"We are other members of the aviation industry who are not part of the L8 project in this exchange team, and we would like to arrange a visit to the Soviet aviation unit near Zhukovsky."

That's right, Yang Hui is very uninterested in how the two sides should negotiate how to cooperate in the test flight, since he has gone to the Soviet Union, he can't go home empty-handed, and he still has to go to the Soviet Union to have a look.

After listening to Yang Hui's request, the reception staff of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs also pondered, this kind of thing seems to be somewhat unexpected, and now asks to visit other aviation units

After some entanglement, he finally got the instructions of his superiors, and the receptionist gave Yang Hui an answer.

"If you want to visit other aviation units, we can arrange it, and we can still allow you to visit some projects that do not involve secrecy, but only limited to some aviation units near Zhukovsky, and other places are too far away and inconvenient."

In the opinion of the Soviet Foreign Ministry, there is now an opportunity to further ease tensions with the republic, and it is no problem for the personnel of the republic's ice-breaking trip to see something less important.

Diplomacy is no trivial matter, especially since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after receiving instructions from the Supreme General Secretary, is even more cautious, and the difference between the aviation industry and diplomacy is 108,000 miles, and as long as it is conducive to diplomatic work, even if it harms the interests of the aviation industry a little, it is not a big problem in the eyes of the Soviet Foreign Ministry.

Different departments have different needs. It is normal to harm others and benefit oneself. This is not just the existence of the republic, what Yang Hui wants to say is: this situation exists all over the world, don't label this general matter as the exclusive label of the republic.

"Good. We just went to the aviation unit near Zhukovsky to have a visit, hoping to have a pleasant exchange with our Soviet counterparts, and we were very curious about the current state of the Soviet aviation industry. ”

Yang Hui really felt that he was not dissatisfied with the Soviet Foreign Ministry's arrangement for him to visit the aviation units near Zhukovsky, and he really felt that he was not dissatisfied; regardless of the large territory of the Soviet Union, in fact, the essence of the Soviet aviation industry was near Zhukovsky and Moscow, and the distance between the two cities was only a few dozen kilometers.

This is a place where the top scientific institutions of the Soviet aviation industry are gathered, such as the Central Research Institute of Aerodynamics. Morozov Test Flight Institute, Central Aero Engine Research Institute, and so on. These places are responsible for technical pre-research, post-testing, and so on

To say that these places, although there are no specific technical achievements, but their importance is more important than the design, and the design is more of an engineering problem. But the research institute is the core and cutting-edge technology.

Let's take the simplest example. Su-27 and MiG-29 are awesome aircraft, right? But the aerodynamic design of both aircraft was made with the help of the Central Aerodynamics Research Institute.

In particular, in the design of the Su-27, the aerodynamic appearance has undergone a reversal experience after a manufacturing test aircraft. This is why there is the famous Su-27 in later generations, and the overturning and redesigning of the new aerodynamic shape is to do so well after the in-depth participation of the Central Aerodynamics Research Institute.

The Central Aero Engine Research Institute is even more awesome, his function is the pre-research of advanced technology, such as when the world's mainstream products are still annular combustion chambers, everyone is salting short annular combustion. The mainstream use is directional solidification turbine blades, and people are working on single crystal blades.

The most awesome thing is. : Half of the aircraft engine testing equipment in the USSR was under the banner of this unit, which is simply the flight of 6, anyway, in the USSR, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp that can be crowned with the word 'central'.

The Soviet Union is completely different from the republics in that the technologically awesome, advanced units and research institutes are proud of their proximity to Moscow. For example, as soon as World War II drove the German army out of the territory of the Soviet Union, the most beautiful MiG design bureau at that time quickly moved back to Moscow.

Other design bureaus such as Antonov and Sukhoi were all small miscellaneous fish in World War II and had to be exiled, one to Siberia and the other to Ukraine.

Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the annexation of the MiG by Sukhoi, the Sukhoi elite still happily moved to the vicinity of Moscow and lived in the former site of the MiG Design Bureau in an unknown place.

