Chapter 661 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
The bomber took off.
Qin Tao breathed a sigh of relief. It was much easier than expected. These three Tu-160s were finally obtained by his own side!
Next, there is only the last step left: the golden cicada escapes from its shell.
It's already dark in the East, and it's time for Zhang Zhong's program. Now, this program has become very popular, and its ratings are almost as high as Focus Interview.
"Dear viewers in front of the TV, I am very happy that we meet again. Today's program is called Zhang Zhong talks about stealth bombers. The person who entered our studio is Mr. Zhou Guozhen, a designer from the famous domestic bomber development unit.
He came to tell us about the development of bombers and our stealth bomber project."
At this time, I don’t know how many people were watching in front of the TV. Not only in China, the TV signal was also broadcast to many countries simultaneously. When I heard this statement, I don’t know how many people were surprised.
What, the Eastern stealth bomber project?
When did the Easterners have stealth bombers?
"Hello everyone, let me first introduce to you the current H-6 in our country. Everyone knows that this bomber is improved from the Tu-16. It is already very old, but can it still be used? I
I want to tell you that our veterans are still very powerful. Currently, our H-6 has been updated and will have more powerful attack capabilities."
The sound is still there, but the screen has switched to the scene of Hongliu.
"You can find that compared with the previous H-6, this H-6 does not have a transparent nose cabin. A special large-scale multi-functional radar is installed there, which can detect targets two to three hundred kilometers away at sea, and then use
It carries anti-ship missiles for attack. At the same time, it can also mount other cruise missiles for long-distance precision attacks. At the same time, in the engine nacelles on both sides of it, we stuffed brand new engines to make it more powerful.
With more powerful power, low fuel consumption and long range, our H-6K has been transformed into a weapon for long-range precision strikes."
"Okay, that's it for introducing our H-6K. After all, this is not our main content today. Next, please introduce us to the stealth bomber project." Zhang Zhong continued.
"Okay, host, everyone knows that the era of air combat has entered the era of stealth machines. Without stealth machines, there will be no power to fight back on the future battlefield." Zhou Guozhen said: "Stealth machines will not appear.
On the radar screen, one can approach quietly and then launch an attack. It can be said that the target being attacked does not know where the attack came from until it is hit."
"This is the advantage of generation difference." Zhang Zhong interjected.
"That's right, generation difference. In front of stealth machines, all non-stealth machines are ants. Just like the best anti-tank weapon is the tank itself, the best way to deal with stealth machines is to have stealth machines ourselves. We
We can't find the other side, and the other side can't find us. In the end, it becomes a battle within visual range, returning to its essence. The same is true for bombers. We noticed that ten years ago, the United States announced their stealth bomber. This
The degree of science fiction of stealth bombers is beyond our imagination. At that time, many media were saying that the United States had obtained alien technology."
"Yes, ten years ago, when I was still in school, I also saw photos of the B-2 stealth bomber. At that time, I was thinking about how this thing could fly and how to control its flight," Zhang Zhong said.
The screen once again switched to photos of the B-2 stealth aircraft.
"This layout has no horizontal tail and vertical tail. The fuselage, cockpit, airborne equipment and all loads are integrated into the wing. The entire aircraft is like a flying wing, which can also be said to be a wing body.
The ultimate in integration." Zhou Guozhen introduced: "The first benefit of this layout is its strong stealth performance. It is precisely because of this layout that a bomber with a wingspan of more than fifty meters has a radar reflection area and
Like the compact F-117, this is difficult to achieve with other layouts."
"The second benefit is excellent aerodynamic efficiency. An aircraft with a flying wing layout has a high lift-to-drag ratio when flying at subsonic speeds. This layout is closest to the concept of a full-lift body, that is to say, almost every square meter
All the area is used to provide lift. It cancels the vertical tail and horizontal tail fuselage of traditional aircraft. It greatly reduces drag during flight. Simply put, it is more fuel-efficient, can fly farther, and can carry more
weapons."
"Mr. Zhou, you have mentioned so many advantages, so what are the disadvantages of this layout?" Zhang Zhong continued to ask.
"The disadvantage is that it is much more difficult to control. In previous aircraft, if a rudder failed, there was still a chance to save it. For example, the rudder of our Flying Leopard bomber flew off during test flights.
