Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The super plant incident at the Black Technology Research Center subsided quickly and did not cause much turmoil. Because the place where Eva was intercepted was an uninhabited grassland, there were no witnesses.  After these super plants were removed, the grassland became bald. Fortunately, the super plants died and decayed and formed relatively good fertility. Qi Yiming quickly found someone to sow grass seeds here.  It's spring now, and I believe it won't be long before there will be grassland vegetation here again.

    In February 1990, China¡¯s first global defense equipment exhibition opened in Tianjin.  Qi Yiming is committed to making it a world-class defense exhibition, and also to build a platform for Chinese weapons to better enter the market.  The scale of the first Tianjin Defense Exhibition eclipses any previous international defense exhibition in the world. The exhibition hall alone covers an area of ??260 square meters, and the exhibition center is also extremely exquisite and full of the beauty of post-modern art.

    The defense exhibition is divided into several parts: aviation defense exhibition, maritime defense exhibition, army defense exhibition and electronic defense exhibition. In addition to more than 300 defense equipment companies in China, there are also hundreds of peers from all over the world participating, including  Well-known American companies such as Lockheed, Grumman, Northrop, and Raytheon also made an appearance.

    The first few days of the exhibition are only open to professionals. This is also the time when major transactions may occur. The public opening days in the next few days are more for ordinary people to have fun.

    Grumman's Pelehak also represented the company at this international defense exhibition this time. He originally wanted to sell face to China. After all, Grumman and China had maintained some cooperation before, but when he really came  After arriving at the Tianjin International Defense Exhibition, he discovered that the scale of this defense exhibition, the complete range of projects, and the professional design were unprecedented. He decisively asked the company to increase the number of exhibitors and invest more energy. He had a premonition that in the next two years,  This International Defense Exhibition is likely to become the largest international defense exhibition in the world, bringing endless business opportunities.

    Pelehak met Small, a person in charge of Northrop Corporation, who was also from the American arms giant.  Although the two companies are rivals, the two executives still maintain basic etiquette to say hello to each other.

    Small said politely: "The Chinese have hosted an amazing defense exhibition. I think our company will become a frequent visitor here in the future."

    "That's right." Pelehak responded, "It's just that when the Tianjin Defense Exhibition becomes more famous, in order to prevent companies from other countries from competing fiercely with Chinese companies, they will definitely limit the number of foreign companies participating in the future.  ¡±

    Small smiled and said: "Don't worry too much about this. Even if there are restrictions, they won't be restricted by big companies like Northrop, Grumman, and Lockheed."

    "That's right, haha." As the leading company in the industry, they think very highly of themselves. Although the rise of Chinese companies in the past two years has brought some trouble to American arms dealers, their sense of crisis is not particularly strong.  , still believes that China can at most confuse the markets of third world countries.

    Small flipped through his schedule and said, "It was said that there will be a flight show and demonstration at noon today. Are you going to take a look?"

    Pelehak asked: "What kind of aircraft is it? China's lightweight Xiaolong?" Although China has sold many aircraft over the years, the one that is most well-known is the Fl Xiaolong fighter. Although  This fighter is not the most powerful fighter in China, but it is recognized by industry insiders as the most competitive fighter in the world because of its operational superiority, affordability and combat versatility.

    Many countries have purchased hundreds of Xiaolong fighters from China. Some people also optimistically estimate that although the Chinese military has no plans to adopt Xiaolong, the final shipment volume of Fl should be more than a thousand.  There are still many third-world countries with poor economies that cannot afford to buy newer fighters, but in ten years there will definitely be more countries hoping to acquire third-generation main fighters, so China's Xiaolong is undoubtedly a very good choice.  .

    Asian countries such as Myanmar and Sri Lanka, South American countries such as Venezuela and Colombia, and even some wealthier African countries have the potential to purchase the high-quality and low-cost fighter aircraft of the Xiaolong.

    Small shook his head and said: "I didn't say which Chinese fighter jets will participate in the show, but I think that since we are the host, 80% of all Chinese fighter jets will be on display, including a few that they do not export.

    China's fighter jet exports have always puzzled many people in the industry. As a heavy-duty aircraft, the F9 Shadow Leopard can be sold, but China's own medium-sized aircraft J-10 Raptor is not for sale, and exports are an order of magnitude lighter.  Xiaolong.  Common speculation is that China itself believes that the performance of the medium-sized fighter Raptor they designed is so good that for its own safety considerations, the J-10 should not enter the arms export market, thereby letting other countries know the secrets of the J-10.  In recent years, the J-10 has been a particularly mysterious fighter aircraft in the eyes of aviation experts and military fans from various countries. Some people have deliberately used the aerodynamic shape of the J-10 to infer that it is stronger than other fighters.? reason.

