Genius of the Rules-Style System

Before the official announcement of the Zhucheng Air Show, there was no J-40 model in the domestic aviation field. Not to mention external public opinion, no one in the aviation field knew about the J-40.

However, there are still some "mysterious" news. For example, some foreign media broke the news that China is secretly developing high-tech weapons or a generator to create tornadoes.

The news became a hot topic abroad because the accompanying picture showed footage of a tornado captured in the mountains north of the capital.

The news also conducted a "conspiracy theory" analysis, saying that "M country has always experienced large tornado disasters in recent years, and it may be China's experiment."

Of course, similar news is not reliable if you think about it carefully. Tornadoes in country M have always existed in history. They are related to the country's geographical location, monsoons, etc., and are not a conspiracy at all.

It cannot be said that China already had weather controllers thousands of years ago.

However, the news has still become a hot topic. This may be related to the lack of scientific and historical knowledge of ordinary citizens of country M. There are actually many people who believe that the tornado disaster in their country is the product of China's experimental weather controller.

In addition, there are other "rumors" claiming that a suspected alien aircraft was photographed somewhere, and the picture shows a black dot in the distance.

Among them, there is a relatively clear picture. When you pull it in, you can see that it seems to be a fighter jet with a full sense of technology. However, because the distance is very far, the picture is very blurry and it is impossible to see clearly.

This news aroused not much public opinion, because most people believed that the picture was created by the publisher, who blurred the fighter jets from the science fiction movie and then posted it on the photo.

There are other reasons, probably alien aircraft. What people think of are UFOs and fighter jets with a sense of technology. It is difficult for people to take on the role of 'alien'.

No matter how much gossip there is, it is still just gossip, and most people simply don’t believe it.

Now the official suddenly announced a new fighter model, which is very surprising. Many people’s first reaction is——

The official information is wrong!

"It should not be J-40, but J-20! Now, the official copy will be criticized and wages will be deducted. We must sympathize with this staff member."

"This kind of mistake shouldn't happen! How can the news about the air show be wrong? The model of the fighter jet is wrong? Why don't you check it?"

"Small mistakes are no big deal, big mistakes must not happen."

Public opinion believed it was a 'typing error', and experts also came forward to analyze it.

An international military commentator took advantage of the popularity and stood up for an interview and said, "There is no way there is a J-40. The largest domestic model now is the 31, and it is still on the design drawings. The J-31 is considered to be the future of aviation, and the design The original intention was to target fifth-generation aircraft.”

"The J-20 is advanced, but in fact, the benchmark is the F-22, and there is a certain gap. The most important thing is that it is a heavy fighter and it is difficult to get on an aircraft carrier. The 31 is a medium-sized..."

"Jiliguala..."

Military experts have said a lot. The general meaning is that there is only J-31 in China, and there are no models exceeding 31 at all. There are not even relevant R\u0026D applications. The follow-up is to introduce the importance of building J-31.

There is also a lot of public opinion on the Internet.

Most people believe that the official information was wrong, rather than that the J-40 is really going to be on display. There is no J-40 at all.

When everything seemed to be finalized, the official took no action. First, they did not stand up to explain the content of the released news, whether it was a typo or real. Second, they did not modify the released content.

Gradually……

Public opinion changed.

Under normal understanding, if there is an error in the official news and it causes controversy in public opinion, it will definitely be corrected as soon as possible.

As a result, no!

Do the officials not care about public opinion? Or some other reason?

It's obviously impossible.

So someone asked, "Does the J-40 really exist? And will it appear at the Zhucheng Air Show?"

"Impossible, but it seems that this is the only explanation. Otherwise, why don't the officials change it?"

"If it's true, I'm really looking forward to it! What kind of fighter can directly mount the J-40?"

"Whether it's true or not, you must pay attention to the Zhucheng Air Show this time!"

The Zhucheng Air Show is approaching.

Thousands of media reporters and a large number of aviation-related people came to the vicinity of the air show.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of spectators also came to Zhucheng, making Zhucheng very crowded. When talking about the upcoming air show, there is always one topic that cannot be escaped -

J-40, is it real?

Everyone is looking forward to the J-40. They all want to know whether the J-40 really exists or is it just a joke?

…

The full name of Zhucheng Air Show is China International Aerospace Expo.

The exhibition is an international professional aerospace exhibition mainly characterized by physical display, trade negotiations, academic exchanges and flight performances.

Since the first time the Zhucheng Air Show was held, it has developed into a blue-sky event integrating trade, professionalism and appreciation, representing the mainstream of advanced technology in the international aerospace industry and demonstrating the development level of the world's aerospace industry. It has also become a blue-sky event. One of the five most internationally influential air shows in the world.

