Although he was full of doubts, Lin Chenran followed Old Lin's pace without hesitation and got into the spacious car with the others.
After the car started slowly, Old Lin said with a smile, "Boy Lin, I invite you here this time because our Air Force has an important task that we want to give you 077 Machinery Military Factory to complete."
When he heard the word "task", Lin Chenran, who was still a little confused at first, his eyes lit up, and his confusion was instantly replaced by excitement and expectation.
For a company that mainly manufactures military equipment, having tasks means having new orders, and having orders will naturally bring huge profits.
Thinking of this, Lin Chenran couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, like a flower blooming in spring, gradually forming a brilliant smile.
That smile seemed to contain endless joy and expectation, and even the surrounding air seemed to be infected and brightened.
At this moment, he was filled with longing for the future.
I wish Flame Nation the military could continuously assign them 077 Machinery Military Factory a large number of important tasks.
However, a basin of ice-cold water was poured on his burning heart without any warning.
"What?"
Lin Chenran's eyes widened and his mouth opened so wide that he could almost stuff an egg into it.
He turned his head in disbelief, his eyes falling directly on Old Lin beside him, and the expression on his face instantly solidified into a picture of astonishment.
"Old Lin, are you right?"
Lin Chenran's voice unconsciously raised an octave, mixed with obvious doubts and confusion.
"Let 077 Machinery Military Factory upgrade H-6 Bomber?"
This... how is this possible!"
Lin Chenran The whole person seemed to be struck by lightning, and the whole person stood stunned.
He really didn't expect that the Flame Nation Air Force would hand over this arduous and unfamiliar task to them 077 Machinery Military Factory.
H-6 Bomber is a model with a long history and relatively old technology.
Faced with today's rapidly changing and complex international situation, this old bomber is obviously somewhat inadequate.
Old Lin's face was extremely serious, without any intention of joking.
He nodded solemnly and replied firmly, "Yes, as the current international situation becomes increasingly tense, various conflicts and disputes continue to emerge."
"The existing performance of H-6 Bomber is no longer able to meet the growing strategic needs of our country."
No, Flame Nation Air Force decided to carry out a comprehensive upgrade and transformation so that it can better adapt to the current complex and changeable war environment.
And provide a strong deterrent to countries with evil intentions.
H-6 Bomber is a medium-sized twin-engine jet strategic bomber that Flame Nation introduced the Tu-16 bomber from Mao Xiong in the 1950s. Based on this, it developed and put into mass production through its unremitting efforts.
Back in 1969, this H-6 Bomber, which carried countless expectations and missions, officially began its long service career in the Flame Nation Air Force.
Time flies, and so far, it has been in service for more than eighteen years!
With the rapid development of the times and the rapid changes in technology.
Compared with the advanced bombers from other countries in the world, the performance of H-6 Bomber is obviously lagging behind and is far behind.
As Flame Nation Air Force said, its outdated performance is indeed difficult to meet the current growing and increasingly stringent combat needs of the Air Force.
The prototype of the H-6 Bomber, the Figure 16 bomber, was developed between 1950 and 1952, and was put into service in the Mao Xiong Air Force in 1955.
A quick calculation shows that this is an old model with a history of more than 30 years.
It is not easy for such obsolete equipment to maintain a firm foothold and play an important role in modern warfare, which is constantly changing and high-tech means are emerging one after another.
Faced with this situation, Lin Chenran couldn't help but wonder, "Old Lin, since the Air Force knows that H-6 Bomber's performance is lagging behind, why doesn't it simply re-plan and design a brand new bomber?"
"Instead, you are obsessed with implementing upgrades based on the original H-6 Bomber?"
He revealed all the questions he had buried deep in his heart for a long time, fully expecting to get the answers he wanted from Old Lin.
Could it be feelings?
Could it be love?
Definitely not!
Because of poverty!
Not much money!
Upgrading can save a lot of R&D funds compared to a completely new design.
Old Lin's explanation instantly left Lin Chenran speechless.
That's it!
Although military spending has increased a lot this year.
But every money must be spent wisely.
Flame Nation Air Force purchased a batch of helicopters and fighter jets.
Purchased several more Yun-10 Airborne Early Warning Aircraft from 077 Machinery Military Factory.
Today, the Flame Nation Air Force has very little military spending left on hand, which forces them to adopt an expedient measure when facing the development problem of strategic bombers - "three more years of patchwork".
Flame Nation The Air Force is temporarily unable to purchase new strategic bombers on a large scale.
H-6 Bomber can only be upgraded and transformed to improve its combat effectiveness.
Flame Nation The Air Force handed over this difficult task to 077 Machinery Military Factory.
077 Machinery Military Factory can maximize the performance of H-6 Bomber in the most economical and affordable way.
Lin Chenran couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Ginger is still spicy when you are old!"
He instantly felt that he was on a "thief ship" that could not be easily disembarked.
The senior leaders of Old Lin and Flame Nation Air Force believe that under the current situation, the upgrade and transformation work of H-6 Bomber can only be reliable if it is handed over to 077 Machinery Military Factory.
Other manufacturers are unable to do the job.
There is no other reason. Flame Nation The Air Force does not have the extra funds to "manufacture" other aircraft manufacturing companies.
Faced with Old Lin's expectations and trust, Lin Chenran responded, "Old Lin, please rest assured that we at 077 Machinery Military Factory will do our best to complete this upgrade and transformation of H-6 Bomber."
Lin Chenran has a rough plan in mind.
"No problem. As long as the performance of our H-6 Bomber can be greatly improved, our Air Force will be very satisfied."
Hearing Lin Chenran make such a firm promise, Old Lin's face covered with traces of time was like a spring flower blooming, and an extremely bright smile instantly overflowed.
He knows Lin Chenran's personality and character well.
Once Lin Chenran expresses that he will do his best to do something, he will definitely spare no effort and go all out, and will never just do it casually.
At this time, Lin Chenran's bright eyes turned slightly, and then he said, "Old Lin, since I have agreed to help our Air Force upgrade H-6 Bomber, before that, I hope you can agree to my small request."
When Old Lin heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then responded readily, "It's easy to say, just say it."
But his tone changed. "However, I can't help with things that are too difficult.
Obviously, Old Lin wants to give Lin Chenran a dose of "precautionary vaccine" in advance.
