Chapter Forty-Eight: The Urgency of the Great Hair
Just the day after the successful flight test of the WS-10, in order to boost the confidence of the domestic population.
With the approval of the higher authorities, they began to deliberately spread the news that the domestic engine had been successfully developed to the outside world.
The first to start the blow was when Zhang Zhengjiang was in an interview about the military column.
When the host asked about the military engines of various countries in the world, Zhang Zhengjiang explained the latest engines in various countries.
I briefly mentioned the data of China's self-developed military engines, especially the data obtained in flight tests.
Although when it is said, it is said that it is obtained in the laboratory.
But those who really know more about this aspect will be able to understand at a glance that these data are definitely obtained through actual flight tests.
After the live broadcast of the show that night, it immediately attracted the attention of Damao's relevant enterprises, and as for Eagle Sauce, he didn't pay so much attention to the Dragon Kingdom at present, and he didn't care much about this news.
However, the Rurika Saturn Scientific Research and Production Consortium, which is the manufacturer of the AL-31F engine of Da Maojia, was indeed a little panicked when it heard the news.
After all, they are currently negotiating a deal with the Dragon Kingdom to introduce the AL-31F engine.
If, at this time, their domestic engines make significant progress, then in the next negotiation process, they will definitely face tremendous pressure.
Just when the Rurika Saturn scientific research and production complex was sad for the sudden explosion of a domestic engine.
The negotiation team responsible for the introduction of AL-31F in Longguo was digesting the news that had just been learned.
"So, don't we need to continue to import engines from Da Mao's family?"
Bai Ximing, who was a member of the negotiation team, asked suspiciously after reading the technical information.
"Not really!"
As the leader of the negotiation team, Luo Yimin looked at the people present with sharp eyes.
"Although the research and development of domestic engines has achieved breakthrough success, its current production is not able to meet the needs of the Air Force."
"Therefore, the Air Force still needs the AL-31F imported from Da Mao's family to equip the newly designed J-10."
"However, the success of the domestic engine still gives us the confidence to argue with the Maozi, and we don't have to look at their faces everywhere."
Speaking of this, the members of the negotiation team present basically nodded in agreement.
In the previous meetings to discuss the introduction of engines.
Faced with the high price of the engine, the negotiation team put forward a request for a price reduction, but was mercilessly rejected by the other party.
Although Mao Zi was domineering when he refused, we still didn't have any way.
Because at this time, we can only find such a leading engine supplier in the world.
Ten years ago, the sweet period with Eagle Sauce has passed, and a chain that is gradually tightening has been firmly wrapped around the body of the Dragon Kingdom.
And apart from these two, there is basically no other choice.
Unless they go to negotiate with the Gallic chicken family's Snakma company to bring in their engines.
However, considering the relationship between the two parties, it is better to be slaughtered by Maozi.
After all, Maozi is just greedy for your money, and the Gallic chicken may want something else from you.
Of course, Maozi does not have to insist on his offer at this time, after all, it has not been a few years since the woolly bear disintegrated at this time.
Damao's domestic military industrial enterprises are not having a good time, and the Rurika Saturn scientific research and production complex is no exception, although it has a strong military manufacturing capacity, but it can't let its employees have enough bread!
-----------------
Beidu, meeting room of Taiping Hotel.
Negotiations are underway on the introduction of the AL-31F engine into the country.
"Mr. Ivanov, if you can't reduce the original offer by fifty percent!"
"We will consider abandoning the introduction of your AL-31F engine!"
"I hope to see your sincerity!"
Luo Yimin's words were sharp, and he slapped a quotation on the table in a tough tone.
As for the bearded man opposite, Ivanov smiled forcefully:
"Dear Luo!"
"We have a long historical friendship!"
"Our offer this time has been reduced by 20 percent from the last time."
"I think that's enough to show our sincerity!"
In this negotiation, Mao Zi's side came up and gave himself a knife and cut 20% of the offer.
There is no such thing as pulling back and forth for a quote of one or two pips last time.
It is enough to see the other party's worries after knowing that the domestic engine of the Dragon Kingdom has completed the test flight.
So Mao Zi came up directly and gave himself a knife.
But that doesn't mean our negotiators will be able to accept such an offer.
The original offer has already been about twice as high.
This is also the reason why our negotiating team proposed a 50 per cent reduction in the offer.
"After testing by our engineers and aviation experts, we believe that the surge problem of the AL-31F engine at low altitude and high surface speed is mainly due to your material problems."
"That's why the AL-31F engine has a short service life of just four hundred hours."
Holding a few reports that had just been passed from the Air Force not long ago, Luo Yimin slowly and leisurely revealed the defects of the AL-31F engine.
At this time, the representatives of Mao Zi in the conference room were even more panicked, they did not expect that the Dragon Kingdom had just come into contact with the AL-31F engine, and they would be able to find out the problem with this engine.
Normally, it would be good for them to be able to fly the Su-27 well at this time, how could they see the problem in the engine.
If, according to the normal situation, this is indeed the case, it will take almost ten years for the country to gradually figure out the problems of the AL-31F engine.
But who made a humanoid plug-in appear in this era?!
After watching the first test flight of the WS-10, Zhang Xingyang thought about it and wrote a letter to Chief Engineer Zhang of the WS-10 project team.
The main content is to talk about some of the problems that exist in the AL-31F and how to improve it on the WS-10.
Originally, Zhang Xingyang's focus was on wanting the domestic engine to do better.
Who would have thought that after Zhang Zhengjiang saw it, he thought of the AL-31F negotiations that were going on recently, so he handed over some of the issues mentioned in Zhang Xingyang's letter to the negotiation team.
Let them add a bargaining chip to the negotiation process.
Ivanov was faced with the problems of the AL-31F that Luo Yimin shook out at this time, and said somewhat unnaturally:
"Those are the problems of the first generation of AL-31F, and we are about to export the second generation of products now, and the problems you said will be solved."
In fact, the problem that Luo Yimin just mentioned was not completely solved even in the third generation.
Ivanov was completely saving himself at this time.
"Of course, due to some minor problems on the AL-31F, we are willing to give you a brotherly friendship price!"
