"Mr. Lin, the Tu-154 is a very good aircraft, and the price is very cheap, it can provide the same transport capacity as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, but compared to the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, a Tu-154 will cost 15 million Swiss francs......"

At the current exchange rate, 15 million Swiss francs is about 8 million US dollars, an Airbus A320 costs 40 million US dollars, the price of a Boeing 737 is about the same, and the price of a Tu-154 is equivalent to one-fifth of that of Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. ”

"But Mr. Lin, I heard that you have an airline in the United States......" Tupolev winked slyly.

Lin Hongfei secretly cursed in his heart, this guy knows himself much more deeply than he thought.

"Yes," Lin Hongfei nodded, but he was already a little annoyed in his heart: Is this old man slaughtering me like a fool? Lin Hongfei, who was a little annoyed in his heart, naturally stopped being so polite in his words, "But Mr. Tupolev, aircraft engaged in commercial shipping in the United States need to be certified airworthiness by the FAA, has your TU-154 obtained the FAA airworthiness certificate?" ”

Alexei. Tupolev was speechless for a moment, yes, it is good for Lin Hongfei to have an airline in the United States, but he sold him an aircraft that did not obtain an FAA airworthiness certificate and could not be operated commercially in the United States, isn't this playing people like fools? No wonder Lin Hongfei was so annoyed.

"Mr. Tupolev, if you can get the FAA airworthiness certificate, I promise to purchase a considerable amount of TU-154s to enrich my airline."

Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Alexey. In addition to a wry smile, Tupolev smiled. Or a wry smile: TU-154 is impossible to obtain the FAA's airworthiness certificate, which has nothing to do with the quality of TU-154, the current Americans and Europeans hold the right to set standards, even if your products are advanced, safe, and the engine is qualified, you have to listen to others, even if it is qualified, you can always find a reason for disqualification, saying that you will not let your aircraft enter my market, that is, you will not let your aircraft enter my market...... This is true local protectionism. This is the first-class enterprise to do the standard, the second-rate enterprise to do the quality. Third-rate companies make products.

"Mr. Lin, let's not talk about this, let's talk about another thing...... I have a friend who would like to see you. Tupolev sighed and said to Lin Hongfei.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but be stunned. "Didn't I already know Mr. Pirme?"

"It's not Pyrm, it's ......" Tupolev hesitated. Finally said. "It's someone from the Yakovlev Design Bureau."

"Someone from the Yakovlev Design Bureau?" Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment, "What do they want to see me for?" "The people from the Yakovlev Design Bureau want to see themselves, this is really a bit unexpected by Lin Hongfei, not some, it is very unexpected by Lin Hongfei, he asked the Tupolev Design Bureau." The Yakovlev Design Bureau should not be short of money, right? Lockheed. Didn't Martin just spend $300 million on them? ”

"Do you know anything about this?" This time, the surprised one was replaced by Alexei. Tupolev, some time ago Lockheed, one of the largest arms dealers in the United States. The Martin company threw a lot of money at the Yakovlev Design Bureau, and at the end of the day, it almost "ransacked" the design materials of the Yakovlev Design Bureau, especially the information on vertical take-off and landing, with a large amount of dollars. It caused a huge sensation at the top of the Russian government, but this matter is really too embarrassing, the Russian government not only kept it secret, but also issued a gag order, even if it is now the "US-Russia honeymoon period" in the eyes of the Russian government's top officials, this kind of thing is enough to make the Russian government embarrassed, Tupolev did not expect that Lin Hongfei even knew about this matter.

"A lot of people know the truth." Lin Hongfei spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips, with a look of disdain, "As far as your government has many loopholes and a sieve, how can this kind of thing be kept secret?" ”

This face pumped...... It's a "snap ......", Alexei. Tupolev's face was also a little ugly, as a Russian, especially the leader of the Russian aviation industry, he was also very annoyed by the emergence of this situation, "Then you should know that the money was confiscated by the central government." ”

To be precise, some people in the Russian government are greedy for these hundreds of millions of dollars, right? Lin Hongfei said in his heart, but it would be meaningless to say this, he thought about it, and couldn't think of anything that the Yakovlev Design Bureau could take out and sell for money, but after hesitating, Lin Hongfei still said, "In this way, then please tell the gentlemen of the Yakovlev Design Bureau, after a few days." ”

