Chapter 845 The Evolution of the M88 Engine

The two chatted for more than half an hour, and finally Liu Gaozhuo had no choice but to accept the reality:

"It seems that the trial production batches can only be delivered next year..."

In addition to the fact that phased array radar has not yet been used, and the data processing capabilities of the airborne computer are still relatively limited, the J-11B has almost reached the level of the third and a half generations currently being developed by various countries.

Therefore, Liu Gaozhuo originally wanted to give the Air Force, and of course his superiors, a surprise to welcome the new century before the end of this year.

But this plan can only be postponed.

"Don't be too discouraged. Even if it is delivered early next year, from a time perspective, it will be considered a gift for the new century."

Chang Haonan could only comfort himself.

The 21st century starts in 2001, so as long as it doesn't take too long, it makes sense.

"Sigh...it's true that we are a little anxious."

Liu Gaozhuo nodded:

"If you think about it carefully, although it is an improved model and many subjects have been verified by Su-27SM in advance, the current efficiency is already very fast..."

The J-11B only made its official first flight after the National Day last year. However, because of the existence of the Sukhoi isomer model, it is equivalent to a total of 6 aircraft from the two countries flying at the same time. Only the airborne equipment and weapon systems need to be separated. Independently verified.

The entire test flight process is much simpler than that of a new aircraft or even a major facelift like the J-10A.

“It’s normal to feel anxious.”

Now that they have finished talking about the business, Chang Haonan stood up and prepared to leave the office with Liu Gaozhuo:

"Think about four years ago, when we saw the F14 in the southeast, we had nothing to do with it. Although there were a lot of achievements in the next few years, the main combat models that were truly transformed into combat effectiveness were the J-8C and J-11. I really can’t relax mentally..."

The latter also followed Chang Haonan's footsteps, and while waiting for Chang Haonan to lock the door, he said in a relaxed tone:

"But speaking of which, before coming here this time, Mr. He and I both felt that you could definitely help us overcome this trouble."

"Hey...I'm not a machine..."

Chang Haonan originally wanted to say that he was not a Doraemon, and that he could get everything just by digging into his magical pocket, but then he thought about it and was not sure whether Doraemon had been introduced to China these days, and even if it had been introduced, Liu Gaozhuo would probably be older than him. I haven’t seen it, so I have to change my story:

"...It's not like Aladdin's magic lamp. Just make a wish on it and you'll get everything."

"Before today, I really thought you were..."

"..."

...In the following period, Chang Haonan finally realized what the trouble of being famous is——

Many of his previous achievements were either not very eye-catching, or it was inconvenient to promote them.

But this time it was completely different.

His reputation in the world of theoretical mathematics is worthy of a lot of praise.

By the way, you can also find out what is going on with Chang Haonan's incredible resume.

Mathematician.

What happened to getting some grades in your 20s?

What’s wrong with cross-border efforts to develop algorithms and software?

It would be reasonable to study numerical calculations again, right?

Anyway, in the eyes of most people, the identity of a mathematician is basically equivalent to that of a magician, and they will not think about it in depth.

However, doing so also brings some side effects.

Although the school has turned down most of the invitations for him, there are still many people who can contact him directly.

Not to mention anything else, there are dozens of well-known universities at home and abroad that have invited him to give lectures.

As well as various top conferences, academic forums, honorary degrees...

Even the French Academy of Sciences, which had been in the spotlight because of that paper, contacted Chang Haonan through Jean-Christophe Yorkz and asked him if he was willing to accept the title of a foreign academician...

In fact, if I have to say it, a considerable part of the honors can be received.

For example, the Madison Medal issued by Princeton University, the honorary doctorate awarded by Columbia University, and the foreign academician of the French Academy of Sciences.

None of this requires Chang Haonan himself to actually do anything.

He doesn't even have to go abroad.

But not now.

This is the time when Poincaré's conjecture is at its peak in academic circles. As long as one of these things is connected, the rest will be endless.

For example, if you accepted the title given by the French Academy of Sciences, can you not accept the title given by the Royal Society?

If you don't want to, are you looking down on our British mathematical community?

…

In short, this situation lasted until the end of June, and Chang Haonan really couldn't hold on anymore.

He left all similar liaison work to Tang Lintian and Liu Chenchen, while he directly dealt with it——

Taking advantage of the opportunity to check the turbofan 10 test data, I went to Shengjing to escape the limelight.

"Mr. Chang, we thought you wouldn't be able to come this month."

As usual, Liu Yongquan accompanied him during the 606 institute's trip.

"Don't mention it. If those people weren't so enthusiastic, I guess they wouldn't come this month."

Chang Haonan waved his hand with lingering fear:

"The result... it's so scary. The work email in my school is no longer usable. I wish it would be filled with emails every day. The most exaggerated thing is that I read emails so fast that I don't receive any emails." high speed……"

Liu Yongquan directly made a tactical retreat.

"When I look at it, I guess we don't have the destiny to be an academic star, so we might as well come here and do something down-to-earth..."

"..."

After some chatting and laughing, the two quickly got down to business:

"Mr. Chang, Snecma sent several more representatives over two days ago, saying they wanted to sign a longer-term cooperation agreement with us."

"Longer term?"

Chang Haonan didn't understand the meaning for a while.

Liu Yongquan explained:

"Didn't the agreement we reached before only include the basic model of the M88-2? This time the French are ready to discuss cooperation on subsequent improved models."

"Ah this..."

Chang Haonan showed an expression that he couldn't bear to look at:

"Why did your attitude change so suddenly?"

In the process of cooperating with China, Snecma himself also had ideas.

Obviously, he plans to use all the usable models on Rafale first, and then slowly study and modify them on his own.

Regarding this idea, Chang Haonan's attitude is one of respect and blessing.

We are all independent countries, and it is normal for us to have different positions. Therefore, in business, as long as you give the money that should be paid and the profits that should be shared, you will not be able to interfere in the future.

As a result, it only took a little more than half a year, but why did the other side perform a sliding kneeling again?

Even for the French, this shot is a bit too frequent.

"Well...there are indeed some rumors, but they are not true."

Liu Yongquan lowered his voice slightly:

"Didn't you point out before that the turbine disc may be damaged after 1,000-1,500 cycles after an overhaul?"

Chang Haonan nodded.

"After Snecma returned, he conducted a ground experiment using two overhauled engines."

Liu Yongquan continued:

"As soon as the cycle time exceeded 1,000, the hot end of a test machine exploded. It is said that it even damaged a lot of equipment in the aviation engine test center..."

Chang Haonan was shocked after hearing this.

I am just a WOC at heart...

In fact, he had seen this problem with the CFM56 core machine in the literature in his previous life, and it was only finally solved at the beginning of the 21st century.

But none of the fault records mentioned that it would be so serious as to explode directly on the spot.

"I guess this explosion... has completely blown away the spirit of the French people."

Liu Yongquan reasonably speculated:

"This time we are testing on the ground, so we can keep it a secret. If something goes wrong in the sky, it will be a shame."

"And it's still a common problem. It's not an occasional malfunction. If it's exposed, let alone exported, the French Air Force itself might not be willing to accept it..."
