The next day, a compound in the capital.

"Bagged braised beef noodles, last year's purchase price was three cents and five, and yesterday's purchase price was seven cents, Mr. Qin, your Pacific Group can really make money." Li Runzhu sighed.

"yes." Qin Feng said: "Everything in society is rising, although the price of our flour has not increased, but our labor and ingredients are rising, even if it is the plastic bag, the price has doubled." Moreover, we just happen to have a stock of flour, and when this batch of flour runs out, we may have to buy flour at a higher price. Noodle 2 produces its own flour, and the taste of instant noodles is not as good as ours, and it still sells for seven cents, and we should sell braised beef noodles for one dollar. ”

Of course, Qin Feng knew what Li Runzhu was hinting at, but he was not afraid at all: "You also know that our group cooperates with Mercedes-Benz Company and plans to invest more than a billion yuan, and this money will not fall from the sky. ”

"Your group didn't spend any money." Li Runzhu said: "Mercedes-Benz's technology transfer, and even the parts of the first batch of 500 heavy trucks, are all exchanged for your technology!" ”

"Leader Li, what you said is not right, the superiors have long said that knowledge is wealth! If we don't exchange our technology with Mercedes-Benz and give it to other European companies, we can also get hundreds of millions of dollars in technology transfer fees, which we call it spending no money? Our technology is money! Qin Feng glanced at Li Runzhu again: "Leader Li, don't go around in circles with me, don't you just want to get Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks at a low price, don't worry, our Pacific Group is developed by the army, and it will definitely not make money from the troops, this first batch of Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks are assembled, and the price is 200,000 cheaper than imported goods!" Take the military 6*6 heavy truck chassis as an example, it costs 1 million to import one, let's assemble it, and give 800,000 to the army! How about an ordinary rear double-axle tractor, giving 600,000 to the troops? We guarantee the same quality as imported Mercedes-Benz. ”

"It's only 200,000 cheaper, it's too little, at least 300,000 cheaper!" Li Runzhu continued: "Anyway, your batch of parts didn't cost money. ”

Qin Feng cried with a sad face: "Then we can only give a hundred vehicles to the troops at most, and the rest, the oil, exploration, and transportation departments are waiting, and we have to earn back from them for the losses we suffer from the troops." ”

"Two hundred, I promise you that your cheap flour will last until the end of the year. I also heard that you were going to build an oil refinery in Eritrea, and I helped you go to the oil department to coordinate the refining equipment. ”

"Leader Li, do you even know this?" Qin Feng was a little surprised.

"Your old classmate coordinates the printing of currency on our side, he said he leaked his mouth."

Only then did Qin Feng remember that Mulatu had returned to the East with him, that is, to coordinate the printing of currency, but after coming back, Qin Feng was so busy that he forgot about this old friend.

Gotta go find Muratu and see how it is printed.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Mr. Qin is really here, this way makes it easy for me to find."

Li Runzhu stood up, looked outside, his face suddenly became nervous, and then hurriedly ran over: "Old Liu, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

Liu Lao looked at Qin Feng in the office with a sluggish face with a pair of kind eyes: "Mr. Qin, you have recently done a great thing that is beneficial to our army!" ”

Now it's Li Runzhu's turn to be nervous, Liu Lao, we have just negotiated the matter of two hundred Mercedes-Benz trucks, you don't want these, the remaining three hundred are up to you.

"Yes, whether it is a private enterprise or a state-owned enterprise, it is an enterprise of our country, and they must contribute to the construction of the motherland and serve the construction of the army." Qin Feng hurriedly made a statement.

"Well, you're just right here, go, get in the car, and go out with me."

"Where to go?"

"Hongdu Machinery Factory."

Hongdu Machinery Factory? It's a familiar name! Qin Feng couldn't think of it for a while, got into Liu Lao's special car in a daze, went straight to the airport, and got on the plane, when the plane began to fly south, Qin Feng suddenly thought of something: "320 factory?" Let's go and see what they're going to do about surveying and mapping replica Tomcats? ”

This project was taken over by Qin Feng, but after reporting to the Air Force and holding a meeting, it was taken over by the Air Force, and Qin Feng didn't care much about follow-up contacts and other things, after all, he was busy with Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks recently, and now it seems that it is going well.

