Chapter 469: Getting deeper and deeper step by step
Qin Tao accompanied the three of them to a meal and a meal. Although they argued endlessly during the day, when it was time to eat in the evening, the tit-for-tat momentum was gone.
After eating and drinking, Qin Tao sent them back to the hotel and then went home. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. He gently opened the door and saw his father-in-law sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
Qin Tao was a little helpless. It seemed that he couldn't go to bed early tonight. His father-in-law must have a talk with him at Bingzhuye!
"Taozi, are you back? You did a good job today!" Sure enough, Wu Shengli spoke.
"Dad, don't wake up Haiyang." Qin Tao said, "Let's go to the study to talk."
The study was far away from the bedroom and the sound insulation was good. Wu Shengli nodded and went to the study with Qin Tao.
"What are you going to do next?"
"It depends on what the Navy will do. If the Navy continues to dilly-dally, it will be meaningless for them to stay here. They will eventually have to leave. My project can last only a week, or at most half a month."
"Of course the Navy is anxious, but this also depends on the progress of the 601 side. If they don't get the aircraft out, how can we continue to the next step?"
Qin Tao frowned: "Yes, the progress at the 601 Institute cannot be accelerated, and we have to wait for a few years. However, we can't delay it anymore. Now that these people are here, we can't let them go. I think,
Let’s first establish a ground simulation base. As for carrier-based aircraft, we might as well use our J-31A model and continue to talk about it on paper, so as to confuse the outside world.”
It will take a long time to transform the Dongfanghai Ducheng. During this period, the Navy must make all kinds of preparations. It must have a land base and train carrier-based aircraft pilots. However, these must
Proceed synchronously.
What are they going to do next?
Qin Tao made a suggestion. Let's continue talking on paper. However, we don't use the 601's products, we use the J-31A!
Why is it arranged like this? Of course, it is to confuse the outside world. If a J-15 model with the same appearance as the Su-33 is dragged to the simulation base, then the outside world will guess whether Dongfang is fighting that Dongfanghai.
The idea of blocking the city?
Now that it has been changed to the J-31A, they will know that this high-end stealth machine is not mature after ten or twenty years of research and development, and they can even laugh at the jokes of those investors.
Therefore, using this kind of aircraft to make models will make people look down upon them, thinking that Dongfang is just looking at the plum blossoms to quench its thirst.
"Okay, it's up to you, let's make arrangements." Wu Shengli said: "If we don't build a system similar to Nitka, we will just draw a deck plan on the runway of the base, install a jump runway at most, and build a ship.
Bridge building, it shouldn’t cost much.”
It doesn't cost much to just imitate. If you want to completely simulate the shaking of the sea, the entire deck must be able to move, which is expensive.
"We should be able to use a scrapped base directly." Qin Tao said: "This saves money, does not delay the aviation operations, and can confuse the outside world."
Wu Shengli nodded: "Currently, our navy has just eliminated a wasteland village base, which is available for you to play with."
"What? Wasteland Village?" Qin Tao was very surprised.
"That's right, this base used to fly J-6s. Now that the J-6s have been retired, this base is also abandoned. Our navy's aviation base will gradually be streamlined in the future."
In the past, in the era of J-6 and J-7, the combat radius of fighter jets was too short. The method adopted in China was to build more bases, one every few hundred kilometers, so that a dense air defense line could be formed.
However, these old fighters are constantly being eliminated. The J-8 or the imported Su-27 series have long ranges, so the number of aviation bases does not need to be so many.
Bases are constantly being cut, and Wasteland Village is one of them.
(No specific information was found. It was used as a naval training base in 2008. What was it before? The Hero of East China assumed it was a J-6 base.)
"Young man, it won't be too far away, right? No, you don't know where this base is. It can't be near a big city, so it can be easily detected, so it has to be in a remote place. Let's just change it. As for how to get those people
It's your ability to fool people."
Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, let's use this base for research first." Qin Tao said: "You have to allocate sufficient manpower there and let them start practicing deck operations from now on."
Deck operations on an aircraft carrier are very dangerous. If you do not train on the ground in advance and operate directly on the ship, problems can easily occur.
Wu Shengli nodded.
Qin Tao was surprised that Wu Shengli did not ask anything, but only communicated for a while, which was considered over. It seemed that Wu Shengli must have been watching the sword discussion in Huashan during the day.
After a night's rest, the debate continued the next day.
