Chapter 170
Chapter 170
Beetle has already built a factory in Germany.
The cars at this plant are exclusively for the European region.
Sales in Germany now exceed 50,000 vehicles a month.
Monthly sales in Britain also exceeded 30,000 units~.
Monthly sales in Europe exceeded 100,000 units.
From dismal sales at the beginning, - to today's big sales.
Inseparable from marketing and publicity.
Of course, it also has a lot to do with its cheap enough.
After all, it is still in an economic crisis.
Countries are licking their wounds.
There is not much money in the hands of the population.
But in Europe, cars have become a necessity for many people.
So they urgently needed a small bridge car for families that was cheap enough.
The Beetle stands out at this time.
It sells for just 1,000 Reichsmarks, or around $250.
This price is basically the same as a motorcycle.
And its performance is not bad yet.
The maximum speed is 100 kilometers per hour, and the fuel consumption is 7L per 100 kilometers.
Various configurations are also available.
The monthly sales of 100,000 illustrate its popularity in Europe.
Although it is not comparable to the myth of Ford.
But this is already a very huge progress for Huaxia's automobile industry.
In addition to the car itself.
Zhang Xueming also attaches great importance to the construction of the upstream, middle and downstream industrial chain of automobiles.
All kinds of spare parts must be strictly controlled.
The Beetle is popular on the European side.
But when the ocean crossed the sea and reached the territory of Eagle Sauce.
Sales are not very good.
After all, this is the home base of Ford.
And the people of Eagle Sauce prefer big cars.
And not this petite small family passenger car.
At this time, a full-size SUV from Huaxia Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd. was born.
The shape of this car is more rounded than the square shape of the current car.
And the car was designed to blow a wind tunnel.
This shape is also blown out through a wind tunnel.
Wind resistance has been reduced as much as possible.
It uses a 6-cylinder, 108-horsepower petrol engine.
Due to the large all-metal body.
It has a maximum speed of just 80 yards and fuel consumption of up to 18 yards.
But its wide interior can accommodate up to 8 people.
It also has a certain loading function and can carry up to half a ton of cargo.
It combines load capacity with great comfort.
This versatile large SUV Eagle Sauce was launched locally.
It still received very wide attention.
They were very interested in this versatile model.
And its price is not very high.
Only $980 is required.
When it was launched into the market.
In the first month, I achieved good results in Eagle Sauce.
Sales reached 5,000 units.
And today, the third month of launch, monthly sales have exceeded 8000.
This also gives Great Wall Motor a place in Eagle Sauce's home car market.
This car is naturally also from Zhang Xueming's handwriting.
Eggs cannot be placed in one basket.
And there is competition between industries to be vibrant.
Monopolies only bring regression.
This is especially true for publicly owned enterprises.
Therefore, Zhang Xueming did not let the powerful First Automobile Manufacturing Company produce and sell this car.
Instead, another brand company was formed.
In the future, Great Wall Motor will also focus more on the production of large cars and off-road vehicles.
It is precisely because of the gradual improvement of the industrial chain.
In addition to the two brands FAW and Great Wall.
Many private capital has also begun to enter the field of automobile manufacturing.
At present, 5 new automobile brands have been added in Huaxia.
It showed quite a bit of energy.
Although this automotive industry is just getting started.
But in this field, it is not too far behind.
The next step is to pass through time to settle.
As for car culture and the like, he is not required to practice.
Just leave it to the market and time.
Compared to the automotive field,
The results in the field of aviation are also quite good.
At present, the total sales of C100 large long-range airliners have exceeded the scale of 500 aircraft.
The up-and-coming C110 short- and medium-haul passenger aircraft came later.
In just a few months, sales have reached the scale of 1,200 aircraft.
Among them, Eagle Sauce's local aviation companies alone have purchased more than 500 aircraft.
This has also made the air transport industry and passenger transport industry of Eagle Sauce develop rapidly.
The local development of Huaxia is not slow.
More than 300 passenger aircraft have been put into operation in the civil aviation market.
Among them, the strongest is Northern Airlines.
Then there's Northwest Airlines.
November 2nd.
Zhang Xueming came to the Tongzhou military aircraft test flight base in Beiping.
This day coincided with the final test flight of the new C-124 transport aircraft.
After checking in to this post-World War II transport aircraft.
Due to the new WJ-30 Yangtze River engine.
Huaxia Aviation Industry Group has remodeled this strategic transport aircraft.
