The head of the General Logistics Department did not think there was anything wrong. On the contrary, he believed that he had found a treasure. The rd-9 engine, the latest cutting-edge product of the Klimov Design Bureau, is known as the first axial-flow jet independently developed by the Soviet Union.

The performance of the engine can overwhelm almost all Western aero engines currently in service.

It was such a rare treasure, and the head of the General Logistics Department wanted to swallow it in one gulp. What kind of indigestion, if swallowed in the stomach, can it turn the world upside down? So he didn't care about Bai Yi's words.

When speaking, he emphasized the word "most advanced", and his rhetorical question was even more meaningful.

The meaning is very clear, the stuff is the best, what else do you want to do? No way!

Bai Yi didn't want to make any trouble. Others didn't know, but he understood very well that even though the rd-9 engine was unknown, its improved rd-9b engine was well-known because the fighter jet it was attached to was a household name.

It is the famous MiG-19, and its Chinese copy is the J-6 known as the "Sixth Master" in the mouth of future generations of military fans!

Nowadays, the MiG-19 is just a line on the drawing. The Soviet Union provided the basic model of the attached engine to China. To be honest, even Bai Yi was a little shocked by the generosity of the Soviets. You must know that China has obtained the rd-9b in history.

The trap information was in 1958, and the imitation work was put into operation that year.

But now, through the efforts of Bai Yi and others, this source of power that will support half of China's sky in the future has arrived in China seven years early. In every respect, it is a blessing. In fact

The same is true for Shang Baiyi.

However, when he read all the transfer terms of the rd-9 engine, he couldn't help but frowned. The drawings and processes inside were indeed very detailed, but there was no supporting construction of the manufacturing plant, the establishment of the research institute, and no personnel.

education and training.

The core of engine R&D and manufacturing is precisely the latter. If we cannot achieve technological breakthroughs in the manufacturing process, obtain more efficient materials in the research process, and have a large number of technically mature workers, even if the aero-engine

The drawings showed a shocking and unconventional vision, but it was just a futile thing, not an aerospace engine that could reach the sky at all.

Obviously, this is a big hole dug by the Soviet Union for China. Just like the so-called diaries he gave, it uses an unattainable cutting-edge technology to restrain the other party's hands and feet. But the problem is that the Soviet Union is a mature industrial country, and its internal

The military production system already has a mature operating mechanism.

Depleted uranium armor can trap Morozov deeply, but don’t forget that Kartsev in the Ural Mountains is still working hard on his T-72; although Grechko of the MiG Design Bureau is obsessed with high-altitude and high-speed fighters,

We must also understand that Sukhoi, who is dormant, has been silently filling in the footnotes of his rise to his glory from beginning to end!

All in all, because of its maturity and the initial competitive relationship established within the military-industrial system, the Soviet Union has unparalleled self-correction capabilities in the field of military-industrial technology, although it is still unclear what is wrong with the diary provided by Boyi.

, but after three or five years, you will definitely be able to detect the clues.

However, China, which has just started its industry, is far from having this capability. The Soviet Union was able to develop four different types of aero engines at the same time. China could barely complete one model with all its efforts. Under this condition, after obtaining the drawings of an advanced model

After getting samples, you will inevitably dive in and immediately run blindfolded. You may be able to make a lot of progress in the short term, but from a macro perspective, it is easy to take a detour that is difficult to turn around in a day.

Because of this, Bai Yi is not opposed to the introduction of rd-9 engines, but he must remind the head of the General Logistics Department that the development of aero engines requires not only technological breakthroughs, but also a clear development strategy, so Bai Yi quickly

He nodded sincerely: "The rd-9 engine is a good thing. It is axial-flow, single-shaft, and has an afterburner. It can be said that it is the forefront of today's aerospace engine field.

If we can chew these things, I believe that our country will definitely accumulate a lot of valuable experience in the field of aero-engines, but the key is how to chew them?"

"Of course I chewed it one bite at a time!" the head of the General Logistics Department blurted out without hesitation: "I know that the rd-9 engine is indeed technically advanced for our country, and I also know that the Soviets gave such a high price.

I just want to see a joke! But I believe that our country

The experts inside will never let them laugh. If it doesn't work in one year, let's do it in five years. If it doesn't work in five years, then it will be ten years. Since we can persist in the war of resistance for eight years, why can't we just endure it for the sake of an aircraft engine? I just

I really don’t believe it, there is nothing that cannot be achieved with hard work!”

The words of the head of the General Logistics Department can be said to be very convincing. To be honest, if Bai Yi had not been aware of the detours China has taken in aviation engines, he would have opened up every pore and made his blood boiling. But in fact, it was not

Yes, from the most basic Turbojet 5, to the imitated Turbojet 6, Turbojet 7, Turbojet 13...

China's initial aero-engine development path followed the Soviet Union's one-to-one single-model development path, that is, separate aircraft models were equipped with separate aero-engines. Although a large number of aero-engine R&D teams were cultivated, it also resulted in huge resource consumption.

, the development ideas are unclear, and there is no inheritance and development at all.

These unfavorable factors were concentratedly exposed during the development of the turbofan 6 engine, so that the entire process went back and forth between conservatism and pursuit of innovation. In addition, the overall strategy was unclear, resulting in stumbling along the way. In the end, after the supporting model was discontinued, it was

Reluctantly, he dismounted sadly.

Until the 1990s, China did not escape the shackles of an unclear strategy. Although it had launched the "Kunlun" turbofan engine project at that time, it was still an imitation project of the British "Spey" turbofan engine, and it was also used for the "Flying Leopard"

The result of one machine and one model, even so, its fate is still full of twists and turns.

As for the independent discovery model supporting the J-10, it had no choice but to discontinue it due to various reasons. In the end, it had no choice but to turn to the purchase of Russian al-31f turbofan engines. It was not until the 2010s that China figured out how to develop the technology through countless experiences and lessons.

A set of aero-engine development strategies, and then the imitation crutch was abandoned, and the company truly had independent research and development capabilities.

Precisely because he knew China's stumbling development process, Bai Yi did not get excited by the sonorous and powerful words of the head of the General Logistics Department. Instead, he frowned and asked softly: "Then...the next model.
Chapter completed!
