v2 Chapter 742: dare not try

Bao Zixuan is very relieved, as long as the country realizes the gap. So with the talent accumulation of Huaxia, I believe that it will take a few years to develop the third-generation machine. As an aeronautical engineer, of course, I know that Huaxia currently needs to break through those technical difficulties in the development of the third-generation aircraft. But there are some things that he can't say, and the other party has to bring it up.

This is not that Bao Zixuan is hypocritical, but that he can't break the word. How much to save some face for others, otherwise the face will not look good.

The richest man Bao smiled and said: "I don't know much about Huaxia's current weapons and equipment. I should be very anxious to hear what you say. As a Chinese, it is of course my duty to help the country. What do you need me or the Heiyun Group to do? Say it straight, you understand my character. At the same time, as a soldier, your character should be very straightforward. There are no outsiders here, so please tell me if you need anything."

Bao Zixuan dare not say that the Huaxia Air Force is still making a fuss on the MiG-21, after all, it is a state secret. How could he, a businessman, know that a spy was placed in mainland China. That's not just looking for trouble, but it will also bring trouble to yourself and the company. It is better for Zhao Haijun to say some things himself. As a military personnel who often go out to the field, of course, he knows what to say and what to say. There are still some standards for this.

Knowing that Bao Zixuan was pretending to be confused, Zhao Haijun was still very happy. It proves that the young man in front of him came to China mainland to do business, and he had no other ideas. Now that the Black Cloud Group has entered the field of military industry, many things have to be prevented.

Zhao Haijun said with a smile: "It is a pleasure to communicate with Mr. Bao. This time I come here to discuss something. The Huaxia military is preparing to study the third-generation fighter jets, so I hope to cooperate with the Black Cloud Group. The main reason is that the Black Cloud Group can send engineers here. China mainland, to jointly develop aero-engines, override systems and avionics for third-generation fighters."

Hearing that Bao Zixuan was a little embarrassed, after all, a case was widely circulated in Rolls-Royce. The Spey engine proved it well; he didn't dare to take the risk.

The Spey engine was the first turbofan jet engine developed by the British Rolls-Royce Company in the 1960s. At the time; the invention of the Spey jet engine was a major breakthrough in mechanical engineering. The main thing is that it performs very well compared to other jet engines of its generation.

Even the mighty Americans bought Spey's patents and built a production line in the United States to meet demand.

In the 1970s, China achieved a breakthrough in its relations with Western countries. Instigated by the US imperialists, the leader of the Western alliance, some Western developed countries took the initiative to invite Chinese personnel to visit their military enterprises. In July 1973, the British government announced that it would export Spey engines to Huaxia.

Two years later, the actual work officially began. British Rolls-Royce has sent dozens of aerodynamic engineers to participate in the localization of Spey engine in China.

British aeronautical engineers also had a good impression of the warm hospitality of the Chinese side at first, and had certain illusions about completing the task as soon as possible and returning to the UK. Before long, the colorful soap bubbles blown by both sides suddenly burst.

At that time, Huaxia planned to take two steps. First, it took three years to learn to use imported parts to assemble qualified Spey, and then five years to realize localization.

British personnel found that most of the Chinese technicians were trained in the assembly of Soviet jet engines, but they were obviously very inexperienced. An interpreter told them that the Soviet experts had only stayed for two years before suddenly running away, and the Chinese technicians had just learned a little Russian.

There were more than 10,000 parts of the Spey jet engine shipped. It took two months to store them in different categories. The Chinese side insisted on arranging how to store the parts according to their opinions.

In the assembly of parts, the Huafang factory has set up a work team of hundreds of people, divided into several competing groups. Team leaders did not get along well, often quarrelled at meetings, and did not listen to foreign experts. British specialists, although widely involved in specific work, are often consciously excluded in certain contexts.

Getting along with their workers and engineers was not easy, according to one expert. In addition to the language barrier, it always feels like there is something invisible in the air separating us. When the person in charge talks to us, his face turns red, and he always looks at these white people from afar with strange eyes. Many meetings do not notify us to attend...''

