Chapter 514: Giving up halfway (first update)

"The Air Force, Navy, and Army are all asking me for some helicopters for experiments."

"Today's meeting also reported excellent data on our helicopter, and there is a lot of room for modification of this helicopter. The anti-submarine helicopter modified by a certain research institute has achieved initial success."

"The excellent performance on the plateau has made many people like this helicopter very much."

"Now other departments want to get the helicopters for modification research, and the Air Force and Army hope to convert them into armed transport helicopters."

"The Navy hopes to convert it into an anti-submarine helicopter."

Of course, the biggest role of this helicopter is transportation. The helicopter is used to improve the mobility and rapid response performance of the troops.

Liu Hai was not surprised at all when he heard Sun Aiguo's words. In fact, both domestic and foreign military equipment will eventually become structured and universal.

It's just that in this era, we have no relevant research on this aspect.

It can be said that we don’t know that this direction exists at all. Even foreign countries are currently in the stage of exploring and developing, and there is a relatively clear direction.

Of course, Liu Hai's era was much better. Historically, it was not until we saw the flat-panel aperture radar of the old American F14 that could track 24 targets at the same time. Then we went home and looked at our own series of aircraft radars.

It was from that time that we purchased many patents related to small companies abroad, and then established our own microelectronics companies, semiconductor companies, SMIC, Unisoc, and Shanghai Microelectronics.

Relying on our strong bauxite industry system, we later made the active phased array radar a bargain.

And in the early days, because we had no money and were poor, we only invested heavily in nuclear weapons. The nuclear weapons plan formulated by a few talented scientists continued until the era of Liu Hai's time travel.

In other industrial categories, because there is no money to invest, there are no talented scientists to conduct continuous research in this area and make long-term plans.

So it seems to be a little behind in the subsequent development.

In fact, in 16, the international situation changed, and Liu Hai, who understood the situation, was not worried.

At that time, although our semiconductor technology was not as good as that of Western countries such as the United States and the United States, it was more than enough to beat other countries, especially in terms of weapons and equipment.

What Liu Hai does here is the thinking behind it, focusing on framework, generalization and modularization.

To put it bluntly, it is a method of shell replacement. The same frame can be compatible with the engine transmission system of its own system.

The helicopter Liu Hai built this time is itself a general-purpose helicopter.

There are as many as 30 models of Black Hawk helicopters, so you can know how excellent this helicopter is and how huge the potential for modification is.

Moreover, the framework and hardware version of Liu Hai have almost reached the best state. It can be said that it is the result of decades of continuous optimization by Bald Eagle.

Even the Black Hawk helicopter that Bald Eagle takes out now is far inferior to Liu Hai's one.

The performance of such a helicopter goes without saying in this era. No wonder several other departments wanted to surround Sun Aiguo after hearing this.

"It will take some time for us to produce mass production here." It has been more than half a year since the prototype came off the production line last year. However, due to the difficulty of overall workers and manufacturing technology, mass production is not yet possible.

"They don't know the technical difficulty involved. We don't have to worry about this national skills competition, and I have one less thing to worry about." Sun Aiguo shook his head. He had been a soldier before, so he naturally knew how to watch. The mentality of wanting good things.

Although these equipment are allocated uniformly by higher-level departments, it is absolutely right for these departments to complain to Sun Aiguo first.

"In fact, our domestic military equipment now has no big problem in self-protection." Liu Hai said again after hearing this.

"The higher-level departments are also having some discussions on this issue. There is no problem with self-protection, but we still need to develop naval equipment and air force equipment."

"By the way, last time the dealers sent word that they were going to sell bold-class aircraft carriers. Subsequent dealers said they would only equip 2 to 3 aircraft carrier fleets, not as many as they do now."

"The two new aircraft carriers built by the dealers both have a displacement of more than 8 tons, which is much larger than their current aircraft carriers." After finishing speaking, Sun Aiguo took another sip of water, then put down the water glass and sat on the chair next to him. .

