Xi'an, China.*1*1*

Xi'an, known as Chang'an and Jingzhao in ancient times, is one of the world's four ancient civilizations. It ranks first among the four ancient capitals of China. It is the capital with the most capitals and the most influential capitals in Chinese history.

After entering New China, the ancient city of Xi'an has increasingly exuded new vitality...

Yanliang District, there is a very ordinary research institute, Xi'an Heavy Aircraft Design Institute (that is, 603).

At this time, it was the hot summer, and the cicadas outside the window were chirping, while the scientific and technological personnel from the Institute 603 were working all the time.

In one of the conference rooms, a meeting where various departments coordinated the progress was being held.

"Everyone, after our repeated designs, the aerodynamic layout of our new fighter bomber has been completely determined. We adopt a normal tandem two-seat layout, a conventional semi-hard shell bee waist-shaped fuselage with ventral fins. The medium aspect ratio swept upper single wing has a front edge serration, a lower reverse angle, aerodynamic torsional outer wing, and a fill angle of the wing root. The oblique fixed-axis fully-action medium-lower flat tail, and a large back swept single vertical tail. Two turbofan engines are installed side by side in the rear fuselage, and the air intake duct is located at the wing roots on both sides of the fuselage." Chief designer Chen Yijian said.

At this time, the formal research of the J-H-7 has been over a year. While China is fully committed to developing the economy, it is also investing funds to develop a brand new fighter jet. This is a very precious opportunity.

However, the country can allocate very little funds. The entire development process only allocated 500 million famous coins. But now, the funds have been allocated 3 million, and the superiors have begun to experience financial tightness. Moreover, this project that was originally a high hope for by the Navy and the Air Force, but the Air Force has now withdrawn.

Because the Air Force hopes to have a fighter bomber with two seats parallel like the Su24. Two pilots operate side by side, have a good vision, and can use various ground attack weapons. Since the Navy's main task is anti-ship, it does not have strong requirements for this, and the two seats parallel will cause great resistance and affect the range, so the Navy insists on sequentially.

In desperation, Chen Yijian thought of the method was to carry out research on two projects at the same time. However, this did not impress the Air Force. In the end, the Air Force withdrew because the J-H-7 could not meet the requirements of the Air Force. The Air Force hoped that this fighter could implement ultra-low-altitude penetration and needed to have terrain matching capabilities. As the terrain was undulating, the J-H-7's avionics could not reach this level at all. Even if it was f-speed control, it was only a simulated f-speed system of more than three degrees. *1*1* and the supporting radar was still far away. Moreover, various weapons for precise ground strikes were still completely blank.

Therefore, the current J-H-7 can be said to be specially designed for the naval research.

"Our drawing design has begun to be refined. It is expected that in half a year, all details can be improved. At the same time, the parts trial production will begin." Chen Yijian said.

"But our research and development funds are gone." Yi Heyuan said: "The state's allocation cannot be downloaded, so we can't do detailed designs at all."

Yi Heyuan is the deputy chief engineer of the Institute 603. He is responsible for the development of the J-H-7 with Chen Yijian, but now he feels a lot of pressure.

The country is now transforming. Although the J-H-7 project is a key project of the country, it also faces the problem of insufficient funding. Those projects that are not important for the time being cannot guarantee the source of funds. Shanghai's Yun-10 did not receive a penny of funding.

"I will ask for funding from my superiors." Chen Yijian said: "Even if we don't have a source of funding, we have to carry out the entire project."

He looked at the designers and said, "When New China was first founded, we were also poor and abandoned. Didn't we still establish a comprehensive national defense industry? Now our situation is much better than that at that time. Our fighter is the first fighter developed by China. We must work hard and carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship or fatigue, and successfully develop the new fighter jet!"

"I heard that the Y10th in Shanghai and the J-7th in Chengdu are all well-funded." Seeing that Chen Yijian had not understood his meaning, Yi Heyuan began to point out.

"Yes, I heard that they have received investment from Iraq. Iraq is really rich. One investment is tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars. If we have investment from Iraq, the development of fighter jets will definitely speed up the progress." said a designer.

Developing fighter jets is a huge project. Now it is in the design stage, and you only need to use your brain and do your hands. However, after entering system research and development, you need to make prototypes, which costs a lot. Now the country has no capital investment, and then the risk will be even greater.

