Chen Geng did not shy away from this, and said calmly: "I said that I have no selfish intentions, and you definitely don't believe it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hmm......"

Li Jianguo responded, it is true, he does not believe in Chen Geng's consciousness, but he understands human nature, if Chen Geng really has no selfishness at all, Runhua Industry will not be able to develop to this point: "Your Runhua Industry is an industrial manufacturing enterprise, and it does not provide all kinds of metal raw materials needed to manufacture aircraft; Second, it does not provide all kinds of professional military electronic systems on the aircraft; Third, the production of such large military aircraft will not be very large, and I personally estimate that the production capacity of about 100 aircraft will be about the same. ”

Staring at Chen Geng, Li Jianguo's eyes seemed to be able to see through Chen Geng's heart: "In terms of 100 aircraft, counting the installed and standby, there are 500 engines that will reach the sky, how much profit can you have?" Such a large amount of input, but the output is only so small. You kid has always been unprofitable, if you invest such a large amount of money elsewhere, you will definitely make more money than you make on this project, now you tell me, what do you rely on to make money on this project? ”

"You're right, from a business point of view, if I invest such a sum of money elsewhere, I will definitely be able to earn more," Chen Geng did not deny this, his eyes fell on his shoulder, looking at the two-bar two-star lieutenant colonel rank epaulette, his eyes were full of affection: "But I am also a soldier, I hope that our country has a stronger national defense, and I am also willing to make some contributions to the country's national defense construction......

For this project, my goal is to break even financially, even if it is a little loss, I can accept it, of course, I also believe that the state will not treat me badly, and some things that the state can give me may be more valuable than money. ”

Looking at Chen Geng fixedly, for a long time, Li Jianguo smiled, this kid is really a chicken thief, and patted Chen Geng's shoulder heavily: "You are right, of course the country will not treat you badly." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

After clarifying this question, Li Jianguo naturally asked: "Although the H-8 is enlarged on the basis of the H-6, with our country's current level of industry, science and technology, and materials, how feasible do you think this plan is?" ”

"I have communicated with the comrades of Xifei on this issue, and the comrades of Xifei said that the biggest problem they encountered in the process of developing the H-8 was the engine, and in addition to the engine, other problems can be solved even at the level of our country in the 70s; now in the past 15 or 6 years, our country has made rapid progress in science and technology, materials, and technology, and although there are difficulties, they are all to the extent that they can be reached on tiptoe, and relatively speaking, there are more concerns about electronic equipment."

After a pause, Chen Geng said: "The result of my communication with the comrades of Xifei is that if our navy has this intention, we can sit together and discuss what needs to be modified, what needs to be adjusted, what is the cost, and what kind of new requirements are there...... If everyone is satisfied with the outcome of the discussion, then the project is officially launched, and if everyone is not satisfied with the outcome of the discussion, then say something else. ”

"Of course it's good to be able to sit together and discuss," Li Jianguo nodded: "But in this way, it is equivalent to putting all the risks on you." ”

"As big as the risk, how big the return," Chen Geng smiled: "We just treat this project as a project with relatively large risks but equally rich returns." ”

Li Jianguo nodded slowly.

――――――――――――――――

The Air Force wanted a large bomber with strategic deterrence capabilities, and after receiving a call from Xifei and confirming that the Air Force did not need to invest money in this project, the relevant leaders of the Air Force could no longer bear it: The Air Force must participate in this project!

What they think is very simple, if this thing is done, the Air Force will have a "killer" weapon, and this importance cannot be overstated; Even if it doesn't work, there's nothing to lose by going to see it, just go to contact Xifei. In that case, why not?

With the vigorous promotion of all sides, it took only half a month for a small-scale discussion on whether the H-8 bomber could be successfully resurrected in an extremely low-key manner in the capital. At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Geng, the presiding officer of the meeting, made clear to everyone present a basic principle of this meeting......

"Leaders, comrades, before the meeting begins, I need to explain one point: no matter whether the 909 project can be successfully launched, others absolutely do not want to see our large bombers appear, so no matter whether the 909 project can be launched in the end, please keep today's meeting confidential, this is a confidential document, please sign it." It was September 1990, and it was natural to use the code name "909" to refer to the H-8 bomber.

