At present, Zhang Wenhao¡¯s three-dimensional satellite positioning system plan has basically all external factors in place. The domestic government helps launch and supports itself in seeking more launch resources overseas. Foreign governments are also relatively powerful, even Japan. After agreeing, let alone those countries that have normal relations with Dongchen, the only thing left is to complete the manufacturing of the satellite as soon as possible and then launch it.
In addition to producing satellites, Zhang Wenhao also has an extremely important task, which is to select a site in China to establish an unprecedented super command center. The traditional positioning system uses one-way transmission and one-way reception, between satellite terminals and ground terminals. There is no direct connection between them. For example, if the GPS marks the coordinates of somewhere in the center of Yanjing, it will transmit the location information to this coordinate location. Any terminal at this location, after receiving the GPS signal, can Know where you are currently.
This is the same as watching TV. The TV station only sends signals and the TV only receives signals. There is no connection between the two.
However, the accuracy of Zhang Wenhao's system is much higher than any existing positioning system. Due to such high accuracy, it can identify longitude and latitude to several decimal places. In addition, it is not a plane but a three-dimensional one. The three-dimensional surface equivalent to the entire earth will be divided into countless nodes by the positioning system. What Dongchen has to do is not just to mark these nodes and let the terminals receive them, but to provide a complete set of positioning services, in addition to ordinary civilian fields. In addition, in other special fields, Dongchen Stereo Positioning System will provide comprehensive positioning, navigation and other services for objects, which requires the entire system to have sufficient processing power, and also, super processing power.
Therefore, the ground command center must be built. As for the location, Zhang Wenhao wanted to be lazy and save trouble, so he planned to build it in Jiangcheng.
While Zhang Wenhao was busy in Jiangcheng, the J-20's testing of the new engine was almost complete. The military's evaluation of the Falcon engine was unprecedentedly high, and they even did not hesitate to use the extremely high praise of "the heart of the Air Force" to evaluate it. Dongchen Aviation has brought tremendous changes to the air force.
In an interview with the media, a senior general of the Air Force publicly stated that over the years, the Chinese Air Force has spent most of its energy looking for a truly good heart. Today, this heart has finally been found, and it can be called a good heart. There is no one with the strongest heart in the world.
The military¡¯s current main fighters are basically equipped with Russian-made engines. The J-20 and J-10 are equipped with the same engine, the Russian-made AL-31F. The only difference is that the J-20 has a double engine and the J-10 has a single engine.
The design and built performance of the J-10 have always been very embarrassing. The biggest problem is the insufficient thrust of the single engine. Even if it is equipped with a Russian-made engine, it is still the same. The insufficient thrust has comprehensively affected the performance parameters of the entire aircraft. This kind of aircraft is in peacetime. Humans are okay. During wartime, with their numerical advantage and cooperation in other fields, they still have certain advantages over small and medium-sized countries. However, in the face of a real war, the actual combat performance of this aircraft is still very unoptimistic. However, if it is equipped with Dongchen With the Falcon engine, many problems of the J-10 can be easily solved!
With a larger combat radius, larger bomb load, and greater room for upgrades of avionics equipment, the J-10 can be developed into a cheap main fighter like the F16. The core of the U.S. Air Force's strategy has always been to obtain Air supremacy, and its main fighter to obtain air supremacy is not the expensive and rare F-22, but the low-cost and large number of F-16s and carrier-based aircraft of the same class.
From the moment the military got the Falcon engine, it was not prepared to apply it only to the J-20. The J-20 is more of a deterrent, but the importance of the J-10 cannot be replaced by the J-20. Moreover, The J-10 has already opened up the export market. The Falcon engine has a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the J-10 and the overall air force.
As soon as the J-20 flight test ended, the J-10 equipped with a Falcon engine has already taken to the skies. If the previous J-10 was an urban SUV, then it was only equipped with a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine. In urban areas It's not a big problem when driving inside. If you carry five people and pull something, it will basically be out of power. But once the environment is harsh, this kind of car has no advantages except for the higher floor. But once it is equipped with a Falcon engine, It is equivalent to replacing the 2.0 naturally aspirated engine with a 3.0 turbocharged engine. Let alone five people, even if it is equipped with eight people, it will still run smoothly. Therefore, after the J-10 is equipped with a Falcon engine and goes into space, various aspects The power performance indicators skyrocketed. Without too much verification, the military decided to replace all domestic J-10s with Falcon engines.
While Zhang Wenhao was busy building satellites, the military had already placed an order for two thousand Falcon engines with a unit price of 30 million yuan.
