Chen Jiaxiang assisted Hu Wenkai in managing the naval base, and he knew that the elder Pitt was developing a new type of aircraft, but he could never have imagined that the elder Pitt wanted the most important secret data of the navy. He is a man in his forties and has no youthful impulses to do things, so he asked Li Manqiang to go to the Tianfen Aircraft Factory with him to find Lao Pete to understand the situation in person.

I haven't been here in Tianfen for a while, and I found that the front gate of the aircraft factory is different, and four or five policemen patrol in front of the aircraft factory. The car was stopped by the police in front of the gate, and the police saw that it was Chen Jiaxiang and Li Manqiang saluted and said that they needed to report to the factory before they could go in, and apologized and said that this was the meaning of the above, and no one could be exempted from the procedures.

Chen Jiaxiang nodded and said that according to the rules, let the police call him and Li Manqiang to meet Lao Pete.

The two sat in the car and communicated, when the aircraft factory has become a heavily guarded place, it is estimated that this aircraft needs to be kept secret.

Old Pete came from a distance with his stomach puffed, and the police motioned for the doorman to open the iron gate and let the car in.

"I didn't deliberately set up the police in front of the gate, it was arranged by the boss, but there are anti-espionage personnel stationed in my factory. To tell you the truth, I am more secretive than a naval base. Old Pete said, standing by the car door.

Li Manqiang smiled, he knew a lot of heavily guarded places, but none of them showed it like old Pete. He knew that no one could enter Li Congshan's ammunition factory, and once when he went to look for Li Congshan, he accidentally walked near the ammunition factory and was immediately ordered to leave.

After he saw Li Congshan, he asked what kind of place this was, and Li Congshan said lightly that it was the scene of the militia exercise, how could he show it to old Pete like this.

Old Pete proudly took them on a tour of the design room, where hundreds of good guys sat in the hall, each with a drawing board in front of them, and next to the drawing board were lamps and books.

"This is the core design office of our aircraft factory, and all the aircraft parts are drawn by these young men one by one."

Old Pete took them through the design room to his office, now Old Pete's office is not as cluttered as he is in the United States, every day there are disciples to help him tidy up the office on time, and before going to work in the morning, the desk will make good Longjing tea on time, he likes Chinese Longjing tea, and abandons the coffee he has drunk for decades, which is the most Chinese than his broken Chinese.

"Old Pete, tell me, why the size and weight of the Navy*?" Chen Jiaxiang went straight to the point.

Old Petra opened a chair and sat down and began to talk about the new type of aircraft, from how Hu Wenkai paid attention to the benefits of a model with multiple uses, and said the truth. Li Manqiang knew that the new model of Longwangmiao was being tested, and thought that it was similar to the Sparrow plane, but he didn't expect that the old Pete would simply say that this aircraft was omnipotent.

Li Manqiang hurriedly said: "Old Pete, don't say it yet, let me ask you, will you violate the boss's confidentiality regulations by introducing the performance of the aircraft to us like this?" ”

Old Pete said disdainfully: "That's definitely not, you are illiterate about airplanes, and I just show you two the design drawings and want you two to understand." ”

Old Pete said this, although Li Manqiang and Chen Jiaxiang couldn't hold their faces, but their hearts were also relaxed.

Li Manqiang stood up with curiosity and said, "Don't talk about these useless things, take us to your workshop to see the aircraft under construction." ”

"Let's go, let's show you what a world-class aircraft factory is." Old Pete stood up and led them to the airplane building workshop far behind the office.

The four- or five-storey factory building, the ground is made of twilled steel plates and painted with green paint, and a semi-formed Mustang aircraft is in the center of the plant, surrounded by aluminum alloy skins in an orderly manner, and various materials are placed in a large area.

Four hand-pushed one-story pedestals leaned against the wings, and on each bench stood four or five workers with tools like pneumatic drills, working on the wings, as if drilling.

Old Pete said that this is riveting, a wing needs to be tied with thousands of rivets, workers are tied to the waist, safety ropes hang from the roof beams of the workshop and hang on the belt.

Old Pete took them to the bottom of the belly of the plane, pointed to the belly of the plane, and said, "Hang a torpedo here to attack the enemy's warship." ”

"Old Pete, don't we have bombers, that sparrow can fit a * attack warship." Li Manqiang can also be regarded as a half-hanger.

"You know what? The Sparrow is more than 200 kilometers per hour, and it has no ability to penetrate defenses at all, and the maximum speed of this aircraft can reach about 700 kilometers per hour. Old Pete gestured with his hand in a swooping position in the air.

"Do you know why the boss is open to selling sparrow planes?"

"Hehe, because after the birth of this plane, I can sell sparrows with peace of mind, if this plane meets the sparrow plane in the air, one will kill at least fifteen sparrows."

Anyway, Li Manqiang and Chen Jiaxiang heard it in a fog and didn't know whether it was old Pete bragging or his own short knowledge, and finally Chen Jiaxiang agreed to let the navy provide relevant data to assist old Pete.

