Chapter 685 March 25, "Allied Force" Operation
After his plan to go to the Science and Technology Commission to learn about the progress of the domestic early warning aircraft was delayed by the unexpected arrival of Cai Honggui, Chang Haonan simply stopped worrying.
I just made a phone call to tell Ding Gaoheng that the goods had arrived in Romania, and then continued to deal with the matters at hand.
Mainly negotiating with Eurocopter, Fiat Ferrari and several research institutes in Russia for the export of Dawn 2000T.
After all, for Huaxia, selling supercomputers abroad is still the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair. In the past, when buying supercomputers, the other party’s contract was full of various unequal terms. In fact, It has no reference value.
So everything had to be explored from scratch.
As for the Hudong Shipyard...
First of all, there is no rush yet.
The shipbuilding industry basically needs to be considered on a ten-year cycle. Even if it ends, it will be shortened by 50% to five years at most.
After all, no matter how strong the technical research and development level is, the ship must be built slowly starting from laying the keel.
There's no point in being anxious.
The Torch Group is short of people, especially the lack of pioneering talents, which basically cannot be solved in a few months.
Numerical computing is still an emerging discipline after all.
Although in the past two or three years, Chang Haonan has almost single-handedly made this direction a popular postgraduate study.
But now, less than two years have passed since he compiled that textbook.
Even at Beijing Hang University, which was the first to offer this course, the first batch of students to take this course...
Forget it, let alone the students, Chang Haonan, as the editor of this book, still has half a year to officially Graduation.
Others, even if they have a master's degree, they have to wait another year, and for a doctorate, it takes at least three years.
As for other universities, even the fastest-moving ones, are still one year behind Beijing Airlines.
At present, most of the people with relatively high level in this direction have done projects with Chang Haonan. Currently, they are basically distributed in the two major systems of the aviation industry and the weapons industry. It is difficult for him to follow Ding Gaoheng. Poaching.
Based on this calculation, it seems that the only ones who are capable of carrying this banner in a short period of time are the senior sisters who are about to graduate, and Professor Yan Yongnian, who have been involved in the development of the die forging press...
No matter who it is, if you want to work with him, you will have to wait until the second half of the year.
As for the domestic early warning aircraft, he decided to wait a while longer.
……
March 25, morning.
Chang Haonan specifically canceled all today's schedule and arrived at the Science and Technology Commission early in the morning.
Since he and Ding Gaoheng lived in the same family area, he quickly learned that because his home was still far away from his work, Ding Gaoheng would live directly next to the office when he was busier. In a room specially packed into a temporary dormitory.
This meeting at the end of March coincides with the upcoming conference, which is the time for continuous improvement.
So, although Chang Haonan arrived a little early, when he walked into the director's office, Ding Gaoheng was already sitting inside and starting to correct documents.
“Xiao Chang?”
Ding Gaoheng raised his head, was startled when he saw Chang Haonan, and immediately stopped the pen in his hand:
"Why are you free to come to my place so early today?"
Under normal circumstances, outsiders would have to To meet the director of the Tangtang Science and Technology Committee, you must make an appointment.
But it is difficult for Chang Haonan to be called an outsider now. At first, the doorman had to register visitors specifically. Later, he probably got instructions from Ding Gaoheng himself. Anyway, he can now directly enter and exit by swiping his face. .
So Ding Gaoheng didn't know that Chang Haonan would come over before.
"There is nothing going on in the group today. I happened to hear that you and the senior leader went to Nanzheng for an inspection a while ago. I guess you went to Air Police 200, so I took advantage of today to ask the leader about his attitude..."
The latter said as he put a thermos bucket on the desk:
"Aunt Nie asked me to bring it here along the way."
"Hahaha..."< br>
When Ding Gaoheng heard Chang Haonan’s intention, he burst into hearty laughter:
"I was thinking a few days ago that you should have heard the news a long time ago. Why haven't you come to see me? I didn't mention it when I called you last time. But it turned out that you came today..."
< br>Chang Haonanxin said that I had indeed wanted to know for a long time, but the first time I wanted to come, I was interrupted, so I simply kept it until today, as a reason to come to the Science and Technology Commission.
After all, judging from the current situation, his actions do not seem to be able to affect the situation in Europe thousands of kilometers away.
The coalition still gave an ultimatum on the 19th, but the other side finally rejected it just like the previous life.
And March 25th, Beijing time, was the day when the "Allied Force" operation began in the original timeline.
Of course, if things develop exactly as they originally did, the air raid should have started a few hours now.