"It's to help the Persians hang Hawk missiles on Tomcats." Liu Lao said: "It's just that before this project, let's save a tomcat for them, Mr. Qin, the big guy admires you very much, as long as we put forward the demand, you can help realize it." ”

Qin Feng smiled bitterly: "Old Liu, I'm not omnipotent, this time it's just a coincidence." ”

"It's also an ability, and a lot of times, luck is also a talent." Liu Lao said: "I heard that we can contact the Tomcat, our Navy is also very excited, our J-11 is completely imitated according to the standards of the Tomcat, then it is born a carrier-based aircraft, but at that time, it was ...... At that time, we had something to do, so we didn't go to a meeting together. ”

Just something? Qin Feng quickly reacted: This kind of project costs money, so the navy didn't join in the fun, waiting for the plane to be built in the future, and the navy only needs to place an order to copy it!

However, the Air Force doesn't plan to spend money, and wants to push this project directly to the Pacific Group to pay for it, it's all human spirits! However, it is all about money, if it were not for the shortage of funds, the military would not have racked its brains like this, and its own Pacific Group came out of the most difficult moment with the army, and the relationship is strong, and it will be more convenient to do many things in the future.

"Well, it's good for our navy to rely on meager funds to build a bomb-7." Qin Feng nodded: "By the way, when we go down, will we see a large group of air force leaders?" ”

"It's not too much, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and also to avoid suspicion, the Air Force went to more than a dozen people. Lao Lin led the team. ”

"The planes from the Persian side are coming too fast, aren't they?" Counting the time, the sea will not be so fast.

"They used two transport planes." Liu Lao said: "We are going over now, and their transport plane is estimated to have arrived." ”

Transport!

At that time, the Persians and Americans had a close relationship, and the army was also a water of American-style equipment, not to mention the fighters, and the transport aircraft were also the main C-130 made by the United States, and there were more than 30 of them, which were quite strong in the entire bay, and it seems that the Persians are very much looking forward to assembling a new Tomcat and modifying the Hawk anti-aircraft missile!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the special plane taken by Qin Feng and Liu Lao landed on the runway of Factory 320, and at this time, there were already many people waiting on the runway.

Lin Lao and Lu Lao sat together, still discussing something, and waited until the special plane landed before coming to greet them.

"Old Liu, did you bring Xiao Feng here?" Lin Lao said with a smile: "Actually, the meeting last night is not important at all, if you don't have a meeting, you can take the special train with us." ”

"It doesn't matter what matters, although it is an economic meeting, it is related to the stability of the country, it is not a trivial matter, we have to participate in it." Liu Lao said.

Economically? Qin Feng immediately understood, it must have been a bit of a big step, and his superiors had noticed it, but this was not something to worry about, as long as no one asked, it was better for him to be an audience honestly.

"I heard that Pingwang Town has prepared in advance, and this time it should have caught up with the cusp and made a lot of money." Lin Lao looked at Qin Feng with a smile, after all, Qin Feng had also asked him to coordinate flour.

Qin Feng is a spirit, your Air Force is going to the sky, don't want to ask me for a low-cost truck again!

Fortunately, Lin Lao did not mention this stubble, after all, for the Air Force, the surveying and mapping imitation Tomcat is obviously more attractive than a few Mercedes-Benz trucks.

"They flew the C-130 here, and even if the tomcat removed its wings, it probably wouldn't fit in." Qin Feng hurriedly changed the topic.

The Tomcat fighter has a total fuselage length of 19.1 meters, a maximum wingspan length of 19.54 meters, and a fuselage height of 4.88 meters, while the C-130 cargo compartment length is only 12 meters, and the modified Lapper Extension has a cargo compartment length of only 16 meters, which makes it impossible to stuff a Tomcat with its wings removed.

Therefore, the original negotiation was by sea.

"yes, you won't be able to fit it in if you remove the wings, but if you disassemble it into parts, it's almost fine." Lu Lao said.

Variable swept wing fighters do not have stringers that penetrate from front to rear, because the central wing box is very strong, so it is enough for the front and rear stringers to be connected to the wing box.

Qin Feng frowned, did he really send himself a bunch of parts?

While speaking, the roar of the plane sounded in the sky, and under the accompaniment of the two Jian-7s, the two C-130 transport planes flew over thousands of miles, and the quality of the pilots was very high, even if it was the first time to fly in an unfamiliar airspace, they were still very skillful in aiming at the runway and landing.

The C-130 transport aircraft is a four-engine turboprop multi-purpose tactical transport aircraft developed by Lockheed in the fifties, nicknamed Hercules. It can land on the runway of a front-line airstrip, and even once strapped a rocket to a rocket in order to perform a special mission, intending to take off from a football field, and in its long service career, more than 2,300 aircraft have been produced, and a large number of modifications have been born.

Dongfang corresponds to Yun 8, but the annual output of Yun 8 is only in single digits, which cannot be compared at all.