At the beginning, the morale of each working group was high, and they were scrambling to catch up with the progress. They carried out the assembly work according to their imagination and imprecise translation. After scrapping an engine, they were obviously severely criticized by their superiors; the assembly work was even more complete. Stopped for a month.

In the factory, the translators who had the most contact with the British technicians were Chinese translators, trying desperately to extract some secrets from the British population. The Chinese technicians were forbidden to contact with the British technicians after work. According to the British experts, these translators later became technical leaders and witnessed them speak at the front of the conference.

Huaxia technicians underestimated the difficulty of assembling the Spey engine and used the set of tools and methods left over from the Soviet Union to work, and soon lost their position in the face of more sophisticated Western parts. Importing machine tools and tools produced in Western Europe took another few months.

The British originally planned to assemble the first Spey engine in 5 months, but later changed it to 7 months, which actually took more than a year.

In 1979, China underwent earth-shaking changes, so that the imitation of the Spey engine had to be stopped. At this time, the test run of the Spey engine assembled by Huaxia in the UK has just been successful.

Bao Zixuan knew that it would take 27 years for the successful localization of the Spey engine!

Although there are fundamental differences compared to the 1970s, most of Heiyun's aviation engineers are Europeans and Americans. There will definitely be discomfort when working there, and there may also be problems with Rolls-Royce Company back then. If it is not done well, it will also affect the relationship with the Chinese mainland.

You must know that the engineers of the Black Cloud Group can only be subdued by the super genius Bao Zixuan, and they will not work according to the opinions of Huaxia. All these are troublesome, so Bao Zixuan dare not try.

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "Forget about joint research and development. After all, the third-generation aircraft is related to China's national defense secrets. Most of the aviation engineers in the Black Cloud Group are European and American, and there is a risk of leaking secrets. I don't dare to take this risk. The problem is that I am a sinner of the nation, and even death cannot atone for my sin.”

"Heiyun Group is preparing to enter the research and development of the third-generation aircraft. Of course, the project has not yet been approved. However, the third-generation fighter engine has been successfully developed. If the country needs it, the Black Cloud Group can sell it at the cost price. In addition, avionics and control systems are of great importance. It’s better to do your own research. The Black Cloud Group can open up some technologies for free, and there’s only so much I can do.”

Zhao Haijun himself is embarrassed to say that they are jointly developing the third-generation aircraft, but Heiyun Group can even develop the HH-01 Ghost stealth aircraft. The third-generation machine is absolutely high-tech in mainland China, and it is an insurmountable technological peak in the short term. But in front of Heiyun Group, it is not enough to see, plus Bao Zixuan is a recognized aviation expert in the world, it is not difficult for others at all.

The joint research and development is more to use the technology of Heiyun Group; now Bao Zixuan refuses It sounds very reasonable, so Zhao Haijun does not know how to refute for a while.

In fact, there is another point that Zhao Haijun did not say, which would be even more embarrassing. It was a technical expert from Huaxia who proposed to jointly develop a bomber with Heiyun, or upgrade the existing bomber.

The HH-01 Ghost Fighter Bomber of the Black Cloud Group is already the best bomber in the world, and it has been rated as leading by the media. This is the existence of the era for 20 years. At this time, he proposed to jointly develop a bomber with others. Isn't it obvious that the monk has a louse on his head.

Of course, we can't say how the experts are, but we must admire them. The Chinese people in this era are very dedicated and think that Bao Zixuan is Chinese; it is only natural to have good technology and share it.

Seeing that Bao Zixuan's attitude was firm, Zhao Haijun did not continue to insist. Maybe people also have something to hide, even for the sake of the country, it can't be too much.

It is good to be able to provide the engine now, there is no need to ask for anything. The Black Cloud Group is a company that definitely needs to make money. It can sell aircraft engines at cost prices and provide some technologies for free. It is already very rare, and ordinary businessmen have not yet realized this.
