Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 227: The Fighter That Eagle Sauce Loves But Cannot Get (Subscribe)

The news of Miss Qiu's marriage made us all excited for a long time. Although Yang Ning felt sorry that he could not witness this historical moment in person, considering that he could not leave the ship research area, he could only bury this regret in his heart and plunged into warship research.

The National Day also quietly arrived in the afterglow of Miss Qiu's wedding. However, this year's National Day not only did the brother countries with which we have established diplomatic relations send representatives to congratulate us, but even some countries in the Western camp also sent representatives to participate and discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations with us.

All I can say is, as long as you have a weapon in your hand, there are good people around you.

However, after Miss Qiu got married, we seemed to have gone into hiding again. Apart from focusing on development and consolidating our foundation, we have not achieved any amazing results.

However, what other countries don’t know is that as we have gained the confidence not to be bullied, in order to avoid overly provoking other countries, we have started to hide things again.

For example, in Sichuan Province, a new wind tunnel laboratory has quietly begun construction.

This wind tunnel was built by Guo after he conquered the detonation theory and realized that the energy generated by the explosion gas could be no longer contained, which could provide a greater pressure difference for the wind tunnel.

Although Yang Ning was sent to Shanghai to assist in the design and research of the warship, before he left, he had already helped Mr. Guo and his team complete the basic research on explosion theory. The only thing left was the design and manufacture of the wind tunnel.

Compared with the one in Sijiucheng, the jet nozzle of this wind tunnel has a diameter of 2 meters and can simulate flight experiments of 30 to 3000 Mach at a high temperature of 2℃ for more than 5 milliseconds.

Once this wind tunnel is completed, it will mean that we have completely gotten rid of our dependence on Big Brother in this regard, which will allow us to walk more steadily on the road of independent development.

Just a few days after our National Day, Big Brother launched a large satellite, perhaps in order to strengthen his position in the camp.

It is indeed a large satellite. On October 10, the first artificial satellite of mankind, "Sputnik 4", was successfully launched by Big Brother on this day, just as in history, thus opening the space age for mankind.

This achievement stunned the Western world and also caused a huge sensation in the world.

However, Yang Ning was not surprised at this time. Just when everyone was proud of Big Brother's achievement, a piece of news in an inconspicuous corner of a Western newspaper caught his attention.

Just when everyone was attracted by the big satellite of Big Brother, on the same day, the CF105 "arrow" independently developed by the Maple Leaf Country was launched.

The fighter jet also successfully made its first flight.

"Hiss~" When Yang Ning saw the news, the memories that had been buried in the corner couldn't help but emerge.

This fighter jet can be said to be the biggest regret in the aviation history of the Maple Leaf Country.

Historically, this fighter had completed all flight tests two years after its first flight. However, just on the eve of being equipped with the Maple Leaf Country Air Force, the production of this fighter was suddenly stopped. All the previous investments of the Iver Aircraft Manufacturing Company, which was responsible for the research of this fighter, were wasted, and it finally had to go bankrupt.

The reason for this result is that the Maple Leaf Country is too far away from heaven and too close to Eagle Sauce.

The CF105 "Arrow" fighter is the world's first aircraft to adopt an electronic control system and be operated without taking the hands off the stick.

This design was not used for the first time until 20 years later when the Eagle Sauce was used on F15 and F16 fighter jets.

The CF105 "Arrow" fighter has attracted the close attention of the United States since the early stages of its development, and the United States is even willing to lose face and join the project.

However, the answer of the proud Maple Leaf Country Royal Air Force is: "No!"

Now the Americans are very unhappy. Who are you, your neighbor, developing such an advanced fighter jet to defend against?

Since you won't let me join, don't blame me for being rude! But Eagle Sauce is a bad guy!

After being rejected at first, he acted as if he didn't care and even enthusiastically helped the Maple Leaf Country test the fighter.

The more the Americans tested it, the more unwilling they became. This fighter jet is so good, but it's a pity that it's not theirs.

However, in order to teach the Maple Leaf Country a lesson, the Eagle Sauce endured it until the fighter jet had completed all flight tests and was about to be put into service. At that time, the Eagle Sauce suddenly became angry and forced the Maple Leaf Country government to cancel the project on the grounds that the fighter jet was too advanced and must be prevented from being stolen by the enemy. Even the research data was required to be destroyed, and all prototypes were destroyed.

Then, unable to bear such losses, the Iver Aircraft Manufacturing Company went bankrupt, and all the researchers and technical workers involved in this fighter were taken away by the Eagle Sauce.

This time, the backbone of Maple Leaf Airlines' development was directly broken, and it has since become a vassal of the Eagle Sauce.

Therefore, the fate of this fighter jet was already determined when the Americans loved it but couldn't get it.

Thinking about the fate of this fighter, Yang Ning wondered, should we do something?
If we can obtain the electronic control technology and overall design of this fighter jet from it, then our third-generation aircraft will be able to avoid many detours.

But there is no rush now. According to historical development, it will take another two years for the Eagle Sauce to do anything to the Maple Leaf Country's fighter jet.

Moreover, this kind of thing needs to be reported to the higher-ups first, and cannot be known to too many people.

What Yang Ning needs to do now is to quickly complete the civilian-to-military research on our ship technology. It is October, which is already late autumn.

I don't know how my family is doing in Beijing. When I came here, my wife Hu Yinghong was already pregnant. I don't know if there is anyone to take care of her.
"Comrade Yang Ning, thank you so much this time. Without your help, we would not have been able to complete the design of these two warships so quickly."

The weather in Shanghai in November is not too cold, but there is already a slight chill.

After several months of hard work, the design of the light missile destroyer and large supply ship has finally been completed.

As soon as the design here was completed, Yang Ning was anxious to go back. The leaders of the Navy and the Shanghai Shipyard tried to retain him several times, but Yang Ning refused.

In desperation, they could only let Yang Ning go.

However, considering that Yang Ning has been in Shanghai for so long, he has been immersed in research and has not had a good time exploring this bustling metropolis.

So when Yang Ning left, the leaders here not only gave Yang Ning many Shanghai specialties, but also personally sent him to the platform.

"Haha, I just played a supporting role. The fact that this project was completed so quickly is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

After hearing what the leader said, Yang Ning didn't dare to agree to it, so he quickly said modestly.

"Okay, credit should be given to whoever deserves it. If it weren't for you, we don't know when the design of these two warships would be completed!"

"It's a pity that you can't stay here, otherwise the development of our navy will be able to keep up with the pace of the other two brothers!" said the leader with a look of regret.

Through this cooperation, the leader finally understood what it was like to have Yang Ning’s assistance on a research project. It was simply so fast!

Unfortunately, facing the above attention to Yang Ning, it is impossible to keep him here forever, otherwise, how far would our big black fish be?
