Chapter 580 Conversation at the New Years Eve Dinner Table(1/2)
On New Year's Eve, in the small courtyard of Huilou, at the New Year's Eve dinner table.
"I heard that Asan's people went to Damao, but nothing was done, and compensation was impossible. They wanted to purchase aircraft carrier deck steel. As for the Mikoyan Design Bureau, they took Asan to Zhukovsky.
I walked around and looked at the rolling test of the MiG 1.44, and then I was fooled and left."
Wu Shengli was eating and talking to Qin Tao.
"Mig 1.44, we must not do it." Qin Tao was slightly worried.
Asan has purchased a large number of MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft, and the Mikoyan Design Bureau has slowed down. If they invest a large amount of money to complete the test flight of the MiG 1.44, they may really be able to come back to life!
A dead Da Mao is a good Da Mao, and a dead Mikoyan Design Bureau is a good design bureau!
If the Mikoyan Design Bureau comes back to life through this project, it will continue to shine in the research and development of military aircraft! Compared with the Sukhoi Design Bureau, which defeated the Su-27 and regarded it as a new generation fighter aircraft, it is obvious that the Mikoyan Design Bureau
The potential is even greater!
After the collapse of the Red Empire, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has been resting on its laurels, while the Mikoyan Design Bureau may continue to forge ahead.
Therefore, we must not give Mikoyan Design Bureau a chance to breathe by any mistake!
"Of course we don't want strong air power to continue to appear in the north." Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao: "If you have any clever ideas, just tell Lao Lin. Lao Lin will definitely be grateful to you, and things will be better last time.
Let go."
"Of course I have a clever trick, and there is more than one." Qin Tao said: "But, Dad, based on what you just said, I think it won't be long before Da Mao comes to find me."
Da Mao is looking for you? Wu Shengli suddenly reacted: "Aircraft carrier deck steel?"
Kumar went to Red Star Shipyard and the price was US$50,000 per ton. When he went to Maanshan Iron and Steel Co., the price doubled. This means that if Red Star Shipyard goes to Maanshan Iron and Steel Co. to order deck steel, it will definitely have to pay a high price.
.
Therefore, it is better to continue ordering from Mingzhou Group!
"Two thousand tons of deck steel, even if you sell it for 30,000 US dollars per ton, that's still 60 million US dollars. You can earn at least 50 million US dollars from this business." Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao with a smile: "
It looks like you are going to make another fortune."
Qin Tao shook his head: "For us, this small amount of money is not worth it. However, the group still lacks money in many places. If the other party wants to order, then we really have to export. Unfortunately, we can't do it this time.
It’s so obvious.”
Last time, low-grade civilian steel was used to pretend to be deck steel. Next, if Ah San continues to order, he will not be able to do this. The other party is not stupid. The purchased steel must be tested. If the indicators are found to be insufficient,
That would cause trouble.
"Even if we don't export, Ah San still has to purchase deck steel from Maanshan Iron and Steel. Therefore, we can't stop Ah San's plan to build an aircraft carrier. The most we can do is delay the delivery time, and only deliver one or two hundred tons per year, so that Ah San can
The construction of the aircraft carrier project has seriously delayed its time," Qin Tao said.
Wu Shengli nodded: "That's it. You are in business, and we can't interfere too much. You have already made a great contribution by delaying Asan's Super Sun King aircraft carrier to the point where it cannot operate normally."
"Lao Wu, is Lao Wu at home?" At this moment, a voice came from outside.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. This New Year's Eve guy actually didn't have dinner at his own house, but came to my place." Wu Shengli smiled and stood up to greet him, and Mr. Lin opened the door and came in.
"Hey, Taozi is here too. Didn't you go to Mingzhou to celebrate the New Year?" Seeing Qin Tao here, Mr. Lin said with a smile.
"We have agreed that we will live as a family for one year." Qin Tao said: "Mr. Lin, you are here on New Year's Eve, you are probably not here to eat or drink, right?"
"Why not? I also brought a bottle of Maotai, full of it!"
