Capital, airplane building, conference room.

"Last time, Mr. Qin got the MiG-29, but unfortunately we just let us see it and sold it, we also complained, it seems that we are wrong to blame Mr. Qin, Qin is always holding back his big move!"

"That's right, speaking of Tomcat fighters, that's really a good thing, we also went to Grumman a few years ago to inspect their Tomcat fighters, but unfortunately it's too expensive, we can't afford it."

"Take advantage of this opportunity, let's see through the tomcat inside and out, and then imitate it!"

"That's right! The Tomcat fighter is the most suitable for us! In particular, the combination of its AWG-9 radar and the immortal bird provides an interception capability at a distance of 100 kilometers, and we are worried about the backfire bombers of the old Maozi in the north every day, if there is such a pair, we will no longer be afraid! ”

The people in military uniforms are sighing happily, and the technicians in tunics are thinking quickly: This is a piece of fat!

Li Ming, who came from the Northern Institute, looked at the person sitting next to him: "Old Song, you are engaged in the No. 10 project, you should not have the spare energy to survey and map the imitation Tomcat fighter, right?" ”

Song Lao showed a wry smile on his face: "At present, our No. 10 project is progressing smoothly, and the detailed design has begun, the most important thing is the engine, as long as our turbofan No. 10 comes out, the No. 10 project will definitely be able to make its first flight in five years!" ”

The answer is not asked, but Li Ming can also know what Song Lao means: with the little money of the Air Force, it is impossible to support two projects at the same time, and if the Air Force fully supports the Tomcat's surveying and mapping imitation, it means that the No. 10 project may be abandoned.

Give up, give up, anyway, this project is destined to be our northern institute!

The Northern Institute is the big brother of domestic military aircraft research and development, and all the fighters of the Air Force are the first to fly from the north, even if it is the Jian-7 developed by the 132 factory, it is also the technology transferred by the north to the past.

Just when the big guys were thinking about their own things, a voice came from outside.

"Everyone's here? Sorry, sorry, traffic jam on the road, it's late. ”

A young man appeared at the door, and many of those present had seen it and immediately greeted him.

"Mr. Qin, you are so amazing!"

"Mr. Qin, you are our lucky star!"

"Yes, I was still talking about the landing gear, but now I have the whole machine!"

On the rostrum, Lin Lao beckoned: "Xiao Feng, sit here!" ”

If he was called Mr. Qin, Qin Feng might still refuse, but now that he is called Xiao Feng, with such a friendly name, can Qin Feng, a junior, not listen to the arrangement of his elders?

So, Qin Feng could only sit up, and as soon as he sat down, someone below spoke.

"Mr. Qin, wait until the parts of these Tomcat fighters are in hand and hand them over to our Northern Institute, please rest assured, our Northern Institute will definitely mobilize the strongest force to map out the entire aircraft and assemble all parts in place!"

Qin Feng's mood is complicated, he is really miserable, he has to shed any troubled water!

"Lao Li, what are you anxious about, first listen to Xiao Feng introduce the specific situation of this transaction." Lin Lao looked at Li Ming.

"Well, well, I'm too anxious, but our Northern Institute is the first military aircraft institute in China, and only we can complete such a huge project!" After Li Ming finished speaking, he looked at the people around him again: "What do you think?" ”

"Lao Li, your Northern Institute is the first military aircraft institute in China, but at present, you are also carrying out a peace model project, which is the most urgent, and this Tomcat is a variable swept wing, and we have technical reserves for variable swept wings in China, mainly in the 320 factory, so it is more appropriate to put it in the 320 factory!"

Li Ming looked at the person who spoke: "Lao Wen, you are from the 011 base, how can you help them speak in the 320 factory?" Where are you going to turn your elbow? ”

"Quiet, quiet!" Lin Lao looked at the mess below, and was very dissatisfied: "It's not the turn to compete for the task yet!" Hear about the project first! If anyone makes any more noise, get out of the way! ”

Finally no one spoke.

