Chapter 603 Which one is better at skin-lifting technology

The Bumblebee has been changed to the Super Hornet, and the overall size of the fuselage has been enlarged, and the air intake has been changed to a parallelogram-shaped air intake that looks capable of stealth. Once improved, it can be said to be a heavy fighter!

It doesn’t mean that there are two engines on the buttocks or heavy-duty engines. If it is classified in this way, Wanwan will be very proud. Their IDF fighter has two engines on the buttocks, but it is a bit reluctant to classify this fighter as a medium fighter, let alone Said it was heavy.

  Northrop's F-5 fighter jet also has two engines on its buttocks, but it is an out-and-out light fighter.

  The standard for a heavy fighter is also obvious, with a take-off weight of more than 20 tons! In the new century, this standard will even increase to 30 tons.

Therefore, although the MiG-29 has twin engines, it can only be a medium-sized fighter because its maximum take-off weight has just reached the limit of 20 tons. Although the F-35 has a single engine, it is a heavy-duty fighter because it The take-off weight reached thirty-one tons.

Before the Hornet was improved, it could only be regarded as a medium-sized fighter, with a take-off weight of only about 20 tons. (It seems that the F-18C is already 22 tons, but it is still customary to call it a medium-sized fighter.) Improved to the Super Hornet After that, the take-off weight soared to nearly thirty tons!

   Yes, it inherits most of the designs of the Bumblebee, which is convenient for common use of parts, etc. In fact, many parts of the two are not common, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a brand new design.

  Related companies in charge were able to launch the Super Hornet in a short period of time, which is enough to show that the United States is still the strongest in aerospace technology.

However, it is precisely because of their strong technical strength that even if they improve the big bug into a super big bug, no one will say anything, but on the other side, the news announced by the Anxi State in the oil area is enough to shock the whole world !

  Anxi has released its self-developed Lightning Fighter!

In the past few years, the Parthian country has indeed shown some impressive features. As a country isolated by the West, they have no other choice but to be self-reliant. On the basis of being cut off from the supply of parts and components, they are still Keeping the Tomcat running is no easy task. Parthia has also produced some catamaran missile boats, which are impressive enough. And this time, the display of advanced fighter jets represents their technological progress!

  Due to various reasons, Anxi did not invite a large number of reporters to watch the scene, but they provided relevant videos.

  In the picture, this lightning fighter has a regular appearance, with a slender body, small D-shaped air intakes on both sides, and two outward-sloping double vertical tails on the two engines at the rear.

  When seeing this fighter, everyone suddenly realized.

   "What kind of Lightning fighter is this? This is a modified version of the F-5 fighter!"

In the past, when the relationship between Parthia and the West was good, there were not only dazzling Tomcat fighters, but also 190 F4 Phantom fighters and 166 F5 Tiger Shark fighters. These fighters became the cornerstone of Parthia's air power .

   Now, the fighter in front of me is obviously improved from the F-5 fighter. Just by replacing the single vertical tail with double vertical tail, can it be said that it is a self-developed fighter?

"Our aircraft uses a lot of composite materials to build the wings, which improves the performance of the wings. At the same time, we use advanced avionics equipment. Its radar has capabilities such as terrain surveying and mapping, which can complete ground attack missions... "

  The spokesperson of the Anxi Kingdom was talking endlessly, and at the same time, the audience was watching with the mentality of watching the excitement.

"This aircraft is indeed advanced enough for the rest of the country. However, the airframe is small, so it is destined to be unable to install advanced avionics equipment, nor can it carry a large amount of ammunition. of."

   "That's right, we don't have to worry that this fighter will disrupt the regional balance. This fighter is only the performance of the second-generation fighter."

   Everyone discussed while watching the TV screen.

In order to show that this aircraft has been successfully developed, Anxi State not only conducted a test flight on the ground, but also carried out a take-off display. In the TV screen, the aircraft started, taxied, and took off in one go, just in this screen Among them, some people passed by in a flash.

   Cautious intelligence personnel suddenly discovered something unusual.

   "We seem to have seen Lao Maozi!"

   "That's right, that person is very similar to Alexander, the designer of the Mikoyan Design Bureau!"

"There's nothing to worry about. The Anxi Nation itself doesn't have much aviation research and development capabilities. Even if it's just changing the single vertical tail to a double vertical tail, it's not something they can solve. Now, it's normal for them to find someone from the Mikoyan Design Bureau to cooperate. Yes, after all the Mikoyan Design Bureau has to eat."

