Chapter 563 A piece of cloth on my head, I am the richest in the world

Lei Qiang, fully dressed, stepped onto the plane. Now he is not only the chief test pilot of the J-10, but also the chief test pilot of the J-31A. A is the stage for his performance.

  The engine at the rear finally started, and the roar kept ringing. Lei Qiang looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside, feeling a little excited.

   "J-31A request to take off!"

   "You can take off, the show will take ten minutes, please be safe!"

"receive!"

  Lei Qiang pushed the accelerator lever to the end, the engine at the rear roared, he turned on the afterburner again luxuriously, and then released the brake.

  J-31A began to roll on the runway, and the speed was getting faster and faster. After only sliding 300 meters, he pulled up the nose of the plane, and then the whole fighter plane went straight into the sky.

  The people around were stunned.

  So fierce?

The take-off and landing characteristics of the second-generation aircraft are very bad. The flight performances of the J-7 and J-8 are always slow. The third-generation aircraft takes off very quickly with their powerful engines and excellent aerodynamic layout. I don't know how, especially the domestic fourth-generation aircraft, who knows how maneuverable this aircraft designed with stealth in mind.

   Now, countless people cheered after taking off. This plane is too powerful, not only has excellent stealth ability, but also has unambiguous maneuverability!

   This is of course the credit of the turbofan fifteen engine.

Although the deadweight is a bit heavy, the turbofan 15 is a powerful engine with an afterburning thrust of 15.5 tons after all. Now in the performance state, the whole machine is less than 14 tons, and the thrust-to-weight ratio has already exceeded 1. In this case, The aircraft will naturally have excellent maneuverability.

  After take-off, the plane began to climb at a high angle of attack, with a full 70-degree angle of attack, piercing the sky, and the audience cheered again.

   Beautiful, so beautiful!

  Domestic fighters have never made such an action before!

   Lei Qiang in the cockpit is also extremely happy, and his maneuverability at this time is not inferior to that of the J-10 with a canard layout! If J-10 is replaced with this kind of engine, it will be more powerful, right?

He withdrew his mind and continued to perform various pre-programmed dazzling maneuvers. Although he did not have the Su-27's post-stall maneuverability and could not perform maneuvers such as super cobras, the pre-programmed maneuvers, Still attracted the attention of countless viewers!

  The camera of the reporter kept snapping and snapping photos, capturing wonderful moments.

  Among the crowd, a few men with white cloths on their heads looked up at the plane that was performing, with amazed gazes in their eyes.

   "This aircraft looks good."

   "Yes, we didn't expect that there are such advanced fighter jets in the East!"

   "This is the second stealth fighter in the world. We must purchase this kind of aircraft, so as to effectively enhance our national strength!"

   "That's right, then what are we waiting for? Go to the booth of Mingzhou Group and discuss the procurement of this aircraft!"

There was only one VTOL fighter left on the stand. Zhao Dangsheng sat on a chair to rest and chatted with Qin Tao who had just walked over. It's a thrill.

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is our Lord Salman. We have been watching your aircraft performance just now, and we are very interested in your fighter plane." One of them began to introduce in Chinese .

   "That's right, we want to take a closer look at the J-31A fighter jet. What is the specific performance of this fighter jet?" Salman said.

  Qin Tao was overjoyed suddenly, with a piece of cloth on his head, "I am the richest in the world, I didn't expect to be spotted by a big money lord!"

"Our fighter is the best choice for you. Now, let's ask our fighter designer to introduce you in detail." Qin Tao immediately pushed Zhao Dangsheng out, and looked around at the same time. Here, is there a model of the J-31A? Hurry up and show me one for the big dog!

   Zhao Dangsheng began to explain incessantly.

"The era of the future must belong to stealth aircraft. There must be not only stealth attack aircraft, but also stealth fighter jets. Our J-31A is based on this kind of thinking and is built through international cooperation. According to your needs, fighter jets should be ordinary land-based fighter jets, and we will talk about the performance of land-based fighter jets."

Most of the top executives of the big dog family understand English, so Zhao Dangsheng simply communicated with them in English, explaining the data of various aircraft in great detail, and bragging about the tactics of various stealth aircraft, directly ignoring the people on the opposite side. Speaking with interest.

   "Your fighter jet is so good, if we order it now, when can we deliver it?" Salman asked.

