So fast? Qin Tao was a little dumbfounded.

"Of course, ten thousand years is too long, just seize the day!" said Mr. Lin.

He really couldn't wait. After all, the strategic bombing capability has always been the shortcoming of the Air Force. Now, the three White Swans can still hold up, but they have always been hidden in the darkness and cannot be seen. If a stealth bomber is developed,

If it is publicly displayed to the outside world, it will definitely enhance national prestige and military prestige.

Mr. Lin is full of expectations.

"Then do we have to pass by Factory 172 and Factory 430? We have to see how their research and development is progressing," Qin Tao said.

In fact, he had just made the decision on the stealth bomber project. After all, his team could not be disbanded and he had to have a new project. If he could not build a twin-engine heavy aircraft, he could only build a stealth bomber. Now, everything has changed.

He didn't make arrangements and took Mr. Lin there directly, which was a bit hasty.

But Mr. Lin can't wait.

"Do you want to know the progress of replicating the NK-32 engine of the Tu-22M bomber?" Mr. Lin said: "There is no need to go over there. They are all here. I will make a call and ask them to come over. Forget it, let's go over.

It would be more formal to discuss these matters in the conference room."

"Mr. Lin, we just drank several glasses of wine, and now we are smelling of alcohol. Is it appropriate to go there?" Qin Tao asked.

"What's inappropriate?" Mr. Lin shook his head: "These few glasses of wine are just to moisten your throat. Are you afraid that I will drink too much and go crazy?"

After Mr. Lin finished speaking, he took a few more sips and put down the bottle: "Let's go now. The atmosphere is just right."

Qin Tao could only follow.

At this time, the meeting on the Air Force side had just ended. Everyone had received their tasks and filed out of the conference room. At this moment, a voice came from the opposite side: "Comrades from the 172nd Factory and 430th Factory stay, the others

People can leave!"

Leader Liu was still sorting documents on the rostrum. Hearing this voice, he quickly stood up and strode towards the door: "Old Lin, what can I do for you?"

"Well, I have something, and I want to find out about it from them." After Mr. Lin finished speaking, he rolled his eyes at Leader Liu: "What? Do I no longer have the power?"

"Of course." Leader Liu nodded quickly: "I will also stay and attend the meeting."

Although Mr. Lin is retired, he is definitely not a man who has just left. He is still very energetic. If he really doesn't like Leader Liu, he can even get Leader Liu away.

Seeing Mr. Lin and Qin Tao together, Zhou Guozhen became inexplicably excited. He hadn't seen Mr. Qin for a long time. This time he came with Mr. Lin. There must be something important. Could it be that he wanted to find out about Hongliu K?

Is there any progress with Todoroki J?

Mr. Jiang from Factory 430 had a complicated expression. His throat moved a few times as he wanted to say something.

"Mr. Jiang, how are you doing lately?" At this moment, Qin Tao passed by Mr. Jiang and said hello to him.

"It's very bad." Mr. Jiang said casually.

"What's wrong?" Qin Tao was stunned for a moment. Mr. Jiang's attitude seemed very unusual.

"President Qin, you promised us before to develop a 40-megawatt gas turbine based on the NK-32 turbofan sixteen, but as a result, you..."

Mr. Jiang was very excited at the beginning. They mapped out a copy of the NK-32 engine, which was related to the key bomber model of the navy and air force. Moreover, they also proposed to improve the gas turbine based on this engine.

Factory 430 has wanted to build gas turbines for more than a day or two. When they were working on GT-, they came over to help and had this idea. What was the result? Mr. Qin said, you should copy Sibei first, so 430

The factory said goodbye to this kind of gas turbine.

Then, there is the NK-32, which is a large turbofan engine. Based on this engine, it is enough to develop a 40-megawatt gas turbine. President Qin promised well at that time. What was the result?

Tianjiao Aviation has cooperated with Ermao to develop a naval gas turbine based on the D-18T engine! And here, because the imitation work of the NK-32 has not yet ended, the development of the naval gas turbine has not yet begun, and it will definitely be inferior to

It’s fast to fly to Tianjiao Airlines.

This means that the modification of the NK-32 gas turbine is considered a scam.

It's unethical for Mr. Qin to do this!

Mr. Jiang has always been a straight man, but now he told this matter in front of Qin Tao.

Qin Tao was also stunned for a moment, and then he remembered, yes, there was such a thing, how could he have forgotten it?

Both the NK-32 and D-18T are three-rotor engines. They are both advanced engines that were developed by the Red Empire a few years before its collapse. However, these two engines are still different. The NK-32 is used by bombers.

It is still a supersonic bomber, so its bypass ratio cannot be too large, otherwise the windward area will be too large. The D-18T is for transport aircraft. In order to save fuel, its bypass ratio is very large.

Therefore, if the two need to be modified, the D-18T is more suitable. Whoever saves fuel should use it. Qin Tao agreed to modify the NK-32 because there was no other choice. Now that he has the D-18T, of course he has to use it.

