Chapter 47 Bathawk (3)
Liu Weiping looked at the bat eagle with evil spirits all over his body soaring over the nine heavens, showing a satisfied smile. More than a dozen slept with firewood and gall, and more than ten years of hard work, finally got a reward. Due to various conditions, it is not perfect. Compared with the f-22, f-35, J-20 and T-50 that emerged decades later, it is much worse. Maintenance will only be more complicated than the latter and the cost is higher. It can be said that it is simply a huge investment in the country regardless of costs or consumption.
The cost of this prototype alone is as high as 100 million US dollars. When the technology is mature and mass production is carried out, the cost will be reduced, but no matter how much it is calculated, it will not be less than 80 million. Such a expensive price is enough to discourage the not-enriched Air Force. In fact, when this plan has suffered repeated setbacks, many people raised doubts, believing that it is not worth it to spend so much precious funds in a bottomless pit, and demanding a temporary termination and spending funds on third-generation fighter jets is more realistic.
"The development is too difficult now. We can wait until the technology is mature before we do it. Wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?" Many people hold this view.
Reinhardt did not explain, but just asked a question: "Does there be electricity first and then TV first or then electricity?" This sentence refuted everyone's temper. The facts have long proved that technology will not mature on its own. It must be learned from a long time of exploration, learn from lessons and experiences from repeated failures, and accumulate slowly to break through. No great innovation is done after all the conditions are met. If so, it will not be worthy of the word "great".
The difficulty of designing such a complex fighter jet is imagined. The huge amount of information has caused the computer to collapse. It was not until the 608 base was forced to make the Galaxy giant computer improve. It is no wonder that Dr. Reinhardt could not stand the doubts of the chief of staff of the Pakistan Air Force. It is not that he was too proud, but that he devoted his life to it and regarded the Bat Eagle as his own child. Some people dared to doubt their children, but of course he would not give him a good look.
The General Assembly Minister came over and said to Liu Weiping: "Trouble, you are right. I am very pleased that you persuaded me at that time. I withstand the pressure of funds and did not forcefully order the project to be terminated."
Liu Weiping rubbed his nose and said, "For this guy, I have been scolded a lot by you!"
The Chief Assembly Minister laughed: "We old men are afraid of being poor! The whole country is poor and deserted, and the sand is so anxious that you can squeeze out oil. You are still willing to throw hundreds of millions of funds into this bottomless pit, and it is reasonable for us to get angry."
Liu Weiping smiled and once again looked at the bat eagle in the sky with affection: "It's been more than ten years... It's really not easy. Fortunately, we have survived." His thoughts flew back to thirty years later. After the country's reform and opening up, the economy and military were ushered in.
In the golden age of development. In order to develop the economy with all their might, a large number of military scientific research projects were cut off, and the Air Force was cut off the most. Yun-10, J-12, J-13... were all cut off. There is nothing wrong with prioritizing the development of the economy. It is wrong that we have a group of bullies. When the national embassy in Yugoslavia was bombed, the whole country was shocked to find that the only weapon we could use to counterattack against that bully was bricks. It is not that the country likes to pretend to be grandsons, and the huge disadvantages in the technical forces on the surface are what else can we do besides the ruthlessness? Now, at least we are not at the starting line. Double-headed eagle, if you have a species, you can try bombing our embassy!
The Chief Assembling Minister also looked at the fighter plane that had caused him to be scolded a lot and even almost lost his official position several times. His thoughts extended unknowingly, and returned to that difficult but always passionate era. Lei Ran sighed: "It's such a work of art that makes people stand out... Little guy, do you know? When I was as old as you, I was still chewing tree bark, wild vegetables and coarse grains in northwestern Shanxi, fighting with Japanese pigs. As long as bullets can be shot from the gun, we are not afraid of anything! But Japanese pigs have planes! If they are beaten, they will be sent to fly.
The plane reinforced the planes, bombing and shooting above our heads, their planes were really bad, and their fuselage was still made of wooden, but just such rotten planes made us unable to fight back, and we could only be bombed passively! Looking at the bodies of our comrades who were smashed by air machine guns, I swear in my heart that when the war is won, we must form a powerful air force! But I can't imagine in my dream that one day we can have such advanced fighter jets! If Liu Ya knows the general of the foal, he should have smiled."
Liu Weiping clenched his fists: "The tragedy of the past will not happen again! Although it is not perfect, it is definitely unique in the world! One day, the iron wings of the Republic will ruthlessly cut the body of every enemy, making their dirty blood gush and make them tremble under our wing knife!"
The Chief Assembling Minister turned his head and looked at him steadily, as if he wanted to see through his inner thoughts. Liu Weiping looked at him calmly, and an invisible fire was burning in his deep eyes. After a while, the Chief Assembling Minister said: "Don't be too proud too soon, just because of your crazy plan, the country is now in debt, and the foreign debt owed is almost equivalent to the GDP. Some countries are still trying to provide us with loans with high interest rates... Even for this fighter, most of the research funds are coming in this way, and the repayment date will arrive soon. Think about how to repay the debt first!"
"Repay the debt?" Liu Weiping showed a cold smile. The cold breath made the general who crawled out of the dead. "The yen has begun to appreciate significantly, right? I dare to bet with you that the country must pay off all its debts easily by then, and make a fortune!"
