Chapter 502 Blueprints

Li Qing already knew through Tian Yangsheng that Gu Chang was a national treasure and had a high status in the aircraft manufacturing industry in his hometown.

But I have never heard that he participated in the design of Figure 160.

"Haha, I once studied in Mao Xiong. At that time, Mao Xiong was really powerful." Gu Chang had a look of nostalgia on his face.

"People who came from our era have deep feelings for 'Big Brother'." He lamented.

The early woolly bears were of great help to their hometown. Material assistance, expert assistance, etc. helped the new country of China to rapidly develop various undertakings.

However, the subsequent withdrawal of aid, coupled with various difficulties in international and trade matters, gradually eroded this goodwill.

Nowadays, people only have regrets about the furry bears. It is incredible that such a huge country has disappeared.

"I know!" Li Qing smiled, "But now Da Mao and Er Mao are not friendly to their hometown."

Gu Chang nodded, "This is also the great thing about Beautiful Country. Ermao has become more Westernized. If this continues, sooner or later he will become a puppet of Beautiful Country.

The new President Mao is very powerful when he comes to power, and his style of doing things is a bit like Mao Xiong before it was disbanded. "

Gu Chang sees things more clearly than the average person.

Li Qing nodded. If the butterfly effect did not occur, Gu Chang's inference would be correct.

"That's why I want to transport the Tu-160 back as quickly as possible. Every time the country increases its strength, it will be able to take more international initiative in the future." Gu Chang sighed, "I won't live for many years. I want to I saw the country becoming stronger before I closed my eyes.”

"Yes, you have to take good care of yourself. We will definitely become stronger in twenty or thirty years." Li Qing spoke firmly.

"Oh, so sure?"

"Yeah, I promise, if I'm wrong, I'll give you a better plane."

Li Qing looked at Gu Chang and joked.

"Haha... I have to live until then for that plane." Gu Chang laughed after hearing Li Qing's words.

The two talked a lot throughout the afternoon, covering everything from the international situation to the difficulties facing the country.

The two stopped communicating until the dinner started.

The dinner is a standard Ermao-style dinner prepared by Li Qing, Rangtian Yangsheng and others, so that the guests can experience the exotic flavor.

Big meat skewers, cabbage rolls, wheat berry pudding, hash browns... and the most classic red cabbage soup.

The group of people chatted and laughed, and under the influence of alcohol, everyone became familiar with each other.

The next morning, Gu Chang couldn't wait to wake up the unkempt engineers and started to get into the car arranged by Li Qing to head to the location of the plane.

"This...is this Ermao's military base?"

Gu Chang looked at the military base not far away with a shocked expression.

Li Qing said nothing, just smiled and nodded.

Gu Chang opened his mouth in surprise and stared blankly at the soldiers standing guard opposite, saluted and let the car go.

He was so surprised. He didn't expect that Li Qing was much more capable than he thought.

Even the Ermao Military Base has free access, and he thought the Tu-160 would be hidden in an inconspicuous warehouse by Li Qing.

Until they arrived at the warehouse where the "White Swan" was located, these engineers had not yet come out of their shock.

The door of the warehouse opened slowly, and they focused their attention on the "white swan" they were looking forward to. They all looked inside.

Li Qing asked someone to turn on the lights, and Gu Chang walked into the warehouse impatiently, looking at the "white swan" in front of him as if he was seeing his lover.

Although the "white swan" covered in dust looks like an ugly duckling, it still cannot stop the fiery eyes of this group of people.

"Okay, okay! Great!" Gu Chang looked at the "white swan" in front of him excitedly. Only now did he believe that everything was true.

After ten minutes, everyone calmed down before discussing how to dismantle the "White Swan".

Li Qing didn't talk much, he just watched quietly. He didn't understand these professional things, so he just let the professionals do it.

A group of people started making trouble inside and outside, and Gu Chang even climbed up the ladder to the cockpit, causing a group of engineers to yell and scream, for fear of knocking Gu Chang out.

Gu Chang ignored the others and fumbled for various instruments like treasures. These were all things worth more to him than his life.

After searching for a long time, his eyes slowly became serious, and he looked at the Tu-160 inside and out carefully.

"It's different, it's different! They changed the parameters."

Obviously, the Tu-160 in front of him is different from the Tu-160 he participated in the design at that time. It should be that the engineer modified the parameters in the later stage.

Although according to his own ideas, he could still bring the "White Swan" home, he was afraid that there would be any missing points, especially the "soul" of the Tu-160 - the NK-32 engine.

Gu Chang frowned and hurried to Li Qing's side, whispering: "Aqing, do you have the drawings of Tu-160?"

Li Qing shook his head regretfully after hearing this. He also asked Renikov for it in person, but unfortunately the last drawing had been destroyed under the supervision of the Beautiful Country.

"What's wrong?"

"In some places, there are no specific parameters, so I can't be sure. You know, airplanes are very precise. Even if a screw is lost, a big accident will occur."

Gu Chang said with a solemn expression.

Li Qing also frowned and glanced at Tu-160, ‘It seems this thing is more difficult to deal with than I thought. ’

"There are two ways now. One is to have someone drive the whole aircraft back. The other is to find the blueprints of the aircraft." Gu Chang suggested.

Li Qing shook his head and rejected the first suggestion immediately.

The whole aircraft cannot be driven back. This is a strategic bomber. China and Russia are thousands of kilometers apart. The countries in between will not allow bombers to enter at will.

Besides, neither the United States nor Russia will allow the Tu-160 to be obtained by China.

There is only one way, that is to find the blueprints of the Tu-160, but the problem is that the blueprints of the Tu-160 have been burned.

"Teacher Gu, don't worry! You can study how to disassemble it first. As for the blueprints, I will do my best to find them." Li Qing comforted.

Since the blueprints cannot be found, then find the person who designed the blueprints!

Gu Chang glanced at Li Qing's expression and knew what he was thinking. Remind: "The first person to design Tu-160 was my teacher Tupolev, who died in the 1970s."

Li Qing nodded when he heard this. He didn't believe that he couldn't find engineers who participated in the design of Tu-160 in Ermao.

Arrange Tian Yangsheng and others to protect the experts and engineers here, while Li Qing took a car to find Ike. This guy must have a way.

The Rolls-Royce soon arrived at Ike's manor villa.

"Tian, ​​Qing, this is the first time you have taken the initiative to come to my house." Ike laughed and hugged Li Qing.

He has been busy with election matters these days. After all, the election is getting closer and closer. He can't let him wait for another year because the money has not been delivered.

"Hey...I'm afraid of delaying your business." Li Qing patted Ike on the back and joked.

"Speak! I know you don't come to the temple for no reason." Ike asked with a smile.

"Ahem...help me search for the drawings of Tu-160." Li Qing was not embarrassed and blurted out directly after being pointed out by Ike.

Ike thought it was a big deal. It was not difficult for him. As long as Ermao had it, he could find it.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Ike agreed immediately.

But it was more difficult than he thought, mainly because Ermao was honest and did not keep any drawings.

Two days later, Li Qing received a slightly apologetic call from Ike.

"Qing, I'm sorry! Ermao really didn't have it, but I found someone who might be able to get the drawings through him."

"Who?" Li Qing asked curiously.

"Valentine, the chief designer of Figure 160! But he now lives in Damao..."
