The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master

Many people who have had work exchanges with Chang Haonan will comment that Academician Chang is a kind person.

Even colleagues who have not had direct contact with him will probably agree with this assessment.

After all, no matter which research field Chang Haonan enters, although he will eat up a large part of the research and development funds at the beginning, he will soon make the entire cake, so that everyone can at least have a drink of soup.

But Ren Bingda, who has worked with Chang Haonan for a long time, disagrees with this.

If he was asked to say it, Academician Chang definitely deserves the words "kind in appearance and evil in heart".

Especially when dealing with foreigners.

All kinds of dirty tricks are at your fingertips.

And the routine is not over yet.

They still have to thank us!

In short, Ren Bingda was fully mentally prepared for this kind of thing, so he was not too surprised after hearing Chang Haonan's plan.

It's just a bit of a pity.

Haofa Group will not get deeply involved in the gas turbine business in its current plan. It is only that this opportunity is related to the AE1500 that Chang Haonan will talk about these details.

If the situation changes in a few years, if you try to be the savior of the British, there is a high probability that it will not be your turn.

Ren Bingda sighed in his heart.

To make himself feel better, he began to deliberately think about things to be happy about.

For example, the scene where the British warship broke down on the high seas.

But after thinking about it, I immediately thought of some things that I had just ignored...

"Mr. Chang, these WR21 and MT30 will be the core power for the future main battleships of the United Kingdom and the United States... The Type 45 and the Zumwalt class together will produce at least forty or fifty ships... It is said that the British's new aircraft carrier will also use gas turbines. Power, if it’s all because of power issues..."

Although the words "paintings are beautiful without looking at them" still failed to come out of Ren Bingda's mouth in the end, the irrepressible arc at the corner of his mouth said everything...

"..."

Chang Haonan also showed a smile that couldn't help but laugh.

But it was not because of the scene of "forty or fifty warships lying down together" as Ren Bingda said.

But because of the two "capital ships" the other party mentioned, only 9 ships were built in total.

The good news: Far fewer warships are malfunctioning than expected.

Bad news: That's all there is to serve.

Of course, there is definitely no way to predict this kind of thing in advance...

He shook his head and got rid of all the complaints in his mind.

Then he changed into a solemn tone and said:

"Let's not talk too much about the future... Negotiations and contact with the British side, as well as subsequent participation in the Singapore Air Show, are mainly your responsibility. Just report to me when you encounter major decisions. Turbofan 20 The test flight of Heyun 9 will be left to Comrade Zhang Zhenhua..."

Ren Bingda's eyes flashed with surprise.

But it was fleeting.

He knew that Chang Haonan was also responsible for the research and development of hypersonic projects, but he did not know the details.

Subconsciously, he opened his mouth to ask something, but in the end he suppressed his curiosity.

Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.

Thousands of words condensed into one sentence:

"Promise to complete the mission!"

…

Time passed day by day, and 2005 soon came to an end.

Everyone involved in the entire hypersonic weapons project has entered the final sprint stage like clockwork.

At this time, the research and development of the verification bomb itself has been basically completed, and several core subsystems have also completed production.

The most important and arduous task left is to prepare for the test firing process.

The main factories of the First and Sixth Aerospace Academy are located in Beijing. Originally, as the production base of China's launch vehicles, they actually have a very mature product transportation plan.

But the problem is that the place where this test started is not an old space launch site like Suzhou or Jinyang.

But in the past, Haojing was rarely used as a destination.

Air transportation is of course the fastest solution in theory, but there is no airport inside the rocket production plant, so multiple transfers are inevitable and there are too many links in between.

More importantly, general transport aircraft do not have the ability to load cryogenic liquid fuel.

The Air Force has considered another method, which is to fly the specially modified Tu-160 No. 41175 to the capital, where it will be loaded and taken off.

Anyway, the range is far enough, so I don’t care about flying an extra distance.

