Chapter 314 is actually very simple
Lao Maozi agreed so readily, which made everyone present feel a little unbelievable. Shouldn't Lao Maozi consider it carefully? This is a major event related to their future destiny! Why is it so easy in the other person's mouth?
Later, the two sides became very familiar with each other. Zhou Zhengguo, who was promoted to the chief designer of the H-6 modification, asked this question. At that time, Kowalski smiled lightly: "For us, this is a small matter. A very small thing."
For an aircraft, changing the engine is very important, but in the eyes of Lao Maozi, it is nothing at all!
After all, how many aircraft has Dongfang designed? Take the factory in the old district in front of you as an example. There are only three types: H-6, Yun-7, and J-H-7. But what about Lao Maozi? The Antonov Design Bureau produced dozens of aircraft models.
Engineering is something that affects the entire system. It is not just about plugging in a new engine. It will bring changes to the entire system of the aircraft, so you must be careful.
However, Lao Maozi has done these things countless times, and it is easy to replace various engines.
However, since Kowalski and the others agreed to stay, Qin Tao has accomplished one thing. Next, he still has many things to be busy with.
703 institutes.
“You have organized these materials in such detail that it is unbelievable. You have used those scratch papers to compile so much information.” Sergey looked at the contents of the data room and was very emotional.
"So, how long do you think it will take us to use this information, plus the process materials and other information obtained from this transaction, to produce the same type of gas turbine?" Wen Gong asked Sergey excitedly.
Sergey came here with a large number of technical personnel from the Shuguang Design Bureau and a group of technical personnel from the Southern Steam Turbine Factory. With their arrival, the 703 Institute was already full of confidence and expected to make a breakthrough.
“If we just copy the UGT15000, I think we can produce a prototype in two years!” Sergey came to a conclusion.
“Two years? That’s great!” At this moment, a voice sounded outside the reference room.
Sergey looked over in surprise and saw a familiar figure.
“Qin?”
Qin Tao nodded: "Well, it's me. We said goodbye in a hurry last time and have been busy since then, so I didn't pay attention. I have time today, so I came over to see how it goes. Are you used to living here? "
Sergey nodded: "Well, I'm still used to it. The climate is similar to that of Siberia. This is also a steam turbine production plant. We are confident that we can transform this place into a gas turbine production plant!"
Southern Steam Turbine Factory originally produced steam turbines. Later, it transformed gas turbines for ships, which were very successful. Now, Sergey believes that the same transformation can be carried out here, and the same success can be achieved!
"Imitating UGT15000 is only the first step. What is more important for us is to improve this gas turbine, improve its power performance and reduce its fuel consumption. What we need to install in large quantities on ships in the future is gas turbines like UGT25000." Qin Tao He spoke.
"This is exactly the ideal of us people." Sergey said: "We were willing to come to the East because we wanted to continue to develop advanced gas turbines. As long as we have enough capital investment and time, we will definitely be able to develop advanced gas turbines. Made.”
“Don’t worry, we will give you both money and time.” A person behind Qin Tao said.
“Leader Wu?” Wen Gong and others shouted excitedly.
Wu Shengli and Qin Tao came here according to their own schedules without any discussion, but they didn't expect that they would meet here.
Qin Tao is not from the Navy, he is just the boss of the shipbuilding group, and he has nothing to do with the 703 Institute. However, he was the one who poached these old guys like Sergey, from scrap paper to the current technical information and craftsmanship. Even the equipment was brought here with his help, so when people here see him, they become more friendly.
As for Wu Shengli, that is their superior leader.
Qin Tao looked at Wu Shengli in surprise, Dad, are you following me on purpose? If you tell me in advance, I will definitely let you go ahead!
After getting excited, Wen Gong quickly introduced it to Sergey and others.
“This person is an important leader of our navy.”
Sergey’s expression became serious.
"This leader, what kind of development plan does your navy have? As far as I know, the main force of your navy is the modified version of our Type 56 destroyer in the 1950s. This warship bears the shadow of World War II. , has been serving in your company until now."
In the eyes of ordinary people, Sergey's words were a bit excessive, but Leader Wu was not dissatisfied. He nodded: "Yes, the main warships of our navy have long been out of touch with this era, so , we need to catch up with the world's advanced pace. In the 1980s, we imported the LM2500 gas turbine from the West and realized the advanced nature of this gas turbine, which also strengthened our navy's determination to use gas turbines for modern warships."
