The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 796

Chapter 796: Write it down in a notebook first

Although the plan is already in place, it is not yet time to implement it.

At least not when there are big moves.

First of all, it is already December 1999, and the millennium is approaching. The Davidian garrison in southern Lebanon has basically begun to withdraw, leaving only a ruined puppet regime lingering there. Several other surrounding countries have not completely given up their illusions about the West at this time, and are in a tangled stage of dilemma, with no good focus.

Secondly, although China today is 100 million points stronger than the previous generation, it is still slightly out of reach of places like the east coast of the Mediterranean.

In short, both in terms of needs and means, some further preparations are needed.

In the final analysis, the reason why the Ring Project has reached this stage is mainly because when the agreement was signed, China still maintained its illusions about the West.

Moreover, at that time, the arms business between China and the Kingdom of David had been going on for many years. The introduced Strange Snake air-to-air missiles, as well as the Harpy anti-radiation drones that were under negotiation at the time and later successfully introduced, later also affected China. The development of similar weapons has had a certain positive effect.

Therefore, I think that since the contract has been signed, the "spirit of contract" plus the relationship of "old business partners" should be able to guarantee the normal execution of the terms.

The result can be imagined.

The Western contract spirit is used to bind others, not themselves at all.

By the time Chang Haonan finally made some noise with the Science and Technology Commission and was able to speak, the advance payment and a plane had already been sent.

So all we can do is find a way to wipe our butt.

Of course, the red and black accounts in the small notebook must still be remembered.

Looking at Chang Haonan's uncertain face, Ding Gaoheng could naturally guess what he was thinking.

After all, the latter is someone who has personally experienced the darkest moments from the 1980s to the early 1990s. His perspective on things is definitely different from that of Chang Haonan, who was reborn in the 2020s.

For him, the outcome of the Ring Project is indeed not bad.

At least compared to the Peace Model Project back then, it was much more respectable.

And he didn't suffer much.

After being silent for a while, Ding Gaoheng still spoke:

"Xiao Chang, don't be too angry about this matter. It may not be a bad thing for us to be able to quickly cut through the mess and bring the ring project to an end."

There is nothing wrong with what you say.

As long as the Ring Project exists, it is inevitable that some people will take chances on the Kingdom of David.

As a comprador, there is no bottom line after all.

It would be better to cut off this last thought completely.

After a short pause, he continued:

"The nearly 300 million US dollars recovered, as well as the follow-up funds originally planned to be allocated to the ring project, will be reported to the superiors and invested as much as possible in the subsequent research and development projects of domestic early warning aircraft."

Hearing the news, Chang Haonan's complexion suddenly turned from gloomy to clear.

You know, the budget of the entire ring project is almost 1.2 billion US dollars!

This is 1999 dollars!

Although China helped the EU keep the euro's exchange rate from falling below 1 during Operation Allied Force, making the euro stronger in this timeline than in the previous life, at least for now, the U.S. dollar is still the unquestionable number one in the world. One currency.

1.2 billion US dollars is equivalent to more than 10 billion yuan.

Even if only half of it, 5 billion yuan, is allocated, it is already equivalent to one-third of the manned space project, or more than half of the budget of Turbofan 10.

You must know that the former also includes infrastructure such as railways, launch sites, and measurement and control stations, while the latter includes the research and development of the entire 3.75-generation core machine.

“In this case, it would be best to ask Shanghai Aircraft Corporation to speed up the progress and build the C909 passenger aircraft as soon as possible.”

Chang Haonan thought for a moment and then said:

"Technical demonstrators and prototypes can be built with two Tu-214s and modified one at a time. However, if mass production is to be carried out, it is best to ensure the independence of the platform." In the previous life, the Air Police 2000 only produced 4 aircraft and was forced to replace them. The Yun-9 platform switched to producing the Air Police 500, largely because the number of IL-76s on hand was insufficient and they were all old aircraft. Due to different usage conditions, the conditions of the aircraft varied greatly, and it was almost necessary to tailor-made modification plans for each aircraft.

That kind of sourness makes Chang Haonan's head spin just thinking about it, but he doesn't want to experience it personally.

"no problem"

Now that Ding Gaoheng's money bag has become more bulging, he agreed very simply:

"Next year is the last year of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and we must formulate a development plan for the Tenth Five-Year Plan. At that time, let Hufei mention the priority of C909 and find ways to get some funding. After all, C909 is not a new product. Regarding the aircraft, considering the progress of C808 and Project 11, it should not be delayed for too long.”

Chang Haonan nodded, agreeing with Ding Gaoheng's judgment.

Compared with the jump directly from the 80-ton Y8 to the 220-ton Y20 in the previous generation, adding a 110-ton product transition in the middle is obviously more in line with the general law of the development of the aviation manufacturing industry.

After finishing talking about the serious business, the two chatted for a while.

When it was almost time to get off work, Ding Gaoheng suddenly invited Chang Haonan to have dinner at his house again.

For Chang Haonan, this is indeed a "common meal".

But this time, he looked embarrassed:

“Director Ding, Old Wu returned from Ermao today and has made an appointment with me tonight. It's really…”

If it is a private meeting, then it must be declined.

But meeting with Wu Yifan falls within his business scope, so it will definitely not delay his work.

What's more, because of what happened just now, Chang Haonan also wanted to meet the other party as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Ding Gaoheng waved his hands indifferently:

“That's okay, work matters are more important. Anyway, I have the same meals at home every day. You can just come over another day.”

Because Chang Haonan specially set up two private rooms in the canteen of Torch Group, so this time, he and Wu Yifan no longer need to meet outsiders.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Wu Yifan arrived at Torch Group on time.

When they first met, Chang Haonan almost didn't recognize him.

“Old Wu, your face looks like this…”

Comparing to the meeting at the beginning of the year, Wu Yifan's skin tone has become several shades darker:

“I remember you went to Eastern Europe, not East Africa. Why do you have such a tan?”

“It's not the big job you gave me.”

Lao Wu said as he hung the scarf and coat on the hangers at the door:

"During the hottest period of this summer, I was dusting people in the Balkans for four consecutive months, standing under the sun every day. Is it like this now or did it turn a little grayer after I returned to Ermao? If you had seen me three months earlier, I would have looked like a big African brother..."

　　Although there were complaints on his lips, Lao Wu's expression was still full of joy.

After all, hard work is hard work, but the money earned is real.

For a person with little background like him, there are not many ways to make the first pot of gold.

Besides, a huge change in appearance is not necessarily a bad thing for the nature of Lao Wu's job.

As soon as the two of them sat down and exchanged pleasantries, two waiters came in with a trolley and brought the dishes that had been prepared in advance to the table one by one.

After all, it is our own internal restaurant, and most of the things discussed here are not easy to spread.

If people keep coming in one after another during the meal, even if there is a doorbell at the door to prevent leaks, it will always interrupt the conversation and make people uncomfortable.