Lin Lao looked at Qin Feng helplessly: "Xiao Feng, say it." ”

"Okay, then I'll briefly introduce that the Persians agreed to send the scrapped Tomcat fighter over and hand it over to us to build the plane, there is a precondition, I promised them to help them solve the problem of the Immortal Bird missile."

"Mr. Qin, do you want to buy from the U.S. Navy through special channels?"

"Lao Li, you ...... like this again"

Li Ming hurriedly shut up, but he couldn't say it anymore, this Lao Lin would really drive him out, and it would be a shame when the time came.

"The Immortal Bird missile is the main long-range air-to-air missile of the US Navy, and I don't have the ability to get it, so the solution I proposed to the Persians is to help them hang the Hawker missile."

"How is this possible? The Hawk missile is a surface-to-air missile, and the Immortal Bird missile is an air-to-air missile, and the length of the two is not the same, and the guidance method is also different......" When Li Ming's words came here, he suddenly stopped: "I won't say it, I won't say it, Lao Lin, I didn't say anything just now, I didn't say anything." ”

Looking at Li Ming covering his mouth, Qin Feng also felt a little funny, if he didn't come to the meeting, he really didn't know that the contradictions in the aviation industry system were so big. However, this Li Ming has a few brushes, and he can tell the difficulties at once.

"There are two solutions I proposed, one is to fully copy the guidance system of the Immortal Bird missile, and then switch to the Hawk missile, and the other is to modify the fire control system of the Tomcat fighter and use semi-active radar irradiation to solve the guidance problem of the Hawker missile...... Although you can also get the Tomcat fighter and copy it, it will undoubtedly lose credibility. Qin Feng said: "Moreover, we can also master relevant technologies in the process." ”

Are you kidding! Li Ming below only sneered, and he didn't speak again, because there was no need anymore, this was clearly a fantasy.

Imitation of the Immortal Bird missile? Do you know what circuit is used in the Immortal Bird missile? The radars inside the warheads are all flat slot antennas! Modify the Tomcat's fire control system? That's even more nonsense, who has the ability?

See what level is in the country? Airborne radar has been engaged in for decades, and what has come up is only an enlarged version of a radar rangefinder, and there are many models of air-to-air missile projects, and none of them can go down!

If it weren't for the poor level of domestic electronic technology, why bother looking for the Americans to improve their own Jian-8-2 fighters, many technicians from the Northern Institute went to the United States to assemble them together, saw the strength of these technologies with their own eyes, and realized the huge gap between China and abroad.

So, what is there to fight for in this project? There's no way to do that. By that time, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the country?

We don't want it in the north! We have the J-8 2 project, which is currently the most important and the only one that has any hope of success!

Li Ming made up his mind in an instant, and then looked at the representative of the 320 factory, you can do it if you want, let's give it to you, the variable sweep wing has long been outdated!

Li Ming didn't listen to Qin Feng's words very much, and Qin Feng's introduction was very fast, and it was over in half an hour.

"Okay, that's the case." Qin Feng said: "As for which factory is willing to upgrade and take over this project, it depends on you." ”

Lin Lao nodded and looked down: "Lao Li, didn't you always ask for it just now?" You are the big brother of military aircraft research and development, how about this project handed over to you? ”

Li Ming shook his head again and again: "The most important thing we have at present is the Peace Model Project, and we must concentrate all our technical strength. This project should be handed over to other brother units. ”

I originally thought it was a piece of fatty meat, but who would have thought that it was actually a hot potato! Li Ming is not stupid, of course he won't take it.

Hearing his words, Qin Feng's eyes also showed contempt, this is your consistent style? However, this is fine, Qin Feng is too lazy to deal with them.

"Old Song, what about you?" Lin Lao's eyes looked at Song Lao.

"We're here to make soy sauce." Song Lao said: "We are currently working on the No. 10 project, and we have no extra energy to map and copy the Tomcat. ”

Song Lao didn't take over, it was really no energy, after all, Jianshi was very important, and Song Lao didn't fight for this at the beginning.

