The air in Cheng Yuanhang's residence seems to be condensed, depressing and suffocating, involving high-level things, always making people unconsciously give birth to a sense of powerlessness, it cannot be said that the high-level decision-making is wrong, from the perspective of the overall situation, the suspension or even suspension of the operation of the ten projects does have a certain rationality,

After all, Yun 10 is not mature, many large aircraft necessary manufacturing equipment and production technology are not available in China, the corresponding organizational structure and supporting system is not perfect, perhaps mixed with some political ~~ factors, but the whole project is difficult to achieve an ideal degree of application, but it is also an important factor that cannot be ignored.

However, such an attitude, for the Yun Shi research and development team headed by Cheng Yuanhang, is tantamount to cruel, you must know that Yun Shi in their minds has far exceeded an ordinary research and development project, more than ten years as a day, they have long regarded this big guy who can fly into the blue sky as their friends, colleagues, and even family members, that kind of feelings can not be described in words, therefore, in the face of the insurmountable peak, the kind of depression, regret and helplessness will be stronger

Lu Jiadong is the same, in fact, he knows the thoughts of the top management better than anyone present, since the change of the old chief's attitude and the transfer of the Yun-10 team to the Wanshan Aviation Research Institute, the commander of the Navy Jiang Huichuan has given him a preventive shot, that is, there are still differences between the high-level on the Yun-10, and during this period, any unexpected situation may occur;

Because of this, after the Yunshi team was transferred to the Aeronautical Research Institute, Lu Jiadong did not rashly restart this sensitive project, but used a hidden way to shelve the entire project, the reason for which was to cool down the whole thing and avoid touching the sensitive nerves of others and causing unnecessary trouble due to rash actions;

Second, it can buy time for the restart of the project, although Lu Jiadong does not have as deep feelings as the Yun-10 team for this aircraft that is not in outstanding technical condition, but still believes that the Yun-10 project should and must be retained, and the reason is that Lu Jiadong has been following the key principles:

That is the improvement of the overall industrial strength, the technical state of the Yun Ten is not very good, the full calculation is equivalent to the technical level of the United States in the fifties, compared with the latest Boeing 747 more than ten years behind, such as its huge gap, it stands to reason that no more money should be thrown at this useless bottomless pit;

Under normal circumstances, it should be like this, but high-end industrial products with extremely high technical requirements such as large aircraft can never be reasoned according to general business logic.

However, its significance does not lie in how unique its industrial design is, how comfortable its products are, but the initial industrial foundation, R&D team, skilled workers, and the potential for unlimited upgrades in the future.

At present, the turbofan engine of the aircraft has always been China's short board, and even the new missile attack aircraft of the navy, which is being intensified, can only use the British "Spey" engine, which is not outstanding in performance, does this mean that in another 10 or 20 years, there will not be an aero engine with stronger thrust and more advanced performance?

The key is still to look at the guidance of the project: a small portable rocket launcher will allow composite materials to take root in the land of China; a 52-caliber 155-millimeter artillery gun will turn special smelting technology from an unattainable fantasy into an ordinary item that has entered thousands of households; a new tank will make China's automobiles more powerful and better controlled; and an artillery reconnaissance and calibration radar will raise the level of informatization of the electrical system by several steps

Because of the needs of the project, so the need for continuous innovation consciousness and endless creativity, only in this way can meet the technical indicators of the project, in this process, the whole supporting development, in the upgrading, in strides forward, so as to complete a gorgeous industrial upgrading, when the overall basic industry reaches a new height, it will complement the initial project, and then in an improved way, to complete the performance of the specific project

For example, the lightweight transformation of Type 78 firearms is thanks to the development of composite materials, like the information upgrade of tanks, and the improvement measures carried out after the breakthrough of data link and information technology, there are many such examples, but no matter what kind of example, the key depends on whether the project can be continued, how to continue;

The same is true for the Yunshi project, no matter how bad its technical status is, how unoptimistic the product quality is, as long as the project is there, as long as there is the potential for upgrading, then it will be like a powerful magnet to absorb all the surrounding supporting industries.