Old Pete shook his hand and said, "You are wrong, I asked them to come and listen to my opinion on redesigning the torpedo for aircraft, and I believe they will be happy to do what I want." ”

"The last time I heard my boss say that the navy is developing acoustic self-guidance*, which uses a lot of electron tubes, and I was worried that throwing torpedoes from the air to the sea would cause damage to the tubes."

Chen Jiaxiang frowned and said, "Old Pete, how do you know the core secrets of the naval base?" ”

Old Pete looked at Chen Jiaxiang like an idiot and said, "How do I know? Of course it was the boss who said it. ”

"The boss said it was better to use a parachute to slowly enter the water, which is simple but complicated to do. There is also an aircraft carrier of more than 20,000 tons that they are building, and I need to go up and measure the size, otherwise I will not be asked for planes in the future. ”

Li Manqiang pointed at Old Pete and said, "If Old Pete didn't know that you are reliable, I would immediately find someone to arrest you, do you really know from the boss?" ”

"Nonsense, that is an aircraft carrier, mainly the word aviation, without a carrier-based aircraft, it is a floating ship that does not know how to deduct, what does the boss want it to do." Old Pete simply didn't have a common language with these two men.

Chen Jiaxiang walked out of the belly of the plane with his hands behind his waist and said, "I'll call Lu Dahai in a while, and the four of us will solve it slowly." ”

Lu Dahai quickly rushed over, Li Manqiang didn't expect that there would be no possibility for him to interject next, it was all terms he didn't understand.

Lu Dahai was full of praise for this aircraft, believing that the attack on warships suspended under the belly would achieve excellent results, and that it would be fast and capable of penetrating defenses, and he suggested that torpedo designers be sent over to cooperate with aircraft factories to solve the problem of throwing torpedoes in the air.

However, as for the idea of an aircraft carrier on this plane, Lu Dahai shook his head and said: "Old Pete, you have never been on a warship at all, you are painting the ground and sitting in a prison to watch the sky." ”

Old Pete's eyes were furious, and he couldn't tolerate criticism of him.

"Lu Dahai, why can't you, I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run?"

Lu Dahai said politely: "Old Pete, the first carrier-based aircraft should be simple, sturdy and easy to maintain, who should I ask to repair the problem of your aircraft using liquid-cooled engines during navigation?" ”

"And the air intake of this aircraft is under the abdominal cavity, can it withstand the saline water vapor corrosion on the sea surface?"

"Your cockpit is designed to land with no view of the aircraft carrier's flight deck. Can you solve these three? Even if it can be solved, there is a fatal problem. ”

Old Pete heard that these points were the difficulties in front of him, and knew that what Lu Dahai said was very pertinent, so he asked very humbly: "What is the fatal problem?" ”

Lu Dahai drew on the paper with a pen and said: "If the Sparrow and your plane compete for the ship, I would rather choose the Sparrow, because the Sparrow has good low-speed take-off performance, and your plane is very bad at low speed, and it is an excellent high-altitude and high-speed aircraft." ”

As soon as the expert made a move, he hit the nail on the head, and old Pete knew that this low-speed problem was an unsolvable problem, and he meditated for a while.

Lu Dahai looked at the battered old Pete and said: "The old Pi is very anxious, this aircraft carrier has only been built less than a third, the boss said that the first aircraft carrier is mainly used to understand the structure, the aircraft carrier can be used as a test product but the carrier-based aircraft cannot, let's work together to design a carrier-based aircraft." ”

Old Pete still sat there motionless and thought, not noticing what Lu Dahai said.

Lu Dahai had to say the proposal again loudly, and then old Pete came back to his senses.

"Lu Dahai, you are the person in charge of the naval base, how do you know so much about aircraft?"

"Old Pete, my main responsibility is to produce warships, and most of my time is studying aircraft carriers, I don't have any research on aircraft, how can I build aircraft carriers."

"I'm going to have time to visit your unfinished aircraft carrier, and you're right, you can't sit back and watch the sky. In this way, we will cooperate to solve the technology of throwing torpedoes in the air by aircraft. In the past six months, I will first give me the main task assigned to me by the boss, and after the completion of the main task, we will build carrier-based aircraft. Lao Pi said excitedly.

Chen Jiaxiang, who was on the side, hurriedly poured out the words that had been pressed in his stomach: "Old Pete, you have too many employees, there are hundreds of engineers and technicians, and this aircraft is too advanced to leak secrets, I suggest that you take the initiative to ask Lao Yi to come over to help you review, and your rectification movement should be deepened." ”

Lu Dahai also echoed and said: "Old Pete's matter really can't be delayed, our party has carried out a rectification campaign and has brought out a lot of people from hostile forces, and these people are lurking in our interior and can't be seen in ordinary times. You must not be sloppy in this key part, and the drawings are best to learn from our naval base and store them separately, even if you get a part, it will not have much effect. ”
