Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"What do you think?"

Wang Jinyang looked at the prototype that had turned into a smaller dot, put away his hands that had been clapping, and looked at Fang Xiang with a smile.

"I said I was so nervous that I couldn't breathe. Do you believe me?"

Fang Xiang covered his heart, let out a long sigh, and forced a smile.

"Xin, I was also very nervous just now...

Although we also test-flew the J-10 together the year before last, one is a second-generation and a half aircraft, and the other is a third-generation aircraft.

It’s a completely different feeling...”

Wang Jinyang took out a pack of cigarettes, first handed one to Fang Xiang, and then put one in his mouth.

When he was about to light it with a match, he remembered that there was a Wu Chang behind him, so he quickly took out another match and handed it to him with a smile.

"You just said your funding was cut in half?"

Fang wanted to move closer, light the fire with a match, take a deep puff, and then look at Wang Jinyang through the rising smoke.

“Well, cut it in half.

Although the model was finalized two months ago, I don’t think the final assembly order will be placed so soon.”

Wang Jinyang also took a puff of his cigarette, and after blowing out a smoke ring, his eyes were still looking in the direction of J-11.

Although there is nothing to see over there.

"Is it because of me?"

After hearing what Wang Jinyang said, Fang Xiang thought about it for a moment and guessed the reason.

"Who else could it be if not you?

You are really generous, 1.2 billion!

It would be great if Factory 112 had so much money... "

Wang Jinyang's eyes seemed a little empty, and the corners of his mouth twitched, which was considered a smile.

“It’s different.

Those devices will not arrive and be installed until next year at the latest.

Moreover, the first batch will definitely be used for J-7.

Once the experimental data of J-7 comes out, we can start mass production.

Only then can reverse engineering begin.

As for the J-10 and J-11, it will take at least five or six years before they can be put into use.”

Fang Xiang shook his head. He knew very well what the bigwigs in the department were thinking.

Nowadays, we can save money and be frugal.

Seeing that new equipment is available for upgrading, why would they place large orders?

What's more, the military spending is also being cut now.

"Can you get a batch of them and bring them to the Northeast so I can try them out?"

Wang Jinyang looked down and landed on Fang Xiang's face.

"Don't worry, no matter who's missing, yours won't be missing, right?!

But I guess even if you pull it over, you won’t be able to go back in a short time.

If you want to modify it, you can give it a try.

But I think the matching work is a bit difficult..."

Fang Xiang smiled as he watched Wang Jinyang's eyes finally regain focus.

“You always have to give it a try.

It's not right to let people look at such advanced equipment but not touch it, right? "

Wang Jinyang smiled.

In fact, there are quite a few people in China who are eyeing this batch of equipment.

Apart from anything else, Factory 320 and Factory 172 have been eyeing it eagerly for a long time.

But now one of them is lonely and the other is a bomber maker, so no matter how they are ranked, they will not be ranked.

The only ones that can be used nowadays are Factories 132 and 112.

"Touch, why don't I let you touch it?

I’ll let you touch as much as you want then!”

Fang Xiang immediately laughed, and said that it was as if he was just like a woman, who could only watch but not do anything.

Wang Jinyang is old and spends all day doing boring work.

Together with Fang Xiang, I have long learned to find joy in adversity.

From time to time, the two of them would find some broken roads to drive on.

"You said, with the J-11, what is the meaning of the J-10?"

However, Wang Jinyang did not continue laughing. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the lush forest in the north.

"The combination of high and low will not be useless, right?"

Fang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and his smile gradually disappeared.

Yes, now that we have the J-11, what is the significance of the J-10?

Originally, the J-10 was created to replace the J-8.

As a typical high-altitude, high-speed second-generation aircraft, the J-8 has undoubtedly achieved results that match its historical status.

Although he is not the fastest. (Mig25 means you can practice more)

The ground-licking performance can only be said to be good. (In front of F4 and A4, do you have the nerve to say that you can lick the ground?)