, in the end, the pilot relied on the thrust difference between the two engines to fly the plane back. If this situation were placed on a flying wing layout, it would be completely hopeless. As long as one rudder surface is damaged, it will crash.
, because each of its steering surfaces is irreplaceable."
"Mr. Zhou, what we are most curious about is that this aircraft does not have a vertical tail, so how does it turn? Does it also rely on thrust difference?"
"Of course not. The control of this kind of aircraft is all done by eight rudder surfaces at the rear. Specifically, if the aircraft wants to turn to one side, then the rudder surface on one side will open, increasing the number of
The resistance of one side of the wing. In this case, the rudder surface acts as a rudder. If the upper and lower parts of the rudder surface are combined and deflected in one direction, one side upwards and the other side downwards, they function as the main wing.
The wing functions to control the side rotation of the aircraft. If the rudder surfaces on both sides of the aircraft are opened at the same time, it will act as a speed brake."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then this must require precise control, right?"
"Yes, as long as there is a slight miscalculation, it may cause the aircraft to crash and kill people. In fact, the flying wing layout is not the first of the B-2. During World War II, the German HO-299 bomber already had a flying wing layout. Only
Unfortunately, the flight control system at that time was too weak and could not support the stable flight of this kind of aircraft."
"Mr. Zhou, are you so familiar with the flying wing layout because you have been studying this project for a long time?"
"Yes." Zhou Guozhen said: "When we saw the B-2 bomber, we knew we had to work hard to catch up. In the past ten years, we have flown through countless wind tunnels and done a lot of work on computers.
In the simulation, we also began to develop our own stealth bombers. In order to protect the sky of our motherland, this is the mission of our military workers! Internally, this project is called Project 20."
"Project 20, does it mean that you can fly into the sky in two thousand years?"
"Well, the project is still confidential and we can't say anything yet. However, we all know that just this year, the carrier-based version of the J-31A fighter jet we developed and produced domestically has begun to enter the mass production stage. Not only
As long as it is delivered to users, it is said that our domestic navy has also taken a fancy to it and officially named it the J-32 carrier-based aircraft. Now that such aircraft have come out, of course our bombers will not disappoint everyone.
Without realizing it, our country’s aviation industry has reached the second-ranked level in the world.”
Speaking of being second in the world, many people will be unconvinced. A country that did not have third-generation aircraft ten years ago and is looking for suitable fighter jets all over the world, and a country that is still mass-producing Su-27 as its main force, how can it say that it is itself?
Has it reached the second level in the world?
However, if you look around the world, no other country except the East is developing stealth machines.
wrong!
There is still a problem!
This J-31A was developed by the Mingzhou Group and adopted the method of international cooperation. What's wrong with the Dongfang people? This is a pat on the back for themselves!
There are various theories, but the news that there is a stealth bomber in the East has begun to spread around the world.
In places that are not dangerous, use 6K bombers; in dangerous places, use stealth bombers. That is enough.
Tu-160? There are only three aircraft in total, and there is still a lack of various spare parts supplies. Even if the Orientals have such a bomber, what can it be used for? It is definitely not for military use. The Mingzhou Group has many tricks now.
If we want to develop aerospace, we have actually done it. Now if we want to develop air-launched spacecraft, it is possible.
In the darkness, three bombers landed at the Hotan base.
Makagan got off the plane and looked at the earth in the night.
"Here we are, we finally came to the east!" Makagan said excitedly: "This is such a good place!"
"Everyone, welcome to your arrival. Please come to the base canteen to have a meal." The people who came to receive us were already waiting on the tarmac.
"Does your canteen have alcohol?" Makagon asked.
"Everyone, because you have to fly tomorrow, you can't drink too much. Each person can only drink one drink at most."
"Okay, let's have a drink." Makagan nodded.
After entering the canteen, they all opened their eyes wide.
All kinds of delicacies are placed on the counter. This is a buffet. But there are too many types of food, right? Fresh prawns and crabs, this is an inland area! There are also all kinds of meat
Categories, vegetables, fruits.
"Can we eat all of these?"
"Of course, this is a standard pilot restaurant."
"Can your pilots eat this kind of food every day?"
"Yes, the country spends a lot of money to train pilots. Meals should be properly matched. Only in this way can pilots be ensured to be in the best physical condition and have the best energy to meet challenges."
Makagan felt like he was about to burst into tears. The treatment from Dongfang was so good, right?
