Factory 132 has been able to mix well in the tide of reform over the years, and that is also because Factory 132 has a big bull man, Tu Lao.

Tu Lao in the design room of the factory, with a small number of technicians, gnawed down one by one, first put the Marconi company's avionics into it, became the Jian-7 M, and since then has opened up the market, and now, it is to raise funds by himself, and work with foreign countries to carry out the Super Seven project, even after the withdrawal of Pakistan, he still has to be determined to get out, but like the 132 factory, after all, it is too little.

We have seen the development of the 132 factory, therefore, many domestic enterprises, are also according to the gourd to draw the scoop, although the country is engaged in the separation of the factory, but in their own factory, and a separate design room, but the success rate is not high, neither can be efficient cooperation, but also not enough to form a peer benign technical competition, long-term into the internal friction and waste of research and development forces.

Even if it is the 132 factory, there is such a situation, they want to get the super seven out, but because the scientific research strength in the factory is too weak, they must not be able to do a good job, if they want to do it, they can only cooperate with Grumman, if the 132 factory has the scientific research strength of 611, they can definitely do it alone.

The state has also discovered this situation, so now, with the promotion of the research and development of the J-10, the country has also begun to decide to make an attempt to first merge the 611 and 132 factories within the aviation system.

There are great benefits to such a merger.

First of all, it is the problem of super seven, now, the Pakistani side has withdrawn its investment, and it has become a joint project of the 132 factory and Grumman, in this project, Grumman's technology is obviously very powerful, but at the same time, it will also underestimate the 132 factory, in this case, if the strength of the 611 Institute is increased, it is obvious that the project can be better carried out.

At the same time, on the other hand, it will also promote the research and development of J-10, you know, the current 611 Institute is steadily developing J-10 fighters, and this fighter has a big problem, that is, the lack of funds, now, the 132 factory has been profitable, has become the envy of the entire aviation industry, naturally there should be a part of the funds, used on J-10.

This is good for both parties, Qin Feng is also very happy when he hears this news, in this way, many drawbacks have been eliminated, which can promote the research and development of projects, and it can even be said that because of this merger, these projects will be greatly promoted.

However, when the joy had just passed, Qin Feng thought of a very important question: "So, who of them will be the main leader?" ”

That's a big problem!

Who's in charge? Is it Tu Lao and Song Lao? The private relationship between the two is very good, although the two had an opinion because of the mapping and imitation of the MiG-21MF, but on the whole, the cooperation is still very good, it is precisely because of the good cooperation between the two that it has become a plus in the consideration of the decision of the new annihilation point in Chengdu by the superiors.

Moreover, Qin Feng also knows the history, in those days, Factory 132 always wanted to merge with 611.

It was in the seventies, at that time, J-9 was transferred from a key project to a subject research, and it was almost abandoned, and at that time, the 132 factory was a relatively good unit because of the production of J-7, and Tu Lao at that time had a very far-sighted idea to engage in a "super J-7" fighter.

Listening to this name, it seems to be very similar to the current Super Seven, in fact, it is also like this, in May 1975, Tu Lao at the meeting of the 132 factory, he put forward a plan for the future: the use of single-engine Spey engine, air intake on both sides, with the ability to intercept, it can be said that this is completely aimed at the needs of the Air Force, at the same time, or do it yourself, it has been done, and everyone is happy.

However, the scientific research strength of the 132 factory is definitely not enough, and it must be piggybacked on the 611 Institute, and in March of that year, the Third Machinery Department issued an administrative order to let the 611 Institute be combined with the 132 factory and accept the leadership of the 132 factory.

At that time, Song Lao did not agree, for Song Lao, he was still concentrating on Jianjiu, he had a soft spot for the duck layout, and in this case, the first merger finally failed.

And now, it's the second time, who will be in charge?

"The main purpose of this merger is to destroy ten." General Lin said.

As long as he said this, Qin Feng would be able to understand that in this relationship, the 611 Institute would definitely dominate.

Jian-10 is now a key national project, this project is not only to make a new fighter, but also to achieve a comprehensive transformation and evolution of the fighter design and manufacturing system through the introduction of a large number of Westernized technical means standards and management systems.

It is precisely for this purpose that the superiors decided to break the barrier between design and manufacturing, abandon many of the stubborn diseases, and effectively and reliably improve the overall efficiency of research and development.

Under this idea, the second round of mergers that led it, since it was for the research and development of the Jian-10 project, it was definitely not the 132 factory as the focus, and since the 611 Institute undertook the main research and development task, it must be the 611 Institute to lead.

Of course, Song Lao can't completely interfere with all the projects, in Super Seven, it is still led by Tu Lao, and this project is still to be realized with the help of Tu Lao's hands, and even will promote the research and development of the No. 10 project.

Of course, due to the strong scientific research force of the 611 Institute, Super Seven will inevitably intervene in the process of research and development, and even some mainstream advanced technologies, for example, look at the development of later generations, the early prototype of the Thunder Dragon, and the later prototype, it is completely different, not only the most conspicuous DSI bulging air inlet above, but also a little bit that many people can't find, the solution provided by Grumman is a small edge strip with sawtooth, this edge strip design is easy and the risk is small, but it does not achieve the goal of optimization, With the efforts of 611, it is replaced with a pointed arch type large edge strip with higher performance, the effect of this large edge strip is better, but the difficulty and risk of flight control have increased sharply, if it is still carried out by the 132 factory itself, it can only be the standard of the Xiaolong 01 machine at most, and even the level of the J-7 CP, it is impossible to reach a higher level.

Back then, the design room of Factory 132 still played its own role, and the later J-7 MF and the like were all developed by themselves.

Now, after hearing General Lin's introduction, Qin Feng nodded: "Yes, Song Lao is also a person who is determined to reform, and the competition plan he proposed, although it has offended many people, is the most beneficial for the model." ”