  After the collapse of the Red Empire, the glory of the Mikoyan Design Bureau has gone. The design bureau that used to be the world's top design bureau has now been reduced to a trick. It makes people feel very emotional.

  However, it's just emotion, there will be no sympathy, let alone care about anything.

   Nothing to be afraid of.

   "Look, what is that?" At this moment, someone shouted loudly.

  Everyone looked at the screen, and then took a deep breath.

   "F-22!"

   Subconsciously, they treated the fighter that appeared on the screen as an F-22.

  It's so similar!

  Diamond-shaped nose, parallelogram-shaped air intake, butterfly-shaped wings, and double vertical tails, isn’t this just the F-22?

   "We know that the Lightning fighter cannot support our sky, so we specially set up a special aircraft designer and hired a large number of technicians. After several years of development, we finally developed the Kach fighter!"

  Kach fighter?

   This is clearly copying our F-22!

"At present, what you see is the wooden prototype, which is the only way we must go in the research and development process. At present, we are building the first prototype. We also look forward to the earlier development of this fighter. The sky of our motherland!"

   Just this one sentence, and the screen ended. The fighter jet project announced to the public finally no longer entertained the audience, and everyone was nervous.

how so?

  When will Anxi be able to develop fighter jets? Is the fourth-generation machine already rotten?

   "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, with Anxi's technology, it is absolutely impossible to develop a fourth-generation stealth machine!"

   "Yes, so, the Anxi Kingdom provided funds, and the Mikoyan Design Bureau provided technology. They have already joined forces!"

  This conclusion was easily drawn. After discovering this, all the pressure poured on the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

"How many times do you want me to repeat? Our Mikoyan Design Bureau did not cooperate with Partha! We did not use our fighter design capabilities on Partha's Kakh fighter!" Facing the aggressive Americans, Beliako The husband was extremely angry: "Why do you think that our design bureau did it? There were so many design bureaus in the Soviet era, why didn't you go to the Myasishev design bureau?"

   Sukhoi Design Bureau cannot participate in such a project, but what about other design bureaus?

Especially the Myasyshev Design Bureau was unknown in the era of the Red Empire. Several aircrafts designed before and after were unsatisfactory. Now that the Red Empire has collapsed, their design bureau has disintegrated, and those designers may have been poached by the Parthians. go!

"If you want to design a stealth machine, you must first blow a large number of wind tunnels. Only you Mikoyan Design Bureau has this ability. Unless you disclose the project you are developing for us to check, otherwise, we have reason to doubt you! "

  Hearing this, Belyakov almost jumped out of his chair angrily: "What are you talking about? Our Mikoyan Design Bureau accepts your inspection? Why? Come and see me off!"

  These Americans are not good people, and now they are taking this opportunity to suppress the Mikoyan Design Bureau!

   "Mr. Belyakov, what your design bureau has done is too much. We will initiate sanctions against Mikoyan Design Bureau!" Before leaving, the visitor left a cruel sentence.

  Mikoyan Design Bureau is blamed!

   "This is a good opportunity. If Zhang Zhong said that the program was dedicated to the Anxi State fighter program, the ratings would definitely not be low." In the Mingzhou Shipyard, Xu Zhengyang said to Qin Tao.

   "We're going to keep a low profile now, try not to provoke us, and you want to deliberately fan the flames?" Qin Tao gave Xu Zhengyang a blank look, what's wrong with his mind?

  Xu Zhengyang smiled: "I'm just conveying Zhang Zhong's complaint."

Anxi State announced that the self-developed light lightning fighter project is progressing smoothly, and it has performed an air show and also displayed the stealth Kach fighter. This news is definitely sensational enough. Of course Zhang Zhong wants to seize this news and report it. Who would have thought that Boss Qin would disagree!

"There are many things he can report, such as Ah San's aircraft carrier, why always focus on such trivial matters." Qin Tao said: "However, it is really inappropriate to pretend that nothing has happened. Our domestic media can also make a simple inference.”

  Simple inference?

  Xu Zhengyang knew that Qin Tao was going to give a bad idea again.

"For a self-developed fighter, the engine is the most critical. What kind of engine does this Kach fighter of the Anxi Kingdom use?" Qin Tao said: "I think there may be three options. The J79 engine of the F4 fighter , the TF30 engine of the F14 fighter jet, and the D30 engine from Lao Maozi.”

   Without an engine, everything is useless. Since Anxi wants to develop its own fighter, it must have a suitable engine.

After being blocked by the West, Parthia is still maintaining their fighter formations. It is no problem to remove the engines from scrapped F4 and F14 fighters and use them after refurbishment. In addition, D30 engines can also be obtained in other ways .

