Chapter 273 The Leader Summons Him Again
Qi Tongwei suddenly received a call from Leader Zhou, asking him to go to Beijing.
This made Qi Tongwei very happy; Zhou's call for him meant that the leader was going to summon him again.
Qi Tongwei took leave and arrived in Beijing as quickly as possible.
Upon arriving in Beijing, Qi Tongwei immediately contacted Leader Zhou, who then sent someone to pick him up.
Soon, Qi Tongwei returned to the same place as before and met with Leader Zhou.
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, I heard you've been transferred to a different job."
How's work going at your new place?
It was rare for Leader Zhou to show concern for Qi Tongwei's work.
The fact that the leader summoned Qi Tongwei a second time indicates that the leader highly approves of Qi Tongwei.
As the leader's secretary, he naturally had to maintain a good relationship with Qi Tongwei.
Perhaps Qi Tongwei will become his right-hand man in the future.
"Thank you for your attention. My work in Jinshan County, Lüzhou City is going very smoothly..."
Qi Tongwei gave a brief report on his recent work.
"Your idea is good: to get rich, build roads first."
Your approach is better. First, build the most important roads to ensure normal connectivity between the county seat and the city, and then address the connectivity between the county seat and the towns.
The reason I called you here is because the leader wants to see you. The leader has read the report you wrote about civil aviation aircraft last time.
There are some questions that need your answers!
Leader Zhou told Qi Tongwei the purpose of calling him over.
"Thank you for reminding me!"
Qi Tongwei said happily.
With Zhou's reminder, he soon knew how to answer.
Soon, Leader Zhou led Qi Tongwei into the leader's room.
"Good leadership!"
Qi Tongwei quickly greeted him.
For a lowly deputy division-level cadre like him to be summoned by his superiors twice is something he can be proud of for a lifetime.
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, your report on computer systems and computer chip architecture was very well written last time."
Relevant departments have already begun to study this issue.
"I called you here today because of the report you wrote about civil aircraft last time; I have some questions for you."
The leader first praised Qi Tongwei, and then explained the main topic.
"Thank you, sir. Please ask your question; I will answer to the best of my ability!"
Qi Tongwei immediately became serious and said.
Will the development of civil aviation in our country really be as fast as you say?
"The leader asked."
He knew that as the country developed and people became wealthier, civil aviation would become an important means of transportation for them.
However, Qi Tongwei stated in his report that the development of the civil aviation industry was much better and faster than he had anticipated.
It can transport not only people but also goods, greatly improving the travel speed for ordinary people and the transportation speed for goods.
However, Qi Tongwei also mentioned this in his report.
If we don't develop our own civilian aircraft, we will develop the core components of civilian aircraft.
The country's future advanced civil aviation industry will rely primarily on foreign-made civil aircraft and core components.
As a crucial part of industry, civil aviation aircraft are something our country has not mastered the core components of.
"Yes, sir!"
The rapid development of civil aviation is an inevitable result, thanks to your and the central leadership's correct guidance, which will lead our country to rapid development.
With the rapid development of our country, the people will gradually become wealthier.
People are increasingly needing transportation that can reach destinations thousands of kilometers away on the same day.
For such a long distance, a train would take a day and a half, or even three or four days, while a car would take two or three days, or even a week or two.
Therefore, the demand for air travel among ordinary people will continue to grow.
The demand for air travel among the general public has increased, and the existing civilian aircraft cannot meet the growing demand.
In addition to being used by ordinary people, future freight transport will also require a means of transportation to quickly reach its destination.
For example, documents, parts, medicines, fresh food, and postal parcels.
As a result, airlines need to purchase new aircraft to meet the public's demand for air travel and cargo transportation.
Our country does not have any civilian aircraft, so we have to buy them from abroad.
As air travel gradually becomes the main mode of transportation, airports will be built, airlines will be established, aircraft will be purchased, and civil aviation business will be carried out across the country.
This means that the demand for commercial aircraft will increase exponentially.
Even if each province needs 10 civil aircraft, that would amount to more than 300 nationwide.
