The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 187, Azure (Subscribe)

After one month and twenty-five days, the two major projects of aerodynamic design and control law verification in the simulation software project were finally completed.

Since the end of June this year, Wang Duoyu has held meetings with Fan Honggeng, Jiang Boju and others, emphasizing the path to commercialization of simulation software projects.

Now that Fan Honggeng has brought this good news, commercialization can officially begin.

But before commercialization, the issue of product pricing and charging is put before everyone.

Of course, Fan Honggeng had already asked Wang Duoyu about this question before, how to charge, but the latter said that they would talk about it later.

"Well, regarding the issue of charging and selling, it's very simple. We offer it directly for a single annual lease price, and customers can use whatever modules they need."

After hearing what Wang Duoyu said, Fan Honggeng was a little confused. Why use such a charging standard?
Because the current market leader CHAM adopts a modular charging model, each module or solver has independent pricing.

Fan Honggeng and others don’t quite understand Wang Duoyu’s annual rental charging model. Why doesn’t he follow the charging model of the market leader?
Seeing that the other party was puzzled, Wang Duoyu did not explain anything, but just said that it was right to follow this standard.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Simulation software is a newly developed software, and this is also an emerging market. CHAM's modular charging model has been implemented for several years, and the market has verified that it is not very effective.

why?

The reason is simple: it is difficult for customers to determine in advance which modules they need, especially when considering investing in new technologies.

If Harbin Institute of Technology's simulation software could offer this kind of "all-inclusive" charging model, customers would definitely be more interested.

After all, the requirements for many modules and solvers in the development of this new technology cannot be determined in advance, but the project development time can be roughly predicted.

"Okay, Professor Wang, then we will charge according to this charging model. Regarding marketing..."

After Fan Honggeng's report, Wang Duoyu felt that there was no big problem, so he let them get busy on their own.

However, they will definitely encounter other problems in the future, such as the on-site team operation model mentioned by Wang Duoyu before.

The simulation software project still needs to be developed, so Harbin Institute of Technology will definitely need to retain people on campus, and a lot of scientific researchers will be needed.

This also means that there will not be many staff going to the site to provide technical support.

In other words, we still need to continue recruiting people, otherwise it will not be enough.

No matter how they distribute it, Wang Duoyu has already given a specific solution. How to proceed in detail is their own business. Wang Duoyu only looks at the results.

Of course, if you encounter any major problems that are difficult to solve during this period, Wang Duoyu will definitely help solve them.

However, I never expected that I would encounter problems right from the start.

Marketing has become a bigger problem.

After Wang Duoyu learned the news, he immediately decided to go to the United States and directly invite people to attend the internal seminar on simulation software.

"Professor Wang, how about you come and join us?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Honggeng and others became a little timid.

Because that is the United States, the most developed country in the world. Without Wang Duoyu in charge, they really wouldn't dare to do it.

"What are you afraid of? Just go there directly. Just treat it as a seminar at school." Wang Duoyu said with a bit of disappointment:

"What are your conditions like in the lab at school? When you get there, it will be the same as before."

"Professor Shang and his colleagues are also in the United States. They will definitely help you when the time comes."

In the initial stage of product marketing, it is actually the most difficult task to complete because it is really too difficult.

Wang Duoyu certainly knew this very well, but he couldn't leave Harbin Institute of Technology now, not only because of the incident in the Mohe primeval forest before, but also because October was approaching and it was no longer suitable for him to leave Harbin Institute of Technology.

"Once you arrive in the US, go find clients like CHAM, Fluid Analysis Commercial Software Package Company, and related aircraft R&D laboratories and aircraft manufacturers. In short, you will definitely be able to create miracles. I believe in you."

Upon hearing this, Fan Honggeng and others had no such confidence at all.

What a joke! Not only did they go to the United States, but they also went to look for their competitors’ clients. Isn’t that poaching?

However, direct competition is inevitable. Moreover, as an outsider, if you don’t seize the time to open up the situation, it will be more difficult to do things later.

