Chapter 297: It’s not about having many soldiers, it’s about being skilled
As for how many H-6 bombers the Yanguo Air Force will ultimately purchase after being upgraded and transformed by the 077 Machinery Arsenal, this is not something that the factory's senior officials can decide.
Such a major decision requires comprehensive consideration of many factors, including defense budget, strategic needs, coordination with other military equipment, etc.
For the 077 Machinery Military Factory, their current focus is not on the purchase quantity of the Yanguo Air Force.
It is about how to give full play to its own strength and make use of existing advanced equipment and high-quality accessories to build the H-6 bomber into a modern fighter with excellent performance.
As the old saying goes: "Soldiers do not depend on numbers, but on precision."
This principle also applies in modern warfare.
The deterrent power brought by a bomber with outstanding performance far exceeds that of similar models that are numerous but relatively lagging in technology.
If the performance of the bomber itself is too outdated, even with a huge fleet size, it will be difficult to scare other countries.
On the other hand, military powers such as Mao Xiong and Yingjiang may not have an amazing number of bombers in their hands, but they are of high quality and capable.
With their excellent flight speed, powerful bomb-carrying capabilities and highly intelligent combat systems, these advanced bombers are enough to pose a huge threat to any potential opponents around the world.
This is undoubtedly the most vivid and powerful example!
It is worth mentioning that the Shenniao aviation engine independently developed by the 077 Machinery Military Factory and installed on the H-6 bomber is a highlight.
This engine can be said to be a fusion of the essence of today's most cutting-edge aviation power technology, and its powerful performance is amazing.
The H-6 modified bomber is even more powerful, and its maximum flight speed has successfully exceeded the astonishing Mach 1.2.
This major breakthrough is undoubtedly of epoch-making significance and greatly enhances the bomber's penetration capabilities and rapid strike capabilities on the battlefield.
Compared with the previously used turbojet 8 engine, the advantages of the new engine are simply different.
There are only a handful of bombers in the world that can reach speeds as high as Mach 1.2.
When the H-6 modification was perfectly combined with the Shenniao aero engine, it easily entered the ranks of the very few, which is enough to prove the excellence of this aero engine.
It can increase the speed of an old H-6 bomber so powerfully.
The fastest known bomber is undoubtedly the Mao Xiong family's "White Swan" - the Tu-160 bomber, with a top speed of up to an astonishing Mach 2.
Although the speed of the Tu-160 bomber is indeed superb, this extreme speed cannot last long.
Normally the Tu-160 bomber flies at a speed of Mach 1.2.
From this perspective, how much speed improvement can be seen after the H-6 is equipped with the Shenniao aviation engine.
The H-6 modified bomber has not only made great progress in speed, but also has significant improvements in bomb carrying capacity.
The reason why such an excellent bomb-carrying capacity improvement can be achieved is ultimately due to the two powerful engines that the H-6 modified bomber carries and continuously outputs surging power.
It is their existence that increases the maximum bomb load of the H-6 bomber from a mere 12 tons to 20 tons.
……
The meeting lasted three hours and several plans were finalized.
This is only a preliminary determination, waiting for follow-up in-depth research and confirmation by the senior leadership of the Yanguo Air Force.
At that time, the most suitable plan will be selected from them, and finally an in-depth design will be carried out to design the H-6 modified bomber.
...After the meeting, Lin Chenran dragged his slightly tired body slowly back to his spacious and tidy office.
He first sat down on a comfortable office chair, closed his eyes slightly, and gave his body and brain a moment of rest.
After a short rest, Lin Chenran opened his eyes and turned his gaze to the red telephone placed in the center of the desk.
He took a deep breath, then stretched out his right hand, firmly grasped the microphone, and pressed a series of numbers skillfully.
Almost at the same time he dialed the number, a familiar "beep beep" sound came through the phone line, echoing in the quiet office.
Time passed by minute by second, and the "beep beep beep" sound continued.
After waiting for a short while, a crisp "click" sound came from the other end of the phone, indicating that the call was successfully connected.
In an instant, an all-too-familiar voice came from the phone receiver. The voice was as loud and clear as a bell.
"Boy Lin, how is the discussion on the upgrade plan for the H-6 bomber?"
"Is there any result?"
Mr. Lin on the other end of the phone was obviously impatient. Before Lin Chenran could say hello, he asked directly.
The performance of bombers is one of the key factors related to the strength of the entire country's strategic deterrent force.
Hearing Mr. Lin's eager inquiry, Lin Chenran quickly responded: "Mr. Lin, after everyone's intense discussion and research all day, we have initially determined the upgrade plan for the H-6 bomber."
"There are several pretty good improvement directions this time, but the final plan still needs to be confirmed by you and the senior leaders of the Air Force in person."
After saying that, Lin Chenran did not dare to delay, and immediately reported to Mr. Lin in detail the specific content discussed in the meeting that day.
"Great, as long as there is an upgrade plan!"
After listening to Lin Chenran's story, Mr. Lin said excitedly.
His weather-beaten face suddenly burst into a smile as bright as a child's.
For a long time, the problem of the relatively backward performance of the H-6 bomber has always been like a heavy stone weighing on the hearts of all Yanguo Air Force officers, including Mr. Lin.
Especially compared with advanced bombers from other countries, the H-6 lags behind in terms of performance.
How can we not be excited now that there is a feasible upgrade plan?
Lin Chenran said cautiously: "The engine of the H-6 modified bomber must use the Shenniao aviation engine from our 077 Machinery Arsenal. The previous turbojet 8 engine must be abandoned. It has already completed its mission and can retire gloriously. ”
"Shenniao aircraft engine?"
Mrs. Lin muttered softly, and suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something!
"Boy Lin, isn't the Shenniao aviation engine the 'heart' of the Y-10 airborne early warning aircraft? It..."
"That's right, Mr. Lin, only the Shenniao aviation engine can meet the needs of the H-6 modified bomber."
Directly arrange the Shenniao aviation engine for the H-6 bomber, unless the Yanguo Air Force does not allow the 077 Machinery Arsenal to participate in the H-6 bomber modification plan.
Otherwise, the Shenniao aviation engine must be the engine of the H-6 bomber.
