Zhang Lan was also very excited in his heart, but compared with the old navy like Rear Admiral Liu, Zhang Lan was more concerned about the technical details, and his engine knew that compared with Lao Maozi's AL-31F, the engine of the Alice Group had huge advantages in fuel economy, efficiency or thrust, so now Zhang Lan couldn't wait to know, "Have you calculated that after replacing our engine, can the new J-15 fly on the old tile with full fuel and ammunition?" If it is ejected with steam, does the range increase compared to before? How much has the bomb load increased? ”

The J-15 carrier-based heavy fighter developed by the Republic of China itself uses a Russian-made AL-31F turbofan engine with afterburner, with a maximum thrust of more than 12,000 kN. If the Alice Group is not mixed in, it is possible to replace it in the future with a domestically produced turbofan engine that basically imitates the AL-31F: WS-10, compared with the Russian-made AL-31F, the maximum thrust of the WS-10 can reach about 13,000 kN, which is slightly greater than the thrust of the AL-31F. This can also be understood, after all, the development of the AL-31F began as early as 1976, and it has been more than 30 years since then, and even if the technology of the republic in the military industry is not developed, the efforts to catch up with the republic over the years are enough to make the WS-10 produced by the republic itself stronger, and at the same time, it will also get rid of the dilemma that the core of the aviation industry: the aero engine is controlled by others.

But after the emergence of the Alice Group, the situation is completely different, the engine brought by the Alice Group is a performance that exceeds the most advanced in the United States, used for the F-22 "Raptor" stealth fighter F119-PW-100 turbofan engine, if the J-10 is replaced with the engine provided by the Alice Group, it is almost equivalent to maintaining the original weight of the premise, one more engine will bring J-10 will be the overall performance of the best improvement

Zhang Lan was very excited, and the expert was also excited, and his mouth was trembling with excitement, "We have just made a hasty calculation, if our engine is replaced, the J-10 fighter can take off with full fuel and ammunition on the old tile...... Oh, and I'm talking about this full-tank mission with the largest payload...... You can even make a slight adjustment, and there is no problem with adding two more plug-in points; ”

"If it is a catapult take-off, it can naturally carry more weapons and ammunition, and the result of our rough calculation is that it can carry up to four anti-ship missiles or four heavy air-based ground-attack missiles, and even after the hardpoint is strengthened, it can carry two super-heavy bombs with a single weight of 4 tons and a combat radius of 1,000 kilometers

"So powerful?"

Zhang Lan and Major General Liu's eyes invariably flashed with a hint of joy.

Although many fighter jets now often claim that they have a combat radius of more than 1,500 kilometers, but in fact this data is not reliable, this is under ideal conditions, carrying only four anti-aircraft missiles, flying directly from a high altitude to the target area of the data, usually if it is a real battlefield combat mission, can reach 1,000 kilometers is rare. For example, the maximum range of the world's mainstream active main battle tanks can reach 500 kilometers, which looks good, but in fact, under war conditions, this number will quickly shorten to about 200 kilometers, which is the truth.

The combat radius stipulated by the aircraft carrier aircraft of the United States is 500 kilometers, and of course there is the reason for the short legs of the F-14 "Tomcat" fighter F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet," the two carrier-based fighters of the United States, but more importantly, it is because according to the calculations of the United States, only when the combat radius of 500 kilometers is guaranteed, it is convenient for the aircraft carrier formation of the United States to coordinate with each other and support operations, and it cannot be coordinated farther.

However, the situation of the Republic and the people of the United States is slightly different, the aircraft carrier formation of the United States is a global combat mission, and many times it is possible to fight in isolation, and the formation is naturally more compact, but the Republic Navy is more of a combat mission at the doorstep, that is, the "green water" combat mission, because it is at its own doorstep, in addition to the aircraft carrier of the Navy, it can also be supported by naval aviation and even air force units that take off from land, the radius of this operation, You can properly zoom in to 1000 kilometers, and there is no problem with this. …,

"Actually, I think the game is a waste," the expert was excited, smashing his mouth, and feeling a little regretful, "The performance of this engine is a little too strong, resulting in a lot of unnecessary performance waste...... In terms of weapon design, it is natural that there is a shortage in any aspect, but if the indicators are exceeded too much, it is also a waste. ”

Zhang Lan has heard of this statement, for example, if an airplane, if it can't withstand the static force of the design index of 90, it means that the aircraft must have a certain link in place when it was designed, but if it finally withstands the static force of 110 and is still fine, it means that the aircraft is "overweight" and must be "lost weight".