If you can't even do this when opening a business, don't even think about anything else.

No wonder Wang Duoyu had told Fan Honggeng, Wu Zhiming, Liu Qigang and others about transferring to administrative positions. He had probably thought of this at the time.

Now that we have figured out how to market our product, it’s time to get down to work.

This time, in order to successfully open up the situation, Fan Honggeng personally led the team and invited Jiang Boju and others, as well as Boyisang, Bill Els, Jim Swithenbank and others who had just been recruited a few months ago.

Because people like Jim Swithenbank are Americans, if they also go to the United States, they will definitely be able to gain advantages during marketing.

In order to make people remember this emerging simulation software better, Harbin Institute of Technology gave it a more pleasant name, simply called Fluent.

Similarly, in order to make foreigners more willing to choose this software, the company name was changed to Huayun Company, and the English name is Azure Inc.
As for the charging standard of Fluent, a computational fluid dynamics simulation software, the total price is US$59.

In other words, as long as customers purchase this software, they must pay US$99,999 every year.

The price seems outrageous, but it is actually very cost-effective.

Because Huayun Company's R&D costs are very high, its technical R&D team is very strong, and for the aerodynamic design project, it has developed many software. For many aircraft design laboratories or aircraft manufacturers, it can definitely save a lot of time and money.

After everything was settled, Fan Honggeng and others left Harbin Institute of Technology with their technology and equipment and headed to the United States across the Pacific Ocean.

Five days later, on August 26, 1981, an internal seminar was about to begin in the conference hall of a star-rated hotel in Los Angeles, USA.

There were quite a few people attending the seminar this time, with a total of more than 160 people. Many people from related units came, such as the famous Ames Research Center.

The Ames Research Center, located in Silicon Valley, is a research institute under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

No one knows why Bran Marquez, an aircraft designer from the Ames Research Center, happened to be pulled in by the staff distributing flyers.

But it doesn’t matter. Since you are here, just listen to it and then leave.

Then, Bran Marquez was shocked.

Because in this internal seminar, Fan Honggeng and others directly demonstrated more than ten solvers, modules and other related software, such as geometry engines, meshers, post-processors, tetrahedral mesh generators, etc.

All of these software can be packaged directly for the price of $59 and used for a whole year.

Taking a project like aerodynamic design as an example, no matter what kind of aircraft is being developed, this fluent software can solve all problems and provide simulation data that is similar to experimental data, which can be compared and verified.

If this kind of software is really as good as Jim Swithenbank and others say, then this software is really great.

After the seminar ended that day, more than 25 companies expressed their desire to give it a try.

Why give it a try?

The reason is very simple. In order to gain the trust of customers, Huayun Company proposed that customers could try using the software for one day.

After all, no matter how much you talk, if it doesn’t work, it’s all nonsense.

So, this method is the best and everyone can try it.

Silicon Valley, Ames Research Center, after Bran Marquez came back, he immediately talked about Azure's fluent software with his superior Vincent Hamilton.

"Vincent, I found a very useful software. It's much better than CHAM's software. Azure's computational fluid dynamics simulation software is charged on an annual basis and gives you full access to all of their software."

"Azure has developed a lot of software, such as geometry engines, meshers, non-meshing solvers, climbing solvers, post-processors, and so on."

"They have so many software programs, but they only charge $99,999 for a year. It's much more cost-effective than CHAM."

The Ames Research Center has long used CHAM's products. Although CHAM's products are good and can indeed save a lot of time and energy, the fees are very high.

For the Ames Research Center, no matter what aircraft design it is, it will definitely cost a lot of money, which is inevitable.

After all, all designed aircraft need to go through multiple procedures such as wind tunnel laboratories, which will inevitably consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

But since the emergence of CHAM, it has indeed reduced some of the R&D expenses of the Ames Research Center, but it is very limited.

If this Azure company can really do that well, it is worth a try.

Vincent Hamilton still believed in Bran Marquez's integrity, so after a brief understanding, he went to Azure to discuss the matter.

When they arrived at the place, Boyisang apologized and told them that they needed to wait a little longer.

