Chapter 781 Mr. Lin’s suggestion (fifth update)
"Dear viewers in front of the TV, I am very excited today. We accepted the invitation from the relevant departments and participated in the most monumental first flight ceremony of the Baidi space plane. Now, the plane behind me is the Baidi The aerospace plane was displayed as a model at the air show a few months ago, and now it has the ability to fly!"
Zhang Zhong held a microphone in his hand and stood in front of the camera. Behind him was the famous Baidi space plane. At this time, he was in a particularly excited mood.
"After the air show ended, many people had doubts about our Baidi aerospace plane, thinking that this kind of aerospace plane was impossible and should appear in science fiction novels. Now, we use facts To break some people’s arbitrariness, since we can develop fourth-generation aircraft, we can also develop fifth-generation aircraft. In the fourth-generation aircraft, we have caught up with the world’s number one, and in the field of fifth-generation aircraft, we have begun to surpass !”
“Now, let’s go around the plane and photograph the details of this aircraft.”
"As you can see, the pitot tube on its nose is somewhat complicated. For an aircraft under test, a lot of data needs to be measured, so it needs to have a complex pitot tube, like antlers. However, This device will definitely be canceled after it is officially mass-produced.”
“Let’s look at its fuselage. This machine is so huge. Every time I stand next to it, I feel how small I am.”
“Let’s take a look at its wings. The butterfly wings are the best choice for stealth aircraft. Although it is an aerospace aircraft, it still has not given up its pursuit of stealth capabilities.”
"The last thing is the engine. In our last interview, we saw the core machine of the engine being tested. The development of this engine will take a long time. Therefore, this aerospace aircraft that flew for the first time will use Ordinary turbofan engines first conduct test flights in the atmosphere. After the test flights in the past few years are completed, our engines have matured. At that time, we will conduct test flights outside the atmosphere. Therefore, during the first flight, everyone The detonation engine cannot be seen, and the pilot cannot experience the unique rhythmic propulsion of the detonation engine. Now, it’s time for us to interview the chief test pilot of this aircraft!”
"In the East, there is already a complete test flight team, and the Comrade Lei we are interviewing now is even more outstanding in this field." Zhang Zhong talked gushingly: "He has tested many fighter jets, and we imported them in the early years. When the Strange Snake-3 was unable to match the J-7 fighter, it was he who found the source of the problem during the test flight and solved the problem of the engine stalling every time the missile was fired. After that, he tested many aircraft, including ours He is also the chief test pilot of the J-31A, and now, he is also the chief test pilot of our Baidi aerospace plane. He not only wants to fly in the sky, but also can fly into outer space!"
The camera has turned, and a pilot wearing a unique one-piece flight suit walked over.
He was holding his helmet, and you could see the smile on his face.
“Leizi, today we are going to test-fly this most advanced aerospace aircraft. What do you think?” Zhang Zhong asked Lei Qiang.
"This kind of flight suit is too bulky." Lei Qiang said: "It took me half an hour to put it on with the help of others. Moreover, this was because I was only flying in the atmosphere and at a low altitude, so I didn't receive oxygen. To remove nitrogen, if it is a formal flight, then my pre-flight preparations will be more tedious."
“Excuse me, why is this flight suit so cumbersome?”
"Of course it's because I'm going to outer space. Although this is an airplane, the actual operation is similar to that of an astronaut. The flight suit I'm wearing is like an astronaut's in-cabin space suit. At that time, the pilots of the American U-2 and SR-71 were also dressed in this way. However, these aircraft have been retired now. Only our aircraft have repeated this process. Fortunately, the technology is more advanced now, such as My helmet was made using 3D printing technology and perfectly matches my head shape..."
Lei Qiang introduced it nonstop for a long time, laughing several times and reshooting several times. After all, he is not as professional as others, and he will not feel ridiculous if he talks nonsense seriously.
“Thank you Comrade Lei for the introduction. Now, the first flight is about to begin. Let us wish him success!”
The camera turned and some people appeared next to the plane.
If it were an aircraft developed by the military, a large group of military bosses should be here to see it off at this time. However, so far, this aircraft is only a self-developed project of the Mingzhou Group, so those who came to participate in this ceremony are mainly He is a member of the Mingzhou Group.
Qin Tao stood at the front, shaking hands with Lei Qiang, and then the chief designer. When everyone finished shaking hands, Lei Qiang gave a military salute and then walked to the plane.
The canopy closed slowly, Lei Qiang waved goodbye to the outside for the last time, and then nothing could be seen.
