Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

The high-tech smart command room is used as a conference room, which seems to be particularly suitable.

First of all, there is a screen in front of each seat, which saves the trouble of distributing materials, and the internal system is more confidential.

At the same time, due to the circular design, everyone is closer to the core position. If mimicry technology is needed for display, it is more intuitive than a regular conference room.

Of course, there is also a little momentum. Looking at it like the United Nations conference, everyone pays more attention to it.

This is the blessing brought by the "excellent environment". The same talents may show completely different levels when they hold a meeting in a garbage dump and a meeting in a palace.

Some people are accustomed to this place and sit quietly, while some people keep looking around and feel that everything they see is new.

Of course, there are also people who want to keep in touch. Most of the people here have worked with "Academician Zhou" and have an invisible cross-relationship network. They are all top figures in their respective fields and have a strong desire to get to know each other.

Zhou Rui gave everyone some time before walking in here.

Everyone immediately quieted down.

Those who were qualified called out "Academician Zhou" or "General Manager Zhou" to greet him.

Those who were not qualified also looked at him excitedly.

Zhou Rui looked around and felt that there were many talented people.

But when his eyes swept over Che Gan and his stupid T-shirt, his face trembled unconsciously.

When you get your salary, bring your tattered T-shirt!

The people gathered here are absolutely top-notch. It can be said that if a bomb is detonated, China's aviation and aerospace will go back 30 years.

Therefore, in the near future, the security and confidentiality measures of Wanhu Base will be raised to another level.

Meetings in special places naturally have special means. Zhou Rui stretched out his hand, and the "little flower shower" hidden in his sleeves turned into a metal stream, winding up his shoulders, and restored to the appearance of a "small shoulder cannon".

"Little flower shower, distribute some information to everyone."

The next moment, the screens in front of everyone were lit up.

A few words appeared.

"Xingtian Space Drone"

In the area belonging to Taitian Engineering, rocket expert Shan Chunyuan touched his chin.

Xingtian fighter plane? Does it mean "headless" or "unmanned" and "Xingtian" or "Xingtian"?

The boss's naming skills are still online

So was "Jingtian No. 1" named after drinking too much?

Zhou Rui clapped his hands, and everyone's eyes gathered again.

"Everyone, the concept of aerospace aircraft should be familiar to everyone, but what we are going to do this time may be different from many past ideas, and the most important point is: unmanned."

"When thinking about any problem, please take this as a premise first."

Many people nodded silently.

Zhou Rui: "I won't talk about the advantages of aerospace fighters, I will talk about the difficulties now.

First: the aerodynamic shape needs to adapt to the multi-domain atmospheric state. Even in the atmosphere, the physical properties of low altitude and high altitude are completely different. At present, the effective altitude of all fighters is hovering around 20 kilometers, and it must be at least 160 kilometers to be called "space".

Second: the power system must adapt to the dual state of aerobic and anaerobic. The combustion conditions in the atmosphere and space are completely different. If the difference between "low altitude" and "high altitude" is taken into account, it can even be called a "three-state" power system.

Third: the method of breaking through the atmosphere and returning to the atmosphere is more comprehensive. It must be considered in conjunction with the aerodynamic shape and the power system. If it is really not advisable, some tricks can also be chosen."

These three points are the biggest difficulties of aerospace fighters at present, and they are also the biggest reason for them to get together.

As for others, such as stealth problems, weapon problems, and control problems. Some can be simply solved by existing technologies, and some do not need to be considered at this stage.

"Some friends may have known it, but some may not know it yet. In fact, I have already completed the preliminary design of the aerodynamic shape of the Xingtian fighter, and obtained the results of wind tunnel verification."

Many people were stunned. For such a great thing, the aerodynamic shape has been designed?

You should know that the importance of the aerodynamic shape of an aircraft may account for 50% of the difficulty of the entire project!

Without the correct shape, it is meaningless to have other things fancy.

How did this aerodynamic shape come from? Naturally, Zhou Rui got it from the system space.

In April, he took advantage of this year's "similar purpose" and used the system's computing power for free to form a design drawing, but he did not consume the number of times he used it this year.

Because he didn't think he couldn't make this thing himself, there was no need to waste it.

He couldn't remember all the conditions inside the fighter, but the aerodynamic shape could be obtained for free. After reproducing it, he handed it over to Rongfei to blow the wind tunnel.

Zhou Rui didn't keep it a secret. He snapped his fingers, and a strange shape of the aircraft appeared on everyone's screen.

Many people exclaimed! Take a breath of cold air!

"Is this a variant waverider shape? Qian Xuesen ballistics?"

(Similar concept map)

Zhou Rui listened to the exclamation, gave everyone some time to digest, and then said:

"Correct!"

In fact, many elements in this shape are borrowed from "Qian Lao's manuscript".

As the founder of Qian Xuesen ballistics, waveriders, and supersonic aircraft, and a great man in the fields of aviation and aerospace, it is normal for Qian Lao himself to have some ideas about the "space plane".

Just as "Kong Tianji" is "extremely suitable" for Zhou Rui now, it was also "extremely suitable" for Mr. Qian back then.

However, conditions did not allow it at the time, so Qian Laobaojian made his own way and concentrated on missiles.

Some ideas about the "sky machine" are hidden in those "manuscripts" that seem to be wild and unconstrained.

It was only after the system gave the appearance that Zhou Rui discovered that it was surprisingly similar to the contents in some of Qian Lao's manuscripts.

Only then did I realize that when I was reading the manuscript, my knowledge structure had also been changed a lot and was absorbed and captured by the system.

This Xingtian fighter plane can be said to be completed by Zhou Rui and Qian Lao, who worked together for decades in time and space.

