In this way, Demchenko was grateful to Qin Tao for his timely help, and had to work for Dongfang to repay his debt. When Tao Fei and others left, Demchenko also followed, and he joined the 320 Factory , launched a higher education machine project.
As for Qin Tao, he put an end to other thoughts and returned to the east with everyone, sending Demchenko to Factory 320, where he was regarded as a courtesy corporal.
However, when he saw the progress of Shi Lao and others, his eyes lit up.
"Old Shi, are you progressing too fast?" Qin Tao couldn't believe that he just went to the Yakovlev Design Bureau, and after returning, the surveying, mapping and imitation work had already yielded results!
On the production line, an aircraft exactly like the T-45 has begun final assembly!
"We didn't expect it to be so fast." Shi Lao said: "After we got the T-45 trainer aircraft, we immediately dismantled it, and then we found that the overall structure of the aircraft was very similar to ours. .We are dismantling it and making copies at the same time. When the disassembly is completed, the aircraft will be assembled."
Over the years, China has been engaged in copycats and has rich experience. This time, the two aircraft are close, so the progress of imitation is faster.
"Of course, in order to better grasp the quality of the aircraft, after the first aircraft is assembled, we will conduct a static test of the entire aircraft to determine whether its strength meets the requirements of a carrier-based aircraft, so that there is no need to install an engine. Well, just test the body." Shi Lao continued.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, quality must be ensured. By the time the second aircraft is assembled, the engine will probably be available. It looks like this aircraft will be able to fly by the end of this year."
"Hmm." Mr. Shi said, thinking of something: "Mr. Qin, when we were dismantling that prototype, we also dismantled some special equipment."
Special equipment?
Qin Tao followed Shi Lao forward with some curiosity. Next to the dismantled prototype, he found a special box with link written on the outside.
16.
When he saw this, Qin Tao immediately felt his heart pounding. This was definitely an unexpected gain. For just this box, 10 million US dollars was well spent!
This is a high-end military data link!
In the 1950s, the United States led a group of juniors to establish a "tactical digital information link" (tadil), or data link for short.
By definition, a data link is a tactical information system that transmits formatted digital information in real time according to prescribed message formats and communication protocols. If you only listen to this definition, you cannot understand its power. If you look at its application scenarios, It's time to realize how powerful it is.
The intelligence discovered by the early warning aircraft needs to be transmitted to the ground or other aircraft through data links. Each aircraft can also know the location of other companions around them through the data link, so that they can become a whole.
In several recent local wars, data links have played an important role.
This link data link is the most important data link. This name is common to NATO. Initially, it was link4.
Data link, this is an unclassified data link developed in the late 1950s. It is mainly used for the navy's command and guidance of carrier-based aircraft. After several improvements, different suffixes such as a, b, c, etc. were added later.
In the 1970s, the link11 data link was developed and became the most important data link for the navy. However, it was still not enough for their use. In the 1980s, the link16 data link was developed. Its characteristic is that it is from a single military branch.
It has been extended to be common to all three armies. As a tactical data link with spread spectrum, frequency hopping and anti-jamming capabilities, it has communication, navigation and identification of friend or foe capabilities, and can provide important joint interoperability and situational awareness information.
In the Yakovlev Design Bureau, hackers used the simplest and primitive direct manual wiring method. For wired networks, this can only be done, but for link16 data links, it is not necessary.
Things send information by radio, so as long as you have relevant equipment and are within the working distance of the radio, you can invade the enemy's data link system!
What a huge progress this is! It is no less than when the Americans got the German Jenny cipher machine during World War II!
In the 1970s, Lao Maozi's pilot Belenko defected in a MiG-25, which led to the leakage of data on this top-secret fighter. It also led to the exposure of the identification friend or foe and other devices on the aircraft, and Lao Maozi had to spend huge sums of money.
, this system was replaced.
So, if the United States knows that it has obtained this kind of link16 data link terminal, does it mean that a large number of their equipment will be replaced?
This is not necessarily true.
Because this data link has frequency hopping capabilities.
Frequency hopping is a very advanced technology. It was originally used to prevent interference. For example, the e-2 early warning aircraft uses the meter wave band, which often interferes with ground television signals. Therefore, the radar has frequency hopping capabilities.
After one turn, it jumps to a new frequency band according to the strength of the interference.
For early warning aircraft, you can just jump by yourself and it has nothing to do with others. However, this kind of data link is different.
