"What, it's been so long, Wang Hao doesn't know where to go, what are you doing? Besides, wasn't it just to stimulate you back then, if it wasn't exciting, would our base be where it is today......?" Zheng Yucheng blushed and quickly retorted.

Xie Kai looked at him with a look of contempt, "Obviously, I used my power for personal gain, and I wanted to promote my son-in-law, so I had to find another excuse...... It's just that the people in our base are stupid, so they don't care. ”

Zheng Yucheng's face was already black, but now it is about to swell and bleed, and he can't see it anyway.

"Actually, it's not that everyone can't see it, it's just that they don't say it. Xie Kai plucked his nostrils, ignored Zheng Yucheng, and looked at Xiong Hongyuan, who was looking over here, with a complicated mind, was really shocked this time.

He heard what Zheng Yucheng said to Xie Kai.

Why does Zheng Yucheng believe in Xie Kai so much?

"This was the first prototype, and now the main structural components of the body are being assembled. Xiong Hongyuan pointed to the body of the fighter that had not yet been equipped with wings and tail and introduced to Xie Kai and the others.

"Has the prototype for the static pressure test been completed?" Xie Kai looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see any characteristics of this fighter.

The conical radome in the nose is not fitted, and the wings are not fitted, just such a slightly rounded fuselage......

The only difference from the two improved J-7 on the opposite side is that the air intakes of this fighter are under the wings on both sides, and it is no longer the appearance of the nose air intake before, but now it is not visible at all.

On the surrounding material shelves, there are all kinds of spare parts, and if they are not assembled, it is impossible to distinguish what they are used for.

"Yes, in the dedicated static pressure load test, in another workshop. Xiong Hongyuan nodded.

"Let's go, go see that, and look at the models of the two wind tunnel tests. Xie Kai said.

Zheng Yucheng still didn't see anything.

That's it?

"What's so nice about this? What can you see? The prototype used for static pressure testing, although it can't fly, you can see the shape, aerodynamic layout, etc.," Xie Kai said.

The model is almost completely state, except that some functions can't be seen, and it can't fly, at least, you can know whether this fighter that has completely changed its appearance is the fighter Xie Kai wants.

Zheng Yucheng couldn't refute it.

Under the leadership of Xiong Hongyuan, he went to another test workshop.

Although the distance is relatively far, there is no car.

"The fighters on the airport outside are all J-7s, right? Director Xiong, what about our batch of J-6 fighters that need to be refurbished?" Xie Kai did not see the J-6 in the workshop, nor did he see it at the airport.

J-6: That's what he prepared for Africa.

Zheng Yucheng got some Jian-6 fighters from the Air Force that were about to be retired, and many of those fighters needed to be refurbished, otherwise they would break down in a short time and could not be used in combat.

"Yes, Lao Wang also said that all the retired fighters from the Air Force have been shipped?" Zheng Yucheng also asked.

Only then did I remember the refurbishment of the J-6.

People bought it with gold.

"It's in the hangar on the other side. J-6 has long stopped production, but fortunately, spare parts and everything are in production, and the problem is not very big. Xiong Hongyuan grinned, "The work of the Super Seven team is mainly in the workshop over there. ”

"Specially built a workshop for Chaoqi?" Zheng Yucheng immediately became happy, "This is good!

I said hello a few times in a row.

On the airport runway outside the assembly plant, there are several J-7s that I don't know if they have been repaired or just assembled, and they are flying test, and the engines are roaring, taking off or landing on the airport runway from time to time.

"This was requested by Director Wang Guilin at the beginning. It just so happened that our production line was adjusted, and military products were separated from civilian products......" Pointing to the distance that can barely be seen at the other end of the airport runway, Xiong Hongyuan introduced.

It was also a production workshop for the assembly of fighter jets, but as the country reduced orders, the production of fighters became less.

Factory 132 naturally can't let go of a big financier like 404.

After walking for a while, hundreds of meters away, I arrived at a new factory building with a light steel structure at the very edge.

This factory is no longer the appearance of the Soviet-style brick and wood structure with mottled traces of time next to it, but a light steel structure.

It's not that Factory 132 has no money?

Such a large new factory was built.

"This workshop is for the Super Seven Project, the production line and the laboratory are in it, and even the engines that are coming back now are also in this workshop. Xiong Hongyuan pointed to the introduction.

took Xie Kai and the two into the workshop, the workshop was much larger than the workshop they entered at the beginning, but it seemed more crowded and dense than the other workshop. Inside are two dense and neatly arranged J-6 and J-5.

The J-6 is very recognizable, and the nose air intake mode of the MiG-15 is larger than that of the J-7, and Xie Kai recognized it at a glance.

