Great warships

Chapter 933 You can walk sideways from now on

"We plan to use the most advanced avionics system on it, such as airborne radar, which must be an active phased array radar." Mao Duanzhang introduced again.

The H[-]K and H[-]J outside use flat-panel slot radars. After all, the technology of this antenna has matured, and the efficiency is not bad at the price of cabbage.However, a tall weapon like a stealth bomber must use more advanced ones.

"Moreover, considering the reliability issue, we proposed to the relevant units that the radar used by this bomber adopts dual redundancy technology and consists of two complete radars, each of which has its own independent antenna and transmitter. , receiver, signal processor, and the two radars can work alternately or together, so that the success rate of mission execution can be greatly guaranteed."

Qin Tao said with emotion: "The Air Force has spent a lot of money."

One radar is enough to burn money, but two are needed, and they can work independently. How much will it cost?

Look at the bombers outside. One flat-panel gap radar is enough, but here they actually use two phased array radars. It's a luxury. It's a luxury.

"This is also based on the plan of the American B2 bomber." Elder Lin said: "This is the most elite strategic bombing force of the Air Force. If you fly all the way there and find that the radar is broken, wouldn't it be a delay? There must be A backup. However, the most expensive thing is the radar antenna. Two radar antennas are actually the same as a large radar antenna, so overall, it doesn’t cost much. If our bomber is equipped with a flat plate slot Radar, that’s not high-end enough.”

Qin Tao didn't continue talking, but looked at the cockpit: "How many people are sitting inside."

The bomber outside is seated by four people. This is also due to the need to perform missions. After all, after the bomber has a long range, it needs to work with each other. If the pilot is tired, there will be a replacement. The navigator behind must also be professional. Hands also have to operate complex electronic devices.On long-distance flights, four people can still be a companion.

What now?
How many people are there in this more advanced bomber?
"Two people are enough." Mao Duozhang said: "In order to meet the needs of long-distance flights, we have left a space behind the pilot's seat, which can be stuffed into a small toilet. A microwave oven for heating, the pilot would love."

The big guy was a little surprised.

What should the pilot do if he is in a hurry?
In the past in China, this kind of situation would not have been encountered, because at that time domestic fighter planes had short legs, and the range was only more than 1000 kilometers. After -27, there was no flight for a long time, and even the first half of the flight recorder tape was worn abnormally.

Later, with the transition from homeland air defense to offensive and defensive, the range of the air force became longer and longer, and there was a need to fly in the air for a long time.

Similar to the Air Police 2000 early warning aircraft, it can have the bathroom on the passenger plane, which is very convenient, but there is no such thing as a small aircraft.Similar to the cockpit of a fighter jet, there is no choice at all. The only way to perform long-distance flight missions is to use diapers. Even if it is the H-[-]K and H-[-]J outside, there is no choice but to hold back.

Now that this stealth bomber is in front of me, it’s not enough to hold it back or use diapers. According to Mr. Lin’s request at the time, if the bomber can fly to the opposite side and come back, it will take [-] kilometers to go back and forth, and it has to rely on air refueling. accomplish.

This stealth bomber uses a unique four-engine layout, four for take-off and two for midway cruise to save fuel, but it takes more than a dozen or even twenty hours to perform missions, and it is impossible for the pilots to be inconvenient.

There must be a toilet.

Don’t even think about the bathroom, a simple toilet is enough, and in order to save weight, it’s either a flush toilet or an ordinary bucket with a seat cushion. When you use it, put it in a bag, tie the bag up and put it in the cabinet next to it Here, come down and take them away together.

"Isn't this too simple?" Everyone came to the iron shelf and looked down at the bomber and the small toilet inside. Wu Shengli couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Simplicity? This is much better than B2, which uses a stainless steel bowl."

It's not a stainless steel basin, but a stainless steel bowl!This stainless steel bowl is not a stainless steel basin, you can tell how small it is just by the name.

Hearing what Qin Tao said, everyone was very curious: "Boss Qin, how do you know?"

The leak of B2 was very early, but that was only the appearance of the leak, and no one knew what happened inside.

How did Mr. Qin know that the pilot used a stainless steel bowl?
"Listen to others." Qin Tao's answer was very simple. The other person could be Draenor or someone else. In short, there are many ways for Qin Tao to obtain information. Besides, this will not involve leaking secrets.

"A microwave oven is also necessary. You need to maintain your strength for a long-distance flight." Veteran Lin brought the topic back: "It's been half an hour now, let's go, let's go eat."

"Eat? Old Lin, if you're hungry, go and eat first. We haven't seen enough yet." Wu Shengli waved his hand.

"Hey, I just made it clear."

"You said it, we didn't refuse you, you go to eat first, by the way, I have asked the secretary to take Moutai to the cafeteria, you can drink as much as you want there, it doesn't matter if you drink it all." Wu Shengli continued: "The above is almost enough, we haven't looked at the inside yet, how much can this stomach hold? Didn't Lao Lin say that more than 40 tons of bombs will be hung? Can it be hung?"

