- Chapter 589 - Breaking the blockade is only the first step, unlocking the fourth generation machine
It doesn’t affect the overall situation at all. Those technicians can handle it. He doesn’t need to take action at all.
Back in the laboratory of the Navy Integrated Military Factory, Su Dingping plunged into the test again.
In the air force area of the military industry forging space, an engine in the wind tunnel test center is undergoing the most rigorous wind tunnel test.
This is the J57 turbojet engine used in the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. So far, everything has been running very smoothly. It has broken through the long test mark of one thousand hours, and there have been no problems. It is now nearing the end.
Standing by the wind tunnel cabin, Su Dingping kept recording various data.
From the current point of view, these data are moving within a reasonable range, proving that this engine is currently running very normally.
Seeing that the running time has officially exceeded one thousand two hundred hours, the J57 turbojet engine has not experienced any vibration or swing, and the power is still very surging without any attenuation.
Su Dingping couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. So far, this engine is very reliable in performance and can be manufactured offline and put into use.
However, he expected the operating life of the J57 turbojet engine to be at least 1,500 hours, reaching the level of mainstream military engines in Western countries.
After the first overhaul, the operating life of the engine should reach 3,500 hours and finally be scrapped.
He would not follow the path of the White Bear Tribe, where each engine only had a life of a few hundred hours and was finally scrapped. After all, the years of peace were long and the probability of it being really broken was not high.
The long life of the engine basically did not require much maintenance, which brought great convenience to the front-line troops, allowing them to fight with peace of mind without worrying about engine failure.
In this way, the Longxia Tribe had the foundation to independently manufacture Blue Star’s advanced high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and also had the strength to manufacture advanced engines!
These two strengths are the necessary basic skills for building a powerful air force.
Now we just have to wait for the real world to train the military experts of the Air Force before we can start manufacturing directly.
Next, he took out the J57 turbojet engine that had been tested almost from the wind tunnel center and brought it directly to the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.
Except for the engine, the rest of the parts of this reconnaissance aircraft have been assembled and passed various rigorous tests.
The last step is to assemble the engine. This U-2 is a complete aircraft that can take off and test at any time.
It is too easy for Su Dingping to complete the last step of assembling the engine.
With a wave of his hand, the J57 turbojet engine was quickly assembled into the reconnaissance aircraft with the assistance of the military industry forging space robot.
In just a few seconds, a complete U-2 reconnaissance aircraft appeared in front of him, which was very majestic.
After checking the appearance, Su Dingping went directly into the cockpit to check various instruments and operating performance.
Of course, he is not a pilot, so he can’t drive this type of aircraft to the sky for a few laps and show off difficult flying moves.
But as a scientific and technological personnel, he still carefully checked the data and checked whether the equipment was operating normally.
Since there was no need to worry about crashing in the forging space, Su Dingping simply studied the driving of this high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
After pressing the power button, the indicator lights on the dashboard lit up immediately, and the target began to appear on the radar screen.
“Buzz!”
Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the reconnaissance plane began to slowly slide out of the square in front of the workshop and headed for the airport runway.
The roar of the engine became louder and louder, and soon he felt the reconnaissance plane sliding on the runway, and the speed was getting faster and faster. When it reached the critical point, he suddenly pulled up the joystick, and the nose of the reconnaissance plane was lifted up first.
Then, he clearly felt the rear wheel leave the ground, and the reconnaissance plane shot directly into the air.
After two and a half hours of high-intensity test flight, Su Dingping basically figured out the basic performance of this reconnaissance plane, and it must be said that it was still very powerful.
Taking off the helmet and getting off the reconnaissance plane, Su Dingping was overwhelmed.
Unexpectedly, he also learned to fly a plane, which is a small step in life, but for the entire air force, it is a big step forward, which is equivalent to crossing a hurdle.
This obstacle that once restricted the development of Longxia Air Force has finally been crossed in one fell swoop today. In the future, there will be no more fear of any bottlenecks, and it will usher in a new high-speed development.
Now we just have to wait in the real world to build it, to show the world and those who look down on Longxia Air Force that Longxia Air Force is not afraid of wind and rain.
Just like the third-generation wind tunnel was built in reality completely by its own strength, it has already taken up the clear banner of breaking the technology monopoly of the White Bear Tribe.
As the core component of the fighter, it is also the surging heart. The engine has not yet been built in the Navy’s integrated military factory.
However, it has not only been built in the military industry forging space, but also fully tested, and there are no problems with all performance!
Of course, moving it from the forging space to the real world is not only difficult but also very huge, but Su Dingping has full confidence.
Because the Navy had come through this step by step in the past, it was only a matter of time to turn difficulties into motivation.
He had already cracked all the top reconnaissance aircraft technology of the Eagle Tribe, and the days of being suppressed by the Eagle Tribe and unable to raise his head were gone forever!
Once the J57 turbojet engine was manufactured in the Navy’s integrated military factory, it would be equivalent to turning the foundation into strength, further improving the combat capability of the Longxia Air Force.
“It took so long before and after, and today I finally got it all done.”
Looking at this complete U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, Su Dingping sighed and took out the relevant data for research.
Especially its reconnaissance function, special attention should be paid.
Previously, he flew this reconnaissance aircraft to an altitude of 22,000 meters and continued to conduct reconnaissance and photography activities on the ground for almost half an hour.
Soon, the submission was taken out, and Su Dingping immediately put it in the reading machine for analysis.
Wide-format photos were read out one by one, very high-definition, and the factories, docks and various infrastructure built in the entire forging space were all clearly visible.
At this moment, he was also full of emotion.
