Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 977, Report

Jiang Zihan watched his leader leave the office in a hurry, shook his head, closed the door of his office, and went back to the dormitory to catch up on some sleep. He was too exhausted from the brainstorming sessions over the past few days.

After Jiang Zihan and Deng Zirui got married, they moved directly into Deng Zirui's dormitory to rest, and handed over their own dormitory. They usually lived at home, and this place became their resting place when they worked overtime, but everything they needed was still there.

After Jiang Wenxing left the research institute with the information and drawings, he urged his driver more than once along the way. The driver knew that his leader must have something important, so he drove at the maximum speed while ensuring safety.

It's not that Jiang Wenxing is so anxious, it's because this type of aircraft is indeed in short supply in the country. The sooner we start manufacturing it, the less pressure we will have on our surroundings.

Since the first batch of F-14 fighters were introduced into China, the country has secretly conducted simulated targeted confrontation exercises. The results are self-evident. The domestically-served Zhan-7 and Zhan-6 aircraft are basically no match for them. That is, the Zhan-7 modified aircraft with lower jaw intake produced on a small scale by Jiang Yan still has a little chance, but that is also one aircraft compared to many. Therefore, the country has proposed a plan for a new aircraft, and the benchmark is the third-generation aircraft currently popular in the world, such as the Mirage series, the F-16 series and other aircraft.

However, at present, the domestic situation in this area is relatively weak, and many research and developments have to start from scratch. It is estimated that it will take a long time to develop a third-generation aircraft. It will not work without a replacement aircraft for such a long period of time. Relying solely on 24 F-14 fighter jets is basically a drop in the bucket for the vast land, so a potential tapping plan was proposed, which is the modified Zhan-7 aircraft with a lower chin air intake that Jiang Yan once presided over.

Originally, he asked Jiang Zihan to consult Jiang Yan, the person who led the development of the Zhan-7 aircraft with a lower jaw air intake, just to ask Jiang Yan for more guidance to see if there was any room for improvement. Unexpectedly, he gave himself such a big surprise. Although this F-7FM aircraft is a light aircraft even if it is produced according to Jiang Yan's design, it has good performance! In combination with the F-14 and the Zhan-8 aircraft that has been finalized for production, it can form a high-low combination. Even if the opponent is a Mirage 2000 series aircraft, it may not be without the ability to fight.

The most important thing is mature technology that can be produced quickly. Even the already produced Zhan-7 aircraft can be slightly improved, and the cost will be very low. This is the most important thing he values, otherwise he would not have rushed to find his old leader to report.

战-7MF飞机的出现避免了在很长一段时间内由战-8独自守护祖国蓝天的任务，他不知道在原本时空里面战-8Ⅱ型飞机，是我国空军和海军航空兵20世纪80年代至21世纪初主力战斗机种之一。

在三十多年的漫长服役岁月里，歼-8不仅准备对抗IDF、F-14、F-2和F-15等各型战斗机，就是面对“猛禽“F-22也可能要上去缠斗一番。在我国空军的武器装备还并不强大的年代，歼-8捍卫着我国的蓝天。

Now with the emergence of the Zhan-7FM, the Zhan-8 is no longer alone. This may be the biggest improvement of Jiang Yan's little wings. In the future, this Zhan-7FM aircraft, which was born at the wrong time, will show its due brilliance in this time and space.

"Old leader, old leader." The car stopped at the door of his old leader's office building. It can be said that Jiang Wenxing got out of the car by tumbling and crawling. After getting out of the car, he went straight to the old leader's office without even knocking on the door.

"You're so grown up, why are you still so irritable? If the sky falls, tall people will hold it up. What happened to you? You're like being chased by a dog."

"Old leader, good news, please take a look at this." Jiang Wenxing said as he walked to the old leader's desk and directly spread out the Z-7FM drawing that Jiang Zihan had drawn for him.

"What is this?" Jiang Wenxing's old leader, Minister Wu, was confused when he saw the blueprint. This aircraft looked like the Eagle Sauce's F-16 aircraft, but upon closer inspection, it was a little different, so he asked with confusion.

"This is a bottom-intake aircraft developed based on our Zhan-7 aircraft, named Zhan-7FM aircraft," Jiang Wenxing said.

"What? This is a plane based on the Zhan-7." Minister Wu was a little surprised, but after a closer look, he could vaguely see the shadow of the Zhan-7. "How is the performance?" Minister Wu asked anxiously.

"The maximum speed of this aircraft is Mach 2. The planned combat radius with auxiliary fuel tanks is 1600 kilometers. There are six external attachment points on it, and different weapons can be mounted according to needs..." Then he basically told his old leader about the performance of this aircraft.

"According to the overall performance data of this aircraft, if the design is good, this aircraft is a light aircraft, and its performance is comparable to that of the Gallic Mirage F1 aircraft."

"If we invest, how long will it take to produce a prototype?" Minister Wu asked.

"The detailed design and ideas have already formed the overall data. The technologies inside are basically existing technologies, but some technologies need to be introduced from abroad. If all goes well, the first prototype aircraft can be built within two years." Jiang Wenxing said.

"Okay, that's good. Can you tell me who developed this aircraft?" Minister Wu asked.

"Uh!" Jiang Wenxing paused for a moment, then continued, "It was the aircraft developed by Jiang Yan and his son. I guess the overall idea was proposed by Comrade Jiang Yan."

"Jiang Yan, I think so! This kid is the only one who has the idea of ​​Tianma Xingkong, but his son is not bad either. The things he designed have made your institute one of the institutes with independent research and development and production. The idea of ​​supporting the army with the people is implemented quite well. Like father, like son. But how did you convince Jiang Yan to help you design?"

When Jiang Wenxing saw that his old leader was not angry, he revealed his original plan.

"No wonder you were so determined to get Jiang Zihan to your research institute. So this is what you were thinking. You've killed three birds with one stone. This guy also got foreign aid that others couldn't. Okay, okay." Minister Wu said with a smile.

"I didn't have any intention of targeting Comrade Jiang Yan at the beginning. I simply saw that Jiang Zihan was a capable kid, so I let him come to work in our institute. The result was not surprising to me. As for Comrade Jiang Yan, I was just killing rabbits while robbing straw." Jiang Wenxing laughed when he said this. He himself didn't believe this statement, let alone his old leader who had experienced so much.

"Leader, this model of aircraft?"

"Let's prepare. When the time comes, all departments will attend a meeting, and then we will invite engineers from various aircraft research institutes to discuss it together. If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Would you like to invite Comrade Jiang Yan to attend the meeting?" Jiang Wenxing asked.

"Please invite both the father and the son. After all, Comrade Jiang Yan still has a confidentiality level and can be considered as our non-staff researcher." Minister Wu thought for a moment and spoke directly.
