Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 367

“What’s the attitude in Pakistan? They mentioned it once before, but there has been no movement since then.” Wang Guilin asked Xie Kai after making tea for the two Xiong Hongyuan himself.

Everyone looked at Xie Kai.

Although the base has a lot of money now, so far, there are also a lot of projects.

The fighter project has never gotten a new source.

“Pakistan is indeed more urgent. The American F-16 is not only expensive, but also has big problems in delivery. India is importing more and more MiG-29s from the Soviet Union, and it is even talking about the introduction of production lines.” Xie Kai said.

Zheng Yucheng couldn’t see him hanging people’s appetite the most, “Don’t rectify those useless, just talk about the point. A waste of time!”

The attitude of Zheng Yucheng surprised both Xiong Hongyuan and Huo Haiyuan.

The old fellow Sun Daogan didn’t fool people, and told them the truth, worthy of socializing.

If Xie Kai doesn’t have such a good relationship with the management committee, they will be in trouble.

“Pakistan wants a fighter production line, but it doesn’t look down on our J-7 or J-8. If these two fighters will sell production lines in China…” Xie Kai said disdainfully, “They are worried that we will not be able to provide The fighter they need.”

“Not a new project?” Xiong Hongyuan finally found a chance to chip in.

“It’s a new project. Our foundation is not good. The J-8II project cooperates with the United States, and I don’t know when it will succeed. They will definitely not get it. After all, we only have 50 remodeled in China. MiG-25 and MiG- 29. There is no fighter in our country that can defend. Not to mention the Tu-22M backfire bomber. Mr. Xiong, if you don’t like to hear, fighters like the J-7, if you don’t carefully design and modify them greatly, If you don’t solve the quality problem, no one really wants it.” Xie Kai’s words made both Xiong Hongyuan and Huo Haiyuan embarrassed.

The production quality problem of the J-7 has indeed not been effectively resolved.

“The Soviets also have a heavy fighter, the Su-27, which has already begun to equip troops. The international community does not know this news yet…” Xie Kai said, “I heard that the Indians are also seeking to introduce such fighters.”

Huo Haiyuan wanted to ask how Xie Kai knew.

It hasn’t been made public in the world, how did he understand?

Seeing Zheng Yucheng and others did not say a word, they also decisively did not ask.

“Speaking of the important point, the important point! Is your kid itchy? It has to be a dreadful appetite.” Zheng Yucheng was impatient.

“The point is, they want to cooperate, but they are worried that our technology is too poor to provide them with satisfaction. The initial idea is to let us design the drawings first, and after they demonstrate and analyze, decide whether to invest.” Xie Kai said.

“That’s nonsense! What good things are you thinking about.” Zheng Yucheng looked disdainful.

Xiong Hongyuan and others also began to worry.

“So, this kind of cooperation plan definitely won’t work. After I patiently convinced them, they think my proposal is more feasible.” Xie Kai said shamelessly.

Even Bai Yanjun can’t stand it anymore, “You kid don’t stick to your face. After talking so much, what do you have? How come you are like the gourd guy, who is in such a bad water all day, we don’t write business affairs, it seems Bragging all day…”

“Gourd is shameless. I have a lot of face than him.” Xie Kai looked contemptuously, “Gourd provided me with a plan, which is to use the J-7 as the basis and use the F that we obtained in the hands of the Iraqis. -14’s avionics system is upgraded with the fire control system to create an aircraft that can be used for high and low collocation with fighters such as F-16. Of course, the performance must be as close as possible to the third-generation fighters, and the price must remain the same as that of the second-generation fighters. Water products.”

“It’s impossible! It’s nonsense to provide this plan. It’s close to the performance of the third-generation fighter, and the price of the second-generation fighter, which is not at a loss?” Xiong Hongyuan didn’t know who Xie Kai called the gourd.

Immediately refuted.

That bastard absolutely doesn’t understand the situation. Isn’t this cheating?

Xie Kai glanced at him and sighed, “That product can’t be offended, otherwise, it will make you die the next moment, and you won’t be able to receive the lunch.”

“Okay, let’s talk about business.” Wang Guilin was helpless, and the more he said this, the more biased, “how are you going to solve it?”

“It depends on them. They can’t solve it. Our contract is probably hopeless.” Xie Kai pointed to Xiong Hongyuan and said to Huo Haiyuan, “Huo, what do you think of this plan?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Huo Haiyuan did not expect Xie Kai to ask himself.

In the beginning, they didn’t know much about the whole project.

Now Xie Kai asks him where he can prepare.

“What do they want this fighter for? The avionics system and the fire control system are very difficult for us.” Huo Haiyuan said.

“Defense. It has outstanding mid-to-low-altitude and high-subsonic mobile combat capabilities; better interception and ground attack capabilities; greater range, clearance time, and combat radius; excellent short-range takeoff and landing characteristics and strong weapons Mounting ability…” Xie Kai said about Xiaolong’s characteristics.