"It's really strange. Why do I feel that your chair is more comfortable than the one in my office?" Sun Aiguo said casually after sitting down.

The chairs in Liu Hai's office are all copied. These chairs are designed by excellent designers and are very ergonomic.

However, Liu Hai did not explain so much. He was not very clear about the aircraft carriers at the dealers. However, Liu Hai also knew that there were currently 5 aircraft carrier formations at the dealers, but most of them were light aircraft carriers.

The third brother bought a light aircraft carrier from a dealer a few years ago, which seemed to be only 3 tons.

"What is the displacement of the bold class?" Liu Hai asked as he thought of this.

"It seems to be about 5 tons. The detailed information is with the superior department, but I have not reported to the superior department your personal intention to purchase an aircraft carrier."

"The higher-ups don't seem to be very satisfied with this Bold-class aircraft carrier. The main reason is that it is too backward, and if we buy it, a lot of the equipment on it will definitely be dismantled."

"And Bald Eagle has decided to eliminate all conventionally powered aircraft carriers and use nuclear powered aircraft carriers, all of which are 10 tons."

"They have learned lessons from this war. Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are more cost-effective and cost-effective, especially in the case of protracted battles."

"Moreover, buying an aircraft carrier alone does not count. We also need carrier-based aircraft. This is another area where we are short."

"And it can be expected that the bald eagle will definitely stand up and object, and our big brother will also object. It is not cost-effective to spend a lot of money to buy an empty shell now."

"The main thing is the supporting facilities related to the aircraft carrier. Our side is still far behind." Sun Aiguo said a lot in one breath.

"Furthermore, the superior department feels that instead of spending such a large price to buy this empty shell, which we do not have the supporting equipment, it is better to invest this money in the missile field."

Liu Hai was not surprised at all when he heard Sun Aiguo's words, although later in our country, the price was equivalent to buying scrap products, and he bought an empty shell.

But the two are completely different. Although we will buy a rusty empty shell later, to put it bluntly, that thing is just a new semi-finished product.

Although it looks rusty on the surface, it is actually better than buying someone else's used aircraft carrier.

Because other people's aircraft carriers will definitely dismantle some related sensitive systems.

Then, it is impossible to dismantle all the equipment on the ship and then redesign and install it. This would be too expensive, but if you don't want to dismantle all the equipment, you have to research other equipment that matches these equipment.

You can imagine the difficulty of this. You are buying junk that others have retired and don’t want, and you have to provide supporting equipment for this junk.

It's better to buy an empty shell and come back and do whatever you want. Even though the aircraft carrier looks rusty, it actually has no impact at all.

"When we don't want it here, then this aircraft carrier will most likely become scrap in the end. At that time, I will report to the superiors and say that you personally want to buy it. This may save a lot of money." Sun Aiguo's little calculation The sound was very loud.

Because Sun Aiguo has regarded this aircraft carrier as a teaching material for motorcycle factories and universities, and it will be the only one in universities around the world in the future.

As for whether I can buy it, there is basically no problem. The dealer will definitely cooperate happily.

"I listen to you, the factory director." Liu Hai actually didn't care in his heart. He bought this aircraft carrier mainly for his future development in aircraft carriers.

To be precise, it's just an excuse.

"Let's keep some things secret first. The more people who know, the greater the chance of leaks."

"As we have more and more overt contacts with Western countries, we should be even more cautious when it comes to confidentiality."

"I believe that after May, there will be more and more foreigners here in Kyoto." Sun Aiguo said another aspect.

Liu Hai nodded. There was nothing we could do about it. After all, there were many people in China and many relatives abroad.

In the early days, some Western institutions targeted us international students, using various means to slander and frame our international students, and then used this to blackmail others into providing services to them.

Many of our international students stumbled upon this. Later, international students from a certain country in the Middle East even refused to allow others to study abroad because they refused to serve certain institutions in Bald Eagle.

To be precise, this international student has been studying in the school there for more than a year, and he was attracted by some organizations in Baitouyin and asked this international student to serve them.

