"What conditions?" the Iraqi looked at Xie Kai with a frown, this kid is not a good thing.

"The advance was increased to $50 million. Xie Kai said.

"What about delivery times?" Ibrahim asked. "If your delivery time can be guaranteed, we can accept such conditions. ”

Zheng Yucheng on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

With more than 50 million US dollars, he has a lot more confidence.

In addition, the $50 million for the cooperation of the Pakistanis is about to arrive, and there is 260 million yuan in the hand, and the financial pressure to build a large press will be gone.

"The first batch of 200 pieces will be delivered in three months, and the remaining ones will be delivered within a year. Xie Kai considered the production capacity of 404 and said.

The production of indium antimonide in the guidance part is difficult, coupled with the difficulty of processing the solid engine, the yield is relatively low, and it will take at least eight months to complete the delivery without expanding the production scale.

"No, we need to complete the full delivery within half a year, 100 sets within a month, 300 sets within three months, and the rest within half a year. Otherwise, we would refuse to pay so much in advance!" Ibrahim said, shaking his head.

They urgently need these missiles to increase their air defense.

Only massively possessing it when the Iranians are not yet on guard can have a huge effect.

Otherwise, their fighters do not reduce altitude, and these missiles can only be used to hit the opponent's helicopters.

"When will the advance payment arrive?" Zheng Yucheng asked after receiving Xie Kai's gesture.

"The day after signing the contract, it will be transferred to your country's account, and as for when they will be transferred to your account......" Ibrahim looked at Zheng Yucheng and said calmly.

"Okay, start with your funds coming in. Zheng Yucheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to the Iraqis, Xie Kai hinted at him on the side, there is no problem with delivering 1,000 avant-garde in half a year, otherwise where would he be guaranteed?

What is the production of avant-garde missiles, he simply does not know.

Originally, it was expected that this issue would be discussed when the contract was signed at the base.

In order to get the money of the Iraqis in advance, it is natural to consider whether their production capacity can meet within this time.

"Okay, we can both prepare the contract according to what we have negotiated, and then we will negotiate with them here and sign the contract directly with you, and talk about follow-up cooperation by the way. Ibrahim's cheerfulness made Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng unexpected.

"No problem. General, we like to work with customers like you!" Zheng Yucheng smiled and gave birth to his hand.

Ibrahim also smiled and grabbed his hand, "It's a pity that you guys are too picky, otherwise our cooperation would have been more pleasant." ”

Zheng Yucheng smiled awkwardly, shook hands, and left.

The people of Factory 132 invited them to eat hot pot at night, but Zheng Yucheng refused, and the second side didn't know if everyone had arrived.

You can eat hot pot at any time.

They are not themselves picky about food and clothing.

"Now I have the bottom of it. 100 million US dollars, although it is not enough to engage in supporting or something, but it is not a problem to only use it to build large presses. On the way out, Zheng Yucheng said with a smile.

Xie Kai ignored him, directly put down the co-pilot's position, and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

He had to think about how he could reach out to Factory 132 for the Iraqis project to make the Thunder appear faster.

Factory 132 must be prevented from seeking cooperation with Grumman.

Grumman's idea of improving the design is correct, but without such an advanced engine as the F404 from the United States, everything is in vain.

The honeymoon period with the Americans is not too long, and the other side will not sincerely cooperate with the Chinese side at all.

The $550 million for Project 82 was paid to the Americans before the cooperation, and eventually the two sides stopped cooperating, and the J-8II did not achieve the expected performance.

Hundreds of millions of dollars of funds have also been taken away by the Americans.

"The thrust of the bass engine is similar to that of the RD-93 turbofan engine used in the MiG-29, which is something we can make a fuss about when we engage in projects. The only thing that doesn't work is that the localization of bass engines has always been a problem. Xie Kai muttered to himself.

"What are you muttering, boy? If you want to sleep, go to sleep, if you don't sleep, you can drive. Zheng Yucheng heard Xie Kai muttering, frowned and asked.

The Rongcheng Plain is located at the bottom of the basin, and it is only a little more than five o'clock in the sky, and everywhere is beginning to become gray, which makes Xie Kai, who came from the northwest, very difficult to accept.

The air is too humid, and there is no heating to sleep at night, and the chill is completely different from that in the north, and it is very uncomfortable.

Zheng Yucheng is also a little uncomfortable.

So, he wished that Xie Kai would drive, and he would go to sleep.

"Old Zheng, do you know what's going on with the bass engine now?" Xie Kai sat up and asked Zheng Yucheng.

