Chapter 233 It's a Deal

Zhou Yuanliang returned to his unit.

The first thing to do when you come back is to report to Qian Tao.

"Boss, we may all be disappointed. It is basically impossible for us to share the core technology of armed helicopters with Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, even if we entrust Leihuo Technology Industrial Group to help us design and develop the observation/fire control system and radar system of armed helicopters. It's impossible"

He dejectedly reported the situation in more detail.

Qian Tao's face was full of disappointment, and he waved his hands, "I see, it seems that I have to go to Leihuo Technology Industrial Group in person."

Sending Zhou Yuanliang to try it out is just the first step. If it succeeds, that would be the best, but if it fails, he has already figured out the second step.

Leihuo Helicopter Design Institute.

Lin Feng didn't take Zhou Yuanliang's matter too much to heart. He basically stayed in the helicopter design office for the past few days, coming here every morning and returning in the afternoon.

In the huge training classroom, Lin Feng is giving a lecture to everyone. Today he is talking about some design details of the fire control radar of this armed helicopter.

At least a month ago, Lin Feng had already drawn the general design of the fire control radar himself, and it was the first time to systematically explain the design of this radar to everyone. This is the second time to systematically talk about the design of the radar. , more specific, more in-depth.

This is the world's top-level heavy-duty armed helicopter. It is not a name for nothing, but it does have very good performance, such as the performance of the fire control radar is very good.

It can cover a range of 20 kilometers, and scan once every 6 seconds, can simultaneously determine, distinguish and display up to 512 targets, and select 32 primary targets to send to the combat computer.While hitting the target, the fire control radar can also transmit the information of the remaining targets to other helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft.

This is great.

At this time, the Longbow Apache's Longbow fire control radar has a coverage range of only 8 kilometers, and can only distinguish and display 256 targets at most.

This fire control radar enables the helicopter pilot to quickly and automatically search, detect, locate, classify and prioritize multiple moving and stationary targets.

This is definitely the most advanced and best performing fire control radar in the world.

The size of the training classroom is small, and it can only seat about six or no. 70 people, because there are only five or no. 60 people engaged in radar system design and fire control system design.

Who knows, other designers who do not engage in radar design also came after hearing the news. The classroom was full, and even many people stood in the open space behind the classroom.

With such an excellent fire control radar system, this heavy-duty armed helicopter can really see far, shoot far, and shoot accurately.

In addition, there is another feature, that is, "don't care after launch". After the missile is launched from the armed helicopter, it will automatically find and lock the target. target.

This greatly improves the battlefield survivability of the helicopter, because it can leave after launching the missile.

Lin Feng talked about the specific design of this fire control radar for another whole morning. After Lin Feng left, the classroom was full of excitement. Even though everyone knew the performance of this radar, they still felt excited.

"Such an excellent fire control radar, I really hope that it will be developed earlier."

"In the future, I must take a look at how our fire control radar is accurate."

"I originally thought that the Longbow radar was already the pinnacle, but I didn't expect that our fire control radar is much better than the Longbow radar."

"."

Lin Feng did not expect to receive a call from Qian Tao. At this time, just as he walked out of the training room, the phone rang.

"Boss Lin, I'm Qian Tao."

"Director Qian, I didn't expect you to call me. What's the matter?"

Qian Tao said, "Boss Lin, I want to come and visit, is it convenient?"

Lin Feng felt like a mirror in his heart, of course he knew what was going on, and it probably had something to do with their medium armed helicopter.

I heard that the armed helicopter is currently facing a series of technical problems, and there are at least dozens of key technologies waiting to be overcome. The last time it was Zhou Yuanliang who came over, this time it is simply Qian Tao who is going to come in person.

After all, he is the director of Tangtang, and he has already said to come to visit, and his attitude is so low, he can't just refuse.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Feng still said, "Director Qian is too polite, if you want to come and have a seat, you are welcome anytime."

"Mr. Lin, then I will visit your office directly tomorrow, and we will discuss everything in detail after we meet."

After finishing the call, Lin Feng thought in his heart, if Qian Tao continued to mention core technology sharing, how would he decline him politely.

The next day.

Qian Tao arrived as scheduled, knocked on the door and walked into Lin Feng's office. As soon as he entered, he cupped his fists and said, "Boss Lin, excuse me."

Everyone came to the door, Lin Feng certainly couldn't refuse people thousands of miles away, but showed enthusiasm, "Director Qian is polite, what to drink."

The two sat down on the sofa, and after a few polite greetings, Qian Tao mentioned the design of their medium-sized armed helicopter, especially mentioning that the technical difficulties mainly existed in the observation/fire control system and the radar system.

After talking about a series of difficulties, Qian Tao said enviously, "Boss Lin, you are welcome, the design of this heavy-duty armed helicopter is progressing so smoothly."

