Also in October of this year, in a secret aero-engine laboratory of the Second Group of AVIC, experts and engineers in white coats were crowded, staring at the behemoth in front of them: the imitation of the NK-321, the military turbofan engine with the largest thrust in the world, for ignition tests.

"Mr. Lin ......" looked at the huge engine in front of him, and Dr. Chen Wensheng, the project leader, was a little nervous, and subconsciously looked at Lin Hongfei.

"Rest assured, we have done so much work for this engine, the Russians have proven the reliability of this engine, and we have repeatedly done so many tests and comparisons, there will be absolutely no problems." Although Lin Hongfei was also nervous in his heart, he knew very well that the more he could not be nervous at this time, Lin Hongfei nodded to Chen Wensheng with a smile and encouraged.

"That's right, we've done so much work, and there's absolutely no problem." Lin Hongfei's words gave Dr. Chen great confidence, and his slightly pale face also looked a lot better, he took a deep breath, looked at all the members of the expert group who were looking at him, waiting for his most difficult order, and said heavily, "Ignition!" ”

"Ignition!"

With an order, the ignition button was pressed heavily, and the next moment the front fan blades of the engine turned from slow to fast, and they turned rapidly, as if it was just a blink of an eye, and the engine fan blades turned from the previous slow rotation into a howling that seemed to imply some strange rhythm.

"It worked!"

When the engine was running stably and entered the afterburner after the second step of starting, everyone was boiling when they saw the long blue flame spewing out of the tail of the engine, and the experts who stayed in the laboratory for several years for the domestic NK-321 engine were even more excited and cried with joy!

The tears on Lin Hongfei's face were even more wanton!

Eight years, eight years! Today. The success of our NK-321 means that the H-7, which has completed all the test flight subjects and even the first stage of the improvement program, can finally enter production, and the larger H-8, which uses four NK-321 engines, can finally be accelerated.

Heaven is pitiful, could it be that God can't bear to see this calamity and affliction nation suffer again, and finally return what this nation has lost in the past 300 years to this calamitous but resilient nation?

————————————————————————

Perhaps God felt that the test of this troubled nation was not enough, or in this year, on December 18, Israel officially announced the suspension of the contract signed with the Republic for the sale of four "Filcon" air early warning / command systems, and concluded that "Israel is a small country. unable to compensate US$1 billion in liquidated damages as agreed in the contract", it is clear that it is a trick.

Although Israel had long expected this, the republican side immediately called a press conference, and the press spokesman appeared at the press conference that day with a blushing face, using heated words that reporters had never seen before. He severely condemned Israel's perfidy and claimed that Israel's move would seriously affect the development of relations between the two countries.

Time. The AWACS incident instantly surpassed the 911 that had just passed. It has become the headline news of major media in the world.

Among the people, Israel's blatant breach of the treaty has also aroused the anger of every Chinese, the kind of shame and anger that the United States and Israel have jointly mocked: Israel's guarantee that "the AWACS aircraft does not contain American technology, and the United States has no right to interfere" is still echoing in the ears, and the fact of breaking the treaty is already in front of us.

On the Internet, which is predominantly young, the condemnation of Israel has been rising even higher. Many extreme netizens even called on the Chinese government to take action to give Israel some color.

And at this moment, Lin Hongfei had quietly boarded the plane to the capital.

"You're right. The Israelis just want to unite with the Americans to trap us, and now they even want to pay us the liquidated damages," said Ding Kexue's face when he said this, "Marx is right, capitalism is a group of bastards who forget their righteousness, and the Israelis are really a group of businessmen who can even sell their own nooses for profit, fortunately we kept a hand before." ”

"Didn't we expect the Israelis to do this," compared to Ding Science's anger, Lin Hongfei seemed very indifferent, "Anyway, we have also come into contact with the world's most advanced airborne early warning aircraft technology...... Jinling is very happy, right? ”

Yes, under Lin Hongfei's strong suggestion, in order to prevent mistakes when introducing the "Ferkang" system, the Republic left a hand when cooperating with Israel on the "Ferkang" system, although it did not leave a set of "Ferkang" system, but left as much information as possible on the "Ferkang" system, which will become a valuable asset, and then the Republic wants to make a breakthrough in the field of air early warning aircraft and carrier-based early warning aircraft, and these materials will play a vital role.

