Chapter 1734: Oversized Bait
"Robbie, you think you should look over there......" Stone. Seifer slowly paced up to a senior engineer named Robbie at Boeing and whispered, "Something seems to be over there." ”
"Huh?" Robbie was stunned for a moment, nodded imperceptibly, and with the convenience of visiting. Seifer came to Stone just now. Next to the thing that Seifer saw.
"That thing ......" along Stone. As Seifer pointed out, Robbie's gaze fell on a "thing" in the room next door that was curtained and not on the itinerary, and a faint corner was exposed, and the next moment, Robbie's eyes suddenly widened, and he resisted the urge to cover his mouth: God, what did I see?
"Isn't it?" Stone. Seifer's eyes conveyed this to Robbie.
Pursing his lips, Robbie nodded: That's right, it can be determined, that is one of the killer features of the United States: the physical model of the B-2 stealth strategic bomber, which is known as "never to be discovered and never shot down", although only half of the nose can be seen, and the rest are either blocked by curtains or covered with a layer of cloth, but it doesn't matter, if the B-2 bomber has a unique shape of the aircraft, the entire world will never find a second one, and there is absolutely no possibility of admitting mistakes.
But in this way, a new trouble has arisen, the B-2 bomber is the top secret of the United States, how can the Chinese have a model of the B-2 here? If it appears in the collection room of a military enthusiast, everyone will only laugh it off, and it will be regarded as the treasure of a military enthusiast, but it will appear in the aero engine R&D laboratory of AVIC Second Group...... Do you believe that this thing is a model?
Yes, Robbie is Northrop. Grumman's guys, although his pass says Boeing Senior Pneumatic Engineer.
The team of Boeing and his delegation to visit AVIC No. 2 Group was not so "pure", except for some Boeing people, there were MacDonald. Douglas's people. There's Northrop. The people from Grumman, the people from General Dynamics, the people from Lockheed. The people of the Martin company, there are Pratt. The people from Whitney, the people from Raytheon...... Even NASA people in the United States, not to mention that these people, in addition to their own jobs, may still have a job and a salary on the side of the CIA, and the whole thing is a super "hodgepodge".
Of course, the Chinese side is not only aware of this situation, but even acquiesces in it. Because this is a disguised mechanism for intelligence exchange and mutual trust in military equipment, China's permission for Boeing to visit AVIC No. 2 Group to ignite the core aircraft this time is itself implicitly acquiescing to the US side to collect intelligence.
"What then?" Stone. Seifer's eyes conveyed this meaning again.
Robbie hesitated, turned around and came to Lin Hongfei, pointed to the Anger room on the other side of the corridor and said. "Mr. Lin, can we go to that research room and have a look?"
Lin Hongfei's face changed. But in the blink of an eye, it was adjusted. "Oh, I'm sorry, it's not a research lab, it's just a utility room." ”
"Utility room?" The expression on Robbie's face was ugly as if crying: this bastard clearly doesn't want to let himself know...... Lin Hongfei's fleeting expression change did not hide from Robbie and Stone. Seifer. Robbie and Stone, who were still a little skeptical of their previous judgments. The two of them are now sixty percent sure of what is in the so-called "utility room".
Don't say sixty percent, even if it's only two percent...... Oh no. It's one percent, and it's enough for the U.S. government and the CIA to take risks.
"Well, that's right." Boss Lin nodded without blushing and without a heartbeat, "What is in it is some sundries that you can't use on weekdays, what's the matter?" Mr. Robbie interested in the utility room? ”
The utility room must be used to put sundries.
"Utility room?" Robbie looked at Lin Hongfei with a meaningful expression, "Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, I personally like some unexpected surprises, so ...... Since it's a utility room that doesn't involve secrets, let's take a look, okay? ”
At this time, Robbie can control this is Lin Hongfei's prevarication? directly told Lin Hongfei that he was very interested in the things in the utility room, and said that he would go to the "utility room" to see what else was in the "utility room" today.
"This ......" Lin Hongfei's face changed, and then he forced a smile, "It's messy and dirty inside, there's no need, right?" ”
"What's going on?" Haven't waited for Robbie and Stone. As Sever spoke, the curious voice of a Chinese cabinet official at the department and bureau level who accompanied him sounded, and this official surnamed Ma was one of the main officials who accompanied the US side this time, and it is said that he was deeply valued by the cabinet leaders and had a great future. What are Mr. Seifer and Mr. Robbie talking about? ”
"Nothing, Mr. Robbie and Mr. Seifer want to visit our company's model airplane room, uh......"
As soon as the words came out, Lin Hongfei's face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot, and he suddenly fell silent.