In the eighties, the East also had the opportunity to acquire a transport aircraft of this class, but unfortunately for various reasons, it was ultimately missed.

Now, watching the C-130 landing, Qin Feng has mixed feelings, the industrial gap of the motherland is too big, the automobile industry, the aircraft industry, the shipbuilding industry...... They are all lagging behind, so we have to work hard to develop!

The plane stopped, the cargo door behind it slowly opened, and when Qin Feng looked over, he saw the various partitions inside, and sure enough, it was completely dismantled!

However, if it is dismantled, it will be dismantled, which is also beneficial, and it is easier for us to copy and map! If we send over the near-complete wreckage of the plane, we will have to disassemble it.

Moreover, the work is from the 320 factory, and you don't have to do it yourself.

The cargo compartment of C-130 was pressurized, so there were not only goods, but also personnel, and when the familiar figure walked down, Qin Feng was the first to greet him.

"Attaye, welcome to the East." Qin Feng greeted him and shook the other party's hand tightly.

"Qin, we carefully studied your plan and thought it was completely feasible, so we sent these parts." Attaye pointed behind him, "We've numbered all the parts, and we've brought some ground crew to work with you, and we're sure we'll be able to assemble the plane." ”

Qin Feng saw the smoky color on the surface of some parts, and knew what was going on, which was properly broken into parts!

"These parts need to be tested for metal flaws, even if they are intact on the outside, and if there is a problem with the internal breakage, they still cannot be used." Qin Feng cut to the point.

"Yes, there is indeed this problem, so we have prepared two sets of such large-scale stressed parts."

"What if both sets are broken?"

Ataye Language.

"We have 80,000 tons of die forging presses, and if there is internal structural damage to these body partitions and main load-bearing beams, we can help press completely new parts."

Ataye was overjoyed: "Really? That's great! ”

Not only Attaye, but also the ground crew who followed him were also shining in their eyes, and one of them said excitedly: "We have two tomcats on hand, but they can't fly because of the damage to the longitudinal beams, if you can produce the fuselage bearing beams here, then our two tomcats can be restored!" ”

In order to maintain the Tomcat fighters at hand, the Persians did their best, but they still could not guarantee the full flight ability, and even if they could fly, some Tomcats could not do large overload maneuvers, and could only be used as bombers.

Ataye heard the person behind him speak, and also reacted: "Let me introduce, this is Javed Holsidi, the best Tomcat maintenance mechanic in our base, he is familiar with every part of the Tomcat, and has also completed the overhaul of several Tomcat fighters. ”

Qin Feng greeted him, shook hands with the other party warmly, and then introduced his own personnel: "This is Lu Lao, he is responsible for assembling the Tomcat fighter and matching the Hawk air defense missile this time." ”

Liu Lao and Lin Lao had to stand aside and watch from a distance, after all, on this occasion, they were not suitable to come forward.

Looking at the group of people in the distance, Qin Feng smiled secretly in his heart, what do you mean by coming, you are lonely.

"Lu Lao lived in the West in his early years, successively engaged in aircraft design at MacDonald and Gloucester Aircraft Company, and after returning to China, he presided over the research and development of our first domestic jet trainer aircraft, and now, he is presiding over the research and development of our domestic Qiang-6, which is also a variable sweep wing."

Qin Feng told Lu Lao's resume, and these Persians all opened their eyes wide, looking at the old man in front of them who was not good-looking, but they didn't expect it to be so big.

Holsidi walked up and shook hands: "Mr. Lu, I hope we will cooperate happily in the future." ”

"In order to better help you restore the fighter, we will map every part of the fighter, so that if you need it, we will help produce it." Qin Feng looked very enthusiastic.

"Thank you, you have an 80,000-ton die forging press, and it should be no problem to press these fuselage structural frames, but there are other parts on the fighter, such as electronic systems, such as engines, especially engine ......"

Speaking of engines, Holsidy's eyes were dark.

What limits the number of their Tomcat fighters is not the fuselage, not avionics, the most important thing is the engine!

The TF30 engine used by the Tomcat fighter is only the first generation turbofan, with a maximum thrust of 93 kN and a thrust-to-weight ratio of only 5, which is not much different from Spey at the same time, because of surge and other problems, which makes the US Navy scoff, but for the Persians, this is after all the most advanced engine on the most powerful fighter they have at hand.

And during the long service life, the life of the tomcat may not be too much of a problem, but the engine is a consumable!

The original TF30 engine had a rebuild life of only 150 hours, which was similar to the bad turbojet-7 in the East, but Pratt & Whitney worked hard to improve the life of this engine, and by 72 years, the TF30-P-6 had a rebuild life of 1,000 hours, and later, it reached 1,500 hours.

