Chapter 201 Not doing business properly

 Qin Tao was secretly glad that thanks to his quick reaction, he made the decision to evacuate immediately. If it had been half an hour later, he would really not have been able to get out.

 Because the entire Red Empire has been under martial law.

After returning home, he sent away Lakul and his adjutants, and then sent away Gu Lao and Sun Chong. Qin Tao took Zhao Ling and came to Huanglou again.

After seeing that Qin Tao and Zhao Ling were safe and sound, Wu Shengli breathed a long sigh of relief: "You are finally back. The past two days have really made me anxious."

his daughter and son-in-law were trapped in a chaotic country. Wu Shengli was very anxious, but he had no other choice but to wait. Fortunately, Qin Tao was very capable and finally came back.

 Thinking of Qin Tao's previous analysis of Lao Maozi's national situation, Wu Shengli was very emotional. Qin Tao's vision is really far-sighted and he can see it more thoroughly than anyone else.

“Uncle Wu, I came to you with something important to report.”

"explain."

"I got some good things from Lao Maozi, and I need five million rubles to send them over." Qin Tao said.

Although this transaction cannot be carried out for the time being, the turmoil will soon pass, there will be more chaos in Lao Maozi, and this transaction will be easier to carry out.

 Qin Tao told Wu Shengli about the deal he had reached. Wu Shengli's expression was complicated, first surprised, then excited, and then worried.

"Taozi, these are all good things you got back. However, with our current capabilities, we can only purchase a batch of Su-27 fighters. The subsequent Su-27 fighters will also be produced in our country. Needless to say, the Navy’s funding is small. Even the Air Force can only put all its funds on the Su-27 fighter. I’m afraid we don’t have the ability to launch a vertical take-off and landing fighter at this time!”

 Qin Tao brought over the wreckage and technical data of the Yak-141, which means that he already has the foundation for the development of a vertical take-off and landing fighter.

For the Navy, it is of great significance to have a vertical take-off and landing fighter. If such an aircraft is available, one or two cheap 10,000-ton aircraft carriers can really be built, and then equipped with this kind of vertical take-off and landing fighter. Take off and land fighter jets to protect the sky in formation. At the same time, it can also be deployed on certain islands as a fixed land base to expand the patrol range of sea and air.

 But now, the Navy does not have the funds!

It’s all money. Without money, you can’t do anything.

 Vertical take-off and landing fighter jets are still too niche after all.

Qin Tao nodded: "In recent years, the military has really not had the funds. The technical data we have obtained can be temporarily stored or given to a domestic aviation research institute for preliminary research."

“Brother Tao, during this journey, you never mentioned the information we obtained to Mr. Gu.” At this moment, Zhao Ling said, “Institute 601 is the leader in our domestic aviation industry. Could it be that...”

Zhao Ling was a little curious.

 Mr. Gu took Sun Chang out with them to inspect Lao Maozi's Yakovlev Design Bureau. Ordinarily, with these good things, he should inform them, right?

Qin Tao touched his hair: "Well, I was so anxious all the way back that I forgot about it."

Zhao Ling felt relieved when she thought about what happened along the way.

 Actually, Qin Tao certainly didn't forget it, but he knew that this thing couldn't be handed over to Institute 601 at all, otherwise the good thing would be wasted.

“Mr. Gu and the others are also responsible for the production of the Su-27, and I guess they don’t have the time.” Qin Tao said: “Our technical data, if possible, can be handed over to the 611 Institute.”

The personnel who went abroad for inspection were designated by their superiors. Qin Tao could not interfere, but he could control who the information would be given to next.

"611 Institute?" Wu Shengli was a little curious: "This design institute is currently undertaking key projects in our country, so it probably doesn't have the energy."

"Their energy is endless." Qin Tao said: "Uncle Wu, you need to coordinate with the Air Force for this matter. The aircraft wreckage together with the technical information will cost three million rubles. The Air Force needs to get me a batch of valuable equipment." For light industrial products, if the Air Force doesn’t provide the money, then I’ll go find Factory 132.”

 In that land of abundance, there are two famous aviation institutions, namely 611 Institute and 132 Factory. When talking about these, some people always confuse them with each other. Anyway, they are called Chengfei.

 In fact, the two units are still operating independently.

  Various domestic scientific research institutions are inherited from the Soviet model. Under this model, a research institute is supported by a factory, and the combination of the factory and the factory is very suitable.

  However, the relationship between the 611 Institute and the 132 Factory is not like this. The 132 Factory was established to deal with the threat from the north. After all, their location was not defeated by the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War, so it was very safe. Institute 611 was separated from Institute 601. The entire Jianjiu project team moved south.