What about the "utility room" just now, and now it has become a "model airplane room"? Robbie sneered in his heart, and he was almost sixty percent sure in his heart that the things in this room must be damn Chinese something stolen from the United States...... As soon as he thought that the information of his company's B-2 implicit strategic bomber had been stolen by Lin Hongfei, a bastard, Robbie gritted his teeth with hatred.
In addition to hate, there is a deep fear, the damned Chinese stealing from the United States is hateful, but this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to find out how the Chinese infiltrated Northrop . Grumman, this bastard who has access to information about the B-2 bomber, and if he doesn't dig up this damn bastard, Robbie feels like he can't sleep for a day.
This is simply terrible, since the damned Chinese can even get the information of the B-2 hidden strategic bomber, which the United States regards as a killer weapon, can they get the information of the "Minuteman-3" ICBM? Can they get information on the "Los Angeles" class nuclear-powered attack submarines? Even further, is the information on the "Ohio"-class ICBM nuclear submarine, which is regarded by the United States as the most reliable guarantee, also insured?
Before, the Americans thought that these materials were very safe, but now, they have seen the model of the B-2 implicit strategic bomber in front of their eyes "with their own eyes". All Americans can't be calm.
"Mr. Ma, we want to go to this model room to have a look, and the things in it should not involve your company's confidential information, right?" Stone. Severdau.
"yes, it's just some models, and it shouldn't involve anything confidential, right?" Robbie also beat the side drum next to him, "Mr. Ma, our Northrop. Grumman came with great sincerity, and this visit is also a good beginning of the exchange of visits between the two sides and the establishment of an exchange mechanism between the two sides......"
He glanced at Mr. Ma meaningfully, although the following words were not said, but the meaning was already obvious: even the model room is not open to us. How do you make us believe in your sincerity?
Before coming to the Republic, the relevant departments of the U.S. government, as well as think tanks and intelligence departments, gave special training to these experts with special missions, and gave clear solutions to the ways to deal with different personnel on the side of the Republic in various situations, and clearly pointed out that the government officials of the Republic were the most easily attacked. The scientific researchers of the republic are the best experts on the planet, but these officials have no sense of secrecy at all. And has a strong inferiority complex. As long as you are polite to them with a threat, it is easiest to get a breakthrough from them.
Sure enough, Robbie and Stone. As soon as Sever's words came out, the face of the official surnamed Ma suddenly changed, and he turned his head to Lin Hongfei and said, "Mr. Lin." Are they really just some model airplanes? ”
"That's right." After hesitating, Lin Hongfei said.
"Since it's a model airplane, let's show it to our American friends," Master Ma waved his hand, "and there aren't many secrets about this thing." ”
"This ......" Lin Hongfei couldn't help but smile bitterly. A face was full of helplessness, but he had to explain, "Although the things we met were just some models, they were ......"
"No," Director Ma was already a little impatient, "could it be that our skills are more advanced than those of the Americans?" Some models are just some of them, and they don't involve any confidential issues, well, if you have any questions, you can also take this rare opportunity to ask American experts, and we can discuss them together! ”
Stone. Seifer and Robbie were so excited that they couldn't wait to hug this Director Ma and kiss them fiercely: this guy is so understanding! They wish that Lin Hongfei would take out the problems they have not solved to "discuss together", as long as they look at the difficulty of the problems that AVIC Group 2 needs to solve, they can deduce their actual level in aviation manufacturing, the more difficult the problem needs to be discussed, the better, the more difficult the problem can be closer to the actual ability of AVIC Group 2, which is very important for Boeing to analyze the strength and potential of AVIC Group. Stone. Seifer immediately hit the snake with the stick and said, "That's right, Lin, you can ask us if you have any difficult problems to solve." ”
"It's too polite, it's too polite, how can this be embarrassing......" Director Ma's chubby fat face suddenly burst into laughter.
"This ......" Lin Hongfei looked embarrassed, and even more hesitant, and couldn't help but look at the leaders of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense who came with him.
"Since it's just some aircraft carriers, it doesn't matter." The comrades of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense gave this matter a sentence to the end.
Faced with this situation, what else can Lin Hongfei say?
………………………………
"God!"
As soon as they pushed open the door and saw the contents inside, a group of Yankees suddenly exclaimed as if they had never seen the world!
To tell the truth, the space in the room is not small, about 300 square meters, and there are about 10 large-scale "model airplanes" in it...... If these things can also be called model airplanes.
The first thing that caught the eyes of a group of Yankees was an exaggerated model of the fuselage and wings, although the model was covered with a piece of cloth, but this did not prevent a group of experts from estimating the approximate size of the aircraft: the length of the fuselage is only 2.5 to 3 meters, but the wingspan is an astonishing 7 meters!
