Chapter 114 Landslide! Earth crack! (Please subscribe!)

In the ward, Li Rongcheng's expression was so bad for the first time, and Ye Xian, who had originally disbelief of what Xu Cang said, also remained silent. Xu Cang accurately stated the manufacturer serial number of the aircraft, which was too convincing alone.

Li Rongcheng forced his restless heart to suppress his restless heart. He didn't know why he was led by the nose when he was "negotiating" with Xu Cang. He understood that Xu Cang was already completely controlling the pace of negotiations, which was a very bad sign.

Finally, Li Rongcheng sighed helplessly: "Xu Cang, let me tell you clearly. The Boeing 737-600 six years ago did not count, but it has only been less than three years since the NG series was produced in the true sense. Although it has been fifty years since the Original appeared, the 737 is definitely not a new model, but I can say that there are huge updates in the NG series compared with the Original series. In a sense, it is okay to say that two different aircraft are also possible. How can we hand over all the drawings of a new model that has been produced in just a few years?"

Xu Cang did not respond, and of course he understood where Li Rongcheng's helplessness was.

It can be said without hesitation that if 737 only stays in the NG series, rather than forcibly launching the 737MAX upgrade plan to catch up with A320NEO. Then, in the world's narrow body machine field, 737NG will become a existence close to the peak of history.

I believe many people know the elegant name of 737 "Air Gym". This is indeed mostly out of ridicule, but many pilots criticized the annoying operation method of 737. It is precisely because of this that after the launch of Airbus 320, the full-fly operation method allowed the cockpit pilots to no longer have to exercise their muscles at all times, so Airbus began to make a comeback on this narrow-body model.

One thing Li Rongcheng is right. Although the NG series is only the second generation version of 737 and relies on the 737 platform, compared with 737 Original, the NG series is by no means as simple as a PRO version.

When it comes to the NG series, larger wings, higher tails, and more digital cockpit displays are often listed advantages. However, what really transforms the NG series is the fully digital management system of the engine - FADEC, which is the Full Authority Digital Engine Control.

It is this engine digital management system that allows the 737 to realize the true automatic throttle for the first time. In this way, the pilot's operating burden is greatly reduced, and the information acquisition path brought about by the integrated LCD display of the cockpit is improved. However, in terms of human-computer interaction, NG has achieved a leapfrog development.

It greatly makes up for the shortcomings. With the lighter body structure, lower fuel consumption, and excellent reliability, the 737NG is worthy of being the pinnacle of a single-channel narrow body machine.

It is precisely because of his profound understanding of all this that Xu Cang sneered at the old Boeing 757. If he had a choice, he would choose the 757 only if he had a water in his mind.

As long as you get the 737NG drawings and understand them thoroughly, the domestic civil aviation aircraft design industry can produce at least 20 years of leapfrog development.

However, when Li Rongcheng's tone seemed to be beaten to death, it was difficult to deal with it.

"Xu Cang, 737NG should not work, 757 can be negotiated." Li Rongcheng was considered a showdown, and this sentence is equivalent to the bottom line.

However, Xu Cang's current thoughts are different from before. When he met Li Rongcheng alone, he was still confused and didn't know the difficulties Boeing said he was facing. But now it's different. Boeing's little thing has been understood by Xu Cang, and it's ridiculous to rely on a Boeing 757 to disperse himself.

"It's okay, let's talk about the 737th thing later. The problem in the verification flight report is another price." At this time, Xu Cang was like a shrewd businessman, constantly bargaining: "There is a very serious problem in the verification flight of 777. If that problem is not solved, it will be useless if anyone flies."

"Impossible, there is absolutely no problem with the design of 777." Ye Xian said coldly.

Xu Cang implies that the problem with 777 is not the operator, or that human beings are not the root cause, but 777 itself has problems, which Ye Xian cannot accept.

"Is there any problem not up to you?" Xu Cang smiled and said, "Let's stop here today. I'm tired. When I think of any conditions, I will tell you. Don't worry, it won't be the 737NG drawing, and it's likely that you can accept it. Moreover, I would like to advise you that it's best not to conduct verification flights before solving the problem, otherwise it's easy to waste your last chance. By then, it's hard to save the gods."

When Li Rongcheng heard Xu Cang say this, he breathed a little relieved. It seemed that things still had room for a turnaround. As long as it was not the 737NG drawings, everything would be easy to say.

