Chapter 1123 "Clear Vision" from China
"Going to Jincheng?"
Chang Haonan quickly realized that the other party was definitely not referring to Jincheng University.
But Jincheng Uranium Enrichment Co., Ltd.
Although this company is on the surface an ordinary second-level unit affiliated with the Nuclear Energy Industry Group, its products are so unusual that its status is relatively aloof.
Qu Liangsheng, perhaps worried about Chang Haonan's misunderstanding, quickly explained:
"Don't worry, I'm not taking a position at Gold Uranium Company, I'm just having a name in the research team there, otherwise I won't be able to reflect you, Academician Chang." The role played in it..."
In fact, this kind of theoretical inspiration is not strictly speaking a real participation in the project.
After all, Chang Haonan just came up with a balancing strategy, and it was further optimized based on the influence coefficient method.
How to apply the strategy to actual production still needs Qu Liangsheng’s team to complete.
According to academic research standards, the most that can be done in this case is to add a citation to the article.
But after all, everyone is a person of status.
Inviting Chang Haonan to join the team not only shows respect for his contribution, but also gives platform to the new project to some extent.
After all, the use of nuclear energy, no matter which way it is used, is always risky.
There is also some resistance to expanding the scale of nuclear power.
Especially at the grassroots level -
At the beginning of the 21st century, it is the stage when the broad masses of the people have some idea of science, but not much.
Even the construction of a local chemical factory is causing a stir.
At this time you said you want to build a nuclear power plant.
Then everyone must be reluctant.
However, due to special geographical disadvantages, China's energy security situation is not optimistic, and it is necessary to ensure the diversified development of energy supply forms.
In this case, what the superior needs mainly is determination.
According to the situation in the past few years, Chang Haonan's name, even if it is just a false title, has a very good effect in this regard...
"We have to advance As promised, I don't guarantee that I can provide help at the project execution level..."
Chang Haonan gave the other party a shot first.
In the next few years, his plans are already fully lined up, and he really can't afford too many extraneous things.
When Qu Liangsheng heard this answer, his face lit up with joy:
"I know that unless a non-academician takes the initiative to speak, I will definitely not cause you any trouble..."
In just a few minutes, this title has already changed...
Chang Haonan waved his hand gracefully, and then pulled the laptop in front of him:
"Let's take a look at the results of the tracking filter..."
"Actually, I noticed it just now."
Qu Liangsheng put the notebook on the table back into his pocket:
“It is unimaginable that one of the three problems before us has been overcome in this way...”
After the hardware equipment and software algorithms all meet the requirements, the remaining work is still not enough. There are few, but in terms of difficulty, it can be solved by just a few doctoral students.
Therefore, to say that the problem has been solved now is not to open the champagne in advance.
“In fact, we have been conducting research on ultra-high-speed rotors for a long time. If we had known that you had such needs, we might not have waited until today.”
Chang Haonan There was a little regret in his tone.
The years of delay in the centrifuge were second to none.
He mainly feels that it is a pity that if he could have known that someone in China was researching flexible rotor technology two or three years earlier, he would not have been so conservative when designing the SeA650, and the technical level of the AE1500 should be higher now. Go up one floor.
"No way... I have only heard of Academician Chang's name before, but I only know a rough idea of your project. If it weren't for this academician selection, the Industrial Construction Committee promoted SeA650 internally as a model of technical cooperation, and we would have I'm afraid I have to keep it in the dark for a while..."
Qu Liangsheng shook his head:
"Our systems, although their names have become so-and-so groups, are really When it comes to the level of marketization and industrialization of results, it is still only your aviation power group... at best, plus the Aviation Industry Group, which is better."
"In the end, our overall strength is not high enough."
Chang Haonan thought clearly:
"You are like hunting... Like SeA650, not to mention 80%, at least 60%, including the most critical core parts, are all developed by us. However, the market in this area does not recognize us enough, so we can only use Snecma For the main publicity, although we made some money in the end, we still took the initiative to integrate into other people’s industrial chains.” Use it on your own aviation engines and aircraft for the first time, and the industrialization efficiency will naturally increase..."
Chang Haonan was originally going to use the Falcon 8Z as an example, but considering that this model is currently competing with domestic The military industry system of China is unclear, so it would be safer to talk about the engine alone.
In fact, where he did not see it, the news of the combination of Falcon 8Z and "smart" radar was spreading like wildfire...
As for the source, of course it is The United Arab Emirates is looking for early warning aircraft all over the world.
...
Because of the confidentiality issues involved in the bidding and selection of military equipment, in most cases it is impossible to sit together like civil servants and everyone sit together and come up with plans to compare and bid publicly——
Even if the seller has no objection, the buyer himself is unlikely to be willing. Therefore, a selection/tendering committee is generally established to test each model participating in the selection.
