"Mr. Mikoyan, nice to meet you." After getting out of the plane, Qin Baoshan cordially shook the hand of the person opposite him. No matter what, the other person came to greet him, it was for his face, Qin Baoshan must be kind.
Moreover, if the war is over and Qin Baoshan can still stay in this world, he will definitely have contact with Mikoyan. After all, almost all the aircraft in New China are MiGs.
"We are very happy to see that the equipment in the hands of our friends in the east is getting better and better. Your military industry is developing well. We have seen some weapons produced by you yourself, which are very distinctive." Mikoyan muttered: "We believe that you must have the need to use the aircraft."
Of course, the Eighth Route Army has a demand for aircraft, but what the Eighth Route Army wants is advanced aircraft, not an aircraft that will be outdated after spending a high price.
Qin Baoshan thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time, he said to Mikoyan: "Yes, Mr. Mikoyan, we do have a need for aircraft. If there are thousands of fighter planes protecting our heads, then we I will definitely be able to protect my motherland and defeat any invaders, I wonder if you have heard of the name of the pilot Feng Ru?"
Aircraft designers must have heard of Feng Ru, just like Americans want to know about Washington, and the French need to know about Napoleon. Although Feng Ru is not as famous as the Wright Brothers, Feng Ru is indeed a great pioneer of flying. up.
Hearing Qin Baoshan's words, Mikoyan nodded: "Yes, of course I know him, he is a great pioneer of flying."
"Back then, Feng Ru's ideal was to have thousands of fighter planes to protect the sky of our motherland." Qin Baoshan said: "Unfortunately, his ideal has not yet been realized."
"We will help you realize it." Mikoyan said to Qin Baoshan: "Have you heard of our MiG-3 fighter? It is our main fighter. If you need it, we are willing to export this fighter to you. I believe you will be interested in this fighter."
Hearing Mikoyan's words, Qin Baoshan reacted, yes, in the Mikoyan Design Bureau, this aircraft is available.
At that time, Mikoyan and Grevich left the Tupolev Design Bureau and started their own business. The first aircraft they manufactured was the MiG-1, but this aircraft had various problems, so , and was not put into use by the troops. Later, after modification, it became the MiG-3. This aircraft was mass-produced. Before the start of Operation Barbarossa, half of the Soviet Air Force's aircraft were MiG-3. Grid-3.
From this point of view, the MiG-3 is successful. However, this aircraft was unlucky. When the war started, it was destroyed by the Luftwaffe on the runway in large numbers. It took the Germans half a year to fight. When they arrived in Moscow, the Mikoyan Design Bureau was transferred accordingly.
After the transfer, the Mikoyan Design Bureau continued to produce the MiG-3 for a period of time. After that, the Soviet Union shifted its focus to the production of attack aircraft.
This is of course because their engine output was insufficient. Under the circumstances at the time, what the Soviets needed more was ground attack aircraft and air combat aircraft, and the United States could provide a lot of assistance. So the Soviet Union simply stopped the production of MiG-3 fighter jets.
Later, Mikoyan designed the MiG-7 fighter, but the output of this fighter was not very high. The Mikoyan Design Bureau really shined, and that would have to wait until the era of jets. In the era of propeller aircraft, it was almost entirely dominated by Yak fighters and Lavochkin fighters.
Now Mi Gaoyang is kindly holding Qin Baoshan's hand, and what he said is a kind of enthusiasm.
"Our MiG-3 fighter jets use a mixed metal and wood structure. So you can use the excellent trees in the Northeast to build this aircraft. We believe that this aircraft is the most suitable choice for you."
What is the most important thing for an aircraft? Definitely not that shell. During the war, the Soviet Union's metal production capacity was not enough, so many of their planes were made of wood, which didn't matter, but the engine would never go wrong.
Hearing what Mikoyan said at this time, Qin Baoshan couldn't bear it anymore, and he said to the other party: "If we introduce MiG-3 fighter jets, can the engines of this aircraft also be introduced into the production line?"
In this era, the technologies of aero engines and tank engines are similar, with the exception of fighter jets that can fly to high altitudes. After reaching high altitudes, due to the thin air, a special supercharger is required to allow the aircraft to exert its full potential at high altitudes.
And this supercharger?That requires rare metal materials to manufacture. Without these materials, the aircraft can only fly at an altitude of three to four kilometers at most.
So Qin Baoshan asked directly about the condition of the engine. Hearing Qin Baoshan's question, Mi Gaoyang was a little embarrassed. He said to Qin Baoshan: "Currently, with your industrial base, it is impossible to produce advanced aircraft engines. Therefore, you will need to order engines from us for a long time."
Qin Baoshan nodded: "Yes, our current industrial strength is not enough, we can only produce one aircraft shell. The engine of the aircraft needs to be provided by you, then there will be a problem. If we introduce a production line , to produce our aircraft, but if we can¡¯t wait for the engine, then the aircraft we produce will still not be able to fly.¡±
"Please rest assured, we will definitely ensure a stable supply of engines." Mikoyan patted his chest and promised.
Qin Baoshan shook his head: "We don't want to embarrass you, if we want to introduce a production line. Then we simply import a thousand aircraft engines at the same time. These engines are imported together with the production line and placed in our warehouse. If we need them, we can directly You can put the engine on the plane."
At this time, Mikoyan's face was obviously abnormal. He didn't know how Qin Baoshan knew about the shortage of engines in the Soviet Union. Mikoyan designed the aircraft, so he didn't care about the engine. Apply to superiors. So if they want to sell the production line, then they only need to sell the production line of the aircraft, which has nothing to do with the engine.
Anyway, they don't plan to continue to produce propeller planes anymore, they have new research directions. These production lines are considered outdated, but when it comes to Qin Baoshan, the dead engines are not put away. If the production line is to be introduced, then 1,000 engines must be purchased at the same time, which is impossible. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
