Chapter 89 You call the C-5M Super Galaxy an old transport plane? This is Daxia's "old treasure"!
Xiake Institute.

Two figures hurriedly walked into the top-secret external liaison room.

Without asking any questions, Liu Zhixue gave up his seat and explained the whole story.

"The other party sent an email five minutes ago. Our email system has not yet received the second email."

"Okay, I already know." Zhang Yuli nodded and sat down.

It was still the same security verification procedure. Although he found it very troublesome, after all, it was a confidential matter, not to mention that it came from a "mysterious organization" and was related to the future fate of Daxia?

Even though the term "national treasure" is not enough to describe its importance, the term "national treasure" can barely match its importance.

Therefore, it is never wrong to be cautious.

Soon the screen showed the system background image, and a new email message was pinned to the top.

[Excuse me, does Daxia need transport aircraft technology? ]

Looking at the content of just ten or so words, confusion and shock were written all over their faces.

"What are you talking about?" Zheng Lixing choked up, and after a long while he finally uttered a sentence: "Do we need a transport plane?"

Do you even need to ask this? Daxia really needs it.

Just now, Zhao Qing was acting like a rogue here at the Xiake Institute and asking for the key technology of Y-20. Isn't this just like sleeping with a pillow?

Which country in the world would have too much of this?

He hurriedly urged: "Lao Zhang, please reply quickly, it's been almost ten minutes."

"I know." Zhang Yuli finally reacted and his fingers quickly typed a line of text.

"Daxia is very interested in the 'transport aircraft technology' you mentioned."

'If you are unable to receive information temporarily, you can contact us at any time.'

After sending this email, I am waiting for the further reply from the "mysterious organization" on the other side.

Zhang Yuli's face was full of anticipation: "I just don't know what kind of transport aircraft technology this will be."

"Old man Zheng, which one do you think it will be?"

He glanced at Zheng Lixing who was lost in thought.

Hear this.

"There are so many transport planes around the world. What do you want me to say?"

Zheng Lixing listed the names of several transport aircraft without hesitation: "The C-17 is the global leader, there is also the Russian Il-76 An-22, my country's Y-8, and so on."

There are so many types of transport aircraft, and there are hundreds of them developed by countries large and small.

The upper limit includes super-large transport aircraft such as the C-17 Globemaster and An-225, and the lower limit includes small and medium-sized transport aircraft with a load capacity not as large as that of helicopters.

Who knows which model the mysterious organization is talking about? This kind of speculation is completely equivalent to blind guessing.

Just as the two were guessing and speculating, a prompt sounded and the mysterious organization replied to the email.

【We have received the email. 】

[This transport aircraft model is relatively old, but it is also the main transport aircraft of the Eagle Sauce. 】

【Please reply if necessary. 】

Suddenly, their faces froze.

"The Eagle Sauce's 'main' transport aircraft?" Zhang Yuli stared at this 'keyword' and muttered to himself.

If we narrow the scope to the main transport aircraft developed by the United States, and it is an old model, then it will be very easy to guess.

Zheng Lixing also had many names flashing through his mind: "Is the model relatively old? C133? C-135? C-141? Or is it the C-5?"

"As for the C-17 Globemaster, it is a recent development and certainly does not count."

"Old Zheng, do you think the mysterious organization has obtained the technology of the C-130 transport aircraft?" The smile on Zhang Yuli's lips seemed a little forced.

What is the current main transport aircraft of the United States? Is it the latest C-17 Globemaster?
No, neither is right.

It is the C-130 transport aircraft, which is hailed as "the most successfully designed transport aircraft in the history of American transport aircraft". Since it entered service in the early s, more than aircraft have been produced and dozens of models have been modified. Even now, there are continuous orders and this transport aircraft is still being produced.

It has been in service for more than 50 years and is still used as the main transport aircraft for the United States, so this transport aircraft was the first one he thought of.

"This thing is really Eagle Sauce's 'old treasure'!"

Zheng Lixing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But if it's this kind of transport aircraft technology, Daxia won't be of much use." The transport aircraft was developed in the early 1950s and it even uses a traditional four-engine turboprop engine. This technology is really old and outdated.

What the Daxia Y-20 project needs is technical experience in large strategic transport aircraft, which is a completely different concept.

"So what if it's a C-130? Don't we have enough of it?"

Zhang Yuli shook his head: "At worst, we can learn from other people's successful experience and develop a cheaper turboprop engine, which will also be very useful for Daxia."

He cannot ignore the value of conventional medium tactical transport aircraft because of the importance of the Y-20 project.

Isn't there a shortage of this technology?
The main transport aircraft currently used by Daxia is still the Y-8, and the development of the Y-130, which is comparable to the C-9 Hercules, has just entered the final stage.

Even though the C-130 is an old technology from decades ago, it also has great reference value. This medium-sized tactical transport aircraft requires lower flying costs and cheaper manufacturing prices.

Obviously, the C-130 transport aircraft meets this condition and is exactly what Daxia needs.

"That's true." Zheng Lixing thought of something: "And this C-130 might be an upgraded version in recent years."

That C-130J model just completed its redesign a few years ago.

After all, an organization with such magical means would not be interested in the most initial version of the C-130 transport aircraft.

Hear this.

Zhang Yuli continued to type a line of text without hesitation.

'Daxia is also very interested in this old transport aircraft technology.'

'Can we know the specific model of this transport aircraft?'

Soon, a reply email came from the other side.

[This transport aircraft is a C-5 model. ]

[We will send all the technologies to you later, please be prepared to receive them. ]

"Hiss, C-5 transport plane? Is this the old transport plane that the 'mysterious organization' mentioned?"

Zheng Lixing looked at the model number on the email and immediately smiled.

My goodness, I thought the old model transport plane you were going to give me was the C-130 Hercules, but you told me it was the C-5 Galaxy?

Is this a concept?

Even if this is just an old transport plane, it is clearly Daxia's "old treasure".

"I didn't expect they were talking about the C-5 'Galaxy' transport plane. This is a pleasant surprise."

Zhang Yuli's heart, which had originally been slightly disappointed, also became hot.

Both the C-130 Hercules and the C-5 transport aircraft are indeed old models. The C-5 transport aircraft was developed and first flown in the s, and is an "old item" that is more than years old.

But you have to know that the difference between the former and the latter is huge.

The C-5 'Galaxy' transport aircraft is a large strategic transport aircraft. Its load-bearing capacity is almost twice that of the current Daxia Y-20 transport aircraft. It is the world's second largest strategic transport aircraft after the An-225.

"It's just that the requirements for take-off and landing are a bit high, but at worst we can just airdrop it."

The smile on Zheng Lixing's face couldn't be wiped away.

The C-5 'Galaxy' transport aircraft, which has super-large transport capabilities, is combined with the Y-20 transport aircraft project currently being developed by Daxia.

This is an epic enhancement of Daxia's strategic capabilities.

however.

The smiles on their faces didn't last long before a beeping sound was heard.

An email appeared in the background, along with a multitude of compressed files as attachments.

However, this is not the focus of their main concern.

Instead, their eyes were fixed on the name in the title, and they were stunned for a moment.

【C-5M 'Super Galaxy' transport aircraft technology. 】

"They call the C-5M 'Super Galaxy' an old transport plane?" Zheng Lixing looked at the words in amazement.

Even the Americans want to hit someone after hearing this!

If this thing is considered an old transport plane, are there any more advanced ones in the world?
