Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 556

“Under the current situation, we don’t have the funds to launch communications satellites in our country, but we cannot do without our national defense. The satellites of the Americans and Soviets have covered the world, and we don’t even have the most basic ones.” Zheng Yucheng handed cigarettes to Xie Kai, making a fuss. Xin’s Xie Kai shook his head and refused.

After the old guy clicked on it, he took a deep breath, and then exhaled a large mouthful of smoke.

“That aircraft was used to make an early warning aircraft to create the kind of three-dimensional combat model you built for the garrison regiment. The early warning aircraft is not only responsible for communication command, but also for remote search…” Zheng Yucheng said, “It’s very big. To a degree, this is something used to replace satellites.”

“We have no technology on the early warning aircraft.” Xie Kai was a little speechless.

It had nothing to do with him, Zheng Yucheng said, as if the plane was produced because of him.

However, the Air Force really needs an early warning aircraft, and Xie Kai does not want to wait for domestic research and development after entering the 21st century.

Until the end of the 1990s, negotiations with Israel for the purchase of early warning aircraft radars for several years, due to pressure from the United States, eventually died out.

The early warning aircraft is absolutely necessary for the national defense of any country.

But now 404 simply cannot afford this funding.

“The original Air Police No. 1, you know?” Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai.

Xie Kai didn’t know.

“926 plane.”

Xie Kai still shook his head.

All he knows is China’s Air Force-200, which is a tactical early warning aircraft developed by Yun-9 for carrying platforms; he knows Air Force-2000, which is a large early warning aircraft modified by Il-76; and he also knows Air Force-500. The third-generation early warning aircraft is also based on the Yun-9 platform and equipped with a digital phased array radar.

I have never heard of Air Police No.1.

“Beginning in 1969, the Tu-4 bomber was used as the carrier aircraft, and the modification of the shape design was completed. In 1971, the test flight was successful. In the end, the 843 radar was suitable for high-altitude, water-surface, and desert targets, but it was mixed when detecting targets at low altitudes and at sea. The effect was very unsatisfactory. It was dismantled in 1979.” Zheng Yucheng gave Xie Kai a brief introduction to the situation of the Air Police No.1 project.

“So, it’s another dismounting project?” Xie Kai felt a little painful.

If 404 has sufficient funds, he doesn’t mind picking up all the discontinued projects.

But they didn’t.

Only invest in the most urgently needed projects.

Zheng Yucheng nodded, “Now our funds are affordable, and the money remains there, and it is of little use. We only invest in the first aircraft, and the air force will bear the rest. Otherwise, I would not agree, we have to do it. The aircraft carrier!”

“It’s fine if you know. Now we have a lot of projects in our hands. On the Super Seven side, without the investment of the Pakistan Air Force, our more than 200 million US dollars engine might have to be smashed in our hands. Therefore, I hope that Super Seven can test flight as soon as possible, and then I will find a way to sell…” Xie Kai sighed.

If you don’t continue, you will have to wait for a lot of things for decades.

“Don’t worry, we have all evaluated that the Air Force’s early warning aircraft, we paid 80 million, and then left it alone. When the subsequent research is successful, the Air Force will purchase it from us.”

“Don’t count on them, they are poorer than anyone else.” Xie Kai looked disdainful.

It’s not that he doesn’t look down on the air force, but that the air force is really poor.

The country’s annual military expenditure is small, and the largest amount of military expenditure is allocated to the largest army, giving priority to the development of the army, and the remaining few are allocated to the navy and the air force.

There is just a little stuff in the pot, and there are too many bowls to eat. Instead of everyone hanging on their stomachs, it is better to let most of them hungry first, to ensure that they will not die, let one or two excellent fatteners, and then help raise them. That’s the rest.

This is the current domestic attitude.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“In the wars that occurred in recent years, almost all of the wars were preliminarily fighting for air supremacy. Under such circumstances, our Air Force…” Zheng Yucheng didn’t help the Air Force to speak, it was the case.

Xie Kai can understand.

“We can’t afford the air force.”

“But we can help the Air Force to research these cutting-edge technologies when they have no funds. The investment is at least within our scope. The Navy can’t remember. Even if you get an aircraft carrier back from the Soviet Union, we have to I want to digest it. Without ten or eight years of effort, do you think it will work?” Zheng Yucheng was helpless.

404 originally lacked projects, and later got rich, and found that projects were everywhere, but these projects could not bring them money as they thought.

Taking over these projects that were dismissed by the senior management has made them less and less small money in the treasury.

“Don’t say anything else, even level 531 is still not fully completed, especially the Haihongqi system as the main weapon.” Zheng Yucheng complained, “Those black fish used for deterrence, up to now, have not been completely completed. ? And the funding requirements are extremely huge.”

“That’s why I always don’t want the base to intervene in the naval project.” Xie Kai gets a big head when he thinks of these things.

