Chapter 719 Situation (Second Update)
"Tactical missiles are much more expensive after all. I think this kind of flying motorcycle can be launched first to consume the opponent's air defense force, and then tactical missiles will follow." Sun Aiguo knows more and more about these things.
Liu Hai didn't expect Sun Aiguo to understand this tactic. He couldn't help but sigh that the leader has been making progress. He nodded when he heard this: "In fact, other departments can make improvements on my basis."
"That's right, but there are too many things involved, from the volume of the overall fuel tank to the entire size, and then the overall appearance layout. The first generation of flying motorcycles, related research units have not yet fully mastered the technology."
"Sometimes it looks simple, but it is still very difficult to integrate these things together." Sun Aiguo took a sip of water and explained.
Liu Hai admitted this. Don't look at the flying motorcycle. It looks simple in structure. It is just an internal combustion engine, then a fuselage, a control system, and an inertial guidance system.
This appearance design alone, as well as the power of the internal combustion engine, the volume of the fuel tank, and the material strength and thickness of the material, all require a lot of data algorithms.
It doesn't mean that it can be made with a snap of the head.
The capacity of the fuel tank does not simply mean how long the internal combustion engine can run, because it has to take into account the various situations of the flying scooter in the air, such as flying against the wind and flying with the wind.
After all, if the remaining fuel is too large, it will not make any sense, but will increase the weight of the flying scooter itself.
"Then I will do it when I have time, but I don't have time now." Liu Hai agreed directly.
The design software of aircraft carrier space is black technology in this era, because the material coefficients in it are relatively complete.
"There is no rush for this. Has the design of the liquid rocket engine version been completed?" Sun Aiguo likes this kind of flying scooter very much.
"Not yet, this is more complicated, I am still asking relevant personnel to conduct material tests." Liu Hai shook his head when he heard this.
The flying scooter with a liquid rocket engine can be said to be useless, but it is also the most complicated.
It covers low-temperature materials and high-temperature materials. Liu Hai originally wanted to promote the technology of liquid rocket engines.
Liquid rocket engine scooters have little application prospects because the technical requirements are too high and too dangerous. No matter what liquid rocket fuel, it is dangerous.
Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen and methane, liquid oxygen and kerosene, or toxic unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine, or alcohol, all of these are relatively dangerous. Some are stable but toxic, and some are non-toxic but unstable.
There are many problems involved, such as combustion power and specific gravity.
Because more than 90% of the weight of a liquid rocket is the weight of the fuel, if the specific gravity is too large, it will definitely cause the rocket to be overweight.
There are a series of complex problems with the fuel alone, not to mention the materials of the engine itself, as well as operation control, etc.
Fortunately, Liu Hai is not fighting alone. Liu Hai has set up a liquid rocket engine R&D department with several laboratories under it, including material laboratories, fuel laboratories, control system laboratories, etc.
Liu Hai can only provide theoretical guidance, because Liu Hai can't do these laboratories even if he wants to do them himself.
Of course, Liu Hai will not do experiments himself, and to be honest, if he wants to do experiments himself, he may not be as good as those researchers.
As the leader of a laboratory, the most important thing is to grasp the research direction.
If the direction is correct, of course, success can be achieved faster and earlier.
"Well, Fei Xiong is going to hold a military exercise this year. I don't know what kind of trouble will arise." Sun Aiguo said.
"I think Fei Xiong probably wants to let the world see how powerful they are. After all, those Western media have been belittling each other." Liu Hai can see more international news. In fact, the international community, especially the West, still despises Fei Xiong.
On the one hand, Fei Xiong is quite strict in blocking all kinds of news about himself, but Fei Xiong gets more intelligence from the West.
On the other hand, Fei Xiong's performance in Tocharia makes all Western countries look down on him.
In addition, in terms of fleet, Fei Xiong is not as good as the entire West. After all, the Bald Eagle, Niu Niu, Gallic Chicken and other aircraft carrier fleets add up to a lot.
