"Yes, of course, the improvement based on the Zhijiu will definitely not be used as a carrier-based early warning aircraft for aircraft carriers, but if it is based on the Eurocopter EH101 helicopter or the Soviet Mi-26 helicopter, or simply based on the EH101 and Mi-26, develop a heavy helicopter with a load of about 12 tons and a large cabin space?" Lin Hongfei asked with a smile, "The basic performance and cabin size of the EH101 helicopter and the Mi-26 helicopter are believed to be familiar to everyone, no need for me to say more, even if our electronic technology is backward than the Americans, and the weight of the whole set of equipment is larger, but the load capacity of 13 tons is enough to ensure that the aircraft can calmly get up from the aircraft carrier, right?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Hongfei's rhetorical question made everyone stunned.

But I only heard Lin Hongfei continue, "I have done a special investigation, although our country does not have a 12-ton heavy helicopter, but there is a great market demand for this helicopter with a load capacity...... The military alone has a demand for at least 120 aircraft, and it should not be a big problem to modify a few platform aircraft for our aircraft carrier to be used as aircraft carrier-based early warning aircraft, right? ”

"If the state establishes a project to develop a heavy helicopter with a load of 10 tons to 13 tons, we not only have the ability to manufacture heavy helicopters, but also have an aircraft carrier early warning aircraft platform, as long as a breakthrough is made in radar technology and electronic technology, our country will soon be able to have its own aircraft carrier carrier-based early warning aircraft," Speaking of this, Lin Hongfei turned to look at the Standing Committee members of the bureau and bowed deeply, "Therefore, I solemnly request to the leaders." I ask you to set up a project for this project, for our heavy helicopters. ”

But obviously, some people naturally disagree with Lin Hongfei's optimistic view. Gu Ruihe, chairman and party secretary of AVIC, who participated in the meeting, immediately said unceremoniously, "Comrade Xiaolin, logically speaking, what you said makes sense, but have you thought about it, don't talk about technology, Eurocopter is not even willing to sell EH101 to us at all; Although Russia will sell us Mi-26, it is impossible for them to sell the relevant technology, we can only buy the finished machine, if the Russians get stuck in our necks. At that time, our plane may lie on its stomach! ”

"Our country has no experience in making such a super-heavy helicopter at all, and such an aircraft is placed in front of you, even if you deserve it, can you change it? The most critical thing is that we simply do not have a turboshaft engine of such great power. The engine is the key to everything, if you don't have an engine. Everything is in the air. You don't understand such a simple truth? ”

He looked at Lin Hongfei with disdain, and four words were written on his face: whimsical!

Speaking of which, Gu Ruihe has one meaning: our technical level is limited, and it is not realistic to launch this project now...... It's better to talk to the Russians honestly, and prepare to buy KA-31 from the Russians, this is the deep meaning of Gu Ruihe's words.

"They don't sell tricks to us. Is there nothing we can do? Don't we want our own carrier-based AWACS? If they don't sell us their skills, we won't develop? According to Secretary Gu's meaning, back then, we engaged in nuclear submarines and two bombs and one satellite, also because someone sold us our technology? Forgive me, boy, I'm lonely. I really don't know which country is willing to sell this kind of technique to us, but I still want to ask Secretary Gu for advice. Lin Hongfei arched his hand, and fire broke out in his eyes.

He was angered by AVIC's attitude: Nima, you Gu Ruihe yourself encountered difficulties and became a shrinking turtle, now that Lao Tzu has a way to solve the problem, you still dare to fucking pull Lao Tzu's hind legs?

Lin Hongfei can understand that this is Gu Ruihe, this is to maintain the face of AVIC, think about it, the dignified AVIC can't solve the problem, if you let Lin Hongfei solve it, where will AVIC's face go at that time? What will the leaders of the central government think of AVIC and his Gu Ruihe?

Therefore, for the sake of AVIC, they must also do everything possible to stumble Lin Hongfei...... It's just that at this time, Gu Ruihe was really dizzy, and he made a solid trick: no matter whether you can do it or not, but in front of the leaders of the Central Committee, he generally expressed a confident attitude, if there are difficulties, there are difficulties to go up, and if there are no difficulties, create difficulties, you must go up! That's the right attitude to make a good impression on the leaders, isn't it?

