Warship of Great Power Chapter 592

  Chapter 592 The old Maozi lion opened his mouth? We rely on ourselves!

   Buying an airplane?

"Mr. Yemelyanov, you probably don't know that our current J-15 is for the navy. If there is a problem, if we want to solve it, we will use the navy's funds. If we want to purchase the Su-35, The navy will not want it, it can only be used by the air force, and our air force has no plan to update its equipment. Therefore, this plan is not feasible, think about it again, is there any other way?" Li Ming was very pleased Responding quickly, explained like this.

"Yes, this is also a problem." Yemelyanov nodded: "We originally wanted to sell you the most advanced fighter jet in the country. Since you don't want it, then we will change it to a two-seater fighter-bomber. How about the Su-30?"

Using the funds from the Su-27 export, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has improved the two-seater fighter-bomber Su-30. There are many types of this aircraft. The -27 is the same as the two-seater, the one exported to Ah San is taller, not only has canards on the front, but also a vector nozzle on the back, although it only has a lifespan of 30 hours, although it is purely manual, Ah San still has Satisfied, their Su-30 has a much higher performance than Dongfang's!

Now, the Su-30 modified by the Sukhoi Design Bureau has a canard layout. They want to sell this aircraft to the East, so that they can continue to make a lot of money. Moreover, they have made up their minds Idea, this time pure export, the production line can no longer be exported! So as not to be learned by the Orientals again.

  There is nothing to say this time, the navy also needs powerful fighter-bombers, especially fighter-bombers with a long range! Su-30 is the best choice for the navy!

"As long as your navy purchases 40 Su-30s, we will solve the flight control problem for you. In fact, you have an easier way, which is to purchase Su-33s directly from us." Yemelyan Nove is extremely refreshing.

In the past, the Orientals imitated the J-15, and the Sukhoi Design Bureau was very angry. Yemelyanov even came to criticize it angrily, but it didn't make any sense. The Orientals threatened to replace all the parts. , no longer rely on the Sukhoi Design Bureau.

What now? If something goes wrong, don't you still have to ask for help? Since you are asking for help, you have to agree to the request of the Sukhoi Design Bureau!

  Emelyanov has decided on the Orientals. The order of 40 planes is too precious to Da Mao. With this fund, the development of their new fighter jets will be smoother!

   "Is there no other solution?"

"Of course not. If you only want to invite a few of our experts to help solve it, it is absolutely impossible." Yemelyanov resolutely rejected the request of several people: "You can only buy fighter jets." You also know that we have been very lenient towards your imitation behavior."

  Sun Cong had no other choice but to rush back to Huangdi Village. It was already late at night, and instead of reporting to Wu Shengli, Sun Cong first introduced these plans to Luo Yang and others.

   "Isn't this old man too cruel?" Hearing this request, everyone exploded.

   "Forty aircraft, each at least 50 million or more, that's 2 billion US dollars, or even more expensive, where did the Navy get so much money!"

   "That's right, they decided that we don't have the ability to solve the technology, so they asked us to spend a lot of money to purchase!"

  They thought about it, and they would be yelled at by the old Maozi, but what they thought was that the old Maozi asked for tens of millions of dollars in technical consulting fees. Now this kind of request of billions of dollars is really too much!

  Sun hurriedly said: "Actually, our navy does need a batch of fighter-bombers. If the navy can purchase a batch, we can also survey and map the technology on it. It will be easier for us to develop a two-seat fighter-bomber by ourselves."

"If the navy wants to purchase, it means that the navy first has an intention, then goes through systematic demonstrations, and finally purchases. Our navy has to be proactive. If we buy passively like this now, if it gets out, won't the navy be laughed at in the future? Luo Yang said: "And, what about us? Because of our own incompetence, the Navy was forced to purchase a batch of fighter jets. Do we still have face? There is no need to report this news to the Navy! If the Navy is forced to do so , I would rather resign than be angry with this!"

  Luo Yang's attitude is very firm.

   "If we don't do this, what can we do?" Sun Cong asked.

   "Find the 611 and ask them for help. Even if we are in competition, the 611 is our country and our own people! We solve the problem by ourselves, and don't let old men take advantage of us!"

  Sun Zhui sighed: "Yeah, that's the only way to go at the moment. I hope the technical experts from Institute 611 can find the cause of the failure for us."

  The telegram asking for help was sent out in the middle of the night. In the evening of the next day, experts from the 611 Institute arrived at the base in Huangdi Village, led by Yang Wei, a young man from the 611 Institute.

   "Mr. Yang, thank you for coming to help." Luo Yang greeted him: "We have been unable to find the program bug, and I hope you can help solve it."

