Recently, there has been a saying circulating on the Internet:
The products produced by Hebei's Juli Rigging (a private listed company) were actually used on aircraft carriers by Lao Mei "unconsciously".
Juli Rigging is currently the top rigging manufacturing enterprise in China.
The company is better known as its group's chief executive, Yang Zi.
That's right, it is the husband of actor Huang Shengyi, the Yang Zi who is known as the "** rich" in the circle.
Juli Group is a family business, and its main business is run by Yang Zi's two older brothers and other family members.
Yang Zi spoke at the celebration reception for the listing of Juli rigging.
According to the Internet, Juli rigging has been sold overseas in large quantities, mainly to the United States.
But the state and Juli rigging didn't know what the Americans were doing with these rigging at first, and it wasn't until our aircraft carrier needed to stop the rope that Juli found that its products met the standard requirements ......
You must know that this blocking cable is on the aircraft carrier to stop carrier-based aircraft that are landing at high speed, and is known as the "lifeline" of carrier-based aircraft.
In December 2016, a Russian Su-33 fighter jet fell into the sea while landing on the aircraft carrier Kuznetsov, and broke out of deck because the blocking cable broke.
The arresting cable can be said to be one of the most critical facilities for aircraft carriers to exert their strike capabilities, and it is very difficult to develop them.
It is said that the Americans have been engaged in it for more than ten years.
According to the Internet, such a high-tech thing was easily conquered by us.
Juli Rigging is a private enterprise mainly engaged in heavy equipment and high-strength rigging.
It's a very exciting story.
But is that really the case?
The example of Juli rigging is just one part of the so-called "industrial survey" story that has been circulating more widely on the Internet recently.
According to netizens, many key technologies in the industrial field have long been broken through by some domestic private enterprises, but "I don't know it".
In the past, I always thought that we were "stuck in the neck", and the strength of science and technology and industry was not as good as others, but through a so-called "industrial survey", it was found that the breathlessness was not because of the neck, but because of "wearing the sweater backwards".
There is even such an exaggerated statement that "in a big industrial survey, the great powers are actually myself".
Such ** is very popular.
The story caused by this "industrial exploration" is spreading more and more, and there are more and more protagonists in the story.
For example, it is also widely rumored that Guangwei (a private enterprise in Weihai, Shandong), which makes fishing rods, has made carbon fiber for fighter jets.
The so-called Guangwei fishing rod has two customers, one is the Chinese Air Force, and the other is the fishing guy "Air Force".
It is rumored that this fishing tackle company in Shandong is mainly engaged in the research and development and production of fishing rods, and in the process of pursuing extreme lightweight and extreme high strength, it has developed a military-grade carbon fiber composite material - T300 carbon fiber.
That's amazing!
Because carbon fiber is an indispensable high-tech material for the manufacture of advanced fighters, and it has been monopolized by foreign companies.
Therefore, there is a saying that the carbon fiber materials used in China's main fighters now come from this fishing rod company.
Shandong Weihai Guangwei, which makes fishing rods, has developed a carbon fiber material The picture shows the Guangwei Group building.
It is said that there is also a private enterprise called "Guangqi Technology" that is also very good, and it has developed a stealth coating for car paint.
You must know that the fifth-generation stealth fighter F-22 of the United States mainly relies on a special stealth coating to stand out, this material is not only technologically advanced, but also has an excellent stealth effect.
Unexpectedly, this "black technology" that plagued the military all over the world was broken by a private enterprise in Shenzhen that makes automotive coatings.
There is a saying on the Internet that Guangqi Company originally wanted to coat the car so that the radar could not detect or it was difficult to lock the car for speeding, but it did not expect that after this technology was known by the military, it was finally applied to the stealth function of active fighters.
Kuang-Chi Technology's metamaterial technology samples participated in the Zhuhai Air Show.
