Chapter 139 Modification! Crazy firepower!
When old trees sprout new sprouts, the first thing Su Heng thought of was the electromagnetic gun.
Qian Zhizhong had previously mentioned the idea of installing electromagnetic guns on fighter planes.
But that idea was rejected by him.
Still saying that, in future wars, even super technologies like electromagnetic guns will not be able to exert much combat effectiveness.
At most, it can only be used as equipment for ground troops.
As for beyond-visual-range warfare, unless the target is a dead object, or something with a fixed trajectory that can calculate the ballistics in advance, the role of the electromagnetic gun is very limited.
But now, Su Heng had such an idea again.
It is the person who uses the weapon, not the weapon itself. How the weapon is used and what role it can play depends on the user.
If a rocket is given to an elite soldier, he can destroy an enemy's heavy firepower point and save countless comrades!
And if it were handed over to a fool, he might just use it as a hammer...
In the same way, the so-called beyond-visual-range war is, to put it bluntly, a war between radars and missiles.
After this period of contact with the military, Su Heng has basically figured out the current military level of Blue Star.
Especially fighter planes.
World-class fighter aircraft basically use phased array radars or even active phased array radars!
Then there is Dragon Kingdom and Polar Bear.
The radar previously used by Longguo Jianshi fighters was Doppler radar.
How this radar performs does not even need to be evaluated.
As for phased arrays and active phased arrays, Su Heng has basically figured them out.
The beyond visual range of modern warfare is based on these radars. In other words, as long as these radars are made useless, the so-called beyond visual range will also become a joke. .
Having lost the advantage of over-the-horizon, the mode of war will return to its origin again!
For example, the Black and White Eagle Raptor fighter uses its own aerodynamic layout design and the iron-based coating on the fighter to interfere with enemy radar signals, or even directly absorb radar signals. Prevent radar signals from being reflected back.
In this way, the reflected radar signal cannot be received, and the enemy aircraft's radar will naturally lose its effect.
Similarly, the three fighter planes such as the Jian Shi Kai that Su Heng designed before also use this principle.
It’s just that compared to the expensive and seriously defective iron-based coating of the Raptor, its stealth material is more advanced, lower cost, and better stealth. At the same time, it does not require the likes of the Black and White Eagle. Put it like that in a constant-temperature hangar as a treasure...
In fact, he can apply that kind of stealth coating to the fighter plane in front of him, and then it will also be able to achieve a considerable stealth effect!
Of course, if you want to achieve stealth like a fifth-generation aircraft, the stealth coating alone is not enough. The aerodynamic layout also needs to be designed and changed accordingly.
Otherwise, important parts such as the engine cannot be hidden at all, and everything will be exposed when the radar shines...
In other words, if you want to give the fighter plane in front of you a new life, just Coating it with stealth material obviously doesn't work.
Thinking of this, Su Heng fell into deep thought.
Stealth materials are not enough, so how to hide the fighter plane?
…………
In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.
On this day, Su Heng stayed in the laboratory to study the No. 8 fighter as usual.
However, it didn’t take long before his research was interrupted.
"Mr. Su, the research results from Li Gong and others have come out, and I would like to invite you to come and take a look."
The person who came was surprisingly Lu Yingsong, the general manager of Galaxy Technology.
Hearing Lu Yingsong's voice, Su Heng pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
Li Gong, whose full name is Li Kai, is the deputy director of the Galaxy Technology Department and a leader in the research of rotorcraft.
Before, Su Heng directly handed over the matter of the electromagnetic gun helicopter to Li Kai and the others.
Firstly, this technology is not difficult, and secondly, it is also to train the scientific research capabilities of scientists like Jiuding.
Su Heng can't do everything by himself. Otherwise, Jiuding Group's many products will not exhaust him to death!
And now, after several months of research, Li Kai and the others finally seem to have the results.
Not long after, Su Heng came to a research institute in the science and technology park.
"Mr. Su"
Seeing Su Heng's arrival, everyone in the research institute greeted him one after another.
"Yeah" Su Heng didn't put on airs and returned the greetings one by one.
"Mr. Su, this is our design plan, please take a look."
