Project 33 was not selected by Lao Maozi himself for many reasons, and in terms of Lao Maozi's avionics level, it was simply impossible to install advanced avionics equipment for this light fighter, which was also an important reason.

Now, all kinds of problems have been pointed out by Qin Feng to the point, and Belyakov knows that his wishes are bankrupt.

"Comrade Belyakov, then we will first talk to the Eastern customer about the engine, we are willing to change the receiver!" Staroff finally relented.

If the Orientals are let go this time, then it will be impossible for the Orientals to turn back, and the Orientals will choose the engines of Europe, then they will not be able to make money! Moreover, some of what Qin Feng said yesterday is no problem, if their engine changes the position of the receiver, it can also be used for other single-engine fighters in the future, such as the Mirage 3.

Tu Lao and the others breathed a sigh of relief, this is the best result!

"Okay, then let's talk about changing the receiver, moving the upper receiver to the bottom, it will cost at least 30 million US dollars!" Beryakov spoke.

RD33 is just an engine designed in the sixties and seventies, and the overall performance is not advanced, even if it is modified, ten million dollars is enough, and the other party asks for thirty million dollars, of course, for more income.

"It's easy to say, we can pay you a deposit of 10 million US dollars first, and the remaining 20 million US dollars will be paid when the modification is completed, which is also an international practice." Tu Lao knew that he couldn't hesitate anymore, but fortunately, their 132 factory exported a lot of Jian-7 a few years ago, and there was still a surplus of funds.

"Ahem." Qin Feng was a little speechless, Old Tu, why are you in such a hurry?

"Well, there are two ways to pay for R&D expenses, one is direct payment, and the other is apportioned to the product." Qin Feng said: "For example, if we purchase 100 engines, then the 30 million US dollars will be apportioned, which is more than 300,000 US dollars each. If we use this method, then we not only have to talk about the modification, but also about the purchase price of the engine, and in the future, when we buy the second batch, we will definitely buy it according to the price of the first batch, so that the subsequent batches, you will be equivalent to earning more research and development funds. ”

This is indeed a common way, and the US military often likes to do this.

If it is the first way, only talk about the modified prototype, if it is the second way, then you can directly negotiate the contract of the engine!

Tu Lao reacted immediately, and nodded again and again: "That's right, our customers are in great demand, and the first batch of orders will be placed according to one hundred units!" ”

"We need at least two million dollars for one engine." Staroff spoke.

"No, at least two and a half million!" Beryakov interrupted Starov, and it seems that there is one in the negotiating team of both sides who is in a hurry.

"What our customer needed was a low-cost fighter jet, and the budget for the entire aircraft could not exceed six million." Qin Feng spoke: "We know that in a modern fighter, the airframe, avionics and engine each account for one-third, that is to say, the price of the engine cannot exceed two million, and we also need to have a certain profit, so, together with the apportioned research and development costs, how about one million and eight million?" ”

"Hmph, if you go to buy Western engines, it will definitely be more than this price!" Beryakov, of course, disagrees.

"Yes, engines in the West will definitely be expensive, but ...... Ladies and gentlemen, you have not dealt with the West, and you do not know what the West counts. Qin Feng said: "The West not only calculates the cost of procurement, but also calculates the cost of the whole life, do you understand? Let me give you an example! ”

"For example, the purchase of our RD33 engine, one 1.8 million, but the overhaul life is only more than 300 hours, and the whole life is only 1,000 hours, and the purchase of Western engines, the overhaul life is 1,000 hours, the full life is 3,000 hours, so that even if the Western engine is sold for 5 million, or even higher, it is still a cost-effective price for the West, do you understand?"

Originally, Beryakov was still confident, after all, their engines are cheap, and customers should choose cheap ones, but ...... Now listening to Qin Feng say this, I suddenly feel that I don't seem to have any advantages on my side, and the whole life cost is higher!

"Moreover, the engine has a long life, it is easy to maintain, and the aircraft has a higher sortie efficiency, which engine do you think is better?"

The old hairymen stopped talking.

Qin Feng smiled: "However, we prefer to recommend the RD33 engine to customers, the short life means that during the life of the aircraft, the engine has to be changed several times, these are all endless business!" If you think about it, we order 100 units now, which means that there will be 200 units or 300 units in the future, and customers can only use RD33, and cannot replace other engines, otherwise they will not match. ”

"That's right, that's right, as you say, $1.8 million!" Staroff's face was full of excitement, he seemed to have seen countless orders, that's right, as long as the customer's aircraft uses their engine, it will have to be theirs when it is replaced in the future!

"Okay, then we'll decide the price." Qin Feng nodded, in fact, six million dollars a plane was the price of Lao Ba's Sabre 2 plan just now, and later with the continuous research and development, Lao Ba also knew that this price could not be handled, and then it was raised to eight million, and finally to ten million, but Lao Maozi didn't know!

