Super military empire

(Greatly added 2/100 for @liwers_loor)

"Test flight without coating? Isn't that too..." For the front half of the frame in front of you, the coating has become mottled, as if planed out of a garbage dump, the back half is simply the metal color, the skin on the top. The rivet marks are very obvious.

There is simply not the slightest amount of mighty and domineering fighters should have.

It's like a phoenix with no hair.

As the deputy chief designer at the beginning, the kind people who have been robbed of the position by Simon Love now twitch the corners of their mouths once they see them.

It's so ugly, maybe you can't fly!

Simon Love came from the Soviet Union, and with the supremacy of pragmatism, he also felt that Liu Yijiu's work was a bit too much. To show people, this fighter was too rubbish.Even the fighter jets that were produced during World War II and flew directly to the battlefield, it is very likely that they will turn into a pile of scrap iron fighter jets when they appear on the battlefield, and they will also be coated!

Liu Yijiu's doing such a thing is really speechless.

"As long as it doesn't affect the test flight, there is no problem. Besides, the engine must be tested after the test, and intensive test flights must be performed. We can't get the coating again after one inspection? The coating material is also money!" Liu Yi No matter what others say.

This is an American f-14. Without a coating, it can't be seen at all. At least, it won't be exactly the same as the f-14.

"Tomorrow, just tow the plane to the airport runway! Director Liu, even if we don’t scrape the bottom ash, we must at least spray a layer of paint on the surface. At least it looks much better. Come to visit!" Zhu Hodao was still unwilling.

Even if he is not the chief designer, he does the job of the chief designer.

For him, it was like his daughter was about to get married. He was supposed to be dressed beautifully, but he met a fierce stepmother like Liu Yijiu. Not only did he not dress his daughter well, but also stripped her daughter. All the clothes are just that, not so, after all, the metal color and neatly arranged and beautiful rivets after the fighter plane are assembled look very beautiful.

However, because of the number of disassembly in the front, the exterior coating of the fighter's front body has become very mottled...

Liu Yijiu doesn’t care about this. The J-10 fighter developed by Simon Love has just begun to place orders for parts and components after it has been redesigned, and the test is just to test the turbofan-8, a high-thrust engine running in the air. The reliability of China, especially after coming to China for such a long time, deeply understands that Liu Yijiu is his boss.

Any leader can offend Liu Yijiu.

He didn't say anything at all.

In the early morning of the next day, Long Yaohua, Li Yunlong, the new director of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, and Johnson and other bigwigs who were not familiar with Liu Yijiu came, and even Shen Fei's senior management and technical personnel arrived!

In Rongcheng in winter, it is rare to have a good weather, and on this day, God is also very generous. The fog in the morning, the fog began to dissipate at about ten in the morning, and the sun showed a smiling face.

When the mottled-looking fighters gradually appeared from the hangar on the runway outside the assembly plant under the traction of fighter tractors, everyone was stunned by the ragged appearance.

This is a fighter plane?

The mottled front part of the coating, the second half is not painted at all, and the riveting marks make each piece of skin very clearly seen, like countless patches on the back.

"Can this fighter fly? This is our new fighter?" The management staff of the National Defense Science and Industry Commission began to mobilize. Johnson did not know the situation of the Ninth Academy very well, and had too little contact with it. The horizontal turbofan engine was originally a welcome thing. At first, I was worried about the lack of an aerial test platform. The result told him that the Ninth Institute had already acquired the American F-14 fighter plane, and now I see this ugly appearance. , I worked hard immediately.

It feels like he was fooled by the people of the Ninth Academy just as he took office.

"Chief, the appearance of the new fighter is the same as this one, but this is an American F-14 Panda fighter from Iran. Today we are testing our turbofan-8, not our imitation aircraft..." Liu Yijiu Nodded, Liu Yijiu didn't have much favor with the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, who told him not to make the relationship too stale by Long Yaohua, so as not to deal with problems later.

He had never heard of someone like Johnson. Liu Yijiu didn't want to know why he could sit in such a crucial position.

"Why don't you even have a coating? This coating can't cost much money, right?"

"Our Ninth Institute is tight in funding, chief, or else, the Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will allocate some money for us! The Ninth Institute has many projects and few sources of income..." Liu Yijiu immediately began to cry poor.

Liu Yijiu was very disgusted with Johnson, a leader who had never dealt with, who was playing officialdom.

If you don't clean them up at the beginning, you will have to intervene in the affairs of the Ninth Hospital at every turn.

