For this hypocrisy of the Brazilian government, Yang Hui will not be able to come up with any way for a while, and it seems that he can only wait slowly for a period of time, waiting to see if the efficiency of the people's cooking can be accelerated.

However, before that, Yang Hui has another thing to discuss with Embraer, after all, in many cases, it is not necessary for the state to set up a project before scientific research projects can be launched, whether in the Republic or abroad, there are cases where the company raises money to carry out scientific research projects, and there are always many successful cases.

For this reason, Yang Hui wants to sacrifice this super treasure at this time, and Embraer is the target of Bai Yanghui, after nodding and pondering for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up and he raised his head.

"This is a situation that we can't change now, but what we can have now is to listen to the thoughts of your navy, if your navy can give a credible commitment and is willing to support our project, then we should raise money to carry out the preliminary research of the project even without the support of the state."

This is the only measure that can be done now, and when this idea is said, it is also necessary for the current president of Embraer to feel that the most important thing is that this kind of pre-research project does not require too much investment, and this pre-research must not be funded by Embraer alone, this is not Southwest Science and Industry, which is a big man in technology!

Thinking about this, there is no need to worry too much about the rest, as Yang Hui said, as long as the Brazilian Navy has this idea, then everyone should do everything that should be done, which will definitely have a great advantage when making a decision later.

This makes a lot of sense, and the pre-research of technology must start at this time. The Navy is very interested in our proposal, they have long had the idea of modernizing the only aircraft carrier in the country, and the last time I said that on the first flight, it was because the Navy had come to us before this to discuss the feasibility of lightning on the ship, and for this reason, we were also asked to conduct a feasibility study by Embraer. ”

As a light low-cost multi-role fighter, the Lightning's excellent aerodynamic layout and low-altitude performance make it possible to embark on a light catapult aircraft carrier. In addition, this aircraft can be independently produced in Brazil, and the Brazilian Navy and Navy have also ordered a large number of shore-based types before this, and the advantages they bring such as lower procurement costs and unified logistics maintenance are fatal temptations for the Brazilian Navy. Confuse. Further back, there is currently no suitable light multi-role carrier-based fighter in the international market.

After these circumstances add up, there is a seemingly accidental and inevitable choice of the Brazilian Navy, and now there is a hit between Southwest Science and Industry and Embraer.

"That's right, now your country's navy is interested in upgrading the naval carrier-based aircraft in its hands, and the lightning we provide is the best choice. And it should be the only choice, Southwest Science and Industry is willing to help the Brazilian Navy to the best of its ability, so we can bear half of the pre-research costs. ”

The two sides each bear half of the pre-research funds, which is already the best result, and after the general situation has the results, the president of Embraer here also raised a question, which Yang Hui was not easy to answer for a while.

"Now the situation has been understood, but there is still one problem that needs to be solved: since neither of us has experience in developing carrier-based aircraft, do we still need to introduce some more mature carrier-based aircraft technology, or seek another unit with experience in the development of carrier-based aircraft? For example, units in the United States or France. ”

These are just the weakness of the Southwest Science and Industry, after all, there is no experience in the development of carrier-based aircraft, which is a hard injury, even the Southwest Science and Industry is using this opportunity to break through the development of carrier-based aircraft, and now no one has this technology.

The so-called introduction of mature carrier-based aircraft technology from Western countries, this is impossible in the first place, unless the United States and France are kicked in the head by a donkey, think about who else will sell this technology, after all, this project is a republic background, at this time it is better not to touch this mold. If the technology is not introduced, but arouses the suspicion of the US imperialists, it will be bad. To be on the safe side, it is better not to bring these countries into the mix.

However, for the situation that Southwest Science and Industry has no experience, Yang Hui still has to give a reliable statement. to dispel the doubts of the Embraer industry.

Fortunately, Yang Hui made the most adequate preparations before this, and with the support of Vice Chairman Liu for the carrier-based aircraft project, all the things related to carrier-based aircraft in China were brought together in Southwest Science and Industry, including some good things.

"We really don't have experience in developing carrier-based aircraft, but don't we have finished carrier-based aircraft for research? There are finished carrier-based aircraft for us to study. Our Southwest Science and Industry can have a very large grasp of the completion of the development work, this is not too worrying, and this is still a light carrier-based aircraft, the technical difficulty is already relatively small. ”

Reverse engineering is the only magic weapon of the Republic, in the Southwest Science and Industry embarked on the road of independent scientific research, in order to be able to break through the technical difficulties as soon as possible, Yang Hui had to be ready to use this ancestral talent again.

However, Embraer here obviously did not understand what Yang Hui meant, and after listening to Yang Hui say that it was necessary to reverse engineer the finished carrier-based fixed-wing aircraft, he immediately thought of those carrier-based aircraft on the Brazilian aircraft carrier, and the best fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft on it seemed to be a very old S-2 anti-submarine aircraft.

Immediately shook his head like a rattle, for that old antique, he couldn't give any reference to the current development of shipborne lightning, these two aircraft are not the same level at all.

"No, no, let's not talk about whether the Navy will provide us with the S-2 for study, just the structure of that aircraft is very different from our Lightning, as an old-fashioned spiral aircraft, its take-off and landing performance is very different from the Lightning, take-off and landing during the impact load is not a level at all, plus the different body structure of the two aircraft, there is no reference at all."

This is very right, and Yang Hui also agrees: "Well, this is very right, now the only fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft in the Brazilian Navy, the S-2, has no reference significance for our research and development work, but I also did not say that I should refer to the S-2 for the development of the lightning carrier-based aircraft project." After all, we have something better in our hands, and the take-off and landing environment of that aircraft is even worse than our Lightning, so it is best to use it as a reference. ”

Anyway, the republic has almost collected all the main fighters of the United States before the 80s, first of all, the American 100 series fighters, F-4, and F-5 collected from the mutual surrender between the two sides of the strait are all young and old, and after the United States withdrew from South Vietnam, a large number of damaged fighters that have not had time to be repaired, or simply have not had time to transport away, are a large number of fighters.

At that time, after Vietnam captured these planes, they also repaired them and used them for a long time, until they were thrown into museums and parks after there were no spare parts, and it was at that time that the Republic got some F-5s, and as for guys like F-4s, the captured version of the US Air Force also had a carrier-based version of the Navy.

In the previous place, the Fengtian Research Institute of the Republic had a relatively intact carrier-based F-4, and these things were all obtained by the Republic before the 80s, and this plane of the Southwest Science and Industry wanted to carry out the development of carrier-based aircraft, so it was ordered by Vice Chairman Liu to transfer all of them to the Southwest Science and Industry.