This made Vincent Hamilton very angry. Since when did they have to queue up at the Ames Research Center?

That's what working with private companies is like; it's very difficult.

But this also shows that Azure is indeed capable, otherwise, so many companies would not choose this company.

At the same time, Huayun Company has begun to recruit a large number of technical personnel.

Because every company, such as an institute like the Ames Research Center, sends at least two technical support staff.

So far, more than ten units have placed orders after trying it.

This means that twenty on-site technical support personnel are needed. At the same time, a team of twenty people will be dispatched to the Los Angeles branch to provide support to the Ames Research Center and other units at any time.

Whether it is remote technical support or other help, a big boss needs to be in charge. Otherwise, once a problem occurs and cannot be solved in time, these customers will definitely leave next year.

Three days later, in the laboratory of the Ames Research Center, Vincent Hamilton couldn't wait to have people test the Fluent software as soon as it was installed.

"Everyone, our tetrahedral mesh generator and climbing solver are primarily targeted at high-Mach number compressible flows in the aerospace field. Azure mobilized hundreds of top scientists in fields such as mathematics and physics to develop these two pieces of software, and it took over half a year to complete them."

In the laboratory, Fan Honggeng spoke in a strong and confident voice.

Since coming to the United States, Fan Honggeng has been very busy and has no time to hesitate or think about other things.

With so much experience, he no longer has any inferiority complex towards the so-called Americans. He now treats them with a completely equal attitude, and even feels proud of them.

There was no way around it. When he was saying this, the scientific researchers below all had admiring looks and expressions on their faces.

At this time, Fan Honggeng admired Wang Duoyu even more.

If the latter had not taken the initiative to establish a simulation software project and pushed Fan Honggeng forward step by step, to be honest, he would still be stuck in Harbin Institute of Technology, similar to Zhou Sitong and others, just a project leader or programmer.

But now, he has switched to an administrative position. Although he is often responsible for giving technical presentations, he is no longer involved in research and development. Instead, he just needs to understand these technologies and then inform customers of them.

For example, now, when they are discussing technology with the aircraft researchers at the Ames Research Center, it is Fan Honggeng who is talking about how to solve the problems of the Ames Research Center, rather than how they cannot be solved or how he knows nothing about the problems.

"For the climbing solver, we at Azure will continue to develop new technologies, such as the architecture we are already working on, domain decomposition parallel capabilities, etc., which will be added in succession in the next six months."

"So, purchasing our Azure consulting services and software is absolutely worth the money."

Fan Honggeng continued to "fool" and almost fooled Vincent Hamilton, the person in charge.

Half a day later, Vincent Hamilton suddenly said angrily:

"Fuck, Cham, your Azure company showed up too late. If you had shown up earlier, we wouldn't have had to waste so much money."

The reason why he was so excited and angry was that CHAM consumed too much money from their project department.

At that time, CHAM was very cunning. Every new module or solver that was launched required new payment, and their pricing was not cheap.

However, their modules or solvers can only be used for one or two years at most, and then they must be purchased again because they will have newer versions at that time.

To sum up, CHAM's computational fluid dynamics software is really not that easy to use and is very expensive.

Azure only requires less than 100,000 yuan for year-round use. The most important thing is that they are sincere and will continue to innovate. The key is that as long as you renew your subscription, you don’t need to pay extra money to purchase new software services.

This is very critical and much better than CHAM.

In just half a month, Azure company went on a rampage in the United States. A total of 27 companies, research institutes, etc. approached Azure company, signed contracts, and paid an annual fee of 100,000 yuan.

Vincent Hamilton of the Ames Research Center offered to cover the cost for five years, but was turned down.

Because the price will not be the same next year. An annual fee of 100,000 yuan certainly cannot be that low.

why?

The reason is very simple. There are only two people in the on-site technical support team. Both of them must be technical personnel similar to Boyisang and his team. Their annual salary is around 20,000 US dollars, which means 40,000 US dollars for two people.