The Ninth Academy is a unit of the military. Even if it has independent management rights and project autonomy, once the military wants to interfere in this matter, especially directly under the government, in charge of all military science and technology for national defense science and engineering. It is also very troublesome to have a conflict with them.

"Naughty, pull it back, and experiment after finishing the appearance painting!" Johnson immediately became angry.

When Long Yaohua saw Johnson, he became a little stiff with Liu Yijiu, and couldn't help but frowned. However, under such circumstances, it was not easy for him to come forward and say anything. The court is not within its jurisdiction, and it is already very dissatisfied that it exports prohibited technologies and equipment abroad at every turn.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone like Johnson to sit in this position anyway.

Li Yunlong is a posture of hanging up on his own.

Seeing Long Yaohua, Liu Yijiu kept winking at himself, knowing that he could not fall out with Johnson at this time, but it was impossible to follow his will and drag the fighter back into the hangar, and wait until the repainting. Then carry out the flight test.

The weather in Chengdu in winter was not good enough, which had a great impact on the test flight of the fighter plane, and the aerial platform test of the engine required hundreds of flight hours to verify!

Can't wait.

Whether to continue to produce engines, whether to continue to produce prototypes for test flight, these all need at least dozens of hours of flight time to decide.

The test flight of the imitation f-14 has not made much progress because of waiting for the engine. Only two f-14s were obtained from Iran. One was used to train pilots and the other was used as an aerial platform. The MiG-25 fighters that arrived had no way to test their Turbofan-8 as an aerial platform. There was no problem when it was an aerial test platform for the Turbofan-6, but the Turbofan-6 was obviously equipped for the XV.

It is strange that Liu Yijiu can agree with Johnson's messing around now.

"Chief, the weather conditions in Chengdu are not so good, especially in this winter, the weather conditions are rarely so good, if you get it back and repaint, I don’t know when the experiment will be carried out. There is no painting anyway, except for the ugly. It doesn't affect the flight. We really have limited funds, and if we can save it, we will save..." Liu Yijiu understood Long Yaohua's difficulties, and he didn't push Johnson too far in the past.

But this guy must know that the Ninth Hospital is not something he can manage.

Sometimes, there is no need to show strength and quarrel with others or something.

The smiling tiger with needles in Mianli makes people scared.

"It's not as good as it looks. How to say this is the first practical engine in our country..." Seeing Liu Yijiu's service soft, Johnson felt that Liu Yijiu was not as difficult to deal with in the legend.

Others should have exaggerated Liu Yijiu because they were worried about the consequences.

This is just an ordinary young man who is less than thirty, how can he compare to them who have experienced countless storms?

At least, Liu Yijiu didn't dare to resist him directly. If he wanted to resist, he had to let Liu Yijiu and the others drag the plane back, and let them paint it before testing.

"Chief, it's no problem to show the picture. How come these projects of our Ninth Academy should belong to the national key projects? Give us some funds to ensure that there will definitely be good looks every time..." Liu Yijiu smiled. To say.

Johnson saw Liu Yijiu flattering, and he was in a good mood.

Said proudly to Liu Yijiu, “Funding is not a problem. I haven’t learned about the other projects of the Ninth Academy, but turbofan engines and third-generation fighter jets are the world’s first-class technical projects. Naturally, the working committee has to strongly support it, let's just say, how much funding do you still lack?"

Hearing Johnson's words, Long Yaohua's mouth twitched, but he still managed to laugh out loud.

The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth bend directly.

"Chief, or else, let's pull out the imitation plane for a test flight today. If it weren't for testing the flight of the engine in the air, we would just get it together today." Liu Yijiu continued to flatter with a smile on his face.

As the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Johnson had just taken office and had no political achievements at all.

Liu Yijiu directly let the engine air test and the imitation of the three-generation fighters be carried out at the same time, which clearly told him that this is his leadership and leadership.

If you allocate more money and get results, it is obviously that his leader supports him.

"Let’s follow your plan. I’ll stay here for a few days. Let’s talk about it. How much funding do you still lack? Twenty million is enough?" Johnson believes that for such a project, two thousand Wan is already a very large amount of funding.

Liu Yijiu immediately made an exaggerated look, "Chief, don't you think that the turbofan engine is the same as the ordinary jet engine used in the second-generation J-7 aircraft, do you? Chief, do you know, it's just this The cost of each of the two turbofan-8s on the F-14 has exceeded two million dollars..."