"We have used catapults to great advantage. They can not only eject fighter jets, but also attack aircraft, especially carrier-based early warning aircraft. Only with carrier-based early warning aircraft can we guard against sneak attacks!" After going back yesterday, it was obvious that
Delano and Stroh also discussed and decided to continue to use overwhelming advantages to defeat each other.
"Early warning aircraft? Your E-2 Hawkeye early warning aircraft is just carrying a radar into the sky and does not have a lot of data processing capabilities. It is better for us to use a four-sided phased array radar on the aircraft carrier. Coupled with the early warning helicopter, it is enough to protect the aircraft.
The whole sea is now empty."
The E-2 early warning aircraft is small in size, so it certainly cannot install a large amount of equipment, which means it does not have a large amount of data processing capabilities, and must be transmitted back to the mothership through a data link.
"Of course it depends on the different batches." Delano said: "The previous models did not have very high processing power, but the latest improved model, which is the Hawkeye 2000, can complete the task of changing the entire territory.
Computers, display control workstations, as well as the AN/USG-3 airborne terminal equipment in the CEC joint engagement capability, new integrated satellite communication systems, electronic support equipment, etc., already have powerful data processing capabilities and are no longer limited to
The original early warning and command and control functions have now reached the level of joint combat command and control, which is enough to command on-site the entire aircraft carrier's launch of carrier-based aircraft."
Delano spoke eloquently, and Stroh on the side finally frowned, something didn't seem right! If he continued to talk like this, wouldn't he be leaking the secret?
However, before he could refute, Shepkov began to provoke.
"Bragging, how is this possible?" Shepkov shook his head: "Our An-50 early warning aircraft can only command a dozen fighter jets in combat. How can your compact E-2 early warning aircraft achieve the goal of commanding seventy or eighty fighter jets?
"
"Of course it's because our computers have advanced performance! This brand-new mission computer has a computing power of five million times per second." Of course, Delano would not be looked down upon by the other party, and immediately introduced the computer's performance.
Got up.
"At the same time, we also use quite advanced data links. Our fighters can even move forward by receiving intelligence from early warning aircraft without turning on their radars."
After hearing Delano's words, Shepkov shook his head: "I don't believe it."
If you don’t believe it, then keep talking until you believe it!
Stroh's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Just when he wanted to stop Delano from continuing, Qin Tao spoke from the side: "I also think many of the statements in it are a bit exaggerated! Stroh, you
Is this friend of mine bragging?"
Qin Tao is acting as a referee. Now, even Qin Tao thinks it is bragging?
"Of course I'm not bragging!" Stroh became anxious and began to explain to Qin Tao.
When he was halfway through speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Why did he say all these things?
Now that I have said that, there will be no psychological barriers to breaking the jar next time.
On the third day, the discussion began to expand to the entire aircraft carrier formation.
"In our navy, the aircraft carrier battle group is the most important strike force. It generally has an aircraft carrier as the core and consists of 1 aircraft carrier, 1 guided missile cruiser, 3 to 4 guided missile destroyers, 1 to 3 nuclear submarines and 1 to 2
It consists of a supply ship. The composition of the formation is very particular. You, Da Mao, simply cannot gather enough air defense force."
Shepkov's rebuttal came immediately: "We have Type 956 and Type 1155 anti-submarine ships, as well as larger nuclear-powered cruisers. Why can't we gather the air defense force?"
The debate started again, the application of the entire aircraft carrier formation, operational thinking, etc. Compared with the debate of the previous two days, today's debate has risen to the strategic level, and the strike capability of the entire aircraft carrier formation has been discussed.
The people below listened very carefully.
The aircraft carrier formation is the most powerful armed force at sea. After we have an aircraft carrier, we must also conduct theoretical research. What we heard today are the theoretical basis for future research!
Five days later.
"We have been debating for five days, and no one has convinced anyone. We have to take a rest this weekend." Qin Tao looked at the three people: "What are your plans? Where do you want to visit?"
"Qin, you promised me to see the Su-27!" Delano said.
Xu Zhengyang looked at Qin Tao with meaningful eyes, "Humph, I agreed quickly at first, now it depends on how you answer."
"I definitely want to see the Su-27. I have submitted an application. You should also know that this kind of aircraft is currently the most advanced in our country. Therefore, the procedures for visiting this kind of aircraft are also very cumbersome. You have to go
The process is estimated to take a long time. If you want to go, I can take you to see other aircraft, such as the J-31A. Have you heard of it? This is the world's first vertical take-off and landing stealth aircraft.
!”
