Chapter 139 Modification! Insane Firepower!

Old trees sprout new buds, and the first thing Su Heng thought of was the electromagnetic gun.

Qian Zhizhong had mentioned the idea of ​​installing electromagnetic guns on fighter planes before.

But that idea was rejected by him.

Again, in future wars, even super technology like electromagnetic guns will not be able to play much combat power.

At most, it can only be used as equipment for ground forces.

As for beyond-visual-range warfare, unless the target is a dead object, or something with a fixed trajectory and the trajectory can be calculated in advance, the role of the electromagnetic gun is very limited.

But now, Su Heng has this idea again.

It is people who use weapons, not the weapons themselves. How to use the weapons and what role they can play depends on the user.

A rocket is given to an elite soldier, he can knock down an enemy's heavy firepower point and save countless comrades!

If it is given to a fool, he may just use it as a hammer...

The same reason, the so-called beyond-visual-range war, to put it bluntly, is a war of radar and missiles.

After this period of contact with the military, Su Heng has basically figured out the current military level of Blue Star.

Especially fighters.

The world's first-class fighters basically use phased array radars or even active phased array radars!

Then there are Dragon Country and Polar Bear.

The radar used by Dragon Country's Jianshi fighter before was Doppler radar.

There is no need to evaluate the performance of this radar.

And Su Heng has basically figured out the phased array and active phased array.

The beyond-visual-range of modern warfare is based on these radars. In other words, as long as these radars are made ineffective, the so-called beyond-visual-range will become a joke.

Without the advantage of beyond-visual-range, the mode of war will return to the starting point again!

For example, the Raptor fighter of the Black and White Hawk uses its own aerodynamic layout design and the iron-based coating on the fighter to interfere with the enemy's radar signal, or even directly absorbs the radar signal so that the radar signal cannot be reflected back.

In this way, the enemy's radar will naturally lose its function if the reflected radar signal is not received.

Similarly, the three fighters designed by Su Heng before, such as Jian 10 Kai, are all based on the same principle.

However, compared with the expensive and seriously flawed iron-based coating of the Raptor, his stealth material is more advanced, cheaper, and more stealthy. At the same time, it does not need to be placed in a constant temperature hangar like the Black and White Hawk as a treasure...

Even, he can completely apply that kind of stealth coating to the fighter in front of him, and then he can also achieve a considerable stealth effect!

Of course, if you want to achieve stealth like the fifth-generation aircraft, stealth coating alone is not enough, and 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 is illuminated...

In other words, if you want to give the fighter in front of you a new life, just coating it with stealth material is obviously not feasible.

Thinking of this, Su Heng fell into deep thought.

If the stealth material doesn't work, then how to hide the fighter?

…………

In a blink of an eye, several days have passed.

On this day, Su Heng stayed in the laboratory as usual to study the No. 8 fighter.

However, not long after, his research was interrupted.

"Mr. Su, the research results of Engineer Li and others have come out. I would like to invite you to go and take a look."

The person who came was Lu Yingsong, the general manager of Xinghe Technology.

Hearing Lu Yingsong's voice, Su Heng pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

Engineer Li, whose full name is Li Kai, is the deputy director of the technical department of Xinghe Technology, and is also the leader in the research of rotorcraft.

Before, Su Heng directly handed over the electromagnetic gun helicopter to Li Kai and others.

First, this technology is not difficult, and second, it is also to train the scientific research capabilities of scientists such as Jiuding.

Su Heng can't do everything by himself. If so, Jiuding Group will be exhausted by so many products!

And now, after several months of research, Li Kai and others seem to have finally achieved results.

Not long after, Su Heng came to a research institute in the science and technology park.

"Mr. Su"

Seeing Su Heng coming, everyone in the research institute greeted him.

"Hmm" Su Heng did not put on airs and returned the greetings one by one.

"Mr. Su, this is our design plan, please take a look"

After a simple greeting, the middle-aged man with sparse hair in the research institute came forward and handed the notebook in his hand to Su Heng.

Seeing this, Su Heng did not think much, took the computer from the other party, and then checked it carefully.

"Dual electromagnetic guns?"

After seeing the three-dimensional view of the helicopter on the computer, Su Heng was a little surprised.

According to his previous idea, it would be enough to add an electromagnetic sniper gun to the helicopter.

And now, the model on the three-dimensional view in front of him is two electromagnetic sniper guns.

According to the layout of ordinary armed helicopters, on both sides of the helicopter, two electromagnetic sniper guns were placed on the racks that were supposed to be rocket launchers.

At this time, 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 obtained after our mathematical model demonstration"

“Based on 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 two sides of the armed helicopter could also carry other backup Weapons, such as land attack missiles or rockets."

"However, we gave up this plan after verification, because we found that according to the performance of the electromagnetic gun and the altitude and distance positioning of the armed helicopter you mentioned before, the missile and rocket data provided by the military cannot effectively cooperate with the electromagnetic gun. gun"

"It may even become a burden!"

