Chapter 217 Qin Tao: Find Time to Retrieve the Information on the MiG-144

Chapter 217 Qin Tao: Take the time to get back the information of MiG 1.44

The winding mountain road, that's it. Liu Dajun drove and went around from there, and suddenly met these people on a narrow road. As for the vehicles in the convoy behind them, they couldn't be seen here at all, and they were blocked by the car body.

Seeing this sudden situation, Ma Laoliu got out of the car immediately, and Qin Tao picked up the walkie-talkie, called, and notified the navy behind.

Someone came to rob our military supplies!

After getting this news, Li Yong was immediately annoyed. He had never seen such a courageous person! Dare to rob important military supplies? The things they transported, even if a piece of paper was lost, would be a serious leak.

So, he immediately led people to the front, and they all picked up their weapons.

"Huh, who are you trying to scare." A person behind Sanbanglou said: "These are just props, what's so scary?"

At this moment, Li Yong had already raised his fire stick to the sky and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang!

Fire was coming out of the pipe mouth, and the sound was deafening. Several people who had served as militiamen in the past immediately recognized it: "Real stuff, real stuff!"

"Don't move, whoever dares to run will be killed!" Li Yong shouted, and rushed over.

These guys didn't dare to move, their legs were already limp with fear, and a fishy smell came out of Sanbanglou's crotch, which was too embarrassing.

"Take out your belts!" Li Yong shouted.

They had practiced using belts to tie people up before, and soon, dozens of people were tied up.

"These people dared to rob our convoy, they must be taken to the Land of Abundance." Qin Tao said: "Hand them over to the relevant departments for interrogation and sentencing."

Li Yong nodded.

"Report to the government, we didn't know it was a military vehicle, we just came out to seek revenge, no, no."

Sanbanglou reacted and shouted that he was wronged.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him. With a bang, he was thrown into the empty tank of the oil tanker like a dead pig.

One, two, these guys were thrown in. What awaits them will be severe punishment by law.

Ma Laoliu returned to the cab and was very excited.

"Boss Qin, I have to thank these soldiers for their help this time." Ma Laoliu said, "In the future, let's see who dares to rob our convoy on this road."

The group of people in Sanbanglou was completely ruined. After the news spread, no one dared to trouble them anymore.

They were just pretending to be powerful, but the effect was absolutely great.

Of course, Ma Laoliu would never know that this was not the first time Qin Tao had done this. He had played the same game with the Russians. They were just a few petty thieves and could be easily dealt with.

After this episode, the convoy continued to move forward and finally drove into the Land of Abundance. After arriving here, the convoy separated, and the navy's vehicle directly entered the 611th Institute. The transportation company's vehicle handed the people over to the relevant departments and continued to deliver goods, waiting to go back to the group.

"I've been looking forward to you for a long time." Seeing the car driving in, Song Lao immediately came out and shook Qin Tao's hand.

"Well, Song Lao, we took the road this time, and it took a little longer." Qin Tao said: "But it's also good to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland along the way."

"Yes." Song Lao said: "I heard that you also encountered heroes who blocked the road on the road."

After leaving the mountain, Qin Tao called and asked the relevant departments here to accept this group of people and reform them well, so Song Lao and his team knew about it.

"Yes. Thanks to Captain Li." Qin Tao said: "Those people are too hateful, please punish them severely!"

This is just a small matter, everyone treated it as a joke, and after it was finished, they started to talk about more important things.

"Mr. Song, that batch of goods is still being sold in the Russian market. The return of money should be slower. It is estimated that it will be received this week, about 20 million." Qin Tao said.

20 million?

Mr. Song opened his eyes wide: "So much?"

Qin Tao asked for several million rubles before he was willing to hand over the information to the 611 Institute, so Mr. Song could only grit his teeth and follow Qin Tao's words to deceive a large number of materials. The cost of those materials was about 10 million yuan. It was a transaction that Mr. Song gambled his reputation on.

Unexpectedly, after such a toss, it could actually be sold for 20 million? In other words, after paying the payment for the goods, they can still make 10 million!

"Mr. Song, the things you brought over are all good. The Russians are very satisfied. It's just that the situation there has been problematic recently, so they can't pay back in time." Qin Tao said, "For you, with this little profit, you can subsidize the scientific research projects. Although it's not much, it's also my little thought. In the future, when this road is open, you can continue to do this kind of business."

Mr. Song nodded. Ten million is really too important for them. It can solve several urgent things.

