Chen Geng looked at the people in front of him. These people should be all the elite forces of Xifei in aircraft design, right?

Mao Donghai said politely: "Mr. Chen, do you say a few words to everyone?" Seeing that Chen Geng was trying to refuse, Mao Donghai said sincerely: "Mr. Chen, don't be polite. I have told you a long time ago that all my views on this Iraq War were learned from you. Everyone has long wanted to hear your views on our improvement of the H-6 and R&D H-8. Colleagues, please welcome Mr. Chen to tell us a few words, are you okay?"

"good!"

In the large conference room that could accommodate nearly a hundred people, everyone immediately applauded, and at the same time looked at the young man on the rostrum with scorching eyes.

Everyone has heard of Chen Geng's predictions about the Iraq War many times. To be honest, as an employee of the aviation industry, of course, everyone wishes that the Air Force will play a more important role in modern warfare, but before the war broke out, everyone was half-believing and half-doubted about Chen Geng's arguments: Will the modern war model become like this? The military expenditure of this war model is so huge, it is like driving a truck and throwing a truck full of US dollars into the sea. No matter how rich the Americans are, they are reluctant to spend so much money, right?

But the facts prove that Americans are willing to spend money like this. At the same time, it also proves that this seemingly wasteful approach is actually the most cost-saving model - at least the pension for soldiers who are killed and injured can basically be omitted. To be honest, this new combat model can indeed complete the attack on the enemy with the highest efficiency at the fastest speed. The results achieved by the multinational coalition led by the United States in the past few days are equivalent to the results achieved in several months or even half a year under the traditional combat model. After this comparison, I immediately felt that the Americans' high-tech war model should actually be vigorously promoted.

"Okay, then I'll just say a few words," Chen Geng was not polite. After a moment of pondering, Chen Geng looked at everyone and asked: "Everyone is a professional and senior expert in the aviation industry. So before I talk about the topic of 'What kind of bombers should our country develop in the next 20 years or even longer', I want to ask everyone, based on your observations of the US coalition in the past few days, what kind of bombers do we think our country needs in the next 20 years or even longer? Well, everyone can speak freely."

No one was polite. As soon as Chen Geng finished speaking, everyone immediately expressed their opinions:

"The US military's F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter has shown extremely high combat effectiveness in this war. I think our bombers should also focus on stealth and precise strikes."

"It is necessary to develop precision strike weapons with long ranges, such as long-range cruise missiles with a range of more than 500 kilometers. Although the survivability of the US Air Force's B-52H bomber is very poor, through effective cooperation with the "Tomahawk" long-range cruise missile, it is possible to conduct precise acupoint strikes on high-value strategic targets such as enemy command centers, power plants, radar stations, etc. outside the enemy's defense zone..."

"In the future, aircraft will appear more as a platform. As a platform, the flight performance of the aircraft may not be very good, but it must have a long bomb load, a large range, a certain command, early warning and electronic warfare capabilities, and be able to perform combat missions in a complex electromagnetic battlefield environment..."

"Data links are also very important. With data link technology, our weapons can launch more precise strikes."

"There must be air early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft! Although air early warning aircraft cannot directly launch a strike against enemy targets, the early warning role of air early warning aircraft in the war has become increasingly important..."

…………

Well, as we talked, we couldn't help but fall into a mess.

"I think everyone said it well, but they all ignored the current actual situation of our country," amid the sound of crooked buildings, a voice sounded: "I think that based on the current actual situation of our country, whether it is to improve the Hong-6 or develop the Hong-8, we must base ourselves on the current actual situation of our country and not blindly beg for the big and complete."

Who is this? Not many people can keep their mind calm at this time. Chen Geng looked in the direction of the sound, well, a young man in his early 30s, this person is... Tang Changhong, chief designer of Yun-20?!

It is rumored that after completing the design of the large transport aircraft of the China-20, Mr. Tang Changhong, who began to serve as the chief designer of the Hong-20 stealth strategic bomber?

