Chapter 312 The big plane is back!

"Our Pacific Fleet has always valued reputation. It is precisely because of this that we cannot hand over the Novorossiysk to Dazhou Company now. As long as they dismantle the Minsk on hand into scrap metal, we will Delivered immediately!”

"Yes, that's it. If we deliver the Novorossiysk now, then it won't be long before we are surprised to find that one or even two ski-jump aircraft carriers have appeared in Asia. The military balance in Asia has been wreaked havoc!"

“What we did was precisely a responsible performance. It was Dazhou Company that breached the contract first. We just delayed the delivery time slightly, but it was not that we refused to give it to them.”

“Doing this fully demonstrates our sincerity in maintaining world peace, and we will not hesitate to be stigmatized for it.”

 The head of the Pacific Fleet, Nikolai, held a press conference. Faced with reporters who kept asking questions, he gave impeccable answers one by one.

 South Kimchi Country, Dazhou Company, conference room.

 The atmosphere was deathly silent.

 Everyone knows that they have no way to go. Their company has been making rapid progress since its establishment in 1973, but now, it is coming to an end!

 “Factory, we want factory!”

 “Work, we have to work!”

 Outside, the wave of protests began again.

The people in the room only felt the huge irony. Some time ago, these guys had been making noises about long working hours, asking for breaks, low wages, and asking for salary increases. Now, seeing that the company is about to close down, they are making trouble again. Already working!

They think that as long as they make a scene, they will get what they want?

 At least, in terms of work, even if they make trouble, it is useless. Their Dazhou Company may go bankrupt.

"The court has made a judgment that our infringement of the Norwegian company's natural gas ship patent is valid." In the silence, a person came in and told them such a terrible thing.

 This means that all their frozen funds will be transferred to the account of the Norwegian company, and their company is completely finished.

 At the main seat, the old man stood up and looked outside. Through the window, he could see everything in the shipyard.

This shipyard has grown from small to large and slowly developed to the present. It is not easy, but the destruction came so quickly.

 They have absolutely no way out.

"Let's wait for the government and see what solution the government can find for us. They won't see so many workers unemployed." After a long time, he said this.

 Huating, northeast, Baoshan District, Dachang Town.

 A circle of river protection that is more than 10,000 meters long flows slowly from here. Surrounded by this circle of rivers, there is a wide runway.

A large number of hangars have been built on one side of the runway. In the hangars, there is a large outline of the aircraft. At the wing root of the aircraft, there are two huge cylindrical devices inside, which are its engines.

As long as you see this layout, you will know that this is a common H-6 in China.

 Here is a large military base of the Navy.

In the distance of the base, you can still see a large number of factories. The outline of the silver-white passenger plane is exposed on the tarmac at the end of the factory. The outline of the swollen engine on both sides of the tail of the aircraft is so clear.

 This is the McDonnell Douglas-82 passenger plane assembled by Huating Aircraft Factory!

Dachang Town is almost entirely occupied by these buildings. On the one hand, it is a large-scale military base for the naval aviation. On the other hand, it is also a test ground for assembling passenger aircraft in Huating, which can be regarded as a joint use between the military and civilians.

Now, in the corner of the Dachang base, a new sign has been erected outside a gray two-story building.

 Mingzhou Shipbuilding Group Transportation Company Air Transportation Branch. There are a lot of these words, and the handwriting is very new, obviously it has just been painted on.

Ma Laoliu, Zhao Laosi and others all came to Huating from Mingzhou. At the door of the small building, they looked expectantly outside until a Mercedes-Benz G appeared and they hurriedly greeted it.

When Qin Tao got off the car, their faces were full of smiles: "Mr. Qin, you are finally back!"

“Mr. Qin, who is this?”

Looking at the man in a suit and leather shoes who came down with Qin Tao, he had a straight body and sonorous steps. He was from the army.

"This is Brother Wang. He used to be my father-in-law's driver. Now he is the person in charge sent by another joint venture partner of our air transportation company. From now on, Zhao Laosi will be stationed here. You must cooperate well with Brother Wang. !”

This air transport company, if it wants to make a big move, must have the support of the military, otherwise it will not be able to apply for routes, not to mention the driving and maintenance of the aircraft, which all require the help of the military.

 So, according to the original agreement, Mingzhou Group and the army each had half of the shares. Qin Tao's father-in-law was originally a little hesitant and felt that the army was not good at doing business. But this time, when he learned that a big guy was going to fly back, he no longer hesitated. In order to better coordinate, he simply followed him. The driver who had been driving for more than ten years was transferred as the person in charge, and he worked closely with Zhao Laosi to develop and expand the company.

