Chapter 869 The Beast Mounts J-11B
“Forget it... Let’s not talk about Er Mao’s side for now.”
Chang Haonan waved his hands and decided not to think about it for the time being. He couldn’t change it. thing, but to change the topic in a real sense:
"When we met before, I told you that if there was a chance, we could try to build a transportation line to the Levant region on the east coast of the Mediterranean. This Do you have any clues?”
“Well...”
Wu Yifan lowered his head and played with the tea cup in his hand. After pondering for a moment, he replied:
"I can't say."
Chang Haonan did not speak, but looked at the other party with questioning eyes——
What does this hard to say mean?
“In the past few months, I have already figured out a route. From the South Caucasus, usually Sukhumi in Abkhazia, I fly directly to Syria in the name of cargo. In this way, I only need to clear the relationship between the two ends. .”
Lao Wu replied:
"As a result, in the past few months, the situation in Damascus has been more complicated, and the relationships I had smoothed before have been messed up...especially the group of people responsible for entry and exit approval procedures. I changed it all from top to bottom. Thanks to my high vigilance, I took a trip with completely legal goods last month, but I almost didn't have the cargo hold turned upside down..."
Chang Haonan As I recall, the summer and autumn of 2000 should have happened to be the transitional stage when Hafez passed away but Bashar had not yet fully taken over.
Chaos is normal.
The latter learned a lot of Western things when he was young. At this time, he was still in a relatively fanciful stage, so many of his policies after coming to power were quite different from his father's.
It's already pretty good to have a smooth handover without getting into a fight.
“It is right to be more vigilant.”
Chang Haonan nodded:
“Slow things down and people will be safe. This matter is originally a long-term plan. , and is more sensitive, and must ensure the safety of the route to the greatest extent.”
Of course Lao Wu understands this, but the feeling of falling short of the goal is still very bad:
“The main problem now is that the border between the three countries of Iraq, Syria and Turkey is a large mountainous area, which should have been an ideal smuggling channel, but neither Baghdad, Ankara nor Damascus can control this place. There are many Kurdish armed forces in the mountains. I inquired through many lines, but I couldn't find a reliable way."
"Even the American officer I knew told me that they were sending supplies to a group of Kurdish armed forces. He was robbed by another group of people on the way..."
Listening to the other party's complaints, Chang Haonan also showed a helpless expression.
For this kind of tribal force, if they can't find a person with enough prestige internally, then outsiders will have no hope.
In particular, the Kurds themselves are not a "nation" in the traditional concept, but more closely related to a group of people with complex origins and similar living customs.
That would be even more troublesome.
"Would it be better to avoid that place..."
He had no choice but to suggest:
"Either you see if you can walk between the Caspian Sea and the ancient silk Or, if you are currently in contact with the EU, you can try shipping via the Mediterranean, but the Europeans will probably take advantage of it.”
Smuggling under the cover of "humanitarian relief supplies" is a traditional European art, but compared to Eastern Europe and the Middle East, which can fool people with just a few dollars or even supplies, old Europe's appetite is much greater.
Although Chang Haonan supported Wu Yifan as an official not for profit, but the latter took risks to do such things to make money.
"Let's take a closer look at the situation after I return to Ermao's place..."
After Wu Yifan finished speaking, he picked up the cup and drank the wine in one gulp.
“……”
……
After meeting Wu Yifan, Chang Haonan stayed in the capital for about a week in order to wait for Zhuang Bingchang to arrive.
Mainly to emphasize to the latter that there are many participants involved in this project, and in addition to the experimental field in Mongolia Province, basically all of them, such as Beijing Hang University, China National Space Administration, and Institute of Geology and Geophysics, are in Beijing.
So firstly, try not to have any job transfers before the project ends, and secondly, after the research officially starts, you may have to stay in the capital.
The latter only regarded it as a normal work requirement, so I agreed without much thought.
It can be regarded as settling a piece of Chang Haonan’s heartache——
His experience since his rebirth has shown that there is no fatalism in this worldview, that is, multiple routes will lead to the same result as in the previous life.
So as long as Zhuang Bingchang can be kept in the capital, there is a high probability that there is no need to worry about his safety.
Of course, in the final analysis, this is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution.
He can manage one Zhuang Bingchang, but not a hundred or a thousand.
In the final analysis, we still need to improve the overall public security level...
