Xipo. Research Institute!
After the simple opening remarks, Mr. Nie said again: "Today so many of us gathered in Babaoliang Village are mainly here for Comrade Zhou Yang. We all want to hear some of his ideas on the transformation of J-8 fighter jets. The following is Let’s listen to his opinion!”
Zhou Yang was not polite, coughed slightly, and took over the conversation!
"First of all, on behalf of all the scientific research staff of the institute, I would like to welcome Mr. Jiang, Mr. Nie and the comrades from the Liaoshen Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. I know that everyone's time is limited, so I won't talk nonsense and let's go straight to the center!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "Since you are here today, it means you have seen my plan. Then I would like to ask the comrades at the aircraft factory, what do you think of that plan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhenhua said immediately: "To be honest, our factory gathered a large number of technical backbones last night to carefully study your improvement plan. Regarding your proposal of using an all-metal semi-monocoque fuselage, , air intake on both sides, aerodynamic layout of flat tail and double ventral fins under the delta wing, theoretically there is no big problem!”
"In the end, we came to the conclusion that if we can solve the radar problem ourselves, we can completely upgrade the J-8 fighter in this way."
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "We have solved the radar problem. We have developed the most advanced pulse Doppler radar in the world. Now we only need to conduct a real aircraft test flight before it can be finalized and mass produced!"
Before everyone could calm down, Zhou Yang changed his voice and said again: "But what I want to say is that the solution I provided you is only the simplest version, and it is completely for the test flight of our radar aircraft. This is not a complete improvement plan for the J-8!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes in the conference room were fixed on him again.
Even Mr. Jiang asked with interest: "Comrade Zhou Yang, so you have a more complete improvement plan?"
"I have some ideas, but whether they will work or not remains to be proven!" Zhou Yang said modestly.
"Hahaha, young people are still brave, so tell me what you think!"
Then Mr. Jiang continued: "To do research, you need to have the spirit of not being afraid of failure. You can speak boldly!"
Zhou Yang did not talk about his improvement plan, but stood up and said: "Before talking about the improvement plan, I would like to make a digression, that is, what kind of fighter do we need?"
"Right now, in addition to J-5, J-6 and J-7 fighters, our air force has also imported some Mao Xiong fighters. In terms of quantity, we are not less than any other country, but we still fail to protect our airspace! "
"In the past twenty years or so, neither the Thieves nor the Bears have paid much attention to our Air Force. Their fighters and reconnaissance aircraft are very arrogant and often break into our airspace and act recklessly. So, what model do I think? Fighter planes are not important, what is important is that the fighter planes we developed can deter the enemy and protect our airspace!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Jiang immediately took the lead in applauding and said at the same time: "Comrade Zhou Yang said it very well. It doesn't matter what kind of fighter plane it is. The last thing is to be able to protect our airspace!"
"We have been bullied a lot in recent years. The enemy flies advanced fighter planes in our airspace wantonly. A U2 reconnaissance plane leaves us helpless. Even one of their burst balloons can traverse our entire airspace. The country is so damn oppressive!”
Everyone knows that Mr. Jiang is talking about the Thieving Eagle Detection Hot Air Balloon Invasion incident two years ago, which caused a great sensation in the country at that time.
The spy hot air balloon carrying a high-definition camera came from the northwest and crossed the entire northwest. It was not discovered until it entered North China, and it took a lot of effort to shoot it down.
At this time, Zhou Yang took over the conversation again, and then said: "So, whether it is a J-8 fighter or an improved J-8, my idea is, either don't build it, or you must build the best one!"
"Comrade Zhou Yang, what do you mean best?" Gu Zhenhua frowned.
"Third generation fighter jet!"
"Buzz!"
Hearing this, there was a buzz in the entire conference room!
Except for a few people like Mr. Jiang and Mr. Nie, most people felt that Zhou Yang's words were a bit too arrogant, and even just talking nonsense.
You know, third-generation fighters are still a new concept, but few countries can get it right.
Even for a major military country like the Thief Eagle, there is currently only one third-generation fighter aircraft currently in service, the F15, and the number is very rare. The F14 is the real supporter of the main combat power of the Thief Eagle Air Force.
In addition, neither Yingjiang nor Gallic Chicken has its own third-generation fighter aircraft.
The country has not even figured out the better second-generation fighters, so how can we develop advanced third-generation fighters? This is the same as how we can run before we can walk!
After a while, Gu Zhenhua said in a deep voice: "Comrade Zhou Yang, do you want to build a third-generation fighter jet?"
