Chapter 212 Shipping through domestic channels
Twist!
Wang Shaojun relaxed his right hand and relaxed his throttle. He tested the accelerator. The engine behind him let out a low roar, accompanied by the strong smell of gasoline, filling his nose.
The same cross arm handle, the same engine sound, the same gasoline smell, the same pedal feeling, the narrow fuselage, if the seat belt firmly fixes it in the seat, Wang Shaojun almost thought he was on the familiar 750 heavy military motorcycle.
After recharging the accelerator many times, he became familiar with the feeling. As soon as he loosened the brakes, the huge forward force formed by the 120-horsepower piston supercharged engine immediately rushed out with a two-seater bulletproof rotorcraft.
&nb!;The cement pavement quickly retreated underground.
Through the speedometer on the panel, you can see that the speed is rising rapidly, jumping from zero to thirty kilometers, fifty kilometers, and seventy kilometers in just one or two seconds, and the speed is still accelerating.
The control program adjusts the tail through the processor, so that although the rotorcraft is constantly accelerating, the fuselage remains stable and does not roll.
With this set of autonomous driving assistance equipment, beginners can also master the driving tips very smoothly and fly into the sky.
The 12-year-old high-power engine accelerated the rotorcraft to more than 70 kilometers in an instant. The blades above the head rotated rapidly, and the thin swept wing-shaped wing tips cut through the air like sharp blades, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air. The high-speed rotating main propeller formed an upward boost. Wang Shaojun didn't feel anything, and the rapidly rotating blades slowly left the ground with the rotorcraft and flew up.
It's very simple!
Wang Shaojun only studied for one afternoon, but he didn't expect to fly so easily, which was no different from riding a motorcycle. He didn't think so much, and thought that this was the flying characteristics of the rotorcraft. He looked down happily, and as the ground was getting farther and farther away from him, he shouted excitedly at the comrades below.
When he was on the ground, he would not do such frivolous behavior, but when the rotorcraft flew into the air, he felt like his body had become lighter, and the accumulated emotions in his heart were unconsciously released, and he couldn't help but whistle at the other comrades.
Although the oncoming strong wind blocked the whistle back and made no sound, he still laughed loudly and was as happy as a child.
"I only slid less than seventy meters away, this is still a heavier!"
He put a shed on the ground and looked at the delegation in the sky. He watched the rotorcraft soared into the air after only rushing along the cement road for only a dozen meters. He was shocked.
Although there was only one person sitting on it, it was too easy. You should know that the entire rotor weighed 210 kilograms, including the rack, the engine, the speed change mechanism, the bulletproof plate, and the oil. Another Wang Shaojun had a total weight of almost 280 kilograms.
The members of the delegation carefully watched the rotorcraft in the sky. From the ground, the narrow fuselage looked like a knife. When it was facing everyone, except for the slightly wider tail part, the target shrank into a line. Without a guided weapon, it would be really not easy to hit it.
If the engine power of the rotorcraft is increased a little more and the structure is strengthened, can anti-tank missiles be installed on it?
In the United States and the Soviet Union choose between two opponents, the United States would rather choose the United States in China.
Without it, the distance factor. The United States is far away, while the Soviet Union is next door. If you don’t want to say you are not afraid of its steel torrent, you won’t believe it.
So when the delegation saw the performance of the rotorcraft, they were surprised and involuntarily turned to the idea of whether they could deal with enemy tanks.
Some technical experts have already started to calculate based on the design formula of the rotorcraft.
But after all, everyone gave up the idea.
Not worth it!
It is necessary to redesign, transform and strengthen the rotorcraft, and the final cost is estimated to reach hundreds of thousands. At the same time, due to the strengthening of the structure, the self-weight will increase sharply and the payload will decrease. The weapons that can be carried are far from meeting the needs.
It's really useless.
It's useless, it looks like that, so it should be useful. But it's useful. It's not as high as special helicopters, and it's not as low as single-soldier anti-tank weapons. It's really embarrassing to be neither up nor down.
The comrades of the delegation looked at each other and shook their heads.
