Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Of course, you can buy them in the United States, but are they buying them for a few Boeing 707 engines? They are here to investigate the true strength of the Orientals!

"President Qin, can we exchange one radar antenna first?" Natalie asked. They only need to get one radar antenna to verify the capabilities of the Orientals, and there is no need to exchange so many.

"It's not easy for us to open a new production line." Qin Yang said, "If you require us to process radar antennas according to your specifications, we have to replace all the original molds, which will cost a lot of money. If you only want one antenna, then you have to exchange it for at least five engines!"

What Qin Yang said also made sense. If the quantity is small, the price will naturally be high. No matter how you calculate it, it is not cost-effective for the Israelis.

"President Qin, can it be a little less?" Natalie asked. This request is also difficult for them to agree to!

"It can't be less." Qin Yang shook his head repeatedly, and then relented: "But we are friends, we always have to give you some benefits. We don't care about taking a little loss. Okay, then four engines, plus two Patrolmen."

Replacing one engine with two Patrolman drones is definitely a bargain, after all, this thing is worthless!

You are taking a loss? You are taking advantage of it! But Natalie had no choice but to nod: "Okay, we will contact the country."

Factory Director Tang's heart was pounding. What those engines do has nothing to do with him, but these Patrolman drones are for their Factory 112. President Qin is really amazing!

The agreement still needs to be decided by the Israeli domestic authorities. At this time, the bait has been released. It is not Qin Yang's concern whether the other party will take the bait. He ate his fill and took his wife to the guest house.

Factory Director Tang arranged everything and left the factory in a 212, struggling along the snowy road to the 601 Institute six kilometers away.

"Old Tang, did President Qin agree?"

Facing the expectant gazes, Factory Director Tang looked at the thin old man at the head: "Old Gu, President Qin said he doesn't have the authority."

Old Gu was born in Suzhou in 1930. He grew up in the flames of war and witnessed enemy planes bombing the motherland. He made up his mind to serve the country through aviation. He entered the aviation department after graduating from university in 1951 and has been working there ever since. He started as a small designer and has been working as the chief designer of the J-8 fighter jet.

He devoted his best time to the development of the J-8. He went from his forties to his current sixties, but found that the J-8 project had become a chicken rib. He was very reluctant to give up, and at the same time, he did not want the old aviation base here to slowly decline due to the loss of the project.

This time, they were also full of expectations for President Qin's arrival, but President Qin did not say that he wanted to see them, so they did not rush to see President Qin. They could only wait here for Factory Director Tang's news.

At this time, hearing Factory Director Tang say this, everyone's eyes dimmed. Does this President Qin have any opinions on us? What do you mean by not having the authority? The entire project was started by Qin Yang single-handedly!

"We used our J-8 II to fool the Israelis, and then we didn't give us any benefits? This President Qin is too much, right?"

"President Qin gave us a new direction." Seeing the disappointment in everyone's eyes and hearing the complaints, Factory Director Tang quickly said: "He said we can convert the J-6 into a drone."

"Drone?"

"Yes, we have more than 5,000 J-6s. It would be a pity if all these planes were recycled. We can completely convert them into drones. Remove the cockpit of the J-6 and install the control system of the drone. It can not only attract enemy missiles, but also fly over and act as a bomb."

Factory Director Tang quickly explained: "Think about it, if all our more than 5,000 J-6s are converted into drones, in the future war on the southeast coast, we can use these drones to consume all the missiles on the opposite side and blow up all their airports and air defense positions!"

Just imagine the scene of J-6 fighter jets flying all over the sky, as dense as a locust plague, how spectacular it would be!

"Hmph, what J-6 drone, this kind of project is too small!" Deputy Chief Designer Lao Li said: "This kind of project can be done by a third-tier small factory! Our 601 Institute is the largest aviation research institute. We want to do big things!"

"That's right, the task of imitating the Tomcat should have been ours. That President Qin is just looking down on people!" Another person said.

Factory Director Tang looked at the speaker in surprise: "Hey, Xiao Sun, is it appropriate for you to say that?"

"President Qin doesn't have good intentions. I really don't know where we offended him!"

"That's right, the 611 Institute received the task of modifying the aircraft shape design for IAI, can't he get us some international cooperation business?"

Factory Director Tang never expected that the people here would react like this!

"Achoo!" In the guest house of Factory 112, Qin Yang sneezed.

"Yang-ge, what's wrong? Do you have a cold?" Nie Xiaoqian looked at him with some worry: "You were really too much just now, in such cold weather, you were still naked..."

"I'm fine, someone must be scolding me behind my back." Qin Yang said: "I don't know if they will come to scold me, but we will leave in the middle of the night, they can't scold me."

"The train tickets to Qishi are only available in the middle of the night, Yang-ge, you have worked hard."

"What are you afraid of if you suffer this little bit for the Yun-10." Qin Yang said: "Our factory is making money, so we must give back to the country's industry and get those projects that cannot be done due to lack of funds up and running. The superiors did not approve the 60,000-ton forging press for the Yun-10, our Factory 960 will do it ourselves!"

In the past era, the totem of technology was rolling molten steel and a 10,000-ton forging press. Being able to manufacture advanced forging presses meant entering the ranks of first-class industrial powers.

And now, the totem of technology has become a small chip, but Qin Yang can't take care of it yet. For him, the forging press project is very important. Without this, both fighter jets and large airliners are castles in the air.

Since I'm here, I might as well take a trip to Yizhong Heavy Machinery in Qishi to finalize the forging press project.
