93: Is this the transporter technology you want?

Chapter 93: Is This the Transport Aircraft Technology You Wanted? Don't Kill Anyone Below the Wheel? They Laid the Wheel Flat!

Inside the room.

Zhang Yuli, who was using strong tea to stay awake, heard this and quickly waved his hand: "Notify him now? Forget it, I still want to get a good night's sleep."

"Let's wait until tomorrow. Call him over tomorrow morning."

Didn't he know Zhao Qing's temperament?

If that guy heard that Xia Academy of Sciences had super large transport aircraft technology, would the two of them even think about sleeping tonight?

He would probably rush over that very night for an all-night discussion, and only leave satisfied after finalizing the entire transport aircraft development plan. By then, it would be dawn.

He had been busy all day, and his spirit was already exhausted.

Zheng Lixing echoed: "That's good too."

The next day, early morning.

The entire Xia Academy of Sciences was quiet amidst the birdsong and fragrant flowers, with occasional sounds of commotion.

Especially when many rare hybrid varieties planted in the adjacent botanical garden had their seeds eaten by wild birds, several wails would then be heard.

Then, several people would chase after them with a scoop net, shouting: "Don't run, that's my thesis!"

At this moment.

A figure hurried into Xia Academy of Sciences; it was Zhao Qing.

He walked into the director's office, full of questions.

As soon as he saw them, Zhao Qing said unhappily: "Old Zhang, why did you call me over in such a hurry?"

"Are you planning to return the liang of premium Pu-erh tea you owe me? Or are you planning to trick me out of another bottle of good wine?"

"I don't have much time, so you two, if you have something to say, say it quickly."

Zhao Qing's return to Yanjing this time was only for two days. He had to fly back to West Flight tomorrow to continue his research and development work.

He had originally planned to use today's free time to visit some old friends and get together.

Hearing these words full of complaints, Zheng Lixing, who was always young at heart, couldn't help but tease: "Old Zhao, do you know what COMAC reported to us recently?"

"COMAC's business?"

Zhao Qing frowned: "I heard they're developing a domestic large aircraft recently. What's wrong?"

After all, the news of COMAC and CFM Company's breakdown in talks had already spread far and wide.

However, the general rumor outside was that COMAC was dissatisfied with CFM Company's integrated propulsion system, the LEAP-X engine, and planned to switch to another engine supplier. The specific company's technology to be adopted was still confidential.

But for Zhao Qing, how could he not know that COMAC was preparing to build a 100% domestically produced large aircraft? As for airworthiness certificates? Would adopting Western-provided engine technology mean that Eagleland and Europe would easily grant the C919 aircraft an airworthiness certificate?

Never overestimate the moral psychology of those barbarians in the West; they would definitely use various reasons to reject Da Xia's C919 airworthiness certificate application.

Hearing this.

Zheng Lixing seemed to be watching Zhao Qing with an expression of anticipation: "COMAC is said to be able to make the C919 project's first flight within the next few years, adopting 100% technology from design to construction across all processes."

Over the past month or so, Da Xia Commercial Aircraft's research and development progress has been extremely fast, with a major breakthrough in a key technology every few days.

"Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?" Zhao Qing muttered: "COMAC can produce a domestic large aircraft in just a few years?"

After all, the C919 project and the 072 Project, a strategic transport aircraft, both fall under the category of 'large aircraft projects.' It's just that the former likely considers economic practicality more, while the latter considers strategic needs.

Their Y-20 project was actually surpassed; who could feel good about that?

Zhao Qing was still complaining internally, wondering where Xu Qianren found such talent.

Why are these technological breakthroughs happening as if they cost nothing? This isn't research and development; it's faster than copying homework when he was in school.

Thinking of this.

Zhao Qing stood up directly: "I'm going back to West Flight now. I refuse to believe that the 072 Project can be slower than COMAC!"

He had originally planned to meet up with Li Yunshan, Factory Director, but now that he heard this news, he was in no mood.

He had to fly back to West Flight 601 Research Institute immediately and strive for it no matter what.

Looking at Zhao Qing's back, who was about to turn and leave.

Zhang Yuli spoke at just the right moment: "Oh? In that case, your 072 Project team doesn't seem to need transport aircraft technology much anymore?"

Zhao Qing, who had been walking fluidly towards the door, felt his heart skip a beat, and quickly retracted the leg he had stepped out with.

"Yes, who said no? I've never said such 'bullshit' before!"

He sat back in his chair at lightning speed, staring intently at Zhang Yuli: "What transport aircraft technology?"

"The complete set of technology for a super-large strategic transport aircraft." Zhang Yuli said calmly while sipping his tea.

"Hiss... What did you say?"

Zhao Qing gasped, his excited voice echoing through the entire office.

"Super-large strategic transport aircraft technology? A complete set of technology?"

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

It was no wonder Zhao Qing was so shocked; this news was simply too outrageous.