There is also a technical team in the Los Angeles branch who conducts research and development and is ready to provide support at any time. The employee salaries alone are not a small expense.

Not to mention that the head office in China is also continuing to conduct research and development, and these all require payment.

So, to be honest, an annual fee of $100,000 is really a great deal.

Vincent Hamilton was a cunning man who wanted to steal the chicken, but unfortunately he thought too much.

In Bingcheng, on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, in the meeting room of the simulation software project department of Huayun Company, Wang Duoyu sat in his seat and listened to Liu Qigang, who had returned from the United States, report on the situation there.

In just half a month, Azure signed contracts with 27 companies and earned nearly US$2.7 million in revenue.

This revenue may seem like a lot, but it's actually not that much.

You should know that when this simulation software project was established in March this year, the total investment was 30 million yuan.

Now we only get back $2.7 million in revenue.

So there is still a long way to go!
However, there are many companies in the United States, and they will definitely continue to contribute more revenue.

But now the issue is not revenue, but the countermeasures that CHAM will face.

How could CHAM possibly swallow its anger when a company suddenly emerged and snatched so many customers away from it?
"Don't overthink it. They won't dare to do anything. After all, CHAM is just an outsider to the United States."

Wang Duoyu comforted her with a few words and then never mentioned the matter again.

In fact, according to the historical trajectory of the original time and space, even if there was no Azure company, in a few years, other companies would come to compete with CHAM.

There will inevitably be competitors in the computational fluid dynamics market, and there will be more and more competitors.

Whoever is the best will win.

After all, Wang Duoyu is a time traveler, and he is very familiar with the situation of Fluent software. Even if he does not make any innovations, he can still do well by just copying the development trajectory of Fluent software.

What's more, Wang Duoyu has also made many innovations. Just the two major projects mentioned earlier, namely aerodynamic design and control law verification, have many technological innovations.

The climbing solver is a technology that only appeared in the 1990s in the original time and space, but in this time and space, Wang Duoyu has already made it available in advance.

The emergence of such software technology will be a qualitative leap for aircraft design and can solve many practical design problems.

"We need to rewrite Fluent software to adopt a more efficient finite volume formulation to accommodate a wider range of solvers." "In addition, our simulation software should be diversified and no longer limited to the aerospace field."

In the conference room, Wang Duoyu was talking while everyone was busy taking notes and thinking.

Computational fluid dynamics simulation software is of great significance to Harbin Institute of Technology. No matter what, we cannot give up this software project.

Other industries such as automobiles and ships can also use Fluent software, but there are not so many technicians now, so we must continue to recruit talents.

As soon as the meeting ended, Han Jue appeared at the door and said, "Professor Wang, someone is coming from Chengfei Manufacturing Plant."

Wang Duoyu nodded after hearing this, and was about to return to his office, but Han Jue continued:

"Professor Wang, the secretary of Chengfei Manufacturing Plant wants to see you."

"I won't go over. I just had an idea that I want to verify. Director Han, please tell them I'm sorry. I'm really busy here."

He really didn't have time and didn't want to meet these people. After all, he was already very busy!
Han Jue looked at his leaving back, opened his mouth, and finally turned and left in silence.

I don't know where Chengfei Manufacturing got the news from, but we asked them to come to Harbin Institute of Technology to attend a seminar on Fluent software, but they refused to go.

Logically speaking, Harbin Institute of Technology had previously given their Qianyuan Laboratory under Chengfei Manufacturing Plant a drone project, but they were so ungrateful.

In that case, forget it.

But it was only half a month, and they took the initiative to come to Harbin Institute of Technology. Just want to see Wang Duoyu?

Not to mention that Wang Duoyu is not free, even if he is free, he will not meet with the other party.

Computational fluid dynamics simulation software is absolutely essential for aircraft design. It can really save a lot of unnecessary wind tunnel experiments and greatly shorten the design time and cost of aircraft.

Twenty-seven institutions abroad have signed contracts and are willing to pay annual fees, but these domestic scientific research institutions are all finding fault with every little thing, which is really confusing.

