I drank a lot of wine yesterday, so Qin Feng slept until more than nine o'clock, the wine of this era is good, no matter how much you drink, you won't have a headache the next day, if it is those alcohol blended goods, it may be nothing to drink, but when you wake up the next day, your head will definitely hurt badly.

Qin Feng got up, washed his face, and then thought about what to eat, and when he opened the door, he was surprised to see two people standing outside!

"Mr. Friedel, when did you come?" Qin Feng was very surprised and said, "Quick, please come in." ”

He greeted Friedel warmly, deliberately leaving Pete aside as if the man didn't exist.

Pete was a little embarrassed, watching Friedel being pulled in by Qin Feng, and he could only follow behind and enter the room of the guest house together.

"Come, Mr. Friedel, sit down, and I'll pour you a glass of water." Qin Feng said, picked up the kettle, but found that the kettle was empty, so he shouted at the door: "Waiter, waiter!" ”

"No need, Mr. Qin, we are not thirsty, we came to you, there is something important to discuss."

Qin Feng's gaze looked at Pete: "Hey, isn't this the person who was the lion's mouth, majestic, and high?" Mr. Friedel, how did you bring such a person? We welcome friends, but not those who want to ride on our heads! ”

"Mr. Qin, Pete did something wrong at the beginning, so I brought him here to ask him to apologize to you personally, Pete!"

Pete was a little reluctant, but he had to bow his head.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I was wrong, I shouldn't have put forward those conditions in the first place, please forgive me."

"You are not sorry for me, what you are sorry for is our Eastern Air Force, what you are sorry for is our cooperation agreement, what you are sorry for is your own conscience, obviously the plane has been given to us, you still want to try to use those broken planes to control us, do you have brains?" Qin Feng gushed out a lesson: "If we wanted to let you ride on our heads, we would have agreed to Perry's plan at the beginning, and we could get a large number of F-16s effortlessly, we are not your little brothers in Europe and Asia, we will never be at the mercy of others, when Lao Maozi wanted to ride on our heads, we did not hesitate to turn against them, how many heads do you have?" ”

Pete blushed and had a thick neck, and was there like a naughty schoolboy receiving criticism from his teacher, and he tried to refute it several times, but put up with it several times.

Finally, Qin Feng said that he was happy, and he shouted out again: "Waiter, waiter, what about the water, I'm thirsty!" ”

The waiter finally came late, came up with a thermos filled with water, took the empty thermos away, and made tea for Qin Feng and the others by the way.

Qin Feng sat down and blew the tea he had just brewed, this tea had to be drunk hot.

Watching Qin Feng drink tea, Friedel didn't dare to urge, so he could only take a sip of it, it was called a hot, almost made him squirt out the tea again, and then looked at Mr. Qin's appearance of drinking tea, and couldn't help but sigh, Oriental people have really practiced kung fu, and boiling water is not afraid of scalding.

Qin Feng drank half of the tea, refilled it again, and then spoke: "Friedel, my friend, you are so polite, you don't have to come here to apologize, I am really touched." ”

"Well, we came here this time to apologize to you, and at the same time, there are some things we want to trouble you."

"Tell me, as long as I can help, I will do my best to help."

"That's right, after we brought the MiG-29 back, we conducted a test flight, and after only flying for more than 50 hours, we found that the engine had reached the end of its life, and now it is urgently needed to get a new engine."

"Engine?" Qin Feng frowned: "This is not easy!" At the beginning, when I got it from Lao Maozi, I told them that they were pretending to be on the ground, and now they say that they can't fly, I'm afraid it will make Lao Maozi unhappy, and it will be even more impossible to buy a new engine from them. ”

Not all twin-engine fighters are heavy aircraft, Lao Maozi's Su-27 is a heavy aircraft, and the twin-engine MiG-29 of the same shape is a medium-sized aircraft, in the same way, the French Rafale and the European Gale are also medium-sized aircraft, which mainly depends on the take-off weight of the aircraft, more than 20 tons are called heavy aircraft, and the take-off weight of the aircraft is determined by the thrust of the engine.

The engine RD33 used for the MiG-29 has a maximum thrust of 50 kN and an afterburner thrust of 81.4 kN.

Such an engine, Europe, the United States also has, the United States F-18 fighter used on the F404, the original model, the maximum thrust of 48.9 kN, afterburner thrust of 78.7 kN, the later thrust continues to increase, to F414, the afterburner thrust has increased to 98.7 kN, in short, this engine and RD33 is similar, can be replaced.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Friedel looked embarrassed: "Mr. Qin, this kind of replacement you said, there is a lot of work to be done, and the cost will be very high, and it is not possible to simulate the flight characteristics of the MiG-29, if we can get the RD33, it is the best choice, you can help us, think of a way." ”

It's not that the thrust of the engine is close, the shape is close to be replaced, the engine is fixed in a different way, the rear fuselage has to be operated, and it is not known whether it will affect the strength of the aircraft after moving, and the control methods of these two engines are not the same, the hydraulic control used by Lao Maozi, the engine in the United States is controlled by full power, and if you want to change it, you need to rematch it and spend a lot of money.

