Chapter 869 The Beast Mounts J-11B
“Forget it… Let's not talk about Er Mao's matter for now.”
Chang Haonan waved his hands and decided not to think about the things he couldn't change for the time being, but to change the topic in a real sense:
“When we met before, I told you that if there was a chance, we could try to build a transportation line to the Levant region on the east coast of the Mediterranean. Are there any plans for this?”
"Um…"
Wu Yifan lowered his head and played with the tea cup in his hand. After pondering for a moment, he replied:
“I can't say.”
Chang Haonan did not speak, but looked at the other party with questioning eyes—
What does this hard to say mean?
“In the past few months, I have already figured out a route. From the South Caucasus, usually Sukhumi in Abkhazia, I fly directly to Syria in the name of cargo. In this way, I only need to clear the relationship between the two ends.”
Lao Wu replied:
"As a result, in the past few months, the situation in Damascus has been more complicated, and the relationships I had established before were all in disarray...especially the group of people responsible for entry and exit approval procedures, who have been replaced from top to bottom. Thanks to my vigilance, I'm very sexy. Last month I took a trip with completely legal cargo, but someone almost turned the cargo hold upside down..."
Chang Haonan roughly recalled that the summer and autumn of 2000 should have happened to be the transition period when Hafez died but Bashar had not yet fully taken over.
Chaos is normal.
The latter learned a lot of Western things when he was young. At this time, he was still in a relatively imaginative stage, so many of his policies after coming to power were quite different from his father's.
It can be handed over smoothly without fighting, which is already very good.
“It's right to be more vigilant.”
Chang Haonan nodded:
“Things will be smooth when things go slowly, and people will be safe when they are slow. This matter is originally a long-term plan, and it is relatively sensitive. We must ensure the safety of the route to the greatest extent.”
Of course Lao Wu understands this, but the feeling of missing the mark but falling short is still very bad:
"The main problem now is that the border between the three countries of Iraq, Syria and Turkey is a large mountainous area, which should have been an ideal smuggling channel, but neither Baghdad, Ankara nor Damascus can control this place. There are many Kurdish armed forces in the mountains. I have inquired through many lines, but I can't find a reliable way.”
“Even the American officer I know told me that the supplies they sent to a group of Kurdish armed forces were robbed by another group on the way..."
Listening to the other party's complaints, Chang Haonan also showed a helpless expression.
This kind of force that is still in a tribal nature, if they can't find a person with enough prestige within them, then there is no hope for outsiders.
Especially, the Ku people themselves are not yet a “nation” in the traditional concept, but are closer to a group of people with complex origins and similar living customs.
That would be even more troublesome.
“Would it be better to avoid that place or avoid it…”
He had no choice but to suggest:
“Either you can see if you can take the Caspian Sea and the passage left by the ancient Silk Road, or if you have contact with the EU now, you can try taking the Mediterranean sea shipping, but the latter one may be too difficult for Europeans to do. The Lion speaks loudly."
Smuggling under the cover of "humanitarian relief supplies" is a traditional European art, but compared to Eastern Europe and the Middle East, which can fool people with just a few dollars or even supplies, Old Europe's appetite is much greater.
Although Chang Haonan's support for Wu Yifan's becoming an official was not for profit, the latter still wanted to make money by taking risks to do such things.
“Let's take a closer look at the situation after I return to Ermao…”
After speaking, Wu Yifan picked up the cup and drank the wine in one gulp.
After meeting Wu Yifan, Chang Haonan stayed in the capital for about a week in order to wait for Zhuang Bingchang to arrive.
Mainly emphasizing to the latter that this project involves many participants, and except for the experimental field in Mongolia Province, others such as Beihang University, China National Space Administration, and Institute of Geology and Geophysics are basically all in Beijing.
So firstly, try not to make any job transfers before the project is completed, and secondly, after the research officially starts, you may have to stay in the capital.
The latter was just regarded as a normal work requirement, so I agreed without much thought.
It can be regarded as resolving a piece of Chang Haonan's heartache—
His experience since his rebirth has shown that there is no fatalism in this worldview, that is, multiple routes will lead to the same result as in the previous life.
So as long as Zhuang Bingchang can be kept in the capital, there is a high probability that there is no need to worry about his safety.
Of course, in the final analysis, this is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution.
He can manage one Zhuang Bingchang, but not a hundred or a thousand.