“Welcome, welcome Brother Wang, you have the final say in our company from now on!” Ma Laoliu, Zhao Laosi and others quickly came up to shake hands with Brother Wang.

Brother Wang smiled and said, "No, I am mainly responsible for logistics support. You have the final say on how the company is run. As long as the army can requisition it at any time when needed, that's all."

He is not here to seize power, and he does not pursue much power. For him, as long as he can ensure the interests of the army, it is enough.

Now, after hearing what Brother Wang said, Ma Laoliu, Zhao Laosi and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, let's go in and make a total first." Qin Tao said: "Currently, this place is not big enough. When tomorrow, the big guys from our transportation company fly over, I'm afraid there won't be any space to occupy. Do you want the Navy to sacrifice more? Make a clearing for us and let us park the big guys.”

"Of course it's no problem." Brother Wang nodded: "Besides, we need to give you two more warehouses to facilitate the installation of those accessories."

“Big guy, how big is it?” Zhao Laosi asked curiously.

 “Big, big.”

Qin Tao's statement is too general. However, everyone knows Qin Tao's speaking style, so they don't take it too seriously. But when the plane flew back the next day, everyone was shocked.

　　Whether it was the Navy’s aviation unit or the personnel of the Huating Aircraft Factory, they all raised their heads and looked at the sky.

Just listening to the movement of the plane can make people feel different!

They raised their heads and looked at the huge guy. When the outline gradually became clear, countless insiders shouted: "Six engines, six engines!"

A large number of people also stood in front of the small building of the air transport company. Today, there were not only Wu Shengli and others who came from the capital, but also Gu Laosun and others who came from the further north.

The big guy stood there, looking up at the sky in the distance, looking at the outline of the huge transport plane, filled with emotion.

"One hundred million U.S. dollars. Except for Mingzhou Group, no company in our country has such great courage!" Mr. Gu said with emotion: "You can buy two or three of the McDonnell Douglas 82s over there!"

"How can the MD-82 compare with it?" Qin Tao said: "After flying down, you will be able to feel how huge this transport aircraft is. If the MD-82 takes off its wings, you can directly stuff it into it. Transport it away in your belly!”

"Yes, this aircraft has great advantages in transporting large components." Wu Shengli also said from the side: "Moreover, flying from the air, you don't have to worry about the risks of sea transportation. Some are sold to Parthia. Everything can be transported by this plane.”

 When he said this, many people present fell silent.

At this moment, the roar came, and the huge plane began to align with the runway and land.

 “Is it too wide?”

 When they saw that the plane was flush with the runway and the edges of the wings almost fell outside the runway, someone immediately shouted.

The airport here has a long history. After the fall of Huating, the Japanese forcibly acquired land here and built an airport with a two-kilometer-long runway. Later, after the victory of the war, the Navy took over the airport here and turned it into a naval aviation base. After the Huating Aircraft Factory cooperated with McDonnell Douglas, the airport was expanded in order to take off large aircraft from here.

Ordinarily, this runway is already one of the best in the country, but now, compared with the huge silhouette of the An-225, it pales into insignificance!

The An-225 taxied to the end of the runway before slowly stopping. Then, under the command of the ground, it slid to the apron specially prepared for it. It had far exceeded the height of the H-6 hangar next to it. When it slid past a H-6, you could see how small the H-6 was in front of it, almost like a toy.

 “This plane is so big!”

 Everyone said with emotion.

 Qin Tao was also very excited: "Let's take a look!"

“No, we didn’t prepare such a long ramp!” Xiao Wang suddenly thought of something and patted his head.

 Look, the cockpit of the plane is dozens of meters above the ground. There is no gangway. How can the people on it get down?

“The transport aircraft, when designed, has the conditions to take off and land at the field airport. Even if there is no ladder, they can get down.” Qin Tao spoke.

This cannot be blamed on Xiao Wang. He has been driving for Wu Shengli. Although he has seen a lot of things, he is not a professional after all, and it is impossible to master these detailed knowledge.

Just as everyone walked past, the roar of the aircraft engine had disappeared. Under the huge belly of the An-225 transport aircraft, a side door slowly flipped downwards and turned into a gangway for travel.

It's just like a small business jet. When making it, the side door was made into a gangway. In this way, people inside first take the internal gangway, go down from the cockpit to the cargo compartment, and then follow this from the cargo compartment. When you go down the ladder, there is no need for any ground arrangement at all.