After the opening of the country, Factory 132 worked hard to adapt to the development of the market economy. It successfully survived by selling large quantities of J-7 fighter jets, and it was also very profitable. In Factory 132, there was even a technical expert, Tu Lao, who led the factory The technical staff here made a series of magical changes to the J-7.

Even though Institute 611 is engaged in national key projects, the research funding received is less than a fraction of what Institute 601 received for improving the J-8, so life is miserable.

However, the technical staff of the 611 Institute had ideals and motivation, and under difficult circumstances, they built a brand new fighter aircraft, which became the main force of the Air Force. In later generations, they even gave birth to twin-engine stealth heavy-duty fighter aircraft. After doing it, let’s take a look at the 611 Institute, hahaha.

 It doesn’t matter who you give it to, as long as Qin Tao doesn’t lose money.

 “Where is the engine?” Zhao Ling continued to ask.

"The engine is the weakest link in our country, so I hope the country can pay attention to it." Qin Tao said: "Although there are only samples at the moment, I hope it can serve as a reference for relevant units and hand them over to the 606 or 624 Institute. Waiting for the scientific research institute, we may get more technical information in the future. The two million rubles of materials will be allocated by their superior units. "

(You can’t donate it directly to the country, otherwise I don’t know how many people will come and scold you. The Hero of East China would like to wave my hand and give it to you. We are not short of money, but... be honest.)

Although he is engaged in shipbuilding, Qin Tao still knows some things about the aviation industry. The heart disease problem of aviation engines has restricted the development of domestic military aircraft. Mr. Lu from Nanchang is stuck in the turbofan industry. Six, finally the top six had no choice but to stop. The current No. 10 project of 611 was also because the turbofan 10 matched with 606 could not be finalized, which almost led to the end of the project. In the end, the third uncle was used to make do, and even modified for this purpose. It took the entire rear fuselage to finally achieve success.

There is only one R-79 prototype and one wreckage. It is impossible to directly map and imitate it because the materials used on it are not available. However, at least there is a prototype now, which can be used as a reference for relevant units. As for the other If nothing else, the information could be packaged and purchased in 1996, and even the production process information for various materials were purchased together.

However, the R-79 at that time was already out of date. The turbine front temperature was only 1,300 to 400 degrees, which was not even comparable to the domestic ones. Therefore, based on the design of this engine, it was improved, and the final turbofan-15 It will come out of nowhere.

Qin Tao doesn’t know exactly when it will be released. Anyway, he is not engaged in aviation. Now it can only be said that the opportunity is right.

He didn't originally want to go abroad, but when the Siamese people wanted to see the Yak-141, he had no choice but to go there. After he went there, he learned that the Yakovlev Design Bureau was facing a crisis, the prototype crashed, and there was no way to survive, so he reached out to Just a handful.

There must be a unit to receive these things that I got back, and they can't be locked in a warehouse to eat dust, so I came to arrange them.

After all these things have been arranged, he should return to the shipyard. After all, the projects at the shipyard are very tight. The 100,000-ton slipway is expected to be built, and the aircraft carrier is expected to have its steel plates cut. He is still more interested in shipbuilding. interest.

After reporting to Wu Shengli, it was already getting late. Qin Tao had no choice but to go back the next day and slept in the private courtyard of Huilou. When he woke up the next day, he was called over again.

An old man with gray hair was sitting in Wu Shengli's office. He had a big face and looked like a kind old man. When he saw him, Qin Tao was suddenly surprised.

 “Mr. Song?”

At this time, it was Mr. Song's turn to be surprised: "Mr. Qin, how do you know me? We have never met before, right?"

"I've never seen it, but I've heard of it." Qin Tao had great respect for this leader in the military aircraft industry: "What brought you here?"

"I came to the capital to report on my work." Mr. Song said, "Then I heard about what happened here, so I came here early this morning."

“Young man, where did you hear about Mr. Song?”

Wu Shengli is still a little strange.

“In recent years, the 611 Institute has been having a hard time, undertaking key national projects, but with insufficient funds.” Qin Tao said, “During the most difficult times, Mr. Song also set up a stall at the entrance of the 611 Institute to sell noodles. "

Mr. Song's face was complicated: "Yes, our life has been bad in recent years, but no matter how hard it is, it will not change our ideal of manufacturing the most advanced fighter jets for the motherland."

The 611 Institute was originally responsible for the J-9, but the project was later discontinued. Then, the superiors obtained the MiG-21MF and handed over the task of surveying, mapping and imitation to the 611 Institute, which became the J-7 Major Reform and later the J-7 III. Later it was renamed J-7C.