Ordinarily, Zhang Wenhao¡¯s initial quotation was only three million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to 20 million yuan, but the government¡¯s purchase unit price was 30 million, which seemed to be a price for Falcon.He was extremely satisfied with the engine and was unwilling to sacrifice Zhang Wenhao's profit on the price.
But Zhang Wenhao didn¡¯t look down on this profit, but since the bosses were willing to give it, he could accept it with peace of mind. Officer Liu went to Jiangcheng in person with the contract. The signing of the contract was very casual, but it was of great significance.
Zhang Wenhao was very surprised by the order quantity of 2,000 units. He asked: "There are not more than 100 J-20s in China, right? The entire J-10 series and the entire J-11 series are only so many. Do they need so many engines?"
Officer Liu smiled and said: "There are not many J-10s and J-11s, but there are three to four hundred Su-27 and Su-30MMK series aircraft in total. These old Maozi aircraft are all twin-engined, and the original equipment is also AL-31F. The engine is suitable to be replaced by a Falcon."
As he spoke, Officer Liu couldn't help but sigh and said: "This shows how badly we have been tricked by Lao Maozi. No matter what aircraft are sold to us, they basically use AL-31F engines, and better engines are not available to us. We export and only sell the AL-31F, so our current main models are basically all using the AL-31F engine. Now, we have the Falcon engine, and the Russian-made engines will slowly become history. .¡±
Zhang Wenhao smiled awkwardly and said: "I know how to fool myself. The AL-31F has been sold for more than 20 years from the 1990s to now, so we are the only ones who can suffer this dumb loss."
"There is no way." Officer Liu said helplessly: "We only had this reliable way before. Western countries will definitely not sell it to us, so we can only suffer the loss of the old man."
Having said this, Director Liu couldn't help but said: "By the way, the military has never announced the radar to the public. This thing is so damn powerful! It's a magical thing that can kill instantly!"
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "The military is satisfied with the radar?"
"I'm so satisfied!" Officer Liu clapped his thigh and said with great joy: "This thing is simply a fighter god-like auxiliary, with increased sight distance and complete anti-invisibility. How did Dongchen create this thing? If this thing is announced, I¡¯m afraid the whole world will be in chaos!¡±
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "It will indeed cause chaos. The new radar uses a completely different concept from the old radar. It uses the same routine as our stereopositioning satellite. It has enough control over the radar waves it releases, so , any stealth aircraft will have no effect on it."
"The military is keeping a very tight lid on this thing now." Officer Liu said: "We are even worried that if this kind of radar is assembled in large quantities, the pilots will definitely know its secrets. If it is leaked, it will probably make Western countries extremely uncomfortable. The significance of this thing is even greater than that of an aircraft engine. The F-22, which is so expensive to build in the United States, is simply a living target in front of him!"
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "Don't be so greedy, okay? There is no need to fully equip the troops with this kind of thing. It only needs a small number as the core strike force. The best way at present is to only assemble a small number of J-20s, a small number of early warning aircraft and a small number of A ground radar force would suffice."
Director Liu nodded lightly and said: "The top management also meant this. After all, the emergence of this thing is too unbalanced for the entire world's air combat form. It is completely beyond an era. If this thing is really announced, I am afraid that the world They will try their best to target us, but by that time, the gains will outweigh the losses."
"Yes." Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "In peacetime, there is no need for comprehensive and powerful firepower. If it is too powerful, it will easily become the target of public criticism. We only need to have enough core strike force, just like a strategic nuclear submarine. As long as we ensure If the survivability of our strategic nuclear submarines is limited, then the whole world will not dare to go to war with us easily, because every country is afraid of a nuclear attack."
"Yes." Director Liu smiled and said: "For the radar, we are not planning to purchase too much for the time being, and the orders will not be fully announced. In fact, the military hopes that you can use Dongchen's special technology to conduct research on the radar. Certain functional limitations allow it to achieve camouflage. For example, the same radars will be functionally emasculated most of the time, so that their performance is no different from the current normal radars. Once wartime actually comes, they can There¡¯s nothing better than bringing it up to its true level at any time.¡±
Zhang Wenhao asked in confusion: "Can the pilot adapt to this? The aircraft we flew today will be flown tomorrow, and the radar will be completely upgraded."
"It's okay." Director Liu smiled and said: "Pilots can understand radar. As for whether the radar coverage area is large or small, it is not a problem for them to be used to it."
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, it is not difficult to achieve. At that time, I will give the military a special authorization code. With authorization, all functions of the radar can be activated." (To be continued. If you like this This work welcomes you to PiaotianRegistered literature members recommend this work.
