Chapter 2297 Air Tanker
Logistics Department, Research Base.
Mr. Qin walked in the empty base with his hands behind his back.
Not far away, a group of people were gathering in small groups, each one arguing, frowning, or clenching their fists in excitement.
Mr. Qin walked past everyone, then came to a warehouse guarded by many guards, and looked at the aircraft being disassembled inside.
This is the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft captured last time.
Of course, the aircraft here at the moment are processed aircraft.
The precision instruments in the original aircraft have been transferred to the relevant department research institutes.
Especially the camera system inside, as well as the radar scanning system, recording system, etc., these will become key domestic research projects.
Even so, the rest is enough to keep their logistics department busy.
Today, researchers from all over the country gather here for better research and study every detail of the aircraft.
In particular, several well-known domestic aircraft factories have sent a large number of scientific researchers to measure and analyze, hoping to use this opportunity to improve the research and development level of domestic aircraft.
In this regard, Mr. Qin and the others also secured a research project.
That was the study of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft engine and fuel tank.
Get up wherever you fall.
The failure of the previous engine was a scar on their logistics department.
If you want to heal this scar, you have to make up for it with glory.
One of the two engines of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft was given to the 3rd Machinery Department, and they have begun to disassemble the remaining ones.
After watching it for a while, I saw the R&D personnel wearing shoe covers and gloves, each of them acting cautiously, as if they were treating their own children.
He knew that in the hearts of these people, this plane was closer than their children.
"Look, this material has a different weight and different color than other materials. Look."
There was a sound of surprise not far away. Mr. Qin just glanced at it and then continued to walk away.
If it were a few days ago, he might happily run over to check on the situation.
But I have heard too many surprises like this during this time.
The slightest discovery will surprise these people.
It feels like entering the Grand View Garden with Grandma Liu, everything is fresh.
The exclamations behind him were still there, but Mr. Qin quickened his pace.
"Director Xiao, how far has it progressed?"
Arriving at the office on the second floor, Mr. Qin walked in with his hands behind his back and asked casually.
Xiao Feng, who was checking information at his desk, immediately raised his head when he heard the voice, and then stood up from the desk.
"Chief, you are here!"
Mr. Qin waved his hand and looked at Xiao Feng.
"Chief, disassembly has begun, and all departments are ready!"
"But..."
"But what?"
Mr. Qin looked down at the document and asked without raising his head.
Xiao Feng was a little helpless, then he took the water glass on the table and handed it to Mr. Qin and said, "You didn't read the report on the execution of the law?"
Mr. Qin raised his head, "The report from above?"
Then he realized something and said, "How dare I have time to watch that in the past two days? Just tell me!"
Xiao Feng took a deep breath and then explained, "According to the confessions of the Blackbird pilots who surrendered, the Blackbird aircraft uses elastic fuel tanks."
"Elastic fuel tank?"
Mr. Qin felt that this ranking seemed familiar and he forgot who had told him about it.
Xiao Feng continued, "This kind of elastic fuel tank is actually an unsealed fuel tank, so when the aircraft is stationary or at low speed, fuel will seep out!"
"Oil leak?"
"Yes!"
"Why?"
Mr. Qin was a little confused. Seeing that Xiao Feng wanted to speak, he didn't say anything more and asked Xiao Feng to speak quickly.
"Because this design is suitable for the high-speed flight of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft!"
"At that time, the speed of the aircraft was fast, the friction and temperature were high, and the aircraft engine would thermally expand. The extended engine would heal the gaps and prevent the aircraft from leaking oil!"
"So, when their Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft conducts long-distance reconnaissance, they will first warm up on the ground, then fly into the air, and then use aerial tankers to refuel!"
As Xiao Feng narrated, Mr. Qin's expression became more serious.
What about aerial refueling? They don’t even have a refueling aircraft, let alone the technology!
"So, after everyone learned about this situation, they were a little bit..."
"It hurts morale!"
When Xiao Feng said this, he felt a little helpless.
Other people's things are put in front of their eyes, but our own people can't even copy them.
This is a gathering of experts from all over the country!
Mr. Qin's brows almost twisted together and he suddenly said, "Then our white horse also flew off the highway. Why is it okay?"
Xiao Feng continued to smile bitterly, "Chief, I heard that our two Baijus are still being repaired in the hangar!"
Mr. Qin was stunned, then he realized what he was doing and said solemnly, "First organize the manpower to do the research. With so many people here, if we can't make something, how can we explain it?"
"We don't have to worry about other things!"
Xiao Feng nodded silently, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
When his superiors assigned this task to their logistics equipment, he thought it was a supreme honor.
But now I know that in this matter, only those who are capable are honored.
Those who have no ability are called making a fool of themselves.
"By the way, who's coming from Mechanical Department No. 9?"
Mr. Qin suddenly asked, and Xiao Feng immediately replied, "There are not many people from the Jiubu."
"Not much? This doesn't seem like Yang Xiaotao's style."
"He let go of such a good opportunity?"
"There's something fishy."
Mr. Qin was talking to himself, and he was even more curious, so he asked, "Who are they here?"
"There are three research groups in total."
"Radar, materials and skin."
"That's all?"
Mr. Qin was curious again. He had heard from Mr. Zhang earlier that before the plane was shipped out, Yang Xiaotao wanted to dismantle the plane and study it.
But this is all about luck in the Forty-Nine Cities, why don’t you take it seriously?
Xiao Feng nodded, "Yes, just these three." "But the people in these three research groups are all very capable, especially the radar research group, which has made considerable progress."
"This is the fastest progress in our research."
Mr. Qin was stunned. He originally thought that Yang Xiaotao didn't pay attention to it, but now it seems that he must be too busy with Jiubu.