However, in 1999, there was no media as developed as later generations. The coalition forces cut off network signals in the entire Balkans for a period of time, coupled with the electromagnetic interference caused by the first wave of attacks... In short There is usually a lag time in getting news in the country.
After all, the Science and Technology Commission is not a foreign affairs and military command organization, and Ding Gaoheng is not one of the State Committee, so the order of notification must be later.
Therefore, Chang Haonan came here to witness history with the other party.
Of course, if nothing happens, then he can just pretend that he is really here to talk about domestic early warning aircraft...
But obviously this idea can only be buried in his heart, and he has to use another set of words on his lips. :
“I really wanted to come here before, but it happened to coincide with the release of the official version of TORCH Multiphysics. I’m so busy these days that I’m hitting the back of my head and I really can’t leave. This is not something I’m going to do as soon as I’m free today. Are you here..."
"When big leaders inspect, their on-the-spot statements are usually just a formality, especially when it comes to major decisions, and they are even less likely to make a hasty decision, so strictly speaking, this matter has not yet been resolved. Nothing happened."
Ding Gaoheng said, tightening the cap of the pen and leaning his upper body back on the chair:
"However, the chief himself also knows some technology. He asked very detailed questions on the early warning aircraft. If I had to look at it, I should be quite satisfied with it overall."
"Overall?"
Chang Haonan asked with a raised eyebrow.
Obviously, this statement means that the chief is still dissatisfied.
"Well... Mainly because I am not satisfied with the range and speed of that aircraft. After all, the foundation of the Y-8 Category III platform is really not good, even if the 182 Factory improves it, there is nothing that can be done."< br>
Chang Haonan had already had two meals at Ding Gaoheng's house. The latter naturally did not regard him as an outsider and started eating breakfast in front of him:
"But don't worry, I have told you what you told me before. Yes, the plan to use the C909 passenger aircraft as a platform to transform into a large early warning aircraft has been revealed.”
“Although this matter has not yet begun, after all, radar and aircraft are already visible and tangible things. So it can’t be regarded as missing…”
“What about the Ring Project?”
What Chang Haonan is most concerned about is the attitude of his superiors towards the Ring Project.
It is speculated that the actions of the David Kingdom should be similar to those in the previous life. It is nothing more than resisting and welcoming, and using sunk costs to hang here. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than some kind of enhanced version of PUA.
But this kind of thing belongs to bystanders or even latecomers. If you are not mentally prepared in advance and you don’t have many chips on your side, it is still easy to fall for the bait.
Fortunately, in this world, we already have an early warning aircraft model that is about to fly for the first time, so it does not mean that we have no initiative at all.
“Originally, the superiors were still a little hesitant.”
Ding Gaoheng stopped his chopsticks, raised his head and replied:
"But a few days ago, the Patriotic side started to act like a monster again. Not only did they refuse to install a radar dome for the first flight, they even sent guards to guard the Il-76 24 hours a day to prevent our technical personnel from getting close. Why worry about technology leakage..."
"Huh..."
Chang Haonan almost laughed when he heard this:
"Now they are doing us a big favor... …”
Ding Gaoheng also shook his head helplessly:
"Who says it's not... When I reported this matter, the chief didn't say anything, but I guess... a decision will be made after this meeting."
"I just don't know. Can I get back the 350 million that I paid in advance smoothly..."
"It shouldn't be a big problem to get the principal back."
Chang Haonan said casually:
"Liquidated damages... This may depend on the situation. But in any case, it can make the superiors focus back on the domestic early warning aircraft instead of just using it as a backup project. This is more important than the 350 million. Much.”
"Yeah..."
Ding Gaoheng nodded. Just as he was about to say something more, the red phone on the corner of the table rang.
Chang Haonan's face condensed.
“Hello, I’m Ding Gaoheng.”
“……”
Chang Haonan, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, naturally couldn't hear the content on the phone, but from the tense expression on the other party's face, it was not difficult to guess what was on the phone.
After a while, Ding Gaoheng's chest moved slightly, obviously taking a deep breath:
"Okay, I understand."
After that, he hung up. Telephone.
"Director Ding, this is..."
Chang Haonan naturally had to pretend.
For Ding Gaoheng, the news on the phone was unexpected and reasonable.
After all, they had started preparing for this a long time ago, and they must have expected that such a day would come.
But when the news actually came, the shock was inevitable.
After calming down a little, Ding Gaoheng raised his head again and looked at Chang Haonan:
"The coalition launched a combat operation code-named 'Allied Force' early this morning."