Is it really him?

Chen Geng was a little doubted whether he had read it wrong. He looked carefully and said, yes, it was indeed Mr. Tang Changhong, the chief designer of Yun-20.

Then he remembered that according to Mr. Tang Changhong's resume, he had served as a designer, deputy chief designer and chief designer in the research and development projects of many military and civil aircraft such as MPC-75, AE100, Y-7-200, J-H-7A, etc. After completing the research and development of the J-H-7A fighter bomber, he became the chief designer of my country's Y-20 large transport aircraft. Now, Chief Tang looks a little immature!

Speaking of which, Chief Teacher Tang and his group are simply a legend, especially the 5381 class of the Western Technology University where Chief Teacher Tang is located, with only 27 people in total, but the first large transport aircraft transport-20 chief designer, Mr. Tang Changhong, the chief designer of my country's first large transport aircraft transport-20, Mr. Yang Wei, the chief designer of stealth fighter J-20, Ms. Zhao Xia, deputy chief designer of heavy carrier-based fighter J-15, and other legendary figures such as Chairman Jia Annian, Zhengfei Group of AVIC.

Chen Geng has been curious whether the Feng Shui of the Western Technology University was particularly good at that time?

Well, Chen Geng has also been wronged.

This is an opportunity to touch the chief engineer close up, Chen Geng said with a smile: "Mr. Tang Changhong, right? If I remember correctly, you seem to be an engineer on the MPC-75 project?"

Tang Changhong didn't expect that Chen Geng knew him. Not only did he know that he was working in the MPC-75 aircraft project, but he also pointed out his name and position. He was immediately excited and nodded quickly: "Yes, it's me...Mr. Chen, I...I've seen you."

This great god, who was admired by countless people several years later, has just graduated from Beihang University for less than two years and is just a miserable front-line engineer. Just like Chen Geng, who knew the identity of Chief Commander Tang, was very excited when he saw the great god. In Tang Changhong's view, Chen Geng, the person who brought the MPC-75 civil aircraft project back from the Jedi, was a real great man. What's even more rare is that this great man also found a heart for MPC-75 from the Soviet Union, which is amazing.

Chief Secretary Tang is now crazy about the chairman of Runhua Industrial, who is two years younger than him: Look at him, he is several years younger than him, and has achieved such great achievements. Compare with him... Hi, how can we compare with him?

"I, I know you," Chen Geng said with a smile: "You graduated from Xi'an University of Technology in 1982. Your class is Class 5381. After graduating from Xi'an University of Technology, you went to Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics to study for a master's degree in solid mechanics. After graduating from Beihang University, you came to Xi'an Aircraft Corporation and joined the MPC-75 project team. I'm right?"

"Yes! Yes! That's right!" Seeing that Chen Geng remembered his resume so clearly, Chief Secretary Tang's face turned red with excitement and he kept nodding.

The group of people around him were also envious, jealous and hated Tang Changhong: Why did this guy have such good luck that he was remembered by Chairman Chen?

Chen Geng turned his head and said to Mao Donghai: "Mr. Mao, let me tell you that Comrade Tang Changhong is a talented person and has a lot of insight."

As soon as Chen Geng said this, Mao Donghai knew what he meant and asked himself to take care of this young man more on weekdays. Although he didn't know why Chen Geng suddenly had a green eye for this Tang Changhong, this is not a problem. He also had some impression of this Tang Changhong. A young man with a very down-to-earth and capable one was the most difficult thing about him. He thought very flexible. Even without Chen Geng's strong recommendation, this kid was one of the designer seedlings that Xifei Airways focused on cultivating. Now that he has the favor of Chen Geng, that's not to mention. He immediately looked at Chen Geng with a vigilant look: "Mr. Chen, what do you want to do? Let me tell you that Xiao Tang is the seedling that our Xifei Airways focused on cultivating, so you don't have any idea."