This is a relatively conservative figure. In reality, a province might need 20 to 30 civil aircraft, which would add up to nearly 1,000.
Given the huge demand for civil aircraft, I don't think we should give all the orders to foreign companies; we should at least absorb half of them ourselves.
Airplanes are often referred to as the jewel of industry; if we can manufacture airplanes, we can master cutting-edge industrial manufacturing technology.
At that time, our country will be able to suffer less from the technological restrictions imposed on us by Europe and the United States.
With the ability to manufacture hundreds of aircraft, our country's industrial manufacturing level will be greatly improved, and a mature aircraft manufacturing industry will be formed.
This has greatly promoted the development of our country's industry.
Qi Tongwei replied.
In fact, the future development of civil aviation is even bigger than he is saying now.
Six or seven years later, the number of civil aircraft in the country reached more than 500.
Sixteen or seventeen years later, the number of civil aircraft in the country reached more than 1,500.
Thirty years later, the number of civil aircraft in the country will reach more than four thousand.
The market is enormous.
If we can capture half of the market, in the short term that would be two or three hundred commercial aircraft.
In the medium term, that's seven or eight hundred civil aircraft; in the long term, it's more than two thousand civil aircraft.
If two or three hundred aircraft can be manufactured in the short term, China's industrial manufacturing level will experience a qualitative leap.
In the medium to long term, if we manufacture more than 2,000 civil aircraft, our aircraft manufacturing technology will reach the world's advanced level, and the aircraft manufacturing industry will become an important industry in China.
China's aircraft might even be exported to countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, generating substantial foreign exchange earnings.
Moreover, in the future, China's industrial manufacturing will not be subject to the constraints imposed by Europe and the United States as it was in the past.
"So how can we ensure that our own aircraft can capture more than half of the market?"
You should know that our country doesn't have a mature aircraft manufacturing industry like other countries, and our technology lags far behind!
The leader continued to ask questions.
The fact that our technology lags far behind that of Europe and the United States means that even if we manage to manufacture civilian aircraft, the quality will be far inferior to that of Europe and the United States, and there will be a host of problems.
"Leader, our primary task is to manufacture the first civil aircraft!"
Then take it into the air and test it continuously until the aircraft is scrapped.
During the testing process, the aircraft was first launched empty for testing, and then cargo was gradually loaded for testing until it was fully loaded or even overloaded.
Throughout this process, we continuously discovered and resolved problems.
During testing, there is a possibility of accidents resulting in the destruction of the aircraft and loss of life; this is unavoidable.
We cannot be deterred by this; we must continue.
Then build a second aircraft, improve upon the first one, and solve all the problems that existed in the first aircraft.
Then the second aircraft was tested, problems were discovered, and those problems were resolved.
Then, improvements were made to the second aircraft to build a third aircraft...
Once the tenth aircraft has completed testing, I believe our aircraft manufacturing capabilities will have seen a significant improvement.
If the tenth aircraft still cannot reach the level of foreign aircraft, then we will continue to manufacture the eleventh aircraft and make improvements based on the tenth aircraft.
Then continue testing until it reaches the level of foreign aircraft.
Then we can start manufacturing the first batch of 10-20 commercial aircraft.
At the same time, it requires that half of the aircraft operated by airlines nationwide be domestically produced.
In particular, newly established airlines must purchase several domestically produced aircraft in order to conduct civil aviation business.
During the use of the first batch of civil aircraft, problems continued to be discovered and then resolved.
Once everything is confirmed to be in order, a second batch of 20-30 civilian aircraft will be manufactured.
Continue to identify and resolve issues during use.
Once everything is confirmed to be in order, we will manufacture a third batch of 30-50 civil aircraft.
To avoid serious accidents and huge casualties during the early use of mass-produced aircraft.
These planes can be used for cargo transport first, and then put into passenger transport after there are no problems with cargo transport.
In this way, our own civil aircraft can occupy a certain market share.
After that, we continued to improve, manufacture civil aircraft, and put them into civil aviation. More than ten years later, our own aircraft were able to occupy half of the market.
"When the technology matures, we might even be able to export aircraft."
Qi Tongwei said.
