Since Northrop revealed the DSI intake, everything has been settled, and it is impossible to quit if you want to. People are like this, they are still indecisive when they have a choice, but when they make a choice, they are ruthless.

The two sides are already grasshoppers on the same line, and Northrop is now optimistic, only then does he remember another news that the president of the company asked him to bring when he met the United States a month ago.

"By the way, the upgraded J-74 fighter developed by Northrop for Thailand has entered the end, and all test flights have been completed, and Thai pilots have been on the spot for dozens of hours. It is expected that the production will be finalized next year, and you must be ready to take on the production task. ”

The customized version of the J-74 developed for Thailand began several years ago, and now after more than two years, there will be no difficulties with Northrop's technical strength.

After notifying Yang Hui of the news, Yang Hui could not sigh, there are really a lot of production tasks in this year, and the only thing to be thankful for is that the J-74 delivered to Thailand will only start in 88, and the production line should be able to reach its peak by then, and it is not a problem to complete the delivery.

"This is good news, Thailand's orders have now increased to 70 aircraft, and the total amount of various supporting facilities is as high as 900 million US dollars, I believe that we can both make a big profit, which is a good start for our cooperation."

When it comes to making money, both sides look at each other and smile, what can be more tempting than the green dollar bills, and any cracks can be mended in front of the dollar bills, and the technical cooperation between the two sides will continue to deepen according to the new plan.

On the side of the Southwest Science and Industry, Northrop ate Northrop to death, and finally forced Northrop to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. He took out the DSI technology that Boeing first developed and promised to assist in the development.

Equally. On the other side of the earth, with the news that Yang Hui had specially advised. Mr. Wen and the future pillars of Southwest Science and Industry walked into the door of the 8th International Aspirated Engine Conference.

This time, not only to participate in the meeting, but also a kind reminder, for the future Xinnan Science and Technology Industry to continue to get the advanced technology needed from the United States imperialism to pave the way, the first time to do this kind of work Chief Wen seemed very uncomfortable.

In the end, as a last resort, Mr. Wen pulled out Zhong Jianjian, who he had always been very optimistic about, and the young man was the most thick-skinned, this kind of limelight. It is a good thing to force, presumably young people are the most suitable.

The facts were not what Chief Wen expected, after listening to Chief Wen's words. Zhong Jianjian's eyes lit up. After that, we can also blackmail the US imperialist technologically, and I feel energetic when I think about it.

With a glorious mission, Zhong Jianshe was staring at the opportunity, and finally on a sunny afternoon, taking advantage of the gap before the meeting began, he mysteriously called aside the representatives of General Motors who came to the meeting.

called someone over, Zhong Jianshe calmed down, coughed twice, and then sat down.

"Mr. Brown. Do you know why I called you here? ”

Brown with an unknown face has been proud in recent years, and in his early thirties, he became a senior executive of the aviation branch of General Motors with his excellent skills, and has been responsible for most of the development of the entire F110 engine.

With such success at this age, Brown is a winner in life. In this participation in the International Aspirated Engine Conference, I also gave a very high-level speech in the morning, and I am ready to continue to receive applause in the afternoon.

But he was suddenly pulled aside by a small technician from the Red Republic of the Aero Engine Desert. The pretense of mystery looks really joyful.

"I don't care what you're looking for me. You only have one minute, and it depends on my mood whether to answer or not. ”

Tsundere Brown has a nostril-facing expression. It seems that everything is under control. This made Zhong Jianshe smile, this is the world giant, and it really has its own style!

Since, GM wants to install the ratio, Zhong Jianshe can only accompany the installation, although Zhong Jianshe doesn't know what the installation ratio is, but this is not a problem.

"GM is indeed strong now, but in my opinion, there is a huge danger hidden behind the strength, if it is not detected and dealt with in time, I dare not imagine the future of GM."

"A hidden crisis? GM has already weathered all kinds of winds and waves, and there is no big deal, and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome with GM's ability. ”

For Zhong Jianjian's kind reminder, Brown said that this so-called kind reminder, GM does not know how many times it receives every year, but the final facts show that it has no meaning.

There was nothing to remember about such a small episode, Brown shook his head and turned away, the meeting was about to start, how could a giant like General Motors be late.

Regarding Brown's reaction, Zhong Jianshe can be regarded as knowledgeable, and he doesn't care about the current general spring breeze, he doesn't care about his kind reminder, and now he just needs to remind the news well.

"General Motors is a world giant, the aero engine business is really strong, but there will always be unexpected omissions in the design of industrial machinery, we found that the F404 engine has huge design flaws, if you are interested, you can come to our Southwest Science and Industry Company of the Republic of China, we will discuss."

After finishing speaking, he saw Brown walking towards the conference center without looking back, and he didn't seem to care about his reminder, Zhong Jianshe could only silently bless in his heart, hoping that the problem with the F404 engine would break out as soon as possible.

After a holy blessing, Zhong Jianshe also raised his legs and walked towards the conference center, the main task of coming to the United States this time is to participate in the conference and increase knowledge, as for other issues, we can only wait for time to prove everything

The International Aspirated Engine Conference was held in July, and after two weeks, Zhong Jianshe kindly reminded General Motors, and the meeting was held as usual and ended.

The plane returning home had just taken off, located in the North Atlantic Ocean on the front line of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, and the F18 that took off from the aircraft carrier took off under the huge kinetic energy of the B13 catapult, and began to play a game of hide and seek with the Soviet Navy as usual, and the two sides had long been familiar with the rules.

As a multi-purpose aircraft, the F18 is far inferior to the F14 in combat and volleying, but it is also sent out to relax and relax. All went smoothly twenty minutes after takeoff, with a shrill siren in the cockpit and a scarlet warning sign sending a message.

"Report, engine on fire, left engine loses thrust, remedy, remedy!"

The aircraft carrier has just received the news and has not yet reacted. After the left engine of the F18 in the air caught fire, it jumped to the right engine, and saw that both engines lost power, and the forced landing in this vast sea was completely fantastic.

As a last resort, I can only choose the last path: "The right engine is also out of motion, the plane is completely out of power, about to eject, about to eject!" ”

After finishing speaking, before he could respond, the pilot closed his eyes and pulled up the ejection ring vigorously, and as the rocket engine started, a huge flame rose into the air, and the pilot successfully ejected.

As for the plane, it was naturally flying towards the sea with billowing smoke without power or control, and the black oil smoke along the way was extremely conspicuous.

When the plane hit the surface of the sea, there was a huge explosion, and the entire plane was dismembered, and the scattered corpses splashed to the surface of the sea, and finally sank to the deep seabed.

In this case, not to mention salvaging the black box, it is difficult to find a decent piece of wreckage, and the only evidence that can prove that a plane has exploded here is only the flakes of oil floating on the sea.

In 1987, the United States lost a total of 9 F18 aircraft, the third of which appeared, and it was also the first F18 aircraft to have an accident because of engine fire.

As a result, General Motors, which was responsible for the development of the F404, was approached by the Navy and issued an official letter requiring General Motors to carefully investigate the cause of the engine accident. (To be continued.) )