After a brief exchange of greetings, the middle-aged man with thinning hair in the research institute stepped forward directly and The notebook in his hand was handed to Su Heng.
Seeing this, Su Heng didn't think much and took the computer directly from the other party's hand, and then looked at it carefully.
"Dual electromagnetic guns?"
Su Heng was a little surprised when he saw the three-dimensional view of the helicopter on the computer.
According to his previous thinking, it would be enough to install an electromagnetic sniper cannon on the helicopter.
Now, the models on the three-dimensional view in front of you are two electromagnetic sniper cannons.
According to the layout of an ordinary armed helicopter, on both sides of the helicopter, two electromagnetic sniper cannons were placed on the shelves that were supposed to be rocket launching nests.
At this moment, the middle-aged man in front of Su Heng, who was the person in charge of this research, slowly said:
“This is the design plan that was arrived at after our mathematical model verification”
“According to the armed helicopter data and armed helicopters provided by the military, our initial idea was to install an electromagnetic gun under the nose like the original armed helicopter, and then the sides of the armed helicopter could Equipped with other backup weapons, such as ground attack missiles or rockets"
"However, this plan was abandoned by us after verification, because we found that according to the performance of the electromagnetic gun and what you said before The altitude and distance positioning of armed helicopters, and the missile and rocket data provided by the military cannot effectively cooperate with the electromagnetic gun"
"It may even become a burden!"
"In addition, if we want to carry out safe attacks at an altitude of five to six kilometers, we must install matching observation equipment on the helicopter"
"If the electromagnetic gun is placed at the nose , then the viewing and aiming system must be placed elsewhere, otherwise the strong current and magnetic field of the electromagnetic gun will have a huge impact on the viewing and scanning equipment, and whether the viewing and scanning equipment is placed on the left or right, it will form a blind spot in the field of vision, which is obviously not suitable for combat operations. needs"
"So after research, we chose to place the electromagnetic guns on both sides of the helicopter, cancel those useless rocket launch nests, and add an electromagnetic gun to make up for the firepower"
"After technical demonstration, this design will not only not affect the observation and sighting, but also double the firepower density of ground support!" "One armed helicopter can have the combat effect of two or even three!"
Hearing this, Su Heng nodded slightly.
But at this moment, he showed hesitation in leaving.
It seemed like he had something to say.
Seeing this, Su Heng said directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, there are no outsiders here."
Hearing this, the hesitation on Li Kai's face disappeared instantly, and then he said directly:
"Mr. Su, I feel that the helicopters given to us by the military are not suitable for electromagnetic guns. Whether it is speed, climbing ability, or maneuverability, the military's helicopters are somewhat unsatisfactory."
"Electromagnetic Guns" Forcibly changing clothes on top always feels nondescript..."
Hearing what Li Kai said, Su Heng nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Li Kai continued: "So we studied for a while, and then combined with our turboshaft engine, we completed the semi-finished helicopter given to us by the military, and combined it with the electromagnetic gun to carry out a matching design. , this is the design drawing, Mr. Su, please take a look..."
As he spoke, Li Kai reached out and tapped on the keyboard in front of Su Heng, and then another three-dimensional picture appeared on the computer screen. view.
Next to the view, there is a series of data information.
After clicking on the view, he left and continued:
“This is the semi-finished armed helicopter provided by the military after being replaced with our Saturn 3 turboshaft engine”
"According to the data provided by the military, the original helicopter was designed to compete with the Black and White Eagle Patch armed helicopter. It was planned to use the Maple Leaf Country's PTC-6 model turboshaft engine, which has the largest engine capacity. The power is 1200KW"
"However, because of the Black and White Eagle, the military failed to obtain the PTC-6 turboshaft engine in the end, so it had to settle for the domestically produced WZ engine. The maximum power is only 1000KW”
"The weakening of power has led to large-scale castration of the helicopter's payload, armor and other data!"
"The theoretical maximum take-off weight of this helicopter is now only 7,000 kilograms. The load capacity is only 1,500 kilograms."
