Chapter 540: The First Foreign User

The spring is cold, the grass is showing new green, the temperature outside is still a little chilly, and the weather in early spring, even in the southern city of Songzhou, is far from reaching the warm wind gust.

In the No. 1 assembly workshop, a "Black Ghost" drone is undergoing final assembly, and it can be seen that most of the assembly has been carried out, and several assembly workers are installing the aircraft's engine.

The turbofan 21B engine was hoisted into the engine compartment, and the workers did not need special tools, but could install the engine with ordinary general tools.

Although it is only a drone, in terms of design, Li Tianfeng fully considers the maintenance of the aircraft, and it is very easy to install and disassemble, and it can be completed with basic tools.

Several workers are installing the engine, and several other workers are installing the aircraft's photoelectric sensing system, everyone is very careful, in addition to the photoelectric system, there is also an infrared sensing system and so on.

Li Tianfeng, Zhou Zhou Ding, and Lei Yong entered the No. 1 assembly workshop together, and saw the progress of this aircraft, Li Tianfeng was very satisfied, and Li Tianfeng said happily: "Mr. Zhou, the progress is very fast, when I came last week, this plane was far from such progress." ”

"After the assembly of the static verification machine and the first engineering verification machine, the workers have a certain amount of assembly experience, and the progress is much faster than before, and everyone is also a lot more proficient. ”

Li Tianfeng said: "According to this progress, the final assembly will be completed in a few days, this is our first aircraft, and this aircraft will be officially delivered to the military." ”

On Monday, this "Black Ghost" drone is the first aircraft delivered to the military, Li Tianfeng attaches great importance to it, and Zhou Ding also attaches great importance to it, and Zhou Ding basically has to come to the assembly workshop every day to take a look.

Zhou Ding said: "Boss, the military has an order for a total of 10 drones. After the delivery of these 10 drones, isn't the assembly workshop idle? ”

Li Tianfeng said: "Probably not, if nothing else, there should be news in the next few days, and our export-type 'Black Ghost' UAV should also be produced and started." ”

For the export-type "Black Ghost" drone, Lei Yong knows best. Although the comprehensive performance of this export type is one or two grades worse than that of the UAV delivered to the military, it is undoubtedly a very advanced UAV.

Lei Yong said: "Boss, the technical content of our export-oriented 'Black Ghost' UAV is less technically difficult, and it is easier to produce and manufacture, but I don't know, how many orders are for export-oriented UAVs?" ”

For the order of export-oriented drones, Li Tianfeng is also looking forward to it, but. Advanced drones are definitely very popular in the international market, and Li Tianfeng is not worried about orders.

What Li Tianfeng is worried about is the attitude of the state's top leaders, whether exports are allowed and which countries they can export to, this is not something that Li Tianfeng can decide, and he must listen to the state.

However, Li Tianfeng estimates that the Lunar New Year has passed. There should be a decision at the top, it should be a matter of the next few days.

In the No. 1 assembly workshop. Li Tianfeng took a serious look at the final assembly of the "Black Ghost" drone, and saw that the final assembly was in good condition, and he was more relieved.

Li Tianfeng attaches great importance to the quality of the aircraft, not to mention that this is the first aircraft delivered to the military, so naturally it cannot be taken lightly. At the beginning of the assembly, Li Tianfeng came to take a look, and now, he has come to take a serious look.

Two days later, a call came from the capital.

Finish answering the phone. Li Tianfeng's heart was full of joy, the country's top level has agreed to the export of the export-type "Black Ghost" drone to a certain country in the Middle East.

When he saw a high-level visit to China by a certain country in the Middle East, and China signed a package of agreements with the country to cooperate in the development of oil, Li Tianfeng knew that the export of drones should also be negotiated.

Therefore, when he was in the assembly workshop, Li Tianfeng said that there should be news in a few days, and sure enough, the phone called.

Li Tianfeng said in his heart, great, the "Black Ghost" drone is allowed to be exported, this Middle Eastern country is its first foreign user, and in the future, there will definitely be a second user and a third user.

After answering the phone, Li Tianfeng, who was in a happy mood, personally drove to the Chengnan base, where there was a special office for Li Tianfeng.

Entering this office, not long after sitting down, Zhou Zhou Ding who heard the news came over, knocked on the door and entered the office, Zhou Zhou Ding said: "Boss, you are coming to see the assembly of our first aircraft, the assembly is progressing smoothly, and in a few days, the plane will be delivered to the military." ”

Li Tianfeng smiled and said: "I know that you are paying attention to the assembly of the first aircraft, I am very relieved, I came here today, mainly to take a look at the situation of our export-type 'Black Ghost' drone, and call Mr. Lei and Dawu to me." ”

Soon, Li Dawu and Lei Yong walked into Li Tianfeng's office, and Li Tianfeng said: "Everyone sit, let me tell you a good news, the export of the 'Black Ghost' UAV, the country's high-level has agreed, and the XX country in the Middle East will become the first foreign user of our 'Black Ghost' UAV." ”

"XX country! This is a big oil country, but it has been sanctioned by the United States. "Monday Ding Dao.