"So who should we hand over this project to?" Lin Lao looked down.

"It must be the 320 factory, their factory is engaged in variable swept wing fighters, and this Tomcat is also a variable swept wing, which is just right for them." Li Ming spoke: "Old Xie, what do you say?" ”

Lao Xie's face was flushed, at first he wanted to help the 320 factory to ask for a project, but now, he also heard it, this project is not simple, if you don't do it, you will be the backstabber, at this time, how can he harm the 320 factory?

His gaze looked in the direction of Factory 320, where sat a thin old man, his brain was bald, protruding cheekbones could be seen on his thin face, his eyebrows were thick, and his eyes had a calm glow.

At that time, the industry in the East was established with the assistance of Lao Maozi, so the planning was also based on Lao Maozi's coming, and the design of Lao Maozi's factory was simply and directly taken, and the factory built was exactly the same as Lao Maozi.

The organization is also based on Lao Maozi's coming, a design institute is equipped with an aircraft factory, the design institute is engaged in design, and the aircraft factory is engaged in production, which seems to be very reasonable.

But later, the establishment is slowly changing, the design institute and the factory are separated, the most obvious is Cheng Fei, the 132 factory out of the technical bull Tu Lao, relying on the sale of the facelifted J 7, counting the money to the soft, but this has nothing to do with the 611 Institute, the 611 Institute can only rely on the meager funds of the superior to develop the J-10, and even when there is an extreme shortage of money, Song Lao also went to sell noodles, because the 132 factory is not bad money, so he has always wanted to take the 611 Institute over, and finally, the Chengfei Group was formed, or the 611 Institute led the 132 factory.

Factory 320 also has a technical master, that is, Lu Lao.

In 1920, Lu Lao was born in a southern city, grew up in the war, watched enemy planes bomb his hometown, clenched his fists, set up the dream of serving the country by aviation, and was admitted to the Department of Aeronautical Engineering of National Central University after growing up, and worked in an aircraft factory after graduation, especially in 1944, Lu Lao crossed the ocean, went to the United States, and went to St. Louis, Missouri, for an internship at the McDonald Aircraft Factory, and then entered the design department to participate in the structural design of carrier-based jet fighters. He then continued his studies in aircraft design at Gloucester Aircraft in England before being assigned to the position of general designer.

After the establishment of the motherland, Lu Lao overcame many difficulties, returned to the motherland, and then put all his enthusiasm into the development of the motherland's aviation industry, he once designed the Jianjiao 1 in the first aircraft design room of the 112 factory, and later went to the 320 factory to make the strong five, and then also developed the J-12, in recent years, he has been struggling on the strong six.

Looking at Lu Lao's qualifications, you can know that he has drunk foreign ink and seen the world, so Lu Lao's projects are also very bold.

If you look at the Qiang-5, you can know that the nose air intake of the Jian-6 was changed to the air intake on both sides, and it was quickly figured out, and there was no mistake yet, and the Qiang-5 became the main ground attack aircraft of the Air Force, and it was also exported in large quantities.

Looking at the J-8 2 again, the nose air intake was also changed to two sides of the air intake, and it still took several years with the MiG-23 nose reference.

In the seventies, in the naval battle in the southern seas, although the navy won the victory, it exposed the defects of the lack of advanced attack aircraft, and the air force also wanted advanced ground support aircraft, so the three aircraft * began to coordinate the development of new aircraft, Lu Lao with the 320 factory, put forward the strong six scheme of variable sweep wing, in the sixties and seventies, this scheme is the trend.

However, more than ten years have passed, and the J-7 of the brother unit is on the fast track, while the strong 6 does not see any hope.

The strong six plans to match the turbofan six, and it turns out that this is a pit, the turbofan six project is launched, and the strong six has no engine! At that time, the superior leader asked, can Qiangliu change Spey? It was rejected by the 320 factory at that time, what a joke! Isn't changing the engine equivalent to redesigning an airplane?

So, the higher-level leaders asked again, can the Jian-7 be used? The answer is yes! Okay, then let's J H 7, anyway, there are dozens of Spey engines in stock.

