Rebirth of Military Workers

"The progress of bass engine research is indeed slow. Now our J-7 and J-8 are already behind." Long Yaohua was silent for a while before speaking. "The Air Force needs advanced three-generation engines."

"The F-14 fighter jet that the Iraqis were required to obtain was not for anything else, but for the avionics system and fire control system above. Project 82, 50 aircraft, plus 5 sets of backup systems, 550 million US dollars, Now, the progress is still slow... If we have an advanced fire control system, we don't need to ask the Americans! We should work hard on this!" Xie Kai is not concerned about anyone's face now.

He knows what the final fate of Project 82 is.

Maybe people in the military dare not be completely relieved.

The J-8II cooperated with the Americans in the avionics system, but it was eventually smashed by the United States. The US$550 million was lost. This is a foregone conclusion. Xie Kai can't stop it, and it can't stop it.

He must not let the J-10, which had already gone through hardships and lacked funds, be developed even more slowly.

Xie Kai was originally going to cooperate with the 132 factory. When talking about the large press project, he talked with Zheng Yucheng about this.

At that time, there was no in-depth communication with the people in the 132 factory and the 611 institute.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yucheng and the others actually wanted to use the wreckage of the F-14 fighter to imitate this fighter.

"Chief, what should not be said, is that we can successfully imitate it to achieve the performance of the F-14. At the current level of the Air Force's poor fuel and no money, can it be affordable?" Xie Kai said, completely It is the last straw that crushes the camel.

They didn't think about user issues before.

Such fighters are indeed advanced, and the Chinese Air Force needs such advanced fighters to equip the troops.

No one has ever wondered whether the Chinese Air Force, which currently lacks funds, can afford such a fighter after a high cost.

"The F-14 has one of the biggest problems. The maintenance cost is too high for the U.S. Navy to bear! Iran now has F-14 fighters failing almost every time it takes off and landing. Everyone should be aware of the situation..." Xie Kai Continue to say.

In any case, they can use the F-14 technology, but they absolutely can't completely imitate the F-14 fighters in this way.

Even if China's industrial base and technological level can be copied, the maintenance cost will definitely be higher than that of the F-14 produced in the United States.

Take a look at the J-7, the cost of maintenance makes the Air Force reluctant to use it.

How many years has it been made?

There are only a hundred of domestic equipment.

"Xia Xie, that's the most advanced three-generation fighter in the world." Long Yaohua reminded Xie Kai, "The most advanced in our country is the J-8II, even for the Soviet MiG-25 and Tu-22M Backfire bombers. There is no way."

"Isn't the J-8II just to deal with this?" Xie Kai didn't let go anyway. "Of course, the base makes life decisions and what tasks the superiors arrange have nothing to do with me."

The sentence after Xie Kai is completely shameless.

If it really has nothing to do with him, or if Long Yaohua and others don't care about his emotions, they won't explain this to him at all.

Even if the J-8II is made, there is no way to deal with high-speed fighters and supersonic bombers like MiG-25 and Tu-22M Backfire. Responding to this kind of J-9 has been discontinued.

"Now let’s talk about the Iraqis, let’s talk about it later." Seeing that there is no conclusion for a while, it is difficult to convince Xie Kai. Zheng Yucheng also knows that Xie Kai has his own ideas on the fighter project, so I don’t want to argue now. .

They wanted to engage in a fighter project, and as soon as they proposed it, Xie Kai stopped it.

In fact, they are also aware of the issue of funding that there will be no problems at the beginning, but problems will arise in the later stages.

The military did not make a clear statement here, which meant that they would definitely provide part of the funding.

I can't tell Xie Kai clearly.

At least, there is no way to say in front of Long Yaohua.

"Since the Iraqi F-14 has already been shipped, we will definitely have to get it. Including the various types of air-to-air missiles we need. Now we have an air-to-air missile project team. , Research in this area is ongoing..." Xie Kai was unwilling to switch to other things like this.

Zheng Yucheng and others couldn't help him for his persistence, or ignorance of current affairs.

"Do we keep all the missiles in our own hands?" Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai.

There were at least three air-to-air missiles sent by the Iraqis.

The AIM-7 Sparrow missile, the AIM-9 Sidewinder, and the AIM-54 Phoenix, three air-to-air missiles are well-known internationally, with different ranges and technologies. China has no technology.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Any kind of air-to-air missiles are currently needed by China.

It is a good thing to be able to imitate it or integrate the technology.

The 404 unit was taken down, but there was not much ability to imitate it as soon as possible.