In the office, Wang Duoyu looked at the singularity energy gradient theory he had completed, and he would begin to derive other new theories.

The strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, once solved, means that the flow state at any point in time can be accurately predicted from the initial state, which is something known to scientists all over the world.

But knowing this does not mean being able to create the appropriate mathematical tools or theoretical knowledge to support it.

Many studies have shown that in transitional and turbulent flows, the Navier-Stokes equations do not have a global smooth solution in three-dimensional space.

Through the analysis of singularity energy gradient theory and Poisson's equation, Wang Duoyu found that under certain conditions, singularities will appear in the equation at certain points in the flow field, resulting in the non-existence of the velocity derivative, thus eliminating the possibility of a smooth solution.

"Is there a tool or method that can control these singularities, similar to the Poincare conjecture, so that velocity derivatives can exist?"

Suddenly, Wang Duoyu thought of the problem-solving method he used in proving the Poincare conjecture.

You may be able to refer to one or two methods of solving the problem, but you cannot copy them exactly because they are not the same problem.

Therefore, if Wang Duoyu wants to solve the current problem, he must create a new mathematical tool to prove it, but this new mathematical tool is not that simple.

Otherwise, those top mathematicians in the past could have easily created a new mathematical tool to prove the strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equations.

"In pressure-driven planar flows, laminar flows undergo transitions under disturbance, forming singularities. This suggests that similar phenomena also exist in turbulent flows. The existence of these singularities means that the equations have no solutions at these points, leading to discontinuities and non-smoothness in the solution of the entire flow field."

He sat in the office for several hours until Wang Meili and her two sisters brought the little one to the office, and then he came back to reality.

His head hurt a little, probably from overusing his brain. Wang Duoyu did not force himself to continue working, but chose to put down his pen and picked up the little guy.

Wang Junhong was still very young and didn't understand anything. He just stared at his father with his eyes wide open.

His mother Zhu Ling had left Harbin Institute of Technology for quite some time. At first, he often cried, but over time, he gradually got used to it.

If it goes on for a few more months, I'm afraid the little guy won't even remember his mother.

"Brother, let's go home and eat."

The younger sister spoke, and Wang Duoyu smiled and nodded in response.

Both sisters knew that his office contained many confidential documents, so they could enter the office but would never step out of the reception area.

Just as Wang Duoyu and the others walked out of the office and were about to go downstairs, Han Jue appeared again.

"Professor Wang, the secretary of Chengfei Manufacturing has invited you again. You must attend the dinner tonight and give him a chance to apologize."

Upon hearing this, Wang Meili and her sister immediately prepared to take their nephew and leave, but Wang Duoyu continued to hold her son and said to Han Jue calmly:

"Director Han, just tell them that I'm very busy and working in the office. I believe they will understand. That's all."

Han Jue suddenly looked embarrassed, "Professor Wang, why don't you stop making things difficult for me."

The secretary of Chengfei Manufacturing Plant has invited Wang Duoyu twice. If Wang Duoyu doesn't agree again, it will be very troublesome.

Although Harbin Institute of Technology and Chengfei Manufacturing Plant are completely two different systems, Chengfei Manufacturing Plant is not a small unit. It is very good that the head of a unit can be so humble.

Killing someone is just a nod of the head. Even if Wang Duoyu was angry, he should have calmed down by now, right?
Wang Duoyu just smiled, carried his son over the other person, and went downstairs.

He didn't care what the other party thought. If the secretary of Chengfei Manufacturing was unhappy, so what? What did it have to do with him?

It's not that he is showing off, but the other party didn't give him face first. In that case, he should just reciprocate.

After the computational fluid dynamics simulation software is launched on the market, there will definitely be no shortage of customers. There is nothing for Wang Duoyu to be afraid of.

Chengfei Manufacturing Plant is awesome, but the secretary doesn't stay in this position forever. Besides, there's also the Liming Engine Manufacturing Plant, and the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, so Wang Duoyu doesn't need to bother with them at all.

