This time, Zhu Dingjun really believed that what Lin Zheming had said when he invited her, that the project could be implemented in three months, was not a lie, but something that was very likely to be achieved.
Wu Tong has already overcome all the most difficult hurdles. She only needs to arrange and deploy the work step by step. This is the easiest part, and any project leader with a little experience can do it. Wu Tong handed the project to her, which was a trust in her ability. She must do it to perfection to live up to this trust.
"I'll go back and make preparations. I'll wait for good news from you, Mr. Wu!" Zhu Dingjun rushed back to the Second Academy of Aeronautical Engineering just as she had arrived. Before starting work on the new project, she had to first clearly explain the DF-16 development tasks at hand.
Judging from the progress on Wu Tong's side, there is no need to suspend the DF-16. It's just that she can't keep guarding the project all the time in the near future. She has to transfer some absolutely reliable team members to carry out the on-site research and development of DF-17. On the DF-16 side, she will temporarily keep some people to advance slowly. Once she has mastered the technology of DF-17, she can also provide feedback to DF-16 and improve the completion quality of the entire project, killing two birds with one stone.
After Zhu Dingjun completed the negotiation, Wu Tong simultaneously called President Hua of Hua Yanxing and entrusted the PL-17 project to her. As they were old acquaintances who had worked together before, Wu Tong had great confidence in President Hua's abilities.
Hua Yanxing had just finished improving the PL-14. Using the PL-15 diffraction technology, she successfully transformed the PL-14 into a heavy-strike medium-range air-to-air missile, which fills the gap between long-range missiles and combat missiles. Now that it has entered service, she has just handed it over.
It's not as powerful as Wu Tong's ability to create a superior air-to-air missile from scratch in just a few months, but her years of experience are not in vain.
She followed Wu Tong to work on the PL-15 project from beginning to end. Whenever she asked questions, Wu Tong explained them in detail. She thoroughly understood the technology of PL-15, obtained Wu Tong's authorization, absorbed the essence and used it on PL-14. Finally, after another year, she finally got it done, and finally did not let Wu Tong down!
"We are in perfect sync, Mr. Wu. I was just about to call you to report the good news when I received your call. Can we be considered to be in perfect sync with each other?" The project was completed, and domestic air-to-air missiles in medium and long distances had made great progress. Hua Yanxing was in a good mood and felt like joking.
"Congratulations, President Hua, the PL-14 has landed successfully!" Wu Tong had sufficient authority, and Hua Yanxing had communicated with Wu Tong before. Therefore, as soon as Hua Yanxing announced the good news, Wu Tong immediately realized that it was the PL-14 that Hua Yanxing was responsible for that had landed.
As expected, as she expected, Hua Yanxing immediately gave a confirmation: "It is indeed Mr. Wu. His reaction ability is also first-class!"
"Just hearing you praising me here makes me feel embarrassed!" Wu Tong smiled and joked, chatting with Hua Yanxing to ease the atmosphere and strengthen their relationship. By the way, he also turned the topic to her purpose of coming: "Boss Hua, I'm sorry to bother you!"
"What do you mean by trouble? Wu Tong, if there is anything you can do with me, just tell me!" Hua Yanxing thought that Wu Tong was looking for her to help with something in Xizhou.
It was rare for Wu Tong to speak up. Honestly, as long as it didn't violate discipline or laws, she was more than happy to help him. She was just wondering how to thank him for his skills and the immense help he provided to their project, achieving predictions she hadn't dared to imagine before. It was rare for Wu Tong to need him! She quickly seized the opportunity. Anyone who wanted to help Wu Tong was gone!
Wu Tong was able to contact her, which showed his absolute trust in her!
"I have some influence in Xizhou. Even if things are difficult, I can find a way to get them done for you!" If it really doesn't work, there is still Lu Xiao in Xizhou. If she can't do it, she can just ask others for help. There is strength in numbers!
"Boss Hua, it's not the trouble you think!" Wu Tong smiled happily with a warm heart. These seniors who loved and cared for her didn't even ask her what the trouble was. They just agreed to take care of it for her. Such care really moved her and made her feel warm.
So, Wu Tong didn't keep the secret and said directly, "The PL-17 ultra-long-range air-to-air missile has a speed of Mach 6 and a range of 800 kilometers. Mr. Hua, I'd like to trouble you to take on the important task of preparing and deploying it. I may have to disturb your happy life just now! Are you willing to accept the supervision of the PL-17 project?"
Although there is more than one research institute on Hua Zong's side that studies air-to-air missiles in China, Wu Tong has a previous cooperative foundation with Hua Zong. She trusts Hua Zong's ability and character the most, and he is also the first person she is willing to entrust. Unless Hua Zong is unwilling, Wu Tong will consider the second candidate.
You could say Wu Tong is partial or not generous enough, but compared to getting in touch with unfamiliar partners again, Wu Tong would definitely prefer to use someone she is familiar with rather than someone new. President Hua's ability is absolutely impeccable, so why would she go far away instead of someone close to her?
"What?" Hua Yanxing seemed to think that she had misheard, but she stopped talking immediately. Who was talking to her? It was Mr. Wu Tong, who had truly developed the PL-15, a beyond-visual-range miniaturized air-to-air missile with a speed of Mach 6 and a range of 300 kilometers right under her nose. Her glorious achievements were still vivid in her mind. She had to take every word Wu Tong said seriously.
"PL-17? Range of 800 kilometers, speed of Mach 6?" Hua Yanxing repeated the most important words she had heard, word for word. These parameters dazzled her, she simply couldn't believe it! If someone else had told her this, she would definitely tell them to go to bed and cover themselves with extra blankets. She dreamed of everything!
However, the one who informed her of this parameter was Wu Tong, which made her heart beat wildly. She was shocked by the astonishing parameter that could be called ascension-level!
"Yes, I'll tell you what I have to say. The J-35 and H-20 have successfully completed their test flights and entered service. It just so happens that I haven't decided on any other topics yet after the New Year, so I've started researching missiles to give our Kunpeng and Canglong another powerful weapon!
The PL-17 R&D and production plan is already in place. I've also completed the material R&D and are currently conducting experimental verification. We expect the technology to be ready within two weeks. Now, I need you to prepare and oversee the project progress. Is that convenient for you?"
"It's convenient, how can it be inconvenient!" Even though he knew that Wu Tong couldn't see it, Hua Yanxing still nodded vigorously.
She was at home at the moment, and her husband, a university professor, saw his wife nodding excitedly with ecstasy. He couldn't help but push his glasses up, wondering with some hesitation whether he should take his wife for another physical examination. Although, his husband had only had the examination two days ago, after the project ended, what if something was wrong in the past two days?
