Chapter 483 Lao Maozi wants to stop it? Get the stuff from the bottom of the box!

Let’s go back to the initial judgment: Institute 601 simply does not have the ability to develop advanced fighter jets on its own. Their technical level is to develop a J-8 fighter jet at high altitude and high speed. Therefore, Institute 601 must be based on their Su- 27. Let’s develop a three-wing fighter!

Recalling that some time ago, 601 requested to purchase a special AL-31F3 engine, they became even more clear: after being rejected, the Orientals still did not give up the plan, but planned to use domestic engines instead!

If they just build a few imitations of the Su-33, forget it. The problem is, they can clearly see that if the modification of the R-79 is used in Project 11, then Dongfang will not be able to do so in the future. I know how to shop for third uncle!

 They originally planned to use engines to restrict Dongfang, but what was the result?

 Being bypassed!

 They are annoyed, they are angry, but they also have a sense of powerlessness.

The other party is only willing to reveal that it is a three-wing aircraft. The other party will not say what it is specifically.

Although they are all produced in Factory 112, the confidentiality system in the factory is still very strict. They have no access to this independently developed project of 601 Institute. They will only see it during the test flight. However, by that time , everything is too late!

 Emelyanov clenched his fists.

At this moment, a car drove over and stopped at the door. An old man and an Oriental man got out. The faces of these two people seemed to be very familiar!

 “Pleshakov!”

 “Mr. Qin!”

Hearing the call, Pleshakov stopped in his hurry, looked at the people standing, and then recognized them: "Emelyanov, why are you here?"

“We are engineers sent by Sukhoi, Pleshakov, what are you doing here?”

 “That’s right, aren’t you working on a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet?”

When the J-31A was publicly displayed, it was always Zhao Dangsheng who came forward. Behind the scenes of Pleshakov’s election, even the usual title was Mao. However, many people on Lao Maozi’s side still knew Insiders know that a large number of Yak-141 designers are involved in this J-31A fighter project.

Now, they felt strange that Pleshakov came here.

  “Yes, let me introduce some experience, especially on the engine.”

 Engine experience!

Everyone's heart skipped a beat again, is there any need to say this? It must be the experience of the R-79 engine!

Different engines have different parameters, not only thrust and size, but also special indicators such as intake air flow, surge margin, etc. Therefore, if Institute 601 wants to install the engine on an aircraft, it must not only There must be some special engine nacelle structural parts to stuff the engine in, and other means must be used to ensure the stability of the aircraft.

 Now, Pleshakov is here to help.

After all, the R-79 engine is used on the J-31A. The designers who developed this aircraft also have the most experience in engine layout. They came to impart their experience, which means that this project is progressing steadily. In progress!

“Sorry, I have to go in and do some work. When we are free, let’s drink together.” Pleshakov said and walked in.

Qin Tao also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Yemelyanov.

“Mr. Qin, are you okay? Do we want a drink?”

Qin Tao hesitated.

“Mr. Qin, you are a good friend of our Da Mao. Since we meet, we must have a drink!”

"Okay, let's go have a drink." At this time, Qin Tao secretly laughed in his heart. In the past, he would get old people drunk and then make friends with them. Now, these old people actually want to do the same thing and want to make friends with them. Get him drunk, then befriend him and get things out of his mouth.

This is so naive!

However, what he wants is this opportunity.

Everything that should be paved has been laid, and only the final word is left. This work must be completed by him.

For these Lao Maozi, whether it is 112 or 601, they are very good. They also prepared a bar for them, so that Lao Maozi can drink a drink after get off work.

The bar plays a beautiful Lao Maozi song, and anyone with a little experience can tell it is Katyusha.

"Come, drink!" Yemelyanov raised his glass: "Mr. Qin, when our Su-27 was able to be sold to the East, you also played an important role in it. Because of you, we saved our collective life." Qingcheng, we can live a good life thanks to you."

"This has nothing to do with me." Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "I was just joining in the fun."

“Mr. Qin, you are well-known over here, and many people say that as long as we are friends with you, there will be benefits.”

"That's true. I just like to make friends."

“Mr. Qin, we should be friends now, right?”

 “That’s right.”

“Then do we know what work you and Pleshakov have here?”

"Well, you guys are making things difficult for me. You should also know that these are top secrets." Qin Tao said, "If I tell you, it will be a leak. Although we are friends, I still have to stick to my principles. ah."