“It is precisely because of this that we are very interested in the Dawn Alliance, developing cooperative relations, and even inviting you here.” Wu Shengli wanted to continue talking, but Qin Tao finally couldn’t help it.
"Sergey, please rest assured that as long as the UGT15000 is copied, our navy will be able to order at least four units, or even more. As for the gas turbines of the same level as the UGT25000, the navy will have a demand for at least two to four units every year. You The advanced gas turbines developed will accompany the main warships of our navy sailing on the ocean. Our displacement will also increase from six to seven thousand tons to more than ten thousand tons. If you spend your efforts now, you will be satisfied in the future. .”
As my father-in-law, my answer is wrong! I am worried that the research will be useless?
You just need to say that it is useful for birds. Birds, how can they be useless?
Our navy will have to make dumplings in the future. Warships are being built vigorously, and there is a lot of demand for gas turbines. In the future, you will see the gas turbines you develop and produce accompanying our warships sailing around the world!
Wu Shengli was stunned, and then realized: "Yes, our navy will soon usher in a period of explosive growth. Dozens of the navy's main destroyers will be produced, all of which will use the gas turbines you developed!"
After receiving Wu Shengli’s assurance, Sergey nodded.
He left Er Mao because he already knew that what he had learned would be of no use. Er Mao's navy did not need large warships, and Da Mao would not order warships from Er Mao. Their gas turbine development was already a painting. It's over.
When they come to the East, their abilities will have a stage to display, and they will also gain a sense of accomplishment!
“By the way, Wen Gong, have you taken our consultant to the computer room of the design office?” Qin Tao asked.
The conditions for these old people are too difficult. Modern computer-aided design is so popular, and they are not fully equipped yet.
Sergey nodded: "Yes, I have already seen it. These computer-aided designs are really good. If we want to improve the existing gas turbine, we can add a zero stage in front. Computer-aided design will be faster. "
Although relevant technologies will be exchanged with the Sugon Consortium, their main group of designers have already come to the east. Therefore, Sergey can guess that even if they get the technical information there, they will not be able to digest it. Sugon On the Union side, I'm afraid it's going to be downhill from now on.
"The hardware of our domestic research institutes will gradually become in line with the West, providing our designers with a better research environment. By the way, some aviation units will also cooperate. After all, this is still a steam turbine. Production plants, gas turbines and other components can be produced by them, and they also have better materials that can improve performance."
When talking about this, Qin Tao thought of something else and continued to explain.
"Moreover, we can also use some of the world's advanced technological concepts to give new gas turbines better performance. For example, an intercooler is installed between the low-pressure compressor and the high-pressure compressor. This design is expected to be able to The thermal efficiency of the gas turbine increases to about 40 percent.”
What Qin Tao said is already the design concept of the domestic QC280 gas turbine. Although this gas turbine is considered to be an imitation of the UGT25000 gas turbine, it has still been improved in many places.
In fact, like car engines, turbocharging requires the addition of an intercooler, which is to cool the compressed air. Thermal expansion and contraction are basic physical principles. After cooling, there will be more air in the same volume. As more air enters, the front compressor will compress more air and do more work in the combustion chamber, increasing power and thermal efficiency.
Sergey nodded and looked at Qin Tao with complex eyes: "Mr. Qin, some of the concepts you mentioned are always at the forefront of the world. We are very impressed that you are so knowledgeable."
“Where, where.” Qin Tao was rarely humble.
That evening, Wu Shengli hosted the banquet, and all the old men attended the banquet. The atmosphere was very friendly. Thinking of the scene in their hometown, these old men couldn't help but sigh, they made the right choice to come to the East!
After the banquet was over, Qin Tao and Wu Shengli stayed in a room in the guest house and chatted about everything.
“Taozi, are you really sure that we can launch one or two destroyers every year in the future?” When Wu Shengli was speaking, he did not look at Qin Tao. He just lay there and looked at the ceiling, as if he was longing for something.
"You are not the same. You say you need thirty new destroyers, and one or two are launched a year, but it will take twenty years."
“I said it according to your thinking.”
