Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle.

Chapter 162 Mr. Qian’s Discovery (Subscription Request)

"I didn't expect that they could actually accomplish this?"

Director Nie also knew about Feng Fei's decision to design and develop our own jet engine.

Not only do people know about it, but they also attach great importance to it, making people pay close attention to the design and development progress of this engine.

When the design was completed and the technical parameters and drawings were sent to the data processing institute for calculation, not only Shenfei's researchers, but also Director Nie was very concerned about the final calculation results.

After Yang Ning finished processing the data of this engine and put forward his own modification suggestions, the information was immediately sent to Director Nie.

At this time, in Director Nie's office, not only himself, but also Mr. Qian was there.

After reading the information, Director Nie handed it to Mr. Qian: "Take a look and see if we can design a heavy fighter of our own with this engine?"

"Our vast territory means we must have our own fighter jet with a long range and large payload to maintain our vast airspace."

"Big Brother may be able to relax in other aspects, but it is difficult when it comes to heavy fighter jets!" said Director Nie.

The reason why Mr. Qian is here is not because Director Nie specifically asked him to consult on this drawing.

Didn’t we trade two big firecrackers with Big Brother before? Now these two big firecrackers are about to arrive. In addition, the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics has been approved for establishment. As the vice president, Mr. Qian naturally has to report to his direct supervisor.

Unexpectedly, he was drafted into the army just after he finished his report and before he could leave.

Although Mr. Qian is not a specialist in aircraft research, as an authority in the field of aerodynamics, he still knows some basic principles.

Especially the engine. After all, missiles also use turbojet engines. Although the technical requirements of missiles for engines are not that strict, the basic principles are still the same.

"Then I'll take a look and see what good things our comrades have come up with."

Dean Qian smiled at Director Nie, took the information and read it carefully.

At first, Mr. Qian looked relaxed, but after seeing the original technical drawings and Yang Ning's modification suggestions, his expression gradually became serious.

As an expert in the aviation field, he could see the characteristics of this engine at a glance.

Although the performance parameters of this engine may not be as good as its big brother P-13, that is only because of the different emphasis, not the design concept.

Although this engine is a redesign based on its big brother AM-9B engine, it is completely different.

Mr. Qian discovered that as long as the structure of this engine is slightly modified, it can be used in the missiles that we are about to develop.

Of course, this is just his guess. Whether it will work or not still requires careful research and calculation.

However, for a big shot like him, just a guess is enough to attract attention.

"Why, is it not possible? I am too greedy! After all, each engine is suitable for different aircraft models. How can this engine be used to manufacture heavy fighters?"

Director Nie saw that Mr. Qian had not spoken for a long time and thought that his suggestion was a bit presumptuous. Fearing that Mr. Qian would be embarrassed, he smiled and said something.

"No, I can't tell whether this engine is suitable for heavy fighters, but I feel that as long as we improve the structure of this engine, it seems that it can be used as the engine for our missiles!"

Mr. Qian frowned, apparently still thinking about how to improve this engine so that it could be used on missiles.

"Really!" Director Nie asked excitedly after hearing Mr. Qian's words.

I originally thought he was just daydreaming, but unexpectedly there is a silver lining.

Even if this engine cannot be used on other fighter jets, it would be a huge gain if it can be used on missiles.

"We haven't seen the two big firecrackers of this old man yet, it looks like our engine will come out first!"

"It's not certain yet. I have to go back and calculate it carefully." Mr. Qian said embarrassedly. This was just a guess. It would be embarrassing if it turned out to be a false alarm.

"It's okay. Since you feel it can work, then I also think it has a great chance of working! It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. After all, we have no idea about this. Don't be afraid of failure. There is no such thing as a research that will succeed in just one try. Just try it boldly. It doesn't matter if you fail." Director Nie laughed and said nonchalantly.

"Yes!" Seeing this, Mr. Qian felt Director Nie's strong expectations and said solemnly.

Then he looked at the blueprint and said, "As for whether it can be transformed into an engine for a heavy fighter, there are too many areas involved in aircraft design. I am not an expert in this field. You need to discuss it with experts in the field of aircraft design."