"Team Leader Gu, don't you want to build a third-generation machine?" Zhou Yang asked.
"I think so, but do you know what kind of fighter can be regarded as a third-generation fighter? With our current technical level..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang said in a deep voice: "Third-generation fighters refer to supersonic fighters, and their speed must be at least Mach 1.3."
"Compared with second-generation fighters, third-generation fighters have canceled the old steam gauges and cockpit instruments and replaced them with electronic equipment, which has a stronger sense of technology and better practical effects."
"In addition, third-generation fighters can carry multiple single-barrel weapons. The main weapons are air-to-air missiles. With the increasing use of guided missiles, third-generation fighters have stronger ground control capabilities and also have air combat capabilities. ability."
Gu Zhenhua nodded and said: "With our current technical level, it is completely impossible to build a third-generation aircraft!"
"Nothing is absolute!"
With that said, Zhou Yang took out a document from the military satchel he carried with him and handed it to Gu Zhenhua.
Gu Zhenhua didn't hesitate, took the document and read it.
After just two glances, he stood up with a shocked expression, and then looked at Zhou Yang in disbelief.
Everyone else in the conference room was also confused by Gu Zhenhua's reaction. They all looked at the document in his hand with curiosity. Everyone wanted to know what was written on this document and how it could make Gu Zhenhua showed such an expression.
"Comrade Zhou Yang, you...are you serious?"
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "I'm not kidding!"
After Gu Zhenhua watched carefully for a few minutes, he said directly to Mr. Jiang: "Chief, I request a temporary adjournment. I want to talk to Comrade Zhou Yang alone!"
Mr. Jiang knew that there must be something wrong with the document Zhou Yang took out, so he immediately said: "Okay, I just want to know how the radar is doing. You guys talk first, and let's go take a look at the radar!"
Later, Mr. Jiang, accompanied by Guo Yamin, Zheng Aiguo, Yang Hongguang and others, left the office and went to the radar research room at the back.
Soon, only Zhou Yang, Gu Zhenhua and another design expert Gao Dashan were left in the conference room.
"Lao Gu, what are you..."
Before Gao Dashan could finish asking, Gu Zhenhua handed the document in his hand to Gao Dashan, and he said to Zhou Yang: "Comrade Zhou Yang, can you really solve these problems above?"
"Theoretically it's possible, but whether it actually works or not needs to be verified!" Zhou Yang said.
"How sure are you?"
"If it's just the engine stopping in the air, it's more than 90%. If it's the entire fighter upgrade plan, I can't guarantee it. After all, I'm just a radar designer and I can only have a little understanding of fighter research and development!" Zhou Yang said.
Gu Zhenhua always feels a little harsh when he hears the words "understand a little".
"Comrade Zhou Yang, I see that your fighter improvement plan mentions the optimization of the cockpit display system, the upgrade of the fire control computer, and the formulation of relevant standards, etc. If these can be completed smoothly, can our J-8 be upgraded to a third-generation fighter? ?" Gu Zhenhua asked in a deep voice.
"No!" Zhou Yang said decisively.
"Because of the engine?"
"Um!"
The third-generation fighter aircraft uses third-generation turbine engines, which are more maneuverable.
Moreover, the engines of third-generation fighter jets have entered the smokeless stage, making it difficult to observe fighter jets from a long distance.
But at this moment, Zhou Yang suddenly said: "However, if it is completely improved according to my plan, although the fighter aircraft cannot meet the standards of third-generation fighters, its combat effectiveness will not be weaker than ordinary third-generation fighters!"
"real?"
"Um!"
At this time, Gu Zhenhua suddenly said with some excitement: "Comrade Zhou Yang, on behalf of the Liaoshen Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, I formally invite you to participate in the research of the J-8 fighter. If possible, I am willing to give up my position as the leader of the design team..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang stopped him and said, "Team Leader Gu, I will not join your unit!"
Just when Gu Zhenhua was feeling disappointed, Zhou Yang suddenly said again: "But my radar is going to be tested on a real aircraft, and I need a fighter with decent performance. We can finally cooperate!"
Hearing Zhou Yang's words, Gu Zhenhua's eyes suddenly lit up!
PS: The details of the research in the book cannot be written in too much detail. Firstly, it is too detailed and easy to be harmonized. Secondly, it is too boring.
In addition, the process will be greatly shortened. After all, the development cycle of these military products is too long, often taking decades. If we follow this timeline, it would be impossible to write. Besides, the main character is reborn to shorten this process. Please don’t dwell on this!
