Super military empire

(Greatly added 15/20 for @driden)

China Southern Airlines University is one of the first aviation colleges and universities founded by the Republic itself. Its predecessor was Nanjing Aviation Industry College which was founded in October 1952 based on the 511 Factory.Its main majors are related majors in the aerospace field.

Although this school has trained a large number of top technical talents for the country, in recent years, the Ninth Academy has never accepted any students from this school.

Because the Ninth Academy does not accept any fresh graduates in missiles and fighter jets.

After the graduates enter other related units and have basic experience, they will eventually be sent to related units of the Ninth Hospital by other units, whether they are willing or reluctant.

Zhao Xi is a member of the expert team to investigate the Firebee unmanned target drone in the United States. He graduated from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 64 with a major in aerodynamics and control systems.Therefore, when the US imperialists blackmailed China at high prices, he proposed his own plan to improve Changkong-1.

Then he became the head of the entire project.

"We need more power! The aerodynamic layout has been improved, and the structure, control, fuel supply, etc. have been improved, but our drones still cannot meet our design requirements. There is still a long way to go from the American Firebee. !" Once again, Zhao Xi made a request to his team and superior authorities.

The brows of Johnson and others frowned deeply.

Because Zhao Xi wants money!

"Chief, we need more funds and more experiments to improve our design plan..." Not what Johnson thought, Zhao Xi started asking for money after introducing their situation.

Johnson suddenly looked embarrassed, "Zhao Xi, you know, we now have very little funding every year, and many projects in various departments are running up to cry poor..."

"Chief, we don't need more, just 1.8 million is enough! 1.8 million is enough for us to study for a long time. Prototypes can be produced at least three..." Knowing that funding is not easy, Zhao Xi's team also considered a lot, and then gritted their teeth and put forward the minimum funding requirements.

In the previous few years, they used only less than three million funds!

This time it is to produce a few more prototypes.

"Our Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense really has no money... Or else, let me introduce you to a unit that can provide funding for you?" Johnson was forced to do nothing. At first, he felt that the Commission There is a lot of money, but after he fully understands the work, it becomes clear that those funds are just in vain.

No wonder Qi Hao had a very relaxed expression after putting down his position.

At this time, he thought of Liu Yijiu, the unit with countless funds in his hands.

Liu Yijiu's Ninth Academy obtained an advanced missile like r-77 from the Soviets. It must be a more advanced target drone. It is time for Liu Yijiu to vomit some blood.Before the change, Johnson certainly wouldn't do such a thing, but after having been in contact with Liu Yijiu for so long, he thought that the relationship between the two parties had passed, and at the same time he learned how much money is still in the hands of the Ninth Institute.

Several large-scale weapons and equipment were exported, and the Ninth Academy held more than 20 billion in funding!

This is even more than the country's military expenditure for several years.

"Is this possible? Director Liu's stingy, everyone in the whole country knows..." Zhao Xi, knowing that he was seeking funds from Liu Yijiu who was even stingy than Zhou Pepi, immediately questioned the Commission for Science and Technology for National Defense in tears. Gangster.

Johnson did not speak, and directly called the Ninth Hospital Base, in front of Zhao Xi.

The other party's answer immediately made him feel that this was a sleepy encounter with a pillow, and the Ninth Hospital was worrying about the drone.

Immediately took Zhao Xi to Fei Rongcheng, Liu Yijiu, Long Yaohua and others were all over there.

After the meeting, the two parties introduced it, as if the men and women on blind date saw each other right, they immediately hooked up!

"Mr. Zhao, I am going to China Southern Airlines University to find you. I don't know how you have improved the technology of the Changkong-1 drone..." Liu Yijiu admired a technician like Zhao Xi very much.

In order to prevent the country from being blackmailed by the U.S. imperialism using technology, it is necessary to study the most advanced technology with the least personnel, the least research funding and the worst basic conditions. The science and technology of the Republic has been based on this for a long time. Supported by national defense science and technology workers.

"At present, our improved model has no problems in other aspects. The main reason is that the output power of the power system is not enough. In addition, the control system is not very sensitive and does not have a high-performance chip..." Zhao Xi did not expect that the rumors from the outside have always been more fierce than Zhou Peiping. Director Liu, who is more stingy, is so young.

What didn't even make him think was that Director Liu's legend seemed to be fake.

"Power system? Hasn't the turbojet -6 engine been made? How can the power system fail?" Liu Yijiu was very curious.

