Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

“There is an effect, but it’s not that obvious.

Currently, this type of paint is completely invisible under certain radar bands.

But as you know, radars nowadays are basically full-band, so I have been coordinating experiments with the military district recently.

In most cases, after the radar frequency band returns, the fighter jet still has a signal on the radar, but it is much smaller.

Bigger and faster than a bird, but smaller than an ordinary fighter plane.

So I thought, it’s not that I didn’t contact you because it wasn’t done. . . ”

In the laboratory, Wu Chang pointed at a J-11 model and explained.

"I didn't expect you to reach the threshold so quickly..."

Fang Xiang looked at the model painted with standard gray paint, his heart filled with emotion.

He remembered that the earliest invisible paint was not completely invisible. If he guessed correctly, Wu Chang's current progress might even be no worse than that of the United States!

“I am now using the process of elimination to experimentally extract from this matched paint to see which material actually has the effect.

Then I used this paint as the main material and combined it with other paints to continue experimenting.”

Wu Chang scratched his head, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

“You’ve done very well.

I think the idea you just mentioned is very correct. Now that you have found the right direction, just keep going.

By the way, how is the funding now? "

Fang Xiang patted Wu Chang on the shoulder.

It was an accidental act, but I never expected that it would actually grow into a forest.

I can't help but feel a little excited.

“How much does this cost? It’s just buying some paint.

Building this laboratory will be enough for us to conduct experiments for ten years. . . ”

Wu Chang was still as introverted and shy as before.

It seems that it is not worth spending so much money to build this protective laboratory.

“I’m not worried about you getting sick. The harm caused by paint is much greater than you think.

You are the best coatings engineers in the country, or even in the world. You can’t just...”

Fang Xiang didn't finish his words, but everyone understood his meaning.

In the past, conditions did not allow it and many people did not realize the dangers.

But now that conditions are better, we know how to isolate these harmful substances and gases, so naturally we can no longer allow their health to be affected.

After Wu Changcai conducted experiments for a few months, he became neither human nor ghost.

Now, although he doesn't look rosy-cheeked, at least he doesn't look as horrible as before, which makes Fang Xiang feel a lot more at ease.

“By the way, you must protect the current paint formula.

This is top secret.”

Just as Fang Xiang finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and immediately turned to tell the butcher, Song and Wu Chang.

“Don’t worry, the military district has already sent people to guard here.

Our commander originally had a high level of confidentiality, and later I heard that he could make airplanes invisible. You have no idea how much importance the military district attaches to this!

A special brigade was directly arranged.

It gave us a shock at the time.”

The butcher said with a cigarette in his mouth and a smile on his face.

"Who said it wasn't true? Suddenly, more than a dozen trucks from the military district drove over that day.

Hundreds of people came rushing down, armed with live ammunition, and almost scared the security department to death."

Mr. Song also looked frightened.

"Should this laboratory become independent in the future?"

Fang Xiang raised his head and glanced around, but did not see any security personnel.

I guess it's inside the laboratory right now and I can't see it.

But when I entered the room just now, I did see two soldiers with guns guarding the door.

He was so busy chatting with Butcher and Mr. Song that he didn't pay much attention to it.

I think it’s because of the paint.

“No need?

Secretary Ma spent a lot of money to acquire and build these equipment.

If it were somewhere else, wouldn’t these be...”

Wu Chang was stunned, looking at the spotless equipment in the white laboratory.

“Do you need new equipment or anything else?”

This set of equipment was made by Fang when he asked Lao Ma to help him make it several years ago. At that time, the experimental requirements were not high and only required sufficient ventilation.

Now it seems that there is even a centrifuge, so I asked again.

"Everything is fine, the factory treats us well, and we have everything we need.

No need to move, nothing to ask for.”

Wu Chang rubbed his hands with a complicated expression on his face. He probably thought Fang was planning to get them out of Factory 132.

Come to think of it, this laboratory is under the jurisdiction of Factory 132.

The work relationships, benefits, etc. of the personnel are also in accordance with the standards of Factory 132.

If they go out on their own, they have no idea what the future will be like, so they might as well keep what they have now.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work, I'm just here to take a look.

I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for a while.

If you have any problem, come to my office to see me, I am still the same person."

Fang Xiang nodded, knowing that Wu Chang was not good at speaking, his emotional intelligence was not high, and he was a pure workaholic.

He didn't say anything more. After handing Wu Chang a cigarette, he took Butcher and Song back to the office building.

"Tell me about this collaboration."

After returning to Fang Xiang's meeting room, Fang Xiang gave cigarettes to Butcher and Song.

After the secretary made tea for the three of them and closed the door.

Fang wanted to speak.

“The cause of this incident was a mistake in keeping confidentiality.

Our J-7II and J-7III models have always had export projects and cooperation.

The last time, Pakistan came to discuss the purchase of J-7III.

Before they left, they said they wanted to see the J-7III in actual combat. We thought they wanted to buy it, so we arranged a demonstration.

After the performance, the plane landed at our small airport and let them have a real-life tour.

Unexpectedly, a formation of J-11s from the Air Force was spotted by their team when they were landing back at the base after training.

So he came to us to ask.

At that time, I used the excuse that it was a J-10 training formation. As you know, Pakistan had seen the J-10, but due to its configuration, we were not willing to sell it to them. They also thought the price was too expensive and did not want to buy it.

But unexpectedly, the deputy commander had seen the J-10 before and could tell it was different at a glance.

Just say you want to see our new model.

How could they agree to this? So I lied to them and said that it was a smaller version of the J-10, a single-engine J-10, and a prototype of an improved version of the new J-10.

But you also know that the J-10 is a twin-engine fighter and the J-11 is a single-engine fighter, so the structural difference is huge. It's not like they haven't seen the J-10 before, so how could they believe it?

So seeing that we were unwilling to disclose information, they simply proposed a new cooperation plan.

This is a specific request.”

When Mr. Tu heard Fang Xiang asking about the reason why Pakistan wanted to cooperate on the fighter jet project, he told the story from the beginning.

"In fact, the J-10 can be sold to them."

Fang Xiang took the document and knew before he even looked at it that this must be the future Super 7 project. He pinched his chin, thought for a while, and said something.

"The J-10 is originally an upgraded version of the J-8, and compared to the J-7 and J-8, they are not even on the same level.

One is a second-generation and a half aircraft, and the other is a third-generation aircraft, both of which are positioned to meet the needs of homeland defense interception.

At the same time, it can take into account long range, high altitude and high speed, and is equipped with a twin-engine Kunlun engine. The instantaneous acceleration and thrust-to-weight ratio are also good, and it can occasionally play a multi-purpose role.

This is enough for Pakistan to face India’s military targeting.

Now India's main air force is just mig21 and mig25.

Is the price above too high? "

Fang Xiang was talking and thinking at the same time, he had a deep understanding of the Super 7 project.

Not to mention anything else, it took 07 years just to deliver it in 20. With such a long research and development time, it would be better to sell them the J-10, which is neither up to standard nor awkward.
