Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1347

There are no people like him in the Soviet Union who should not have appeared in this era.

Sometimes Xie Kai even wondered if he was born again in the Soviet Union, would he still have a chance to turn the tide and save the already dying Soviet Union.

He thought about it many times, in the Soviet Union, even if his father is like Li Gang, it is probably impossible.

The Soviet Union will never have a manager like Zheng Yucheng who puts all the chips on him, and leading cadres will not give them as many policies as Long Yaohua and others.

Seeing that there are many airplanes in the workshop being assembled, there are not many workers working.

Knowing what was going on, Xie Kai still showed a look of confusion, and asked the Ukrainians: “It seems that the work tasks in the factory are not very heavy. Is this because the delivery period is very long, so the work is under-started?”

When this was asked, the Ukrainians’ faces became embarrassed.

Diminov awkwardly explained to Xie Kai: “Thanks, it’s not because the production delivery period is too long. At present, our workers are undergoing training. Therefore, a rotation system is adopted to ensure 24-hour production and to ensure that skilled workers have sufficient rest. To meet the production tasks with the promotion of time, the skilled workers are divided into several shifts to work.”

He didn’t even believe this.

There are few people and work in shifts, which is just to fool the Chinese.

The reality is that the Soviet Union’s domestic financial allocations have been reduced. In order to ensure that everyone has income, the factory divided the assembly technicians and on-site technicians into several batches, which only took one day to work. They were divided into three days to work, only a third of each day. One person works.

As a result, the construction progress was delayed, and the workers’ income was naturally only one-third of the original.

Although the income is low, at least it can ensure that all cadres and employees have a job, can get part of the income, and solve the most basic survival problem.

Diminov saw Xie Kai suspicious, knowing that this kid was shrewd like a fox, and said to Xie Kai: “Thank you, I wonder if you are interested in a big airplane like An-225?”

Xie Kai looked at Diminov, the old guy couldn’t stand it so quickly.

Is he so anxious to sell An-225 to?

Xie Kai frowned and shook his head at Diminov.

“Minister, we really want to have this kind of aircraft, but for now, we can only think about it. The An-225 aircraft is too big, and we don’t have any supplies in our country that need to be transported by such an aircraft. Not only is there no space shuttle Blizzard. , And no rocket needs this kind of aircraft launch to reduce costs. What’s more, even if you get it back, there is no technology that can successfully launch a rocket on the back of the aircraft.”

Xie Kai thought that Ukrainians finally started to show their attitude and promote An-225.

In order to keep the price down, I started playing with my usual methods again.

Diminov couldn’t help being dumbfounded when he heard Xie Kai’s words.

Urgently explained: “No, no, no… It is not the sale of An-225 to your country. The production of the second An-225 is also due to demand. What we mean is that the two sides can carry out technical cooperation, Antonov You have already seen the technology and level of the design bureau.”

Not selling An-225?

Xie Kai was taken aback for a moment.

He quickly recovered and shook his head and said, “We can’t even support an aircraft, let alone possess such technology. Although we really want to have it, conditions do not permit it. Whether it is a take-off and landing airport or other supporting facilities in China , Even the production line needs to be improved…”

The takeoff distance of An-225 needs 3,200 meters, and the entire runway needs to be repaired to at least 5 kilometers long.

There are other necessary supporting equipment, which China does not have at all.

Once the technology is actually introduced, the amount of funds required is huge, and China simply cannot afford it.

Hearing what Xie Kai said, Diminov was a bit disappointed.

The original plan was to provide the low-end technology of the Antonov Design Bureau to China, and to use technical cooperation to obtain funds from China to complete the construction of the second An-225.

But from the current situation, it seems that the other party is not interested in cooperation.

Does Xie Kai really not understand?

On the An-225, technical cooperation is inherently impossible.

What Xie Kai said is also the fact that a large aircraft such as the An-225 is a harsh test for any country’s industrial foundation.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Whether it is manufacturing strength or basic supporting facilities, China will not work. Even maintenance is inconvenient.

This aircraft even has very high requirements for take-off and landing runways.

It is not difficult for an airport runway to have such a length. To withstand the impact force of an aircraft with a payload of more than 600 tons when taking off and landing, the standard requirements for the runway are very high.

Obviously, Xie Kai misunderstood what the Ukrainian meant. He thought the other party wanted to provide An-225 manufacturing technology.

“Aren’t you also working on large aircraft? We can provide technical support so that you can have the design and production capacity of 200-ton or even 300-ton large aircraft as soon as possible.”

When Diminov saw Xie Kai acting stupid, he clarified the topic.

He didn’t want to just let Xie Kai go.

This is Antonov’s life-saving straw, and it is also the only fat sheep that can be slaughtered at present. If the sheep is not slaughtered, at least a handful of wool must be gathered.

Cannot get funding from the Chinese, how will the second An-225 be manufactured?

