A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 648: The Battle Belongs to Jiangxia.

Jiang Xia smiled wryly: I know, I know it better than anyone. But I don't know the current situation.

The original intention of the 113 was good, but with the rise of mass production, the original design parameters of 113 were constantly raised, and the project was not completed. Instead, it became a typical case of some people with ulterior motives attacking the motherland.

Originally proposed by some teachers and students of the "Green Eaves and Green Tiles Tiger Building", the design was to create a fighter jet comparable to the Bald Eagle F-105, with an initial design performance of a maximum speed of Mach 2.0 and a service ceiling of 20,000 meters.

However, later, a brilliant person set the comparison parameter as F-104. It should be noted that although there is only a difference of one digit, F-104 and F-105 are two completely different aircraft.

The F-105 was designed for ground attack missions, while the F-104 was designed for high-altitude, high-speed interception missions. This change resulted in the design specifications for Project 113 becoming a maximum speed of Mach 2.5, a service ceiling of 25,000 meters, a thrust-to-weight ratio of 0.92, and a maximum overload of 8G…

This high-performance fighter jet was the first of its kind on Earth at the time! Even the US and the Alliance didn't have one!

Having ambition and drive is good, and an attitude of not being willing to be inferior to others is also correct.

Everything is correct, but one thing has been overlooked...

That is, it can be designed, but not manufactured...

Putting everything else aside, in order to achieve the design specifications, the personnel planned to use complex technologies such as liquid rocket engine-assisted acceleration and adjustable air intake cones. They spent a lot of time calculating the structural specifications, only to find out when they tried to actually build it that it was a disaster—it couldn't be done…

The aerodynamics and thermodynamics part is even more frustrating. Everything was planned perfectly, but then we found out that the surface temperature of the fuselage can reach 190°C during high-speed flight! If we want our pilots to not get roasted, the cockpit temperature needs to be maintained at 20°C. So what materials and methods should be used to achieve this?

Haha, 16 units have been working on this key problem for over a year, but they still haven't found a direction.

What a waste! What a waste!

It seems that the root cause of the large number of free-range chickens produced by 112 is not actually the "three-headed bear," but rather this overly ambitious project!

At first, Jiang Xia hadn't considered this possibility, but the more he thought about it, the more convinced he was of his reasoning. While his three senior uncles might seem unreliable, they shouldn't be that unreliable!

The root of the problem lies in the fact that unreliable specifications led a large number of scientific and technical personnel to focus on developing new aircraft, neglecting the digestion and imitation of the imported MiG-19 technology.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia's face hardened again. He turned to his secretary, Xiao Liu, and asked, "Help me apply to the Air Force bigwig and inquire about the specific progress of Project 113..."

"I'll submit another application; I want to get involved in the Dongfeng-106 project. Let's see if they agree!"

Then, he looked at Teacher Xiaopeng and said, "Comrade Xiaopeng, although we still have to wait for the notification from above, could you show me some more detailed structural drawings? As for the specific part drawings, we can talk about them after the notification comes down!"

"no, I'm fine!"

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like it was about to shout itself hoarse came from the red phone that had been hanging up all along, "Hey you, Comrade Lu Xiaopeng, right! In the name of the Air Force bigwigs, I authorize Comrade Jiang Xia to participate in this project! Give him whatever blueprints he needs..."

Before he could finish speaking, it seemed like someone covered the mouth of the air force leader, followed by a series of loud, impactful punches...

"That Liu fellow! He's kidnapped my child again! This is intolerable! He's going to eat my Black Tiger Heart..."

"what……"

A scream echoed in the control tower, causing everyone to instinctively shrink back.

Even so, the Air Force leader firmly declared, "Comrade Jiang Xia, you have to make me proud... Once you achieve results, I'll take you to prove them wrong..."

"No! Jiang Xia, listen to Grandpa Xia, the PET you want..."

“Gacha…”

The conversation abruptly ended, and the red phone on the other end was hung up by someone. The rest of the control room staff, enduring the scrutinizing gaze of Secretary Liu, gathered around the radio, all looking as if they were meditating in silence.

Teacher Xiaopeng reacted quickly. After telling Jiang Xia to wait a moment, he led Lao Wang and ran out.

Jiangxia closed his eyes and remained silent.

He had heard Minister Xia's voice trying to stop him on the phone. In the past, Jiang Xia wouldn't have needed his prompting; he would have immediately immersed himself in the entire PET project and wouldn't have considered anything else until all the relevant blueprints were copied.

PET, putting aside its subsequent uses, just the fact that it can be used to make clothes is enough to make Jiangxia drool. Why develop industry? The main purpose is to improve people's lives, and then improve them even more...

As for weapons, this kid still believes that "professional matters should be handled by professionals."

But the current situation doesn't seem to be like that.

On the one hand, "professionals" are not professional, or rather, they are led astray by unprofessional people.

On the other hand, the bloody reality was right in front of Jiang Xia, and the vague saying "backwardness invites aggression" became even more profound for him in this incident...

I just want to focus on developing my business, but they won't allow it!

What if it's not allowed?

Then let's use an umbrella! The umbrellas that Father and the others use are still being improved, but this umbrella of mine can be used, and it can be used for a short time!

Digital radio, pulse Doppler radar, the platform that can support them, plus the groundbreaking modem and integrated circuits—the basic elements are in place, and Jiangxia has decided to go big!

"Let the data run! Let you see what a real project is!"

"A concept based on a digital regional joint defense system!"

Jiang Xia wrote this line on a project application form with utmost formality.

Secretary Liu sighed softly and stood in front of Jiang Xia, while constantly threatening the huddled air force comrades with his eyes.

"My brother's really shaken up. 'System,' that term has appeared twice in his design drafts, once with Big Yellow, and once with this. Bro, you're really pushing the boundaries..."

"Judging from your attitude earlier, you clearly wanted to bring down Project 113... But do you know? This project was reviewed by four big shots personally presiding over the approval meeting? Bringing it down, that's incredibly difficult... It's no less than a small battle!"

"Huh? That's not right..." Secretary Liu seemed to have thought of something.

"One of them seems to be an old acquaintance of Grandma Jiang, and the other one seems to be going to marry this kid...?"

?

Things seem to be getting interesting...

Thinking of this, Secretary Liu's constipated expression vanished, replaced by an air of anticipation as she prepared to "watch the show."

Oh dear, has this massive love triangle turned into a family drama?

Unaware of Secretary Liu's changed mindset, the naive girl was still diligently filling in the gaps in her own ideas...

…………

On the other side, at sea...

"Get back! This is US Navy operation!"

The gunner, grinning maliciously, raised his oar at the man who had shouted at him.

"Weld Apu to death! Dongte Wooden House"

“Ding hao! Ding hao! You little rascals, behave yourselves and come back with Grandpa. Grandpa will hold another ‘Prisoner of War Games’ for you!”