What's more, this stealth coating is not only more advanced in technology than the U.S. military, but also far lower than the U.S. military's procurement price, so it makes the U.S. side "tremble".
There is a rumor that it is also related to the domestic express delivery giant SF, saying that SF Express has developed a drone called "Twin-tailed Scorpion" in order to improve its distribution capacity.
Unexpectedly, the original drone was just to make logistics and distribution more efficient and convenient, but because of its flexibility, concealment and adaptability, it was finally developed into an advanced "drone with an integrated survey" by the military.
SF Ministry's civilian version of the "Twin-tailed Scorpion" drone.
Some people even said vividly that this "twin-tailed scorpion" drone also appeared on the battlefield of Russia and Ukraine and made great "combat achievements".
In addition to the drones flying in the sky, there are also "unmanned boats" running on the sea, which is said to be a private enterprise in Guangdong that originally produced remote-controlled toys, and "by the way" developed an "unmanned military speedboat" in the process of operation, which has become another maritime weapon of the military with its flexible and mobile high performance.
There are many such rumors, but the core content of the story is: You see, our private enterprises are bullish, and even serious military state-owned enterprises are not as creative as private enterprises.
So, are these rumors true?
It can only be said that, judging from the objective facts, these statements are not true.
Let's do an analysis first.
Let's first talk about the story of the "aircraft carrier blocking cable" related to Juli rigging.
The so-called "aircraft carrier arresting cable" refers to the super-strong steel cable used to prevent the carrier-based aircraft from rushing out of the runway when landing.
This seemingly simple device is actually very high-tech.
First of all, it needs to withstand the huge impact force of the carrier-based aircraft when it lands on the ship, which requires it to have extremely high strength and toughness.
The seemingly simple "aircraft carrier blocking cable" actually contains a lot of technology.
Not only that, the "aircraft carrier arresting cable" also needs to have the characteristics of quickly recovering its shape in a very short time to ensure that the carrier-based aircraft can complete the landing quickly and safely, that is, the hardness, toughness and elasticity are good.
Therefore, it is said that it took the Americans more than ten years to develop the required "aircraft carrier arresting cable".
The Juli rigging can be related to the "aircraft carrier arresting cable" because there is a very simple and low-key description on its official website, introducing that it undertakes the research of high-strength wire rope, a major national science and technology project.
Not to mention whether Juli undertook the research and development of the military's "aircraft carrier arresting cable", the so-called "export products to the United States, no one knows that the purpose of the products is to make the 'aircraft carrier arresting cable'" mentioned earlier is an extremely unprofessional and naïve idea.
In fact, China's aircraft carrier manufacturing has accumulated decades of global aircraft carrier R&D and manufacturing technology data.
First of all, China does not need anything to carry out aircraft carrier research and development, and then what to look for.
If you think about the decoration of your own house, do you start to design it half a year or even a year or two before the delivery?
Not to mention such a large project as an aircraft carrier, the technical reserves are calculated in more than ten years or even decades.
It can be said that before the first aircraft carrier was built, we thoroughly understood the technical standards of aircraft carriers all over the world.
Moreover, the key technologies have been pre-researched early.
Perhaps some of the products of Juli rigging do meet the standards for the use of arresting cables on US aircraft carriers, but these industrial product data with technical content, whether it is an export declaration or an industry management agency, have been clearly grasped by the relevant departments of our country in advance.
It is completely impossible to say that Juli rigging is used on US aircraft carriers and is not known to the relevant departments of our country.
If Juli Rigging's products are really applied to American aircraft carriers, it will only happen once, and there will never be a follow-up.
Otherwise, we would underestimate our intelligence capabilities.
Let's talk about the t300 grade carbon fiber of the fishing rod company in Shandong, and the related technology is monopolized by foreign countries, which are all true.
But what many people don't know is that its breakthrough actually solves the mass production problem of T300 carbon fiber.
However, in terms of product performance, there is still a big gap between this technology and countries such as the United States and Japan.
