Chapter 166 China can do it, so can I
Isn't a company that can play a key role in the development and production of third-generation combat aircraft worth learning from?
Of course it is worth it, not only worth it, but also worth it.
It should be noted that after the end of the Cold War, especially after the Russian economic recession caused the loss of a large number of aviation engineering and technical personnel, aviation technology spread exponentially around the world.
So many countries regard this as an excellent opportunity for their country to get involved in high-end industrial manufacturing.
It is from South America to the Middle East, from the Red Sea to the Caribbean coast. Any country with some ability and wealth wants to get a share of the aviation manufacturing industry. There is no way, it is really the industry that is too tempting.
Not only is it profitable, it can also drive a huge industrial chain and absorb a considerable number of employed people. More importantly, once you master the relevant technology, you can make efforts in both military and civilian products, thereby achieving complete independence in economy and national defense.
This is simply too tempting for many developing countries in the world.
As a result, Türkiye, New Delhi, Indonesia, Iran, Egypt, and even Iraq, which was knocked out in the Gulf War, launched its own aviation industry development plan.
Among them, Indonesia is the most stable. It not only has its own mass-produced model of its own transport aircraft, but also launched regional passenger aircraft. There are even rumors that Indonesia has begun to design its first domestic combat aircraft.
Based on this, the World Bank's research and report predicts that the Indonesian aviation industry will have a profound impact on the world's aviation industry structure in the next ten years and is very likely to become a new giant in the aviation manufacturing industry.
Indonesia will also bring an increase of 1.2% to its GDP every year due to its own aviation industry development.
Because of this, although Indonesia suffered a heavy blow in the Asian financial crisis in 1997, it still reserved a large amount of funds for its aviation industry in the budget at the end of the year. It can be said that it is trying its best to protect the lifeline of this manufacturing industry that concerns the country's destiny.
Seeing that countries around the world are secretly making efforts in the aviation manufacturing industry, the world's aviation industry is about to usher in the biggest outbreak since World War II, those knowledgeable people from the Middle East and North Africa who have made their fortunes with oil and gas resources can no longer sit still.
In their opinion, even if oil and natural gas can bring wealth to the country, it is not a long-term solution. It is still necessary to have a corresponding industrial system like developed Western countries.
Of course, the industrial system of these people with knowledge is not to make two webs and produce a few pieces of sanitary napkins. If you want to do it, you have to do it with high-end, atmospheric and high-end. It just so happens that the world's aviation industry has ushered in a new round of explosion. Those people with knowledge feel that this should be a good opportunity for them.
As a result, a fierce plunge into it and found that NM was still one step late.
There is no way. The main reason for this round of aviation industry explosion was the collapse of the Soviet Union and the economic recession in Russia, which led to the loss of a large number of technical talents and equipment in the aviation industry.
To put it bluntly, it was the disintegration of the former Soviet aviation technology that allowed some countries that were fortunate to inherit had some foundation in the aviation industry, and then began to try to seek breakthroughs in the international aviation product market, creating the so-called big explosion of the controversy among hundreds of schools of thought.
It is not that country that has really made corresponding breakthroughs based on its own technical strength and has established itself in aviation technology. As for challenging traditional giants like Boeing, it is even more impossible to do so.
Although the Middle East and North Africa know the tricks, the constraints in China are too great. After all, it is so good to make money in oil and gas fields. Why do you have to work hard to do the manufacturing industry? Don’t worry about it or be tired?
Waiting for these knowledgeable people in the country to convince the conservatives of their country without hesitation, they found that all the aviation technical talents and equipment in the former Soviet Union were snatched up, and there was nothing left to them.
What to do? If you go back empty-handedly, you will be ridiculed by the conservatives for being a little bitch, so you will be kicked off the stage by the bastard who is waiting to die.
For the sake of face and for the sake of position, these knowledgeable people finally took their trump card - money ability.
It doesn’t matter if I didn’t grab the Soviet Union’s inheritance. Anyway, I have money, so I just bought it.
So these knowledgeable people began to stir up trouble in the world's aviation manufacturing industry by relying on oil and gas fields in various countries. After two or three years of hard work, they found that they had not obtained anything except spending a lot of money to get messy.
It was not until this time that these knowledgeable people from the Middle East and North Africa discovered that their money ability could allow supercar companies to work overtime overnight; they could allow luxury stores in Paris to stay up all night; they could allow London real estate agents to stay enthusiastic; they could allow Milan’s supermodels to open their minds without reservation...
But in real core aviation technology, their money can't even buy a word from others.
The problem is that this situation is not only in the developed United States and Europe, but also in Russia, which was severely damaged, because Russia, who has come back to its senses, has realized the disadvantages of technology loss and has taken action to close the door.
The most advanced ones can’t be bought, the next level ones are OK.
Not to mention the backward generation of aviation technology and complete sets of equipment in the United States and Europe, some of them are very happy to sell. Several countries in the Middle East and North Africa happily bought them and took them apart and then found that they were not suitable for the local environment, so many of them were finished after using them a few times.
I want to repair it, sorry, Europe and the United States have stopped production of similar equipment and there are no accessories. If you want, you must rebuild the production line. The production line start-up cost of 1 billion US dollars. Mr. Lu Guo, please tell me if you can help you report it first.
Although the Middle East and North African countries have money, they can't stand this trouble, so they gritted their teeth and stuffed a bunch of scrap copper and iron bought at high prices into the warehouse, just pretending that they were buying a bunch of super sports cars that could not be driven.
But this is not enough. Not only can I keep my seat and face, but I will be poked at the back and scolded my prodigal son. So these knowledgeable people began to look at this issue from a development perspective, that is, what kind of technical path is suitable for developing countries like them.
After searching, alas~ China's technical path is very good. It has been half a century since the founding of the People's Republic of China and the establishment of the aviation industry for more than 40 years. Not only can it produce medium-sized fighter jets, but it can also localize heavy fighter jets.
Who knows that although China's GDP is now ranked among the top ten, its per capita GDP is even worse than that of countries in the Middle East and North Africa, and the people's knowledge structure and literacy are far from each other. Not to mention the proportion of bachelor's degree or above, even the proportion of college or above is not as high as that of undergraduate degree in the Middle East and North Africa.
The result is that such countries can produce aviation industry products that make them drool.
