Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"The bird has returned to its nest and is in good health..."

In Yanjing, when Xu Huasheng and his team received the news, everyone in the room was immediately excited.

"Great..."

The Air Force boss slapped his thigh with excitement. The other people in the room were also excited. Xu Huasheng was relieved and smiled, but after laughing, he was worried. He was worried about his uncle's safety because his uncle was in greater danger.

In the room, everyone had joy on their faces.

A Tu-160 strategic bomber, an An-124 heavy strategic transport aircraft, and an An-225 super transport aircraft. In the belly of the An-225, there was also a Mi-26 heavy helicopter.

Four planes, 500 million US dollars, too cheap.

This time, it was really a bloody profit. If the Soviet Union had not collapsed, you would not have been able to buy any of the other three aircraft with 500 million US dollars, except for the Mi-26, because these things are strategic weapons for the Soviet Union and cannot be sold outside.

With the An-124 and An-225, China's transport aircraft technology will develop by leaps and bounds. If these technologies are absorbed to make their own products, plus the Y-20 that Huasheng Group is developing. China will become the second country after the Soviet Union to have large, heavy, and super-heavy transport aircraft.

Even the United States does not have a big guy like the An-225. Now that the Soviet Union has collapsed, China may be the only country in the world to have these three types of transport aircraft in the future. It's exciting to think about it.

And the Tu-160 is even more precious. This thing is much more awesome than China's H-6. Such a big guy can fly at a speed of two Machs at an altitude of 20,000 meters. You can imagine how awesome this technology is.

If China can figure out this aircraft thoroughly, absorb and digest it, and make its own White Swan, then China's air strategic force will be greatly improved. This powerful range is enough for this aircraft to take off from China and easily fly around Guam for a few times.

If it refuels once in the air, it can even easily fly from China to the United States and come back. You must know that the White Swan has a range of 16,000 kilometers with a nine-ton load. From the east of China to the west coast of the United States, it is only more than 9,000 kilometers. It can be easily returned by refueling with a refueling machine.

If it is a battle, there is no need to refuel at all. You must know that the KH-55 cruise missile mounted on the Tu-160 has a range of up to 5,000 kilometers. The range of the White Swan plus the range of this missile can allow China to easily strike coastal cities and inland cities in the United States.

With this weapon, the combat radius of the Tu-160 can reach a terrifying 13,000 kilometers. This is the deterrent power of strategic bombers. This is why the United States is so afraid of the Soviet Union, because the Soviet monster is too powerful. If a war breaks out, the Soviet Union can easily attack the United States and cause the United States to suffer heavy losses.

Except for the Soviet Union, no country in the world now has the ability to attack the United States. This is the powerful and terrifying Soviet Union.

The birds return to their nests, and the deal ends.

In Ukraine, many people left Ukraine quickly in the middle of the night and disappeared. This deal has filled many people's pockets and allowed them to easily go to other countries to enjoy a good life.

At this moment, deep in the sea, Xu Dafei was nestling in the submarine and slowly waiting for time.

Unlike airplanes, the speed of the big black fish is very slow. It is only 32 knots at full speed, which is only 60 kilometers per hour.

This time they are from Vladivostok to Qingdao. The entire route is about 2,000 kilometers. If everything goes well, the entire journey will take more than 30 hours.

And they have to hide themselves carefully in the middle, because this route passes through the waters between South Korea and Japan.

Augustus smiled at Xu Dafei and said nothing.

Augustus was very calm at the moment, he knew the performance of this big guy. Once it went into the sea, it would be difficult to find it. Especially now in this radio-silent deep-sea navigation state, it is basically absolutely safe.

Not to mention the United States, even the Soviet Union itself could not find this big guy. Not to mention that the Soviet Union does not have satellite positioning capabilities now, even if it is in the deep sea, all positioning signals are useless.

This night, countless people did not sleep.

Many Soviets could not sleep, many Westerners could not sleep, and many Chinese could not sleep.

On the morning of December 26, 1991, the Soviet Union held its last meeting, at which it officially announced the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

From then on, this huge empire completely dissipated!

And the Chinese official media also carried outThe news shocked countless Chinese people. They didn't expect that the Soviet Union, which was so powerful that it made people despair, would actually disintegrate. It was like a dream.

You must know that in the eyes of many Chinese people, the Soviet Union is the big brother, an extremely powerful existence.

Who would have thought that this powerful Soviet Union would collapse overnight.

In Shenzhen, the expert dormitory area of ​​Huasheng Group, all the experts from the Soviet Union gathered together. Today they did not go to work. Watching the news reports, they mourned for their country. The powerful Soviet Union no longer exists.

Although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, they still felt uncomfortable in their hearts when it really came. It was unspeakable. Although their country was in chaos and unbearable, it was also their own country.

"Everyone, the Soviet Union will no longer exist in the future. Everyone can work here with peace of mind in the future. People have to live for themselves. Even if not for themselves, they have to live for their families..."

At Tolmachev's home, looking at the depressed people, Tolmachev sighed.

He had only been in China for a few days. After the Ukrainian independence referendum, he finally made up his mind to come to China with a few friends. Because he knew that he would lose his place in Ukraine or Russia.

Because both Ukraine and Russia are not short of large transport aircraft, and after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, they are also unlikely to have the money to develop more advanced transport aircraft.

As a transport aircraft designer, he did not want to die from then on. As a top designer, it is not sad to die from exhaustion at work.

Being idle, abandoned, unable to design the aircraft you like, unable to be with the aircraft you like, unable to talk about design and technology with a group of like-minded friends, and finally dying in a hospital bed is the greatest sorrow.

The greatest honor of an elite soldier is to die on the battlefield.

For an aircraft designer, their greatest happiness is to be with aircraft design all their lives, not to be a useless waste.