“Stuck!” someone called the doctor.
The canopy was reopened and Lei Qiang took off his helmet. At this time, there were dense beads of sweat on his head.
“I’m so hot. Quick, help me take off these clothes!” Lei Qiang shouted.
The astronaut's flight suit inside the cabin is also very complicated. It not only needs to be sealed, insulated, but also dissipated. Therefore, there is also a circle of water pipes wrapped around it. And now, Lei Qiang's flight suit only looks like That's it, there's nothing inside, it's airtight, so of course it'll be very hot.
Especially, there is no air conditioning equipment in the cockpit. After the lid is closed, it becomes a steamer.
The ground staff helped Lei Qiang out, and then quickly took off his clothes. After taking them off, he finally let out a long breath: "Mr. Qin, if there is such an event in the future, find someone else to participate. I I don’t want to suffer anymore.”
"You are our chief test pilot. Who else would we look for if we didn't look for you? Is it credible to look for someone else? This is your honor."
"From now on, if the cowhide is punctured, I will be criticized by thousands of people."
"How is that possible? If you want to talk about bragging, Reagan was bragging about Star Wars even more. Look, is anyone saying bad things about him now? In the future, even if the truth is revealed, no one will say bad things about you. Let's talk about it. In the future, the worst we can do is say that the research and development of this project failed. Who can guarantee that every project will be successful?"
Look at the aircraft flying in the sky now. It seems that there are many models. In fact, there are even more aircraft that have not reached the final state! Various testing machines were sealed in dust after testing.
F-16 has verified the canard layout, Sukhoi has developed forward-swept wings, and there are countless models that have not been successful in China. It is very common for one model to fail.
Now, after hearing what Qin Tao said, Lei Qiang nodded, okay, what Mr. Qin said seems to make sense.
While the two were chatting, others were busy and continued to test other components. Half an hour later, Zhao Dangsheng came over and reported: "Mr. Qin, the final inspection before takeoff has been completed and it is ready to take off!"
“Okay, let’s fly up and take a look.” Qin Tao said.
"yes!"
The camera is focused on the Baidi space plane, and its first flight is about to begin!
The engines roared one after another. After a few seconds of idling test, the aerospace aircraft, which had been aligned with the center line of the runway, opened the throttle fully and began to taxi on the runway.
Forward, then forward, faster and faster, faster and faster, the front landing gear was raised, then the rear landing gear, and finally, the entire plane left the runway.
Flying!
“Dear viewers, this is a memorable moment. The Baidi aerospace plane left the runway and took off!” Zhang Zhong’s voice was very excited: “The era of the aerospace plane has arrived!”
“Oh, **** it!” At this moment, a voice followed.
Everyone watched in surprise as the Baidi aerospace plane just left the runway, and its nose suddenly drooped.
There must be something wrong with the modification in such a short time. The flight control program belongs to the drone of a brother unit. After transplanting it, it was used with simple modifications. Who would have thought that something would go wrong just after taking off.
Of course, the biggest possibility is not the flight control program, but the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft itself. Only by blowing through tens of thousands of wind tunnels can the shape of the aircraft be thoroughly understood, and then the corresponding control program can be written.
The current makeshift method is indeed unreliable!
The nose of the aircraft touched the ground, then broke off, and flew out. The front landing gear was still strong enough, and the support pillars absorbed the impact of the fall. Then the main landing gear also landed, and the aircraft began to taxi on the runway.
The plane without a nose was taxiing forward. This sight was so spectacular that everyone’s hearts were clenching as they watched the plane hit a row of scrapped car tires at the end of the runway and finally came to a stop.
Fortunately nothing serious happened! Zhao Dangsheng felt lingering fear in his heart. Next time he would never be so crazy with Mr. Qin.
"It seems pretty good. The nose of the aircraft should still be reattached, right?" Qin Tao didn't care at all: "In the future, it will be pulled out occasionally to prove that our aircraft is still being tested."
“President Qin, you have such a big heart.” Zhao Dangsheng couldn’t help complaining.
"If you think about it, we can break the nose of our plane on our first flight. If foreigners follow suit and build an aerospace plane like ours, even their pilots may fall to death on the runway. Thinking about this scene, I think full of expectation."
Zhang Zhong felt a chill in his heart, Mr. Qin was so cruel!
Qin Tao turned to look at Zhang Zhong: "The next thing is left to you. Edit it as soon as possible and broadcast it as soon as possible. We want to show the outside world the power of our aircraft."
