"It's better not to let the superior head keep an eye on us. Xie Kai didn't want his superiors to stare at 404.

When the gun shoots the first bird, the leaders will always praise the 404 base for its good work and development, which will bring a lot of hatred to the 404.

That's a story for later.

In the winter, sitting in the back cabin of the leaky Zhiwu, even if he was wrapped in a military coat, Xie Kai could feel the deep chill in the northwest.

The roar of the engine and the sound of the airflow driven by the rotation of the propeller squeezed into the cabin with the cold wind, and Zheng Yucheng and others often ride, but they are used to it. Tightly wrapped in a military coat, he covered his body tightly, and curled up in a chair to sleep.

There is no way to communicate at all, and a loud roar will be drowned out by the roar of the engine.

For several hours, Xie Kai stayed up, worried that the old Z-5, flying at an altitude of thousands of meters, would fall like this.

It was still the unknown military airport, and when the group arrived, Yun Shi was already ready to take off.

With the ample funding of the 404, the plane, which was supposed to be grounded and parked on the runway outside the manufacturing plant, waiting for the years to be worn apart, is now flying happily.

Ma Fengshan and others have been in Qin Fei for the past few days, occasionally going back to the 708 Research Institute in Shanghai, most of them discussing cooperation with Qin Fei's factory.

Zheng Yucheng and his entourage arrived at Qin Fei's test flight site and landed, and Qin Fei's secretary Sun Daoqian personally greeted them with a vote of people.

"Director Zheng, it's been hard all the way!" Sun Daoqian saw Zheng Yucheng, and the wrinkles on his face were all squeezed together.

Looking at Zheng Yucheng, he saw the large amount of money that was about to arrive.

Zheng Yucheng hugged him and shook hands with each other, "I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"You are the God of Wealth, it doesn't matter how long you wait. Sun Daoqian didn't beat around the bush at all.

This is also a straightforward person.

Greeting Ma Fengshan and others one by one, Sun Daoqian introduced Qin Fei's factory director Su Xingguo and Yunba chief designer Ouyang Shaoxiu to Zheng Yucheng and others in turn.

Ma Fengshan and others took the initiative to greet Xie Kai, and it was unthinkable for a young man like Xie Kai to be so valued by Ma Fengshan and others.

Zheng Yucheng didn't focus on Xie Kai, just said that he was a disciple of the base, and then came out to gain knowledge.

"It's too late now, eat something first, drink two glasses to warm up your body and rest, how about talking about specific things tomorrow?" Sun Daoqian asked Zheng Yucheng with a smile, "I didn't tell the winner or loser when I drank last time, and I will divide the difference tonight." ”

Zheng Yucheng wanted to agree, but Xie Kai stopped him.

"Director Zheng, let's understand the situation first, we still have important things tomorrow. Xie Kai reminded Zheng Yucheng.

As soon as the old guy drank, he was uncontrollable, and when Qin Fei asked him to agree at the wine table, the cooperation behind him would have to suffer.

"I said you little comrade, this big night, what kind of work are you talking about, what kind of work is there to talk about tomorrow?" Sun Daoqian didn't know Xie Kai's specific identity, let alone consider whether Xie Kai's words could decide whether the cooperation between the two sides could be reached.

"Then let's talk about business first, the information is ready, right?" Zheng Yucheng asked Ma Fengshan and Cheng from time to time.

His reaction surprised Qin Fei's people.

"Lao Zheng, it's already past ten o'clock in the evening!" Sun Daoqian reminded.

"In our unit, there is no day or night. Let's not talk about it tonight, let's get to know the situation first. Zheng Yucheng saw Xie Kai's insistence and firmly rejected Sun Daoqian's invitation.

The cooperation with Qin Fei was promised by Sun Daoqian after he was drunk.

In addition, McDonnell Douglas came in, and the production line of Yunshi needed to be dismantled to make room for McDonnell Douglas, and the cooperation between the two sides naturally had a foundation.

What Qin Fei needs is funding, and the Yun 8 they developed is completely different from Yun 10.

The Y-8 is a four-engine turboprop aircraft, and the technical versatility of a large jet airliner like the Y-10 is actually not high.

The first project of cooperation between the parties was on military AWACS aircraft.

"Okay, let's rest first, and we'll talk about it early tomorrow morning. Sun Daoqian was not verbose.

Xie Kai's youth was already outstanding among the group, and just one sentence changed Zheng Yucheng's attitude, which made Sun Daoqian and others also pay attention to it.

"Who is that kid? Why haven't you heard of it before?" After arranging for the group to rest, Sun Daoqian and the others sat together to discuss. Lao Zheng hadn't said it before, and he hadn't heard Ma Fengshan's introduction, and one sentence changed Zheng Yucheng's attitude, which is rare. ”

"I haven't heard of it, we can't get him to agree at the wine table, our strategy has to change. Su Xingguo's expression was serious, "In the entire country, they have a huge amount of funds in their hands. The superior commander had ordered them to go with them. ”

"Then they have to be willing. can get so much money, it is impossible to fool it in a few words. Sun Daoqian said, "Ouyang, what do you think?"

"If Yunba is used as a development platform, it is difficult for them to agree. Qin Fei's people hope to use the Yun-8 as a platform to develop an early warning aircraft, "We must be ready to use the Yun-10 as a platform." ”

In this way, the Yunshi team needs to help them tackle key problems, and they have to pay 404 funds.