    Pelehak added: "There are really quite a few fighter jets arranged for the flight display this time. In addition to Chinese fighter jets, there are even Soviet MiG-29s. The French also brought their Mirage-406. This  There are quite a few parts and components produced in China. There are also rumors that Saddam is in contact with the French to purchase this fighter jet."

    Small shook his head and said: "Saddam has been having bad debts with Iran for eight years and has almost completely destroyed his originally strong family. If he still wants to increase investment in armaments, I'm afraid he will need to  More oilfield interests will be given to other countries.¡±

    Small looked at Pelehak again and said with a smile: "Your company's Tomcat will also perform this time, won't it?"

    Pelehak nodded, quite proudly, and said: "Yes, the pilots of the Chinese Naval Aviation Force will fly a B14CN fighter plane for a flight performance, and our company will also carry out certain publicity activities to support it."

    He immediately said with regret: "After all, the unit cost of the B14 is too high, and it is also a carrier-based aircraft. Generally, countries with aircraft carriers have the ability to manufacture the carrier-based aircraft they need, so the market for the F-14 has been difficult to develop.  Now, it has to face competition from the B15, the French Mirage 260, the Soviet Su-27 and even the Chinese F9. Although I still firmly believe that the B14 is the strongest among all these heavy fighters, I am still not optimistic about the future sales of the B14.  ¡±

    Small understands that Pellehak is not being modest. The navies of China and the United States are the only two users of the B14, and the total purchase volume is almost more than a thousand. Perhaps China will continue to manufacture BlN fighters in the future, but  They had already obtained the production license from Grumman before, and had basically completed the localization project. It didn't matter how many Grumman they rebuilt, and they couldn't make much money.

    The two people wandered to the aviation defense exhibition venue with their own thoughts. This was a newly built airport facility a few years ago. It was 26 meters long and had two parallel runways. Pelehak guessed that this should be  A military airport in China.  There are not many hangars and other facilities here, only towers and other buildings are built there in isolation.  Pelehak pondered that it was most likely that the Chinese built underground hangars to increase wartime survivability.

    The two of them arrived relatively late, and there were already airplanes performing in the sky. Small checked the schedule and said: "This is China's August 1st Aerobatic Display Team, which is performing its opening performance."

    Pelehak nodded and looked at the fighter planes dancing in the sky. These fighter planes were painted in dark blue performance paint and had red painted wings on their wings. They looked like a mighty eagle.  Currently, there are only three third-generation fighter aircraft in the world that use third-generation fighter jets for flight demonstrations: the American Thunderbirds, the Soviet Swifts, and the Chinese 813.

    The six Raptors flew in a triangular formation in the sky, and performed a series of maneuvers such as climbing and turning at the same time. The formation was completely undisturbed until the six fighter planes flew into the clouds, and the six fighter planes suddenly dispersed.  Roll down in different directions.  The smoke puller sprays out streams of colorful smoke, which is really beautiful in the sky.

    These are relatively basic flight performance movements, and later more thrilling movements such as dual-plane flying are also performed in front of the audience.  Pelehak said: "This demonstration team has worked hard, and it should be considered one of the best flight demonstration teams in the world."

    In another dimension, the Bayi Aerobatic Team is limited by many factors and has never been famous around the world. Qi Yiming is committed to making the Bayi Aerobatic Team here into a world-renowned aerobatic team.  Team.  The equipment they use is the best, can complete a variety of complex and difficult maneuvers, and has the highest accuracy rate. They can also obtain more auxiliary means and training hours to improve themselves.

    The above things that are common to everyone can be said to make everyone admire the Bayi Performance Team with admiration, but they will never be too popular. It was not until the following performance that the audience was stunned.

    A J-10 that was preparing to fly through the field at low altitude flew directly to the runway, only 20 meters above the ground. Then it made an action that no one expected, and the fuselage turned belly up.

    "Oh my God, this is suicide," Small exclaimed. Those knowledgeable people know that the turbulent airflow and narrow movement space at low altitudes are most likely to cause accidents to these fighter jets. However, this Chinese pilot actually flew at ultra-low altitudes.  He still dares to do a turn over and perform a low-altitude pass here. This is no longer amazing, but terrifying.

    After traveling more than a thousand meters at low altitude, the J-10's canards swung and then pulled up. The aircraft flew directly in a semicircle in the air and completed the maneuver of pointing the cockpit upward again.

    After the completion of this almost suicidal super stunt, the entire audience cheered, delighted that they had witnessed this incredible scene.
