Chapter 422 Flagship of the National Defense Industry (Part 2)
A few days later, Dongchen suddenly announced with a high profile that Dongchen's first Dongchen "Falcon" engine designed and produced specifically for the national defense industry was officially rolled off the production line. Just the data of 20 tons of afterburner thrust made the world
It is surprising to know that the Pratt & Whitney F119, known as the best fighter engine in the world, has only reached a single thrust of 16 tons after several improvements, while Dongchen's "Falcon" engine
It turns out that a single engine is 4 tons higher than the F119.
This is just a superficial figure. The most important thing is that the "Falcon" engine has a more powerful thrust-to-weight ratio and is lighter than the F119. Moreover, its low fuel consumption performance has set a record in the field of military engines. If China
If the latest main fighter J-20 is equipped with a "Falcon" engine, it will immediately become the most maneuverable heavy fighter in the world, with the fastest speed and the largest combat radius.
Although Dongchen only announced this news and data, the whole world has not seen the actual form of the "Falcon" engine, and not even a spy photo has been released. However, according to Dongchen's consistent routine before, the whole world has not seen the actual form of the "Falcon" engine.
I have no doubt about the news announced by Dongchen. If Dongchen says it is, then it must be true. There is no need for any doubt.
Pratt & Whitney was deeply hit by this. They have just joined forces with General Motors to launch the largest and most investment military engine research and development project in history. They are trying to create an epoch-making engine based on the F119. However, the road to research and development is long.
Just from the beginning, Dongchen has already come up with an engine that is much more powerful than their research and development goals.
However, for the United States now, even if Dongchen develops such a powerful fighter engine, the White House is unwilling to publicly express its position on it. In the past, the White House would have exaggerated the China threat theory. However, the current United States and
Dongchen is in its honeymoon period. Millions of people in the United States directly or indirectly work for Dongchen or rely on Dongchen for survival. Most of the civil aviation aircraft in the United States have replaced Dongchen engines. Most of the automobile production capacity in the United States
They are all serving Dongchen. In this case, it is even more necessary to learn from the experience and lessons of the Japanese. Dongchen is offended. Perhaps the U.S. government will also face an unemployment problem that is enough to give them a headache.
The White House only held a closed meeting for this purpose. The meeting was personally chaired by President Obama. The attendees were all well-connected, including the U.S. Secretary of Defense, the commanders of the three major U.S. air forces, and the heads of Pratt & Whitney and General Motors.
The heads of companies such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, and even Raymond, who is in charge of civilian airliners, attended this meeting.
Obama had already expected Dongchen to get involved in the defense industry, so Dongchen's launch of the "Falcon" engine was not a surprise to him. But the most critical issue is that even if Obama and the U.S. Air Force
All the leaders, including companies such as Pratt & Whitney and General Motors, did not expect that Dongchen would come up with such a powerful "Falcon" engine at once. If this engine is judged according to the standards announced by Dongchen, it will simply surpass the existing ones.
Twenty years of military engines have been left behind, especially the frightening thrust. The thrust under normal conditions is already equivalent to the maximum thrust of the F119 under afterburner.
Obama said with a worried look: "Experts and consultants in the aviation field, what kind of improvement do you think the maneuverability of China's J-20 will have after it is equipped with this "Falcon" engine?"
Lockheed Martin's chief designer Cooper said: "If the data released by Dongchen is correct, then the maximum thrust of the J-20 is about 40 tons, and its normal air combat mass is only 25 tons, that is, under normal circumstances
The thrust-to-weight ratio can reach up to 1.6. With such a powerful power, if it meets the F-22, the F-22 will be a slow old man, while the J-20 will be a dexterous and powerful athlete."
Then, Cooper said: "If China improves the J-20 based on the performance of the "Falcon" engine, I am afraid they will allow the J-20 to carry a higher combat load, or use it to carry higher power, and the size will be the same.
With a phased array radar that is heavier and has stronger performance, the air combat weight can easily rise from 25 tons to about 32 tons. Even if it reaches 32 tons, its maneuverability will not be lost, and it is still better than the F-22.
It is much more powerful, or the Chinese side can divide the J-20 into more detailed models based on the performance of the engine, and partially increase the combat load to improve the destruction capability. In this case, the fighter jet can basically cope with most bombing needs.
, the fuel tank volume can also be increased to further increase the combat radius of the aircraft. The fuel consumption is reduced by 25, and the fuel carrying capacity is increased by 10 tons, which can basically cover the entire territory of Japan. Avionics equipment can also be added to improve the overall advancement of the fighter aircraft.
If China uses this to develop the above three subdivided models, then China will definitely have air control capabilities in almost all of Asia."
Obama sighed helplessly and said: "If this is the case, the situation of Japan and India will be even more difficult, which will have a great impact on our layout in Asia."
