Lei Gang did not express his opinion on Zhao Sui's speech. After a brief silence, someone raised his hand to ask for a speech.

Chen Nian looked in the direction of the person who raised his hand. There was a nameplate on the table in front of him, senior engineer, Lu Yan.

Hello leaders and colleagues, I have some thoughts of my own regarding Zhao Sui's suggestion.

As he spoke, he turned to Zhao Sui, first nodded politely, and then said:

First of all, I think Comrade Zhao Sui's ideas are good and represent the expectations of most of us.

Yes, everyone wants to build a fighter that truly belongs to us, instead of imitating the planes eliminated by Big Brother every year.

But the problem is that our resources are limited, funds are limited, technology and talents are limited.

This limitation determines that we must be pragmatic and prudent when formulating project goals.

Comrade Zhao Sui said that we want to build aircraft and expand the boundaries of the project. I would like to ask, how to expand?

Now we still have blueprints for the airframe, but when it comes to the internal structure, it is already a huge difficulty.

For an airplane to finally take off, hydraulics, flight control, electronics, radar, power, fuel... Which system is the simplest?

If airplanes could be built just by talking about them, I believe our airspace would already be filled with airplanes.

So, my suggestion is exactly the opposite of Zhao Sui's. I think we should base ourselves on the existing technology, cherish this important breakthrough, and work hard on the basis of this breakthrough, striving to be ahead and ahead in a single module.

After listening to his speech, everyone nodded in unison, even Chen Nian was no exception.

It is undeniable that compared with Zhao Sui's idealism, the prudence and planning shown in Lu Yan's speech are indeed extremely rare.

In the case of insufficient resources, it is actually a strategy that China has used for a long time to deeply cultivate a certain field, achieve breakthroughs at a single point, and finally achieve asymmetric competition and overtaking on corners.

As everyone in Institute 601 knew that Chen Nian had provided accurate outline drawings and some structural drawings, but they didn't know that he could continue to provide more information and technology, this was undoubtedly the choice with the highest expectations.

The income is stable and the risk is controllable.

Of course, this was definitely not the result Chen Nian wanted.

If a project is qualitative at the very beginning, it will be very troublesome to extend and expand later, which will have a major impact on efficiency.

He glanced around and was about to speak on his own initiative, but unexpectedly, someone rushed ahead of him.

Or Zhao Sui.

Gong Lu, I agree with your opinion, but what I need to point out is that the situation we are facing now is different from the past.

On the one hand, the actions of the United States in Iraq have shattered all the illusions of all countries in the world. Modern warfare has been upgraded from ground warfare to air warfare. The beginning and end of a war will be in the air.

This is the trend of the times and the necessity of technological progress.

This point determines our strategic direction: from the ground to the air.

On the other hand, the activities of various types of reconnaissance aircraft are becoming more and more frequent around the world, and conflicts are becoming more and more distant. The Barents Sea scalpel incident is a typical representative. The external pressure faced by countries is becoming more and more serious. big.

This point determines our strategic pace: it can only be fast, not slow!

The last aspect, in this new project, we have solved a series of problems one after another, including the structure of the airframe, the full-motion horizontal tail and other components, and even the manufacturing method of the main structural material TC4!

What does that mean? It means that the opportunity has arrived.

Of course, as a party member, I shouldn't say idealistic words, but I believe in luck, and from all signs, our fortune is high now, and we should take advantage of the victory and pursue it!

Of course, the fortune I'm talking about is actually explained from a scientific point of view. It should be a kind of accumulation. Our foundation has been laid. At this juncture that is about to explode, 601 should not be absent!

Listening to Zhao Sui's speech, Chen Nian's brow furrowed and relaxed for a while.

At the very beginning, he thought that Zhao Sui was just an idealistic, overly radical and simple scientific researcher, but now, his view has been reversed.

This is definitely not an impulsive nerd.

His speech was deliberate and carefully deduced.

His judgment of the situation is extremely accurate, and the foresight shown in it is even comparable to himself as a time traveler.

What's even more amazing is that he actually talked about fortune.

What is luck?

In fact, there is no such thing as luck in a country, and the fate of a country is even more nonsense.

All the results that seem to be due to luck are actually the accumulation of little details.

It seems that twenty years later, when you look back at this era, you will find that this era is the era where many advanced equipment and advanced technologies originated, but is that because of our luck?

no!

The real reason, just like what Zhao Sui said, is to keep a low profile to a certain extent, and the time to make a lot of money gradually arrives.

The reasons you mentioned are too macroscopic. We all understand your concerns and your expectations, but the problem is that we always have to return to reality and look at our own feet.

Back to the original question, how many technical difficulties do we have to build an airplane?

We all know what the No. 22 project is targeting, so there's no need to hide it, just compare it horizontally.

Let's talk about the problem of aviation development first. Can we solve the heat-resistant material? Can we solve the TCB? Can we solve the problem of the three-dimensional viscous impeller?

In addition, can the stealth coating be solved? Can the active phased array radar be solved? Can the IAS integrated avionics system be solved?

Don't talk about the big problems above, to be honest, we can't even solve the welding process now.

From what we know, the F-22 uses electron beam welding, and the F-22 engine uses linear friction welding. It will take at least four or five years for these two technologies to break through.

Tell me about it, with so many and such big difficulties in front of us, how do we make it?

These difficulties are like mountains one after another. It is definitely not a one-time effort to climb over.

After speaking, Lu Yan sighed deeply.

He originally wanted to refute Zhao Sui, but the more he said it, the more uncomfortable he became.

He seemed to really see mountains one after another, and those mountains were about to overwhelm him.

Similarly, the researchers in the conference room also began to talk about it.

They hold different views, some support Zhao Sui, some support Lu Yan.

For a short time, no one opinion seemed to prevail.

——

However, Chen Nian on the side didn't care about the quarrel of the crowd at all.

His eyes were full of excitement.

Very good.

The level of these researchers far exceeded his imagination.

It can even be said that their understanding of most of the speculative technologies of the F-22 is no longer inferior to their own with systematic additions.

what does that mean?

This means that all the difficulties encountered during the project will be quickly exposed, and I can quickly solve them with purpose and countermeasures!

Yes, there are countless mountains on the road ahead.

But so what?

So, he raised his hand without saying anything, but just gave Lei Gang a look.

Lei Gang nodded understandingly.

He held the document that Chen Nian handed in before the meeting started.

At this moment, both of them had made a decision in their hearts.

Move mountains!
