"Or is the plane in the past? Yun Shi has become our special plane. As long as Factory 691 is not like 742, Xie Kai is relieved. "By the way, how did Mr. Ma talk to Qin Fei over there?"

"This time I also had a relationship with them in the past, and the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. Zheng Yucheng said.

It's all a matter of passing by this way.

"What about the Pakistani negotiations?"

"Chill them for a few days, or we will always think that we are begging them to cooperate now. Zheng Yucheng said with a cold face, "If you give them some color, you want to open a dyeing workshop, you can't continue, you can't do nothing just to negotiate with them." ”

Xie Kai nodded, anyway, if he continued to consume, he couldn't make any breakthroughs, so it was better to be cold to the other party first.

Yun Shi became a special plane for several of them to go out, which is a fact that cannot be denied.

None of the country's leaders have the luxury of theirs.

"It can't be said that Yun Shi has become our special plane, and now Yun Shi's high-intensity and high-frequency take-off and landing has been going on, we don't sit, and the cost will not be less. Wang Guilin reminded Xie Kai.

"If you take a train or drive, there are no three or four days to get to Qin Fei here, and it will take another three or four days to return. Zheng Yucheng now feels that time is extremely urgent.

Before, he didn't think that there were more and more base projects, but he felt that the time was getting more and more insufficient.

"I didn't say anything, look at your reaction. Xie Kai didn't know why the two of them reacted so much, and he didn't want to waste time on the road, it was extremely inconvenient to go out in this era.

The safety performance of the aircraft is a concern for Xie Kai.

Yun-10 is still in the process of test flights.

"Don't you just want to say that we are wasting funds and being too corrupt?" Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai, "You kid is not sitting less." Xie Kai, you say, how about building an airport at our base? It's really inconvenient to go outside. ”

Xie Kai's eyes instantly widened.

Zheng Yucheng: What do you think?

Can the superiors agree to build an airfield on the side of the 404 base?

At present, the base is still in a state of secrecy, and the construction of the airfield will not expose the target.

"It's easy to build just one runway, right in the ditch of our weapons test site, so it's easy for our base to get to the outside world. Wang Guilin said the same.

Xie Kai is even more incredible.

The base management committee has reached a consensus to repair the airport?

"We discussed it, and in the future, there will be more projects and more cooperation with the outside world, and it is not a matter to always count on a train every day. Zheng Yucheng explained, "I also asked before, if it is a civilian airport, it will be troublesome, but our army base is already an armament base, and it will not be illegal to build a supporting airport." ”

"That's a good thing. Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai and said.

"What are you looking at me for? It's too much of a sin to go out and blow the wind in the Z-5 for a few hours. Xie Kai knew that the two of them were afraid of their opposition. "What's the budget?"

"It's less than 10 million, the inside of the ditch is flat, and there are hard rocks underneath, just build a runway and a terminal, after all, it's not a civil aviation airport. Zheng Yucheng hurriedly said.

Then he took out the work notebook he had brought with him, took out a pen, and drew a picture on it.

The base is located inside the Qilian Mountains, and to the west is a wide ravine, hundreds of meters wide, and the widest place is more than hundreds of meters. It is more than ten kilometers long, and the ground is full of pebbles, and the construction of the airport does not require much engineering, as long as it is leveled by the ground, there is no problem with hardening.

"When the time comes, the helicopters of the garrison regiment can also be parked here, and the mountains on both sides can be processed and a fighter ......hangar can be built," Zheng Yucheng introduced to Xie Kai as he drew a sketch.

The whole plan is definitely not something that can be taken out in a short period of time.

It should be a plan designed by experts.

"This plan didn't come up in the past few days, right?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng and the two.

"A few years ago, we were preparing to build the airport, at that time the base was in a good situation, and various units had projects in it, and people often entered the base, and they had to take a detour from the southwest side of the mountain to get in by car, and the train was Jiayuguan in the north, and if there was any emergency, they could only take a helicopter to the nearest airport......" Wang Guilin's explanation made Xie Kai understand why it was so easy for the people from the base to go out and take the garrison helicopter.

The base is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest cities, and the transportation of materials depends on trains.

This is also the reason why the garrison regiment has helicopters.

Nationwide, only such a special unit as 404 is equipped with Z-5, and the number has reached five!

It's just because it's too inconvenient to transport.

Due to time problems, it is impossible to wait for the train that runs once a day, so they choose a helicopter instead, coming in in the morning and leaving in the evening.

The construction of the airport was proposed in the seventies, and the design of the airport was completed by the military engineering personnel.

