Chapter 383 Opens a Brand New Door
Their thinking logic is that others are not allowed to surpass, and no threats are allowed. Their interests must be given priority.

The successful first flight of the Dragon fighter is the last thing they want to see. This is definitely not a good situation.

"Everyone, the overall performance of the Wyvern has completely surpassed our main fighters such as F16 and F18. In order to maintain our air superiority, we must take a series of measures."

The general Yingjiang said a lot in one breath, his tone was always very dignified and full of worry.

"Your Excellency, General, I suggest increasing sanctions against Leihuo Technology and Industry Group, including Lin Feng himself."

Many people shook their heads lightly.

If the sanctions are useful, they don’t need to sit here for a meeting to discuss. Someone immediately said, "This is not a good way, and increasing the sanctions will not achieve any substantive effect. We must think of other methods."

Sanctions are useless, so what to do.

Soon someone spoke again, "I suggest increasing the budget and increasing the procurement of fifth-generation fighters such as F22 and F35. In the next five years, we'd better deploy more than [-] fifth-generation stealth fighters."

This suggestion seems good.

There were buzzing voices in the conference room, and almost everyone was talking with the people next to them, discussing the feasibility of this suggestion.

Some people are shaking their heads, it seems that they do not agree with this, and some people are nodding, probably because they think this suggestion is good.

The beautiful country is currently the most developed country with the strongest economic strength in the world. It seems a good way to increase the budget and increase the number of fifth-generation fighters.

In the eyes of many people, no matter how good the Wyvern fighter is, it is also a fourth-generation fighter, and there is a generation gap with the fifth-generation stealth fighter. As long as the fifth-generation fighter maintains a certain number, their air superiority is still very obvious.

However, even if the beautiful state has money, the financial pressure will not be small.

Whether it is F22 or F35 fighters, their cost is not cheap. To increase the number of installations, the money needed is not a small amount.

The general who presided over the meeting did not nod, nor did he deny it. Maybe they should consider this suggestion carefully. He said loudly, "Everyone, do you have any other suggestions?"

Someone stood up and said, "I think, compared to increasing the number of fifth-generation stealth fighters, we have a more economical and affordable route, which is to upgrade the technology of fighters such as F16 and F18 to improve the overall performance."

They held a meeting for at least two or three hours, formed a lot of meeting resolutions, and put forward a lot of suggestions and measures.

Some people even suggested that instead of spending a lot of money to increase the number of fifth-generation stealth fighters, or spend a lot of money to upgrade the main fighters such as F16 and F18, it is better to order a large number of Dragon fighters from Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

R&D by yourself is worse than spending money to buy!

That's what he meant.

However, this suggestion was opposed by most people. They used to be number one in the world and were far ahead in the aviation industry. They were suddenly asked to purchase fighter jets from Leihuo Technology Industry Group, at least in their hearts.

Another point is that they will not do this out of national security considerations, and this suggestion was not written into the resolution of the meeting.

Maybe the military person who made the suggestion didn't think that even if the beautiful country wanted to buy the Wyvern fighter, Lin Feng might not necessarily sell it.

on the vast sea.

A refitted transport ship was sailing, and not far away, two warships followed.

The biggest difference between this transport ship and ordinary transport ships is its deck. Obviously, the deck is specially modified, very flat, like a big platform.

On one of the warships, several officers looked at the transport ship, and one of the colonels looked at it again and again with a telescope. As a senior naval commander, at this moment, his heart was beating a little.

The next thing to be done is the landing test of the Dragon fighter, which is also one of the many test flight projects of the Dragon fighter, mainly to verify its take-off and landing capabilities on sea ships.

In the mid-90s, let alone aircraft carriers, there were not even many guided missile destroyers. Many warships were old models, and there was a big gap with Western countries.

At least 20 years later, after the hard work of a generation of military workers, we have the 052D guided missile destroyer, the 055 large drive, the 075 amphibious assault ship, and the aircraft carrier.

In 1996, there was really nothing, not even many ships that could take off and land helicopters, and almost no ships that could take off and land Dragon fighter jets.

If not, it will be modified, and this is the reason for this large transport ship with a flat deck. Of course, such a deck width and length cannot be used for ordinary carrier-based aircraft to take off and land. Whether the Dragon fighter can take off and land requires experiments to know.

"Captain, today's wind and waves are not too small, and the test later should not cause any problems."

"Yeah, I think the risk is too great!"

"So far, we only have one prototype Wyvern. If something goes wrong, it will be serious."

"."

Everyone looked at the large transport ship not far away, with a bit of worry on their faces. This should be the largest transport ship that the navy can take out for landing tests, with a displacement of more than [-] tons.

But on the sea, even with a displacement of more than 1 tons, it will still shake to a certain extent under the action of wind and waves, which is also the difficulty, and there will be no such problem on the ground.

Everyone is an old bird with rich experience, so there are all kinds of worries in everyone's heart, and they are afraid that something will go wrong.

Captain Qin Yisong put down the binoculars in his hand, raised his hand to check the time, and ordered, "Report to the command center, we have reached the designated sea area."

