The super plant incident at the Black Technology Research Center subsided quickly and did not cause much of a stir, because the place where Eva was intercepted was a deserted grassland, so there were no witnesses. After removing these super plants, the grassland was bald, but fortunately, after the super plants died and decayed, a relatively good fertility was formed, and Qi Yiming hurriedly found someone to sow grass seeds here. It's spring at this time, and I believe it won't be long before there will be grassland vegetation here.

In February of '90, China's first Global Defense Equipment Exhibition opened in Tianjin. Qi Yiming is dedicated to making it a world-class defense exhibition, and at the same time, it is also to build a platform for Chinese weapons to better enter the market. The scale of the first Tianjin Defense Exhibition overshadowed any previous international defense exhibition in the world, with 20,000 square meters of exhibition hall alone, and the convention and exhibition center was also extremely exquisite, rich in the beauty of postmodern art.

In addition to more than 300 defense equipment companies in China, there are hundreds of peers from all over the world to participate, including the well-known Lockheed, Grumman, Northrop, Raytheon and other companies in the United States.

The first few days of the show are only open to professionals, and this is also the time when the main transactions are likely to take place, and the last few days are more open to the public for the general public.

Grumman's Pelehaq also represented the company to participate in this international defense exhibition this time, he originally wanted to sell face to China, after all, Grumman and China still maintained some cooperation before, but when he really came to the venue of the Tianjin International Defense Exhibition, he found that the scale of this defense exhibition, the complete project, the design of the professional unheard of, he decisively asked the company to increase the number of exhibitors and invest more energy, he felt that this biennial international defense exhibition is likely to become the world's largest international defense exhibition, Endless business opportunities.

Pellehaq met Small, also from the American arms giant, a head of Northrop. Although the two were opposed, the two executives still maintained basic etiquette to greet each other.

Small said, "The Chinese have hosted a great defense exhibition, and I think our company will become a regular visitor here in the future." ”

"That's right." "It's just that when the Tianjin defense exhibition becomes more famous, in order to prevent companies from other countries from competing fiercely with Chinese companies, they will definitely limit the number of foreign companies participating in the future." ”

Small smiled: "There's no need to worry too much, even if it is restricted, it can't be limited to big companies like Northrop, Grumman, and Lockheed." ”

"That's what you're talking about, haha." Although the rise of Chinese companies in the past two years has brought a little trouble to American arms dealers, their sense of crisis is not particularly strong, and they still believe that China can at most mix up in the markets of the third world countries.

Small flipped through the schedule and said, "At noon today, I said that there was a flight show and demonstration, do you want to go and take a look?" ”

Pellehak said: "What kind of plane, that lightweight Thunder dragon in China?" "Although China has sold a lot of aircraft over the years, but the most recognized is the FC-1 Thunder Dragon fighter, although this fighter is not China's strongest fighter, but because of the superiority of operation, affordability and combat all-roundability, it is recognized by industry insiders as the most competitive fighter in the world.

Several countries have purchased hundreds of Thunder fighters from China, and some are optimistic that although the Chinese military has no intention of adopting the Thunder, the final shipment of the FC-1 should exceed 1,000 units. Now there are still many countries in the third generation that are not very good at the economy, and they cannot afford to buy newer fighters, but in ten years, there will inevitably be more countries that want to obtain the main fighters of the third generation, so China's Thunder Dragon is undoubtedly a very good choice.

Asian countries such as Myanmar and Sri Lanka, South American countries such as Venezuela and Colombia, and even some richer African countries have the potential to buy the Thunder Dragon as a low-cost fighter.

Small shook his head and said: "I didn't say which Chinese fighter will participate in the performance, but I think that since it is the host, all of China's fighters will be unveiled, including a few that they do not export." ”、

China's fighter jet exports have always made many people in the industry scratch their heads, as a heavy aircraft FC-9 Shadow Leopard can be sold, but China's own medium-sized aircraft J-10 Raptors are not sold, and the export of a lighter Thunder Dragon. The general speculation is that China itself believes that the performance of the medium-sized fighter Raptor, which they designed, is too good, so that for its own safety, the J-10 should not enter the arms export market, so that other countries can understand the secrets of the J-10.

