Technical analysis, seeking to revitalize China’s science and technology

Chapter 35 Extraordinary meeting of the Beijing Academy of Sciences
Beijing Academy of Sciences, conference room.

The curtains covered the windows, making the room darker. As the surveillance video finished playing, Academician Li picked up the remote control and turned off the projector's light curtain.

More than a dozen middle-aged and elderly people from the Beijing Academy of Sciences looked solemn and a little shocked. They witnessed a young man in his early 20s who was responsible for directing the auxiliary personnel to modify the frequency of the Su-27;

Including the whole process from the modified Su-27, which was officially renamed J-[-] to the successful test flight;

At this moment, more than a dozen scientists and researchers were a little emotionally unstable, because they had never seen a young man transform the Su-27 so well.

"This is the whole process of the video recording carried out by Mr. Yue. It is the entire fuselage modification of the J-[-] before it was renamed. This young man named Li Youchen was responsible for all the processes. Unfortunately, he was not present at the final test flight site. go."

"It can be seen that this young man has expected that the modified J-[-] will succeed in its test flight."

"I would like to ask, teachers, do you want this young man to be responsible for the development of fourth-generation fighter jets? Please express your opinion and make up your mind at this time."

Academician Li threw the question to them and asked them to answer it.

"Is this really a third-and-a-half-generation fighter? Is it really modified using some of the technologies of the fourth-generation fighter?"

If someone asks a question, to avoid being invisible, raise your hand.

"Yes, it is indeed a modification of the J-[-] fighter jet using some technologies from fourth-generation fighters."

"Please look at this..."

Academician Li pressed the remote control, and the light screen of the projector was projected on the screen, and the structural drawings of the fourth-generation fighter aircraft were presented in the form of diagrams.

Some people took a closer look and were shocked!It turns out that the structural content of the fourth-generation fighter is still complete. What is going on?
"I believe you have many questions, so let me answer them one by one and explain the situation."

"The construction technology of these fourth-generation fighters is basically derived from Li Youchen's original design. In private, he has been technically designing fourth-generation fighters for a long time, and he has a very personal talent for the design of fourth-generation fighters. "

"The reason why I want Li Youchen to be the main person in charge of the fourth-generation fighter project team of the Beijing Academy of Sciences is because of this situation."

"The technical manuscript of the fourth-generation fighter jet he designed is very important to us. If we provide unconditional support in terms of funds, materials, and sites, he will definitely complete the development of the fourth-generation fighter jet within time."

Academician Li explained that the core technologies of these fourth-generation fighters are all derived from Li Youchen's design, and the goal must be to make him the main person in charge of the overall development of fourth-generation fighters.

"Academician Li, the materials and venue are okay, and we can provide unconditional support. It's just funding. The budget of the Capital Academy of Sciences has never been much, and it has always been tight. The upper-level financial allocations are not rich. It is very difficult to achieve unconditional funding." .”

One of the elderly people talked about the budget situation. The Beijing Academy of Sciences could not provide unconditional financial support, not to mention that the military had special allocations to support Li Youchen's modification of the Su-27, the predecessor of the J-[-], but at the Beijing Academy of Sciences, this was not possible at all. .

"Your consideration is within the scope of my consideration. You don't need to worry about this. Most of the expenses this time will be borne by me. I only need the Beijing Academy of Sciences to support 40.00% of the budget, and I will support the remaining 60.00% of funding.”

"Everyone, is this possible?"

Academician Li thinks about the issue of financial support, so he will choose to bear more than half of the research expenses.

The director in charge of the budget of the Capital Academy of Sciences had a brief discussion with his colleagues.

The financial director immediately said: "It is feasible, and there will be no financial shortage."

Academician Li nodded. It seemed to be going very smoothly. In terms of materials and venue, we could provide unconditional support, and there was no problem with funding.

"As if none of you have any objections, I will officially announce that Li Youchen is here..."

Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly interrupted Academician Li’s unfinished words:

"I request a thorough investigation of Li Youchen's origins. Why are there technical drawings of fourth-generation fighter jets?" The speaker was a young man, in his early thirties, relatively mature and steady, but his look and eyes were full of doubts. He asked to investigate Li Youchen's origin.

He wondered whether the technical drawings of fourth-generation fighters came from overseas...?
"Regarding Li Youchen's identity, Mr. Yue and I have entrusted people from the National Security Bureau to investigate. There is no question about his origin. There is no need to worry about being a spy."

Academician Li emphasized that Li Youchen was not a spy.

"I don't believe it! How could a man in his early twenties complete the design of a fourth-generation fighter aircraft alone? It would require the efforts of many members of a dedicated research team to complete the design and development of the entire fighter jet."

"He is a young man! How is that possible?"

The questioning researcher was unwilling to believe that such a young man in his early twenties could have research capabilities comparable to that of a dedicated research team.

“What if it’s a scaled-down version of the model design?”

Academician Li mentioned a “model”.

The questioning researcher widened his eyes, trembled, and said tremblingly:

"Impossible, how could it be designed through a model..."

Academician Li looked extremely serious, "The sages who designed my country's first-generation fighter jets, in order to break the technological blockade, only through long-term research on model aircraft did they come up with my country's first- and second-generation fighters."

"Even a young man in his early twenties who has a talent for model design can still find ways to research fourth-generation fighters on third-generation fighters. I want to ask, if you want to thoroughly investigate his identity, are you? Do you want everyone here to draw attention and think that Li Youchen is a spy?"

Seeing someone's bad intentions, Academician Li pointed out and questioned him.

"I--!"

The questioning researcher was speechless, but had to admit that it was because of jealousy.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have questioned it."

The questioning researcher apologized, said no more, and then sat down.

"As for Li Youchen's origin, there is really no need for anyone to deliberately doubt it."

"I assure you that Li Youchen is neither a spy nor a trafficker. He is an authentic Chinese. He is only very talented in fighter aircraft design. It was not until I discovered his special ability at the Polytechnic University."

"In short, don't doubt it. If we want to develop the fourth-generation fighter aircraft and put them into service as soon as possible, we must support it unconditionally!" Academician Li said with some haggardness. In order to get the support of all the academicians and researchers of the Beijing Normal Academy of Sciences, the core of the fourth-generation fighter aircraft was prepared. Construction technology and others.

I want to persuade the Capital Academy of Sciences to give unconditional support.

It's not that difficult.

"It's all up to you, Academician Li. In order for the motherland's air force to have powerful enough fighters, the Beijing Academy of Sciences and you must make sure that no one is trusted and no one is trusted. To realize the thorough development and success of the fourth-generation fighter aircraft, support It’s indispensable.”

"You are the person with the most say in the Capital Academy of Sciences, so you can make the decision."

The dean has unconditional support, so he will not doubt the origin of such a talent.

"Dean, thank you."

Academician Li expressed his thanks.With the support of the dean, it can be ensured that the fourth-generation fighter development project team will receive all-round assistance in terms of funds, materials, and space before the establishment of the project team.All uncertainties were finally resolved at this meeting, and the completion of the development of fourth-generation fighters will be just around the corner.