   "This aircraft is related to the Navy's aircraft carrier power. We will definitely go all out. Now, please give us the flight control law."

  Hearing Yang Wei's words, the people present were a little embarrassed: "Mr. Yang, we haven't fully understood the flight control law yet."

What?

  Yang Wei looked at everyone in surprise: "If you don't understand it, how did you write the flight control software?"

   "We just transplanted the flight control software on the prototype and made simple modifications."

  Yang Wei frowned: "This is troublesome."

Americans don't touch the canard layout. On the one hand, the engine is powerful. On the other hand, it is also because the control of the canard layout is not linear. It is difficult to write the flight control system. The 611 can surrender the J-10 because they have blown the wind for N years. Hole, he has already understood the flight control law thoroughly. In the later stage, a lot of experiments were done on the iron bird test bed, and they strived to be foolproof. The first flight of the J-10 was statically unstable, which fully reflected their technical skills.

   However, other units will not work.

  The Su-27 fighter jet is still too big for Institute 601. Although they have worked hard, they still haven't fully grasped its flight control in a short time.

  Their failure investigations are only looking for software defects, but they are not linked to the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft. Finding the cause of the failure in this way is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

   "Mr. Yang, what shall we do now?" Sun Cong asked.

   "With its model, let's go to the blowing hole."

What?

  Everyone was dumbfounded.

   "Mr. Yang, this is a temporary cramming! Is it too late for us to go to the blowing cave?"

   "Yes, how long will this delay?"

   Everyone is unwilling.

"Everyone, if you want to find out why the plane suddenly pitched up, you have to study the situation at that time. We don't need to blow the comprehensive wind tunnel data. We just need to blow the situation at that time, simulate it, and then compare it with the flight control data. Find out what happened, since you can't find the cause of the malfunction, then we're here, our eyes are darkened, and we can't find it!" Yang Wei explained.

  Everyone was a little silent.

As soon as Yang Wei came, he proposed a fault finding route completely different from theirs. Moreover, if you think about it carefully, this route is really more thoughtful than theirs. It is meaningless to continue to check the code. It is better to blow a blowhole. Look through the blow hole to identify the problem.

   "Okay, then let's go to the blowing hole!"

  The location of the accident investigation was transferred from Huangdi Village to the Wind Tunnel.

  If you want to develop an aircraft, you must have a wind tunnel. Due to the blockade of the West, the country was forced to build a large number of wind tunnels. In later generations, it even became the number one in the world. Since the landing speed of the aircraft carrier is not very fast, there is no need for a special hypersonic wind tunnel, just go back to Shenyang directly.

  In 1960, FL-1, the first supersonic wind tunnel in China, was put into use in Shenyang Aerodynamic Research Institute. Hundreds of products have been tested countless times in this wind tunnel.

  Now, this wind tunnel once again welcomes a special guest, a scaled-down fighter plane model was put in, and the situation at that time began to be simulated.

  Yang Wei put his heart and soul into it. Although he is not familiar with the Su-27 fighter jet, he is familiar with the fly-by-wire flight control. As long as he blows out the data and combines it with the feedback from the fly-by-wire system, he can better find the cause of the failure.

   Don't worry about this, he has enough patience.

  However, Lao Maozi couldn't sit still.

   "President Li, how is your navy thinking?" Yemelyanov came to Li Ming's office again and asked him.

"The Navy is still in a meeting. After all, your request is too sudden. It is not easy to spend such a large sum of money. It must go through a lot of investigation and demonstration. It is very likely that we still need to send someone to your place. investigation." Li Ming said: "Please don't worry."

   "Aren't your navy in a hurry? All your J-15s have been grounded!" Yemelyanov said.

   This kind of thing is not known to the outside world, but for people in related industries, they can quickly find out the clues. As long as a reconnaissance satellite scans the sky, they will know.

   "The navy is also in a hurry." Li Ming said: "If you lower your requirements, for example, let us purchase two Su-35s first, I think the navy will approve it immediately."

  Two? Of course two will not work! If the Orientals only purchased two, there must be a conspiracy! It must be imitation for surveying and mapping!

   "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, old friend, you are too anxious." At this moment, a voice came from outside.

  Hearing the voice, Yemelyanov turned his head and saw a familiar figure.

   "Boss Qin?"

  Qin Tao has completed his inspection of the Shuangyang factory and arranged various things. After returning, he heard that the investigation of the accident has not been completed, so he came over to join in the fun.

  Wu Shengli and Qin Tao came together, but they had already run to the wind tunnel. Qin Tao came alone and just overheard the conversation inside.

