Chapter 257 You come to be my deputy chief engineer!

The reason why Chang Haonan wanted to borrow the No. 713 electronic equipment verification machine is also very simple.

He wanted to test the two jamming pods that were about to be completed.

Anything that is going to go to heaven cannot be tested only on the ground.

Moreover, many of the air search and fire control radars that jamming pods mainly face do not have ground search modes.

What's more, another characteristic of pulse Doppler radar is that it will filter out low-speed targets. If you fix the pod on the ground and illuminate it with a radar, you will definitely not get any useful data.

Therefore, after confirming that the equipment can work normally when powered on, and that there are no problems with circuit design and programming, aerial platform testing is necessary.

Under normal circumstances, everyone is a unit under the Committee of Science and Industry. Although the 713th Institute took the lead in building No. 38 machine, after all, it is a chess game across the country, and others will not be unable to use it.

However, what Chang Haonan just said was "it will be used next week."

This is what it means to jump in line.

Although the 14th Institute and the 38th Institute belong to the same group and are very close to each other, they still have to settle accounts clearly. What’s more, in such a large industry as the Electronic Technology Group, cooperation and competition coexist between different institutes.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to jump in line.

However, if Wang Xiaomo nodded, the situation would be different.

After all, in addition to being the executive vice president of the Institute of Electronic Science, he was also the founder and old director of the 38th Institute of Electronic Science and Technology.

"Unit No. 713... should be testing a seeker right now. What are you going to use... for?"

"Academician Wang, you should know that Researcher Xu and I came to Institute 14 this time for the captured pod..."

Although this matter is highly classified, Wang Xiaomo definitely has the authority.

"Of course I know that."

Wang Xiaomo nodded, the expression on his face revealed some confusion, but there was a bit of surprise in his tone:

"But wasn't that thing just shipped back at the end of last month? Did you repair it so quickly?"

If the feasibility study report that had just been released 10 days ago was still something that an outsider dared not comment on casually, then this project of researching jamming pods belonged to his old field, and he fully understood the implications of it. How much work there is.

Not to mention that he had seen the pod before.

Although the report stated that "the wreckage is relatively intact," that was obviously based on the standards of a plane crash.

Judging from the standards of electronic products, it can definitely be called to pieces...

So everyone never thought about fixing it from the beginning. They just thought about whether they could research something. It would be best to reproduce the function of creating false targets for PD radar.

But according to Chang Haonan in front of me, is the 14th Institute performing extraordinary?

Hearing Wang Xiaomo's speculation, Chang Haonan quickly denied it:

"It is definitely impossible to repair it. The storage inside the pod has been severely damaged, and many of the components are strictly embargoed to us and are high-end goods that are not available on the market."

Such an answer made Wang Xiaomo feel a little disappointed. After all, he had really expected it for a moment.

But while feeling disappointed, I also felt a little relieved——

It seems that my understanding of onboard electronic equipment has not gone wrong.

However, this complicated feeling did not last long.

Because Chang Haonan said the next sentence immediately:

"We have preliminary studied the pod, then modified it according to the existing domestic technical level, and built two with the same function. It is expected that they will be produced and tested next week."

"..."

The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment.

Wang Xiaomo looked at Chang Haonan in front of him with puzzled eyes and muttered in his heart:

"Is there something wrong with my understanding of the onboard electronic equipment? That thing is actually very simple?"

After a long while, he asked again:

"Have you always done projects so quickly?"

"Uh……"

Chang Haonan didn't know how to answer this question for a while:

"It's not bad. It's not very fast. The main reason is that I have learned some basic theories of control, which happen to match the emergency response logic of the pod. In addition, the work efficiency of the comrades is also very high."

These words may sound modest at first, but the way they say them indirectly indicates the speaker’s leadership status.

"In that case, your testing process shouldn't take too long."

Wang Xiaomo, who gradually came out of the shock, quickly nodded in agreement:

"I will contact you right away. You can go to Yanliang for a test flight at any time next week. The 38th Institute will do its best to cooperate."

After all, it was his old employer, so he still had some respect.

Chang Haonan quickly thanked him.

"Thank you so much for giving us this convenience."

"There is no need to thank you. They are all key projects related to national defense and security. You are not giving yourself any personal gain."

Wang Xiaomo waved his hand:

"However, I also have a condition."

"You say."

"When this early warning aircraft project is finalized, you have to come and serve as my chief engineer."

Wang Xiaomo's current wave also highlights the fact that he will never stop dying without saying anything shocking.

"what?"

Now it was Chang Haonan's turn to be confused:

"The project chief engineer should not be you..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered that because AWACS is closely related to both radar and aviation fields, it seems that a unique dual chief engineer system is implemented, that is, a chief engineer of the Electronic Technology Group and a chief engineer of the aviation industry.

As expected, Wang Xiaomo explained:

"The chief engineer is indeed me, so I can only grieve you for publicly displaying the title of deputy chief engineer, but you will not be missing in terms of authority. During this period, I found that it is difficult for people from our electrical engineering background to work in a short period of time. I understand the needs of the aircraft design itself within the time required, so I will take the lead in planning, and specific tasks will be carried out by the cooperation of the deputy chief engineer assigned by both parties."

Before Chang Haonan could answer, he added:

"Don't say you can't do it. Although I don't have an aviation background, engineering has its inherent commonality. I'm pretty sure that you are better than at least most of the aerospace engineers I have worked with, and you definitely have this ability. Take up the burden peacefully.”

In fact, after a short period of thinking, Chang Haonan had no intention of refusing.

No matter how efficient it is, even if it succeeds in the 9910 project, project establishment is still a very troublesome task. It is the end of March. Under normal circumstances, it will take until July or August to officially launch the project.

At that time, he already had a bachelor's degree.

Mainly before graduating from bachelor's degree, Chang Haonan actually had a high school diploma. Even if his name is now on the list, there is a high probability that he can handle special tasks, but being a deputy chief engineer with a high school diploma is still too eye-catching.

It's like graduating immediately after enrolling for a PhD.

It's not that you can't, it's mainly that it's not necessary.

Chang Haonan's current ability to mobilize resources within the Science and Technology Commission system is probably no less than that of a mid-level model chief engineer.

But it’s okay if you have a bachelor’s degree. Many designers become famous first and then get a higher degree.

I just feel a little sorry for Liang Shaoxiu who is far away in Nanzheng.

In the original timeline, this position should have been his...

"Okay, I agree."

Seeing Chang Haonan nodding, the smug Wang Xiaomo became excited:

"That's it. In the project report submitted, it is temporarily determined that I will be the project chief engineer, Comrade Xiao Chang, and Comrade Liang Shaoxiu from Factory 182 will be the first and second deputy chief engineers respectively in the aviation industry. Zhou Qun and Wu Manqing How about comrades serving as our first and second deputy chief engineers in electronic technology respectively?"

Of course Chang Haonan has no objection.

The addition of Liang Shaoxiu means that he does not have to be tied to this early warning aircraft project all the time. He only needs to solve some key technical problems.

Moreover, although the design of as many as four deputy chief engineers has slightly reduced the gold content of this position, this is still the first time in his two lives that he has received such an opportunity.

To say that I am not excited is absolutely nonsense.

In short, the flight platform test and the early warning aircraft project were settled together.
