"Our reconnaissance satellite has just captured the latest photos of Wasteland Village." An intelligence officer came to Swift with the photos.
"Wasteland Village? Did those Orientals get any toys again?" Swift held his cigar in his mouth with interest and looked at the photo.
The photos taken from a high position are very clear. Just on the jump runway of Wasteland Village, a large three-winged fighter plane is taking off from above. The shape is so beautiful and so unbelievable.
"Su-33? How is it possible that Lao Maozi sold the carrier-based aircraft to the Easterners? Why do the Easterners want the carrier-based aircraft?" Swift shouted in surprise: "This is unscientific!"
Just by looking at it, you can identify the model of this fighter. It is the second heavy-duty carrier-based fighter in the world! It is even conceivable that when the American Tomcat fighter jets are retired from active service, this fighter will become the only one in the world.
The only heavy-duty carrier-based fighter aircraft.
Now, this kind of aircraft has actually appeared in the east, at the Wasteland Village base. What are they going to do?
It is easy for people to think of the Dongfang Sea Fortress. Could it be that Dongfang obtained the aircraft carrier power in this way?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Swift would never believe that such an insignificant small country in the East could actually possess such a war machine?
"Wasn't that Dongfang Sea Blocking Ship burned into an empty shell? There's no second shipyard in the East that can build such a big thing, right? Mingzhou Group is currently building the world's largest Blocking Ship. It's impossible.
Free up your hands to build an aircraft carrier." The people next to him were also shocked.
"Report, we just got secret information." At this moment, someone came over to report.
"What information?"
"Dongfang has independently developed the J-15 fighter jet and plans to use it on islands. Because the runway is limited, it will use a ski jump to take off and block the landing."
This is not the Su-33, but the J-15 independently developed by Dongfang? Moreover, this kind of aircraft is used on islands?
Swift frowned and looked at the person who reported the news: "Is the information reliable?"
"It's very reliable. It was sent by someone inside them, codenamed Shaokang No. 1 and Shaokang No. 2."
Swift nodded: "Yeah, okay!"
He knew that the intelligence officers with these two code names were the treasures of the intelligence agency, and the information that came out was never missed.
Now, with this information, they can rest assured for the time being.
I was almost shocked!
Swift looked at the information, frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "Does Da Mao know about this project? Whether you know it or not, you must tell them about this project. The Orientals are copying their fighter planes! Wait until later,
The technology of the Orientals exceeds that of Mao, and they may even squeeze the export market of Mao’s military aircraft!”
When it comes to provocation, they are definitely good at it.
East.
The take-off and landing of the carrier-based aircraft has been successfully completed. Although the base is not yet able to simulate the shaking of the deck, this is already a new journey. Next, more people will master the take-off and landing operations of this kind of carrier-based aircraft.
Officially becoming an excellent naval carrier-based aviation force.
Wu Shengli was very happy.
"Today's J-15 flight once again created a miracle and made up for one of our regrets. I believe that in the future, we will definitely have a strong maritime power. This fighter will also become the backbone of our navy!
I’m really looking forward to this carrier-based aircraft landing on our aircraft carrier!”
"Why not?" Qin Tao looked at Wu Shengli: "How about conducting the first landing and takeoff of a carrier-based aircraft in March?"
In March, carry out this kind of project?
Wu Shengli's heart was suddenly aroused. Of course he knew what this time in March meant, and he also knew how ground-breaking Qin Tao's proposal would be.
"Taozi, you still have a lot of ideas, don't you?"
Qin Tao nodded: "I have some ideas, but I don't know if the leaders have time to listen to them. Aren't you very busy?"
"Listen even if you are busy!" Mr. Lin said from the side: "Taozi, the ideas you put forward are always eclectic, and they are much better than those staff members who stick to the rules! I want to listen too!"
"Then we have to find a suitable place."
"To our air force base nearby!"
There are a large number of foreigners in the base here. Although they have withstood various tests, they still cannot be completely assured that the air force base next door is much safer.
In the conference room of the air force base, everyone listened excitedly to Qin Tao's introduction. All kinds of fantastic ideas opened the eyes of everyone present.
Originally, they only planned to conduct regular military exercises, but this kind of exercise has been carried out several times in the past few months, so it will not feel refreshing.
Now, these plans mentioned by Qin Tao are all brand new!
"Taozi, if you put on a military uniform and join the army, you can come directly to be my assistant." Wu Shengli said enthusiastically.
Qin Tao shook his head: "I won't go."
Are you kidding me? I am the CEO of Mingzhou Group, which is famous in China and even around the world. I am usually very impressive. Why should I be your assistant?
Wu Shengli smiled and said nothing else.
