Warship of Great Power Chapter 318

  Chapter 318 Emboldens us Chinese with planes

   Time passed day by day.

   "It's not good, the old man is leaving!" On this day, in Wu Shengli's courtyard, a shocking news came.

  All the technology is finally finished, and finally the total price and payment method.

   This aspect is of course the biggest difference between the two sides.

  Just this morning, the two sides had the last round of talks, but they still failed to reach a consensus. At ten o'clock, everyone in Lao Maozi left the meeting room and went to the airport, preparing to take the special plane that took off at 12 o'clock and return to Moscow.

  Since the negotiation fails, let's not talk about it.

   They have already come to this point, and it would be unacceptable to end here.

  So, after hearing the news, both Wu Shengli and Lin Lao stood up.

   Only Qin Tao was still sitting.

   "Don't worry, the old man will come back." Qin Tao said: "They are playing the trick I played back then, but unfortunately, they will be disappointed."

  Whether it's shopping at a street stall or this kind of national-level negotiation, the principles are similar. If you can't make a deal, you can get the advantage once you are pulled back.

  It's a pity that the old man is about to miscalculate.

   "Old Maozi sent all the luggage on the plane, and that Grishin is very calm."

   "Taozi, are you really confident?"

  Hearing Wu Shengli's question, Qin Tao nodded: "If the old Maozi leave, I will be responsible for chasing them back. If they don't leave, then they have to follow our request."

   "Okay." Elder Lin nodded.

  Since Qin Tao has said so, then continue to wait.

  Time is passing by little by little.

   Eleven o'clock, half past eleven, twelve o'clock.

  When the hands pointed to twelve o'clock, everyone held their breath.

   "The old man unloaded the luggage, and that Grishin is back!"

  Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

   At four o'clock in the afternoon, the negotiation continued, and that Grishin seemed to be a different person. All the projects were carried out according to the requirements of the Chinese. He no longer insisted on the price!

   Moreover, even the engine overhaul line agreed.

  Lao Maozi's engines have a lifespan of only a few hundred hours, and they have to be dismantled for overhaul when they expire. If the overhaul line is not imported, these engines will need to be sent to Lao Maozi for repairs, which is another huge expense.

  Now, even if it is not imported into the production line of the engine, with the overhaul line, the maintenance of the engine can be guaranteed, which can save a lot of money.

  The whole project is completely beneficial to our side!

   "Taozi, you are simply amazing." Elder Lin was very satisfied with Qin Tao's judgment.

   "If they can't reach an agreement, go back directly, that Grishin won't survive tonight." Qin Tao said with a smile.

   Cut off people's wealth and kill their parents. If the deal was screwed up because of Grishin, then Sukhoi would lose their jobs and job opportunities, and Sukhoi would be damned if they didn't go to Grishin for their lives.

  Grishin just wants to earn more benefits for them, but he will definitely not mess up this business. He wanted to learn Qin Tao's trick, but it didn't work at all.

  Because, leaving Sukhoi, the East has other options, but if Sukhoi leaves China, he will lose a big customer.

   That night, the celebration banquet was held again. This time, Grishin was present at the banquet. His eyes searched around the banquet hall, avoiding the tall and thin Dionysus, and came to Qin Tao.

"President Qin, you are a very powerful person." Grishin raised his glass to Qin Tao: "I have never had any upper hand here. I know, you didn't leave, and you have been following the progress of this matter."

   "We are all for the benefit of our respective countries, but I hope that we can be friends in private." Qin Tao raised his glass.

  Grishin nodded: "Qin, you are the person I admire the most, you can be my friend!"

  Grishin is very picky, most people are not qualified to be his friend, but Qin Tao is different.

   "Then let's toast to friendship. In the future, we will definitely cooperate in more aspects."

  Da Mao has set up a special arms export company. In the future, even if Qin Tao wanders around in Da Mao's various companies, he will eventually have to sign the agreement through this export company. Therefore, he must also establish a good relationship with this person in front of him.

  Of course, what should be done in private, should be done in private.

"Yes, you just signed a contract for two Hyundai-class ships last time, and hope to continue to sign more Hyundai-class export contracts in the future." Grishin said, since he has become the person in charge of the company, he will Constantly seeking benefits for this company.

  Qin Tao nodded: "Then let's make a toast to our future cooperation!"

After    separated from Grishin, Qin Tao saw Gu Lao and the others again.

