Chapter 42 Adventure

Although his superiors said that the specific decision would be notified to Lin Yongming the next day, in fact, by the time he finally received the confidential documents, a full week had passed.

During this week, countless people, including Lin Yongming, were in extreme suffering.

They are worried that the final decision will not be what they expected, and they are also worried about what they will do to live up to their trust if they really get the results they expected.

Therefore, under such high pressure, Chen Nian's life was not easy.

——

Of course, no one forced him to do anything, but the information passed from Chen Guo and Lei Gang also made him realize the urgency of the problem.

The results must be produced as soon as possible.

Otherwise, in this "either-or" choice, a tiny chip can tip the balance and lead to the worst outcome.

Therefore, during this week, he greatly shortened the time he spent studying. In addition to small classes every day, most of his time was spent on drawings.

The day before he decided to issue it, he finally completed all the drawings.

And this drawing became the last bargaining chip to determine the tilt direction of the scale.

In the imperial capital, Wang Ming sat opposite Marokov and said calmly:

"Marokov, I have always regarded you as our friend, but judging from the current situation, it seems that you do not treat us in the same way."

"I can't feel your sincerity."

"Okay, that engine, maybe I shouldn't slander it in person, but you also know that even if it is built, it is still far away from the truly usable standard."

"If we didn't regard you as friends, how could we hand over such a critical engine to you in this matter?"

Many thoughts flashed through Marokov's mind, but Wang Ming opposite him was not affected by him. Instead, he shook his head indifferently and said:

"This is not an exaggeration at all. What I said is the truth."

"There is no need for this. Except for existing contracts, we will no longer purchase new AL-31FN engines."

There is no reason for them to see such tiny details, because they don't have the engine to disassemble, and even if they have data, they can't analyze it to this extent.

This export project is originally top secret, and there are very few insiders, and those who know the key technologies of AL-31FN are all under control. At this point in time, the chance of leaks is almost zero.

If they actually did this.

Then their true technical strength is definitely not what we preset.

"Marokov, I don't want to talk nonsense to you. I just want to tell you one thing: we have learned about the major design flaws of the AL-31FN."

Marokov was stunned subconsciously.

"The accumulation of technology does not happen overnight. If you insist on taking risks, I can't even say I wish you good luck."

"Even if you don't bring it up, we will take the initiative to upgrade our technology in the future."

Marokov looked at each other in disbelief, wondering for a moment how they discovered this problem.

"If we don't take over, these obviously outdated technologies will become completely useless."

What qualifications do you have to evaluate this engine?

China's current understanding of AL-31FN is completely superficial. The real core design and technology are only known but not why.

"In fact, our researchers are already working on improvements."

"Even if you give it another ten years, you may not be able to achieve the performance of the AL-31FN."

"We no longer need this engine, we will use our own engine."

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room fell into an awkward silence.

The most reasonable explanation can only be that these Chinese people really relied on poor data and a few clues to piece together the key to the problem.

Otherwise, when you evaluate, are you basing your evaluation on your own imagination?

Are you kidding me?

Americans can say that AL-31FN is obsolete, Europeans can also say it, and even UKRIN can say it, but only China, you cannot say it.

"What?"

"You don't want to tell me that the J-10 has higher engine requirements than the SU-27."

But the question is, who did it?

It can't be the technical consultant around him, he has no chance.

Wang Ming shook his head decisively.

Could it be that the secret was leaked?

But he couldn't just throw in the towel - he wanted to take another gamble.

"lubricating."

These rabbits are really well hidden.

After being silent for half a minute, Marokov finally sighed and said:

"Okay. The AL-31FN's lubrication system does have flaws, but it's not a major problem."

Wang Ming shook his head slightly and asked:

"Actually, you know very well in your heart that the once powerful red empire is no longer there, and you are inevitably falling into decline."

domestic?

Is this the attitude a subordinate should have?

Marokov was shocked.

Because you don’t have it!

To evaluate something, you don’t have to be able to make something stronger, but at least you have to understand its principle, right?

Only by understanding the principle and knowing its flaws and advantages can you evaluate whether it is strong or weak.

"There are major flaws in the design of the AL-31FN's lubrication system. This flaw may not be a big deal for the SU-27, but for a single-engine fighter like the J-10, it is definitely a fatal flaw, isn't it?"

"You're definitely not going to be lucky."

"You have always known this, right?"

After hearing what he said, Marokov thought it was just a normal game used in negotiations, so he just put on a gentle smile and answered:

"Maybe the previous agreement needs to be modified."

"As for the price, I think we can discuss it further."

"But you didn't mention it at all from beginning to end. Do you think this is a sincere attitude?"

Wang Ming had gradually lost his patience. He directly interrupted Marokov's long speech and threw out his trump card.

Obviously it has not been officially delivered yet, and the engines that had problems in previous experiments have been recycled.

“Isn’t the premium we pay enough to cover your risks?”

What you should say is not "AL-31FN is obsolete", but "Although AL-31FN is not advanced enough, it is still powerful."

"This flaw may not be that serious, but if we use this engine on the J-10 as planned, the difference in stability will have fatal consequences."

"Obsolete? I won't comment on other technologies for now, but you said AL-31FN is outdated. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Ming, your words hurt my heart too much."

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

"The AL-31FN does have problems, large and small, but these problems are not unacceptable. You must know that it has been in safe service on the SU-27 for many years."

"What?"

"You also know that the AL-31FN is still one of our current main engines. In making such an export decision, we actually face many risks."

"Because you guys are really not good enough."

In this transaction, China is the inferior player!

"Your own engine? That WS-10? Or WS-10A? Ming, are you kidding?"

Marokov was shocked. When Wang Ming mentioned "Jian Shi", he was keenly aware that the other party might have actually discovered the problem.

Thinking of this, Marokov couldn't help but frowned.

"Don't worry, we won't let you suffer."

Marokov's expression was slightly unhappy. He looked directly at Wang Ming with sharp eyes.

After hearing his words, Wang Ming shook his head and replied:

"The decision is irreversible."

"We Chinese people just like to take risks sometimes."

"And we win almost every time."