"Understood." Zhang Zhong said: "Mr. Qin, we are professionals in doing this kind of thing, and we guarantee that the secret will not be revealed."
Qin Tao nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you. Remember, this matter is of great importance and you must do it well!"
At this time, it is of great significance to show the first flight of the aerospace plane to the outside world! This is to tell some countries that if they are not kind-hearted, they must think about the consequences. We also have the ability to reach the world!
“Mr. Qin, your plan is slipping away!” Just when Qin Tao was about to return to the capital, someone came to him to make fun of him.
If he hadn't met the real person, Qin Tao would have definitely forgotten: After Mr. Lin retired, he came to develop the H-20 together! Mr. Lin was very excited to be able to personally participate in this project. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to it and forgot about other things.
Qin Tao's coming was originally a secret, so he didn't tell Mr. Lin. It wasn't until now that something went wrong during the test flight and it was so busy here that Mr. Lin noticed what had happened and that Qin Tao had come over, so he ran over. .
Mr. Lin is so smart that he quickly understood the purpose of Qin Tao's actions and was very moved.
“Why are you so surprised to see me? You must have forgotten me, right?” Mr. Lin said with a smile.
Of course he was joking, but seeing Qin Tao's apologetic expression, he also muttered, has this kid really forgotten me?
"The world has not been peaceful recently. At this time, it is perfectly okay to show our strength. However, after all, the Baidi aerospace plane has just made its first flight, and there is still a long way to go before it is put into service. If you want For more deterrence, it is better to take this opportunity to publicly display the H-6K and H-6J. This kind of aircraft used to be very secretive, and pilot training and the like had to be carried out at night. Now that it is made public, it can Now that it’s daytime, we can get back on track.”
Qin Tao's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, this is a good opportunity!
The H-6K has been displayed to the outside world before. However, this product is a modified version of the H-6 with an engine replacement. It is not a replica of the Tu-22M. Although the R&D team has long wanted to make it public, it has been No chance.
Now, the wait is finally here!
If you don’t show it now, how long should you wait? When it’s time to show your sword, you have to show it!
Qin Tao is full of expectations.
"Mr. Lin, your proposal is very good. I will propose it to my superiors."
Mr. Lin nodded: "I have also written a letter and forwarded it to the relevant departments on my behalf. Although I no longer work in these institutions, I still have some face."
Looking at the sealed letter that Mr. Lin took out from his pocket, Qin Tao was very surprised: "Mr. Lin, you are building bombers here and you still care about the outside world?"
Mr. Lin smiled: "Why do we build bombers? It's not for the peace of the world. Although I am retired, I don't have Alzheimer's disease yet. I still pay close attention to the international situation. Some people still have illusions and think that we can be like Like in the 1980s, huh, we are not from the same group after all, and our rise will inevitably attract special attention from many people. At critical times, we still have to rely on ourselves."
Qin Tao nodded: "Mr. Lin, if you don't retire, you can still work for another twenty years!"
“If you work for another twenty years? Then it will become a red empire?” Mr. Lin shook his head with a smile.
The two met in a hurry this time and did not sit down to drink together. However, everyone is working hard for the same cause, which is to make the motherland strong! Therefore, everyone will no longer worry about those vain things.
Qin Tao returned to the capital and was greeted by a team composed of the navy and air force.
"Mr. Qin, we have listened to Secretary Zhao's report." Air Force leader Liu Lao said to Qin Tao: "You predicted the next change in the situation. After careful deduction, we believe that this situation is likely to occur. .”
Everyone attaches great importance to it. The Gulf War in 1991 awakened all those with illusions. Since then, new military changes have begun and efforts have been made to build a modern army. Now, nine years have passed, those powerful The power has become stronger now, what about our own side?
"Yes, Mr. Qin, we are wondering if it is possible for your Mingzhou Group to send one or two stealth aircraft over to test the combat capabilities of our stealth aircraft on the battlefield." Another Air Force leader said.
ˆ He said it was Mingzhou Group, but in fact the allusion was very clear.
Qin Tao shook his head.
“What, Mr. Qin, do you have no confidence in the fourth-generation stealth aircraft you produced?”
"No, everyone, after these years of research, everyone should know that air combat is definitely not a confrontation between a few aircraft, but a confrontation between the entire system. Even if we send a few stealth aircraft, there will be no Without electromagnetic power, there is no air supremacy. At most, a stealth aircraft can act as an assassin in the dark. It may be able to shoot down a few aircraft, but does this make sense?"
Everyone was silent.