Factory 320 is in a hurry, hurry up and report, we can also use Spey! The superior replied: It's late!

This incident is embarrassing, now, Qiang Liu is a child without a mother, and he is about to die, what choice should they make in the 320 factory?

Lu Lao took a deep breath and looked at the eyes of the leaders above: "Our 320 factory is willing to take on this task!" ”

"Lao Lu, you have to think clearly, not only to map and copy the Tomcat, but also to solve the problem of the Hawker missile mounted on the Tomcat fighter, do you have this ability?" Lao Xie was in a hurry.

Don't do porcelain work without diamonds, the northern institutes have shrunk, what kind of pick-up man should you be at this time!

"Yes, this is a big problem, but when we were developing the strong six, we decided to use fly-by-wire flight control, so we have also accumulated a lot of experience in the electronic system, and we will definitely work hard to gnaw this hard bone!"

Lu Lao has drunk foreign ink, Lu Lao's vision is very high, when he built the strong six, he decided to use fly-by-wire flight control, you know, MiG-29 or hydraulic transmission, Su-27 is just analog fly-by-wire!

Of course, Lu Lao knows how big the risk is, but he also knows that if he gives up this opportunity, then he will no longer be able to engage in a variable swept wing fighter, he has worked this project for more than ten years, how many decades are there in this life?

Lu Lao wants to fight again, in his eyes, surveying and mapping imitation Tomcat, that is the continuation of the strong six!

Qin Feng nodded above, in this era, there are some people he must help, in the aviation system, Ma Lao is the first, Lu Lao is the second!

Who will step up when it counts? Look at the northern institute, if there is a benefit, they will take it, and if they find that it is a pit, they will run, and there is no responsibility, but fortunately, they will run, and they will regret it in the future, and they will not be able to grab this project again!

This solution to the problem of the Hawk missile mounted on the Tomcat fighter does not need them to bother at all, Qin Feng has this ability, after all, he was also a participant in this project at the beginning, but now he can't say that he has to hide it clumsyly, and he has to let these people be exposed.

"Do you have any comments? What other facility would like to take on this project? Lin Lao asked: "If the project is given to the 320 factory, who has any opinions, don't blame me Lao Lin for his bad temper and scolding." ”

"Nope."

"Nope."

"Okay, then this project will be officially handed over to Factory 320! I hope you can use your strength to assemble the parts sent by the Persians, and complete the task of mapping the Tomcat fighter in the process. ”

Li Ming suddenly had a stirring in his heart, he only said surveying and mapping, not imitation! That is, the Air Force did not fancy such fighters?

Come to think of it, where does the Air Force have the money to support such a huge project, and besides, the variable swept wing technology has long been outdated.

"Wise leaders, this project is a foreign technical assistance project, we can solve the problem for Persia, for us, there is no need for variable swept wing fighters, this technology has long been outdated." Li Ming continued to speak below: "Although the variable swept wing technology solves the contradiction between high-speed penetration and low-speed air combat, the structural weight is large, and the advantages are easily offset. ”

Lin Lao smiled and looked at Qin Feng beside him: "Xiao Feng, what do you say?" ”

"If the aircraft wants to have excellent performance at low and medium speeds, especially excellent take-off and landing performance, it needs a large aspect ratio, and if you want high speed, you have to have a small aspect ratio, and the variable swept wing technology can perfectly solve these problems, of course, it also has some defects, such as the size of the central wing box is too large, the weight is too large, resulting in the accumulation of advantages are neutralized, so this technology has gradually been abandoned by engineers from various countries, however, we currently do not have any heavy fighters in the East." Qin Feng analyzed: "We need a twin-engine heavy fighter with a large enough body and a long enough range, and at present, the Tomcat fighter is the best choice." ”

Now if you mention the Su-27, it's not realistic, and what you can get now is the Tomcat fighter.

"Okay, since you have all supported it, then you have to support it vigorously, especially in terms of R&D funding......"