The data link must not only have a sender, but also a receiver. Moreover, the receiver and the sender are not together, so if they jump, they must jump together. Otherwise, the receiving end and the transmitting end are not synchronized, then
The communication function cannot be realized.
Therefore, frequency hopping radio stations, data links, etc., must be synchronized and jump at the same time according to the same rules. This data packet uses one frequency band, and the next data packet jumps to a new frequency band. In this way
, even if it is discovered by others, it is impossible to decipher the content.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So, is the terminal in front of you useless?
Of course not.
There are more than ten million terminals in the link16 data link. If you want to modify the new frequency hopping rules, it will be very troublesome, so unless it is in a state of war or there is a leak.
At present, the other party has not discovered that the aircraft has arrived in its own hands, and thinks it has sunk to the bottom of the sea. Therefore, it will not modify it, and it is estimated that it may continue for several years.
So, in these years, we can still gain a lot!
"I'm curious, how can this kind of training aircraft have a data link?" Qin Tao asked with great interest. For him, this was the most confusing thing.
According to the general idea, data links are used on fighter jets to exchange data with early warning aircraft. Now, a data link actually appears on a training aircraft. What's going on?
"We are not very sure. After all, although this thing has been dismantled, it has been soaked in water, so we did not dare to turn on the power to test it. We have notified the relevant departments and we don't know when they will come to receive it."
Whether it is building fighter jets or training aircraft, it is just a final assembly plant. All parts are made by relevant units, and the avionics system has to be made by brother units. Therefore, they dismantle such parts and put them aside.
, waiting for relevant technical personnel to check.
Qin Tao nodded: "Then which unit is the most famous for our domestic avionics system?"
"Luojing Optoelectronic Equipment Research Institute." Shi Lao said: "This research institute is the most famous research institute in our aviation industry. Currently they are undertaking the task of producing domestic J-11 flight helmet sights."
This optoelectronic institute was officially established on May 10, 1970 in Luojing, a famous historical and cultural city and the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. It is affiliated to the Aviation Industry Group Co., Ltd. and is the only professional fire control system and optoelectronic system in China with fire control technology as its core.
The research institute is among the most famous in avionics systems.
Qin Tao nodded and was about to say something just now when someone came over to report: "The people from Luo Jing are here!"
"Okay, take this data link terminal and see if they have the strength to continue." Qin Tao said.
After all, this plane is a secret and cannot be accessed by outsiders, so they cannot be allowed to come to the scene.
In the guest house of Factory 320, Zhao Guangdou, a senior engineer at Luojing Optoelectronic Equipment Research Institute, was sitting there a little bored. He finished a cup of tea before he saw anyone coming outside.
"Old Shi, are you planning to do something fancy and build a glass cockpit?" After seeing Old Shi, he immediately started teasing: "You are just a training aircraft, do you need to install such a thing?
"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the person next to Shi Lao curiously: "Who is this?"
"This is President Qin of Mingzhou Group."
Mingzhou Group, Mr. Qin?
Zhao Guangdou stood up immediately: "Mr. Qin! I'm sorry, I am blind and blind. I didn't expect you to come!"
Qin Tao smiled: "Gong Zhao, you're welcome. I just happened to be passing by and came here to take a look. By the way, you are engaged in optoelectronic equipment. Can you make a display for the cockpit?"
"Of course." Zhao Guangdou said: "For a key project in our country, one level and three bottoms, including the head-up display and the bottom display, are all provided by our factory."
"Then can your factory accept foreign trade orders?"
Zhao Guangdou opened his eyes wide: "Of course it can, but can foreigners use our domestic avionics? Don't they dislike the poor performance of our electronic equipment?"
Zhao Guangdou felt a little incredible.
"Of course I don't mind." Qin Tao said: "They have specified that they want our equipment. However, I don't know much about domestic equipment, so I dare not make promises to them. Next, I will send them an invitation and ask them to come to you."
Unit inspection.”
"That's great, Mr. Qin, if it can be done, we will give you three points of service fee." Zhao Guangdou was sincere.
"Forget it, you can keep it for yourselves." Qin Tao said, "I don't like those people. By the way, I heard that you are working on a helmet sight?"
"Well, we have already begun the localization of the Su-27. We cannot always use imported products, we have to develop it ourselves." Zhao Guangdou said: "This technology is not difficult, and we are confident to conquer it."
