The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master

No matter how big a leader is, he is still a human being. Even after special training, he can only suppress his emotions at most, and it is impossible to have no emotions.

When emotions accumulate to a certain threshold, they will always show up.

It's just that compared with ordinary people, they will be more restrained.

Just like now.

When he heard the last part about the "underground command post", the expression on the leader's face relaxed slightly, and the eyes hidden behind the glasses also revealed a radiant light.

Obviously he was extremely satisfied.

He did not continue to ask more details, but turned around, motioned to the accompanying staff to bring the coat, and then walked towards the door:

"Let the technicians start working, we will go to the side to take a look."

Others, including Chang Haonan, naturally hurried to follow.

After everyone left the hangar, the engineers who had been ready quickly arrived and began unloading operations amid the sound of motors and engines...

After walking a distance, the leader slowed down a little, turned his head and looked at Chang Haonan with a kind look:

"Comrade Haonan, what are your plans after this test launch?"

Chang Haonan thought the other party was asking about the follow-up work plan, so he answered almost without thinking:

"The double-cone configuration of hypersonic weapons has limited potential after all, and can only provide some immediate combat power. What really belongs to the future is still the waverider configuration and the air-breathing scramjet engine... It just so happens that Huairou Science City The JF14 super-high-speed wind tunnel there is also progressing faster than expected. It will probably be put into use in the middle of this year. At that time, I should focus on the research and development of subsequent technologies. "

"Also, when the fourth-generation fighter program seminar was held before, I talked with the 601 Institute about the newer generation of variable cycle aircraft engines. Although there are no conditions for direct project establishment at present, we must also prepare some preliminary research work... My personal expectation in this regard is to be able to obtain the definition rights of the fifth-generation engine and the fifth-generation fighter internationally!"

Even if these bold words were put two or three years ago, they would probably be regarded as too radical.

At least no one would take them seriously.

However, today, when Chang Haonan said this, no one would question it.

As the head of the Air Force, Qiao Chenqing couldn't even suppress his smile.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would probably laugh out loud.

However, the chief's reaction was a bit strange.

"The wind tunnel will be put into use in the middle of the year... What are you going to arrange in the next few months?"

In theory, he and Chang Haonan are three or four levels apart. As a senior leader, he should rarely ask about such detailed work arrangements.

The latter also felt a little confused, but after all, it was the leader who asked the question, so he had to answer truthfully:

"Probably... finish the verification of the missile and deal with some other scattered work. It is difficult to arrange the next complete project in about three months."

Chang Haonan originally planned to negotiate with Rolls-Royce after the Singapore Air Show to set a cooperative tone for the AE1500 engine.

But man proposes, God disposes. The strong assistance of MTU and Pratt \u0026 Whitney two months ago made the difficulty of this matter suddenly reduced.

It may not even be necessary for him to come forward in person.

At this point in the conversation, it sounded like a casual chat.

The tense nerves of the people gradually relaxed.

But at this moment, the leader's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Then he turned around and looked at Chang Haonan, and his voice also rose a few degrees:

"No!"

"In my opinion, three months is enough to complete a complete work."

Although Chang Haonan has seen many storms, he has never seen such a scene, so he was a little confused.

After a long while, he asked tentatively:

"Then...what specific instructions does the leader have?"

Not to mention him, even many of the accompanying personnel became nervous because of this.

Only a very few people knew the whole story in advance, but they also deliberately kept a tense expression and did not reveal any flaws.

"Comrade Haonan, I remember you were born in... 1976?"

"Yes."

Although this leader usually looks kind and good, he is still very oppressive when he is really serious.

If Chang Haonan was not sure that he had never done anything wrong, it would be difficult for him to maintain his normal expression.

Just when the atmosphere was about to be tense to the extreme, the other party's tone suddenly slowed down:

"Then after this year, you will be 30 years old..."

Chang Haonan was a little numb, and could only nod instinctively.

"30 years old... the ancients called it the age of independence, that is, it is the age of independence in knowledge, career, and family."

The leader said while taking another step:

"In terms of knowledge and career, you are independent earlier than most people, but in terms of family..."

"Comrade Haonan, shouldn't you also consider your personal problems?"

The few people who knew the situation next to him finally didn't have to hold it back anymore, and they laughed in a friendly manner.

"Ah..."

"This..."

Chang Haonan was shocked.

In recent years, the organization has indeed been concerned about his personal problems.

But he never expected that it would be raised to such an outrageous height.