"Today is really a harvest day." At this time, a voice came from outside, and an old man walked over slowly with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Tu?" Qin Tao came here and fantasized about going to Factory 132 to take a look. Unexpectedly, without looking, this technical master actually came by himself!

In the Land of Abundance, Institute 611 and Factory 132 can be regarded as a pair of good brothers in the Hongkong Unit, but these two brothers behave differently.

Factory 611 has not yet produced a single finished product, and is working hard to make progress. Factory 132 has become prosperous in the tide of market economy.

Tu Lao is the technical master of Factory 132. Since the 1980s, he has been sparing no effort to promote the J-7 fighter to the outside world, and has achieved good results. Their 132 Factory is also prosperous.

Since they are all brothers, they have a good relationship, and they often go to each other's house. Hearing that a batch of confidential technical information was about to be delivered, Mr. Tu came over to watch the fun. At this time, he heard Qin Tao calling out to him The name was also taken aback.

"you know me?"

"Yes, I am engaged in foreign trade, and you are also engaged in foreign trade. I am fascinated by you." Qin Tao said.

Mr. Tu smiled and shook his head: "I can't compare with you. The business you do is much bigger than mine. One of your aircraft carriers can be sold for hundreds of millions, while our dozens of J-7s can only be sold for 100 million." "

"Mr. Tu, we can't compare with you. The Super 7 project you presided over is really impressive. Without national appropriation and sufficient funds, you have the courage to launch the Super 7 project, which is admirable." Qin Tao continued.

"Do you know about our Super Seven Project?" Tu Lao's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Qin Tao actually knew about this. After all, Qin Tao was a shipbuilder.

"They are all foreign trade projects, why don't we know about them." Qin Tao said, "This Super Seven project is such a pity."

Qin Tao really felt pity.

The Super Seven project is an in-depth modification project of the J-7. Of course, even its parents will not recognize this project after it has been modified. It has been completely transformed.

At the same time, this project has also experienced too many twists and turns. After all, Factory 132 does not have this technical strength.

At the beginning, it was a cooperation with the American Grumman Company, and the American F404 engine was also used. Later, the cooperation failed, and the third party of the project, the purchaser, Laoba, also gave up. However, Factory 132 did not give up. , is still working hard to develop it, and has gone to Moscow a few months ago to start negotiations with the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

Unfortunately, it is still difficult to make progress in negotiations.

Mr. Tu just came over to watch the fun. After all, the technology of vertical take-off and landing fighter jets still made many people jealous. However, he never expected that Qin Tao would actually talk about the Super Seven fighter jet.

At this time, when he heard Qin Tao say this, Mr. Tu's eyes were firm: "Yes, we have encountered many problems, but we believe that with our own abilities, we will definitely develop this fighter jet." successful!"

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, I also believe that this aircraft will be successfully developed, but the path must be taken correctly. If we continue to take the wrong path, it will greatly delay the development progress of this fighter jet."

"Mr. Qin, please give me some advice." Mr. Tu said to Qin Tao. He knew that Qin Tao was very good at foreign trade, so it would be of great benefit to listen to Qin Tao's opinions at this time.

"With all due respect, foreigners are unreliable. When we cooperate with them, they will all want to lead our projects. We cannot rely on others, we can only rely on ourselves."

Qin Tao's words made Tu Lao filled with emotions. When we first cooperated with Grumman, Grumman was going to be the general contractor. Now that we have found the Mikoyan Design Bureau, they also want to take the lead. As expected, the world is booming. , all for profit! They want to take charge but don’t have the skills.

Thinking of this, Mr. Tu sighed: "But our own technology is not good enough."

"The technical strength of your aircraft factory is not enough, but the technical strength of the 611 Institute is strong enough. Isn't it great that you entrusted the 611 Institute with the design?" Qin Tao said.

After hearing Qin Tao's suggestion, Mr. Tu and Mr. Song both raised their heads and looked at the sky: "The weather is really nice today."

Haha, this suggestion is over.

Of course Qin Tao knew why the two expressed their opinions like this.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Both of them are proud people. Although they have a good personal relationship, their positions are different when it comes to official matters.

In the project that year, Tu Lao suffered a loss. Even if it was just a survey and mapping imitation of the MiG-21MF, their aircraft factory almost lost a fortune. Now, are they still counting on the 611 Institute? Tu Lao didn't dare to put his eggs in this basket.

For Mr. Song, they are actively working hard to complete Project No. 10, which is their most important at present. They can study the information on vertical take-off and landing fighter aircraft first, but if they are allowed to devote all their energy to the super Seven, that will delay their Project No. 10.