When everyone heard the words of General Manager Mao Donghai, especially the designers and engineers who were about the same age as Tang Changhong, suddenly felt envious and jealous: Tang Changhong, this kid, is he going to have a great fortune. Not only is Chen Chen very fond of him, but even President Mao also plans to focus on cultivating him. Damn, is this the smoke coming from the ancestral grave of their old Tang family?

As for Tang Changhong, he was shocked by the good news that he hit him one after another, and he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

"Okay, okay, I won't fight you," Chen Geng shook his head helplessly, then looked up at Tang Changhong and said, "Comrade Tang Changhong, tell me what you think about improving the Hong-6 and R&D Hong-8?"

The three chief commanders in the future are extraordinary. Although he was so excited that he heard Chen Geng's words, Tang Changhong quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Okay, that's what I think. What everyone just said makes sense and is also the only way for our future development of military aircraft. There is no doubt about this."

"Yes," Chen Geng nodded with a smile: "You continue to say."

Of course he heard the turning point in Chief Tang's words.

Tang Changhong gritted his teeth and finally said what he wanted to say: "Although things like air warning and command, electronic exhibition capabilities, etc. are very good, our country's industrial foundation and technology are not solid enough, and the national defense scientific research funding is extremely limited. If these projects are forcibly launched, it will bring many uncertain factors to the entire project.

So my idea is that whether it is the improvement of the H-6 or the development of the H-8, we can break this project into several steps. For example, the first step is to develop a body with a sufficiently excellent foundation, and to reserve enough space for future improvements and upgrades at the beginning of the design.

Specifically at the moment, I think the main job of the H-6 is to change the engine and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and at most some modifications are made in the aerodynamic shape. After a few years, our funds will be sufficient and the domestic technological level will also develop to a certain stage, and the overall combat performance of the aircraft will be upgraded.

Well, the Americans are actually doing this, for example, their B-52 bomber has developed from Type A to Type H, and is also improving and upgrading the H. Our H-6 has also developed from Type A to Type D (D) that can launch air-ship missiles. I think we can still follow this path of "small steps and fast running".

As for the H-8, my idea is that our H-8 will first make the range, bomb load, maintainability, and the ability to launch air-ship missiles and air-to-ground missiles, and leave enough potential for future upgrades."

Tang Changhong finished speaking and waited with trepidation.

I just felt a little excited and said what I had in my heart. Now I regret it after I finished speaking. I shouldn’t say some things. At this moment, looking at Chen Geng and Mao Donghai on the rostrum, the future Chief Secretary Tang felt very upset.

Chen Geng looked at Mao Donghai with a smile and said, "Mr. Mao, what do you think?"

"I think this idea is OK." Mao Donghai nodded.

He didn't just think it was OK, he was so happy: No wonder this little Tang was valued by Chen Geng. It was indeed a two-handed person. In this way, most people were shocked by the high-tech combat mode shown by the Americans in the Iraq War and didn't know what to say. When his eyes were shining with bright eyes, he was able to maintain enough calmness, based on our national conditions, take the path of gradually developing and running quickly, which was really rare.

If Chen Geng just asked him to pay more attention to Tang Changhong and he still had the idea of ​​dealing with it casually, then at this moment, Mao Donghai really had a lot of eyes for this young man.

"I think it's OK, too," Chen Geng said with a smile: "But I agreed that Comrade Tang Changhong must stay on MPC-75, you can't transfer it."

"Okay, okay, keep it for you." Mao Donghai waved his hand, looking like "I can't listen to you?"

Mao Donghai really had the idea of ​​transferring Tang Changhong to the Hong-6 improved model and Hong-8 preparatory research team, but since Chen Geng had already said that, he was embarrassed to ask for people again. Think about it again. Anyway, the MPC-75 is also the meat in the West Flight bowl. Whether it is military or civilian aircraft, he is busy with Xifei's own projects, and there is no cheaper for others. When he thinks about this, Mao Donghai feels more and more at ease.