In the future, Wang Duoyu may be involved in the design of aerospace vehicles, but definitely not now.

Even if he really designed the aircraft, he could directly hand it over to the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation to complete the manufacturing of the aircraft.

Han Jue was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Duoyu to be so stubborn and really unwilling to give others a chance.

Alas, what is this?

No matter what the matter is, this is the current situation, and the person who was slapped in the face is the secretary of Chengfei Manufacturing Plant.

Of course, the other party deserves it.

Teachers' dormitory building, Wang Duoyu's home, Zheng Baodong also came today.

"Xiaodong is here, come sit down, let's eat. Xiaodong, you guys have already started school, how do you feel about participating in military training?"

The gifted class has already started, but like freshmen, they all need to undergo military training.

Wang Duoyu didn’t know whether other universities required military training, but Harbin Institute of Technology did.

Starting last year, all freshmen are required to participate in military training.

Fortunately, the military training is only conducted in school, not in a military base outside the school, and it only lasts for two weeks, which is not long.

"Fortunately!"

Zheng Baodong doesn't talk much, and it's not known whose personality he resembles. Or perhaps it's because he knows Wang Duoyu's status and strength in Harbin Institute of Technology, so he gradually became reserved.

"Uncle, can I attend the seminar of the visiting scholar exchange group?"

After chatting for a while, Zheng Baodong suddenly interrupted and asked a question. Wang Duoyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded:

"If you're interested, you can attend. But you have to understand that the participants are all top experts in their respective fields of mathematics, at least undergraduates. Even though you're a member of the gifted class, many of the theories are still too advanced for you."

"At this stage, you should master the basics of calculus, advanced algebra, geometry, etc. Once you have a solid foundation, you can consider other areas."

However, Zheng Baodong refused to listen to the advice, because the reason he wanted to attend the seminar was that he heard that the seminar might be disbanded after October.

Because Wang Duoyu will hold a mathematics lecture in the auditorium of Harbin Institute of Technology in October, so many people are coming to Harbin Institute of Technology for visiting studies and exchanges.

Once the lecture is over, many people will leave.

For Zheng Baodong, a three-good student, he certainly does not want to give up such an opportunity for communication.

After Zheng Baodong finished speaking, Wang Duoyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This little guy is really guarding a treasure mountain without even realizing it.

Obviously, his ninth uncle is a world-renowned top mathematician. If he has any questions, can't he just ask his uncle for answers at any time?
Why do you have to run to find other people?
If people knew about his thoughts, he would definitely be scolded.

Wang Duoyu shook his head and did not point out Zheng Baodong’s little thoughts. Maybe the little guy was just embarrassed?

The more familiar you are with someone, the shyer you become.

The next day, Wang Duoyu gathered his six students together to answer their questions and also to check on their learning progress.

As a teacher, Wang Duoyu is not very responsible. After all, he does not monitor their learning progress every day. It all depends more on their own initiative.

In the afternoon, Wang Duoyu bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the hospital ward to visit Tian Maohua.

The latter was injured during a hunting trip in July. The wound was caused by gunfire from soldiers of the Dragon Elephant Mercenary Corps in the United States. The wound was quite serious, but fortunately he survived.

"Old Tian, ​​are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's okay. The doctor said I can be discharged in half a month. I've had enough of this damn place. It's so boring."

Tian Maohua, lying on the hospital bed, was in a good mood.

In fact, while recuperating in the hospital, he has never lacked nutritional supplements, and there are also TVs, game consoles, etc., so he will not be bored at all.

The only bad thing is that I have to stay in bed all the time, occasionally getting up and moving around a little, but not for too long because the wound has not healed yet.

It is definitely not a good idea to be inactive, because people still need to move around more. Otherwise, problems are likely to arise and recovery will be difficult.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu comforted the other party, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

After leaving the hospital, Wang Duoyu asked the security staff to help drive to a certain unit where he wanted to find Lin Dehong.

The latter was not at work but was out.

So Wang Duoyu could only write a few words to the other party and put the note on his desk to let him know that he had come to see him.