Qin Tao quickly opened the lid of the Maotai that Mr. Lin brought and poured wine. Mr. Lin looked at Qin Tao with a smile: "Taozi, you know everything about Ah San going to Lao Maozi's place, right?"
"Well, I just heard about it." Qin Tao secretly laughed in his heart. Mr. Lin came here obviously just for this matter. He was too embarrassed to say it clearly just now!
"If Asan purchases a fighter aircraft like the MiG 1.44, we will be in big trouble in the future!" Mr. Lin said: "How can they deserve to have fourth-generation aircraft?"
"Mr. Lin, there are people who are more worried than us."
Mr. Lin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sukhoi Design Bureau?"
"Yes, Asan's funds are limited after all. If they put funds on the MiG 1.44, it is likely to interfere with the progress of the Su-30MKI project and even lead to the termination of the project."
Before the collapse of the Red Empire, the Homeland Defense Air Force had already equipped hundreds of Su-27s, as well as a certain two-seat Su-27UB. This aircraft was originally used to train pilots, but in actual operations
, but a strange phenomenon occurred: pilots prefer to use this kind of aircraft to perform patrol missions!
A two-seat aircraft will cause a reduction in fuel capacity and range. This shortcoming does not matter to the Su-27 fighter, which has a long range. On the contrary, a two-seat aircraft with two pilots makes it more convenient to perform tasks, regardless of
Whether it is cruising or flying in a four-plane formation, it will be easier to have a two-seater with a commander sitting behind it.
Therefore, the Sukhoi Design Bureau also made a decision. Since the troops like it so much, they will simply change the two-seat trainer aircraft into a fighter-bomber!
However, when we were just about to start, the Red Empire was gone! At that time, the Sukhoi Design Bureau had not yet sold Su-27 to the world, and there was no extra money to improve it. Therefore, when Dongfang began to purchase Su-27Sk
At that time, Lao Maozi issued an invitation to jointly develop the Su-30!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, Dongfang had no money, and the technical risks were too great, so we gave up.
After a few years, Lao Maozi finally got rich, and the two-seater model was improved, and Dongfang placed an order in history.
Ah San was tempted. Seeing that Dongfang had the long-range Su-27 series, of course they couldn't wait to have this more advanced fighter jet, and it had to be more advanced than Dongfang's!
In November last year, Asan and Damao signed a purchase contract for forty Su-30MKIs worth US$1.5 billion. The first Su-30MKI will be delivered to Asan after the new millennium. (It is also said that 50 aircraft were purchased for 1.8 billion.)
The reason why it is so slow is of course because Asan has very high requirements. This Su-30MKI is not a simple two-seat modification of the Su-27UB. It applies a lot of new technologies, such as canards and vector nozzles.
It was transplanted from the Su-37 numbered 711.
At the same time, Ah San is not worried about Damao's avionics. Therefore, the avionics system of this fighter needs to use French and Israeli products. In this way, the Su-30MKI becomes an international cooperation project.
Of course, such a project will be very slow. The project has only been carried out for a few months now. Due to the incident of the Super Sun King, Asan is very cautious in investment. Currently, only tens of millions of initial R&D funds have been allocated.
Although the MiG 1.44 is an air superiority fighter and has a different combat mission from a fighter-bomber like the Su-30, Ah San would not consider so much when doing things, in case he fell in love with another person and fell in love with the MiG 1.44.
, gave up the Su-30MKI project?
Therefore, Sukhoi Design Bureau will definitely be very anxious!
"Now, this aircraft is being tested in Zhukovsky, and the forward-swept wing demonstrator S-37 Golden Eagle of the Sukhoi Design Bureau is also being tested at the Flight Test Institute. Therefore, they still have a way, and there is nothing else to do, even if it is just
Even if you do some tricks in the fuel, you can also burn that MiG 1.44." Qin Tao said with a smile: "With the current strength of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, as long as the prototype is gone, they will not be able to build another one.
