Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1349

Xie Kai knew that Bai Yanjun would not believe it.

If he hadn’t come from later generations, he wouldn’t believe such a statement.

It’s all nonsense.

“After the Americans created the C-130, they built another warehouse. The height and width did not change much, but the so-called strategic projection transport aircraft C-141 with increased capacity and range. This strategic transport aircraft has a short warehouse. It is narrow. For countries like us that lack a large aircraft platform, it can be used as a large special aircraft platform such as aerial refueling aircraft and early warning aircraft. For the Soviet Union and the United States, it does not have much effect at all.”

Since Bai Yanjun didn’t believe it, Xie Kai naturally wanted to convince him.

At least, tell him why the Soviets were pitted by the Americans.

Immediately introduced Bai Yanjun to the development process of large transport aircraft in the Soviet and American aviation industries.

“The Americans came up with the C-141, and the Soviets fought against each other, and then came up with the Il-76. In terms of performance, the Il-76 completely surpassed the C-141. The Americans refused to admit defeat and created a high and high warehouse. The C-5 is wide and the body is very rough, but the C-5 is terribly poor in take-off and landing performance. The Soviet Union directly boarded the An-124, a more powerful and large transport aircraft.”

Bai Yanjun and the others are aware of these situations.

Besides, Bai Yanjun is in charge of the base aviation project and understands better.

“It’s not better than the Soviets, so the Americans had to do a two-stage transport, transported by C-5 to the airport, and then transported by C-130 to the front line.”

Xie Kai clearly knows why the Americans want to do this.

The An-124’s ability to take off and land in the wild is equally strong, even the An-225 is the same.

“Both countries are powerful countries, and the technological strength is much stronger than ours. What are we going to join in the excitement? Just develop with peace of mind. How can you think about things that are high-profile all day long? We don’t care about our technical reserves, It is still the industrial base, and even the funds cannot be compared with them, and the Air Force has no funds… Besides, the Air Force has no demand for long-range strategic transport aircraft.”

Bai Yanjun warned Xie Kai.

For Xie Kai, his view is not correct.

The Air Force does not even have much equipment for the medium-range Yun-8. The Air Force also wants to equip large transport aircraft, but because it has no money, the idea of ​​building a strategic projection force is only at the stage of thinking.

Inability to move in the direction of implementation, right?

Xie Kai looked at Bai Yanjun and still wanted to convince him. He knew that Bai Yanjun would never object to An-124.

The An-22 turboprop aircraft is indeed regarded as a representative of backward technology.

“Uncle Bai, there is actually no need to introduce the An-22 to produce directly in China. It is entirely possible to make some modifications after the introduction. For example, the fuselage is shortened by a few meters, and the maximum load capacity is slightly reduced to 75 tons or even 70 tons. The economy will be greatly improved.”

Xie Kai talked about the assumptions he had seen on the Internet.

For the Chinese Air Force, which is short of money and desperately in need of replacement, saving money is the most important.

Any transport aircraft must save various expenses.

Xie Kai also knew that in the 1990s, the Air Force would purchase the Il-76 military transport aircraft from Russia because of development and construction needs.

The price of that stuff is not only high, but the operating cost is also high, and the maintenance is even higher.

“If the turboprop An-22 is used, for the Air Force, although the speed is slower, the carrying capacity is much larger than that of the Il-76, and the field take-off and landing capabilities and projecting capabilities are much stronger. We got this An- 22 is modified, not only can directly deliver heavy equipment to the frontline field airport, the cost will also be reduced a lot. It is suitable for the future development needs of the Air Force.”

359 tanks, the total combat weight is only 38 tons.

An An-22 can transport 2 359 tanks at a time.

Bai Yanjun sounds like it makes sense, but in fact thinks that this thing is not needed by the domestic air force.

At present, once the large transport aircraft is introduced again, the development of the Yun-15 will be seriously affected.

How can he agree?

Even if I help Qin Fei to introduce it, it will not work.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Qin Fei had no money, so he had to ask them to pay for 404 for the introduction of this aircraft production technology.

“Have you ever thought that Qin Fei does not have the money to bring in, so we still have to pay in advance. The Air Force cannot invest, and the national financial allocation is even more unreliable. The funds are squeezed out and all the base expenses have to be compressed.”

Bai Yanjun persuaded Xie Kai with all his heart.

However, Xie Kai didn’t listen to advice at all.

“There is no need for investment from the Air Force or financial appropriation. You can directly import the full set of production technology of the An-22 from the Soviet Union. For them, there will be no difficulty in the introduction of the abandoned transport aircraft with backward performance. Even for the Soviet Union, it would be very happy to see us introduce this kind of aircraft.”

A technologically powerful China, the Soviet Union and the United States are unwilling to see it.

The more advanced Chinese technology is, the greater the competitive pressure it will create.

After China has digested these technologies, it is entirely possible that it will export to the international market.

Internationally, jet military transport aircraft is already highly competitive, and a strong opponent is added to the market. Which country does not want to see?