The transport ship not far away also stopped and did not continue sailing. For the sake of safety, it still did not carry out the landing during the voyage, but the transport ship stopped on the sea to conduct a landing test.

There are quite a few technicians on the transport ship, including technicians in ship design and technicians from Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

The ship had stopped, and all the technicians became more busy, especially checking the shaking of the deck with instruments.

"Huang Gong, the shaking of the deck is a little bit too big, why don't we wait for the wind and waves to be smaller."

Huang Youwei is a supervisor technician of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group. He led the team to participate in this landing test. After looking at the measured data, he said with confidence, "I think there is no problem. It can be carried out completely. Landing test."

Now that Huang Youwei has said so, the experiment will begin, there is no need to wait for the wind and waves to calm down.

In future wars, the enemy will not wait for you to let your fighter plane land on the ship when the wind and waves calm down, but must be able to land on the ship in strong winds and waves, or even in bad weather.

Everyone has made all kinds of preparations, the technicians are in their positions, and the commanders on the two warships are also paying close attention to the situation here.

Qin Yisong didn't use binoculars anymore, because the distance is not far, only two to 300 meters away, so he can see clearly.

Not long after, there was movement in the sky, a fighter plane flew in from a distance, and the distance was getting closer and closer. Everyone could see that it was a dragon fighter plane.

"Our plane is coming!"

"I'm really excited. If the landing is successful, it will open a whole new door."

"Yeah, just thinking about it makes me excited."

"."

Under everyone's eager eyes, the Wyvern fighter plane flew over the transport ship, then slowed down, and began to prepare to land on the deck.

The height from the deck was getting lower and lower, and when it was only 30 to [-] meters away from the deck, the fighter even stopped for a while, adjusted its position slightly, and then landed firmly on the deck.

This, this is a success!

People who saw this scene had a strong unreal feeling in their hearts, the whole process was so smooth, as if it was a piece of cake.

You know, because of the wind and waves, the deck of the transport ship is still shaking slightly, and the Dragon fighter seems to be unaffected.

"Captain, it seems that the landing has been successful!"

Qin Yisong said a little excitedly, "It's not like it seems, but it's already succeeded!"

"It's unbelievable, it feels like a dream!"

"It's amazing, this deck is not too big, it can actually stop firmly in the middle of the deck!"

"I think all this is too easy for it, and it may not be a big problem if the deck is half as small!"

"."

When the officers and soldiers on the two warships saw this scene, they all felt as if they had been injected with chicken blood. As a navy, everyone knew the great significance of the successful landing test.

There was even more joy on the transport ship!
Huang Youwei also relaxed, and walked towards the Wyvern fighter plane. At this time, the fully transparent bubble-shaped canopy of the fighter plane had been opened, and the pilot got off the fighter plane.

"Old Liao, how do you feel?"

Several meters away, Huang Youwei asked loudly, and the pilot replied, "It's so easy, far easier than I imagined!"

"really?"

"Of course it is true. The performance of our Wyvern fighter jet is excellent, and its operability is also super strong. I feel that even in bad weather with strong winds and waves, it is estimated that it can land on such a deck."

Hearing this, Huang Youwei was relieved.

After checking and sorting out the relevant data, the pilot boarded the Wyvern fighter plane again soon after, and the fighter plane will take off from the deck.

Since there is a ship test, of course there is also a take-off test.

Other fighters need a runway, need to accelerate on the runway, and even need ejection devices, but our Wyvern fighter does not need it. It can take off and land vertically. A series of test verifications have proved that its vertical take-off and landing performance is very good, far from the Harrier The vertical take-off and landing capability of the Japanese fighter jet is comparable.

The experiment started again.

With the engine of the flying dragon started, Huang Youwei and the others could still feel the strong wind even if they were tens of meters away.

In everyone's eyes, the Wyvern slowly left the deck, and its altitude gradually increased. Then, its rising speed became higher and higher. After reaching a height of [-] meters, it quickly went away.

The takeoff test was successful!

Still so easy!

The transport ship was full of jubilation again, whether it was the people from Leihuo Technology Industry Group or the Ship Design Institute, everyone was extremely happy.

As you know, a whole new door has opened!
It is completely possible to design a large ship for the Dragon fighter, and then the Dragon fighter can take off and land on this large ship, such as a large amphibious assault ship, which can completely take off and land the Dragon fighter.

With the amphibious assault ship of the Dragon fighter, it is completely an aircraft carrier in the true sense, but its cost is much lower than that of an aircraft carrier.

On the warship, Qin Yisong didn't say a word, his eyes were still fixed on the direction of the transport ship, his heart was completely boiling!

As a naval commander, he deeply understands the significance of Dragon fighters being able to take off and land vertically on ordinary ships.

In the past, owning an aircraft carrier was the dream of many people, but now having a Wyvern fighter jet is equivalent to seeing hope. He knew that the success of this landing test will definitely soon consider the design and development of a corresponding large ship.

In the big villa.

Lin Feng was sitting in the study room, with a cup of steaming hot tea on the desk, and he was reading a thick professional book on ship design.

After watching for about two or three ten minutes, his cell phone rang, and Xie Kangquan called from the capital, "Mr. Lin, the landing test of our Wyvern fighter jet has been completed very beautifully, do you know?"

