Chapter 123 The J-11 settled in advance
Early the next morning, Chang Haonan, who had regained his energy, met Yao Mengna again in the cafeteria.
It's just that when he was about to use his chopsticks, the other person had already eaten half of the meal.
“Senior sister, I...”
However, before he could say the invitation to go to Factory 112 together, Yao Mengna interrupted him quickly without even raising her head:
“Um...junior brother, I have something else to do, please take your time.”
Then he took the dinner plate and ran away decisively.
Sometimes, although escaping is shameful, it is useful.
For example, Chang Haonan didn't see Yao Mengna's already red face that was about to bubble.
"Well…"
He looked at the plate in front of him and thought about it. In fact, only what happened yesterday was unusual.
“Just because I didn't ask her what she wanted to do?”
Chang Haonan took a bite of the fried dough sticks and was a little confused.
“Senior sister doesn't seem to be such a narrow-minded person…”
In this era when there is no mobile network and most people do not even have mobile phones, it is still difficult to accurately contact a person who is neither at home nor at a fixed place of work.
So in the end, Chang Haonan did not do any useless work, but directly contacted He Ming, the deputy chief engineer in charge of the final assembly of the 83rd Project at Factory 112.
Although according to the permissions indicated on the former work permit, you can basically walk sideways in several factories in Shengjing, but for a unit of the size of Factory 112, if there is no one to carry it, you are likely to get lost inside...
Chang Haonan took a car directly from the airport to the test runway last time, so he was still relatively unfamiliar with the overall situation of the factory area.
But even so, he could see that Factory 112 was making some big move.
The factory area is almost full of various transportation vehicles, and several large workshops look like they have been renovated.
Furthermore, the security level within the entire factory has also improved to a higher level than before.
Although it is not as simple as three steps to one post and five steps to one post, Chang Haonan's work permit was checked three times just in the time it took him to walk from the door to the administrative office building of the factory.
“Comrade Xiao Chang, long time no see.”
He Ming seems to have been waiting at the door of the building for some time:
"The commotion you have created in Fucheng is not small. Even those of us engaged in complete aircraft production have received warnings from above, saying that we must build an independent aviation industry system based on our own realities. "
“I haven't heard such an encouraging statement in more than ten years.”
Although He Ming does not look too old due to his thick hair, he has actually worked at Factory 112 for more than 30 years, and even participated in the domestic manufacturing of the J-6A aircraft.
“I think the Science and Technology Commission should have had such a plan for a long time. The things Academician Liu and the others came up with don't look like they were unprepared.” Chang Haonan replied:
“The turbojet 14 successfully completed the test according to our own standards, which gives the superiors enough confidence to move forward with this matter.”
Even though Director Ding quoted exactly what he said on the phone during the meeting,
But if you think about it carefully, Chang Haonan does not feel that he can have an impact on this fundamental policy direction with just one word.
Because this kind of thing is not something that can only be decided upon by the Science and Technology and Industry Committee.
“Confidence is good... What we have been lacking the most in these years is confidence.”
He Ming raised his head, his tone full of emotion:
“You are still young and have not experienced many things. Sometimes, those who stand in our way are our own people.”
“When you encounter a slight problem, you should resort to the theory that it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy. At this time, it is very important to have this booster given by you.”
Chang Haonan looked at He Ming next to him, whose mood was fluctuating, and felt that it was time to change the topic:
"By the way, let's not talk about the turbojet 14. When I first came here, I saw something big happening in the factory?" "You don't know?"
He Ming was stunned when he heard this question, and then thought of something:
“Oh yes, you have been in Fucheng during this period, so you may not have heard of it.”
“At the beginning of this month, we formally signed an agreement with Russia to transfer the Su-27 production license, so a large amount of technical data and production equipment will be shipped here.”
Chang Haonan was also surprised when he heard this answer:
“Su 27...have the talks been concluded?”
If he remembered correctly, the agreement was originally two months later and was not officially signed until December 1996.
“Yes, Sukhoi suddenly made a huge concession, so the negotiation process went a lot smoother.” He Ming said this with a smile in his tone:
“And speaking of it, this matter still has something to do with you.”
"How come... I don't know this myself?" Chang Haonan felt as if he was suddenly out of touch with the world.
“When the No. 04 prototype flew for the first time, Commander Yang specially asked several Sukhoi technical consultants from Factory 112 to watch the whole process. Then within a few days, I heard that the agreement there was successfully signed. "
At the end of the day, contract negotiations are useless if you don't have any cards in your hand.
The improved J-8-3, even if it is not a king bomb, is at least four 2-level fighters.
What's more, it was created out of nothing when the card game was nearing the end.
The effect is naturally immediate.
“Unfortunately, I came a little late and only got two months...”
Chang Haonan nodded, but he still felt a little regretful.
If Project No. 10 is the beginning of China's realization of “freedom of fighter jet design,” then Project No. 11 is the starting point of China's realization of “freedom of fighter jet manufacturing.”
A heavy fighter with a maximum takeoff weight of 33 tons. Even if a full set of design information and raw materials are prepared, it is still a huge challenge to actually build the aircraft.
There are not many shortcuts in manufacturing, and time and investment are both indispensable, so if we only start two months in advance, the actual impact may be...
etc…
At this time, Chang Haonan suddenly remembered that He Ming seemed to have said just now that Russia had also made concessions on the content of the agreement, so he asked again:
“As for the content of the contract...”
As Chang Haonan's status in Institute 601 has risen, he naturally has the right to know about these things.
If he had asked this question when he first arrived in Shengjing, he would probably only get a blank look.
"According to the contract, Factory 112 will produce a total of 118 single-seat Su-27SK and two-seat Su-27UBK in the next 10 years. The first batch of 14 airframes will all be provided by Russia. Subsequently, we will gradually transition to completely manufacturing them ourselves. ”
"The engines, radars and electronic equipment required by the aircraft are subject to separate subsystem procurement contracts. Except for the first two batches of 28 aircraft, Russia does not restrict us from replacing the airborne equipment of the other 90 aircraft and can provide necessary assistance. Of course the cost is extra.”
“In addition, the Su-27 and its derivatives we produce cannot be exported to third countries.”
The specific contract content is of course much more complicated, so He Ming only selected the most critical parts.
But this was enough to make Chang Haonan almost drop his jaw.
Compared with the rather harsh conditions on the original timeline, the content of this agreement can now be called a philanthropist.
It is no longer important that there is an additional Su-27UBK production line and the reduction in the number of airframes that must be provided by Russia.
The latter item “without restrictions on the replacement of airborne equipment on 90 of the aircraft” is the full operating space.
This means that Project 11 can even embark on the path of "production and improvement" from the beginning, without having to delay it for nearly 10 years like in the previous life.
