The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 253 Full Firepower
This was a closed-door meeting. Whatever was said in the meeting, once a final resolution is reached, all the contents will not be made public and may remain confidential for a long time.

Liu Hua followed Mr. Ma into the conference room. Before he sat down, someone came to greet him: "Liu Hua, are you here to attend the meeting today? I remember that you are researching steelmaking equipment. Why are you here to attend this high-level meeting of the aviation department?"

Liu Hua looked at this person who seemed familiar to him and began to wonder in his heart. He seemed not to know this person. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this was the student who sat behind a senior when his grandfather took him to the party.

Liu Hua remembered that he had given them advice on how to process propellers and nozzles.

"I remember now." He smiled and said, "I was just a primary school student behind the teacher back then, inconspicuous. It's no wonder you don't remember me. You were very impressive back then. You were so young, but you could come up with such a good idea to use the lost wax method for casting. We are still using this process until now, so it's hard for me not to remember you."

Liu Hua said awkwardly: "I seem to have seen you before, but I can't remember your name."

"That's normal. My name is Wang Shunhe, which is only one character different from stinky tofu. It's very memorable if you remember it this way." Wang Shunhe said with a smile, "You haven't told me yet, why are you here to attend this meeting today? This is a seminar on the Y-10 aircraft, which has nothing to do with your steel plant, right?"

"I've been out of the steel mill for several years. I was transferred to the Science Department and now I'm a teacher of semiconductors at Huaqing University." Liu Hua smiled and said, "Tonight I'm still the avionics designer of our Yunshi aircraft."

Wang Shunhe asked in confusion: "Isn't your major steelmaking and machinery? Why did you choose semiconductors?"

Liu Hua smiled and said, "It was a coincidence. I originally just did it as a hobby, but I didn't expect to achieve some success in the semiconductor field."

"Great! I knew you were capable back then, but I didn't expect you to be this capable." Wang Shunhe said enviously, "You came here with Mr. Ma today, so you better be careful. Many people are ready to attack Mr. Ma today. You also know that the original intention of the Y-10 was not very good, and many people are holding their breath to ruin it."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fully prepared. I'll go all out later and make sure to leave these people speechless."

At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Ma sat in the C position. This position is not easy to sit in today, as it will be the center of everyone's attention later. Liu Hua did not sit next to Mr. Ma. Sitting around him were a group of respected old experts, and Liu Hua was not qualified enough.

When the meeting officially started and the leader asked everyone to express their opinions, many people became restless.

"Mr. Ma, I'm not against you, I'm against this project." A gray-haired expert next to Mr. Ma said, "You know, this project was proposed by a small group of people with ulterior motives, so it was a mistake from the beginning."

Mr. Ma said slowly: "How could it be a mistake? The Y-10 aircraft has really enhanced the strength of my country's civil aviation. You have to analyze the specific problems in detail." "I know, but at this stage we are reflecting on past mistakes. We should just let the wrong projects disappear into thin air, and we can start other projects."

Liu Hua raised his hand, and the old expert nodded with interest: "Young comrade, what do you want to say?"

"Old sir, you are opposing just for the sake of opposing. What is the difference between you and that small group of people?" Liu Hua asked with a smile, "It's just like the Grand Canal. We opposed Emperor Yang of Sui because he was tyrannical and self-willed. But we don't oppose the Grand Canal because it has indeed strengthened the communication between the north and the south. Just like Mr. Ma just said, you have to analyze specific issues specifically. You have to correct the mistakes and strengthen the ones that are not wrong."

The opposition just now is actually the lowest level, just for the sake of opposing, but because they are in this period, they have a certain say.

Liu Hua's words hit the nail on the head, leaving the old man speechless. History has given the final verdict on the Grand Canal, and it is beyond doubt.

Mr. Ma nodded at Liu Hua. His speech was very sharp and reasonable, and it saved the day for the Y-10 project.

At this time, the leader also said: "We are discussing the Y-10 project today, so let's not talk about other things. We can discuss from the technical perspective, economic perspective, etc. Is it necessary to continue the Y-10 aircraft?"

Mr. Ma took the microphone and said, "First of all, I want to tell you a good news. In the past month, our Y-10 aircraft has conducted more than a dozen test flights. Even before we came, the Y-10 aircraft had flown from Shanghai to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and then returned without refueling. All the performances were very good. We have solved almost all the problems. The dawn of victory is just around the corner. Why should we give up at this time?"

The Magic City Design Institute did a very good job of keeping secrets. A large number of people here only knew that the large aircraft failed more than a year ago and that there were still many problems. However, they often did not expect that more than a year later, these problems were all solved. The speed was a bit beyond their imagination.

At this time, someone stood up and said, "Our country's civil aviation has just started, and you want to support a huge plan to research our own large aircraft. We don't even know how big our national office is. Will we be unable to make ends meet in the future if we keep using our own large aircraft? In the future, we will vigorously develop the economy. From an economic perspective, can a market that is unable to make ends meet support a large aircraft project?"

Mr. Ma was about to answer when Liu Hua raised his hand and stood up again: "I don't know the name of this gentleman? But I know you don't look at things from a development perspective."

"my country's civil aviation industry is indeed just getting started. There are only a few people in the country who can afford to fly. But if we extend the time, how many people will be able to afford to fly in 20 years?"

Liu Hua picked up a piece of paper and said, "This is the data I got from the national aviation department a few days ago. Seven years ago, there were only 1.4 million people taking flights in the country. Last year, the number had reached 4.5 million, a three-fold increase in seven years. In the future, our development speed will be even faster. Can you estimate how big the market will be in the future?"
