Chapter 516: Too Leading to Evaluate (First Update)

"Length 19.76 meters."

"The rotor diameter is 16.36 meters."

"Height 4.05 meters."

"Empty weight is 4.5 tons."

"The fully loaded take-off weight is 9.5 tons."

"Equipped with two turboshaft engines with a power of more than 1100 kilowatts."

Three Yutong engineers, Charles, Pierre, and Nicola, automatically filtered other introductions to this helicopter in their minds.

Every time the accompanying introducer said a number, it was like a sledgehammer hitting the three people's brains and then their hearts.

The maximum flight speed is close to 400 kilometers per hour, and the combat radius is close to 600 kilometers.

The flight altitude is nearly 6 kilometers.

The three of them were now listening to the entourage introducing the data while looking at the big guy carefully.

This is much larger than the aircraft produced by our own country, and judging from the manufacturing process of the aircraft, it is no weaker than those produced by our own country.

Can you imagine how much ammunition this helicopter would carry if converted into an armed helicopter?

The three of them were very shocked and had many questions in their minds.

It all comes together in one sentence: How did they do it?

The three of them got on the helicopter and had a great experience.

Moreover, more than a dozen people got on board midway, and the entire plane including three people was crammed with 20 people.

When the three Pierres saw that the plane was full, like 20 people crammed into a can of sardines, their faces turned green.

The Black Hawk helicopter can carry 20 people in an emergency, but combat needs generally do not allow this.

Although there are many people on board, the losses will be huge if something happens.

The three Nikolas were green-faced because they didn't expect that this helicopter could actually hold so many people.

This is equivalent to two infantry squads.

"This helicopter is exactly what our Gallic Chicken Republic needs most." The three of them already had an idea in their hearts. In fact, the whole of Europe is now afraid of fat bears.

Moreover, Fat Bear is about to reach its peak of national strength at this time, and is constantly expanding its three-in-one nuclear strike force.

And just last year, Fat Bear successfully made its first flight of the Tu-22m bomber.

This is Fat Bear's first supersonic long-range bomber, which can reach the head of the Gallic chicken with just a kick of the throttle.

Because now Sandoku is still divided into two, Fat Bear really wants to start from Sandoku, and it really comes in a swish.

Since Brother Li introduced Pierre to the three of them, he has not made any more introductions.

The main purpose is to let three people experience the performance of this helicopter.

The three Pierres experienced it for a full three hours, and they left with unfulfilled feelings.

The three Nikolas came to the front station, mainly to evaluate the cooperation of the armed helicopters.

Although the three of them did not know the specific manufacturing unit of this helicopter, nor did they know the specific internal structure, the three-hour experience was enough for the three of them to make an assessment.

The three of them returned to their place of residence, and Nicholas and the other three were in the living room inside the room.

"If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that they could actually build a helicopter with such excellent performance."

"This helicopter is already ahead of us."

"But I think their cockpit still has many shortcomings in terms of software."

"That's probably why they approached us to work with them."

"I think we should cooperate with them. The performance of this helicopter can be modified into many models."

"Then write the evaluation report. We will report it immediately after finishing it."

"We also need helicopters like this. Fat Bear has become more and more powerful in recent years. Don't forget that they are only 1000 kilometers away from us."

"They have a lot of talents here, and their log production technology has reached the world's leading level."

"Yes, we were shocked when we saw the photos in the newspapers a few years ago."

The three of them wrote the report overnight and then sent someone to send it back to the country.

The reports of the three people were sent directly back via a special plane because this time the matter was too big.

After receiving this report, Gaul Chicken's country quickly dispatched a team, which included not only officials specializing in cooperation negotiations, but also military officials.

The standard of the reception this time was relatively high. When the military officials arrived, they directly requested to visit our most advanced transport helicopter.

After experiencing it for three hours, the military officials burst out laughing.

You must know that although the land area of ​​Gallic Chicken seems small, the entire sphere of influence is very large. After all, the West African Emperor is not just talking about it.