   It’s good to have money. You don’t need to ask the price at all, just ask when you can get it.

"I'm sorry, if you are only planning to purchase now, the delivery will be at least ten years later." Zhao Dangsheng said: "After all, our aircraft is built according to the international cooperation method. Before your side, Several customers have already invested in R&D, and we have to deliver to them first.”

   “How much are they spending on research and development?” Salman asked.

   "The largest one has invested 500 million U.S. dollars." Zhao Dangsheng replied: "So, when the test flight is completed and delivery begins, we need to deliver to this customer first."

   "Then we invest one billion, no, two billion!" Salman said: "In this way, we should be able to become the largest country participating in the research and development of this aircraft?"

  Two billion dollars!

   These words almost made Zhao Dangsheng faint.

  The research and development of the fourth-generation aircraft requires a huge amount of funds, but Dongfang has always been frugal. The entire research and development process of the J-10 only cost four billion yuan. The J-31A is a stealth aircraft, so it will definitely cost more, but the funds raised in the initial stage are already quite a lot.

Now, another two billion US dollars suddenly came in, not only until the research and development is completed, there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient research and development funds, but there is still a considerable amount of funds that can be used to transform the production line of the factory, It can make the production efficiency of the factory higher!

"That's right, if you can invest two billion US dollars, you will be the largest country participating in the research and development of this project. We can arrange that after five years of finalized production, a part of the production capacity will be allocated to you." Qin Tao immediately nodded.

  Since spending so much money, of course it must be worth the money, and the money must be worth it.

   "It will be finalized after five years?" Salman is obviously still a little dissatisfied.

"Yes, our aircraft is still in the test flight stage, and the test flight will last for several years. The weapons carried on our aircraft are also under development. All of these will take time." Qin Tao said: "It is a stealth aircraft after all. , it is impossible to be equipped with troops as quickly as other ordinary aircraft.”

  Salman is still a little dissatisfied: "It still takes that long?"

"Of course." Qin Tao said: "For example, the airborne radar used on this aircraft will be an active phased array radar, which is a generation ahead of the current fighter radar, and the research and development of this radar will cost a lot of money. It will take a long time, of course, after it is developed, it will have the strongest performance, when it concentrates all the beams together, it is enough to detect the enemy's stealth aircraft tens of kilometers away."

   "For example, its modern cockpit will use voice control, and we have to develop a version for your language."

  "Its weapon system adopts a fully built-in method. We are currently developing air-to-air missiles specially for it, and strive to put six in its built-in bomb bay."

   It will take a long time to finish such a speech, and Salman can only nod: "Okay, we can wait, but we still have one request."

"Speaking."

   "We hope to introduce the production line when this aircraft completes the test flight and is finalized and equipped with troops."

  Introduce the production line!

  Zhao Dangsheng's eyes widened. This request is a bit too much. This is the most advanced joint fighter in the world! Not even the Yankees, of course we can only export the complete machine. If we export the production line, God knows if you will leak the secrets to the Americans? After all, your relationship with the Americans is the best.

"We can talk about the introduction of the production line in the future. As long as your purchase is large enough, we will consider the export of the production line in the future. We don't have to think about it so much now. Everyone, on behalf of Mingzhou Group, I welcome you to make a decision. The right choice, but I still want to remind everyone, in case of pressure, can you withstand the pressure?"

  Arms export has always been not just a military matter, it will inevitably involve other aspects. These people in front of them are very rich, and funds are not a problem, but there will be big problems in other aspects.

The domestic weapons of these customers are almost all American-made, especially fighter jets. They have been operating the American-made F-15 since the 1980s. This is a world-renowned heavy-duty air fighter with first-class performance. It is also ranked first in the world.

  In later generations, they continued to introduce Typhoons and other fighter jets, so that there were more aircraft than pilots.

  They are not short of money, but buying fighter jets is not just a matter of money, it involves more issues such as national defense policy.

   Now, they purchase J-31A, what will the Americans think?

Hearing Qin Tao's words, Salman frowned: "Yeah, this is indeed a big problem, but we have no choice. The American JSF fighter project does not welcome us. If we want to get a stealth fighter , it has to be purchased from a third party.”

  Seeing that the East has started to build joint fighter jets, the Americans can't sit still, and they also want to build advanced joint fighter jets, and they also use the method of international cooperation.

   However, for Americans, allies are also divided into ranks.