   "You are so anxious, are you planning to use this money as research and development funds to develop a brand new fighter?" Qin Tao said with a smile.

"Mr. Qin, in front of you, I will not hide it. The plan you proposed last time is very good. It allows us to upgrade to the stealth machine in the simplest way. Therefore, we want to carry out such a transformation, but we must Spend a lot of money on research and development."

"Have you considered international cooperation?" Qin Tao continued without giving the other party more time to think: "For example, if you cooperate with us, let us jointly complete the research and development of new fighters and share technology. When the time comes, We can equip together, which is very popular in Europe."

   Li Ming's eyes widened, Mr. Qin is too powerful, this suggestion is great!

601 is trying to understand the technology of the Su-27, but this world-advanced fighter far exceeds their research and development capabilities, so the progress is slow. Now, if we cooperate with Da Mao, then we can learn from it Got a lot of useful experience.

   Having mastered various technologies during research and development, the 601 Institute will be able to simultaneously transition to the level of the fourth-generation aircraft at once.

"That's right." Li Ming nodded: "At present, we each have our own strengths in technology. You have technology in airframe and flight control, and we are very advanced in avionics, such as flat-panel slot radar, glass cockpit, etc. , together we can best complete this project!"

  Although Da Mao's aerodynamic design is excellent, the avionics are a mess. It's best for the two parties to cooperate and get what they need.

These suggestions, like a cannonball, left Yemelyanov with a very short time, but Yemelyanov did not hesitate at all, and immediately shook his head: "No, no, if you want to cooperate, We cannot have the kind of cooperation that Europe has."

  European fighter planes are all jointly developed and technology shared. For Da Mao, this kind of cooperation is absolutely not acceptable!

   "Really? Then what kind of cooperation method do you plan to use?" Qin Tao asked curiously.

   "You provide the funds, we provide the technology, and when the research and development is completed, you can order from us at the most favorable price!"

  Qin Tao shook his head with a smile. This old man is indeed a chicken thief. Even if he suggested so quickly, he didn't give the other party any breathing time, and the other party was not fooled. Such a firm attitude is a model of upholding principles.

   "We can't accept this method. It's not bad for you to fool Ah San." Qin Tao was also straightforward.

  Your side has paid for it, but you can't get any technology, and you have to order it in the end, so what is your side planning?

  Only people like Ah San would be fooled.

   "Thank you Mr. Qin, your suggestion is good!" Yemelyanov actually followed Qin Tao's suggestion!

  I didn't give advice to the other party, I just said it casually, and Qin Tao was speechless.

   "Since you have listened to my suggestion, what are you going to do for me?" Qin Tao continued to ask.

Now it's Yemelyanov's turn to be embarrassed. He thought for a while, and then said: "You want to purchase Tu-22M. There are many voices of opposition in this matter. Our Sukhoi Design Bureau is willing to fully support you. .”

   It doesn't cost money to talk about it. Hearing what the other party said, Qin Tao was also a little emotional. The old man has been in the East for a long time, so he has learned badly! Learned the style of the East.

However, since we are talking about this matter, then Qin Tao has to inquire about it: "The Tu-22M is not an advanced stealth bomber. This kind of aircraft has long been outdated. You have a large number of second-hand aircraft, so it is good to leave them alone." Gradually turning into scrap iron, and selling it to make money, what do these people who oppose it think?"

   "They believe that this kind of bomber with ultrlow-altitude flight capabilities will pose a threat to us." Yemelyanov said: "It has a large ammunition load and a long range."

   "If we want to purchase, what we need most is a naval bomber, a model that carries anti-ship missiles to attack the aircraft carrier fleet. This kind of bomber that specializes in attacking the sea should dispel some people's ideas, right?"

Yemelyanov thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, if this is the case, it will indeed reassure some people. In fact, the Tu-22M is already outdated. If you want to purchase bombers, we will The Su-30 is also good. And with the Su-30, there is no need for fighter escort, and it can still fight in the air when encountering enemy fighters, and its performance is no worse than that of the Tu-22M.”

"But your planes are expensive." Qin Tao said, "The Tu-22M is a second-hand product, and the price will definitely be much cheaper. Now that our military expenditures are tight, we simply cannot invest in purchasing the Su-30. You should be aware of this. , We will not consider this kind of fighter-bomber until our domestic third-generation aircraft fleet has expanded to a certain extent. Please rest assured that if we want to choose foreign fighter-bombers, the Su-30 is our only choice."

   Yemelyanov nodded.