"Mr. Qin, thank you for your hard work for our cooperation." Mr. Gu raised his glass: "I will retire soon. Before I retire, I am very happy to see the conclusion of this cooperation. In the future, we Will produce more powerful J-11 heavy fighters for the motherland!"

"This is just the beginning. In the future, we will have J-15 and J-16. Our motherland will have heavy fighters of the powerful Sukhoi system, but," Qin Tao's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "At the same time There will still be many difficulties waiting for us. For example, according to the agreement, Lao Maozi will send us a large number of production drawings, but these drawings will have many problems. You need to solve this problem first.”

The drawings must be in Russian, and they need to be translated into Chinese. However, problems will follow. Lao Maozi's management is very lax, so some of the materials are missing, and some of the materials are stained. of.

  That's right, many materials stored in the warehouse of the Gongqingcheng Aircraft Factory are non-destructive. That warehouse has long been unguarded. As a result, it rained heavily once, and the roof leaked, and no one took care of it.

The old man didn't do it on purpose. Although during the negotiation, there were many confrontations, but after the negotiation was completed, the two parties still cooperated closely, and the missing information was supplemented at any time. Moreover, the experts from the old man worked together with several experts. Just like ten years ago, he was meticulously directed in the factory until the aircraft was fully assembled.

   "Boss Qin, we are ready!" Sun Cong said from the side: "No matter what difficulties we have, we can't stop us!"

Mr. Gu also nodded: "Yes, we are prepared for these problems, but the first thing to do now is that we need to transport all the drawings as soon as possible, so I would like to invite your air transportation company The An-225 that we are working on is dispatched, so it is enough to fly one sortie."

   "Of course." Qin Tao nodded immediately: "I'll call the air transportation company and give you the lowest price."

   After the An-225 was purchased, the first commercial transport flight began.

  Qin Tao didn't participate in these things. If he had to do everything himself, he would be exhausted.

  Qin Tao was just a companion of Wu Shengli, Lin Lao and others, and they took a special plane together to go to the Land of Abundance.

"This Tu-104 airliner is pretty good. It is much more comfortable than our other transport planes. Taozi, if you have a chance in the future, buy some for our air force." Mr. Lin sat on this special plane with refurbished interiors. , said very emotionally.

  At the beginning, all the planes that Qin Tao got back were given to the navy. Some were used as maritime reconnaissance planes, and some were used as transport planes. This plane became a tool for naval officers to travel.

   "Old Lin, do you still like this kind of aircraft?" Wu Shengli smiled: "Your air force is rich and powerful."

  “Good steel must be used wisely, and money must be spent where it should be spent.”

   "Why do I hear you say this sourly, are you mocking us for not spending money on key areas?"

  Everyone laughed.

  During the relaxed and happy flight, the special plane landed on the runway of Factory 132. When everyone came down, they saw a yellow-skinned plane appearing there, and a large group of people surrounded the plane.

  Qin Tao's breathing also became inexplicably rapid. He didn't expect that he could actually see this plane!

Ordinary aircraft, the rear of the nose is the wing, and the last is a small-area tail, but now, the rear of this aircraft is a large-area main wing, and the front of the wing is a pair of small canards, like It is the same as swapping the wings and tail of the normal layout of the aircraft.

   This is the duck layout, the current trend of this era, if the Red Empire does not collapse, the MiG 1.44 can be repaired to a positive result, allowing this model to show its power.

   In Europe, Typhoon, Rafale, and Gripen all use this aerodynamic layout without exception.

  It adopts the belly air intake method, and the nose is also pulled up to a height like the Su-27 series aircraft. The rear fuselage has a beautiful curve, which is the result of modification.

   "The air intake has been changed!" Elder Lin said.

   "If the engine is changed, it must be modified." Wu Shengli echoed.

  Seeing that they were all walking over, Qin Tao had to follow of course, and no one stopped him anyway.

  When the No. 10 project was just started, it was planned to use turbofan 10, but the progress of this engine was slow. Therefore, under Qin Tao's suggestion, Mr. Song made up his mind and chose the AL-31F engine.

Compared with the former, the air intake flow of the engine is larger, so the air intake must be widened. Therefore, the pitot-type air intake similar to the F-16 has also changed into a rectangular structure with an opening The bigger it is, the more air it **** in.

  However, the corresponding strength must also be increased, so a few vertical sticks were deliberately added above the air intake, because of these things, J-10 was once nicknamed a villain.

   At this time, Qin Tao joined in the fun and walked to the front together, and then heard someone talking inside.

   "In these years, you have worked quietly, silently, and persistently day and night here, and have made great progress... This aircraft is an aircraft that emboldens us Chinese!"