Although the D30 engine is mainly used on transport aircraft, its thrust is strong. After adding the afterburner, it can also be used as the power of fighter jets. For example, the MiG-31, such as the S-37, all use this engine as power .

  Xu Zhengyang nodded. Just about to say something, the phone rang.

  He picked up the phone, glanced at the short message on it, and then his face became ugly.

   "Is there anything important?" Qin Tao asked flatly.

"It's still about that Pingkov." Xu Zhengyang said: "After his reputation was ruined by us, he didn't show up for a long time. Now, in order to make a comeback, he decided to step on our Mingzhou Group again. He is active. I hope to describe this fighter plane of the Anxi Kingdom as a replica of our J-31A. Currently, he has been invited by a certain TV station and will do a special program."

  Qin Tao's attitude is still very flat: "This kind of person has committed many crimes, and it is God's business to forgive him. Now, the only thing we can do is to send him to see God."

  Qin Tao is peace-loving and doesn't like to fight and kill. However, if someone repeatedly violates his bottom line, he will take action when it is time to do so.

  If Pingkov can keep quiet after the last incident, he can live a mediocre life. If he dares to act as a monster, he will die.

   On the other side of the ocean, Maple Leaf Country.

  Pingkov carried his suitcase and got on his big Ford pickup.

  His suitcase is full of collected materials.

Hmph, the Americans really put gold on their faces. After the Anxi State aircraft came out, everyone subconsciously thought that this aircraft was a copy of the F-22. Didn’t they see that it is different from the Eastern J-31? A is very similar!

  Due to the shooting angle, he didn't see the engines at the back, but he believed that, with the relationship between Mingzhou Group and Anxi, Mingzhou Group must have exported the technology of this aircraft to Anxi!

  What is the Mikoyan Design Bureau? Does the whole world think that the Mikoyan Design Bureau is very powerful? They have long been lonely nobles, and they have long fallen into the mundane world!

  Pingkov believes that with the release of this hot news, he will definitely reappear in the eyes of the world, and he will become the most famous military expert in the world!

  With such confidence, Pinkov started the engine, and his Ford pickup started on the highway, heading for the destination.

  Maple Leaf Country is sparsely populated and the roads are wide, but few cars can be seen. When passing an intersection, Pingkov subconsciously glanced to both sides.

   A big-nosed IWC truck is approaching!

Pingkov quickly stepped on the brakes and turned the steering wheel to evade, but it was useless. The next second, the thick bumper of the truck hit the side of his pickup hard. He screamed, and the pickup flew up and flipped over. Falling to the roadbed aside.

  The truck driver did not slow down, but just threw a ball from the cab, and the ball fell on the Ford pickup that had just rolled to the side of the road, and a raging fire broke out.

  The IWC pickup roared away, leaving behind a burning flame.

  Ten minutes later, fire trucks and ambulances arrived. After putting out the fire, they found a charred body. The police began to look for witnesses and tried to find the heavy truck that had hit and run, but found nothing.

   Soon, this traffic accident was submerged in various affairs. There were many traffic accidents every day, and people died in traffic accidents every day.

   "Boss Qin, the matter has been settled. The notorious Ping Kefu was hit by a car when he went out, and his bones were burned." Xu Zhengyang reported to Qin Tao.

   "It's so satisfying." Qin Tao said, "This is what happens to traitors."

   "Yes, it's a pity that it's not suitable for fanfare, otherwise, we'll set off firecrackers to celebrate." Xu Zhengyang said: "Mr. Qin, it's just that Ping Kefu didn't say it this time, and someone will say it next time."

   "The mouth grows on other people's faces. If you want to say it, you can say it. They slander us, and we can also refute it. The development of technology in the rest of the country has something to do with us."

   "Boss Qin, there is one more thing to report to you." Xu Zhengyang continued: "The international shipbuilding company in Wanwan has taken away more than a dozen of our businesses and won construction contracts for more than 20 ships."

   "So much?" Qin Tao said, "How did they take it away?"

   “They only wanted an eight percent down payment.”

   "Sigh, greed is terrible. I'm afraid they will be overwhelmed by this batch of orders." Qin Tao said: "If they go bankrupt because of this, they really have to blame themselves."

   "Yes, these orders are urgent, and their shipyard has already started cutting materials."

   Bay Bay.

  From the map, it looks like an unsinkable aircraft carrier. Of course, the area is much larger. The central and eastern parts are mountainous. Therefore, the main industries are distributed in the north, south and west.

