Chapter 10 J-8 versus F22?
Although Chang Haonan himself just said it casually out of emotion, for the other three people, this was simply pretending to be invisible.
There was a burst of applause and cheers in the private room.
“Southern God is awesome!”
“Southern God is domineering!”
Chang Haonan quickly stretched out his hand and pressed it to show his low profile.
In fact, in less than two days from his rebirth yesterday to today, he has found that not only is he physically much younger, but his mentality seems to be closer to that of a twenty-year-old than a forty-year-old. status.
"You are really young again..." Chang Haonan looked at his wrinkle-free hands and finally had a sense of reality about rebirth: "Then let's make up for those regrets. Whether it’s the country’s or your own.”
At this time, Zhou Shuwan suddenly stretched out his hand and patted him: “Nan Shen, don’t think about curriculum design when you are eating. The development and construction of the army are also important. There’s only one meal left.”
When Chang Haonan came back to his senses, he realized that the roast duck had already been served.
Obviously, the other party thought he was still thinking about the plane.
If there is any advantage in the 1990s compared to more than 20 years later, it is probably that the Beijing roast duck of this era is generally not as bad as it was later. The taste of any restaurant can be guaranteed.
Of course, the price is really exaggerated. It is basically difficult for people like Chang Haonan, whose average monthly living expenses are less than 200 yuan, to afford it.
The four of them were chatting while eating, and the content was naturally mainly about various anecdotes and gossips. Chang Haonan just listened most of the time, and only occasionally would interject.
After all, these are just things that happened in the past for the other three people, but they are already quite distant memories for him.
At a certain moment when the four of them were silent, Chang Haonan clearly heard the conversation coming from the private room next door.
"Hey, have you heard about it? The new generation fighter jet in the United States, the F22, seems to be about to fly for the first time."
One sentence instantly attracted Chang Haonan and Zhou Shu Wan two people's attention.
And since the two big guys in the group were not ready to continue chatting, Zhang Man and Wu Yifan naturally stopped talking.
“Isn’t it several years since its first flight?” Another slightly deeper voice said.
"That's the prototype YF22. It is said that the one that will fly for the first time next year is the mass-produced F22. I estimate that it will be put into service soon." A third, somewhat sharp voice explained.
"Alas, then... looking at the situation at the beginning of this year, we can't even deal with their third-generation fighter jets F14 and F18. If this new generation of fighter jets enter service, wouldn't it be... that the gap becomes even greater? "It was the person with the deep voice who spoke again, but this time there was some anxiety in his tone.
“The latest fighter jet in our country should be the J-7E from 1990?”
“Yes, but that plane doesn’t even have a radar and can only fight during the day. What’s the use of it? "The first person to speak just hiccuped after saying: "The only ones that can fight beyond visual range are the Su-27s bought from Big Brother, which are too few, and the J-8Bs, which are not many. "< br>
Then there was a sigh.
"Let me tell you, if the J-8-3 can be put into service in two years, with its high-altitude and high-speed capabilities and new radar, it may not be impossible to compete with the new American aircraft!"
"Dream on it!" As for you, no matter how much the second-generation aircraft is improved, if it can barely defeat one dozen third-generation aircraft, it will be considered a match."
"But...even if it can defeat one more, isn't that how it came about back then, from the War of Resistance. When we went to aid Korea, we never took advantage of the equipment. "The Air Force is different after all. When we fought against the U.S. and aided Korea, our MiG-15s fought F86s. Although the pilots were inexperienced, at least there was no generation difference in the aircraft. There were even some in the United States. The performance of the F9F is not as good as ours.”
Two days ago, Chang Haonan was still in an era when the WS15 had been installed on the J-20 for test flights. At this time, he suddenly heard that. When it comes to the J-8 vs. F22, there is even a vague sense of time and space travel.
It took him a moment to realize that this wasn't some kind of trance.
“Why can’t our country’s aircraft manufacturers even build a third-generation aircraft? After spending so much taxpayers’ money, we still have to let pilots drive J-7s to compete with others. Go away with the bayonets, you losers! What a bunch of losers..."
"That's right, it was a pity that the F16 was not introduced back then."
"Then the F16/J79 is a fucking loser. Monkey version, it’s not a pity, Americans are not good at pie..."
The voices chatting next door were slightly drunk.
Chang Haonan saw Zhou Shuwan's fist clenched suddenly, and then slowly released.
The words of the people next door were very unpleasant, but from their conversation it was clear that they did not hate the Kuomintang. They were just disappointed or even despaired because they saw the huge gap between them and their powerful enemy.
Although the topic there quickly switched to the upcoming Atlanta Olympics, the atmosphere between the four Chang Haonan was still somewhat affected by this.
"Nan Shen, you said that if the F22 is put into service immediately, what measures can we take to deal with it?" Zhou Shuwan drank the beer in the cup in one gulp and turned to Chang Haonan and asked.
"It's not that fast." Chang Haonan shook his head and said in a very determined tone: "The difference between YF22 and F22 is very big, and after all, it is a new generation of fighter jets. Even the old and American ones have many Things have to come little by little.”
Historically, the F22 did not officially enter service until 2005. At this time, China's military industry had actually passed its darkest moment. However, in the nearly ten years before that, the Raptor in a test flight state had put great pressure on China. Indeed, a little bit is a lot.
"Oh... I hope so." Zhou Shuwan sighed.
"Don't worry, there will be, there will be." Chang Haonan patted the other party's shoulder: "So aren't we working hard for this?"
Wu Yifan and Zhang Man throughout the process did not participate in the discussion. The former really did not understand these things and could not intervene, while the latter was completely unable to empathize with the emotions of Chang Haonan and Zhou Shuwan.
Zhang Man's parents are not well-educated, but they have been doing business since the late 1980s, and the family is not short of money.
However, in this era, being rich does not mean being knowledgeable. Therefore, from the first day she went to college, she only thought about one thing - how to use the platform of Beijing Airlines to climb higher and see a wider world. In this world, it is best to go abroad.
But studying abroad, at least in 1996, was not a matter of money. Of course she could accept it at her own expense, but if there were no connections, she would not be able to spend the money.
That's why Zhang Man chose to hug Zhou Shuwan tightly in the past few years, just to get good grades and find ways to get recommendation letters from the school.
She couldn't understand why some people would see the United States as an enemy.
Of course, although he thinks so in his heart, Zhang Man will certainly not be stupid enough to say it. He even nodded in agreement from time to time when Chang Haonan and Zhou Shuwan were talking.
In the past few years, she had completely mastered Zhou Shuwan in this way. Chang Haonan certainly seemed more difficult to deal with, but it was already the second semester of his junior year anyway, and Zhang Man only needed to ensure that he scored 10 credits in aircraft design. Just get good grades in the course.
The time to decide whether to recommend graduate students or study abroad is between the end of the junior year and the beginning of the senior year. Therefore, the graduation project with the highest credits in the senior year and several other courses, the scores On the contrary, it doesn't matter.