As a result, if this international student does not serve them, he will no longer be able to study abroad at Bald Eagle.

Don't talk about academic freedom. Universities in each country serve their own country.

Historically, many of our scientists went out to participate in so-called academic exchanges, and then something unexpected happened.

These academic exchange conferences are sometimes a trap in themselves.

There are even some international students with excellent academic performance who do not want to stay abroad and develop, and then something will happen later.

"Director, your concerns are very reasonable. In the future, I think it is best for these senior technicians in our factory not to go abroad." Liu Hai came up with an idea by the way.

Sun Aiguo sighed: "I can't control this. I can only remind them as much as possible, and many foreign technologies are more advanced than ours."

"Sometimes you have to take risks. Some scientists even know that there may be danger, but they still go there."

Liu Hai could only nod his head when he heard this. There were some things he could only mention.

"It shouldn't be a big problem for people from our factory to leave, but it's really not possible. I asked Mr. Huo to take care of him secretly. Mr. Huo has great influence in some aspects of the world." Sun Aiguo said again.

"Director, this is the general structure of the armed helicopter and related software requirements." Liu Hai took out a rendering of the armed helicopter and a rough outline design.

Sun Aiguo looked at the renderings of Liu Hai and fell in love with it at first sight.

"I refer to the Bald Eagle Cobra helicopter gunship for this one." Liu Hai said without hesitation, who did he refer to for this weapon and equipment?

Sun Aiguo is now looking carefully at the renderings of the armed helicopter, which are divided into front and side views.

Each part of the weapon system above is marked, including fire control radar, weather radar, passive radar, anti-tank missiles, rockets, cannons, decoys, smoke bombs, etc.

"What about the hardware facilities of this aircraft?" Sun Aiguo liked our own armed helicopter at first sight and asked.

"It uses the engine and power system of a general-purpose helicopter, which puts less pressure on our logistics and maintenance." Liu Hai directly admitted that this is the shell-changing method.

"That's good. I think back when we were in the Peninsular War, repairing cars was literally killing people. At that time, we had Big Brother's cars, Santoku's cars, Bald Eagle's cars, and Little Book's cars."

"Many times we need to process screws and other parts on site when we repair the car."

"Many times there is no way to repair it at all, because the previous person who repaired the car would use various methods to repair it. Sometimes it would just be welded to death. It would be too much trouble for us to take over the repair later."

"Like the cars we produce now, it only takes ten minutes to change a tire."

"It takes less time to change tires in the army. As long as they are car tire screws, these are basically universal." Sun Aiguo used to repair cars as a soldier.

When Liu Hai thought of the scene Sun Aiguo talked about, his scalp went numb. He didn't know how awesome our logistics system was at that time.

"There is recent news from Third Brother that the aircraft manufacturing factory supported by Big Brother has also suspended operations."

"It is said that the local feudal state also had conflicts with the government and killed several people from the government. The local farmers burned all the cars in which people from the government were riding." Sun Aiguo received another piece of news. .

"The landlords on Third Brother's side will never allow themselves to lose their tenants. Their tenants are not only cheap labor for the landlords, but also their votes." Liu Hai has never paid much attention to our neighbor next door.

The members of the third brother's side are basically a family system, because the votes are in the hands of the landlord class. Although the farmers also have votes, these farmers will vote for a certain person as soon as the landlord opens his mouth.

This is also the biggest reason why many factories cannot operate there.

Of course there are more reasons. Land privatization is also another reason. Some of the landowners over there have their own armed forces, and as soon as the landlord over there opens his mouth, his peasants will besiege others.

"Big Brother has provided more than 10 billion rubles in aid, but it looks like it will be in vain again. The car manufacturers on the Bald Eagle side are smart. Seeing that the situation is not right, they have already abandoned the half-finished project and ran away."

"And it is said that the third brother is now seeking compensation from several manufacturers of Bald Eagle, asking them to restore the original appearance of the land and compensate for the losses of the land over the years." The more Sun Aiguo knows now, the more he knows about the character of our next door neighbor. More and more speechless.