  The northern part is the most lively. The headquarters of Wanwan International Shipbuilding Company is located in Wanbei City, and the shipyards are located in Longji in the north and Xionggao in the south. This company is the largest shipbuilding enterprise in Wanwan and has a lot of business.

   At this time, in Longji's shipyard, company executives are inspecting the construction of the ship.

"Mr. President, please rest assured that our shipyard has a shipbuilding capacity of one million tons. Even if we start construction of ten bulk carriers of 100,000 tons at the same time, there will be no problem." Zheng Longwen, the director of the shipyard, said to the president Gu Qingnan .

Although the official establishment of the international shipyard was in 1973, the shipyard already existed before that. Their shipbuilding history is long, and the equipment in their hands is also very advanced now. Whether it is the slipway or the dock, they are all completely new. It's time to get down to business!

"Our international shipyard must show the spirit of enduring hardships and complete these orders as soon as possible, so that international shipowners can see our strength." Gu Qingnan said: "At the same time, this can also reduce the pressure on the company. Banks have borrowed huge sums of money."

  In order to win the order, they would rather ask for an 8% down payment, and wait until the hull is launched to ask for the second payment. What about the funds in the middle?

  Of course you have to rely on loans!

  Their international shipyards do not have so much money to advance, they can only borrow from banks, but based on their good reputation, the cooperative banks are willing to lend them money.

   While talking, Gu Qingnan looked at the vibrant shipyard. The CSBC logo was clearly visible on the huge gantry crane.

   "Mr. President, if we want to further speed up the production schedule, we need two kinds of equipment." Zheng Longwen said.

"what do you need?"

   "One of them is a CNC three-dimensional bending machine. Mingzhou Group relies on this technology to greatly speed up the shipbuilding process. The shipbuilding cycle can be shortened by 30%."

  Gu Qingnan opened his eyes wide: "This is indeed a good thing. We can import it and buy it from Europe and the United States! No matter how much it costs, we will buy it back!"

   "Mr. President, currently only Mingzhou Group has this kind of equipment."

   "What, only Mingzhou Group has it?" Gu Qingnan was a little annoyed: "They developed it themselves?"

"Yes."

   "If they can develop it, then we can develop it! We will cooperate with domestic universities and institutions to develop this device!" Gu Qingnan clenched his fists: "What is the second one?"

   “We also need more gantry cranes. This way, next to the slipway, we can weld the ship sections first and put them together at the end.”

   "Gantry crane? It's easy, it's available in the West!"

   "Yes, there are indeed in the west, but in terms of quality and price, the products of Zhenhua Group are the best. Now, their port machinery is very popular all over the world."

   "Zhenhua Port Machinery? This has nothing to do with Mingzhou Group, right?"

   Zheng Longwen shook his head.

   "Okay, let's buy a few. If they are willing to pay on credit, we can pay them when our batch of ships is delivered."

   Zheng Longwen was a little embarrassed: "Mr. President, Zhenhua Port Machinery is very popular at present, and they may not accept credit."

"If you are doing business now, if there is anyone who doesn't pay on credit, talk to them! Our international shipyard is a world-renowned shipyard, can we still go on?" Gu Qingnan is very proud: "The ship we are building is from Mingzhou It was snatched from the group, we are stronger than the Mingzhou group!"

  Gu Qingnan feels very good about himself.

"Actually, building civilian ships is meaningless. Our government should vigorously develop the navy and manufacture the most advanced warships by ourselves! We can build warships with four-sided phased array radar on the other side! We can also build warships here! With the funds to purchase French warships, we can definitely develop Our own warship!"

   "That's right, the bought French warship is still an empty shell, and we can build that shell ourselves." Speaking of this project, Zheng Longwen was also very excited.

  At this time, Wanwan International Shipyard is still immersed in a dream, while in the far north, Sanxing Heavy Industry already has a bad feeling.

   "So far, customers still haven't come to receive these ice-breaking natural gas ships, nor have they paid follow-up funds. There must be something wrong with these customers!" Zheng Zhenze's face was full of worry.

"Da Mao's funds have always been very tight. A few years ago, they said that they would open up the Arctic route, so they ordered these ice-breaking natural gas ships. Now, the Arctic route is no longer mentioned. Are they not going to want these ships? " Mr. Li said.

   No more? Zheng Zhenze looked through the office of the shipyard and looked at the batch of natural gas ships that had been built on the pier, with a gloomy face: "If they don't want it, then we will be in big trouble!"

   "Give the customer an ultimatum. If they don't pay us the remaining funds, then we will put this batch of ships on the international market. We, the Sanxing Group, cannot be dragged down by these ships!"