 One, two, three... old men walked down one after another. For them, this was a new beginning!

  Galunenko, Kowalski... they were all excited.

 They will have a brand new start when they come to the East!

"My friends, welcome to the East. Come, let me introduce to you. This is our military leader..." Qin Tao introduced them.

While Qin Tao was introducing them, Sun Chong couldn't wait to get into the plane. He, Mr. Gu and others came here, of course, for the things inside the plane.

Sure enough, when he entered, he was stunned by what he saw.

Two aircraft similar to the Su-27 were fixed on the floor of the cargo warehouse. Only one wing of each aircraft was disassembled, and the wing on the other side was folded directly to satisfy the requirements of the aircraft. The dimensions of the warehouse.

The nose of the aircraft is slightly tilted downward, just like the head of an eagle. Smooth side strips appear on both sides of the nose, extending back to the wings. However, unlike the land-based Su-27, there are additional strips on the side strips. There are two more small duck wings. This makes it a specially constructed three-plane aircraft!

A large number of parts were scattered and fixed in the warehouse. Sun Chong could step on the boxes of parts and jump onto the fuselage of the plane. Due to years of weathering, the surface of the plane had faded, and a row of rivets could even be seen. The head was so conspicuous. He looked back and looked behind the huge fuselage. The wide fuselage extended back to the tail, and a short tail vertebra appeared...

“It’s better to unload the things here in the evening and drag them directly into the hangar.” At this moment, Qin Tao’s voice sounded outside: “Let’s go to dinner first to celebrate these guests who have come from afar.”

Even though Qin Tao said this, those people obviously did not listen to Qin Tao. Instead, they continued to pour into the cabin, looked at the two planes inside, and sighed with emotion.

 Fortunately, martial law has been enforced outside, and no one can come in. Although the base here is shared with the Huating Aircraft Factory, it is clearly separated and it is impossible for them to come here.

 The domestic security measures are much stricter than those at Lao Maozi's place.

Alright, just watch it.

Qin Tao knew that these two planes had great appeal to everyone.

"As a carrier-based aircraft, the wings must be foldable, which will increase the weight of the aircraft. In addition, the landing gear has also been strengthened. Therefore, when an ordinary land-based fighter is converted into a carrier-based aircraft, the mass will increase. It can even increase by more than one ton." Qin Tao also introduced: "However, when we produce it ourselves, we can use composite materials on a large scale to reduce the weight of the aircraft. After all, while the total weight remains unchanged, the weight of the aircraft will be reduced. Its own weight can be used to increase weapon mounts and fuel."

"Especially its nose, which uses radar equipment weighing one ton, is too backward. In the future, when we can produce it ourselves, we can replace it with our own radar equipment. For this radar, the weight reduction of 500 kilograms will not be affected. question."

 Military fans all know that the Su-27 is a beautifully designed aircraft, but this aircraft is hampered by radar.

It was originally planned to equip a flat-panel gap radar, but as a result, the relevant agencies were not strong enough to come up with it. In the end, the radar used by the MiG-29 could only be simply enlarged and installed. Therefore, the entire radar plus the cooling system weighed A ton of these terrible numbers.

Because the radar was overweight, Simonov and his team began to reduce the weight of the aircraft and even drilled holes in the beams. In this way, the aircraft eventually developed rickets. In the transonic range, if the overload exceeds At 7.5G, it may fall apart. This is the speed range most commonly used by fighter jets for close combat.

 So, the Su-27 still has flaws.

Lao Maozi's electronic technology is not satisfactory. Our domestic ones are catching up. 14 institutes have already developed a flat-panel aperture radar and installed it on a Flying Leopard fighter-bomber for testing. When it matures, it can be replaced domestically at any time.

Mr. Gu nodded: "Yes, in the aviation industry, the proportion of composite materials used is increasing, which can greatly reduce the weight of the aircraft. However, this weight cannot be reduced casually. If the weight is reduced casually, Then the plane's center of gravity may change. The plane may even lose control."

 Losing weight is not something that can be done casually.

Taking the domestic J-7 as an example, in the 1980s, under the leadership of Mr. Tu, improvements were made. Marconi’s radar equipment was used on the nose to reduce the weight.

 However, the center of gravity of the aircraft has changed. In order to avoid risks, an additional piece of cement is added to the nose of the aircraft for counterweight. Later, when it was changed to a double-delta wing aircraft, a lot of aerodynamic calculations were done before the counterweight was finally removed.

 This is only a second-generation machine.

