Chapter 2297 Aerial Refueling Aircraft

Logistics Department, Research Base.

Qin Lao walked in the empty base with his hands behind his back.

Not far away, a group of people were gathered in groups of three or five, arguing, frowning, or clenching their fists in excitement.

Qin Lao walked past the crowd and came to a warehouse guarded by many guards, looking at the aircraft being disassembled inside.

This was the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft captured last time.

Of course, the aircraft here at this moment was a processed aircraft.

The original precision instruments in the aircraft have been transferred to the research institutes of relevant departments.

Especially the camera system, radar scanning system, recording system, etc. inside, which will become the key research projects in China.

Even so, the remaining ones are enough for their logistics department to work.

Today, researchers from all over the country gather here for better research, studying every detail of the aircraft.

In particular, several famous domestic aircraft factories have sent a large number of scientific researchers to measure and analyze, hoping to use this opportunity to improve the research and development level of domestic aircraft.

In this regard, Qin Lao and his team also won a research project.

That is the research on the engine and fuel tank of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft.

Get up where you fall.

The previous engine failure is a scar on their logistics department.

To heal this scar, you have to make up for it with glory.

One of the two engines of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft was given to the Third Machine Department, and they have begun to dismantle the rest.

After watching for a while, I saw those R&D personnel wearing shoe covers and gloves, each of them was cautious, just like treating their own children.

He knew that in the hearts of these people, this plane was closer than their children.

"Look, this material is different from other materials in weight and color, look."

A surprised voice came from not far away, and Qin Lao just took a look and continued to walk away.

If it was a few days ago, he might have run over to check the situation with joy.

But this kind of surprise has been heard too much during this period.

A little discovery will surprise these people.

That feeling is like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, everything is new.

The exclamation behind him is still there, but Qin Lao has quickened his pace.

"Director Xiao, what's the progress?"

When he came to the office on the second floor, Qin Lao walked in with his hands behind his back and asked casually.

Xiao Feng, who was checking the information at his desk, immediately raised his head when he heard the voice, and then stood up from the desk.

"Chief, you are here!"

Qin Lao waved his hand and looked at Xiao Feng.

"Chief, the dismantling has begun, and all departments are ready!"

"But..."

"But what?"

Qin Lao looked down at the document and asked without raising his head.

Xiao Feng was a little helpless, then took the water cup on the table and handed it to Qin Lao and said, "You didn't read the report from above!"

Qin Lao raised his head, "The report from above?"

Then he realized something and said, "I don't have time to read that these two days, just tell me!"

Xiao Feng took a deep breath and explained, "According to the confession of the Blackbird pilot who surrendered, the Blackbird aircraft uses elastic fuel tanks."

"Elastic fuel tanks?"

Qin Lao felt that this name was familiar, and he forgot who told him about it.

Xiao Feng continued, "This elastic fuel tank is actually an unsealed fuel tank, so when the aircraft is stationary or at low speed, fuel will seep out!"

"Oil leak?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

Old Qin was a little confused. Seeing that Xiao Feng wanted to talk, he stopped talking and asked Xiao Feng to speak quickly.

"Because this design is suitable for the high-speed flight of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft!"

"At that time, the speed of the aircraft was fast, the friction temperature was high, the aircraft engine would expand, and the extended engine would heal the gap to prevent the aircraft from leaking oil!"

"So, when their Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft conducts long-distance reconnaissance, it will be preheated on the ground first, then fly into the air, and then use the aerial refueling machine to refuel!"

As Xiao Feng spoke, Old Qin's face became more and more serious.

What aerial refueling? They don't even have a refueling plane, let alone this technology!

"So, after everyone understands this situation, they are a little..."

"It hurts morale!"

Xiao Feng said this, feeling a little helpless.

Other people's things are in front of them, but their own people can't even copy them.

This is a call for experts from all over the country!

Qin Lao's eyebrows were almost twisted together, and he suddenly said, "Then our Baiju also flew out of the highway, why is it okay?"

Xiao Feng continued to smile bitterly, "Chief, I heard that our two Baiju are still in the hangar for repair!"

Qin Lao was stunned, and then reacted, and said solemnly, "First organize people to study. So many people are here. If we can't make something, how will we explain it?"

"Other things, don't worry about us!"

Xiao Feng nodded silently, feeling a little uneasy.

When the superiors gave this task to their logistics equipment, he thought it was a supreme honor.

But now I know that in this matter, those who have the ability are called honor.

Those who don't have the ability, that's called making a fool of themselves.

"By the way, who came from the Ninth Department of Machinery?"

Qin Lao suddenly asked, and Xiao Feng immediately replied, "Not many people from the Ninth Department."

"Not many? This doesn't seem like the style of Yang Xiaotao."

"He let go of such a good opportunity?"

"There's something fishy."

Mr. Qin was talking to himself, and he was even more curious, so he asked, "Who are they here?"

"There are three research groups in total."

"Radar, materials and skin."

"That's all?"

Mr. Qin was curious again. He had heard from Mr. Zhang earlier that before the plane was shipped out, Yang Xiaotao wanted to dismantle the plane and study it.

But this is all about luck in the Forty-Nine Cities, so why don’t you take it seriously?

Xiao Feng nodded, "Yes, just these three."

"However, the people in these three research groups are all very capable, especially the radar research group, which has made considerable progress."

"This is the fastest progress in our research."

Mr. Qin was stunned. He originally thought that Yang Xiaotao didn't pay attention to it, but now it seems that he was too busy with the Jiubu business.