  Britain is the best partner of the United States, and will be the first foreign customer to get JSF, and several other countries are one level lower.

  Where is the big dog in front of you?

  If you want to join, you can, but you have to meet certain conditions, for example, first sign a normalization agreement with the Kingdom of David.

  Of course the big dog is not willing. If it is signed, how can it be the regional leader? If they don't sign it, it is impossible for the Americans to sell this advanced aircraft to them. What if it is used by a big dog to deal with David?

  If the Americans are willing to sell, of course the big dogs will not come to the East. Now, they are also full of anger.

   "In this case, you might as well sign an agreement with us." Qin Tao said: "For example, if you plan to purchase 100 aircraft, if you give up in the end, you will have to compensate us a large sum of money."

  Zhao Dangsheng felt a chill in his heart, this President Qin started to fool customers again!

"In this way, if the transaction is under pressure from the outside world, then you can say that if the project is terminated, you need to pay a large amount of compensation, and whoever puts pressure on you will get the money. "

  Even Xu Zhengyang was shocked. Mr. Qin's brain circuit is really incomprehensible!

   However, the customer really listened to it.

   "Yes, this is indeed an excuse. We can sign a similar agreement. Even if we are forced to give up at that time, we will have to ask others to pay us a large sum of money!"

Xu Zhengyang was shocked in his heart, and Qin Tao had a smile on his face: "Of course, we still hope that we will not get compensation, and we hope that our weapons will become your trump card, just like those logs before. .”

  The big dog family is very rich. Back then, a log worth 100 million U.S. dollars shocked the country beyond compare. Of course, such a local tyrant cannot be speculated by common sense.

   "You can pay the two billion U.S. dollars in five years, so that after five years, you will almost receive the first batch of fighters."

Hearing Qin Tao's suggestion, Salman shook his head: "Of course not, this is too cumbersome. We will pay two billion US dollars in one lump sum. In this way, if someone wants to hinder our project, in addition to compensation, we have to pay Let's fill this two billion dollar hole we have."

  What is a trench? Two billion U.S. dollars, cash can be paid directly, without any hesitation!

  It's a pity that the dog's navy is not very developed. It would be even more exciting if we could sell them an aircraft carrier. Gou Dahu is a traditional land power. Although it is adjacent to the sea on both sides, it is a long and narrow sea area. In addition, it has a good relationship with the United States. Therefore, Gou Dahu only needs to have an aircraft. There is no need for an aircraft carrier, and they do not have global deployment. Need, as long as the security of the region can be maintained.

  The agreement was signed immediately, and the funds will arrive in the account soon. Qin Tao is also very happy to send away the big dog.

   "Boss Qin, the relationship between them and the Anxi Kingdom is not very good." Xu Zhengyang thought of something, and said to Qin Tao with some concern: "Now that they have joined in, will the Anxi Kingdom be dissatisfied?"

  Back then, Parthia purchased Tomcat fighters, and the big dog bought F-15s. Anyway, the two sides cannot use the same fighter. Now, if they both purchase Tomcat fighters, there may be problems!

   "What's the matter? Our fighters are sold all over the world. Even both sides of the war can purchase our fighters, let alone hostile ones."

There have never been any political strings attached to the export of weapons from the East. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can sell them. In the wars of the 1980s, the weapons used by both sides were purchased from the East. live together in the factory.

  Of course, Qin Tao would not reject the big dog just because he avoids Anxi, but the big dog is really rich.

"However, if the big dogs want to purchase our fighters, they will face many problems. The Americans will definitely not agree with this purchase, and will definitely put pressure on the big dogs. If they don't purchase at that time, the investment We will definitely not refund the funds.”

  The arms purchases of big dogs are either the United States, Europe, or even France. It is difficult to intervene. At this time, suddenly turning to the East and purchasing a large number of fighter jets will definitely arouse strong dissatisfaction from the Americans.

   At that time, if there are some conflicts between them, that would be even better!

  J-31A’s air show had long since ended, and the plane had slid back again. Everyone was busy for a while. On the other side of the runway, another plane was preparing to take off.

   This plane is relatively large, with a single vertical tail towering high, and the heads of the two pilots are shaking.

   "Flying Leopards are here too." Qin Tao said with some emotion, "This kind of aircraft is actually the mainstay of our navy!"