"In this plan, electronic countermeasures are also very important, and it requires being able to cut into Link
16. In the data link, do we have this capability?" This is what Mr. Lin is most worried about.
A smile appeared on Qin Tao's face: "If the other party doesn't change the frequency hopping rules, we can still get in. According to the other party's practice, if there is no risk of leakage, they will generally not switch."
The Link-16 data link system obtained last time is crucial. In Qin Tao's plan just now, he must know the whereabouts of the other party, and it is crucial to get into this data link system.
If it is a previous data link, including the previous generation Link
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! 4 data links do not have advanced encryption capabilities and are easy to be stolen. When it comes to Link
It took 16 years to perfect this ability.
Its main encryption and anti-interference method is frequency hopping: the communication data of this data link system is sliced into a group of 75 bits after two verifications, each group has 15 parts, and each part is a small segment of 5-bit data. Each
A small segment only takes 6.4 microseconds to transmit, with an interval of 6.6 microseconds. When each small segment is transmitted, one of the 51 frequency hopping frequency points will be selected for transmission according to a specific rule. Its frequency hopping speed is hops/second.
In one second, it jumps more than 70,000 times!
Ordinary radio monitoring can only monitor a certain frequency band, and the interference cannot be a large blockage of the entire frequency band, which would require quite a lot of power.
Therefore, even if you obtain one of the data packets, as long as you don't know which frequency hopping frequency point to receive it next, you will not be able to receive the complete communication information, let alone crack it.
Frequency hopping radio signals are difficult to crack unless you have an identical machine! This is like the Jenny cipher machine of World War II. The West directly developed electronic computers and wanted to crack the code through a lot of calculations.
Later, they directly obtained a Jenny cipher machine. As a result, the actions of the Germans in front of the West were transparent.
Now, the other party does not know that it has obtained a Link
If the 16 data link system still operates in the same way as before, then our own side can easily break in, monitor, and even publish false news.
Of course, if you are just monitoring, you will not be noticed by the other party. If you publish false news, they will definitely investigate and then switch to new frequency hopping rules.
At this time, Mr. Lin asked worriedly, but the others just laughed and said nothing.
"Okay, your navy is still hiding this from us? It seems that you have gained a lot." Mr. Lin said.
Some things don’t need to be said, you can just guess them.
"This already belongs to electronic warfare." Qin Tao said: "We are still very weak in this aspect and cannot compete with technologically advanced opponents. We must also develop our own electronic warfare capabilities as soon as possible. By the way,
How is the progress of our early warning aircraft project?"
In the past, Qin Tao only occasionally chatted with Mr. Lin and others, and never asked about it again. Although the Navy also needs fixed-wing carrier-based early warning aircraft, under the current circumstances, the Navy is working hard to raise funds to build the J-15 Project.
Projects of this type are stretched thin, and there is simply no extra power to develop early warning aircraft.
This kind of thing cannot be rushed.
"Early warning aircraft project? We are currently in close contact with the Kingdom of David. By the way, Taozi, we all remember the suggestions you gave us back then." Mr. Lin said: "If you are free..."
"I don't have time." Qin Tao quickly shook his head.
The Chinese New Year is almost here!
This Chinese New Year guy, I don't want to run around outside. What should I do if Haiyang doesn't recognize me when I get home? I am really incompetent as a father.
Mr. Lin still had a smile on his face: "Taozi, I remember you brought back a model of the Yak-44 early warning aircraft before? When the navy has aircraft carriers and catapults, it will definitely need fixed-wing ships.
An early warning aircraft, right? This early warning aircraft technology was invested and developed by our Air Force."
Wu Shengli frowned at the side, and then said: "Taozi, why don't you take a few days to accompany them for a walk?"
Qin Tao glanced at Wu Shengli with dissatisfaction, "Why are you panicking? With the air force, we will naturally have the navy. How dare they ask for more money from us? Go directly to the superiors to file a lawsuit!"
However, since Wu Shengli has spoken, Qin Tao cannot offend two people at the same time.
Qin Tao thought for a while and then said: "Okay, I can go for a run, but if there is an accident in the future and a large amount of money is claimed, one-third of the compensation will go to the Navy!"
It was a conspiracy from the beginning! When Qin Tao made such a suggestion, Mr. Lin lamented at that time that Qin Tao was really dark. But now, Mr. Lin feels that Qin Tao is even darker.
If there is no accident, our Air Force will get an airborne early warning aircraft, and everyone will be happy. If there is an accident, we will also train a research and development team for the early warning aircraft, and at the same time receive a large amount of compensation. This is the best of both worlds, but why should the compensation be allocated to the Navy?
?