Feeling excited by Xie Kangquan, Lin Feng smiled, "Well, someone gave me a detailed report an hour ago."

Xie Kangquan said, "I never imagined that our Dragon fighter can take off and land on the deck of an ordinary ship so easily."

He praised the dragon fighter fiercely.

Lin Feng said, "Director Xie, do you have any ideas?"

Xie Kangquan said, "It's not just me who has an idea, but the higher-ups have the same idea. It may not be long before we will set up a project to develop a large ship specially designed for the take-off, landing and carrying of Wyvern fighters."

This is actually a kind of aircraft carrier.

With a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, it not only has a wide deck, but also has a huge hangar. It can carry at least dozens of Dragon fighters at a time, and if possible, it can also carry several Tianlong transport helicopters and Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopters.

It can be very different from ordinary aircraft carriers. It does not need a runway for fighter jets to take off and land, and does not need ejection devices, because Dragon fighter jets can take off and land vertically on the deck.

Lin Feng said, "It really means that."

Xie Kangquan asked, "Boss Lin, what's your opinion?"

Lin Feng said, "Owning an aircraft carrier is almost the dream of several generations. Of course I agree with this decision, and we, Leihuo Technology and Industry Group, fully support it!"

"Great."

Lin Feng expressed his support, and Xie Kangquan was relieved. He had already thought about it before making this call. If Lin Feng disagreed, he must persuade Lin Feng.

Well now, Lin Feng clearly agreed.

Xie Kang said, "Mr. Lin, you should be sure to develop the carrier-based version of the Dragon fighter."

The biggest difference between the carrier-based type and the ordinary type is the difference in wing design, that is to say, the wings of the carrier-based Wyvern fighter can be folded and stowed away, which takes up much less space.

The hangar of the same size, if the wings of the aircraft are folded, at least 50.00% more aircraft can be loaded.

Lin Feng is confident and content. The design of the carrier-based aircraft is not a big problem. The existing design team should be able to complete it without using the system at all.

"Director Xie, there is no problem with the design of the carrier-based aircraft, we are fully confident."

After receiving such a clear answer, Xie Kangquan felt more at ease, and the two talked on the phone for at least ten minutes.

After finishing the call, Lin Feng called Zhao Mingzhi again and ordered them to start the design of the carrier-based flying dragon.

This Dragon fighter has undergone a series of flight verifications in the field, including landing tests, plateau flight tests and so on.

As time passed day by day, everyone was looking forward to the roll-off of the second Wyvern fighter, as well as the roll-off and first flight of the first large military transport aircraft.

After staying in Shenhai City for more than a month, Lin Feng temporarily returned to Fenghuang City, while Hu Xiaoxiao's mother and son continued to stay in Shenhai City.

There was Lin Qiong's family and Lin Lan there, there was no need for Lin Feng to worry, even Lin Feng's parents were going to live there for a while, bringing Lin Lei and Hu Xiaoxiao with them.

For more than a month, Lin Feng was basically on vacation, and started working after returning to Leihuo Technology Industrial Group.

First, we discussed and exchanged with Zhao Mingzhi and others the design of the carrier-based version of the Wyvern fighter, and then the design work started in full swing.

The biggest change of the carrier-based version is in the wings, and there is no need to make changes in other places. The design of the Wyvern comes from the system, and the design is already perfect.

A few days after Lin Feng returned from Shenhai City, Leihuo Technology Industry Group ushered in another major event. The first CU1000 CNC five-axis machining center was manufactured.

After a very professional inspection, the performance of the machine tool is perfect, not only has its own operating system, but also has strong operability and first-class precision. It can be regarded as the world's first-class five-axis machining center.

This level of CNC five-axis is embargoed by Western countries, and they cannot be bought even if they have money. Now it is good, and the Leihuo Equipment Branch can manufacture it by itself.

In addition to the CU1000 model, there will be CU800 and CU600 CNC five-axis machining centers in the future.

The first CU1000 CNC machining center passed the acceptance inspection and met the factory standard. The Phoenix Factory immediately sent someone to send a car to tow it away. Two or three days later, the CNC equipment arrived at the Phoenix Factory and at the gate of the 406 workshop.

Their precision manufacturing plant is still under construction, and it will take at least a year before it is completed. This CU1000 CNC five-axis cannot be left there all the time, but it will be used in the 406 workshop first, and can process a series of Parts with high precision requirements and complex structures.

The arrival of this CNC lathe attracted a lot of people from the Phoenix Factory, and there were even a lot of people watching from the 406 workshop.

The tarpaulin that was originally tightly covered on the large truck was lifted, revealing a huge wooden packing box the size of half a container.

"It looks like this is a big piece of equipment!"

"Hey, it seems to be a numerical control device!"

"."

Not only the black font of CU1000 is very eye-catching on the packing box, but also there are words such as CNC. People who know how to know know that this is a CNC equipment.

When the tarpaulin was completely untied, everyone saw the words "Leihuo Equipment Branch" and the LOG of Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s [-] words again, can I have a few monthly tickets to support it, please everyone!
