The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 604

Chapter 604: Is the spirit of craftsmanship enough?

 In fact, NSK Group's decision to give in is not entirely their own decision.

 Mainly there is also pressure from domestic peers in Japan.

As Chang Haonan found out before, this kind of large-scale and systematic fraud cannot be done by only one or two companies.

When the incident becomes more and more serious, other Japanese companies with similar behaviors will have to worry about whether they may also be implicated if they allow the storm to continue.

Therefore, from an overall perspective, the best way is for NSK Group to fight mines on its own and let this matter end here.

  In other words, they are prepared to lose their coach but keep their coach.

Even if the NSK Group's reputation is discredited, as long as the limelight passes and the overall reputation of Japanese companies is not greatly affected, it will not be difficult to change its shell and be reborn after several changes of hands.

 But if it causes a chain reaction, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, just a few days after Fiat Group issued a public statement, NSK Group quickly kneeled down and admitted that there were procedural omissions in the quality inspection process and was willing to compensate for all losses caused by such incidents.

Of course, higher levels must also nod, but Chang Haonan reported this matter when the J-10 made its first flight last year, so there will be no problem.

 “Is it going to have an impact...there will definitely be some.”

“Xiao Chang, now that the No. 01 and No. 03 prototypes of Project 10 have entered the test flight stage, will any major changes to the aircraft design at this point in time affect the overall progress of the project?”

Just when the topic about the J-10 came to an end, Lan Xinzhi stood outside and knocked on the door.

 So he just nodded and replied:

“Then you first ask Rong Fei to prepare the relevant documents in advance. Then Minister Cao and I will sign directly. We will try our best to make the connection as seamless as possible without delaying the progress of the work.”

Chang Haonan is not a fairy. To redesign the entire structure of the aircraft in the near future, it will definitely require a lot of people from the original project team:

“For example, more cables and air circuits can be arranged inside the wing, and two pylons can be added, which can also leave margin for replacing a phased array radar with a heavier antenna in the future.”

˜ Equivalent to the J-10, which is my country's first independently developed third-generation aircraft, but it already has 20 years of test flight experience as a reference, so it is naturally easier than trying to figure everything out from scratch.

If there are major changes to a major equipment research and development project like Project 10, it must be signed and approved by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the General Armament Department at the same time.

“In news sent back from the Consulate in Marseille, NSK Group announced that it accepted the conditions proposed by Eurocopter and Fiat Group, and agreed to provide the same level of compensation to all other users who had similar problems.”

When the news reached China, Chang Haonan had just finished the component-level testing of Turbofan 10 and returned to the capital. He was reporting to the Science and Industry Committee and Ding Gaoheng on the progress of the project and his subsequent trip to Chengdu.

 The two people who were sitting in the office were almost stunned when they heard the news.

Ding Gaoheng heard this explanation and did not ask any more questions.

On this timeline, since Chang Haonan has developed a series of methods to improve test flight efficiency since participating in the 83rd Project, if there are no other problems, the speed of prototype testing will be much faster than in the past. .

“NSK Group's attitude...changes very quickly?”

 “Director Ding, Mr. Chang.”

As he spoke, he placed a telegram manuscript in his hand on Ding Gaoheng's desk:

 After all, in the aviation field today, what Chang Haonan said still carries a certain weight.

“If nothing else, the remaining 200-300 kilograms of empty weight can free up a lot of freedom in the design of other subsystems.”

“However, compared to the improvement in model combat effectiveness, the impact on progress is still worth it.”

Ding Gaoheng picked up the telegram and read it again:

 “I thought they would choose to fight to the end.”

Because the NSK Group's fraud was first discovered in the die forging press project, Chang Haonan, after the initial investigation, the Science and Technology and Industry Committee held an expanded meeting of team members to discuss the matter.

 The current strategy of digging holes for the Japanese was also decided at that time. So Ding Gaoheng naturally knows a lot of details.

“It's really not like a Japanese character.”

Chang Haonan actually expected that NSK would change its attitude, but it was a bit surprising to him that it was so natural to slide and kneel.

Especially when just a week ago, the other party was saying harsh words to Eurocopter and said it would go to court.

It seems even more hilarious.

"However, I guess it is because they have exerted some domestic pressure."

After calming down his almost unbearable mood, Chang Haonan speculated:

“After all, everyone's attention is still focused on the NSK Group itself. If this matter continues to ferment, those good Western reporters don't know what they will continue to dig up.”

“According to our investigation results, this is not the only Japanese company that privately engages in OEM sales or passes off substandard products as good ones.”

Hearing this, Lan Xinzhi next to him couldn't help but feel a little anxious:

“Then…in any case, NSK has admitted this, and has held a special press conference to explain and apologize for the matter. This is a sufficient gesture. Will this matter just go away?”

Chang Haonan instantly caught the key words from his words:

“Wait a minute, you said they are going to hold a press conference to apologize?”

Lan Xinzhi, who had never seen the spirit of craftsmanship, naturally did not expect that Chang Haonan's focus would be here. He hesitated for a moment before nodding:

"Well...at least, that's what the draft says. The time is the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

 This news made Chang Haonan sit up straight:

"This matter needs to be reported by the media. It is best if it can be on the news. It will be on all CCTV news in rotation and broadcast for several days."

“Also, we ourselves are also victims of the NSK fraud incident. This matter must be prosecuted in domestic courts, go through the legal process completely, and let the media do a follow-up report!”

“Wanting such a big battle?”

Lan Xinzhi blurted out in surprise.

Although Ding Gaoheng next to him didn't speak, his expression was obviously shocked.

Chang Haonan nodded without hesitation:

“If we want to outperform the Japanese in the international market, at least domestically, we must first break the idol that Japanese companies have built for themselves over the years.”

“Think about it, when we first discovered that NSK Group was committing fraud, even our first reaction was that we couldn't believe it, let alone ordinary people.”

“After so many years of opening up, and with the deliberate momentum created by various media and propaganda, Japanese companies have almost become a belief in our country. This is unacceptable to us under any circumstances!”

 In fact, as a reborn person, Chang Haonan certainly does not have the so-called "hard to believe" problem.

But after all, Ding Gaoheng was also there at this time. It would be a bit disgraceful for him not to include himself.

“Okay, I'll coordinate with the Propaganda Department, there shouldn't be any problem.”

Ding Gaoheng made the final decision and agreed to Chang Haonan's plan:

“In addition to these, should we take some actions internationally?”

"Of course."

Chang Haonan replied almost without thinking:

"A great man once said that it is better to chase down the poor bandits with the remaining brave men, and not to use the name of the academic overlord. Now is a good time to beat up the lost dogs, and we must not let them go easily."

“NSK Group wants to draw all the firepower to itself by bowing and apologizing, but we cannot let them do so.”

“Don't alert the snakes in the past two days, let them relax their vigilance, wait until the day after the press conference, and then use the European media to expose the black materials we have about several other Japanese companies!”