Forget about drinking, there are many things here that you won’t be able to eat without leaving, so eat more!
They took the dinner plates and filled them up.
"The treatment here is so good that I decided to stay and work as a pilot for Mingzhou Group!"
"I have to go back, I have a wife and children."
"You can bring your wife and children over here. The conditions here are much better than our Ermao!"
While everyone was dining and discussing their next plans, a sharp siren, noisy footsteps and shouts suddenly sounded outside.
How is this going?
Several people put down their food and looked outside, and then saw the light of fire on the tarmac in the distance.
"The plane is on fire?"
"No, it's our white swan!"
Makagan's expression changed drastically and he was the first to rush out, followed by the others and ran towards the apron.
The raging fire was burning, and although the fire trucks had tried their best to spray, it was meaningless. Looking at the appearance of the plane, there was no possibility of repair, it was burned to a skeleton!
"How could this happen?" Makagon murmured, "How could this happen?"
"Everyone, the cause of this fire is very strange. I hope you can accept the investigation." said an officer at the scene.
Weird, investigation?
Makagan reacted: "No, this was not done by us, it has nothing to do with us!"
"Yes, we still hope to continue flying this kind of aircraft. How could we do this deliberately?"
"Where is Mr. Qin? We were hired by Mr. Qin, and we want to see Mr. Qin!"
"Mr. Qin will be here tomorrow. Please don't worry. We just want you to be investigated. We are not saying that it must be you who did it. Here, we have delicious food and drink, and daily subsidies are also distributed routinely."
These few people have calmed down a little, have food to eat, and make money. This is enough, otherwise what else can they ask for?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Moreover, this matter is really strange.
The fire here was noticed by many people, and the next day, the news spread around the world.
The Tu-160 purchased by Mingzhou Group caught fire within an hour after landing.
All three planes were burned!
There must be a conspiracy behind this!
Mr. Qin came back in the afternoon of the next day. His face was very ugly and his eyes were bloodshot.
"I have heard the report. Three aircraft caught fire at the same time, starting from the fuel tanks. Even if our fire trucks arrived in the shortest time, they could not control the fire. Our Mingzhou Group lost 100 million
US dollars! It has caused a major blow to our space launch project!" Qin Tao's tone was low, and he looked at the pilots present: "Everyone, I beg you, if you know anything inside, please tell me!"
"Mr. Qin, we don't know!"
"Mr. Qin, we didn't do it!"
The Ermao pilots shook their heads.
"We also hope to continue flying here and make more money."
"Yes, we have all made plans to stay."
"I didn't say you did it, I just wanted to ask if you know the inside story." Qin Tao said.
Insider story?
Everyone pondered for a moment, and finally, someone spoke.
"Da Mao is very disgusted with this project of selling bombers. This matter is most likely done by Da Mao!"
"That's right, in recent days, some big-haired people have approached me and wanted my help, but I sternly refused. I want to be a pilot. If the plane breaks down, I will die too. I can't
Harm your own comrades!"
"It must have been done by Da Mao!"
These people finally gave a definite answer.
"Okay, if that's the case, then let's seek justice from Da Mao!"
Wait, something's wrong!
Makagan reacted.
It's one thing for them to talk behind each other's back here, but if they are asked to testify, do they still want to live a good life in the future? The KGB is famous for carrying out assassinations.
"President Qin, we can't do this. What will we do in the future?" Makagon's voice was filled with tears.
"Don't worry, Mingzhou Group will protect you."
Protection from Mingzhou Group? What does that mean? They will all have to stay with Mingzhou Group from now on?
In front of the burning wreckage of the plane, Qin Tao faced the camera and began to accuse.
"Today, I am very angry. Even though our Mingzhou Group has repeatedly emphasized that these aircraft are for civilian purposes, they have still been poisoned by the conspirators behind them!" Qin Tao's face was very ugly: "These aircraft have been dismantled.
The bombers, which had absolutely no possibility of combat, were equipped with special devices, and eventually they were all burned down. Our Mingzhou Group lost 100 million U.S. dollars!"
"Mr. Qin, do you know who did it?" the reporter at the scene asked eagerly.
"Currently, we don't have any evidence, so we can't say anything."
Can't say it clearly? Everyone's eyes flashed, that was speculation! Who did it, they could figure it out. Soon, they made a judgment, and then reported it based on their own speculation, especially
Those who feared that the world would be in chaos even reported the ins and outs of this incident, and even dug out a lot of inside stories.