There are more things. The third boss supported by Fei Xiong was beaten up when he made trouble, and the guys jumping up and down in South Asia were also beaten up.
In addition, there are also problems with the camp within Fei Xiong.
In fact, it was the same in history. Fat Bear invited diplomats to visit the exercise, but these diplomats looked down on it. At the beginning, these diplomats were scared and quickly called the leaders of their countries to say that Fat Bear was coming and they should be careful.
"The West has no idea of Fat Bear's mobilization ability." Sun Aiguo admitted Liu Hai's idea.
Because the system of Western countries cannot imagine how huge Fat Bear's mobilization ability is.
Only those of us with a similar system to Fat Bear can know his terrifying ability.
"But I think this is a good opportunity. The stronger Fat Bear performs, the better our helicopters and other things will sell." Liu Hai said with a grin.
"And now Fat Bear's strategic focus is in Europe. No matter how strong it is, it will first face those people in Europe. As for us, it will be much easier."
"In addition, the terrain of our country is not very friendly to mechanized troops." Liu Hai decided to give Sun Aiguo and others a shot of prevention first.
"If Fat Bear wants to conduct a military exercise, he must do it on a large scale. After all, we know what their leaders are like." Sun Aiguo agreed with Liu Hai's opinion. In fact, the superior department had the same opinion. Since Fat Bear wanted to conduct a military exercise, he must bring out the strongest.
As for the fact that Fat Bear suffered a loss and lost face in Tocharia, the superior department also analyzed that no matter how powerful a foreign force is, it would not work in this place.
On the one hand, it is a population structure problem. They have a large religious population.
On the other hand, it is a terrain resource problem. First of all, the terrain is too complicated. No matter how powerful a foreign force is, it faces logistics problems. In addition, the country's resources are not very abundant.
Not to mention that there are guys like Bald Eagle behind the scenes.
In such a strategically important place, no matter who enters, the other parties will not agree.
Liu Hai laughed when he heard it. Although Sun Aiguo said it so logically now, what Fat Bear showed at that time would definitely scare the superior department.
In history, we were shocked, so we also had an exercise, and the scale was also very large.
Liu Hai is actually looking forward to it. When we perform again, our position in the West will be more important. There is a relationship of interest between countries.
If Fat Bear can get more benefits by performing hard, then Liu Hai doesn't mind Fat Bear performing every year.
Of course, Liu Hai will never say this.
"Bald Eagle has recently mentioned selling us fighter jets, but they are still unwilling to sell the original version. They are only willing to sell the castrated version, and they are unwilling to sell technology."
"Gaul is also willing to sell their fighter jets."
"But it's just the beginning of contact. If we want to talk about it later, the price will probably be higher. The key is that they are unwilling to transfer technology." Sun Aiguo sighed again when he said this.
Liu Hai nodded when he heard this. Gallic Mirage 2000 is indeed good, but this aircraft has not yet been put into service, so it is not cost-effective to buy the previous model.
In the mid-1980s, Gallic was indeed willing to sell Mirage 2000, but the price was too high.
"I can't move forward too fast in the fighter area, mainly because there are too many things involved." Liu Hai is still the theoretical guide and chief engineer for the fighter.
The fighter R&D working group is divided into many groups, and Liu Hai is mainly responsible for the theory.
The focus is mainly on the engine. The materials of the engine are completely fine. The main thing is to look at the design.
Liu Hai is designing on the aircraft carrier while guiding the relevant personnel in the working group to design.
As for the radar avionics and other systems, they can only be solved by other specialized research institutes. Now our radar is more advanced than that of foreign countries in some aspects.
Especially after the phased array radar antenna anti-artillery radar developed a few years ago.
Let the superior department see the huge advantages of phased array radar.
Because of the phased array radar antenna, this artillery radar can not only counter mortars, but also counter howitzers, rockets and even missiles.
It seems that the upgraded version is about to come out. The upgraded version mainly upgrades the computing system to make the calculation more accurate and the response speed faster.
