Michelle opened a luxury store, selected the best store, put in the best decoration, and waited for at least three months to open. Zhou Qingfeng kept in touch with her on the phone and sent her a batch of goods every week for trial sales and promotion.
The latter stayed in Shenzhen until early July, busy building a light industry chain focusing on textiles, but a phone call pulled him to the Hongdu factory, which was building heavy-duty carrier-based aircraft.
After two years of F-14A mapping and approval, several design groups supported by the Holy Light competed with each other and completed more than ten configuration wind tunnel experiments for the carrier-based aircraft project, and selected one of them to officially start engineering research and development.
Zhou Qingfeng arrived at the Hongdu Factory just to see the one-to-one wooden fighter model being built. Since the aviation operation space of carrier-based aircraft is limited and there is no domestic experience at all, such a model needs to be trained in advance for personnel.
The design and manufacturing of modern aircraft are too complex. All the domestic aircraft used before were imitation light aircraft. Currently, the J-10 has just made its first flight, and the heavy carrier-based aircraft is completely blank. Everyone is a novice and lacks confidence.
In order to make the project proceed smoothly, Zhou Qingfeng used the Red Dragon Potion to recruit a group of "retired experts" from the aviation industry from the United States. Including design, manufacturing, operation and maintenance, covering all aspects, there are currently more than 200 people.
Most of them are engineers from top aviation manufacturing companies such as Boeing, Northrop, and Grumman. There are also some retired US military "old sea dogs" who specialize in piloting F-14A pilots and ground crew on aircraft carriers.
The 'Blue Army', led by Arcee in the past two years, has tortured domestic sea and air pilots to physical and mental exhaustion. The Air Force no longer mentioned the introduction of the Su-27, and instead spent money to introduce the AL-31F aviation production line.
.
‘Holy Light’ uses Motor Sich’s assistance and Western technology to prepare to localize this Russian engine.
As for the Air Force's previous introduction of 24 Su-27SKs, they were proven to be unable to defeat the Tomcats and Fighting Falcons after repeated actual combat training.
Maozi's radar is really terrible. It has high power but cannot be put to any use. It is a waste of electricity. The performance of the air-to-air missile is also false, and the product is not accurate. It is no match for the AIM-120A.
Currently, the rebels on the southeastern islands are or are about to switch to F-16A/B and Mirage-2000. The navy and air force, which have experienced the bitter experience, are feeling great pressure.
Now the country is placing all its bets on the Hongdu factory, waiting for the emergence of its own heavy-duty fighter aircraft based on the F-14A and F-16C.
"Thanks to Mr. Zhou's support, otherwise this project would be really difficult." The head of Hongdu Factory personally picked up the plane at the airport and took Zhou Qingfeng to visit the factory.
The reason why this person who doesn’t understand aircraft design at all is invited to listen to the report is that the current design and manufacturing require the strong support of the Holy Light. Both funds and technology are indispensable.
"The No. 10 project in Chengdu fully implemented computer-aided design, which greatly saved research and development time and started manufacturing prototypes one year in advance. We here also vigorously introduced computer-aided design, and we are deeply aware of the benefits of computers."
The brains and brains all speak of feelings.
For future generations, computers are inseparable from life and work, and they are needed for eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping. However, there are still many old researchers who are not accustomed to or even resist using new things.
Because the emergence of new things makes the skills that some old antiques have spent a lifetime studying and mastering instantly become obsolete. These old antiques are often still in high positions, and it is difficult for them to learn it again with their fixed thinking.
'Red Tomcat' is a project started with Holy Light's money, and now the Navy and Air Force are strongly supporting it. New people have been vigorously recruited from the pre-research stage of the project. The average age of the R&D team of thousands of people is only thirty years old, which is very risky.
move.
"Computers are really good, especially the computer provided by Mr. Zhou." The R&D staff of Hongdu Factory were full of praise for this.
Is it bad? They are both PS3s specially designed for playing games, and both have bug-level existence with more than 200 billion floating point calculations per second. They are fast and good for running graphics simulations with large amounts of data.