"What does this have to do with the navy?" Mr. Lin looked at Wu Shengli, who was grinning happily, and couldn't help but ask Qin Tao.
"What does this have to do with me? You have to let me go." Qin Tao said: "If I say that one-third of the compensation should be given to our Mingzhou Group, then if you want to default on the debt in the future, you might even send me to jail.
If you go to jail and say that I embezzled money from your Air Force, it would be better to give it to the Navy to show the brotherhood. Anyway, if the Navy has money, it will also place orders with our Mingzhou Group to build more warships. This is the best way to do it.
good."
"Old Lin, if Taozi goes, the compensation will be doubled. Our navy will only share one-third of it. You still make money. Why are you looking like this? Come on, smile!"
Mr. Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, just follow what you said."
At the end of January 1996, Qin Tao took a plane and went to the Kingdom of David with a group of people.
Among the people who went with him were Mr. Lin, who was getting stronger and stronger, and Mr. Wang, who was in charge of the early warning aircraft program of the 14th Institute.
On the plane, everyone started chatting.
Mr. Wang is an expert in the development of early warning aircraft. When China first started to develop Air Police No. 1, he once presided over the research and development. The project failed in the end, which was also the reason for the weak scientific and technological capabilities at the time. In recent years, the rapid development of domestic electronic technology has also given rise to
This gave Mr. Wang greater confidence.
"Currently, there are not many types of strategic early warning aircraft in the world." Mr. Wang said: "The American E-3 early warning aircraft uses a flat slot antenna, and the Da Mao An-50 uses a mechanically scanned horizontal slotted waveguide.
The performance of the antenna is much worse.”
Although they all have a big plate on top, the things inside the big plate are different. Da Mao's big plate is essentially the same as a flat antenna like a modern top-plate radar. After all, Da Mao's precision machining capabilities are too poor to be processed.
Advanced flat panel slot antenna.
"However, these are all outdated. The future belongs to active phased array radar." Qin Tao interjected: "Although we started late, we have a high starting point and can directly overtake in corners and reach the world's advanced level."
Mr. Wang nodded: "Yes, this is also our inevitable choice. Fortunately, we have made breakthroughs in shipborne phased array radar, and we have been able to produce qualified T/R components. The biggest problem at present is that we lack advanced technology.
Computer systems currently used on warships are temporarily replaced by commercial computers, but they always have flaws in terms of security."
Qin Tao had confidence on his face: "Yes, currently we still lack advanced military computers, but don't worry, we will be able to overcome this difficulty in the next one or two years, and we will have self-developed advanced computers in our country
system."
The Loongson project has begun. Of course, this project is not only for civilian use, but also for military use! When it was first developed, Qin Tao had already thought of using it as a military computer. In two or three years, or even this year, Godson-1 will be able to
Out.
"Our own?" Mr. Wang opened his eyes wide.
"That's right, it's our own. After you come back, you can go to our Loongson Company to investigate it when you have time."
Mr. Wang nodded. If it can create a miracle, Mingzhou Group is the one with the most potential. Since it is a subordinate of Mingzhou Group, it will definitely be able to create it!
Whether it is an air defense destroyer or an early warning aircraft, it needs a high-performance data processing system. Otherwise, it will be the same as Damao's A-50. Although it is a strategic early warning aircraft, it can only command more than a dozen fighter jets at the same time. It is simply like a large
Same as the MiG-31.
(There is also a saying that the data link is not good.)
"If the computer system problem can be solved, then our self-research will have another layer of protection." Mr. Wang said: "I have learned from experience this time..."
At this point, Mr. Wang changed the topic: "The trend of early warning aircraft in the world is definitely transitioning to active phased array radars. The Philcon early warning aircraft of the David Kingdom has set a precedent. Many of their experiences are worth it."
We learned it.”
"Yes, it is because of the use of active phased array radar that the Falcon early warning aircraft of the David Kingdom does not have a large plate on the top, and the layout is very advanced."
"Advanced?" Qin Tao smiled: "What is advanced? It's not that they are technologically inferior."
In this era, almost all early warning aircraft have the appearance of a large plate on top. Only the Falcon early warning aircraft has a big nose in the front and large cheeks on both sides.
Of course, this has the advantage of active phased array radar. Since it is made of individual T/R components, it can be completely dispersed. However, Falcon does this not only to take advantage of this advantage, but also because it has no choice but to do so.
s Choice.
The Kingdom of David was surrounded by enemies and fought countless wars. Therefore, the Davidians established a powerful and unique military industry and developed a series of unique weapons.
Among the army, there is the Merkava tank, which is the only main battle tank with the engine placed in the front. Among the air force equipment, they have also self-developed the Young Lion fighter jet. However, due to insufficient technology, they used a lot of borrowing methods.
