Chapter 968 Let them waste some resources.


    ? Judging from Luan Wenjie’s understanding of Chang Haonan, the “slightly tilted” mentioned by the latter may not be that slight.


    However, these can always be discussed.


    What''s more, in addition to the practical series of satellites specially used for scientific exploration and technological experiments, China also has the Shenzhou spacecraft orbital module that can be used as a small satellite. In terms of mission load, it is already much more generous than in previous years.


    ?So, the matter was finalized in this way.


    ?Of course, raising the project level in the middle of the project still requires a process.


    Fortunately, the hardware development phase of the Haiyang-1 satellite has ended, so it is not expected to affect the final launch window.


    ?This report meeting was expected to last only about two hours, but ended up taking most of a day.


    ??It was already sunset when Chang Haonan and Lin Senming sent away several leaders attending the meeting.


    In January in Beijing, it gets dark early.


    “Mr. Chang.”


    ?Standing in the parking lot, Lin Senming held Chang Haonan''s hand tightly with excitement on his face.


    ?His lips moved slightly, obviously wanting to express his mood at this moment.


    But in the end, I was still limited by my slightly lacking language skills.


    ?Thousands of words turned into one sentence:


    "Thank you so much…"


    Everything is unspeakable and belongs to -


    ?Although Lin Senming is only the deputy chief designer of Ocean One, he also cooperates with Chang Haonan in software design.


    But the latter is not from the aerospace system after all.


    ?At the level of the Fifth Academy, and even at the level of aerospace science and technology, Lin Senming is the most important young backbone in the Haiyang-1 satellite project.


    Hence, the development prospects of Ocean One, or the Ocean series satellites, will directly affect his own future and destiny.


    While there seems to be only half a level difference between projects led by national bureaus and projects led by ministries and commissions, the resources and priorities they receive are completely different.


    As for the next level…


    ?Then it would be necessary to set up a separate department to take charge, just like manned spaceflight.


    ?Lin Senming couldn’t even think about it.


    ?However, for Chang Haonan, these are already commonplace.


    It is better to say that he is responsible, even including several projects that he has participated in, and there is no one with a lower level.


    It’s just a return to normalcy now.


    “Mr. Lin, your comrades from the Fifth Academy are responsible for the research and development of Ocean One’s hardware, so the subsequent work on software and hardware adaptation still requires our cooperation.”


    Chang Haonan looked at Lin Senming who was so excited that he was speechless, but decided to break the awkward silence first.


    The main reason is that the other party is holding on to you and won''t let go, so being frozen like this is not an option.


    “We must cooperate, we must cooperate.”


    ?Lin Senming then remembered to put down his hand, and then quickly replied:


    “I really didn’t expect that a report meeting could have such a good effect...”


    Chang Haonan quickly put his arms behind his back to prevent being controlled by the opponent again:


    "At the results report meeting, most of the audience below were unprofessional. They were either from other fields or simply engaged in administration. To put it bluntly, what they wanted to see was how great our results were, not why we were so good. sharp."


    "So, the starting point is to show the achievements we have made so far in the most intuitive way. If there are really no achievements now, then try to paint a bright future... Of course, you have to have a way to make people believe that the prospect you are talking about is exist.”


    "Actually, today is nothing. After all, Ocean One is a mature project that has already been established and even has a future development plan. At most, it is just the icing on the cake... If you really want to say it, it is still the No. 10 project of the year... uh... that year Before the establishment of the project, there were also the two report meetings before the establishment of the 921 Project, which can be called the real change of destiny..."


    In fact, what Chang Haonan originally wanted to say was that the aviation engine industry conference that year directly reversed the layout of the entire aviation industry in China, and even the birth of the Aviation Power Group can be regarded as one of its aftermath.


    ?But then I thought about it and realized that although these were all true, what I said would inevitably sound like bragging.


    So the name was temporarily changed to Project 921 and Project 10...


    Fortunately, Lin Senming still hasn''t calmed down completely at this time, and he doesn''t care about the specific example Chang Haonan gave:


    “Mr. Chang, it’s not too early to look at the time. How about… take a rest and have a meal in our agency canteen?”


    He knew very well that if he asked the other party to go outside, he would definitely be rejected.


    But even if the canteens of such large units do not have special reception areas like the Torch Group, they always have small stoves or similar configurations.


    In fact, Chang Haonan does not reject this kind of emotional contact within a reasonable range.


    ?In particular, his past connections were mainly in the aviation and machinery fields. As the grassroots backbone of the aerospace system, Lin Senming would definitely not hurt in having a good relationship with each other.


    But today…


    Chang Haonan raised his hand and looked at his watch:


    "It seems a bit too early, it''s just after four o''clock..."


    He was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should go back to the office.


    Not from the Torch Laboratory, but from the Aerospace Power Group.


    In the past half month, because I have been busy with the contour segmentation algorithm, I have paid little attention to the situation in the group.


    ?Lin Senming looked at Chang Haonan''s embarrassed look and immediately stopped insisting:


    “If Mr. Chang still has something to do, then we can wait for another day. Anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future...”


    “Also good.”