"Okay, for the missile engine, you need to come up with the results as soon as possible. As for the aircraft engine, I will consult with other experts."

"But you can't take this blueprint away now!"

Director Nie saw that Mr. Qian was holding the drawings and was reluctant to put them down, so he smiled and reminded him.

"How can I calculate without a blueprint?" Mr. Qian asked Director Nie in confusion.

"I can't keep this blueprint for long. I have to send it back to Fengfei tomorrow. They are still waiting for this blueprint to start trial production!"

"I plan to arrange for someone to draw it overnight and give you a copy then."

"Okay!" Mr. Qian returned the drawings to Director Nie and said goodbye quickly.

Now his mind was full of thoughts on improving the missile engine. Although the technical drawings would not be available until tomorrow, he had to write down his inspiration quickly, lest he forget it later.

In the evening, just after Yang Ning got off work and had dinner, Mr. Qian came to his house.

"Mr. Qian, what are you doing?" Yang Ning asked puzzledly when he saw Mr. Qian.

"Yinghong, pour Mr. Qian a cup of tea!"

Before Hu Yinghong stood up, Mr. Qian waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me. I came to see Yang Ning for something. Let's talk at my house."

"Okay!" Yang Ning put on his coat and followed Mr. Qian out.

Hu Yinghong looked at the two people who left, smiled helplessly and shook her head.

"Really? There's no stopping for even a moment!"

When they arrived at Mr. Qian's house, Yang Ning first greeted Ms. Jiang, and then was pulled into Mr. Qian's study.

As soon as Yang Ning entered, he saw the desk covered with scattered manuscript papers.

After Mr. Qian sorted out the manuscripts, Ms. Jiang came in and brought the two of them a cup of tea, smiled apologetically at Yang Ning, and then left.

"Take a look first and help me check these calculations."

Yang Ning took the manuscript in confusion and looked at the simple structural diagram and technical parameters on it. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked. "Isn't this the data on the technical drawing that Feng Fei sent me this morning? How did Mr. Qian know about it?"

Yang Ning raised his head and looked at Mr. Qian puzzledly.

"Yes, it's Feng Fei's engine drawing data." Mr. Qian nodded calmly, then smiled and said, "This drawing was sent to Director Nie after you processed it."

"Director Nie originally asked me to see if we could develop an engine suitable for heavy fighter jets based on that engine."

"Indeed, given our land area, we do need a heavy fighter." Yang Ning nodded in understanding after hearing Mr. Qian's explanation.

He didn't think about it at first. After all, Feng Fei only wanted to use this engine on Liu Ye. He just calculated the data and found that there was no problem. He gave his opinion based on the calculation results and then didn't pay any more attention to it.

"It shouldn't be possible, right? After all, this engine is used on light supersonic fighters, and it shouldn't match the requirements of heavy fighters?" Yang Ning said after thinking about it.

"The original design by Feng Fei is indeed not good, but didn't you notice their design concept?"

"Although I don't know whether that engine can be transformed into an engine for a heavy fighter, I feel that if it is modified a little bit, it can definitely be used on missiles."

"That's why I called you over here. Some of these manuscripts are my revised ideas. Please help me calculate them."

Yang Ning held the manuscript paper in his hand and suddenly felt a little bit amused. Yang Ning thought he was calling him because of something urgent, but it turned out that he wanted him to work overtime!

But seeing Mr. Qian taking out the manuscript paper and starting to work under the light, Yang Ning resisted the urge to complain and silently picked up the manuscript paper and started to calculate.

Because this was just a manuscript paper, sometimes Yang Ning couldn't figure out which formula or model to put some data into, so he would take the manuscript paper to Mr. Qian for advice from time to time.

Every time at this time, Mr. Qian would patiently explain to Yang Ning...

"Bang bang bang~"

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted their thoughts.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yang Ning frowned slightly, looked up at the door, and then seemed to think of something, and his brows immediately relaxed again.

When Mr. Qian heard the knock on the door, he stood up helplessly, glanced at his watch, and said to Yang Ning apologetically: "Time flies so fast. It's almost two o'clock without me noticing."

