The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

While communicating with Yang Huimei, Lu Yuying paid special attention to the members of the **** delegation who got off the four minibuses.

Upon closer inspection, I did notice some differences.

Although most people are wearing military uniforms, compared with previous times, the proportion of air force officers in this delegation is significantly higher, and judging from their appearance and age, many of them look like active pilots.

It is normal to bring a few pilots to experience flying when you come to buy an airplane. However, because most of the senior officers of the Air Force are pilots, it is rare to see so many young faces.

Seeing the members of the Pakistani delegation getting out of the car one after another, Yang Huimei couldn't help but leave them alone.

But before turning around, he still said to Lu Yuying:

"In short, this situation is indeed special, and the superiors also attach great importance to it. Before I came out today, Deputy Commander Shen Tianfeng of the Air Force specifically set the tone and said that China and Pakistan would deepen exchanges in military technology and training."

Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Lu Yuying knocked on her head in distress.

As an engineering technician, he didn't like this ambiguous statement.

It would be nice if a precise range could be given, like aircraft design.

Unfortunately, this is almost impossible in the field of foreign exchange.

Since 1988, the two countries have confirmed their intention to cooperate based on the Super 7 project, a deeply improved version of the J-7.

However, due to differences between the two sides on the technical aspects of the fighter aircraft, and the Pakistani interest in the middle turning to the F16, the project stagnated for a long time.

It was not until the year before last, that is, in 1994, that Pakistan, which had no hope of purchasing the F16 due to US sanctions, restarted formal negotiations.

However, at this time, their requirements for the aircraft have changed from a "low-end fighter to serve as a starting point for the F16" to "a main fighter that can replace the F16."

The initial plan of the Super 7 program, the J-7CP obviously cannot meet this requirement.

If a new aircraft were to be designed in accordance with Pakistan's technical requirements, the amount of work and cost would be much greater.

For both China and Pakistan, the associated risks will also increase exponentially.

Therefore, a more in-depth cooperation model is needed.

However, when it comes to deepening cooperation between countries, the aviation industry sector has the final say.

In short, the progress of the negotiations has been stagnant until today.

As a result, at this time, he suddenly said that he wanted to deepen communication——

How deep should it be added?

Project No. 10?

Don't even think about it, it's absolutely not allowed to be seen. No matter how good the relationship between **** and China is behind the scenes, they are still American allies in black and white, and they can't just shake everything off.

But then?

Looking at the opponent's posture this time, it is definitely not as simple as buying another batch of J-7s.

And it also involves cooperation in the field of aviation technology, which is even more sensitive and troublesome.

Several projects currently being carried out by the 611 Institute involve various technologies and subsystems, which ones can be sold and which ones cannot...

Lu Yuying had no idea about these issues.

In fact, not only was Lu Yuying unsure, but because China was still immature in terms of equipment exports at this time, even the people at Huaxia Aviation Technology were unsure.

But no matter what, the matter has come to this, and we can only bite the bullet.

After all, the military is still tightening its belts and living a hard life. The entire military industry sector is seriously short of orders and even needs to convert military products into civilian products to maintain its livelihood.

Although it is much better than the most difficult period in the 80s, funds in all aspects are still tight.

For example, the J-7F fighter jet, which is currently in charge of Lu Yuying himself and is progressing very well, has a total project allocation of only 5000 million yuan.

If it weren't for a very accidental opportunity that allowed him to contact the reinforcements through a paper, which greatly reduced the development cost of the aircraft, I am afraid that this deeply improved model may not have reached the end.

Therefore, in this case, all the more thoughtful military industry companies have turned their attention to foreign countries.

If we can get orders from foreign customers and exchange them for foreign exchange, then even if all of these funds cannot belong to the unit, at least a considerable part can be retained to solve some urgent problems.

"We can only take one step and see..."

Lu Yuying took a deep breath and walked in the direction of the delegation.

One of the leading officers also stepped forward.

"This is Chief Engineer Lu Yuying of the Aviation Industry Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute. He is responsible for the development of multiple improved models of J-7 aircraft."

Yang Huimei, standing beside the two men, first introduced Lu Yuying's identity to the officer, and then turned slightly to face the latter:

"This is the deputy chief of staff of the **** Air Force and the leader of the Pakistani delegation, Major General Shahid Latif."

The two shook hands.

Latif's opening was very unique:

"Before I was grounded because of my age, the last model I flew was the J-7MP fighter designed by you. At that time, it was definitely a pretty good aircraft."

"It's a great honor to receive such praise from you, Mr. Major General."

Just like all parents like to hear other people praise their children, Lu Yuying, a designer of 611 Institute, naturally also enjoys it.

The official language of **** is Urdu, but the vast majority of people actually use English, so the communication between the two does not need to be through an interpreter.

Of course, Latif also understood what he meant. It was a good airplane back then, but the implication is that it is now somewhat behind the times.

This is also an undisputed fact.

The J-7MP is essentially a J-550B that has been retrofitted with a large number of Western equipment and can use French-made R7 air-to-air missiles. It was still visible in 1984 when it was first delivered, but now in the mid-90s, regardless of flying Neither the performance nor the on-board equipment can keep up with the times.

Therefore, Lu Yuying followed the original plan and walked towards the final assembly workshop of Factory 132 with Latif and a large delegation of almost forty people behind him.

Parked there was a J-7MG that had rolled off the assembly line but had not yet had time to transfer to Yanliang for test flights.

Since you're not sure what the other party's fundamental purpose is for coming here this time, it won't go wrong to start with some more conservative projects.

Of course, Lu Yuying did not forget her identity as a "salesman" and kept introducing this 611 Institute's current main model to the other party on the road:

"Mr. Major General, since the J-7MP uses a lot of Western equipment, and the overall performance is now slightly lagging behind, we have stopped production of this model and are preparing to export a new improved model, which is the J-7MG."

“The wings of the new aircraft have been changed from the large swept delta wing in the past to a double delta wing. The inner wing sweep angle is 57° and the outer wing sweep angle is 42°. It also has front and rear edge maneuverable flaps and is equipped with turbojet. The maneuverability of the 13F engine has been improved by at least one-third compared to the previous model..."

While talking, the group of people had arrived outside the assembly workshop and saw the J-7MG parked inside through the open door.