  Great leader? Qin Tao never dreamed that he would run into a big leader here.

  Of course, here, Qin Tao can only obediently be an audience, and he dare not push forward.

   Moreover, he also discovered that he was able to easily come to the front of the crowd, on the one hand because he followed Wu Shengli and Lin Lao, and on the other hand, because of his personal secretary.

Since Xu Zhengyang became Qin Tao's secretary, he has been following him. Wherever Qin Tao goes, Xu Zhengyang will go there. When he just came here, he met a few security guards outside, and Xu Zhengyang seemed to have a fight with them. call.

   At this time, there was a burst of applause.

"Thank you for the support of the leader!" Mr. Song said there: "We will definitely remember the leader's entrustment and complete the first flight of this aircraft as soon as possible! The Su-27 does have excellent performance, but compared with the J-10, its performance is different. Long, the Su-27 cannot replace the J-10, and the two need to cooperate with each other."

   "That's right, no matter how good the Su-27 is, it's someone else's child, and our J-10 is our own child!" At this time, Elder Lin had already walked into the crowd and started talking.

  Elder Song looked at Elder Lin gratefully.

  Since the introduction of the Su-27, there have been voices in China: Why are you still working on the No. 10 project? That money might as well be used to buy a few more Su-27s!

   At that time, there was a lot of pressure on the 601 Institute, but Mr. Lin always supported them.

  When he learned that the metal prototype had been manufactured, Mr. Lin immediately brought a large number of air force generals to observe it, and he even introduced it to them personally.

  J-10 wanted to manufacture the first aircraft, and Mr. Lin even supported it. With his encouragement, the Air Force provided enough funds to manufacture the yellow leather prototype in front of us. This aircraft can already fly at any time!

Now, the country has negotiated the import of the Su-27 production line. In the past ten years, two hundred Su-27s will be produced, which puts more pressure on the 601 Institute. However, the Air Force is still supporting the J-10. Today Well, the big leader even came over to inspect the air base of the Land of Abundance in person, and even gave a speech here!

  Behind him was Huang Pi's Jianshi. The leader stood in front of the microphone with a smile on his face. These words still echoed in Song Lao's mind.

   This plane is a plane that emboldens us Chinese!

   Now, Mr. Lin said again, no matter how good the Su-27 is, it is someone else's child, and J-10 is his own child!

  Qin Tao was watching quietly. He knew that this moment was not as unforgettable as the first flight, but it was very important to the people here.

  Qin Tao continued to look at the yellow plane.

  This aircraft has been built, but it will not be able to fly immediately. Before the first flight, a lot of roll tests will be carried out. Now it should be in the roll test phase.

  The big leader who was doing a lot of work every day left, and the others relaxed. A pilot with a flight cap in his hand was discussing with several people.

   "The problem of running off track has been solved. However, it is still not possible to do high-speed taxiing experiments in the future. After all, our runway here is not long enough!"

   "That's right, Lei Zi, you are right. We are thinking about sending the plane to other airports for test flights."

   "What? Mr. Zhou, this can't be done! Our plane can't fly yet, how can we send it to another airport? Disassemble it and drag it there? No, absolutely not!"

   "Oh, this is an endless loop."

  The pilot named Lei Zi must be the chief test pilot of the J-10, and Mr. Zhou is the chief flight test engineer of the J-10 with gray hair. At this moment, they are discussing the next stage of the test flight mission.

   After the aircraft is built, it cannot fly directly. The first project is the aircraft-in-the-loop experiment. That is to pressurize and energize the aircraft, and then start operating in the cockpit. A visual simulation display screen is placed in front of the aircraft. When the pilot operates the aircraft, the rudder surface changes according to the design rules, and the skyline and other scenery displayed on the screen change accordingly. Conduct a pre-flight simulation to check whether the aircraft can be controlled normally.

  These are done in the workshop, and when these are finished, it is time to drag the plane out and conduct the sliding test.

  It is divided into three types: low speed, medium speed and high speed.

  Low-speed taxiing is to treat the aircraft as a tricycle and check the flexibility of taxiing on the ground, such as from the apron to the runway and back again.

  After the inspection, it's time for the medium-speed taxiing test. The speed is below 100 kilometers per hour, mainly to see the aircraft's deviation correction ability.

   In this project, J-10 encountered a big problem. Every time it rolled, it went off track. After finding a lot of problems and doing various researches, it was just solved.

   Next, it's time to taxi at high speed.

