Chapter 968 Let Them Waste some Resources

Based on Luan Wenjie's understanding of Chang Haonan, the "slightly tilted" mentioned by the latter may not be so slightly.

But these can always be discussed.

Moreover, in addition to the practical series of satellites dedicated to scientific exploration and technical experiments, China currently has the Shenzhou spacecraft orbital module that can be used as a small satellite, which has a lot more mission payload than in previous years.

So, this matter was finalized.

Of course, when the project level is halfway through, it still needs to go through a process in the middle.

Fortunately, the hardware development stage of the Ocean No. 1 satellite has been completed, so it is not expected to affect the final launch window.

This report meeting, which was expected to last only about two hours, ended up taking most of the day.

When Chang Haonan and Lin Senming sent off several leaders who attended the meeting, it was already sunset.

In January in Beijing, it gets dark early.

"Mr. Chang."

Standing in the parking lot, Lin Senming shook Chang Haonan's hand tightly with excitement.

His lips moved slightly, obviously wanting to express his feelings at the moment.

But in the end, he was still limited by his slightly lacking language skills.

Thousands of words turned into one sentence:

"Thank you very much..."

Everything is self-explanatory. It belongs to-

Although Lin Senming is only the deputy chief designer of Ocean No. 1, he also cooperates with Chang Haonan in software design.

But the latter is not a member of the aerospace system after all.

In the Fifth Academy, and even at the level of aerospace technology, Lin Senming is the most important young backbone force in the Ocean No. 1 satellite project, without a doubt.

Therefore, the development prospects of Ocean No. 1, or the Ocean series of satellites, will directly affect his future and destiny.

The projects led by the National Bureau and the projects led by the ministry level seem to be only half a level apart, but the resources and priorities obtained are completely different.

As for the next level higher...

It would have to set up a separate department to be responsible for it, just like manned space flight.

Lin Senming dared not even think about it.

However, these are already commonplace for Chang Haonan.

It is better to say that he is responsible for several projects that he has participated in, and there is no lower level.

Now it is just returning to normal.

"Mr. Lin, the hardware of Ocean No. 1 is developed by your comrades from the Fifth Institute, so we still need a lot of cooperation in the subsequent software and hardware adaptation work."

Chang Haonan looked at Lin Senming who was so excited that he couldn't speak, and decided to break the awkward silence first.

The main reason is that the other party grabbed him and refused to let go, and it was not a solution to just stay like this.

"I will definitely cooperate, I will definitely cooperate."

Lin Senming then remembered to put his hand down, and then quickly replied:

"I really didn't expect that a report meeting could produce such a good effect..."

Chang Haonan quickly put his arms behind his back to prevent being controlled by the other party again:

"In the results report meeting, most of the audience below are not professionals. They are either from other fields or simply work in administration. To put it bluntly, the focus they want to see is how powerful our results are, not why we are so powerful."

"So, the starting point is to show the achievements we have made so far in the most intuitive way. If there are really no achievements now, then try your best You can paint a beautiful prospect... Of course, you have to find a way to make people believe that the prospect you are talking about exists. "

"In fact, today is nothing. After all, Ocean No. 1 is a mature project that has been approved and even has a future development plan. It is just icing on the cake at most... If you really want to say it, it is the two reports before the establishment of the No. 10 project and the 921 project that are the real changes in fate..."

In fact, Chang Haonan originally wanted to say that the aviation engine industry conference that year directly reversed the entire layout of China's aviation engine industry, and even the birth of the Aviation Power Group can be regarded as one of its aftermath.

But then he changed his mind and thought that although these were all true, what he said was inevitably self-boasting.

So he temporarily changed the topic to Project 921 and Project No. 10...

Fortunately, Lin Senming had not yet completely calmed down, and he did not care about the specific example Chang Haonan gave:

"Mr. Chang, it's not too early, otherwise... take a break and have a meal in our office cafeteria?"

He knew very well that if he asked the other party to go outside, he would definitely be rejected.

But the cafeterias of such large units, even if they do not have special reception venues like the Torch Group, always have small kitchens or similar configurations.

In fact, logically speaking, Chang Haonan does not reject such emotional connections within a reasonable range.

In particular, his past connections were mainly in the fields of aviation and machinery. As a grassroots backbone of the aerospace system, it would definitely not be bad for Lin Senming to have good relations with each other.

But today...

Chang Haonan raised his hand and looked at the watch:

"It seems a bit too early, it's just after four o'clock..."

He was a little hesitant, wondering if he should go back to the office.

Not the Torch Laboratory, but the Aviation Power Group.

In the past half month, I have been busy with the contour segmentation algorithm and have hardly paid attention to the situation in the group.

Lin Senming looked at Chang Haonan's embarrassed look and immediately stopped insisting:

"If Mr. Chang still has something to do, we can change the date. Anyway, there will be more opportunities in the future..."

"That's fine."

Chang Haonan nodded:

"After the Ocean One project is successful, I'll invite you to experience it in the Torch Group's cafeteria..."

