079 The helicopter industry of the Republic of China
"You old fellow, you can't even be suspicious?" Qiu Yue was speechless.
It seems that he and Wang Shunyi are still very familiar with each other. Liu Yijiu thought silently on the side.
"Let's go to the test site for dinner. It is estimated that Old Tang is scolding his mother at this time! Seeing that Wang Shunyi and Zheng Hao didn't say anything, Qiu Yue touched his ears that had become red and said with a wry smile.
I don't know if it's because Wang Shunyi embarrassed him, or if someone is really talking about him.
"Chief, the helicopter is ready!" The four cadres next to him, who didn't know what level, said to Qiu Yue.
"Okay, let's go to the airport first...... "There is a small helicopter airfield inside the military region, and when Qiu Yue arrived at the airport with a few people, the propeller of the Z-5, the first multi-purpose helicopter made by the Republic, was already spinning.
"Commander Qiu, I think if you want to make the special forces stronger, you should equip them with helicopters......" Liu Yijiu pouted when he saw this thing.
As soon as I thought of how to improve the combat effectiveness of the special forces, I suddenly couldn't care about this thing falling behind. If there are armed helicopters, they can carry out fire support when the special forces carry out some strategic tasks that do not go deep behind enemy lines, and even if they can't support, they can also put the special forces closer to the battlefield faster, so that the troops can save more physical strength, thereby increasing the success rate of the mission.
When Liu Yijiu explained this idea, Qiu Yue fell into deep thought.
The country is starting to get everything on track, and now it's starting to look at the world.
Foreign military technology is developing very rapidly, and the combat methods of the troops are constantly changing, and everything in China is still in the stage of initial exploration. If it weren't for the fact that it was to adapt to the new era of warfare, they would not have spent a million on this experiment.
How much would it cost to equip the unit with transport helicopters and helicopter gunships?
"Actually, it's not about equipping them, my personal opinion is that these special operations force soldiers must not only be proficient in all kinds of weapons, but also familiar with all kinds of equipment. After all, their main task is to go deep behind enemy lines, and sometimes, infiltrating enemy camps, as long as they know how to drive tanks, helicopters and even fighter planes, they can completely snatch the enemy's weapons and equipment and retreat......" Liu Yijiu's words made Qiu Yue stunned.
It turns out that this guy hit this idea!
To train special soldiers as pilots?
"Comrade Xiao Liu, do you know how long a pilot needs to be trained?" Qiu Yue said with a wry smile.
If this is the case, it is impossible for a soldier to meet such conditions without training in the army for ten or eight years.
"Commander Qiu, we don't need these special forces to be very skilled in piloting, as long as we can drive the helicopter. In addition, after the first stage of physical training, the special forces have to start various tactical training in the second stage, and landing is also one of their training subjects......"
The Z-5, an old-fashioned helicopter for Liu Yijiu, is too noisy, and the flight is not very stable.
This thing, the carrying capacity is not bad.
The Z-5 was the first multi-purpose helicopter manufactured in the Republic and the beginning of the development of helicopters in the Republic. It is an imitation of the Mi-4 helicopter of the Soviet Empire. In February 1958, the Kazakh aircraft industry began to copy the Mi-4 according to a full set of drawings and materials provided by the Soviet Union.
The first test flight was made in December 1958, and it was officially accepted by the State Appraisal Committee in early 1959 and put into batch production. The Z-5 can fly in complex conditions day and night, and can transport 11 fully armed soldiers when used for airborne landing, and 15 in overload conditions.
This thing has just enough transport capacity to barely transport a combat group......
"Let's wait until they've completed the first phase of training." Qiu Yue didn't directly refuse, he also wanted to see how much combat effectiveness the special forces in Liu Yijiu's mouth would have in the end. If it really can shock them all, it is not impossible to equip them with helicopters. At the very least, it is also possible to allow special forces to conduct regular training in this area.
Liu Yijiu didn't say anything more, just thought silently there.
It seems that the Z-7, which has been in China for several years, is about to be completed, and at the same time, it is also about to be eliminated......
"Lao Qiu, what's the situation with the big helicopter that Hafei is doing now? I think it's about the same! "There is a distance of more than 100 kilometers from the headquarters of the military region to the artillery field, and on this helicopter, several people are so noisy by the roar of the propellers outside that they can't sleep.
In addition, the weather is hot, so I can only chat to pass the time.
