Chapter 833 Do you want to intercept an asteroid?
Of the three projects, the most technically difficult and expensive one is definitely the electromagnetic gun. This project fell directly on Mingzhou Group, and Qin Tao did not refuse.
The group has grown and made huge profits. What will the money be used for? Personal enjoyment? Or should we continue to create monopolies, penetrate into all aspects of society, and eventually not even let go of the people's food basket?
Of course not.
If a person wants to live a meaningful life in this life and has more money, he must have a sense of responsibility to the country and society, and do good things and do practical things.
Qin Tao thought of a certain star he liked. He had made many bad movies. He was one of the hardest working people in the entertainment industry. He was very frugal and even ate instant noodles on the plane. However, he donated money in the mountains in obscurity. More than 100 primary schools. Those who truly engage in charity will never announce what they have done in a high-profile manner. When it is exposed, they will be slandered by some people with ulterior motives. But he is very generous and does these things with a clear conscience.
Now, with the development of Mingzhou Group, it has long been tied to the motherland. Therefore, investing in research and development on your own is worth it for the sake of the country’s strength! (Well, the protagonist’s personality is somewhat similar to that of a father. I wonder if he will continue to be called the Holy Mother.)
Liu from the Air Force finished his summary and continued to ask: "Now, do you have any other opinions?"
“Of course, we are only halfway through this meeting,” Qin Tao said.
Only half?
The guys stared at each other, wondering what else Qin Tao had to say.
“Mr. Qin, please host the meeting for us next, and let’s listen to your opinions.” Mr. Liu said.
“It’s not a high opinion, it’s just that some things that need to be arranged need to be arranged in advance.” Qin Tao said: “This first project is asteroid interception.”
Everyone’s eyes widened: “Intercept the asteroid?”
This is definitely a Hollywood science fiction movie!
“Yes, you should know how the dinosaurs became extinct, right?”
"There are many theories about the extinction of the dinosaurs. It is generally accepted that the extinction of the dinosaurs at that time was due to an asteroid with a diameter of 10 kilometers hitting the earth, which directly changed the environmental climate on the earth and led to the extinction of reptiles. However, this There are not many cases. After all, in our solar system, there is a huge gas planet Jupiter. Many times, it can attract asteroids entering the solar system to itself. In 1994, there was the most spectacular Sumei Comet K-Levy 9 split into 21 fragments, all of which hit Jupiter. The largest one was 1.6 kilometers in diameter. The energy of the impact was more than all the Earth's nuclear weapons combined. The gaseous vortex formed after the impact was enough to It can accommodate the entire earth." Mr. Wu took over the conversation.
“Mr. Qin, your idea is to use our own ability to change the orbit of the asteroid so that when it falls on the earth, it will hit the enemy’s city?”
This bold question immediately made everyone take a breath of air. Science fiction, this is definitely a scene that only appears in science fiction movies!
A stone fell from the sky and destroyed the city. This should be a natural disaster. I didn't expect it to be a man-made disaster. If we have this ability, wouldn't it be equivalent to Shangdi in the West?
"How could it be?" Qin Tao smiled: "Isn't that anti-humanity? We are peace-loving, and we will protect our homeland of the earth. If we find something that may fall on our earth, For an asteroid, we need to send a spacecraft over in advance and use the impact method to change the orbit of the asteroid, thereby avoiding a disaster. However, if our technology is not advanced enough, the orbit of the asteroid will be abnormal, and it will eventually fall into the If they go to a city in a certain country, it's just bad luck for them. If rocks fall from the sky, they have to accept their fate."
Mr. Qin is always so awesome.
Everyone sighed.
“Mr. Qin, from a technical perspective, is this plan feasible?” Mr. Wu asked.
"Mr. Wu, regarding technical matters, isn't this what your comrades in the aerospace department should do?" Qin Tao said: "I am just proposing an idea, and there is no need to rush into this. It may take ten or twenty years." We need time to develop and make it achievable. Now that the war in space has begun, we must make technical reserves. We are lagging behind in anti-missile, and we cannot lag behind in other aspects."
Qin Tao remembers clearly that just before he came to this world, in his original time and space, the beautiful country launched the DART asteroid defense vehicle, and after flying for ten months, it successfully hit an asteroid 11 million kilometers away from the earth. The double asteroid system is just a test, but the significance behind it is very important. The war between spear and shield has developed into space! If one's own side does not have this kind of technology, it may fall behind and be beaten.