J-31A? After hearing Qin Tao's words, Delano immediately became excited: "Okay, let's look at this kind of aircraft. How advanced is this aircraft?"
"The prototype has been released. How about taking you to see the all-metal prototype?"
In fact, with the development of computer-aided design, it is no longer necessary to develop any kind of aircraft. However, the J-31A is an international cooperation project. In order to fool those customers into investing money, a prototype is necessary.
The wooden prototype can only show the appearance of the aircraft, but the metal prototype can also show the internal details, especially the cockpit, which can fool people even more.
"Okay! Let's go now!"
"Let's go, take our group's plane there." Qin Tao was also unambiguous.
These people were tricked by Qin Tao, and of course all their expenses must be reimbursed by the navy, including the cost of using the aircraft.
In the afternoon of that day, a group of people arrived at the J-31A project office in the Land of Abundance.
During this period of time, Qin Tao has been busy tinkering with warships, first the aircraft carrier, and then the cruiser, so he has not come over yet. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a year.
Zhao Dangsheng ran out quickly: "Mr. Qin, welcome."
As he continues to engage in activities, Zhao Dangsheng has also matured. Not only is he technically proficient, but his social skills are also first-rate, and he is a compound talent.
"Who is this?" Stroh was curious.
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Stroh, and this is Mr. Delano, you two. The person in front of you is Mr. Zhao, the designer of the J-31A." Qin Tao introduced.
Shepkov did not follow. As the pilot of the Yak-38, Shepkov was already an old acquaintance here. There was no need to bother here. He had to go back and continue to study and see how to encourage these people to leak more secrets.
Designer?
Stroh came up to shake hands enthusiastically, and Delano became arrogant again: "What advanced aircraft can you design? Moreover, I heard that your aircraft is still a single engine. This kind of aircraft is not suitable for operation on an aircraft carrier."
What the Navy needs is a twin-engine fighter."
This guy's problem has happened again!
Zhao Dangsheng smiled: "Different aircraft have different combat needs. Your Tomcat fighter jet is very powerful. Can it be mounted on an amphibious assault ship? Your Marine Corps still uses the British Sea Harrier?"
"Don't compare the Navy and the Marine Corps." Delano shook his head repeatedly: "They are not qualified to compare with us."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just like the old man who had to set up a separate Homeland Defense Force in addition to the Air Force, the U.S. Navy is also very strange. The Navy and Marine Corps are separate.
Navy pilots are very proud. They don't even look down on the Air Force, and certainly not the Marine Corps. Such a comparison is simply insulting to them.
Can the Sea Harrier be considered a fighter jet? It’s just a toy!
"Our aircraft are not compared with the Tomcat. However, in terms of generation difference, our aircraft still have advantages. After all, the future era will be dominated by stealth aircraft."
Delano wanted to say something else, but his eyes widened.
They had arrived at the place where the metal prototype was parked. When he saw the prototype, Delano immediately opened his eyes.
"This appearance is too special!" Delano said: "The diamond-shaped nose, the parallelogram air inlet, and the bulge. The overall design is so perfect. It looks much better than the F-117! It is simply invisible.
What a perfect combination with maneuverability!”
Delano had heard of the J-31A, but he only heard about it while drinking in a bar and had never seen photos. Now, the real thing was in front of him. It was so impactful that he was very surprised.
"It seems that you also know the goods." Qin Tao said.
"Of course, during the 1991 war, we also flew with Air Force aircraft. However, that thing existed entirely for stealth and its maneuverability was very poor. To be honest, I doubted whether it could fly.
Get up, hey, how come this hatch cover flips forward?"
"Because there is a lift fan behind it, it can only flip forward." Zhao Dangsheng explained.
"So, can I go up and have a look?"
"sure."
After receiving the permission, Delano immediately walked up the gangway onto the plane. When he leaned forward and looked into the cockpit, he was stunned.
There is no mechanical instrument inside, only a large horizontal display screen!
I think back then, the Tomcat fighter jet Delano flew was mainly based on mechanical instruments. There was only a green HSD display in the middle, which was a cathode ray tube product. But now the most advanced fighter cockpit is just a
One flat and three downwards, one head-up display and three downward-looking displays. Although the displays look like rectangular screens, they are actually mostly cathode ray tubes.
Unexpectedly, the cockpit has evolved into a large long screen! This thing cannot be a cathode ray tube, it can only be an LCD screen!