As for the strong five, in this era, among the fighters equipped by China, there are really not too many air intakes on both sides.

"Qiang Wu also has a problem?" Xie Kai frowned and saw it.

Although the fighters sold to Africa were old for many years, he did not want these fighters to end up with a bad reputation because of their quality.

The Qiang-5 is a strong attack aircraft specially used for ground attack, this kind of fighter, the Republic began to design and study in the late fifties, the first flight was completed in the sixties, and the batch production of the troops began in 68 years, until the last one was delivered at the end of 2012, and it has served in the Chinese Air Force for more than 60 years.

It is also a fighter that cannot be bypassed in the history of the development of the Chinese Air Force.

Although its performance is not as good as that of the American ground attack aircraft A-10, for a long time, it has been the main ground attack model of the Chinese Air Force and naval aviation, and there is no one.

This kind of fighter is exported to Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and other countries, and one fighter can cost millions of dollars.

Now that Xie Kai has sold this kind of fighter to Africa, he naturally attaches importance to it at home.

"This is the first batch of attack aircraft delivered in China in the sixties, and the service life is about to expire, and the weapon mounting system is too backward. Huo Haiyuan, who came over, said to Xie Kai. "According to the above idea, it is better to deliver new fighters, but your price is too low. ”

Huo Haiyuan is responsible for the refurbishment and transformation of these fighters.

For him, instead of refurbishing second-hand old goods, it is better to produce new ones directly.

The production line of the strong five has always been there, and the improvement of this fighter has not stopped so far.

"What's the use of an overly advanced fighter in Africa? It's easy to fly twice with a bomb over the enemy's head. Xie Kai said, "We have to think about our customers, no." ”

Huo Haiyuan looked at Xie Kai and was speechless.

It's obviously selling second-hand goods, and it's very reasonable.

Xie Kai walked into a strong five fighter plane, looked up at the cockpit on the plane, and didn't know what was going on inside.

"Do you want to go up and have a look?" Huo Haiyuan asked Xie Kai.

Of course I did!

Huo Haiyuan called two people over, set up the ladder, let Xie Kai climb up, and kept telling Xie Kai not to mess with the things on it.

Xie Kai naturally knew that he was not fooling around, and he didn't even enter the cockpit, he stood on the ladder next to the fuselage and looked at the situation inside the cockpit.

There is no big display screen, nor any digital equipment, and the entire cockpit is densely packed with old-fashioned instruments and various buttons.

What exactly is being renovated and renovated, it is not clear at all.

There are two engines in the back that are the same as the J-6, which makes logistics and maintenance much less difficult.

"Can the renovation and maintenance be completed within a month?" Xie Kai was a little worried about the delivery date after he came down.

Obviously, the entire aircraft has not yet been refurbished and repaired.

"There is no problem, most of the engines have reached the end of their service life, and it is enough to replace the engine and then replace some aging electronic components. The task we received was not to improve the performance of the entire fighter plane, but to ensure the original combat capability. Huo Haiyuan introduced the situation.

The first research on the strong five, only when the internal weapons compartment carries 1000 kg of bombs, the auxiliary fuel tank under the wing can barely carry supersonic combat. Even then, before throwing away the drop tank, only subsonic flights can be done.

"The cannon won't be canceled, right?" Xie Kai looked at the 30mm cannon on each wing on both sides, this thing will be the main force of the African operation.

Air-to-surface missiles, heavy aerial bombs, etc., will not play a big role in the African theater.

"No, according to the requirements, we will strengthen the performance of the two-wing cannon, increase the carrying capacity of more shells, etc. Huo Haiyuan shook his head and said, "There is a modified one in front, you can go and see it." ”

On the far side of the Qiangwu, many places have been disassembled, and several technicians in overalls are installing some parts.

"The engine has been replaced, the aging body structure has also been replaced, and the ammunition box of the cannon has been modified to a certain extent, but the internal weapons compartment cannot carry two 500-kilogram aerial bombs. Huo Haiyuan took Xie Kai to the belly of the plane, the whole plane was jacked up by auxiliary tools, and the technicians were working on some improved installations.

The internal magazine, which was used to carry bombs, was converted into a cannon ammunition box.

The cannons on the two wings near the air intake channel only show a section of the cannon muzzle, which has not yet been installed underneath, so you can clearly see the structure of the entire cannon and the shell supply system.

"All changed like this?" Xie Kai frowned.

He did not make such a request, and it stands to reason that Wang Guilin would not give such an order, at least not behind Xie Kai's back.

"No, only 6 of them were changed like this. Even then, it does not affect combat capability. There are also six hardpoints on the outside, two under the wings on each side and two under the belly......"

"This is not our own domestic modification, right?" Xie Kai asked.
