After gaining the dominance of the Shenlong plan, Duke only felt that the burden was heavier. However, this plan was of great importance. The investment in R&D alone would reach tens of billions of yuan each year, involving hundreds of thousands of R&D personnel in various fields. The drone area was basically determined to be responsible for D**. When integrating resources, Qin Tairan made drastic adjustments to AVIC's R&D resources.

With experience in military engineering, Qin Tairan seems to be more at ease in handling AVIC R&D resources, especially after deploying a new R&D management system that Duke has effectively deployed, the project progress of various R&D institutions under AVIC can be promptly reviewed by third-party supervision agencies.

This powerful R&D management system has smooth information circulation. It integrates R&D institutions under AVIC across the country through a dedicated military network, turning the previous information island into a super large local area network, effectively separating management and R&D through cloud virtual applications, and solving the two major problems of progress monitoring and confidential R&D.

Since experts who monitor progress do not have to meet with personnel from the units responsible for business, they directly conduct progress assessments through the Internet, this makes R&D institutions that are used to conduct human offensives feel the crisis. Management measures related to strong progress and fund allocation have forced them to put project progress first. This has reformed many of the disadvantages of the original R&D management in terms of the system. Therefore, although Qin Tairan encountered great resistance from traditional forces, it still vigorously implemented it.

He cannot directly use money and transparent progress methods to solve the two driving forces of R&D like Duke, but being able to make progress as transparent as possible and block the allocation of funds can still greatly improve the shortcomings of the original R&D system. In addition, Duke's supercomputing cluster development environment composed of self-produced cheap servers and various efficient virtual simulation applications, researchers can use computer design and testing to solve more than 80% of the problems.

This greatly reduced the R&D cycle of a new product, allowing projects that originally took 35 years to obtain results to be significantly reduced to 12 years to see results. In particular, R&D work such as aerodynamic shape design of aircraft engines and aircraft has made amazing progress in the new R&D environment. It passed the electronic design scheme of computer simulation and simulation. After the computer wind tunnel simulation test, the prototype was manufactured and tested in the actual wind tunnel. The rework work was only a few percent.

The use of a large number of simulation applications developed by Duke has given military R&D institutions a rapid advance from the tools.

After the reboot, Duke, the military R&D, which was temporarily interrupted for a period of time, showed a more rapid development trend. Duke, the chief scientist who stood at the forefront of military R&D for the first time, has continuously absorbed and accumulated relevant knowledge in the research and development of the aviation field, providing Kerry with an extremely detailed knowledge base, allowing Duke to be able to judge whether there are major defects in the technical direction of each sub-project and whether the current progress meets expectations.

So soon, Duke also established the prestige of technical authority in the field of aviation, so that various R&D institutions would no longer dare to look at Duke as an outsider. In their eyes, this young genius who is extremely good at learning can quickly get started no matter what he learns, and soon became an expert. He is really a real expert who cannot fool him. Compared with the so-called chief scientists who were named before, it is really a world of difference.

Therefore, this huge R&D team began to change little by little, especially for departments whose progress was lagging behind expectations. If there were no real major technical obstacles to convince third-party supervision experts to monitor progress, the research funding would be suspended. What's more serious is that if the standards were not met for three consecutive times, the entire project would be suspended and transferred to other brother research departments for the undertaking.

Departments with advanced progress will not only allocate funds that match the progress in advance, but also have various specifications of reward funds based on the progress in advance. The project research and development is completed in advance without deducting the relevant research budget, so that the saved costs can be an additional reward fund for the project team. During the budget, each project has a set of strict rules. Relatively speaking, the budget data meets the current average level of each R&D institution.

If the R&D results indicators exceed the expected level at the same time, they will receive a heavy reward.

After this drastic change, more than two months later, when most projects entered the first milestone acceptance stage, Qin Tairan was surprised to find that from historical data, most of the research projects in many sub-fields were over budget and could not be completed. After the implementation of the new system, projects with overdue progress almost disappeared, because even if there are occasional special technical difficulties, with Duke's direct expert group and Duke himself assisting in solving the problem, the problem will usually be solved by postponing for more than ten days.

"Dear leaders, our Shenlong project involves more than 200 large and medium-sized projects. So far, there are 182 first milestones that should have reached as planned, and 178 actually arrived on schedule, with a scheduled arrival rate of up to 97.8%. Among them, 30% of the project's phased results performance indicators exceed expectations. For example, our WS13D and WS18 projects have completed the first core machine version of computer simulation modeling. The simulation acceptance test results show that the current indicators have reached 90% of the final indicators of the project, which greatly exceeds the expected indicators of the first version, allowing us to develop actual prototypes based on the first core machine computer model version, which greatly improves our progress."

