Chapter 468: Gotta Dig Another Pit for the U.S. Imperialists!
Everything has to be seen in two. With its advantages comes its disadvantages.
Staying in the post of director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Yang Weiping can certainly take charge of the principles and policies for the development of China's national defense industrial system. However, being in an important position also made him unable to do what he wanted.
Just like when he had a deep talk with the No. 1 chief that night, Grandpa Gan directly pointed out that the reason why he wanted to protect him this time was because he saw that Yang Weiping's ability to control the leadership of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense was really a little unsatisfactory.
It's true that you want to grasp the technique, but you can't just focus on the technique and leave the administrative work behind!
If he can run the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense as a monolithic one, and if he can't insert a needle or splash water, who can get him? Who dares to touch him?!
Therefore, Yang Weiping did not look for too many objective reasons. The lack of experience in political struggle is both a fact and a weakness.
Yang Weiping could see that neither the No. 1 leader nor Ye Jianxiong wanted him to be completely silent. This time, it was not a test for him by the second elder.
If the second elder really didn't want him to have any contact with the outside world, Ye Jianxiong's previous phone call would strictly order him to go back immediately.
The two old foxes actually wanted to see Yang Weiping make a proper counterattack. At the very least, the conservatives must be informed that the dismissal of Yang Weiping, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, will have a certain impact on the development of China's national defense industry. If you don't take him as a treasure, the nations of the world will take him as a treasure that you can't ask for!
As long as the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, Germany and other countries begin to spare no effort to instigate Yang Weiping to settle in their countries, they can do so at the right time. Use this as an excuse to fire at conservatives.
Although the earth will not stop turning because of the absence of a certain person, a top scientist can sometimes play a mainstay role in scientific research. Otherwise, the Americans would not have claimed that one Qian Xuesen could top two divisions!
Now, the U.S. military is also known as the U.S. government, and Sir John Young alone can top five heavy divisions, and its importance can even be compared to an aircraft carrier fleet!
With Lin Yun present, the conversation between Yang Weiping and Bruce Willy, An Peiya, and Karenia naturally did not mention certain sensitive topics. Mainly reminiscence.
Lin Yun also couldn't take care of the busy work of the initial establishment of the Ministry of State Security. Even if he couldn't interject, he didn't have the slightest intention of saying goodbye and leaving.
Zeng Jidong behaved like a very good listener, but his mobile phone would vibrate from time to time, every time he left the table and walked to the side to answer the phone. The smug look and tone on his face. Everyone can see it. He was showing off to his friends.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. When the table was full of wine and food, Bruce Willie drank a small cup of white wine with Yang Weiping. Suddenly, he asked, "Sir, do you remember that we mentioned the establishment of a Sino-American United Engine Research Institute in Hong Kong?"
"Of course I remember!" Yang Weiping put down the wine cup in his hand and replied with a red face: "Tiangong Laboratory has always been very sincere in cooperating with scientific research scholars and institutions from all over the world, such as our Rurika Design Bureau in the Soviet Union and the Aviation Power Research Center in Huaxia, which have achieved very remarkable results.
It's just that you Americans are a little bit like that, as if our Tiangong Laboratory wants to take advantage of you and steal your skills, and the things you promised are not simple at all, and you always find all kinds of excuses to push back and block. It's not me Yang who is bragging and saying big things, if you had made up your mind earlier, I can guarantee that GM and Pratt & Whitney would have been able to launch more advanced engines a long time ago. When it comes to the research and application of aviation power in today's world, looking at the world, I Yang Weiping is the second, and no one dares to call it the first!"
"I personally agree with Jazz's point of view!" The expression on Bruce Willie's face looked serious, and no one knew whether his words were true or false, and Zhengse said: "I came to China this time, mainly to discuss cooperation with Jazz and restart the original cooperation project." We have invested in the construction of a world-class laboratory in the Hong Kong Tiangong High-tech Industrial Park, and have transferred a group of top technical experts from General Motors and Pratt & Whitney. If Jazz can agree to join, we can promise that any results achieved by this laboratory will be shared with Tiangong Laboratory!"
Yang Weiping didn't nod immediately, but pondered for a long time, staring at Bruce Willie with bright eyes, and asked seriously: "If I'm not mistaken, your research on the F110-GE series turbofan engine is now in a state of flux, right?"
Bruce Willie bowed his head and was silent, and after about thirty seconds, he looked up at Yang Weiping again, and said with a wry smile: "Sir Yang, I really can't hide anything from you." ”
Yang Weiping smiled on the ground and did not speak.
The F110 is an afterburner turbofan engine for fighter jets modified from the F101 used in bombers by General Electric of the United States.
The Carter administration's decision to stop the B-1A/F101-GE-100 program and the TF30 and F100 engines used in the first-line fighter planes in the United States had a large number of durability, reliability, and maneuverability problems, which were the main reasons for the general electric company to carry out this modification work.
