Chapter 217 Qin Tao: Take the time to get back the information on MiG 1.44

The winding mountain road is just like this. Liu Dajun drove around and came across these people on the narrow road. As for the vehicles in the convoy behind them, they could not be seen from this side at all. They had been blocked by the car body.

Seeing this unexpected situation, Ma Laoliu immediately got out of the car, and Qin Tao picked up the walkie-talkie and called, notifying the people in the navy behind him.

 Someone came to rob our military supplies!

 After receiving the news, Li Yong was immediately angry. He had never seen anyone so courageous! How dare you rob important military supplies? Those things they transported, even if even a piece of paper was lost, it was a serious leak.

So, he immediately rushed to the front with his people, and also picked up the guys.

“Humph, who are you trying to scare?” said a person behind San Ganglou, “these are just props, what’s so scary about them?”

At this moment, Li Yong had already raised his fire stick to the sky and pulled the trigger.

Chuch tug tug!

There was fire coming from the mouth of the pipe and the sound was loud. Several people who had been militiamen in the past immediately recognized it: "What a guy, what a guy!"

“No one is allowed to move, anyone who dares to run will be killed!” Li Yong shouted, already rushing over.

These guys, if they dared to move, their legs would have been weak for a long time. A fishy smell came out from the crotch of the third gang building. It was so embarrassing.

 “Take out your belts, everyone!” Li Yong shouted.

They had practiced using belts to tie people up before. Soon, dozens of people were tied up.

“These people dare to rob our convoy and must be taken to the Land of Abundance.” Qin Tao said, “They will be handed over to the relevant departments for interrogation and sentencing.”

 Li Yong nodded.

“Report to the government, we didn’t know it was a military vehicle, we just came out to seek revenge, don’t want it, don’t want it.”

The third gang building then realized and shouted that they were wronged.

It’s a pity that no one paid attention to him. With a bang, he was thrown into the empty tank of the oil truck like a dead pig.

 One, two, these guys were all thrown in, and what awaited them would be severe punishment from the law.

Ma Laoliu returned to the cab again, feeling very excited.

"Mr. Qin, I have to thank these soldiers for their help this time." Ma Laoliu said: "From now on, let's see who else dares to rob our convoy on this road."

Three gangs of people in the building were completely screwed up. This matter spread, and no one who was short-sighted dared to cause trouble for them anymore.

They are trying to show off their power, but the effect is absolutely stunning.

Of course, Ma Laoliu will never know that this is not the first time Qin Tao has done this kind of thing. He also played like this at Lao Maozi's place. They were just a few petty thieves and could be easily dealt with.

After this episode, the convoy continued to move forward, and finally entered the Land of Abundance. After arriving here, the convoy separated. The navy's vehicle directly entered the 611 Institute. The transportation company's vehicle handed the person over to the relevant department and continued to deliver goods until the return trip. Get together again.

“Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, I’ve been looking forward to you.” Seeing the car drive in, Mr. Song immediately came out to greet him and held Qin Tao’s hand.

"Well, Mr. Song, it took us a little longer to come here by road this time." Qin Tao said, "However, it is also good to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland along the way."

"Yes." Mr. Song said, "I heard that you met some good guys who blocked your way on the road."

After coming out of the mountain, Qin Tao called and asked the relevant departments here to accept these people and reform them, so Mr. Song and the others also knew about it.

"Yes. Thanks to Captain Li." Qin Tao said: "Those people are so abominable, please punish them severely!"

This is just a small thing. Everyone treats it as a joke. After it is finished, we start talking about more important things.

"Mr. Song, that batch of goods is still being sold in Lao Maozi's market, and the payment should be slower. It is estimated that it will arrive this week, and it will be about 20 million." Qin Tao said.

 Twenty million?

Mr. Song opened his eyes wide: "So many?"

Qin Tao asked for several million rubles before he was willing to hand over the information to the 611 Institute. Therefore, Mr. Song could only grit his teeth and, according to Qin Tao, defrauded a large amount of materials. The cost of those materials was about 10 million yuan. This is already a transaction in which Mr. Song has staked his reputation.

 I didn’t expect that with such a move, it could actually sell for 20 million? In other words, after paying for the goods, they can still earn 10 million!

"Song Lao, the things you got here are all good. Lao Maozi is very satisfied. It's just that due to the recent situation there, we can't get the money back in time." Qin Tao said: "For you guys, with this little profit, I can subsidize scientific research projects, although it is not much, but it is still a little bit of my gratitude. In the future, when this road is open, I can continue to do this kind of business."

Mr. Song nodded. Ten million is really too important to them. It can solve several urgent matters.