    Chang Haonan nodded:


    “After the Ocean One project is successful, I’ll invite you to experience it in the canteen of Torch Group…”


    …


    ?This sudden decision made Chang Haonan receive a phone call from Shengjing by chance.


    It was Liu Yongquan who called.


    What’s a little strange is that after the call was connected, the other party was stunned for a moment:


    “Mr. Chang?”


    It seems that Chang Haonan was not expected to be in the office at all.


    ?But it seems reasonable. In recent times, almost all matters that others contact me through the group level are communicated through Zhang Liangping.


    So to most people, he has indeed been "missing" for some time.


    “It’s me.”


    Chang Haonan said as he took off his cotton hat and put it on the desk:


    "Today''s call, I guess... the test at Snecma has been completed?" Chang Haonan glanced at the date and thought that it had been almost a month since the other party got the test sample, even if there was a Christmas holiday in between. , it seems that there should be results.


    However, it turns out that he still overestimated the French''s work efficiency under normal circumstances...


    “That’s not true. When I contacted Dr. Vesta a few days ago, he told me that work there has just resumed and it may not be completed until around the 25th.”


    Liu Yongquan explained:


    “Actually, it was Dassault. They contacted me through Snecma’s employees stationed in Shengjing.”


    “Dassault…”


    Chang Haonan was unbuttoning his coat with one hand at this time. He couldn''t help but stop after hearing this answer:


    “How did they find you directly?”


    ??Although the two companies are cooperating on the Falcon Z project, this project is directly connected to Dassault by the Aerodynamics Headquarters. It does not have to go through the Shengfa Group one more time like the M88 project.


    So logically speaking, even if something happens, you should not go directly to Liu Yongquan beyond his level.


    “Hmm… I feel like it’s just a casual chat, and there’s no intention of making a formal document, so it’s not convenient to contact you or other group leaders directly…”


    Liu Yongquan first made some speculations, and then continued:


    “Those people went around in circles with me for several times, but they never made it clear. However, they went around and around to test our views on the Indian LCA fighter jet.”


    “LCA…”


    ?Chang Haonan finally took off his coat and leaned back on the chair.


    The sudden mention of this unpopular model made him a little confused.


    At this time, Liu Yongan added:


    “In addition, they also accidentally mentioned that the Indians seemed to want Dassault to help them develop an upgraded model of the aircraft..."


    “Ouch?”


    Chang Haonan immediately sat up straight:


    “Is there such a thing?”


    “Well…it’s just a few words mentioned by one of them, and it may not be true…”


    Liu Yongquan quickly explained.


    “No, this was definitely not mentioned accidentally.”


    Chang Haonan on the other side of the phone almost laughed out loud:


    “I guess Dassault is worried that if they help the Indians develop new fighter jets, it may affect cooperation with us, so through you, I want to judge our country’s attitude towards the LCA model.”


    After his analysis, Liu Yongquan quickly reacted:


    “If this is the case...it does make sense...”


    ?The two projects that Dassault Aviation Department is now ordered to look at are both tied to the Aerodynamics Group.


    ?In this case, no matter how high the price offered by the Indians, the former will still have to weigh it.


    “Then…I don’t know what you mean?”


    Liu Yongquan asked.


    "Is this kind of thing...I am definitely not the one who can make the decision."


    ?Chang Haonan did not give an answer immediately.


    ?This matter involves three countries, and if it is taken seriously, it may affect foreign relations. Therefore, it is impossible for Chang Haonan to make a decision directly by overstepping his authority.


    That is simply seeking death.


    After a short pause, he changed the subject again:


    "However, I will make suggestions to my superiors on this matter. Just wait for my notification."


    Since Chang Haonan has said this, Liu Yongquan has nothing to worry about and immediately replied:


    "yes!"


    “Attention, you should try not to talk about this matter with the French people before I give you a clear answer.”


    Before hanging up the phone, Chang Haonan specifically asked:


    “If they take the initiative to talk to you, then...”


    “Just go around in circles with them, I understand!”


    Liu Yongquan came directly to answer the questions.


    “It’s good to know.”


    Chang Haonan smiled and shook his head, hung up the phone at the same time, and then took out a piece of manuscript paper from the drawer of his desk, ready to start writing a report.


    ??If this happened to other countries, then Chang Haonan would probably really consider stopping the French.


    After all, military technology transfer is more sensitive than pure arms sales.


    The impact is also more far-reaching.


    But India…


    ?Especially LCA…


    It’s really hard to say.


    Chang Haonan thinks that instead of cutting off all hope of the opponent, it is better to let the opponent continue to waste resources on this model -


    The LCA in the previous life did not really form combat effectiveness until he was reborn, and the subsequent improved MK1A type is also far away.


    As for the deeply modified MK2 type…


    ? It only exists in legends.


    ?Furthermore, even if the Indians on this timeline are a little more cautious and have tinkered with LCA in advance...


    It doesn’t matter.


    A large number of parts and raw materials for this model are imported from the West, causing the price of a "domestic" light aircraft to be comparable to that of an imported heavy aircraft.


    In other words, for every additional LCA the Indians have, there will be one less Su-30MKI.


    ?Chang Haonan can still settle this account.


    Hence his advice is very straightforward—


    Ignore those Indians and let them do whatever they want.
