"Have you solved all these problems? Did you solve them all by yourself?"
Yang Wei looked at Chen Nian blankly and asked with disbelief in his tone.
He knew very well that on such an occasion, Chen Nian would never make fun of technological progress, but he just couldn't figure it out. How did you do it? ?
Whatever you ask for will be answered, and you will get what you ask for. Is this the magic pen Ma Liang? A wishing machine? Or is it Doraemon from the Japanese cartoon?
The expressions of the others were similar to his. Some even couldn't wait to rush up to read the technical documents of the variable cycle engine, but were directly stopped by the security personnel around Chen Nian.
The man smiled awkwardly, but still looked at the manuscript paper in Chen Nian's hand with eager eyes.
what is that?
For those of them who are engaged in aviation development, that is the future!
If what Chen Nian has in his hands is really a technical document that can support the development and production of variable-cycle engines, then all domestic aircraft manufacturing projects, not to mention the J-20B project, will have to make way for it.
"Mr. Chen, are you kidding?"
Someone asked.
Chen Nian nodded solemnly and replied:
"If it's a fake, it's true. Children and old men can't be deceived."
Hearing this, Yang Wei let out a long breath, and his heart that had been hanging in the air silently relaxed.
This level has been overcome.
In the face of such an intensive technological explosion, no one can question the significance of the J-20B project.
Even if the final aircraft is really useless, even if the aircraft cannot even fly, the accumulation of these technologies alone is worth all the early investment!
What's more, the directionality of these technologies is very clear. You can understand by listening to it that Chen Nian went there because of the "short legs" problem of the J-20B.
Variable cycle engines, fuel tanks, and lightweight materials are all designed to increase the range.
The new beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile PL-17 is obviously designed to still exert the same combat effectiveness even when it is not fully loaded.
However, how powerful is this thing?
This is not something that can be discussed in a conference room.
Yang Wei immediately dismissed the meeting and took Chen Nian into his office.
As soon as the door closed, he couldn't wait to ask:
"Xiao Nian, where are the things? Can you take them out and take a look?"
Chen Nian helplessly spread his hands and replied:
"Currently there are only a few simple pages, which are the core technical points of the variable cycle engine, which I just wrote."
"I can't help it. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to sort out the things in my mind."
"But you know, if I say there is, then there must be."
"I understand, I understand."
Yang Wei nodded repeatedly, and walked around his desk again and again, finally suppressing his surging emotions.
"How did you think of it? How did you think of pre-researching these technologies? Did you already know that we would face such doubts?"
Hearing Yang Wei's question, Chen Nian asked strangely:
"Is this still necessary? Theoretically, any of our exposed projects will face the same doubts."
"It's just that this time the doubt does have some theoretical support, and coupled with the drama played by the Americans, it seems more credible."
"acting?"
Yang Wei's brows wrinkled slightly.
"You mean they won't give up on the F-35B program?"
"How could they give up? The F-35B is the core pillar of their JASF project. The budget invested in it and the benefits involved are immeasurable. Both Lockheed Martin and Boeing have been deeply bound."
"Even if Congress wants to give up, Lockheed Martin and Boeing will never agree."
"Especially Lockheed Martin. Their F-22 project has been suppressed by us, and they are waiting to find a new project to regain their position. How can they abandon the mature F-35B project?"
"It's all just strategies, true and false, false and true."
"We had some unforeseen circumstances, and they were not without them - and judging from the actual situation, their deception was quite effective. Some of our senior officials lost their judgment under this combination of punches."
Hearing this, Yang Wei subconsciously looked at his drawer.
Inside, there were more than a dozen stern questioning documents. Those people were also well-known experts in the industry, but after seeing the intelligence, they all jumped out to question the significance of the J-20B project.
Of course, Yang Wei did not intend to blame them entirely for the problem, because this time, the opponent's strategy was indeed both complete and sophisticated.
The fake news they released is not just a report by foreign media.
The factory is temporarily shut down, employees are on large-scale vacations, senior managers frequently come in and out of NASA, and a large amount of packaging materials used to package equipment are shipped out of the factory and into the experimental site.
All this information has been mastered by our local staff. Judging from the perspective of intelligence science, they can easily draw a conclusion:
The F-35B project will face major changes.
And this is corroborated with public information, making the credibility of the information rise sharply.
Finally, coupled with the actual performance problems of the STOVL fighter, it is not surprising that doubts about the J-20B project suddenly erupted.
Thinking of this, Yang Wei said:
"This time, even I was actually a little shaken."
"Although I know that the project should not go wrong, when I look at the information in my hand and see the other party's categorical statement that the STOVL fighter is not suitable for modern battlefields, I can't help but beat my heart."
"But now that I have stepped away and looked back, I realize that there is a big problem with this matter."
"Emotions arise too quickly, and the scope of the impact is too large. The other party controls the entire rhythm, and we are just led by the nose. Such a situation is simply impossible to achieve without human manipulation."
"yes."
Chen Nian nodded in agreement.
"Anyway, in terms of public opinion, if you find that the popularity and spread of something exceeds your understanding, then nine times out of ten, it will have something to do with Americans."
"They intend to use this soft strategy to disrupt our own layout, increase our internal friction, and thus slow down our project progress little by little."
"The scope of the attack this time is quite small. If they are allowed to seize other opportunities."
Chen Nian paused and said no more.
In fact, the end of 2004 was the time when the Chinese Internet began to grow explosively, and at the same time, it was also the time when a certain big country began to wildly wield the weapons of "public opinion" and "ideology."
The problems encountered by the J-20B project were just a small test of the waters, and because of the bug Chen Nian, the desired effect was not achieved at all.
Later, the big slowdown caused by taking advantage of the high-speed rail incident was their most proud achievement.
After that incident, it took nearly 10 years for the railway system to gradually recover.
The economic losses caused are even more difficult to estimate.
"I understand. This time, it's all thanks to you again."
Yang Wei gently patted Chen Nian's shoulder, his expression extremely sincere.
Then, he opened the drawer of his desk, took out the stack of questioning letters, and said with a smile:
"These idiots didn't even know they were fooled by the Americans."
"Look, many of them are from our direct superior units, even seniors."
"I'm going to call them one by one now and let them see if our project will work!"
