Qin Lao and the others nodded in agreement after hearing Yang Xiaotao's suggestion. However, they were all well aware of the consequences of leaking the aircraft design drawings.
The most direct consequence is that the enemy will be able to analyze the aircraft's core technical parameters in a targeted manner, thereby finding the aircraft's weaknesses.
For example, radar reflection characteristics, aircraft aerodynamic layout, and defense vulnerabilities.
Once countermeasures are developed to address these weaknesses, the aircraft produced will lose their original combat advantages.
Then, they would replicate the same fighter jet based on the design drawings, or reverse engineer it, to quickly improve their own military equipment and break the original strategic balance.
This is how the early J-7 came about.
Therefore, Yang Xiaotao spoke in a relaxed and ordinary manner.
However, they all knew that once too many aircraft design drawings were leaked, these two aircraft would essentially lose their value for production.
Otherwise, the aircraft produced with a large investment of funds would become targets for the enemy.
By then, all those initial investments will have been wasted, and the losses will outweigh the gains.
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent, and everyone was lost in their own thoughts.
Yang Xiaotao naturally understood this principle.
But for now, we can only hope that the other party doesn't receive many design drawings.
otherwise
The only option is to redesign one.
'Redesign one?'
As soon as this thought arose, Yang Xiaotao felt instantly enlightened and his mind opened up.
Anyway, it will take another six months, or even longer, for the Emperor Wu of Han's ship to be launched.
Therefore, redesigning a carrier-based aircraft is not impossible.
Moreover, with the design experience of the Panda aircraft, Yang Xiaotao felt that designing another one would be much smoother, since the original draft drawings were still available.
Moreover, there are many benefits to redesigning it.
Thinking this, I opened the system panel and glanced at my current credits.
After upgrading to Level 3 Computer Proficiency last time, I had over 25,000 left.
Although I haven't read many books and earned little during this period, my income has been slowly increasing and now amounts to more than 26,000.
This clearly demonstrates that the few credits earned from reading books are practically worthless; even if they were a small amount, they wouldn't be enough to fill your stomach.
The design blueprints for the Panda fighter jet are worth 30,000 credits, so you might be able to earn another 30,000 credits.
Next, it takes 60,000 credits to upgrade the main skill to Level 4 Engineer.
When the main skill is upgraded, you will gain new sub-skills and unlock new skills.
Moreover, the Panda fighter jet's previous system evaluation was only 'Excellent-Medium', so what if it could achieve 'Excellent-Superior' on its own?
Thinking this, Yang Xiaotao found himself somewhat impatient.
But after calming down, I felt a bit dumbfounded.
Could it be that this is actually a good thing?
At this moment, Boss Peng led his men in from outside, his face solemn and serious.
Yang Xiaotao came to his senses, his expression calm, and his worries were gone.
If all else fails, just redesign one; it's not like we lack the ability.
If there's enough time, designing two models wouldn't be a problem.
Several people stood up to greet him. President Peng waved for them to sit down, his gaze lingering on Yang Xiaotao's face for a moment before he said, "The reason I've called you here today is to discuss the new type of aircraft."
"This is an evaluation of the design drawings you submitted. Please take a look."
After saying that, he had the staff hand the report to the three people.
Yang Xiaotao took the assessment report, flipped through it, and found that it was similar to Wu Zhe's and his team's production assessment.
Then I looked at the assessments from the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry and the Logistics Department. Overall, the aircraft manufacturing costs of these two companies are lower, and their advantages are more obvious.
The manufacturing difficulty is naturally lower.
Yang Xiaotao was not surprised by this.
From these assessment data, Yang Xiaotao could glean the characteristics of the Logistics Department and the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry's aircraft, and then mentally compare them with the Hawk fighter jet.
However, he still felt that the Eagle fighter jet he presented was more comprehensive.
After all, this is the main fourth-generation fighter jet of another time-space United States, and it has been tested in actual combat.
"Since you've read it all, I'll just say it directly."
After seeing that the three of them had finished reading, President Peng said, "The main problem is that our resources are limited, and we can't do everything."
"You all know this. You all know how much resources were spent on a J-8, from imitation to design to production."
At this point, both Elder Qin and Elder Zhang's faces flushed slightly.
