Chapter 233: Captured the electronic warfare pod?
When Chang Haonan and Ding Gaoheng arrived at the conference hall on the first floor of Sanzuomen together, they were more sure of what they had just guessed on the way.
Because in just a glance, he had already seen many familiar faces.
Yang Fenghao, Yan Zhongcheng, Zhong Shihong and other old colleagues who were deeply involved in the August 3rd Project need not be mentioned. There are also other comrades from the 112th Factory, 601st Institute, and even the 611th Institute, as well as many figures wearing military uniforms.
Ha
After getting a little closer, it was not difficult to find that a total of 6 pilots who had participated in the 00 batch pick-up before were all listed.
In addition, a group of test pilots such as Fu Guoxiang who have been deeply involved in prototype flight tests are definitely indispensable.
Simply put, representatives from all parties related to the August 3rd Project were sent here.
A huge banner with red background and white text was hung above the rostrum at the entrance. The printed text was to celebrate the official delivery of the J-8C aircraft to the army. This was a semi-public statement, probably because this kind of scene still required photos after all. Send out press releases.
Perhaps because today's theme is celebration, the atmosphere in the entire venue was relatively relaxed.
Even when Ding Gaoheng walked in, everyone did not act too restrained.
Of course you still have to have the basic etiquette that you should have.
“Director Ding.”
Yang Fenghata and others who were sitting not far from the door stood up one after another.
Then they saw Chang Haonan, who was following Ding Gaoheng and had just changed into a suit in the next room.
“Permanent worker? How do you...”
Zhong Shihong, the youngest among them, still lacked concentration and subconsciously blurted out in shock.
Chang Haonan's appearance here is of course something that everyone can expect, but the appearance of Ding Gaoheng really surprised many people.
You must know that these three gates are important military areas. Even if you have a pass, it is absolutely impossible to enter and exit casually. Moreover, everyone here is picked up by a special car. There are detailed plans for the order and time of arrival. Basically, there will be no two differences. People coming over encountered this situation by chance at the door.
Even if there is, there will be a delay when entering the door.
So there is only one possibility, that is, in the original arrangement, Chang Haonan accompanied Ding Gaoheng.
The director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense can be said to be the head of the entire national defense science and technology industry. Almost all the people without military status in the venue today are Ding Gaoheng's subordinates.
Chang Haonan seemed to have a close relationship with the latter.
This is serious.
People who have been deeply involved in the August 3rd Project, especially Yan Zhongcheng and others who went to 624 to do the turbojet 14 engine test, more or less know that Chang Haonan used an aviation industry standard to help the Science and Technology Commission win the entire civil It is a matter of jurisdiction over the aviation industry, so it is expected that he has a close relationship with the Science and Technology Commission system.
But it is one thing to have a close relationship with the Science and Technology and Industry Committee, and it is another thing to have a close relationship with the director of the Science and Technology and Industry Committee.
Furthermore, Ding Gaoheng has another level of identity—
Although Nie Shuai himself passed away four years ago, his influence in the military industry has not faded.
Yang Fenghao, Yan Zhongcheng and others are relatively calm and do not show their emotions easily, but when they look at Chang Haonan, they also look at Chang Haonan with a bit of different attention than in the past...
“Why, it shouldn't be too surprising that Comrade Xiao Chang came to attend this celebration, right?”
Ding Gaoheng used a slightly joking rhetorical question to put Zhong Shihong's little gaffe away.
The latter's mind was spinning fast enough, and he quickly added something:
“Of course not. On our way to the capital, Mr. Yang also said that if Comrade Chang Haonan was not present at the celebration related to the August 3rd Project, we couldn't even use chopsticks!”
He praised several people without leaving a trace in one sentence, and also changed the topic to Chang Haonan's contribution to the August 3rd Project. Yang Fenghata next to him also nodded. After all, he did say this:
“Yes, without Comrade Xiao Chang's outstanding contributions in wing design and aerodynamic improvements, the 83rd Project would have been delayed for another year or two.”
Yan Zhongcheng, whose facial muscles are relatively stiff due to an injury when he was young, can only maintain a serious face most of the time, also showed an extremely rare smile, and joined the lineup of praise for Chang Haonan:
“To be honest, I, the chief designer, have gone back and looked at Xiao Chang's improvements to the high-pressure compressor part of the turbojet 14 over and over again. I always see new things and learn new things every time.”
Although what they said was true, Chang Haonan had to be humble no matter what when facing this kind of scene;
"Mr. Yan's words are enough. The turbojet 14 can improve the performance of the current quasi-third-generation engine. It cannot be achieved by optimizing the high-pressure compressor alone. There is indeed potential in the combustion chamber and turbine. In this regard, at most I am standing on the shoulders of giants.”
The correct way to be humble is not to say that your own work is not important, but to say that the work of others is also important.
This is especially true when a big leader is around.
“Okay, this good celebration party will turn into a technical seminar again if you continue like this.”
Ding Gaoheng smiled and waved his hand, ended the routine opening of the compliment session with some words, then said that he still had something to do and turned to leave.
In order to prevent the conversation from getting cold feet, and more importantly, to satisfy his curiosity along the way, Chang Haonan took this opportunity to ask questions about the true purpose of the celebration.
"you do not know?"
Yang Fenghata and the others on the opposite side looked at each other:
“Last month, oh, on New Year's Eve to be precise, Deputy Division Commander Zheng Liangqun led a two-plane formation to successfully intercept and shoot down a MiG-25 reconnaissance aircraft on the west side of the Ladakh Mountains.”
“As it happens, Deputy Commander Zheng is here today. I can ask him to tell you the details of the battle after the celebration is over.”
Chang Haonan's eyes widened when he heard the news for the first time:
“Is there such a thing?”
No wonder they formed such a huge formation.
In the original timeline, the MiG-25s of the 102nd Squadron stationed at Parvatipur Air Force Base have always been China's major concern in the southwest plateau area.
The other party relied on the height and speed of its aircraft to repeatedly invade and even cross the airspace to conduct reconnaissance or simple provocation missions. Until those MiG-25s were retired due to disrepair, they did not encounter any effective interception means.
But now, with the technical support of Chang Haonan, the situation has obviously changed.
The triple-sonic squadron, which still thought it could rely on its high altitude and high speed to be invincible, finally encountered an opponent that could defeat them.
And the ace unit of the 1st Air Division is really good-looking, using two aircraft that the pilots are not completely familiar with to complete this shootdown that can be said to be proud of.
For Chang Haonan, although as a scientific researcher he cannot go into battle to kill the enemy personally, it is exciting enough that the aircraft he developed can participate in it.
What you want is a sense of participation.
“Not only that, you may not believe it even if you say it.”
Yang Fenghata, who has gray hair, is also very happy when he talks about this topic. For him, the J-8C's achievements are like his own children becoming famous, so he is naturally very happy:
“Because our pilot chose the right time to intercept, the speed and altitude of the MiG-25 had already dropped when it was shot down, so the pilot was still alive and the wreckage of the aircraft was relatively intact.”
“Plane wreckage…”
Chang Haonan touched his chin:
“The wreckage of the MiG-25 is nothing, but if it can be recovered, it would be a good commemoration. After all, it is the first victory of our aviation unit in nearly 30 years.”
Unexpectedly, Yang Fenghao shook his head and explained:
“Of course the MiG-25 itself is not important, but there is a very powerful electronic warfare and radar reconnaissance pod hung under that aircraft, an American product!”
Chang Haonan, who was a little unfazed just now, immediately became energetic:
“So that pod is now…”
Yang Fenghata showed a pure and happy smile that was somewhat inconsistent with his age:
“In our hands.”
