Hearing Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian was stunned subconsciously.

Chairman of AVIC Group?

Is it Tan Song?

No, Tan Song should still be the chairman of Anton's side at this time.

That is Lin Yongming.

In his previous life, Chen Nian had no chance to come into contact with Lin Yongming, but he had heard legends about this man from many people.

All in all, this is an extremely cautious, even a little overly cautious, leader.

Many times, he is criticized as "taking too much care of feathers".

And this kind of personality often seems to have insufficient decisiveness when facing new things.

Therefore, around 2005, he was replaced by Ma Chongguang, who had a radical personality, and then was replaced by Tan Song.

When dealing with such a person, you cannot draw any pie for him, you must feed all the results to his mouth, and he will not pay you until he eats it.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian quickly said:

"Hello, leader, I am Chen Nian."

I didn't really understand this period of history in my previous life, so after the country became stronger, I always felt that it was natural to invest heavily in scientific research and make dumplings.

"5 million?"

Lin Yongming was so angry at Chen Nian that he wanted to laugh. This five billion sounds so light, just like fifty yuan.

"There is no element of risk in this whole plan."

"Hello, let's make a long story short. I have seen the simulation data of the new aircraft you designed, and the results are very good."

"Not enough? How much do you want?"

Chen Nian listened to his words inexplicably and didn't know what he was going to do for a while.

After his words fell, Chen Nian felt as if a heavy hammer fell on his head.

"I can handle it."

"But I still have to say that a full-motion horizontal tail alone is not enough to support the large-scale development of this project."

If you only have this little money, this project might as well be abandoned!

"Yes, it's a lot of money. You know, we have a lot of money to spend now."

Opposite Lin Yongming was obviously angry. After all, this was the first time someone had spoken to him like this in the past few years.

He suddenly realized that the man on the other side of the phone might not be who he thought he was.

Chen Nian didn't talk nonsense to him anymore. It's useless for you to argue with such a leader. It's better to go straight to him!

"That's not the case. We can walk and watch. Of course, it's impossible to approve a budget of tens of millions. For the first phase of the project, we can approve 5 million first."

"That's it"

Now, what Lin Yongming is worried about is that he has no way to achieve the step of "from technology to implementation".

"You don't need to question me, because I'm not just talking."

"In this case, do you ask me to let you take risks? If you fail, I can afford the consequences. At worst, I will go to jail!"

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

After saying this, there was silence on the other side.

"Do you think I don't want to build new aircraft? Do you think I don't want fifth-generation aircraft? What is our problem now? It's that we don't have money!"

"You solve it? What do you use to solve it? Do you rely on your words?"

"I also went through a long period of argumentation, research, and research before finally designing this model, and the facts have proven that it is indeed useful, right?"

"But, can our country afford it?! Can the people afford it?!"

There is still a lot of work to be done to transform it into physical objects.

"But the question is, can your research capabilities really support such a large-scale project?"

How funny.

But what if you don’t win?

wipe!

Indeed it is.

"You did a great job, thank you for your hard work."

"Leader, I designed this machine, but it was definitely not a flash of inspiration."

"That is, if you follow your design, the airframe can achieve good results when conducting wind tunnel experiments. This should not be much different from simulation analysis."

But, did he do this voluntarily?

no.

"not enough."

"I have verified it with our expert team and confirmed the authenticity of the results. At the same time, we have also reached a preliminary agreement."

"There is no award, what I said is the truth."

"The main difficulties of the F119-PW-100 engine are the single crystal nickel-iron alloy of the turbofan blades, Alloy C flame-retardant titanium alloy, ceramic matrix composite TBC, and high-temperature resin-based outer duct coating."

"I will solve these material problems one by one."

Otherwise, this man would not have given up his almost certain and steadily rising career in middle age and been appointed to become the top leader of AVIC Group in the face of crisis.

——

He was just forced by circumstances.

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds, and then a deep male voice sounded.

We are so poor that the Air Force has no planes and the Navy has no ships.

They are not wrong, they just want to prevent China from being completely defeated as much as possible, and try their best to leave the last spark of fire in the process of seeking development.

"No, I'm not crying about being poor, we are really poor!"

You wouldn't call me just to praise me, right?

"I just did a small amount of work, and the leader has given me the reward."

Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Chen Nian's mouth.

However, this is really not a matter of course.

Yes, we are too poor in this era.

However, he did not answer immediately, but asked:

"Leader, if you say we can't produce a visible result, does that mean you won't approve a budget for this project?"

Yes, from the perspective of later generations, he was indeed an overly conservative and timid leader.

"So, the design of this machine body can be said to be a flash of inspiration on your part?"

We can do it because we win the bet and win the fight.

He had no doubt about this. After all, he was holding in his hand the beta-type titanium-aluminum alloy that had just been produced through hot isostatic pressing.

Chen Nian tried his best to suppress the anger rising in his heart and patiently explained:

"Of course, if you really draw all the parts and components according to the plan you told Chen Guo before, then I can guarantee that the budget of this project can reach hundreds of millions."

"Look, according to Lei Gang and Chen Guo's ideas, your project is going in the direction of a new fifth-generation aircraft. In other words, it will consume huge resources."

Before Chen Nian could explain, he continued:

“Are you saying that I don’t let the rabbit out of my sight, or that I suppress young people?”

He opened his mouth and said:

"I understand, leader, I understand what you mean."

After hearing Chen Nian's sincere apology, Lin Yongming became less angry.

It seems that Chen Nian is in the same situation.

Chen Nian shook his head subconsciously.

Even if you solve the material problem yourself, you won't be able to build a truly usable machine with this little money.

In the final analysis, no matter how awesome the design of the F-22 airframe is, it is just a "design" after all.

Lin Yongming's voice on the opposite side clearly contained disappointment.

"What kind of results do you want to see before you can grant more budget?"
