When Chang Haonan and Ding Gaoheng arrived at the assembly hall on the first floor of the three gates, they were even more sure of their guess that they were on the road just now.

Because it was just a dozen eyes, he had already seen a lot of familiar faces.

Needless to say, Yang Fengyi, Yan Zhongzhong, and Zhong Shihong, who were deeply involved in the 83 Project, there are also some other comrades from the 112 Factory, the 601 Institute, and even the 611 Institute, as well as many figures wearing military uniforms.

Both the Navy and the Air Force.

After getting a little closer, it is not difficult to find that a total of 6 pilots who had participated in the 00 batch of pick-ups before were impressively listed.

In addition, Fu Guoxiang and a group of test pilots who have been deeply involved in the test flight of the prototype must also be indispensable.

To put it simply, representatives from all parties related to the 83 Project have been sent.

A huge banner with white letters on a red background hung above the rostrum at the entrance, and the text printed was to celebrate the official delivery of the J-8C aircraft to the troops, which is the semi-public statement, probably considering this kind of scene, after all, it is still necessary to take photos and issue press releases.

Perhaps because today's theme is to celebrate, the atmosphere in the whole venue is still relatively relaxed.

Even when Ding Gaoheng walked in, everyone didn't behave too restrained.

Of course, there must be basic etiquette.

"Director Ding."

Yang Fenghata and others, who were sitting not far from the door, got up one after another.

Then they took the opportunity to see Chang Haonan, who was following Ding Gaoheng and had just changed into a suit in the next room.

"Permanent workers? How do you ......"

Among them, the youngest Zhong Shihong still lacked concentration, and subconsciously blurted out in shock.

Chang Haonan's appearance here is of course something that everyone can think of, but the appearance of Ding Gaoheng with Ding Gaoheng really surprised many people.

You must know that these three gates are military powerhouses, even if you have a pass, it is absolutely impossible to enter and exit casually, and this time everyone is a special car pick-up, and the order and time of arrival have a detailed plan, basically there will be no two people who come separately at the door to encounter this situation by chance.

Even if there is, it will be staggered for a while when entering the door.

So there is only one possibility, that is, in the original arrangement, Chang Haonan followed Ding Gaoheng.

The director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense can be said to be the head of the entire national defense science, technology and industry, and almost all the people without military status in this venue today are Ding Gaoheng's subordinates.

And Chang Haonan seems to have a lot to do with the latter.

That's a big deal.

People who have been deeply involved in the 83 Project, especially Yan Zhongzhong and others who went to the 624 Institute to do turbojet 14 engine testing, more or less know that Chang Haonan used an aviation industry standard to help the Commission of Science and Technology to win the jurisdiction of the entire civil aviation industry, so it is expected that he has a close relationship with the system of the Commission of Science and Technology.

But it is one thing to have a close relationship with the Commission of Science and Technology, and it is another thing to have a close relationship with the director of the Commission of Science and Technology.

Besides, Ding Gaoheng has another layer of identity-

Although Nie Shuai himself died four years ago, his influence in the military industry has not faded.

Yang Fenghat, Yan Zhongzhong and the others were relatively calm, and they would not easily show their emotions, but they also looked at Chang Haonan with a bit of attention in their eyes that were different from the past......

"Why, Comrade Xiao Chang came to participate in this celebration, shouldn't it be very surprising?"

Ding Gaoheng used a slightly joking rhetorical question to bring Zhong Shihong's little gaffe over just now.

The latter's brain turned fast enough, and he hurriedly followed up with the words:

"Of course not, on the way to the capital, Mr. Yang also said that the celebration related to the 83 Project, Comrade Chang Haonan was not present, and we couldn't even move the chopsticks!"

praised several people without a trace, and also turned the direction of the topic to Chang Haonan's contribution to the 83 Project.

Yang Fenghata next to him also nodded, after all, he did say this:

"Yes, if it weren't for Comrade Xiao Chang's outstanding contributions to wing design and aerodynamic improvement, I'm afraid the 83 Project would have really dragged on for another year or two."