With such thoughts, Chang Haonan put Zhuang Bingchang on the plane back to Ji Province, turned around and flew to Shengjing himself.
Although the aviation power and aviation industries are now separated at the project level, after all, whether the aviation engine leaves the aircraft or the aircraft does not have the aviation engine, it will not reach the sky.
The business relationship between the two parties is still quite close.
What’s more, when the Turbofan 10 project was established, it was still the period of the head office, which resulted in a considerable number of project team members now working in the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, especially the 112th Factory and the 601st Research Institute, which are responsible for the development of the J-11WS demonstrator platform. Therefore, although it was the design finalization appraisal of Turbofan 10, the launching ceremony was held at Factory 112.
Chang Haonan, as the chief engineer and representative of the Aerospace Power Group, personally announced on the stage that the national appraisal process had officially begun.
The background is the two J-11WS parked head to head.
In the next few months, they, as well as another trial production batch of J-11B mass-produced aircraft, will fly all over China with the appraisal team of the Air Force and the General Armament Department. North and south of the Yangtze River.
Three planes and six engines are operated at the same time in order to increase efficiency as much as possible.
Otherwise, the extreme weather test alone would probably take half a year.
As for why there are only two aircraft in the background...
After Chang Haonan announced the start, the last step of the launch ceremony was the flight performance of the J-11B with the production batch number 00-01.
Moreover, this is not an ordinary flight show...
As the sharp roar of the engine sounded, the crowd on the tarmac who was originally watching Chang Haonan turned around——
At the end of the runway in the distance, a fighter jet painted in air force gray appeared at some point. It was slowly accelerating and preparing to take off.
For most people who have never seen the J-11B take off after being equipped with a turbofan 10A, this scene seems to be nothing unusual.
But Chang Haonan could tell that the acceleration of this plane was a bit low.
Even lower than the original Su-27SK.
This is obviously not normal.
Sure enough, under normal circumstances, the aircraft, which normally only needs less than one-fifth of the runway length to take off, slowly raised its head and pulled up after using up nearly half of the runway length this time.
And the movement is very gentle.
Pilots flying passenger planes have no problem flying like this, but fighter pilots rarely have this style.
But...
As the plane gradually got closer, the crowd watching also let out bursts of exclamations——
From the ceremony venue From the angle, you can clearly see that the wings and bottom of the fuselage of this J-11B are almost filled with all kinds of ammunition!
Quite a few of them have not even been seen by the Air Force members in the crowd.
"I'll go..."
Chang Haonan put his hand above his eyebrows and looked at the J-11B that was climbing in the distance with a look of shock.
Of course he can recognize all ammunition models.
On the wingtips and the two outermost pylons of the wing are 4 PL8 short-range air-to-air bombs.
The two pylons slightly inside hold 4 PL-12 air-to-air bombs that have not yet been formally finalized in the form of double pylons.
On the innermost side of the wing and in the center of the belly are four huge KAB1500KR TV-guided bombs.
Finally, also under the air inlet, there are two missiles similar in appearance to the R33, but I can’t tell whether they are the original R33 or the prototype of the Thunderbolt 13...
Rough calculation Calculated, the total load is about 8.2 tons.
This mounting method will directly turn the aircraft into a brick, which of course has no practical significance.
But it is the simplest and crudest performance display method.
It wasn't until the plane gradually disappeared from sight that Chang Haonan said to Liu Gaozhuo, who was sitting next to him:
"You guys went to the extreme this time..."
Different from the two J-11WS, the J-11B of batch 00 is an aircraft belonging to Project 11. Its participation in the identification of turbofan 10A is only a secondary purpose. The main purpose is to accumulate flight data under extreme conditions for the J-11B itself.
So the specific flight arrangements are made by Factory 112. Chang Haonan only knows the general situation.
I was shocked now.
The original Su-27SK only has a theoretical bomb load of about 6 tons, but because it cannot use precision-guided weapons on the ground, there is actually no chance to use up these 6 tons.
But the J-11B/Su-27SM are serious multi-purpose fighter jets.
At this time, Liu Gaozhuo's attention was focused on the crowd in front of him. Looking at their reactions, he showed a smile that he had everything under control:
"Fortunately, we have all done it before. It has been tested and is completely within the capabilities of the new model.”
"Besides, doesn't this also mean that the performance of the power system is good..."