It sounds like a lot, if in a normal year, an airplane flies two or three hundred hours a year, and this kind of life can be used for more than five years, but in wartime, once there is a situation, it has to be urgently lifted into the air, and it is possible to fly thousands of hours a year.

After eight years of war, the original engine of the Tomcat fighter has long reached the end of its life, the backup engine has also been used up, and the engines used as organ donation fighters have been almost consumed, and they are worried about the engine every day.

This time, I sent parts to Dongfang, and there can be two sets of other fuselage structures and frames, but there is only one set of engines, and the life span is not long, so it can fly into the sky for testing, and then fly back.

Of course, they are also trying to master the overhaul technology of the engine, strive to use their own strength to complete the overhaul of the engine, and even change the engine to better turbine blade materials, so that the engine has a longer life, but the real mastery of the overhaul technology is already a matter of the mid-nineties, before that, their Tomcat fighters have been reduced to only single digits.

At this time, hearing Holsidi's complaints, Qin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up: The opportunity has come!

When Qin Feng of later generations helped to do the supporting work of the Hawk missile, there were already some teams to help solve the overhaul of the engine, and the Persians no longer worried about the overhaul of the engine, so Qin Feng didn't know these things, and now that he has encountered it, he will slaughter them fiercely!

"Guys, we have the advanced Spey engine here, and the TF30 engine is the same level, if you are interested, we can help stuff the Spey engine into the Tomcat's body."

Lu Lao was first shocked on the side, and then he was happy.

Surveying and mapping imitation does not include the engine, otherwise the five million dollars are not enough at all, if you want to imitate the Tomcat and carry out the No. 11 project, there must be a lack of engines, at that time, Qin Feng proposed to temporarily use Spey's idea of making do, but the big guys didn't take it very seriously, after all, Spey was weak at high altitude, and the big guys knew it.

But, no matter how bad Spey is, at least it works, doesn't it? Now the Persians are worried about the engine again, and take this opportunity to stuff Spey directly into the body of the Tomcat, then they have solved a technical problem.

As for the funds, they must have come from the Persians!

"Spey engine?"

"Yes, this is an advanced turbofan engine developed by the United Kingdom, with an afterburner thrust of 91 kN, which is not much lower than the TF30, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is 5, which is the same as the TF30, and the size is about the same, as long as you need it, we can help install Spey."

As the British fooled us, we fooled the Persians.

The afterburner thrust is 91 kN, which is measured on the ground, and in the case of high altitude and high speed, the thrust will be sharply reduced, but as long as we don't say it, the Persians don't know, and by the time of the test flight, the money that should be spent has already been spent! When the tomcat exerts its strength to eat milk at high altitude, it can't soar to Mach 2, no way, admit it, Mach 2 is not low. Even if it can only fly to Mach 1.8, that's not a lot, how fast does the F-16 fly?

"You have this engine?"

"Of course, we bought a full set of technology from England in the 70s, and it cost hundreds of millions of pounds." Qin Feng said: "The British taught us the production of this kind of aircraft hand in hand, although the cost is a bit high, but we can produce it ourselves, how much we want!" ”

In fact, when the production was just to take the British blank to the trial production success, after passing the test run, the introduction of the project was declared successful, and then thrown aside, and then the flying leopard did not have an engine, and even had to buy the second-hand engine in the British inventory, because they could not produce the blank!

However, we still have a batch of Spey engines in stock, first for the Persians, with money, and potential orders, the relevant departments will definitely continue to engage in the localization of Spey, before the international situation has not changed, and then go to the British to learn rough production, maybe it can be done.

I can't figure it out, anyway, Spey is everywhere, just buy a batch and come back.

"Moreover, the potential of this engine is very great, if we succeed in matching, we can continue to improve and upgrade, the thrust exceeds 10000 N, and when the time comes, the performance of the Tomcat fighter will be stronger."

This is not bragging, several Rolls-Royce engineers modified the Spey MK202 with better parts, and they also made up a number of the MK205, which was used on the fastest sports car on land, Thrust SSC, with a thrust of up to 11.3 tons, and by changing the fan, compressor, and increasing the diameter, the afterburner version of the TF41 improved by the Americans also reached 10.3 tons.

In short, improvements are possible and the future is bright!

"Mr. Qin, if it is improved, how much will it cost?"

"We are all good friends, and we will see the outside world when we raise money, but after all, we have to do a lot of basic research, and we need research and development funds, and you will give a symbolic five million dollars, let's try it first, and then talk about it if it is not enough, as for the engine, two million dollars a unit, our own price."