A certain electronics factory in Jinling is also the most advanced radar equipment research center in our country, if the Republic and Israel on the 'Ferkang' system cooperation is successful, the biggest blow is the Jinling electronics factory, after hearing that the cooperation between the Republic and Israel has failed, the people of the whole country are almost crazy, but a group of old experts and old engineers of the Jinling Electronics Factory are crying excitedly: Jinling Electronics Factory has been saved!

"Yes, I'm crazy with joy," as soon as he said this, Ding Kexue couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and he was a little ashamed, "We should have thought that these foreigners wouldn't have any good intentions." ”

Of course, Lin Hongfei couldn't continue to attack Ding Kexue, and comforted him, "We also want to quickly improve our country's military strength, and there is no way to do this kind of thing......"

"Yes, there's no way," Ding Kexue sighed, his expression suddenly became serious, "Brother Hongfei, I asked you to come over this time, because the country has a plan and hopes you can cooperate." ”

It is obviously not a trivial matter to be able to let Ding Science speak to himself in such a serious tone, and Lin Hongfei's expression suddenly became serious, "You say." ”

"The state hopes to develop a series of special aircraft on the basis of the Beijun 200, Y-8, and future Y-9 of your second group, including about 8 to 11 types of airborne early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, psychological warfare aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, electronic support and reconnaissance aircraft, and so on.

High-tech machine planning? Hearing Ding Kexue's words, Lin Hongfei almost exclaimed, is our high-tech plan about to start now?

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Lin Hongfei nodded heavily, "Don't worry, if there is anything that needs the cooperation and cooperation of our AVIC Second Group, we will go all out!" ”

"There is another thing, Comrade Lin Weiguo will participate in the whole process of this project as a military representative of the early warning aircraft project," looking at Lin Hongfei, Ding Kexue's smile was full of pride, "Comrade Hongfei, come on." ”

How can there be such a relationship? Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment, and also smiled: Although the span of his old man is large enough to earn from leading soldiers to scientific research, it doesn't matter, it's a good thing after all, isn't it?

When the war in Afghanistan began, when the eyes of all countries in the world focused on the point of "anti-terrorism", everyone was suddenly surprised to find that modern combat weapons were not as magical as they imagined when dealing with terrorism.

Millions of dollars a Tomahawk cruise missile, which is only used to blow up a small broken house of a terrorist, often fails; The F-16 fighter plane, which costs tens of thousands of dollars per hour, is gone after flying around for almost $100,000, and if you drop a few missiles and guided bombs, it will cost at least $200,000, but the results are not satisfactory.

People of insight can't help but start thinking, if it is just anti-terrorism, is it a waste to use such advanced weapons to deal with a group of terrorists with AK rifles and RPGs? Not only is the cost-effectiveness ratio not high, but the army can't hold up such a toss, look at the Americans, the money spent in Afghanistan every day is simply an astronomical amount, but what about the actual effect......

At this time, the Qiang-6, which the Chinese Air Force had just equipped to support ground attacks and ground armored target operations, came into the eyes of many people.

Recall that some time ago, when the Republic had just equipped the Qiang-6 in small batches, it was ridiculed by some countries, believing that the Chinese were poor and crazy and would be equipped with such a "live target" aircraft, but after a general understanding of the performance of the Qiang-5, many people suddenly found that the Qiang-6, an aircraft with slow flight speed but powerful ground attack firepower, was simply tailored for counter-terrorism.

At the beginning of '02, just after the end of the New Year, the new US President George W. Bush, who had just taken office and hoped to be supported by the Republic in international anti-terrorism affairs, appeared in the capital of the Republic on a special plane. mutual respect" to discuss their differences.

This was considered by the US media to mark the end of the US hard-line line toward China, but only Lin Hongfei knew that during this visit, Bush Jr. suddenly put forward a request for the introduction of a batch of J-6 aircraft. (To be continued......)
