When John returned to his study, he saw William Stillman, who had been waiting for a long time, standing in the study with a few drawings in his hand, looking at the decorations around him.

"William, what's the matter with coming over today?" asked John as he sat down on the couch.

William Stillman stopped looking, and walked up to John. "The missile you asked me to design has already been designed, so I'm here to give you an explanation. ”

"It's very efficient, but don't bully me for not understanding and fooling me. John summoned William Stillman to his side.

"How can you fool anyone, no one dares to fool you. William Stillman smiled slightly, opened the drawing and laid it out on the table in front of John, and began to introduce it.

"Look, this is the new generation of air-to-air missiles I developed!" William Stillman looked at the missiles on the drawings as if he were looking at his first love, with a look of obsession.

John looked around and saw the diamond-shaped shape of the missile, and he was instantly interested.

John doesn't know about weapons, but missiles have been seen, and ordinary missiles are cylindrical, but the missile designed by William Stillman is diamond-shaped, like a Mitsubishi military thorn, and the appearance is very sci-fi.

This medium-range air-to-air missile, which I named the "Sharp Blade", has a total length of 2.55 meters, a diameter of 120 millimeters, a launch weight of 115 kilograms, a dual power plant, a variable-flow solid rocket ramjet engine, a speed of up to Mach 6, and a range of 150 kilometers.

Compared with our most advanced AMRAAM missile, the blade has a smaller diameter, a smaller wingspan, lighter weight, less drag, faster speed, stronger maneuverability, greater power, higher kill probability, stronger stealth, stronger anti-interference, and can detect, intercept, track, and destroy any target in a harsh electronic jamming combat environment.

And, more importantly, I changed the shape of the blade, changing the wingspan and rudder span so that it could be hung in.

What's more, I invented a replaceable built-in magazine. ”

William Stillman excitedly rolled out another drawing, pointing to the rectangular road on it. "In the past, when fighters went out to perform missions, they had to return to the base for replenishment after the fuel or missiles were used up, which greatly restricted the combat radius and efficiency of the fighters.

For this reason, we invented the aircraft carrier and invented the air refueling technology, which greatly increased the combat radius and efficiency of the fighter, but once the fighter has no missiles, it must return to the base and the aircraft carrier for replenishment even if the fuel is sufficient.

The principle of the built-in magazine is simple, similar to the magazine of a firearm, but it is more sophisticated than the magazine and the technology used is more complex.

The ground forces first place the missiles in the bomb magazine and put them into a special ammunition replenishment machine, and the fighter can directly replace the bomb magazine in the air after the missiles are used, without returning to the base or aircraft carrier.

A bomb magazine can be loaded with 10 medium-range air-to-air blades, and 4 anti-missiles, the fighter anti-missile system I am studying, has made a breakthrough, by the end of this year can be taken out, then our fighter not only has a long-range strike capability, but also has anti-missile capability, which can make our anti-missile more mobile, more accurate, and the replacement of the magazine takes no more than five minutes. ”

After William Stillman finished speaking, he looked at John excitedly, he was very satisfied with his work, and sent John to praise me!

"I asked you to improve air-to-air missiles, and as a result, you changed my entire air combat system!" John clutched his head in a headache.

"Such an air combat system is faster, stronger, more accurate, and more mobile. William Stillman didn't understand why John had a headache.

"But do you know your change, my Y22, Y35 need to be re-developed, Y22 we invested 20 billion, and now we are still investing, and it is about to be finalized, Y35 We have invested 50 billion US dollars, and it is expected that it will be finalized in four years, and it will be mass-produced in six years. ”

John doesn't understand weapons, but he knows that if he moves the magazine, he must change the internal layout of the fighter again, and what is more serious is that the fighter does not have anti-missile performance, if the anti-missile performance is increased to the fighter, half of the work of the entire fighter needs to be pushed to the beginning, and even the shape needs to be changed again to increase the anti-missile performance, and it is necessary to install an anti-missile system, which is not only software but also a large number of high-precision hardware, and the research and development of such a set of airborne anti-missile requires at least tens of billions of dollars.

There is also a special bomb changer, such an aircraft, it also needs to be developed from scratch, although the drawings are available, but it takes time and dollars to turn the things of the drawings into reality, William Stillman changes like this, John will come up with hundreds of billions of dollars.

John rubbed his temples, feeling a little embarrassed. William Stillman's air combat system completely exploded the current combat system of the United States, even if the Raptor and Fat Electric were equipped, this system was too advanced.

But the problem is that the United States' Raptor and Fat Electric are enough to deal with future air combat, and there is no need for more advanced weapons at all, just like you already have a 38 big cover, there is no need to develop semi-automatic rifles at all, the opponents are all armed with knives or guns, do you need to spend a lot of money to make the M16? More importantly, will any country dare to fight with the United States in the next few decades? The biggest adversary, the woolly bear, has already been submitted, and what other country dares to bare its teeth?

John looked at the drawings, then at William Stillman's eagerness, and finally picked up the drawings and handed them to Daini, asking Daini to give them to Charlie for verification, and then talk about them when the verification was over.

Charlie was quick to verify what William Stillman had designed, with a few small changes to make it even better.

John thought about it carefully after getting the drawing, then looked at William Stillman and asked. "Does Y23 know?"

"I know that the fifth-generation aircraft developed by Srop failed in the competition with the Y22 because the design was too radical. William Stillman nodded.

The Y23, also known as Black Widow, was eliminated when competing with the F22 Raptor due to its radical design. Of course, it's not that Black Widow is inferior to the Raptor, in fact, the Black Widow is better than the Raptor, and the reason why it was eliminated is because the national-level project is not advanced, but safe, although the Raptor is not as good as the Black Widow, but it is more secure than the Black Widow, and more importantly, its R & D cost and production cost are lower than the Black Widow, so the Black Widow is reduced to the warehouse to eat ashes, and the Raptor is famous all over the world and has become the world's first fifth-generation aircraft, the king of the fifth-generation aircraft, and all the fifth-generation aircraft want to defeat the object.

However, only the United States itself can defeat the United States, and the Raptor has not been shot down by a fighter plane of any country for more than 20 years of service, and the only one who can complete the Raptor is the Black Widow who is parked in the warehouse and eats ashes, which is the sorrow of the king.

"At present, the two prototypes are accumulating dust in the warehouse, and these technologies will be used on the Y23! I will ask the Ministry of Finance to allocate 100 billion US dollars to you for the improvement of the Y23, the research and development of the fighter anti-missile system, and the research and development of the bomb exchanger, these three projects are listed as national top secret projects, and you are the general person in charge of this project. ”

John thought about it for a while and finally decided to support it, although he didn't think it was necessary, but it might as well buy an insurance! Having a surprise soldier might come in handy at some point, and such an advanced air combat system, without some waste, can be used as a springboard for sixth-generation aircraft, and can also increase the United States' anti-missile capabilities.

So John officially launched the Y23 project, listed as a national top secret program, and the former king is about to fly back into the blue sky.

Thank you for your support, I will definitely live up to my mission and hand over an answer sheet that satisfies you. ”

William Stillman clenched his fists excitedly.

"I'll wait!"

John patted William Stillman on the shoulder, the little guy who had been behind him in the past had a new place in his heart.