Qin Tao smiled: "Lao Maozi's helmet sight is indeed beyond the times, but it is not an advanced technology. Since we want to develop it, we must aim at more advanced systems and work hard."
The helmet sight is a cross-generational invention of Lao Maozi. This device is designed to cooperate with the R-73 missile launched from a large off-axis. Wherever the pilot's head turns, the missile's seeker follows, simulating a confrontation.
Among them, the MiG-29 can defeat the F16 fighter overwhelmingly with its helmet sight and R73 missile.
After the introduction of the Su-27 in China, we were very satisfied with this shchel-3um helmet sight and decided to localize it. It will not only be equipped on the domestic J-11, but also be equipped on other domestic aircraft to guide the Thunderbolt-
8 combat missiles.
Of course, due to various reasons, helmet sights are not standard equipment. Many pilots just have a fixed shelf on their helmets and are equipped with them when needed.
"More advanced?" Zhao Guangdou was a little curious: "This kind of helmet sight is already very advanced!"
Qin Tao showed an expression that looked like you had never seen the world before: "This kind of helmet sight has a low technical level and relatively simple functions. It can only display the weapon aiming halo, but cannot display flight and sensor information, nor can it display mission data.
During an air battle, pilots have to lean over and observe the information on the instrument panel display to grasp the status of the aircraft, which can easily delay the aircraft."
Qin Tao said a lot directly, which made Zhao Guangdou extremely surprised. Mr. Qin was actually an expert! Sure enough, just like the rumors, there was nothing Mr. Qin couldn't do. Mr. Qin was proficient in everything!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Advanced helmet sighting systems require better display systems. The pilot's goggles can display a large amount of information, and can even display the gun hotline. We
The head-up display in the cockpit can also be thrown away. Even after more cameras are distributed on the aircraft, the pilot's goggles can still display images passing through the fuselage."
The pilot's field of vision is very poor. He can only see outside through the cockpit cover, especially the rear fuselage, which is almost blocked. Even if there are several rearview mirrors in the cockpit, they are of little use.
Advanced fighter aircraft can arrange cameras on the fuselage to directly synthesize images, just like the panoramic view of a car. They can see everything outside clearly. Moreover, wherever the pilot turns his head, the corresponding situation will be displayed.
This thing sounds high-end, but Zhao Guangdou's surprised look has turned into incredulity.
"Mr. Qin, what you are talking about sounds like something from a science fiction world! Among other things, we simply cannot produce the display required for this kind of helmet! Can the display also transmit light?"
When can these goggles be used as a monitor?
Qin Tao smiled awkwardly: "I'm talking about the future."
It’s only 1995. When Qin Tao talked about the F-35 pilot’s helmet, of course it was too far ahead of this era. The development of liquid crystal technology is changing with each passing day. People today can’t imagine how earth-shaking the display system will be in the future.
Variety.
Especially later generations of mobile phones with flexible LCD screens that can be folded in half look incredible.
It is too early to say this now.
"Oh." Zhao Guangdou nodded: "Mr. Qin, I believe that these things you said will definitely come true in the future."
"you believe?"
"Yes, none of us know how powerful Mr. Qin is. As long as Mr. Qin said it, it is absolutely correct." Zhao Guangdou was sure.
"Ahem, what I just said is nonsense, let's get down to business." After Qin Tao finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Shi.
Mr. Shi nodded and took out the metal box: "We got this device by chance. It has been soaked in water. We reported it to our superiors and asked the relevant departments to send people to study it. Since the superiors sent you here, I will
It is given to you and I hope you will study it."
Zhao Guangdou looked at the metal box curiously. When he saw the writing on the box, he was stunned: "Data link? Or link?"
16?”
"Yes, this level of confidentiality is very high. If you take over, the writing on it will be erased." Mr. Shi said, "You need to do your best to study the mysteries inside it."
Zhao Guangdou's expression became serious.
"What, is it difficult?"
"Yes, it is very difficult." Zhao Guangdou did not conceal the difficulty at all: "We know that we have now entered the microelectronics era, and there are a large number of integrated circuits. Even if we know its model, this kind of dedicated integrated circuit
, and we won’t be able to purchase it. Therefore, if we want to imitate it, we can only study its functions and then design matching integrated circuits, which requires too much work.”