In addition, the relevant departments also follow the idea proposed by Liu Hai, that is, to connect the anti-artillery radar with rockets and even tactical missiles.
The anti-artillery radar calculates the enemy's artillery position and transmits the data to the rocket launcher or tactical missile, so that the response is faster.
Of course, there are more things involved, such as the control system of the rocket launcher and the parameter setting of the tactical missile, which will be controlled by the computer at that time.
The advantage of doing this is to improve the reaction time and prevent the enemy's artillery from running away after firing.
And no one knows that our country is equipped with advanced anti-artillery radars.
Originally, one was used during the exercise between the red and blue sides, but unfortunately it was stolen by the flying motorcycle.
"This is already very good." Sun Aiguo is the leader of the fighter research and development team. Of course, he knows how busy Liu Hai has been recently.
Of course, he also knows the work progress of each department. At least everything seems normal at the moment.
"I don't know if the Emperor is satisfied with his private jet?" Sun Aiguo said again.
The Emperor's private jet has been completed and will be delivered in two days. There are also three ordinary models of private jets delivered together.
The ordinary model is white, but with a waistline of a different color.
The waistline has red, blue, black, and purple colors, and the fuselage has the customer's name.
The price of the ordinary model is 22 million US dollars, and the price of the Emperor's private jet is 80 million US dollars. Of course, there is water in this.
And the water is still a lot, because this aircraft only costs 15 million US dollars.
Of course, there is a lot of water in this cost.
Not everyone can let Emperor bring the goods in person. The dealer also plans to call for 100 million US dollars, but Liu Hai thinks it is too much. This is 100 million US dollars in 1981.
"He should like it, after all, we took pictures of him throughout the whole process." Liu Hai thinks it's not a big problem.
In fact, Western media are very curious about the small private jet that costs 80 million US dollars. What kind of decoration can make the ordinary model and the customized model differ by nearly 60 million US dollars?
The dealer did not tell everyone clearly that there was any difference, and the interior was not exposed.
The dealers will use the curiosity of the public to hype up the aircraft and make it more well-known.
And the dealers know the character of the rich. If you are cheap, people will not buy it. The more expensive you are, the more people will line up to buy it.
On July 20, 1981, four C100 small jet airliners took off from Kyoto International Airport at once.
One of them was blue with a golden emblem on the blue fuselage and the name of the aircraft, the Elizabeth.
This blue shows different colors at different angles in the sun.
This is the most expensive blue among the sapphire blue. This natural pigment is sold by gram.
The remaining three conventional C100s, four aircraft formed a formation and flew directly from Kyoto to London.
Liu Hai did not see the plane take off, but the media took relevant photos, but there is no high-definition printing technology now, so it looks like that.
And the takeoff and landing of the plane were all planned. It must be when the sun is strongest when landing at the private airport in London.
These planes will not land at London International Airport, but directly at the private airport of the super club.
Of course, the number of people who can be invited to attend the aircraft reception ceremony is very small, not everyone can come to see it.
Of course, this can't stop those reporters, after all, the plane fell from the sky.
So the private airport was squatted by reporters early.
And those rich people who attended the ceremony drove all kinds of sports cars and came here one after another.
The reporters were excited to see so many sports cars and kept shooting.
The plane flew directly from Kyoto to London, which is also the biggest advantage of medium and long-range business jets.
As the sports car of the Emperor entered the club, everyone knew that the plane was going to be fast.
I don't know who shouted that it was coming, and many reporters picked up cameras and some picked up binoculars.
In the distant sky, a blue plane was particularly conspicuous. Under the scorching sun, it looked like a gem.
Just based on this scene, many people felt that 80 million US dollars was worth it.
Because the front plane was very different from the three planes behind, the three planes behind were just ordinary white.
In fact, there are many advantages to painting airplanes white, but it doesn’t matter for private jets, especially for wealthy and prestigious companies like Emperor Group, which want to be different.