“Right now, the rocket with the highest thrust in our country is from Starship Company. If we really want to fly to an asteroid, then Starship Company’s rocket is the most suitable.” Mr. Wu made an analysis and judgment after a short period of reflection.
Is this kicking the ball back again?
Qin Tao smiled. Max had already drawn a clear line from that side since he came back last time. Now that he is given a task to save the earth, he will definitely be obliged to do so.
Hurting to Mars is very important, and protecting the earth is equally important. Even if Max only has one ideal, he will never give up on this opportunity that can make his reputation even more famous. Moreover, this can also counterattack the Americans. When Max came back, there was no big move.
“Okay, then leave this project to us, but the aerospace system must also help. After all, we are just building rockets.”
There is a difference between building rockets and engaging in aerospace. Strictly speaking, building rockets is only a part of aerospace. Aerospace requires measurement and control, and requires the cooperation of various departments.
“Mr. Qin, this is just one, is there a second one?”
“The second project has nothing to do with technology, but is mainly a strategic issue.” Qin Tao said.
Hearing what he said, Wu Shengli started fighting on top, haha: "It's getting late today. We are all tired and hungry. Let's just stop the meeting here and let's go eat together!"
Everyone also stood up and headed to the canteen, but there were still some people who did not leave.
When everyone who should leave had left, Mr. Liu said, "Mr. Qin, what's the strategic plan? Tell us about it."
"The idea of the American TMD system is to place the anti-missile at the doorstep of other people's homes so that it can be destroyed directly on the missile's ascent." Qin Tao said, "They will be absolutely safe. Guess what, if Where is the appropriate place to deploy this kind of thing?”
Everyone started thinking.
“Southern Kimchi Country?” Wu Shengli asked.
“Yes, the Kimchi Country is the most suitable. Whether it’s ours or Da Mao’s missiles, they will be monitored as long as they take off, and even our aircraft’s normal training will be tracked and monitored by them.”
“Hmph, they dare!” An officer clenched his fist.
“This is not a question of whether we dare or not, but a question of how we will deal with this situation once it occurs.” Qin Tao said: “If they arrange it, then we will do the same.”
Same as the same method?
Everyone looked at Qin Tao with expectant eyes. Mr. Qin was very powerful. He was planning ahead for the next five, ten, or even twenty years.
“Cuba?” Wu Shengli continued to ask.
There is such a tacit understanding between the father-in-law and his son-in-law! Mr. Liu sighed with emotion on the sidelines. After sighing, he was still worried: "The Red Empire did it back then, but it left in disgrace."
“We don’t really want to deploy it, it’s just to contain it. If they dare to deploy it, we will deploy it, just like the current nuclear-powered submarines. If they want to sell them, we will sell them. Now the Americans are silent, right?”
This matter is indeed unsolved, and the Americans have to consider whether it will be beneficial to them if nuclear power technology spreads everywhere!
Furthermore, the world is fair. If they want to accuse the East, they must first see what dirty things they have done.
"Yes, we need to prepare for a rainy day." Mr. Liu nodded: "But, how should we operate in detail?"
"The specific operation is, of course, to start building a good relationship with Cuba now. The MiG-29s they have on hand have been exposed to wind and sun for ten years, and it is estimated that not many of them can fly. We can sell our domestic aircraft to them."
Cuba still has a lot of good stuff on hand. In 1989, Cuba decided to purchase 12 MiG-29 single-seaters and 2 two-seaters. The acquisition of this aircraft also gave Cuba the strongest military in Latin America. Unfortunately, it is said that the air force has not yet fully arrived, and the Red Empire is gone. It is not known whether it has obtained all the quantities. Over the years, these fighters have become increasingly aging, and it is not known how many of them can still fly.
“No, they don’t have the funds. For them, the K-8 or L-15 is the best choice. The trainer aircraft is more suitable for them.”
Cuba has no money, so the procurement department has purchased advanced fighter aircraft. The trainer aircraft are cheap and allow them to train pilots. More importantly, when needed, these aircraft can also be equipped with missiles for ground attack. Of course, if it really In a war, these forces will probably be exhausted soon, but it is enough to intercept a small plane or something.
"Yes, that's it. Mr. Qin's proposal is very good!" Mr. Liu also nodded.
