Hearing this, Old Wei sighed deeply and said in a solemn tone, "You should know the situation of the 24 Black Hawk helicopter purchased."
It turns out that the Black Hawk helicopter purchased by our country is not the military version, but an improved civilian version.
Although Black Hawk helicopter is equipped with a new engine, their high-altitude performance has been greatly improved.
Since they are civilian versions, they do not have weapon mounts installed, making them unable to carry weapons.
Although these Black Hawk helicopter are used in snow area operations, such as search and rescue, air transport of supplies, rescue and disaster relief and other important tasks, the lack of combat capabilities undoubtedly reduces their use value.
This also means that they cannot be used to replace the old Z-5 helicopters in the hands of the Flame Nation military.
Flame Nation The military began to think about how to use Black Hawk helicopter as a template for imitation.
They hope to create a helicopter with similar performance but with weapons mounting capabilities to meet national defense needs.
"Um? Old Wei, could it be said that the plan to imitate Black Hawk helicopter has encountered major obstacles?"
Lin Chenran asked cautiously.
If it were not for this reason, Old Wei would not specifically ask whether its own 077 Machinery Military Factory has designed and developed a new helicopter.
"Yeah!"
Old Wei nodded, looking heavy.
"The imitation work of Black Hawk helicopter has indeed encountered obstacles."
His brows furrowed tightly.
As an advanced military equipment, Black Hawk helicopter's complex structure and highly confidential technical measures make imitation work extremely difficult.
It has built-in multiple mechanisms to prevent reverse engineering to ensure that its technology cannot be easily copied.
For example, some systems will destroy themselves once they are disintegrated, which brings huge difficulties to imitation.
In addition, Composite Material used by Black Hawk helicopter is also very complicated, and Flame Nation cannot be reproduced for the time being.
These factors directly lead to the unprecedented challenges faced by counterfeiting Black Hawk helicopter.
Faced with this situation, two different voices emerged within the Flame Nation military.
Some senior officials believe that resources should continue to be invested in the research and development of Black Hawk helicopter. After all, this helicopter has demonstrated strong performance. If its technology can be mastered, the military strength of Flame Nation will be greatly improved.
Another group of senior officials advocate independent research and development of new helicopters, solving technical problems through their own efforts and innovation, and avoiding over-reliance on foreign technology.
Each of these two views has its supporters, which directly triggers heated discussions.
Lin Chenran frowned after listening to Old Wei's introduction.
It is almost impossible to successfully imitate Black Hawk helicopter.
In the previous life, from the introduction of Black Hawk helicopter in 1984 to the birth of our own domestic Z-20 helicopter, after such a long time, we still have not been able to imitate Black Hawk helicopter.
So he decided to ask Old Wei what Flame Nation's military leaders thought, "Old Wei, which plan do you support?"
It is crucial to understand the direction of support from Flame Nation military high-level officials.
At least you need to know the "pathogen" before you can prescribe the right medicine.
Old Wei sighed and replied, "Boy Lin, actually when we first introduced Black Hawk helicopter from Eagle Country, we just hoped to be able to imitate it."
"But we underestimated the difficulty of this matter."
"Black Hawk helicopter has a variety of internal mechanisms to prevent reverse engineering. Some of the systems will be automatically destroyed once they are disassembled, making it impossible for us to copy them."
Old Wei's tone was full of regret and helplessness, and he seemed to feel extremely sorry for this fact.
Originally, they thought that it would not be a big deal to introduce the civilian version of Black Hawk helicopter, because as long as they could bring it back to China, they could copy it.
As a result, it suffered a big setback on Black Hawk helicopter, which is almost difficult to copy.
"Since you can't imitate it, then develop it yourself!"
Lin Chenran said with a smile and confidence.
Black Hawk helicopter really has no meaning in imitation.
It will be automatically destroyed for you at once.
Although Black Hawk helicopter has excellent performance, it is one of the helicopters with the most accidents due to various technical problems.
So the idea of Lin Chenran is to develop a new type of helicopter instead of imitating Black Hawk helicopter.
There is no point in imitating Black Hawk helicopter.
"Self-research?"
Old Wei did not expect that Lin Chenran would have the idea of developing its own helicopter, and the other party was not optimistic about imitating Black Hawk helicopter.
"Aren't you optimistic about the imitation Black Hawk helicopter?"
Old Wei asked directly.
"Old Wei, you also know that Black Hawk helicopter has a built-in self-destruction device that cannot be reverse engineered unless we can find the self-destruction device and dismantle it."
"But we don't know that the other party has installed several self-destruction devices on Black Hawk helicopter, and whether these self-destruction devices are linked."
Lin Chenran is not recommended to imitate Black Hawk helicopter, because he knows that it cannot be imitated, and in the end it will be nothing.
For Lin Chenran, Old Wei on the side was immediately silenced!
This is the fact. Since Eagle Country has installed so many self-destruction devices on Black Hawk helicopter, isn't it just to prevent Flame Nation from purchasing them back and then copying them.
Obviously Old Wei was also convinced by Lin Chenran.
I decided not to worry about imitating Black Hawk helicopter anymore.
Since it cannot be imitated, then design, develop and manufacture it yourself.
At least Flame Nation has a certain foundation in the design and development of helicopters in China.
After receiving the subsequent foreign exchange support of 077 Machinery Military Factory, they will have capital to invest in the design and development of helicopters.
"Boy Lin, can you 077 Machinery Military Factory design and develop a helicopter?"
If capable, Old Wei hopes that 077 Machinery Military Factory can participate in the research and development of domestic helicopters.
"Uh?"
"Old Wei, if I say I am capable, will you think I am bragging?"
Lin Chenran hesitated and asked cautiously.
"Really capable?"
Old Wei was completely surprised.
I didn't expect Lin Chenran to give such an answer.
"Yeah!"
"We can even assemble the aircraft, so the helicopter shouldn't be a big problem."
Lin Chenran's solemn guarantee.
"Okay! Okay!"
Old Wei was very excited when he heard this.
This was the best news he had heard so far.
He really didn't expect that 077 Machinery Military Factory would actually be able to design and develop a helicopter.
And now Lin Chenran confidently assured him that 077 Machinery Military Factory has the ability to design and develop a helicopter.
"I'm waiting for your 077 Machinery Military Factory to design and develop a helicopter plan."
Old Wei said with a smile.
"No problem, just wait and see our 077 Machinery Military Factory helicopter design and development plan. Your military will definitely not be disappointed."
Lin Chenran already has a general design and development direction.
Now that the matter has been accomplished, Old Wei left 077 Machinery Military Factory with satisfaction and went back to hold an internal high-level meeting.