 The third-generation Su-27 has a beautiful aerodynamic layout, but with the strength of the 601 Institute, it will still take a long time to fully understand it.

"We need to thoroughly understand its technology." Qin Tao said: "There are many projects in the Su-27 that need to be improved. For example, the analog telex needs to be replaced by a digital telex, and the entire electronic system of the aircraft needs to be replaced. In this way, Only in this way can we use our own weapon systems. Now we import Su-27, and we also have to import supporting missiles. Lao Maozi will not open the weapon interface to us. We have to replace these, and we can change them ourselves at any time in the future."

“Yes, Tao Zi is right.” Wu Shengli agreed with his son-in-law.

The import of the Su-27 allowed the Air Force to obtain the capability of medium-range interception for the first time. However, this required the purchase of Lao Maozi's air-to-air missiles. If you hit one of these missiles, you will lose one. In peacetime, you need to purchase a certain number of missiles. It's okay to come for training, but what about during war? The inventory of missiles is used up, and then the relevant suppliers do not sell them. There are too many things.

In addition to money issues, there are also strategic considerations. Therefore, the Air Force must have air-to-air missiles that can be produced domestically.

 In fact, domestic air-to-air missile technology has been developing. After the introduction of relevant technologies from noodle countries in the 1980s, domestic air-to-air missiles have also been developed.

So, can domestically produced missiles be mounted on imported fighter planes?

Of course not, this requires people to open the weapons interface, and only a fool would provide it. On the one hand, it is the requirement of technical confidentiality, and on the other hand, it is driven by interests. Will it not be good to sell missiles in the long term in the future?

Therefore, after entering the 21st century, the first batch of imported Su-27SKs that were used intensively were retired soon after reaching their end of life. This made military fans sigh with emotion, Lian Po is old and can still eat! Wouldn’t it be nice to continue using it to extend your life?

 The answer is that it is not good. Compared with improvements, the newly manufactured J-11 can mount various weapons produced by itself, which is the best choice. In this regard, it must not be controlled by others.

 Mr. Gu nodded. Of course he knew how important it was to thoroughly understand the Su-27's technology and then improve it. but…

"It's a little early for us to say this now." Mr. Gu said: "After all, we have talked with Lao Maozi several times, and Lao Maozi has not let go. They just plan to sell finished products and have no plans to sell production lines at all. Now Lao Maozi , He is no longer the old man he used to be!”

 Speaking of these, Mr. Gu was still filled with emotion.

When the motherland was first founded, the relationship with Lao Maozi was very good. The first aircraft factory in the old industrial base in Northeast China was established with the help of Lao Maozi, and it directly produced the most advanced aircraft in the world at that time. Advanced jet fighter.

From the J-5, to the J-6, and then to the J-7, even though the relationship with Lao Maozi had broken down at that time, the drawings of the carts were still extremely precious. Without those drawings, it would be impossible to imitate the MiG-21. come out.

What now?

 The current negotiations are very difficult!

Speaking of this, Wu Shengli was also very emotional: "Yes! After the Air Force purchased those batches of Su-27, it was very satisfied with the performance of the aircraft and wanted to continue purchasing and introduce production lines. This is of great significance to us. One thing. However, Lao Maozi also grasped this point about us and refused to let go and provide us with a production line."

Selling eggs or selling hens that lay eggs? Needless to say?

 Lao Maozi refused to let go, and the negotiations were at a stalemate.

The Navy is still waiting eagerly. Now that it has obtained the prototype of the Su-33, the Navy is eagerly looking forward to replicating this carrier-based aircraft after domestic production. Qin Tao also plans this, so , got these two T-10Ks.

 It’s a pity that we haven’t made any preliminary preparations yet!

 Qin Tao smiled: "They are trying to take advantage of us, but we are not easy to take advantage of." Qin Tao said: "They are not the ones who have planes."

"You mean Dassault's Mirage 2000?" Mr. Gu analyzed: "In the past, this was indeed possible, but now that Wanwan has purchased a batch, it is impossible for us to purchase the same type of aircraft as theirs. Even if you say it, no one will believe it!”

Qin Tao originally had no intention of getting into this aspect, but now, after hearing what Mr. Gu said, he remembered something. It was easy to cause trouble for the guys on the opposite side, it was a piece of cake.

But let’s arrange it later. For now, let’s talk about our own thoughts.

“Of course not, there is more than just Sukhoi in the Mao family. If Sukhoi doesn’t provide a production line, let’s go to Mikoyan Design Bureau!”

Snapped!

Wu Shengli patted his thigh: "Yeah, why didn't we think of it?"