Guan Fei saw their regrets, but pretended not to know, and asked with a smile: "You guys help us advisers, how do you think of this flying platform?"
Let us advise?
Everyone blinked their eyes, not knowing how to answer.
Whether the thing is good or not should be judged based on your own combat requirements and purpose. We definitely don’t like it. If you ask us to advise, how should we say this?
Minister Xia Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment. He was not optimistic about this kind of flight platform. But others were not easy to talk to. As the leader, he naturally could not pretend to be deaf and dumb. When Guan Fei asked him, he could only quickly think about the words in his mind and said politely: "The rotorcraft is still a good flight platform. It seems to be a bit insufficient in adaptability in complex weather conditions. However, as a short-range, small-batch troops transfer and infiltration operations in a short-range manner, it should still be very useful."
He had a very clever eyes. Although it was the first time he saw this thing. After learning about it for an afternoon, he quickly realized its scope and defects. It was fair to say that it was neither exaggerated nor praised against his will nor over-deprecating it.
In fact, as a weapon for short-distance small troops to infiltrate combat, he is very optimistic.
If there is no shortage of money in China, it would be okay to buy a few.
The problem is that domestic opponents are either giants such as the United States and the Soviet Union, or they are on the other side of the sea, or Vietnam, or small countries such as Viet Nam. Rotorcraft is useless to big countries with strong air defense power and cannot be used for small countries. The existing methods are enough to knock the opponent down a few times.
The rotorcraft flight platform is not as high as low as it is, but it is really difficult to position it.
Guan Fei smiled, and the other party was quite kind, and he said: "If you use the five-seat model to change it, what about the vehicle that transports a small amount of supply ammunition to the front line in an emergency?"
Xia Zhongyuan's heart moved.
Guan Fei said this to his heart.
After the self-defense counterattack, the troops retreated to the attack launch position and thought that the other party should learn a lesson. However, in the propaganda, the other party boasted about the retreat of the country into a great victory, and then became more and more serious, building Yongguo fortifications on the border, as if they were not convinced and wanted to have another battle.
Both sides are you occupying a mountain, and I occupying a mountain, with the positions intertwined. The traffic lines behind some garrisoned hills are in areas where enemy artillery can attack. The supply personnel in the rear are often forced to travel back and forth on this death lane in order to transport ammunition, food, and even water to the front line, directly exposed to the enemy's fire strike range, which is quite dangerous.
If a batch of rotorcraft is equipped and a small amount of hundreds of kilograms of supplies are transported to the frontline troops, it is a good way to respond.
Xia Zhongyuan was about to speak when he suddenly laughed.
"Comrade Guan Fei, I find that you look like an arms broker! You take us to see this rotorcraft, probably just to sell it to us, right?" He suddenly figured out Guan Fei's purpose, and was not in a hurry for a moment. He held his hands and looked at the other party with a smile.
Guan Fei was not ashamed at all when he said his thoughts. Instead, he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Did you see it? But I didn't want to sell this kind of flying platform to you. I hope to sell it to more places through the domestic network?"
"Sell to more places?" Xia Zhongyuan could not have imagined that Guan Fei had such a big appetite.
He thought Guan Fei was just thinking about spending a few dollars from the domestic military pockets, but who would have thought that he would not look down on the small amount of money in China at all. His eyes were fixed on the wider world, and he actually wanted to sell the rotorcraft to other countries through domestic channels.
"This aircraft is probably not easy to sell!" After understanding Guan Fei's thoughts, other comrades from the Fifth Machinery Department were anxious. A comrade from the Fifth Machinery Department was afraid that Xia Zhongyuan would agree to the fact that he would destroy the reputation of domestic weapons after he was sold. He quickly interrupted and said to the truth, "To be honest, the scope of application of rotor aircraft is still too narrow. You said that it can transport and face the ground, and it looks like everything is OK, but everything is very loose: not equipped, not equipped; not flying, not flying far; against the ground, the attack firepower is weak. Commander Guan, in fact, the flying platform you developed abroad was found decades ago, but it just felt that it was useless and had no development. I think it would be difficult to sell it!"
Although the others didn't say anything, they completely agreed with his opinion based on their expressions.
