Chapter 586 Breaking the blockade is only the first step, unlocking the fourth generation machine
It doesn't affect the overall situation at all. Those technical staff can handle it. He just needs to take action.
Returning to the Naval Integrated Military Factory Laboratory, Su Dingping plunged into the experiment again.
In the Air Force area of the Military Industrial Illustrated Forging Space, an engine in the wind tunnel test center is undergoing the most stringent wind tunnel test.
This is the J57 turbojet engine used on the U Lao 2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. So far, everything is running very smoothly. It has exceeded the long test mark of one thousand hours, and there have been no problems. Currently It's almost over.
Standing beside 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 everything in this engine is currently operating very normally.
Seeing that the running time has officially exceeded 1,200 hours, the J57 turbojet engine did not experience any tremors or swings, and the power was still very strong without any attenuation.
Su Dingping couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. So far, this engine is very reliable in performance and can be manufactured offline and put into use.
However, he expects 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 engine's operating life will reach 3,500 hours before it is scrapped.
He will not follow the path of the White Bear Tribe. Each engine has a lifespan of only a few hundred hours and is eventually scrapped. After all, the years are long in peaceful times, and the probability of real damage is not high.
The engine has a long life and basically does not require much maintenance. This brings 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 has the foundation to independently manufacture Blue Star's advanced high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and also has the strength to manufacture advanced engines!
These two strengths are essential basic skills for building a powerful air force.
Now we just have to wait for the real-world training of the military industry experts of the Air Force, and then we can start manufacturing directly.
Next, he took out the nearly tested J57 turbojet engine from the wind tunnel center and brought it directly to the U Lao 2 reconnaissance aircraft.
Except for the engine, the rest of the parts of this reconnaissance aircraft have been assembled and passed various rigorous tests.
Just the last step is to assemble the engine. This U-2 is a complete aircraft and can be taken off for testing at any time.
It was not 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 industrial illustration forging space robot.
In just a few seconds, a complete U-2 reconnaissance plane appeared in front of him, very majestic.
After checking the appearance, Su Dingping went directly into the cockpit to check the various instruments and operating performance.
Of course, he is not a pilot, so he cannot fly this type of aircraft into the sky for a few laps and show off difficult flying maneuvers.
However, as a technician, he still checked various data very carefully to check 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.
When the power button is pressed, the indicator lights on the instrument panel light up immediately, and targets begin to appear on the radar screen.
"Buzz!"
With the engine roaring, the reconnaissance plane began to slowly slide out of the square in front of the workshop and headed towards the airport runway.
The roar of the engine became louder and louder, and soon he felt the reconnaissance plane taxiing on the runway, getting faster and faster. When he reached the critical point, he suddenly pulled up the control stick, and the nose of the reconnaissance plane was the first to rise. got up.
Immediately afterwards, he clearly felt the rear wheels leaving the ground, and the reconnaissance plane exploded 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 aircraft, and it must be said that it is still very powerful.
After taking off his helmet and getting off the reconnaissance plane, Su Dingping felt a surge of emotion.
Unexpectedly, he also learned to fly a plane. It 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 hurdle that once restricted the development of Longxia Air Force has finally been overcome in one fell swoop today. In the future, it will no longer be afraid of any bottlenecks, and will usher in a new high-speed development.
Now we just wait to build it in the real world, and let the world and those who look down on the Longxia Air Force know that the Longxia Air Force is not afraid of wind and rain.
Just like the third-generation wind tunnel was built entirely on its own in reality, it has already set a clear banner to break the technology monopoly of the White Bear Tribe.
As the core component of the fighter jet and the heart of the Pengpai, the engine has not been built in the naval integrated military factory so far.
But it has not only been created in the military illustration forging space, but has also been fully tested, and there are no problems with any performance!
Of course, moving it from the forging space to the real world is not only difficult but also extremely difficult, but Su Dingping has full confidence.
Because this is how the Navy came through step by step with difficulty. Turning difficulties into motivation is nothing more than a matter of time.
