"Oh, Simonov is here too."

Xie Kai looked at Simonov among a group of Soviets and said in surprise.

Bai Yanjun, who was next to him, did not know the new Soviets, and asked Xie Kai doubtfully, "Which is Simonov? This is the chief designer of Sukhoi!"

Xie Kai pointed to a short, gray-haired old man in the crowd, and said, "That is, the chief designer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau and the deputy minister of the Soviet Aviation Industry Department. This guy is a lucky man."

Bai Yanjun looked puzzled. How could he be lucky with such a title?

Xie Kai smiled without explaining.

Bai Yanjun did not follow up, but Zhao Yujun from the 112 factory next to him was curious and asked Xie Kai, "Xie Kai, are you familiar with this one? Tell us about it. We are not familiar with the leaders of the Soviet Union. ."

Xie Kai took a look at the time. The Soviets had not yet settled down, and the negotiations started for a while. He said to Zhao Yujun: "In the mid-1970s, the design of the Su-27 prototype T10 was completed, and drawings and manufacturing began in 1975. September 15 of the same year. On May 20th, the founder of Sukhoi, the original chief designer Sukhoi, passed away, and Ivanov acted as the chief designer. T10-01 first flew on May 20, 1977, followed by 2, 3, and 4 Prototype No. 2, and No. 2 prototype crashed due to an accident. At the end of 1979, when it was about to enter mass production, Simonov found that the test-flying Su-27 could not reach the original design and surpass the American F-15, and the performance difference was very different, so he proposed Big change plan..."

Having said that, Xie Kai paused, glanced at the Soviets who were still sitting next to him, and continued: "At that time, the Su-27 had a maximum range of just over 3000 kilometers and a maximum flight speed of only 2230 kilometers per hour, low altitude. The maximum table speed is only 1,350 kilometers per hour."

Zhao Yujun immediately said, "The three-generation mainstream aircraft, with the maximum low-altitude gauge speed and minimum requirements are all above 1400 kilometers, this fighter is a bit behind..."

As the deputy director of the 112 factory, a manufacturer specializing in the production of fighter aircraft, Zhao Yujun naturally knows the international standards for a new generation of fighter aircraft.

I feel that the parameters of the Soviet Union’s Su-27 are a bit lagging behind.

Xie Kai glanced at him, but didn't expect this guy to be a sensible person.

It seems that Shen Fei has learned a lot about cooperating with Americans.

Continued, "Yes, at that time, Sukhoi proposed an improvement plan. Simonov persuaded the Ministry of Aviation Industry and the military to start improving according to the plan he proposed. At the beginning, he was transferred to the Ministry of Aviation Industry as Deputy Minister. As a result, the improved Su-27 prototype has the same place as the original prototype, only the main landing gear tires and the pilot’s ejection chair."

The others are blinded.

Does Xie Kai know about such things?

Did they understand this when they contacted Sukhoi last time in the Soviet Union?

Wang Chengfeng asked in surprise, "How did your kid know these secrets?"

Obviously, he didn't believe it.

Xie Kai didn't explain, but stared at him dissatisfiedly, and Wang Chengfeng immediately shut up in embarrassment.

Xie Kai was very satisfied with Wang Chengfeng’s attitude and continued, “This change is large enough, and the improved test flight was carried out in accordance with the previous test flight schedule, which made the test flight more difficult. In September 1981, the T10-7 prototype was launched. During the test flight, Ilyushin was permanently grounded due to a catapult due to a fuel exhaustion. Korchin, the project chief who implemented the Simonlov’s improvement plan, was implicated and dismissed from the chief division position. The engineer in charge, Yamalkov, was also dismissed To the removal..."

At that time, the Su-27 crashed a lot during the test flight.

Many pilots also sacrificed.

There are also many Soviet aviation giants "Academician Dreams Broken".

Xie Kai paused, and after seeing the situation of the Soviets, he continued, “On December 23 of the same year, when the T10-12 was in the maximum speed test flight, the nose broke and the aircraft disintegrated in the air. Sukhoi Chief Designer Yi Vannov was also implicated. At that time, he was selecting an academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, but he was transferred to the Ministry of Aviation, and lost the opportunity to become a Soviet academician... If Simonov was not transferred to the Ministry of Aviation Industry as the deputy minister, as the general manager As an engineer, it is impossible for him to sit here and talk to us now."

When Xie Kai said such secret things, Bai Yanjun and the others were shocked.

They never thought that there would be such a thing during the flight test of the Su-27.

Everyone knows that the test flight of the fighter plane is dangerous, and the Su-27 has more problems.

Zhao Zheng looked at Xie Kai, a little disbelief, "You kid wouldn't be talking nonsense, right?"

Xie Kai didn't argue with him, these things were secret in the Soviet Union.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

"But this one is indeed worthy of admiration. If it weren't for him to propose a major change to the Su-27 fighter, the Su-27 would not have the excellent performance it is now. Through the modification plan he proposed, the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the Su-27 was reduced by 15%. The resistance is reduced by 18% to 20%, which effectively improves the overall performance of the entire Su-27."

If it hadn't been for Simonov to put forward a major reform plan for the Su-27 under tremendous pressure, this classic fighter would never have appeared.

