Search engines are a good thing. Liu Kunlun immediately searched the Internet and was really searched by him. This thing does exist. It was one of the design plans for the vertical take-off and landing fighter of the "Four Mission" of my country's military in the late 1960s. The technicians fantasized about adding four cage-shaped lift fans under the fuselage of the J-6 to obtain vertical take-off and landing capabilities, but the project was soon dismissed. When talking about this matter online, it is often described as regret.

"It's very creative." Liu Kunlun praised, but the plane looked indescribable. He stared at the blurry screen, staring at the screen with blurry images, thinking a lot, but he couldn't think of the whole story.

Since you have a starting point, it’s easy to find someone from the Aerospace Technology Group Corporation. The predecessor of this company was called the Aerospace Industry Corporation, and the predecessor of the General Company was the Ministry of Aerospace, and the predecessor of the Aerospace Department was the famous Third Machinery Industry Department.

...

In the yard of a retirement office in Xicheng District, ivy crawlers were covered with red brick walls, and the backyard garden was planted with leeks and green onions. A proud big rooster led a group of hens to stroll. This was the home of a deputy ministerial-level leader of the former Ministry of Aeronautics and Aerospace. The interior furnishings were still in the style of the 1990s. There was a square cloth sofa with a white pillow towel and a tall spittoon next to the sofa.

The old leader is from Hubei and his hometown accent remains unchanged. In this weather, he wears a meticulous Verding Zhongshan outfit. He speaks very vigorously and keeps his cigarettes away. Li Ming and Liu Kunlun come to visit him with a very tough relationship, so he is treated by the old man. The cigarettes are sent one by one to them, and they cannot do it without smoking.

After the old man retired, the tea was cold. People didn't come to visit him often. The children went abroad to get green cards, and there were only staff members of the organization. After listening to the old stories for many years, I was tired of listening to them. Now two young people suddenly came, carrying such thick gifts, specifically listening to old stories from the 1960s and 1970s. The old man was so excited that he started with eight industrial machinery departments and was out of reach.

"The Third Machinery Department was established and abolished many times in the 1950s. First, it was responsible for the manufacturing of this motor, and later it established a special motor department. The Third Machinery Department went to develop this nuclear weapon in this nuclear industry. In 1958, the First Machinery Department and the Second Machinery Department merged into a new First Machinery Department. The original Third Machinery Department was changed to the Second Machinery Department. Two years later, in 1960, the First Machinery Department extracted aviation, weapons, tanks and shipbuilding industries to establish a new Third Machinery Department. By 1963, the Third Machinery Department split out the Fourth Machinery Department, the Fifth Machinery Department and the Sixth Machinery Department, and the Third Machinery Department was responsible for the aviation industry..."

"Old Ping, you should tell us about this No. 4 mission." Li Ming was dizzy and had to interrupt him, urging him to get to the point.

"The No. 4 mission, it starts with the breakup between China and the Soviet Union." Ping was a chief engineer. He was highly skilled and political. He talked about history as a treasure. "In 1969, I will tell you a top secret. On Zhenbao Island incident, our border guards fought with the old men. They were afraid that the situation would escalate, so they would not use guns and fight with bare hands. In terms of physique, we were not as good as the old men. We would suffer losses when fighting. With an order from the top, we recruited large and round wrestlers from the whole country. Inner Mongolia went the most. That good guy beat the old men to cry and shouted at his parents. Later, the Russians stopped doing it and used sticks, and we suffered losses again. We have a way. Don't you use sticks? Let's use thirteen stick monks to save the Tang Dynasty. Do you know about Shaolin Temple? I'll talk to you about the story of the Thirteen Stick Monk saving the Tang King."

Liu Kunlun couldn't bear it anymore: "Old Ping, these jokes are available online, not top secrets."

"Oh, the time is up, it's decrypted." Old Ping was indifferent, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, and began to talk about task No. 4, but necessary preparations were still indispensable.

"Anyway, we are going to fight with the Soviet Union. If we fight, it will be a nuclear war, a world war. The Soviet nuclear weapons, air force and artillery armored soldiers are relatively powerful. In the first week of the war, our airports will be destroyed. What should we do if there are so many fighter jets that cannot take off? The British gave us ideas. Didn't Britain have Harrier fighters? Vertical take-off and landing. We also do this. Lin Biao was the Minister of Defense and the Deputy Commander. At that time, he ordered the project to be launched. The time was tight and the task was heavy. The Third Ministry of Machinery and the Air Force cooperated. In the summer of 1969, he decided to hold a meeting in Beijing to decide to take-off and land the vertical short-range take-off and landing fighter jet project. In October, the number of capable forces was drawn to start the task. The code-named Mission No. 4. According to the research plan, the July 1st aircraft in 1971 was launched."

Speaking of this, Mr. Ping was excited and slapped the table and said, "What are the conditions for the British? What are our conditions? The British have been at the forefront of the world's science and technology since the Industrial Revolution. It took more than ten years to develop the Harrier. Our leaders asked for a year and a half to go to heaven. It was not only ridiculous, it was simply ridiculous!"

Li Ming said: "Ping Lao calms down, do you still remember how far this No. 4 mission has been carried out?"

