I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 19 Just Paint It

Air Force Equipment Demonstration Office.

Sun Changxing lit Zhongnanhai one by one, and the whole room seemed to be on fire.

Once a man is under a lot of pressure, there are only two ways for him to relieve it.

The first discipline does not allow it, so Sun Changxing can only choose the second one.

"Director, it's me, Xiao Zhang."

Zhang Mingrui opened the door and came in. The sudden change in air pressure caused smoke to suddenly gush out.

He almost suffocated.

He took two quick steps to the window, opened it to allow for convection, and then he was able to speak.

"My God, Director, the way you draw, the next aircraft carrier will definitely be named after you."

"Stop making fun of me. It's annoying."

"You can't set the house on fire just because you're upset. Haven't you seen the commercials on TV? The lungs of long-time smokers are so black. Isn't that scary?"

“So I quit watching TV.”

"..."

Zhang Mingrui frowned slightly, his eyes full of disgust.

But he is my superior, so I can't say much.

If it were your subordinates smoking like this.

Zhang Mingrui specifically asked to give him a verbal warning.

"Yesterday, we received news from the West Research Institute that the seventh trial production also failed, which means that the materials for the Ryzen project will be delayed indefinitely once again."

"Then you wouldn't commit suicide."

Zhang Mingrui is still relatively optimistic.

Because the entire argumentation department had not had much hope for this kind of material before.

After so many failures, people become numb.

Sun Changxing gave a helpless smile and said, "In addition, the latest report from the Metamaterials Research Institute shows that the data of the radar-absorbing coating they trial-produced is not satisfactory."

"The radar reflection area is 0.0047."

"This result is far below expectations and far below the advanced level abroad."

Zhang Mingrui suddenly withdrew his disdainful look and stared at his leader.

"what do you mean?"

"This means that the preliminary research of the two stealth fighters we have is postponed indefinitely."

"Do you have any cigarettes left? Give me one too."

Two rough old men were standing on the left and right, with dual-circulation self-aspirating air, making the visibility in the room even lower.

House seemingly endless rain.

The Ryzen UAV project, which the Third Department is responsible for, has been stagnant.

In fact, people in the three places have already gotten used to it.

But at this time, news came that the trial production of the radar-absorbing coating was not satisfactory.

It's just adding insult to injury.

In comparison, the drone project pales in comparison.

After a long sigh, the cigarettes in the box were almost gone.

Upon seeing this, Sun Changxing immediately took back the cigarette box with resentment and put it in his pocket.

"If you want to smoke, go buy it yourself. My wife is very strict. What will I do if I run out of cigarettes?"

"I'll buy you a box."

"That won't work. There are rules. This counts as bribery."

After taking back the cigarette box, Sun Changxing looked down at the documents Zhang Mingrui left on the table.

It was obvious that Zhang Mingrui came to see him for something.

But it's nothing important.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have joined me in complaining and feeling sorry for myself.

"What's up?"

"Oh, there's a report from Rong Fei."

"Ryzen after material downgrade?"

"Yes, it's good news. The laboratory data are out."

Zhang Mingrui slowly stood up and handed the warm report to Sun Changxing, but his heart was not very warm.

Since they couldn't make airplanes with new materials, they had to settle for the next best thing and downgrade the materials.

But in this way, the aircraft parameters will be greatly reduced.

"The plan is feasible, but the data is not very good. It can only be regarded as a replacement."

While Zhang Mingrui was explaining, Sun Changxing put on his glasses.

He quickly captured the key data in the report.

"Range 1200?"

"Deadweight 6.2, load 1.6?"

"Maximum Dragon 28 hours?"

"You call this a substitute? This is the beggar's version!"

Su Changxing anticipated the parameter discounts after the materials were downgraded.

But he didn't expect it to be half price!

This is a far cry from the data proposed during Ryzen's initial pre-research.

Zhang Mingrui could only comfort his superiors with the official statement of Rongfei: "There is no other way. The main material has changed and the weight of the aircraft has increased dramatically. Unless there is progress in materials science, this is the best solution."

"Bullshit! If the data is this, it's better to go find a tailwind."

Although Sun Changxing personally visited Shunfeng.

But he only regarded Shunfeng as a backup. The reason was that this matter sounded too mysterious.

First of all, there are technical doubts.

Even though the wind tunnel test data released previously was impressive, it was only the first step in a journey of a thousand miles.

Secondly, the progress may not keep up.

After all, it is a private enterprise, who knows how long it will take them to make that plane.

If it takes ten or eight years, you can't rely on it at all.

But now.

Sun Changxing had to seriously consider this backup plan.

"What's the news from Shunfeng?"

Zhang Mingrui immediately took out his magic notebook and searched for the information.

"I heard they had a test flight some time ago."

"So fast? Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you polish it slowly? Then what?"

"We conducted several test flights, and the Civil Aviation Administration held several talks with us, saying that we were disturbing the public, and then there was no follow-up."

"However, the military-civilian integrated support project we applied for them is in progress, and they have already started participating in exercises."

Having said this, Sun Changxing sighed again.

Too anxious.

A new project is put into test flight right out of the laboratory.

Can it be good?
Most likely, after a few test flights, it encountered structural problems and was difficult to produce, so it disappeared.

Zhang Mingrui was also very worried: "I don't think it can be done, otherwise there should be at least some news."

"Contact the experts of the Ryzen project and ask them to come over and take a look."

"Director, you are not really pinning your hopes on Shunfeng, are you?"

"It's a backup plan anyway. Even if it can't be used in the future, helping Shunfeng with some guidance won't waste resources."

Hear this.

Zhang Mingrui couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.

You are worthy of being a leader.

Stand far ahead and have a broad vision.

People look at the problem from the overall perspective of the industrial system.

Even if the tailwind aircraft cannot be used for one's own purposes, it should still help the development of private enterprises.

Whether military or civilian, they are all our own children, the same.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang.

Recently, whenever this phone rings, it means bad news.

Sun Changxing was a little PTSD after listening to this. He glanced at Zhang Mingrui and motioned him to go and answer it.

"Hey, three arguments, please."

"..."

"Yes, we do have a long-range unmanned bomber project."

"..."

"There's no progress. Why are you in the Jinling Military Region suddenly concerned about this?"

"..."

"really?"

"..."

"Okay! I'll let you know right away."

"..."

"Understood. We will send capable personnel over!"

Sun Changxing walked to the bed and lit another cigarette, as he had lost interest in it.

But Zhang Mingrui, who answered the phone, had an increasingly hot look in his eyes, and his voice and movements became much louder.

Sun Changxing's heart also began to itch.

"What makes you so happy?"

"The Jinling Military Region said they found a project about unmanned bomber."

"???"

Sun Changxing was suddenly stunned.

There are too many flaws in this sentence.

Why are combat troops concerned about scientific research?

Also, what is discovery?

Do they think that scientific research projects are the same as digging wild vegetables?

Can we use the verb "discover"?

However, Zhang Mingrui's expression has completely changed from gloomy to sunny.

"They said the project data is very objective, the range is conservatively 2000, the payload is conservatively more than 2.5 tons, and the maximum airborne hours is 30 hours!"

When Sun Changxing heard this string of numbers, his head buzzed.

Just looking at this number alone may not have much impact on them.

But after hearing the parameters of the downgraded version of Ryzen, these numbers are very impressive.

At any rate, it's better than what they have on hand.

Sun Changxing put out the half-burned cigarette and his eyes widened as big as goose eggs.

"How do you say it? Which institute? Is it paper technology or laboratory technology?"

"It's not technology! It's ready-made. They said just paint it!"