Li Rongcheng nodded: "Then I won't disturb you from resting, wait for Mr. Xu to contact you."

Ye Xian wanted to say a few more words, but he was pulled away by Li Rongcheng.

As soon as the two left the ward, Ye Xian began to complain to Li Rongcheng: "Did you really believe that kid? The problem that the technical department of our headquarters cannot find can be seen by looking at a verification flight report? Moreover, I doubt whether this kid has read the flight report. Maybe he only knows the manufacturer's serial number."

"I also thought about this possibility, but verified that the engine was shut down continuously during flight, and I couldn't find out where the problem was. It's not scary to have a problem, but what's scary is that I don't even know what the problem is." Li Rongcheng gritted his teeth and could see that he was under great pressure: "I didn't say that I fully believe Xu Cang, but it's okay to listen to what he said. What if it is really solved? Ye Xian, you should also know that the headquarters is under great pressure now. Xu Cang is right. If 777 can't hold up, 767 will be difficult to take the big responsibility. Airbus 330 can grab the market between 747 and 737 without leaving any left. The progress of 7E7 is too slow, and it cannot quench the near thirst."

Ye Xian's face turned ashen, and such an embarrassing situation was something Boeing had never expected. Airworthiness had such a big fuss, which was unimaginable to any large aircraft research and development institution. It happened that the 777 was a existence that Boeing believed could take the lead alone, and there was no suitable substitute.

For example, the 757 and 767 are Boeing's sudden confusion after achieving great success in the 737 and 747. It was just a casual work launched in the middle market of the two, which was not as important as the 777.

Ye Xian clenched his teeth. He always felt the supreme glory of being a Boeing man, but this so-called pride was shattered by Xu Cang.

"What should I do now?" Ye Xian said in a deep voice.

Li Rongcheng also looked a little depressed: "Then wait, what else can I do?"

Just as Li Rongcheng and Ye Xian walked and talked, they did not notice that a middle-aged man in a gray coat leaned at the door when they came out. After they left, the man quickly turned into the ward.

As soon as the middle-aged man came in, Xu Cang, who was just about to rest, suddenly opened his eyes, turned to the door, and said a little surprised: "Master, I thought you were gone."

"I was indeed ready to leave just now, but I happened to run into those two people coming to find you, so I listened at the door for a while." The middle-aged man was Xu Cang's master Chen Xiangdong. Chen Xiangdong said with a little teasing, "It seems that the flight report of the Boeing 777 I gave you is still useful."

That's right, the verification flight report of the Boeing 777 that Li Rongcheng has never understood was given by Chen Xiangdong to Xu Cang.

The Boeing 777 is no longer in the R&D stage, and many data reports at that time must be kept confidential. However, now that the Boeing 777 is approaching commercial use and is in the final stage of obtaining commercial operation qualifications, the data on its verification flight verification must be limited and public, especially to the Civil Aviation Administration where the future may buyers are located.

Because the planes are to be sold in the future, all of these reports must be submitted to obtain type certification, so the significance of whether they are kept confidential is not very important.

After Chen Xiangdong learned about the Boeing 777, he directly asked Sheng Gaoliang, the director of the Aircraft Airworthiness Certification Department. Sheng Gaoliang felt that this thing was not a secret anyway, so he gave it to Chen Xiangdong without any obstacles.

During the chat with Director of the Hang An Office, Chen Xiangdong, who learned that Xu Cang was injured, rushed to Jianchuan without stopping and gave the report to Xu Cang.

Xu Cang really didn't expect Chen Xiangdong to get a 777 verification flight report directly. His original intention was to ask Chen Xiangdong to inquire casually, but he didn't know there was any surprise.

"It's very useful." Xu Cang smiled and said, "Master, can you still catch the plane?"

Before Li Rongcheng came, Chen Xiangdong happened to leave to catch the plane. As a result, Chen Xiangdong was curious and eavesdropped outside the door for a while, then returned.

"Come on, there are so many planes in Hanjing." Chen Xiangdong pulled a chair and sat beside the bed: "What you said just now is true?"

Xu Cang chuckled: "Master, that part, do you mean?"

"There is something wrong with the Boeing 777." Chen Xiangdong was obviously very curious: "I heard you just said it confidently."