With its production and production, with his upgrading and upgrading, when one day the transport 10 completely reaches the technical state, it means that China not only has its own large aircraft, but also has more than 50,000 tons of hydraulic presses, 10,000-ton hydraulic presses, advanced turbofan engines, and these heavy equipment will represent a new era, a new future

Because of this, Lu Jiadong tried his best to keep the team and design data of the large aircraft, even if the core of the team has been exhausted, even if some of the information is incomplete, but as long as the people are there, the things are there, it is possible to be reborn, but once the whole project dies, the supporting industries attached to it will also decline

Therefore, Lu Jiadong will ignore the differences of the high-level and advocate to keep the Yunshi project, but Lu Jiadong can ignore the analysis and protect the project, but he can't completely ignore it, after all, without the approval of the high-level, the entire project still can't be restarted, therefore, in the more than half a year that Yunshi was refrigerated,

Lu Jiadong went north to the capital many times, either intentionally or unintentionally, to several familiar leaders in charge of explaining the necessity of special support aircraft, coupled with some small actions of Vietnam in the South ~~ Sea recently, which just fit the minds of several military leaders and high-level leaders, just one day ago, Lu Jiadong just received a telegram from Navy Commander Jiang Huichuan, agreeing in principle with Lu Jiadong's views on the development of special support aircraft

"Look at this!"

The depressed atmosphere did not make the gentle but firm smile subtract half a point from Lu Jiadong's face, but became more intense, and at this moment, he took out a telegram from the Navy Headquarters from his briefcase and handed it to Cheng Yuanhang:

"I just received it yesterday evening, and I was thinking that I would tell you about the new missile attack aircraft after arranging it, but I didn't expect you to be more anxious than me."

Cheng Yuanhang, who received the telegram, was very surprised, and after reading the content of the telegram, the original surprise completely turned into worry, and now the problem is how to let the high-level restart the Yunshi project, but Lu Jiadong is good, and directly gave him a development plan for the Navy special support aircraft, so the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, it is all a matter of where, so before he finished reading it, Cheng Yuanhang slapped the telegram "pop~" on the desk in front of him, and shook his head in extreme disappointment:

"The crux of our problem now is to restart the Y-10 project, where are we still thinking about what air tankers, maritime patrol planes, electronic reconnaissance planes, and maritime anti-submarine planes are too far away from us, besides"

"Besides, you're jumping to conclusions, so think again"

Without waiting for Cheng Yuanhang to finish speaking, Lu Jiadong took the conversation, the long context, with an intriguing smile, seemed so meaningful, Cheng Yuanhang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and then his eyes lit up, the hand that was fiddling with the cigarette suddenly stagnated and then clenched into a fist, staring at Lu Jiadong and said with some excitement:

"Mr. Lu, you mean"

"Haha, you are right, Chief Cheng, these special support aircraft need a platform, small planes are naturally not good, can only be taken by large aircraft, said large aircraft, several times our Wanshan Aviation Research Institute, in addition to the treasure in your hand, is there anything more suitable?"

"No, no, no, no!"

Cheng Yuanhang was so excited that he was a little incoherent, he was not a fool who didn't understand the world, but some authorities were confused, and when Lu Jiadong made it clear, he didn't know that the so-called special support aircraft would inevitably be modified with Yun-10, and this would be tantamount to rebirth of Yun-10 in disguise!

"The new project code name is 'Gaoxin'" Lu Jiadong continued: "The project personally named by Commander Jiang of the Navy is Gaoxin-1, the air tanker is Gaoxin-1, the electronic warfare aircraft is Gaoxin-2, and the maritime patrol plane is Gaoxin-3.

"Enough, enough, as long as there is one model, it is enough!

Cheng Yuanhang burst into tears with excitement, the cigarette he was holding tightly had long since turned into wisps of tobacco, taking away a cloud of sorrow, but leaving endless hope (to be continued). )