How many tons of bombs can be hung is not only determined by the take-off capability, but also by the capacity of the bomb bay. If the volume of the bomb bay is not enough, you will not be able to hang as many bombs as you want.

"We use the traditional belly bomb bay." Mao Duanzhang introduced: "In order to load more missiles to the maximum, we extended the length of the bomb bay to 7.5 meters. There is a bomb bay on the left and right sides of the belly of the aircraft. When using the pylon of the revolver, the rotating pylon system placed in each bomb bay can mount 12 missiles, a total of 24 missiles. The active air-launched cruise missiles They can all fit in."

The bomb bay of the B-2 bomber is only 6.25 meters long, and it is also arranged left and right. When it was originally designed, it was only used to mount the B61 bomb. This is a nuclear bomb with a weight of more than 300 kilograms. It is continuously adjustable between 34 tons and 2 tons. It is still a thermonuclear weapon. Each bomb bay of the B-100 can carry eight bombs. Of course, it can also carry a single B83 with a [-] million-ton equivalent. In short, this bomber has just appeared. At the time, it was for the purpose of fighting a nuclear war.

出来之后红色帝国已经解体了，所以美国人又改进了B-2的挂架，可以在里面一次性挂进去80枚230公斤的MK82无制导航弹，也可以挂载16枚900公斤级的GBU-31型JDAM航弹。

In order to have a longer range, this bomber of the East is larger, so that the bomb bay is also elongated. The 7.5-meter-long bomb bay can mount more weapons, and there is still enough length and depth inside. .

At this time, after hearing Mao Duanzhang's introduction, the big guy was envious again. When the internal pylon is mounted, it can carry 24 cruise missiles. This kind of capability is not available in the H-[-]J. The H-[-]J is equipped with cruise missiles. Sometimes, it is mainly hung under the outer wing.

If 24 anti-ship missiles are stuffed in, it can wipe out an aircraft carrier formation. Does the navy have to come with a few more?

"You've seen everything you need to see, can you go?" Mr. Lin urged again.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at the built-in rack..."

After another half an hour, the people who were still full of thoughts left reluctantly. Qin Tao looked at Mao Duanzhang: "Old Mao, let's go have a drink together!"

"No, I still have to watch the final assembly."

"Maotai, the most expensive wine, a bottle is 8888, let's go!"

Mao swallowed his saliva in pieces, but still couldn't hold it back: "Okay, I'll go have dinner together, and I'll also give a report to the leaders by the way."

Talking about things at the wine table is an oriental culture, and Mao is used to it.

Qin Tao brought Mao Duanzhang and others to the cafeteria together.

Factory 172 is very large, and there are several staff canteens, one of which has a private room. At this time, a group of people came to this canteen with a private room, continuing to be enthusiastic.

It's not important to eat or something, they are still discussing, fortunately there are no people in the private rooms around, and there are security guards outside, even if they are talking, no one outside can hear them.

Qin Tao opened the wine bottle with a smile, and immediately, the fragrance of Moutai filled the whole room. Qin Tao first poured wine for Mr. Lin, then poured wine for the old man, and poured the third glass of wine for Mao Duanzhang.

"How long has it been since we built the prototype of this project?" Qin Tao asked after passing the wine glass.Mao Duanzhang sniffed it with his nose, good wine!

"It will take more than half a year, and many accessories are not yet in place. After the prototype is built, various sliding tests will be done. If it goes well, it should be able to fly into the sky in a year." After Mao Duanzhang finished speaking, he still couldn't hold back. , raised his neck, and drank all the wine into his mouth in one gulp.

"More than a year? We still have to wait for a long time." Wu Shengli said with emotion: "However, this progress is fast enough, and the research and development of Yankees is probably not as fast as ours."

"Yes, our aviation research and development strength has reached the world's first echelon."

"Speaking of which, after the test flight in the future, can you fly a longer distance?" Qin Tao said: "For example, fly to the opposite side and make a circle, and then fly back."

"Boss Qin, what you are talking about, we have already flown it with the current stealth aircraft, and the radar over there can't see anything." An officer present said.

"The opposite side I'm talking about is not across the strait, but across the Pacific Ocean."

The officer blushed instantly.

The pattern, this is the pattern, in the eyes of Mr. Qin, of course, things that are directly placed thousands of miles away, hundreds of kilometers away, have long been out of his sight.

Mr. Lin cheered up: "I think it will work, I will fly when the time comes!"

Although Mr. Lin has passed the retirement age for several years, his body is still strong. When he came to take charge of the stealth bomber project, he told his superiors that when it was developed, he would be a test pilot!

In the future, excuse the failure of the navigation system, fly over to have a look and then fly back!

Elder Lin's eyes were full of excitement. Mr. Qin is amazing, and he can always say something that interests him.

