Just when Chang Haonan completed the afterburner test of the turbofan 10 and was about to go back to rest after sorting out the data.

Ho Kyung, 112 Factory.

A convoy of three inconspicuous jeeps swayed in from the main entrance, and then sped all the way on the winding internal road, and finally stopped at the gate of the 70# factory -

Although Beiling Airport is in the 112 factory, theoretically not too big planes can land here directly, but because it is not a civil aviation airport, it is still more troublesome to operate.

Not everyone can be like Chang Haonan, who can casually mix up a special plane operated by the 34th Air Division in the name of civil aviation.

A few seconds after the car came to a stop, eight people wearing different suits got out of the car one after another.

Guo Liqiang, the leader, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but "highly praise" the driving skills of these drivers.

He didn't even feel anything about flying or boating, but he got motion sickness in this seemingly ordinary jeep......

He held on to the door and slowed down a little, so that his somewhat darkened vision could return to normal.

Then, when he raised his head again, he saw several figures in overalls coming out of the factory.

So he straightened out his somewhat messy suit, and while leading his subordinates to meet him, he secretly regretted it in his heart:

"If I knew this, I wouldn't have to urge that sentence when I got in the car......"

Before, when he had just boarded the line with the pick-up team from Taoxian Airport, he casually said, "Trouble comrade, hurry up, we're in a hurry." ”

And then...... It's fast, it's just that people can't stand it.

After the design of the Thunderbolt-11 missile was finalized, it was just in time for the early retirement of the director of the missile department of the Second Electromechanical Bureau at that time, so Guo Liqiang naturally took over the position.

However, the chair in the director's office was not yet hot, and he was originally immersed in the happiness of promotion and salary increase, and he found a huge problem-

The entire department, after the completion of Thunderbolt 11, did not have a single project in hand!

In particular, the two brother departments of satellite and rocket, which are in the same office building, are busy hitting the back of their heads day by day, so the contrast is even more obvious.

The ordinary engineers under his command can not care about this, anyway, in a place like the research institute, if there is no project, the most is to fish, and they will not be unemployed.

But as the head of the department, if he has no performance for a long time......

Life is clearly not going to be easy.

At that moment, Guo Liqiang suddenly realized-

As for why his predecessor, the old Deng, chose to retire early at the speed of light after the Thunderbolt 11 was finalized......

It's all in ambush here.

In the following almost a year and a half, Guo Liqiang also carried out some projects based on the development of Perak 11 according to the ideas that Chang Haonan casually said before.

Helplessly, this missile is, to put it bluntly, a localized Italian version of the Sparrow, and its potential is on the shelf.

As a result, except for the most basic air-to-air model, no other derivatives are cared about.

At the beginning of this year, he also thought about upgrading the Thunderbolt 11 directly with an active seeker.

But the Thunderbolt 12 on the Luoyi side is already about to reach the stage of test firing.

So the army directly showed him a what it means to like the new and hate the old.

Just a year ago, she was called Xiao Tiantian, but now she has become Mrs. Niu......

Therefore, after receiving the official letter from Factory 112 with some Riddler elements, he quickly flew over from Shanghai.

"You are Guo Liqiang, Director Guo, right? Welcome, welcome, welcome. ”

The person who came was naturally He Ming, who had sent an official letter to the Academy of Aerospace Technology at the suggestion of Chang Haonan.

"See the outside, you should be the general manager who sent us a letter?"

Guo Liqiang stepped forward quickly and shook hands with the other party:

"Just call me Lao Guo, or Guo Gong."

He Ming saw that Guo Liqiang was about the same age as himself, although the level was half a level apart, but the two were not in the same system at all, and there was no affiliation, plus his own technical background, and he was not keen on playing official, so he changed his name:

"Then Guo Gong, I'll take you in for a tour first, and then talk about the situation while watching?"

"It's good, it's good."

Guo Liqiang has not fully recovered from the discomfort caused by motion sickness, and it is indeed not convenient to talk about business immediately.

"That's right, He Gong."