After all, the newly established department must have a lot of things to do.

In addition, there are many tasks and complex personnel, and it is natural that they cannot tell their origins.

Mr. Qin thought of a reason for Yang Xiaotao.

Little did he know that Yang Xiaotao's greatest interest in the Blackbird was the radar skin and materials.

Others are either not interested or incapable, so they might as well focus on the key points.

"Let's see if there are talents locally. Comrades from the institute will also work hard to produce results as soon as possible."

After Mr. Qin finished speaking, he turned around and left. Xiao Feng responded seriously behind him.

Right now, this is the most important thing for the logistics department.

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

At noon, Mr. Qin returned to the resting area after eating. Just as he was about to lie down and rest, he heard the guard say that Mr. Zhang was here.

There was no need to rest now, so he quickly got up and walked to the office.

As soon as he sat down, Mr. Zhang walked in with a serious look, which made people know that something was wrong.

"Old Zhang, if you don't stay in the military camp, what are you doing here in such a hurry?"

"My waist still hurts. Don't bother me."

Mr. Qin took one look and picked up the jar and started drinking water.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang sat down on the sofa, and then asked angrily, "Old Qin, how is your research going?"

"What else can I do?"

Mr. Qin asked back. Mr. Zhang was about to speak, but he still didn't say what he thought of.

After a long time, Mr. Qin said, "I read the report. This aircraft is not easy to operate."

"The gap between us and others is so huge, we can't easily close it."

Mr. Zhang picked up the jar on the table and poured a glass of water. He held it in his hand to warm it for a while, thinking about how to speak.

When Mr. Qin saw that Mr. Zhang was silent, he spoke again, "You know about the fuel tank, right?"

"Haha, refueling in the air, let's forget it, let's not talk about it."

But after Mr. Qin finished speaking, Mr. Zhang put down his cup and finally said, "That's why I came here this time."

Mr. Qin frowned, "What do you mean?"

"You want to get a gas pump?"

There was a touch of excitement in Mr. Zhang's eyes, "Yes, yes, it's a gas pump."

"Old Qin, according to the prisoners' confession, the safety of this aerial refueling technology is guaranteed, and our people have studied it and only need to make slight changes to the fuel tank."

"The best aircraft we have now is the Baiju, but the range is short, I just thought."

"Don't think about it."

Mr. Qin interrupted Mr. Zhang, "We haven't finished the engine yet, and we still need the refueling machine. You go find someone else."

Mr. Zhang laughed and said, "If I could find someone else, I would have gone there long ago and come to find you."

"Then you really have the wrong person."

Mr. Qin refused directly. They really didn't think about this gas pump.

More importantly, he has no confidence.

"Old Qin, you have to help with this matter. You just happen to be researching engines, so you won't be able to make them without aircraft."

"This gas pump is just fine."

"You also have an aircraft design institute and you can design aircraft. At the worst, you can just find an aircraft and improve it."

"Besides, this aerial refueling technology might be of great use. If you study it now, it will have a place in the future."

"Come on, we still have a place even if we don't work as gas pumps."

Mr. Qin was unmoved.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Old Qin, are you really not going to help?"

Mr. Qin remained silent for a long time before saying, "Old Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't help."

"Look, with just one engine and a telescopic fuel tank, we have a huge headache. How can we make a tanker with just this?"

"You might as well go to Jiubu and have a look. Maybe they can find a solution."

Hearing what Mr. Qin said, Mr. Zhang sighed.

"You think I haven't thought about it."

Mr. Qin raised his head, "What's wrong? Have you been there?"

"No, but I told Yang Xiaotao to help support the twenty White Horses, but there has been no movement yet."

"What should I do? What if I go to press for it, and they use the excuse of researching the refueling machine to not produce Baiju?"

"Didn't I lose money?"

Mr. Qin didn't know what to say after hearing this.

This old Zhang's brain circuit is really novel.

"How many planes do you want him to support you with?"

Mr. Qin suddenly became curious.

Mr. Zhang chuckled. Every time he thought of this, he felt happy. Then he stretched out two fingers and said, "Twenty, how about it? Is it a profit?"

Mr. Qin almost spat out the water in his mouth after hearing this.

"Twenty planes? Do you know what the mission from above is to the Nine Machinery Department? Fifty planes."

"you"

"Did he agree?"

Old Zhang nodded vigorously, "If he didn't agree, could I say it?"

Old Qin was even more curious, and then he looked at Old Zhang, his eyes full of scrutiny.

What benefits did Old Zhang give to Yang Xiaotao?

Is there any private deal?

"Forget it, let's talk about business."

Old Zhang thought it would be better to not publicize this matter. What if Yang Xiaotao was unhappy and learned from Old Wang's shameless behavior, wouldn't he lose out?

"Old Qin, help me, this refueling machine is really important."

Old Qin was still thinking about the tricks between the two. When he heard what Old Zhang said, he came to his senses and asked, "Is it because of this?"

Old Zhang nodded. Compared with the refueling machine, he wanted the Baiju fighter more now.

The more the better.

Old Qin picked up the cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and said this time, "If you want to make this gas station, you'd better go to the Ninth Machinery Department."

"Other machinery departments have their own things to do. Only they have just been established, so they may be interested."

"As for that, Yang Xiaotao won't make it difficult for you with his personality."

"Just go with peace of mind."

Old Zhang was a little skeptical, but it was obvious that he couldn't get a definite answer from Old Qin, so he could only leave the logistics department with a try-it attitude and then rush to the Ninth Machinery Department.
