In the new assembly workshop of Factory 132, the appearance has long been no longer as smooth and beautiful as the previous one. The rear engine part has been disassembled, the fuselage is covered with skin, and many of them have also been disassembled, and there is no such majestic posture as soaring in the sky.

After the development of the turbofan-8 was successful, Liu Yijiu and others did not report to the Military Commission, but prepared to report it after the test.

The turbofan engines of the Republic, in addition to the turbofan-6 improved by the Bass engine, the turbofan-8 is the real first high-thrust military turbofan engine.

"Whether this plane can fly depends on the engine. Liu, I am very worried about China's engine manufacturing technology..." After understanding the engine parameters, Simonlov said to Liu Yijiu with great concern, "The previous several units were tested in the air for dozens of hours and had to return to the factory for overhaul. However, I cannot interfere in the engine, and I am not an expert..."

When the Su-27 was tested, it was because the engine was not able to keep up with it, so it had to choose an engine with poor performance.

This happened when the Soviet Union had a huge industrial foundation. With such a backward industrial foundation, the engines developed by China had many problems at the beginning, and it was impossible for these fighter jets to fly into the sky and make various actions.

"Mr. Simon, the Soviet Union is indeed well-off, but did not fall several Su-27s during the test flight? Otherwise, you would not appear here. Although our China's manufacturing capabilities are poor, so far, neither the air platform of the turbofan-8 engine or the giant pandas tested with the F-14 engine have fallen..." Zhu Houdao and Simonolov had a big conflict. When he heard Simonolov's words, he immediately fought back dissatisfiedly.

It is an indisputable fact that the Soviet Union had a good industrial foundation.

However, it is not smooth in terms of fighter jet development.

Technology development and accumulation all require time and even more money to support it.

Western countries have money and develop aircraft. When pilots are sure that they may threaten their lives, they can throw the aircraft off and then parachute to ensure their safety. But the Soviet Union was not able to do so, people could die, and planes could not fall.

This is actually the case in the Republic.

When Liu Yijiu saw that the two were about to argue, he immediately stopped Zhu Haodao.

He also knew that the two must have had a dispute over the giant panda project.

The first priority now is to let the Republic's sky have the third-generation fighter jets made by the Republic itself.

"Simon, our industrial foundation is indeed not comparable to that of the Soviet Union. Our aviation industry is even worse. However, without a choice, we can only conduct continuous test flights and continuous improvements. We do not consider the cost..." Liu Yijiu did not emphasize how advanced the performance of the new turbofan-8 is.

For some people who already have preconceived ideas, only by letting them see the final result and the facts are in front of them can they believe that China has the ability to meet the needs of top fighter jets in the field of cutting-edge manufacturing.

"No matter what, you have to install it and test flight to find out if it can be used! Not to mention anything else, even a new engine in the Soviet Union could not be tested in the air. It is produced and installed directly on the fighter and then let the fighter fly, right?"

Liu Yijiu's words left Simonolov with nothing to say.

With Zhu Haodao's efforts, the turbofan-8 engine began to be installed on the F-14 that was disassembled many times, and when it would disintegrate in the air. As long as the test flight proves that the engine has no problem, it will prove that the imitation work is about to end.

Liu Yijiu agreed to Iran to provide a full set of spare parts for F-14.

So, after the engine came out, Samnira went to China in person, waiting to see the Chinese imitation engine.

In order to reassure them of Chinese aviation engines, Liu Yijiu could only lied that the turbofan-8 was imitated by the American F-14 engine.

The whole world knows the heart disease problem of China's aviation industry.

The Iranians knew that the engine technology of the Chinese Longwei tank originated from the United States and was even obtained from China. The fighter jets, the J-7 and J-8 ii, are much worse than the F-14 engines. Although the Iranians cannot produce imitations.

Liu Yijiu naturally knew about Samnira's concerns.

So far, less than 60 of the 80 F-14s purchased by Iran from the United States can still take off.

The United States did not train Iranian aircraft maintenance personnel in place at that time. Iranian technicians can handle simple technical failures, but complicated ones cannot do it.

Especially technical failures involving engines.