Therefore, Qin Tao could only sigh. Now is not the time. When the time comes, 611 Institute and 132 Factory will be regrouped together to become Chengdu Aircraft Group. For now, forget it.

The forced melon is not sweet, so Qin Tao can only give up.

"The Mikoyan Design Bureau is still very strong." Mr. Song said: "As long as relevant agreements are reached, it is okay to ask them to develop it."

"But that powerful empire will disappear soon." Qin Tao said: "Under the overthrow of the nest, there are intact eggs. From now on, Lao Maozi's military industry will be in trouble. We rely on them to develop our projects. Huang The possibility is very high.”

If Qin Tao said these words before, people would be shocked, but now, the situation of the Red Empire is almost clear. It is like a decaying house. As long as the last kick is given, the whole house will collapse.

So what Qin Tao said could only make people sigh.

"Yes." Mr. Tu said: "We went to the Mikoyan Design Bureau a few months ago, and they invited us to have a meal. The best dish was beef. They ate a lot. There was chocolate at the end of the meal, but we only ate it. One, and the rest were taken away by them.”

"When I got on the plane and returned home, I was thinking, Lao Maozi has such a vast land, how come he can't even feed the people's stomachs."

"We were like this back then." Qin Tao said with emotion: "Thanks to our reform and opening up, otherwise we would still not have enough to eat now."

Working together on a collective farm may be okay in the first few years, but what about later, hahaha.

How did the content of this conversation turn into this? Qin Tao found it a bit funny. He looked at the mountains of information and said, "Speaking of eating, I'm also hungry now."

"Let's go, Mr. Qin, I'll treat you to dinner, Old Song, you come too." Mr. Tu said with a smile.

Who made the 611 so poor? They were too embarrassed to take Qin Tao to the cafeteria, so Mr. Song nodded tacitly and agreed, and called a few people to go out to eat together.

However, since it was Mr. Tu who invited him to dinner, of course Mr. Tu would be the protagonist, and he would talk the most.

"Mr. Qin, a few months ago, we went to Lao Maozi. The Mikoyan Design Bureau is really good. Even if they want to be the general contractor, even if we purchase an engine, we have to go through their Mikoyan Design Bureau." A few glasses of wine After eating it, Mr. Tu started to talk a lot. This was an international cooperation project anyway, so confidentiality requirements were not high.

ox? Yes, the current Mikoyan Design Bureau is still very good. In the end, because he could not pay wages, the chief engineer was so ashamed that he committed suicide.

"This is easy to talk about. Let's go directly to the Klimov Design Bureau to discuss it." Qin Tao said: "However, to change the double engine into a single engine, the receiver must be changed. This is a big project. If it is the original engine, we can do it privately. A few units are no problem.”

This is the key point. What they are interested in is the RD-33 engine used in Lao Maozi's MiG-29. The MiG-29 has dual engines, so the receiver is between the two engines, sharing one, but it is developed by itself. The Super Seven has a single engine. In order to facilitate maintenance, the receiver has to be placed underneath. This requires modification. We can only ask the Klimov Design Bureau, which is really not possible in China.

"The British promised to use their Rolls-Royce RB-199 engine for us and provide it for free during test flights. However, this engine is expensive and the risks involved are very high." Mr. Tu continued.

The biggest problem in China is the lack of qualified engines, which seriously restricts the development of Super Seven. Its development process is almost a process of finding and matching engines.

"Why don't you use things that are given for free? Let's wait until it's inappropriate." Qin Tao said very irresponsibly, but this kind of words is in line with Qin Tao's style.

Why not take advantage of the advantages? No matter whether he is suitable or not, you have to take what is given to you for free.

After saying that, beads of sweat appeared on Qin Tao's forehead: "Are there any dishes here that are not spicy?"

Although Qin Tao can also eat spicy food, the food here is still a bit unbearable for Qin Tao.

Even the scrambled egg with tomatoes has half a plate of chili in it. This menu should be changed to scrambled eggs with tomatoes and chili.

"This is really not the case." Tu Lao said: "If you ask them not to put any chili peppers, the chef will probably come out with a shovel and shout, I can't fry dishes without chili peppers, you do it!"

Qin Tao laughed dumbly. He knew that Mr. Tu was not joking. If he asked not to add chili pepper, the chef would probably think it was an insult to them. Is a dish without chili pepper still called a dish?

"Mr. Qin, the trend of vertical take-off and landing has passed. None of the fighter jets developed by various countries now have vertical take-off and landing. Do you think this kind of aircraft still has a future?"

