Chapter 0676 Repair the Tomcat

As early as the early 1980s, in order to deal with its common enemy, Mao Bear, Eagle Sauce, sold f to the flower planter, which was a castrated light third-generation machine. It is not popular in China.

In 1984, Hawks' Grumman's company lost in the competition for Japan's "air-electronic" fighter jet project, hoping to make efforts to sell the "Tomcat" to the country.

In order to successfully promote, ‘Grumman’ said that the F-14a can be upgraded and the mediocre TF-30 engine can be replaced with the F110 series. ‘Tomcat’ will become even more terrifying.

‘Grumman’ even invited Chief Tu of Cheng Fei to his Calvinden factory in Long Island, New York to visit the assembly production lines of a variety of fighter jets, including microwave darkrooms and test flight stations.

At that time, I didn’t know that there was a Su-27 incident in China. If the “Tomcat” was introduced, it would definitely affect the development direction of the domestic aviation industry.

Not to mention anything else, the Alliance's electronics industry is extremely terrible.

The n-001 ‘Zuke’ radar of Su-27sk weighs one ton. It is boastful that it has powerful power and has the ability to ‘burn through’. Its actual performance is not as good as the bargain of more than 100 kilograms on the F-16. It has a generation difference.

But the ‘Tomcat’ is too expensive, the bare metal price is 80 million US dollars... if training and maintenance are added, the stand-alone machine price exceeds 100 million US dollars.

This is 100 million in the 1980s!

The flower farmer has reserved less than 10 billion US dollars in 1984. He spent more money in 1985, and his foreign exchange reserves have only been more than 2 billion US dollars for several consecutive years.

A big country with a population of one billion only has such a small amount of foreign exchange reserves. The country is so poor that it sells the treasure of "Dongfeng 3" to a big dog. One is sold for 100 million US dollars, and it feels like it is making a fortune.

The comprehensive unit price of ‘Tomcat’ exceeds 100 million yuan, who can afford it?

I can't afford it, I really don't have money.

Sometimes it is very generous in China. In the 1980s, it sold a lot of color TV production lines and imported a lot of luxury cars. Sometimes it is very stingy and is very careful in purchasing industrial production lines.

Everyone felt that the Tomcat was not in China. But no one expected that a troublemaker would sneak into Persia alone in order to explore the famous F-14a Tomcat fighter.

Zhou Qingfeng stayed in Tabriz all night, and the next day he stole a military vehicle, pretended to be an officer of the Revolutionary Guard, and drove south to Isfahan carelessly.

Isfahan is the third largest city in Persia. Geographically, it is sandwiched between Mount Zagros and Mount Kuhru, and is located on the banks of the Zainde River.

On the arid Persian plateau, water sources are very important. Isfahan is an ancient city and the transportation center and industrial center of Persia. In addition to the aviation industry, even Persian nuclear facilities are built here.

The Persian Aircraft Manufacturing Industry Company (Hesa) is located in the north of Isfahan. It was originally an aircraft overhaul built by Americans in the 1960s, and gradually developed into a..., a rag repair company.

Because of the importance of hesa, it is far away from the city and is surrounded by a yellowish wasteland. This wasteland can be seen everywhere in Persia, without water, no vegetation, only sand and soil.

A highway passes through the south of Hesa, and the company's factory is surrounded by high walls, with guard posts and barbed wire, and is under high alert. Outsiders are not allowed to approach this place.

There is a three-kilometer-long test flight runway to the north. The internal factory area is not large and consists of a tarmac, hangar, repair workshop, warehouse, and scientific research buildings. The total area is less than three hectares.

Since being blocked by the West, Hesa ​​has taken on the heavy responsibility of repairing various types of fighter jets for the Persian Air Force.

But due to the lack of spare parts and production capacity, all Hesa ​​can do is to be a dismantling machine paper maker, piece together a few fighter jets, and make one that can fly.

The little fairy and Sophia flew in first to act as scouts to find the target Zhou Qingfeng wanted. They prioritized finding Hesa's scientific research buildings, hoping to obtain detailed information about the "Tomcat" from it.

Complex modern equipment is often divided into design drawings, manufacturing drawings, and repair drawings. These things are different.

‘Grumman’ gave the Hesa ​​overhaul line, which should have some design and manufacturing drawings, as well as all maintenance drawings and corresponding inspection and tooling equipment.

When it gets dark, Alsie will sneak into the factory area of ​​Hesa, looking for the "Tomcat" that will be overhauled and modified here.

Only Zhou Qingfeng stayed in the wilderness outside the factory for two days, companioning with sand and sparse shrubs - this ghost place is really full of sand, and it was dry and hot just in February.

The two-day investigation gave the strange maids a general understanding of this important Persian manufacturing enterprise, and they knew everything they should know, and there were basically no secrets hidden.

On the night of the third day, Zhou Qingfeng climbed over the wall and broke into Hesa ​​again. He went straight to the warehouse in the factory and entered through the huge ventilation duct.

In the 1970s, Grumman was allowed to sell 80 Tomcats to Persia and delivered 79. In more than a decade, more than half of the Tomcats had been lost due to war and lack of spare parts.

Hesa tried every possible way to repair the "Tomcat", and even collected the wreckage that was shot down and crashed during the war. There were also many "Tomcats" with damaged bodies here.

The wreckage of hundreds of aircraft were densely piled up in multiple warehouses, including dozens of "tumcats". They can only be collected and stored as donors for body repairs.

Zhou Qingfeng seemed to be standing in a scrap purchase station, surrounded by piles of metal parts and broken bodies. "If the Persians cannot repair it, it does not mean that we cannot repair it."

Sofia took Zhou Qingfeng to a TD-30 turbofan engine. Dust in the desert environment blew in from the ventilation fan and a thick layer fell on the turbofan blades.

Zhou Qingfeng used a cleaning trick to peel off the dust from the engine. He looked at the leaves carefully and there were dense pits on it, which was the consequence of using it in a desert environment.

The alchemy workshop was opened, and the "albatross" stored inside was pushed out by the spiritual slave, leaving the position of the repair array.

There were more than 20 td-30s removed in the warehouse. This engine weighed nearly two tons and was placed on a mobile platform. Zhou Qingfeng and others worked together to push one of them into the middle of the repair array.

The idea of ​​the master and servant was very simple. Sophia copied the repair materials she needed and simply tried to repair the used "Tomcat" in the warehouse.

The warehouse is closed, and as long as there is no big noise, no one will come in. Zhou Qingfeng repaired one, one, which will not alarm the factory guards, and it can also verify the correctness of the information.

Arsey transformed into liquid metal and searched silently in the body cemetery in the warehouse to find parts that could be used. Zhou Qingfeng went to another world and used the altar of faith to exchange for a large number of second-level "complete restoration techniques" from several goddesses.

For a turbofan engine with high thrust, "complete repair" is not enough, and it needs to be enhanced by adding the alchemy array and Sophia's arcane effect.

Hundreds of golden light lit up in the magic circle for several minutes. The power of magic made the dull metal vibrant, the damaged turbofan blades gradually recovered, and precision structures such as compressors and control pipelines were completely renewed.

When the arcane effect stops, the originally pothole-filled leaves become smooth and tight, as if they were just leaving the factory.

"It's great. If we can repair the engine, we can also repair the body, repair the radar, repair the flight control, repair the hydraulic system, repair the swept wing."

Zhou Qingfeng cheered in a low voice, and the wreckage of the fighter planes around him seemed to be boiling. The Persians had already classified all spare parts, and all he had to do was repair and reassemble them.
