Of course, if there is a demand, there is indeed a point, for example, the Mirage 2000 can only be used on land, not deployed on aircraft carriers, and the aircraft carriers of the French also need new carrier-based aircraft, so it is expected that there will be an advanced third-generation aircraft in service on the aircraft carrier, however, just such a requirement, there is no need for new research and development.

The most important reason is that the French bet on this tone, the aircraft jointly developed by several European countries is not as advanced as the aircraft developed by Dassault alone, and we Dassault are the first in Europe!

In fact, if the funds for the research and development of Rafale are used for the research and development of the Mirage 4000, it can be found that France will be able to get an advanced fighter comparable to the F15 and Su-27 fighters. This kind of aircraft can be regarded as a double-engine version of the Mirage 2000, although two engines are used, but the fuel load is four times that of the original, so whether it is in terms of range, or bomb load and attack ability, there has been a high improvement, this fighter, that is also the old Dassault most wanted model.

However, this project has not been supported by the French Air Force, for the Air Force, there seems to be no urgent need to equip a twin-engine heavy aircraft, they also feel that it is too expensive, the medium aircraft can be done, and in terms of exports, this fighter has not been sold, so, for various reasons, the Mirage 4000 has disappeared, and the nondescript freak of Rafale has come out, of course, after this aircraft comes out, the performance has been improved compared to the Mirage 2000, but this is already Dassault's last masterpiece, When the United States began to develop stealth aircraft, Dassault did not keep up, and the whole of Europe could not follow up, so it could only be complacent by claiming that it was the 3.5th generation.

Now, speaking of this Rafale fighter, Qin Feng has a strange feeling, he always feels that this thing is unnecessary, its overlap is too high.

Look at the country, I plan to buy a heavy aircraft like the Su-27, and the J-10 project has been uneasy, for fear of being impacted, and then look at France, it is really wealthy.

"However, there is no doubt about the sophistication of French technology." Tu Lao sighed and said: "Among these engines, the technical level of M88 is the highest. For example, its turbine pre-temperature is as high as 1850 carats, which is difficult for us to match. ”

When he said this, Tu Lao sighed, everyone knows that the current engine technology in China is too backward, and when it comes into contact with the world's advanced level, it is even more aware of the backwardness of the country.

For example, in this engine, the domestic turbine front temperature, only more than 1,500, and the gap between people is more than 300, these 300, it is difficult to catch up, because this higher temperature, is required to achieve completely different materials, in the aviation industry, material science shows the charm, without qualified advanced materials, it is simply unable to withstand such a high temperature.

Many theories are that the M88 engine is copied from the F404, from the overall design, compressors, etc., are very similar, but, in terms of turbines, the temperature of the M88 is also higher than that of the F404, indicating that people have technology in this regard, if you say that the performance of this engine exceeds the F404, has reached the level of the F414 engine developed in the United States.

When developing advanced engines, all countries are trying to increase the turbine pre-temperature of the engine, but can not blindly increase, the domestic turbojet-7 engine turbine pre-temperature has increased by 50 degrees, as a result, all kinds of faults continue to appear, can not operate stably at all, even if the high-temperature resistant materials are not good, there are other constraints.

"In our country, how is the progress of the Turbojet-14?" Qin Feng asked again, when choosing, the turbojet-14 was also an alternative, after all, this is his own, and it is the most convenient to use, but, just like other projects, it is still very difficult to build an engine independently.

Sure enough, Tu Lao shook his head: "No, this engine, we have ruled it out." ”

For fighters sold abroad, reliability is the first, even if the price is slightly higher, it is necessary to use mature engines abroad.

Just as he was talking about Xingtou, Qin Feng saw a signal soldier from the base hurrying over: "Comrade Qin Feng, a telegram sent by General Lin, please go to the capital and attend a reception meeting together." ”

Reception meeting? Qin Feng's heart suddenly became hot, he had been paying attention to it for the past few months, and now, sure enough, there was news again!

"Go ahead, it seems, this time it's the last decision." Tu Lao said.

Go home and pack his luggage, Qin Feng simply went to the capital again, Xiaohutou was already accustomed to Qin Feng's departure, looking at Qin Feng's back, Xiaohutou asked his father to work hard very manly, and when he came back, it was enough to bring me a gift.

When Qin Feng came to the capital, sure enough, he went to the airport to greet the group of people from the Soviet Union.

The leader of the team was Belousov of the Soviet Union, who had met him when he was in the Soviet Union, and he was in charge of the export of these military equipment, and next to him was Shaposhnikov, as well as some senior officers of the Soviet Union, who looked particularly chic in a straight tweed coat.

"General, you're very welcome." In the airport, the two sides shook hands warmly, Qin Feng watched the generals walk by, and then looked around, Lao Yang was next to him, looking at these people with a smile.

One, two, three, nineteen! A person, if he drinks one catty, it is nineteen catties, this time, he must get these Soviets drunk and complete the task given to him by General Lin!

Lao Yang's heart is full of a lofty sense of mission, his thin body, wrapped in a military coat, is very delicate, it seems that a gust of wind can blow him down, he has a confident smile on his face, and he has a thousand cups of wine for his confidants, although he is not a confidant, and he doesn't understand their language, he has to drink a thousand cups!

Greeted at the airport, the group came to the hotel, this day's fatigue, of course, to a warm dinner to welcome.

In the banquet hall, there is a red carpet, it looks quite high-end, almost in time for the state banquet, Qin Feng is also the first time to walk into such a high-end venue, his heart is full of gratitude, General Lin is really interesting, such a major occasion, bring yourself.

"Smack, smack." As soon as he sat down, a veteran of the Soviet Union, the head of the Arbat Military District, spoke to the people present, in fluent Russian, and said: "If it is a wine that cannot be ordered, don't bring it up, it is not something that a man should drink." ”
