Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1996
"I can only say give it a try, and the price will be very high." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "In addition, I still need some time, at least half a year before I have news. In addition, sometimes Some intelligence and personnel support from the state may be required..."

In fact, Duan Yun is certain about getting the data of Figure 160, but he is definitely not absolutely sure.

Because among the former Soviet experts currently joining Tianyin Group, nearly one-third of the experts are from Ukraine, and compared with those experts from Russia, Ukrainian experts seem to be more enthusiastic about coming to China, and they are also more talkative.

In fact, the Ukrainian experts who came to China in the early days could be said to be responsive to China’s requests, and answered all questions about some of the relevant technologies they had mastered, while the Russian experts seemed to have received very strict secrecy System, so when designing some very confidential military technology, it becomes less straightforward.

Moreover, compared with the Russians, the Ukrainians seem to want to get rid of the system and model of the former Soviet Union. In their view, peaceful development is the mainstream of the world, and military technology is the lock that prevents them from going to the "free world". The secrecy awareness of military technology is even weaker, and there is no deep understanding of the importance of military technology.

During the Soviet period, the main production enterprises of Tu 160 were located in Ukraine, followed by Russia, and the enterprises responsible for the production of avionics and navigation equipment were mainly located in Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia in the Baltic Sea.No one thought at the time that the USSR would eventually collapse from within, so such a distribution of industrial enterprises seemed reasonable.

However, when the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, Russia, which inherited most of the territory of the Soviet Union, was unable to independently produce the map-160 bomber.

Among the Ukrainian experts who came to Tianyin Group, some of them had worked in the production enterprises of Tu-160. The NK-160 engine of Tu-32 was produced by Ukrainian Motor Sich. The important parts and components of 160 are also produced in Ukraine.

Among them, Ukrainian Motor Sich Company Haotong was the "power tsar" of the former Soviet Union.

Motor Sich, referred to as "Sich", located in Zaporozhye, Ukraine, is a world-renowned engine manufacturer, mainly providing power systems for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.As early as the Soviet period, its products were exported to more than 90 countries, and it was known as the "heart of the Soviet aviation industry".

Aviation engine technology is known as the pearl in the field of aviation industry. At present, there are only a handful of countries in the world that have mastered engine development and manufacturing technology. The Soviet aviation industry can compete with the United States on the same stage, and even some aircraft projects that even the United States are amazing , For example, the most famous An-225 transport aircraft, this transport aircraft is currently the model with the largest take-off weight in the world. Currently, only Ukraine owns one, and the engine it uses comes from Motor Sich Aviation Development Company.

But now this company has a serious corruption problem. If Duan Yunxiang has some drawings and materials, he only needs to contact his old colleagues and bosses through the Ukrainian technicians of his company. As long as the price is right, the drawings of the important parts of Figure 160 And technical information should be available in hand.

However, this matter is also very risky. The main reason is that according to Duan Yun's understanding, Motor Sich is currently under strict protection by the Ukrainian security department, and there are also American and European spies infiltrating inside. Stealing technical information is not an easy task.

But under the so-called heavy reward, there must be a brave man. As long as the price is high enough for him, then someone will take the risk. After all, the current economic situation in Ukraine is not optimistic, and Madasic itself has business problems. Said it was the best opportunity.

"As long as the relevant technical information is indeed valuable, the country will not make you pay for nothing," Xu Shaoqiang said.

"In the future, I will arrange someone to handle this matter. Once there is news, I will call you immediately." Duan Yun said.

"This matter is of great importance. You should take it seriously. If you can really get the technical information of this strategic bomber, it will be of great significance to the military development of our country in the future." Xu Shaoqiang said seriously.

"Understood." Duan Yun nodded in response.

In fact, in Duan Yun's opinion, even if the technical information of Figure 160 can be obtained, it is still impossible to manufacture it in a short time based on the current capabilities of China's heavy industry, because many of the key parts of Figure 160's body are too large. Big, very difficult to make.

For example, the components of the variable-sweeping wing of Tu-160 were produced in a special workshop at a huge expense in the Soviet era. This part is 12.4 meters long and 2.1 meters wide. The upper and lower parts are welded. This technology can be called the treasure of the Kazan factory, but this welding consumes a lot of power. It consumes half of the electricity in Kazan city once it is started, so it is produced late at night.

With such technical difficulty and production scale, not to mention China, even the United States would spend an astronomical amount of money to build a strategic bomber of the same size. Otherwise, even Britain, France, and Germany, which are currently the most powerful in military, economy, and technology, do not have the ability to independently manufacture this kind of aircraft.

But in any case, if this information can be obtained, even if the country cannot build such a strategic bomber, many of its related technologies are worthy of study and reference by domestic military experts. If they can fully understand this set of technologies, then China's military aircraft The manufacturing level will jump a huge step.

Later, Duan Yun chatted with Xu Shaoqiang about some of his thoughts. The meal didn't end until after ten o'clock in the evening. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Shaoqiang simply stayed at Duan Yun's house for one night until the next day. Only left in the morning.

In the next week, Duan Yun has to wait for news from Xu Shaoqiang, so he cannot leave BJ yet.

Every morning through his assistant Guo Kai, Duan Yun has to deal with some company affairs, and when he is free in the afternoon, he goes to Zhongguancun to find Li Yunpeng, rides in his sports car and circles BJ together, and at night, finds a restaurant to drink together, Small talk, pass the time.

Compared with Duan Yun, Li Yunpeng's life is much more chic. Now Li Yunpeng is approaching 30 years old, but he has never been married. The girlfriends around him change more diligently than clothes. They are either actors of a song and dance troupe or flight attendants of some airlines , one is more beautiful than the other, but the relationship has never been long, and there is no intention of talking about marriage at all.

In fact, Duan Yun also knows that for a person like Li Yunpeng, his marriage partner is not something he can decide...