"Yes." Cooper nodded and said: "It's like fighting an opponent with three heads and six arms. You can only hold two weapons, but he can hold five or six weapons and wear a suit of armor to fight you. It can be said that China
From the moment the plane took off, its chances of winning were increased out of thin air."
The Secretary of Defense said: "Although the "Falcon" engine is unlikely to have a direct impact on our mainland United States, it will indeed have a huge blow to our Asian layout. If Dongchen supplies "Falcon" engines to China in large quantities,
engine, then we have lost air supremacy in East Asia. The current cost of the F-22 is much higher than that of the J-20. After being equipped with the "Falcon" engine, the combat effectiveness of the J-20 should be the same as that of the J-20 after appropriate adjustments.
The F-22 is infinitely closer, so that the battle loss ratio can be almost equal. In that case, once the situation in Asia changes, our F-22 will hardly play a substantive role in Asia."
"There is no way to do this." Obama said: "Firstly, we can't stop Dongchen, and secondly, we can't stop China. Therefore, we now have to discuss a more practical issue, that is, when China's J-20
After assembling the Falcon engine, how should we deal with it in secret?"
"Response?" the Minister of Defense said: "I think even if the J-20 is equipped with a "Falcon" engine, it will still be a very long time for the Chinese side to truly understand the performance of this engine and make correct adjustments to the J-20.
Process, besides, the current production speed of the J-20 is relatively slow, and it will take several years to truly become a threat. In the past few years, we should reorganize the layout from a large level, for example, how to avoid angering the Chinese government.
Deploy more anti-aircraft missiles around China, especially Japan and India."
Obama thought for a while and said: "I think Russia must be considering the same issue as us now. We are considering Japan and India, but Russia is considering India and Vietnam. If they are willing to use the most advanced S500
Selling anti-aircraft missiles to India and Vietnam will greatly promote the air defense capabilities of these two countries. In addition, we must also find ways to deploy Patriot 4 in Japan and India."
The Minister of Defense shook his head and said: "Russia will not export the S500 to other countries because of the Falcon engine. Russia has always been conservative and will only export its previous generation products and will never export the latest model."
Its products are sold to other countries, and Russia’s missile technology is ahead of the United States in two areas. One is the Topol M improved intercontinental missile, and the other is the S500. Of these two missiles, one is the best intercontinental missile in the world.
Missiles, one is the best anti-aircraft missile in the world. The Russians will never use it for export. Moreover, Russia is also worried that the S500 sold for export will fall into our hands. After all, our Patriot 4 is indeed inferior to
S500.”
Obama said: "I can communicate with Lisboa to see what he means. If possible, we can still cooperate on this issue. The two sides will work together to bring Japan, India, South Korea,
The air defense capabilities of Vietnam and other countries surrounding China have been upgraded to cope with the huge improvement that the "Falcon" engine will bring to the Chinese Air Force."
Raymond had been silent, but at this time he intervened and said: "Your Excellency, what you just discussed were the threats that the Chinese Air Force will bring, but you did not consider the threats that Dongchen will bring. I fought with Zhang Wenhao
I have interacted with Zhang Wenhao many times, and I am probably the foreigner who has the closest contact with Zhang Wenhao. I know his character very well. Once the United States and Russia try to interfere with the situation in Asia, Dongchen will definitely take action, and Dongchen’s strike capabilities in peacetime are
, far surpassing the Chinese ** team.”
"Yes." Obama's financial adviser nodded and said: "In peacetime, no one can compare with Dongchen's strike capability, and Dongchen's economic blow is unilateral. Anyone in front of him can only
There is no chance to hit him. Just look at Japan's previous situation and how much they rely on Dongchen now. All our airlines use Dongchen's engines, and more than 80% of our companies now
Individuals are using Dongchen Universal and Longchen systems. If Dongchen stops supplying spare parts to our airlines, then our civil aviation industry will begin to regress rapidly. If Dongchen locks down Universal in the United States, then we will almost
Data processing across the country will be shut down, and Intel, Microsoft, and Apple have become a thing of the past. Under this situation, once Dongchen locks down Universal in the United States, our entire society will be plunged into a quagmire."
"Not to mention other products of Dongchen Automobile and Dongchen Electronics. The purpose of their existence is to defeat all opponents. Without Dongchen products, there will be almost no products available in these fields."
Obama sighed deeply and said: "I really don't understand how a company can achieve such a strong scale. If Dongchen really adds millions of unemployed people to the United States, I'm afraid this White House will
People will be driven out collectively, and when the time comes, the people will only choose a pro-China government to turn the tide. In the face of food and national hegemony, the former will always be the most important thing for Americans."
With that said, Obama added: "Don't forget, the American people have always disliked overseas wars. Think about the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the Iraq War. Each overseas war has set off extremely large-scale domestic wars.
Large anti-war demonstrations, if a large number of Americans lose their jobs due to our hostile actions against China, and the life and work of every American are greatly affected, the people will definitely eat us alive."