“Today is really a good harvest day.” At this moment, a voice came from outside, and an old man walked over slowly with a smile on his face.

 “Lao Tu?” Qin Tao came here and fantasized about going to Factory 132. Unexpectedly, without even looking, this technical expert actually came by himself!

In the Land of Abundance, Institute 611 and Factory 132 can be regarded as a pair of good brothers in the Red Sky Unit. However, these two brothers behave differently.

Until now, Factory 132 has not had a ready-made finished product. It is working hard and accumulating. Factory 132 has become prosperous in the tide of market economy.

 Tu Lao is the technical master of Factory 132. Since the 1980s, he has spared no effort to promote the J-7 fighter to the outside world, and has achieved good results. Their 132 Factory is also prosperous.

Since they are all brothers, they have a good relationship, and they often go to each other's house. Hearing that a batch of confidential technical information was about to be delivered, Mr. Tu came over to watch the fun. At this time, he heard Qin Tao calling out to him The name was also taken aback.

"you know me?"

"Yes, I am engaged in foreign trade, and you are also engaged in foreign trade. I am fascinated by you." Qin Tao said.

Mr. Tu smiled and shook his head: "I can't compare with you. The business you do is much bigger than mine. One of your aircraft carriers can be sold for hundreds of millions, while our dozens of J-7s can only be sold for 100 million." "

"Mr. Tu, we can't compare with you. The Super 7 project you presided over is really impressive. Without national appropriation and sufficient funds, you have the courage to launch the Super 7 project, which is admirable." Qin Tao continued.

"Do you know about our Super Seven Project?" Tu Lao's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Qin Tao actually knew about this. After all, Qin Tao was a shipbuilder.

“They are all foreign trade projects, why don’t we know about them.” Qin Tao said, “This Chaoqi project is such a pity.”

  Qin Tao really felt a pity.

The Chao 7 project is an in-depth modification project of the J-7. Of course, after this project was modified, even its parents would not be able to recognize it. It has been completely transformed.

At the same time, this project has also experienced too many twists and turns. After all, Factory 132 does not have this technical strength.

At the beginning, it was a cooperation with the American Grumman Company, and the American F404 engine was also used. Later, the cooperation failed, and the third party of the project, the purchaser, Laoba, also gave up. However, Factory 132 did not give up. , is still working hard to develop it, and has gone to Moscow a few months ago to start negotiations with the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

 Unfortunately, it is still difficult to make progress in negotiations.

Lao Tu just came over to watch the fun. After all, the technology of vertical take-off and landing fighter jets still made many people jealous. However, he never expected that Qin Tao would actually talk about the Super Seven fighter jet.

At this time, when he heard Qin Tao say this, Mr. Tu's eyes were firm: "Yes, we have encountered many problems, but we believe that with our own abilities, we will definitely develop this fighter jet." successful!"

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, I also believe that this aircraft will be successfully developed, but the path must be taken correctly. If we continue to take the wrong path, it will greatly delay the development progress of this fighter jet."

"Mr. Qin, please give me some advice." Mr. Tu said to Qin Tao. He knew that Qin Tao was very good at foreign trade, so it would be of great benefit to listen to Qin Tao's opinions at this time.

“With all due respect, foreigners are unreliable. When we cooperate with them, they will all want to lead our projects. We cannot rely on others, we can only rely on ourselves.”

Qin Tao's words made Tu Lao filled with emotion. When we first cooperated with Grumman, Grumman was going to be the general contractor. Now that we have found the Mikoyan Design Bureau, they also want to take the lead. As expected, the world is booming. , all for profit! They want to take charge but don't have the skills.

Thinking of this, Mr. Tu sighed: "But our own technology is not good enough."

“The technical strength of your aircraft factory is not enough, but the technical strength of the 611 Institute is strong enough. Isn’t it great that you entrusted the 611 Institute with the design?” Qin Tao said.

 Hearing Qin Tao's suggestion, Mr. Tu and Mr. Song both raised their heads and looked at the sky: "The weather is really nice today."

 Hahaha, this suggestion is over.

Of course Qin Tao knew why the two expressed their opinions like this.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Both of them are proud people. Although they have a good personal relationship, their positions are different in official matters.

 Lao Tu suffered a loss in the project that year. Even if it was just a survey and mapping imitation of the MiG-21MF, their aircraft factory almost lost a fortune. Now, are they still counting on the 611 Institute? Mr. Tu didn't dare to put his eggs in this basket.

For Mr. Song, they are actively working hard to complete Project No. 10, which is their most important at present. They can study the information on vertical take-off and landing fighter aircraft first, but if they are allowed to devote all their energy to the super Seven, that will delay their Project No. 10.