For Xiaolong fighters, if the performance indicators are high according to the final design from the beginning, the appearance time of the J-10 will not only be earlier, but there will even be a greater performance improvement.

“There is no specific data for these.” Xiong Hongyuan didn’t understand. How did Xie Kai convince the Pakistanis with this kind of rhetoric.

Zheng Yucheng and the others are also aware of this, and there is no specific performance index at all.

To research and develop, once the project is launched, there will be too many wrangling things.

“So this has to be negotiated and discussed by the three parties, choosing the lowest cost and the most reasonable technical performance index. At the same time, I promised them that the research and development expenditure will not exceed 500 million US dollars.” Xie Kai said.

“What the hell? 500 million dollars? So much?”

“What? 500 million dollars to build such a new fighter?”

Obviously, the base management committee and the people in Rongfei exclaimed that they had different focuses.

Zheng Yucheng and others feel that 500 million US dollars is already a very large sum of money. So far in the base, no project has invested so much, that is more than one billion soft sister coins.

But Xiong Hongyuan and Huo Haiyuan felt it was impossible.

It is completely impossible to use 500 million US dollars to develop a fighter with a performance that is infinitely close to that of the third-generation fighter.

Although the cost of domestically developing fighter jets is far cheaper than that of any country in the world, this price is almost impossible.

“Yes, 500 million US dollars. Two of you, although I know that you feel a little bit fanciful and think we don’t know about fighter development projects. But I think 500 million US dollars is completely enough.” Xie Kai said.

The research and development funds for the Xiaolong fighter only spent a total of US$450 million.

It was the 1990s, when the U.S. dollar had depreciated a lot and purchasing power had fallen a lot.

“It’s impossible.” Although he didn’t admit that he thought Xie Kai as a child didn’t understand, and talked nonsense here, Huo Haiyuan was still unwilling to give up.

“You don’t need to invest in 132 factories and 611 institutes. Naturally, I think the more money the better. Comrades, we are still in the age of hard work and we must tighten our belts to live. It is better to have projects than no projects.” Zheng Yucheng felt, five One hundred million dollars is enough.

A huge amount of funding.

“But this is really difficult for some strong people. From design to flight test, etc., as well as research on avionics systems, fire control systems, etc….” Such a huge fighter project, from materials to finished products, requires too much research.

500 million dollars is not enough.

Only 50 F-8IIs in China and five backup systems cost US$550 million.

What they are going to do now is even better than the J-8II in some performance.

“In fact, as long as this funding is strictly controlled, it is not a big problem. Based on the existing technology of the J-7, this will greatly reduce the cost. Even the No. 10 project that you undertake Some demonstrative techniques are used in this.” The J-10 project should have already begun.

Xiaolong fighter planes can use some of the technologies for demonstration first, just like they do tanks.

Use one cost to develop two sets of technologies, so that the cost is lower.

Xiong Hongyuan looked at Xie Kai with some horror.

The No. 10 project can be said to be a top-secret project. Even in their unit, there are very few people who know about this project.

How did Xie Kai know?

Looking at the horrified eyes of the two, Xie Kai smiled mysteriously, “Don’t ask me how I knew about Project 10, it won’t be yours who leaked the secrets anyway.”

It’s not from Rongfei who leaked the secret, so Xie Kai can know this, obviously from above.

“Our 359 tank project is similar to the current fighter project. Many technologies are used to demonstrate the technology of a new generation of domestic tanks. Based on the 359 tank technology, we will develop more advanced technologies for domestic use. The new fighter projects are the same. , Not used domestically, only for export.” Wang Guilin said to the two.

The two obviously didn’t believe their words.

Wang Guilin’s words reminded Xie Kai of the domestic thinking when the Xiaolong fighter was established.

Rong Fei should be the main person with that idea.

Simply take out that reason today to fool them.

“At present internationally, the main fighters of many countries are old supersonic light fighters, such as MiG-21, J-7, Qiang-5 or Mirage-3, Mirage-5, etc. The service life of these fighters will soon be It will end. The West can replace these fighters with new types of fighters. All the problems are expensive. The main problem that these users consider is the price…”

Knowing that Xiaolong’s export situation would not be as optimistic as expected, Xie Kai also knew it.

Get rid of the shortcomings of Xiaolong fighter, this fighter will have a very strong competitiveness in the international arena.

“Specially develop a fighter jet for export?” Xiong Hongyuan and Huo Haiyuan asked with some excitement.

At present, even the J-7 and J-8 cannot be equipped with a few aircraft in China, and a small amount is produced every year to ensure that the production line is not abandoned, and further technical modifications are made to the fighter to improve its performance.

The development of fighters for export is far more promising than the development of fighters for domestic use.
