The meeting is still going on!
After Zhou Yang stood up, he coughed lightly, and then said: "Director Yang, Mr. Huang, let me tell you my opinion!"
"please!"
Yang Xi also knew Zhou Yang's identity and knew that the young man in front of him had strong attainments in radar. He might be able to put forward some different opinions.
Zhou Yang collected his thoughts and then said: "After boarding the plane in person to participate in the test, I only have two opinions about Air Police One."
"Which two?" Yang Xi asked subconsciously.
"The first is that it is not suitable to use the Figure 4 bomber as an early warning aircraft platform, and the second is that the airborne radar has serious flaws!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "To put it bluntly, Air Police No. 1 is too backward in terms of aircraft and radar technology. Even if such an early warning aircraft combined with old technologies is developed, it will not be able to meet the needs of air combat." !”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became weird, and everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Zhou Yang.
Some people think that he is an upright person who says whatever he wants without any pretense.
But some people think he is a bit stupid, and this is really rude.
Although people like them were invited to come and participate in the test to find faults, this young man did not find faults. Instead, he criticized the products designed by others and made them completely useless. Isn't this offending?
Sure enough, after listening to Zhou Yang's words, the faces of Yang Xi and others on the stage changed.
There was a problem with the radar during today's test, and it was reasonable for people to find fault with it. They had expected this.
But I didn't expect Zhou Yang to be so rude. He said that even if their aircraft was developed, it would not be able to meet the needs of air combat. This would not only rub salt on their wounds, but also kill people!
Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Yang Xi stared at Zhou Yang and asked in a deep voice: "Comrade Zhou Yang, how can we improve according to your wishes?"
Zhou Yang was about to speak, but Nie Nansun on the stage suddenly said: "Zhou Yang, sit down first, and I will do the talking below!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yang immediately sat down on his seat without saying anything else.
Nie Nansun looked at Yang Xi and others, and then at the experts and professors participating in the meeting below. Then he said: "Comrades, the flaws of Air Police No. 1 are too many and too serious. Instead of thinking about repairs, it is better to redesign a new early warning aircraft!"
As soon as these words came out, it instantly caused an uproar in the entire conference room.
Good guy, are you sure you are making suggestions and not causing trouble?
Yang Xi's expression changed again. He really didn't expect Nie Nansun to say such words on such an occasion.
Nie Nansun's status was so great that even he said that if this early warning aircraft didn't work, then if word got out about it, their project would be really in danger.
In fact, Yang Xi had received news before that the superiors were very dissatisfied with their research and development progress. It had been almost 8 years since there were still many problems, and it was really hard to explain.
"Comrade Nie Nansun, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to shut down our project?"
When speaking, Yang Xi's tone was very cold, and the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became tense.
Nie Nansun shook his head and said: "No, the early warning aircraft is an important weapon of the country and must be studied. There is no doubt about this!"
"But the research plan must be changed. If we study like this, there will be no results!"
"How to change it?"
"The aircraft must be modified, and the radar must also be modified!"
Then Nie Nansun said again: "The aircraft needs to be changed to one with low noise, long range, and relatively flexibility, and the radar needs to be replaced with a more advanced pulse Doppler radar."
Yang Xi frowned and said: "We may be able to build an airplane if we work hard, but radar is completely impossible. We haven't fully understood the pulse Doppler technology yet, and it is impossible to develop a radar suitable for early warning aircraft. ."
Although the Babaoliang Research Institute has developed the first pulse Doppler airborne radar in China, the project is still under absolute confidentiality. In addition to the scientific researchers participating in the project, there are only the Equipment Department and Liaoshen Aircraft Factory. Some of the staff over there knew.
But even so, everyone with knowledge of the matter was strictly kept silent.
Therefore, even if Yang Xi is the head of the Sixth Academy of Aviation, he does not know about this.
Nie Nansun said calmly: "This is not a reason. We couldn't build cannons or tanks before, but don't we have them now?"
"The radar is different..."
Before Yang Xi could finish speaking, Nie Nansun interrupted him directly and said: "There is nothing different, and we must abandon this relatively backward design idea now, because our opponents have changed!"
"What do you mean?"
Nie Nansun was silent for a moment, and then said: "According to the top-secret information we received, the Thief Eagle has installed a new type of airborne early warning aircraft - the E-2C "Eagle Eye" early warning aircraft, which was put into service three years ago."
"The early warning aircraft is equipped with two turboprop engines, with a ceiling of 11,275 meters, an activity radius of 320 kilometers, an endurance of 4 hours and 24 minutes, and a maximum cruising speed of 602 kilometers per hour."
"And according to the information collected by our intelligence department, the Thief Eagle's early warning aircraft is equipped with an advanced pulse Doppler radar, which has the ability to look down at sea and on land, and can detect and confirm aircraft targets at a distance of More than 556 kilometers away, it can simultaneously monitor ships at sea."
After hearing Nie Nansun's words, Yang Xi and others' faces became extremely embarrassed.
If what Nie Nansun said is true, then this matter is indeed a big deal.
Based on these data, the opponent's early warning aircraft is enough to defeat their Air Police No. 1.
You must know that when they develop early warning aircraft, they mainly deal with the Thief Eagle. It’s not that we have to target him, but since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Thief Eagle has joined forces with the Bay Island many times to send aircraft to invade our airspace and once approached central China. hinterland.
Since the domestic air defense system was in its early stages at that time, there were many air defense blank areas, and it was not capable of completely blocking night flight raids by enemy fighters.
Even intercepting the invasion of enemy aircraft during the day is a very difficult task for the mainland air force, which lacks equipment, so it is thinking of developing an early warning aircraft.
For a moment, the conference room went silent!
After a while, Mr. Huang suddenly said: "Old Nie, since you have proposed the design idea, do you already have a clue?"
Nie Nansun looked at Zhou Yang, saw him nodded slightly, and then said: "I have some ideas!"
Hearing this, Yang Xi's heart moved.
He has known Nie Nansun for several years and has some understanding of his character and temper.
Nie Nansun is a relatively down-to-earth person and doesn't like sensationalism. Since he said this, he must have real ideas.
And with his relationship with the equipment department, he might have already reported it there.
Thinking of this, he immediately calmed down his anger, then calmed down and asked: "Old Nie, can you tell me if you have any secrets?"
Before Nie Nansun could speak, Huang Yaolou said directly: "Lao Yang, let's talk about this later. Let's continue the meeting now. Our test report is still waiting for us!"
Yang Xi also realized that he was too anxious. How could he talk about such an important thing on such an occasion? He immediately said: "Look at me, let's continue the meeting!"
Afterwards, everyone once again brought the topic back to the performance test of the early warning aircraft.
Regardless of whether the Air Police No. 1 will be redesigned, at least it is still the protagonist now and the focus of the Equipment Department and the Air Force. After the test, various reports must be reported to the superior department as soon as possible!
However, everyone's minds were no longer on this matter at this time. Everyone was thinking about what Nie Nansun just said.
In this way, after finally waiting until the meeting was over, Yang Xi and Huang Yaolou wanted to talk to Nie Nansun.
Nie Nansun immediately called Zhou Yang, and then walked out of the conference room with the two bosses of the "Air Police No. 1" project!