The Supreme Emperor did not rely on deception, but relied on strong military power to maintain his power.

Brother Li has been very busy recently. On the one hand, he has to contact engineers like Pierre, and on the other hand, he has to contact Liu Hai.

Because in the future, the liaison person for specific cooperation between the two parties will be Brother Li.

As a non-helicopter professional, to be this liaison officer, you have to learn a lot of things, at least to understand the terms and what they refer to.

The superior department held secret talks with senior officials sent by Gaul Chicken.

The basis of the negotiation is the evaluation of the technical personnel of both parties.

The Gallic military wants to introduce our transport helicopters.

"I'm sorry, we will not export this transport aircraft for the time being. You also know that our huge homeland defense requires many such transport helicopters." When the negotiator from the superior department heard that Gaul Chicken wanted to import our transport helicopters, he directly refused. .

"We can help the other party improve the software performance of the transport aircraft, such as weather radar and night vision systems." The representative of Gallic Chicken said based on the evaluation of his subordinates.

"No, we are studying the things you are talking about. What we are talking about now are armed helicopters." The representative from the higher-level department shook his head and said.

"Do you mean to convert the transport helicopter into an armed helicopter?" The representative from Gallic Chicken was a little dumbfounded.

"We haven't said anything about using transport aircraft to convert armed helicopters?" "Our cooperation with you is to develop professional armed helicopters. We have completed the design of the hardware, but there are some shortcomings in the software, mainly in the miniaturization of radars and anti-tank missiles. ….”

"Gentlemen, it seems that there are still some misunderstandings. I think you should understand it clearly before negotiating." The representative of the superior department did not expect that the two sides had been talking for a long time, but they actually talked about different things.

The representative from Gallic Chicken was also a little stunned after hearing this.

Brother Li came this time with a roll of drawings, and he was still a little uneasy. After all, it was his first time to explain armed helicopters to foreign engineers and military personnel.

The three of them, Charles, were even more shocked. They originally thought it was a transport helicopter converted into an armed helicopter.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually wanted to build a professional armed helicopter.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry that there was a misunderstanding during the previous communication. The last time you experienced it was our professional general transport helicopter." After Brother Li entered the conference room, he first apologized.

"Lee, it's not your fault," Charles said.

Pierre had already seen the roll of drawings brought by Brother Li and said impatiently: "Li, please open the surprise you brought us."

Brother Li nodded: "Okay then."

"What you see below is our sincerity for this cooperation, an armed helicopter with very powerful professional performance." Brother Li unfolded the drawings in his hand and hung them on the wall as he spoke.

This is actually a rendering without any specific parameters. It just labels certain parts in French.

For cooperation, there is nothing that needs to be kept secret.

Even if the transport plane in front allowed these people to experience it, there would be no leaks. After all, the entire helicopter is composed of many parts, most of which are inside the body and cannot be seen by human eyes.

The Gallic Chicken military personnel and Charles looked at this picture carefully with their eyes wide open.

"The performance of our armed helicopter is very advanced. We are working with the other party to upgrade our radar and fire control system, as well as the ammunition system." Brother Li used the word "upgrade" when he spoke here.

The subconscious expression of these two words means that we have a related system, but the performance is not very good.

The deeper meaning is that if you don't cooperate, we will be of use.

"You have a long-standing good relationship with us, coupled with your important influence in Europe, so we choose to cooperate with you to improve the performance of the entire armed helicopter." Brother Li is not a technical person. People, more from a political level, because there are also people from the Gallic chicken military here.

The military people are fascinated by this. In front of professional armed helicopters, the armed helicopter converted from a transport helicopter is a younger brother.

When people in the military saw this helicopter, they had only two words in their minds: I want it!

The three Charles people looked at the professional renderings of armed helicopters, and their minds were buzzing.

This armed helicopter can be called a real armed helicopter.