 A trace of disappointment flashed in Yemelyanov's eyes.

“Of course, I can’t say the purpose of coming, but I can talk about the progress of our J-31A project.”

 “Mr. Qin, please speak!” Yemelyanov’s eyes showed expectation.

"Every subsystem of this aircraft is very smooth. Take its engine as an example. After we introduced a full set of R-79 engine technology, we built a domestically produced turbofan 15 engine based on this technology. , its test results are very good, this engine has become our most advanced domestic aviation engine. In addition to being used on our J-31A, it will definitely be used on other fighter jets."

 Engine!

 The problem they are most concerned about is the engine. Now that they hear Qin Tao say this, it is almost certain.

"And its avionics equipment." Qin Tao continued: "We have overcome the difficulties of flat-panel gap radar in China. The Shenying radar we developed has advanced performance and moderate caliber, and can be equipped on the J-31A On the fighter plane, coupled with our own developed air-to-air missiles, this fighter plane will have strong combat capabilities."

At this time, Yemelyanov was still thinking about the engine. He had not yet paid attention to the radar and avionics equipment Qin Tao mentioned. When Qin Tao finished speaking, he suddenly realized and his expression suddenly changed: "Is your own supporting avionics already so advanced?"

“Yes, we know the gaps in these aspects, so we have been working hard to improve our technology.” Qin Tao said: “Our digital fly-by-wire flight control has also matured.”

 Emelyanov was completely confused.

I originally thought that the other party was just replacing the engine, but now it seems that things are not that simple. The other party is planning to completely replace the engine. In addition to the engine, there are also radars, flight controls, etc., all of which will be replaced. In this way, there is no need to ask for help from Lao Maozi. By purchasing any parts, Dongfang can produce fighters similar to the Su-27.

 If this project goes ahead, how can they continue to make money? Even the existing contract to assemble two hundred aircraft cannot be completed.

 No, we must not let this happen!

“Mr. Qin, what do you think of the prospects of our cooperation projects?”

Qin Tao shook his head: "I don't know about this."

have no idea? It’s not that I am sure, but I don’t know. There is a problem, there is a problem!

 Emelyanov's heart became even more entangled.

 “Come on, Mr. Qin, have a drink!”

After finishing the glass of wine, Qin Tao looked at the people in front of him: "Do you have something on your mind?"

"No no."

 Looking at the looks of these guys, you know they won't hide their feelings.

"I can reveal some inside information. Anyway, it's all gossip and informal."

 “What’s the inside story?” Yemelyanov asked nervously.

“Originally, they didn’t plan to start a new business, but they wanted to order some engines from you, but you refused to give them life and death. This angered them, and they decided to be self-reliant.”

 What engine to order? Isn't it AL-31F3? Yemelyanov certainly knew about this matter, but he did not expect that it would cause such a big reaction.

 He ​​reported this matter to the country. After judgment, the country felt that Dongfang might be imitating a fighter jet similar to the Su-33. The country's subconscious reaction was that it was unhappy.

 Why, what qualifications do you have to imitate the Su-33? You can only purchase from us!

  What is for sale is the Su-27 production line, other aircraft must be purchased!

Da Mao has just equipped the Kuznetsov with Su-33s. If nothing else happens, the Su-33 production line will have to be shut down. Now, receiving orders from the East and continuing to produce Su-33s means that the production line can continue If it keeps running, they can make more money.

 Hence, it is impossible to sell the engine. If you want to buy it, you can only buy the whole machine.

I originally thought that Dongfang would bow its head and admit defeat and come to purchase, but unexpectedly, Dongfang was actually stimulated and wanted to produce independently!

If it were in the past, of course they would not believe it. Orientals do not have this ability!

 But what now?

 Engine, avionics, and flight control are all available on the J-31A. There is no problem at all when transplanting them to the J-55!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        .

The backward radar with reversed antenna cannot mount the weapons produced by Dongfang...

"However, I have heard that there is a problem with the current production capacity. The output of this 15-inch turbofan engine is very low and cannot meet their needs at all. Moreover, after all, it is a new engine and is not as sturdy as my third uncle." Qin Tao continued Said: "If you can export a large number of engines at a cheap price, then the project here will probably be delayed. After all, they have to develop their own research and development, and the time and energy cannot keep up. Some are useful , I will make do with it for the time being.”

 This is the most critical step!