Moreover, by modifying the naval gas turbine, we can also study the technology of D-18T, so that if our own side needs a super giant in the future, we can produce matching engines at any time.

Qin Tao didn't think there was any problem. He was very happy when he communicated with Er Mao, but he seemed to have forgotten NK-32.

What now?

Mr. Jiang came to complain, what should he say?

Sorry, I forgot earlier?

No, in this case, Mr. Jiang will have to fight Qin Tao.

"Yes, I promised you back then, what happened?" Qin Tao decided to ask a rhetorical question.

What's wrong? Needless to say?

"Mr. Qin, you are also developing a 40-megawatt gas turbine. Isn't this the same model as the one we developed?"

"What's wrong with being the same? You can compete." Qin Tao said: "Mr. Jiang, the 21st century is about to come. Isn't competition a normal thing?"

Mr. Jiang was speechless.

Mr. Jiang intuitively thought that the Mingzhou Group's project would surpass his own project, but he seemed to have forgotten that there is a competition mechanism now!

Survival of the fittest through competition is cruel to the eliminated opponents, but it is beneficial to the entire industry. After all, only competition can develop.

Over the years, Factory 430 has always relied on funding from superiors, and the models were also given by superiors, whether it was Sibei or NK-32. Over time, they seem to have forgotten the competition mechanism. Now, thinking of this, Mr. Jiang’s face

Somewhat ashamed.

"Yes, competition is competition, what do we have to fear?" Mr. Jiang said, "We have confidence in our products."

Mr. Lin walked in front and didn't care about these trivial matters. He knew that Qin Tao would solve them easily.

At this time, Mr. Lin and Leader Liu had already walked to the front and sat on the rostrum. Mr. Lin looked down: "Lao Jiang, please tell me first, your progress in mapping the imitation of NK-32."

Hearing Mr. Lin ask about this, Mr. Jiang finally got excited again.

"Okay." Mr. Jiang nodded: "With the help of the NK-32 prototype and the original engine designer Sobolev and others, we have made rapid progress in replicating the turbofan XVI. So far, we have

A prototype of the core machine has been manufactured and is ready to be tested."

This is NK-32!

In various information of later generations, this kind of engine was praised to the sky, saying that it was some old man's treasure at the bottom of the box, and not a single screw would be sold to the East.

This is of course nonsense. If Lao Maozi can't produce it himself, how can he sell it to the East? However, the technology of this engine does have many unique features. Especially in terms of maximum thrust, it is definitely the most powerful engine for bombers in the world.

Without an engine of this level, it is impossible to produce a large bomber. The Tu-160 has a maximum takeoff weight of 275 tons and relies on this engine.

"When we were copying, we found that many technologies of Lao Maozi's engine were backward, so we used our own technology to transform it. Therefore, the performance should be better than the original version of Lao Maozi, especially the lifespan. We don't expect it to be

It is less than one thousand hours, but after the car passes the long-term test run in the future, it may reach more than two thousand hours."

These are the strengths of the country, especially the 430 factory that imitates Spey. The life of their Spey is very long. Coupled with the development of domestic aviation technology, the performance of the copied products has been greatly improved, which is normal.

.

At this time, hearing these developments, Mr. Lin nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that this engine should be mature within three to five years."

"Yes, we will definitely not delay the production of H-6K and H-6J." Mr. Jiang said.

Factory 430 and Factory 172 are in the same city and have many connections with each other. Now with the bomber project, the two factories have become a close whole.

"If we make changes to this engine, such as removing the afterburner and turning it into a non-afterburner engine, it shouldn't be difficult, right?" Mr. Lin asked.

"This is not difficult...Old Lin, are we going to have a new project?" Mr. Jiang is very sensitive. One engine corresponds to one aircraft, one carrot for another. Now Mr. Lin suddenly wants an engine without afterburner, what does that mean?

What?

There must be new projects.

Leader Liu also cast his expectant gaze over. Mr. Lin has retired and would not come here under normal circumstances. Today he suddenly came and brought Mr. Qin with him. There must be something important. Could it be that the Mingzhou Group is going to come?

New project, using this kind of engine without afterburner?

What project is that? Must be some kind of bomber!

Thinking of this, he also became excited.

"Lao Zhou, how is the progress of your surveying and mapping of the imitation Tu-22M?" Mr. Lin did not answer directly, but asked Zhou Guozhen again.

"We encountered many difficulties when we were imitating them, but we overcame them one by one." Zhou Guozhen said: "After all, we have experience in producing H-6s, and we also have a lot of advanced technologies, such as the launch of aircraft.

In the past, we needed to use welding to manufacture the landing gear. Now, as we have an 80,000-ton die forging press in China, we can already forge it as a whole. Coupled with our advanced CNC machining center,

The quality produced is better than that of Lao Maozi.”

Last time during the development process of Coordinated Yun-20, Qin Tao heard Tang Changhong talk about the problem of landing gear. At that time, he decided that we should do it ourselves. The largest one in the world is 75,000 tons, so let's build one.

Eighty thousand tons came out!

After all, if we want to build a large aircraft, we cannot do without this kind of thing.
