Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

Born in this era, Zhao Guoqing was both lucky and powerless. He only had dragon-slaying skills, but he didn't have a stage to display them. In fact, when he said this, he also had a piqued attitude.

He said it unintentionally, but Zhao Zhongshu took it in. This kid can always turn decay into magic. With an advanced photolithography machine, I really don't know what will happen.

Compared with Zhao Guoqing, Zhao Zhongshu's news channels are much wider. In fact, the country really plans to introduce some photolithography machines. The Academy of Sciences has now accepted donations of several million US dollars. When the time comes, let the Academy of Sciences take the lead and ask for more Two plans are not impossible.

The matter has not yet been resolved, and Zhao Zhongshu does not want to say more about it, so he changes the subject and enters the next round. He himself does not know why, but always wants to share what he has seen and heard abroad with the young man in front of him. Let's take a moment and listen to the little guy's opinion.

But in front of Zhao Guoqing, it was like a preschool parent asking a child with a small Chinese character board.

"Little darling, do you know what this word is? Call mommy to give you milk!"

"This is Wang, the king of Lao Wang next door!"

…

"This should be a photoelectric sensor!"

"It's an electronic cabin, used for electromagnetic interference. This is a good thing!"

"..."

Zhao Zhongshu took out another photo. This time it was not complete. There was only a joystick and a thin wire. It could not be considered a wire. It was an optical fiber.

"National Day, if you knew this, I would treat you to a restaurant tonight!"

"General Master Zhao, you are so insincere. You will definitely entertain the leaders of Qingdao University tonight, so you must accompany me!"

"Then tomorrow, if you don't recognize me..."

"The fly-by-wire controller on the plane!"

"..."

"You see clearly, this is not a wire, it is transparent, how could it be a telex..."

It's so difficult to act, and Zhao Guoqing doesn't know what expression to put on.

"This should be optical fiber, a digital signal!"

Not surprisingly, this is a product of the British Rolls-Royce company. This company's aero engines and aircraft transmission and control are among the best in the world.

"You know this too?"

"General Master Zhao, Dr. Capani invented optical fiber in 1955. The digital transmission and control currently being studied abroad uses cables and suffers from interference problems in strong magnetic environments. It is not surprising that they thought of using optical fibers to transmit data, but …?”

"But what?"

Zhao Guoqing shook his head and said: "With the current mechanical and hydraulic transmission and control, plus the need for redundancy, an aircraft requires two sets of transmission and control, and the weight is about a ton. To use a telex, you only need one telex system and one set of mechanical Redundant systems can reduce a lot of weight, but the reliability of digital telex...remains to be studied..."

In this world, more advanced is not always better. Digital signal photoelectric conversion, reliable DAC chips, flight control calculation models, computing chips and corresponding software. If these basic technologies are immature, the introduction of digital telex will be a disaster.

Besides, using cables for signal shielding is much more reliable than optical fiber, and eliminates the uncertain factors of photoelectric and electro-optical conversion. This thing may seem advanced, but it may not be widely used in 40 years. .

Just look at the third brother from the family next door. Their Tejas fighter was mindlessly stacked with the most advanced technology in the world. As a result, it crashed every three days.

Zhao Guoqing's attitude is still conservative. When it comes to radar, the more advanced the better, but in the development of flight control, we still have to take one step at a time. After all, if something goes wrong with this thing, it will result in the destruction of the aircraft and the death of everyone.

Besides, mechanical hydraulic transmission and control, or analog transmission and control are not unusable. Digital telexing can be studied, but there is really no rush.

Although Zhao Guoqing is still clear about the country's decision-making in the 1980s, he is also wondering about the motivation.

Zhao Zhongshu kept sighing as he looked at the photos.

"The Americans can turn a radar of more than one ton into a few hundred kilograms, and the performance is even stronger. National Day, did you know? Their radar can detect 300 kilometers, plus over-the-horizon air-to-air missiles, we originally thought it would use ten I can shoot down an F16 with a J-8. Now that I think about it, I really overthink it. Three hundred kilometers away, we still don’t know where they are. As long as the missiles are enough, we have no chance..."

Three hundred kilometers? Zhao Guoqing just smiled. The old American habit of bragging has never changed. At most, it is a discount. But no matter what, a discount is very powerful. The detection range of more than 100 kilometers is also an instant kill of all domestic airborne radars. .

Zhao Zhongshu also talked about the Italian Aspaedus and the American Sparrow!

Aspad is the Viper medium-range air-to-air missile.

As Zhao Guoqing listened, what seemed to come to his mind?

The country spent more than 500 million US dollars to introduce the Weishe-3 short-range air-to-air missiles, and spent more than 500 million US dollars to cooperate with the American Grumman Corporation on the Peace Model Project. It hopes to install Western advanced radar avionics systems on the J-8 and cooperate with the United States. The AIM-7 Sparrow medium-range air-to-air missile is also under negotiation.

Because Sparrow Missile was unwilling to transfer technology, it spent a lot of money to introduce Italian Viper medium-range air-to-air missiles and a complete set of technologies three years later.

The idea has always been to build on existing fighter aircraft, transform avionics and introduce weapons to form combat and beyond visual range combat capabilities as quickly as possible.

This idea is correct, at least in Zhao Guoqing's view.

Beyond visual range combat does not have high requirements for the fighter platform. What is high requirements are the performance of the radar optoelectronic system and the technical performance of the air-to-air missile.

However, because of this, the "Peace Model" project in cooperation with Grumman Corporation was deceived by the United States for five years, resulting in a loss of nearly 300 million US dollars in precious foreign exchange.

"If there is a domestic breakthrough in phased array radar at this time, will the country lower its focus on the "Peace Model" project and focus on the turbofan engine and flight control system that Zhao Guoqing thinks is more important? ?”

By the way, the partner for the turbofan engine and flight control system is Rollson-Royce.

This is an old friend of China. As early as the 1970s, the country introduced Spey turbofan engines from Rolls-Royce and equipped them with Flying Leopard fighters.

Moreover, Rolls-Royce is very sincere in the cooperation and is willing to advance more than 10 million pounds for research on modification...

"National Day, National Day..."

"Well, Commander Zhao, what's wrong?"

"Are you listening carefully? Do you understand the 1553B data bus? Let me tell you, National Day, this data bus..."

Okay, let me hear what you have to say again, but a lot of what you said was reprocessed by yourself!

"Commander Zhao, the 1553B data bus standard used by the Weishe San air-to-air missile is used. The missile and radar are connected to the central computer of the aircraft through this bus standard!"

"..."

"How do you know about the three strange snake projects?"

"I remember that Institute 14 did not allocate research tasks in this area!"

"What happened during this time?"

Jingle bell…jingle bell…

Zhao Zhongshu picked up the phone.

"Hey, is this Master Zhao? I'm Ji Hongbo!"

"Lao Ji, tell me what's going on!"

"I want to see Zhao Guoqing, please help me make arrangements!"

"...?"