This is indeed the case, and several leaders of the Standing Committee of the Bureau exchanged glances with each other, and they were all a little displeased: The country has raised these guys for nothing all these years? These guys from AVIC are too unreliable, right? On weekdays, grabbing meat and eating one by one is faster than a dog, but when the country has difficulties and needs them to come up, they hide faster than a dog!

"Of course we need carrier-based early warning aircraft, but the technique is not something that can be broken through casually, I want to know how you plan to get EH101 and Mi-26?" Gu Ruihe was probably about to let go of it, but he actually stood up to Lin Hongfei's words and said, "Oh, I forgot that Comrade Xiaolin, you have a Mi-26 helicopter in your hand...... How are you going to get an EH101 for reverse copying without being sued by the Europeans? Not to mention radar and control and command systems, this is not your task, Comrade Xiaolin, I just want to know that you plan to solve the three core problems of motivation, final reducer and flight control system? Well, also, since it is a carrier-based AWACS aircraft, where are you going to put the early warning radar when there are rotors on the top of the aircraft? ”

In this way, it is not four problems, but five problems, but it must be admitted that although Gu Ruihe's words are not very good, but the real truth, for the current republic, in fact, it is not difficult to create such a large fuselage, since we can manufacture the Yun-8, it is not too much of a problem to manufacture the fuselage of the Mi-26 or the sub-two-stage EH101, but in the technical technology of the helicopter, the fuselage design is the most untechnical content, the engine, the final reducer, The flight control system is the most technical, especially the engine, although it is the same turbine engine, but compared with the turbojet or turbofan engine used by the fighter, the turboshaft engine used in the helicopter is not only much harsher in the working environment, the requirements are much higher, you don't see that we can already manufacture a jet engine with a thrust of 4000 kilograms, but so far we can only manufacture a turboshaft engine with a maximum output of more than 700 kilowatts?

Experts who really understand the current state of the aviation industry base of the republic, although they do not say anything. But he nodded secretly in his heart: Comrade Kobayashi has confidence, but this confidence is ...... Well, it seems to be a little too much, a little more than the actual capacity of the country at the moment.

"I see...... May I ask Secretary Gu, in addition to these worries, what other questions do you have? Lin Hongfei suddenly smiled, he really couldn't figure out what Gu Ruihe was thinking about at this moment: learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds, and benefit others without self-interest? Do you not hesitate to pour dirty water on yourself in order to fulfill yourself? Apart from this, Lin Hongfei really couldn't think of what Gu Ruihe wanted to do for him.

Lin Hongfei's reaction made Gu Ruihe stunned: What did he mean by this? Could it be that he is really confident that he will come up with the Chinese's own heavy helicopter? How is this possible? Gu Ruihe was stunned for a moment. Then sneered!

AVIC has been engaged in it for so many years, but it has only assembled less than 20 Z-8 helicopters in a similar way of manual production, imitating the French "Super Wasp", and now the voice that the Republic can barely produce is the Z-9, what is the Z-9? It's just a light general-purpose multi-purpose helicopter with a maximum take-off weight of 4.1 tons and a load of 2 tons, and this is the latest Z-9A.

That's right. The state is ready to give Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. 20 years to build a prototype in 15 years. 20 years finalized. However, Gu Ruihe's understanding of the national industrial base of the Republic and high-end precision manufacturing, casting and forging is not a task that the Republic's aviation industry can complete at all, and its difficulty is no less than that of making us, which can only produce the Yun-8 with a maximum take-off weight of 61 tons, be able to produce the AN-124 with a maximum take-off weight of 405 tons within 20 years.

