Rule department scholar

It can be said now that the technology is almost mature, and it is perfectly matched with the engine, and the speed is too fast for people to react.

Zhang Gangchuan really couldn't imagine why Zhao Yi could be so powerful, and the 'sci-fi' fighter he designed could be perfected quickly and reached this level.

In addition, the WZ-1 engine has already been debugged, and it can be said to form a perfect match with the Warhawk-[-].

Think again……

The Kunlun group has a lot of technical talents, not to mention the delay in debugging the Kunlun engine, and the debugging of the next-level WZ II engine has been delayed until now, and there are still many small problems.

The Warhawk team completed the design, debugging, and improvement of the highest-end engines and fighter jets; the Kunlun team debugged a low-end engine, which has not been able to complete until now.

Compare the two.

Zhang Gangchuan was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, he could only think with a wry smile, "You can't compare with Zhao Yi! You can't compare with Zhao Yi! That's not human! It's not human..."

This kind of brainwashing still has a certain effect.

When he returned to the exhibition hall and found a group of people surrounding the Kunlun II engine booth, Zhang Gangchuan felt even more depressed.

As the leader of an engine project team with a more technical orientation, Zhang Gangchuan thinks he is still proud of a scholar. His pride does not allow him to stand on the booth and engage in "commercial deceit"...

That's right!

My job now is to fool around!

The name of wz-[-] engine was changed to Kunlun-[-] engine. It was a matter of confidentiality considerations, but there was no perfect engine, but it was said at the booth that it was perfect enough to support mass production and export?

"Isn't this equivalent to deceiving people!"

"It was still a large group of relevant media reporters, aviation professionals, and even representatives of some countries' air forces..."

Zhang Gangchuan suddenly felt that he was a high-end 'liar' who actually fooled aviation experts in the aviation field.

"It's nothing special..."

There was bitterness in his heart, but he had to keep smiling, as if everything was under control and he had absolute confidence.

Then, he walked over.

"Mr. Zhang is here! It's Mr. Zhang!"

"I'm coming!"

"Zhang Gangchuan, chief designer of Zhang, one of the bosses of domestic aviation, a real boss! He has always been the leader of the Kunlun team!"

"When it comes to aero engines, Zhang Gangchuan is second to none in China!"

"..."

A large group of media reporters surrounded him, and the lights of the cameras flashed non-stop. They greeted Zhang Gangchuan as if they were treating a star.

Zhang Gangchuan stood at position C again, and a European reporter immediately asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, is this engine loaded on the J-40 fighter jet?"

"It's inconvenient to disclose."

Zhang Gangchuan shook his head with a smile, "The only thing I can tell you is that the J-40 is equipped with the latest engine developed by the aviation group and with the highest international performance."

This answer is very official.

The surrounding media reporters nodded in understanding. They have long been accustomed to the official way of speaking, and they have to understand every sentence deeply.

An old reporter explained to the young reporter next to him, "You must distinguish the meaning of the words, I have a lot of experience."

"Just now he said that it is inconvenient to disclose. If you understand it as confidential and can't say it, you are thinking too simply. In fact, what he said means, 'The answer can't be said directly from his mouth, you need to understand it yourself', Hence the next sentence."

"That sentence seems to be nonsense, but in fact, it is to lead you to think deeply. The J-40 engine was developed by the Aviation Group, and the Kunlun in front of you was also developed by the Aviation Group."

"Is it possible for the aviation group to develop two top-level engines in one go? Of course not."

"So the answer is already obvious. The j-40 is equipped with this engine, or an upgraded version of this engine!"

"Oh~~~"

The young reporter suddenly realized, and his mind turned ten times, and when he came back, he realized that the logic was so simple.

He thought about it and said, "The name of this engine is the Kunlun Type II engine, and the standard is the export type. Then the J-40 is equipped, yes, it must be the Kunlun engine!"

The old reporter looked at the young reporter seriously, and nodded vigorously with a childish look.

The next question is, "The Kunlun engine has also had a prototype display before, and some performance parameters have been announced, but there is a big gap with the current one. Can you talk about the specific reason?"

