Selling small motorcycles in mid-air to kick off the Southern Heavenly Gate Project?

The latest update is now live and awaits your interpretation.

After Xue Rui finished speaking, the entire car fell silent.

At this moment, Gu Jingci and Shi Xiangyang were pondering what Xue Rui had said.

They had already learned this from the forces behind them.

The Yan State Air Force has already considered restarting the J-10 fighter jet project, a third-generation fighter jet.

Furthermore, the Yan State Air Force has discussed this matter several times.

In any case, it's highly likely that the development of a third-generation fighter jet will be launched.

With advanced aero engines and some of the technology and design blueprints for the Su-27 fighter jet, why not start the development of a third-generation fighter jet?

The Yan State Air Force also profited from the massive $7.9 billion arms deal.

Currently, the J-7 and J-8 fighter jets in the hands of the Yan State Air Force are unable to adapt to the increasingly complex international situation.

Therefore, the Yan State Air Force needs a more advanced third-generation fighter jet.

Third-generation fighter jets from other major powers have begun to enter service one after another.

Meanwhile, the Yan Kingdom's air force is still using outdated second-generation fighter jets.

The gap between generations is like an insurmountable chasm.

Why not accelerate the development of third-generation fighter jets now? Are we going to wait until enemy third-generation fighter jets are "showing off" in Yan's airspace and shooting down domestic air force fighter jets before we think about developing third-generation fighter jets?

By then it was too late!

The development of third-generation fighter jets takes time.

It's not like you can develop something immediately after a project is approved.

This requires time for design, research and development, and manufacturing.

Even after it's manufactured, it still needs to undergo continuous test flights.

Only after reaching a certain level can large-scale production begin and the aircraft be deployed to the air force.

This will take at least four years.

Of course, this excludes those with formidable financial resources.

"Money power" can accelerate the development of fighter jets.

Sometimes, the saying "money can make the devil turn the millstone" really does come true.

……

Half an hour later, the car drove into the guesthouse that had been prepared in advance.

Xue Rui and the others returned to their respective residences.

Gu Jingci and Shi Xiangyang returned to their residence first, but the more they thought about it, the more they felt that what Xue Rui had said made sense.

Then, without prior arrangement, the two went to each other's residence.

Suddenly, the two bumped into each other in the corridor.

For a moment, the two glared at each other, neither willing to back down.

Gu Jingci said slowly, "Old Shi, I have some good tea. Come and have a cup!"

"OK!"

Since Gu Jingci offered a way out, Shi Xiangyang followed suit.

The two then went together.

Seeing this from the shadows, Xue Rui's lips curled up slightly, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

He muttered to himself, "They're all old rascals!"

Then he turned around and went back to his room to rest.

He's going back to the Harbin Aviation Administration Industry Bureau tomorrow.

As for the negotiations between Dong'an Machinery Factory and Shenyang Aircraft Industry Group and Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, he doesn't need to continue following up on them.

No need for negotiation.

They reported it directly to their direct superior unit—the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry.

Apply for a grant of $50 million.

The funds were used to purchase some of the technology and design blueprints for Su-27 fighter jets from Dong'an Machinery Factory.

……

Time flies by, and night turns into day.

Xue Rui originally wanted to go back to work at the Harbin Aviation Administration Industry Bureau.

As a result, Qian Huaijin and his son called him and invited him to Dong'an Machinery Factory.

When Xue Rui arrived at Dong'an Machinery Factory, Qian Huaijin invited him to the factory director's office.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Xue Rui took a sip of the hot tea on the table and asked, puzzled.

Both Qian Huaijin and Qian Huaijin are the kind of people who only visit temples when they have something to ask for.

They're all the kind of people who are always there for each other, like Zhong Wuyan when things are going well and Xia Yingchun when things are going smoothly.

He didn't believe the two of them had no intentions.

"Grandpa Xue, we'd like to make contact with Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Company."

After Qian Huaijin finished speaking, Xue Rui guessed their purpose.

Do you want to market the D-30KP-2 turbofan engine to Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Company?

After Xue Rui finished speaking, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

That seems to be the case.

The D-30KP-2 turbofan engine that Dong'an Machinery Factory secretly imported from the Soviet Union was far more advanced than the JT3D-7 aircraft engine purchased from Hewlett-Packard in the United States.

Its performance in every aspect is far superior to the latter.

Another point is that Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Company has to spend US dollars to purchase JT3D-7 aircraft engines.

Even higher-level departments are experiencing a shortage of US dollars.

Why would the higher authorities give so many US dollars to Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Company?

Xue Rui heard more untold secrets than Qian Huaijin.

Although the maiden flight of the Y-10 large passenger aircraft was quite sensational.

However, some leaders do not approve of it.

Especially the leaders of civil aviation.

It's better to buy than to make!

In their view, buying is time-saving, labor-saving, and offers a certain level of security.

After all, there are so many passenger planes flying in the air, providing a wealth of data to support our understanding.

The Y-10 large aircraft developed by Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has a short range and small size, so even if it is purchased, it can only fly short-range flights.

This does not meet the needs of Yan's civil aviation.

In particular, higher-level departments have begun to reduce R&D spending on various projects.

The development of large aircraft requires a huge financial investment.

"Hufei Aviation Manufacturing Company can indeed become a potential customer of your Dong'an Machinery Factory."

Xue Rui had to admire Qian Huaijin's strategic vision.

This will especially help Dong'an Machinery Factory to open up different markets.

The D-30KP-2 turbofan engine is many times more advanced than the JT3D-7 aero engine.

It is more fuel-efficient, has greater thrust, longer range, and lower noise.

It can enable the Y-10 large aircraft to leap from short-range to medium- and long-range flights.

"We not only need to market our D-30KP-2 turbofan engine to Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Company, but also..."

Qian Huaijin said with a slight smile.

So you were just lusting after her body!

Down……

"How could you be so sure that Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s Y-10 large aircraft project would be cancelled?"

Xue Rui felt a sense of curiosity about Qian Huaijin's assessment.

"I'm guessing. The country is in the reform and opening-up phase, and every penny of foreign exchange is extremely precious."

"Furthermore, some leaders believe that buying is worse than building, which is a bad trend. Can advanced technology be bought?"

Qian Huaijin immediately countered with a question.

Qian Zhizhou, who was standing to the side, coughed lightly, interrupting Qian Huaijin.

Don't say everything out loud.

Sometimes, trouble comes from what you say.

Upon seeing this, Qian Huaijin immediately shut up and gently patted his mouth with his hand.

Seeing this, Xue Rui smiled and said, "Only you would dare to say something like that."

Then he solemnly said, "Once we leave here, we must be careful with our words. There are things we can say, and things we cannot say."

Qian Huaijin chuckled sheepishly and said, "Aren't they all family? I'm not afraid!"

Xue Rui rolled his eyes at Qian Huaijin and said irritably, "When it came to dividing the money, why didn't you say we were family? Now you're telling me we're family."

"You get all the benefits; you kick all the bad ones away."

Qian Huaijin scratched his head, feeling quite bewildered.

"The predicament of Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Company is indeed as you guessed. Although it looks very successful now and is in the newspaper from time to time, funding applications are starting to tighten."

Xue Rui revealed something that few people knew.

"You wouldn't happen to have your eye on the development team of the Y-10 large passenger aircraft, would you?"

He's definitely someone who won't get up early for nothing.