Now Iran's F-14 has basically been mobilized to the surrounding areas of Tehran, mainly used for air defense.

Although the Iraq-Iran War is no longer as violent as before, it has now entered a stalemate again.

Iraq has purchased a lot of things from China and is accumulating strength to prepare to recapture the Faudo Peninsula in the Southern Theater Command.

However, Iraq and China have not reached an agreement on the purchase of Zhi-91, the 336 rocket launcher, and Iran should have obtained a large number of modified 336 rocket launchers from Saudi Arabia, and it should also not miss the 8208 missiles transformed from the Hongqi-2 air defense missile.

The two sides have not yet begun a missile attack city war. Negotiations and wars are intermittent, and they are talking for a while, fighting, and then talking for a while...

"Director Liu, are there really no problems with these engines? Otherwise, you will choose a group of excellent technicians to come to our country to analyze the tf30-p-412 afterburner turbofan engine, especially the front-line technicians..." Samnira proposed to Liu Yijiu while waiting for the assembly process.

When Liu Yijiu heard his words, the corner of his mouth bent upwards.

"General, if your country wants our technicians to help you study and maintain the F-14 engine, you can just say it directly. China and Iran have a deep friendship, especially in recent years, we have carried out good cooperation..."

While being able to make money, it is still to study Americans’ motivational technology. Why not do it?

"Where is the maintenance of the fighter jet?"

"It's not a problem. We can talk about this well, but it may take some time and a lot of costs..."

"There's no problem. At the beginning, you promised to provide all spare parts within three years and imitation fighter jets within five years..." Samnira was very sad about Liu Yijiu, "Although we have advanced third-generation fighter jets and have unparalleled performance advantages over various Iraqi fighter jets, their number of fighter jets is too large...

Iraq now has dual support from the Soviet Union and the United States, and fighter jets can be easily supplemented.

Samnira did not tell Liu Yijiu that what they are worried about now is that in order to sell weapons to them, the Soviet weapons sales staff sold hundreds of newly developed MiG-29s to Iraq. At the same time, Iraq is in contact with the United States and wants to purchase F-15s.

"Sir, don't worry. As long as there is no problem with the current test flight, we can provide the engine fully. Moreover, the test flight work of imitation models has been carried out continuously and effectively..." Liu Yijiu understood that he had to seize the opportunity to sell more weapons and equipment to Iran and Iraq before this.

The Americans and the Soviets began to work hard in these two countries.

If China hadn't had hooked up with Iran from the very beginning and wanted to sell weapons, it would have to sell worthless things like tanks and J-7.

"Now our imitation work test flights and engine tests are carried out almost at the same time. We will be able to start mass production soon!" Liu Yijiu told Samnira that the other party was not relieved because of his words.

And during this period, people from Iraq also came.

Iraq does not care much about China's fighter jets. After all, as long as their President Mr. Saddam is willing, they can get the most advanced fighter jets from the Soviet Union and the United States. 12 MiG-29 fighter jets have been put into service with the Iraqi Air Force, and the American F-15 is currently in negotiations.

China's aircraft are not equipped with several of them, and the performance of both the J-7 and J-8ii is too poor.

"Advanced fighter jets? Mr. Liu, are you not mistaken? Have Chinese fighter jets solved the heart disease problem?" Kanlam, who was originally coming to purchase missiles such as Dongfeng-3 and cloud bombs, was like hearing a huge joke.

Liu Yijiu was not surprised by Kanlam's ridicule.

There was no too much reaction.

"General Kanlam, you have never heard it wrong, nor am I wrong. Of course, here, it is meaningless. If you want, we can take you to see the fighter jets we are going to sell to you..." Liu Yijiu said calmly.

Kanlam is also very curious about what kind of fighter jets China can provide.

They have seen a lot of Soviet and American fighter jets, but Chinese fighter jets are really bad.

Liu Yijiu arranged the Iranians to the base and then took the Iraqis into Factory 132. When Kanlam saw two huge twin-engine heavy fighter jets that were exactly the same in the production workshop, his eyes fell off.

f-14!

"You got the technical information of F-14 from the Americans?" Kanlam screamed immediately!