Tu Lao and Mr. Sun both shut up, no one spoke, this negotiation is still the most appropriate to hand over to Qin Feng, seeing that he is simple, he fooled Lao Maozi around.

Lao Maozi is interested in the steady stream of profits after that, but what Qin Feng wants is actually a hammer deal!

"Okay, will you just place an order for a hundred units?"

"We will build a prototype first, at least five will be needed, we will place an order for five engines first, give you a down payment of 20%, and give the rest when it is delivered."

"No, at least a hundred!" Lao Maozi was not confused, he reacted immediately, he just said that there were 100 units, and in a blink of an eye, it became five?

"You should know that our customers don't like this kind of engine, in addition to the technical and political uncertainties, we only build a prototype first, and the customer sees it and is satisfied with it, and then we place an order." Qin Feng said: "The money for these five prototypes belongs to us in advance, and the deposit for the next 100 engines is directly transferred by the customer, after all, we don't have so much money!" ”

Lao Maozi's face softened a little, which is indeed the truth.

"Five engines, that's nine million dollars, we paid so much ourselves, can we still let it go down the drain? It must be sold to customers, don't you think that's the truth? ”

"Well, okay." Starov looked at Beryakov again: "Comrade Beryakov, what do you think?" ”

Today's negotiation project, which was originally planned to sell project 33 to the Orientals, has now turned into selling engines, and in the whole process, the people of the Mikoyan Design Bureau seem to have become soy sauce makers, and Beryakov is a little unwilling in his heart.

But...... It's okay to give the engine, but not to the engine's information, and when the time comes, these people will have to come to their own side! This money can still be earned, first sign a contract with them, and when they get the engine, they won't install it, don't you still have to ask for help?

So, Beryakov nodded: "Okay, then let's follow this plan." ”

That's it! Originally, it took 30 million to change the engine, but now, 9 million can buy five modified engines! Tu Lao was completely convinced of Qin Feng's ability to fool.

It took two more days to negotiate the details of the contract and draw up the contract, and the number of the single issue became the new RD93, and after the two parties signed the agreement, the matter was completed.

At this time, Tu Lao was already like an arrow.

With the engine and the people, the Super Seven project can go on with its own strength!

On the plane back, Tu Lao was a little impatient.

"Mr. Qin, how is that Bezlyutko now?"

"I think I've already arrived at your 132 factory." Qin Feng said: "I don't know the specific situation, I'll know when I go back." ”

"Mr. Qin, I invite you to go to our 132 factory together, you are the hero of our Super Seven project!"

Qin Feng smiled: "Of course I have to go, I have to see how Bezlyutko is doing on your side, after all, he was invited by me." ”

This way of inviting people is unique, and it is estimated that Bezlyutko will never forget it for the rest of his life, but this is also for his good, after all, the Mikoyan Design Bureau will soon go downhill, and the MiG-1.44 project will also end without a hitch, or it is more promising to come to the East, even if Bezlyutko knows what Qin Feng has done in the future, he will have to be grateful to Qin Feng.

Huangtianba, Sichuan Province.

This was originally just a wasteland, during the Anti-Japanese War, the government at that time withdrew into Sichuan Province, built an airport here, and often became the target of the little devils, and so on until the establishment of New China in 1956, after the second batch of projects to aid the construction of the aviation industry was signed, the superiors decided to establish 132 factories, just using the airport built here before, so the original desolate suburbs gradually developed.

As for the 611 institutes in the same city, they were established for the Jianjiu project, which was already in 1970.

After the opening of the country, the 132 factory engaged in foreign trade in the name of Chengdu Aircraft Company, and also engaged in the conversion of military to civilian, the chairs of the buses in the city were written with the name of Chengfei's factory, and they had also built a partial nephew, but the focus was still on engaging in military industry and building aircraft.

After countless pairs of labor, Factory 132 and the surrounding neighborhoods have developed, a thriving scene.

Bezlyutko stepped down from 212 and stood at the door of Factory 132, he had a familiar feeling.

From the factory gate to the inside, to the factory, to the workshop, to the family home, and even the roadside transformer, it is so familiar, exactly the same as Mikoyan's aircraft factory! Whether it is the location, the layout, or the style of the building, it gives him a sense of intimacy.

This is also easy to understand, after all, the design drawings of the factory were taken from Lao Maozi.

At that time, the drawings of the Mikoyan factory were used to establish the 112 factory, and the 132 factory is a copy of the 112 factory, which is naturally the same, and there is no need to find someone to design it again, as long as the construction is carried out against the drawings.

"Mr. Bezlyutko, let's go in, will you first look at the factory, or will you see your residence? We've set up a two-bedroom apartment for you. Factory director Hou Wu said with a smile.

The deputy chief designer of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, in charge of the power system, is simply tailor-made for their 132 factory design room! You have to entertain this old man, and he will play the role of the main beam in the future! After Hou Wu received the news, he immediately arranged a reception in the factory, so that the frightened old Maozi designer could experience the warmth of home.