It was not until the third day that Lin Dehong came to find him, but Wang Duoyu asked him to pick him up. He had no intention of discussing this matter with him on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology.

Along the way, Wang Duoyu didn't talk about business, but just chatted.

It was not until they arrived at Lin Dehong's office that Wang Duoyu spoke:
"Leader, if I want to cause trouble for the US Security Agency, can you help me?"

At this stage, if Wang Duoyu wants to cause trouble for others, he can only do it offline. It is impossible to do it online.

Because the Internet was not yet developed, hacking methods were not very effective.

And even if hacking methods are used, if the other party directly cuts off the power physically, there will be no loss.

Unless Wang Duoyu directly attacks the other party's big Internet companies or something, otherwise, it will be of no use.

Lin Dehong heard this and shook his head:

"Duoyu, I told you last time, don't get involved in this matter."

Although Wang Duoyu understood, he still couldn't swallow this anger.

Because the other party has already caused him a bad influence, but he can't do anything about it, which makes him feel a little frustrated.

Forget it, just keep this account in mind for now and make up for it later.

After much thought, he decided that what he could do now was to improve the strength of Harbin Institute of Technology as much as possible and in all aspects.

Throughout the 1980s, or before the collapse of the Polar Bear Empire, the United States would not turn its attention to China. This was an extremely rare period of rapid development.

"Boss, next year, I will be involved in aircraft design, mainly fighter jets."

"Internationally, we mainly rely on imitation, and our aircraft manufacturing plants are not strong enough. So, starting next year, Harbin Institute of Technology will establish its own aircraft manufacturing plant, and we will start with the engine manufacturing plant."

"So, we at Harbin Institute of Technology will set up more companies in the future. I hope you can help us out and say something good."

When Lin Dehong heard this, his eyes lit up.

Why is he so excited?
Because this is a job that makes money. As the head of an organization, he often worries about money and has lost a lot of hair.

In fact, judging from this year's exports, our arsenal has developed rapidly.

Previously, Wang Duoyu gave Lin Dehong a suggestion, asking him to talk to his superior Lu Yangui about the proposal to sell "moldy weapons".

The Arsenal has indeed made a lot of money in the past few years.

Last year, on the other side of the Mesopotamian Plain, on the Persian Empire bordering our country, their new leader Khomeini came to power.

This caused temporary social chaos, so the Date Palm Empire on the other side of the Mesopotamian Plain took advantage of this opportunity and ordered its troops to attack the Persian Empire.

In September 1980, the Date Palm Empire Air Force launched a surprise attack on important cities and air force bases in Khuzestan Province of the Persian Empire. The fierce bombing caused heavy casualties among the military and civilians of the Persian Empire. The Persian Empire failed to respond in time and soon lost part of its territory.

Afterwards, the Date Palm Empire dispatched a large number of troops even more forcefully, and under the cover of more than 1,200 tanks, launched a massive attack on the Persian Empire.

However, the new regime of the Persian Empire, its adaptability and the combat effectiveness of the imperial army were still very strong.

So after the Persian Empire launched a strong counterattack, a war between the two sides began.

Under the large-scale bombing, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

During this period, gas tank bombs shipped from Hong Kong Island, China quickly became the main force on the battlefield.

Those "moldy" Type 56 guns have also become sharp weapons on the meat grinder battlefield.

After the improved Type 78 automatic rifle was officially approved in 1977 and 1978, domestic military factories began to replace weapons on a large scale.

After selling all the International brand firearms produced before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the military factory began to sell the whole family of five or six guns. These are the firearms and ammunition that the arsenal can currently sell.

Of course, the improved Type 78 automatic rifle was not sold because it was the firearm currently used by active troops.

This year, only more than eight months have passed, almost nine months, but the Arsenal has already earned 1.2 billion US dollars in revenue.

In other words, the arsenal has earned the same revenue as the entire year of last year in just nine months of this year from the sale of firearms and ammunition.

The arsenal has money now, and Lin Dehong’s unit should not be short of money. Why is he so excited?