But it was also abandoned due to reasons such as safety, confidentiality and ground maintenance capabilities.

Fortunately, the Gaochao verification bomb is not large in size and is close to an ordinary short-range ballistic missile.

Therefore, the final plan was determined to modify a WS2400 4-axle all-wheel drive chassis of the same model as the Dongfeng 11 missile for camouflaged transportation.

In this way, even if there is traffic control on the road, or even some clues are captured by satellites, people who see it will only think it is a normal training of the Second Artillery Corps, and will not consider more sensitive areas.

January 21, 2006.

Early morning.

At the entrance and exit of an overpass in the southeastern suburbs of Haojing, several police officers were standing next to a roadblock composed of two police cars, performing control tasks assigned by their superiors.

Of course, it is said to be under control, but in fact at this time of the year, the roads are quite deserted and there are not many cars at all.

Therefore, even though they had been standing in the biting cold wind for more than an hour, looking around, there were still only a few flashes of light from street lamps in the night in front of them.

A young policeman with the rank of third-level police inspector took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to his colleagues.

These days, the rules on smoking under the right clothes are not strict, not to mention that there are no outsiders at the moment, so it is not a public place.

"Boss, what's going on today? Why do you make such a scene in the middle of the night?"

After they lit their cigarettes, he approached a senior who was obviously more experienced and asked curiously.

"Well... you have only been here for a few days, so you feel fresh."

The old policeman took a deep puff of the cigarette and continued:

"We have a highly confidential military base in the eastern and southern suburbs of Gaojing, so the road is often closed in the middle of the night. Sometimes it is to transport things, and sometimes senior leaders come to inspect..."

"As for what is being transported... let alone us, even the armed police escorting the car may not know everything, but I guess it should be some confidential aircraft parts or missiles..."

Obviously, he is no longer surprised by this.

"That means... the convoy will pass by us later?"

The curiosity of the young police officer was obviously not fully satisfied.

And it was so cold that it was hard to bear not talking even if he was smoking.

"That's hard to say."

The old policeman shook his head, threw the cigarette butt that had burned to the bottom of his finger on the ground, and then stomped it out:

"We always block a specific area, but the convoy never comes from the same direction. I guess it's to bypass the area with heavy traffic, or the starting point is different."

"But... there's nothing to see. I've worked in this branch for more than ten years, and I happened to see the lineup of the transport convoy several times."

He put on an unfathomable look, obviously enjoying the envious eyes from the younger generation:

"Except for the green body and white license plate, it's actually a normal trailer or truck. The cargo box at the back is covered and camouflaged very well. It's impossible for you to see clearly what's transported inside..."

Hearing this, the young policeman showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He thought he would see something particularly cool.

So he finished the last cigarette and prepared to cheer up and continue to endure.

However, just as he bit the filter, a series of dim lights that were constantly flashing pierced through the heavy black fog and rushed towards them from the end of the road under the overpass...

The first to rush out from the night were a few ordinary military off-road vehicles.

Following closely, as the old predecessor said just now, there were a few Jiefang trucks that seemed to be no different from civilian models.

The back was covered with a tightly covered tarpaulin, but it could still be judged from the round outline that it should be the tanker responsible for accompanying support.

But further behind, it was a guy that was extremely unfamiliar to everyone.

A four-axle transport vehicle.

The distance between the turn signals on both sides is almost the same width as the entire lane, the diameter of the tire is even close to the height of an adult, the flat cab is split into two parts by the cargo behind, the slightly inward-inclined windshield combined with the V-shaped air intake grille on the front face flashes an irresistible majesty under the illumination of the street lamps...

Even if you look down from the intersection of the overpass, you can still feel the oppression brought by this steel monster.

"Fuck, Dongfeng..."

The young police officer widened his eyes and didn't even notice that the cigarette butt in his mouth had fallen to the ground at some point.

Until a loud command sounded from behind.

"Salute--"