"They only have a dozen MiG-29s, and they can't stop the enemy's attack at all. Relying on ground air defense is doomed to fail." After a long time, a person sighed.
"This is the tragedy of a weak country, so we must build a strong motherland and build strong air power." Qin Tao said: "What we can do is quietly observe the entire world and slowly develop and grow. Of course, Now, when it’s time to show your sword, you must also use your sword.”
“Show the sword?”
“Mr. Qin, you publicly demonstrated the first flight of the Baidi aerospace plane. Is this a bright sword?”
"This is not enough." Qin Tao said: "We have to do more. Now taking advantage of this opportunity, our H-6K and H-6J should be displayed to the outside world."
If you talk about the H6K alone, you may still understand it as a facelift of the old model. However, if you talk about the two together, there is only one model!
"Until now, these models have been very concealed, which has put a great burden on our aviation forces. Operations need to be carried out at night, which is more dangerous. With the expansion of the fleet size, it is no longer possible for us to continue like this. We have done it, and now it is necessary to take this opportunity to publicly display our results." Qin Tao said: "I have a letter from Mr. Lin here, which I will pass on to you now."
Letter from Mr. Lin?
Everyone became serious.
Leader Liu personally took the letter and opened it. Inside was his familiar handwriting.
Dear Air Force leaders and colleagues:
The world is undergoing tremendous changes. I am very fortunate that our air force has developed. We have fourth-generation stealth aircraft, we have strategic bombers, we are also developing stealth bombers, and we have better capabilities. Protect the skies of our motherland. Now, I think it’s time for the new H-6K to be publicly displayed, for the following reasons.
…
Leader Liu read it once and handed it to the people around him: "Read it to everyone!"
Everyone present held their breath and listened carefully.
"The biggest role of the H-6K is strategic deterrence. It has a long range, a large bomb load, and strong penetration capabilities. It can fully undertake the task of deterring potential enemies. This is unmatched by the H-6. Now, we are publicly displaying it to the outside world. This kind of bomber can greatly enhance our national and military power and deter some people who do evil to us..."
After reading this letter, the conference room fell into silence again.
This matter is not trivial. Once it is really displayed in public, it will definitely cause a global sensation. Of course, there is no need to consider Lao Maozi's feelings.
The J-15s and J-16s now being mass-produced are all produced without authorization by Lao Maozi. Lao Maozi does not dare to say anything if they are produced by himself. The same is true for the Tu-22M. The Tupolev Design Bureau dares to come to complain about infringement. Argument? If he dares to come, then our own side will respond in a grand manner: What does our improved bomber based on the H-6 have to do with you?
Why, it doesn’t look like it? Why doesn't it look like it? Didn't you also improve the Tu-22M based on the Tu-22? You can all improve, why can’t we?
The key now is whether they dare to show their swords.
Qin Tao's mission has ended. He looked at the people present and waited quietly.
“Lao Wu, what do you think?” Leader Liu asked.
Since Qin Tao came in, it has almost always been the leader of the Air Force who has asked Qin Tao. The Navy is just a listener. Now, Leader Liu is going to kick the ball and see how the Navy reacts.
Leader Wu smiled: "At present, our navy has very few H-6Js, and your air force has a larger fleet of H-6Ks. You have the final say. Anyway, this plan was proposed by Lao Lin, and your air force plays the leading role."
"Lao Wu, please stop being naughty." Leader Liu said, "Anyway, if it is made public, we will make it public together. We will jointly write a document and report to our superiors. When the time comes, my name will be written in front of yours."
“Our navy is currently debugging and plans to mount big guys like the YJ-21 on our H-6J. If it is to be made public, we can publicly display it together with the YJ-21.”
The YJ-21 is an anti-ship ballistic missile. This missile has gradually matured after many years of development. It will be equipped with the vertical launch bay section of the Navy's attack nuclear submarine and the large vertical launch device of the 10,000-ton large drive, thereby obtaining a more powerful Maritime anti-ship capabilities, however, are not enough. In addition to these, the Navy also plans to deploy such devices in the air.
There are not many bombers that can carry anti-ship missiles, but the H-6 cannot. There is no space under the belly, and it is too big to be mounted on the wings. The H-6J is the most suitable choice.
After all, Lao Maozi also mounts air-launched Dagger missiles on their own Tu-22M3, which is almost the same type as the YJ-21. Since Lao Maozi can mount it, our own side can also mount it.
Qin Tao's eyes lit up. It seemed that the navy knew what to do without pushing him!