  For this high-speed taxiing, to let the aircraft reach the take-off speed, lift the front wheel of the aircraft, and then increase the throttle to fly into the sky, but at this time, it is not possible.

  This requires a sufficient length of the runway, not only to taxi to the take-off state, but also to slow down and stop.

  The runway in front of you is fine for takeoff and landing, but if you take off and then land, it's not long enough.

  The plane can't take off yet, so if you want to transfer, you have to disassemble it. Isn't this too complicated?

   "This is simple. When taxiing, you can lift the nose of the aircraft by reducing the throttle."

  Hearing this suggestion, everyone turned their heads and looked over curiously. This is clearly a layman!

  The aircraft needs to speed up to the nose-up state as soon as possible. It should be the gas pedal. How can it be retracted?

  However, Lei Zi seemed to be suddenly enlightened: "That's right, if we want to pull the nose, we have to reduce the throttle, which can reduce the reaction force of the engine!"

Pull up the nose, and the nozzle of the engine will rush to the ground. In this way, the thrust will make the plane bow, so accelerate first, and when pulling the lever, close the throttle to reduce the thrust of the engine, so that the nose will rise up.

   This test is mainly to verify the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft, and verify whether the rudder surface can tilt the nose up, as long as this step can be completed!

   "I suggest, we can give it a try!"

   Lei Zi's eyes were already full of energy.

   At this time, Wu Shengli, Mr. Lin and the others were still chatting with Mr. Song. When the roar of the engine sounded on the runway, everyone looked over in surprise.

   "Old Song, what kind of flight test is this?" Elder Lin asked Elder Song.

   "Now we are conducting a high-speed sliding experiment. The purpose of this experiment is to raise the front wheel and then put it down again. However, our runway is not long enough, so..."

  Elder Song opened his mouth wide before he finished speaking. He was surprised to see the J-10 fighter plane taxiing at high speed. The front wheels were being raised high. The whole plane looked like a duck with its wings spread!

   Lifted?

   This lifts up? How did you do it?

  The J-10 fighter lifted its front wheels, slid forward for more than ten meters, then dropped its front wheels, and stopped at the end of the runway.

  Everyone rushed over.

  The difficulty of high-speed taxiing has been solved, and next, they should be ready for the first flight!

   "President Qin's suggestion is really amazing!"

  When he heard that it was Qin Tao's proposal, Elder Song became emotional.

   "I just mentioned it casually, Lei Zi is the most powerful, and Lei Zi is the biggest contributor. If he didn't decide to try it, then my proposal would be useless."

   This was originally the credit of Lei Zi, Qin Tao just said it casually.

   "Great, today, all the leaders are here, let's celebrate!"

   "Well, Mr. Song, you better not spend too much money, we are here just to take a look at this plane." Qin Tao said.

   These words hurt people's self-esteem a bit, but after Mr. Song heard it, he didn't feel unhappy at all.

   "Then you are here to see Jian Thirty-one? I heard that the progress there is also good. Come on, let's take a look together."

  In Institute 601, two projects are being carried out simultaneously. In addition to the J-10, which is about to start its first flight, there is also the J-31 project!

  If it's just the J-10, there's no need for Wu Shengli to come and see it, because the navy has no plans to purchase the J-10 at all. They came here mainly to see the J-31.

  For an aircraft, the development progress not only depends on technology, but also depends on funds. The slow progress of the J-10 has a lot to do with the lack of funds.

Projects like the J-31 should have been short of funds, but under Qin Tao's promotion, the Navy dominated the business of Parthia, and the money came rushing in, even if only part of it was allocated The introduction of the J-31 project can also promote the rapid development of this project.

   "How far has this project progressed?" Elder Lin asked curiously.

   "In the electromagnetic laboratory, the stealth shape test has been completed. After calculation, its RCS value has been reduced to about 0.5 square meters, which is an order of magnitude lower than our existing aircraft."

   "What? Doesn't that mean it's the same as a small civilian aircraft?" Elder Lin immediately became excited: "The distance detected by radar can be reduced by at least half!"

  Now, the Su-27 series of fighter jets did not consider the need for stealth at all when they were developed. Therefore, the radar reflection area of ​​this type of aircraft is as high as five square meters, and they will be spotted by the opposite radar from a long distance.

   From five square meters to 0.5 square meters, this is definitely a huge leap!

  Qin Tao glanced at the people around him, so happy? We don't have a stealth coating for the time being. After we have a wave-absorbing coating, it can be reduced by another order of magnitude, and it is possible to reach 0.05.
