Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1152 The End of a Person

Those things will be released only when we get into the details, and by then there will be a lot of things to take.

As for now, Gao Zhendong is not without a solution.

The solution is to use his face, his own face, his golden signboard, and some conclusions that can be directly supported by visual impressions. That is enough.

The chief engineer of the Defense Work Committee stood up and said: "I suggest that the comrades of the Southwest Institute include the belly air intake and the side air intake in the scope of work in the next step, and carry out calculations, research and experiments."

In the chief engineer's opinion, Gao Zhendong's reputation is not exaggerated. He does not know everything, but as long as he takes the initiative in a field, he rarely fails.

Therefore, his suggestion seemed to be very sensible. In fact, in his mind, based on his understanding of Gao Zhendong, this approach almost determined the use of belly air intake.

Comrades all think that this is a good idea. We can still afford the extra cost. It is best to spend the money wisely.

High angle of attack performance sounds like a parameter that measures how high an aircraft can fly, but in fact, this parameter is deeply related to many indicators of the aircraft's maneuverability.

Since the belly air inlet has been calculated and evaluated by Comrade Gao Zhendong, a top aerodynamic expert, and has obvious advantages under current conditions, it might as well be given a try. Even the comrades at the Southwest Institute themselves have begun to waver.

If it weren't for the obvious advantage of the side air intakes - they are relatively ready-made, I'm afraid they would have directly switched to the belly air intake.

Gao Zhendong doesn't care about the fact that further work is needed to finalize the air intake plan. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. By the way, his comrades can also gain more design experience in the side air intake and belly air intake during their work. Isn't that wonderful?

With Gao Zhendong's support, comrades tend to be optimistic about the performance of the belly air intake. However, some comrades have long-term ideas about the marginal effects it will bring.

"Comrades, if the belly of the aircraft is inlet, will it have a certain impact on the layout of the landing gear and pylons? And thus affect the multi-purpose capability of the aircraft."

I have never worked with the belly air intake, so I'm a little unsure about its layout.

The comrade from the Southwest Institute shook his head and said, "This is not a big problem. We are developing a new aircraft, not modifying an old one. We have a relatively large degree of freedom, so we should be able to take both into account."

Gao Zhendong also shook his head, but his meaning was different from that of his colleagues from the Southwest Institute: "For this aircraft, my suggestion is to retain its multi-functional potential at the current stage, but do not consider the specific implementation of multi-functionality in early models."

Gao Zhendong's words shocked everyone, and the noise was even louder than when he shot down a double delta-wing aircraft just now.

"Don't want multi-functions?" The Air Force couldn't hold it anymore. This was not like Comrade Zhendong.

You know, it was he who proposed the concept of multi-functional fighter, and the effect was very good.

The other comrades also looked at Gao Zhendong.

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, no need for multi-functions. This is an air superiority fighter, a high-maneuverability fighter with a top speed of 2.2 Mach, a ceiling of 2 meters, and a combat radius that meets the requirements."

"why?"

"Because our engines can't handle it, we can't make heavy fighters without high-thrust engines. We have to make some trade-offs. We can't waste any kilograms of weight on this aircraft other than air combat. We can leave space and potential for multi-function in terms of configuration and mounting, but at this stage, it can't put any resources on other matters. Attack missions can be handed over to bombers, attack aircraft, and multi-function fighters, but not this air superiority fighter."

Gao Zhendong had wanted to bring up this matter a long time ago, but he never had the chance. Just as a comrade brought up the topic, he took the opportunity to bring it up.

The combined thrust of the two Phase II improved engines is expected to be similar to that of one engine on the Type 10. Its greatest success is that it can accomplish air superiority missions well with the body of a medium-light aircraft. As for other things, we will talk about it after the improved models.

F-15E: You are right!
The comrade from the Air Force fell into deep thought, and nodded after a long while: "You are right. The burden of this aircraft cannot be too heavy. Air superiority is its only mission. Without air superiority, it is useless to play with other functions."

After that, he turned to the Defense Committee and said, "I suggest that the multi-functional requirements of air superiority fighters can be cancelled at this stage, but the multi-functional potential should be retained. Comrades, you can vote on this change by raising your hands."

As comrades raised their hands one after another, the dust settled on the changes to the planned combat mission of the initial model of the air superiority fighter, which must be air superior.

"Okay, comrades, let's..." The leader of the Defense Work Committee spoke again. Just as he got to this point, he turned around and looked at Gao Zhendong: "Well, do you have anything else to say?"

I've been dodged several times and I'm afraid of it.

The comrades all laughed and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Gao Zhendong smiled and shook his head: "No more, no more."