In the final analysis, we still need to improve the overall public security level...
With these thoughts in mind, Chang Haonan put Zhuang Bingchang on the plane back to Ji Province, turned around and flew to Shengjing himself.
Although the aviation power and aviation industries are now separated at the project level, after all, whether the aviation engine leaves the aircraft or the aircraft does not have the aviation engine, it will not reach the sky.
The business relationship between the two parties is still quite close.
What's more, when the Turbofan 10 project was established, it was still the period of the head office, which resulted in a considerable number of project team members now working in the Aviation Industry Group, especially the 112 Factory and 601 Research Institute, which are responsible for the development of the J-11WS demonstrator platform. Therefore, although it was the design finalization appraisal of Turbofan 10, the launching ceremony was held at Factory 112.
Chang Haonan, as the chief engineer and representative of the Aerospace Power Group, personally announced on the stage that the national appraisal process has officially begun.
The background is the two J-11WS parked head-to-head.
In the next few months, they, as well as another trial production batch of J-11B mass-produced aircraft, will fly all over China with the appraisal team of the Air Force and the General Armament Department.
Three aircraft and six engines are operated at the same time in order to increase efficiency as much as possible.
Otherwise, the extreme weather test alone would probably take half a year.
As for why there are only two airplanes in the background…
After Chang Haonan announced the start, the last step of the launch ceremony was the flight performance of the J-11B with the production batch number 00-01.
Moreover, it's not just an ordinary flight show…
As the sharp roar of the engine sounded, the crowd on the tarmac that was originally watching Chang Haonan turned around—
At the end of the runway in the distance, a fighter jet painted in air force gray appeared at some point, slowly accelerating and preparing to take off.
For most people who have never seen the J-11B take off after being replaced with a turbofan 10A, this scene does not seem to be unusual.
But Chang Haonan could see that the acceleration of the plane was a bit low.
Even lower than the original Su-27SK.
This is obviously not normal.
Sure enough, an aircraft that normally only needs less than one-fifth of the length of the runway to take off slowly used up nearly half of the runway length before slowly raising its head.
And the movement is very gentle.
It's okay for pilots flying passenger planes to fly like this, but few fighter pilots have this style.
but…
As the plane gradually got closer, the crowd watching also let out bursts of exclamations—
From the angle of the ceremony venue, it can be clearly seen that the wings and bottom of the fuselage of this J-11B have almost been filled with all kinds of ammunition!
Quite a few of them, even the air force members in the crowd have not seen them completely.
"I go…"
Chang Haonan put his hand above his eyebrows and looked at the J-11B that was climbing in the distance with a look of shock.
He can naturally recognize all ammunition models.
On the wingtips and the two outermost pylons of the wing are four PL8 short-range air-to-air bombs.
The two pylons slightly inside are hung with 4 Pili 12 air-to-air bombs that have not yet been formally finalized in the form of double pylons.
At the innermost side of the wing and in the center of the belly are four huge KAB1500KR TV-guided bombs.
Finally, also under the air inlet, there are two missiles similar in appearance to the R33, but I can't tell whether they are the original R33 or the prototype of the Thunderbolt 13...
A rough calculation shows that the total load is about 8.2 tons.
This mounting method will directly turn the aircraft into a brick, which of course has no practical significance.
But it is the simplest and crudest way to demonstrate performance.
Until the plane gradually disappeared from sight, Chang Haonan said to Liu Gaozhuo who was sitting next to him:
“You guys went to the extreme this time…”
Different from the two J-11WS, the J-11B of the 00 batch is an aircraft belonging to Project 11. Its participation in the identification of the turbofan 10A is only a secondary purpose. The main purpose is to accumulate flight data under extreme conditions for the J-11B itself.
So the specific flight arrangements were made by Factory 112, and Chang Haonan only knew the general situation.
This time I was also shocked.
The original Su-27SK only has a theoretical bomb load of about 6 tons, but because it cannot use precision-guided weapons for the ground, there is actually no chance to use up these 6 tons.
But the J-11B/Su-27SM are serious multi-role fighter jets.
At this time, Liu Gaozhuo's attention was focused on the crowd in front of him. Looking at their reactions, he showed a smile that showed he had everything under control:
“Fortunately, what we have tested before is completely within the capabilities of the new model.”
“Besides, doesn't this also mean that the performance of the power system is good...”
