Chapter 262 Civil Aviation Manufacturing, 600 million tons of steel annual output
The independent manufacturing of Mustang fighter jets also shows that the ancient country has solved the entire production chain problem of piston fighter jets.
We have built a complete industrial chain directly from scratch.
From piston engines, electronic equipment, forging presses, optical instruments to various parts and components, there are more than 200 upstream, midstream and downstream factories involved.
From this we can see how difficult it is to build an aviation industry chain from scratch.
This is the case with piston fighters, let alone jet fighters.
This is also why the Ancient Aviation Industry Corporation chose to open up this industrial chain with the Mustang, a piston fighter, instead of starting directly with jet fighters.
You have to eat one bite at a time, and if you start directly with a jet fighter, the difficulty will increase several times.
Therefore, the strategy for the development of aviation in ancient China is to first open up an industrial chain with Mustang, and then to establish a complete aviation industry system from point to surface.
Piston fighters, first-generation fighters and then second-generation fighters.
From piston fighters to transport planes, bombers, and large jet aircraft.
This is a complete development thread.
Another point is that the Mustang fighter still had a market when the jet fighters of Western powers had not yet made progress.
As a top piston fighter, if it is put into the international arms market, many countries will be very interested.
Apart from the Fuso Empire, Jiang Hua wouldn't mind selling it to Tsarist Russia even if they wanted to buy it.
As long as the Shenzhou Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, which produces the Mustang, can receive orders for industrial upgrading, it will be enough.
Anyway, the ancient country's air force is now formulating plans to upgrade and replace its equipment.
By then, the ancient country's air force will replace the first-generation aircraft currently in service and directly jump to the second-generation aircraft stage.
比如F-4鬼怪战斗机、A-7攻击机、F-111战斗轰炸机、TU-22超音速战略轰炸机、安-22战略运输机、C-141大型运输机等等。
These are the top fighters in a series of fighters, and they are all well-known.
When these fighter jets are put into service, the ancient country's air force will further expand.
So what if we sell Mustang fighter jets all over the world?
Even if Tsarist Russia was equipped with 10,000 aircraft, it would not pose a big threat to the ancient country.
So even if Tsarist Russia wanted to buy it, Jiang Hua wouldn't mind selling it, but the selling price would definitely be higher than the market price.
"Would it be difficult to produce large piston aircraft now?"
While inspecting the Shenzhou Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, Jiang Hua asked Yu Guodong, the general manager of Guhang Industry, who was standing beside him.
Yu Guodong replied without hesitation: "We have now established most of the relevant supporting factories and have also sorted out a complete development framework.
If we want to produce it, there are no technical problems."
He said this with considerable confidence.
With their talented team, it is not difficult to master the manufacturing technology of piston aircraft.
The biggest difficulty for them is to train skilled aircraft manufacturing workers.
After hearing Yu Guodong's words, Jiang Hua nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. Then your group can directly start the research and development of passenger aircraft. We should strive to have our passenger aircraft start test flights next year and put it into commercial operation within two years."
After hearing Jiang Hua's words, Yu Guodong was overjoyed.
With their current capabilities, it is almost impossible for them to accept large orders from the IDF, so they can only rely on the international arms market.
However, the international arms market is complex and it remains unknown how many orders can be obtained.
But if it is the civil aviation market, then for Guhang Industry, it is a deep-sea market waiting to be developed.
He is very clear about how big the civil aviation market will be in the future.
Jiang Hua has now relaxed the restrictions on the civil aviation market, which will mark the beginning of the take-off of Guhang Industry.
"However, if civil aircraft manufacturing becomes involved with military-industrial complexes, it will cause some trouble.
After all, we are not a Western country, and such words will easily give others an opportunity to attack us.
Therefore, the passenger aircraft assembly process was separated first, and an independent company independent of the military industry system was established.
You, Guhang, are a parts supplier."
Jiang Hua knew very well the faces of these Westerners.
If the passenger aircraft industry threatens their civil aviation manufacturing industry, they will definitely try every possible means to curb it.
Therefore, we must not leave them with any obvious evidence and must eliminate the problem at the root.
As long as the entire market is dominated by the ancient country, it will not be their turn to speak.
Therefore, it is necessary to quickly occupy the technological high ground and seize the world's voice from the West.
Aviation, automobiles, ships, electronic information, biomedicine and other industries with high added value are technological highlands.
When these technological heights are conquered, what say will the West have?
In just two days, Guhang Industry submitted a report.
Feasibility Report on the Trial Production of Piston Engine Passenger Aircraft by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China
The name of the report is very long and the content is also very long.
It includes Gu Aviation Industry's analysis of the future prospects of the civil aviation passenger aircraft market, market research reports, production technology difficulties, costs, etc.
It contains tens of thousands of words and contains a lot of professional data.