The above has asked for the storage of the second An-225 under construction, and use some common parts as spare parts for the An-124 and An-70. Antonov and the Ministry of Aviation Industry of Ukraine are obviously unwilling.

Yuliaf looked at Xie Kai, “Thank you, your domestic air force does not have a large military transport aircraft? We can provide you with the full set of technology for the An-22 transport aircraft.”

The main transport aircraft of the Chinese Air Force is Yun-8.

This kind of transport aircraft is an imitation of the Soviet An-12 transport aircraft, both in range and carrying capacity are relatively small, and can not transport heavy equipment.

An-22 is a long-range heavy strategic transport aircraft developed by the Antonov Design Bureau.

When it was first put into service, it was the only transport aircraft capable of carrying T-62 tanks in the Soviet Union.

This heavy transport aircraft can carry 80 tons of materials and fly 5000 kilometers, and can also carry heavy military equipment such as Scud missiles, rocket launchers, guided missile vehicles, bridge components, and automobiles.

This is the largest turboprop aircraft ever developed in human history, and can take off and land wildly on airstrips in remote areas.

For military transport aircraft, although the transportation speed is relatively slow, the huge carrying capacity is very attractive.

Especially for the Chinese Air Force, which does not have a strategic transport aircraft.

“A-22? Didn’t you stop production in 1974? And this transport aircraft is not produced in large numbers. Now all countries are equipped with jet transport aircraft, and the technology of propeller aircraft is too backward.”

Xie Kai shook his head and refused.

Although his face was as plain as water, Xiao Jiujiu in his heart was thinking about it.

Perhaps it is really possible to introduce the manufacturing technology of this military transport aircraft.

Before, Xie Kai’s mind was on jet planes, turboprop planes were not seen by Xie Kai at all. Moreover, Xie Kai hated transport aircraft like Yun-8.

Turboprop aircraft are relatively good in terms of fuel consumption and transportation cost-effectiveness.

For the Chinese Air Force, which lacks military expenditure, this turboprop transport aircraft is indeed a good choice.

At least the cost is low!

Seeing Xie Kai’s refusal, Antonov’s people suddenly became embarrassed.

Indeed, because of the backward performance of the An-22, the Soviet Air Force did not have much equipment at all, and only ordered 45 aircraft.

This aircraft was discontinued a long time ago because of a small order.

Although the Soviet Air Force still has a part of An-22 in service until now, in civil aviation, there are also dozens of flying flights.

In general, this heavy transport aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 250 tons was not successful.

When the An-22 transport aircraft was designed, Antonov didn’t think about the prospects of the turboprop aircraft.

Diminov looked at Xie Kai’s persuasion and said: “Thanks, for the Chinese Air Force, which lacks funds, this is a very cost-effective transport aircraft. Both the carrying capacity and the range are enough for your Air Force to establish a strategic air force. Compared with jets The An-22 is indeed a bit behind in technology, but it is already the top technical integration of propeller aircraft…”

Xie Kai shook his head resolutely, and once again made it clear that he had no interest in An-22.

His response really worried the people in the Antonov Design Bureau.

For China, a heavy-duty transport aircraft like the An-124 is not only expensive, but the transportation cost is also ridiculously high.

So far, even the Soviet Air Force has not been able to equip how many aircraft. How many aircraft can the Chinese Air Force be equipped with with its insignificant funding?

Upon hearing Diminov’s words, Xie Kai rolled his eyes.

The old guy is using himself as a triumph.

Is it that I am very good at fooling, very good pit?

The A-22 turboprop aircraft is not mainstream in the current development of air forces in various countries.

The mainstream development, that is the jet.

When Barabye saw Xie Kai’s refusal, he was even more disappointed.

They were unable to provide China with the An-124, the top Soviet transport aircraft.

Not only can China not afford it, the Soviet Union will not agree to export this heavy strategic transport aircraft to China. This is the top heavy strategic transport aircraft in the world.

If China purchases the A-22 turboprop aircraft, which has been discontinued for more than a decade because of its backward technology, the Soviet leadership will be very supportive.

This will not only bring considerable benefits to Antonov, but also allow Antonov to produce the second An-225, or develop a new generation of heavy strategic transport aircraft.

More importantly, it can delay the development of China’s large jet aircraft.

Barabye was unwilling to give up like this, and continued to persuade Xie Kai.

“Thank you, the main transport aircraft of the Chinese Air Force is the Yun-8, which is just an imitation of the A-12 transport aircraft. For your domestic aviation industry, the turboprop aircraft technology is already very familiar with the introduction of the A-22, a heavy strategic transport aircraft. It will soon be able to digest and absorb technology, and it will be less difficult to localize…This will play a very important role in improving the technological level of China’s aviation manufacturing industry.”

The new chief designer of Antonov is completely an expression that I consider for the development of China’s aviation manufacturing industry.