  J-31A is very tall, and J-15 is also very beautiful, but these aircraft are either still under development or too expensive.

  The Flying Leopard is different. This kind of aircraft is cheap to purchase and has moderate performance, especially its long range, which satisfies the navy the most: it can take off from Qiongzhou without refueling in the air, fly around the southern waters and come back.

  Although there are already runways in the southern waters, maintenance is inconvenient after all. The Qiongzhou base is still the most important. Flying Leopard fighter-bombers have become the most suitable equipment for the navy to patrol the southern waters by virtue of its long range.

   Su-27 and Su-30 are of course also available, but they are too expensive.

  Amidst the roar, the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber flew into the sky. It could only fly smoothly and rarely perform maneuvers. It was definitely not at the same level as the J-31A just now.

  However, Qin Tao attaches great importance to this kind of aircraft.

"That's right, although this kind of plane looks ugly, it is the plane that our navy values ​​most at present." Just when Qin Tao was feeling emotional, a group of people walked over, looking at the familiar face at the front, Qin Tao smiled He smiled: "Dad, are you here too?"

   "Well, I happen to be free today, so come here to join in the fun. I heard that you just signed another contract with the big benefactor."

   "Well, I signed a contract, but there are still many variables in it." Qin Tao nodded: "Dad, are you going back today? If we go back, we will be together."

  Wu Shengli nodded: "Well, we can go together."

   "Mr. Qin, you speak highly of our Flying Leopard fighter-bomber, we are very excited." A person who came with Wu Shengli said.

   This person has gray hair and is in good spirits. It is Mr. Chen, the designer of the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber!

   "Old Chen, I'm just a shipbuilder, and I don't have much experience in building airplanes."

Mr. Chen had a smile on his face: "Yeah, you have no experience, and in the end you created the J-31A and became the most famous joint fighter in the world. Those of us who specialize in aircraft can't compare to it." You are an amateur!"

   "This is unintentional." Qin Tao said: "Old Chen, your flying leopards should have been finalized and equipped with troops, right? For our navy, flying leopards are indispensable!"

"It's a pity that this kind of aircraft has just been developed, and it is already outdated." Chen Lao said: "Its overall level is actually still on the second-generation aircraft. If we make some improvements, or even make it a stealth aircraft, then Enough!"

   Speaking of this, Old Chen's eyes were filled with anticipation.

  As the chief designer of Flying Leopard, Mr. Chen certainly hopes that this aircraft will have more advanced capabilities. The J-31A fighter jet of Mingzhou Group is already a powerful stealth fighter jet, and has been recognized by many foreign customers. They also hope to develop a similar type of aircraft.

   Stealth leopard?

  Qin Tao thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "Old Chen, I'm afraid this will be very difficult."

   "Mr. Qin, please speak." Mr. Chen listened carefully.

"Our Flying Leopard fighter-bomber is positioned as an anti-ship missile carrier in the navy. If it is improved in stealth, it means that it needs to have a built-in bomb bay. We are carrying big guys. It is not easy to build a bomb bay. It can be put down, especially those big missiles in the future."

At present, the standard equipment of the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber is four YJ-81 missiles. In the future, it will be replaced with YJ-83, and even YJ-12. It's not easy in the cabin.

  If it can only be plugged in, it will lose its invisibility.

   "The mission of the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber in our army is to bomb the truck. You should improve it from this perspective, especially its ultra-low-altitude flight capability. It is best to make some improvements to the wings."

In later generations, Flying Leopards were widely used, not only by the Navy, but also by the Air Force, and they often conducted high-intensity training, which resulted in some flight accidents. These were related to the original design of Flying Leopards. Well, the Flying Leopard is really not suitable for low-altitude and high-speed penetration on land. The wings don't even have a leading edge flap, and the low-altitude performance is very poor.

  If you want to improve, you still have to change in this direction. Anyway, although there are many rumors in later generations, Feibao has never come up with a stealth modification.

  Mr. Chen nodded: "Boss Qin, what you said makes sense. Our production has already started, and the next improvement has to be put on the agenda. The direction of improvement can't be wrong."

"Taozi is right. Don't do any stealth. It's best to improve the basic performance of this aircraft." Wu Shengli also agreed with Qin Tao's words. Think about the huge Eagle Strike-12 hanging on the Flying Leopard From the scene under the wing, you can know that this thing is absolutely impossible to build.
