Karl and his party, who had been inspecting Luzon for more than half a month, secretly returned to Hongsawady again.
In Mengguan Township, Kachin State.
It is the confidential production base of Qingye Airlines. The base is built on a plain 4.1 kilometers away from the town, with a large mountain as its back.
Therefore, the base is actually divided into two parts, one part is on the surface, and the other part is embedded in the mountainous area, hidden through the green umbrella system and underground facilities.
The reason for doing this is mainly for safety. After all, it is impossible to completely cover up. After all, during the production process of the base, a large amount of materials need to be brought in and out, part of which must be transported in from the outside world.
Factories can be disguised, but roads and railways cannot be built completely underground. Even taking advantage of rainy weather all day long is not a long-term solution.
If there were no factory building on the outside here, it would be easy for satellites in the sky to take pictures of so many vehicles coming in and out.
Then the other party analyzes it.
Good guy! This place is full of greenery. As long as the intelligence analysts of the major powers don't get confused, they can definitely guess that there is something wrong here.
Either they are conducting unknown experiments, or they are secret factories.
Unless it is a base with an extremely high self-sustainability rate, a reasonable vest area needs to be arranged outside to cover up the real base.
For example, at the Black Tiger Canyon nuclear base, a nature reserve and a lead-zinc mining company were used as cover.
Even with the green umbrella system and the technology to quickly excavate underground space, Homo sapiens company still has not let down its vigilance.
Even if the first hydrogen bomb imitating B43 can be produced around June this year, the Homo sapiens company still has not approved the underground nuclear test.
Because underground nuclear tests will also be noticed by the outside world.
Even if the stratum blocks the leakage of radioactive dust, the shock waves generated by the explosion will cause earthquakes, and the shock waves caused by nuclear explosion earthquakes are completely different from the shock waves of natural earthquakes.
There are now densely populated earthquake monitoring stations around the world, making it easy to locate earthquake locations and analyze anomalies in shock waves.
The Homo sapiens company has no plans to conduct underground nuclear tests until it has stockpiled hundreds of hydrogen bombs.
As for this year's strategic plan, the Homo sapiens company plans to digest the two new control areas and consolidate various foundations, and has no intention of confronting the great powers head-on.
The development of the aviation industry is one of the plans to lay a solid foundation.
…
Karl and others, who had just returned, immediately organized engineers and technicians to conduct a comprehensive transformation of the MiG-25 production line.
In the final assembly workshop.
The previously updated industrial auxiliary equipment is undergoing secondary adjustment of parameters.
Wang Haoran was a little surprised: "Chief Engineer Carl, if you adjust it to these parameters, will it not be able to support it when it is assembled?"
The reason why he asked this was because the empty weight of the MiG-25 was 15 tons, but the power of the adjusted conveyor belt only pulled about 10 tons.
"Wang, don't worry, we have improved the materials of the machine body, and the weight will be reduced to less than 10 tons by then." Karl explained with a smile.
"Improve the materials?" Wang Haoran muttered quietly, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.
You must know that the reason why the MiG-25 uses stainless steel is mainly to break through three times the speed of sound and resist frictional heat of more than 300 degrees Celsius.
Ordinary aviation aluminum alloys can only resist friction heat of more than 100 degrees Celsius.
As for the latest super heat-resistant materials, Wang Haoran does not think that the company can buy them. These materials are the specialty of major powers, and there is no place to buy them.
Karl saw Wang Haoran's expression, but did not bother to explain it, because facts speak louder than words.
When Mandalay Special Smelting Company completes the layout of the production line, it will be able to provide a steady stream of new material parts.
80% of the weight of the MiG-25 body comes from stainless steel, which is about 12 tons, and its material comprehensive density coefficient is 7.92.
After replacing the new material, its density coefficient dropped to 3.22.
In addition to other parts, new materials will also be replaced.
By then, the empty weight of the new MiG-25 will be reduced to 7.53 tons, which is about half of the previous weight.
As for the power of the engine, it has not been tested yet, but Carl knows that its power will definitely be improved to a certain extent.
The weight of the aircraft body has been reduced, the structural strength has been improved, and the power has been improved. Together with these changes, the MiG-25 will definitely be transformed.
This is the additive effect brought about by material advantages.
Even if it is an old model from decades ago, Karl is confident that it can fight against the current fighters of the great powers.
…
Mu Ziying, who also works at the base, is not involved in the transformation of the production line, but is designing engines.
To be precise, it is improving the R15B-300 turbojet engine of the MiG-25.
After inputting various parameters, the 3D model of the R15B-300 turbojet engine has been generated using the internal supercomputer built on the biochip.
Mu Ziying frowned, looked at the improved model on the screen, turned her head with some worry and asked: "Mr. Mikoyan, such improvements will cause a large number of deflagration shock waves in the combustion chamber, and the engine will explode directly."
"Mu, if you call up the material list of the auxiliary design system and find the internal materials, you will know why I have improved it like this." Alyosha Mikoyan continued to immerse himself in his improvement work.
Mu Ziying was stunned for a moment, and then called out the internal materials.
Then his eyes widened. Even with his dull personality, he was very shocked at this moment: "There is such a level of material? It's unbelievable..."
He synchronized the materials into various parts of the engine model, and then let the system automatically calculate the extreme operating parameters of the engine at this time.
He was shocked when he saw the extreme operating parameters given by the supercomputer.
“Does such material really exist?”
Alyoshami raised his head without raising his head and replied expressionlessly:
"All the materials on the list can be supplied by the company, so you don't have to worry. Now let's find ways to improve the engine! Our work is very important. The production line will be adjusted in June. By then we will have the engine zeroed out.
The drawings of the components are sent to the parts factory.”
Mu Ziying took a deep breath: "I understand."
Looking at the engine in front of him, he no longer felt that it was lagging behind, but that it would shock the world.
Calling out new materials that could be used, he studied them carefully again, and then began to replace the materials.
This is not a casual thing.
In other words, you can do it casually, but it will waste part of the performance potential of these new materials.
For example, after using new materials, the inner wall thickness of the engine combustion chamber does not need to be the previous thickness. According to Mu Ziying's careful calculation, the thickness can be reduced to 63.7% of the original, which is enough to withstand long-term deflagration shock waves.
For an aircraft, the dead weight of the body is often worth every penny.
Reducing dead weight increases the payload and range of the aircraft.
Before, Mu Ziying didn't quite understand what the company was doing by acquiring the production line of classic fighter jets like the MiG-25, but now he understood.
With the support of these new materials, the MiG-25 production line is the most cost-effective option.
After all, the cost of manufacturing advanced fighter jets currently in service in various countries is ridiculously high, let alone purchasing production lines.
Small countries simply cannot afford the advanced fighter production lines in active service of the great powers, and they are not qualified to purchase them.