 At that time, the Air Force wanted 1,000 aircraft. They were so excited by 611 that they felt that just mapping and imitation was not enough, and wanted to give it a try themselves. However, Factory 132, which was responsible for the production task, refused to do it. Mr. Tu and Mr. Song both did this.

Both sides have their own reasons. The 611th Institute is powerful and wants to add something to make the aircraft more advanced. However, adding things will delay time and progress. Who knows what the Air Force's attitude will be.

 Later facts proved Tu Lao's foresight. Six years later, when the J-7 III was launched, the Air Force really changed its mind and no longer wanted it.

The 132 factory has been cheated. After all, it has purchased 15 J-7 IIIs out of its own pocket. I feel like crying without tears!

 After this project, although the 611 Institute had no decent results, they were still making great efforts. Project No. 10 was their most important turnaround!

"Mr. Qin, you are really awesome. Can you give those drawings and wreckage to our 611 Institute?" Mr. Song said: "With these three million rubles, we are afraid..."

How could the superiors raise goods worth three million rubles so easily? According to Qin Tao, if he could not raise the money, Qin Tao would hand over the information to Factory 132.

Those materials are the result of decades of Yakovlev Design Bureau. Even though Mr. Song has never been exposed to vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, he is still full of expectations.

“Mr. Song, those are all information about vertical take-off and landing fighter jets. We don’t seem to have this project in China, right? Are you very interested in this?” Qin Tao asked.

Song Lao nodded: "Yes, even if it is a vertical take-off and landing fighter, it still has to fight. Its design is still inspiring to us, and it also uses a digital telex system."

Qin Tao nodded and handed the information about this kind of fighter jet to Mr. Song. Of course, Qin Tao was 100% assured. He knew that this batch of information would be used to its maximum effect.

 But...the issue of three million rubles is of course also needed.

Qin Tao looked at Mr. Song and said seriously: "Mr. Song, have you lived in the Land of Abundance for decades, right?"

 Lao Song nodded.

"You should be very familiar with it. Even if you don't know it, there must be many people in your research institute who know some of the nearby government agencies and factories. Some of your unsaleable agricultural products include canned fruits, meat, etc. products, as well as things like tea, by the way, not spicy. Give me at least 10 million worth of these things."

What?

Mr. Song, who had never done business before, opened his eyes wide in surprise, with disbelief.

"If I get these goods from Lao Maozi, the profit should be several million rubles. In this way, I can make up the difference in price of those materials. At the same time, your 611 institute can also make a profit and subsidize it. Your research.”

 “But, we haven’t done business.”

"Mr. Song, haven't you ever sold noodles?" Qin Tao looked at Mr. Song: "What's the use of making small fuss? The little money is just enough for you to buy some drawing pencils and so on. It's useless. If you want to do it, just do it. If you do something big, you can actually subsidize it into your projects. This is not a one-time deal, and you can continue to do it in the future."

 Qin Tao is very satisfied with his genius idea.

The Red Empire is about to collapse. In the future, the profits of being a tycoon will be greater. With Nikolai as a line, Qin Tao will only worry that he does not have enough on hand to drag the Pacific Fleet back and dismantle it.

Now, it is just right to transport a batch of unsalable things from the mainland. You can make money, and Mr. Song and the others can also live a better life.

 You can count them all in one fell swoop.

“However, we have no money, and research funds must not be misappropriated.” Mr. Song continued.

 He has many things to worry about. If he sells noodles, he can use his own salary as capital. With tens of millions of dollars worth of goods, where will he get the money?

“Part of it can be borrowed on credit, since it is unsaleable goods anyway.” Qin Tao said, “For the other part, you can go to the bank and borrow it.”

Qin Tao looked at Mr. Song's face: "In doing business, you must take risks. However, I have done so many businesses and I have never failed. The navy can testify. Anyway, Mr. Song, the choice is yours. In your hands, if you don’t have the courage, then I can only go to Factory 132. Two million is just drizzle to them.”

"No, Factory 132 has limited technical strength. The most they can do is improve the J-7. They don't have the ability to fully understand the technology of the Yak-141. Let's do it. I agree with your plan." Song Lao said.

Although there is a technical expert in Factory 132, he is the only one after all. The others are very ordinary and the team is not perfect. It is simply impossible to build a brand new vertical take-off and landing fighter.

The matter was settled like this. Mr. Song was very happy. He had already heard some legendary things about Qin Tao and knew that Qin Tao was very powerful. However, this was the first time he wanted to do such a business. He was a little uneasy.

But later, he turned his attention to technology.

“Mr. Qin, regarding aero engines, you have obtained an R-79. Can we quickly copy this engine in our country and use it in our fighter planes?”