No one hesitated, no one hesitated, and everyone didn't look at it, one by one they happily signed their own words on the confidential documents in front of them, and everyone knew that such strategic-level weapons and equipment, whether it was demonstration or research and development, even if it was formally installed in the future, secrecy work would always be the top priority, and the principle of secrecy could not be overemphasized.

There was no extra politeness and greetings, and after some opening remarks, the meeting officially entered the theme: "Leaders, please look at the curtain, which is the design and shape of the H-8 bomber before Xifei and some key data. ”

"Then let me talk about it first," Li Jianguo was the first to stand up, he had to stand up for Chen Geng to support the field, pointed to the projection on the screen in front of him and said to Chen Geng and Xifei's comrades: "According to the information you provided about this old H-8, it is said that H-8 has a maximum bomb load of 18 tons, and when carrying 7 tons of ammunition normally, it has a range of 11,000 kilometers, that is, a combat radius of about 4,500 kilometers, right?" ”

"Yes." Xu Deguang hurriedly nodded in response.

"Very good, but judging from the pictures, this old H-8 does not have external weapon pylons, which means that it does not have the ability to launch missiles, laser-guided bombs and other precision strike weapons, and can only use unguided bombs. ”

Xu Deguang thought for a while and said, "It should be no problem to bring 6 pieces." ”

"Not enough! Less! ”

Li Jianguo waved his hand vigorously, very dissatisfied with this answer: "Such a large plane, such a large bomb load, such a long range, can only carry 6 missiles?" That's not enough! Far from enough! You need to bring at least 12 pieces! ”

"I would also like to say that I very much agree with Vice Minister Li's remarks: The new H-8 must have precision strike capabilities, and there must be a large number of them!" The representative of the Air Force took the opportunity to interject a sentence, the Navy needs an air-launched YJ-6, and the Air Force also needs to launch an air-to-ground-6, isn't it? "It would be more conservative to be able to carry 12 YJ-6 or air-to-ground 6 missiles, and it would be better if you could bring two or four more."

Listening to the words of the Navy and the Air Force, Xu Deguang's scalp is about to explode!

The most advanced H-6 produced by Xifei is the H-6 Ding, but there are only two external weapon pylons, which can be attached to two YJ-6 air-launched anti-ship missiles, and at least 12 are to be attached at this time, which means that at least six external weapon pylons, each weapon pylon, carries two missiles in the form of composite suspension, and the weight of the six missiles plus the weapon pylons is at least 13 tons.

Considering that two engines must be suspended on each side of the wing, and the weight of the engine, the engine cover, and the engine pylons is at least 5 tons, compared with the extremely smooth H-6 on the wing, it means that the wing on each side has to bear at least 18 tons of weight, and the overall stress structure of the aircraft and the structure of the wing must be redesigned.

Xu Deguang said that if you want to achieve this level of engineering difficulty, but Li Jianguo waved his hand and said unceremoniously: "That's a problem you need to consider, for our navy, it is very simple to want us to support this project, at least 12 missiles can be attached, this condition is not negotiable!" ”

The comrades of the Air Force were not polite, and followed: "There is also a weapon pylon in the belly of the plane, I think it is necessary to design it with the kind of revolver-like structure of the United States and the Soviet Union, and the current pylon of the H-6 is too inconvenient, and the bunches of bombs are hung like grapes......

"There's also data bus technology, which is a good thing......"

Everyone was gossiping, and it didn't take long for them to make a lot of demands, and Chen Geng looked at Xifei's comrades' faces turned blue.

"Everyone's requirements are too high," Xu Deguang muttered: "If so many weapons and ammunition are required, the difficulty of the entire project will be more than doubled, and the development cycle will be greatly lengthened......

"We don't care about that!"

Without waiting for Xu Deguang to finish speaking, Li Jianguo rudely interrupted him: "Our navy's attitude is very clear, we really need a new type of long-range bomber, but this bomber must have the ability to strike accurately at the 'point', and it is capable of precision strike in multiple batches, not a fool who can only drop and paste bombs, if we can do it, the navy will also smash the pot and sell iron, otherwise we would rather change the current H-6!" ”

The comrades of the Air Force are not far behind: "The Air Force also means the same. ”
