Chapter 29 Mountain

Lei Gang did not express his position on Zhao Sui's speech. After a short silence, someone else raised their hands to ask for a speech.

Chen Nian looked in the direction of the person raising his hand. On the table in front of him was the nameplate, Senior Engineer, Lu Yan.

"Hello fellow leaders, I have some thoughts of my own regarding Zhao Sui's suggestions."

With that said, he turned to Zhao Sui, nodded politely, and then said:

"First of all, I think Comrade Zhao Sui's idea is good and represents the expectations of most of us."

"Yes, everyone wants to build a fighter jet that truly belongs to us, instead of copying Big Brother's obsolete aircraft every year."

"But the problem is that our resources are limited, our funds are limited, and our technology and talents are also limited."

"This limitation determines that we must be pragmatic and prudent when formulating project goals."

"Comrade Zhao Sui said that we want to build aircraft and expand the boundaries of the project. I would like to ask, how to expand?"

"We still have drawings of the aircraft body, but when it comes to the internal structure, it's already a huge difficulty."

"In order for an airplane to finally take off, it needs hydraulics, flight control, electronics, radar, power, and fuel. Which system is simple?"

But so what?

"This determines our strategic direction: from the ground to the air."

All results that seem to be due to luck are actually the accumulation of details bit by bit.

His eyes were full of excitement.

He originally wanted to refute Zhao Sui, but the more he spoke, the more uncomfortable he became.

The income is stable and the risks are controllable.

It can even be said that their understanding of most of the "speculative" technologies of the F-22 is no longer as good as their own with system bonuses.

Just like twenty years later, when everyone looks back on this era, they will find that this era is the era where many advanced equipment and advanced technologies originated. But is that because we are lucky?

"On the other hand, U2's entry into coastal reconnaissance is becoming more and more frequent. In the past two years, there was a serious conflict with the April 1 collision. The external pressure we are facing is becoming more and more intense."

"Of course, the fortune I am talking about is actually explained from a scientific perspective. It should be a kind of accumulation. Our foundation has been laid. At this point where the explosion is about to happen, 601 should not be absent!"

He seemed to really see mountains one after another, and those mountains were about to collapse on him.

"Tell me, there are so many and such big difficulties before us, how can we solve them?"

So, he raised his hand, without saying anything, and just gave Lei Gang a look.

They each hold different views, some support Zhao Sui and some support Lu Yan.

The level of these researchers far exceeded his imagination.

Similarly, the researchers in the conference room also began to talk about it.

This is definitely not an impulsive nerd thing.

"We all know what this No. 22 project is targeting, so there is no need to hide it, we can directly compare it horizontally."

Very good.

"Going back to the original question, how many technical difficulties do we face in building an airplane?"

"Gong Lu, I agree with your view, but I need to point out that the situation we are facing now is different from the past."

"This determines our strategic pace: we can only be fast, not slow!"

"Let's talk about the aviation engine problem first. Can we solve the problem of heat-resistant materials? Can we solve the problem of TCB? Can we solve the problem of three-dimensional viscous impellers?"

what does that mean?

This means that all difficulties encountered during the project will be quickly exposed, and you can quickly solve them with purpose and countermeasures!

Yes, there are countless mountains on the road ahead.

Listening to Zhao Sui's speech, Chen Nian's brows wrinkled and relaxed for a while.

"These difficulties are like mountains one after another. Climbing them will definitely not happen overnight."

"If you could build an airplane just by talking, I believe our airspace would already be occupied by airplanes."

Still Zhao Sui.

His judgment of the situation was extremely accurate, and the foresight he displayed was even greater than that of himself as a time traveler.

After listening to his speech, everyone nodded in unison, even Chen Nian was no exception.

"Don't talk about the big problems above. To be honest, we can't even solve the welding process now."

"Of course, as a party member, I shouldn't say idealistic words, but I believe in luck, and from various signs, our fortunes are now high, and we should take advantage of the victory!"

The real reason, just like what Zhao Sui said, is that after keeping a low profile to a certain extent, the time to make more achievements is gradually coming.

"On the one hand, the U.S. actions in Iraq have shattered all our illusions. Modern warfare has escalated from ground warfare to air warfare. The starting point and end point of a war will be in the air."

At the beginning, he thought Zhao Sui was just a simple scientific researcher who was somewhat idealistic and overly radical, but now, his view has been reversed.

"Last aspect, in this new project, we have solved a series of problems one after another, including the structure of the airframe, full-motion horizontal tail and other components, and even the manufacturing method of the main structural material TC4!"

"From the information we know, the F-22 uses electron beam welding, and the F-22 engine uses linear friction welding. It will take at least four to five years for these two technologies to break through."

If a project is qualitative at the beginning, it will be very troublesome to extend and expand it later, which will have a significant impact on efficiency.

For a short period of time, no one opinion seemed to prevail.

——

However, Chen Nian on the side didn't care at all about the quarrel.

"Beyond that, can the stealth coating solve it? Can the active phased array radar solve it? Can the IAS integrated avionics system solve it?"

"The reasons you mentioned are too broad. We all understand your concerns and your expectations, but the problem is that we always have to return to reality and look at our own feet."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yan sighed deeply.

Of course, this is by no means the result Chen Nian wants.

What's even more surprising is that he actually talked about "luck".

Since everyone in Institute 601 knew that Chen Nian had provided precise appearance drawings and partial structural drawings, but they did not know that he could continue to provide more information and technology, this was undoubtedly the option with the highest expectations.

What is luck?

"What does this mean? It means that the opportunity has arrived."

In fact, there is no such thing as luck in a country, and national luck is even more nonsense.

"So, my suggestion is just the opposite of Zhao Sui. I think we should be based on the existing technology, cherish this important breakthrough, and work hard on the basis of this breakthrough, and strive to be ahead of the curve in a single module.

"

no!

He looked around and was about to take the initiative to speak, but unexpectedly, someone beat him to it.

His speech was carefully considered and deduced.

In the case of insufficient resources, deep cultivation in a certain field, a breakthrough at a single point, and ultimately the realization of asymmetric competition and overtaking in corners is actually a strategy that China has been using for a long time.

It is undeniable that compared to Zhao Sui's idealism, the caution and planning shown in Lu Yan's speech are indeed extremely rare.

Lei Gang nodded understandingly.

In his hand, he held the document that Chen Nian handed over before the meeting started.

At this moment, both of them had made a decision in their hearts.

Move mountains!
Chapter completed!
