Chapter 775 Do You Understand WS-10 or Do I Understand WS-10?

After all, Richard Hamilton's evaluation was made only in the editorial office of the Annals of Mathematics, not at an academic conference.

And Lagstedt is a careful person, and it is impossible for him to speak nonsense casually.

Therefore, it may take some time to spread this influence.

For Chang Haonan, the military parade has a greater impact.

To be precise, it is the equipment unveiled at the military parade.

October 8.

According to Chang Haonan's plan, his main focus after the holiday will be on developing specific algorithms for manifold learning.

After all, the development plan of the group has been basically determined. Normally, a chief planner who does not hold the title of deputy general manager will not have too much daily work thrown on him unless the party committee is held.

Of course, after all, he is a well-known leader in the group, and he can't be missing on the first working day after the National Day holiday. Therefore, Chang Haonan decided to sit in the office for a while and go back to school after lunch.

As a result, he had just poured himself a glass of water in the office, and before he could even sit down, he saw Zhang Liangping from the Second Comprehensive Office appear at the door.

"Mr. Chang?"

The latter knocked on the door gently.

Judging from his tone, he seemed to be in a good mood.

But Chang Haonan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but sit up straight:

"Come in, sit anywhere."

Zhang Liangping was actually the personal secretary assigned to Chang Haonan by the group, but he followed the spirit of the superior's regulations and avoided mentioning these two words directly.

So, he appeared here, most likely with a "mission".

But this time, Chang Haonan guessed wrong.

As soon as the other party came in, he put several newspapers and a magazine on the desk.

"Mr. Chang, during the National Day holiday, I have specially collected some media reports on this military parade, especially those related to the air formation. Take a look."

After hearing this, Chang Haonan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he took the pile of newspapers in front of him and flipped through them briefly.

In fact, in the past few days, Chang Haonan himself has read a lot of news and newspapers.

Both Chinese and English.

The main perspective of those reports is naturally focused on the J-10 prototype that was unveiled for the first time.

Similar to his previous prediction, almost all analysts believe that the one exhibited at the military parade should be very close to mass production.

However, the ones collected by Zhang Liangping for him are different.

The focus is on the two J-11WS verification aircraft, or the WS-10.

You know, this is not the era of self-media with information explosion. If the aircraft changes its engine, as long as the first person posts it, it will quickly spread throughout the entire network, and the whole world will know it without waiting until the next day.

In the era of paper media, the rate of information circulation is very low.

Even if more professional media or open source intelligence analysis agencies noticed the existence of the WS-10, the scope of the news would not be very wide.

And these reports in front of him are all focusing on the new engines on the two Flankers, which are obviously specially selected by Zhang Liangping.

Providing news report summaries to leaders is indeed one of the secretary's jobs.

But picking out the content about WS-10 so accurately...

The road is wide, kid.

Chang Haonan really wants to read this -

Of course, he doesn't need to collect any information from these external materials.

It's mainly a kind of pleasure of "parents showing off their children in the circle of friends, and then secretly peeking at the comment area on the screen."

So, Chang Haonan opened the first newspaper with great interest...

This report, which was published on October 2 and occupied more than half of the page, was very substantial. It analyzed in detail the significance of the complete localization of the J-11 to the Chinese Air Force, as well as the positioning of the two future third-generation fighters.

It also added a very eye-catching comparison with the Air Self-Defense Force F15J.

It's a pity that the author has a good way of breaking the chapter, stopping abruptly at the climax, and claiming that there will be more detailed content in the picture album magazine to be issued later.

Out of curiosity, Chang Haonan found the beautifully bound magazine again.

Then he couldn't hold it anymore.

The content in the magazine was indeed very detailed.

Not only were there large color photos, but more than a dozen pages were used to vividly describe the process of the "WS-11 engine" being introduced along with the J-11, localized, and improved and upgraded -

Yes, this article describes the WS-10 as an upgraded model of the AL31F.

And because the installation target was the J-11, it was directly named WS-11.

There were even memories and comments published by "Russian technicians", as well as detailed technical data of the engine.

Chang Haonan was stunned by it.

If not for the fact that not a single punctuation mark was correct, including the model name, the identity of the chief designer, the R&D unit, and the important time nodes, he would even think that someone in the R&D team had leaked the information.

Obviously, the author did not have any internal sources.

But he was able to write such a thing in a purely imaginary situation...

His literary level was indeed very impressive.

Chang Haonan pointed at the magazine with a smile:

"How come it sounds like the truth..."

Zhang Liangping, who was sitting on the opposite chair, leaned over to take a look and laughed:

"Well... the content is not important, it's just a blind guess by the people. The main thing is that the people have high expectations and calls for our new engine..."

"Let me tell you, this magazine is priced at 20 yuan, and I raised the price to 50 that day before I snatched it from the book stall owner."

Obviously, he had read it before and knew what was written in it.

Chang Haonan was shocked after hearing this, but he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to shake his head helplessly:

"It's not surprising, it's really well written."

"Thanks to the fact that WS-10 was designed by me, otherwise I would have believed this... literary work a little bit..."

...

Just when Chang Haonan was about to see what outrageous content would come out later, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Zhang Liangping quickly got up and motioned to wait outside.

Chang Haonan picked up the phone.

A slightly unfamiliar voice sounded over there:

"Mr. Chang, I'm Liang Zhuoping from the Aviation Industry Corporation."

Chang Haonan's former boss.

However, there wasn't much direct contact between the two.

After all, Chang Haonan basically had direct contact with Ding Gaoheng, and later the two sides separated, so there was even less intersection.

"Mr. Liang, hello, hello."

While answering, Chang Haonan wondered what the other party could have to ask him for.

"The news just came from Aviation Technology that they received a cooperation invitation letter signed by Oliver Weiley, the head of Dassault Aviation's China region."

Liang Zhuoping got straight to the point:

"Dassault's meaning is that their current main business jet models are designed for the European market, so they hope to cooperate with us to develop a new model that can adapt to the Chinese and North American markets."

After the Aviation Industry Corporation of China was split, China Aviation Technology did not follow the split, but remained under the Aviation Industry Corporation of China.

After all, at that time, it might take some time for China to export aircraft engines alone.

Even if there is, as long as the business volume is not too large, there is no problem in continuing to use Aviation Technology's channels.

After hearing Liang Zhuoping's words, Chang Haonan's first reaction was outrageous:

"Cooperate with us to develop?"

Although China's current economic level has been growing rapidly, it is still in the stage of "rapid progress because of a low starting point". At least in 1999, it was still a little early to talk about the layout of the high-end market such as business jets.

Not to mention joint research and development.

Business jets are all about tone.

At least in the 1990s, Chang Haonan had to admit that China still lacked persuasiveness in the high-end market.

Even if some technologies here are really needed, such as wing design or active noise reduction, the supplier model should be chosen.

Liang Zhuoping hesitated for a moment, then explained:

"The reason for making it public in the document is that their current main models cannot fly across the Pacific Ocean, and there is no way to fly directly from China to Europe. They really need models with longer range to compete with Bombardier and Gulfstream."

Chang Haonan frowned.

Reasonable.

But not reasonable enough.

And if it is for this reason, it has nothing to do with his Aviation Power Group.

Liang Zhuoping paused for a moment, then continued;

"However, we have inquired through some private relationships we have established before, and it is said that Snecma Group hopes to find an opportunity to cooperate with us, um... to be precise, with you, in technology, and Dassault is just providing a white glove."

"Director Ding means that I want to ask Mr. Chang for your opinion."