"The structural strength of the Yun-8 aircraft is far better than that of the Yun-10, and the safety performance is higher. "Sun Daoqian doesn't think they don't have an advantage.

"It's impossible for them to spend their money on Yunba. Ouyang Shaoxiu understood very well.

The two are different types of aircraft that are not technically universal, and only some electronic systems can be used in general.

"They want us to develop on the platform based on Yunba? is this not a joke?" Zheng Yucheng listened to the report, his face was full of disbelief, "In this way, what does it have to do with our Yunten?"

Ma Fengshan smiled wryly, "The problem they raised is that there are facts, there are problems with the structure of the Yun-10, and whether the service life can reach the design time can be determined after the end of the test flight." In particular, the engine was not successful......"

"Did they propose to use the Y-8 as the carrier first, and then develop an early warning aircraft based on the Y-10, which has a longer range and faster speed?" Xie Kai asked.

Cheng nodded from time to time.

"The ceiling of Yun 8 is two kilometers less than that of Yun 10, the internal space is smaller, and the electronic equipment on board cannot be compared with Yun 10, why don't they say it?" Xie Kai sneered as he guessed when he heard it, "The cooperation between the two sides must be based on Yun Shi!"

Once they really threw the funds on the Yun-8 early warning aircraft, the entire project of Yun-10 will be scrapped.

"The production line here needs to be upgraded to assemble the Yunten. ”

"The production line of Factory 5703 will be dismantled anyway, and the equipment will be pulled here when the time comes. "There's no way Xie Kai can agree to Yun Ba consuming their funds in stealth.

Ma Fengshan and Cheng from time to time didn't know how they negotiated with Qin Fei's team during this time, giving people the feeling that they had given up on their own project.

"In the cooperation with Qin Fei, we are the dominant party, why do they ask for this?" Zheng Yucheng asked Ma Fengshan. "The prototype that is being assembled by the 5703 factory can be modified as an early warning aircraft experimental platform while conducting test flights, so as to save money!"

He had to listen to Xie Kai's reminder, and he didn't go to drink with Sun Daoqian as soon as he came, otherwise he would have agreed to their request in a daze, and he would have to be plotted.

"Didn't the Air Force participate in the project of changing the early warning aircraft to the 10th time? Xie Kai reminded Ma Fengshan, "This is a matter related to the future of Yun Shi." ”

Yun 10 is currently unable to obtain an airworthiness certificate, and civil aviation cannot be put into the market.

The demand for military transport aircraft is not high, and if the AWACS aircraft opportunity is given to Yun-8, where can there be a future?

"We invest funds for the sake of domestically produced large aircraft, not anything else! The Y-8 has the support of military funds, and the Y-10 is our own fund-raising, and we have the initiative in cooperation, and if we want to cooperate, we will cooperate, and if we do not cooperate, we will pull it down!" Zheng Yucheng is also very angry.

The big plane dismounted, and the future was already bleak, and finally there was a chance to find another way out, but Ma Fengshan and the others were persuaded by Qin Fei's people.

How not to be upset?

The funds were invested in Yun 8, what do you want to do with the Yun 10 team?

"An important part of the AWACS aircraft is the electronic system, the long-range early warning radar, which can find targets at ultra-long distances, search for and track targets, and instruct the fighter group to strike at the target...... The higher the ceiling, the larger the airspace to be detected, and the larger the space, the more electronic equipment can be installed, and the more powerful it is......," Xie Kai stressed, adding that the electronic equipment of the AWACS aircraft is the key.

The platform is the foundation.

The Air Police-200 equipped by the Air Force is an early warning aircraft based on the improved Y-8 model, which can only carry out tactical early warning.

The Air Police-2000 is based on the Il-76 as the carrier, and the improved design of the Yun-10 is equivalent to the performance of the Il-76, equipped with active phased array radar, dish antenna, airborne computer, etc., and the search distance is far farther than that of the Yun-8 modified Air Police-200.

Tactical and strategic-level AWACS aircraft are needed.

At present, there are no aircraft carriers, and there is no need to develop tactical AWACS aircraft in advance.

With the development of tactical AWACS aircraft, the range of use of the Y-10 will be narrower.

Would Xie Kai like to see it?

Definitely not.

"They are actually right, first develop a small tactical early warning aircraft, which is less technically difficult and consumes less money. Ma Fengshan said solemnly, "Although this has an impact on our large aircraft project. ”

"No matter how difficult the technology is, it must be based on Yun 10, and we only invest in large aircraft like Yun 10!" Zheng Yucheng had the same attitude as Xie Kai.

"It is easier to develop long-range AWACS aircraft, and then to develop tactical AWACS aircraft in reverse. Xie Kai knew that Ma Fengshan and others were hoping to save money for 404, "Once Yunshi loses the opportunity to continue manufacturing, it will be difficult to fly again." Two prototypes for test flights, it's simply not enough!"

If the road to the civilian market does not work, the military market will be the first to go.

Otherwise, when the Il-76 comes in, Yun Ten will be at a dead end!

"You don't need to think about the problem of funding! Even if we maintain the manufacturing speed of one plane every two years, as long as the technology is advanced and the performance is improved, we will not lose anything! The results of the project have been preserved, and the technical team has also been trained. Zheng Yucheng's words gave Ma Fengshan and Cheng Bu a shot in the arm from time to time.