Because the whole process is highly closed, there are too many twists and turns.
Especially in a country like India where there is a relatively wide range of choices, the wealth of the person in charge of the bidding is simply immeasurable.
Many times, the reason why arms sales are delayed for many years is not because of Party B’s lack of effort, but because Party A’s internal interest relationships are difficult to reconcile.
However, there are exceptions to everything.
For Party A like the oil man in the Middle East, whoever is responsible for the docking and selection is not rich and wealthy. There is really no shortage of the two you gave me.
Therefore, the efficiency shown is unusually high.
After the demand for purchasing early warning aircraft was raised in the fourth quarter of 2003, it only took almost three months to complete the selection of paper plans for each participating model.
Basically consistent with the information obtained by Kasore, a humor grafting plan that the US E2C and Russia came up with from nowhere was abandoned at the initial stage.
In the end, only three designs with very similar general ideas entered the formal bidding process.
One day in early February 2004.
Abu Dhabi.
Abu Sabah, wearing a suit and tie but also wearing a signature plaid headscarf, was standing half-bent at the table, introducing the three candidates lined up on the table to Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. plan.
As for why the crown prince, rather than the Air Force Chief of Staff, should be responsible for military aircraft procurement...
First of all, don't ask.
Asking is about the blood of the royal family, I won’t tell you so much truth.
And you can’t say this is a layman guiding an expert.
Although Prince Mohammed graduated from the Sandhurst Army Military Academy, he is a genuine fixed-wing and helicopter pilot.
Secondly, and more importantly.
For a long time, the Chief of Staff of the UAE Air Force was held by a Pakistani...
So it can be said that no one in the UAE understands the Air Force better than Prince Mohammed.
"Sir, this is the overall design submitted by Ericsson. It is the most mature and lowest risk among the three plans."
Because the Global 5000 has not yet been delivered, the renderings that Sabah has now produced are actually an EMB-145 early warning aircraft of the Brazilian Air Force:
"In fact, they moved their balance beam antenna to the Global There are almost no major mistakes on the 5000 business jets, but the performance of the radar itself is average, and the other support Sweden itself can bring to our country is limited..."
"Fortunately, they are also cooperating with NATO. It is responsible for defense, so like the other two models, the data link can also be upgraded to incorporate our F16s, and even the F15s and F16s of the Saudi and Qatar Air Forces into the command system..."
In fact, the UAE As a country that hardly knows how to fight, the reason why it is so eager to upgrade its air force equipment is largely because it wants to improve its status in the GCC.
Therefore, it does not matter whether you can command your own air force.
The important thing is to be able to command the air forces of other countries...
The crown prince not only listened to Sabah's judgment, but also read through the design plans in front of him.
But he didn't seem to show any obvious interest.
“Elta’s radar is almost an upgraded version of the existing model. It just changes the flight platform from the Boeing 707 to the G550 business jet that is more suitable for us. It is the current progress among the three plans. The fastest, the first G550 has begun to be modified... But the conformal array design has no reference to precedents from other countries, and the actual effect is difficult to verify. I am afraid we have to wait until the actual machine test to judge..."
said To be honest, the biggest shortcoming of the aircraft in front of me is actually its ugliness.
But in order to ensure his professionalism, he still swallowed the words that came to his lips.
"The last one is Dassault..."
Sabah said this, hesitating for a few seconds before speaking again:
"Judging from the paper performance alone , the performance of this solution is obviously the best... Although the detection range on paper is similar to that of Falcon, the latter is achieved in the L-band, while the former is in the S-band, with higher detection accuracy, and the radars on both sides The main array coverage angle reaches 300°, which is a quarter larger than the other two models..."
"Wait a minute"
The crown prince, who had not spoken just now, interrupted him:
“Why was this plan submitted by Dassault?”
“I mean, the bidders for the first two plans were all It is the integrator of radar and command systems, not the manufacturer of flight platforms. Why is it only the French who are different?"
Sabah curled his lips slightly:
"According to Dassault officials? The reason is that they formed a joint research and development group and finally selected the most prestigious group to participate in the bidding as a representative.”
"But many people secretly know that the radar part of this aircraft was developed by the Chinese... However, the command and control system still comes from Thales, so there is no compatibility problem."
Mohammed raised He raised his hand and gently stroked his beard:
"Chinese radar... no wonder it has such a strange name?"
Compared to "Globaleyes" or "Seaeagle" The simple and straightforward code name, Dassault’s “highlight” is indeed a bit confusing.
"It is said that this is a god in Chinese mythology who can see anything 500 kilometers away. Later, he was demoted to a mortal because he broke up the adultery of a higher god..."
Sabah seems to have heard some allusions about "clairvoyance", but perhaps something went wrong in the process of being translated into several languages, and the content has obviously been deformed...