In the 1980s, LCD monitors had already been developed, and notebook computers had to use this kind of monitor. After entering the 1990s, LCD monitors became more and more advanced, but due to problems such as the display effect under strong light, they were not used in
On the display of the fighter jet, the aircraft in front of me actually dared to use it like this?
Isn’t this incredible?
However, I have to say that placing this entire long strip-shaped LCD monitor in the cockpit immediately makes the cockpit look taller and even has a sense of science fiction. If you use this fighter plane to shoot science fiction movies,
It should be fine.
"It's all a monitor, and there are only a few buttons. How do you operate it?" Soon, Delano thought of a big problem.
"This screen is touch-sensitive, and you can input commands by touching it. Of course, in the fierce air battle, no one may care about operating the screen. We also specially added voice control."
The touch screen sounds fancy. In fact, capacitive touch screens appeared in the 1960s, and in 1993, resistive touch screens became practical.
At that time, IBM and Bell Southern jointly developed the Simon communication device, which could turn pages, send and receive e-mails, have a calendar, appointment planning, phone book, calculator, and pen-based drawing board. It can be said to be the prototype of a modern smartphone.
In the same year, Apple launched the Newton PDA, a personal digital assistant, also with a touch screen.
However, those are too small, and they are simply not comparable to the aircraft touch screens in front of us.
Just a touch screen is enough to surprise Delano. Now I didn't expect that there is actually voice interactive input command? Isn't this too advanced?
In fact, voice input is not considered advanced. After all, the Typhoon fighter jet jointly developed by Europe and produced in 1992 has voice interaction capabilities and can give instructions to the aircraft.
However, this method is not common, and it will not be experienced by Tomcat fighter pilots. Looking at the cockpit of the aircraft in front of him, Delano feels like being abandoned by the times. Has he become so advanced?
Of course, these are samples displayed for customers to see. In fact, the development of these related systems has not yet been completed.
For an aircraft, the display system is secondary. During the first flight, it may even be full of flight instruments. After all, the first flight mainly tests the engine and flight control. The aircraft
As for the overall design, these are all subsystems and can be developed slowly in the future. Anyway, it will take at least ten years for this aircraft to reach service status. The development of electronic systems is changing rapidly.
But if you use it to bluff people, it's definitely awesome.
This is not the first time that Zhao Dangsheng has received people. Customers will be very shocked when they see this kind of display, and the proud Delano is no exception at this time.
When they first came into contact, Delano was still proudly declaring how awesome his airplane was, but now, he no longer has that idea.
In terms of generations, his Tomcat fighter jet is considered the third generation, while the aircraft in front of him is the fourth generation! There is a generation difference, so the gap is naturally huge.
"This is indeed an aircraft that transcends the times. I really want to experience the feeling of flying it." Delano said with emotion.
"This is not possible yet. We are still in the development stage of the prototype." Zhao Dangsheng said: "However, if you are interested, you can go to the simulator to experience it after our flight control program is completed."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay!" Delano nodded.
While Delano was looking at the cockpit, Stroh was also walking around the aircraft. He looked at the wings, which could be folded in, and then looked at the tail, where there was an obvious landing hook.
Qin Tao accompanied Stroh.
"Isn't this plane taking off and landing vertically? Why does it still have a landing hook?"
“We have three types of aircraft, including land-based type, carrier-based type and vertical take-off and landing type. When designing, we take versatility as the first consideration, so our vertical take-off and landing type,
A landing hook is also reserved.”
Hearing Qin Tao's words, Stroh nodded: "One aircraft and three models is an idea. I thought of the Phantom we used to fly. At that time, the Air Force also had to use our aircraft, so they had to keep the same landing hook."
In front of the metal prototype, everyone visited for more than an hour. Looking at the built-in bomb bay and the vertical take-off and landing lift fans, Delano felt that his eyes were widened.
After the tour, I went to see the PPT introduction. After coming out, Delano no longer had the original pride.
"Our Navy is also studying and believes that the future is the era of stealth aircraft. However, the Navy's stealth aircraft project has been iterating and we don't know when it will be finalized." Delano said with emotion.
"If you are interested in these aircraft, we can find a place to simulate them." Qin Tao said, "Although you can't fly, you can still have fun, how about it?"
"Simulate it?"
"That's right, simulate the aircraft carrier deck. Let's find some more people to help with the demonstration. This way we can further defeat Lao Maozi."
Delano opened his eyes wide: "Is there such a good opportunity? Of course!"
Stroh smiled bitterly: "Mr. Qin, I always feel that I have been deceived by you."
