Chapter 676: Fix Tomcat

As early as the early 1980s, in order to deal with a common enemy, the bear, Eagle Sauce sold to flower growers. This is a lightly castrated third-generation machine. I don't like it at home.
In 1984, Eagle Sauce's "Grumman" company lost in the competition for Japan's "Air Self" fighter project, hoping to make efforts to sell the "Tomcat" to the country.
In order to sell successfully, ‘Grumman’ stated that it could upgrade the f-14a and replace the mediocre tf-30 engine with the f110 series. "Tomcat" will become more terrible.
‘Grumman’ even invited Cheng Fei’s Chief Tu to visit his Calvinden factory in Long Island, New York, to visit the assembly lines of various fighters, including microwave darkrooms and test flight stations.
At that time, there was no such thing as Su-27 in China. If the introduction of "Tomcat" will definitely affect the development direction of the domestic aviation industry.
Not to mention anything else, the alliance's electronics industry is extremely rotted.
The Su-27sk's n-001'Zuk' radar weighs a ton and is boasted of being powerful and capable of'burn-through'. The actual performance is not as good as the cheaper one-hundred kilograms on the f-16. Generation difference.
But Tomcat is too expensive, the price of bare metal is 80 million... US dollars. If training and maintenance are added, the stand-alone price will exceed US$100 million.
This is 100 million in the 1980s!
The flower grower's foreign exchange reserves in 1984 were less than 10 billion US dollars. In 1985, we spent more money, and our foreign exchange reserves were only more than two billion US dollars for several consecutive years.
A large country with a population of one billion has only such a small amount of foreign exchange reserves. The country is so poor that it sells the treasure of the town and country'Dongfeng San' to the big dog households, selling one hundred million dollars each, and feels like making a big profit.
The comprehensive unit price of Tomcat exceeds 100 million, who can afford it?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really have no money.
Sometimes domestic money is very generous. In the 1980s, a lot of color TV production lines were sold, and many luxury cars were imported. Sometimes it's extremely stingy, and it's meticulous in purchasing industrial production lines.
Everyone feels that Tomcat has no connection with China. But no one thought that there was a scourge who dare to sneak into Persian territory alone in order to explore the famous f-14a Tomcat.
Zhou Qingfeng spent the night in Tabriz, the next day he stole a military vehicle, disguised as an officer of the Revolutionary Guards, and drove boldly south toward Isfahan.
Isfahan is the third largest city in Persia. Geographically, it is sandwiched between the valleys of Zagros and Kuhru, on the Zainde River.
On the arid Persian plateau, water sources are very important. Isfahan is an ancient city and a transportation and industrial center in Persia. In addition to the aviation industry, even Persian nuclear facilities are also built here.
In Shefhel, north of Isfahan, the Persian Aircraft Manufacturing Industry Company (Hesa) is here. It was originally an aircraft overhaul plant built with the help of Americans in the 1960s, and gradually developed into..., repairing a broken company.
Because of the importance of Hesa, it is far away from the urban area and surrounded by an earthy yellow wasteland. This kind of wasteland can be seen everywhere in the Persian territory, there is no water, no vegetation, only sand.
A highway passes south of Hesa, and the company's factory is surrounded by high walls, guarded by guards and barbed wire. Outsiders are not allowed to approach this place.
It has a three-kilometer test flight to the north. The internal factory area is not large, and is composed of apron, hangar, repair workshop, warehouse and scientific research building. The total area is less than three hectares.
Since the fight was blocked by the West, Hesa ​​has assumed the heavy responsibility of repairing various 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 disassembler and pastemaker, piece together with a few fighters, and get one that can fly.
The goblin and Sofia flew in first to act as scouts, looking for the target Zhou Qingfeng wanted. They give priority to Hesa's scientific research buildings, hoping to obtain detailed information about Tomcat.
Complex modern equipment is often divided into design drawings, manufacturing drawings, and maintenance drawings. These things are different.
‘Grumman’ gave the hesa overhaul line, it should have some design and manufacturing drawings, as well as all maintenance drawings and corresponding testing and tooling equipment.
When it's dark, Alsie will sneak into Hesa's factory and look for the'Tomcat' who has undergone major repairs and modifications here.
Only Zhou Qingfeng spent two days in the wilderness outside the factory, accompanied by sand and sparse bushes-this ghost place is really full of sand, and it was dry and hot in February.
The two days of investigation gave the bizarre maids a general understanding of this important Persian manufacturing company. All they knew should be known, and there was basically no secret to hide.
On the night of the third day, Zhou Qingfeng once again crossed the wall and broke into Hesa. He went straight to the warehouse in the factory area and entered through the huge ventilation duct.
In the 1970s, Grumman was allowed to sell 80 Persian Tomcats to Persia and delivered 79. In more than ten years, due to the war and lack of spare parts, more than half of the Tomcats have been lost.
Hesa did everything possible to repair the Tomcat, and even collected the wreckage that was shot down and crashed in the war. There are also many Tomcats with damaged bodies here.
Hundreds of wreckages of aircraft were densely accumulated in multiple warehouses, among which dozens of Tomcats. They can only be collected and stored as donors for remains during maintenance.
Zhou Qingfeng seems to be standing in a scrap buying station, surrounded by piles of metal parts and broken bodies. "The Persians can't repair, it doesn't mean we can't repair it."
Sofia took Zhou Qingfeng to a td-30 turbofan engine. The dust in the desert environment was blown in by the ventilation fan, and a thick layer fell on the blades of the turbofan.
Zhou Qingfeng used a cleaning trick to strip the dust from the engine. He took a closer look at the blades, and there were dense pits on it, which was the result of use in a desert environment.
The alchemy workshop opened, and the "Albatross" stored inside was pushed out by the spirit slaves, giving way to repairing the magic circle.
There are more than 20 dismantled td-30s in the warehouse. This kind of engine weighs nearly two tons and is placed on the mobile platform. Zhou Qingfeng and others joined forces to push one of them into the middle of the repair circle.
The master and servant's ideas were very simple. Sophia copied the required repair materials to her hand, and simply tried to repair the old ‘Tomcat’ that was put in the warehouse.
The warehouse is closed, as long as there is not much noise, no one will come in. Zhou Qingfeng repaired one is one, this will not disturb the factory guards, but also just can verify the correctness of the data.
Alci turned into liquid metal, rummaging silently in the storehouse's body cemetery, looking for parts that could be used. Zhou Qingfeng went to another world and used the altar of faith to exchange a large amount of second-order ‘complete restoration’ with several goddesses.
For the turbofan engine with high thrust, the "complete repair" is not enough. It needs to be combined with the alchemy circle and Sofia's arcane effect.
Hundreds of golden lights lit up in the circle, lasting a few minutes. The power of magic brings vitality to rigid metals, damaged turbofan blades gradually recover, and precision structures such as compressors and control lines are renewed.
When the arcane effect stops, the original pothole leaves become smooth and firm, as if they had just been shipped from the factory.
"Great, if we can repair the engine, it means that we can also repair the airframe, repair the radar, repair the flight control, repair the hydraulic system, and repair the swept wing."
Zhou Qingfeng cheered in a low voice, the wreckage of the fighter beside him seemed to be boiling. The Persians have already categorized all parts and components, all he has to do is to repair and reassemble them.
"Think about it, how many Tomcats can we fix here?"