   "You're talking dry, Mr. Yemelyanov, how about we go have a glass of wine?" Qin Tao suggested.

   Yemelyanov nodded: "Okay, Mr. Qin, we haven't had a drink together for a long time."

  After drinking a meal, Yemelyanov went back to work in Factory 112 with satisfaction, while Qin Tao continued to communicate with Li Ming and others.

   "Mr. Qin, please rest assured that the team we sent out will definitely be able to find out the cause of the accident." Li Ming knew that Qin Tao came here for this matter, and immediately made a promise.

  Qin Tao nodded: "Some people say that our J-31A project will compete with J-15, Mr. Li, what do you think?"

Li Ming's expression hesitated for a moment. He didn't know what Qin Tao's purpose was. After a little hesitation, he said, "Our J-15 project was promoted by Mr. Qin. Without you, we wouldn't have It is impossible to get involved in the carrier-based aircraft project. Many difficulties encountered in the research and development process were also overcome by Mingzhou Group. Therefore, even if the J-31A is to replace our J-15, we have no opinion .”

  Qin Tao shook his head: "I'm not talking about this, Mr. Li, analyze it from a technical point of view!"

  Technical perspective?

  Li Ming thought for a while, and tentatively said: "Our J-15 is only the third-generation aircraft, and the J-31A is already the fourth-generation aircraft, so..."

  Qin Tao reminded him several times in a row, but the other party failed to understand, so Qin Tao simply gave up this persuasion and went straight to the point: "Mr. Li, which one is more suitable for our navy, heavy fighter or medium fighter?"

   Heavy and Medium?

  "The Americans are gradually eliminating the Tomcat fighter. The F-18 that will replace it should be a medium-sized fighter. Lao Maozi also intends to use the MiG-29K to replace the Su-33..."

  Qin Tao shook his head again: "No, I'm talking about our navy."

  Our navy?

  Li Ming looked at Qin Tao with some surprise: "Our navy currently only has one aircraft carrier. In terms of quantity and quality, quality should be more important?"

   After being rejected several times in a row, Li Ming gradually discovered Qin Tao's purpose, and he was secretly happy.

"A heavy-duty fighter's time in the air and the amount of ammunition it carries far exceed that of a medium-sized fighter, and the number of take-offs and landings can be reduced. For our navy, the J-15 is currently the best choice, even if When it comes to catapult-type fighters, heavy aircraft still have a comprehensive advantage." Qin Tao said: "Now, for you, you don't need to consider whether the navy will eliminate the J-15. This is completely unfounded, and you need to concentrate on Improve the J-15 and make it more powerful!"

   "President Qin, please don't worry!" Li Ming was very happy, a big stone in his heart was let go!

Recently, the J-31A has been making frequent moves, and the test flight is very smooth. It is expected to be put into production in two years. The J-31A was built in the past, and it was planned to be a test aircraft for catapult take-off. Under such circumstances, countless people speculated that the Navy is going to give up the J-15?

   After all, the J-15 is a third-generation aircraft and has no stealth capability!

"Your catapult-type fighter must be developed as soon as possible and participate in the test. At the same time, if the aircraft can be improved, it must be further improved. Moreover, these improved technologies can also be used in the localization of J-11. We will almost Have you completed the localization package?"

"That's right." Li Ming nodded: "The batch of planes we are assembling now are long out of date, so we are currently preparing for the replacement, replacing the down-card radar with a flat-panel slot radar, replacing the cockpit, and using titanium alloys and composite materials. The use of it has greatly increased, and the digital telex we used on the J-15 has been transplanted..."

  Speaking of these, Li Ming was very excited. Now, they only rely on assembly, and the J-10 of the 611 Institute has been born, and they have to improve it! After such a nationally produced fighter comes out, it can prove that they are still capable in this field.

   "Except for the engine that cannot be replaced temporarily, we can replace the others with domestic products." Li Ming said.

The research and development of turbofan 10 is still lagging behind, and frequent failures occurred during the test run on the ground bench, so they did not plan to use turbofan 10, and they had to continue to use the third uncle. The only mature one in China is turbofan 15. But the refitting of that is too complicated, and the turbofan 15 only has a large thrust, and the data such as the thrust-to-weight ratio has not changed much.

"The engine is always our weak point, and we have to continue to work **** it." Qin Tao said: "However, we can't be anxious. An unqualified engine will destroy our fighter. We must be cautious when changing the engine. But There cannot be a situation where F-15 fighter jets are grounded in large areas because of unreliable engines. If we continue to purchase engines in this way, the old man will make some money, and he will not be too resistant to our improvement projects.”

  Li Ming nodded.