Xia Zhongyuan made him interrupt, avoiding the embarrassment of refusing in person. He also breathed a sigh of relief, so he simply pretended to be deaf and dumb and acted as a spectator.
Hearing that he belittled the role of the rotorcraft, several technicians from the Northern War Zone were unhappy and were about to refute, but were stopped by Guan Fei.
Guan Fei was not angry at all, but said with a smile: "What you said is correct. If you want to sell it as a weapon platform to military powers such as the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom, they will definitely not look down on it. But let's change our thinking, for example, how about transforming it into a civilian light aircraft and selling it to ordinary aviation enthusiasts? Or, what about selling the two-seat bulletproof type to small African countries?
For aviation enthusiasts, this is a simple aircraft. When you don’t need it, you can get it in the garage by folding the blades. When you go out to play, you can be taken away by bundling them on a small household trailer. When you arrive at your destination, you can take off on the grass and install them to take off to satisfy their air flight.
For the advertising industry, rotorcraft does not require a special runway, and can only take a few dozen meters or even ten meters to take off. Then carry dozens or hundreds of kilograms of photography equipment to take aerial photos in the air, and have several hours of time to wait for advertising, which can fully meet the needs of advertising shooting.
In addition to advertising operators, film companies, photography enthusiasts, water conservancy departments, urban planning departments, geological exploration companies, traffic inspections, border patrols, ecological research, search and rescue... You see, I just said casually that there are so many departments that can be used as potential customers.
For example, in some small countries in Africa and South America, their combat targets are mostly backward tribal armed forces, and they can’t afford advanced aircraft. Many local government troops cannot even afford tanks, so they directly use pickup trucks to load machine guns as weapons platforms.
They certainly can't afford expensive special armed helicopters, or they can't even afford to spend money. But they also need air strike forces to gain combat advantages, so can they buy a batch of armored rotorcraft?"
After hearing that he talked about so many potential purchase customers in one breath, the delegation members of the General Staff organization such as Xia Zhongyuan were stunned.
Although they had not thought deeply, Guan Fei seemed to make sense.
Although big countries look down on the flying platform like rotorcraft, it is really a good weapon for some poor small countries. Especially the two-seater bulletproof type, if you put it in the eyes of small African countries, you can almost use a machine gun on the side to serve as a special weapon helicopter.
Moreover, the border patrol that Guan Fei mentioned just now touched them.
Not to mention small countries, this function is also needed in China, which is both cheap and easy to operate and is simple and reliable to maintain.
Xia Zhongyuan looked at the others, then looked at Guan Fei's smile, thought for a moment, and asked, "Since it's so easy to sell, why do you want to get involved with us instead of selling yourself?"
Guan Fei spread his hands regretfully: "Who told us that we have not become a powerful political force yet! Who believes us? In the civil market, Europe and the United States' own aircraft manufacturing companies are still robbing the heads of blood. Why should we get a share of the pie? Maybe we can't even get an airworthiness certificate? On the contrary, the country, because the United States needs to win us over against the threat of the Soviet Union, it has shown great goodwill. Although they are still unhappy to enter the US market in the name of the domestic market, they can at least carry out their business and not be maliciously harassed. I also have no high demands, and I can sell hundreds of aircraft a year to satisfy it."
Xia Zhongyuan heard the helplessness in Guan Fei's words. The more he relied on the country, the more he felt at ease in the country. He couldn't help but relax and asked, "Then how much do you plan to sell this rotorcraft?"
"The unblocked two-seater is $110,000, and the five-seater is $280,000! The bulletproof type is 300,000!" Guan Fei's smile remained unchanged, like the most friendly salesman, quoting a heartbeat price.
"What? So cheap?"
Xia Zhongyuan and the others of the delegation heard this and exclaimed at the same time.
Even they were tempted by this price!
Guan Fei added with a smile: "This is the price given to the country. You only need to directly exchange the valuation unit from US dollars to RMB!"
"What!"
Xia Zhongyuan and others exclaimed again, the sound was so loud that it was as if they were yelling at the throat.
Chapter completed!