"However, if you want to get a ready-made engine, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money." Qin Feng said.

"Mr. Qin, how much does it cost?" Friedel suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

"The cost of this engine is not high, about one or two million dollars, and if it can be purchased using the normal process, then the normal price is only three million dollars." Qin Feng said: "However, if we purchase through abnormal prices, it will be high, there are all aspects of the relationship that needs to be dealt with, but not only those leaders in charge of front-line aircraft, Moscow has to deal with some good relations, a 30 million US dollars is not necessarily enough." Forget it, you should use the F404 engine instead, it will save money. ”

Million!

This price is indeed not cheap, if you buy two, it will be 60 million, but ...... If they let their domestic engine factories change the F404 engine to hydraulic control and match it to the MiG-29, then I am afraid it will not be 60 million to be able to do it, and General Electric Company dares to ask them for two or three hundred million dollars! How many years is enough for ten RD33s for this money?

Therefore, Friedel gritted his teeth: "Mr. Qin, 30 million is 30 million, get us two first!" ”

"Well, it's going to take a lot of effort to get something this time, so are you sure you're only going to get two engines?"

"Mr. Qin, what do you mean?"

"For aircraft like the MiG-29, radar and fire control systems are more important, you should have heard that there are three ways of fire control systems for MiG-29s, right? In addition to the airborne radar, there is also the OEPS29 optoelectronic system, once the radar is jammed, or in order to covertly engage the enemy, you can use this way to quietly lock on to the enemy aircraft, launch missiles, and, the MiG-29 is the strongest, or it uses the SHCHEL-3um helmet sight, as long as the pilot turns his head to see the target, the missile can achieve synchronous locking, which is the strongest. ”

Last time Qin Feng got the MiG-29, Lao Maozi was also afraid of revealing his own secrets, so the fire control system was not installed, and it was directly replaced by counterweights.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Friedel really became excited: "Mr. Qin, you said that there is a way to get the accessories of the fire control system?" ”

Lao Maozi's MiG-29 and Su-27 are cross-era, not only the design of the aircraft shape is very stylish, but the other subsystems of the aircraft are also very advanced, take the fire control system as an example, not only the common airborne radar, but also the IRST optoelectronic probe, as well as the helmet sight! Putting these together, the MiG-29 is still the first.

In the heat of air combat, pilots no longer have to think about how to lock on to the enemy with radar, just look at the enemy aircraft, the helmet sight can lock onto the target, the missile can also be aimed at the target, and then the missile can be launched! Although the Americans have already obtained the MiG-29, due to the lack of these subsystems, in air combat, they always feel that something is missing, and now, if these shortcomings are filled, then they can better simulate the opponent!

Qin Feng was very cautious: "I can't be completely sure, but I can help give it a try." ”

"Mr. Qin, we need your help, how much more money do you need for these subsystems?"

"I reckon another $40 million would be about the same. Enough to feed those greedy old hairymen. ”

Sixty million for two engines, plus forty million for these fire control systems, is another small target of 100 million! With these funds, the R&D base of the Pacific Group High-Tech Center does not have to worry about money! It's really not easy for yourself!

"Okay, Mr. Qin, we will go to raise money immediately, and I hope you can help us get these accessories as soon as possible." Friedel said.

$100 million is indeed a lot, but it can make their imaginary enemy forces more realistic, and a MiG-29 in full condition is very important, no matter how much it costs! After all, it's still the Cold War.

The Yankees will never know that it won't be long before a defected MiG-29 fighter will arrive in their hands, even if they can't get in touch every day, at least they can see the MiG-29 clearly, and they won't know that in a few years, the Red Empire will be gone, the two Germany will merge, and they can confront the MiG-29 every day, at that time, needless to say, 100 million or 10 million dollars will feel too much.

Now, they're not going to skimp on the money.

The Yankees left satisfied, Qin Feng sent them to the door, and watched them leave in the car, he walked around and continued to the workshop of the 80,000-ton die forging press, and when he entered, he had already seen more than a dozen thick-walled steel pipes placed next to him.

"Mr. Qin, are you here?"

"Zhou Gong, you haven't slept? Did it happen overnight? Qin Feng was very curious.

Zhou Minghui smiled: "We are divided into two groups, day and night non-stop, after all, the construction of this 80,000-ton die forging press has cost a lot of money, we need to earn the money back as soon as possible, by the way, the people of Dagang Power Plant have sent back the news, the steel pipe we made is fully qualified, they increased the internal chamber pressure to 300 megapascals in the experiment, and there were no accidents, which is already ten times the design index." ”

The steam pressure inside the thermal power generator set is more than 20 megapascals, and later in order to improve the efficiency of the thermal power generating unit, the supercritical unit was used, and the internal pipeline pressure was increased to about 28 megapascals, and now, the pressure of 80,000 tons is down, so that the pressure of this pipeline is as high as 300 megapascals! This is already in time for artillery!