"I'll take a look at your Super Seven project first!" Bezlyutko said: "Aren't you planning to install RD33 engines on this aircraft? I'll see if the fuselage matches. ”

"Okay, let's go, go to our factory design office."

According to the arrangement of the year, the 132 factory does not need the design ability at all, and the full set of drawings and materials only need to be transferred from the 112 factory, but when the information comes, someone must understand it! After understanding, someone also needs to convert the drawings into parts, and not all of the workers recruited back then are proficient.

Therefore, the 132 factory set up its own design room, which was originally used to digest and absorb the design data and transform it into products, but later, when the country opened, they needed to sell the J-7, and the customer put forward a lot of requirements, there was no way, they could only catch the ducks on the shelves and start to design. With the introduction of Marconi's avionics, they also needed to install the avionics equipment on their own.

In this way, the design office of the 132 factory gradually has the ability to develop research and development, but compared with the professional aircraft design institute, there is still a big gap, they only have a technical bull to slaughter the old, and the other people are average, so when the super seven were engaged, Lao Ba insisted on letting Grumman take the lead.

Fortunately, the 132 factory did not agree at that time, otherwise after the project was yellow, the 132 factory would have no information, and the bamboo basket was empty, and now, they at least have a full set of technical information.

Factory design office.

Zhao Zhanliang, the technical backbone who stayed in the 132 factory, turned on the slide projector, put on a slide, and began to introduce Bezlyutko.

"We know that the biggest disadvantage of the J-7, that is, the MiG-21, is that because of the use of nose air intake, there is no way to install large-caliber radar, in today's over-the-horizon air combat has gradually become the mainstream, this aircraft will definitely not be able to meet the needs of customers, so, we have improved from J-7 to Super Seven, the main idea is to improve the nose air intake to both sides of the air intake, at the same time, in order to improve the range, the customer asked to change the engine, the original choice was the American F404, and now it is changed to RD33."

Bezlyutko looked at the released photo with suspicion in his eyes: "This is not a two-sided air intake!" ”

"Yes, our original plan was to plan the air intakes on both sides, but, after several years of research, Grumman proposed to move the air intakes downwards and tilt them 10 degrees inward, and at the same time, the wings were changed to 40-degree swept wings with edge strips."

In the era of second-generation aircraft, air intake on both sides is more common, that is, the air intake duct is on both sides of the fuselage, which makes the nose empty, but there are also many defects, such as when steering, the air intake on one side will be blocked by the fuselage, resulting in a decrease in air intake efficiency, especially when climbing at high angles of attack, the air intake efficiency will also be reduced.

Therefore, in the era of the third-generation aircraft, it will be replaced with the belly air intake, so that only when the aircraft dives, the nose will block the air intake, but the dive does not need sufficient power, and the engine can still soar when it is stopped.

However, the belly air intake has high requirements for the airport, and in case there is debris, it is easy to suck it in and damage the engine, so when various situations are considered, there is a two-rib air intake, which is lower than the air intake on both sides and higher than the belly air intake, so it is perfect.

As for the wing, the original J-7 used a delta wing, this airfoil is a high-altitude high-speed airfoil to reach Mach 2 speed, and the maneuverability is not good.

"Since you want to change, you might as well continue to improve." Bezlyutko spoke: "Since the wing surface is similar to the F-16, why don't the edge strips in front of it be enlarged?" This can pull a larger vortex, now this design, better than nothing, the edge strip can also be extended backwards to the flat tail part, so that the flat tail also has a high enough aerodynamic efficiency, the whole fuselage can also become a lifting body layout ......"

Although Bezlyutko is mainly engaged in power design, after all, he is the candidate for the chief designer of the competition, so he also has strong technical strength.

If it's just a simple improvement, change the nose, change the engine, then follow the simple improvement, if you want to make a big change, then simply play a big one, such a small fight, there is no point.

"The leading edge of the wing can also be increased, and it should also be equipped with flaps to increase take-off and landing performance, and by the way, the landing gear will simply be changed to become an outer figure-eight landing gear that receives the inside of the belly, so that the wings are all vacant and there can be more pylons."

Zhao Zhanliang was stunned, in this way, wouldn't it mean that the design of their aircraft was completely overturned? Where can I still see the shadow of J-7? With their small factory design room, can they complete such a complex work?

However, at this time, Bezlyutko was gushing and full of interest, obviously, he came to the East, he was going to do a big job, he wanted to prove himself, even if he left the Mikoyan Design Bureau, he was still the best aircraft designer, he wanted to design the most advanced light fighter in the world!

The foundation of the J-7 is there, no matter how it is changed, it cannot really confront the third-generation aircraft, even according to Lao Ba's original idea, it is only to make the Sabre-2 reach 80% of the performance of the F-16, and now, Bezlyutko's plan is to make the J-7 completely reborn, and it can completely work against the F-16 head-on, and even ensure that it will not fall behind for 30 years!