Lei Yong said: "Boss, our drone will soon have its first foreign user, which is really good news." ”

Li Tianfeng nodded and said, "Mr. Lei, the technical preparations for the export-type 'Black Ghost' drone have all been completed." ”

Since the last time he signed an order with the military for drones in Beijing, Li Tianfeng expected that the "Black Ghost" drone might be exported, and Li Tianfeng once instructed Lei Yong to carry out the design of the export-type "Black Ghost" drone.

It's a design, but it's not, it's just a slight change, and some advanced places are reduced in performance, and the shape and basic design remain the same, and the workload is not large.

Lei Yong said: "It's all done, and I'm about to send it to the boss for you to see." ”

Li Tianfeng said: "Wait a minute, I'm going to take a good look." ”

Lei Yong said: "Boss, our engines have a monitoring system, and the avionics system also has a backdoor program, do you want to remove these things." ”

Every engine produced by Tianfeng Technology Company has a monitoring system, which is networked with the monitoring center of Tianfeng Technology Company, no matter where the engine is, Tianfeng Technology Company can know the location of the engine, and if the engine has any failure, Tianfeng Technology Company will also know.

Internationally, several major aero-engine giants also do this, such as an aircraft equipped with Rolls-Royce engines, no matter where it flies, Rolls-Royce knows the location of the aircraft, flight path and so on.

Li Tianfeng said: "There is no need to remove it, this is a common practice in the world. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Tianfeng said: "Dawu, do a good job in starting production, once we sign an order contract with the XX country, we will immediately start the production and manufacturing of export-oriented UAVs." ”

Li Dawu nodded and said, "Okay, let's prepare for production immediately." ”

On the issue of export-type "Black Ghost" UAVs, Li Tianfeng, Zhou Yiding, Li Dawu, and Lei Yong held a short meeting together and deployed a series of work.

After the meeting, Li Tianfeng looked at the design of the export-type UAV, mainly looking at the changes made, and after reading it, Li Tianfeng basically agreed.

The overall comprehensive performance of the export-type "Black Ghost" UAV is slightly worse than that of the official "Black Ghost" UAV, the stealth performance is basically the same as that of F22, and the performance of airborne equipment such as electronic defense systems, optoelectronic systems, and infrared sensing systems is slightly worse.

The engine, flight speed and range of the export-oriented "Black Ghost" UAV have basically not changed, and the overall performance is basically the same as that of the Global Hawk UAV of the United States, or slightly worse. But it is better than the export version of the Global Hawk, and the export version of the "Black Ghost" drone is a very good drone even if the overall performance decreases.

………

After a period of final assembly, Tianfeng Technology's first "Black Ghost" drone delivered to the military finally rolled off the assembly line.

At the end of the delivery ceremony, the door of the No. 1 assembly workshop was opened, and the drone slowly went out of the No. 1 assembly workshop towards the airport under the traction of the tractor.

The "Black Ghost" drone entered the airport, parked on the runway, a fuel truck came over, and several ground crew members filled the drone with fuel.

Li Tianfeng and other senior executives of Tianfeng Technology Company, as well as representatives of the military, walked into the flight control command center located in the airport tower.

The drone began to be connected to the control and command system, the fuel was refueled, and it was ready to take off, a military representative personally pressed the button, the aircraft engine started, and several operators controlled the aircraft to start accelerating, and then flew into the blue sky.

Seeing the plane gradually moving away, the huge flight control command center erupted in bursts of applause, and the drone, draped in the morning sun, flew into the distance.

Thousands of miles away, a military base.

Several senior military officers were in the control and command center of the base, and through the huge glass, they could see the airfield outside.

This is a large military airport, on the airport, all kinds of planes parked, there are J-10, J-11 fighters, there are also Yun-8 and other transport planes, these planes, on the tarmac neatly parked.

The runway of the airport was clean and very smooth, and it was clear that it had been prepared for a long time, and one of the officers, looking at his military watch, thought to himself that the plane should be coming soon.

Sure enough, a captain walked over quickly and reported loudly and happily: "Chief, in five minutes, the plane will arrive at the airport." ”

The Black Ghost drone will come over, and the first Black Ghost drone will be deployed at the airport.

Five minutes later, the "Black Ghost" drone was seen, flying from a distance, lowering altitude and preparing to land on the runway.
