Chapter 620 I Want All the Good Things
The three-day flight test was very effective, and the X-01 demonstrated strong performance. At least as far as fighter jets of this era are concerned, the X-01 belongs to the first echelon and is at the world's leading level.

With advanced fighter jets, troubles also come along.

These troubles were not brought to Luo Nianzhong, but to the equipment department.

“Remove the two engines and convert it into a land-based version?

Don't even think about it, don't forget how much money we invested in the development of the J10."

"Yes, we have invested a lot of research and development funds for J10, but we are still just working on the drawings. No one knows when we can start manufacturing the prototype, and no one knows when mass production will take place."

In 1982, General Song proposed a plan for the third-generation fighter jet.

In 1986, the state approved the development of the third-generation fighter jet, named J10.

But seven years have passed, and the J10 is still on paper. It remains to be seen when it can be manufactured and when it can be mass-produced.

Also, based on the data we have now, even if the J10 is developed and mass-produced, its performance will not be better than the X-01. By that time, the X-02 may have come out, so the Air Force will definitely want to be the first to equip itself with the current X-01.

"Don't forget the range problem of the X-01, which is a fatal flaw for the Air Force."

"That's why I said let the Binhai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory develop the land version."

The Air Force can't fool this question.

“Yes, the X-01’s range is only a little over half of that of the J10, which is a fatal flaw for the Air Force.

Don't forget that the X-01's two auxiliary engines are for vertical take-off and landing. The Navy needs them, but we don't.

I asked someone and found out that if the two auxiliary engines of the X-01 are removed, the range can reach at least 2500 kilometers, which exceeds the 10 kilometers of the J2350.

The key point is that I heard that Luwu Equipment Research and Development Company has made breakthroughs in imitating R27 and R73? It’s not enough to have a plane without a strong fist, right? "

This can be regarded as speaking of Minister Zhao's pain. Rabbit's air-to-air missiles have always had a difficult development history. Later, the famous Pl series can be said to have had a tragic fate.

The earliest Pl-01 was actually based on the K-5m technology of Polar Bear, but it encountered many technical challenges in the process of imitation and could not solve problems such as off-target.

And just like that, despite great efforts, it ended in failure.

In 1964, during the Vietnam War, the Rabbit anti-aircraft artillery unit accidentally discovered the remains of the American sparrow, which provided a new direction for the Rabbit.

Unfortunately, the American sparrow used sophisticated radar technology and advanced control circuits. Regardless of whether they could be copied, these two technologies were huge mountains that the rabbits at the time could not climb over.

In 1966, the Pl550 type B, developed with reference to the French R5, finally bore fruit after 20 years of hard work, but it had become an outdated product as soon as it was mass-produced.

Compared with Luwu Equipment Research and Development Company's R27 and the more advanced R73, the current Rabbit air-to-air missile is at least one era behind.

“But you have to know that X-01 was designed for the navy from the beginning. It will take several years to improve it. After all, the current X-01 is still in testing and has not yet been mass-produced.

Moreover, a huge amount of money has been invested in the J10 project, so it is impossible to abandon it."

"Hey, this is easy. I've already called Lu Wu, and Mr. Luo agreed to let Lu Wu improve the design right now. I believe it won't take long to develop it.

And can the J10 be improved slowly? Now that we have the X-01 as a reference, it should be of great reference value to them, right? "

"Nonsense." Minister Zhao thought it was unreasonable.

Now we already have carrier-based aircraft, which are the most advanced in the world. This can greatly increase the combat range of Rabbit. It is surprising that we are distracted if we don't fully promote the current naval version.

"I can understand that although the X-01 can take off and land vertically, we don't have an aircraft carrier after all. Only battleships can accommodate a few of them.

Relatively speaking, the Air Force's order is undoubtedly much larger."

Minister Zhao glanced at the other party, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me tell you a piece of news. The Dallion Shipyard is ready to build an aircraft carrier."

"What?" the other party exclaimed, "Where did Dallion Shipyard get the technology?"

"Ermao's technology is not only technology, the Black Sea Shipyard will also send people to participate in the whole process." The Black Sea Shipyard has an unfinished aircraft carrier, but it is impossible to sell it to Rabbit at this point in time. Neither Rabbit nor Ermao can withstand international pressure.

"That shouldn't be the case. From the tone of my conversation with Mr. Luo, I can tell that he doesn't seem to be very positive about the current Navy version of the X-01. On the contrary, he is more interested in our Air Force's ideas."

"Huh?" Minister Zhao immediately noticed something was wrong.

Minister Zhao was originally puzzled by Luo Nianzhong's agreement with the Air Force, and now it seems that there is something fishy going on.

"Let's talk about the Air Force later. I have some other things to deal with now."

The other party also understood that there was something complicated going on, so he turned around and left without bothering me any further.

After sitting in the chair and thinking for a while, Minister Zhao picked up the phone and dialed, "Ask Director Wang and Director He to come to my office."

Three minutes later, Director Wang and Director He, the director and deputy director of the Equipment Department in charge of naval equipment procurement, walked into Minister Zhao's office one after another.

"Tell me about Luwu Equipment R&D Company."

Regardless of whether it was fake or not, Director Wang and Director He looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why they had to come to them for such a matter.

However, Minister Zhao has spoken, so Director Wang, the head of naval procurement, must return.

"Luwu Equipment R&D Company is a joint venture between us and the Far East Group. Each party holds half of the shares, but the operating rights and management rights are in the hands of the other party.

The two sides agreed to jointly set aside a sum of money each year for Luwu Equipment Research and Development Company to use in developing the most advanced weapons and equipment.

"How much research and development funding did we approve for Luwu this year?"

"Uh," Director Wang paused, "last year it was 5600 million, with each party contributing 2800 million."

Minister Zhao's eyes narrowed and he stared at Director Wang without saying a word.

Last year? What about this year? Such a big thing cannot be done without the signature of a senior director like you. Your failure to answer this question already indicates a lot of problems.

He turned to look at Director He who had been silent the whole time, "I remember you were the one who was in charge of Luwu before, right?"

"That's right, Minister, but since last year I have not been responsible for Luwu's specific matters."

"why?"

"Because of lack of money, Director Wang felt that it was a waste to invest money in Luwu Equipment R&D Company last year, so he stopped the investment."

"What? So, Luwu has been paying for the past two years at the expense of the Far East Group? This is simply nonsense."

The last sentence was directed to Director Wang, obviously expressing dissatisfaction with his unauthorized behavior.

"Wang Changgui, Wang Changgui, you have invested three consecutive years in the early stage and are about to reap the rewards, but you give up halfway?

Let's take a step back and say, do you know what kind of existence the Hong Kong Island Luo family is? Even if there is no result and it loses money every year, so what? Do you know how much value the Far East Group can create for us every year? "

Seeing that Wang Changgui didn't say anything, Minister Zhao didn't have the leisure to scold him, "When you go back, make up the funding for me for the past two years."

"what".

"Ah what? Is there a problem?"

"Minister, it's the end of the year already and the two-year budget is over 50 million. Where can I find such a large sum of money?"

Minister Zhao's chest heaved at Wang Changgui's anger, and now he wanted to kick him to death.

"I'll find a way to pay for the money. Director He will be in charge of Lu Wu's affairs from now on and he'll be directly responsible to me."