Xu Cang shook his head: "There is no problem with the Boeing 777 itself, and the problem is something else."

"Oh, that's it." Chen Xiangdong nodded as if he had some understanding: "Then can you grab this and quarrel with Boeing?"

"No!" Xu Cang's face was not so happy: "That problem is actually just caused by blind spots in thinking. Even if I don't say it, Boeing should be able to notice it. It just takes some time. In this matter, it's better not to force Boeing too hard and stop it at the right time. However, Master, aren't you curious about what the problem is?"

"Not interested." Chen Xiangdong stood up and patted his clothes: "Okay, let's go!"

"Master!" Xu Cang suddenly remembered Qin Xin's phone call just now. When Chen Xiangdong was about to leave, he asked: "Will it be convenient if you ask you to help with the application for the route?"

Chen Xiangdong's expression changed slightly: "Xu Cang, it doesn't matter if I help you with some things that do not involve principles. But, if you asked me to help apply for a route, is it for me to use my power for personal gain?"

Xu Cang's face was a little embarrassed, but it was not surprising. Chen Xiangdong is such a person, with a clear bottom line and no one will make a breakthrough. It is precisely because of this personality that Chen Xiangdong stayed at the dean of the Flight Academy for a long time, and his group of friends had already made great achievements in the General Administration, and he has been waiting until now.

Perhaps because he felt that he was a little embarrassed by his words, Chen Xiangdong spread his hands: "Besides, I am a deputy, and the route application is not a big deal with me, so it's not easy to deal with."

"I know, Master, I'm talking nonsense." Xu Cang thought for a while: "But if it's just a boarding route, the Regional Administration can handle it with full authority. Will the General Administration not interfere?"

Chen Xiangdong nodded: "Yes, that's what the domestic flight approval rules sent in the past two years say. Xu Cang, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Cang smiled and said, "It's nothing. Without the intervention of the General Administration, it's still easier to deal with just the regional administration."

"I don't know what you are talking about." Chen Xiangdong looked at the table below. The time was almost over and he couldn't delay any more: "By the way, the conclusion of 9811 to you will be soon."

Xu Cang was stunned: "So quickly? The bureau has never interviewed me seriously."

"What are you talking about?" Chen Xiangdong rolled his eyes: "They don't even understand, so how can they talk about it? I guess they will go through a formality later and then draw a conclusion."

At this moment, the base building of Muhua Airlines, Yangcheng. It can only be said that Muhua Airlines is one of the three major airlines after all, with a big family. Compared with Muhua Airlines, the base building of Blue Sky Airlines is full of small family spirit everywhere.

The headquarters base building of Muhua Airlines is a twin tower structure, connected by a steel-framed glass tower bridge. On the bridge, Ma Cheng, who has returned to Yangcheng, and Liu Minxue, director of the recruitment office of Muhua Airlines, stand side by side, holding a cup of coffee in his hands, overlooking the entire Muhua Airlines base park, blowing the breeze, which is so comfortable.

"Until now, Blue Sky Airlines has not sent Xu Cang here?" Liu Minxue narrowed his eyes slightly in the wind.

Ma Cheng smiled lightly and leaned against the railing: "It's okay, I have already agreed with the senior executives of Blue Sky Airlines that sooner or later, a fine route, they can tell which one is more important."

"But it seems different now." Liu Minxue shrugged: "Have you heard about 9811? Before, I never thought that a person could actually calculate a program trajectory. Moreover, how did he level it in the end? Does it rely on a radio altimeter? He should not hear it. It is the ground effect? ​​But can the ground effect really be distinguished by somatosensory?"

Ma Cheng curled his lips: "The ground effect of 747 is stronger than that of 737, so it should be more obvious, right? However, no matter what, the 9811 incident made Xu Cang famous in the circle."

Liu Minxue also agreed: "This time you look at people is really vicious! If you can really exchange a high-quality route for Xu Cang, I think this deal is still a good deal. As a pilot, I feel that it is almost over. It is really hard to imagine that he is still a second-teacher in the technical level. It is indeed the only student in the history of the Flight Academy who graduated with full marks!"