"
This prototype was built in the Red Empire era. If you want to rebuild it now, many supporting parts cannot be produced, such as the two abnormal AL-41F engines.
The fourth uncle is much more powerful than the third uncle. This engine has a thrust-to-weight ratio of 11 and a maximum afterburning thrust of 175 N. It is said that such an advanced engine should continue to be used, but in the end it disappeared.
The S-37 Golden Eagle currently undergoing test flights uses two D-30 engines, but the thrust is large enough, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is pitifully low.
Even in later generations, Lao Maozi's new generation Su-57 fighter jet also uses the AL-41F1-117S jet engine. It is also the fourth uncle, but the thrust of a single engine is only 15 tons, compared to the fourth uncle on the MiG 1.44.
Far from it, because it is actually just a modified version of the third uncle's model.
The fourth uncle used on the MiG 1.44 was already the last song of the Red Empire. I don’t know whether it was due to immature design or technical problems of the workers. In short, it never appeared again.
(There is also a saying that there is no need for such a large thrust. East China is skeptical about this statement. Which aircraft designer despises the thrust of his own engine? The maximum take-off weight of the Su-57 is 35 tons. If this old
For the fourth uncle of this model, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole machine just reaches 1! It is much better than what is used now.)
A few people were chatting and laughing, but the content of the conversation was inappropriate for children. Although they didn't kill anyone, they just set fire to it, which was despicable enough.
Mr. Lin nodded: "Yes, your plan is very good, but how should we inform Mr. Maozi about this method?"
"This is your business, don't come to trouble me." Qin Tao said, "Okay, let's move on to the next topic."
Next?
"Zhang Zhong said that the program can be dedicated to a MiG 1.44 program. Anyway, the aircraft has to be publicly displayed to the audience. This is not considered a leak. In this program, we can belittle it and put this kind of aircraft on display.
Airplanes are useless."
Using the media is a common method used by Qin Tao. Zhang Zhong has done many things for Qin Tao and can criticize anyone he wants.
"Why is it useless? That was the last song of the Red Empire." Mr. Lin was a little curious.
"Yes, it is the product of Lao Maozi's fight against the F-22, but if you look at its appearance, does it have any shadow of a stealth aircraft?" Qin Tao turned on the mocking mode: "It doesn't have any aerodynamic shape at all.
The stealth correction completely leaves the stealth task to the so-called plasma generator. However, I guess this project must have become obsolete. How dare a fighter without stealth capabilities call itself the world's second heavy-duty fourth-generation aircraft?
"
"It is the first Lao Maozi fighter aircraft to use an abdominal air inlet, which greatly improves the performance at large elevation angles. However, at the same time, the air inlet is not blocked, and the radar reflection of the engine fan blades is also very strong. The radar of this aircraft
There will be no difference between the Echo and the third-generation machine, so if I really want to call it a fourth-generation machine, then go back and resurface it."
"Also, its belly bomb bay can only carry four missiles, and it doesn't even have side bomb bays. In a fierce air battle, what are four missiles enough for?"
After hearing the previous content, Mr. Lin nodded frequently, but when he heard the last words, Mr. Lin became curious: "How do you know that its belly bomb bay can only hold four missiles?"
Everything else is understandable, but the last one has never been announced to the public at all.
Of course it is the knowledge of future generations! But Qin Tao was not nervous: "Listen to what Mao and the others said in fragments."
Although Mao Zhanzhang is from the Yakovlev Design Bureau, they must have participated in the bidding for this kind of fighter. They have some understanding of the performance of this kind of fighter, and they also know how many missiles can be hung in the built-in bomb bay.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, Qin Tao's explanation did not arouse any doubts.
"Yes, this aircraft has many technical flaws and is not a complete fourth-generation aircraft at all." Mr. Lin said, "We can make a fuss about this aspect."
It doesn't matter if you throw dirty water on Mikoyan Design Bureau. Anyway, there is no intersection between China and Mikoyan Design Bureau, and what they say is fair and reasonable, and there is no private goods involved.