Therefore, Qin Tao could only sigh. It is not the time yet. When the time comes, 611 Institute and 132 Factory will be regrouped together to become Chengdu Aircraft Group. For now, forget it.

　　The melon that is forced is not sweet, so Qin Tao can only give up.

“Mikoyan Design Bureau is still very strong.” Mr. Song said: “As long as relevant agreements are reached, it is okay to invite them to develop it.”

"But that powerful empire will disappear soon." Qin Tao said: "Under the overthrow of the nest, there are intact eggs. From now on, Lao Maozi's military industry will be in trouble. We rely on them to develop our projects. Huang The possibility is very high.”

　　If Qin Tao said these words before, people would be shocked, but now, the situation of the Red Empire is almost clear. It is like a decaying house. As long as the last kick is given, the whole house will collapse.

 So what Qin Tao said could only make people sigh.

"Yes." Mr. Tu said: "We went to the Mikoyan Design Bureau a few months ago, and they invited us to have a meal. The best dish was beef. They ate a lot. There was chocolate at the end of the meal, but we only ate it. One, and the rest were taken away by them.”

“When I got on the plane and returned home, I was thinking, Lao Maozi has such a vast land, how come he can’t even feed the people’s stomachs.”

"We were like this back then." Qin Tao said with emotion: "Thanks to our reform and opening up, otherwise we would probably still not have enough to eat now."

 Working together on a collective farm may be okay in the first few years, but what about later, hahaha.

How did the content of this conversation end up like this? Qin Tao found it a bit funny. He looked at the mountains of information and said, "Speaking of eating, I'm also hungry now."

“Let’s go, Mr. Qin, I’ll treat you to dinner, and Old Song, you’ll come too.” Mr. Tu said with a smile.

Who makes 611 so poor? They are too embarrassed to take Qin Tao to the canteen, so Mr. Song nodded tacitly and agreed, and invited a few people to go out to eat together.

However, since it was Mr. Tu who invited him to dinner, of course Mr. Tu would be the protagonist, and he would talk the most.

"Mr. Qin, a few months ago, we went to Lao Maozi's place. The Mikoyan Design Bureau is really good. Even if they want to be the general contractor, even if we purchase an engine, we have to go through their Mikoyan Design Bureau." A few glasses of wine After eating it, Mr. Tu started to talk a lot. This is an international cooperation project anyway, so confidentiality requirements are not high.

ox? Yes, the current Mikoyan Design Bureau is still very good. In the end, because he could not pay wages, the chief engineer was so ashamed that he committed suicide.

"This is easy to talk about. Let's go directly to the Klimov Design Bureau to discuss it." Qin Tao said: "However, to change the double engine into a single engine, the receiver must be changed. This is a big project. If it is the original engine, we can do it privately. A few units are no problem.”

This is the key point. What they are interested in is the RD-33 engine used in Lao Maozi's MiG-29. The MiG-29 has dual engines, so the receiver is between the two engines, sharing one, but it is developed by itself. The Super Seven has a single engine. In order to facilitate maintenance, the receiver has to be placed underneath. This requires modification. We can only ask the Klimov Design Bureau, which is really not possible in China.

“The British promised to use their Rolls-Royce RB-199 engine for us and provide it free of charge during the test flight. However, this engine is expensive and the risk is high.” Mr. Tu continued.

 The biggest problem in China is the lack of qualified engines, which seriously restricts the development of Super 7. Its development process is almost a process of finding and matching engines.

"Why don't you use things that are given for free? If it's not appropriate, wait until it's appropriate." Qin Tao said irresponsibly, but this kind of statement is in line with Qin Tao's style.

 Why not take advantage of the advantages? No matter whether he is suitable or not, you have to take what is given to you for free.

After speaking, beads of sweat appeared on Qin Tao's forehead: "Are there any dishes here that are not spicy?"

Although Qin Tao can also eat spicy food, the food here is still a bit intolerable for Qin Tao.

Even a scrambled egg with tomatoes has half a plate of chili in it. This menu should be changed to scrambled eggs with tomatoes and chili.

“This is really not the case.” Tu Lao said: “If you ask them not to put any chili peppers, the chef will probably come out with a shovel and shout, I can’t fry dishes without chili peppers, you do it!”

Qin Tao laughed dumbly. He knew that Mr. Tu was not joking. If he asked not to add chili pepper, the chef would probably consider it an insult to them. Is a dish without chili pepper still called a dish?

“Mr. Qin, the trend of vertical take-off and landing has passed. None of the fighter jets developed by various countries now have vertical take-off and landing. Do you think this kind of aircraft still has a future?”

