Rebirth of Military Workers

"Now our engines are also a problem. Egypt has 80 aircraft, and the United States has purchased a hundred, and there are only 20 left. The improved design of the Super-7A and the technical verification of the Super-7B are not enough..."

Xie Kai changed the subject.

Super-7B merges with the No. 10 project, what about the J-10?

Xie Kai doesn't want to see unfamiliar things like the double-engined J-10 appear.

I like the coquettish design of the single-engine J-10. Although this thing has taken many years of work, even when it first came out, the outside world thought that the J-10 was designed by China with part of the Israeli Lion fighter. In fact, only those who understand China's military industry know that it is basically impossible.

China originally wanted to obtain early warning aircraft technology from Israel. As a result, if the United States interfered, China could only do it on its own.

There are many projects and scattered funds.

There are many items to train the team.

"For the engine problem, haven't you all started to work on turbofan-10? Didn't it mean that turbofan-6 can be used?" Long Yaohua really did not expect that the engine problem restricting the domestic aviation manufacturing industry has still not been solved.

"Insufficient thrust. The maximum take-off weight of the Super-7A is much smaller than the 81.4 kN thrust that the RD-33 engine can provide when the engine is powered on, which is 8300 kg. On the one hand, it is necessary to maintain the power required for maneuverability, and on the other hand, it is for Use turbofan-6 when the engine can't keep up." Xie Kai explained.

Engines imported from abroad are easy to get stuck.

At the beginning, the RD-33 engine took advantage of the Soviets' failure to respond, and the Soviet military industry is now short of money.

"Have such a problem?" Li Mingshan also felt that the matter was serious.

At first I thought that the domestically-made engine was ready for use.

If a fighter can't be made fully domestically, it is also a troublesome thing if it is under the control of others when needed.

"Yes, so Uncle Zheng and the others discussed that they want to concentrate the technical strength of the national aero engine research unit to build a core machine." Xie Kai directly threw the pot to Zheng Yucheng and the others.

The national technological breakthrough has not appeared for many years.

Even if they did a large press before, they couldn't talk about a nationwide technical breakthrough. The technology and industrial system designed by a large press is far less extensive than the equipment in the aviation field.

"Can your funds support it?" Long Yaohua really didn't expect that Xie Kai said before that they would like them to help, that's it.

Now the 404 people have actually changed their strategy. They no longer dig people, and no longer spend money to let other units help. Instead, they have to do this by themselves, and the nationwide cooperation.

As long as there are sufficient funds and efficient technology integration methods, it is easy to produce results.

Of course, the military must meet the package.

"Funding is not a problem. There is no need to invest too much in the navy's project now... By the way, the chief, can you help tell us, assign the Hudong Shipyard to us?" Xie Kai asked.

He was thinking about this before when he was in Oman.

After returning to China, Hudong Shipyard was taken down, and large-scale merchant ships were built first.

As for the aircraft carrier or something, that can’t be solved in one or two days. There is no way to do it now, only pre-research.

The technology required by aircraft carriers is even more massive and complex than the aviation industry.

The aviation system is even only a part of it.

"Well, let's solve your current problems first. Don't you feel that your unit has too many projects involved?" Long Yaohua can't keep up with Xie Kai's brain circuit.

Why did you jump to the shipyard again when you clearly talked about the fighter plane?

"This is the case with fighter jets. The foundation is now available, and the money is sufficient. What is needed now is time." Xie Kai shook his head helplessly.

Time is what they lack most.

Foreign countries have a huge scientific research system, and it will take more than ten years or even longer to build a fighter.

Now even with Xie Kai's golden fingers, pneumatic layout design, and the overall required technology, you don't need to spend too much thought, as long as the design is proved feasible after experimentation.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

All kinds of basic projects, this is not what Xie Kai can say about it.

Even if it is a material formula, the formula is given without a lot of experimentation, when and what temperature, what kind of production process is uncertain, and the results obtained are all different.

"Aren't you also cooperating with the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"

"Well, we can't dig the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so we can only cooperate." Zheng Yucheng didn't think it was a shameful thing to dig people.

Anyway, for the sake of technology, they don't care about offending people.

404 needs to restore the original prosperity, indispensable technology.

But academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they really want to dig. The problem is that they can't dig at all.

Long Yaohua felt that he couldn't be with the 404 person, or he would be out of anger with a heart attack sooner or later.

"By the way, I heard that you are moving people to Qilian Mountains." As he was about to leave, I suddenly remembered that Qin Fei reported that the 404 people were too much, disharmony, and disunity.

This means that the design and development of the Yun-10 and derivative 708 aircraft design offices have been relocated.

Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin who turned his head to look elsewhere. He bowed his head and said nothing. He didn't make the matter and he certainly couldn't explain it.

