Chapter Sixty-Eight: Change
In front of the design building of the 123 factory, Tu Zhenying, who was full of ambition, came here again, and remembered that the last time she came, she asked her father, the chief engineer of the factory, about the reason for the suspension of the lens production line, this time it was for the lens production line, but compared with the last time she came, the purpose was completely different.
Stepping into the inconspicuous design building, this is one of the two factories with the strongest scientific and design capabilities among the many OEMs responsible for the production of aircraft models in the entire aviation system of the Republic. In addition to the design department of the Hongdu Plant, which was designed and finalized by Chief Engineer Lu, the design department of the 123 Factory under the leadership of Chief Tu is now the strongest in engineering design.
It can even be said that a sentence that shocked military fans decades later: in the early eighties, the Shudu Aircraft Design Institute, which is also located in the same area of Shudu, was really inferior to the design department of Factory 123 in terms of model engineering design capabilities.
Counting from the introduction of the Jian-7 fighter jet, the 123 factory is definitely the most technically clear, the most understanding of the type of fighter unit in China, from 65 years to take over the production of this series of fighters, after the improvement of the model, almost all by the factory design department to complete, in such nearly 20 years of training and tempering, its engineering design ability can not be underestimated.
From J-7 to J-7 1, then from J-7 1 to J-7 2, and then to the J-7M fighter under development, these are all the design and tasks of the factory to complete all the design, flight test, finalized production and so on.
In contrast, the Shudu Institute of the same era, even being dizzy by the Air Force's J-9 project indicators, is repeating the blowing and revising the original aerodynamic design work, so how to talk about the specific model engineering design, the institute has advantages in aerodynamics and new technology exploration.
Later, in the middle of the eighth year and the tenth generation, Shudu got the No. 10 project, and when various initial designs were made, the 123 factory also began the design of the new model of Super Seven, which was almost magical, at the same time.
Later, between the No. 10 project and the 123 factory super seven, which everyone knows, only one could survive in the end, and the result was that the No. 10 persisted to the end, thinking that if the super seven project could be successfully completed, when the Air Force asked to dismount the No. 10 in the early nineties because of the purchase of 27 series fighters, maybe the No. 10 was really gone.
In this way, the follow-up Super Seven will continue to develop and improve, and eventually even become the technical level of the Thunder, relying on the orders of the Republic and Pakistan to share various risks, it may really develop into a third-generation light fighter that competes with the F-16.
Therefore, in a sense, in terms of the number of military orders of the Republic and the comprehensive level of the traditional arms sales sphere of influence, it is true that only one medium and light fighter can be cultivated.
The grievances and grievances between Shudu and the 123 factory cannot be explained for a while, and there is both cooperation and competition between the two, which has begun to emerge in the early eighties.
To give the simplest example, in the early eighties, Shudu had a particularly long hand, and he won the J-7 3 project that was supposed to be done by the 123 factory, which is simply an incredible result, you must know that before the eighties, Shudu had never been in contact with the J-7 series of fighters at all, and it was incredible that such a technical accumulation could win the project.
In the end, what is even more bizarre is that after the J-7 3 project was determined to be led by Shudu, which had never been in contact with the J-7 series before, it was decided to let 123, 0112, and 011 units assist in the design.
It is very funny to think about it, you need to know that 123 and 011 of the above three units are the only units in China to produce and improve J-7 fighters at this time, and even the 0112 factory has been responsible for assembling the Soviet Union's delivery of MiG-21 fighter parts, and people have some experience.
Let three units with rich experience in the J-7 series of fighters assist units that have never been in contact with the J-7 series before to improve the design of the J-7, what else can be said about this, only one thing can be proved: the aircraft design and research institute are indeed all mother-to-mother.
Then with the first chief engineer of J-73 Comrade Wang Nanshou was sick and transferred, the whole project gradually fell apart, the 0112 factory was the first to withdraw from the project, and then the 011 base was also withdrawn, and then the 123 factory followed by the project design team, and even the chief engineer Song who took over the design of J-73 in Shudu, it was not long before it was put into the bidding for the new J-73, and the J-73 project existed in name only.
The designers of the 123 factory who withdrew from the J-73 project continued to pull up the team to start work, introduced British technology, and began to design the J-7M fighter, which is now the work that Chief Tu is busy with, which is why the translucent factory introduced British translucent technology.
......
Factory 123's engineering capabilities were unquestionable at this time, but it had nothing to do with Tu Zhenying, who was now only concerned with convincing the factory's top management to agree to sell the production line so that lens production could continue.
Just as Wang Zhengguo can enter and exit Shudu at will, Tu Zhenyin can also enter and exit the design department of Factory 123 at will, not to mention that he is the daughter of Chief Tu, just to say that she is now the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Touguang Factory, she can be regarded as a person from Factory 123, and she will not be stopped.
Skillfully found Chief Tu's office, at this time, the J-7M fighter had been sent for production, and the prototypes were about to advance to the test flight stage.
"What's going on with you, what's the matter? If it's a private matter, I'll talk about it when I get back from work, it's inconvenient to go to work now. ”
Master Tu is a tall and thin figure, just looking at it can give people a sense of oppression, and for his children, he has always played the role of a strict father, which is completely opposite to Master Wen's positioning at home, two different family styles.
As a daughter, she is naturally used to this kind of character, but she doesn't pay attention to these: "Definitely at work, if it wasn't for work problems, I wouldn't have come to your office at this time, in such a hot weather, I'm too lazy to run around." ”
Hearing that this time it was a matter of work, the atmosphere eased up, but when I thought that my daughter was usually in charge of the affairs of the Youth League Committee of the Translumination Factory, and the work and the design of her own aircraft were not matched, what would be there to say, unless it was a problem last time.
Thinking about it, it seems that there is only this possibility: "Let's say, if it is your factory to dismantle the production line, then I still say the same thing: demolition is necessary, you don't have to think about anything else, now the whole factory is looking at the new project under the pot, it is impossible to change because of the transformation of your factory military to civilian." ”
Reiterating his position again, this is the third time he has said this, if it weren't for the fact that it was his daughter in front of him, I'm afraid he would have been impatient a long time ago, where would he have the leisure to explain so much.
However, the expected answer is always unexpected: "No, I am not here to fight for the production line to continue production this time, but I am now going to support the dismantling of the production line to make room for your military production." The premise of this is that you have to support my work and sell this dismantled production line to the unit that placed an order with our factory before, so that I can continue to work in lens production. ”
Some of them haven't been able to react, why did they suddenly say that they were going to sell the production line today, is this change too fast?
