Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

The 14 institutions without money are like a phoenix that has been plucked. In fact, according to Zhao Guoqing’s understanding, the problem of insufficient funds will continue for more than ten years. This is a life-threatening situation!

"Xiao Zhao, I know what you are thinking, and I will definitely give you a reply on this matter!"

Zhao Guoqing nodded. He didn't expect to change his mind at once.

However, when thinking about light-emitting semiconductors, there are dozens of patents involved in manufacturing processes, structural forms, and phosphor materials. If the country gives up patents, the losses will be huge.

He also counts on the LED industry to support domestic semiconductors.

After thinking about it, Zhao Guoqing took a long breath. He needs more supporters and a greater voice to influence the big ship of China.

At least we must ensure that during the five-year honeymoon period, domestic semiconductors will not be pulled down too much...

After leaving the office, at the stairs, I saw that Director Gao had not left. Coincidentally, Liang Zhujin was also there.

But I just said hello and went downstairs.

Gao Changming looked at Zhao Guoqing and said: "On National Day, it's a good thing for young people to be energetic, but sometimes, you have to restrain your sharp edges. You must understand that toughness can lead to easy breaks."

"..."

I don’t understand. Zhao Guoqing was a little confused by the inexplicable words.

"Um, um, why did you have a quarrel with Director Liu!"

"That's it!" Zhao Guoqing said with a smile: "Director Liu said they were going to build a high-purity gallium nitride factory, so I said, 30% of the factory's benefits will be given to 14 of us!"

"..."

Gao Changming was dumbfounded.

"This, National Day, isn't this bad!"

All the expenses of the 14 institutes have always been funded by the state, and scientific research projects are also planned by the state. Although they have some autonomy, if they independently develop projects, they need to report for approval. If the superiors do not approve, they will have no money.

Nowadays, 30% of the efficiency of one factory is given to 14 factories. This seems magical no matter how you look at it. And this money is not a small amount by any means. What if it cannot be spent all and there are not so many projects? Director Gao is very worried.

Zhao Guoqing laughed dumbly. Even his own director, Gao, didn't understand. No wonder, he took the matter apart, crushed it into pieces and told it to director Gao.

Gao Changming's mind was buzzing.

"So, our 14th institute can independently establish projects and conduct independent research and development?"

"When we complete our national tasks, we can naturally give full play to our scientific research advantages. Director Gao, as I said before, chips are a technological high point that radar cannot avoid. If we don't do it, we will always fall behind!"

"There are also computers. The surface calculation of the flanker's aerodynamic shape and the finite element calculation require solving a large number of partial differential equations. Without computers, this efficiency..."

"I told Director Liu that the foreign exchange quota will give us half of the configuration of the 14 institutes. If approved, I would like to buy a foreign large-scale computer and install it in the mountains. What do you think..."

How about it? Of course it's better.

One thing that everyone in China's scientific and technological circles knows is that there is now a mainframe in Beijing. Last year, it imported the Antax 3000 mainframe from IBM of the United States, which is considered to be very advanced in the world.

The Americans specified in the contract that they required a glass room to be built specifically for this mainframe computer. The operators would all be Americans. If China had any computing tasks, they would be directly operated by these Americans.

The computer I bought cannot be touched by myself, and I have to support a dozen Americans. The salary of these Americans is paid by the state, which is considered a wonder of the world.

The contract also states that it cannot be used for military purposes. If it is used for military purposes, it needs to be reported to the United States for approval.

All I can do is laugh!

Many people want to break this status quo. In Gao Changming's view, Zhao Guoqing must be a staunch member, but this matter is not very reliable no matter how you look at it.

"National Day, the purpose of our 14th establishment is to manufacture Flanker-specific radars for the military that meet the requirements. By the way, air-to-air missile guidance is also involved. As you said, the semiconductor industry covers smelting, design, manufacturing processes, and chips. , finished products, and by the way, there are also finished products for civilian use, what kind of whole industry chain is this?”

Zhao Guoqing nodded seriously and said: "Yes, if the country's smelting and chips were as developed as the West, I wouldn't bother to worry about it, but the current situation is that they are holding back, holding back our 14th institute... "

"..."

Gao Changming sighed with emotion, shook his head, and said helplessly: "Your thoughts have gone to the United Nations!"

Hey, Zhao Guoqing sighed, why doesn’t Director Gao understand? Is electronic technology a matter for each company to clear its doors? If any link is compromised, someone may pinch you.

Zhao Guoqing looked up to the sky and sighed. From the corner of his eye, he saw Liang Zhujin standing at the window, holding a tea cup and looking aggressively in the direction where he was standing.

Gao Changming followed Zhao Guoqing's gaze and his expression suddenly turned bad...

"Let's go, National Day, I think what you said makes sense!"

"real?"

"Well, we will hold a meeting to discuss this matter when we get back. Don't worry, Institute 14 will always be on your side."

…………

When Gao Changming returned to the guest house, he was about to buy tickets to go to wx.

Zhao Guoqing looked helpless and said, "Director Gao, we don't have a letter of introduction?"

Gao Changming was stunned. This time he came to the capital unexpectedly, and there was no schedule for the wafer factory.

Besides, Institute 14 is a confidential unit, and the letter of introduction is only applicable to confidential units. If you want to visit the wafer fab, you also need a letter of introduction from Chengdu Aircraft Headquarters.

"National Day, how about we go back first and come back after opening the letter of introduction? What do you think?"

"Director, it's not like you haven't ridden on the green train before. It's very smoky inside. It probably takes two or three days to get from here to Mianzhou. It takes six days to go back and forth, and nine days to go back again. If you're a high-ranking person, you can take a sleeper berth. I If you have thin arms and thin legs and squeeze into a hard seat, you won't be afraid that I will fall apart."

"It's okay, I can book a berth for you as a follower..."

Zhao Guoqing was speechless and said: "Director Gao, it's not a matter of sleeper or hard seat now. I think we don't need to go back and forth in such a short time!"

"..."

"Director Gao, do you think this will work? Let's call Chengdu Aircraft Headquarters and ask them to open a letter of introduction and send it over..."

"No, it will take a few days. Let's go to wx and wait for them... But it still doesn't work..."

In this day and age, without a letter of introduction, you can’t go anywhere, even stay in a hostel.

But Gao Changming was not willing to stay in the guest house of the Academy of Sciences. In Gao Changming's view, Liang Zhujin was just a villain and did not do human affairs...

"I have a classmate at Jiaotong University. It's National Day. How about we go to the guest house of Jiaotong University?"

"Okay, as long as you have a place to live!"

…………

As September of 1984 approached, the honeymoon period between China and the United States began, and the negotiations between the two sides had already yielded many results.

The military purchases include Black Hawk helicopters, F16 fighter jets, new artillery radars, large-caliber howitzers and a series of other achievements.

These are America's top weapons.

Of course, what excites the Chinese people the most is the J8 Reform project.

China has never just bought weapons. From the time when MiG fighters became J-7 and J-8, manufacturing has been our goal.

The Americans are quite sincere this time and have basically opened up their weapons supermarket to China's choice.

More than 50 military and technical backbones selected from various departments and enterprises of industry, national defense, science and technology, and military industry across the country gathered in Shanghai.

They will set foot on the soil of the United States to inspect Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Grumman, etc. The trip will also include the United Kingdom, France and other European countries.

Not only the United States, but also Europe has opened its doors to China...

The forty-year window period that affects China has begun...
