The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 65 He thinks it’s not important

When Dong Haoming returned to his office that night, he immediately called Zhao Bingkun.

He told Zhao Bingkun the good news that Zhang Zhipeng assisted Zheng Jingzhi in developing a domestic intelligent avionics control system.

Zhao Bingkun was ecstatic: "Haha! This is indeed a great event!"

"Now our third-generation machine has lost another shortcoming!"

“Those who have made merit should be greatly commended!”

"Yeah! In the next two days, I will take the heads of the main scientific research institutes responsible for the development of third-generation aircraft to your school for acceptance!"

"By the way, I heard that the Loongson factory is already debugging the machine?"

"Is mass production soon?"

Dong Haoming said: "Director Zhao, I just went to 618 the day before yesterday to have a look. Their production line has been installed and production debugging has been going on for several days."

"The intelligent avionics control system we developed this time uses chips produced during production and debugging."

"Zhipeng has really made a great contribution this time."

"You also know how important the sensor microprocessor is to every integral component of the aircraft, right?"

"Those sensor microprocessors were also developed by Zhipeng."

"These electronic devices are really important to aircraft."

Zhao Bingkun said: "When I go to your school this time, I must have a good drink with Comrade Zhipeng!"

"Comrade Haoming, you have created a baby for the country! Haha!"

"I think one Zhang Zhipeng is worth an army!"

After putting down the phone, Zhao Bingkun was still excited.

He rubbed his hands and wished he could fly to Chang'an right away to see what the intelligent aircraft avionics control system developed by Zhang Zhipeng and others looked like.

Zhao Bingkun thought for a moment and called Qiao Guanyuan, the head of the Air Force Equipment Department.

Zhao Bingkun told Qiao Guanyuan the news that the intelligent avionics system for third-generation aircraft was successfully developed at NPU.

Qiao Guanyuan smiled and said: "Director Zhao, this breakthrough comes at the right time."

"It's great for our morale! As you know, we originally wanted to purchase their avionics system from Robin. We had almost talked about it before, but after there was a problem with Da Mao, Robin immediately turned his back and refused to sell. It’s given to us.”

Zhao Bingkun said: "So, other scientific research institutes of our Air Force must also work hard!"

"We still have several shortcomings!"

"Doppler airborne fire control radar is a shortcoming."

"The engine is a shortcoming!"

Qiao Guanyuan smiled bitterly: "Director Zhao, those comrades in the scientific research institute are working very hard every day!"

"It's just that our historical debts are too many."

"So, whether it's radar or engine, it can't be done in a short time."

"As for the radar, Hoopoe can do some, but I estimate it will take another year or two to arrive."

"As for the engine, Robin originally deceived us that it could be sold, but now it is not for sale. But we have almost reached an agreement with Da Mao."

"We strive to produce the first true third-generation aircraft this year!"

"Director Zhao, since NPU has produced such great results, shouldn't we hurry over and take a look?"

Zhao Bingkun said: "It's snowing heavily in Chang'an. The airport is closed."

"Otherwise, I guess I would be ready to fly over now."

Qiao Guanyuan said: "You can use our air force's airport. I think we can rush there!"

"Um, should you call Song Likun over too?"

"He is the chief designer of the third-generation aircraft!"

Zhao Bingkun said: "Let him go too!"

"There are also the person in charge of the scientific research institute engaged in engines and the spokesperson of the scientific research institute engaged in radar. Call them all over!"

"Let them feel a little stressed too!"

"The Western Polytechnic University received the task later than them, but it has already achieved great results!"

Qiao Guanyuan agreed.

He first called Song Likun, chief engineer of Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, and told him about the intelligent avionics system developed by NPU.

When Song Likun heard this, he was stunned. After a while, he said, "Is it so fast?" Qiao Guanyuan smiled and said, "Isn't it faster?"

"Old Song, you have to speed up too!"

Song Likun smiled bitterly: "Actually, the prototype has been made."

"However, the engine and radar have been slow, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"Comrade Guanyuan, you also know that the international research and development cycle for an aircraft engine generally takes 7 years to start and 10 years to start."

"The engine is too important. Stability, safety, and reliability all need to be tested bit by bit. At present, the materials for manufacturing the core components of the engine have not yet been solved. Alas! It is really too difficult."

"However, as far as radar is concerned, it seems that there has been a breakthrough at the 607 Institute recently."

"It should be possible to produce results within one or two years."

Qiao Guanyuan said: "It really makes people feel anxious!"

"Robin, Da Mao, and even Hoopoe have already begun to popularize third-generation machines!"

"But we are still groping in the dark!"

"Okay, I also know that some things cannot be rushed."

"You, tell the comrades in charge of radar and engine research and development."

"Ask them to fly to Chang'an with you to inspect and accept the results of NPU!"

"Can I arrive before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning?"

Song Likun said: "As long as the plane can land, there will be no problem."

"However, I read the news that the airport in Chang'an has been closed."

Qiao Guanyuan said: "Then let's go to the military airport!"

"Anyway, you have to arrive in time!"

……

Zhang Zhipeng does not understand the above situations.

He thought that after the intelligent avionics system was developed, there would be nothing left for him to do.

Now, he is obsessed with producing a series of papers on radar.

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Zhipeng finished writing his paper and clicked to print.

Then, the paper was printed out by the printer.

He wanted Zheng Jingzhi to carefully check this paper.

Of course, Zheng Jingzhi is not actually an expert in radar.

Zhang Zhipeng handed the paper to Zheng Jingzhi just for the sake of communication.

Zhang Zhipeng knew that this paper was very important.

There should be no problem publishing it in the top domestic aviation academic journals.

The key point is: if I write like this, does it count as not doing my job properly?

Does this count as crossing a line?

No matter so much! Everything is for the country! I personally have no selfish motives in this regard!

Zhang Zhipeng had stapled his thesis. He was about to move around and go to the window to see the snow when there was a gentle knock on the door.

Zhang Zhipeng went over and opened the door.

He saw Zhao Bingkun standing outside with a smile.

Also accompanying him was Qiao Guanyuan, the head of the Air Force Equipment Department.

Zhang Zhipeng was quite surprised: "Eh?!"

"Why are the two leaders here at this time?"

"Isn't the airport closed today?"

As he spoke, he invited the two people in.

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "We arrived last night! We took an Air Force plane."

Zhang Zhipeng invited the two of them to sit down on the simple sofa and poured them tea.

"Why are you here in such a hurry?"

"There doesn't seem to be anything special happening here, right?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile that in his mind, the intelligent avionics system should not be considered a particularly big achievement.
