After leaving the apartment, under the guard of two security personnel, Chen Nian went to the bank outside the NPU campus to check his balance.
What surprised him was that the amount of money that Lin Yongming said was "not too much" actually amounted to a full 100,000.
What was the concept of 100,000 yuan in 2003?
It is close to the 10-year salary of ordinary urban residents.
If converted according to purchasing power, it can basically be compared to 1 million in 20 years.
A group is quite generous... This is probably their largest non-research and development fund in recent months.
Although the absolute amount does not seem as eye-catching as some private companies, the sincerity is sufficient.
You know, the bonus the chief designer of the J-10 received back then was only 1.5 million.
In this case, I have to spend the money in the most appropriate place.
----There is definitely no need to buy equipment including computers. Just apply directly with Chen Guo.
First buy two new clothes, send some to my parents back home, and add some furniture.
The rest can be saved or splurged as you wish.
After all, in the visible future, there is definitely not much time for him to be willful.
While strolling back to school, Chen Nian planned the use of this "little money", but for some reason, he felt uneasy for no reason.
what happened?
Everything obviously went smoothly.
Project No. 22 was successfully launched, and the speed of accumulation of source points exceeded expectations. The next step is to analyze the power module or analyze individual technical difficulties separately.
It seemed like everything was on track.
I really can't figure out what it is, and it makes me feel heart palpitated.
Chen Nian took out his cell phone and took a look. The time was December 6, 2003. It was an ordinary day. In his impression, nothing special happened in history.
So where did this premonition come from?
Chen Nian shook his head, trying to dispel the distracting thoughts in his heart, but at this moment, a strange roar suddenly sounded in his ears.
He subconsciously raised his head, and was surprised to find that everyone on the street stopped in unison and looked up at the sky.
Following people's gazes, Chen Nian's eyes gradually became serious.
In the sky not far away, an earth-yellow fighter jet was slowly passing over the city, trailing a faint trail of smoke.
And this fighter jet is undoubtedly China's most advanced third-generation aircraft, the J-10.
Pedestrians around looked at this scene with curiosity, commenting and sighing at the elegance and calmness of this new aircraft.
But Chen Nian looked serious, and he suddenly understood where his heart palpitations just now came from.
The plane gave him a hint.
Yes, it is December 6, 2003. This is indeed an absolutely normal day.
However, for aviation people, this day is a major decision point.
On this day, after completing the preliminary flight experiments and confirming that the engine performance was basically satisfactory, China and Russia started negotiations on the import of AL-31FN engines, and subsequently gradually confirmed contracts for more than 600 engines of this type. .
Most of these imported engines are used in the J-10 that is about to enter service.
Is this a good thing?
In a way, this is a good thing.
Because the AL-31FN solves the urgent need for "heart" in China's aviation industry at this time, and makes up for the gap where the WS-10 engine progress lags behind the development of the J-10.
At least, it allowed Jian Shi to fly, take over the burden of the already overwhelmed Ba Ye, and build a not too thick wall when the sky of the Republic was extremely empty.
But what about beyond that? Is there really no negative impact from this purchase?
no!
Later, the J-10 fighter jets equipped with AL-31FN had three major accidents within two months, and these three major accidents were all caused by the Russian-made AL-31FN engine!
Even if a maintenance production line for this engine was later introduced into the country, its poor reliability was not completely changed.
This also led to subsequent accidents of the J-10, and many accidents were even caused by the breakage of the main shaft of the AL-31FN engine...
From the perspective of future omniscience, the J-10, a fighter that should have better development, is actually the biggest failure is this engine.
More importantly, large-scale imported engines actually had a considerable impact on the development of the domestic aviation industry. This impact lasted until after 2005, until the country began to react, change its strategy, and reduce the number of engines year by year. Import volume gradually improved.
To put it more extreme, the AL-31FN actually dragged down the WS-10 and WS-15, as well as the J-10.
Now...
With the No. 22 project also facing the problem of lack of power, will this engine also drag down the new "J-22"?
Will!
Because this is originally the most stable solution in the current context and in the foreseeable future.
Due to the lack of real flight data, the military at this time could not discover the problem with this engine at all.
Who knew at this time that high-agility fighter jets such as the J-10 and J-20 inflicted so much damage on their engines?
Everyone thinks that just using it is enough!
Therefore, the greatest possibility is that after this purchase is facilitated, all current projects will be forced to adapt to this engine.
The original version of the J-20 was not spared.
Project No. 22 is naturally no exception.
But if this is the case, Project 22 will be completely meaningless.
Chen Nian suddenly woke up.
No wonder I had been feeling uneasy before. It turned out that something was indeed happening.
In the previous life, I had seen reports about this purchase decision and thought about the significance of this purchase, but overall, I was not very impressed.
However, this memory remained in the subconscious in the end. When I returned to this date and contacted the most important project No. 22, the memory came back to me.
It was so risky, I almost missed an important window period...
Chen Nian patted his head with lingering fear, thinking about his next plan as he walked.
Now that you know the cause of the problem, you must find a way to do something.
Procurement cannot be done. Not only is it a waste of money, but the actual effectiveness is not very high.
What's more, China already has a better choice at this time.
F119-PW-100!
I now have 1.12 source points on hand and can analyze this engine at any time.
As long as the analysis is completed, there is a high probability that it can be built in a short time, so why do we need the AL-31FN? !
Thinking of this, Chen Nian already made a decision in his heart.
The next analysis will definitely be used on the power system.
However, before that, I had to call Lei Gang to stop this purchase...
