Chapter 169 Reporting the development status of the J-10 fighter to the top military officials of Yan Kingdom

Lin Chenran and a group of senior executives of the 077 Machinery Arsenal stood in front of the complex building, watching solemnly as the J-10 fighter design and development team slowly left.

When the last car disappeared into the distance, Lin Chenran turned around, looked at the senior executives behind him and said, "Okay, everyone, go back to work. We still have a lot to do."

His voice was calm and firm, making people feel an inexplicable power.

As a result, everyone in the 077 Machinery Arsenal dispersed and returned to their jobs.

Lin Chenran walked into his office alone, closed the door, and sat quietly on the chair, thinking about future plans.

Especially the research on radar and the power output of aircraft.

Time flies so fast, a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Song Wen came to the headquarters of Yanguo's military and found the top leaders of the military.

He held a thick document in his hand, with the words "Latest Design and Development Plan of J-10 Fighter" printed on it.

The senior military officials took the document and began to read it carefully.

As they read further, their expressions gradually became serious.

"Is this your Chengdu Aircraft Military Industry Company's new plan for the J-10 fighter jet?" a senior military official asked.

Song Wen nodded and said, "Yes, this plan was proposed by us after careful consideration. We hope to get your approval."

After a while, one of the military executives asked: "I noticed that the power system and radar system in this plan have been greatly improved. What are these improvements based on?"

Song Wen took a deep breath and replied: "Chief, these improvements are based on our research and analysis of international advanced fighter technology."

“There are so many aspects that haven’t been considered before.”

After hearing this, the senior military officials nodded slightly to express their understanding.

In fact, the Yanguo military was not that satisfied with the design of the J-10 fighter jet of Chengdu Aircraft Military Industry Company.

But there is no good design and development plan.

And because of engines and radars, Yanguo is really at a backward stage.

Especially active phased array radar, Yan Guo has no relevant research at all.

The technology related to active phased array radar is very advanced and is strictly blocked abroad.

There is no relevant technology flowing out at all.

At this time, another senior military official said calmly: "We have not yet mastered the source phased array radar technology. I wonder if your Chengdu Military Industry Company has any related projects that are being advanced?"

Song Wen replied bluntly: "Chief, you should know that from the development of the J-10 fighter jet to the final product, this process takes a long time. I firmly believe that by then, China will have its own active phased array radar technology. ”

Immediately afterwards, another senior Yanguo military officer asked: "So, have you considered the cost issue? Will such a large-scale improvement lead to too high costs? After all, compared with the second-generation fighter jets, foreign third-generation fighters are There is a huge difference in price.”

The price of foreign third-generation fighter jets is much higher than that of second-generation fighter jets, and it can even be said to be a huge difference.

Faced with this problem, Song Wen responded with a helpless smile: "Chief, the price of third-generation fighter jets must be very expensive. If you want to reduce the cost, it is almost impossible."

Since we are pursuing the high performance and advanced technology of third-generation fighter jets, we must pay a corresponding price, and we must not be too economical in terms of cost.

Today's third-generation fighter jets are known as technological fighters! Their existence has brought about earth-shaking changes in modern air combat.

In air combat, the third-generation fighter jets demonstrated unparalleled combat effectiveness and could be said to be invincible.

Once, a third-generation fighter jet unexpectedly encountered five second-generation fighter jets in the air. There was no suspense about the outcome of this air battle. The third-generation fighter easily defeated its opponent in the encounter and successfully shot down five second-generation fighters.

The most important thing is that it has not been damaged at all, like an elegant dancer, leaving the air combat field gracefully.

In contrast, the five second-generation fighter jets were not so lucky. None of them survived and were all shot down.

The victory of this air battle greatly inspired the Yanguo military's enthusiasm and determination to develop third-generation fighter jets.

Only by mastering the most advanced technology can we protect the country's airspace security.

No matter how high the research and development costs are, they decided to go all out to develop their own third-generation fighter jets.

"Does our Chengdu Aircraft Military Industry Company have any ideas for engines?"

"Can the AL-31FN turbofan engine be successfully introduced?"

"If we increase investment in the Taihang turbofan engine, can it be successfully developed?"

These questions always linger in their minds.

The aircraft engine is known as the "heart of the fighter jet" and directly affects the performance and combat capabilities of the fighter jet.

The AL-31FN turbofan engine is the "heart" of Mao Xiong's new third-generation fighter jet, the Su-27 fighter jet.

Advanced aero-engine technology is a country's core secret. How could a bear give it up so easily?

So they will definitely not sell the technology of the AL-31FN turbofan engine, let alone the related production lines.

This involves national security and strategic interests, and no country will compromise easily.

Mao Xiong may sell finished AL-31FN turbofan engines.

Although this cannot fundamentally solve the problem, it can at least temporarily alleviate Yanguo's demand for high-performance engines.

Yanguo's J-10 fighter jets still face the dilemma of "lack of heart".

Without sufficient engine supply, the production and equipment speed of the J-10 fighter jet will be seriously affected, and may even lead to delays in the entire project.

Faced with this problem, Song Wen was extremely helpless.

As an engineer, he is well aware of the importance of independent research and development, and hopes to equip the J-10 fighter jet with his own engine.

But the reality is very cruel. The Taihang turbofan engine cannot be used in the J-10 fighter jet in the short term.

At present, purchasing AL-31FN turbofan engines seems to be the only option.

"Chief, I understand your concerns, but the current situation is indeed very difficult. We need to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the development of the J-10 fighter jet will be seriously hindered." Song Wen said with a bitter look on his face.

He also wanted the J-10 fighter jet to use his own engine, but reality forced him to make some compromises.

Although he is full of reluctance, Song Wen understands that the current purchase of AL-31FN turbofan engines is only a temporary measure.

Only through continuous efforts and investment, the current difficulties will be overcome and the J-10 fighter jet will be replaced with its own "heart" as soon as possible.

The introduction of AL-31FN turbofan engine is very necessary.

After Lin Chenran returned to the office, he began to arrange various matters. He will go north to Mao Xiong in the near future.