Guo Liqiang, who was subject to the usual security inspection, suddenly spoke:

"I would venture to ask, our two units shouldn't have had much contact before, how did you suddenly remember us?"

In fact, this is also something he was curious about on the plane to Shengjing.

According to the content of the other party's official letter, this ultra-long-range air-to-air missile is basically a direct transfer of the technical data of the R33 for localization at the level of "missile", and they only need to be responsible for redesigning the guidance system.

Just shell out some money for the pennant design bureau.

Given the large amount of equipment and exports of the Thunderbolt-11 in the last two years, he can afford to pay for it.

The biggest difficulty of long-range air-to-air missiles lies precisely in the missiles themselves.

In other words, it's almost a risk-free project.

It is true that Shengfei Group is only equivalent to a matchmaking role in this process, and the real business has to be negotiated by the Academy of Aerospace Technology and the pennant.

But Guo Liqiang understands that whether it is a business or a project, the "doorway" or channel is the most important thing.

Why did pie fall from the sky on your head?

"Oh...... This is recommended to us by Mr. Chang, saying that you have just finished the research and development of Perak 11, and the technical force should be relatively abundant and have enough energy to take over new projects. ”

He Ming's answer highlights a high emotional intelligence.

"Technological strength is relatively abundant" can also be put in another way.

It's called "It's pitiful to see that you don't have any business and are starving......

Guo Liqiang, who knew about his family's affairs, immediately wiped the sweat on his head:

"We do have a lot of manpower at the moment......"

"But this is always ...... If you know me, it should mean ...... Comrade Chang Haonan of the Torch Group? ”

Although Chang Haonan's name is well-known in the entire system of the Science and Technology Commission, outside the aviation industry and the weapons industry, not many people actually know that he is the chief engineer of two key projects at the terrifying age of more than 20 years.

Relatively speaking, on the contrary, the identity of the Torch Group is more widely disseminated.

After all, the TORCH Multiphysics software and the Torch-C.B. Ferrari company, two of the two ruthless activities that can be said to shake the world in the field of mechanical manufacturing, are still relatively loud.

"Yes, but Mr. Chang currently has a project in his body, and he is not in Shengjing, so I am here to contact you."

While speaking, He Ming had already taken a group of people from the Tian Technology Research Institute to the interior of the 70# plant.

"Huh...... This is the F14 bar......"

Even if Guo Liqiang was born in the aerospace system, as a technician engaged in air-to-air missiles, it is impossible for him to be ignorant of aircraft.

Not to mention the F14, a model with a relatively good reputation:

Do we really have this thing?

"For foreign customers to upgrade, of course, we also got a few for testing by the way......"

Guo Liqiang looked suddenly enlightened.

There are only two users of F14.

Could it be that the U.S. military came to Shengfei Group to upgrade its aircraft?

Therefore, it is basically an open card.

In fact, the arms sales contract between China and Persia is not a secret, that is, Guo Liqiang usually does not pay attention to the news in this area, like some more senior military or aviation enthusiasts, and even have seen the F14 in a test flight state near Beiling Airport.

After taking the group behind him around several planes twice, He Mingcai continued:

"The reason why we thought of doing this ultra-long-range air-to-air bomb project was actually affected by this upgrade project."

"The customer said that he wanted to integrate Russian-made long-range air-to-air missiles into the aircraft, so the pennant sent a group of technicians and a few sample bombs to participate in the project together."

"When we saw R33, we felt like we could use it for our own ......"

When the words of this sentence fell, he also happened to lead people to the small compartment where three R33 missiles were stored:

"This is it."

"What the hell? This is an air-to-air missile? ”

The three huge missiles in front of him directly startled Guo Liqiang subconsciously and burst into a foul mouth.

As a missile designer, he certainly knew about the R33 model before he came.

But "knowing" is not the same as feeling intuitively.

Even if he could memorize the dimensions and basic indicators of the R33, he was still shocked when he saw this missile the size of almost two or three people for the first time.

At this moment, many ideas that had been thought about in the past but were not qualified to try poured into Guo Liqiang's mind at almost the same time......

"It's done!"

The voice echoed in his ears.
