in craftsmanship and quality. The ships that have been built in the past two years are much better, but the only difference lies in these master craftsmen!”

Chang Haonan had heard of what Ding Gaoheng said in his previous life.

Mainly reflected in the four modern-class destroyers bought back.

The quality of the continued construction of the 136 and 137 ships is much better than that of the later newly built ships 138 and 139.

Of course, except for high-level experts like Babbage, it is impossible for most people to directly participate in core naval projects such as aircraft carriers.

But in the construction of other main battleships, including civilian ships, there is also room for them to use their remaining energy.

Although China is already the world's third largest shipbuilding country in terms of shipbuilding tonnage, at the turn of the century, "big but not strong" is definitely not a casual statement.

Most of the high value-added orders are still in the hands of Europe, Japan and South Korea.

"Lao Wu also mentioned this in the report."

Chang Haonan replied:

“So I’m also considering that if there are indeed enough people in this batch who meet the requirements, based on the 1000 places in the first phase of the Friendship Plan, we can expand the number as appropriate to capture this batch of precious technical personnel. "

"However, because there were so many people this time, they still have some concerns about the conditions we gave."

"You mean...there are still some dissatisfactions?"

Ding Gaoheng put the documents on the coffee table:

"Objectively speaking, even compared with the Soviet Union in the late 80s, our country's current material and cultural level is indeed lacking to a certain extent, but..."

As a result, just halfway through his words, Chang Haonan quickly waved his hand:

"No, no... rather than saying that the conditions are not good enough, I think the conditions are a bit too good."

"After all, Lao Wu's company is just a small company engaged in import and export trade. People will inevitably feel that it is not reliable enough. You also know that in the past few years after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, these old workers have been miserably cheated by private companies. What is wrong with them? Resistance is also normal.”

After hearing this explanation, Ding Gaoheng immediately became happy:

"This is easy to handle. Although it is not convenient for our officials to come forward directly, we can ask comrades in the shipbuilding industry system to print some bilingual brochures in Chinese and Russian, and attach the communities we have prepared and factory photos."

"Our country is lacking everything now, except for old factories like those in the Soviet Union. They are everywhere..."

Although Ding Gaoheng has not personally been to the CIS countries, it is not difficult to guess the mentality of employees there.

After nearly ten years of hard life, when I first saw this familiar atmosphere and environment, it was impossible to say that I didn't have any ideas in mind.

If you give me some encouragement at this time, many things will fall into place.

At this time, there were not as many scams as there were later, or in other words, although they existed, they were not well known.

So when it comes to vigilance, it's really just that.

With a decent brochure and photos, it is very persuasive.

"That works."

Chang Haonan also nodded:

"Then I'll ask Lao Wu to stabilize the other party first, don't act too hastily, and wait until we send the promotional materials over before we take any action."

After this problem is solved, there is nothing more to say about the second thing.

Xu Pingzeng and Wu Yifan had both agreed. They said it was an application, but in fact it was just a notification.

Moreover, from Chang Haonan's perspective, the former's concerns are very reasonable.

In the original timeline, when the Varyag was being towed back to China, it encountered several situations where foreign personnel tried to illegally board the ship, and even succeeded.

It's just that the Varyag bought back in the previous life really only had a hull, and there was really nothing on it that could be further damaged, so it didn't suffer any actual damage, it was just a bit embarrassing.

But now Xu Ping has saved a lot of key equipment and data, which are currently on the ship. If they are captured or destroyed, it will be a big loss.

As for disassembly, handover and transportation, it will take about 1-2 months...

For a long-term industry like shipbuilding, which is often counted in years, it is obviously not critical.

……

Originally, according to Chang Haonan's idea, since the Varyag's return to China would be slightly delayed, there shouldn't be much going on before the National Day.

However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

At the end of August, as the new semester of colleges and universities began, Chang Haonan's work focus gradually shifted from business management back to the laboratory.

Yao Mengna also completed the first phase of ramping up production capacity at Factory 112, increasing J-11 production by about one-third.

According to the previous agreement, Chang Haonan needed to prepare a new topic for her.

However, this time, Yao Mengna came back with her own questions.

"Professor Chang, I found a problem."

Yao Mengna, who had just taken off her hat and put on a lab coat, sat on the chair opposite Chang Haonan's desk.

"what is the problem?"

Chang Haonan raised his head.

"I discovered that I had fallen into a misunderstanding."

Yao Mengna frowned slightly, obviously troubled by something:

"I always thought that the efficiency of the No. 11 pulsating production line failed to meet the expected targets because I failed to control the working hours distribution coefficient of each link."

"But later I discovered that the problem actually lies in the entire assembly process, especially the quality inspection process after each link. The amount of data is too large, and the key data output by different inspection links are different. As a result, this step cannot be solved by an automated system. Although it was entered into the computer, in the end it was still checked manually..."

Chang Haonan was not in a hurry, but listened to Yao Mengna's slightly confusing explanation while sorting out what the other party wanted to express in his mind.

To put it simply, although a large number of sensors are added to the production line, the data returned by the sensors is too complex and cannot be easily analyzed directly.

In particular, issues such as deformation, flatness, dimensional fit, leakage and re-riveting during the riveting process generate high-dimensional data.

For example, missing rivets will leave a hole in the position of the rivet hole. For humans, it is easy to take a look, but for automated equipment, it is difficult to identify.

In the end, it was just a matter of workers going to the work station to inspect, instead of taking photos, and then workers checking the photos.

On the contrary, it was a waste of time.

"So, I think... only by using computers to replace people to complete this process can the theoretical potential of the pulsating production line be fully realized!"

Yao Mengna took a sip of water and finally concluded.