The air show is very meaningful.

One is to create huge commercial value. Every year at the air show, high-value orders can be signed on-site. At the last air show, cooperation agreements with a total value of more than 7 billion US dollars were signed, and a total of 97 aircraft of various types were sold. shelf.

At the same time, the air show will also welcome a large number of visitors. In a few days, the number of professional and ordinary visitors can easily exceed 100,000, and even reach more than 200,000.

In addition, it is the propaganda and deterrence value at the national level.

Because it is an air show held in China, the military will definitely participate. Every air show will have military fighter jets directly participating, and there will also be flight performances. One is to show the country's strength, and the other is to show the aviation industry. technological level, attracting relevant international orders.

no doubt.

The Zhucheng Air Show is a major event in the domestic aviation field, and relevant people must participate.

Zhao Yi also received the invitation.

What he received was not an invitation from the air show, but an invitation from senior leaders, because the air show was determined to display the War Eagle-1 (J-40). Zhao Yi is the chief designer of the War Eagle-1 and was directly involved in the development of the War Eagle-1. Improving the work, War Eagle-1 can be said to be Zhao Yi’s hard work.

This time at the air show in Zhucheng, the War Eagle-1 will be the highlight, and Zhao Yi will probably be able to see it with his own eyes.

Zhao Yi was not too impressed.

Although the War Eagle-1 is indeed his work, it cannot be said to be "hard work". He did not pay that much for the War Eagle-1. The War Eagle-1 can only be said to be a "work result" of his.

But it doesn’t matter if you look at it.

The Warhawk-1 is still very technological. I don’t know what the performance of the fighter’s devices and equipment is like, but in terms of hard data such as flight and load, it is definitely the most advanced in the world.

"It will definitely be better if it can be equipped with anti-gravity performance in the future. Then, it will really be the hard work..." Zhao Yi thought.

The anti-gravity performance on the War Eagle-1 seems a bit nondescript.

Zhao Yi's idea is to be equipped with technology that is one level above the international level and can crush any fighter jet. Unfortunately, it is not possible yet. The flight performance of the War Eagle-1 is definitely better than that of the F-35, but it has not reached a higher level. It can only be said that the level of fighter aircraft is more flexible, and the strength of a fighter aircraft depends on indicators such as flight capabilities and combat range, as well as electronics, weapons and other equipment.

This time Zhao Yi went to Zhucheng and brought his personal assistant Qian Hong with him.

Qian Hong has become a regular employee.

In the past, Qian Hong worked as an assistant and only took care of Zhao Yi's life. She basically didn't follow him when he went to other places on business trips. The confidentiality was the same for Qian Hong. She just knew a little more than others.

It's different now.

Zhao Yi publicly took Qian Hong to participate in the air show, and the flight was a military aircraft equipped for senior leaders. This is equivalent to confirming Qian Hong's status. In the future, some confidential content will be open to Qian Hong to a certain extent. .

Of course, it's not that Qian Hong needs to know anything or what kind of help she can bring, but because she is Zhao Yi's assistant and they are always together in daily life, she will definitely know what Zhao Yi does, so there is no need to deliberately avoid taboos.

Qian Hong is really good as an assistant. Needless to say, she has a doctorate in information science and knows a lot. In addition, she has taken care of Zhao Yi for a long time and has come into contact with all kinds of people. Ability is also constantly improving.

This time Zhao Yi had a new harvest.

It was his first time to fly on a military plane, and it felt very different to fly with senior leaders. He felt absolutely taller all of a sudden.

traveling.

Zhao Yi also chatted with senior leaders about the Zhucheng exhibition, and the topic was still around the War Eagle-1.

"Why do you want to display it? Don't you need to keep it secret?"

Zhao Yi was a little confused.

"Because it has been determined that the technology is mature." The senior leader smiled, "It still depends on you. You don't know what the aviation people said. They said that they would come to you for any new designs that need to be improved in the future. It can speed up progress by several years.”

"Ha~"

Zhao Yi grinned symbolically.

The senior leader said, "Once the technology is perfected, it can be exhibited. In fact, fighter jets do not need to be kept secret at all, and there is no way to keep it completely secret. There are many benefits to being open."

Zhao Yi nodded and listened.

"Fighters, first of all, cannot be kept secret. How can something that goes to the sky be kept secret? The security department has reported dozens of incidents of the Warhawk-1 being debugged and filmed. This is certainly not all of them."

"As long as the War Eagle-1 is in service, it will definitely fly in the sky and it will definitely be seen. Even if it is not seen, there are satellites abroad."

