Twenty days is not too much, but less is not too much, just enough for Egypt to respond and send a visiting delegation.

Yang Hui joined the Egyptian delegation one step in advance, and had a warm conversation, this time Egypt led a team to the Republic to participate in the first flight of K8 by a lieutenant general of the Air Force: Kerim, who seems to be in charge of weapons and equipment logistics, as well as pilot training.

"General, what we are going to visit is an aircraft factory that has lasted for a very long time, and the new training aircraft we are going to see is developed by them, and the technology is very good."

The technology of Hongdu factory is really as Yang Hui said, the technology is very good, and the history is quite long. During the period of the Republic of China, the Hongdu Factory was an aircraft maintenance factory, and its history was not even weaker than that of Fengtiansuo, the eldest son of the Republic.

As we all know, the first self-developed fighter of the Republic is the Jianjiao 1 developed by Fengtian, but few people know that among the designers in charge of Jianjiaoyi, Lu Xiaopeng should actually be added.

During the period of the first annihilation of the sect, Lu Xiaopeng, Xu Shunshou and Huang Zhiqian were of the same generation, as for Gu Songfen and Cheng Buzhi, although they also participated in the development of the annihilation of the first generation, they were all the younger generation at that time, and compared with these older generation of big bulls, they were nothing.

However, what is surprising is that in the propaganda of later generations, such an aircraft of great significance as Jianjiaoyi, Lu Xiaopeng, one of the chief designers, was crossed out in the introduction, and the reason for this is indeed a bit strange.

However, even if Lu Xiaopeng, a super bull, is deliberately hidden in the history of Annihilation Sect One, the gold will never be buried.

After the first flight of the Annihilation Sect VII in 58. Only in the second year, Lu Xiaopeng, a big bull, finally had the opportunity to come to a place that truly belongs to him. Follow your dreams.

In 59, the Air Force of the Republic urgently needed an advanced attack aircraft, and Marshal Ye Jianying and Air Force General Liu Yalou proposed to build a strong attack aircraft in 1959. Ask Lu Xiaopeng if he can't do it.

Lu Xiaopeng, who was in high spirits at that time, replied very dryly: "As long as the motherland needs it, I can make it." ”

This is not an exaggeration at all, even if he has not participated in the research and development of Jianjiaoyi, Lu Xiaopeng, a designer full of spirituality, is completely sure, after all, before 59 years, Lu Xiaopeng has been in the field of aircraft manufacturing for nearly 20 years, which is a little-known history.

Lu Xiaopeng, a graduate of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering of the Central University, was destroyed because the Yunnan No. 1 Aircraft Factory was blown up. I had no choice but to leave the No. 1 Aircraft Factory of the Kuomintang Air Force in Kunming and come to the McDonald Aircraft Manufacturing Company in Missouri, which was one of the largest airlines in the world at that time.

Of course, along with his lifelong colleague Xu Shunshou, as a colored person, they were arranged to work in the design department of MacDonald's company for the first time because of their talents, and even the legendary designer MacDonald personally hosted a banquet to entertain them.

Lu Xiaopeng's design in the United States was not the mainstream aircraft at that time, but the most cutting-edge jet aircraft: the American F2B carrier-based jet fighter.

At that time, jet fighters were definitely at the cutting edge of technology. Its sophistication was no less sophisticated than the aerodynamic and missile projects studied by Qian Xueshen and other big bulls at that time.

It can be said that the knowledge mastered by designers such as Lu Xiaopeng and Xu Shunshou is absolutely the most cutting-edge and cutting-edge in the world. However, these cutting-edge techniques were not learned, but were researched by the old-timers of the Republic themselves, because these designers, mainly Lu Xiaopeng, did not work at MacDonald for even a year.

At the time of the overall design of F2B. The amazing talent they showed frightened the Americans, and the rough America chose to isolate these yellow people and ordered them to leave MacDonald. It is forbidden to participate in the subsequent detailed design.

So, this group of designers came to the United Kingdom again. In a small town in the south-central part of England: Gloucester, there is a factory that produces thousands of warplanes for the British. However, the factory did not have its own design capabilities. They rose only because of the outbreak of World War II, and the British government gave them design materials to produce directly.

Now a team of yellow-skinned aircraft designers came, and the originally arrogant Briton was finally convinced after seeing Lu Xiaopeng show off the research results of the entire team. As a result, the overall design of the aircraft made by the yellow-skinned designer was adopted by the United Kingdom for the first time and won the bidding.

Although these old stories are hard, we must admit that the experts who returned to the Republic such as Lu Xiaopeng and Xu Shunshou are indeed quite good, and the knowledge they have is all real material.

Back in 59 years to continue, Lu Xiaopeng, a cutting-edge scientist, came to Nanchang, which also has a long history, alone after receiving the task of developing a strong attack aircraft for the army. came to Hongdu Aircraft Factory, so he magically developed the Qiang-5, which was quite advanced in the world at that time.

With the addition of legendary designers such as Lu Xiaopeng, Hongdu Factory was like a fish in water, and once overtook Fengtiansuo, and in the field of military fighters in the sixties and seventies, it was the world of Hongdu and Fengtian.

It was not until the 80s that Hongdu's strong six project failed, which slowly declined, and the research and development field of new fighters was launched, which gradually declined, but adhering to the unique humanistic atmosphere of the Jiangnan region, Hongdu, which is full of aura, still found its own way out.

Relying only on the technology accumulated in the sixties and seventies, Hongdu can still effortlessly develop a junior and intermediate training aircraft, which is now the K8, which continues the manufacturing business of Hongdu's military aircraft, and is also the evergreen tree of foreign arms sales of the last republic.

Now Yang Hui took the Egyptian visiting team to the red birthplace of the Republic: Nanchang, Hongdu Aircraft Factory.

The people here are in a hurry, not only to produce and improve the Qiang-5 aircraft, but also to make a final communication with the test pilots of Hongdu's new generation of anti-Ding designer.

"Lao Xiao, you know that this aircraft is the hope of our Hongdu to turn over, they Southwest Science and Industry can accept the failure of this training aircraft project, because they have their own projects, investing in our training aircraft may only be temporary, but we Hongdu can't afford to fail, you must fly well."

Unusually, before the test flight, Shi Ping did not follow the usual practice and said some reassuring words to let the first pilot relax, but instead pressurized again, putting the test pilot in a nervous state.

It's not that Shi Ping doesn't play cards according to the rules, but he knows that this old partner test pilot has a strong psychological endurance, and he is already familiar with dealing with these, as long as the plane moves, he won't think much about anything, Shi Ping knows this very well.

Waving his hand and saying goodbye to the test pilot, he walked to the viewing area where Yang Hui and the Egyptian delegation were located.

"Secretary-General Yang, you really brought these big customers, tell me about the situation you just came into contact with Egypt, how did you get half of our investment back from one of their countries?"

Shi Ping is an anxious person, and when he hung up Yang Hui's phone, he should be in a hurry to report the good news and arrange the project, and now Shi Ping, who is anxious, wants to know most about the situation that Yang Hui and Egypt have come into contact with.

"Okay, I'll just say briefly, after we got in touch with Egypt, we learned that Egypt has always been planning to establish its own aviation industry, and this time they are preparing to inspect our aircraft, if there is no problem, they plan to directly introduce the technology of our aircraft and establish a production line in Egypt."