 An engineer present who had come to have a meal spoke.

In the past, all countries had a sense of urgency due to the shadow of nuclear war. Once faced with a nuclear war, the aircraft they had hidden in the hangar might survive, but the airport would definitely be gone.

They need an aircraft that does not require an airport. Under this trend of thought, all countries are developing vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, but very few have succeeded.

Now, the Cold War is about to end, and the fighter technology of various countries is also developing rapidly. The third-generation aircraft all have good short take-off and landing capabilities, and some even only need a runway of one or two hundred meters to take off.

 So, the need for this technology is no longer very urgent. So, is there still a demand?

“I may not know much about anything else, but our navy definitely has needs,” Qin Tao said.

 Navy? Everyone is a little curious, why is the navy in need? Is the navy going to build a small aircraft carrier that can take off by ski jump?

"Our motherland has a vast sea area, especially the southern sea area, which is far away from our mainland. It is difficult for navy fighters to fly there." Qin Tao said: "If our navy has vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, we can find a few in the southern sea area. The islands and reefs will be expanded into airports for our planes to take off and land."

After all, Qin Tao is engaged in shipbuilding and is most concerned about the navy. The motherland has a vast sea area, but it cannot build too many aircraft carriers. Therefore, if a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet lands on a small island, it will became an alternative.

“Islands and reefs like this are hard to find.”

"At that time, we can build our own and expand the area of ​​the islands, but it cannot be too big. Therefore, vertical take-off and landing fighter jets are very suitable." Qin Tao said: "Of course, given our current conditions, we can only Pre-research, if we can’t solve the engine problem, it will all be in vain.”

Vertical take-off and landing fighter aircraft have very high requirements for engines. The Yak-141 relies on this 152 kN engine to fly. However, it is not possible to have an engine of this level in China for the time being.

"Yes, the engine is the most important thing." Mr. Song also sighed: "At present, the only engine we can use immediately is the Su-27 engine. Mr. Qin, you proposed last time The suggestion is correct and we...”

 At this point, he felt that he had said too much. After all, Qin Tao was not qualified to be exposed to these things, so he could only shut up.

“Mr. Song, I wish you success.” Qin Tao raised his wine glass.

 It is good to drink alcohol, which is not as spicy as vegetables. You can rinse your mouth with wine.

After finishing the drink, Qin Tao continued: "Mr. Tu, you went to the Mikoyan Design Bureau in Moscow. Have you come into contact with Lao Maozi's fourth-generation aircraft?"

"Fourth generation machine?" Tu Lao shook his head: "If they want to have one, it must be a highly confidential project, and we are not qualified to know."

“I heard that Lao Maozi’s fourth-generation aircraft uses a canard aerodynamic layout and a dual-engine plan with belly air intake.” Qin Tao said: “If there is a chance in the future, I will find a way to get those materials.”

Mr. Song’s eyes were shining.

At present, the MiG 1.44 project is still highly confidential. Although it has been carried out for ten years at the Mikoyan Design Bureau, the first prototype has not been built yet. Therefore, the outside world cannot find any old Traces of Maozi’s new generation aircraft.

However, according to the rules of military aircraft research and development, the MiG-29 and Su-27 are now equipped with troops, so they must have a development project for a new generation of fighters, but they have not been announced.

  Qin Tao has a good relationship with Lao Maozi, and it is possible to hear a few words of description.

 These words were meant for Mr. Song. After all, his Project No. 10 also used these design plans. It had a canard layout, belly air intake, and only a single engine.

 Different paths lead to the same goal. Since Mikoyan also chose this plan, it shows that this plan has great advantages.

 It’s a pity that I can’t talk too much to Qin Tao.

Mr. Song was a little unenjoyed.

 Qin Tao looked at Mr. Song's expression and knew what he was thinking at this time. There was nothing I could do about it. Who made us not qualified for confidentiality, so we could only play charades.

“Mr. Qin, what else did you hear?” Mr. Song asked.

"That's all." Qin Tao said: "The confidentiality level of this project is too high, and I don't have the opportunity to access too much information. I'll see if there is a chance to get it back later, but even if there is, it will probably cost a lot of money. few."

Mr. Song nodded: "Mr. Qin, I hope our business can continue in the future. We hope to raise part of the funds." Mr. Song said.

 Qin Tao nodded. This was his purpose. 611 Institute was too poor and had to find ways to make money so that his life would be easier.

“By the way, after dinner, can I go to Factory 132 to have a look?”

The J-7 produced by the 132 factory is not considered classified. After all, it is a technology decades ago.

 “Of course, no problem, welcome.” Tu Lao said.