The cause of these accidents was not in Simonov, but in the Soviet military.

Beginning in the 1970s, the Soviet Union was vying to design a more advanced heavy fighter for the American F-15, and it has been eager to install the air force soon.

Many problems were discovered during the flight test of the Su-27. After the modification, it was too late to make more tests. Because of the urgent needs of the Soviet military, it had to be produced in this way.

Simonov looked at Xie Kai and nodded slightly to him.

When Xie Kai went to the Soviet Union, the two sides had already met. The chief engineer had a deep memory of the young man Xie Kai.

At that time, China wanted to purchase Su-27 fighter jets, and it was also the result of Sukhoi's initiative to communicate with Chinese personnel.

As usual, after the two parties were seated, they gave a brief introduction and then entered into formal negotiations.

For the three units of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, AVIC, and Factory 112, they are all very excited.

As long as negotiations are concluded, the classic Su-27 fighter jet will be localized in the 112 factory.

"Everyone, we have no opinion on the export of the Su-27 fighter jet. I think the possibility of technology export is not too high. The technology is too advanced, and it is difficult for you to master..." Simonov asked the Chinese side as soon as he opened his mouth. The staff is a little upset.

Is this the technological foundation that looks down upon China?

Xie Kai thinks this chief designer is very boring, why does he always play this trick!

Xie Kai was a little disappointed when he saw that other people just looked ugly and didn't refute.

This was originally the technology introduced by Factory 112, and the Ministry of Aviation Industry and AVIC both participated. They did not talk about it themselves, and it seemed that it was still a 404.

At this time, Xie Kai couldn't hold back.

He immediately stood up and retorted to Simonov, "The chief designer, if you are unwilling to export technology, you can say directly. What is the basis of China's technology? We know whether we can master production technology or not. It is also our business. What's more, Su- Fighter 27 is not that great."

Since the other party wants to play this first, Xie Kai is not welcome.

Xie Kai's words immediately caused the eyes of both China and the Soviet Union to fall on him.

The faces of the Soviets were even more angry, and their eyes were about to explode with anger.

The Su-27 is the undisputed best fighter of the Soviet Union, and its performance even surpasses the American F-15.

This was originally developed to deal with the American F-15 fighter plane. According to the military's requirements, it must reach 1.1 times the performance of the F-15 before it can be deployed.

The most advanced fighter in the world, was said by a young Chinese like Xie Kai that its performance was not good!

Misavichowski looked at Xie Kai and felt that this kid was too ignorant that the sky was so great, how did Xie Jianguo give birth to such a son?

Sukhoi General Manager Bo Gexiang directly snorted, "Thank you, since you said that, then you point out the shortcomings of the Su-27, and we can modify it."

He had tried his best to suppress his anger, but he still revealed strong dissatisfaction in his words.

He stared at Xie Kai stubbornly, with an endless expression that couldn't be said.

The Su-27 fighter is a must for Xie Kai. It is absolutely impossible for the Soviets to take the rhythm and let the Soviets ask for it.

Xie Kai watched the Soviets so angry and didn't care.

Not to mention that Su-27 itself has many problems, there are no problems Xie Kai has to find out.

Otherwise, this negotiation cannot be negotiated.

As the manager of Sukhoi’s Public Relations Department, Chervakov, knowing why Xie Kai said this, immediately refuted Xie Kai, “Thank you, although there was an accident at the Paris Air Show, that does not mean the performance of Su-27 There was a problem. The problem at the time was because the pilot was poisoned by Western spies, not because the fighter itself was flawed."

His explanation calmed the Soviets' mood a lot.

At the Paris Air Show, the performance of the Su-27 was not as perfect as they thought at the beginning.

The poor performance of almost crashing even caused a lot of reputation damage to the Su-27.

This was completely frustrated with the Soviet Union’s idea of ​​shocking the world in one fell swoop, exporting fighter jets to obtain huge orders to make up for the Soviet financial deficit.

Since Xie Kai is talking about the performance of the Su-27 at the Paris Air Show, Sukhoi and the leaders of the Soviet Aviation Department are naturally unwilling.

"Comrades, we can immediately watch the Su-27's aerial performance demonstration live." Chervakov spoke to the Chinese personnel only after consulting with the bigwigs.

At the Paris Air Show, the performance of the Su-27 was unsatisfactory.

Xie Kai did not refuse at all, looking at Chervakov with a smile, "This is just right. Although we have seen it two years ago, none of our leaders have seen the most perfect display of the Su-27..."

Xie Kai's words made the Soviet Union popular, but he couldn't care about it.

The two sides are on opposite sides of the negotiation. For their own interests, they must do everything possible to suppress each other.

Bai Yanjun looked at Xie Kai with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and this kid was beginning to play rhythm again.

I don't know how this kid wants to talk to the Soviets about the purchase of the Su-27 fighter.

Secretly said to Zhao Zheng and Wang Chengfeng: "When Xie Kai is talking, try not to interject, unless he needs you to say something, then speak."

Wang Chengfeng was puzzled: "How do we know when he needs us to say something?"

Zhao Zheng and Zhao Yujun did not speak, and the expressions on their faces fully proved that they did not know.