It is most suitable to provide some R&D technologies to other brother units.

"Yes, it must remain in our own hands. There are already many missile models in China." Xie Kai nodded and said.

Xie Kai does not know how many types of Chinese air-to-air missiles.

Anyway, he knows that there are absolutely a lot of these things in China.

The vast majority of air-to-air missiles are imitations.

The Soviet Union, France, the United States, and even Israel and Italy...

Long Yaohua and others looked at Xie Kai, and they decided not to talk about it anymore. They could not even consider Xie Kai's emotions.

However, Zheng Yucheng and others had to consider.

Once Xie Kai has emotions, it is very difficult to get him to work again.

"If you have any ideas, you might as well say them." Long Yaohua asked Xie Kai, "If the opinions are reasonable, we will consider them."

Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng, and Zheng Yucheng and others nodded.

"If the fighter plane project is really going to be carried out, we can cooperate with the 132 factory. The large press is ours, which is what they need; in terms of design, we can cooperate with the 611 Institute to intervene in the Air Force’s No. 10 project... At the same time, with the current In our case, we can take on the avionics system, the fire control system, and even the power system of the engine..." Xie Kai is not without thinking about these things.

In the case of 404, all of them are a finished product, and all the strengths of the entire base will not necessarily be able to complete a project.

It is most appropriate to cooperate with other units, especially promising units, to speed up the development of certain technologies.

The J-10 designed by 611 didn't take much time, but it took too much time to make a prototype.

The manufacturing technology is not good, and there is no power system at all. The avionics system and the fire control system have always been improved while flying.

Until several models were changed, almost completely replacing the imported AL-31 engine with the Taihang engine, the avionics system was barely able to catch up with the international market. Compared with the F16, it was equipped with the third-generation air force of most countries in the world. The latest model of fighter jets is said to be much worse.

404 can be invested in this.

Whatever difficulties are in the country, just gnaw at them.

This is the meaning of 404, rather than wasting funds on projects that already exist in the country based on the particularity of 404.

"Power system? Many domestic units specialize in engines!" Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai.

"Fire control system? In addition to having a tank fire control system, we also need a lot of work, and we are also engaged in fighter fire control. This is not the same thing..." Bai Yanjun did not understand, Xie Kai must know what he said. How difficult are these technical projects.

Long Yaohua frowned and looked at Xie Kai.

It would be a good thing if the division of labor was done in this way.

Although 404 is not professional, it has the best domestic technical units in electronic technology.

Tank fire control and fighter fire control are two different things, but they have some similarities.

The power system, with the 404's sub-work momentum, may really have a different effect, but it is not clear.

"Do you know that these projects are the most difficult of the entire project?" Long Yaohua asked Xie Kai, "The foundation of 404 is not very good."

"Chief, I know better than anyone." Xie Kai nodded firmly and said.

"Then why do you want your unit to engage in these core projects?" Long Yaohua directly pointed out Xie Kai's mind.

These projects mentioned by Xie Kai seem to be difficult, and they are all core projects.

It is also the most expensive part of the entire equipment.

Once they control the core technology, behind this...

Of course, the profit is definitely the highest in these parts.

The 82 project, an avionics system is worth tens of millions of dollars, you can imagine how high the profit is, although some aerodynamic layout and power system improvements are added.

How much does the entire fighter cost?

"Because the profits of these core projects are high enough!" Xie Kai didn't hide anything.

Long Yaohua looked at Xie Kai with a serious face and didn't know how to answer him for a while.

The core project profit is high!

"Actually, we don't worry about other units working on these projects. Their progress is too slow." Xie Kai grinned, showing his white teeth, "Chief, we want to do it. We must mobilize the best talents. At the same time, , There are also far more sufficient funds than brothers."

The funding of 404 does not require a penny of financial appropriation from higher-level departments, and will not compete with anyone for the military's modest funding.

"This is also the meaning of our 404." Xie Kai continued to explain.

Long Yaohua really didn't know how to refute his words.

Zheng Yucheng and others were happy in their hearts, but could not express their opinions.

That's what they think, but they can't say that, or else their consciousness is too low.

"In that case, we keep the air-to-air missile project? We are only responsible for the avionics system, fire control system and power system for the fighter aircraft project?" Wang Guilin asked Xie Kai.

This is already several projects.

But it also saves a lot of money compared to their family's full set of fighter projects, and it is much less difficult to manage.

"We 404, we should do those challenging projects! We must get the core technology! What are we doing for work that is not challenging?" Xie Kai said proudly. "Because we are 404!"