After replacing the powertrain, some problems were encountered during the test flight.
So a series of optimizations have been made.
The main thing is the blowing tunnel.
So compared to the prototype, its body is smoother and larger.
In addition, the nose radar developed by the Research Institute of Radar and Electronic Equipment is also installed.
Replaced with a 4 turbospine engine with more thrust.
Performance is more powerful than the original C-124.
The maximum take-off weight broke through the 100-ton mark, reaching 108 tons.
The cargo carrying capacity also reached 42 tons.
It is about 10 tons higher than the original.
Under the premise that the range did not fluctuate much, the speed was increased to a certain extent.
The original maximum speed of 489 kilometers per hour has been increased to 560 kilometers per hour.
It is precisely because of its greatly increased carrying capacity.
The airframe has also been widened.
It gives it the ability to load T-54 tanks.
The combat weight of the T-54 tank is less than 40 tons.
With the new C124 slightly transporter, it is fully capable of transportation.
After the replacement of the turbo engine.
It also gives it the ability to transport all the heavy equipment of the current Northeast Army.
In the test flight base, Zhang Xueming also saw this large strategic transport aircraft.
Sure enough, there are still some differences from the original.
Even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel its enormity.
In 33 years, the maximum take-off weight of Huaxia's strategic transport aircraft exceeded 100 tons, and the carrying capacity exceeded 40 tons.
And now the Western powers do not even have a decent transport aircraft.
Only Eagle sauce is a little better.
Boeing's airliner has come out.
However, under the squeeze of the C110 passenger aircraft, survival is also very worrying.
This era is destined to belong to the era of China.
"Take off!"
Four 3800 kW WJ-30 Yangtze engines began to roar.
The propeller rotated at high speed and made a loud roar.
After the test pilot released the brakes, the behemoth began to glide down the runway.
After 800 meters, the nose was raised.
Successfully took to the skies.
Then came the completion of more than a dozen projects to finalize test flights.
It was not until the afternoon that the first phase of the test flight was completed.
Seeing that the aviation industry has grown from scratch to this point.
Zhang Xueming's mood is still very surging and proud.
"Commander, the design work for our new transport aircraft project has also been completed, and the manufacture of prototypes is underway."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Tianming of the Northeast Aviation Aircraft Research Institute found Zhang Xueming.
The main projects of the current institute were reported.
Zhang Xueming was also interested.
The transport project he talked about, he knew.
The C-124 is a long-range strategic transport aircraft with a large payload.
The requirements for take-off and landing at airports are high.
But not just a rammed earth hard dirt runway can meet the takeoff and landing.
Instead, a high-standard concrete runway is required.
So the Air Force needed a tactical transport aircraft that could take off on dirt runways.
It can also be used to replace the current C47 and C54 transporters. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
After all, both transport aircraft were converted from passenger aircraft.
Not a professional transport aircraft.
Just getting people and cargo up and down the side hatch is very inconvenient.
So the Air Force also put forward some requirements for this tactical transport aircraft.
The design indicators on the side of the Aviation Aircraft Research Institute are also very satisfactory to the Air Force.
This is mainly due to a major breakthrough in new jet engine technology.
Only now there is a huge progress in the aviation industry.
The problem of the engine is solved, in fact, many problems can be solved.
Just like this transport aircraft.
In many indicators, it can even be compared with the early C130 transport aircraft.
It is expected to be equipped with four new turbospine engines.
The load is about 15 tons and the range is 3,000 kilometers.
In addition to the project of this transport aircraft.
Zhang Xueming also inspected their other projects.
The current Northeast Aviation Aircraft Research Institute can be said to be strong.
There are no shortage of projects.
Compared to jet fighters, jet bombers, jet transport aircraft, maritime anti-submarine aircraft, jet high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, aerial tankers, air early warning aircraft, etc.
This can be seen from the names of these projects.
These studies are very avant-garde.
And most of these projects have made substantial breakthroughs.
Like jet fighters.
The relevant research and development work began more than a year ago.
The relevant design drawings have been completed.
Now they are waiting for the turbojet engine of the Jet Propulsion Research Institute to be in place.
For the course of that turbojet engine.
Zhang Xueming has also been paying attention.
After all, this thing is the key to opening the Chinese jet era.
It has the core engine of the Jumo-004 jet engine.
But it saves a lot of effort.
In January, the engine was put into ground testing.
Now it's pretty much the same.
It is expected that by the beginning of the year, Huaxia's new generation of jet fighters will begin test flights.
