With the loud noise peculiar to propeller aircraft, the only existing early warning patrol aircraft in the entire republic flew into the small ravine where the Southwest Science and Industry was located, and Yang Hui was already waiting at the end of the runway.

The landing of Yunqi was very elegant, the wheels landed steadily after touching the ground once, and a wisp of green smoke generated by the friction between the wheels and the runway gradually dissipated with the breeze on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

The long taxiway doesn't make much sense in front of an aircraft like the Y-7, as a practical propeller aircraft, it is a natural king of short-distance, harsh runway takeoffs and landings. But this is the only baby in the country must not be lazy, not only the entire runway was cleared out in advance, but even the open hangar in the outfield here was also used for this golden plane.

Before the propeller completely stopped rotating, the door of the plane was opened from the inside, and Mr. Wang, who returned to the company with the plane, was the first to jump off the plane, and after looking around, he quickly discovered Yang Hui's existence in the crowd and walked over quickly.

The duffel bag he carried with him still looked quite heavy, but Mr. Wang kept carrying it, and he didn't mean to put it down. Clear-eyed people know that there should be some more important information in it, and Yang Hui didn't mean to find out, so he beckoned people to walk over to the side of the room, the current Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is already sunny, and the outdoor is not a good place to talk.

"Let's go, there are special ground staff on the plane side to take care of, let me tell you about our specific situation now, after all, this project has become what it is now, and we can no longer do this project according to the previous plan, and the army will definitely have new ideas and actions."

Chief Master Wang and Yang Hui walked side by side with their bags on their backs, and his heart was also drumming, after all, this project is so special now. Without the support of the U.S., he himself knew that it would no longer be possible to quickly finalize and deliver the manufacturing unit.

The two of them were quite silent along the way, Yang Hui hadn't figured out how to open his mouth to Chief Master Wang, and Chief Master Wang also didn't know how to explain to Yang Hui, after all, when he went to the United States, he swore that he would be able to complete the project. But now

"Sit down, this is my office, you can say anything you want, we need to sum it up now, and then see how to deal with this project, whether to continue to grit our teeth to complete the development in the context of localization, or to abandon the project instead, we all need to know the specific situation now."

Yang Hui has always spoken straightforwardly, especially when communicating between scientific research and technical personnel. There will be no hint of roundabouts, this style is likeable, but it seems too straightforward at certain times, and some people who are easily emotional are even

However, Chief Engineer Wang was able to be selected as the chief engineer and concurrently the director of the 38th Institute, which naturally has an outstanding psychological quality. At this time, although I heard that the project may be discontinued, it is not too anxious, didn't it say earlier that it is necessary to decide whether the project will be decided according to the specific situation, and no one knows what the result will be in the end.

After putting down the backpack that you are carrying. Only then did I relax a little, and carefully recalled the whole project. It took a long time before I woke up.

"The whole project is only half of the way now, a total of 65 of our 38 people brought by me have participated in and completed the structural design of the whole project, I clearly know the progress of this project, even if there is no impact of this imperial capital incident, the test flight work will probably continue for about a year and a half to two years, that is to say, it will not be delivered until 91 years at the earliest. But now that this is happening here, it will be possible to develop it entirely by our own technical strength, and it will take at least another three to five years to make it possible. ”

Yang Hui does not beat around the bush when he speaks, and Chief Master Wang will also not grind and chirp, and will disclose the project progress to Yang Hui very bluntly. And gave his own estimated time, which is the bearing of a chief engineer who does a project.

"I can probably guess some of this, and the full localization of this early warning patrol aircraft you said will take at least three to five years, and I also know that there will not be much difference, which means that the aircraft will not be finalized until 93 at the earliest, and the slower ones will even need to wait until 94 or 95 years. With such efficiency, I'm afraid the army can't accept it! ”

After listening to Yang Hui's words, Chief Master Wang also sighed with a sad face, how the early warning patrol aircraft project was completed this time, and how the army viewed this project at that time, Chief Master Wang also knew very clearly, and of course he could understand Yang Hui's worries at this time.

"We all know this problem, two years ago the army decided to support this early warning patrol aircraft, that is because the most important radar system of the whole project is based on the second-hand AWG-9 radar, the cost of money will not be too much, and the cooperation with the American company Grumman is also to be able to speed up the project. But now, if we develop this early warning patrol aircraft ourselves, the whole project will cost a lot of money because we want to complete the localization of the subsystem, and the time will not be short, which is completely contrary to the idea of the army at that time. ”

A smart person is smart, and everyone can understand this without saying much, which makes Yang Hui very satisfied, as for whether this is correct or not, Yang Hui can still distinguish clearly.

Since he can't smoke, he can't take out a cigarette and light it at this time, and then numb himself, the only thing Yang Hui can do now is to rub his temples, and only sit up again after a little relaxation, at this time Yang Hui has already made a preliminary decision in his heart.

"Therefore, it is difficult for our project to give the army a reason to continue to support it, and this is still an early warning aircraft that has left home halfway, and I guess the army will not continue to consume this project after this incident, so our company is also ready to abandon this project."

Although he knew that it was difficult for this project to continue, and reason also told Mr. Wang that there was no point in continuing the project, he still couldn't help hiding his face at this time, which was the closest to success of the early warning aircraft project in recent years, but he didn't expect that it would fall short in the end.

"I know, I understand that this project does not have the meaning of continuing in this situation, but I am still unwilling, after this project is launched, I don't know that I will have this opportunity until the Year of the Monkey, and my old man is also unwilling!"

Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh again: "Hey, I have also developed two types of radars in my life, and it is worth the trip, but this early warning aircraft has not been made, I am really unwilling!" ”

Not only is it Chief Master Wang who is unwilling, but Yang Hui, who is sitting opposite, is also unwilling, but now the situation is stronger than people, even if he is unwilling, he can only put the project down for the time being. (To be continued.) )