Currently, aviation manufacturing companies such as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas in the United States have been deeply involved in the civil aircraft market for many years.
Among them, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas each launched the Boeing 247 and DC-1 passenger aircraft respectively in the first half of this year.
Although the performance is very average, it can only be used for medium and short-distance transportation, and is mainly used to transport mail.
For the current civil aviation market, the transportation of mail is the main profit point, and carrying passengers is basically not profitable.
Because there are still very few people willing to fly now.
Therefore, the Gu Aviation Industry Group plans to directly trial-produce two passenger aircraft.
One is a medium- to short-haul passenger aircraft that performs medium- to short-range transport missions.
One is a medium- to long-range passenger aircraft that performs intercontinental transport missions.
Directly cover the three areas of short-range, medium-range and long-range.
The prototype model selected for short- and medium-haul passenger aircraft is the DC-3, an upgraded version of the DC-5.
Although this passenger aircraft is not well-known, it is mainly because of the outbreak of war that all production capacity is used for the production of military transport aircraft.
After the end of World War II, aviation technology was greatly improved, and it was no longer suitable for the market, so not many were produced.
However, the application of many new technologies does make it superior to the DC-3 passenger aircraft in terms of performance.
This is also the reason why AVIC chose it as a short-haul passenger aircraft.
The passenger aircraft that carried out intercontinental routes was McDonnell Douglas' last piston passenger aircraft: the DC-7.
This thing is a technological product from the 50s and has excellent performance.
The maximum flight speed is 653 kilometers per hour and the maximum range is 9000 kilometers.
It can carry 105 passengers and fly a distance of nearly 6000 kilometers.
This already has the capability to carry out intercontinental flight missions when fully loaded.
If this passenger aircraft can be mass-produced, then Guhang Industry will have overcome the hurdle of large aircraft production.
The next step is to launch an attack directly on the mountain of large jet aircraft.
Guhang Industry has a very clear development strategy.
Moreover, this report was definitely not produced on the spur of the moment, but was premeditated long ago.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to investigate various data in such detail.
If I hadn't mentioned it during the inspection, they would have handed in the report soon.
Jiang Hua picked up the pen and signed his name on the back, which directly marked the beginning of Gu's civil aviation manufacturing industry.
November is a period of small industrial boom for the ancient country.
The core of the industry is steel and oil.
The good news that Yuguan Iron and Steel Plant and Shangjing Iron and Steel Plant had started production came one after another.
Since the second phase of the Anshan Steel Plant was put into production in May, the country's annual steel production has reached 5 million tons.
The reason for the sudden increase from 140 million tons to 350 million tons is that in addition to the 150 million tons of Anshan Iron and Steel Plant, small steel mills invested and built by local governments have been put into production one after another.
The output of these small steel mills ranges from only one to two thousand tons to twenty to thirty thousand tons.
It is mainly to meet the needs of local industrial construction.
The ancient country still has a huge gap in steel demand, so this steel can be fully consumed.
By November, the Yuguan and Shangjing steel mills had begun production one after another.
Among them, the Yuguan Iron and Steel Plant has a designed annual output of 200 million tons, and the Shangjing Iron and Steel Plant has a designed annual output of 100 million tons.
This also means that the ancient country's annual steel production will be at least 600 million tons next year.
This output already ranks among the top six in the world.
Only five countries, namely Hans, Tsarist Russia, John, Gaul and Citi, rank ahead of the ancient countries.
The most terrifying of these is undoubtedly the United States.
Last year they announced a staggering 4800 million tons of steel production.
It is expected that this year's annual steel production will easily exceed 5000 million tons.
The gap between 600 million tons and 5000 million tons of annual steel production can be imagined.
You have to know how many people the United States has, and how many people the ancient country has.
The ancient country still has a long way to go on the road of industrial development.
Fortunately, the ancient country is developing very fast, and it may be able to catch up in less than ten years.
Jiang Hua still has some confidence in this regard.
With no shortage of talent, technology and funds, the only thing lacking is time.
The ancient country has a great demand for steel, so the Executive Yuan of the ancient country has also begun to expand steel production capacity.
Provinces such as Shanghu, Jingbei, Zhili, Qidong, Huaijiang, Jinyuan, Tianfu, Lingnan, and Minyue began to launch large-scale steel projects one after another, directly achieving a leap-forward development in steel production.
Among them, the large steel mills with the lowest designed annual output all have an annual output of 100 million tons.
Among them, the Shanghai Municipal Hall made the largest investment.
The Shanghai Iron and Steel Plant they launched has a designed annual output of 500 million tons and is divided into three phases over five years.
Therefore, in the next few years, the ancient country's steel production capacity will show explosive growth.
Steel is the cornerstone of industry, while oil is the blood of industry.
In the field of petrochemicals, the ancient country has also made great progress.