An engineer present who had followed him for lunch spoke.

In the past, all countries had a sense of urgency due to the shadow of nuclear war. Once faced with a nuclear war, the aircraft they had hidden in the hangar might survive, but the airport would definitely be gone.

They need an aircraft that does not require an airport. Under this trend of thought, all countries are developing vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, but few have succeeded.

Now, the Cold War is coming to an end, and the fighter technology of various countries is also developing rapidly. The third-generation aircraft all have good short-distance take-off and landing capabilities, and some even only need a runway of one or two hundred meters to take off.

So, now there is no urgent need for this technology. So, is there still a demand?

"I may not know much about other things, but our navy definitely has needs." Qin Tao said.

navy? Everyone is a little curious, why is the navy in need? Is the navy going to build a small aircraft carrier that can take off by ski jump?

"Our motherland has a vast sea area, especially the southern sea area, which is far away from our mainland. It is difficult for navy fighters to fly there." Qin Tao said: "If our navy has vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, we can find a few in the southern sea area. The islands and reefs will be expanded into airports for our planes to take off and land.”

Qin Tao is a shipbuilder after all, and he is most concerned about the navy. The motherland has vast seas, but it is impossible to build too many aircraft carriers, so vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, landing on a small island reef, has become an alternative.

"Such island reefs are also difficult to find."

"When the time comes, we can build them ourselves and expand the area of ​​the island reef, but it cannot be too large, so vertical take-off and landing fighter jets are very suitable." Qin Tao said: "Of course, given our current conditions, we can only do preliminary research. If we can't solve the problem of the engine, everything will be in vain."

Vertical take-off and landing fighter jets have great requirements for engines. The Yak-141 relies on this 152 kilonewton engine to fly, but there is no engine of this level in China for the time being.

"Yes, the engine is the top priority." Song Lao also sighed: "At present, the only engine we can use immediately is the Su-27 engine. Mr. Qin, your suggestion last time is correct. Our institute..."

Speaking of this, he felt that he had said too much. After all, Qin Tao was not qualified to get involved in these things, so he could only shut up.

"Mr. Song, I wish you success." Qin Tao raised his glass.

Drinking is good, but drinking is not as spicy as eating spicy food, so you can use wine to rinse your mouth.

After finishing this glass, Qin Tao continued: "Mr. Tu, did you come into contact with the Russians' fourth-generation aircraft when you went to the Mikoyan Design Bureau in Moscow?"

"Fourth-generation aircraft?" Mr. Tu shook his head: "If they have one, it must be a highly confidential project, and we are not qualified to know."

"I heard that the Russians' fourth-generation aircraft uses a canard aerodynamic layout and a dual-engine solution with belly air intake." Qin Tao said: "If I have a chance in the future, I will find a way to get those materials."

Mr. Song's eyes sparkled.

At present, the MiG 1.44 project is still highly confidential. Although it has been carried out at the Mikoyan Design Bureau for ten years, the first prototype has not been built, so the outside world cannot find any traces of the Russians' new generation of aircraft.

However, according to the law of military aircraft research and development, the current MiG-29 and Su-27 have been equipped with troops, so they must have a new generation of fighter development projects, but they have not announced it.

Qin Tao has a good relationship with the Russians, so it is possible to hear a few words of description.

These words were said to Mr. Song. After all, the No. 10 project under his command also used these design schemes, with a canard layout and belly air intake, but only a single engine.

Different paths lead to the same destination. Since Mikoyan also chose this scheme, it means that this scheme has great advantages.

It's a pity that I can't talk too much with Qin Tao.

Mr. Song was not satisfied.

Qin Tao looked at Mr. Song's expression and knew what he was thinking at this time. I can't do anything about it. Who let us not have the qualification to be involved in secrets? We can only play dumb.

"Mr. Qin, what else did you hear?" Mr. Song asked.

"That's all." Qin Tao said: "The confidentiality level of this project is too high, and I don't have the opportunity to access too much information. Let's see if there is a chance to get it back later, but even if there is, it will probably cost a lot."

Mr. Song nodded: "Mr. Qin, I hope our business can continue in the future, and we hope to raise some funds." Mr. Song said.

Qin Tao nodded. This was his purpose. The 611 Institute was too poor. They had to find a way to make money so that they could live a better life.

"By the way, after dinner, can I go to the 132 factory to have a look?"

The J-7 produced by the 132 factory was not considered confidential. After all, it was a technology from decades ago.

"Of course, no problem. Welcome." said Mr. Tu.