“Next, we will contact Cuba, and we also hope that our country will be prepared to complete another arms sale.” Wu Shengli said: “Speaking of which, the L-15 training aircraft is really good.”
“Really? How is the progress of this project?” Qin Tao was also very interested.
There are two domestic advanced training aircraft projects. One is the JJ-7 of the Yunma Factory. This is easier to improve, so it has quickly entered active service in the military. With the entry of a large number of third-generation aircraft into service, the navy and air force are faced with For a large number of training tasks, using higher education aircraft can save the cost of two-seat fighter jets, which is very suitable.
However, no matter how the JJ-7 is modified, it will always be the foundation of a second-generation aircraft and cannot imitate the characteristics of a third-generation aircraft. This requires a more advanced third-generation training aircraft.
With the help of Qin Tao, Factory 320 spent 28.88 million to buy a complete set of data on the Yak-130 from the Yakovlev Design Bureau, and then improved the domestic higher education aircraft based on these data. , and then invited back the original aerodynamic designer of the Yak-130, Oleg Demchenko.
Later, Mingzhou Group established Tianjiao Airlines, and with suitable engines it could provide trainer aircraft. This L-5 trainer aircraft was on the fast track. However, Qin Tao had never seen it, no. Know how this project is going.
“The training model of this project has completed all test flight subjects. Next, they are working on the attack model, hoping to make this aircraft more multi-purpose. By the way, didn’t you see it at the last air show?”
Air show? Qin Tao thought about it in his memory, and he really hadn't seen it often.
“It seems like it’s time to go and take a look this time.” Qin Tao said: “If Cuba wants to purchase, it probably won’t have the money to purchase it all at once. Our Mingzhou Group can help provide loans, and there will be more cooperation in the future.”
It has entered June, and the south has become hotter. In the drizzle, Qin Tao came to Factory 320.
"Mr. Qin, when our L-15 made its first flight, we planned to invite you over. But then we heard that you were abroad, so we gave up." Mr. Shi came up to welcome you and said very excitedly: "The L-15's The success has made our 320 Factory’s position in the field of training aircraft more stable, and now we are an internationally renowned supplier of training aircraft!”
The market for trainer aircraft in the world is huge, but there are not many companies producing trainer aircraft. When 320 Factory started to develop K-8, it opened up a good export road. It is from this independent research and development that 320 Factory has tasted the sweetness. Keep up the good work and start developing higher education machines.
However, after all, they are just an ordinary aircraft factory with very weak scientific research capabilities. Without external help, they may experience setbacks. It is with the help of Mr. Qin that they have gone very smoothly on this road. They are very fond of Mr. Qin. gratitude.
“Well, I have too many things to do. I have wanted to come here for a long time, but I never got the chance until now. By the way, where is our plane?”
“Mr. Qin, how about you come to the production line first and take a look at the aircraft we are producing? Some of them are being installed with engines, which are all produced by Tianjiao Aviation.”
Qin Tao nodded and walked into the workshop under the leadership of Shi Lao.
Behind the compact nose is a cockpit with a low front and a high rear. This layout allows both pilots at the front and rear to have the best view. The price is high drag and a reduced nose. This kind of nose is destined to be unable to install large-caliber aircraft. radar.
However, the main mission of the L-15 is to train pilots and drop bombs when needed. This kind of aircraft does not require air combat, and of course it does not need such a large-caliber radar.
Under the cockpit is a side wing, which is also a feature of third-generation aircraft. The side strips pull vortices to improve the fighter's high angle of attack performance. It can do many actions that the J-7 cannot do.
Below the wing is the air inlet, which is perfectly laid out, and behind it is the fuselage and tail.
"The overall layout is very similar to that of the Yak-130. In fact, several higher education aircraft in the world are very similar. However, we have our own unique tricks. Our training aircraft has modified the rear fuselage and installed afterburners. engine, it can fly up to Mach 1.4. For pilots, experiencing supersonic flight on a trainer aircraft can greatly reduce the cost of using a two-seat fighter jet."
Qin Tao nodded. Mingzhou Group also has aviation projects. Of course he knows how high the flight cost of his aircraft is, so he uses simulators if he can, and trainers if he can use trainers. Advanced higher education aircraft have become the modern air force. The inevitable choice.
“It can not only train pilots of third-generation aircraft, but also pilots of fourth-generation aircraft. We have input the characteristics of fourth-generation aircraft into its flight control laws, so pilots can experience the flight of fourth-generation aircraft on it. "Old Shi continued to introduce.