Pelehaq added: "There are really a lot of fighters that have been arranged to fly and display this time, in addition to Chinese fighters, there are even Soviet MiG-29s, and the French also brought their Mirage-4000, which itself has quite a lot of parts and components made from China." It is also rumored that Saddam Hussein is approaching the French to buy the fighter. ”

Small shook his head and said: "Saddam Hussein has been fighting unexplained bad debts with Iran for eight years, and his originally solid family foundation has almost been defeated, and if he wants to increase investment in armaments, I am afraid that he will need to distribute more oil field interests to other countries." ”

Small looked at Pelehack again and smiled, "Your company's Tomcat will also show this time, won't it?" ”

Pelehaq nodded, quite self-contained, and said: "That's right, the pilot of the Chinese Naval Aviation will fly an F-14CN fighter for a flight show, and our company will also carry out certain publicity activities to respond." ”

He immediately regretted again: "After all, the unit cost of F-14 is too high, and it is also a carrier-based aircraft, generally countries with aircraft carriers have the ability to manufacture their own carrier-based aircraft, so the market for F-14 has been difficult to develop, it has to face competition from F-15, France's Mirage-2000, the Soviet Union's Su-27 and even China's FC-9, although I still firmly believe that F-14 is the strongest of all these heavy fighters, but I am still not optimistic about F-14's future sales." ”

Small understands that Pelehaq is not modest, the Chinese and American navies are the only two users of the F-14, and the total purchase volume is almost more than 1,000 aircraft, maybe China will continue to manufacture F-14CN fighters in the future, but they have already obtained a production license from Grumman, and they have basically completed the localization project.

The two men wandered to the venue of the Aviation Defense Exhibition, a newly built airport facility that had been built for a few years, running to a length of 2,200 meters and parallel twin runways, which Pellehak guessed was a Chinese military airfield. There aren't many hangars or anything like that, only a few buildings such as towers are built in isolation. Pelehaq pondered that it was most likely that the Chinese built underground hangars to increase wartime survivability.

The two of them came late, and there were already planes performing in the sky, so Small checked the schedule and said, "This is China's Bayi Air Show Team, which is performing its opening performance." ”

Pelehaq nodded, looking out at the warplanes dancing in the sky, painted in dark blue show livery and with red painted wings on the wings, which looked like a mighty eagle. At present, there are only three third-generation fighters in the world that use third-generation fighters for air displays: the American Thunderbird, the Soviet Swift, and the Chinese Bayi.

The six raptors in the sky flew in a triangular formation, and at the same time carried out a series of maneuvers such as climbing and big turns, and the formation was not chaotic, until the six fighters flew into the clouds, and the six fighters rolled down in different directions. The smoke puller puffs out colorful smoke, which is very beautiful in the sky.

These are relatively basic air show moves, and then more thrilling actions such as two-plane counter-flight are also staged in front of the audience. Pelehack said: "This performance team has worked hard, and it should be regarded as one of the best air show teams in the world." ”

On the other plane, the Bayi Air Show Team has been limited by many factors and has always been well-known in the world, and Qi Yiming is committed to building the Bayi Show Team here into a well-known air show team in the world. They use the best equipment to perform a variety of complex and difficult maneuvers, with the highest accuracy rate, and they are able to get more assists and training hours to excel.

The above things that everyone is used to can be said to make everyone look at the Bayi performance team with admiration, but they will never be too popular, and it is not until the following performance that the audience is dumbfounded.

A J-10 that was about to fly low and through the field flew directly to the runway only 20 meters from the ground, and then he made a move that no one expected, and the fuselage turned over and turned the belly up.

"Oh my God, this is suicide!" Small exclaimed, those of them who know how to do it, know that the low-altitude chaotic airflow and narrow activity space are the most likely to cause these fighters to have accidents, and this Chinese pilot actually dares to turn over at an ultra-low altitude, and it is no longer amazing to do a low-altitude passage here, it is frightening.

After traveling more than 1,000 meters at a low altitude, I saw the J-10 canard wings swinging, so it pulled up backwards, and the plane flew directly in a semicircular arc in the air, completing the cockpit maneuvering upwards again.

When this almost suicidal stunt was completed, the audience cheered, delighted to have witnessed this incredible scene.