Liu Hai did a little trick when drawing this rendering, which was to draw all the loaded items.

There are two rocket nests and so many missiles hanging there.

Brother Li has been waiting for a long time and hasn't seen Charles or the other three. What's your opinion?

So he asked curiously: "Do the three gentlemen have any opinions?"

Charles shrugged sheepishly: "This armed helicopter has exceeded the scope of our assessment."

Pierre also nodded: "On the one hand, we have not seen the specific drawings. On the other hand, our research on professional armed helicopters may be further behind than yours."

"It's not impossible, it must be behind you. Even your transport helicopters are more advanced in technology than ours." Nikolai also said.

The military representative asked at this time: "Li, has the design of this helicopter been completed?"

"The hardware design has been completed and manufacturing has begun, so if you want to cooperate, you must reach an agreement as soon as possible." Brother Li nodded.

After hearing this, the military couldn't wait to get the representatives coming this time to promote cooperation as soon as possible.

After all, armed helicopters are so needed.

With this meeting, the representatives from Gallic Chicken quickly reached cooperation with the representatives here.

That is, Gaul Chicken develops part of the software system of the armed helicopter based on the data requirements we provide.

The hardware aspect is left to us. In the later stage, we will provide Gaul Chicken with related accessories for armed helicopters at cost price. Gaul Chicken will also provide us with the software system of armed helicopters, including supporting ammunition, at cost price.

Liu Hai was listening to Brother Li reporting this matter.

"Gong Liu, you didn't see it. When I took out this drawing, the engineers at Gallic Chicken were dumbfounded. They couldn't put forward any opinions at all."

"The people in the military are drooling at the thought of saying I want it."

"So the two parties happily reached a cooperation agreement. We have handed them the software and system parameters needed for the aircraft." Brother Li said with excitement, not at all serious like at the beginning.

"That's good!" Liu Hai nodded. Such cooperation also has advantages, that is, we might be able to sell our helicopters to the world in the future.

"I just don't know if Bald Eagle will be blamed for plagiarism in the future!" Liu Hai had another thought in his mind.

"And they are also asking us to buy general transport aircraft, and they are very urgent." Brother Li said again.

"And the price is very high."

Liu Hai nodded when he heard this: "Let's equip ourselves first. After we complete the equipment, we can sell it to them."

"I guess not. When they see such a good thing, they will definitely come up with some of the technology we need in exchange. Their military people see that our helicopter can carry 20 people."

"Their geopolitical environment determines that they need a helicopter with more powerful performance, whether in Europe or Africa." Brother Li has a clearer view of this aspect.

"The mass production of the aluminum alloy model is not a big problem, but the mass production of the titanium alloy model is a bit slow. It is expected to start mass production in two months." Liu Hai said.

"Two months is not a long time. Even if they want to negotiate for our transport helicopter, it will take at least more than half a year. Then if we delay it a little longer, we can sell part of it to them." Brother Li said again.

Of course Liu Hai knew that this was not Brother Li's original intention, but the intention of the superior department.

"I don't have any objections here. The prototype of my armed helicopter will probably be out in half a year." It is a shell-changing method in itself, and the difficulty of the design itself is not very high.

In terms of the powertrain transmission system, not much changes are needed.

The software, radar ammunition and systems are made by Gallic chickens.

Bangs only need to design the entire shape. Although theoretically, the overall frame structure and shape design require a huge amount of calculations, bangs do not need it at all. They just need to hold a ruler and point it at the helicopter in the aircraft carrier space.

Of course this is a metaphor, because there is a maintenance manual in bangs hand, it is above it.

For others to design a frame, it may require a team of dozens of people to calculate and design for several months, because the frame of the helicopter is related to the stability of the entire helicopter.

But for bangs, just copy it and it’s over. What’s the point of calculating it?

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what our armed helicopters will look like when the West sees them." Brother Li still has a hard time forgetting the renderings he showed and the surprised expressions of the Gallic military and helicopter factory representatives.