Tupolev also knew that Lin Hongfei had been really busy these days, so he nodded wordlessly...... Although he was very unaccustomed to the practice of the Yakovlev Design Bureau, since the death of Mr. Yakovlev in 89, the Yakovlev Design Bureau seemed to have lost its backbone, and even lost its basic integrity, but the more than 300 million US dollars that he had finally sold were snatched away by some people in the central government at once, and he also felt worthless for the Yakovlev Design Bureau in his heart.

"Can the state agree to let me go to the United States?" Hearing Lin Hongfei say his plan, let himself lead a team to the United States to participate in the deep modification of the Il-62, and became the deputy chief designer of the aircraft of the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in the United States Branch, Rao is the old man Ma Fengshan lived for more than 60 years, but he still couldn't help but grow up in surprise: He really couldn't believe that the country would agree to go to the United States to work for a long time?

Yes, the state's restrictions on the travel of people like Ma Fengshan, who have a significant influence on the country, are very strict, and it is not a matter of thinking about going abroad to work for a long time, even if it is an exchange activity organized by the government, when they are abroad, they will be strictly scrutinized by the "team leader" and "relevant staff" every day.

So when Lin Hongfei said that he Ma Fengshan would lead the team to participate in the in-depth modification of the Il-62, his first reaction was: This is impossible!

Some people will wonder since it is not possible to go to the United States. So why can you come to Russia? But that's the way it is, there is very little scrutiny when you come to Russia, but not when you go to the United States.

"In principle, there is no problem, but the specific method is still to be discussed," Lin Hongfei didn't say much, but he only said so much, Ma Fengshan understood how much effort Xiao Lin had put in for this, he didn't say anything, was silent for a while, looked up at Lin Hongfei and said. "Tell me, how do you plan to change this Il-62?"

This is the main point of Lin Hongfei's request for the old man Ma to come out in person, when Lin Hongfei explained that he was going to explain the modification requirements of the Il-62, the old man Rao is horse experienced countless ups and downs, and was also stunned by Lin Hongfei's thoughts. At the same time, he was deeply moved by Lin Hongfei's intentions, and his lips trembled. "Kobayashi. Do you know how important this opportunity is to our country......

"I know how to say," Lin Hongfei's smile was very bright, "In this process, we can master the design concept and structure of the 150-ton class of Il-62, especially in the process of modification." There are also a series of impacts to be taken into account for changes to some key parts...... Although I am a car designer, I can imagine the difficulty of designing. ”

"But old man. Let me tell you this, this modification is for you to practice, you can change how you want, how to change how suitable, it doesn't matter if the entire aerodynamic layout should be, the T-shaped high flat tail is changed to a conventional low flat tail, the lower wing is changed to the upper wing, the fuselage rear engine is changed to the wing lower engine, and the traditional steel is replaced by new materials...... In a word, don't be afraid to spend money, it doesn't matter if you want to blow the wind tunnel after changing the pneumatic layout, I'll help you coordinate. ”

"We can't solve the avionics equipment, aviation instruments, control system and power system for the time being, but the fuselage design and aerodynamic layout of the large aircraft must be done well. In addition to the 80 million, I also prepared 200 million for you, and in the next two or three years, I can spend almost 300 million dollars, and I estimate that it will be about the same. ”

"I can't use it, I can't use it, where is it used so much?"

Listening to Lin Hongfei say that he had prepared a total of almost 300 million yuan for his team to use on the modification of two Il-62, Mr. Ma was really shocked, and the top people were trembling: when he was lucky to do ten years, he only spent hundreds of millions of RMB before and after, even if the price has risen sharply in recent years, the money is not as valuable as before, but there is no inflation in the United States.