"Relatively speaking, the engine output of Black and White Eagle's Patch helicopter is as high as 1,510, whether it is in terms of load capacity, maneuverability, climbing ability or... In terms of firepower or armor protection capabilities, Black and White Eagle's armed helicopters can completely crush our military's helicopters"
"Of course, now that we have installed electromagnetic guns, our armed helicopters do not have to worry about firepower. problem, but considering the survival needs of the helicopter, we still specifically installed our Saturn 3 engine on this helicopter."
"The output power of the Saturn 3 engine is 2100KW, which is higher than that of the Black and White Eagle. The armed helicopter’s engine has one-third more engines, which is twice that of our military’s helicopter engine”
"After replacing the Saturn 3, the designed maximum take-off weight of this helicopter will reach sixteen tons..."
"At the same time, taking into account the helicopter's protective capabilities, we have also carried out inspections on the main body of this helicopter. Some modifications and overall replacement of body materials"
"After the redesign, the new armed helicopter is designed with a maximum take-off weight of sixteen tons and a maximum load capacity of ten tons. The fuselage armor can be used at a distance of two thousand meters. , withstand a frontal strike from a 12mm electromagnetic sniper rifle!”
“Considering that the helicopter may face threats from air units, we also put the active phased array radar on the helicopter and redesigned the helicopter’s view. Combining the scanning system with the smart biological helmet, the electromagnetic gun on the helicopter can be synchronized with the sighting system to deal with threats from air units! "
"In addition, we also designed a missile pylon for this helicopter, two The missile rack on the side can mount anti-air or anti-surface missiles..."
"Of course, the missile pylons can be disassembled, and rockets can also be replaced..."
Li Kai talked about it for more than an hour.
After listening to what Li Kai said, Su Heng was completely silent.
He suddenly realized that compared to Li Kai and the others, he was really too conservative.
He really only thought about attaching an electromagnetic gun to the helicopter.
After all, with the firepower of the electromagnetic gun, and according to the military information he learned from Qian Zhizhong and the others, one electromagnetic gun was enough to deal with the battlefield.
The most you can do is bring more shells and add a few more batteries as energy source for the electromagnetic gun.
But I didn’t expect that Li Kai and the others would play so big once they started playing!
He had previously wondered how Li Kai and the others could study such a simple modification technology for so long.
The results have not come out for several months.
As a result, after a few months, Li Kai and the others actually modified the military's semi-finished armed helicopter inside and out!
Dual electromagnetic guns!
Active phased array radar!
Anti-air missiles!
Frontally resistant to the armor of a 12mm electromagnetic sniper rifle at a distance of two kilometers!
Good guy, this is not an armed helicopter, this is clearly an aerial fortress!
Su Heng could even predict how Qian Zhizhong and the others would react when they saw this armed helicopter.
......
One day later, Su Heng separated his mind from the spiritual space.
Then, Su Heng approached Li Kai and others again and said:
"I have already demonstrated that there is no problem with your design. I have adjusted some details and marked them here. Next, you can arrange the production."
"The first prototype After it is produced, just contact Mr. Qiao and the others for acceptance..."
In one day, Su Heng conducted a detailed technical demonstration in the spiritual space with the technical information from Li Kai and others.
Check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps, and verify all possible problems in detail over and over again.
In fact, there are not many problems with Li Kai's design.
After all, this is not the first time Li Kai and the others have designed and manufactured helicopters.
This is not the first time that Galaxy Technology has developed a helicopter. The Saturn 3 turboshaft engine is from another Galaxy Technology helicopter.
Phaseded array radars are all equipped on small UAVs of Galaxy Technology before!
The people from the military behind them even pulled the scientific researchers from Galaxy Technology to study the active phased array inside and out.
Everything is fine, the only thing left is the avionics system.
This aspect is not difficult for Li Kai and others.
With the huge accumulation of technology, everything is as simple as a matter of course...
After receiving Su Heng's affirmative reply, Li Kai also had a smile on his face, and then nodded in response without hesitation. .
Subsequently, the first newly designed armed helicopter entered the trial production plan.
While Su Heng was busy arranging the production plan of the electromagnetic gun helicopter.
On the other side, a team led by Chen Yue quietly arrived in the desert thousands of kilometers away from the Dragon Kingdom.