"Mr. Lin, you have to be careful." Qin Tao said: "This kind of navigation error and then accidentally flying over is a big deal. You may be punished after you come back, and you may never be allowed to fly."

"Even if you don't let me fly again after you come back, it's worth it!" Mr. Lin was still in high spirits. At this age, I still worry about why I won’t be allowed to fly in the future.”

After finishing speaking, he looked at the people present again: "I'm just talking about these words for fun. If someone passes it to the superiors for me, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people."

"Our navy will not intervene in your air force's affairs." Wu Shengli said on the spot.

"That's right, but we have to notify you in advance. It would be best if our navy's aircraft carrier formation happens to be training in the Pacific Ocean, so we can take care of it." Qin Tao said, "Okay, that's all for now. , let us raise our glasses together, to the progress of the strategic bomber!"

"Come on, cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

"In the future, the Air Force has such a big killer, so it can walk sideways, and our navy has to stand aside." Wu Shengli sighed.

"Our Air Force has strategic bombers, and your Navy also has aircraft carriers." Mr. Lin said: "In comparison, our Air Force saves money. Your one aircraft carrier can build as many bombers. Now, defense funds have been going to your Navy. Tilt, I don’t know how many people have big opinions.”

Wu Shengli smiled. This topic cannot be continued, otherwise it will involve conflicts between the navy and air force. Compared with many countries, the military services in the East are already very friendly.

"President Qin, I should retire after this project is over." Mao Duanzhang said, "However, if I don't touch the plane for a day, I feel itchy in my heart. Next, do we have any other projects?"

In fact, Mao Duanzhang has already passed the age of retirement, and he has been fighting on the front line just out of love. He is very satisfied with the project he has developed now, but what next?What's the next project?
"Aeroplane." Qin Tao said, "We need an advanced aircraft that can fly out of the atmosphere and reach any place in the world within an hour."

The big guy was shocked there, Mr. Qin, the plane you launched at the air show last time was clearly designed to fool the outside world.

"Old Mao, don't listen to Boss Qin fooling around. Without an advanced engine, this kind of project would never have happened." Elder Lin said, "Let's talk about the improvement of our H[-]."

"Improve?"

"That's right, after it's built, it definitely needs continuous improvement. Do you have any ideas about the improvement of this bomber?"

"The mission performed by the bomber is very dangerous. If there is an opportunity in the future, it can be changed to a drone."

"Didn't you say you want to build a carrier-based unmanned bomber? It looks very similar to this one?"

"That's right, when the technology of unmanned bombers is mature, it can be transplanted. If the pilot performs this kind of mission, if something goes wrong, there will be big trouble. It is better to have unmanned pilots. In the future, our artificial intelligence will continue to develop. The bomber could also be intelligent."

If there is no one, even if the bomber is shot down, it is only a loss of the bomber, but if there are people, there will be a lot of problems: what if the pilot is caught?The pilot died, what about the remains?If not handled properly, it will affect morale.

There is no such problem with no one.

"artificial intelligence?"

"That's right, our bombers need to have artificial intelligence, which is completely different from the model airplanes that require remote control. When flying to the other side of the earth, the remote control here is too late. It must be autonomous, from predicting combat time, intelligence collection, missions, etc. All aspects of planning, navigation and location selection, weapon delivery, and communication with command agencies are intelligent, without human intervention at all."

Speaking of this, of course the Mingzhou Group is the strongest, and Qin Tao introduced it to everyone.

"The bomber can receive information from various reconnaissance systems before take-off or during cruise, and at the same time, use its own various sensors to fuse information through intelligent algorithms to determine the target to strike, and then according to the target In this process, the distance, weather conditions, air defense situation near the target, etc. should be considered comprehensively, and then automatically fly over. When the weapon is released, it will also independently select the required This includes not only conventional bombs, guided bombs, and missiles, but also weapons such as lasers in the future. Of course, the final decision rests with the base, whose command system can monitor the entire process and intervene in real time."

"It seems to be listening to science fiction." Mr. Lin gave a summary. Everything is done intelligently. Is this possible?This is not an autopilot system, there are too many smart devices in it.

"That's right, if people 100 years ago came to our era, they would also find that everything here is science fiction." Qin Tao said: "Our future products, of course, now seem to be science fiction."

"Yes, the development of technology is constantly leaping in the shape of steps. Our future world is also science fiction from the current perspective!" Lin Lao raised his glass: "Then I wish everyone present here to create more! Sci-fi, you can also see more sci-fi!"

At this moment, suddenly, someone hurried over.

"Report, our H-[-] plan may have been leaked, and foreign media have already started publishing our H-[-] development project!"

Everyone was shocked. If they hadn't just arrived, then these people on our side would also be the target of suspicion!It’s not a good experience to come to see an advanced bomber only to be suspected of leaking secrets.

Over the years, the economy has continued to develop, and more and more people can no longer resist the attack of sugar-coated bullets.