If we were still in the age of electron tubes or transistors, there would be no problem in imitation. The era has long entered the field of microelectronics. Who knows what kind of circuit is inside such a small chip? You can't see it even with a magnifying glass!
Therefore, in this era, it is difficult to imitate, just like the CPU is a huge profit, but no one can copy the CPU. This thing cannot be copied at all, unless the marks on it are polished and low-end ones are used.
Pretending to be high-end.
"Since your superiors have assigned the task to you, then you should be the most suitable unit. If you can't imitate it, then other units probably won't have the possibility." Mr. Shi sighed with emotion: "What a pity for such a good thing. !”
"Of course not." Zhao Guangdou shook his head: "I'm just saying it's difficult. Did I say not to imitate? If our army wants to develop, data link is also a technology that must be broken through. Moreover, we have to complete the integration. Whether it is domestically produced, Whether it is imported or imported, we must be able to blend them together. Our research institute also plans to develop more business, and now is an opportunity, so even if there are various difficulties, we can face them!"
Zhao Guangdou’s words are resounding: “This is the mission given to us by history!”
Qin Tao was also moved. These older generation military personnel all have such a noble consciousness!
In later generations, the Su-30 and the J-10 fought together and could exchange information with each other through data links. Even the imported Su-30 could be equipped with domestic weapons. This was developed step by step and diligently by domestic military workers. .
They knew the difficulties, but they did not bow in the face of difficulties!
"Of course, we also need help from Mingzhou Group."
These words confused Qin Tao: "Our Mingzhou Group has nothing to do with this!"
"Why are they not related? Aren't you building a chip factory? Maybe the special chips we need can be handed over to your factory for manufacturing after they are designed!"
Qin Tao nodded: "This is no problem! After you get it, repair it first. It would be best if you can copy the built-in program and study the information interaction method of their data link. Even if you master the principles of the software first, OK."
Even if this thing is broken, it will be solidified in flash
The programs in the room can also be read. At that time, the link16 data link will have no secrets in front of you.
It would be best to complete this work next year. By then, it would be great if we could use this device to directly enter the other party's data link system.
Their optoelectronics institute is engaged in hardware. This kind of professional network intrusion should be completed by a professional hacker team. It seems that we need to suggest to my father-in-law to cultivate such a team.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Tao secretly made up his mind.
Of course, the navy's data link system should also be developed, especially with the advent of aircraft carriers in the future, the amount of data transmission required will increase exponentially.
Watching various movies, it seems that commanding operations means holding a radio and issuing a few orders. In fact, times have changed a long time ago. Sit down and type on the keyboard, transfer large amounts of data instantly, and allocate targets, etc., all rely on data links. Completed.
After all this hard work, when I returned to the Wasteland Village, it was already July, and the Wasteland Village was also bustling with activity. In addition to a large number of navy soldiers, there were also a group of foreigners.
"Qin, I invited thirty-two people, and they are all willing to come to work in the East." After Stroll saw Qin Tao, he came to him to claim credit.
Compared to Delano's $10 million, Stroll's income is still very small. However, $3.2 million is an astronomical sum for him.
"Okay." Qin Tao said: "My promise will be fulfilled soon. Give your bank account to my secretary. Hey, Fresnel light box?"
Qin Tao walked as he talked and came to the end of the simulation deck. Here, he was surprised to see the colorful light boxes erected there. This thing is also a necessary device for the landing of carrier-based aircraft.
"Yes, the principle of this device is not complicated. The people I brought here are engineers in this field. Under his guidance, your relevant departments finally made this light box, Cochrane, Cork
Lun!"
As Stroh shouted, a person wearing a domestic navy uniform came over. She had short hair and dark skin.
Is it a woman or a black man?
A smile appeared on Cochran's face: "Are you Mr. Qin? I have contributed to this set of light boxes. I heard that I can get a bonus?"
Qin Tao recovered from the shock and nodded vigorously: "Of course, on behalf of the group, I will reward you 100,000 yuan!"
"RMB? Why not USD?"
"You will be working here for a long time in the future, so I will provide you with the currency of your country first. Of course, you can leave at any time, and before leaving, I will help you convert RMB into US dollars."
Qin Tao's answer was perfect.
"Okay." Cochran agreed.
"This base is almost ready, but it's a pity that none can fly." Delano was already a little bored.
"Don't worry, those who can fly will be here soon. By then, our base will be able to operate normally. As for now, we can practice on the simulator first." Qin Tao said.