There's no need to mention horizontal mobility, right? (F5 smiled but said nothing)

And the hypersonic performance... (Lightning is squatting on the side watching you.)

Fortunately, with Fang Xiang's participation, the Eighth Master was able to serve several years earlier.

But the Rabbit family has been very poor over the years. Even if they have new technologies and new models, how could they be willing to eliminate the Eighth Master that they have always been thinking about?

There is no need to think about it, it must be the same as J-7, tirelessly squeezing out its surplus value.

A little improvement here, a little improvement there, and it turned out to be quite useful. By the 90s, it was becoming more and more convenient to use.

I was even more reluctant to eliminate it, so I finally changed it to New Century.

But the J-11 is different.

Compared with the interceptor Baye, which is positioned for national defense, the J-11 is a typical all-weather, multi-purpose offensive third-generation aircraft.

Although it cannot completely replace the role of Mr. Ba.

But the future of J-11 is brighter than that of J-10, which is also obvious to all discerning people.

unless. . .

The J-10 has a cost advantage.

However, the cost of J-8 cannot be surpassed by J-10 in any way.

Not to mention the J-8 that was modified with a dual three-shock wave variable air inlet, and its successor, the JF-17.

Which one is not the leader in terms of cost?

Even the huge horizontal tail of the Eighth Master and its poor rudder effect can only be described as a flying brick with great force.

Moreover, due to the defect of its vortex-free lift configuration, it can only increase drag by forcing the angle of attack, making it completely untenable in front of the F14\15\16\18.

But you can’t help but think it’s cheap?!

Even in the later stages of service, it can be converted into a drone.

Apart from that, the Eighth Master is actually not as famous as the Seventh Master.

At least Qi Ye has exported to many countries.

But when have you ever seen a country buy Baye?

So this is why Fang Xiang has never thought highly of the Seventh and Eighth Masters.

There is no way, Fang Xiang is the person who was spoiled by J-10 and J-20 in later generations.

Looking at Wang Jinyang, whose smile no longer appeared on his face, Fang Xiang could only make up an excuse to comfort him.

"Do you believe this yourself?"

Wang Jinyang and Fang Xiang have been friends for almost twenty years, so naturally they can talk about whatever they want.

Even things that he couldn't say to outsiders, he dared to say anything in front of Fang Xiang.

As soon as the words fell, Wu Chang, who was standing behind and listening to the two people chatting, immediately turned around and walked aside.

"What do you think?"

Fang Xiang sighed secretly. This was why Father Liu had asked him to come to Factory 132 to be in charge of the J-11.

He didn't say much about the underlying reason.

The J-10 can be said to have been born at the wrong time. If it had been launched ten years earlier...

No, even if I was born five years earlier, it wouldn’t be as embarrassing as it is now.

Now it seems that it is a waste of number 10, which is a number that the other party thinks is quite meaningful.

“The J-10 project is basically over.

There will be only so much work in the future, and it won’t be very challenging for me.

As for the J-11, you also developed it, so I had no chance to participate.

So, how about we work together and make a J-12?"

Wang Jinyang's face suddenly lit up.

He clenched his fists and looked at Fang Xiang.

"J-12..."

After hearing what Wang Jinyang said, Fang Xiang was speechless.

Fang Xiang once remembered that there was a number called J-12.

Unfortunately, it was an abandoned project that collapsed halfway.

When Wang Jinyang said this, Fang Xiang felt it was a bit far-fetched.

Because of the proposal submitted by Fang Xiang in the early years, the J-12 never had a chance to be born.

Instead, it was replaced by the J-10 and J-11.

Seeing that the J-11 has successfully completed its test flight, if there are no accidents today, after the data collection is completed.

After another round of adjustments and modifications, we can enter the testing machine progress.

But Wang Jinyang suddenly asked him about designing a new aircraft?

I can't just take out the JF-17, right?