"Yes, I heard that the J-7 in Chengdu has now completed a major modification, using air intake for the belly. Moreover, the avionics have been modified in Iraq, and the performance has been greatly improved. Although Iraq does not have a complete scientific research team, their current processing capabilities are already very strong. It is said that some of the modified J-7 parts, body beams and other parts exported to Pakistan have begun to be processed in Iraq." Another designer said.

"Everyone." Chen Yijian said with a little unhappy face, "You must know what your research project is. Shanghai's Yun-10 is just a civilian passenger plane, while Chengdu's J-7 is a foreign trade fighter. Therefore, the country allows Iraqi funds to participate, because the conditions proposed by Iraq are technology sharing. However, our J-17 is a model that is confidential to the state, and all our technologies cannot be leaked to the outside world. We must rely on the strength of our own country!"

It will disperse soon. Looking at the technician who has already walked out, Yi Heyuan said, "Old Chen, do you really think so?"

Yi Heyuan and Chen Yijian were both in their fifties at this time, and they were all the same age.

Chen Yijian said: "Our fighter uses many new technologies that we have mentioned, but for Iraq, it is nothing. We use three-degree tele-speed operation, and the Phantom 4000 introduced by Iraq is four-degree tele-speed, which has far exceeded ours. Iraq has also introduced the production line of Phantom 4000, and the Western avionics have exceeded our level. In several air strikes against Iran, Iraq used long-range precision guidance weapons with a range of more than 200 kilometers. It can be said that Iraq has come to our front."

Although he was unwilling to give up, Chen Yijian knew that Iraq's current military aircraft level was far ahead of the world.

"That means there is no possibility of leaking the secret at all?" Yi Heyuan said.

"Yes!" Chen Yijian said: "Our fighter jet has just entered the development stage. If Iraq's funds are injected, they will definitely ask for a full follow-up. In this way, they will follow the entire process of manufacturing the new aircraft. We will train a scientific research team for Iraq."

Chen Yijian looked at the problem very clearly. People’s money is not for nothing, and they will be given tuition fees.

"Also, I heard that Chen Fei's people have also gone to lobby Iraq, but unfortunately Iraq is not interested." Chen Yijian continued. In fact, Chen Yijian had already understood what the engineers said just now.

Seeing that the improvement of the J-7 was very successful, Chen Fei was also moved. At this time, Chen Fei's J-82 project was entering the manufacturing process of the prototype, but the matching radar and fire control system is still far from the successful development.

Unexpectedly, they were turned away and did not see the legendary Middle Eastern God of War, so they came back in shame.

Although there are reasons for China's export of weapons to Iran, Chen Yijian analyzed that there is another reason: Iraq has so many advanced fighter jets and does not care about these Chinese military aircraft at all.

The J-7 was greatly improved, which was a complete foreign trade aircraft. Iraq invested funds to obtain benefits. The other Y-10 was a complete passenger aircraft and had nothing to do with military aircraft. Therefore, Iraq invested funds and could see a huge market in the future.

If you say that Your Excellency Kusai has great friendship with the Chinese people and provides funds to help these companies, Chen Yijian would only think that was a cold joke. Since the J-H-7 engine is a British Spey engine, in order to coordinate the matching between the engine and the intake duct, Chen Yijian has visited Europe many times and is also very envious of the French Dassault's Phantom 4000 fighter.

"We must base ourselves on our own development of new aircraft. This is a fighter aircraft developed completely independently by the Chinese. Whether we can obtain other funds depends on the meaning of our superiors." Chen Yijian said: "But no matter what, we must design this new type of fighter bomber successfully! This is our China's success!"

Although there are many difficulties and the funds are always insufficient, Chen Yijian is also very convinced that he can successfully develop this fighter!

However, he had never had confidence in foreign investment. He never expected that the young man from Iraq, who had a high vision, would like to see the project under his command. Moreover, just a few months later, after Kusai visited China and promoted the relationship between the two countries, he actually invested funds to help 603 institutions develop this project. Although Iraqi people appeared in the development team, they were definitely not just here to learn skills. Since they were exposed to the latest technologies of cutting-edge technology, a large number of new electronic equipment was introduced in the design. The J-H-7 directly developed into a new flying leopard in later generations. Moreover, due to Iraq's injection of funds, the domestically produced domestic turbofan 9 of the British SB MK202 engine, which had progressed slowly in later generations, completed all the domestic production work within two years.

The general trend of the world is still developing along the trend of history, but due to Kusai's time travel, tremendous changes have begun to occur in some corners of the world. (To be continued...)