In the field of artillery, tank guns are high-pressure guns, the most advanced German 120 mm guns, the chamber pressure has exceeded 500 megapascals, however, this is only a rarity, most of the artillery, such as the common howitzers on the battlefield, the chamber pressure is below 300 megapascals, that is to say, the thick-walled steel pipe produced here can already make artillery, but the inner diameter of 800 mm is still too large, after all, the common large-caliber artillery in the world now, the caliber is only about 150 mm, Lao Maozi's standard is 152 mm, the Western standard is 155 mm, and as for larger caliber artillery, it is only 203 mm.

"Well, yes, we only use ordinary martensitic steel smelted in the electric furnace, if we use electroslag to remelt the steel, the chamber pressure can easily be doubled." Qin Feng was also very satisfied.

At this moment, there was a sudden hearty laughter outside.

"That's right, the thick-walled steel pipes produced by your factory are of very good quality and can fully meet the needs of the troops!"

With the voice, several people walked in, and although the person in the front was not young, he was walking in the wind.

"Leader Li, why are you back?" Qin Feng was very curious, shouldn't this Li Runzhu be in the south? It's okay to come back for the New Year, it's not a holiday, how can you come back? Even if you come back, you should report to the capital, and then hurry back, how can you still have time to run to your side?

"Our round battle is over." Li Runzhu said: "Replaced by brother troops, by the way, brother troops also ordered 30,000 sets of bulletproof equipment from your Pacific Group, don't you know?" ”

Qin Feng really didn't know that he, the boss of the group, was good at delegating power, and his subordinates were very free, and Qin Feng was doing a big business, and 30,000 sets of bulletproof equipment didn't cost much, so his subordinates didn't report it in time, or when it came to Zhao Jiao, they didn't report to Qin Feng.

Li Runzhu and they have returned triumphantly! They relied on the advanced equipment provided by Qin Feng to create a very good situation this time, occupied a lot of hills, and advanced the battle line a lot.

"When we got back, we visited some of the wounded soldiers." Li Runzhu said: "Among them, there is a combat hero He Liang, who lost his legs in the battle, and he doesn't need the army to arrange his future life, let's ...... I feel ashamed! I went to take a look, and then I found that He Liang actually stood up and could walk, your human exoskeleton company under the Pacific Group gave him a pair of new legs, your company is really amazing, our army plan, and then order the human exoskeleton you produce for all the soldiers who have lost their legs. No matter how much it costs, let's get the fighters back on their feet! ”

"Well, we only give the troops a cost price, and we also ask these fighters to help us try it out and put forward suggestions for improvement." Speaking of this, Qin Feng's mood was also a little heavy, these are the most lovely people in the contemporary era, and they must not be affected in their future lives.

"As for He Liang, our group wants to hire him as a tester of our human exoskeleton, and he will stay in our group in the future. If I Qin Feng has a bite to eat, there is a bite of him. ”

He Liang is He Xiao's elder brother and a combat hero, no matter from which point of view, he is worthy of Qin Feng's help, I just hope he doesn't refuse.

"Well, He Liang hasn't taken off his military uniform yet, our troops give him an order, and he has to stay in your group obediently." Li Runzhu said, looking at the steel pipe on the side: "I almost forgot about the business, Mr. Qin, I heard that the steel pipe you produce here is very good, but the caliber is too big, can you produce a batch of small-caliber ones for us?" ”

"We have to finish the production of this batch of orders before it is convenient to change the mold." Qin Feng said: "How big is the caliber of the troops? ”

"203 mm, no, two hundred mm." A technician who followed Mr. Li said he was in his forties, bald in his head, and wore black-rimmed glasses, which he looked like an engineer.

203 mm is the largest caliber howitzer in the country, and as for 200 mm, of course, it is necessary to leave a margin, and after going back, they will do their own bore finishing.

For a long time, domestic howitzers were based on 152 mm as the maximum caliber, and later, the famous artillery genius came to the East, saying that he was here to communicate, but in fact he invented the 155 mm howitzer technology to sell, since being driven away by the Americans, Dr. Bull lost the source of research and development funds, and could only sell his 155 mm howitzer all over the world. However, Dr. Bull played the role of an adviser, and after looking at the arsenal of the Eastern Army, he began to propose to the Eastern Army the development of a howitzer of 203 mm caliber.

Whether it is Lao Maozi or the Americans, there are artillery pieces of this caliber, which can play a huge role in both long-range fire support and fortified battles in the city. And the East is also a blank in this regard.

Later, Dongfang followed Dr. Boer's advice and built a 203 mm howitzer and tested it repeatedly, but in the end it was not finalized and put into service.

In addition to being bulky, it is also an indisputable fact that such large-caliber howitzers are difficult to process.

Now, with this machine from the Pacific Group, it is much easier to build artillery! Go up and shoot it, squeeze it, and you're done!