Reborn, he knows what the people in the country want.

Advanced fighters with a range that can deliver express strategic missiles to the world, even gray planes that can fly around the earth, black fish that can dive 10,000 meters under the sea, and can cover the entire Pacific Ocean…

Ran and egg.

None of these things are simple.

All are related to the huge industrial system of the entire country, and the requirements for the level of the industrial system are relatively high.

Every effort is invested in billions and tens of billions.

Take the aircraft carrier as an example. The cost of an aircraft carrier is now tens of billions, and the 404 can no longer support it. It’s not too much of a problem if it gets out through gritted teeth, but there must be a carrier aircraft, right? You are an aircraft carrier, so how come you have to build an escort formation, right? There are also a series of things such as transport ships used to transport supplies.

Advanced aircraft carriers, is it possible to use the 051 ship currently carrying the banner as the main escort ship?

The voyage is only 2970 nautical miles, and at a speed of 18 knots, even his own territorial waters can’t run from the north to the south and will drop anchor…

“The early warning aircraft has been working on it for a long time. It was originally considered to introduce the Soviet A-50, and then carry the Israeli Faircon Radar. Just inquired, the Soviet Union directly refused; and Israel did not say anything, but There is not much interest either.” Zheng Yucheng continued to explain why domestic early warning aircraft are needed.

“Lao Maozi’s thing hasn’t been equipped for long, how could it be sold!” Xie Kai was even more speechless.

What do the domestic bigwigs think.

Actually thinking of buying an A-50 early warning machine, that thing is not backward in the 1980s, and it will not be able to keep up in the 1990s.

Israel’s Fircon is a good thing. The question is, if they want to sell, can their American father agree to it?

“Therefore, the military began to consider this issue after the transportation of the 10th. Originally, the performance of the transportation was severely flawed, so the military finally lost interest and couldn’t get the radar out. In the end, there was no aircraft on board?” Zheng Yucheng There was a smile on his face, “Yunshi is used as a carrier, and they do radar…”

“Anyway, we only provide planes, right?”

“No, we are in charge of technology, and we will hand over production to our joint venture with Qin Fei in the future. Building a production plant is too much trouble.” Zheng Yucheng said, “Qin Fei and the others are also involved in this project now.”

“That’s why they invested in one? But now they want another 80 million. What is this for?”

“Wide-body aircraft, improved models of the Yunshi, wind tunnel models, ground static pressure tests, etc., as well as prototypes for production test flights. These all require a lot of money.”

“It includes upgrading the production line, right?”

“Yes. Qin Fei contributes people and we contribute technology and money.”

“Aren’t you afraid that they will eventually swallow our production line?” Xie Kai was a little angry. “For this kind of thing, we shouldn’t pay for the production line! Technical investment, there is no problem, I personally disagree with the investment in the production line. I don’t agree with the investment in the production line. The above sentence is all given to Qin Fei.”

404’s small vault can’t be emptied just like this.

“I have also pondered this matter. I want to build an aircraft manufacturing plant on our side, but the cost is too high.” Zheng Yucheng hasn’t calculated it.

“There is no need to build a factory, as long as there is a workshop. Here we will mainly study the core technology of the aircraft and build a test workshop. The production will be handed over to Qin Fei, and we will not intervene, and let them do it themselves with the funding. If you don’t invest money? Then we won’t cooperate. We will design it at that time, but we can’t produce it. We can’t control it!” Xie Kai said calmly.

As long as the military wants an early warning aircraft, and has 404 investment in technology development, prototype manufacturing, etc., Qin Fei wants to contribute nothing but money, no.

“Go in, Lao Ma and they want to make a better big plane faster.”

In the meeting room, as Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng left, everyone started to feel embarrassed. Later, there was a lot of discussion about whether the base would agree to the 80 million funding.

It took a while before seeing the two come in.

“Regarding the modification design of the large aircraft and the acquisition of experimental data, the base will not have any hesitation in terms of investment. We have always been blank in the large aircraft area. The tuition fees that need to be paid and the supplementary tuition fees that need to be paid are always blank. , Can’t be less.” Zheng Yucheng said a few words and asked Xie Kai to speak.

Ma Fengshan and others also know that if it weren’t for Xie Kai, the large aircraft project would have been completely finished.

“All the time, we are still in production and flying when we know that the Yun-10 aircraft has irreversible defects! Just for the test data and to demonstrate the design of the technicians. Even if it can fly 600 hours now, the cost of an aircraft is Over 30 million, the average flight cost of the plane itself has reached 500,000 per hour!” Xie Kai counts the cost here, and Ma Fengshan and others are embarrassed.

They don’t know what Xie Kai wants to say.

Anyway, the cost is high, it is absolute.

“Think about it, with such a high cost, why do we continue to invest money? We are not a professional aviation design and production unit, nor the Ministry of Aviation Industry. All the money is earned by ourselves!”
