"If the experts leave, the technology is gone. We haven't even produced our first nuclear submarine yet."
This blow is devastating!
The North China Electronics Research Institute and Shipyard 3028 were responsible for the research and manufacturing of China's first nuclear submarine.
It can be said that without the technical support of the Russians,
The North China Electronics Research Institute and Shipyard 3028 are incapable of building nuclear submarines.
Very few experts have ever seen a nuclear submarine!
"Director Zhou, what are your thoughts? How is the JX-10 series progressing?"
From the beginning of the meeting, Zhou Xiangyang pretended to be invisible.
It's not that the withdrawal of Russian experts had little impact on the China Aerospace Research Institute.
However, he and General Miao Lihua were old comrades-in-arms.
Now everyone is venting their anger on Lao Miao, and as his old comrade-in-arms, he feels...
To kick someone when they're down is utterly unethical.
Unfortunately, you can hide from the first day of the month, but not the fifteenth.
And this includes nuclear submarines, aerospace, and more.
The most pressing project at present is the development of the JX-10 series fighter jets.
Other projects are scheduled for another three to five years.
The JX-10 must successfully complete its maiden flight by the end of this year.
The patrol tasks in the waters surrounding China are extremely challenging.
The US has already started developing the fifth-generation fighter jet, the F-22.
If we can't even develop a third-generation fighter jet,
Does this mean we'll be getting bullied by the Americans from now on?
Zhou Xiangyang glanced at Lao Miao,
Old Miao's face remained expressionless. Commander Tang was sitting right next to Miao Lihua.
They really didn't dare to move an inch.
"The situation is not optimistic!"
"Not optimistic? I need a precise timeframe: can the maiden flight be completed by the end of this year?"
Director Zhou, this is our main model for the next ten years.
Not only the Air Force, but also the Army, Navy, and carrier-based aircraft will have this type of aircraft.
If something goes wrong with the JX-10 project, you should know the consequences, right?
"I understand, I understand. We can work harder on everything else, but once the Russian expert leaves..."
We can no longer copy the Russian turbofan engine.
It will take at least 3 to 5 years to develop independently!
"Three to five years???"
Upon hearing Director Zhou Xiangyang's words, Commander Tang, who had been very calm throughout,
He instantly became extremely irritable.
Other projects can wait, but the JX-10 series fighter jets cannot!
"However, we can also choose to import engines from the Russians."
Other components include electronic control systems, radar, communication systems, fire control systems, and the design of the airframe.
We've got it pretty much figured out!
"Director Zhou, did you waste your time at the meeting? Now even the experts aren't giving us anything."
You're still thinking about buying an engine?
Yang Jianjun, the head of Shenlong Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd., smirked.
Full of disdain,
In fact, the China Aerospace Research Institute and Shenlong Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. have a deep cooperative relationship.
The two men used similar engine technologies.
Yang Jianjun could tell at a glance that Zhou Xiangyang was trying to protect Miao Lihua.
The development of the engine has clearly stopped.
This essentially means that the JX-10 series fighter jet project has been abandoned in the aerospace field.
"Ultimately, we shouldn't have angered the Russians. We're still in the early stages of development."
Even if the conditions they propose are unreasonable, we must prioritize the overall situation!
"Now look how awesome it is! God of Land Warfare, World Tank Championship winner, how impressive is that, right?"
The result? The Navy and Air Force got completely thrashed!
"Just apologize to the other person first. If it's truly beyond repair, even a miracle won't save you!"
Now everyone is speaking openly.
The other officers present also disregarded Dean Miao's authority.
They started attacking Miao Lihua directly.
The entire meeting was shrouded in gloom.
"Director Zhou, the engine you're talking about is the Russian-made AL-31F engine, right?"
As a military enthusiast, Su Lin certainly knew this.
This is the engine used on the Su-27 fighter jet.
The maximum afterburning thrust can reach 122 kN.
"Who is this???"
The design data for the JX-10 series fighter jets is top secret.
Seeing that Su Lin wasn't wearing a uniform either,
They are unlikely to be internal staff of the Fifth Research Institute.
How could you know the engine model used in the JX-10 series?
"This is Principal Su of Lanxiang Vocational College!"
"A college principal? Director Miao, you want to promote someone and build connections, and you're doing it at a meeting like this?"
"Old Miao, this JX-10 series is top secret, and we're about to have its maiden flight."
"I only just found out the specifics. How did this kid know?"
Commander Tang also turned to look at Miao Lihua.
Information leaks are a serious crime.
"Principal Su, I'm getting old and about to retire, please don't try to trick me. How do you know it's using the AL-31F engine?"
Old Miao felt incredibly wronged. This year, the entire research institute had focused on upgrading the Huaxia Type 90-II main battle tank.
Even they themselves didn't know the model of the engine used in the JX-10.
How could Su Lin know?
"I'm just guessing. The Su-27 has been flying for over ten years now, so what's the model number of this AL-31F engine?"
It's hardly a secret; any military enthusiast would know it!
