While a bunch of toys were blowing in the ground, the surface was also very lively.
This is an airport that is not marked on the public map, just above the underground military industrial area covering an area of nearly 100 square kilometers.
In a spacious twin hangar, there are two dark gray matte-painted aircraft parked.
After cutting off the bulging cockpit, anyone looking at the flat fuselage will know that it is impossible to stuff the pilot into it, and the final answer will be obvious. These are two drones.
The UAV is codenamed Sharp Sword. The overall fuselage is smooth and streamlined. It adopts a layout of flying wings without tail and fused wing-body. This design allows the radar reflection signal of the two aircraft to be very low and has very good stealth. ability.
Because it is unmanned, it can easily perform various difficult and exciting actions. The normal sailing speed is Mach 1.2 and the maximum sailing speed is Mach 2.3.
At the same time, it is also the largest drone developed by Pla so far, and has already caught up with some light fighters.
Some of the materials used in the two aircraft have been replaced from traditional metal materials with new metal-non-metal composite materials.
Up to 60% are made of new composite materials, and the missile components carried are also 80% composite materials.
Not only are all parts better adapted to various harsh environments, but they also greatly reduce the weight of the drone, as are the toys blowing underground.
Lighter weight means more ammunition can be carried, and more charges of various types of ammunition can be carried.
China's material revolution has now affected all aspects of production and manufacturing.
The two drones have finished blowing air underground and are now in the flight test stage.
There were no ground staff in the hangar, only some scientific researchers in white coats holding a tablet and checking or recording something.
"The 156th flight test of the Lijian-1 test prototype is about to begin. On-site personnel are requested to go to a safe observation location!"
Suddenly, an announcement was heard on the radio, and all the scientific researchers filed into an observation station next to the tarmac.
Five minutes later, the two drones slowly started up, and a harsh roar of engines echoed throughout the airport.
After slowly driving out of the hangar, they began to taxi on the runway. The tail flames ejected from the tail made the air distorted. After gliding for 300 meters, the two aircraft gradually accelerated and soared into the sky like onions on dry land.
In the observation station, a group of scientific researchers looked at the pictures displayed on several screens. These were pictures taken from various angles by several cameras on the drone.
Several pilots watched the flying movements of the drones and discussed with the scientific researchers how to continue to improve some flying movements.
The drone's mission this time was to fly 1,500 kilometers and then return. During this period, it was navigated by satellites outside the atmosphere and rainbow drones in the stratosphere.
The entire takeoff and landing process is automatically controlled by the drone.
In the early days, the takeoff was controlled manually in a fixed mode. After flying so many times, everyone has collected enough data and can start to let the drone fly on its own.
During the entire flight process, the drone only has some fixed target data information, such as maps, routes, airport locations, weather, several target locations it must pass through, etc. During the entire flight, the takeoff, flight, and landing are all done by the two drones in the sky. A bunch of rainbows form a cluster and you calculate it yourself.
Of course, the entire process is supervised by Xi. If the situation goes wrong, Xi will immediately take over control of the drone. The pilot can also lie down in the special cockpit at the command center for immersive control.
The pla Air Force had been complaining about this at the beginning. Everyone was flying well during daily flight training. Suddenly, a sharp sword rushed into our own airspace, startling everyone, and making everyone jump.
But over time, everyone got used to it, and it became a rapid response training program of the Pla Air Force.
Now pla is very satisfied with the Lijian-1 attack drone. It is estimated that it will be finalized and produced to equip the entire army in two or three months.
. . .
An hour later, Chen Yi arrived at a large shooting range.
Boom——Boom——Boom——
A group of vehicles had just fired a salvo in the smoke-filled shooting range.
He looked at a dozen Type 99 main battle tanks and felt speechless. For various reasons, these were completely different things from the toy with the same name in his previous life.
It has 2,200 horsepower and has a 125 mm caliber main gun, 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun. Because it uses a large amount of composite materials, it should obviously be the size of a main battle tank, but it weighs only 41 tons.
It is equipped with twenty-four rounds of armor-piercing bullets, twenty-four rounds of armor-piercing bullets, and several rounds of grenades. If it is replaced by artillery-launched missiles, the corresponding number of shells will be reduced. A robotic arm-type robot system is used to automatically load the ammunition, with a rate of fire of 12 per minute. hair.
Due to the application of new composite materials in the ammunition, it can penetrate a 700 mm homogeneous steel plate at a distance of three thousand meters, and can be replaced by a gun-launched missile with a range of up to six thousand meters.
The powerful power system can reach speeds of 70 kilometers per hour, which is very suitable for experienced drivers to race. Coupled with its light weight and large size, it can adapt to some terrains that other main station tanks cannot adapt to, and its maneuverability is even better than some light tanks. .
After ceramic-microcrystalline steel composite armor is combined with active reactive armor, the resistance to armor or armor-piercing projectiles can reach 1500 mm.
These are just the basic configurations. The modular configuration also allows the Type 99 to be equipped with various small missiles, lasers, radars, and cannon modules.
All in all, this is a very excellent land vehicle, and the Type 99 can already meet the requirements of pla for a long time to come.
After watching this group of 99-types, Chen Yi turned his attention to the two groups of "little ones" who were smaller than the 99-style ones.
One of the group of tiny ones was only slightly smaller than Blue Star's light tanks, but it was still possible to tell that they were tanks.
pla's latest generation light tank - ztq99, the same model product codenamed Scorpio by the Qinglong Study Group.
The body is 6.5 meters long, 3.1 meters wide, and 2.5 meters high. It is worth noting that even if the Scorpio is in the state of the body muzzle facing forward, the entire vehicle length is only 6.5 meters.
Whether it is the turret or the chassis, it can be seen that this is a heresy in the Blue Star tank family.
The Scorpion has a rear turret layout. The turret is located at the rear of the vehicle and looks like a curled-up scorpion tail. This also shows that the steering angle of the Scorpion's turret is much smaller than that of other tanks, with only a 63-degree steering range.
The Scorpio's chassis does not use tracks, but wheels.
As an all-terrain light tank designed for rapid maneuverability, Chen Yi directly abandoned the traditional track and turret layout.
Because the light weight of composite materials allows him to play like this, and if it is designed this way, the production difficulty is much lower and much simpler than traditional tanks. This means that the Scorpio’s production line drawings can be stored in the base. In the car.
The Scorpio chassis uses six all-terrain wheels for impressive maneuverability even on rough terrain.
The weapon system is a 100mm smoothbore cannon and a 12.7mm machine gun, equipped with the latest type of ammunition. Its power cannot be compared with that of a main battle tank, but it must exceed that of a light tank. If necessary, a laser weapon system can also be installed, and the speed can be up to 120 kilometers per hour.
Only two people can control a Scorpio well, and there are also unmanned models with the cab cut off.
This vehicle is not positioned to compete with tanks on the battlefield, but to use its super mobility to quickly support friendly forces, or to use its numerical advantage as a vanguard cannon fodder consumable.
The advantages of quantity and maneuverability make up for the shortcomings of its small turret turning range. Chen Yi believes that the mainland has entered the era of intelligent production. How to gang up on opponents during a war should be a priority. Only then will they be entangled in the results of duels between various tanks.
