Chapter 205 Take the first step first

As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the small room, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

The man in the tunic suit sitting in the center smiled and said:
"It's not from your system that you want to award him a medal. Don't forget, I'm the leader of the sedan chair project leadership team. I haven't said anything yet, so you're rushing to get the medal?"

"Then what's the point of posting one! You post it again!"

The man in military uniform replied indifferently, then walked back to his seat and sat down again.

The man in the Chinese tunic looked at his expression and smiled helplessly, and replied:
"It's not impossible for you to send one, but don't make a big fanfare and keep a low profile. In addition, after the main topic is over, we will also discuss it seriously. We should give him some rewards this time."

"Starting from the chip project, in fact, we haven't given Ye Zhou any actual rewards. Although his status and decision-making power in our organization are constantly rising, we still don't care enough about his life. Make it up by the way."

Hearing this, the man in military uniform said in agreement:

"It should be a reward. But to be honest, there is nothing worthy of the achievements he made. When the time comes, don't mention it as a reward, just say it is the organization's concern for him." .”

"Being able to achieve his level, I guess what he cares about is not rewards, but recognition, just like when we fight, the spoils of war are secondary, and the recognition of the people after the victory is the main thing."

The man in the tunic suit nodded and replied:
"What you said makes sense. Xiao Qin, write this down first. Alright, let's discuss the main topic first: Now that the high-thrust engine is out, how will we go about the Nantianmen project and our military aviation development? Let’s start with the experts first, Mr. Liu, let’s talk first.”

The man calling the roll was Liu Xuefeng, one of the top experts in the field of aviation development in China. He sat up slightly and said:
"To be honest, this bridal sedan chair project has greatly exceeded my expectations. Our previous judgment was that the thrust of the first prototype could reach 50 tons at most. Under extremely optimistic circumstances, it would be considered good if it could reach 60 tons. "

"I didn't expect them to achieve the ultimate goal of the project in one go. I didn't take the figure of 120 tons to heart at all before."

"So, because of this situation, many of the plans that our expert group envisioned have basically failed."

"For example, we thought about transplanting this engine to the Kunpeng, and envisioned many plans. Now it seems that we have to re-plan. The fuselage structure of Kunpeng needs to be redesigned. Otherwise, this engine will be installed. It is estimated that a little more power will push the plane to supersonic speed."

"Now the total thrust of our four WS-4s is less than 20 tons. If we want to replace them all with Qilian engines, the total thrust of the four will be 60 ​​tons."

Having said that, Liu Xuefeng shook his head, and joked consciously:
"Why don't you simply replace the fuselage with steel plates? It is estimated that it can withstand supersonic speed. If the world's first large-scale supersonic heavy transport aircraft adds two cannons, it is not the same as what their young people said on the Internet, 59 Did you go to heaven?"

Everyone else in the room laughed, and after a pause, Liu Xuefeng continued:

"Speaking seriously, based on the results of the sedan chair project this time, I have some preliminary ideas, but they were thought of in a hurry. You can discuss them later."

"First of all, as I said, the Yun-20 will definitely use this engine, so we need to make comprehensive improvements to its fuselage structure and build it into a platform-style aircraft. Pay attention to the modular design, so that it can not only undertake the transportation function, but also undertake the functions of air refueling, combat and so on."

"For specific reference directions, we can touch the stones of Ugly Country and copy their AC130."

"The second point is that the reverse engineering of the Qilian engine needs to be started immediately. We need to replicate the key technology of the engine and apply it to the engine with a small bypass ratio—the turbofan 18 project can apply these achievements."

"Our goal is to use the technology accumulated on the Qilian engine to improve the technology of military engines at the fastest speed, surpassing the F135-PW-100 engine in a short period of time in the future, and the thrust target should reach more than 30 tons."

As soon as he finished speaking, a member of the expert group raised his hand and interrupted:
"Is the 30-ton thrust goal a little too far ahead? How long do you plan to set for this short period of time?"

The thrust of a small bypass ratio engine is different from that of a large bypass ratio engine. The most advanced F135-PW-100 engine in the world can only reach about 20 tons of thrust. Therefore, the goal of 30 tons of thrust is actually not easy. ——Even with Qi Lian's technology accumulation bonus.

"The goal of 30 tons is indeed very challenging, but Ye Zhou has already paved the way for us. Are we so unsatisfied? Shouldn't we? We need to be ambitious!"

"Short time means within six months! By September this year, we must see the new engine on the car!"

"The J-20's fuselage strength is sufficient now. With a 30-ton engine, it can fly up to Mach 3.5. With the star rock coating of the Sanchi Research Institute, the problem of heat insulation is not too big. I think it can Give it a try!"

After answering the question, Liu Xuefeng continued:
"I have a third idea, and this idea is relatively advanced. I think that in addition to our Kunpeng platform, the large aerial platform mentioned in the Nantianmen plan can also be designed."

"It doesn't mean that we need to produce results in a short period of time, but we need to start, so that in the end, when the engine is built and the platform is not set up, it will be very annoying."

"Okay, that's all I'll say for the time being, other comrades should also express their opinions."

After speaking, he picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, looking expectantly at the other members of the expert group.

However, his plan has basically covered most of the short-term directions based on the Qilian engine, and others have nothing to add.

Looking at the silent crowd, the man in the Chinese tunic coughed, and then said:
"Old Liu's plan is very good, down-to-earth, steady and professional. I think his ideas also represent the ideas of most comrades in the expert group."

"However, I personally think that these plans are a little conservative for us as a whole."

"Of course, I'm not accusing you of being short-sighted here, but I want to express my thoughts from the perspective of the overall situation."

"First of all, we still insist on one idea. Since we want to do something, we must do big things! We must not be timid and look forward and backward."

"Secondly, our field of vision should not be limited to the Nantianmen project. It is true that the Nantianmen project is a mature, complete, and highly forward-looking project, but this does not mean that it can cover all aspects of aviation development. direction."

"We must free our minds, fully think and try. Then, in this short ten minutes, I mainly envisage the following directions, and ask the comrades in the expert group to evaluate the feasibility."

"The first point is that the Qilian engine can't just be used in the military field. We need to promote it to the civilian field, develop our own large commercial aircraft, and establish our own air routes."

"Now, we already have the Maritime Silk Road. If we can gain a leading edge in the aviation field, then we can build our own, the Air Silk Road."

"Secondly, we need to quickly start upgrading the current projects, especially the strategic bomber project. We need to make two preparations. First, a hypersonic strategic bomber based on Qilian technology; second, a hypersonic strategic bomber based on Qilian engine itself. Super payload stealth bomber."

"According to what Lao He said, the former is used to kick the door, and the latter is used to cover."

"The third point is that we will continue to optimize the Qilian engine, further increase the thrust of the engine, and use the combination of rocket engine and aeroengine to develop our own space shuttle as soon as possible. advantages in the space domain.”

"The Nantianmen project will take another 25 years. We can't wait until we have learned somersaulting clouds before we learn from it."

"Starting today, we will make full use of the current technology to pave the first step for the future Nantianmen project."

"The sea of ​​stars and stars is right in front of us, this step, we have to go out now!"
