After confirming the export plan, the three major groups divided their forces into three groups. Norinco returned to Zhongbing with Chen Nian's technical drawings and began trial production of individual air defense missiles and A-300 rocket launchers. Poly Technology sent people to Saudi Arabia to start

Sales are warming up, and AVIC No. 1, represented by Lin Yongming, quickly launched the J-8 reconstruction project.

What is gratifying is that the optimization project for the J-8 is actually ongoing, so it is not difficult to temporarily add new design requirements.

——

Of course, this is not difficult, it's just relative.

The current J-82 uses the WP-13 engine. This engine is completely designed for high-altitude and high-speed performance, and is adapted to the function of the J-8 as an interceptor.

But the problem is that after the era entered the 21st century, the role of interceptors has been infinitely reduced. Not only China, but even some small countries no longer need such interceptors.

Therefore, this modification will involve functional changes to the J-8, the most core of which is to replace the turbojet engine with a turbofan engine.

To achieve this, we must first build a usable turbofan engine - the WS-10 project, which is urgent.

In Institute 606, Wang Xianguo transferred three people from the project team originally responsible for the F119 engine to the WS-10 project team, bringing them the latest technology and materials.

This time, with the support of newly arrived hot isostatic pressing equipment, the WS-10 engine project has progressed much more smoothly.

For nearly two months, the project team members were like moving ants, digesting Project No. 22, or the technology sent by Chen Nian, bit by bit, and then applied it to the WS-10 engine.

With the industrial machinery running at full speed, this engine that should have been formed is undergoing changes almost every day.

At the same time, the original problem of strengthening the structural optimization caused by the excessively high compressor pressure ratio has also been comprehensively solved. The new single crystal material directly solved the problem of insufficient strength, and the weight of the entire engine was reduced by more than 15%.

Lin Yongming replied angrily. Although he pretended to be serious on his face, in his heart he was almost smiling.

"So, in the WS-10 improvement project, I did not limit the performance of the project team. Any new technologies or new breakthroughs were used directly without considering the manufacturing cost."

"Why is it so high...these data are much higher than we expected. If this happens, I won't be able to sell takeaways!"

"You call it a little over the standard? Is the thing you're working on now still the same thing as the WS-10 we originally designed?"

Secondly, the combustion chamber, compressor, turbine, and fan blade materials were completely replaced, and the fan blades even used a perforated heat dissipation structure.

After a long time, Lin Yongming put down the information in his hand and said:

"Is this the engine you built? Is this your J-83?"

At that time, I already recognized that he was a genius, but at the same time, he was also a slightly radical genius who was too keen on taking risks.

Lei Gang and Wang Xianguo looked at each other, with a tacit smile on their faces.

But after seeing him take out various technologies from Project 22 one by one, my opinion changed again.

Sure enough, Chen Nian's overall vision was definitely not as simple as he thought.

But now it seems that my view of Chen Nian is still wrong!

They had no intention of making a mistake at all.

"What else can we do? Go ahead and kill Shi Bai! Just wait for me here, right?"

Well, I just wanted you to use the scraps from Project 22 to improve an old project that was on the verge of death. As a result, you not only saved this project, but you even solved the urgent problem of the J-10 not being able to fly into the sky.

!

Once this WS-10 comes out, what else will we need for the AL-31FN?

After ground testing, the engine was finally determined to have a rated thrust of 13.9 tons, a peak thrust of 15.2 tons, a thrust-to-weight ratio of 7.8, and a total weight of only 1,600 kilograms, which is 100 kilograms lighter than the AL-31FN.

If Lin Yongming's tone is like this, then they can rest assured.

Otherwise, how could he be so determined to stop the AL-31FN project?

However, looking at the excellent data, many researchers participating in the WS-10 project invariably raised a question:

This engine...is really going to be sold?

…

I am afraid that when he first proposed the No. 22 project, he had already predicted that technological evolution would have a reverse impact on the existing WS-10 project, and prompted this project to achieve results in a short period of time, replacing the original AL-31FN.

Location.

It has been given a new lease of life!

After the entire modification, WS-10 is still WS-10 because most of the structure has not changed.

No. 601, in the temporary office of the general manager.

Moreover, whether it is high-altitude, high-speed performance or low-speed performance, this engine is not weaker than the AL-31FN, not to mention its stability.

Wang Xianguo and Lei Gang sat opposite Lin Yongming, carefully looking at the frowning man in front of them, and no one dared to disturb him.

"Has the data been verified? Are you sure it's not a false bid for foreign trade?"

"According to your approach, the cost of a single machine will be in the tens of millions, and exporting will definitely not be a concern."

At first, I thought that his decision to stop the introduction of AL-31FN was just blind arrogance and too ambitious.

For a long time, I comforted myself by saying, "It doesn't matter. Being a genius means being confident. Even if you make some mistakes, it doesn't matter, as long as the organization provides more guidance and care."

Finally, the application of TBC and Alloy C coatings completes the last step of the engine's thermal working environment and completely solves the problem of high-temperature ablation at the compressor outlet.

First of all, the overall blisk design replaces the previous welding and riveting structure, which greatly reduces the failure rate, reduces human tolerances during the assembly process, and greatly improves the stability of the engine.

As a result, the high-temperature performance of the entire engine has been greatly improved, and the high-temperature creep problem that was originally unresolved has been solved. The theoretical maximum thrust of the entire engine has also been increased by more than 20%.

"But if we want to export, it is very easy to make a foreign trade version. We just need to reduce the materials and simplify the process..."

"My idea is this, no matter what the situation, it is always good to have technological breakthroughs."

Because this engine is no longer the original WS-10 that was pieced together, had extremely poor technical maturity, and had an impressive failure rate and longevity.

After hearing Wang Xianguo's words, Lin Yongming shook his head helplessly.

However, it is no longer WS-10.

Wang Xianguo smiled and asked knowingly.

"Then...what should we do?"

Therefore, Wang Xianguo spoke before Lei Gang:

"Leader, the current data is indeed a bit over the standard, and the cost is also high, but I guarantee that it will not delay export foreign trade."

How could it be possible that when the No. 22 project was in financial trouble, instead of proposing to share the budget from the readily available WS-10 project, it immediately came up with a series of products suitable for arms sales after just issuing a consultation request?

Product technology?

What a far-sighted person.

Lin Yongming never thought that one day he would use such a word to describe a college student.

However, what's wrong with this?

Having such a talented person is definitely a huge blessing.

It can even be said that it is the national destiny.
Chapter completed!