There are many things that can be said, but there is no need to say them now. Wait until we enter the next stage or even later stages to consider them.

A twin-engine, canard-wing, belly-intake fighter, in Gao Zhendong's mind, is probably a combination of the 10th and the Typhoon, and it is definitely not bad in this era. Although the engine is a lot worse, the requirements are not that high. The engine thrust-to-weight ratio is a little worse, but as long as you are willing to give up unnecessary requirements, pure air superiority is not a big problem in this era.

In fact, Gao Zhendong was drooling over 20 Ji, but when he thought of her nickname "Eight-winged Angel", his scalp tingled. The extremely excellent and extremely complex aerodynamics and flight control were not something that could be mastered now.

If we were to tinker with a plane similar to hers now, I don't know how far we would be able to go, but it would definitely be a disaster.

Then it’s the whole youth version, no, this one is the real 20 Ji.

In this regard, a retired old man testified that 20 means double-issue 10 modifications.

Isn’t it a coincidence that the configuration of this aircraft is similar to the Type 10 aircraft decades later, and it has twin engines.

After hearing Gao Zhendong say that it was over, the leader of the Defense Work Committee said with confidence: "Okay, then we have roughly decided on the configuration of this aircraft. Comrades from the Southwest Institute can carry out the next step of work based on today's meeting."

The work on the overall plan for the air superiority fighter has come to an end. In an unknown corner, a man who is almost forgotten is also nearing the end of his social existence.

——Liu Haizhong.

Regardless of whether he is dead or alive in the end, his social existence is basically eliminated. There is a saying that goes - deprivation of XX rights.

"Liu Hai... No, Xu Junze, do you have anything else to say?"

Liu Haizhong's eyes were completely lifeless. "You should call me Liu Haizhong. The name Xu Junze has not been used for a long time. I always feel that it is not me. As for the situation, there is no more. I have confessed everything. I only ask for a way to live."

"Whether you can live or not depends on the result of the trial." The comrade interrogating you has a serious face and is not willing to lie to you.

"I have not killed anyone, nor have I passed on any valuable intelligence. I have also actively cooperated. I hope your government will show leniency to me."

"Your side? Haha... Liu Haizhong, do you know that the crime you committed is a crime of conduct, not a crime of result?"

"I know, I know, but the result will still affect the sentencing, right?" Perhaps because he had told the whole story so thoroughly, he felt a little relieved and even discussed legal issues with the interrogators.

"Let the comrades who are judging you decide your question. But I'm very curious. As a die-hard spy, why were you so serious and responsible in your work when you were working at the Third Steel Rolling Mill in Beijing? You even worked your way up to the level of a seventh-level blacksmith. This cannot be explained by your diligence in your work." Perhaps it was also because it was coming to an end, the interrogator relaxed a little and even talked about something else.

A strange smile appeared on Liu Haizhong's face, and even at this moment, his eyes were more or less spirited again: "Sir, I don't think that much. I just think that even if I want to sell it to you, the higher the value, the greater the threat, and the greater the impact, the better the price I can get, right? I think that even the Third Rolling Mill where I work must be an important unit, so its information is valuable, right? The better I can build the Third Rolling Mill, the more beneficial it will be to me, right?"

I am!

The interrogators were shocked. This guy was a spy with a sense of ownership and some pretty cool ideas.

If Gao Zhendong heard this, he would probably have to sigh in admiration. This old guy Liu Haizhong is really thoughtful. He is worthy of being a veteran spy and can grasp the essence of things.

To some extent, Liu Haizhong's idea does make sense. The greater the threat the person you want to sell out poses to his enemies, the better price you can get.

It’s a pity that such a simple truth was not understood by a certain group of people decades later.

"Don't you have any pride in being a builder?" the interrogator looked at Liu Haizhong.

The little light in Liu Haizhong's eyes brightened a little, and then went out again: "I don't know... I don't know... What's the point of saying this now."

The interrogator closed the interrogation record book, his eyes filled with contempt, anger, disdain, and even a hint of regret: "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

This is a pity for a person who has missed all opportunities to make amends. Even if this person has found what he really wants in his heart, he still lets this little light slip through his fingers.

"Bang!" Liu Haizhong was taken away and the iron door of the interrogation room was closed.
-

On the sea surface of the eastern waters, the comrades working on the island have been busy all day.

Countless biological specimens were sent back to the frigate, and the island’s first hydrological and meteorological data were also collected at the environmental monitoring station, and the comrades were reading them.

Along the two streams, two surveying teams had completed the surveying and marking work and were in the process of retreating.