Mr. Song came to Qin Tao. On the one hand, he wanted the information. On the other hand, of course, he also wanted to inquire about the engine. After all, for them, the engine was a big obstacle.

Qin Tao shook his head: "Mr. Song, you are an expert in this field. You should know how difficult it is. I don't know much about our domestic industry, but look at the United States, which ranks first in technological level. Their third-generation engines, How many years has it been used? Even the engine has been put into service, but large-scale problems have arisen. In the end, the factory-made F-15 has no engine to use, and it has become the queen of the hangar."

“From our domestic point of view, if we want to independently develop an advanced third-generation turbofan, it will take at least twenty years. Even if it is a survey and imitation, it will not take more than ten years.”

The turbofan-10 project was pre-researched in 1978 and established in 1987. It was not until 2005 that it was dared to be used on the dual-engine J-11. The single-engine J-10 was even later. This thing was not successful so early. of.

Of course Qin Tao knew what Mr. Song was thinking, but it was destined to be impossible.

"For now, if we want to have a mature and reliable engine, there is no other way but to use the Su-27 engine." Qin Tao said, "This will also facilitate the unified logistics support of our aviation force. .”

Mr. Song immediately shook his head: "No, no, this engine is different in size from our own..."

 When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking. After all, Qin Tao was not in the aviation industry, so some words couldn't be explained clearly.

Even if outsiders know that their 611 owns a key domestic model, it is just a statement. There is no information about the specific model.

Of course he would not know. Qin Tao knew all this clearly. After all, in later generations, the inside story of these development stages would have been exposed long ago.

J-Shi can finally come down, it can be said that he has gone through many hardships, the most important of which is to change his hair.

The J-10 is designed with a turbofan-10 as the target of installation. However, this design goes against the development rules of the world's military aircraft. Even in the United States, the development of engines is earlier than the development of aircraft because the engines take longer.

 In China, the aircraft model is first available, and then the engine is provided for this model.

 In this way, the J-10 will be dragged down by the Turbofan-10.

Therefore, in the 1990s, when the Su-27 was imported, a batch of backup engines also had to be imported into the country. Some people suggested that the J-10 should also use this engine.

 However, I was rejected by 611 because it was not suitable at all!

The diameter of the turbofan 10 is 1.1 meter, and the diameter of the third fuselage is 1.3 meters. The latter is thicker, which means that it cannot be inserted in. If the third uncle is to be used, it means that the entire rear fuselage has to be knocked down and heavy. coming!

  However, Institute 611 finally gave in, modified the rear fuselage, used area ratio to modify the shape, and changed the air inlet. In the end, the J-10 succeeded.

Qin Tao also knows about this experience, so now he has proposed this plan.

 Sure enough, Mr. Song’s attitude was very firm.

"Song Lao, when the West develops military aircraft, the engine must be developed more than five years ago. I don't know the situation in our country, but at our level, the engine is destined to be difficult to produce. If we use Lao Maozi's engine, the size may not be suitable and it needs to be greatly modified. , But, that’s better than the domestic engine being delayed and the project being delayed in the end, right? Don’t forget our J-7 III!”

 Mr. Song's body trembled when he mentioned this model. It was obvious that he was also deeply worried.

 “There are still strong six.” Wu Shengli added.

Wu Shengli knows better. From the perspective of a technician, of course, he does not want to see that it is almost done and end up having to reinvent the wheel. However, from the perspective of an outsider, if there is no change, it may really be gone.

 The Strong Six is ​​also a lesson learned from the past.

Mr. Lu from the 320 Factory is also a capable person. He designed the Qiangwu. Without any reference, he modified the nose air intake into two-sided air intake, and it was very successful. (It can be compared with the modified nose of the J-8, which borrowed the nose of the MiG-23 and took such a long time.)

 Mr. Lu continued his efforts and began to build a strong six. He planned to use a domestically produced turbofan six engine and a variable sweep wing that was trending at the time.

 However, Turbofan 6 was delayed again and again, and Qiang 6 had no engine to use at all. At that time, the superiors asked Mr. Lu if they could use the Sibei in stock, but Mr. Lu refused.

So, using Sibei's J-H Seven, the J-H Seven survived, while the Qiang Six who was waiting for the Turbofan Six was gone.

Mr. Song sat there, pondering for a long time, and then took a long breath: "Yes, our aero-engine industry is too backward. Counting on our own engines is very risky!"

PS: Chapter 197 has been released, everyone is welcome to read it. Those who know Heroes of East China should know that the chapters may be poisonous, but the updates will never be less. Just as many updates as you want. You can only add updates. It is impossible to sneak in less updates. If you want less updates, you can only go in.