"Therefore, we can only choose two of them as the key products to focus on and promote production."
"As for the remaining two, we'll see how it goes."
Everyone in the room understood what Boss Peng meant: choose two out of four.
"However, as carrier-based aircraft, the Panda fighter jets provided by the Ninth Division will be one of the key focuses."
President Peng looked at Yang Xiaotao with a solemn expression, "But the premise is that you must ensure the safety of the design drawings and prevent them from being leaked."
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and then nodded, "Yes, we will find out as soon as possible."
"If there are indeed potential risks, we will come up with new design drawings as soon as possible."
“Redesign one.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
Old Qin was the first to react, his gaze towards Yang Xiaotao filled with shock, "Redesign one?"
"You, were you all prepared all along?"
"Are the new design drawings ready?"
After saying that, he looked at Elder Zhang and said, "That's how the Eagle style was before, right?"
Old Zhang was also taken aback by Yang Xiaotao's words, "You're designing a new fighter jet?"
Even Mr. Peng wanted to hear a specific answer.
Seeing that everyone was looking over, Yang Xiaotao first said to Old Qin speechlessly, "Do you think we are gods? You think we've been prepared for this for so long? If we had that ability, we would have conjured up airplanes long ago. Why would we need design drawings?"
Then he explained to President Peng, "We all know the consequences of leaking the aircraft design drawings, and we understand the impact that it will be targeted for research."
"So instead of taking risks, it's better to redesign it and turn weaknesses into strengths. Then, it's not certain who will outmaneuver whom."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Peng's eyes lit up.
He understood what that meant.
The point is to outsmart the other party.
But his joy was short-lived, as he frowned again. "You make it sound so easy. Aircraft design isn't something you can just change a coefficient or modify the design of casually."
"This involves many aspects, and the difficulties involved are considerable."
As soon as Mr. Peng finished speaking, Mr. Zhang nodded immediately, and did not forget to bring up the process of their manufacturing of the J-8 fighter jet back then.
"Back when we were manufacturing the J-8, we kept revising the design drawings, and in the end, we ended up with a hybrid that didn't quite resemble anything else."
"Several experiments ended in failure, and in the end we had to start all over again."
"We must be very careful about revising the design drawings."
Hearing Mr. Peng and Mr. Zhang remind him like this, Yang Xiaotao simply nodded seriously, "Mr. Peng, Mr. Zhang, don't worry."
“We understand these things and have analyzed them.” “Since we were able to design this new type of aircraft, we know how to improve and adjust it.”
"Give us time and we are confident we can design it."
Hearing Yang Xiaotao's certainty, President Peng and Elder Zhang said no more.
Old Qin suddenly gave a thumbs up, saying, "That's a powerful statement."
"If one doesn't work, then redesign one."
"Great!"
Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes at Old Qin, "Why don't you guys show some domineering side for once?"
Old Qin leaned back in his chair after hearing this, then shrugged, "They didn't give us a chance."
"Virtue!"
Yang Xiaotao said something speechlessly, which earned him a chuckle from Old Qin.
Mr. Peng shook his head, but still mentioned it in the end, "Confidentiality has always been a priority."
"Especially your research institute, which is now well-known both at home and abroad."
"You'll only face more enemies in the future, so you need to be mentally prepared for that."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "This serves as a reminder. We will increase security measures in the future, and any matter involving the security of the Ninth Department will be dealt with resolutely and seriously."
Mr. Peng nodded, and then the meeting continued.
One carrier-based aircraft slot is tentatively set, and the remaining slot will be chosen from three different fighter jets.
As Yang Xiaotao predicted, the Eagle fighter jet was the first to be eliminated.
Perhaps this leak is the main reason.
Then there's the hummingbird from the Third Ministry of Machine Building.
The Flying Tigers from the Logistics Department emerged victorious.
Yang Xiaotao considered the performance of the two fighter jets and understood the superior's choice.
Nowadays, the main fighter jets are naturally the J-8 and J-8C, and these two fighter jets have similar styles, both of which are known for their speed.
The Hummingbird from the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry also followed the path of speed, and if this development continues, it will lead to a homogenization of fighter jet models.