Zhang Gangchuan immediately said, "Technology is developing and technology is improving."

"We have been committed to the research and development of engine technology, encountered unimaginable resistance in the process, and overcome many difficulties."

He didn't answer directly.

The main reason is that he is not thick-skinned enough. He cannot say that the Kunlun engine has nothing to do with the J-40. He just said that he led the team to develop the Kunlun engine and worked hard to overcome the difficulties encountered.

The reporters took notes immediately.

This time the young reporter reacted quickly, and he said immediately after turning his mind, "I have prepared before I came. I know that the last Kunlun engine display was four years ago. What he means is that during these four years, the Kunlun team has worked hard. It took a huge advance in technology to get to where we are now, right?"

"So once again, the J-40 is equipped with a Kunlun engine."

"In this way, the previous public information on the Kunlun engine is still very useful. If we follow this direction to develop, can we get the high-end engine equipped with the J-40?"

"Whoo~"

Several European and American journalists nearby, listening to the young man's speech, quickly took notes. They couldn't help but think of a Chinese saying, "The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, and one generation is stronger than the other."

Take a look!

This back wave is really amazingly talented!

Next.

At the booth of the Kunlun II engine, various aviation professionals asked about the details of the engine, including manufacturing, assembly and specific parameters, and continued to want to know more about the power interface and electronic control system.

These questions are clearly interested in the engine.

Zhang Gangchuan knew the Type [-] engine very well, and he answered one by one. At the same time, he also found that the people around him did not have the initial doubts, but instead were surprised and admired.

Then he found himself enjoying it, he was in the limelight, and his mentality was completely different.

Fool...

It seems to be very good!

……

At the same time, the j-40 was completely popular in public opinion. Ordinary people don't care about engines, they care about fighter jets.

J-40 is popular all over the country, abroad and all over the world.

Groups of stunning photos were posted on the Internet, and shocking reports were released one by one, which spread at an extremely fast speed and attracted the attention of countless people.

J-40 is not only a technological product, but also a very important fighter jet in the military. Naturally, it not only attracts public opinion, but also rises to the national level.

Many national media have made reports and expressed concern about the j-40, and some western media have also expressed concerns.

The "Washington Post" of M country said, "Judging from the debut process of the J-40, its flexibility, flight capability, speed, etc. are not inferior to the F-35 at all. It is still a single-engine medium fighter."

"In the field of aero-engine technology and fighter jet design, China is likely to have caught up with or even surpassed country m."

The European media is similar.

This kind of argument is combined with the stunning appearance of j-40 and the speed and flexibility displayed, and the field of public opinion has become more and more marketable.

Some Western politicians have also begun to express their views on public opinion.

For example, some politicians said, "J-40 is just a show. Such a design must have great flaws, but it has not been shown."

"It is impossible for China's aviation technology to reach this level."

"What we see is not necessarily true, it may just be a product that has been prepared for a long time to deceive public opinion."

There are also some political figures and military personnel who said that they "will continue to pay attention to the situation of j-40."

The leaders of several other countries talked about the j-40 in interviews with the media, and expressed their opinions one after another, "Maybe it's a show, maybe it's true, we can't say anything for the time being, and we need detailed information from the intelligence department."

"But what is certain is that China's approach is wrong. They should not invest too much energy in military technology, but should limit military development. World peace is the common goal of mankind. Pay attention to the development of people's livelihood..."

Some said, "We will continue to pay attention to the situation of j-40. In the future, there may be a possibility of cooperating with China in the military!"

"Congratulations to China for its major breakthrough in aviation!"

Some small and medium-sized countries that are active in armaments expressed interest, "I am very interested in J-40, and hope to see it with my own eyes one day. Yes, it belongs to us on our territory."

"We will strive to cooperate with the Chinese Air Force to carry out exchanges in aviation technology."

"..."

International public opinion is mainly divided into three aspects. Some friendly countries expressed congratulations, unfriendly western countries expressed concern, neutral countries were concerned, interested, and even expressed their hope that they could buy J-40 fighter jets in the future.

and many more.