"In addition, in order 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 of the aircraft, then the viewing and aiming system must be placed elsewhere. Otherwise, the strong current magnetic field of the electromagnetic gun will have a huge impact on the viewing and scanning equipment, regardless of whether the viewing and scanning equipment is placed on the left or the right. It will form a blind spot in the field of vision, which obviously does not meet the needs of combat."

"So after research, we chose to place the electromagnetic guns on both sides of the helicopter, eliminate 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 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 wanted to say something.

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."

"The electromagnetic gun is forced to be installed on it, and it always feels nondescript..."

After hearing what Li Kai said, Su Heng nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Li Kai continued: "So we studied for a while, and then combined it with our turboshaft engine to complete 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..."

With that said, Li Kai reached out and tapped on the keyboard in front of Su Heng, and then another three-dimensional view appeared on the computer screen.

Next to the view, there is a series of data information.

After clicking on the view, leave and continue:

"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. The maximum power of this engine 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 of this engine is only 1,000KW."

"The weakening of power has led to large-scale castration of the helicopter's payload, armor and other data!"

"Now the theoretical maximum take-off weight of this helicopter is only 7,000 kilograms, and the maximum load capacity is only 1,500 kilograms."

"Relatively speaking, Black and White Eagle's Patch armed helicopters have an engine output as high as 1510! Whether it is in terms of load capacity, maneuverability, climbing ability, firepower or armor protection capabilities, Black and White Eagle's armed helicopters are Helicopters capable of completely crushing our military."

"Of course, now that we have installed electromagnetic guns, our armed helicopters are not worried about firepower. However, considering the helicopter's survival needs, we still specifically installed our Saturn 3 engine on this helicopter."

"The output power of the Saturn 3 engine is 2100KW, which is one-third more than the engine of the Black and White Eagle armed helicopter and twice that of our military helicopter engine."

"After replacing the Saturn 3, the helicopter's designed maximum take-off weight will reach sixteen tons..."

"At the same time, taking into account the helicopter's protective capabilities, we also made some modifications to the main body of the helicopter and completely replaced the body materials."

"After redesign, the new armed helicopter has a maximum take-off weight of sixteen tons and a maximum load capacity of ten tons. The fuselage armor can withstand a frontal strike from a 12mm electromagnetic sniper rifle at a distance of two thousand meters!"

"Considering that the helicopter may face threats from air units, we have also moved the active phased array radar to the helicopter, and at the same time redesigned the helicopter's viewing and scanning system. Combined with the smart biological helmet, the electromagnetic gun on the helicopter can be combined with the viewing and targeting system. System synchronization to deal with threats from air units!"

"In addition, we also designed missile pylons for this helicopter. The missile pylons on both sides can carry anti-air or anti-ground missiles..."

"Of course, the missile pylons can be disassembled and rockets can also be replaced..."

Li Kai talked about all kinds of things 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 before.

After all, with the firepower of the electromagnetic gun, according to the military information he learned from Qian Zhizhong and others, one electromagnetic gun is enough to deal with the battlefield.

At most, it is to bring more shells and add a few more sets of batteries as the energy source of the electromagnetic gun.

But he didn't expect that Li Kai and his team would play so big!

He was wondering why Li Kai and his team took so long to study such a simple modification technology.

There was no result for several months.

As a result, after several months, Li Kai and his team actually changed the military's semi-finished armed helicopter inside and out!

Dual electromagnetic guns!

Active phased array radar!

Anti-aircraft missiles!

Armor that can withstand 12mm electromagnetic sniper rifles at a distance of two kilometers!

Good guy, this is not an armed helicopter, this is clearly an air fortress!

Su Heng can even predict what Qian Zhizhong and his team will react to when they see this armed helicopter.

...

One day later, Su Heng separated his mind from the spiritual space.

Then, Su Heng found Li Kai and others again and said:

"I have already verified that there is no problem with your design. I have adjusted some details and marked them here. Next, you can arrange the production."

"After the first prototype is produced, just contact Mr. Qiao and others to inspect it..."

In one day, Su Heng carried out detailed technical verification in the spiritual space with the technical data of Li Kai and others.

Check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps, and verify all possible problems in detail again and again.

In fact, there are not many problems with Li Kai and others' design.

After all, it is not the first time for Li Kai and others to design and manufacture helicopters.

It is not the first time for Xinghe Technology to develop helicopters. The Saturn 3 turboshaft engine is something on another Xinghe Technology helicopter.

Phase array radars and other small drones of Xinghe Technology were equipped before!

The people from the military later even pulled the scientific researchers of Xinghe Technology to study the active phased array thoroughly inside and out.

There are no problems with everything, and 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 natural outcome...

After receiving Su Heng's affirmative answer, Li Kai smiled and nodded without hesitation.

In the following time, 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 came to the desert area thousands of kilometers away from Longguo.