The senior leader continued, "On the one hand, it cannot be kept secret, and on the other hand, international competition and deterrence effects must be considered."

"In today's era, it is very difficult for major powers to have wars. It was impossible a few decades ago. Therefore, the main focus of the military is deterrence, deterring big countries and shocking small countries."

"It would be meaningless if advanced fighter jets were manufactured but the results were hidden. The purpose of manufacturing advanced fighter jets is not to make a splash in war, but mainly to deter opponents."

"In addition, there is international competition. The main consideration is the influence of military science and technology, which means competing internationally for military orders."

"War Eagle-1 costs money!"

The senior leaders talked for a long time and suddenly sighed.

Zhao Yi also nodded. The cost of the War Eagle-1 is indeed not low. One aircraft easily exceeds 100 million US dollars, or even 150 million US dollars. The reason why it is calculated in US dollars is because the materials for many parts still need to be imported. .

This is not a purely technical issue, but an inevitable result of internationalization.

A fighter jet contains too many technologies and materials. The relevant manufacturing materials alone require a lot. Many materials are not produced by domestic companies, and it is impossible for domestic companies to produce all materials.

The same is true for the internal equipment of fighter jets. Many parts are produced by foreign companies.

This is normal.

If all technologies and materials come from domestic companies, or are all independently developed, not to mention how much time and labor costs will be spent, the manufacturing cost alone will be higher.

One benefit of internationalization is that it reduces the manufacturing costs of complex equipment.

For example, the production of an ordinary mobile phone requires the participation of at least dozens of countries.

Why do we need dozens of countries to do it all instead of just one country?

Only companies from dozens of countries participating together can maximize cost reductions. However, if a single country participates, not to mention insufficient technology, the manufacturing cost of some special parts is high, which will lead to a significant increase in the overall cost.

In short, in the era of internationalization, the War Eagle-1, which was completely independently developed, was also produced by companies from many countries and regions without knowing it.

The cost of the War Eagle-1 is very high, and mass production is not realistic. It is best to be able to produce while having a steady stream of funds to supplement it. The funds should preferably come from orders in the aviation field, which will be the best development model. .

…

After the plane landed in Zhucheng, Zhao Yi and the senior leaders checked into the internal hotel, but without taking a break, he went directly to the air show venue to take a look at the relevant booths.

Domestic air shows are of course led by aviation groups.

This time, several civil aircraft manufacturing companies under the aviation group prepared dozens of types of civil aircraft and aircraft for display.

Some only have design models, with parameters, functions, etc. written in detail.

Some of them indicate that aircraft will appear, that is, on the day of the exhibition, the aircraft will perform corresponding performances in the air.

These aircraft come in all shapes and sizes. Some are amphibious aircraft, used for spreading pesticides or extinguishing fires, while others are small drones. Compared with aircraft technology, drone technology is more advanced. The drone exhibition booth of the aviation group company , several of them are directly equipped with magazines, and the military color is very strong.

Zhao Yi looked over one by one and accidentally looked up and saw an acquaintance.

"Designed by Mr. Zhang!"

Zhao Yi shouted subconsciously.

Zhang Gangchuan also just saw Zhao Yi. He was receiving senior leaders just now. He didn't expect that the leader would be followed by Zhao Yi. He suddenly asked in confusion, "Why aren't you with the leader?"

"I'll take a look myself."

"oh."

Zhao Yi asked in confusion, "Why are you here? Look at what you are like...are you working here part-time?"

"...Ahem!"

Zhang Gangchuan was so angry that he almost spat out blood. He was indeed wearing uniform work clothes, but his work clothes looked more high-end, right?

What did you say about 'part-time job'?

How could he, Zhang Gangchuan, the dignified general manager of the Kunlun Group and a well-known figure in the domestic aviation field, work part-time as a staff member at the air show?

Zhang Gangchuan didn't even want to explain. He pointed to the position behind him and basically said, "You'll know just by looking at it."

Zhao Yi took one look and immediately became confused, "Kunlun II engine? Is there such a model?"

"this……"

Zhang Gangchuan suddenly felt embarrassed.

In fact, the prototype that the Kunlun group exhibited at the air show was the WZ-A2 engine. However, because the internal code name of the WZ series engine was confidential, it was changed to the Kunlun II engine.

The design of the WZ series engine is Zhao Yi’s personal handiwork.

Now the name has been changed to 'Kunlun Type 2', it's like the Kunlun group replaced someone else's design with their own group's name, and even met the original designer and was immediately caught.

Isn't this embarrassing? !