The engine provided by Alice Group is good, but it also brings a lot of waste in terms of performance, which is undoubtedly undesirable.

"No, it's definitely not wasted" Before Zhang Lan could say anything, Major General Liu was afraid that Zhang Lan would change his mind, and said excitedly, "I want this, it must be this, we can redesign the internal fuel tank, reduce some fuel tanks to shorten the range, and at the same time use the saved weight to bring more weapons...... Eight plug-in points aren't enough, right? A lot of words, so let's get 11 fighters, are you still afraid of bringing too many weapons? ”

There is no more reason for this to be said, Zhang Lan nodded with a wry smile, if you have to say so, this is not an idea to "reduce weight" for the aircraft.

"But there is still a small problem...... Major General Liu's reaction was too excited, probably to scare the expert of the Alice Group, this guy hesitated for a moment before speaking, and said in a sneering manner.

"Still have questions?" Major General Liu, who was just excited as if he was about to float up, heard this, and was repeatedly hammered on the chest, and his face that was excited just now was a little white, Lin Hongfei estimated that after this sentence, Major General Liu's heartbeat was at least 20 faster than just now. But Major General Liu couldn't care so much, he only knew that something seemed to be wrong, and then he wanted to know what was wrong, "What's the problem with the inversion?" ”

"Aerodynamic shape and air intake," this guy learned to be obedient, and when he saw Major General Liu's reaction, he immediately said, "But if you want to achieve the ability to cruise at supersonic speed, the aerodynamic shape needs to be slightly modified, and the air intake channel must also make some modifications accordingly...... This aircraft was not originally designed based on supersonic cruise flight conditions. ”

It turned out to be this, I thought it was a big deal, and Major General Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

Now the third generation and commonly known as the "three and a half generations" fighters in service in the world have the ability to fly at supersonic speed, but in most cases they will not fly at supersonic speed, the reason is very simple, because if you want to fly at supersonic speed, you must turn on afterburner, but in the case of afterburner, the fuel consumption of the aircraft will be several times faster than the usual speed.

Since everyone mainly flies at high subsonic speed on weekdays, designers naturally pay more attention to the aerodynamic shape layout of the aircraft under high subsonic flight conditions when designing the aerodynamic shape of these aircraft...... The requirements for the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft in high subsonic flight conditions are naturally slightly different from the aerodynamic shape in supersonic cruise flight conditions, and this is natural. This kind of thing is not a big deal.

But despite this, Major General Liu cautiously asked, "Is it necessary to make large-scale changes to the aerodynamic shape of the current aircraft?" ”。

"Not really," the expert said honestly, "although there are some adjustments to be made in terms of aerodynamic shape and intake, there are not many adjustments...... Well, I guess I can complete the design of all the changes in about half a year. ”…,

Half a month to complete all the resets? That means that the amount of work is not large, Major General Liu pushed himself and others, and he was relieved in his heart, turned his head and looked at Zhang Lan with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, can we talk about the radar?" ”

Yes, the Air Force and Naval Aviation Units are equipped with fighters equipped with the active phased array radar system provided by the Alice Group, the performance of this radar is only excellent, and even when the troops are flying in formation, they are often equipped with or reequipped with the aircraft equipped with that radar as temporary early warning aircraft and command aircraft. The 15 fighters are fully equipped with the active phased array radar of the Alice Group...... To be honest, the price is a bit expensive.

"Slow down," Zhang Lan smiled, but one sentence broke Major General Liu's good mood, "General, it's right that our Alice Group agreed to provide you with a new engine, and there is not much of a problem with matching, but in this case, shouldn't we talk about the specific details of this engine cooperation?" ”

Major General Liu was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted...... Nima, Bai has been happy for so long, and so far there has not been a single detail on how this engine will cooperate

Alice Group is also a thief, if it is made at the beginning, before knowing the actual effect, I am afraid that Major General Liu will hesitate, but after seeing the actual effect, let Major General Liu give up these good things...... Is he willing?

The current Major General Liu really has a taste of being slaughtered by Zhang Lan, and the dignified Major General, at this moment, he looked at Lin Hongfei vigilantly like a little Lori facing a strange uncle, and asked cautiously, "Are you...... What are you going to do? ”

This expression, with this action, is a little Lori who is about to be molested by a strange uncle.

"It's not that I want to do anything, but since you want to buy this engine from us, you have to show some sincerity, right? A lot of words" Lin Hongfei said with tears and laughter, seeing Major General Liu open his mouth and speak, Zhang Lan's next sentence blocked his words in his stomach, "Don't tell me that you buy it with money, Mr. Liu, you know, this engine is not something that can be bought with money...... Why don't you take the money and buy their F119-PW-100 with the Chinese people and try it? ”

Major General Liu was speechless.

