Chapter 1803 Father of Helicopter
Two days later, huge posters were posted all over the campuses of every university in Kunming.
There is only one content in the poster, which is that a large number of technical cadres are recruited in the industrial zone of northern Myanmar.
The threshold for recruitment can be said to be very low. As long as you have a university degree or above and love your motherland, you can hire it.
The treatment offered is also very attractive. The monthly salary during the trial period is 50 yuan, and the monthly salary after becoming a regular employee is 100 yuan. This pair of miserable college students cannot refuse.
In fact, not only college students, but also many professors are quite moved.
However, it is very regrettable that the northern Myanmar industrial zone only recruits science and engineering students or experts, and does not require any students or experts who belong to the humanities category.
The experts and professors in Kunming are basically humanities, and there are almost no scientists in science and engineering.
This is also a common phenomenon in the Republic of China. Humanities can be said to be full of talents, but there are only two or three experts and scholars in science and engineering, and they can be said to have no influence in the industry.
However, there are still great people in science and engineering outside the campus.
For example, Zhu Jiaren, the director of the Kunming Air Force First Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.
Zhu Jiaren is a real science and engineering master. He graduated from the Department of Aeronautics Engineering at MIT. He once worked at Chicago Xishi Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, Detroit Wauagasy Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, and Kansas Meiying Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. He has rich experience in aviation related industry.
After returning to China, he also presided over the design and development of a trainer machine.
Although it was a trainer that imitated France, it was built and flew.
Unfortunately, the industrial foundation of the Republic of China was too weak. Even if Zhu Jiaren had the ability to do so, he could not support a country's aviation industry.
For example, the First Air Force Aircraft Manufacturing Factory in Kunming is really famous, but it is actually an aircraft maintenance workshop. Moreover, slightly difficult mechanical failures, such as engine failure, cannot be repaired at all.
As for building aircraft, it is impossible, and you don’t have such a foundation at all.
In addition, the National Government Air Force has long been dead in name only, so Zhu Jiaren basically has nothing to do.
After work every day, I either read newspapers or drink tea, and then sigh at the failure of a battle on the front line, or rejoice at the victory on the battlefield in Myanmar.
If there is no big accident, such days will continue.
But today, an accident happened. When passing by the school gate of Southwest Associated University, Zhu Jiaren occasionally picked up a poster and was immediately attracted by the content on the poster.
Is it actually going to build an aircraft manufacturing factory in Myitkyina, northern Myanmar?
And this is not an ordinary aircraft manufacturer, but an aircraft manufacturer built based on the P-38 fighter production line of Curtis Company in the United States!
In other words, after the aircraft manufacturing plant in Myitkyina is completed, it can at least produce P-38 fighter jets!
If the aircraft manufacturing plants in Myitkyina are properly upgraded, in theory, they can even produce any fighter jet or even large bombers in the world today!
Because the poster clearly states that this aircraft manufacturer in Myitkyina includes an engine workshop!
The most core component of an aircraft is the engine. The engine can be produced, so the whole machine is not a problem.
And this is exactly what makes Zhu Jiaren the most attractive, because he has been fascinated by the research and development of helicopters recently, and he is eager to design and build a micro helicopter.
But I can't build an engine, but I can only give up.
But now, this aircraft manufacturer in Myitkyina has given him hope.
When he returned to the factory, Zhu Jiaren immediately handwritten a resignation statement, put it in an envelope and placed it on his desk, and then left.
...
Three days later, the dusty Zhu Jiaren appeared in Mandalay, Myanmar.
"Zhu Jiaren?" Zhong Yi was stunned when he heard that Zhu Jiaren wanted to see him, "What did he do in Myanmar?"
Because Zhong Yi had been in Kunming for a while and when he was rectifying Kunming Aviation School, he had met several times with Zhu Jiaren. He knew that there was such a person, but he had no in-depth communication.
"I don't know." Zhang Shiliang shook his head and said, "I just insist on seeing you."
Wang Geng said: "It may be for the Air Force's business. After all, he is the director of the Air Force's first aircraft manufacturing factory."
"See you, then." Zhong Yi nodded, "Please invite him in."
Zhang Shiliang soon led Zhu Jiaren in.
When Zhu Jiaren saw Zhong Yi again, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
When I first met Zhong Yi more than a year ago, this person was just a major general, and his position was only the chief of staff of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone and the chief of staff of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps.
Then after arriving in Kunming, he dared to kill Mao Bangchu and establish his authority without saying anything.
There are also the American instructors Chennard and others who are usually arrogant in Kunming, but in the end they are still treated with Zhong Yi and they dare not even give up half of their farts!
It’s even more amazing now. He is already the commander-in-chief of the war zone!
Zhu Jiaren stood at attention and saluted: "I am humble in Zhu Jiaren, please see Chief Zhong."
"Director Zhu, don't be too polite." Zhong Yi said, "You are an expert, let's not care about these."
Zhu Jiaren said straight to the point: "Sir Zhong is right. I am from science and engineering and I am not good at using it, so I went straight to the point and explained my purpose directly."
Zhong Yi smiled and said, "It should be like this."
Zhu Jiaren said: "I want to work in the Myitkyina aircraft manufacturing plant."
"You want to enter the Myitkyina aircraft factory?" Zhong Yi asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because there is an engine workshop in the Myitkyina aircraft manufacturing plant." Zhu Jiaren continued, "I want to study a helicopter. The design work has been done almost. Even the engine has been designed with a frame, but I have been struggling to find a suitable workshop to produce, so..."
"Helicopter?" Zhong Yi was heartbroken, "Do you want to build a helicopter?"
Zhu Jiaren couldn't tell any tendency from Zhong Yi's expression and asked, "Isn't that possible?"
"Yes, that's great!" Zhong Yi slapped his thigh and said, "If you want to build helicopters, I fully support you! This way, you were originally the director of the Kunming Air Force's No. 1 aircraft manufacturing factory. When the aircraft manufacturing factory in Myitkyina is completed, you will be the director. As for whether you want to build propeller fighters, helicopters or jet fighters, you will decide for yourself! Anyway, as long as it is your decision, our war zone chief will definitely support it and support it with all your strength!"
"Ah..." Zhu Jiaren was stunned immediately.
I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to be true?
And he was appointed as the director of the Myitkyina aircraft manufacturing plant?
Such a result was something Zhu Jiaren never expected.
Zhu Jiaren felt like he was dreaming and asked in a low voice: "Will this not be appropriate?"
"It's suitable, it's perfect!" Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Looking at the whole of China, is there a second person more suitable to be the director of the Myitkyina aircraft manufacturer than you?"
Chapter completed!