"I'm serious." Qin Tao said: "When our country's economy develops further and our related systems are mature, our destroyers will definitely be built in batches. By the way, over there at the 14th Institute How is the development of the phased array radar going?"
I haven’t paid attention to it for a while recently. I don’t know how it’s going over there!
“What? You don’t actually invite bids?”
“What kind of bids are you inviting? It’s just a weapons test ship. It doesn’t cost much. You already have a lot of warship projects in Mingzhou. You can’t just eat all the cake!”
"Okay." Qin Tao said, "We don't care about these three melons and two dates."
“Tomorrow, let’s go to the 601st Institute. The Air Force is very anxious.”
“I plan to go back to Mingzhou and go to Huating to meet Xiaoling. I have been married for several years and I don’t have any children yet.”
"Let's talk about it when we get back. This matter is of great importance. Our navy is also planning to buy back the production line of the Su-27 fighter jet!" Wu Shengli said: "This person must put his work and career first. Look at me, your mother and I are almost forty, and we only have Xiaoling."
That’s you! I can't! Qin Tao thought so in his heart, but did not dare to say it out.
The two were silent for a while, and Wu Shengli continued: "Taozi, have you ever felt anything unusual while running outside in the past two years?"
"Abnormal?" Qin Tao thought for a moment: "You mean, someone is secretly protecting this matter?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." Wu Shengli turned his head and glanced at Qin Tao: "I know your character and don't want to have people around you all the time, just like monitoring you. However, your safety is very important, so the superiors decided , in addition to the people who protect you secretly, you will also be assigned a bodyguard to protect you personally, combining light and dark, which is safer."
People like Qin Tao who are used to wandering outside must like the feeling of being unrestrained. It's okay to send someone to protect him secretly. If you arrange a bodyguard for him in the open and follow him every day, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.
So, when Wu Shengli said this, he was a little worried. What if Qin Tao resisted?
However, Qin Tao didn't seem to resist, but instead became excited.
"Bodyguards? Where do they come from? Or the Longyan Special Forces? How many can one person fight? Do you have a killing license?"
These questions made Wu Shengli a little unable to adapt. If it was the former, he could still understand. What was going on with the Dragon Flame Special Forces behind them?
“How come I haven’t heard of the name of the Long Yan Special Forces?”
"I've never heard of it, how could it be possible? This special force is awesome. It is a force as famous as the US Navy SEALs, Lao Maozi's Alpha Special Forces, etc.! The commander is unknown, the number of people is unknown, and it is a US first-level secret. The report in the file is only one page! Therefore, it is also called the Shadow Special Forces. A few years ago, on the southern border, this force was dispatched and tortured monkeys to death."
“It’s so top-secret that even I don’t know?”
“Wait a minute, did I say the name wrong? It’s not two fires, but three fires, called Long Yan?” Qin Tao continued to ponder.
"Nothing." Wu Shengli said: "Anyway, at my level, I have never come into contact with them. At the southern border, the people who came into contact with the monkeys were indeed a group of elite soldiers, but they were also conducted by the reconnaissance company of ordinary troops. To say that I’ve never heard of this kind of special forces.”
"No?"
"Yes." Wu Shengli was very sure: "When it comes to special forces, here, there is a Siberian Tiger special force. It belongs to the sea, land and air amphibious special forces. It is selected from the three armed forces and is directly under the high-level command. During the war, they were mainly responsible for attacking enemy airfields, command centers and radar warning stations."
Wu Shengli explained the mission of this special force, and then continued his analysis: "However, special forces and bodyguards are different. Special forces practice killing skills, while bodyguards practice the skills of protecting people. If you find someone from the special forces, I am here to be your bodyguard. When encountering a situation, instead of standing up to protect you, I rush to fight the enemy. That is incompetent."
Qin Tao put his hand on his forehead.
The father-in-law is right. It is good to let the special forces fight the war, but if they are to be used as bodyguards, there may be some oversights.
“Okay, then don’t choose among the special forces. I don’t have any opinions on where to send people, but they must understand technology and need to be a bodyguard and secretary. By the way, they cannot be women.”