He has cracked all the top reconnaissance aircraft technologies of the Eagle Tribe. Gone are the days when the Eagle Tribe was suppressed and unable to raise its head!
Once the J57 turbojet engine is manufactured at the Naval Integrated Military Factory, it will be equivalent to transforming the heritage into strength and further improving the combat capabilities of the Longxia Air Force.
"It took so long, but today I finally got it all done."
Looking at the complete U Lao 2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, Su Dingping sighed with emotion and also took out the relevant data to study it.
Especially its detection function should be paid special attention to.
Previously, he flew this reconnaissance plane 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 submitted paper was taken out, and Su Dingping immediately placed it in the reading machine for analysis.
Wide-format photos were read out one after another, 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 filled with emotion.
Such a classic high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft has a brilliant record in history. It can be said that it has made outstanding achievements. Regardless of the fierce anti-aircraft firepower during Su Meng's period, it also went in-depth for reconnaissance. It can be said that its footprints are all over the entire Blue Star.
Even in the 21st century, the Eagle Tribe is still using it, which shows the excellence of its performance!
Now, the Longxia tribe has also mastered it!
"Fortunately, all the technology of this reconnaissance plane has been cracked."
"Otherwise, the Eagle Tribe will still use it to show off its power in front of us." Su Dingping then spent several hours testing the U Lao 2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft in various aspects, and also conducted multiple test flights. Worked and found everything running smoothly.
"Finally done."
Seeing that all the data was normal, Su Dingping finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.
After finalizing, he once again turned his attention to the attribute panel of the reconnaissance aircraft.
"The third generation high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft-U Lao 2. Completeness (100%), note: can be upgraded!"
The attribute panel gives such data, which proves that he has really conquered them all.
"Next, it's time to upgrade."
After taking a breath, Su Dingping pressed the 'upgrade' button without hesitation.
The next second, the properties panel was updated.
"The fourth generation of high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, note: cannot be upgraded yet!"
"The complete version of the network center collaborative target designation system technology (analysis progress 13%, analysis time 1234 days); the complete version of modular SAR/MTI reconnaissance radar technology (analysis progress 34%, analysis time 757 days); SK77 turbojet engine technology Full version (analysis progress 37%, analysis time 887 days); full version of linking space, 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); radio frequency integrated sensor technology complete version (analysis progress 37%, analysis time 803 days); phased array antenna technology complete version (parsing progress 47%, parsing time 989 days)..."
After looking at the technical attribute panel of the fourth-generation reconnaissance aircraft, Su Dingping spread his hands and expressed his helplessness.
Although there is only one generation difference between the third generation and the fourth generation, the technical gap is too big, and they are not from the same era at all.
And the most important thing is that the fourth-generation reconnaissance aircraft is designed entirely in accordance with the idea of network-centric warfare and is 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, land and air force, it is of little significance.
At present, the network information technology foundation is not complete enough and cannot 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 our information network conditions that are not yet mature, there is no need to rush to develop it, so just take it slowly."
After Su Dingping pondered for a moment, he made a decision. The fourth-generation reconnaissance aircraft will be developed slowly and let it analyze by itself until the conditions in reality are mature before it can be launched.
"According to the new three-step strategy, I am afraid that it will only be put into application after the first step is completely completed."
"The current focus 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 made arrangements for the next tasks. Based on the actual situation, he developed a reconnaissance aircraft system with the characteristics of the Longxia tribe. He took the unmanned path and combined it with the space-based satellite system to establish a huge back-end data processing center.
Su Dingping felt that it was most appropriate to conduct unmanned reconnaissance. Even if the enemy discovered it, there was no need to worry about losing personnel.
Moreover, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft do not need to consider the personnel security system, which saves a lot of space. For an aircraft whose weight is equivalent to a loss of 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.
At present, 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 strong 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 will 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 let us know a little bit about it?" someone asked curiously.
Su Dingping did not hide anything and asked directly: "What do you think is the most serious problem for us in the fighter field?"
