Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

How did you get it?

It's complicated if you say it's complicated, but it's actually very simple if you say it's simple.

From the beginning, Qin Yang was thinking of ways to make the Tomcat fighter crash into the sea. The inverted flight aimed at the cockpit cover made everyone taste the sweetness. They would definitely agree to the more dazzling and cool aerial surgical knife.

To avoid danger, various measures must be taken, but what if you are prepared and the enemy isn't?

The wings of the H-6 have been modified, with a one-meter foam section added to the outer edge. The American technicians are conscientious and fixed it very firmly, so this thing will not fall off. However, there is more than one H-6. As long as another normal bomber with the same paint scheme is taken off, it will be fine. The Americans have no radar monitoring and don't know that the H-6 has been swapped.

This normal H-6 also specially replaced the skin on the outer edge of the wing with stainless steel instead of aluminum alloy. How could the vertical tail of the Tomcat fighter cut it? In the end, the vertical tail of the Tomcat fighter broke in the collision.

Of course, the part of the vertical tail that fell off would not necessarily hit the engine at the tail, let alone cause the engine to burn. However, at the moment when the vertical tail and the wing of the H-6 came into contact, a special fire extinguishing device on the wing would be activated. The fire extinguishing liquid inside was replaced with flammable liquid, which happened to spray onto the engine of the Tomcat. So as long as there is a collision, the tail of the Tomcat will definitely burn.

Although tricks were played, the view of the external camera was blocked by the vertical tail, so it could not be filmed at all.

However, Qin Yang is not a god, and there are still many things he didn't count on. For example, after discovering the fire in the right engine, Skol still wanted to insist on flying the plane back. Fortunately, the unreliable TF30 saved the plan. In a hurry, Skol's movements were a little rough, and the TF30 engine became temperamental and stalled!

With both engines broken, they had no choice but to parachute.

The plane crashed into the water, and a submarine was waiting underwater, dragging a fishing net to salvage the scene. So, this plane fell into the hands of the Orientals.

Now, everyone is very excited to see this fighter in hand.

"Old Lin, you guys are so bold. Why didn't you report such an important matter?" At this moment, someone rushed in from outside. Although his eyes were shining when he looked at the plane, he was saying critical words.

"Yo, look at my old Lin's memory. I actually forgot to report such an important matter. Alas, I'm getting old and my brain is not working well. Old Zhang, don't be angry, I'll report to you now." Old Lin patted his head.

"Memory? You are clearly doing it on purpose!" Leader Zhang was a little annoyed: "Is it still useful to report now? This is clearly acting first and reporting later!"

"Old Zhang, I will accept any punishment you give me, but now is not the time to talk about this. We have already obtained such a plane. What arrangements should we make next?" Old Lin skillfully changed the topic.

The Tomcat fighter is already in hand, what to do next?

Leader Zhang nodded: "That's right, we have to discuss it. You are always causing trouble for us! Old Tu is also here, tell me, how should this plane be handled?"

"Currently, in our aviation industry, Old Lu from Factory 320 has been researching the Q-6 with variable swept wings. Now that we have the Tomcat, we can hand it over to Factory 320 and let Old Lu and the others survey and copy it. Copying this kind of aircraft will definitely be much better than the Q-6," said Old Tu.

Although he also wanted it very much, the current Factory 132 does not have this capability. Their current task is to improve the J-7 and continue to engage in military sales. They also do not have any technical reserves for variable swept wings.

And Old Lu, this big shot in the aviation industry, has been tirelessly researching the Q-6 with variable swept wings.

Old Lu was born in 1932. He graduated from university in 1941 and went to work at the Kunming Air Force First Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. Later, he went to McDonnell Aircraft Factory in the United States and Gloucester Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom. He is one of the few people who has studied abroad. After returning to China, he first developed the first domestic jet trainer at the old Northeast base. In 1958, he was transferred to Factory 320 to develop the Q-5. In 1969, he designed the J-12. After bringing back the MiG-23 from Egypt, Old Lu began to study the surveying and copying of the MiG-23. This result is the Q-6.

Although the Q-6 is a copy of the MiG-23, the performance of this aircraft is stronger than the MiG-23. It plans to use the advanced WS-6 engine, plans to use fly-by-wire control, and even plans to interlock the flight control and fire control. Old Lu has studied abroad and is different from others.

However, the Q-6 did not go to the end. The reason is very simple: the WS-6 went on strike, there was no engine! The conservatively designed JH-7 finally matured because it used the mature Spey engine.

Now that we have the Tomcat fighter, will handing it over to Old Lu change this ending?

Leader Zhang nodded: "Yes, if we hand it over to Old Lu, maybe we can get them to copy the Tomcat fighter. This is much stronger than the MiG-23. By the way, President Qin, what do you think? You are the biggest contributor this time."

Qin Yang swallowed: "Me? I actually want to dismantle it into parts and sell it. Don't look at Grumman asking us for 60 million US dollars each, but after dismantling it, I estimate that it can be sold for 200 million US dollars."

This is called the parts-to-whole ratio! If you try to completely purchase original parts to assemble a car, you will find that the price is several times higher than buying the whole car directly, because the parts bought separately are much more expensive.

Hearing Qin Yang say this, everyone was stunned. Does President Qin want to make money? We have spent so much effort and taken such a big risk. Shouldn't we improve our technical level? Why are you so focused on money?

"President Qin, are you not optimistic about surveying and copying?" Old Tu reacted.

At first, it was just a flash of inspiration to trick the Americans out of a Tomcat, but now that the Tomcat is in hand, how to deal with it has become a problem.

"With our industrial base, it is too difficult to survey and copy it." Qin Yang said: "Not to mention anything else, just the wing box on this wing pivot, Grumman uses a titanium alloy structure and uses vacuum electron beam welding technology. We don't have this technology, so we have to use stainless steel, which will be several times heavier."

Old Tu frowned. This is indeed a problem, but... just as he was about to say something, he saw someone walking in in a hurry.

"Old Tu, the Zhou Shuizi Airport called and said that Sun Tianqing requested to resume testing."

"He has never been so proactive. Could it be that he wants to take advantage of the chaos to fly the plane away!" Old Tu looked at Leader Zhang and Old Lin: "Two leaders, you are here just in time, give us an idea."

After listening to Old Tu's brief introduction, Leader Zhang thought slightly, and then nodded: "Okay, since you have all arranged it, then follow your preparations!"

"Take off a J-8 and be ready to respond to changes at any time. If the arrangement doesn't work, then shoot him down!" Old Lin clenched his fist: "We must let everyone know what the consequences will be for betraying our motherland!"