The size ratio of this fuselage and wing is infinitely close to that of a glider, and it can even be said that this is a glider at all, if the difference with a glider is that the glider in the ordinary sense descends at a rate of about 1 meter to 2 meters per second, but the descent speed of this aircraft is estimated to be 3 meters per second, but even so. It's also terrifying, if this is a military aircraft, it means that the huge wings of this aircraft can provide huge lift, and flying at an altitude of 18,000 meters should not be a problem, even if the engine is turned off, it can fly hundreds or even thousands of kilometers just by gliding...... Realizing this, the experts of Lao Mei suddenly broke out in white sweat!
At the rear of the fuselage, there is a V-shaped vertical tail with an camber angle of about 45 degrees, and the strange thing is that there is no flat tail, obviously. This strangely shaped V-shaped vertical tail not only plays the role of a vertical tail, but also plays the role of a flat tail.
"It can't be! It's absolutely impossible! Seeing this strangely shaped model, Robbie was stunned for a moment, and the next second, he screamed. provoked everyone to focus their eyes on him.
"Robbie, what's wrong?" Stone. Seifer hurriedly asked.
"You should know about the 'high-altitude persistence concept technology verification' that our company is carrying out, right?" Robbie's face was extremely bitter.
"Of course, I know it." Stone. Seifer nodded hurriedly. The next moment. Stone. Seifer's face also changed, and he said in a trembling voice, "Is it ......?"
Glancing at the "model airplane" with a typical flying wing structure and a covered cloth that was identical to the B-2 implicit strategic bomber, Robbie nodded, his face as ugly as if he had died of his own mother.
"God, how is this possible?" Stone. One of Sever's mouths immediately opened in an "O" shape.
"High-altitude persistence concept technology verification" was commissioned by the United States & Military Northrop. A high-altitude reconnaissance and attack project carried out by Grumman based on the conditions of high-tech technology in the next century. The entire plan is divided into two parts, the "Global Hawk" and the "Dark Star", the "Dark Star" and the "Global Hawk" two models, all of which are UAVs, and the "Global Hawk" is responsible for reconnaissance. The "Dark Star" is responsible for the attack, and the coordination between the "Dark Star" and the "Global Hawk" is somewhat like the role of a sniper and an observer, with the "Global Hawk" observer providing the specific information of the target, and the "Dark Star" sniper killing with one hit.
Of course, according to the habits of the US military aviation system, since this "high-altitude persistence concept technology verification" plan has been formally established, Northrop . Grumman must have completed the initial concept of the Global Hawk and Dark Star UAVs and the initial conceptual design of the fuselage structure of the UAV.
Although Stone. For example, according to the requirements of the United States & the military, the Global Hawk must have the ability to fly for a long time above 19,000 meters, with a self-sustaining force of no less than 40 hours and a flight range of at least 24,000 kilometers.
In order to allow the "Global Hawk" UAV to obtain the maximum range and high-altitude flight capability, Northrop. Grumman borrowed the concept of gliders from the Global Hawk, adopting a glider-like design with an extra-large wing aspect ratio, and the immediate ......
As unlikely, this is ridiculous, but Stone. Seifer knows another layer of Robbie's identity: Robbie is Northrop. As one of the senior engineers involved in the "High-altitude Persistence Concept Technology Verification" project, could he be wrong?
"If my eyes are not wrong, I should not be wrong, this should be a 1:5 model." Lowered his voice, Robbie to Stone. Seifer said, after a pause, he said, "As for this model aircraft with an obvious flying wing structure...... Damn, this is obviously a research-grade scale model...... There is no doubt that it is 'ghostly'. ”
"God!"
Stone. Seifer felt that he was almost dying: how could he have found so many things just to visit the first ignition of the core engine of the Russian-made D-30KU small bypass ratio turbofan engine imitated by the Second Group of AVIC, which was completely ignored by the United States, and which was long eliminated by the United States.
But in shock, Stone. Seifer was more angry in his heart: Are all those bastards in the country dead? The secret of the B-2 implicit strategic bomber cannot be kept, nor can the secret of the "high-altitude persistence concept technical verification" plan that has just begun. Could it be that the phrase "who in the world doesn't know G" is true?
He also finally understood why Lin Hongfei was reluctant to let himself and others come to this "model airplane room", Nima, where is this a "model airplane room", this is clearly a den for a thief to store the "stolen goods" he stolen!
The American experts who came were basically all experts in the field of military aviation. Grumman's just-started "High-altitude Persistence Concept Technique Verification" plan is also known to be written, and at this moment, seeing these things, everyone has the urge to burst into tears.
But at this time, Director Ma's dissatisfied voice sounded, "What are these things?" All of them look weird and can fly? (To be continued......)