A meeting in this special space naturally requires some special assistance. Zhou Rui walked directly to the central circular platform.

From the silver barrel-shaped structure on the top, there was a rustling sound of metal collision, and the next moment, silvery ice spread downwards and landed on the surface of the platform.

Countless intelligent units changed on their own, finally forming a strange aircraft shape about two meters long.

It's exactly what the "Xingtian Fighter" looks like.

Zhou Rui walked up to the round stage and said, "This will make it more intuitive for everyone."

He touched the "little shower head" with his right hand, and as if he was connected with his mind, the little shower head turned into a metal rod. The diameter of four centimeters was a bit thick, just like a mop pole, but it could barely be used as a pointer.

Anyway, Zhou Rui is very powerful, and the mimic model of the "Xingtian Fighter" is not small either.

Zhou Rui pointed at the tail of the "Xingtian" and said: "The preliminary plan is that the power system of the Xingtian fighter is 'two groups of three states'."

It seems that there are only two tail engines, but in fact there is another one centered under the belly.

Bigger and shorter.

The engines on both sides are "sub-combustion/scramjet dual-mode ramjet engines", which are used to deal with low altitude, high altitude, low speed and high speed in the atmosphere.

This "dual-mode stamping" technology already exists in China, and it is a hypersonic cruise missile that is unique in the world.

This is the first time I have used it on an airplane.

Why?

Because airplanes are flown by humans, the scramjet engine must be above Mach 5 in order to use pressure to inject oxygen into the engine for full combustion, so that sufficient oxidant can still be obtained under hypersonic speeds and thin atmosphere.

Mach 5 is its starting point. If it is lower, it will not work at all. The best working condition is above Mach 10.

How can any pilot resist this speed? You tie a bag of flour and go up there, and when you come back, it can be pressed into biscuits.

Even if you can resist, you can't make any maneuvers and can only fly in a straight line. It's just like an astronaut. He is tied to a stool and resists. He can't do anything. It's good if he doesn't lose consciousness.

But unmanned aerial vehicles, yes!

"Subburn mode" is used for low-speed start, and "scramjet mode" is used for extreme acceleration. In the atmosphere, a ramjet engine can produce four times the thrust of a rocket engine with the same fuel.

But when you enter space, you will lie down again because there is no oxygen there. This is why the rocket will not use a "scrambus engine".

So there is the third power mode of "Xingtian", a small rocket engine.

Since the main combat scenario of the aerospace fighter is still in the atmosphere (after all, the enemy is still in the atmosphere), the orbit is only its transfer station or starting point, so the third power module does not need to be as huge as a rocket.

Similar to the requirements of "Mortise and Tenon", it only needs to be able to complete maneuvers on orbit. Of course, the actual maneuverability will definitely far exceed that of "Mortise and Tenon".

In the command center, Qiu Lixun looked at it very seriously. He was an engine expert, so he must be responsible for this part.

Dual-mode + rocket engine. To be precise, "tri-mode"? This is really challenging.

Even if sub-fuel/scrambus/rocket engines are all existing technologies, integrating the three together is still a big project.

However, the internal structure of the drone can be maximized, and mechanical intelligence can also simplify the original control system.

There is a door!

As expected of Master Zhou's design, he never throws out "imaginary ideas" that the industrial system cannot complete. No matter Bi Fang, Kun Peng, or Xing Tian, ​​they are all the kind that may seem too dreamy at first glance, but they have clear routes to follow.

Zhou Rui continued: "There is also a very important point. In order to maximize fuel savings and increase speed, the Xingtian fighter is a variable-wing aircraft."

After saying that, he held the iron rod turned into a small shower head and clicked on the wings of the mimic model. He saw that this already compact Xingtian fighter plane had its wings folded inwards and turned into something closer to a "missile". Or the structure of a "rocket".

Like a bold version of the Dongfeng missile, or a short rocket with a waverider warhead.

It seems that he didn't pay attention when he was waving, and the small shower stick hit the mimic model, and a smart unit on the wing was somewhat displaced.

The small shower stick surged, and a tentacle formed at the end. When Zhou Rui wasn't paying attention, he carefully pressed the smart unit back, as if he had completed a puzzle.

Then he immediately shrank back and continued to act like an ordinary iron rod.

Wang De looked at the transformed "Xingtian Fighter" attentively. This was obviously a problem that he would be involved in in the future.

Transforming wing fighters have very high requirements on materials, technology, and design.

However, if it is a drone, there should be some structural simplification.

Coupled with the control of "mechanical intelligence" and the experience accumulated by the J-20.

Rui Ge really should be the one to make this aerial fighter plane, others really can’t play with it!

To help everyone understand, Zhou Rui also let the simulation model show a flight route "from the ground to space".

Takeoff is still a regular ground runway, and the "sub-combustion mode" is working at this time.

After leaving the ground, it quickly climbs and accelerates. When it exceeds Mach 5, the "supercombustion mode" is activated.

At the same time, the attitude is adjusted, the wings are retracted, and it turns into a "small rocket".

Then it flies out of the atmosphere. At this time, the appearance is no longer important. The wings can be unfolded or maintained.

The "rocket power mode" works and makes maneuvering adjustments. Then the "Xingtian fighter" enters a huge, hexagonal long tube.

Hmm? Why does it seem that something is wrong?

Wang De held it in for a long time, and couldn't help raising his hand and said: "Academician Rui Zhou, what is this hexagonal long tube structure?"

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "This is somewhat related, so I will tell you about it."

"This is the transformed Nantianmen, or it can be the "aerospace mothership" that will carry the Xingtian fighter in the future, which is transformed from the orbital mechanical platform."

"You can call it for now."

Collect a name for the orbital mothership
