"Aren't fighter jet engines also man-made? Aren't American and Russian scientists human?"
Dean Miao slapped his forehead; Su Lin was right.
But this aircraft engine is the crown jewel of industrial manufacturing.
Europe and America have also accumulated and improved upon this over decades.
Currently, the only countries capable of independently manufacturing aircraft engines...
There are only five: Britain, the United States, France, Russia, and China.
However, China's turbofan series engines excel in power, range, and lifespan.
It's even inferior to products that have been phased out by other countries.
Upgrading is not as simple as it sounds.
"Brother, Principal Su, I've already called you brother, so please don't cause any more trouble."
Now that it has happened, I'll write a thorough self-criticism, and that will be the end of it.
If this really causes a mess, what will become of the JX-10 series project?
I don't have enough heads to handle this!
Seeing Dean Miao and Su Lin whispering to each other,
Commander Tang slammed his hand on the table.
"What are you talking about? Be serious, say what you have to say in front of everyone!"
"Commander Tang, Principal Su may not be fully aware of the difficulties in developing aircraft engines."
I'll explain it to him.
Dean Miao pressed down hard on Su Lin's thigh, signaling Su Lin not to cause trouble.
Commander Tang looked at Su Lin.
"Yes, Dean Miao explained it very clearly. I think this is a great opportunity for us to conduct independent research and development!"
"A good opportunity? Principal Su, the project is about to be put on hold, and you're telling me it's a good opportunity?"
"Without the Russian experts, let alone upgrading, it's questionable whether our WS-6 turbofan engine can even continue mass production!"
"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one experiencing it. If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself?"
"A layman would laugh at this, Dean Miao. Control your staff; this meeting is not a game."
If we can't come up with a solution today, who will be responsible for all these project delays?!
Su Lin couldn't directly claim that he could develop an engine for a fifth-generation fighter jet.
Even if you have the blueprints, the technology, and the team,
The research and development costs, as well as the production costs, are beyond what Lanxiang Vocational School can afford.
I only have 1 billion yuan in funds on hand right now.
"President Yang, your Shenlong Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. can be considered a leader in China's aviation industry."
"If we don't develop it ourselves, then what do you suggest we do?"
"What else can we do? We can only follow the orders from above!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Commander Tang staring intently at him.
Realizing you've said something wrong, isn't that just shifting the blame to your boss?
"Of course, Shenlong Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. will also do its best to develop a new generation of aero engines."
"Right, Director Zhou?"
Quickly drag Director Zhou into taking the blame as well.
"Director Zhou, if your China Aerospace Research Institute joins forces with Shenlong Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. to conduct full research and development..."
How long will it take approximately?
Director Zhou looked at General Manager Yang.
General Manager Yang looked at Director Zhou.
Neither of them dared to speak.
"Within three years, we are confident that we can develop an aero engine suitable for our third-generation fighter jets!"
"Three years? The Americans' fifth-generation fighters are already in service. You might as well say thirty years?"
Su Lin got up, wanting to leave. He was getting sick of this kind of meeting.
"Principal Su, what do you think about our ability to develop the aero engine for our third-generation fighter jet?"
How long will it take?
China cannot wait that long, three years.
Commander Tang looked at Su Lin.
"That depends on how much research and development funding we have. We can only do so much with the money we have!"
"Funding is not a problem, just name your price!"
Su Lin recalled that China later developed the WS-15 turbofan engine to solve the engine problems of the later J-20 series.
A total of approximately 900 billion yuan was invested.
He also plans to directly develop the WS-15 series turbofan engine.
The F-22 in the US first flew in 1997.
To gain global air superiority, we must outpace the F-22 and expedite the development of the J-20 series.
However, the country's annual fiscal revenue is currently less than 500 billion yuan.
We can only say that the number is just a token gesture.
Su Lin raised a finger.
"One hundred billion??? Principal Su, you must be joking!"
You are aware of our current domestic economic situation.
It's impossible to allocate such a large amount of funds just for the engine of a third-generation fighter jet!
And it happened in less than a year!
Before the Russian experts withdrew,
The approved funding for the development of the entire third-generation fighter jet, codenamed JS-10, was 60 billion yuan.
Even if Su Lin's research and development time can be significantly shortened, the national treasury will still be emptied of 100 billion yuan.
"Principal Su, who do you take your Lanxiang Vocational School for? Asking around 100 billion???"
"Do you have R&D experience? You think you can just throw money at aircraft engines? Young man! Ha!"
"If you really develop it, everyone will chip in 100 billion to help you."
Seeing Su Lin's nonchalant and confident demeanor,
It's worth noting that the Chinese Type 90-II main battle tank was also a copy of the Russian T-90 main battle tank.
With the technical support of Sulin Lanxiang Technical School, they directly swept through the world's top main battle tanks.
Could Su Lin really be capable of developing aircraft engines?
"Principal Su, are you serious? Aren't you confident?"
Now Su Lin has become Dean Miao's lifeline.
All the Russian scientists have gone back to their homeland to find their mothers.