The An-22, which is considered to be a backward turboprop, is not only beneficial to China in terms of low operating costs, it can be used as a military transport aircraft, but also as a civil aviation passenger aircraft.

As the chief designer of the Antonov Design Bureau said, this can be a perfect upgrade to China’s aviation manufacturing technology.

China’s aviation industry system was developed based on the Soviet Union.

Before Antonov developed a large transport aircraft such as An-124, his energy was focused on turboprop aircraft.

The An-22 is the world’s largest turboprop aircraft, which is the pinnacle of turboprop aircraft.

For the Chinese aviation industry, the technology is the same, and the industrial standards are the same. Once the An-22 is introduced, the technology and performance of the An-12 technology that has been digested can be quickly upgraded to the An-22 level.

Bai Yanjun really couldn’t persuade Xie Kai to give up the idea of ​​introducing it.

Xie Kai has said that he can borrow from the Soviet Union, how can he object?

“Do you really want to do it? The Air Force really doesn’t have such a demand at the moment!”

“It’s not that we want to do it, but Antonov has to sell us the technology of this transport aircraft. Maybe they just want to sell the aircraft. Antonov’s manufacturing plant has no orders, and the workers are divided into several shifts… …”

Xie Kai introduced Antonov’s situation.

“Our reserve of technical talents is not enough.” Bai Yanjun continued to find reasons.

He disagreed with Xie Kai’s introduction of this An-22 turboprop that was abandoned by the Soviet Union for more than a decade.

The Soviets have given up for more than ten years, and there is absolutely no reason.

As Xie Kai said, the Soviets can pick it up and continue development.

Xie Kai was tempted when Antonov’s people put it forward, so why did he give up so easily?

“Insufficient talent reserves are not a problem. While digesting and cultivating talents, wait until the Soviet Union is no longer good, and then recruit people from the Antonov Design Bureau. Before the fall of the Soviet Union, we must reach cooperation with Antonov. Only in the process of cooperation. In order to truly understand the situation of their technical team and get in touch with various core technical personnel.”

The reason why Xie Kai has always wanted to expand cooperation with the Soviet Union, even an aircraft like the An-22, is not only that the An-22 is of great benefit to China’s aviation industry.

In the process of cooperation, Chinese personnel can contact Antonov’s designers and technical backbones through normal official channels.

This is the main reason why Xie Kai is keen to cooperate with the Soviets, and it is also the last thing he can’t give up.

Once the Soviet Union disintegrated and competed with Western countries for Soviet talents, China, which had a poor economy and a backward foundation, did not have much advantage.

It can only be laid out in advance.

Liu Dongsheng has been operating in Ukraine for such a long time. With his ability alone, he can’t get in touch with the technical backbone of different types of factories.

In that case, the purpose is too obvious.

Xie Kai hopes to continuously expand technical cooperation with the Soviet Union in the two years before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Whether it is a fighter plane or a large transport plane, as long as you cooperate, you can get in touch with the core technical personnel of the Soviet Union, and in the process of understanding, you can determine who you want.

By digging only the most core technical backbone and bringing the new with the old after returning to China, a large number of talents can be cultivated for the domestic aviation industry in a short period of time.

Decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the domestic aviation manufacturing industry has been developing slowly because of the slow pace of talent training.

Although the Yun-20 has been developed, the maximum take-off weight of the Yun-20 is only 220 tons, and the maximum load is only about 66 tons.

The maximum take-off weight is only 220 tons, while the maximum take-off weight of An-22 is 250 tons…

Now is a good opportunity, Antonov is almost unable to survive.

Actively promoting the technology of An-22 to Xie Kai, in fact, they have already begun to want to rely on selling technology to save lives, and they will sell any technology in the future.

If you start with the introduction of An-22 technology and continue to develop, when the original world transport-20 comes out, although China’s technological development is not enough to produce an An-225, at least an An-124 with a take-off weight of 400 tons should be The problem is not big.

In order to persuade Bai Yanjun, Xie Kai is also for various reasons.

“Uncle Bai, the Antonov Design Bureau once wanted to change the An-22 into a double-cabin civil aircraft that can carry 700 passengers. But the technology is relatively large, there is no suitable engine, plus no money, and The Soviet Union abandoned this aircraft, and finally had to give up. The An-124 heavy transport aircraft was used to replace the An-22, and the two have many of the same technologies…”

What Antonov fudged Xie Kai was used by Xie Kai to fool Bai Yanjun.

Xie Kai hasn’t said that the takeoff distance of this thing is only 1,300 meters, and the landing distance is only 800 meters. The runway requirements are not strict, and it inherits the usual style of the Soviet aircraft-wild takeoff and landing.

“Will it be useful if I say objection?” Bai Yanjun gave up and convinced Xie Kai to give up.

Xie Kai shook his head.

Bai Yanjun looked at Xie Kai, only sighed and stopped talking.

Xie Kai comforted Bai Yanjun, “Uncle Bai, this is really good for us… Now we should communicate with Qin Fei’s people as soon as possible, Director Wang and Lao Zheng and the others…”