The F119-PW-100 is the most advanced fighter in service in the United States: the engine used on the F-22 "Raptor" stealth fighter. Isn't that their lifeline?

"And what do you want?" His words were blocked back, and Major General Liu said stupidly.

"First of all, the engine is absolutely to be bought with money, 15 million US dollars a piece, no two prices." Zhang Lan said.

"There's no problem with this, but what about the second?" Major General Liu did not frown, and agreed to Zhang Lan's first condition without hesitation.

$15 million for one engine, two J-15 fighters will be used on it, that's $30 million, and that's just the engine, if you count the radar, the on-board computer system, the data link system, the fire control system, and all the other things, the price of an aircraft will be at least $70 million or more, and this price is absolutely not cheap.

But Major General Liu knows that this price is so fair that it can't be more fair, and even if it is calculated according to the production cost of the Mi people, the engine sold to them by the Alice Group may lose money: In the early days, even the unit price of the Mi military's own procurement exceeded 240 million US dollars, but fortunately, after the production came up, the cost dropped a lot, otherwise even the wealthy Mi Di would not be able to equip the F-22...... In fact, even at the current price of $120 million a plane, the Midi is somewhat unaffordable, and the Midi, which was originally planned to be equipped with 800 F-22s, was eventually equipped with more than 300 F-22s because of the high price and the fact that it has been fighting with Lao Sa and Uncle Ben in recent years. …,

You say, after understanding that Alice Group definitely offered a fair price, did Major General Liu still dare to frown and bargain? After learning about the performance of the Alice Group's aero engine, he was even mentally prepared for $25 million for a single engine.

Major General Liu knows very well that since Alice Group has offered such a fair price, it must make a fuss about the second or even the third condition, and the next condition is the most difficult.

"The second condition, I want a head"

Zhang Lan's words made Major General Liu's face change suddenly, pointing at Lin Hongfei, almost unable to believe what he heard, and trembling, "You...... What did you say? ”

"I said, in the next three years, I want 100 heads of corrupt officials, at least one in the central government, at least 5 at the provincial and ministerial levels, 30 at the municipal level, and the rest are the following ......" Zhang Lan looked at Major General Liu with a smile, "How about it, is there a problem?" ”

Major General Liu was already sweating profusely when he listened, obviously standing like this, as if he couldn't feel anything, but he clearly felt that there seemed to be a big stone pressing on his chest, so that he couldn't even breathe, Zhang Lan This is ...... I'm going to set off a bloody storm in the republic

"This kind of thing, it......'s impossible," Major General Liu shook his head bitterly, "Even if you don't want this engine, the people above won't agree to your condition." ”

Major General Liu is also very clear and knows that Zhang Lan's request is made to himself, but it is not the military that really accepts this condition, but the high-level bigwigs, and he is telling the high-level bigwigs in this way: I, Zhang Lan, will kill 100 corrupt officials in the next three years

The ideals are lofty and great, but Major General Liu does not think that just cutting off his head can change some of the current phenomena of the country...... Some things can't be solved by cutting off their heads, when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was in the time, the requirements for officials were harsh enough, right? Many words embezzled more than 10 taels of silver to peel off the skin, peel off the skin, and fill it with grass, this harsh punishment is estimated to be able to scare many people, right? A lot of words but this is not the case, what should be corrupted, or the same corruption, since there is no way to secretly corrupt, then another way, what ice respect, charcoal respect, fire consumption, big bucket in and small bucket out...... There are countless ways to embezzle and enrich one's pockets, and if you want to eliminate corruption by cutting off your head, this is really not a good way to eradicate corruption.

"Really? It seems to make sense for you to say that......" Lin Hongfei suddenly laughed, "Well, since cutting off your head can't really solve the problem, then ...... What about the independence of the judiciary? ”

"Independence of the judiciary?" Major General Liu was stunned.

As far as the current political system of the world is concerned, there is no truly perfect political system, but relatively speaking, socialism plus the separation of powers seems to be a very desirable system, but it is a pity that although our country implements a socialist system - of course, we all know what this is all about, and we will not discuss it too much here - but the separation of powers has not been implemented.

If judicial independence can really be realized, the judiciary can really compete with government departments, and if it is really possible to achieve "the law can be followed, the law must be followed, the law must be strictly enforced, and the law must be investigated".

"So that's the case" Major General Liu suddenly realized: From the beginning, Lin Hongfei didn't expect to be able to solve the problem by cutting off his head. (To be continued.)