The Falcon early warning aircraft is also a product of such conditions. It is not that easy to make the aircraft carry a large plate. The large plate has a great impact on the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft, so a large number of wind tunnel tests are required. David
If you don’t have this ability, just give up.
"When the technology becomes more advanced, all the T/R components can be put into the skin of the aircraft. This will be a truly tall early warning aircraft. In the future, even fighter jets will be able to be laid out like this, with no blind spots in all directions, but
Now, the layout of the Falcon early warning aircraft results in a certain blind spot behind the fuselage, which is not the most advanced at all. If we want to build it, we still need a big plate on the top. Mr. Wang, how are you doing with your research?"
"Yes, we have also done detailed research. If we want the early warning aircraft to have excellent performance, we need to have a large disk on the top. Therefore, we approached David this time and planned to propose a backpack-type large disk.
The design of a three-sided active phased array radar, and our radar radome will have a diameter of 14 meters, which is the largest in the world."
The U.S. Air Force's E-3 early warning aircraft has a radome diameter of only 9.1 meters, and the A-50's radome is 10.2 meters in diameter. The largest one before was probably the Tu-126 early warning aircraft, with a radome diameter of 11 meters. Now, our own designed radar
The diameter of the cover actually reached the order of 14 meters.
The bigger this thing is, the greater its impact on the aerodynamic layout.
"The people from David will definitely not be able to do this, and they have to leave it to us. When the time comes, we will use this to lower their prices." Qin Tao said, "I will be the bad guy."
Mr. Lin glanced at Qin Tao with satisfaction and left it to Qin Tao to negotiate the price, absolutely no problem!
The early warning aircraft incident was also thanks to Qin Tao’s foreshadowing!
Mr. Lin spoke: "This time we plan to use the Il-76 airframe. Thanks to Taozi going to the Chkalov Aircraft Factory and buying back ten Il-76 and Il-78, otherwise we would really
There is no suitable platform for modification.”
"Mr. Lin, you probably don't know that there are still A-50 airframes at the Chkalov Aircraft Factory, right?"
What?
Mr. Lin opened his eyes wide: "There are still A-50 aircraft?"
Mr. Wang nodded: "Yes, President Qin and I went to the Chkalov Aircraft Factory together and saw the A-50 airframe that has been discontinued there. If this kind of airframe is used to assemble our early warning aircraft, it will definitely be
Easier."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mr. Lin swallowed and said: "Taozi, when we come back from the Kingdom of David, do you want to go to the Chkalov Aircraft Factory?"
Qin Tao shook his head: "No, I want to go home to celebrate the New Year! Don't always count on me for everything, I'm very busy, okay?"
"Well, is it time for the aircraft of your Mingzhou Group Air Transport Company to undergo annual inspection?"
Qin Tao could only give in: "Okay, just go."
The plane landed at the airport of David Aircraft Company (IAI).
At this time, it was afternoon, the afternoon sun was shining on the airport, and there was no trace of coldness. The Mediterranean climate was still good.
"Everyone, welcome to the Kingdom of David." Aharjun Kaz, who was in charge of the reception, extended his hand to everyone.
The relationship between Dongfang and the Kingdom of David is quite good. Before the introduction of the Su-27, the most advanced Pili-8 air-to-air missile of the domestic air force was the Weishe-3 with a complete set of technology introduced from the Kingdom of David. Therefore, everyone is
Old acquaintance.
At this time, Kaz shook hands with everyone one by one, first Mr. Lin, then Mr. Wang. When he saw the third person, he was stunned, and then asked tentatively: "This is Mr. Qin of the Mingzhou Group."
?"
"Yes, it's me, how did you know?" Qin Tao was very curious.
"Of course I know. You have created miracles one after another in the field of shipbuilding. In the aviation industry, your J-31A fighter was also promoted by you. You are a magical man!"
Faced with Kaz's praise, Qin Tao said modestly: "No, I'm just lucky. If you want to join the J-31A project, you can."
Kaz shook his head helplessly: "We do have this idea, but some people will definitely not agree. Our self-developed fighter jets had to stop research and development due to their interference. How could they let us invest in the J-3?"
Eleven A!”
When he said this, Kaz suddenly thought of something: "Since you are developing a stealth aircraft, you must have also developed the corresponding stealth paint, right?"
Stealth paint? Why worry about this? In 1999, we still couldn’t get paint for stealth aircraft?
Of course, we can't say yet.
"This is a secret." Qin Tao said bluntly, and then pointed to the tarmac in the distance: "Is that a Falcon early warning aircraft modified from a Boeing 707? Can we go over and take a look first?"
