Chapter 578: The Peace Model Project Begins
"Now, I officially announce that the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force needs a new type of fighter to be deployed on the Sino-Soviet border to defend against the invasion of Soviet bombers and their airspace, so we in the United States will help China improve their Jian-8 fighters, providing them with 50 sets of airborne radar and fire control systems and 5 sets of backups, with a total value of $550 million. (peace pearl。 )”
At this time, the president of the United States appeared on the television screen, and he solemnly announced this plan to the whole world, and at this time, the representative team of the Americans who had just sent off was watching President Reagan's announcement in the conference room.
Americans like to name them casually by drawing numbers from computers, just like various nicknames of Soviet fighters, which are extracted from computers, such as MiG-21 fish nests, Su-27 flankers, etc., these names have nothing to do with fighters, but after continuous use by the media, they were quickly fixed.
This word, it is said that it was also extracted from the computer, and there is only one principle of extraction, that is, it is extracted from the initials of the PLA of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and as a result, this title came out, which was originally a fighter project, but was given the name of peace.
However, this is not the main thing, General Lin sat on a chair and said coldly: "The Americans are obviously uneasy and kind, they say this because they want to sow discord between us and the Soviets." ”
As far as the United States is concerned, the confrontation with the Soviet Union runs through the entire Cold War, and the Americans have always been confronting the Soviets, and they also hope to win over more allies, and they are also sparing no effort to win over China.
A few years ago, their large-scale arsenal plan was such a product, vainly trying to arm the Chinese People's Liberation Army with their weapons and rapidly upgrade the PLA's equipment to a world-class level.
The old chief angrily rejected this plan, which was clearly ill-intentioned, and the PLA only accepted the leadership of the party and the state, and would absolutely not be under the command of the Americans, and moreover, in this case, it would certainly irritate the Soviets, and when the Soviet Union continued to increase its troops in the Far East as the main battlefield, the pressure on the Western European side would be reduced.
And now, the other side is still taking advantage of such an opportunity to exaggerate the threat and instigate its relations with the Soviet Union, in fact, now the relations with the Soviet Union have eased, and even the Soviets have let their own side see the MiG-29 fighters.
The Americans, fearing that their relations with the Soviet Union would ease or even become friendly again, hastened to pass these projects, including this model of peace.
One after another, this project has been discussed for almost two years, and its own various selections have finally selected the airborne radar of the F-16 fighter as the object of modification, of course, there are some other systems, and this project needs to be decided by the President of the United States.
With the announcement of the other party, the whole project will also be officially launched!
"In any case, this will still promote the progress of our Air Force equipment."
At this time, Mr. Gu's face obviously had an excited expression, they have been committed to modifying the J-8 fighter, but unfortunately the domestic industrial base is too poor, and the lack of advanced fighters has led to their inability to further improve the combat capability of the J-8, and even its design goal is to intercept bombers, but due to the outdated development of supporting radars and missiles, they can still only use short-range combat missiles and cannons, which are ridiculed as doves of peace.
Now, the beautiful man in the air is finally about to be reborn!
"We will send capable personnel and teams as soon as possible." Mr. Gu said: "When this project is launched, we need to send two J-8s over and let them be modified immediately." ”
This project is what Mr. Gu is looking forward to the most, and it has been prepared for a long time, anyway, it is the first step of modification, so I will send two prototypes over first, and I will have to dismantle and make major changes, and then I can continue to produce fighters based on this improvement here.
Mr. Gu is very confident in this.
After speaking, he turned his head, glanced at Qin Feng, and said, "Comrade Qin Feng, are you interested in participating in our project?" ”
This time, but if you want to go abroad, everyone in the institute is enthusiastically signing up, and now, Gu always hopes that Qin Feng can come, after all, during the test flight, in addition to the American pilots coming to the plane, there must be people on your side.
"Anyway, Project 10 is still on the drawings." Mr. Gu added another sentence.
In the aviation system, sometimes for one thing, everyone will quarrel, these are normal, there will be competition will have development, if they are all harmonious, it is also a pool of stagnant water, and for Shenyang, the new point of Chengdu, is their most faceless thing, so everything wants to be compared with the No. 10 project.
When Qin Feng heard this, he felt even more unhappy in his heart, that's right, the No. 10 project has not made any new progress until now, mainly because of the problem of the engine, if this cannot be settled, there will be no progress, and the research and development of various subsystems is also very difficult, it takes time, however, he still wants to stay, and Qin Feng does not have much interest in this peace model project.
"Comrade Qin Feng, since Mr. Gu has been so kindly invited, you can also go and have a look." At this moment, Song Lao spoke: "After all, this is the first time we have really come into contact with modern electronic technology in the West, in addition to radar, 1553B data bus and the like, which are very inspiring to us, if I can, I want to rub Lao Gu's car and go out to have a look." ”
Song Lao is supportive, Qin Feng, as a test pilot, has participated in the research and development of Project 10 from the beginning, and the current project is still in the stage of drawings, Qin Feng has enough time, and it is good for him to go out and see more.
As for Qin Feng being dragged away by Mr. Gu, and from then on he followed the 601 Institute, but Song Lao was not worried about this situation, because he knew how much Qin Feng longed for Xinji, and he would not leave.
"Now, Lao Tu is also abroad, and he hasn't come back, they are all in Grumman, maybe they can meet again." At this time, General Lin also spoke.
The words of the two made Qin Feng moved, that's right, if you go out, you can take a look at these advanced technologies, and you can also see Tu Lao, I don't know how the progress of the J-7 CP is, and the facelift of the J-7's double delta wings?
Thinking of this, Qin Feng finally stopped hesitating: "Then I'll fly a Jian-8 over?" ”