Lin Feng said, "The design progress is indeed relatively smooth. It is estimated that the overall design work will be completed in another eight to ten months, and the prototype will be able to fly for the first time within two years."

what!
Another eight to ten months to complete the front design!
Also, isn't the first flight of the prototype aircraft within three years? Why is it now the first flight of the prototype aircraft within two years!

Qian Tao said in his heart, in two years, we estimate that these key technical problems that Lian is facing have not been completely overcome, but you have already completed the first flight of the prototype.

After being shocked, Qian Tao said in his heart with admiration, as expected of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, this speed is not ordinary fast, and it cannot be calculated by common sense at all.

"Boss Lin, to be honest, I came here this time to ask for your help."

Lin Feng said, "If it is the sharing of core technology, it is impossible, and I hope you can understand this."

He simply cut to the chase and said it was impossible, cutting off Qian Tao's thoughts.

Qian Tao said, "I am not here to seek the sharing of core technologies, but to ask you to help us design and develop the entire avionics system of this medium-sized armed helicopter, including the guidance and control system, navigation and fire control system, and fire control radar. , observation system."

Lin Feng smiled, and then looked very embarrassed, "Director Qian, you also know that we are currently devoting all our efforts to design and develop this heavy-duty armed helicopter, and we simply have no free time to do this for you."

That's it.
Being rejected by Lin Feng, Qian Tao was clearly disappointed.

Lin Feng noticed his expression, smiled wryly and shook his head, knowing that he was doing it for the improvement of the army's weapons and equipment, not for his own personal affairs.

Do I want to help?

After hesitating for a while, Lin Feng said, "Director Qian, if you are willing to wait a year, I can help you with this."

Hearing this, Qian Tao's eyes lit up, and he said a little excitedly, "How do you say that!"

Lin Feng said, "When we finish the design and development of this heavy-duty armed helicopter, we can cooperate. My plan is for us to design, develop and manufacture the entire avionics system of this medium-sized armed helicopter.

The avionics system includes a wide range, including helicopter control system, navigation system, fire control system, observation system and so on.

"really?"

Qian Tao looked at Lin Feng with a look of surprise, completely thinking that he had heard it wrong, such a big director, unexpectedly pinched his inner thigh quietly with his hands, feeling as if all this was in a dream.

The surprise came so suddenly!
It's only one year, and he is willing to wait, because one year is not too long in his opinion. If they rely on themselves alone, let alone one year, even if it is two years, or even three years, it is estimated that they have not completed this task. The design of an armed helicopter.

Why is Lin Feng suddenly willing to help?

There are two reasons.

First, the design and development of this heavy-duty armed helicopter must have been completed a year later. So many designers are idle, so why not make some extra money and help Qian Tao and the others design and develop the complete set of medium-sized armed helicopters? The avionics system, and the avionics system is manufactured, and the finished product is delivered directly.

What is delivered is the finished product, instead of giving the design drawings to Qian Tao and the others, the core technology will not be leaked, and it can be calculated according to the cost of each set.

Second, because there is no technical difficulty.After experiencing the design and development of this heavy-duty armed helicopter, the designers have basically digested and absorbed the core technology of this heavy-duty armed helicopter. Based on these technologies, the avionics system of this medium-sized armed helicopter has no question.

Seeing Qian Tao looking at him with surprise, Lin Feng nodded and said, "Of course it's true, I'm not joking with you."

Qian Tao said, "That's great, Mr. Lin, thank you so much."

He took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Feng tightly and very excitedly.

Lin Feng smiled happily, "Director Qian, remember, when the time comes, we will purchase the complete avionics system from us, and we will deliver the finished product directly, but the cost will be calculated."

"It's right to calculate the money, very right." Qian Tao agreed with all his heart.

Lin Feng's promise solved the big problem, and the mountain that weighed on Qian Tao's heart was gone. He was in a good mood all of a sudden, and began to talk with Lin Feng, talking about things related to their medium-sized armed helicopter without any shyness.

Through the conversation, Lin Feng also had a much deeper understanding of this medium-sized armed helicopter.Powered by two LH1500 turboshaft engines, the maximum take-off weight will reach 8 tons, and it can carry up to 1.5 tons of weapons and ammunition, etc.

Thanks again and again, Qian Tao got up and said goodbye, and even declined Lin Feng's warm invitation to have dinner before leaving. At this moment, he just wanted to go back, immediately re-divide the work, and immediately start the overall design work.

The avionics system does not need to be designed and developed, and the turboshaft engine is ready-made. The design difficulty of this medium-sized armed helicopter has plummeted, and Qian Tao has unprecedented confidence.

He went back overnight, and as soon as he went to work the next morning, he was immediately notified to go down for a meeting.

A lot of people gradually came into the huge meeting room, basically middle and senior management, design experts and backbones of the helicopter design institute, nearly a hundred people in total.

"What's going on here, I received a meeting notice as soon as I got to work, without any warning."

"I don't know, I came here as soon as I was notified."