Mr. Ping said: "There were several plans at that time, one of which was what you mentioned. Installing a lift fan on the basis of J-6. Think about it, how big the size and weight of the four fans is, it will be fatal to the aerodynamic layout of the fighter. Not to mention going to the sky, it can't even get up!"

"That's why this plan has not actually been implemented?"

"Yes, it means that the people below cannot count and act as real in order to deal with the plans that the leaders have rushed. This cannot be blamed on them. The leaders have to go on the horse regardless of the constraints of objective conditions. Comrades are clever women and can only serve in this way."

"What happened later?" Liu Kunlun asked.

"Later, the Sino-Soviet War did not break out, and Deputy Commander Lin failed first. The Air Force was his base, and the Air Force Commander Wu Faxian was his person. His son was the Air Force Operations Minister. At that time, the army troops entered the air force and completely cleaned up the remaining members of the Lin team. This No. 4 mission was arrested by Lin, so he naturally dismissed."

Liu Kunlun said: "Old Ping, what do you mean is that Mission No. 4 has never created any prototypes, they only exist on paper?"

Old Ping lit a cigarette and nodded seriously: "That's it."

Liu Kunlun took out an A4-sized photo and presented it: "Old Ping, come and take a look at this, how do you explain it?"

Mr. Ping took off his glasses, changed into a reading glasses and looked carefully. His emotions fluctuated a little. He asked, "Where did you take the photo? When?"

"A few months ago, in the Ali area of ​​Tibet, the altitude of this mountain is 6,000 meters..." Li Ming was interrupted by Mr. Ping before he finished speaking: "I want the specific latitude and longitude."

"I have to go back and check this." Li Ming said, observing his expression, and from Mr. Ping's expression, this plane really existed.

Suddenly, Old Ping changed his style and said, "This picture is from PS."

Li Ming said: "It's really not. I took it by accident. If Kunlun hadn't been curious, he would have regarded it as an ordinary plane."

Mr. Ping said: "The Ali area is an area that is not suitable for human habitation. It is also in the middle of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The combat radius of J-6 is 680 kilometers and the ceiling is 17,500 meters, but on the plateau, it is flying J-6... Haha, you are teasing me, small bags! Save guests."

Xiao Bao is a staff member next to Mr. Ping, a honest young man from his hometown in Hubei. He came to chase people when he heard the commander's call. Li Ming and Liu Kunlun did not expect that the funny and talkative Mr. Ping would suddenly change his face and were pushed and pushed out by Mr. Xiao Bao, and the gifts they brought were also swept out.

The door closed with a slam.

"This old man, you can turn your back on me?" Liu Kunlun was so angry that he almost wanted to kick the door.

"Maybe it's related to the plane." Li Ming remembered that the big photo was always in Mr. Ping's hand. Logically speaking, the PS photo should have been torn to pieces and thrown away.

In the room, Mr. Ping seemed to be ten years older. He whispered: "Small bags, just take them away, why are the gifts thrown out?"

...

On the way back, Li Ming said that I would make a bet with you, and the old man would have to come to us in three days.

Liu Kunlun said how much does it cost to bet.

"Gambling for 50 cents." Li Ming swore.

Three days later, the old man came to invite Liu Kunlun and Li Ming in person, saying that there was something important to talk about. When the two heard that there was a family, they immediately visited the door for the second time, and the gift was more abundant than the last time.

This time, Mr. Ping no longer had a foggy attitude, but showed the pragmatic and seeking attitude of the scientific and technological personnel of the Third Department of Machinery and said straight to the point: "I was rude last time and my emotions were a bit out of control. I am very serious, and I am very serious." While saying that, he shook his head and slapped his black folding fan quickly on his chest.

Liu Kunlun asked: "How old is it?"

"It is related to the future of the country and nation, no, it is related to the future of mankind." Mr. Ping was very serious. "Forty years, in the blink of an eye, this was once a top-secret project in the country, and the confidentiality period was permanent. But I went to inquire these days and found out that the person who knew about this matter was dead, and I was the only one left. In other words, the country no longer knew the existence of this project. Now that you can only be regarded as a lunatic. Since you have witnessed this plane, it doesn't matter to tell you."

"Let's listen carefully." Li Ming said, and stepped forward to light a cigarette for Mr. Ping.

"I was engaged in engines that year. Mission No. 4 transferred more than 150 backbone from 601 and 112. They formed a company with relevant Air Force personnel to attack the tough. At that time, they were in Shenyang and were doing this in Shenfei. Suddenly one day, the organization arranged for me and three other people on a business trip. We flew west from the Air Force Airport in Shenyang for a day. When we arrived at the place, we found out that it was Xinjiang. The military handed us to one person, and there were some strange things. It is said that it was very helpful for the development of high-power engines. However, before I encountered the physical object, I was taken down because of the external adjustment problem of the old unit. I signed a confidentiality agreement and left Xinjiang. When I returned to Shenyang, I heard that Mission No. 4 had the latest plan, which was the incredible plan to add four lift fans under the J-6. This is a very stupid idea. It is completely disrespectful and unrespectful things. It is not realistic."

Speaking of this, Mr. Ping paused: "The world is afraid of it, but you know that our scientific cognition is limited. If there is an engine with huge power, then let alone the J-Six-Plus fan, even a Type 59 tank can go into the sky and fly."