The General's scalp was numb when he thought of this guy's killing without blood, and he secretly observed a silence for a country for three seconds. You are not lucky, so we should not be embarrassed to buy our government bonds so enthusiastically and give us loans so enthusiastically. But I didn't expect that such a thing would happen when the repayment date approached. Your currency rose like a car in the clouds, and the US dollar was declining. What's even more unfortunate is that we agreed that all debts would be settled in US dollars...
If you want to blame, blame this black-hearted guy for cheating in the game!
The Bat Eagle finally returned to the base. The pilot got off the plane and was immediately surrounded by a fanatical crowd. He raised it up and threw it into the air with his strength. The cheers almost overturned the base's command tower. After exchanging opinions with the Air Force Chief of Staff, the Pakistani President went straight to find several bosses, enthusiastically congratulating them, and finally asked with embarrassment: Can they also participate in the development? They knew very well, saying that they were participating in the development, but in fact they were learning technology. They hoped that one day they could design and manufacture advanced fighter jets independently. This requirement was a bit too much, no matter which country was quite concerned about this.
Taboo, you may give something, but you cannot give it technology, and you cannot teach you. However, the big guys agreed readily. First of all, this is good brothers. Good brothers don’t separate their families, so it’s nothing to teach them. Secondly, a new fighter does not mean that the test flight will be successful. I don’t know how much money it will cost to get in to wait until it is put into service. It’s not wrong to pull an extra investment. Next, it’s simple. Everyone opens beer to celebrate, pour the whole bottle into the stomach, and make any troubles. Even if you make a big disaster, no one will care about you. However, this will cause trouble to the logistics, and you don’t know when the broken wine bottle will be cleaned up!
We were also affected by the fanatical atmosphere, but we could not leave our posts to share their joy. The bat eagle has been put on a special camouflage cloth that can effectively prevent satellite detection and has been pulled back to the heavily guarded hangar. We were still chattering and excited.
Little Guangxi: "Boss, that plane looks amazing!"
Shandong: "That's the killer weapon that our country has worked hard to develop. Can it be worse?"
Me: "Shut up, when nothing is seen!"
Little Guangxi was about to talk back when he suddenly screamed like a ghost, threw down his gun and rushed out. I was startled by him and shouted: "What are you?" He ignored him and almost used his hands and feet to hug the foot of an officer in a black uniform, and his face was full of urine: "Company Commander, is it you? Company Commander, have you come back to see me, right? Company Commander, I'm not dreaming, isn't you thinking so hard?" They all burst into tears, which made Shandong and I startled, and thought he had taken the wrong medicine. It was not until the officer turned around that we could see clearly that it was really our company commander's cute Shaolin soldier company commander. Now he is a captain, darker than before, and a little thinner, and there is a faint scar on his face. Looking at his picture
With familiar faces, Shandong and I almost cried. How long has it been since we met our old comrades? We can't remember it!
The Shaolin soldier was shocked by the monkey who was crying. Fortunately, he still remembered that he had such a distinctive subordinate, so he did not wave his iron fist that could smash the skull. He just asked angrily and amusedly: "What are you doing, monkey? Isn't it just that I haven't seen you for a while? Are you so excited?"
Little Guangxi was crying: "I haven't seen you for a while? You said it lightly! Company Commander, you don't know how miserable we have been in the past few years. It's not easy to see you. Do you understand? Boss, Shandong, come here quickly. This is the company commander. I caught him and he can't escape!"
I'm sweating, as for what it means to be so exaggerated?
Xiao Guangxi forced the Shaolin soldiers to come over: "Company Commander, don't go anywhere, tell us what happened after we return to China!"
The Shaolin soldier was a little surprised: "Don't you know?"
I said, "We know nothing. Apart from training and class, I was beaten to death by that perverted instructor. If I have some time, I will take a break. What can we know?"
The company commander had a little sympathy. So he briefly told us what happened in the world: the carefully planned encirclement and suppression of the Citi Army Marines forced the Yanlong Army and the Sixth Front to give up Mindanao and switch to Minduluo; the relationship between the Jawa Kingdom and the Yanlong Army continued to deteriorate; the Soviet Union was defeated in Afghanistan; Indra Asan and Babayang clashed again in Kashmir, and a large-scale war could break out at any time; under the huge pressure of Citi Kingdom, Japan finally agreed to a significant appreciation of the yen, and the US dollar was depreciating... Also, our army beat Annan monkey again last year
, More than 10,000 of them were destroyed in Laoshan alone, and the navy continued to fight to Jinlan Bay, begging Annan monkey to sue her grandfather. The retired battleships that he finally got back from Uncle Sam were blocked and blew into pieces. Even if they were 502, they could not be stuck back. Our army was changing clothes on a large scale, achieving mechanization at an jaw-dropping speed. In the words of Major General Liu, it was: "We are violent soldiers!" We don't know what violent soldiers mean, but one thing is certain: the outside world is very wonderful, this is an era of passion! Alas, why don't we have the share!
The three of us looked at each other and exchanged a resentful look like a resentful woman, which made the Shaolin soldier's scalp numb! These three live treasures, who have been isolated from the world for so long, wouldn't they suffer from some psychological illness? If this is the case, then we really have to find a way to let them go outside to avoid being locked up. Fortunately, we don't know what the company commander thinks, otherwise we would urinate again and be moved by his care and consideration and cry!