One thought of just modifying two aircraft...... Well, Kobayashi hopes that in the process of this modification, he will be able to master the design of the fuselage and aerodynamic layout of aircraft above 150 tons...... You don't need that much money, do you? He hesitated for a moment and said, "And we don't have a suitable engine either." ”

"I'll solve the problem with the engine." In the face of Old Man Ma's point-in-point words, Lin Hongfei only used such a simple but powerful sentence to explain, "Anyway, it's a commercial aircraft, we can buy an engine to use it first, and then let's take our time." ”

He looked at Ma Fengshan, looked at the most tragic "martyr" in the aviation industry of the Republic, and looked a little excited, "Old man, the car is also a system engineering, so-so, I am also a system engineering engineer who is a wild monk, I know very well how difficult it is to build our own large aircraft, I do not have the luxury, nor dare to think that overnight we will master the overall design of the large aircraft, aerodynamic layout, engineering mechanics, flight mechanics, structure, strength, reliability engineering to engine, A complete set of technologies including avionics systems and airborne computer technology. ”

"This time, as long as you and your team can master the overall design of the aircraft fuselage, aerodynamic layout, be able to solve the problem of structure and strength, and grasp the reliability, I will be satisfied, I have never dared to expect this aircraft to meet the requirements of some leadership requirements 'from the inside to the outside with all independent intellectual property rights', if it can take 5 years to solve the overall design, pneumatic layout, hydraulic control, structure and strength, reliability of these problems to solve, I am very happy, I never had the luxury of expecting myself to be able to eat a fat man in one bite, let's take our time step by step, from the fuselage to the engine, from the avionics system to the materials, from the final assembly of large aircraft to the docking technology of components, these things, let's come step by step, don't worry, take your time, it will always be solved. ”

"Okay, good, good," the old man Ma Fengshan nodded excitedly, his eyes were red, as the chief designer of the 10th year of the year, how could he not know that the goal proposed by the 10th of the year was actually a little too "Great Leap Forward"? Of course, it is undeniable that the idea of setting a big goal and letting everyone work hard for it is good, but if the goal is set too high and the steps are too big, it is easy to get to the egg......

Just like Lin Hongfei said, take your time, do it step by step, there is no more suitable than doing this, engage in industry, especially heavy industry, you must do this.

"Xiaolin, I know what you mean," At this moment, the old man Ma, who has been depressed since he got off the horse for 10, radiated amazing vitality, just like a person who has lost his life goal and rediscovered the goal he has worked hard for, he is like a young man, patting his chest and assuring Lin Hongfei, "Don't worry, this old man, I must eat the Il-62 thoroughly, don't you plan to change it into our company's special plane, then it must be the safest and best, With the technical support of the Americans, and the wind tunnel of our country, I promise to change this plane to you beautifully, old man, and ensure that your $80 million tuition fee will not be paid in vain. ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Lin Hongfei said, the two looked at each other, and at the same time, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed,

At the same time, another piece of good news also came, Cao Jun ran over at a trot with Lin Hongfei's mobile phone, and said to Lin Hongfei, "Boss, it was Mr. Acton who called." ”

Acton called? Is there a result? Hearing Cao Jun's words, Lin Hongfei suddenly became nervous: Acton's efforts, what will happen?

————————————————————————

PS: I'm going to celebrate my sister-in-law's 20th birthday today, so I can only watch three more, brothers, I'm really sorry.

In addition, I know that everyone is a little annoyed with the plane during this time, in fact, the brothers are annoyed to watch, and the millennium is more tired to write, because these materials are really troublesome to find, if you can, the millennium is not willing to some, how good is the car that is closer to everyone? It won't be as hard as it is now, when you have to flip through the materials every day for thousands of years, and the subscriptions have declined.

But what can't be done in reality, the millennium still hopes to YY in the book, the millennium hopes that the planes flying in the sky, the cars running on the ground, and the ships in the water have a strong "Chinese heart", aviation is the most troublesome, everyone should be able to see that this has actually been in the layout, very cumbersome, want to break through the Western technical blockade, this is very difficult, according to XX, you need to "play a big game of chess".

But even if it's such a cumbersome layout, it's already the simplest, and it can only appear in YY, in reality, such a layout, the feasibility of success is really low, and everyone may not like it very much, but the logic must always be reasonable, even if it's YY, everyone says right?

The millennium promised everyone that two or three days would pass at most, and even if there were, it would not be so concentrated in the future. (To be continued......)