After all, the newly established department must have a lot of things to do.
In addition, there are many tasks and complex personnel, and it is natural that they cannot tell their origins.
Mr. Qin thought of a reason for Yang Xiaotao.
Little did he know that Yang Xiaotao's greatest interest in the Blackbird was the radar skin and materials.
Others are either not interested or incapable, so they might as well focus on the key points.
"Let's see if there are talents locally. Comrades from the institute are also working hard to produce results as soon as possible."
After Mr. Qin finished speaking, he turned around and left. Xiao Feng responded seriously behind him.
Right now, this is the most important thing for the logistics department.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
At noon, Mr. Qin returned to the resting area after eating. Just as he was about to lie down and rest, he heard the guard say that Mr. Zhang was here.
There was no need to rest now, so he quickly got up and walked to the office.
As soon as he sat down, Mr. Zhang walked in with a serious look, which made people know that something was wrong.
"Old Zhang, if you don't stay in the military camp, what are you doing here in such a hurry?"
"My waist still hurts. Don't bother me."
Mr. Qin took one look and picked up the jar and started drinking water.
After hearing this, Mr. Zhang sat down on the sofa, and then asked angrily, "Old Qin, how is your research going?"
"What else can I do?"
Mr. Qin asked in return. Mr. Zhang was about to speak after hearing this, but he still didn't say what he thought of.
After a long time, Mr. Qin said, "I read the report. This aircraft is not easy to build."
“The gap between us and others is so big, we can’t get closer easily.”
Mr. Zhang picked up the jar on the table and poured a glass of water. He held it in his hand to warm it for a while, thinking about how to speak.
When Mr. Qin saw that Mr. Zhang was silent, he spoke again, "You know about the fuel tank, right?"
"Haha, refueling in the air, let's forget it, let's not talk about it."
But after Mr. Qin finished speaking, Mr. Zhang put down his cup and finally said, "That's why I came here this time."
Mr. Qin frowned, "What do you mean?"
"You want to get a gas pump?"
There was a touch of excitement in Mr. Zhang's eyes, "Yes, yes, it's a gas pump."
"Old Qin, according to the prisoners' confession, the safety of this aerial refueling technology is guaranteed, and our people have studied it and only need to make slight changes to the fuel tank."
"The best aircraft we have now is the Baiju, but its range is short, so I thought."
"Don't think about it."
Mr. Qin interrupted Mr. Zhang, "We haven't finished the engine yet, and we still have a refueling machine. You go find someone else."
Mr. Zhang laughed and said, "If I could find someone else, I would have gone there long ago and come to find you."
"Then you really have the wrong person."
Mr. Qin refused directly. They really didn't think about this gas pump.
More importantly, he has no confidence.
"Old Qin, you have to help with this matter. You just happen to be researching engines, so you won't be able to make them without aircraft."
"This tanker is just right for use."
"You also have an aircraft design institute and you can design aircraft. At worst, you can just find an aircraft and improve it."
"Besides, this aerial refueling technology might be of great use. If you study it now, it will have a place in the future."
"Come on, we still have a place even if we don't make oil tankers."
Mr. Qin was unmoved.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Old Qin, are you really not going to help?"
Mr. Qin was silent for a long time and then said, "Old Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't help."
"Look, with just one engine and a telescopic fuel tank, we have a huge headache. How can we make a tanker with just this?"
"You might as well go to Jiubu and have a look. Maybe they have something to do."
Hearing what Mr. Qin said, Mr. Zhang sighed.
"You think I haven't thought about it."
Mr. Qin raised his head, "What's wrong, have you been there?"
"No, but I told Yang Xiaotao to help support the twenty White Horses, but there is no movement yet."
"What should I do? If I go to the police, what should I do if they use the excuse of researching the refueling machine and not producing Baiju?"
“Didn’t I lose money?”
Mr. Qin didn't know what to say after hearing this.
This old Zhang's brain circuit is really novel.
"How many aircraft do you want him to support you with?"
Mr. Qin suddenly became curious.
Mr. Zhang chuckled. Every time he thought of this, he felt happy. Then he stretched out two fingers and said, "Twenty, how about it? Is it a profit?"
Mr. Qin almost spat out the water in his mouth after hearing this.
"Twenty planes? Do you know what the mission from above is to the Ninth Machinery Department? Fifty planes."
"You"
"He agreed?"
Lao Zhang nodded vigorously, "If I don't agree, can I say it?"
Mr. Qin was even more curious, and then looked at Mr. Zhang with scrutiny in his eyes.
What benefit did this Lao Zhang give Yang Xiaotao?
Is there some private deal?
"Forget it, let's get down to business."
Lao Zhang felt that this matter should be less publicized. If Yang Xiaotao became unhappy and imitated Lao Wang's shameless face, wouldn't he be at a loss?
"Old Qin, help me, this gas pump is really important."
Mr. Qin was still thinking about the intrigue between the two. When he heard what Mr. Zhang said, he came back to his senses and asked, "Is it because of this?"
Mr. Zhang nodded. He wanted the Baiju fighter jet now more than the tanker.
The more the better.
Mr. Qin picked up the cigarette and lit it, then took a few puffs and said this time, "If you want to make this refueling machine, it's better to find someone from the Nine Machinery Department."
"Other machine departments have their own affairs. They have just been established, so they may be interested."
"As for that, Yang Xiaotao's temperament won't make it difficult for you."
“Just go and go.”
Mr. Zhang was a little skeptical after hearing this, but it was obvious that Mr. Qin couldn't get the approval, so he could only leave the logistics office with a try attitude and rushed to the Nine Machinery Department.