For a while, the small meeting room fell into a depressed atmosphere.

"Head, Director Xiong is here..." It just so happened that Xiong Hongyuan came over to find Zheng Yucheng and the others, breaking the atmosphere in the room.

Xiong Hongyuan did not come alone, but with Chen Bizhi, the deputy factory director, and Zhao Bin, the chief engineer who has never been seen.

Xie Kai didn't know if it was because of his butterfly that the 132 factory had such a chief engineer. He had never heard the name before, but he was definitely a great person.

Seeing the high-levels of the 132 factory came together, Xie Kai thought they were also talking about the merger of Project 10 with Super-7B.

"It just so happens that everyone is here. Is the Super-7A now going into mass production..." Xiong Hongyuan said, letting Xie Kai breathe a sigh of relief.

There are many prototypes produced by Super-7A. Although the flight performance is not bad, it is not loaded with weapon systems, etc., and what is now produced is basically a shell with an engine, plus some simple control systems.

The two Long Yaohua don't know the specific situation. This is the cooperation between the 132 factory and the 404.

Zheng Yucheng looked at him, "Is there a reminder in Egypt?"

"They have been urging. They requested that the weapon system be loaded and put into production as soon as possible." Zhao Bin explained, "If we produce at the current speed, we can only produce about 40 aircraft per year while meeting the production of J-7 and Qiang-5. Counting American orders, Super-7A will take at least three and a half years to complete."

"It takes four and a half years to complete it all?" Xie Kai was anxious.

The honeymoon period with Americans only takes about one and a half years to end.

Without providing a batch of fighters to the Americans, how can they lead them to a stray technological tree to consume money and time?

"Yes, this is our largest production capacity. If we want to speed up, we must expand the production line..." Zhao Bin looked at Xie Kai and replied.

Obviously, he knew the weight of Xie Kai's words.

The expansion of the production line of the 132 factory naturally required 404 to advance the capital.

"It's too late to expand the production line." Zheng Yucheng frowned and said, "You didn't say before that the delivery period in the contract is 18 months. Isn't it fast for you to produce Super-7?"

The contract with the Americans is indeed 18 months.

But Zheng Yucheng and others have forgotten the orders that have not yet begun to deliver to the Egyptians.

Xie Kai didn't look at the contract again.

At the beginning, the Egyptians gave 1.6 billion US dollars to purchase the assembly line of 359 tanks from China, and also purchased the assembly line of Super-7A.

Among them, 40 were assembled in China and 40 were assembled in Egypt.

After the contract was signed, a large part of the equipment was paid, and the Chinese technicians began to help Egypt and the Ministry of Products to start building an assembly plant.

"We must deliver the Egyptian order. In addition, we have to contact the Soviet Union to purchase a batch of RD-33 engines. The Egyptians are now close to the United States and they can't get a spare engine." Xie Kai is worried. died.

Originally, I was worried about not using 200 engines.

Now I found that it was not enough.

The Soviets are not fools. At this time, they are sent to the door to ask for the engine, or they will not provide it, or they will add money to their lives.

Just as the domestic turbofan-10 had not yet been successfully developed, the J-10 engine used the AL-31 engine imported from Russia. In the end, the turbofan-10 succeeded. Lao Maozi was not happy. Not to mention the price increase of the engine, he also sold a batch Su-35 to China...

They have no self-knowledge, forget that they are no longer the powerful polar bears of the Soviet era, and they actually boast that with the Su-35, China's J-20 can be dismounted...

"Can the turbofan-6A be used?" Wang Guilin was in charge of production and realized the seriousness of the problem.

Although the turbofan-6 has been developed, the long-standby test has not yet been completed.

"The turbofan-6 must not be used for export. This is our own engine. For export, it is best to use RD-33. If Lao Maozi increases the price too much, don't let him."

For what Xie Kai and the others discussed, Xiong Hongyuan and others can only listen.

The engine factory is in the hands of 404, and they also get the imported engine.

"It really doesn't work. The Egyptians will drag it for a while, provide them with parts first, and assemble them by themselves..." Zheng Yucheng felt that American talents are major customers.

The Americans have purchased it, and it is not unkind to let the Egyptians wait first.

After all, the price given by the Egyptians is $2 million less for an airplane.

"That's not right, when Deputy Factory Manager Zhao Kunxi was in charge of these things before, there was no such slow production capacity..." Xie Kai suddenly sounded.

I always feel that there is a problem.

In the past, the production in cooperation with 404 was arranged by 132 deputy director Zhao Kunxi. This time, even Li Wenzheng, a senior party official, did not even see it.

"They are busy with other things." The embarrassment on Xiong Hongyuan's face flashed away.