"What kind of engine is that?" Zheng Yucheng didn't understand what Xie Kai asked for a while, "Yun Shi's engine is an imitation of the American JT3D engine, and that thing is originally civilian, and it is used in bombers at most." ”

"Didn't China import Rolls-Royce military engines from Britain back then, what happened to that thing?" Xie Kai asked.

"I don't know, I have to ask Xifei over there, they are doing this, Qin Fei probably doesn't know very well. Zheng Yucheng shook his head, "Do you really have any ideas about cooperating with the Iraqi plane?"

"It depends on their engine. Xie Kai sighed.

The imitation model of the bass engine is the turbofan-9 in China, which is used to equip the J-7, and it took 30 years to complete the localization.

The current J-7 is supported by dozens of engines imported from the UK.

Anyway, it still can't be used.

"Heart disease is always a big problem if it is not solved. Zheng Yucheng also sighed, "Long Yaohua came to me before, saying that when the big press comes out, I have to provide them with turbine disc superplastic processing ...... first."

"Are they becoming more active?" Xie Kai snorted coldly.

The big press is obviously the basic equipment, and the stakes are significant, but in the end, it is not dismounted?

"The military can't help it. If it weren't for a lot of business, do you think I would really spend so much money just for our Yun Ten Project?" Zheng Yucheng's words made Xie Kai look at him for a while.

However, it was already late, and I couldn't see his expression clearly.

"On the engine, there are many key components that cannot provide the strength to meet the design requirements in China, so the progress in this area is very slow. There is the idea of a big press, on the one hand, it is related to our Yun Shi project, and on the other hand, this is it. Plus there are already drawings in China, and they only need to be produced......"

"The military is willing to take on the basic investment department, that is, for this?" Xie Kai finally understood why the military took the initiative to take it.

If the military doesn't pay for it, and when the time comes, 404 says that they won't process it, and they can only wait.

Use the superior's life to press?

This is really not very easy to make.

Even if the surface agrees, there is no arrangement in production, and it is normal to delay it for a year or two.

How big can a large press be?

"Or would they be so positive?" Mr. Zheng said. "Therefore, it is not your mind and mine to solve the problem of heart disease, and the senior leaders are also worried about this matter. ”

At present, there are three kinds of engines in China, and the turbofan-6 is for the J-9, and now the J-9 is dismounted, and the turbofan-6 has lost its applicable object, so naturally there is no investment, and it is also dismounted.

Turbofan-8, an imitation of the American JT3D, is matched for Yun Shi, and Yun Shi is dismounted, which is also the place where it is used.

Only the turbofan-9, the bass MK202 military engine has a bright future in China.

The J-7 is counting on the bass to provide strong power.

The speed of the H-5 and H-6 is too slow; the speed of the supersonic Qiang-5 is too slow, the range is too short, and the bomb load is only 2,000 kilograms.

But the leopard master's heart will not be good until twenty years later, so can he make Xiaolong wait so long?

Xie Kai was a little worried.

"Why don't we also engage in engines?" continue to invest in turbofan-6?" Zheng Yucheng asked cautiously after hearing Xie Kai's concerns.

"No money. Xie Kai didn't even think about refusing.

One project after another, not a good thing.

"Didn't the Iraqis cooperate with Factory 132? "Without an engine, they can't make a good fighter, can they? You can't use a turbojet engine to do this, right?"

Zheng Yucheng's words made Xie Kai also moved.

After thinking about it, he thought it was better to forget it, and said with a wry smile, "Aero engines are not tank engines, this thing has too much investment, and the Iraqis are not stupid, they should not be willing to throw money into it." ”

"You have to give it a try, don't you?" Zheng Yucheng said as he licked his lips, "There is no engine, they are an advanced fighter with a fart." No matter how the J-7 is upgraded, it can be compared with the most advanced fighters of others?"

It's not that Xie Kai is not moved, but the investment in aero engines is too big.

A turbofan engine costs millions of dollars.

The turbofan-6 was originally an imitation, or something from the sixties, and if it is not improved, it is basically impossible to use it on the Thunder.

Unless it's a turbofan-6G, with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 7.05, no one knows if this data is real.

The only thing to do is to start with the bass engine.

The bass engine is not much different from the RD-29 used in the MiG-33.

"Even if you build an engine, you have to wait until the big press gets it. However, it is possible to design a better engine before the big press is produced...... Xie Kai said, "I think we should still look for domestic engine models." ”

Looking for an engine from abroad, you can't get your hopes up at all.

The Americans are uneasy to cooperate with China, and the Soviet Union has not collapsed, and they are still arrogant.

"Aren't we solving the big press matter now? We can have it in two or three years at most!" Zheng Yucheng said with certainty.