In 1976, GM self-financed the construction of an F101X demonstrator, whose thermal parameters were similar to those of the F100 engine, with a reduced bypass ratio and an increased boost ratio compared to the original F101-GE-100.
As the military became increasingly concerned about the combat readiness of the fighter and its life-cycle costs, the U.S. Air Force implemented a plan for a modified fighter engine and signed a limited development contract with General Electric for $80 million, including three prototypes, numbered F101DFE.
No one in the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, or France would have imagined that the Communist Party of China, which was backward and impoverished in their eyes, would be able to develop a high-thrust military turbofan engine that was more advanced and durable than them.
The WS10 Taihang engine announced by Huaxia has obviously reached the world's first-class level in all performances, and is more than a little stronger than the F100-PW series engine developed by the United States at a huge cost-effective price.
The U.S. Navy proposed to import a batch of WS10 Taihang from China to replace the two TF30-P-412 afterburner turbofan engines currently in service for F14 fighters.
When the US government agreed to introduce the F100 and TF30 series military turbofan engines to Huaxia, it did not consider at all that Huaxia's industrial base could produce military turbofans that were better than the F100 and TF30 series. Even if Huaxia is allowed to imitate, with Huaxia's aviation materials and precision processing capabilities, it can only be similar in shape but not in appearance.
Who would have thought that the China Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense led by Yang Weiping not only succeeded in coming up with the world's first third-generation nickel-based single crystal, but also made a variety of world-class composite materials such as carbon-based and boron-based, and precision CNC machine tools are no longer high-end strategic equipment strictly sealed by the West.
What makes the US imperialists feel even more shameless is that the Chinese have even developed the world's first-class avionics system. If he had known that Yang Weiping, the father of the nano era, would be so rebellious, the CIA would not have let Sir John Yang return to the Chinese continent.
What annoyed the U.S. intelligence community the most was that Baron John Young's Tiangong laboratory secretly cooperated with the Soviets at some point, and the two sides also succeeded in developing an AL31F engine for the Soviet Union's newest heavy fighter, the T10.
In the face of the rapid growth of the Huaxia Air Force and the finalized and mass production of the Su-27 of the Soviet Air Force, the US military felt an unprecedented tremendous pressure. Therefore, the White House and the Department of Defense have clearly instructed that the more advanced F110-GE series of military turbofans must produce results as soon as possible.
However, the F110 engine of the United States could not be successfully finalized and put into mass production until the beginning of 1985. The F110, which is still in the laboratory, still has a number of technical problems to tackle.
If you want to successfully invite Sir John Young to the United States, if you don't come up with some high-end projects that will interest Sir Young, with Sir Young's vision, it will definitely be useless.
As a result, the U.S. military and intelligence agencies, after repeated studies of Baron John's past style and personality, concluded that the establishment of the Sino-American Joint Aviation Power Research Center in Hong Kong might be a good starting point.
Sure enough, Bruce Willie's eyes lit up green when he saw Sir Young mention the F110 engine.
I can't help but be tempted by Yang Da Science!
If there is really an opportunity to cooperate with the United States imperialism to develop the F110 series engine, this will undoubtedly be a major opportunity for Huaxia to develop the fourth generation of military turbofans in the future.
As far as Yang Weiping's understanding of the first-generation F110-GE engine is concerned, he can provide the Americans with the right research direction based on the knowledge he has mastered.
AT LEAST, HE CAN TELL US NOW, YOUR F110 ENGINE SHOULD CHANGE THE FAN FROM 2 STAGE TO 3 STAGE, INCREASE THE COMPRESSION RATIO TO 3.2, REDUCE THE MAXIMUM DIAMETER TO 970MM, AND REDUCE THE BYPASS RATIO FROM 2.01 TO 0.87. In order to accommodate the increase in the speed of the low-pressure rotor, the low-pressure turbine had to be redesigned. In order to meet the flight requirements of the fighter, the design overload had to be increased to 10 and the control system had to be improved.
In addition, in order to adapt to the F14, F16, and especially the airframe of the F15 fighter, the external dimensions, pipelines and anti-icing system of the F110 should be improved. Finally, and one that is easy for the United States to ignore, in order to reduce weight without sacrificing durability, weight reduction measures must be taken for almost all components and systems except the core machine.
Yang Weiping is sure that if he now comes up with this finalized plan, which took the US imperialists five years and spent more than $2 billion to sum up, the US imperialists will definitely regard it as a treasure.
However, such a cheap matter of American imperialism, how could Scientist Yang take it out easily!
How can we take advantage of this opportunity to pit US imperialism again?
Yang Weiping looked at Bruce Willie and turned his brain quickly. (To be continued......)
