After trying the "quality test", base chief Ling Weifeng was very satisfied with Zhou Yan's performance.
The base's confidentiality level is relatively high. In addition, the flight squadron has just been established and the ground support system is not yet complete. Therefore, while performing flight missions, Zhou Yan is also responsible for a considerable part of the ground support tasks.
After a period of understanding, Zhou Yan finally had a general understanding of the entire base: The base established during the construction period of the Third Front was later abandoned due to various reasons. In the new century, due to certain considerations, it was abandoned
Allocated to the newly formed Tyrant Wolf.
At the beginning of its establishment, the Decepticons had only one special operations squadron responsible for ground operations, an army aviation squadron and a logistics unit. Later, as the aviation industry of the flower growers blossomed, the superiors began to consider equipping the Decepticons with fighter jets and transport aircraft to make them more capable.
Ability to rapidly deploy globally.
Because the base is far away from the combat effectiveness production plant, for confidentiality reasons, after Zhou Yan joined, the base began to use or improve the old production equipment, so that the base has preliminary fighter overhaul capabilities.
Somehow, Ling Weifeng dug out the information that Zhou Yan had worked as a sixth-level worker in his hometown. Therefore, in his spare time, Ling Weifeng also assigned a task: to find out the structure and performance of the fighter jet, and try to improve it...
There are two types of fighter jets equipped at the Tyrant Wolf base: Su Liangguai’s domestically produced deeply improved versions of the J-11B and the J-10A.
The J-11B, which is already equipped with a phased array radar, has little room for improvement in the aerodynamic layout inherited from the Flanker. Zhou Yan could only use the material knowledge borrowed from Midi to reduce the weight and strengthen the turbofan.
Ten engines.
As for the other model, the J-10A, it has been in service for less than ten years and has a lot of room for improvement: the belly air inlet can be modified into the same DSI inlet as the J-10B, and the engine can also be replaced with a turbofan.
engine.
Strengthening the materials of the engine is enough, but if you want to improve the aerodynamic layout of the J-10, you need a lot of aerodynamic calculations.
After that, the supercomputer equipped at the Tyrant Wolf base was unlucky: it had always been running at low load before, but after opening the interface to Zhou Yan, it was often running at full load.
"A supercomputer with such excellent performance is only used for air traffic control. It is really a bit of an incompetence..."
The calculation of the aerodynamic model has been completed, and the base will hand over the scaled model to AVIC for wind tunnel testing.
The improvement of the aircraft has come to an end for the time being, but Zhou Yan's use of the supercomputer has not stopped: with the mentality of nip in the bud, Zhou Yan used the supercomputer to simulate the aerodynamic models and even the overall performance of several mainstream fighter jets in the world.
From Mirage Two Thousand, F-16, Rafale, Typhoon, to Su-35, F-15, F/A-18, F35, and even F-22.
If Kelly Johnson, the son of the wind, knew that Zhou Yan used the aircraft design experience inherited from him to simulate the main fighter of the beautiful country, he would almost faint in the toilet crying.
Kelly Johnson had participated in the American Army's Advanced Turbine Engine Gas Generator Program (ATEGG) from 1970 to 1980, and was very aware of the plans for the F-16 and F-15 engines derived from this project.
Fighter performance mainly depends on three factors: aerodynamic shape, engine performance and flight fire control system.
Zhou Yan is very familiar with fighter jets before the fourth generation of Midi Stealth, whether it is aerodynamic appearance, engine performance, or flight control system performance.
Even for the beautiful and invisible F-22 and F-35, Zhou Yan has the engine information in his hand, and he designs the appearance based on the pictures, and replaces the remaining fire control with the flower grower's, which can roughly improve the performance.
The research is inseparable...
At first, Ling Weifeng didn't take Zhou Yan's "little hobby" seriously, thinking that Zhou Yan was trying to kill time. Until one day, senior officers of the General Staff "raided" the base and copied Zhou Yan's information from the supercomputer.
"Little information"...
Although after that, there was a vague halo of abnormality above his head, Zhou Yan did not take it seriously. He continued to train and study. In his spare time, he occasionally learned about aircraft design experience from the masters of the Flight Design Institute.
Occasionally, I have a "flash of inspiration" and give some advice to many great masters...
In the second year after joining the Tyrants, Zhou Yan began to follow Ling Weifeng everywhere, participating in various exercises of the Air Force, and even the joint military exercises of the three services.
Of course, as foreign players, the two of them usually appear as "blue troops", and in most exercises, their final "ends" are relatively miserable.
However, the two of them still enjoyed it.
In the third year after joining the Tyrant Wolf Base, Zhou Yan finally got a chance to practice combat and provide ground fire support to the ground squadron participating in anti-terrorism.
What the base prepared for Zhou Yan was a heavily improved fighter aircraft pronounced as J-10A, written as J-10B, with a ground attack configuration, four 250-kilogram laser-guided bombs, and two air-to-air missiles.
The target location is directly transmitted to the onboard processor using a data link. After taking off, just set the destination and the invasion method.
"The Locust Stone has arrived near the target, requesting to mark the target."
"Target marked with laser!"
Zhou Yan began to lower the altitude and unlocked the weapon safety. Soon, a red target indicator appeared on the aircraft's screen display.
bomb!
Two 250-kilogram laser-guided bombs razed the half-buried rammed earth building to the ground...
After finishing, he was just about to do it manually, but before he could pull it up, Zhou Yan saw a small red dot rushing towards the plane from the corner of his eye.
No missile warning.
Is that an RPG?
Zhou Yan glanced at the mountains in the distance, flicked the throttle lever, turned the nose of the aircraft, and flew towards the target.
Still far away from the target, Zhou Yan began to adjust the direction of the aircraft's nose, put the target in the middle of the head-up display, then lightly pressed the cannon firing button and quickly released it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The machine body vibrated slightly, and more than fifty 30mm cannon shells were sprayed towards the opposite hill...
This time we can call it a day.
It is easy to release laser-guided bombs and launch cannons, but writing a report is more troublesome: how to release laser-guided bombs and how to launch cannons, the process must be written clearly, and the fighter flight control must be attached at the end of the report
, fire control system data.
Although Zhou Yan's fifty rounds of artillery shells cleared up the remnants of the ground troops, the ground troops made a small report after they came back: "More than fifty rounds of artillery shells passed by, and the criminals turned into a puddle..."
Because of the small report from the ground troops, Zhou Yan had to undergo a psychological evaluation by the base in the next few days...
There is naturally nothing wrong with Zhou Yan's psychology.
After the psychological evaluation report came out, the base commander Ling Weifeng invited Zhou Yan to have a dinner with the members of the ground squadron.
Zhou Yan knew Ling Weifeng's purpose very well, which was to ease the conflicts caused by the "small report" of the ground troops.
The troops on combat readiness will have dinner with food but no wine.
After being polite for a while and getting acquainted with each other, the squadron leader of the ground forces began to explain the reason for his snitching.
"Locust Stone, have you ever heard of post-traumatic stress syndrome?"
Zhou Yan is naturally very aware of PTSD, and it is also relatively common among Western troops who have participated in actual combat.
"In the army I served in before, the veteran instructor suffered from..." The squadron leader sighed slightly, "At that time, the construction of our country's special forces was not so standardized..."
Not all stories have a happy ending.
After suffering from PTSD, if you do not receive psychological intervention in time, the consequences will be quite serious: the squadron leader's old instructor was sent to a military court for excessive use of force during a certain operation...