"No, these problems are what we are most worried about and we can't solve at all," Gu Ruihe didn't get to the point of being completely helpless. glanced at Lin Hongfei contemptuously, turned his head to the giants of the Standing Committee of the Bureau, and said, "Chiefs, it's not us AVIC who oppose it for the sake of opposition. However, Comrade Kobayashi's plan has gone beyond the limits of our country's aviation industry's technology, and it is impossible to succeed at all, and I do not think there is the slightest hope of success except for the cost of labor and money. ”

Is that really the case? Looking at the experts present, the expressions on their faces seemed to agree with Gu Ruihe's opinion, and they immediately frowned: Could it be that Lin Hongfei's plan really couldn't succeed? If that's the case, then ...... What a pity!

Almost unanimously, the giants of the Standing Committee of the Bureau looked at Lin Hongfei in unison, wanting to see what Lin Hongfei would say.

"It is said that the current level of technology in the country is not enough to manufacture a helicopter of this level, and that it is ...... to build a heavy helicopter and cost the people and money" Lin Hongfei smiled coldly: he did not hide the disdain in his eyes, "Secretary Gu, let me ask you, no matter how difficult it is to leapfrog this technique, is there a large span of technology when the Americans were engaged in the 'Apollo' plan?" No matter how hard the people hurt the money, is there an Apollo plan to work the people and hurt the money? But how much did the Apollo plan play a role in stimulating the economic and social development of the United States? These, I don't know if Secretary Gu knows Lu Dao? ”

Lin Hongfei's words, Gu Ruihe was speechless: Yes, that's right, it is very difficult for us to build a heavy helicopter with a maximum load of 10 to 13 tons, and it is even so big that it exceeds the limit of our country's aviation industry capacity! But no matter how surpassed, it is only from light helicopters to heavy helicopters, not beyond the scope of helicopters, no matter how large the span of its technology is, there is no large span of the "Apollo" plan, and the span of this technique is directly from the ground to the moon.

As for the role of the Apollo plan on the economy of the United States and even the world, it is even more talked about by the world, the Apollo plan cost 25.5 billion US dollars, this huge budget expenditure frightened many people, you must know that this is in the 60s, what kind of year is 25.5 billion US dollars in the 60s?

There is no doubt that this plan was opposed by many Americans at the time, who argued that such a large sum of money should be spent on more valuable things that would improve the living standards of the American people, rather than just to send one or two people to the moon.

However, the final results proved the greatness of the "Apollo" plan: This plan was not only one of the greatest scientific explorations in the history of mankind, but not only enabled the United States to regain the initiative in the space hegemony with the Soviet Union, but more importantly, it promoted technological progress in many fields, gave birth to a large number of high-tech industrial groups such as liquid-fuel rockets, microwave radar, radio guidance, synthetic materials, computers, and wireless communications, and greatly promoted the development of high and new technology in the United States. At present, a large part of the high-tech technologies such as information technology, biology, and new materials that the United States is ahead of the world come from the digestion, optimization, and secondary development of the "Apollo" engineering technology, and its impact is far-reaching and immeasurable.

It can even be said that almost all the technical fields in the United States today have benefited from the "Apollo" plan of those years, and this plan has not only brought about the demand and development of aerospace technology, satellite communications, mobile communications, materials science, computers, command and control technology, and so on, but has also enabled the United States to win control of the information age.

After holding back for a few minutes, Gu Ruihe, who was red-faced, finally held back a sentence, "Comrade Xiaolin, you are deliberately misinterpreting what I mean, yes, we can all see the role of the Apollo plan in promoting the economic, social, and scientific and technological development of the United States, and we can also see the overall role of heavy helicopters with a load of 10 to 13 tons in stimulating the domestic aviation industry, but can the current economic situation of our country be compared with the economic situation of the United States in the 60s?" It is impossible for the state to come up with such a sum of money for this project, the current state is mainly to focus on economic construction, and invest limited funds in the field of economic development, as for heavy helicopters, it is completely possible to wait for our country's economic conditions to improve! ”

After speaking, he glanced vaguely in a certain direction.

"I agree with this," one of the bureau standing committee members spoke, and all along, the bureau standing committee member who spoke was unswervingly "a faction for the limited development of the civilian economy," and at this moment he said unabashedly, "At present, our main task is to develop the economy and improve the people's living standards.