Because of the stiffness of his facial muscles due to injuries when he was young, Yan Zhongzhong, who could only maintain a serious face most of the time, also showed an extremely rare smile and joined the lineup of praise for Chang Haonan:

"To be honest, Xiao Chang's improvement of the turbojet 14 high-pressure compressor part, I, the chief designer, went back and looked at it over and over again, and I often saw it new, and I could realize something new every time."

Although what they said was true, in the face of this kind of scene, Chang Haonan had to be humble no matter what;

"Mr. Yan's words are too much, the turbojet 14 can change the performance of such a quasi-third-generation engine, and the optimization of the high-pressure compressor alone cannot be done, and the foundation of the combustion chamber and turbine does have potential to be tapped, in this regard, I am at most standing on the shoulders of giants."

The right way to be humble is not to say that your own work is not important, but to say that other people's work is also important.

This is especially true when the big leader is next to him.

"Okay, this is a good celebration, if you continue like this, it will become a technical seminar again."

Ding Gaoheng smiled and waved his hand, ending this touting session as a routine opening with a few words, and then said that he still had something to do and turned to leave.

In order not to make the conversation cold, of course, more importantly, and to satisfy his curiosity along the way, Chang Haonan took this opportunity to throw out questions about the real purpose of this celebration.

"You don't know?"

Yang Fenghata and several people on the opposite side glanced at each other:

"Last month, oh, to be precise, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Deputy Division Commander Zheng Liangqun led a two-plane formation to the west of Mount Ladakh and successfully intercepted and shot down a MiG-25 reconnaissance plane."

"It just so happens that Deputy Division Commander Zheng is also here today, and after the celebration is over, I can let him tell him the details of the battle."

Chang Haonan, who heard the news for the first time, instantly widened his eyes:

"Is there such a thing?"

No wonder there is such a big formation.

In the original timeline, the 102nd Squadron MiG-25 stationed at Parvatipur Air Base has always been a major problem for Huaxia in the southwest highlands.

Relying on the altitude and speed of its aircraft, the opponent repeatedly invaded and even crossed the airspace to carry out reconnaissance or simple provocative missions, and until those MiG-25s were retired due to disrepair, they were not intercepted by any effective means.

But now, with Chang Haonan's technical support, the situation has obviously changed.

The trisonic squadron, which still thought it could rely on high altitude and high speed to be invincible in the world, finally encountered an opponent who was enough to pick them off.

And the ace unit of the 1st Air Division is indeed long-faced, and it used two planes that the pilots are not yet fully familiar with to complete this shootdown, which can be described as a high-eyebrow shootdown.

For Chang Haonan, although as a scientific researcher, he can't personally go into battle to slash the enemy, but the aircraft he developed can participate in it, which is exciting enough.

I just want a sense of participation.

"Not only that, but you probably don't believe it."

Yang Fenghat, who is already full of gray hair, also danced when he talked about this topic, for him, the J-8C achieved results as if his child had achieved fame, and he was naturally quite happy:

"Because the timing of the interception chosen by our pilots was appropriate, when the MiG-25 was shot down, the speed and altitude had already decreased, so the pilots were still alive, and the wreckage of the plane was relatively intact."

"Plane wreckage ......"

Chang Haonan touched his chin:

"The wreckage of the MiG-25 is nothing, but if it can be recovered, it would be good to make a commemoration, after all, it is the first victory of our aviation unit in nearly 30 years."

Unexpectedly, Yang Fengwan shook his head and explained:

"Of course, the MiG-25 itself is not important, but there is a rather powerful electronic warfare and radar reconnaissance pod hanging under that plane, American cargo!"

Chang Haonan, who was a little unimpressed just now, came directly to the spirit:

"So that pod is ...... now"

Yang Bonghata showed a pure, happy smile that was somewhat inconsistent with his age:

"In our hands."