"Trial production is already underway over there. There ......is no news at all about when it will be finalized and when it will be put into use," Qiu Yue sighed.
Hearing the words of these two people, Liu Yijiu suddenly came to his senses.
"Ha Fei is making a straight 7?"
"You know about this project?" Several people stared at Liu Yijiu in surprise.
This project is relatively secretive, right?
"Why don't you know! A few years ago, when I was at the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, our teacher also talked about the straight seven. He said that this thing was purely wasteful, the design was conservative, the structure was strong, and the superior department required that the parts from the 5 and the straight 6 should be used as much as possible...... "Liu Yijiu immediately told him some things about the straight 7.
The Republic began to develop from six or seven years, and in 79 years in order to free up research and development funds for the Z-8, it finally got off the horse and did it for more than ten years......
Helicopters, in the republic, are even more pitted than fighters.
With the exception of the Wuzhi-10, basically all helicopters and gunships in the Republic are purchased from abroad or even simply from abroad!
Even the Z-8 is a multi-purpose helicopter made by copying the French Hornet......
"So, you're well aware of this?" Qiu Yue suddenly came to his senses.
Advanced equipment has a fatal attraction for them. Qiu Yue was different from other old chiefs, at least, he had not been blown up by artillery, otherwise, he was most interested in cannons, not other weapons and equipment.
"Just a little bit of understanding. Anyway, I estimate that the final fate of the Z-7 is similar to the Z-6, and the Z-6 should have been finalized this year, right? It seems that the superior chief has no intention of mass production......" Liu Yijiuyi said this, and remembered that he had been in the base now and had never been in contact with the outside world at all.
Sure enough, as soon as his words stopped, he saw Wang Shunyi's eyes that wanted to see him through.
Liu Yijiu knew that he had missed his mouth, but he didn't know how to make up for it.
"Xiao Liu, your teacher even knows this?"
didn't expect that Liu Yijiu was reluctant to push on his teacher who didn't know who it was, but Qiu Yue gave him steps: "Yes, at the beginning, he was not optimistic about the two that were being developed. Needless to say, the shortcomings of the straight 7 are very clear to Hafei themselves. As for the Z-6, something happened during the test flight in 69, and all six people on board were sacrificed because the reducer in the engine was stuck in the shaft...... And now, the engine of the straight six has not changed much......"
The engine does not work, the fate of the straight six, this is conceivable.
The main problem of the republic is that the power is too poor, whether it is flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, all the problems are due to the heart!
Liu Yijiu knows this problem very clearly.
It was not until the fifties of the 21st century that these problems were effectively resolved.
From the founding of the republic to the fifties of the twenty-first century, the republic spent a century on this, especially from the beginning of the twenties of the twenty-first century, to invest heavily in the development of various industrial hearts, otherwise, it would not have caught up with the US imperialism in the end.
It can be said that all this is smashed with money.
"Alas, this thing ......," Wang Shunyi sighed.
The Ninth Academy base has most of the advanced technology in China in the 60s, and the projects in the 70s have not been much in it yet, because many projects are still in the research stage.
The domestic aviation industry and domestic cutting-edge machinery manufacturing are all not, they all know it.
Not to mention anything else, even the major firearms research institutes have done several key problems, but they haven't even come up with a sniper rifle.
And Liu Yijiu, doing these designs so quickly, made Wang Shunyi constantly think about why this guy can be like this, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out.
That's why he resisted the opposition of Zheng Hao and other old comrades and put Liu Yijiu into their project.
Liu Yijiu's strength in these aspects seems to be just the tip of the iceberg.
Now I have such a thorough understanding of the progress of domestic helicopter research, which is ......
Liu Yijiu naturally didn't know what Wang Shunyi sighed about, nor did he know what he thought, if he knew, he wouldn't say anything straight six and straight seven.
Zhiliu's thing has been engaged in for more than ten years, although it has been finalized, and finally fifteen aircraft have been produced, and it has not been officially put into production; Not to mention Zhiqi, only two prototypes were produced, and before they could fly, they were directly dismounted.
"It's almost there." The weak production of the domestic military industry finally shut up the group, and when it comes to these, it is a pain in the hearts of all of them.
Whether it is Wang Shunyi, who is engaged in research, or Qiu Yue, who needs to use these equipment, they can only stare dryly at such a situation.
This is the weakness of the republic.
Fortunately, the plane had already flown to the artillery test site, otherwise, no one really knew how to break the awkward atmosphere.