The PS3 that Zhou Qingfeng took out scared everyone in the country, exclaiming, "The United States is invincible, how could it come up with such a powerful thing?" This really forced him to invest in semiconductors.
If the people in the ministries and commissions knew that there was a 9 trillion times per second 'ruthless machine' idle playing minesweeper in the office of the president of 'Holy Light', they would be even more dizzy and want to vomit blood.
With the help of the unique architecture of the PS3 processor cell, the 'Matrix' team of 'Holy Light' built a parallel supercomputer with 200 cores, with a peak computing speed of an 'astonishing' 36 trillion operations per second.
In the past, calculation tasks that took a month abroad took a year in China. Because the time was too long, we simply stopped doing it. Now, the same problem that requires a month abroad can be solved in a few minutes in China.
So a lot of topics came up.
The time wasted by domestic researchers in the past because of "instruments are not as good as people" has been quickly matched or even surpassed, and computing resources have become unprecedentedly abundant. Many studies that could not be done in the past can now be completed easily.
This condition is really outrageous.
"Due to the improvement of scientific research conditions, the chief engineer of Project No. 10 simply recalculated the original plan. The air intake, wings, and fuselage structure were all fine-tuned, and the weight was successfully reduced by hundreds of kilograms."
Zhou Qingfeng had a high level in the ministry, so the Hongdu Factory showed him the small model of Project No. 10 made in Chengdu without any hesitation. After seeing it, he was surprised and said: "You guys built the DSI air intake so quickly.
La?"
The early models of Project 10 used binary adjustable inlets, and the improved models used DSI technology. The latter is simple and lightweight, with many advantages. The difficulty is that it requires supercomputing to complete heavy fluid dynamics calculations.
If the computing power is not enough, fluid mechanics is a research topic that cannot be carried out at all. But if the computing power is enough, this matter becomes much simpler.
DSI technology was once known to the world. But when there is a breakthrough in China, even the second-generation modifications used for miscellaneous purposes use DSI air intakes.
The researcher responsible for the introduction was very happy, "Mr. Zhou, you are very knowledgeable. This is the DSI air intake that the Americans are currently studying. We have conducted follow-up research on it and found that it is really good.
Chengdu didn't originally plan to use such a radical technology. But with so much computing power, it was hard not to give it a try. After trying it, the effect was so good that no one wanted to go back to using the old technology.
This is all thanks to the computers and a large amount of simulation software obtained by Mr. Zhou. We also plan to be radical, abandon the conservative thinking, and use some advanced technology in the carrier-based aircraft project.
This is mainly because Mr. Zhou has given us so much help. In addition to the widespread application of computers, the experts imported from the United States not long ago really gave us reassurance."
When the heads and heads talked about this, they all laughed happily, like a fox stealing a chicken.
The people who were 'introduced' were American experts with decades of work experience. Each led a small team of more than a dozen people, which greatly promoted the progress of the project and corrected young people's mistakes at low cost.
Nowadays, American experts are still very popular. They approve the recommended plan, and Hongdu Factory will definitely seriously consider it. In addition, the domestic navy and air force are now psychologically affected by the "Tomcat" and "Fighting Falcon", and they are facing heavy pressure from across the strait.
...
This will definitely take some radical paths.
Zhou Qingfeng thought to himself, "Let's be radical. At worst, I'll let Arcee and Sophia work together to help fix bugs and the like. In fact, it's just money. What we lack now is not money, but courage and confidence."
The researchers in the factory led the group to the manufacturing workshop of the carrier-based aircraft model. But as soon as they entered and took a look, Zhou Qingfeng was shocked and said: "Wait... what is this?"
"A red tomcat." The researcher who explained was beaming. He felt that the plan that had been eliminated after multiple rounds of arguments and was approved by American experts must have surprised Mr. Zhou.
What a liar, do you think I’m blind?!
Where is the red Tomcat here? It is clearly a red raptor. Or a stealth carrier-based red raptor with canards!