It was preparing to be built, the reform and opening up began, the national strategic focus shifted to the economy, and the project teams of various units withdrew from the 404 base, and there was no source of funding, so the construction of this airport was shelved.

Now that the base has money, it naturally began to put this matter on the agenda.

Relying only on train and car transportation is not beneficial to the development of the entire 404 base.

"This plan was originally approved?" Xie Kai was surprised.

Zheng Yucheng nodded, "If you had the money, the construction has already started, and the construction period will not be too long, the preparation for the transportation of various materials has begun, and the cadre dormitories built at the base were originally used to build the airport." ”

Xie Kai has always been curious, the base has no money, and he is so poor that he can't afford to pay his salary, where does he get the money to buy various building materials to build welfare housing.

In the depths of the Qilian Mountains in the northwest, the transportation of various materials is not an easy task.

"I think we should revise the airport construction plan. Although there are not many airports that can take off and land in China, I think we should think about the future, what if there are bigger planes?"

When you build an airport, you don't need to take a straight-5 to another airport when you go out.

It is not easy to make a helicopter that is more advanced than the Z-5 and fly about 500 kilometers.

I don't know what the people who chose the site for the construction of Base 404 thought about in the first place.

"In the third-line construction back then, these were all capital that turned over. Wang Guilin's words made Xie Kai understand why the base chose to be here.

There are many third-tier enterprises in China, and most of them are technical backups of various units.

In the event of the outbreak of war, these factories in the third-tier areas far away from the hinterland of the country will become important weapons and equipment production units.

The purpose of building the third front is to back up the country's industrial base and avoid the destruction of important industrial facilities by the enemy as soon as the war starts, and the troops will be left without the supply of weapons and equipment.

When I chose an address, the more remote it was, the safer it was.

Nowadays, the more remote it is, the more difficult it is to develop.

The construction of an airport is of great significance to the development of 404.

Xie Kai naturally wouldn't stop it.

"As long as you agree, we'll get started. Zheng Yucheng saw that Xie Kai did not object, and said with a smile.

Xie Kai pouted, "I'm against being useful, as long as the funds can keep up." Whether we are a scientific research unit or a self-funded unit that is not funded by the superiors, we must keep sufficient working capital. ”

The importance of cash flow to a unit cannot be overstated.

It is not easy to build a base, even with a loan.

A project can easily cost tens of millions of dollars, and the risk is extremely high, and it is not easy to count on foreign arms purchase orders.

"We know that there are no thirty or fifty million funds in the account of our finance department, and my waist is not straight. "Zheng Yucheng is telling the truth.

Rich, wealthy, and different.

At present, construction is being carried out everywhere in the country, and it is not easy to get the materials. Wang Guilin asked Zheng Yucheng, also testing Xie Kai.

Trains at the base, which mainly transport supplies, increase to a maximum of two flights a day, even if the demand is high.

It is not an easy task to transport construction materials from outside.

"Construction materials are not good, are they? Xie Kai asked worriedly.

In the 80s, domestic reinforced concrete was a scarce material, and money may not be able to buy it.

Many state-owned enterprises require approval from the competent authorities at a higher level.

"That's a problem for small units, we don't exist. There are also many cement factories in the northwest......" Wang Guilin said with a mysterious expression.

Although the 404 base is not good now, there are a lot of old relationships.

It is not easy to find local leaders, and it is naturally not a problem to find superiors from superiors to order approvals or something.

"You don't have to think about this, Lao Wang, since you want to do it, you have to bother to find the original engineering design team, and make the airport bigger for us, and it is best to take off and land all the planes in the world. "Xie Kai said that if you want to make it bigger, then make it bigger.

The big deal is that the runway is a little more slender.

As for the land occupied?

As long as 404 is rich and willing to repair, it is not a problem to build all of them within a radius of 100 kilometers.

This area, except for 404, is surrounded by no man's land.

Xie Kai also has some expectations, if it is really built, do you want to get back the An-225 left in Ukraine in the future?

It was the crystallization of the top technology of Soviet aerospace technology, and it was comfortable to look at the base of 404 when it came back, right?

"Alright, the helicopter is coming, let's go. Let Wang Ming inform the Pakistanis that the negotiations will be put aside for a while, we have important things to be busy with. Zheng Yucheng said, "When the airport is built, we don't have to sit up straight-5 and suffer." ”

"That's nature. Fly wherever you want, anyway, there are at least two Yun Ten. Wang Guilin also smiled, "At that time, it was easy for the superior leaders to come to inspect the work. ”