"I think it probably has something to do with the design and development of our medium-sized armed helicopter."

"."

The meeting room seemed very noisy, many people were talking with the people next to them, but no one thought about the content of the meeting, only speculated that it might be related to the design and development of this medium-sized armed helicopter.

08:30am.

Qian Tao walked into this conference room on time, followed by Zhou Yuanliang, the chief model engineer.

"what!"

Some careful people found that Director Qian looked good today, even his brows that had been slightly furrowed were completely relaxed, and his spirit seemed to be completely different.

This is how the same thing.

It's totally unscientific.

The current design and development tasks are so heavy, Director Qian should be under a lot of pressure, it shouldn't be like this at all, maybe it's not right when there is a big happy event, even if it is a big happy event, it won't behave like this.

In the eyes of everyone, Qian Tao walked in vigorously, sat down in his seat, and said loudly, "Everyone calm down, and the meeting will start now."

The originally noisy meeting room fell silent. Everyone looked at Director Qian. Some were puzzled, while others were full of curiosity.

Qian Tao said loudly: "The topic of today's meeting is very simple, which is to start the design and development of this medium-sized armed helicopter in an all-round way."

what!
You heard me right! ! !
It actually started a comprehensive design and development work.

Someone reminded, "Boss, we still have dozens of key technologies that have not yet been overcome. Does it seem too impatient to start comprehensive design work now? At least we have to wait for most of the key technologies to be overcome before starting comprehensive design and development work." .”

Who knows, Qian Tao actually smiled happily, looking very relaxed.

"Comrades, today I want to tell you a very exciting and good news. The avionics system of our medium-sized armed helicopter does not need to be developed. Leihuo Technology Industry Group has promised that they will design, develop and manufacture it for them. When the time comes, the helicopter manufacturer will Just purchase finished products from Leihuo Technology Industrial Group."

Quiet!

Incredibly quiet!
Almost everyone looked at Qian Tao blankly, seriously thinking that there was something wrong with their ears, but there is such a good thing, the most technically difficult avionics system does not need to be designed and developed.

As a result, the design and development difficulty of this medium-sized armed helicopter has been directly reduced by two levels, and everyone sitting here is full of confidence.

This means that the most critical and core things don’t need to be designed and developed. Just develop a shell of an armed helicopter, and add at most a weapon system, a deceleration system, and a transmission system, which is much simpler.

boom!
The meeting room suddenly became lively.

"Director, is this real? I feel a little bit like I'm dreaming."

"Great, then we'll have no problems."

"Thanks to Leihuo Industrial Group for helping us, otherwise, we don't know when we will be able to get this medium-sized armed helicopter."

"."

Seeing everyone's huge reaction, Qian Tao smiled happily, and after giving everyone enough time, he raised his hand and pressed down, and said loudly: "I will adjust the division of labor now, and then start the overall design work immediately."

"I want to tell you that Leihuo Technology Industry Group estimates that it will be able to complete the overall design of the heavy-duty armed helicopter in about eight to ten months, and the prototype will fly for the first time within two years. We can't be too late, three years, or four years. The first flight of the prototype should be done within the year."

Suddenly, everyone felt a little pressure again.

At the same time, many people thought in admiration, Leihuo Technology Industrial Group's speed is so fast, it is simply unbelievable.

Qian Tao began to adjust the division of labor, and the overall design of this medium-sized armed helicopter also began.

Leihuo Helicopter Design Institute.

In the static test workshop, some technicians and test personnel were busy, mainly doing some preparation work, because the static test of the whole transport helicopter was about to start, and Li Guangshu, the deputy director, came to the scene in person.

The static test of the whole machine is one of the contents of the structural test. It is used to observe and study the strength, stiffness, stress and deformation distribution of the aircraft structure or components under the static load. means.

The loading system for the full-scale structural static test is independently designed and developed by Leihuo Helicopter Design Institute.The whole set of static test system adopts the electro-hydraulic servo system controlled by electronic computer to automatically close the loop to coordinate loading. collection and processing.

Before the static test of the whole machine, Leihuo Helicopter Design Institute has completed the static test of several main structural components, without exception, all of them passed perfectly at one time.

This time is the static test of the whole machine!

No wonder Li Guangshu went to the site in person to direct the preparations for the static test of the whole machine. These technicians and testers were making preparations in an orderly manner.

Two days later, when all the preparations were basically ready, there was movement outside the static test workshop, and then the gate of the workshop slowly opened, and many people saw that the first verification machine used for the static test of the whole machine had been put into operation. come over.

Under everyone's a little excited eyes, this static test verification machine slowly carried out the static test workshop, and temporarily stopped in the open space in the center of the workshop.

It deeply attracts everyone's attention.

"Wow, our transport helicopter looks really nice."

"Why did I suddenly feel a little excited, and my heartbeat speeded up virtually."

"I really want to take a look at its static test, and hope it can pass it once."

"."

The static test workshop gradually became lively.