The role of a secretary is one that always accompanies oneself. As the saying goes, love grows with time. As we stay together for a long time and experience many things, the seeds of love will gradually sprout. Qin Tao is a dedicated person. Although he has not had time to spend time with his wife recently, his relationship has not weakened because of this. Qin Tao does not want any accidents to happen.
Wu Shengli glanced at Qin Tao seriously, with approval in his eyes, and then said: "This is natural, the bodyguards are all of the same sex, so we can be together when going to the toilet."
Qin Tao's feelings for Zhao Ling are sincere and his thinking is rigorous. However, it seems that he has not hired a professional bodyguard. It is convenient for him to be of the same sex.
Well, I am too worried.
The matter of bodyguards is settled.
I originally thought there would be twists and turns, but I didn’t expect it to be very simple.
I don’t know when, the conversation in the room stopped, even breathing sounded, and Qin Tao gradually fell asleep.
The next day, 601.
This is a long-established aviation research institute in China. When MiG aircraft were introduced, they were produced here. Later, in order to prepare for war, a new aircraft factory and research institute were built in the Land of Abundance.
The layout of the entire research institute and aircraft factory also bears the shadow of the MiG factory.
The building is in the Soviet style, and all have narrow windows. It is estimated that even a fat thief cannot get through.
A fighter jet with a slender body was standing quietly on the tarmac. A dozen people were surrounding the plane, thinking about something.
"J-82 is currently the most advanced fighter jet produced in our country." Seeing this aircraft from a distance, Wu Shengli talked to Qin Tao: "Currently, our naval aviation also regards it as a key model. Used to equip the most elite troops." (It seems that the J-8II looks more pleasing to the eye.)
The fuselage is very long, the vertical tail is tall, and the green radome on the nose looks somewhat modern.
Looking at the plane, Qin Tao also felt a little emotional.
There is no way, the current aviation strength of the country is like this!
The only mature advanced aircraft in China is the J-7, which is an aircraft developed on the basis of the MiG-21. Later, in order to meet the needs of high altitude and high speed, the designers enlarged it and turned it into a dual launch layout. In this way, it became A true interceptor aircraft.
Later, a MiG-23 was obtained from some special channels. After careful study, the designers docked the MiG-23's nose to the front of the J-8, and finally changed the air intake from the nose to The air intake on both sides is somewhat modern.
The nose of the aircraft is free, and a large-diameter radar can be installed, allowing this interceptor to exert greater strength, but now...
"Unfortunately, what we currently lack is radar." A technician said: "If we still cooperate with the United States and get the F-16 radar, our fighter will immediately have all-round combat capabilities, especially It’s a beyond-visual-range attack capability, what a pity!”
A few years ago, when it was still in the honeymoon period with the West, two J-82s were sent to the United States for modern improvements.
For example, using the improved radar and airborne electronic equipment based on the AN/APG-66 of the F-16A/B, installing a new inertial navigation system, HUD, and mission atmospheric data computer; and modifying the aircraft's body structure and adding front wing Edge **** are used to increase the turning angle speed, and structured fuel tanks are used to increase the aircraft's range.
It can be said that these modifications will make the aircraft completely different and be able to mount domestically produced Aspaid air-to-air missiles with Italian technology, allowing domestic aviation forces to obtain the most anticipated beyond-visual-range air combat capabilities.
Even, in order to increase power, there is also a version using the American F404 turbofan engine, which will nearly double the range!
However, the modification ended in vain, and the J-82 completely lost any secrets in front of the Americans.
It’s useless to rely on others, you can only rely on yourself!
"Huh, are you still cooperating with the United States? What's the use of cooperating with the United States? It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others!" Another technician said.
“Ourselves? What do we have? Look, this 208 radar can’t do anything!”
At present, the only mature one is the 208-type airborne radar developed from the original 204 airborne radar. It has a radar antenna like a pot lid and a single-pulse system. It is actually at the level of a radar range finder, with a maximum detection range. It is only 40 kilometers away and does not have beyond-visual-range air combat capability at all.
“Yes, this radar can’t do anything. Our domestic technology is too backward.”
“Our technology is lagging behind. After all, we have been delayed for many years. However, we must believe that domestic scientific research institutes will work hard to catch up and surpass them as soon as possible.” A strange voice sounded.
Everyone looked up, and then Sun Chong shouted in surprise: "Leader Wu, Mr. Qin, are you here?"