On the contrary, the Flying Tigers focused on firepower and low-altitude ground support, which was a different approach but also made up for their shortcomings.
Therefore, choosing Flying Tiger is a logical step.
However, if this were applied to the Hawk fighter jet, both of these aspects could be achieved.
Old Zhang's expression was complicated, but he didn't say much.
It's just that the other party manufactured it first; it's not like it can't be done.
As long as there are no problems with the aircraft design drawings, it will be completed sooner or later.
Moreover, this is only a preliminary agreement. If things go wrong later, if problems arise during the manufacturing process, or if problems occur during test flights, their design drawings might come in handy.
Of course, they didn't want that to happen either.
Everything was for the sake of revolution and construction.
When Old Qin heard the final decision, the wrinkles on his face twisted into a wide smile.
After the meeting results were announced, President Peng told Yang Xiaotao and Old Qin to go back and prepare. Once the official documents were issued, they could enter production mode.
Of course, Yang Xiaotao also needs to submit a report before that.
To prove the reliability of the Panda fighter jet.
So the problem returned to square one: solve the case as soon as possible and determine the losses.
After the meeting, Qin Lao invited the group to dinner, but Yang Xiaotao and Zhang Lao declined. They then got into their respective cars and left.
Standing by the office window, President Peng watched the group leave, holding a teacup, before letting out a long sigh.
He walked to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed the number a moment later.
"Old Zeng, how's the investigation going over there?"
Zeng Ning's voice followed immediately, "We are investigating Simmons' background and looking for evidence."
Mr. Peng frowned. "Still haven't found it?"
"No, the other party must have disguised themselves when they came. Their identity information can be found in France, but their past life trajectory is very simple."
"In addition, we are reviewing and examining the channels through which the other party entered the country, and we will also visit the places they have been to in the past few days."
Zeng Ning recounted the whole story, and after listening, President Peng said, "Right now, we don't have time to play the long game."
"We need to get the other party to talk as soon as possible to determine the extent of the leak of the design drawings."
"Also, we must find the person who leaked the information."
Zeng Ning nodded, "Yes, we will do our best to complete the mission."
After the two parties finished their call, Mr. Peng pondered for a moment on the table before dialing again.
"Hey, Old Chen, it's me."
"The meeting's over, do you know what this kid said?"
"Ha ha."
"Yes, you guessed it right. It's about designing another set. Wow, that sounds like making pancakes."
Laughter came from the office, and Old Chen on the other end of the phone was also laughing non-stop. What made them happy was Yang Xiaotao's attitude.
Unyielding, just like when I was a fitter, I would redo things if I made a mistake.
Mr. Chen felt this deeply.
It is precisely this indomitable spirit that is the secret to Yang Xiaotao's continuous achievements.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotao drove back to the Ninth Department and immediately asked Lou Xiao'e to move the panda design drawings into the conference room.
Since a leak has occurred, it's highly likely that a new system will need to be designed, and Yang Xiaotao thinks it's best to prepare as soon as possible.
Soon, the people at the Ninth Research Institute found out what Yang Xiaotao was up to.
At that moment, the people at the aircraft design institute felt a heavy weight in their hearts.
Regardless, they all bear responsibility for this.
But right now, they are powerless to do anything about it.
Others who heard about it also felt immense pressure.
Especially the security personnel; this was an oversight on their part, and in the end, General Manager Yang took the blame.
If they couldn't solve the case quickly, they all felt they were letting down President Yang's trust and the uniforms they wore.
As for Li Hongfeng, Lao Hong, Zhao Gang, and the others, after they came to the office and learned about the situation, their hearts sank.
Of the two aircraft design drawings, the Hawk's failure to be selected is most likely due to a leak.
As for pandas, they might also be implicated.
These two design drawings are the culmination of the Ninth Division's hard work.
They watched their comrades work tirelessly day and night. If they didn't achieve results, wouldn't it be a waste?
That's why, when they heard that Yang Xiaotao wanted to redesign the aircraft, they all agreed.
Now, as long as Yang Xiaotao's fighting spirit remains undiminished, what can they say?
I will never hold anyone back.
For the next two days, Yang Xiaotao settled into the conference room and began his journey of designing a new carrier-based aircraft.