This is the peculiarity of the aviation industry of the USSR, which is close to Moscow and is very different from the aviation industry of the republic, which is scattered and drilled everywhere.

Now that Yang Hui is ready, he must go to the vicinity of Moscow to see what is good about these essences of the Soviet aviation industry.

"Well, we're going to visit Mikoyan tomorrow. The Grevich Design Bureau, which is the best fighter design bureau in our Soviet Union, designed almost all the Soviet fighters in service, and it is not easy to visit the MiG Design Bureau. ”

While speaking, this was a very proud look for the reception staff of the Soviet Foreign Ministry, which made Yang Hui feel very helpless, and now the Mikoyan Design Bureau, Yang Hui is really not interested.

The MiG-29 aircraft is indeed excellent, he perfectly meets the requirements of the Soviet Air Force, and the fighting ability and cost-effectiveness ratio are also very good, and the thrust ratio of the whole aircraft is higher. But in Yang Hui's view, this thing can only be useful under the combat ideology of the Soviet Air Force, and it has no meaning at all for the republic, and what can it be used for?

However, the enthusiastic Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union also carefully arranged the most awesome MiG Design Bureau at this time, which made Yang Hui a little crazy, but look at the appearance of the other people: Obviously, they are still yearning for the famous MiG Design Bureau.

In the end, Yang Hui could only compromise silently, MiG is MiG, it's okay to go and see, if you can be the boss for half a century, the MiG Design Bureau must still have something to see.

"Okay, let's go to the MiG Design Bureau to see, but can we change to the Central Aerodynamics Research Institute or the Central Development Aviation Motor Research Institute at our next stop."

Time is limited, Yang Hui is not willing to waste time on other units, and it is the best choice to go directly to the target unit.

"No problem, I will help you arrange it, the Central Aerodynamics Research Institute is next to our current Morozov Test Flight Institute, as for the Central Aero Engine Research Institute you mentioned, it is also in Moscow with the MiG Design Bureau, we can visit it together."

Hearing this, Yang Hui's heart quieted down, it was enough to go to these two research institutes with "Central" in their names to take a look.

From the city of Zhukovsky, where Morozov tested the flight, to the city of Moscow, there are dozens of kilometers, but this is not too far, only an hour or two by car.

When Yang Hui and the other four-person visiting team walked into the MiG Design Bureau, the scale of the design bureau was very impressive.

Being able to go from before World War II to the present, and has always been the representative of the Soviet fighter jet, the MiG Design Bureau does have a deep heritage, and from the scale of this huge test center, design center, and fast reaction manufacturing center, Yang Hui has already felt the gap.

It also covers a huge area, but the MiG Design Bureau is making use of every inch of land to establish a complete aircraft research and development facilities, and then think of the southwest science and industry there, Yang Hui feels that the southwest science and industry needs to build more basic scientific research facilities, and there is a long way to go.

And what Yang Hui values the most is the huge factory building that occupies one-third of the entire design bureau in the MiG Design Bureau, yes, the MiG Design Bureau actually has a factory, which looks extremely inconsistent with the identity of the design bureau, but in the aviation industry, it is the most cutting-edge requirement.

Yang Hui knew what was inside, in these huge factories, which contained most of the equipment for manufacturing the key components of an aircraft, with these things, the MiG Design Bureau could not face the dilemma of designing things and not having the help of the manufacturing plant.

This is the "rapid response center", which is specially equipped with manufacturing equipment for design units, usually they do not have the task of mass production of aircraft, the only task here is to turn the designer's ideas from drawings into real objects as quickly as possible, and then deliver them to the test center for testing.

Rapid response to the designer's design can effectively shorten the development cycle of an aircraft by only at least one year, and the benefits in this are indeed quite large, and the help to the design bureau is not small.

However, Southwest Science and Industry does not have this department, and even the whole republic has not, and the prototype and sample production of the republic are all to find relevant mass production factories to help manufacture.

Seeing the rapid response center of the MiG Design Bureau, Yang Hui silently made up his mind that the preparatory work for the rapid response center of the Southwest Science and Industry must be put on the agenda. (To be continued......)
