Chapter 123 J-11 settled in advance
Early the next morning, Chang Haonan, who had regained his energy, met Yao Mengna again in the cafeteria.
But when he was about to use his chopsticks, the other party had already eaten half of his meal.
"Senior sister, I..."
However, before he could say the invitation to go to Factory 112 together, Yao Mengna interrupted him quickly without even raising her head. ：
"Um...junior brother, I have something else to do, please eat slowly."
Then he ran away decisively with the dinner plate in hand.
Sometimes, although escaping is shameful, it is useful.
For example, Chang Haonan didn't see Yao Mengna's already red face that was about to bubble.
"Uh..."
He looked at the plate in front of him and thought about it. In fact, only what happened yesterday was unusual.
“Just because I didn’t ask her what she wanted to do?”
Chang Haonan took a bite of the fried dough sticks and was a little confused.
"Senior sister doesn't seem to be such a narrow-minded person..."
In this era where there is no mobile network and most people don't even have mobile phones, it is difficult to accurately contact someone who is not where they live. It’s still a bit difficult for people who don’t have a fixed place of work.
So in the end, Chang Haonan did not do any useless work, but directly contacted He Ming, the deputy chief engineer in charge of the final assembly of the 83rd Project at Factory 112.
Although according to the permissions indicated on the work permit of the former, it is basically possible to walk sideways in several factories in Shengjing, but for a unit of the size of Factory 112, it is very difficult if there is no one to carry it. You might get lost inside...
Chang Haonan took a car directly from the airport to the test runway last time, so he was still relatively unfamiliar with the overall situation of the factory area.
But even so, he could see that Factory 112 was making some big move.
The factory area is almost full of various transportation vehicles, and several large workshops look like they have been renovated.
Moreover, the security level within the entire factory has also been improved to a higher level than before.
Although it was not as simple as three steps to one post and five steps to one post, Chang Haonan's work permit was checked three times just as he walked from the door to the administrative office building of the factory.
“Comrade Xiao Chang, long time no see.”
He Ming seemed to have been waiting at the door of the building for a while:
“You made it over there in Fucheng. There is a lot of commotion. Even those of us engaged in complete aircraft production have received advice from above, saying that we must build an independent aviation industry system based on our own reality.”
“I haven’t heard such an encouraging statement for more than ten years.”
Although He Ming’s thick hair makes him look younger, he actually works in Factory 112 It has been more than 30 years, and it even participated in the domestic manufacturing of the J-6A aircraft.
“I think the Science and Technology Commission should have had such a plan for a long time. What Academician Liu and the others came up with doesn’t look like they were unprepared.” Chang Haonan replied:
"The turbojet 14 successfully completed the test according to our own standards, which gave the superiors enough confidence to move forward with this matter."
Although Director Ding quoted the exact words he said on the phone during the meeting Some of what I said,
But if you think about it carefully, Chang Haonan does not feel that he can have an impact on this fundamental policy direction with just one word.
Because this kind of thing is not something that can only be determined by the Science and Technology Commission.
"Confidence is good... What we have lacked most in these years is confidence."
He Ming raised his head, his tone full of emotion:
"You still have When we are young, we have never experienced many things. Sometimes, those who stand in our way are our own people. ”
"If you encounter any problems, just put out the theory that it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy. At this time, it is so important to have this tonic from you."
Chang Haonan looked at it. He Ming, who was feeling a little emotional next to him, felt that it was time to change the topic:
“By the way, let’s not talk about the turbojet 14. When I first came here, I saw something big happening in the factory? "You don't know?"
He Ming was stunned when he heard this question, and then thought of something:
"Oh, yes, you may not have heard of it while you are in Fucheng."
"At the beginning of this month, we formally signed an agreement with Russia to transfer the Su-27 production license, so there are many A large amount of technical data and production equipment will be shipped here."
Chang Haonan was also surprised when he heard this answer:
"Su 27... has been negotiated?"
If he remembered correctly, this agreement was originally two months later and was not officially signed until December 1996.
"Yes, Sukhoi suddenly made a huge concession, so the negotiation process went a lot smoother." When He Ming said this, his tone suddenly brought a smile:
"And speaking of it , this matter still has something to do with you.”
“Why don’t I know this?” Chang Haonan felt as if he was suddenly out of touch with the world.
“When the No. 04 prototype made its first flight, Commander Yang specially asked several Sukhoi technical consultants from Factory 112 to watch the whole process. Then within a few days, he heard that The agreement was successfully signed.”
In the end, contract negotiations are useless if you don’t have cards in your hand.
And the improved J-8-3, even if it is not a king bomb, is at least four 2-level.
What's more, it was created directly from the void when the game was nearing the end.
The effect is naturally immediate.
"Unfortunately, I came a little late, and only got two months..."
Chang Haonan nodded, but he still felt a little regretful.
If Project No. 10 is the beginning of China’s realization of “freedom in fighter jet design,” then Project No. 11 is the starting point for China’s realization of “freedom in fighter jet manufacturing.”
For a heavy fighter with a maximum takeoff weight of 33 tons, even if a full set of design information and raw materials are prepared, it is still a huge challenge to actually build the aircraft.
There are not many shortcuts in manufacturing, and time and investment are indispensable, so if we only start two months in advance, the actual impact may be...
Wait...
At this time, Chang Haonan suddenly remembered that He Ming seemed to have said just now that Russia had also made concessions on the content of the agreement, so he asked again:
"As for the content of the contract..."
As Chang Haonan's status in the 601 Institute has increased, he naturally has the right to know about these things.
If he had asked this question when he first arrived in Shengjing, he would probably only get a blank stare.
“According to the contract, Factory 112 will produce a total of 118 single-seat Su-27SK and two-seat Su-27UBK in the next 10 years. The first batch of 14 airframes will all be provided by Russia, and the subsequent transition will be gradual. To be completely manufactured by ourselves.”
“The engines, radars and electronic equipment required for the aircraft are subject to separate subsystem procurement contracts. Except for the first two batches of 28 aircraft, Russia does not restrict us from replacing the other 90 aircraft. Aircraft equipment and can provide necessary assistance, of course, the cost is extra.”
"In addition, the Su-27 and its derivatives we produce cannot be exported to third countries."
The specific contract content is of course much more complicated, so He Ming only selected the most critical ones. In part.
But it was enough to make Chang Haonan almost drop his jaw.
Compared with the rather harsh conditions on the original timeline, the content of this agreement can now be called a philanthropist.
It is no longer important that there is an additional Su-27UBK production line and the reduction in the number of airframes that must be provided by Russia.
The latter one, "No restriction on replacing the airborne equipment of 90 of the aircraft" is the full operating space.
This means that Project No. 11 can even embark on the path of "production and improvement" from the beginning, without having to delay it for nearly 10 years like in the previous life.