When the news was broadcast, the whole world once again became a sensation.
Moscow responded that same day.
"We are indeed opposed to Ermao's export of Tu-160 bombers to the East, but we can guarantee that we are not secretly sabotaging it. This must be secretly promoted by a third party, and we will definitely pursue it to the end!"
Moscow not only issued a statement, but also sent a delegation, led by Nikolai, who flew directly to the capital to meet with Mr. Qin, who had just arrived in the capital.
"Nicholas, my good friend, I really didn't expect that you would come to the East for this matter."
"Yes, Qin, I have accepted many people's instructions to explain it clearly to you. After all, we have the closest relationship. I can assure you that this matter was not done by us."
"Who did that?"
"Americans, Americans saw that the relationship between us is very good, so they deliberately provoked it. Didn't you find that the attitude of the Americans in this matter is very strange? You will obtain strategic bombers, and the Americans actually have no objections.
!”
"We are civilian."
"Civilian technology can also serve the military." Nicholas said: "Qin, we are not children anymore. These statements are just to fool others. You have developed an air-launched spacecraft, which can be turned into an air-launched spacecraft at any time.
Shooting ballistic missiles, no?"
"If you insist on saying that, then there's nothing I can do about it."
"Qin, you must believe us."
"Nicholas, I believe you, but I don't believe those guys. Those guys might even lie to you."
Nicholas was stunned for a moment, and finally said nothing else.
"However, this matter will eventually pass. We don't have definite evidence, so we can only suffer the loss of being dumb. Alas." Qin Tao sighed.
Nikolai also sighed: "Yes, you have indeed suffered a loss. However, in order to show its sincerity, Moscow has decided to start negotiations on natural gas pipelines with the East in the near future."
The oil pipeline has been laid. Now, a large amount of fuel oil is transported to China through the pipeline every day. Domestic economic development does not need to consider energy issues for the time being.
Next, it’s time for natural gas.
"Okay, of course we welcome this project." Qin Tao said: "We can provide two options, one is the east line, which is the same as the oil pipeline, and the other is the west line, connecting from Burqin and other places in the northwest of us.
natural gas pipeline. In comparison, the latter is more beneficial to you because the pipelines built in your country are shorter."
Generally speaking, everyone knows that the Northeast is bordered by Lao Maozi. In fact, in the northwest of our country, where the rooster’s butt is, there are also two counties that are bordered by Lao Maozi. Therefore, natural gas pipelines can also be connected from
Take it over there.
Anyway, the country is also planning to transmit gas from the west to the east. If it happens to be taken over, it can be connected with domestic pipelines.
"Qin, what do you think about coming from the grassland?"
"Grassland? Nicholas, as long as we don't have something in our head, how can we, as buyers, agree to pass through the grassland?" Qin Tao said: "We are old friends, so we can talk more directly. When passing through the grassland,
It’s good for you. You can pull the little brother there and let him make money, but what’s the use for us? The grassland side will have the confidence to challenge us in the future. If they are short of money, they will increase some transit fees, and we still have to pinch it.
Just admit it, if someone wants to hit our economic development, then they can cause sabotage in the grassland and blow up a few sections of the pipeline. We will just stare. I know this is not your intention, it is a trick that your superiors want to play.
However, we will not play with them. Anyway, our Mingzhou Group is a shipbuilder, especially a first-class natural gas tanker manufacturer."
Nicholas nodded: "Qin, I understand what you mean."
"We look forward to continuing to cooperate in the energy field, but don't think of us as fools." Qin Tao said: "It's not like we can only buy natural gas from Damao." After Qin Tao said this, he smiled: "Okay, business.
Now that we’re done talking, let’s go have a few drinks next?”
Nicholas also nodded: "Qin, I'm here this time. I want to visit for a few more days, especially the Aegis battleship built by your Mingzhou Shipyard. I want to see it."
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. The Navy has just placed the second batch of orders. Our hulls haven't been welded yet. There's nothing to see. The only one built is for the elite of the Navy. They are undergoing various trainings, which is inconvenient.
visit."
"Mr. Qin, there is an emergency." At this moment, Xu Zhengyang interrupted the exchange between the two: "One of our country's cargo ships was attacked by pirates at sea!"
