Qingcheng. Eye of the Sky Project Department!
The conference room was crowded, and big bosses gathered!
Not only Nie Nansun, the general person in charge of the project, but also the person in charge of each sub-project, and even many experts specially invited from Jinling 14th Institute were also there.
And today so many people gathered here just because of a magical antenna design!
More than ten days ago, when Gu Chenghua returned to the project department with the complete drawings he obtained from Zhou Yang, he quickly caused a sensation.
Compared with the previous "waste drafts", the drawings brought back this time include 24 drawings, which are quite complete.
Moreover, the drawings directly indicate the names of these designs - circular flat-plate slot array antennas. This is clearly the antenna design of the pulse Doppler radar used by airborne fighters from many foreign countries.
Good guy, when Nie Nansun and others saw these pictures, their first reaction was, good guy, this young man really dares to think!
Although everyone thinks that these drawings are just Zhou Yang's wild ideas and are unlikely to be realized.
But now that I’ve got it back, let’s study it!
After all, such an antenna layout is quite novel, and it may also inspire their research. What's more, everyone also wants to verify Zhou Yang's actual level through this design drawing.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Nie Nansun, experts and professors from the project department immediately studied these drawings!
At first, Nie Nansun and others just wanted to demonstrate whether what was designed on these drawings was really a "circular flat plate slot array antenna" and whether the antennas of the pulse Doppler radars boasted abroad were laid out in this way.
As for performance, no one has any expectations.
After all, even these people have never seen the antenna layout of a real airborne pulse Doppler radar, let alone a young person in a non-related field.
Therefore, Nie Nansun and others only expected Zhou Yang's drawings to be similar in appearance, and there were no other requirements.
Don't think this requirement is low. The creativity of Chinese people is beyond imagination. As long as we are given a gourd, we can draw a scoop.
Just like when we studied nuclear submarines, there was very little information. There was only a concept and nothing else.
It happened that a diplomat in a beautiful country saw a model of a Washington nuclear submarine in a supermarket, so he brought it back to his country. It was this model that gave countless inspirations to our country's nuclear submarine design experts.
It is hard to imagine that we started our research on nuclear submarines with such a model.
In just three years, the 091 nuclear submarine came out and is now in service in the navy.
It would be valuable if the antenna layout on these drawings resembled a true circular flat plate slot array antenna.
However, the results of the research surprised everyone in the project department!
After some argumentation, experts within the Eye of the Sky unanimously believe that the layout of this antenna is very strict and novel, and it seems to be the legendary circular flat-plate slot array antenna.
Even if it is not, if it can be produced, it can achieve similar effects.
After coming to this conclusion, everyone including Nie Nansun could not sit still and immediately conducted in-depth research on this design plan.
But they soon realized a problem. Their project department did not establish a pulse Doppler radar project.
Regarding pulse Doppler radar, there is also research in China and a large amount of data has been collected.
Unfortunately, because the West has very strict technical control in this area, the data collected in China are only superficial, and even the most basic principles are not understood, so the research has not made much progress.
After thinking again and again, Nie Nansun reported to higher-ups and applied to mobilize experts from the Jinling 14 Institute, who were more experienced and had some research experience in pulse Doppler radar, to conduct a more rigorous review of Zhou Yang's design. Argument.
As for Jinling 14th Institute, they heard that someone from the Eye of the Sky project department had actually designed a flat-panel slot array antenna, and they all became interested.
Soon, eight experts in related fields braved the severe cold and took a special plane to Qingcheng, Saibei, and quickly devoted themselves to the study of these drawings.
Today, everyone gathered together to make a final conclusion on this design plan!
"Ding-deng-deng!"
Nie Nansun, who was in the main seat, knocked on the conference table habitually to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Comrades, we have been studying those drawings for some time. Whether it is a circular flat plate slot array antenna, and whether it is worthy of in-depth study, it is time to come to a conclusion. Who can say it first!"
After hearing Nie Nansun's words, Niu Weitong immediately said: "Old Nie, I'd better give some advice first and tell you my opinion!"
"please!"
"Although I have never studied flat-panel slot array antennas, my main research direction is radar antennas, so I have my own understanding and opinions on this design plan. Although at our current industrial level, it is still difficult to produce the antenna design in this plan. It is a bit difficult, but its functional layout is complete. I think this solution is very valuable, even..."
"Even to what?"
"It is even more valuable than the Type 204 (actually not yet finalized) fire control radar we are currently studying!"
As soon as these words came out, all the experts and professors present were shocked.
As a top expert in radar research and design in China, Niu Weitong can be regarded as a real leader especially in radar antenna research. It is really beyond everyone's expectation that he can give such a high evaluation.
At this moment, Professor Bi from Jinling Institute 14 also said: "I agree with Professor Niu. Our institute has been conducting research on pulse Doppler radar over the years, and has also obtained some information on foreign airborne radars and Picture, I can say with certainty that this is the design drawing of a flat-panel slot array antenna, and it is of very high value!”
Professor Bi is also the mainstay of domestic radar research and a leader of the 14th Institute. His opinions can basically represent the opinions of the 14th Institute.
As soon as he finished speaking, another expert from the 14th Institute also said: "Back to the design itself, the designer's thinking is very clever. According to his antenna layout, the side lobes are greatly reduced and the antenna efficiency is improved. It’s just genius design.”
"Yes, and more importantly, he controlled the diameter of the antenna to less than 1 meter. This is completely prepared for fighter jets. It is breathtaking!"
"Who says it's not? Regardless of whether it can be produced or not, this design alone has given us a lot of inspiration. I really want to meet this talented designer..."
The experts and professors present expressed their opinions one by one. Although the language of expression was different, the meaning was clear!
Nie Nansun knocked on the conference table again, and then said: "I heard what everyone said. Since everyone agrees that this design drawing is valuable, then I will report the results of the relevant demonstration to the superior department and apply for establishment. Special research team for flat slot array antenna!”
At this time, Professor Bi suddenly said: "Old Nie, our 14th Institute also wants to send people to join this research team. I don't know if it is possible!"
"I personally welcome it, but in the end you have to look at the meaning above!"
"Okay, you apply for the project and I'll report it!"
"good!"
"By the way, Lao Nie, I want to meet this talented designer. Is that possible?" Professor Bi said again.
Nie Nansun smiled and said, "Not yet!"
"Why?"
"The situation of the designer of these drawings is a bit complicated. It is not appropriate to contact you for the time being. I will talk to you about the specific situation later!"
Then Nie Nansun said again: "Okay, let's end the meeting here today. Dismissal!"
Afterwards, Nie Nansun hurriedly left the conference room!
To be honest, the advanced level of this design exceeded everyone's expectations, and it also made everyone, including Nie Nansun, realize Zhou Yang's ability and his value.
Nie Nansun's original idea was to slowly observe Zhou Yang and transfer him to the core project department if he was capable enough.
But now I have to temporarily adjust my plan, and some things have to be brought forward!