The improved version of Changkong No. 1 was designed and finalized in just one and a half years?

This is the Changkong-1c high-mobility model that was later used in China for many years. Why did the display tell him that this thing has not been done yet?

The industrial base and technological base of the Republic should be much more advanced than the original historical time and space.

"If the turbojet-6 is used, the control power of the control system is not enough, mainly because the radio control has a delayed response. In addition, the cost is too high..." Zhao Xi said to Liu Yijiu with some embarrassment, "The cost is too high. , Not only our research and development costs are insufficient, even the air force and air defense forces will be very expensive..."

Zhao Xi's meaning is obvious, the cost is too high, their research can't go on, and the military of the Republic can't afford it.

Liu Yijiu was stunned.

But seeing Johnson's unkind smile, he immediately understood.

This is to ask myself for funding.

"How much funding is lacking?"

"Five million..." Without waiting for Zhao Xi's answer, Johnson immediately slapped Liu Yijiu, spreading his five fingers.

Liu Yijiu did not speak, but stared at Johnson with a smile on his face, and then turned around again and asked Zhao Xi how much funding he lacked.

"We can provide high-performance control chips, and we can also provide advanced microcomputer systems. With a turbojet-6 engine, what is the cost of a target drone? How much does it cost to meet your design requirements?"

"Do you have eight-bit chips? Do you have more advanced computer systems? How much do these cost?"

Zhao Xi was surprised.

Eight-bit chips are not easy to do at all.

Many of them are smuggled in from abroad, but they cannot be bought with money.

"We can provide 16 bits. You don't need to think about the cost. You don't need to think about the computer. I need an exact data." Liu Yijiu winked at Johnson and asked Zhao Xi, who was racking his brains to calculate the appropriate budget. Tao.

Johnson couldn't help being angry.

How could it be so difficult to get some funding from Liu Yijiu!

"If the control system is not for us to intervene, even if the turbojet -6 engine is used, the cost of a target drone will not exceed 800,000. It can perform supersonic cruises at high altitudes and perform various large maneuvers during high-speed flight. Approximately two million yuan..." After a while, Zhao Xicai raised this figure with some worry.

He didn't dare to look into Johnson's eyes, even if Johnson winked and asked him to point out more, he didn't want it randomly.

After all, Liu Yijiu's Ninth Hospital is not their competent department.

"We will have someone help you work on the control system. We don't care about the other things. We will also give you the funds you need. Two million. We need two drones! This is no problem, right? It's best to be able to do it within half a year. Deliver it to us..." Liu Yijiu put forward his request.

The money of the Ninth Academy is not as difficult to get as you think.

At the same time, the money of the Ninth Academy is not as easy to get as you think.

Once the funds are received, they must provide the Ninth Hospital with what they need within the prescribed time frame.

Faced with such a question, Zhao Xi did not answer directly and quickly. After a while, he shook his head to Liu Yijiu and said, "Director Liu, to be honest, we are really short of funds. Currently our technology does not The research is successful, and how long it will take to finalize the design is simply unknown. Two million two target drones are not high, but we cannot guarantee delivery within half a year..."

Zhao Xi's words made Johnson look depressed. This is typically pedantic!

Let's get the money out of Liu Yijiu's hands first.

"Why?" Liu Yijiu admired technicians like Zhao Xi very much, but he couldn't wait endlessly.

Imitation f-14 fighters must be fully armed and exported to the Middle East as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the U.S. emperor started to clean up Saddam, the goods could not be resisted at all.

Even if he gave a lot, Saddam still couldn't resist it, but for the American emperor, it couldn't kill them, and it could make them fall off a piece of meat.

"If you replace the turbojet-6 that has just been developed in China, to meet the requirements, the structure, control, and fuel supply design of Changkong-1 must be improved, and the appearance, thrust, and cruise must be greatly improved. Yes, even if we start to manufacture prototypes according to our plan now, various tests such as high and low speed wind tunnel tests, ground simulation tests and aerial simulation tests of various systems, static strength tests and dynamic characteristics tests of aircraft structures are required. , In just six months, it is impossible to complete such a huge job..."

Zhao Xi didn't want to deceive Liu Yijiu for funding.

Otherwise, after this cooperation, you will never think about the next time.

The development of unmanned drones is not much simpler than other fighters and bombers, and even more complicated!

To achieve the flight performance of a fighter, it is necessary to use a remote control device to control the movements of the aircraft on the ground. To some extent, the requirements of this kind of drone are even higher.