As far as T300 grade carbon fiber is concerned, this is only a product of Japanese manufacturers 30 years ago.
In fact, China's major scientific research institutions have already developed T300 carbon fiber, and on this basis, they have successively completed the research and development and quantitative production of T800 and T1000 carbon fiber, and there is far more than one enterprise in R & D and production, which makes China's carbon fiber technology enter the international advanced ranks.
Let's talk about SF Express's "twin-tailed scorpion" drone, this model is really powerful.
Just look at the stats: three turbine engines, 12 hardpoints, and a maximum take-off weight of 28 tons, the maximum cruising speed is 260 km, and the payload weight of the mission reaches 12 tons, full load range up to 8000 kilometers, the actual ceiling of 9500 meters, the longest stay time in the air is 35 hours.
But the problem is that SF Express is an express delivery company, and it does not have the R&D and production capacity of drones at all, and the real research and development is Tengdun Technology, a private enterprise in Sichuan.
Someone may want to say, this is no problem, isn't Tengdun Technology also a private enterprise?
That's right, Tengdun Technology is indeed a private enterprise, but it is actually a military-civilian integration enterprise (I can only say so much).
Therefore, this "twin-tailed scorpion" UAV is actually divided into civilian and military versions, and the reason why it is hyped as "SF makes military drones" is because the military version of this UAV has made a high-profile appearance at the 14th ASEAN Expo, carrying a variety of low-altitude bombs and precision-guided bombs, and its combat effectiveness is no less than that of a fighter.
Military version of the "Twin-tailed Scorpion" UAV.
The military version was developed on the basis of the civilian TB-001 "Twin-tailed Scorpion" drone, that is, the civilian version customized by SF, but it was falsely rumored and turned into a cool article of "SF drone that delivers express delivery incarnates a drone killer".
There is also a toy factory in Guangdong that has built an "unmanned military speedboat", which is qualified to produce and operate remote-controlled toys, but it is also a military-civilian integration enterprise.
Similarly, Shenzhen Guangqi Technology is not a private enterprise that only makes automotive coatings, but has a new scientific research institution in the field of metamaterials in China, which is also the supporting unit of the State Key Laboratory of Metamaterial Electromagnetic Modulation Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology......
I am not saying this to pour cold water on the industrial level of China's private enterprises.
China's industrial manufacturing capacity, whether state-owned or private, has indeed made great strides in recent years, but the story behind it is not as simple as these circulating jokes suggest.
The outstanding performance of China's industrial manufacturing level is by no means how good a certain enterprise or factory is, but because in the past few decades, we have attached great importance to the development of industrial technology and invested a lot of resources and energy, so that we can be proud of today's achievements.
China's industrial system is gradually improving and becoming more comprehensive.
According to statistics, China has 39 major industrial categories, 191 medium categories, and 525 sub-categories, becoming the only country in the world with all industrial categories in the world.
In these industrial fields, there are a large number of "first-class champion" enterprises.
From aerospace industry equipment to screws on a certain machine, it is possible to find the best business in some private enterprises that are not well-known in China.
Even if you don't find a suitable one for a while due to the harsh demand, there will always be a surprisingly successful private enterprise that will rise to the challenge and surprise people.
All the legends about the strong industrial strength of China's private enterprises are actually from the accumulation of private enterprises in various fields.
Aircraft carrier blocking cable", "paint", "carbon fiber" ...Although the stories of these private enterprises are exaggerated, there are also facts, which reflect the continuous research and development technology of these enterprises for many years, which is admirable.
The enthusiasm of netizens also reflects a kind of expectation.
Because many people know that when the United States is faced with war, the huge production capacity of enterprises directly affects the direction of the war.
However, the progress of industrial technology is not cool, what is needed is long-term work.
We don't want war, but we don't hope for an illusory peace, and only with a strong industry can we have the real strength to protect our territory.