Without waiting for him to give an answer, the leader continued:

"I planned to ask the organization department to organize activities to help you solve your life problems... But then I heard that you are very close to a lesbian named Yao, and the other person's background is also clean, so don't hesitate. Well...even if you can still afford to wait, you still have to consider the age of the lesbian. "

"So if there are no special circumstances, your first job after the New Year is to solve family problems..."

Oh boy, this is the job.

No wonder the other party is so sure that it can be completed within three months...

…

Regarding personal issues, as long as Chang Haonan nodded, he didn't need to worry about the rest.

Chang Yuanchao and Zhou Li don't even need to worry.

The organizing department will arrange all the details.

Therefore, after seeing off the leader and his entourage, Chang Haonan devoted himself to the final preparations for the missile test launch.

In fact, before the verification bomb was in place, Figure 160 No. 41175 had already conducted three trial drops of the model bomb, with a success rate of 100%.

It proves that the bomb bay optimization scheme of spoiler + trailing edge slope is completely feasible.

Therefore, the remaining work is actually to ensure that the technical status of the missile itself is intact.

all the best.

January 28, 2006.

Saturday, Lunar New Year's Eve.

The lights illuminated the entire airport like daylight.

Originally, Chang Haonan hoped to complete the test launch mission before the Chinese New Year, which would be a perfect end to the Yiyou Year of the lunar calendar.

But God was not kind to us. For several days, the meteorological conditions in the test firing area did not meet the requirements.

Although the missile itself allows for launch in all-weather conditions, the optical observation equipment requires good weather conditions to function.

By a strange combination of circumstances, the day of the test launch happened to coincide with New Year's Eve.

The Tu-160 is too large to enter the hangar, so a series of operations such as refueling and mounting bombs can only be completed in one hangar.

For safety reasons, key members of the project, including Chang Haonan, were not allowed to enter the apron and could only watch the lively scene from a distance in the tower command post.

At this time, the aircraft's maintenance work has been completed, and more than a dozen technicians are loading the verification bomb that has just completed propellant filling into the bomb bay.

Just a few minutes ago, four crew members, wearing orange anti-gravity flight suits, entered the cockpit of the aircraft along the ramp behind the nose landing gear.

Captain Deng Yuangang’s voice soon came over the radio:

"Plane No. 15 reported that the aircraft was successfully powered on, all electrical equipment self-tests were normal, and the wing control surface activities were normal..."

Next is weapons operator Xu Huasheng:

"All components of the bomb bay are operating normally. One round of ammunition numbered GC-X has been confirmed to be connected to the weapon control system..."

"..."

The four crew members completed the report according to their own division of labor.

The tower commander and the engineer responsible for aircraft modification also inquired about the operation of some key equipment and systems.

With the assistance of several ground support vehicles, the four NK32 afterburning turbofan engines were started.

The white swan spread its wings gracefully and drove along the taxiway to the take-off standby position at the end of the runway.

Then, everyone's eyes focused on Chang Haonan at the same time.

The person in charge of the flight plan, Colonel Wang Zhanxue, stood up and handed the radio communication device to the former’s hand:

"Academician Chang, please give the order!"

The moment he took the phone, Chang Haonan could feel his heart beating up and down, making a dull and powerful sound.

Since the first flight of the J-11WS equipped with a turbofan 10, he seemed to have never had such an experience.

After taking a deep breath, Chang Haonan put the microphone to his mouth:

"Comrades, history will remember this day."

"I announce that the hypersonic verification project has officially begun testing!"

Almost at the same time as the words fell.

At the end, a powerful light brown airflow was ejected from the tail of the huge bomber.

The air waves caused by the high temperature even refract the light passing here.

The voice on the other end of the radio was a little dull, and the pilot had obviously put on an oxygen mask:

"Plane 15, prepare to take off!"

"Permission to take off!"

Although this was not the first time he had seen such a spectacular sight, the tower commander's voice was still trembling.

After Deng Yuangang confirmed that all four engine speeds had reached stability, he released the brake with his left hand.

Along with the slight vibration on the control stick, a pushing feeling that was more powerful than other bombers came, pressing his body firmly against the backrest.

A sharp roar resounded throughout the ears, the red pointer of the speedometer quickly started to rotate clockwise from 0, and the five digits below alternated.

100km/h, 200km/h, 300km/h……

When the speed reached 350km/h, Deng Yuangang gently pulled the joystick in front of him backwards.

The entire plane immediately raised its head, floating gracefully and lightly off the ground, dragging four blue arcs of light into the splashing ink-like night sky...