…

This sudden decision made Chang Haonan receive a phone call from Shengjing by chance.

It was Liu Yongquan who called.

What's a bit outrageous is that after the call was connected, the other party was stunned for a moment:

"Mr. Chang?"

It seemed that Chang Haonan was not expected to be in the office at all.

However, it seems reasonable. In the recent period, almost all matters that others contact me through the group level are communicated through Zhang Liangping.

So to most people, he has indeed been "missing" for a while.

"it's me."

Chang Haonan took off his cotton hat and put it on the desk casually:

"Today's call, I guess... is that Snecma's testing has been completed?"

Chang Haonan glanced at the date and thought that it had been almost a month since he got the test sample from the other party. Even if there was a Christmas holiday in the middle, it seemed that the results should be available.

However, it turns out that he still overestimated the French's work efficiency under normal conditions...

"That's not true. When I contacted Dr. Vesta a few days ago, he told me that work there has just resumed and it may not be completed until around the 25th."

Liu Yongquan explained:

"Actually, it was Dassault. They contacted me through Snecma's employees stationed in Shengjing."

"Dassault..."

Chang Haonan was unbuttoning his coat with one hand at this time. He couldn't help but stop after hearing this answer:

"How did they find you directly?"

Although the two companies are cooperating on the Falcon Z project, this project is directly connected by the Aerodynamics Headquarters with Dassault, unlike the M88 project, which has to go through the Shengfa Group additionally.

Therefore, logically speaking, even if something happened, one should not go directly to Liu Yongquan beyond his level.

"Hmm... I feel like it's just a casual chat, and there's no intention of issuing a formal document, so it's not convenient to contact you or other group leaders directly..."

Liu Yongquan first made some speculations, and then continued:

"Those people went around in circles with me for several times, but they never made it clear. However, they went around and around to test our views on the Indian LCA fighter jet."

"LCA..."

Chang Haonan finally took off his coat and leaned back on the chair.

The sudden mention of this unpopular model made him a little confused.

At this time, Liu Yongan added:

"In addition, they also accidentally mentioned that the Indians seemed to hope that Dassault could help them develop an upgraded model for the aircraft..."

"Huh?"

Chang Haonan immediately sat up straight:

"Is there such a thing?"

"Well... it's just that one of them mentioned a few words, and it may not be true..."

Liu Yongquan quickly explained.

"No, this was definitely not mentioned accidentally."

Chang Haonan on the other side of the phone almost laughed out loud:

"I guess Dassault is worried that if they help the Indians develop new fighter jets, it may affect cooperation with us, so they want to use you to judge our country's attitude towards the LCA model."

After his analysis, Liu Yongquan quickly reacted:

"If that's the case...it does make sense..."

The two projects that Dassault Aviation is now ordered to look at are all tied to the Aerospace Power Group.

In this case, no matter how high the price offered by the Indians, the former will still have to weigh it.

"Then...I don't know what you mean?"

Liu Yongquan asked.

"Is this kind of thing...I am definitely not the one who can make the decision."

Chang Haonan did not give an answer immediately.

This matter involves three countries, and if it goes online, it may affect foreign relations. Therefore, it is impossible for Chang Haonan to make the decision directly by overstepping his authority.

That's pure suicide.

After a short pause, he changed the topic again:

"However, I will make suggestions to my superiors on this matter. Just wait for my notification."

Since Chang Haonan had said this, Liu Yongquan had nothing to worry about and immediately replied:

"yes!"

"Attention, before I give you a clear answer, you try not to talk about this matter with the French personnel again."

Before hanging up the phone, Chang Haonan specifically asked:

"If they take the initiative to talk to you, then..."

"Just go around in circles with them, I understand!"

Liu Yongquan came directly to answer the questions.

"It's good to know."

Chang Haonan smiled and shook his head, hung up the phone at the same time, and then took out a piece of manuscript paper from the drawer of his desk, ready to start writing a report.

If this happened to other countries, Chang Haonan would probably really consider stopping the French.

After all, military technology transfer is more sensitive than pure arms sales.

The impact is also more far-reaching.

But India…

Especially LCA…

It’s really hard to say.

Chang Haonan thought that instead of cutting off all the other party's hopes, it would be better to let the other party continue to waste resources on this model-

The LCA in the previous life had not really formed combat effectiveness until he was reborn, and the subsequent improved MK1A model was also far away.

As for the deeply modified MK2 model...

It only exists in legends.

Moreover, even if the Indians in this timeline are a little more capable and tinker with the LCA in advance...

It doesn't matter.

The parts and raw materials of this model are imported from the West in large quantities, resulting in a "domestic" light aircraft with a price comparable to that of imported heavy aircraft.

In other words, for every additional LCA the Indians have, there will be one less Su-30MKI.

Chang Haonan can still calculate this account clearly.

Therefore, his suggestion is very straightforward-

Don't worry about those Indians, just let them do whatever they want.
