After coming out of Mr. Jiang's office, Zhou Yang asked as he walked: "Mr. Nie, should we leave for the Northeast now, or should we wait a little longer?"
"Do you have anything else to do?" Mr. Nie asked with a smile.
"That's not true, I can do it anytime!"
"Then let's go. I think the Liaoshen Aircraft Factory seems to be in a hurry. There may be some problems with the aircraft and we need to go take a look at it!" Old Nie said.
In fact, Zhou Yang had also thought of this, otherwise Gu Zhenhua and the others would not have forced them to go there in advance.
However, since they insist on the first flight on the fifth day of the new year and have no intention of making postponement adjustments, it should not be a big problem, at least it will not affect the first flight.
Thinking of this, he immediately nodded and said, "Well, let's go then!"
At this time, Mr. Nie suddenly looked at Zhou Yang and said: "If this improved J-8 makes its first flight, it will be a rare opportunity for your research institute!"
"What do you mean by opportunity?"
Nie Nansun immediately said: "You may not be aware of the current situation of the Air Force. All aircraft models in service are outdated and unusable, especially fighter jets, not to mention the advanced fighters of the Thief Eagle and Wooly Bear Alliance. Even compared to countries such as Nanhou and Asan, there is still a certain gap!"
"Under such circumstances, once the J-8 improved model makes its first flight successfully, as long as there are no particularly serious problems, it will definitely become the main fighter of our army in the future, and mass production is inevitable!"
Zhou Yang naturally agrees with this. After all, the J-8 is currently the only second-generation fighter in our country.
Even though the air combat theory has changed again, the high-altitude and high-speed performance that once served as the hallmark of second-generation fighter jets have become outdated, replaced by low-altitude maneuverability, over-the-horizon radar and more advanced missile weapon systems.
But this is one of the few air combat weapons that we can use, and large-scale equipment troops are inevitable. Even in the next twenty years, the J-8 and its improved versions were our country's main fighter aircraft, achieving the famous " "Ba Ye".
At this time, Nie Nansun said again: "Just now Mr. Jiang asked you to provide radar equipment for fighter planes. This is to establish a radar production base based on your research institute. Once this base is determined, then you will do everything from research and development to production. With that, your position will no longer be that of a small secondary research institute!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Yes, this is indeed a good thing!"
Although they can develop it themselves, they have to wait for other brother units to help produce it before they can test it.
Once the production base is established, they can design and test at the same time, and the efficiency will be improved by more than a little.
"This is a good thing, but at the same time you must also consider how to go in the future!" said Mr. Nie.
"Hey, there's something in your words?" Zhou Yang looked at him and said.
Nie Nansun smiled and said: "It saves effort to talk to you kid. Mr. Jiang talked to me yesterday and said that he wanted to make your research institute independent. What do you think?"
"independent?"
"Yes, the Babaoliang Research Institute is now under the name of the Aerospace Program Project Department and is our second-level unit. Almost everything needs to be implemented through the Aerospace Program Project Department!"
Then Nie Nansun said again: "But what Mr. Jiang means is that your research institute has almost no contact with Qingcheng in terms of design and research and development, and you have now successively developed airborne radars, artillery sighting radars, and are still The research and development of early warning aircraft radars has far exceeded the capabilities of a second-level unit and should be directly managed by the Equipment Department!"
Zhou Yang thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Jiang's idea is good, but I think it's too early to be independent now!"
"why is that?"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "First of all, the staffing and organizational structure in Babaoliang Village are not very complete, and they cannot operate completely independently in a short period of time. Apart from anything else, the staff alone cannot do without the support of Qingcheng. !”
"If we become independent, what will Yan Haisheng, Qiao Weiguo, Gu Chenghua and others do? Should they withdraw to Qingcheng or stay in the institute?"
"This... this can be discussed slowly!" Nie Nansun said.
Zhou Yang smiled and said again: "Besides, during this period of time, we basically just immersed ourselves in research and didn't care about anything else, especially since we had almost no interaction with other fraternal units. The city has never come forward, and it is impossible to conduct business suddenly when it is independent!”
"The last point is that the Babaoliang Research Institute has only been established for a short period of time. It only takes one year to fully calculate. Suddenly it has to be on an equal footing with large units such as Jinling 14th Research Institute and Neijiang 607th Research Institute. It is inevitable that people will gossip about it and it is easy to be targeted by enemy agents. Targeted, so judging from our current situation, it is not suitable to come to the front desk!"
"My boy will eventually go out on his own, but the conditions don't allow it now?" Nie Nansun said with a smile.
Zhou Yang also smiled and said: "Haha, Mr. Nie, in fact, you also understand that when Mr. Jiang and others started to create the 888 Factory series of products, it was inevitable to operate independently!"
Nie Nansun let out a long sigh, and then said: "You're right, I actually expected this from the beginning, but I didn't expect you guys to develop so fast!"
"Mr. Nie, let's put aside the independent operation of the research institute for now. At least we should maintain the status quo until the early warning aircraft radar is developed!" Zhou Yang said.
There are pros and cons to operating independently!
The advantage is that once it operates independently, the level and specifications of the institute can be improved in all aspects.
After all, they are now just a second-level unit under the Sky Eye Project, and their development in all aspects is limited. After becoming independent, they can break through this restriction.
Secondly, his own level and voice will inevitably increase. Currently, he is still a project member of the Sky and Sky Project and is managed by Mr. Nie, Yang Donghai and others.
Once he operates independently, he will be like Mr. Nie now, independently in charge of a large-scale military industrial unit integrating R&D and production, and his voice will naturally be different.
But there are gains and losses. Once they operate independently, they will have to do everything by themselves.
At present, all the researchers at the Babaoliang Research Institute can conduct research with peace of mind, including Zhou Yang himself, who does not care about other things and is not greedy for bad things. This is all because Mr. Nie and others are on top.
If they were really allowed to carry it on their own, let alone whether they could carry it or not, even if they could, it would greatly distract their energy.
Therefore, before the early warning aircraft radar project is completed, Zhou Yang really has no idea of operating independently!
Nie Nansun thought for a moment and said, "I can only tell Mr. Jiang what you think about this matter, but you know, neither you nor I have the power to make a decision on this matter!"
"clear..."
While talking, several people left the military camp building.
At this time, a man who looked like an officer was waiting for them at the door of the command building.
After seeing them, the other party immediately stepped forward to salute a military salute, and then said: "Chief, the plane is ready, please come with me!"
"good!"
Afterwards, Nie Nansun took the lead, led Zhou Yang and others into the jeep convoy outside, and followed the officer straight to the military airport in the distance!
When everyone arrived at the airport, they saw a brand new IL-14 standing on the runway of the airport, which was obviously prepared for them.
After Zhou Yang saw the plane, he felt a little relieved.
This time, maybe because of Nie Nansun's influence, I finally no longer have to sit upright.
To be honest, he was really scared by the Z-5 helicopter. Sitting on that thing was like sitting on a stuffy train. The noise and speed were simply a torture!
At this time, the crew was ready for takeoff.
After Zhou Yang and others boarded the plane, the plane slowly slid off the runway and then soared into the sky!