 When Qin Tao spoke, his tone was low and his eyes were erratic. In fact, he was paying attention to everyone's reactions.

You want to delay Dongfang’s independent research and development project, or even make Dongfang abandon the project, then you should use the cheapest price to export the third uncle!

"If it is an ordinary engine, of course there is no problem, but this kind of engine is used on carrier-based aircraft!" Yemelyanov was still a little hesitant at this time.

"What kind of carrier-based aircraft? There are no aircraft carriers in the East, so what kind of carrier-based aircraft is needed?" Qin Tao said: "It's just that the navy wants to purchase a batch and plans to deploy them on the southern islands. Of course, the aircraft must be treated with salt and moisture proof Well, they are interested in the engine of this kind of carrier-based aircraft."

 “Didn’t we also talk about three wings?”

“Three wings, are you kidding me?” Qin Tao said, “It’s not that I look down on them, but at the level of the 601st Institute, they can directly add a canard wing to the Su-27, but I, Qin Tao, will go backwards!”

Right!

 Now, all the problems are solved.

Dongfang is not planning to build a carrier-based aircraft, but intends to use it for the navy. It is still an island in the south. They have heard about it a long time ago. The island in the south is being reclaimed and an airport is created. It is surrounded by sea water. If the engine of the carrier-based aircraft is used , it is definitely more durable!

 That’s right, that’s it!

“Mr. Qin, as long as we are willing to export this kind of engine, we will stop their self-research projects?” Yemelyanov asked.

"What did you say? I don't know anything!" Qin Tao started to pretend to be confused again.

have no idea?

 It was obviously you who was talking just now! Yemelyanov glanced at Qin Tao in surprise, and then suddenly realized that Mr. Qin meant to stay out of the matter. After all, what he said was not good for Dongfang.

 Mr. Qin is such a good friend!

Emelyanov was very grateful, but because he remembered this incident, he drank another glass of wine and said goodbye to Qin Tao in a hurry.

He can't make a decision. He has to tell Moscow everything that happened here. Moreover, because the matter is too important, he has to go back in person!

 At night, Yemelyanov got on a passenger plane and returned to Moscow.

 All the preparations have been completed.

   601 is brightly lit.

"Mr. Qin, will your plan work?" Mr. Gu asked Qin Tao worriedly.

“It’s up to people to plan things, and it’s up to heaven to make things happen.” Qin Tao said: “We just have to do what we should do. As for whether we can succeed, it depends on God.”

“Mr. Qin, we are very moved by your open-minded optimism. However, this project is too important to us and there cannot be any mistakes!” Li Ming said with emotion.

Qin Tao smiled: "Didn't Mao Duanzhang come here? How was your communication?"

 Qin Tao brought Plishakov with him. He was drinking with Yemelyanov and others outside, while Plishakov sat with everyone to discuss the issue of Turbofan-15.

 After saying these things, Plishakov left. After all, his J-31A project was too important. If Qin Tao hadn't called him, he wouldn't have come at all.

At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's question, Luo Yang spoke: "After his introduction, we think that using this kind of engine is not a bad choice. Especially, the prototype of the turbofan 15 has already been After the construction was completed, the relevant units began intensive modifications to increase the thrust of the engine and reduce the weight of the engine. This improved version can perfectly replace our third uncle."

The prototype of the Turbofan 15 is just the beginning. On this basis, further improvements are the key research direction of the 624 Institute and other related institutions.

 Utilize domestic progress in aero-engines to increase the turbine front temperature and reduce weight at the same time. This is the improvement goal of the first phase.

"If you don't pursue the time effect, then this modification is of course the best. The problem is that we have an important time node!" Mr. Gu said: "We can't have already started sea trials of our aircraft carrier. Our fighter jets are still waiting for engines."

 “How about we use the original version of Uncle San first instead?” Li Ming proposed a plan.

The Sea Flanker uses the specially improved Third Uncle, but if they can't get it now, they can only use land-based ones instead.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin?" Mr. Gu shouted twice before Qin Tao realized what he was doing. He was obviously thinking about other things just now.

"Mr. Qin, have you lost your mind?" Mr. Gu looked at Qin Tao amusedly.

 Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, I was just wondering whether there is still a need to develop our Turbofan 10 project."

 Turbofan ten? This is a key project of Liming Factory! Hearing Qin Tao say this, Mr. Gu's expression suddenly changed.

