Although the superior said that the specific decision would be notified to Lin Yongming the next day, in fact, when he finally received the confidential documents, a full week had passed.

During this week, countless people, including Lin Yongming, were in extreme torment.

They are not only worried that the final decision is not the one they expected, but also worried about what to do if they really get the expected results so as to live up to their trust.

Therefore, under such high pressure, Chen Nian's life is not easy.

——

Of course, no one forced him to do anything, but the information from Chen Guo and Lei Gang also made him realize the urgency of the problem.

The results must be produced as soon as possible.

Otherwise, in this either-or choice, a tiny bargaining chip can break the balance and lead to the worst result.

Therefore, during this week, he greatly shortened the time spent on studying. Except for the small daily lessons, most of the time was spent on drawing drawings.

The day before he decided to distribute, he finally finished drawing all the drawings.

And this blueprint became the last bargaining chip to determine the tilting direction of the balance.

In the imperial capital, Wang Ming sat opposite Marokov, and said calmly:

Marokov, I have always regarded you as our friend, but judging from the current situation, you don't seem to treat us in the same way.

I can't feel your sincerity.

Perhaps, the previous agreement needs to be revised.

Hearing his words, Marokov thought it was just a normal way of talking and playing games in negotiations, so he just put on a gentle smile and replied:

Ming, what you said hurt my heart too much.

If we didn't regard you as friends, how could we give you such a critical engine in this matter?

As you know, AL-31FN is still one of our current main engines. We are actually facing many risks in making such an export decision.

Wang Ming shook his head slightly, and asked back:

Isn't the premium we paid enough to cover your risk?

In fact, you know very well in your heart that the once powerful red empire is no longer there, and you are inevitably declining.

Without us taking over, these technologies, which are clearly obsolete, would have been completely obsolete.

Obsolete? I won't comment on other technologies for the time being, but you say that AL-31FN is outdated. Isn't that a bit too much?

Marokov's expression was slightly displeased, and he looked directly at Wang Ming with sharp eyes.

What are you kidding?

Americans can say that AL-31FN is obsolete, Europeans can say it, even ukrin can say it, but only China, you can’t say it.

Because you don't have it!

To evaluate a thing, it doesn't mean that you have the ability to make something stronger, but at least you have to understand its principle, right?

Only by figuring out the principle, knowing its defects and advantages, can you evaluate its strengths and weaknesses.

Otherwise, when you evaluate, is it based on your own imagination?

Now Huaxia's understanding of AL-31FN is completely superficial. The real core design and technology are only known but not why.

What qualifications do you have to evaluate this engine?

What you should be saying is not AL-31FN is obsolete, but AL-31FN is not advanced, but still strong.

This is the attitude that a subordinate should hold, okay?

In this transaction, Huaxia is the next one!

Many thoughts flashed through Marokov's mind, but Wang Ming on the opposite side was not affected by him after his death. Instead, he shook his head indifferently and said:

It's not too much at all, what I said is the truth.

Marokov, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, I just want to tell you one thing: We have mastered the major design flaws of AL-31FN.

This defect may not be that serious, but if we use this engine in the J-10 as planned, the difference in stability will have fatal consequences.

You've always been aware of this, right?

But you didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. Do you think this is a sincere attitude?

Marokov was startled. When Wang Ming mentioned Jian Shi, he was keenly aware that the other party might have really discovered the problem.

But he couldn't throw in the towel—he wanted to take another gamble.

I do not understand what you said.

The AL-31FN does have problems, large and small, but these problems are not unacceptable. You know, it has also been safely served on the SU-27 for many years.

You don't want to tell me that J-10 has more requirements for engines than SU-27

lubricating.

Wang Ming had gradually lost his patience, he directly interrupted Marokov's long speech, and directly threw out his trump card.

What?

Marokov was taken aback subconsciously.

The design of the AL-31FN's lubrication system has a major defect. This defect may not be a big deal to the SU-27, but it is definitely fatal to a single-engine fighter like the J-10, isn't it?

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room fell into an awkward silence.

Marokov looked at each other in disbelief, wondering for a moment how they discovered this problem.

It is obvious that it has not been officially delivered, and it is obvious that the engines that had problems in the previous experiments have all been recycled.

They have no reason to be able to see such tiny details, because they don't have an engine to disassemble, and even if they have data, they can't analyze it to this level.

Could it be a leak?

But the question is, who did it?

It can't be the technical consultant by his side, he has no chance.

domestic?

This export project is originally top secret, even if there are very few insiders, and all the personnel who can understand the key technology of AL-31FN are all under control. At this point in time, the chance of leaking the secret is almost zero.

The most reasonable explanation can only be that these Chinese people really pieced together the key to the problem relying on poor data and a few clues.

If they actually do it.

Then their real technical strength is definitely not what their own side preset.

Thinking of this, Marokov couldn't help frowning.

These rabbits are really well hidden.

After being silent for half a minute, Marokov finally sighed and said:

Okay. AL-31FN's lubrication system does have flaws, but it's not a major problem.

In fact, our researchers are already working on improvements.

Even if you don't bring it up, we will take the initiative to upgrade the technology in the future.

Don't worry, we won't let you suffer.

As for the price, I think we can discuss it again

There is no need for this, and we will not purchase new AL-31FN engines except for existing contracts.

Wang Ming shook his head decisively.

We don't need this engine anymore, we will use our own engine.

What?

Marokov was startled.

Your own engine? The WS-10? Or the WS-10A? Min, what are you kidding?

That engine, well, maybe I shouldn't slander it in person, but you also know that even if it is built, it is still far from the standard that can be used.

Even if you are given another ten years, it may not be able to achieve the performance of AL-31FN.

The accumulation of technology does not happen overnight. If you insist on risking invention, I can't even say good luck to you.

You will never be lucky.

Because of you, it's really not enough.

Hearing his words, Wang Ming shook his head and replied:

The decision is irreversible.

We Chinese people sometimes like to take risks.

And we win almost every time.
