Great Power Technology

While Ye Zhou and others were already planning their next goal, Chou Country was still worrying about the emergence of the Qilian Engine. What made them even more aware of the crisis was that the Qilian Engine was just a few meters away from the ground. Six days after the test was completed, the Nantianmen project team released the news that it had completed the aerial test.

Although the test run is just a test run, and there is still a long way to go before the subsequent debugging and optimization are completed, such efficiency is enough to scare them.

Completing the ground test and aerial test in a short period of time means that the engine is stable enough to support high-intensity work and does not even need to be repaired and adjusted after a single test.

If it is under certain extreme conditions and without considering the small probability of safety accidents, such an engine can even be directly installed on the machine.

While they lamented the efficiency of China's industrial sector, they also intensively began to respond to the situation.

The owner of the Office of Strategic Analysis has changed again, this time to an extremely radical former military figure named Johnson.

At the moment, he is in his office listening to researchers' reports on the latest situation.

"As mentioned above, all the restrictive measures we have imposed on each other have become ineffective. Whether it is the early pilot project or the later material restrictions, they have not achieved the expected purpose."

"The root cause of these failures is that we did not truly understand the opponent's intentions from the beginning, misjudged the opponent's true goals, and underestimated the opponent's technical strength."

"After the other party disclosed their project, we were not vigilant enough towards them, which resulted in taking the last opportunity to counterattack."

"Actually, there are not many cards we can play now, either route control or airworthiness certificate control. However, the other party does not seem to care about these two issues."

"Why don't you care?"

After listening to the analyst's words, Johnson frowned and asked.

He is not just a simple soldier. In fact, he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and has a technical background in engineering. He also plays the role of a technical officer in the army. Before taking office, he had a special understanding of the aviation and aerospace development fields. , and also understand the importance of airworthiness certificate to a country’s aviation manufacturing industry.

Why wouldn't the other party care about such a document that is necessary for flying to heaven?

The analyst paused for a moment and then explained:

"According to our latest intelligence, the last negotiation between the other party and the Mao Xiong Research Institute was completed two days ago. The two parties have reached an agreement. The content of the agreement is speculated to include technology transfer, equipment transfer and research and development cooperation."

"The most important point is that they are likely to jointly develop a new passenger aircraft based on the Qilian engine and use this large aircraft to set new airworthiness standards. By that time, many countries in the world will follow their lead. plan and there is nothing we can do about it.”

Just like the Swift in their hands, the essence of the airworthiness certificate is actually just a standard. If someone takes the lead in not recognizing this standard and unites to use a new standard, then what they can do is actually very limited.

Either hold your nose and admit it, or...

Johnson was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Execute my plan. Now, we have to put some pressure on them. We need to... make some presentations."

Two days later, everyone in the country felt the pressure through the media.

No one wants to discuss this topic, but they are pressured to do so.

Ye Zhou was watching TV with his family in the hall. Ye Lan had also arrived at Hailan at this time, but she was busy preparing for her own graduate project. Even when the family was reunited, she would glance at the computer from time to time. the data above.

Ye Zhou's father, Ye Shu, looked at the scene on TV and said to Ye Zhou with some emotion:

"It should be said that these ugly Japanese devils are not weak. Look, there are so many planes parked on the runway and so many ships. It's scary to see them."

"That's because their promotional videos are good. If we were to shoot such a promotional video, you would be scared to watch it. There is no way, rabbits are rabbits, they only dig holes, and they want to bury the carrots in the center of the earth. Unlike I make both movies and promotional blockbusters."

Ye Lan interjected on the side, and Ye Zhou felt a little funny, so he followed her words and explained to Ye Shu:

"This is called an elephant walk, where all the aircraft in the inventory are brought to the runway for display. It's actually not a big deal. We also filmed it last year, but it was on a smaller scale."

"The small scale means that we still don't have much on hand."

Ye Shu sighed and patted Ye Zhou's hand aside, with a hint of "You should know what I want to say even if I don't say it" in his eyes.

Ye Zhou wanted to answer, but the old man beside him interrupted Ye Shu:

"You know how to grow other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige! So what if they have them? Back then, we with Xiaomi and rifles also beat them back to our grandma's house. Now that we have everything, are we still afraid of them? Isn't it just to shoot a video? Do you want to show off? It’s like no one can!”

Listening to the old man's words, Ye Zhou and Ye Shu's eyes flickered a few times, but no one said anything.

After a while, Ye Shu deliberately wanted to change the topic, so he pointed at the plane on the screen and asked:

"What kind of plane is this?"

"This is the B2. It is claimed to be the most advanced strategic bomber in the world. It has high altitude and high speed, and the radar reflection area is the size of a sparrow. It cannot be detected at all. It can be hung on a variety of missiles, even tactical nuclear missiles. One The cost is 2.1 billion U.S. dollars, which is very expensive, but it is also worth it. Until now, this aircraft is still claimed to be 30 years ahead of the world."

After listening to Ye Zhou's explanation, Ye Shu frowned and then asked:

"So awesome? This plane just came out not long ago, right?"

Ye Zhou looked at the other party helplessly, and then replied:

"Dad, how long has it been since you paid attention to the news in this area? This aircraft was built in 1993, so it is almost 30 years ago."

"30 years? It took 30 years to create it, and it's still 30 years ahead of the world??"

"Yes, it's that advanced."

Ye Shu's expression dimmed instantly, but after taking a look at the old man beside him, he put on a nonchalant smile and said:

"Hate, thirty years is thirty years, don't we still have to catch up? Even if it takes a hundred years, we have to catch up step by step. Right, what about this? What kind of plane is this?"

"This is the Valkyrie, XB-70, which has been discontinued. This thing is completely different from the B2, and its performance is not very good, but because it looks handsome, it is taken out for a walk every year - I doubt this Will it still be able to fly?"

"Is that so? So this plane is not very advanced?"

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"No, it's very advanced. It has 6 jets and Mach 3. It's faster than missiles. We still can't build it."

After finishing speaking, Ye Zhou originally wanted to add, "It will be built soon," but thinking of the confidentiality regulations, he finally swallowed this sentence.

Precisely because he only spoke half of the words, Ye Shu's expression became more and more sad. He opened his mouth and wanted to continue asking, but in the end he did not speak.

If you continue to ask, you may receive a bigger blow.

Ye Zhou noticed something strange about his father, but he couldn't open his mouth to comfort him. Instead, Ye Lan glanced over and said calmly:

"What are you worrying about? Isn't it just a promotional video? Just change the channel and see if CCTV is showing off bears. Besides, dad, do you think it's still 2016? You know it's unfounded."

After hearing Ye Lan's words, several people in the room finally laughed, and the atmosphere relaxed a little.

Ye Zhou obediently changed the channel to CCTV, and then found that instead of showing Bear Infestation, it was showing a documentary about the scenery of Mount Tai.

Mount Tai remained motionless on the screen, but on the sea outside the screen, there were now monstrous waves.

Ye Zhou had received the news in advance. He was more anxious than anyone in the room, but besides that anxiety, he also had an inexplicable sense of confidence.

Even under the influence of the decision-maker's talent, he failed to find the source of that confidence.

Just as his thoughts were drifting away subconsciously, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Ye Zhou picked up the phone, and it was Chen Hao on the other end.

The other party's tone was very brisk, and what he said was an irrelevant matter.

"Engineer Ye, are you free tomorrow? If so, why don't you go out? We have prepared a gift for you and you need to check it out tomorrow."
