These children in Li Zhao's family don't care much about ten yuan, after all, when Li Zhao or Su Ya takes them out, they won't be stingy when they buy things for them, let's just say that their toys, which one didn't cost dozens of yuan? And there are many of them made for them by Li Zhao, which they can't even see.

The reason why only ten yuan was given was that the largest banknote at this time was ten yuan, and for children, it was a lot, but this time it was a bit of a pit for He Yuzhu, although Su's father also gave Lou Xiao'e New Year's money, but in the end, He Yuzhu still lost, after all, there are enough children here, if Li Xing and Wang Jun didn't let him give New Year's money, he would not only have to cook today, but also have to pay a monthly salary.

The lively New Year passed quickly, although Li Zhao said that he was resting these days, but he was also really busy, and he had to go to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, if he didn't drink these days, it is estimated that he would not be sober, in this case, he already missed the feeling of going to work. On the first day of work, I went to the factory for a simple meeting, and then asked each part to report first and then re-familiarize myself with the work, and after making an inventory, Li Zhao followed Su's father and others to find the leader.

Of course, it is still an appointment, otherwise you have to go to the leaders one by one, and after meeting and asking for a good New Year, everyone sat down and began to talk about things, and the things to be talked about today are very important, related to the follow-up research and development of the factory, but for the factory, this is also the last action in the near future.

After sitting down, the first thing to talk about is the matter of weapons experts, at this time Father Su said: "Leader, we have gone to work today, Li Zhao's aircraft drawings have almost been completed, and the next thing is the process of integrating the various systems together, now we only lack personnel for weapon systems, which is not what our factory is good at, which requires the superiors to help us find a way to contact the corresponding personnel, and we must do it as soon as possible."

After listening to Su's father's words, the leader of the military industrial system said, "Tell me about your needs in detail, and I'll see which part should be used to cooperate with you, but how sure are you that your plane will be completed?" It's too low."

At this time, Li Zhao said: "Leader, I dare not say that there are many more, but there is still a seventy or eighty percent certainty, that is, we have very high requirements for fighters, and we don't know to what extent we can do it, such as the radar system, our requirements are that the reconnaissance and guidance range is not less than 80 to 100 kilometers, and the weapon system requires that it has an over-the-horizon strike capability, that is, it can attack within a range of 100 kilometers under radar guidance, and at the same time, it also needs a certain ability to attack the ground and the sea."

Aircraft Li Zhao has a certain drawing for reference, although the engine has not been tested at high altitude, but it can be regarded as a reference, how big is the problem, can only rely on the slow trial, after all, it has reached this point, how to do it without taking a risk? If you put it in one or two decades and then fight, Li Zhao will definitely not be willing, even if the performance is worse at this time, it is stronger than the second-generation aircraft, after all, the second-generation aircraft does not have long-range strike capabilities.

As for the ground and sea attack capabilities, the main purpose is to supplement, the maneuverability and long-range strike capability of this fighter may not be very good, how can it be done if you don't find a relatively easy ability? What's more, the aircraft will have a very strong carrying capacity, after all, the bomb load of more than ten tons is really not to talk about it, you must know that as a bomber, the Tu 16 bomb load is only nine tons, of course, the Tu 16 range is relatively long, can reach five or six thousand kilometers.

After listening to Li Zhao's request, the leader also thought about it, and it seemed that he was thinking about where to transfer people appropriately, and Li Zhao also went on to say at this time: "If the leader wants to achieve over-the-horizon strike capability, he must use air-to-air, air-to-ground, air-sea missiles, so he mainly needs experts in this area, of course, the aircraft must also have the ability to hang on the aerial bomb, after all, the maximum bomb load is estimated to be ten tons, do you think you can transfer a little more people for us?"

After listening to Li Zhao's words, the leader of the military industrial system said: "You kid, this plane has not yet appeared, you have begun to dream, how do you know how many projects in the country are going on at the same time? All I can say is try to tune you up."

When Li Zhao heard this, he smiled and said: "Leader, with your words, I will rest assured, our plane is no problem, by the way, leader, now I am working on a low-profile version of the aircraft, ready to use a single engine, the maximum take-off weight does not exceed 20 tons, the bomb load can probably reach about 7 tons, and the maximum speed should not exceed Mach 2, of course, it also depends on the need, if necessary."