The financial advisor said: "I think not only us, but also countries such as Japan, India, and South Korea are worried, but they are not worried about China's advanced fighter jets, but about the domestic economic situation. Zhang Wenhao's usual approach
He is still a gentleman. If he were someone like Soros, he would have used the cash in his hands to be comparable to a country's foreign exchange reserves to launch an unprecedented financial crisis in East Asia. By that time, let alone we want to sell to these
I am afraid that the national weapons will be given to them in vain, and their government will not be able to maintain them."
Obama couldn't help but ask: "How much cash flow does Dongchen have on hand now?"
"At least hundreds of billions of dollars." The financial consultant explained: "Each of their industries generates huge profits all the time, and Dongchen has a strong influence in China. If Dongchen comes forward, I'm afraid he will
The hot money that can be gathered from China's domestic financial market is at least hundreds of billions of dollars. In my estimation, Dongchen can spend more than a trillion dollars in cash at any time to launch a financial offensive against any country. If Japan is now
The impact of such a huge amount of capital may not be able to recover in twenty years."
Obama was silent for a while, his brows furrowed, and after a while, he said: "Let's end the discussion today, and wait to see Dongchen's next move."
Just six days after Dongchen announced the news of the "Falcon" engine, spy photos taken by reporters from a distance appeared on the Chinese Internet. The J-20 began a test flight at an airport in southwest China. Moreover, from the photos, it can be clearly seen that
, under the two engines of the aircraft, a large word "Falcon" is written in red Chinese, which also means that the prototype of the "Falcon" engine has been delivered to the Chinese Air Force and has begun test flights.
On the day of the test flight, Zhang Wenhao was at the scene.
The J-20 equipped with two "Falcon" engines took off with a maximum payload of 35 tons. After taking off easily, the aircraft turned on the afterburner afterburner at an altitude of 500 meters in the air. The pilot suddenly pulled the control stick, causing the plane to tilt upward.
The climbing aircraft suddenly became a 90-degree vertical climb!
Vertical climb can only occur under one condition, that is, the total thrust of the aircraft is greater than the total weight of the aircraft! Otherwise, once the aircraft enters the vertical state, it will inevitably stall due to insufficient thrust, which is like a person's
His arm strength is enough to support him climbing a vertical rope with both hands.
Even when climbing vertically, the aircraft does not follow the rules. Instead, it keeps rolling and changing lines in the air. The aircraft can even suddenly pull up its nose while accelerating into a dive and start climbing vertically again in an instant. This means that the remaining thrust of the aircraft
, enough to cope with the acceleration inertia generated when the aircraft dives.
If an aircraft reaches this level, its maneuverability has basically reached its extreme.
During this test flight, a big shot from the military also came to the scene. After seeing the aircraft's maneuverability display, he almost burst into tears. He strode towards Zhang Wenhao, held Zhang Wenhao's hand tightly, and said: "Dongchen has made China complete.
The dream of the Air Force for decades, our weakest link, turned into the strongest link overnight. If it weren't for Dongchen, I really don't know if I would have had the chance to see this day come before I was buried. Thank you,
Thank you!”
Zhang Wenhao bowed slightly respectfully and said: "It is also a great honor for Dongchen to contribute to national defense construction."
There is no falsehood in this statement. Zhang Wenhao has always wanted to be a complete businessman. Whether it is politics or military affairs, he does not want to get involved too deeply. However, the "Falcon" engine is Dongchen's first to the world.
It is a product announced in a high-profile manner, and the joy that this engine has brought to the entire Chinese people is beyond description in words. This feeling is impossible to imagine before you have experienced it.
The emergence of the "Falcon" engine not only enhances the deterrence of the Chinese Air Force, but also further enhances Dongchen's influence around the world. Whether it is Pratt & Whitney or Lockheed Martin, they were once the supreme favorites among military fans.
exists, but today, Dongchen has completely knocked Pratt & Whitney off the altar. From then on, whether it is civilian or military aviation engines, Dongchen has become the dominant company in an absolute sense. Once Dongchen takes over in the future, it will be difficult to continue.
With Airbus, Dongchen will become the absolute leader in the world's aviation field. The lifeblood of Boeing is in Zhang Wenhao's hands. If he is willing, he can completely collapse Boeing overnight. If he is willing, he can also take over.
Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Company even built its own production line, knocking Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other military aircraft manufacturing companies off the altar.
If Dongchen's three-dimensional satellite navigation system is successfully established, then the trinity of the Chinese army will be more closely integrated. Perhaps every aircraft, every tank, and missile launcher can be clearly seen in front of a huge screen.
, the location, altitude of each ship, and the real-time status of the entire military's mobile equipment can be grasped at any time. In this way, the country's combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
Zhang Wenhao also believes that if development continues at this rate, Dongchen will one day become the flagship enterprise of the world's defense industry. By then, he will be able to retire without any regrets. (To be continued. If you like this work