One must know that a large strategic transport aircraft is defined as an aircraft with a takeoff weight greater than one hundred tons, and the Y-20 currently being developed by West Flight falls within this range.

And the complete set of technology for a super-large strategic transport aircraft? He wouldn't even dare to dream that big, for fear of waking up laughing.

"Old Zhang, you're not joking, are you?" Zhao Qing said suspiciously: "I can't handle such extremes of joy and sorrow."

There are only a few models of transport aircraft in the world that can be called that, and it's not that simple.

Upon hearing this.

"This is a small part of the technical data; you can take a look first." Zhang Yuli took a stack of blueprints from the table.

Zhao Qing took it and glanced at it, seeing densely packed technical summaries.

【Technical parameters and implementation essentials of a super-thrust high bypass ratio engine】

【Takeoff thrust: 230KN】

【Overall pressure ratio: 33.5】

【Bypass ratio: 5.16】

【Engine summary: This model is constructed from five large modular units, utilizing a modular design. The high-pressure compressor casing is made of M-152 alloy steel. The inner bypass airflow channel uses 12 welded radial struts for the outer bypass duct.】

Page after page was covered with blueprints and calculation formulas, making his eyes widen.

Especially these technical parameters, which looked exceptionally familiar to him, and he murmured in shock: 'Isn't this the military version of the General Electric CF6-80C2 engine parameters?'

'In other words, this super-large strategic transport technology is actually the Eagleland's C-5M strategic transport aircraft?'

Thinking of this, Zhao Qing's heart pounded even more violently.

After all, among the few aircraft globally that could be called super-large transport aircraft, besides Old Maozi's An-225 and An-124, there was only Eagleland's C-5 transport aircraft.

And it was the technology for the latest model, the C-5M.

Zheng Lixing chuckled from the side: "How about it? How is this super-large transport aircraft technology?"

"Good, very good."

Zhao Qing could only use such simple words to describe his excited emotions.

What was the source? He didn't care.

As long as the technology was real and feasible, that was more important than anything else.

However.

After excitedly drinking several large cups of tea and spending two more hours reading through the stack of technical data.

Zhao Qing gradually calmed down, his brow furrowing instantly: "This technology is good, but it's not quite suitable for the Y-20."

After all, the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft developed by West Flight had a design payload of over sixty tons, while this super-large strategic transport aircraft had a design payload of over a hundred tons, and a takeoff weight approaching four hundred tons, a true behemoth.

The difference between the two was simply too great.

If they were to upgrade based on the Y-20, it would be no less than completely restarting the project.

This was a difficult choice for Zhao Qing. After all, the Y-20 was the culmination of several years of hard work by their entire project team, and he really didn't want to give it up just like that.

But if this kind of super-large transport aircraft was not developed and built quickly, he would also regret it.

This was simply a dilemma.

"Then let's start two transport aircraft projects simultaneously. Doesn't that solve it?"

Zheng Lixing said with a hint of a smile: "What, Old Zhao, don't you have confidence?"

Since it's hard to choose, then don't choose; just take them all.

Zhao Qing glanced at him: "Are you kidding? Would I lack confidence? Didn't Da Xia Commercial Aircraft say that the C919 large aircraft would make its first flight in the next few years?"

"Give West Flight five years... no, within these four years, just wait and see both transport aircraft make their first flights."

He was confident that the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft could make its first flight within two years, and it was not impossible for the super-large transport aircraft to be developed within four or five years.

After all, with a complete set of technical data now available, if they didn't even have this much confidence, what kind of transport aircraft would they be building?

"Good, you said it." Zhang Yuli clapped his hands and nodded: "Then I'll be waiting for your good news."

These two types of transport aircraft are very important for Da Xia's strategic transport capabilities, and the sooner they are developed, the better.

Without strategic transport capabilities, they would be limited to domestic operations.

"I'll start writing the research and development plan now."

Zhao Qing walked directly to the desk and picked up Zhang Yuli's fountain pen: "Pen!"

He couldn't wait to return to West Flight; he wanted to start acting immediately.

At this moment.

In another corner of the world.

Middle East, Gaza Strip.

In a conference room, everyone's faces were solemn.

"Our losses have been too severe recently; the number of drones has been completely depleted."

A man with his arm bandaged said with a deep frown: "We must find a way."

Their drones were still on the way, so they had to continue waiting for them to arrive.

Without the assistance of drones, their resistance organization had fewer and fewer means of attack.

And in recent days, Israel's counterattacks and massacres had become increasingly frantic, reaching a point where both gods and men were outraged.

All Gazans are Hamas; in ancient times, children shorter than a chariot wheel were not killed.

Now Israel is doing the same, but they have laid the wheel flat.

"We absolutely cannot let the front line push back." The leader, Faso Alonka, looked at everyone and said with immense determination.

The hope that the Palestinians had so painstakingly ignited could not be extinguished like this.

Their homeland was behind them; they could not retreat another step.