Facing the heads of the General Staff and the General Assembly departments, Qin Tairan seemed very excited when making the Shenlong progress report. They did have reasons to be excited. According to previous experience, it took about 3 years for us to obtain other people's complete sets of information and wool parts to copy an engine. Now we are developing a new engine. Although it is improved on several previous generation products, electronic modeling was completed in just over 2 months. This progress is also quite amazing.

Advance at this speed, the prototype development of the first version of the core machine will be completed in about half a year. In this way, the experimental data obtained from the first prototype will be improved, and it will take about a year to produce the second version of the verification prototype to be finalized, which is equivalent to developing a new engine in about three years.

This speed is as fast as more than ten years and as fast as seven or eight years ago as compared to the previous development of a new engine, it is already a rocket-like speed.

The General Staff and the General Assembly Generals here were shocked when they heard this news. They had already overestimated Duke's ability. Of course, they still did not expect that the speed of R&D was still beyond their imagination. Thinking of this, these generals sincerely admired Mr. Liu's far-sighted vision and tried every means to win Duke into military R&D.

Letting a person outside the military be responsible for the crucial aviation equipment research and development of the military is not a courage that ordinary people can have, especially this person is still a young man in his early 30s. Although this young man has the huge halo of the Nobel Prize in his body is not an easy task in this era. This is no longer the era when everything is in trouble at the beginning of the founding of the country. He can be allowed to write on white paper by the older generation of technology giants of Qian.

"Mr. Qin, I see that the project is progressing very smoothly. Can you adjust the R&D plan and speed it up?" A major general listened to Qin Tairan's progress report and found some of them different from before. He couldn't help asking, "After all, most projects can be completed on schedule now. We can also save some funds after adjusting the plan, because I think it seems that there are more than the budget, and it does not reflect the characteristics of advance progress and cost saving."

"Don't!" Duke interrupted without waiting for Qin Tairan to speak. As the technical person in charge, he is of course the protagonist of the report today. "These plans are formulated based on our average level. If we go back on our word, the enthusiasm that we have finally improved will be severely hit. The current results are gratifying, most of which are achieved through hard work by R&D personnel. It is not that our plan is more relaxed than before. Everyone has seen that the design of the first version of our aircraft engine is actually only 3 months, which has greatly reduced the time compared to before. Although the improvement of the current R&D supporting environment has greatly improved R&D efficiency, the key is to stimulate the enthusiasm of R&D personnel.

Judging from our international counterparts, being able to complete the plan is the best result we can achieve.”

"Changing the plan now means that all previous efforts will be wasted, which will dampen the enthusiasm of R&D personnel and return to the old path of being overdoing things. The final result is that our projects will continue to be postponed, and we will also spend more R&D funds. Now we can use a small amount of incentive bonus to make the plan complete as scheduled or slightly ahead of schedule. The overall R&D cost is definitely much less than the original model."

Duke said firmly that he would never allow the current good situation to be interrupted by the blind commander from above.

Fortunately, the major general was just talking. Seeing that Duke reacted strongly, he did not mention this matter again, otherwise Duke would object even more fiercely.

After hearing Duke's speech, President Yang nodded frequently. On this, we used to make plans that were not rigorous enough and often had little executability, which led to the plan becoming a decoration, and eventually made every major project look like a fishing project. Not only did the progress delay be severely delayed, but the budget was also unstoppable.

Since Duke joined, the military's research projects began to keep up with the times, greatly enhancing the guidance and seriousness of the plan. Not to mention, in the drone alone, Duke's projects led by Duke's projects were significantly higher than the projects carried out by the military at the same time, which led to the fact that some of the projects under Duke were forced to hand over to Duke for control.

Now that this measure has been extended to the research and development of the military and aviation industry, the effect is also very gratifying. President Yang, who is good at grasping the macroscopy, is naturally very satisfied with this trend, and does not want to give any instructions on Duke and his work. The layman commanding and professionals have suffered too much. Today, there are still some people in our leadership department that have not turned a corner. We should have fewer and fewer such people.

Thinking of this, President Yang glanced at the major general who had just proposed to change the plan. This person seemed to be of no use. President Yang silently gave him a conclusion that he had a bright future in his heart.
Chapter completed!
