Chapter 869 Beast Mounted on J-11B

"Forget it... let's not talk about Er Mao's side for now."

Chang Haonan waved his hands and decided not to think about the things he couldn't change for the time being, but to change the topic in a real sense:

"When we met before, I told you that if there was a chance, we could try to build a transportation line to the Levant region on the east coast of the Mediterranean. Are there any plans for this?"

"Um……"

Wu Yifan lowered his head and played with the tea cup in his hand. After pondering for a moment, he answered:

"I can't say."

Chang Haonan did not speak, but looked at the other party with questioning eyes——

What does this hard to say mean?

"In the past few months, I have figured out a route. From the South Caucasus, usually Sukhumi in Abkhazia, I fly directly to Syria in the name of cargo. This way I only need to clear the relationship between the two ends."

Lao Wu replied:

"As a result, in the past few months, the situation in Damascus has been more complicated, and the relationships I had established before have been messed up...especially the people responsible for the entry and exit approval procedures have been replaced from top to bottom, and it's all thanks to me. I was very vigilant. I took a trip last month with completely legal cargo, but I almost didn’t have the cargo hold turned upside down..."

Chang Haonan roughly recalled that the summer and autumn of 2000 should have happened to be the transition period when Hafez passed away but Bashar had not yet fully taken over.

Chaos is normal.

The latter learned a lot of Western things when he was young, and he was still in a relatively fanciful stage, so many of his policies after coming to power were quite different from his father's.

It's already pretty good to have a smooth handover without getting into a fight.

"It's right to be more vigilant."

Chang Haonan nodded:

"If things go slowly, things will be smooth, and people will be at ease. This matter is originally a long-term plan, and it is relatively sensitive. We must ensure the safety of the route to the greatest extent."

Of course Lao Wu understands this, but the feeling of falling short after only missing the mark is still very bad:

"The main problem now is that the border between the three countries of Iraq, Syria and Turkey is a large mountainous area, which should have been an ideal smuggling channel, but neither Baghdad, Ankara nor Damascus can control this place. There are many Kurdish armed forces in the mountains. I have inquired through many lines, but I can’t find a reliable way.”

"Even the American military officer I know told me that the supplies they sent to a group of Kurdish armed forces were robbed by another group on the way..."

Listening to the other party's complaints, Chang Haonan also showed a helpless expression.

This kind of force that is still in a tribal nature, if they can't find a person with enough prestige within them, then there is no hope for outsiders.

In particular, the Kurds themselves are not yet a “nation” in the traditional concept, but more closely related to a group of people with complex origins and similar living customs.

That would be even more troublesome.

"Is it better to avoid that place..."

He had no choice but to suggest:

"Either you can see if you can take the Caspian Sea and the passage left by the ancient Silk Road, or if you have contact with the EU now, you can try taking the Mediterranean sea shipping, but the latter one may be difficult for Europeans to The Lion speaks loudly."

Smuggling under the cover of "humanitarian relief supplies" is a traditional European art, but compared to Eastern Europe and the Middle East, which can fool people with just a few dollars or even supplies, Old Europe's appetite is much greater.

Although Chang Haonan supported Wu Yifan as an official not for profit, but the latter took risks to do such things to make money.

"Let's take a closer look at the situation after I get back to Ermao..."

After Wu Yifan finished speaking, he picked up the cup and drank the wine in one gulp.

"..."

…

After meeting Wu Yifan, Chang Haonan stayed in the capital for about a week in order to wait for Zhuang Bingchang to arrive.

Mainly to emphasize to the latter that there are many participants involved in this project, and except for the experimental field in Mongolia Province, others such as Beihang University, China National Space Administration, and Institute of Geology and Geophysics are basically all in the capital.

Therefore, firstly, try not to make any job transfers before the project is completed, and secondly, after officially starting the research, you may have to stay in the capital.

The latter was regarded as a normal work requirement, so he agreed without much thought.

It can be regarded as resolving a piece of Chang Haonan's heartache——

His experience since his rebirth has shown that there is no fatalism in this worldview, that is, multiple routes will lead to the same result as in the previous life.

Therefore, as long as Zhuang Bingchang can be kept in the capital, there is a high probability that there is no need to worry about his safety.

Of course, in the final analysis, this is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution.

He could manage one Zhuang Bingchang, but he couldn't manage a hundred or a thousand.