"This is the benefit of digital telex." Qin Tao praised: "Although I spent a lot of money from the Yakovlev Design Bureau, the things I bought back were worth the money. By the way, where is Demchenko? ?”
The L-15 was able to complete the trial production so quickly. In addition to purchasing semi-finished products, there was also the help of Lao Maozi, especially Demchenko.
“He is working on the L-15 attack aircraft improvement project and is also busy in another workshop. We can see him after we finish visiting here.”
“Is he okay here?”
"Of course. He is the deputy chief designer of our aircraft and is very busy every day. By the way, his family has also come to the East, and several of his sons are studying in the staff school in our factory."
“Where is his wife?”
“His wife, who was taking care of the children at home, came to live with us and gave birth to two more. He was very satisfied with our life in the East.”
Five already?
Qin Tao lamented that he had to bring Xiaoling over to see how foreigners gave birth to children.
“Oh, that’s it.” Qin Tao nodded: “Let’s go directly to another workshop.”
The workshop here is mainly engaged in production work and is very spacious. More than a dozen L-15s are being assembled at the same time, which represents how popular this fighter aircraft is. Another workshop is engaged in research and development, and a large group of people are surrounding an L-15. The prototype is busy.
"We still can't give our L-15 the strongest combat capability by simply equipping it with an optoelectronic targeting pod. I think we must install a radar on the nose of the aircraft!" A voice with a weird accent sounded, although it was He speaks Oriental dialect, but he obviously doesn't speak it very fluently.
"The photoelectric targeting pod is already very good. Our current main domestic Qiangwu does not have a radar. We don't need to install a radar, right? Moreover, our nose is too small and can only install a radar with a diameter of four to five hundred millimeters. , There is no fire control radar of this level in China now. If we ask relevant units to develop it for us separately, the price will be very high." Tao Fei said at the side.
A training aircraft can only be used as an attack aircraft, so why use radar? There is no ready-made one in China.
"No, no, radar is very important. For example, with radar, our aircraft can have terrain avoidance capabilities. Let the radar work in synthetic aperture mode and then cross-link with our operating system. Everyone, since we want to do it, we have to Do your best, our L-15 must become an advanced attack aircraft, at least it must be able to completely replace the powerful five in your country!"
Domestic military aircraft are developing rapidly. There are third-generation and fourth-generation aircraft. However, there is no replacement model for the Qiang5.
With the development of technology, many fighter jets can carry bombs for attack. The demand for professional attack aircraft is getting less and less, and there is no new substitute specially developed in China.
Demchenko saw this opportunity. Although the L-15 is a training attack aircraft, it must be more advanced than a professional attack aircraft so that it can have more customers!
Strip wings, tapered delta wings, three-axis four-redundant digital telex, a glass cockpit with one level and three times, and hands-free operation. All of these are available. As long as they are used, it will be the most advanced attack aircraft.
Demchenko is obsessed. You know, the Yakovlev Design Bureau was also brilliant back then, and the Yakov fighter was the king of the sky! It was only later that it slowly declined and was marginalized. But now, Demchenko still has ideals in his heart, hoping to make his aircraft the most powerful.
“Mr. Demchenko, do you still want it to have air combat capabilities?” a technician said.
"Of course, with radar, air combat will be possible. Medium-range air-to-air missiles and short-range combat missiles can be transplanted. Everyone, you probably don't know that there are many Asian, African and Latin American countries that are very poor and cannot afford them. Modern fighter jets, right? Aircraft like ours are their best choice!"
“Yes, Mr. Demchenko is right.” While everyone was arguing, a voice came from outside.
Demchenko raised his head and saw Qin Tao, and suddenly became excited: "Mr. Qin, you are here? Why didn't you notify me in advance? I will pick you up at the door."
Qin Tao's itinerary is a secret. Not many people in the factory know about it. Demchenko is busy with work, so Mr. Shi did not inform him. Now, when he sees Qin Tao, he is meeting his reborn parents. Without Qin Tao , he would not be here today.
"No, it's raining outside." Qin Tao said: "Your idea is very good. The L-15 can be sold as a high-end trainer, attack aircraft, and low-end fighter. This time we contacted a Latin American customer , after they come, once they take a liking to your fighter planes, you will have more funds, and you can use this funds to customize the radar."
Have you got any foreign customers? Everyone was overjoyed.