The meaning of the expression is completely different in different countries.

However, it is completely consistent that the vast majority of people are full of curiosity about the j-40 and are optimistic about the capabilities of the j-40 fighter. clues.

Of course that's not possible.

At present, there is only one j-40, and only a dozen wz-a1 engines have been produced. Because the development process is very fast, no information has been leaked at all. At most, it was only photographed by ordinary people during the performance test.

Those countries that are interested in j-40 are not only interested, some wealthy countries even sold it directly.

The ST country in the Middle East.

State st is a traditional 'oil tycoon', and they are also allies of country m, but because there are more important allies of country m on the border, and they are still mortal opponents, while they are friendly with country m, some things will always happen No small amount of friction.

In terms of military affairs, country st is restricted from buying the best equipment and is not supported to develop its own industrial system, so it needs to seek support from other countries.

China and ST countries have always cooperated, and have signed large military purchase orders.

Now that country ST has discovered that China has better fighter jets, a prince involved in politics as a representative, quickly came to Zhucheng, and after finding high-level leaders, he directly talked about buying J-40.

Of course that's not possible.

"J-40 is not for sale!" The senior leader directly shook his head and refused.

There is a saying that is good, there are no non-sale items in the world, if there are, the price is not high enough.

Obviously.

The prince of ST country believes that money can buy everything, so he directly offered a price that made Zhang Gangchuan next to him nod, "Ten J-40s, 100 billion US dollars!"

Ten, 100 billion!

The high-level leaders were a little stunned when they heard that, Xindao ST country is really a country of local tyrants.

The manufacturing cost of j-40 is indeed high, but 35 million U.S. dollars is enough for one. In comparison with the international market, the f-[-] of country M is sold to allies for about [-] million U.S. dollars.

Of course.

Country st will definitely not be able to buy f-35s, Congress M will consider the interests of country ys, and will not sell f-35s to country st at all.

Now the representative of country st is asking for a billion dollars to buy j-40, obviously hoping to strengthen the armament and have more than five generations of fighter jets.

This is tantamount to betting.

Even if j-40 sells for one billion dollars, it is impossible. ST country means to strengthen cooperation with China, and the order of tens of billions of dollars is used as a stepping stone, hoping to sign larger orders in various fields.

The ST country is definitely a super big money maker, and their military purchases cost tens of billions of dollars at every turn.

The high-level leaders thought about it, and asked their subordinates to explain the strategic importance of the J-40. By the way, they revealed that other types of fifth-generation fighter jets can also be considered for research and development cooperation with the ST country.

Zhang Gangchuan knew it was an empty-handed white wolf when he heard it, but he couldn't help admiring, "High!"

The aviation group has other models of fifth-generation aircraft under development, that is, the j-31, but the j-31 still exists in the design. If it is developed together with ST, it must be to let the other party invest in research and development costs, and the own side invests in relevant technical personnel. R & D and production can be carried out.

Of course, international cooperation in military research and development is generally like this. Technology is the core thing. Without technology, no matter how much money there is, it is meaningless at all.

Representatives of st countries obviously cannot decide to cooperate, and can only express their attitudes, understand the cooperation intention, content and so on.

In the end, the two parties signed an order for the Kunlun II engine.

State ST purchased fifty Kunlun II engines at a unit price of 100 million U.S. dollars, and agreed to deliver them within three years.

The parameters and performance of the Kunlun II engine are enough to satisfy ST country. The engine can support more than four and a half generations of fighter jets. Technical improvements, for example, the design of dual-engine drive is enough to support higher-performance fighter jets.

Even if it cannot support a single-engine fifth-generation fighter, it must be known that the fifth-generation fighter is not only an engine, but the most important thing is the design and other performance, not just the engine.

There are still many usages of the Kunlun II engine. It can be used by heavy fighters and reconnaissance aircraft.

ST country only purchased separately, but they still hope to cooperate in production.

It is impossible to support cooperative production with an order of only [-] units, and the only way to go further is to sign a larger order.
