Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 975, New Plane
After a busy day at work, Jiang Zihan and his wife Deng Zirui had dinner in the cafeteria and then drove to Jiang Yan's place.

"Zi Han, do you think our parents will agree? We will be away for several years." Deng Zirui asked Jiang Zihan, who was driving, a little worriedly.

It turned out that all the leaders had noticed Jiang Zihan's work during this period. After careful consideration, they decided to let them work at Shenfei for a period of time in order to produce a new improved model of the Z-7 aircraft with a chin-based air intake.

"He will support us. After all, he was the one who first proposed this model," Jiang Zihan said.

The more he got to know his father, the more he felt that his father was truly amazing. Not only was he a master in mechanics, he was also good in other fields. The special alloy they were using now was what Jiang Yan was responsible for developing at that time. When he learned about this, he was quite shocked. Not only that, his contribution to the aerospace field was also not bad. His influence could be seen in many aircraft. He even invested in the development of a domestically-made large aircraft based on the Y-10. All these things, for one person to be able to complete one of them is a remarkable thing, let alone his father who has done so many in a series.

It is a miracle that it is praised so much across industries.

Also, the more he knew, the more he couldn't figure out his father's intentions. He had to go into business instead of being a scientist. However, his business was much better than others. Sometimes he felt a little discouraged when he saw his father's footsteps, and he didn't know when he could catch up.

Also, this time when he was going to research the improved aircraft, his leader asked him to tell his father and seek his opinion, which made him a little confused.

How could my father, who had already left the institute, listen to such confidential information? Wouldn't that be a violation of discipline?
Naturally, he asked his leader about this idea, and his leader told him that his father's confidentiality level was higher than his own until now, and told him that there was no problem, and the country also believed in his father's party spirit.

After driving for a while, we arrived at the courtyard where my parents lived.

"Mom, where's my dad?" After entering the yard and seeing his mother watering the flowers, Jiang Zihan asked Jiang Yan.

"In the study, have you two eaten?" Jiang Sirui asked.

"Yes, I ate in the cafeteria."

"Child, if you don't want to cook, come to mom's place. It's only a few steps away. Don't eat in the cafeteria. Call me if you want to eat anything."

There are always Zhuzi's apprentices cooking at Jiang Yan's home all year round, and they take turns every month. In He Yuzhu's words, if your cooking skills can be recognized by Jiang Yan, then there will be no problem in becoming a master.

"Okay, Xiaorui, you stay here with mom and Aunt Yang, I'll go find dad." After saying hello to Aunt Yang, Jiang Zihan went straight to Jiang Yan's study.

"Why is this kid still so impetuous?" Jiang Sirui said as he looked at his son who had already left.

After the couple moved out, Jiang Sirui seldom asked about his son's affairs. It was not that he didn't want to, but he wanted to leave in a dignified manner because his son already had someone by his side.

Just as her husband Jiang Yan said, when her son grows up, he will have his own life partner, and as a mother, she should leave his world with dignity.

Jiang Zirui also agreed with this statement. Having a certain amount of space between each other is always better than anything else.

The old man is smart and the mother-in-law is a generous person who is not particular about details. The brothers and sisters are also quite harmonious. Deng Zirui feels that this family is really good. It is also the way she likes it. "Dad." Jiang Zihan opened the study and saw Jiang Yan who was drinking tea and spoke directly.

"Come on, sit down and have some tea. I've told you before that you should stay calm and not panic when encountering things. Look at you now." Jiang Yan looked up at Jiang Zihan who came in, said something, and then went on to make tea.

Hearing his father's scolding, Jiang Zihan did not get angry but chuckled, then sat opposite Jiang Yan, took the tea brewed by Jiang Yan and took a sip.

"It tastes like Tieguanyin before the rain, it tastes good. Can you give me some when you leave?"

"The tea is right there, take it yourself if you want." Jiang Yan said indifferently.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry today? What do you want to talk to me about?"

"My leader plans to let me participate in the development of the new chin-mounted air intake Zhan-7 aircraft. I will probably leave Sijiu City in a few days," Jiang Zihan said.

"This is a good thing, go! No need to worry about your family." Jiang Yan said lightly.

The Zhan-7 aircraft with a chin air intake was once a project presided over by Jiang Yan, but the aircraft was originally designed for high altitude and high speed, and the superiors did not pay enough attention to this aircraft, so only a small batch was produced. The project is now restarted, probably due to external pressures.

Because the third-generation aircraft engines have high maneuverability at medium and low altitudes, are equipped with advanced radar equipment, and have enhanced missile applications, fighter jets are beginning to move towards a multi-task, multi-purpose route.

Among the current domestic aircraft, only the Z-7 aircraft with a chin air intake, which was previously developed under the leadership of Jiang Yan, has a certain degree of improvement value. As radars and various avionics have gradually matured and become more complex, the nose air intake has been almost completely abandoned to meet the needs of installing large radar antennas. This demand has caused the size and cost of the aircraft to rise rapidly.

Although the country has already introduced aircraft from the United States, the number of aircraft introduced is limited after all, and the country's area is large, and these aircraft cannot meet the needs of the country. Therefore, we still have to develop our own aircraft. Therefore, the Z-7 aircraft has entered the sight of superiors next time.

However, what puzzled Jiang Yan was that, if he remembered correctly, the country had already started the research and development of Project No. 10. However, this Project No. 10 took almost fourteen years. But when you think about it, it makes sense that such a long blank period needs to be filled by other aircraft.

However, thinking of this, Jiang Yan remembered the untimely Z-7FM aircraft, which was claimed to be the final improved version of the Z-7 aircraft, and its release at this time just happened to meet the current needs of the country.

Due to the inherent design limitations of the MiG-7, the various modifications of the Zhan-21 have not been able to make a leap forward. The J-7MF launched by the aircraft manufacturing company is a bold attempt to break this "fate".

The nose air intake of the Z-7 has been changed to belly air intake, which completely solves the problem of narrow nose space so that a newer fire control radar can be installed. There is enough space to install a large-size fire control radar, and the ability to conduct beyond-visual-range air combat with medium-range semi-active/active radar-guided air-to-air missiles can be obtained. If the engine life, thrust-to-weight ratio and range can be improved a little bit, it will not be inferior to other third-generation foreign aircraft, and it can also cooperate with aircraft imported from the United States.

The most critical issue is that such improvements are faster than re-development, and according to Jiang Yan's calculations, the price is not high, so it is entirely possible to purchase in large quantities.
