The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 641

Chapter 641 “After the turbofan 10 is finalized”

 “Things to put pressure on the Kingdom of David must indeed be done.”

After being silent for a long time, Ding Gaoheng lit a cigarette again and said, which was the final word:

“However, from our perspective, we must also be prepared that the entire ring project will not be able to proceed.”

 Generally speaking, by the time he expresses his stance, the meeting has basically entered the final stage.

 At most there will be some detailed corrections.

 But this time, after he made his statement, there were only a few people at the scene.

  It's not that everyone has any different opinions on this, it's just that they were simply shocked by such a big plot twist.

There is quite a sense of beauty when playing chess, the opponent will make a normal move, and you will be blown away with the table and the chessboard, and then another American Iai Slash will kill someone else.

After all, normally speaking, even if it is possible that the project will fail, there should be a period of delay in the middle.

 In fact, judging from the experience of past cooperation, 80% of the city has turned around.

“Now they have not directly stated that they want to terminate the project, but they are just leaving a bait hanging on our side.”

 Finally, I have worked with Ding Gaoheng for the longest time, and although he holds the title of deputy director, his level is actually the same as the former. Zhang Dongxu was the first to come to his senses:

 But in the end, the transaction was still completed normally.

Ding Gaoheng replied almost without hesitation:

“In this case, we can definitely think that David was not prepared to complete the ring project at all.”

Although he had heard Chang Haonan's analysis of the ring project, he did not listen to everything compared to Ding Gaoheng.

 “Definitely not early.”

“So, we have to use our tactics to deal with each other, and on the other hand, we must use the fastest speed to apply for allocating subsequent resources to domestic models!”

 In fact. Before today, he had a conservative attitude towards Chang Haonan's previous words.

This has nothing to do with trust or not.

Although the country's foreign exchange reserves have been filled up a lot in the past two years, they are not to the point of not taking so much money seriously.

Furthermore, if the table is turned over just like that, even if the 350 million yuan paid in advance can be recovered, it will definitely take a long time to negotiate.

 So on the one hand, I can understand the brain circuit of the other party making such a radical decision, but on the other hand, I can't help but feel a little pity like everyone else.

Even Huai Guomo was a little confused.

Except for Huai Guomo, the other two deputy directors had little contact with Chang Haonan before. They had met a few times during the previous leadership team expansion meeting, so naturally they didn't know Ding Gaoheng's ideas.

 It is impossible for him to make a 180° change just because of someone's words.

 So we made two preparations. On the one hand, we narrowed the threshold of psychological expectations for the Ring Project. On the other hand, we allocated some resources to the Air Police 200 project so that we would have a backup in case something went wrong.

 Mainly because the matter is big.

“Director Ding, although we have to prepare for the best and plan for the worst, is it a little too early for us to plan for the worst?”

Just like when airborne equipment was introduced from Western countries in order to develop the J-7M and Qiang 5C, a similar situation occurred.

 At this point, he paused for a moment, and his eyes calmly scanned the crowd in the conference room in front of him:

“The plan is to put us in a dilemma, not to be willing to part with the sunk cost of 350 million US dollars, and to waste as much time as possible.”

 Even if this person is Chang Haonan.

However, what is happening now proves that the other party's concerns at the time were completely accurate.

Moreover, all the details can be matched!

This made Ding Gaoheng couldn't help but recall the first time he had a phone call with Chang Haonan two years ago.

 At that time, we even contacted the other party through Du Yishan.

 Almost the same plot.

 It's just that the content of the discussion between the two at that time was the development route of China's aviation industry.

 Later, it was also through Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas that Chang Haonan's idea was completely correct.

Two years have passed now, what's the result...

 Needless to mention it.

Who would have dared to imagine before that a European aviation company would take the initiative to seek cooperation?

Who dares to imagine that China can achieve reciprocal and mutual recognition of airworthiness certification with Europe and the United States?

 The results have now been realized.

In this case, with the opponent's ambitions already half-clarified, Ding Gaoheng's balance has naturally tilted...

At this critical moment, Huai Guomo also figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing. He first broke the silence and expressed his support for Ding Gaoheng's idea:

"Everyone, looking back at our foreign cooperation projects in the past few years, all the projects that were ultimately successful, whether it was M60 or Project 11, were the result of mutual reliance on each other. To put it bluntly, that is Holding each other's lives tightly."

"But the ring project, although it is still an equal cooperation in name, in fact, we are only paying for it. Although the unit price of 350 million US dollars per aircraft is high, after all, Elta is not on the verge of exhaustion like Tupolev. "In other words, in this project, we have no chips other than flipping the table. In other words, there is no possibility of gambling. "

“So, I think what Director Ding just said makes sense.”