 Aviation engines have always been a weak point in China. The Turbofan VI, which had been in development for 20 years, finally came to an end. However, scientific research cannot be stopped, so in 1987, the development of a new generation of aero engines began again.

 It’s just that in order to reduce the risk of development, the CFM56 core machine used on passenger aircraft was directly copied.

 For Western engine research and development, the first thing to do is to develop the core engine. After the core engine is released, different outer ducts are added to become different aircraft engines, which can be used for fighter jets and passenger aircraft.

This CFM56 core machine is not only the engine of the passenger aircraft, but also the core machine of the American F110 engine. The latter is equipped on the F16 and F15. Therefore, mapping this core machine, coupled with the appropriate external duct, can become an advanced fighter engine.

In 1992, this engine had already undergone bench testing. This was of course just the beginning. According to the difficulty of developing an engine, it would take at least more than ten years of experimentation.

For domestic military aircraft, the turbofan X-10 is very important. In its glory days, it supported almost all types of domestic fighter jets. The J-11, J-15, J-16, and even the single-engine J-10 began to be replaced. .

However, at present, the maturity of Turbofan 10 still has many years, and the prototype of Turbofan 15 has been released due to the full use of Lao Maozi's technology and craftsmanship, and it is also very successful. In the later period, weight reduction and increase will be promoted. The model is released, and its performance beats that of a turbofan by more than a dozen!

 In this case, is the Turbofan 10 project unnecessary?

"Of course it is necessary." Mr. Gu immediately became anxious: "This Turbofan Fifteen is foreign after all, and the Turbofan Ten is our own. Although the Turbofan Ten will go through various difficulties, as long as the Turbofan Ten is successful, Then we have walked a complete path. In the future, we will slowly improve and improve, and it will not be too difficult. After all, this is our own child."

Qin Tao smiled: "I don't know much about this. Besides, I'm a shipbuilder, so it's not my turn to give instructions in this regard."

"Farewell, Mr. Qin, your opinion is too important. Please support the Turbofan 10 project." Mr. Gu said seriously.

Qin Tao smiled and changed the subject: "I'm exhausted today. I have to go back and rest. I'll take a look at the J-15 project tomorrow. I don't know what stage this project has developed to."

"Mr. Qin, we have started replicating the airframe in a special factory. At present, the main frame of the airframe has been installed. These are copied according to the T-10K." Luo Yang said: "And, as long as With a brand new engine, our T-10K-7 that has not been disassembled will probably be able to fly."

What?

Qin Tao opened his eyes wide: "Can that prototype fly?"

 Luo Yang nodded.

"If this prototype can fly, it means that as long as we get the engine, we can start initial training in Wasteland Village!" Qin Tao became excited: "How strong is the aircraft? "

When Delano asked him to fly the Su-27, it's hard to say about the other aircraft. No one sold Qin Tao's face, but these prototypes are different. Qin Tao got them back. As long as they can fly, Qin Tao will If Delano can be arranged to fly, Delano is even the best candidate, because we need to practice landing and so on. Delano, an excellent carrier-based aircraft pilot, has the most experience and can be a coach!

“There is no problem with the strength. We have checked it, but the engine has reached the end of its life and we cannot disassemble it and repair it,” Luo Yang said.

 “Great, let’s take a look tomorrow!”

Originally, he got two prototypes. Qin Tao wanted to let domestic technicians better imitate them. One was dismantled into parts and the other was kept intact as a prototype. However, he did not expect that one of them would have a chance to fly into the sky. .

 The next day, in the special workshop of Factory 112, Qin Tao saw the work on site.

Relevant personnel have been busy on this project for a long time. The structure of the brand-new replica aircraft has been created with longitudinal beams and beams running through the entire fuselage. From the outline, you can already see the beautiful appearance. The prototype of the J-15.

 It’s just that the internal equipment has not yet been installed. This prototype will take a long time. Moreover, even if it is assembled, it may be used for static testing and may not be able to fly.

That T-10K-7 has been completely refurbished. The exterior skin has been replaced with new aluminum alloy and painted with yellow primer.

“If this plane can still fly, it must have a number. How about calling it 15601?” Qin Tao said to everyone.

 The front represents Jian Fifteen, and the back represents 601. Anyway, this number is just a factory number and can be chosen casually.

“Mr. Qin’s suggestion is very good!”

I reply to everyone’s book reviews basically every day, but I find that most of the book reviews still cannot be displayed.