Yes, it should be possible to reach a speed of Mach 2.2 or less, but the life span is relatively short."

Then Li Zhao said that the single-engine version that is now being designed said, although this aircraft is not looked down on by Division Commander Zhang, but the leaders listened to it with their eyes lit up, yes, although this fighter sounds like it has been limited in a lot of performance, but if necessary, the restrictions can be lifted, and the cost of use can also be reduced in ordinary use, which is more economical.

At this time, the leader of the military industrial system asked, "How long will it take for this fighter to enter the test flight state?"

After listening to this, Li Zhao said: "It should be tested next year, and this one that is now ready for trial production will form a high and low match, after all, the performance of this model will be much worse than the double-engine version, especially the radar system, on the double-engine version, at least 300 kilograms of weight can be set aside to install radar, and we are ready to use a large number of chip technology to manufacture radar, so with a weight of 300 kilograms, it is estimated that the radar performance can be quite excellent."

"Although there are no specific results yet, I think more than 100 kilometers should still be OK, and the single-engine version, it is estimated that only 100 kilograms can be set aside to install radar, and it is very good to achieve a search distance of 70 or 80 kilometers, when these two aircraft meet, as long as the air-to-air missile is good enough, then the twin-engine version will crush the single-engine version, which is an insurmountable gap in a short time, and its future twin-engine version can also be loaded with more high-tech."

After a general explanation of the situation, the leader also understood this, and said that he would send someone to join the project as soon as possible, and the leader then asked: "There is one more important thing now, that is, the current funds of your factory, what are your plans?" At the end of last year, you already had more than 15 billion yuan in funds, and if it goes well this year, the scale of your funds is estimated to exceed 25 billion yuan.

Hearing this, Su's father said at this time: "Leader, if the superiors really need to use this money, we have no opinion, but now there are several situations that we need to give feedback, one is that we don't know when the export business will not be able to continue, in this case, our test funds will be cut off, and the second is that our products are actually not profitable except for export, and you know what the situation is when you come to several weapons."

Several weapons in the factory, although the profits are very considerable, but to be honest, the amount is really small, how can it be possible to make money under such production capacity? All the weapons together make less than 100 million a year, which is not enough for research funds.

Father Su then said: "The third is that our laboratory needs to continue to invest, just like alloy steel, although we are leading now, but only by continuing to lead can we have an advantage, just like the reason why we can make so much money from exports now is because others don't have it, once we don't make progress, then it is a matter of time before we are caught up, and finally it is proposed by Li Zhao, even if we don't make money, we must continue to invest in the research of several weapons."

"And we also require that we must launch an improved model in three to five years, to achieve small steps and fast running, although the equipment is less, but we must ensure that our equipment every few years, can be more advanced, especially aircraft, Li Zhaodu has begun to plan when to study the fourth generation aircraft, so we need funds will not decrease, only more and more, if the funds are handed over, I hope that the superiors can support our future research funds."

In fact, to put it bluntly, I want money, I handed over a large amount of money, I can't do research later, you don't support it, right? Of course, the leader understands what this means, but as soon as he heard it, he knew that the funds needed in the middle were an astronomical amount, and if he agreed, it would definitely be a big pit, and he could only drag it out first, so the leader said: "I know that your research consumption is high, so although the superior has an idea, hasn't it been implemented yet?"

Li Zhao saw that the leader said this, so he made his words clear, and said: "The funds we need are actually relatively fixed, although there are follow-up studies, but as long as there are no major problems with these improvements, they can basically recover a cost, so in terms of the current scale, about four billion dollars per year is about the same, and if it is less, it is estimated that it will affect our development, and if there is no steel export, it is basically equivalent to our profits."

"And if our steel export order is cancelled, if the superiors still only leave 20% of the profits for our research, then our current funds will not be handed over.

Then it will take five or six years at most, and then we still have to find a way for you to find a way, after all, all the products we sell in China have very low profits, just like alloy steel, there is no more than 1,000 per ton."

At this time, the leaders had already smiled bitterly, this money was obviously divided by various departments, even if it was 25 billion by the end of the year, it was estimated that 2 or 3 billion yuan of funds could be returned, which was equivalent to taking out 22 billion yuan, and then paying 4 billion more every year, good guys, this transaction is really not cost-effective.