Mass production will definitely be possible before 35 years.
Now the Jet Propulsion Institute is also blooming.
Turboslurry and turbojet engines have made major breakthroughs.
Now it's just a turboshaft engine.
As for turbofan engines.
Don't think about it in a short time.
There are too many differences in terms of materials.
It certainly won't take ten years or eight years.
Historically, turbofan engines began to be practical only after the 60s.
Although now some of their technology is close to the level of the 50s.
But the 50s and 60s were a decade apart.
It's not that easy to leapfrog over.
Being able to achieve today's achievements, Zhang Xueming is already very satisfied.
"Successful sign-in, congratulations on obtaining the full set of design drawings for the long-jawed whiskerfish-class submarine."
When the time came on December 1, 19341.
The new day's check-in gave Zhang Xueming another surprise.
Submarine?
This is also the second new submarine he has signed in in in the past two years.
And judging by the name, it is known that this must be a submarine of Eagle Sauce, and it must have been designed for post-war research.
After seeing the introduction of this submarine.
Sure enough, it didn't disappoint him, which was indeed a huge surprise.
This submarine is no exception.
It is the last generation of conventionally powered submarines in Eagle Sauce.
In terms of shape design, it adopts the teardrop-shaped linear design of the big mackerel-class experimental submarine.
This is also the prototype of the design of modern submarines.
After all, it is post-war technology.
There are also the various results of this big mackerel experiment.
So the performance of this submarine is very good.
In this era, this submarine is definitely a proper black technology.
Even the Type 21 submarine can only be eclipsed in front of it.
In addition, there are various electronic technology equipment used in this submarine.
Tubes that are no longer highly reliable are used.
It's a new type of transistor.
If you can understand these techniques.
For Huaxia's electronic technology, it is also a major breakthrough.
It can greatly accelerate the development of electronic technology.
So don't look at the reward, it's just a drawing of a submarine.
The technology contained in it is also of great help to Huaxia.
Not to mention the performance aspect.
With an underwater displacement of 2894, it is a diesel-electric propelled silent submarine.
Surface speed 15 knots, underwater speed 21 knots.
Six 533-mm torpedo tubes were armed.
The key is that technical drawings of the supporting MK48 wire guided torpedo were also provided.
This is also a huge improvement in Huaxia's torpedo guidance technology.
Once this submarine is commissioned.
Both for the surface fleets of the great powers and for underwater submarines.
The advantages are enormous.
The mute ability of this thing is not detectable by the sonar of the great powers now.
For them, it can be called an oceanic black hole.
It is even possible to dispatch surface ships.
are able to inflict heavy damage on the fleets of other countries.
For example, the combined fleet of the Yin Kingdom.
The anti-submarine capabilities of the Little Devil fleet are notoriously weak.
Although, after suffering losses, they have begun to vigorously develop anti-submarine technology.
However, the performance of this long-jawed whisker-class submarine is not an ordinary improvement compared to the Type 21 submarine.
After the submarine entered service.
Zhang Xueming can also consider decommissioning the Type 21 submarine.
At present, the Navy is equipped with more than 150 Type 21 submarines.
That's a staggering amount.
As for where to go after decommissioning, it is definitely to find a buyer for them.
Is there a more suitable buyer than the German Navy?
As for whether it will change the course of World War II.
In fact, there is no need to worry at all.
Type 21 submarines are advanced though.
But it does not have the ability to change the tide of battle.
It can only leave more blood and more losses for the Allies.
In terms of the shipbuilding capabilities of Eagle Sauce.
It is possible to keep up with the losses.
Can't make Eagle Sauce too comfortable.
You have to put a little more blood on it.
This is also his strategic goal.
While winning World War II, weaken the Allies as much as possible, especially Eagle Sauce.
The location of Eagle Sauce is simply superior.
There are two natural barriers: the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.
There are no countries around them that can threaten them.
And Huaxia does not have the ability to land in Yingyang across tens of thousands of kilometers.
So it is only possible to bleed eagle sauce through Germany.
After returning home.
Looking at Lin Su's busy figure.
Zhang Xueming's heart moved.
"Lin Su, let my uncle and aunt come to my house tomorrow.
I also called my eldest brother and sister-in-law up, and everyone gathered. "
After hearing this, Lin Su was shocked.
What this meant, she still didn't understand.
After getting along in the past two years, Zhang Xueming still likes her very much.
I am also used to her presence in life.
So it's time to give her a name.