Such a classic high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft has a brilliant record in history, and it can be said to have made outstanding contributions. Whether it was the fierce anti-aircraft firepower during the Su Meng period, or the deep reconnaissance, it can be said that its footprints were all over the blue planet.
Even in the 21st century, the Eagle Tribe is still using it, which shows its excellent performance!
Now, the Longxia Tribe has also mastered it!
“Fortunately, the technology of this reconnaissance aircraft has been cracked.”
“Otherwise, the Eagle Tribe will still show off its power in front of us.”
Su Dingping then spent several hours testing the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft in various aspects, and conducted test flights many times, and found that everything was running smoothly.
“Finally done.”
Seeing that all the data was normal, Su Dingping finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person was much more relaxed.
After finalizing it, he once again looked at the attribute panel of the reconnaissance aircraft.
“Third-generation high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft – U Lao 2. Completeness (100%), Note: Upgradeable!”
The attribute panel gave such data, which proved that he had conquered all of them.
“Next, it’s time to upgrade.”
After exhaling a breath of foul air, Su Dingping pressed the “Upgradeable” button without hesitation.
The next second, the attribute panel was updated.
“Fourth-generation high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, note: temporarily unavailable for upgrade!”
“Complete version of network-centric collaborative target indication system technology (analysis progress 13%, analysis time 1234 days); complete version of modular SAR/MTI reconnaissance radar technology (analysis progress 34%, analysis time 757 days); complete version of SK77 turbojet engine technology (analysis progress 37%, analysis time 887 days); complete version of linking sky, air, and land-based radar combat command system technology (analysis progress 42%, analysis time 768 days).”
“MP-CDL new line-of-sight broadband intelligence data link technology complete version (analysis progress 47%, analysis time 172 days); complete version of radio frequency integrated sensor technology (analysis progress 37%, analysis time 803 days); complete version of phased array antenna technology (analysis progress 47%, analysis time 989 days)…”
After reading the technical attribute panel of the fourth-generation reconnaissance aircraft, Su Dingping spread his hands and expressed helplessness.
Although there is only one generation gap between the third and fourth generations, the technical gap is too large, and they are not from the same era at all.
What is even more important is that the fourth-generation reconnaissance aircraft is completely designed according to the concept of network-centric warfare and is just an important information node in information warfare.
In other words, it is more suitable for future five-dimensional integrated operations and is completely prepared for future operations.
For the current navy, army and air force, it is not very meaningful.
At present, the network information technology foundation is not complete enough and does not meet the requirements. It is a very advanced reconnaissance aircraft and cannot play a big role at all.
“The fourth-generation reconnaissance aircraft, according to the current immature information and networking conditions, there is no need to rush to develop it, so let’s wait and see.”
After thinking for a while, Su Dingping made a decision to slowly develop the fourth-generation reconnaissance aircraft and let it slowly analyze itself until the conditions in reality are mature.
“According to the new three-step strategy, I’m afraid it will take until the first step is completely completed before it can be put into use.”
“At present, the main thing is to vigorously improve the relevant performance of the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, adjust and upgrade some functions, and develop a more advanced unmanned high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.”
Su Dingping soon arranged the next task, and developed a reconnaissance aircraft system with the characteristics of the Longxia tribe in combination with the actual situation, taking the unmanned road, combining the space-based satellite system, and establishing a huge background data processing center.
Su Dingping felt that unmanned reconnaissance was the most appropriate, and there was no need to worry about the loss of personnel even if it was discovered by the enemy.
In addition, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft do not need to consider the personnel security system, which saves a lot of space. For an aircraft where one gram less weight is equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold, it is undoubtedly very advantageous.
The most important thing is that the manufacturing cost is greatly saved, and mass production and manufacturing can be carried out.
Currently, the Longxia Air Force has its own unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, but at the Blue Star level, the overall situation seems to be very backward. This requires the emergence of a new type of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
Using the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft as the cornerstone, it is not too difficult to develop a new unmanned high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.
After all, wind tunnel centers and aero-engine technology have been won so far.
After exiting the forging space of the Military Industrial Illustration, Su Dingping took a special car to the wind tunnel test center to check the relevant situation.
The director of the wind tunnel center immediately came forward to greet him and reported the latest situation. All tests are still continuing.
“How is the situation? Are the test results normal?”
After checking the relevant records, Su Dingping directly asked the director of the center.
“Reporting to Mr. Su, everything went very smoothly. It has been running safely for two hundred and thirty-eight hours and twenty-seven minutes, and there has been no abnormality.”
The director of the center quickly reported the report truthfully, with force and confidence.
“Very good. It can be opened to military experts in the Pangu Scientific Research Base Air Force, missiles and other related fields. In addition, the wind tunnel R&D department can also come in to visit and let them figure it out for themselves.”
Su Dingping nodded, and he could finally hand it over to the Air Force with confidence, “Next, you have new tasks.”
Another new mission?
All the scientific research and technical personnel present suddenly beamed with joy.
The last time they received a new task was to build a wind tunnel, and earlier was to develop a 10,000-ton engine. They followed Su Dingping and won one scientific research project after another.
It can be said that they are the elite scientific research team of the Naval Integrated Military Factory, a team specially trained by Su Dingping to fight tough battles. If any of them were left outside, they would be giants of science at the level of dean.
It’s only been a while now, and there’s a new project.
Just don’t be too explosive.
“Yes, I’ll send someone to notify you right away.”
The director of the center immediately took the order and quickly called someone to arrange the task.
After the man left, everyone immediately gathered in front of Su Dingping and looked at him eagerly.
“Mr. Su, what is our next project? Can you tell us a little bit about it?” Someone asked curiously.
Su Dingping didn’t hide anything and asked directly: “What do you think is the most serious problem in the fighter field?”