This kind of internal meeting is not entirely a one-word meeting.

 But now that the director and the first deputy director are on the same side, there really is little room for others to operate.

What's more, the explanations given by the two people, especially Huai Guomo, who just laid out the facts and made sense, are still convincing.

 Zhang Dongxu, who was hesitant just now, also followed the good advice and no longer insisted on his own opinions:

“Then…if the Kingdom of David resorts to procrastination, how should we operate to completely decouple from the other party as soon as possible?”

 The decision-making level for the Ring Project is so high that even Ding Gaoheng cannot fully make the decision.

 So what he just said was just "be prepared to be unable to proceed."

 Concerning this issue, Ding Gaoheng has already had a draft in his mind:

“In the middle of last year, after the embankment construction operation ended, we launched the Air Police 200 project based on the Y-8 platform at the suggestion of Comrade Chang Haonan. Comrade Haonan personally participated in part of the design work at that time.”

“However, because it has always been a backup project, the resources allocated are relatively limited, and it has not yet reached the stage of test flight.”

"First, let's divert some of the resources in our hands. Anyway, if the David Kingdom continues to delay like this, we don't have to pay for the next node. As long as the 14th Institute of Electrical Engineering and the Air Police 200 of Shaanxi Aircraft can take the lead in the first flight. When the efficiency of the two sides is compared, the gap will be immediately apparent, and the superiors will naturally have confidence in the independent model. "

This arrangement was basically seamless, so it was quickly unanimously approved.

However, after the vote was passed, some people still raised doubts:

"Director Dante, after all, the Ring Project uses an IL-76 to modify an early warning aircraft. If the Air Police 200 is a Y-8 platform... then there should be no way to completely replace it regardless of the size of the radar equipped, or the range and airtime. "

 After the decision was made, Ding Gaoheng finally relaxed a little.

 But what follows is the tiredness that has just been blocked by the senses.

  After all, he is also a person rushing to reach 70 years old.

 So he nodded while packing his things:

“In the long run, we will naturally need a larger platform.”

“But the most urgent task is to prove through the relatively short and quick project of Air Police 200 that we can build our own early warning aircraft without the need for David.”

 After the meeting, Huai Guomo, who knew more about the situation, followed Ding Gaoheng's footsteps:

“Old Ding, I think you have further ideas, right?”

At this time, he had left the conference room, and the cool breeze in the autumn night had relieved a lot of the sleepiness he had just felt.

 “It is true, but it cannot be regarded as mine.”

 He replied simply:

“When we made the decision to introduce the Tu-214 passenger aircraft as the C909 model before, Xiao Chang mentioned that the 110-ton model is very suitable as a platform for special aircraft including early warning aircraft.”

"It was only the end of 1996, and the contract for the ring project had not even been officially signed, so I just thought it was a casual comment. But thinking about it now, I am afraid that he has been planning for us to independently develop an early warning aircraft since then... "

 Happy for the country, don't be speechless for a moment.

Chang Haonan almost took care of everything.

After a short pause, Ding Gaoheng waved his hand again, and then changed the topic:

 “But this matter cannot be rushed.”

“The two projects that Xiao Chang is currently working on are at a critical period, especially the Turbofan 10, which will be the core of our country's main equipment for at least the next twenty years. We will definitely not be able to allocate our energy at this time.”

 Haiguo Mo immediately understood:

“That...means to wait until the turbofan 10 is finalized...”

"right."

Ding Gaoheng, who had guessed his idea, nodded slightly:

“Let's lay out relevant resources first, and then let him take over this large-scale early warning aircraft project after the Turbofan 10 is finalized.”

Hearing this arrangement, Huai Guomo showed a hint of joy, but then he seemed to think of something:

“However, the turbofan 10 is not inferior to the turbojet 14 which was already in service. It fell down after it was finalized. We must continue to improve it. Xiao Chang...can he really let go?"

 “Is this...”

Ding Gaoheng raised his head and looked at the crescent moon in the sky:

"According to Xiao Chang's statement in the project progress report, the core engine of the Turbofan 10 only needs a few improvements to become a genuine fourth-generation engine. However, our country's material level and production process are too lacking. , many places are reluctant to even produce third-generation engines, so they compromise on producing such a third-generation and half-performance turbofan 10.”

"So major follow-up improvements will probably have to wait for the previous stage before the project can be officially launched. As for the small improvements based directly on the turbofan 10... I think Xiao Chang has concentrated more than half of the country's aerospace research efforts on it. The competition is definitely meant to train talents through the project, and it should not require his direct participation. "

 “So, it shouldn't be a problem!”
