Xu is always quite clear about what Jiang Yan said, but he doesn't have a good way, this is a naked reality.

Can Jiang Yan not understand? Of course, he understood that the reason why he said it was to elicit the following words.

To be honest, the reason why our breeders will be left behind by other countries is that in addition to technical problems, there is also an important reason, which is our development ideas.

As early as the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the breeders introduced a batch of a certain Ge-17 and a certain Ge-19 from Mao Xiong, and at the same time they introduced the overhaul plant of these two aircraft, and it was Mao Zi who taught us technology, maintenance, and a series of things, so it can be said that our breeder's air force started from these families.

Relying on the maintenance and imitation of a certain Ge-17 model of the woolly bear, we successfully developed and manufactured the first subsonic jet fighter in the breed, the Zhan-5 fighter codenamed "Mural", in just one year.

Later, we improved the basic model of the Zhan 5 and produced many aircraft for different purposes, which greatly trained our team. Adds to our heritage.

Then we imitated a certain Ge-19, and produced the basic model of Zhan-6, and then derived many models such as Zhan-6B, so that later China's Zhan-5 aircraft improved some of the shortcomings of the Mao Xiongguo aircraft and surpassed a certain Ge-19.

Judging from the scientific and technological level at that time, the overall technical level of a certain grid-17 and a certain grid-19 is the most advanced in the world, and it is not much better than the scientific and technological level of Eagle Sauce.

And the fighters made by the breeders who copied these two models were not far behind at that time. It can be said that we have a relatively high starting point.

With these two types of aircraft as a practice, we later completely produced the Zhan-7 aircraft with only a part of the information of a certain 21 aircraft, and the performance of this aircraft greatly surpassed that of the original Mao Xiong 21 aircraft.

However, this situation did not last long, in the sixties, with the continuous development of electronic information technology and aviation technology, the technology generation gap began to slowly appear.

Especially in the seventies, Eagle Sauce's aviation industry, at that time, was even more unbeatable, in the absolute world leading ranks, at that time can still compete with Eagle Sauce Mao Xiong, although in the overall national strength is not weaker than Eagle Sauce, but in the field of aviation industry, there is still a certain gap with Eagle Sauce, barely able to catch up with Eagle Sauce's footsteps, so that later, after Mao Bear became a big hair, avionics is also lagging behind Eagle Sauce a lot.

Although in the mid-60s and late 70s, the breeders also successively developed and produced the fighters of the Zhan 6, Zhan 7, and Zhan 8, but one of them is a quasi-second-generation aircraft, and the other is a second-generation aircraft, strictly speaking, they are all products designed and produced in the 50s.

It can be said that since the sixties, the technical level and design concept of the aviation industry have lagged behind the West by as much as twenty or thirty years.

However, there is still time for us to change, and it is not too late.

This is the core of what Jiang Yan said.

Jiang Yan drank tea, thought about it in his mind, and then said: "In fact, at this stage, isn't the real goal of our farmers to close the gap with each other first, and then finally achieve transcendence?" ”

Mr. Xu nodded and replied, "That's right." ”

Jiang Yan continued: "However, most of our scientific research institutions are aiming at catching up, not surpassing, right? ”

"Hmmm! Yes. Mr. Xu nodded solemnly.

Due to the influence of various factors such as technical level, production and manufacturing capacity, knowledge, vision, etc., including him, the designers of their projects are generally like this!

"So, even though we have achieved some success, in general, we are still lagging behind the developed countries in the West, so we need a new way of thinking, which is to overtake in corners."

Overtaking in corners is a common term in motorsports that means to use a corner to overtake an opponent.

Corners are something every rider has to face.

Compared to the straights, corners are more difficult, and when cornering, the original leader may fall behind because of the corner, and the driver who is behind may take the lead because of the corner.

The term has been given a different connotation, and "bend" is often understood as some change in the social process or some key point on the path of life.

To achieve corner overtaking, it is not casual, just shout a few slogans.

This requires great courage to do it, to work hard, to fight.

But this is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that to achieve corner overtaking, it needs new technologies, new methods, new processes, and new ideas!

"So how do we overtake in corners?" Mr. Xu then asked.

Jiang Yan thought for a moment, sorted out his thoughts and said:

"Let's start with the one I envisioned, a certain type of aircraft."

"We can be a little bit ahead of our time, and of course, we can use the current technology as the standard, but we can take a long-term view."

"Mr. Xu, you see, according to my experience in designing CNC machine tools, the future of electronics will be the key discovery direction in the future, radar will become more and more miniaturized, its functions will be more and more, and after being put on the aircraft, perhaps the aircraft will no longer be guided by the ground, and other aircraft will be found at a long distance."

"For long-range attacks, natural air-to-air missiles have become the main combat weapons, and the old-fashioned dogfighting tactics are estimated to be eliminated."

For example, the plane I envisioned could be modified from what I said the other day. ”

Specifically, it is.

First, the bomb bay can be converted into a fuel tank compartment, the main fuel tank capacity can be expanded, and then a soft fuel tank can be added. ”

"Second, the fuselage can be equipped with 4 bombs, and the wing pylons can be adjusted to increase the bomb load and can carry a variety of types of bombs. , which can also take into account the launch of air-to-air missiles. ”

"Third, it is recommended to replace it with an engine with a higher thrust. Increase the thrust of the aircraft, as well as maneuverability. ”

"Fourth, reserve the position of the airborne radar to provide ideas for future development."

“……”

Jiang Yan spoke freely, and talked for more than two hours, and every article mentioned was quite shocking.

Mr. Xu used two record books to barely finish what Jiang Yan said.

After listening to what Jiang Yan said, Mr. Xu suddenly felt that what Jiang Yan mentioned, as long as he worked hard, it was completely achievable!

Even if you can't do it for the time being, you can wait for a while, and it's almost fine.

For example, Jiang Yanti's engine that uses more thrust, and now the engine used in their project, without auxiliary fuel tanks, has a range of 960 kilometers, and after installation, the maximum range can reach 1200 kilometers.

For example, the airborne radar proposed by Jiang Yan has actually seen the prospects in this area and has begun to advance it in a planned way, which is also entirely possible.

He Xu always does this professionally, so these improvements and ideas proposed by Jiang Yan are all very feasible things, and in an instant, Mr. Xu feels that this guy is a layman, which is more expert than an insider, as long as he works hard, it can be completed.

Can it not be feasible?

Jiang Yan stepped on the shoulders of the giants of later generations, whether it was the advice he provided or the data, they were all the crystallization of the wisdom summed up by countless aviation people in later generations.

What he is proposing now is that in history, the improvement plan and related data of the five masters are the five masters in the early eighties, and the design plan and data after the final finalization, but in Jiang Yan's hands, there are more advanced optimization plans, but that plan is not suitable for the current technical environment at all.

The plan that Jiang Yan has come up with now is already the best plan that Jiang Yan can implement in combination with various manufacturing and production levels in the current aviation field.

If the fifth master improves the manufacturing according to the plan given by Jiang Yan, at least in ten years, in the sequence of the second-generation aircraft, the fifth master is very capable of fighting, and will never lag behind the woolly bear, or the same generation of Western aircraft.

In the future, when our avionics technology and electronic technology develop, and more advanced avionics equipment is installed for the fifth master, the fifth master can continue to fight for more than ten years, and it will not lag behind.