"I said Lao Liu, why do you think this way? What can a single pilot do? I admit that Xu Cang is very powerful, but in this industry, pilots are just tools, what decisive role can they play? Even if he reaches the pinnacle of the pilot, so what?" Compared to Liu Minxue's heartfelt appreciation of Xu Cang, Ma Cheng insisted on a pragmatic view: "If it weren't for a special period, Boeing happened to need a pilot like Xu Cang, and I don't think Xu Cang could be worthy of a high-quality route."

Liu Minxue glanced at Ma Cheng: "I really don't like people like you."

Liu Min learned the words to use very precisely. Not liking them does not mean not approving them, but it just reveals a sense of helplessness in his tone.

"But only people like me can help the company develop better." Ma Cheng did not hide his influence and even took pride in it.

"However, will Blue Sky Airlines have some other thoughts after 9811, such as waiting for a price?"

Ma Cheng sneered: "A regional airline has never left the southwest. If we really want to think about it, we have some ways to deal with it. However, the most urgent task is to solve the problem after the 747 grounding. Now 60% of the routes in North America and Europe are responsible for 747. Now all are stopped. The fleet of 330 can't be adjusted to help, so we have taken a lot of flights. Moreover, most of our freight is responsible for 737-300 and 747, especially international freight is basically responsible for 747, and the freight department is also having a great headache now."

Liu Minxue used to be a senior executive of Muhua Airlines, but she couldn't stand the style of some senior executives, and was alone and unable to change. Finally, she retreated to the recruitment office to train new people.

However, Liu Minxue is still a little bit energetic at the top and is also concerned about the development of Muhua Airlines in his heart. He asked: "Isn't this suing Boeing?"

"The lawsuit must be sued. Isn't Blue Sky Airlines just planning to sue Boeing? Our legal department also said it can be sued, but the time is wrong."

After all, Liu Minxue retreated, and the news lags a little, and he can't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"

"Isn't it just the purchase plan of the plane! There are 500 aircraft in total, and our Muhua occupied 200, all of them from Boeing." Speaking of this, Ma Cheng was a little annoyed: "The news came from the above this time. I only knew that after such a big thing happened, where did we get two hundred aircraft in such a short time?"

After Ma Cheng said this, Liu Minxue knew what he was talking about. Ma Cheng was clearly complaining that the Civil Aviation Administration had too late to reveal the news and had no time to prepare.

Aircraft are not street stall goods, and they can produce as much as they want. Large passenger aircraft have capacity indicators, and they can only produce so many for a period of time, and they can’t even be anxious.

In the future, the Civil Aviation Administration intends to relax market control, which means that domestic civil aviation will develop leapfrogly. In line with this, more aircraft are needed to fill the extra market share. If you step a little late, you will not even have the opportunity to drink soup.

Because of this, the three major aviation companies have taken advantage of their wealth and temporarily purchased a large number of scheming to cope with the future rise of the civil aviation market.

But the problem is that the Civil Aviation Administration disclosed it too late. Such a big decision should be made more than three years in advance so that the three major aviation aircraft can spare their energy and make preparations in an orderly manner. But as far as Ma Cheng knows, the decision to liberalize the civil aviation market will be released after more than one year or two years at the fastest.

In such a short time, even the three major airlines cannot accumulate enough power to divide the extra market. That means that some of the market will be occupied by other airlines.

The three major airlines, which have always regarded themselves as the leader of domestic civil aviation, have always adhered to the principle that they eat meat and other airlines are only suitable for licking the bottom of the bowl. In their opinion, the domestic civil aviation market is their own land, and other airlines need to look at their faces if they want to get a piece of the pie.

But once the civil aviation market is liberalized and the three major airlines do not have enough aircraft to digest the rapidly developing market share, the airlines will naturally take over.

Now other airlines don’t have to lick the bottom of the bowl, but may even be able to eat a portion of meat, which makes Ma Cheng extremely dissatisfied.

In the past, whenever there were any policy changes, the three major airlines received the news early. When the policy came out, they would first wipe out the policy dividends. Other airlines could only stare at them later.

As time goes by, Ma Cheng instinctively feels that the dividends generated by national policies should be divided into three major airlines. When will it be the turn of other airlines for cats and dogs?

Ma Cheng continued to complain: "As far as I know, Boeing can only allocate an additional 300 aircraft to us in the next two years. How to divide these 300 aircraft depends on Boeing's decision. You said, we dare to sue Boeing now? It's really bad luck. When will we Muhua even break our teeth and swallow it?"