"Okay, that's enough for tonight. You should go back and rest."

"I know. I'll go first then." After saying that, Yang Ning wrote down the last piece of data, put down the paper and pen in his hand and said with a smile.

Sure enough, when Yang Ning came out of the study, he saw Ms. Jiang still tidying up things in the living room.

After seeing Yang Ning, Ms. Jiang stood up and said to Yang Ning apologetically, "Mr. Qian, you really don't let you go home so late. Do you not plan to let you go to work?"

Then she took out a bag of cakes and stuffed them into his hand: "Take these to fill your stomach first."

At this time, Yang Ning also admired Ms. Jiang. At first, Yang Ning thought she was urging Mr. Qian to rest, but it turned out that she was worried about affecting his work!

Although he didn't know what she was thinking, Yang Ning felt very warmed when he heard these words.

After Yang Ning returned home, he found that the lights in his house were also on. For a moment, Yang Ning was stunned. He looked at the light coming through his window downstairs for a while and let out a deep breath.

"Are you back?" Hu Yinghong, who was dozing on the sofa, woke up immediately when she heard the door open.

After seeing Yang Ning, the fatigue on his face disappeared, and he looked at Yang Ning and said softly.

"Yeah!" Yang Ning nodded, walked up to her, and gently gathered the hair beside her ears: "If you are tired, go to bed first. I will go to bed right after taking a shower!"

"Yeah! Sister Jiang came to accompany me before, helped me cook, and then left. She just left a while ago, and the rice is in the pot. Remember to eat before going to sleep."

Hu Yinghong knew that Yang Ning must have something to deal with once he went out. If he didn't eat something, he might wake up hungry before dawn, so she prepared a midnight snack for him in advance.

But Yang Ning didn't expect Ms. Jiang to be so thoughtful. Seeing Mr. Qian bothering Yang Ning after get off work, she even came over to accompany Hu Yinghong.

Yang Ning slept very soundly that night and did not have any dreams.

But when he opened his eyes the next day, he immediately realized something was wrong. He felt around and found that Hu Yinghong was gone.

Yang Ning quickly looked up at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already past ten o'clock.

"You didn't even bother to call me. Now I'm going to be late."

After getting up and getting dressed, I found the note left by Hu Yinghong in the living room.

"Since you were sleeping soundly, I didn't disturb you. The rice is warming up in the pot. Remember to eat it when you get up.

Don't worry about being late, I will ask Uncle Yang for leave for you."

Looking at the note, Yang Ning showed a warm smile on his face.

After carefully putting the note away, Yang Ning was no longer in a hurry. After washing up, he ate his meal leisurely before going to work.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yang Ning saw a "Jinggangshan" driving out of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The "Jinggangshan" car has been in production for nearly half a year now. The Second Automobile Works has also added several new production lines, and its production capacity has been greatly improved.

So now the leaders’ special cars are gradually being equipped. Not only that, this car has also been sold to other countries after being revamped.

It is said that the factory in Guangdong Province will soon be completed and put into production.

Although we have lost the market to our big brother, this car has slowly started to generate foreign exchange for us.

Although we now have the foreign exchange gold mine "Shenbao", this car represents the crystallization of our industrial technology and is our current business card, so we have never relaxed the production and promotion of this car.

Originally, Yang Ning thought that the leader had come to inspect the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and was secretly sighing his bad luck when he was caught by the leader the first time he went to work.

Just as he was thinking about how to avoid it, he didn't expect the car to stop right next to Yang Ning.

Just when Yang Ning was thinking about how to review his speech, the car window rolled down and Dean Guo's bright smiling face appeared from inside.

"Young comrade, are you late?" Seeing Yang Ning who had not yet entered the room, Dean Guo guessed that he was late, so he immediately put away his smile, put on a serious face and asked knowingly.

Seeing that it was Dean Guo, Yang Ning was no longer nervous. He smiled and walked forward to pat the shiny car body, and said in surprise: "Wow, I haven't seen you for a while. You have upgraded your guns to cannons. You even ride this thing?"