In the final analysis, we still need to improve the overall public security level...

With such thoughts, Chang Haonan put Zhuang Bingchang on the plane back to Ji Province, turned around and flew to Shengjing himself.

Although the aviation power and aviation industries are now separated at the project level, after all, whether the aviation engine leaves the aircraft or the aircraft does not have the aviation engine, it will not reach the sky.

The business relationship between the two parties is still quite close.

What's more, when the Turbofan 10 project was established, it was still the period of the head office, which resulted in a considerable number of project team members now working in the Aviation Industry Group, especially the 112 Factory and 601 Research Institute, which are responsible for the development of the J-11WS demonstrator platform.

So, although it was the design finalization and appraisal of the WS-10, the launch ceremony was held at Factory 112.

As the chief designer and representative of the Aviation Power Group, Chang Haonan personally announced on the stage that the national appraisal process had officially begun.

And the background was the two J-11WS parked head to head.

In the next few months, they, as well as another J-11B mass-produced aircraft from the trial production batch, will fly all over China with the appraisal team of the Air Force and the General Armament Department.

Three aircraft and six engines were carried out at the same time to maximize efficiency.

Otherwise, the extreme weather test alone would probably take half a year.

As for why there were only two aircraft in the background...

After Chang Haonan announced the start, the last process of the launch ceremony was the flight performance of the J-11B with the production batch number 00-01.

Moreover, it was not just an ordinary flight show...

With the sharp roar of the engine, the crowd on the apron who were originally watching Chang Haonan turned their heads one after another-

At the end of the runway in the distance, a fighter jet painted in air force gray appeared at some point, slowly accelerating and preparing to take off.

For most people who had never seen the J-11B take off after being equipped with the WS-10A, this scene did not seem to be unusual.

But Chang Haonan could see that the acceleration of this aircraft was a bit low.

Even lower than the original Su-27SK.

This was obviously not normal.

Sure enough, the aircraft, which normally only needed less than one-fifth of the runway to take off, this time used up nearly half of the runway length before slowly lifting its head and pulling up.

And the action was very gentle.

It was no problem for pilots of passenger planes to fly like this, but fighter pilots rarely had this style.

However...

As the plane gradually got closer, the crowd watching also let out a series of exclamations-

From the angle of the ceremony venue, it can be clearly seen that the wings and the bottom of the fuselage of this J-11B are almost filled with various ammunition!

A considerable part of them, even the air force members in the crowd have never seen them completely.

"Oh my..."

Chang Haonan put his hand above his eyebrows and looked at the J-11B that was climbing in the distance with a shocked face.

Of course, he could recognize all the ammunition models.

On the two pylons on the wingtips and the outermost wings, there are four PL-8 close-range air-to-air bombs.

The two pylons slightly inward are in the form of twin pylons with four PL-12 air-to-air bombs that have not yet been officially finalized.

On the innermost side of the wing and the center of the belly, there are four huge KAB1500KR TV-guided bombs.

Finally, also below the air intake, there are two missiles with a similar appearance to the R33, but it is unclear whether they are the original R33 or the prototype of the PL-13...

A rough calculation shows that the total load is about 8.2 tons.

This mounting method will turn the aircraft into a brick, of course, it has no practical significance.

But it is the simplest and crudest means of performance display.

Until the aircraft gradually disappeared from sight, Chang Haonan said to Liu Gaozhuo who was sitting next to him:

"You guys are very extreme this time..."

Unlike the two J-11WS, the 00 batch J-11B belongs to the 11th project. Participating in the identification of the turbofan 10A is only a secondary purpose. The main purpose is to accumulate flight data for the J-11B itself under extreme conditions.

So the specific flight arrangements are made by the 112 factory, and Chang Haonan only knows the general situation.

This time he was also shocked.

The original Su-27SK has a theoretical payload of only about 6 tons, but because it cannot use precision-guided ground weapons, there is actually no chance to use up these 6 tons.

But the J-11B/Su-27SM is a serious multi-purpose fighter.

At this time, Liu Gaozhuo's attention was focused on the crowd in front of him. Looking at the reactions of the crowd, he showed a smile that everything was under control:

"Fortunately, we have tested it before, and it is completely within the capabilities of the new model."

"Besides, doesn't this also show that the performance of the power system is good..."
