In the field of gas turbine engine research, under the strong leadership of Yang Weiping, Huaxia has now begun two core engine verification plans.

One is the advanced turbine engine gas generator planning, which is mainly aimed at the design, development and verification of the core engine and related components of 18KG/S first-class or larger air flow, and the developed technology can be used for large turbofan and turbojet engines in the future. WS6-H1 is one of the results of this project.

THE OTHER IS THE JOINT TURBINE ADVANCED GAS GENERATOR PLANNING, WHICH IS MAINLY FOR THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND VERIFICATION OF THE CORE ENGINE AND RELATED COMPONENTS OF 2.27~13.6KG/S AIR FLOW, AND THE DEVELOPED TECHNOLOGY CAN BE USED FOR FUTURE TURBOPROPS, TURBOSHAFTS, SMALL TURBOFANS AND TURBOJET ENGINES.

The main task of these two projects is to develop turbine engine gas generator technology for current and future aircraft propulsion systems.

The goal is to incorporate evolving technologies into advanced gas generators to evaluate performance, cost, durability, repairability, and maintenance in a realistic engine environment. Through the test of this test core machine, the key technology of the engine can be enhanced to be transformed into engineering development at an early stage and with low risk, so that it can be applied to derived or new engines.

These technologies can be used in a wide range of military and civilian systems, including aircraft, missiles, land combat installations, and corresponding space launches from ships. Component technology is validated in the core engine (incomplete engine) test.

Of these two plans, Yang Weiping is aimed at the ATEGG plan that the United States has been carrying out.

The ATEGG program began in 1960 with the initial aim of focusing on the development and verification of core engines at the time when there was a lack of funding for turbine engine research, and to achieve the greatest progress in engine technology with the least amount of money.

GE and PW have developed a core engine (including a compressor, combustion chamber, turbine and tail nozzle, but no air intake), and successfully verified the technology of high thrust-to-weight ratio engines. Double or half the size of these cores. Combined with the corresponding low-pressure components, a series of engines can be formed to meet the requirements of a variety of aircraft.

ATEGG is an ongoing project, and the U.S. has formed a fifth-generation verification core and verification engine so far.

Yang Weiping asked Perry for the GE1/10 core machine. It is a fifth-generation verification core machine being developed by General Motors.

In doing so, Yang Weiping is actually clearly telling the Americans that our WS10 is as important as your GE1/10 core machine. If you are willing to exchange the GE1/10 core machine. Then let's take out the WS10 and share it with everyone. Otherwise, no need to talk!

How much strategic value the core aircraft has, as US Secretary of Defense Perry, of course, is clear.

Although the GE1/10 core machine has not yet completed the final finalization test. But this core aircraft undoubtedly represents the most advanced research direction of the American military aero engine, and the Chinese want to take it, but there is no door!

Based on this idea, Perry no longer mentioned the topic of introducing the WS10 Taihang engine. Because everyone understands that even if the relationship between China and the United States seems to be a honey blend on the surface, it is impossible for the two countries to share their core and advanced technologies.

Next, when it came to the issue of the wreckage of the MiG-29 and MiG-25, Yang Weiping turned his back very unkindly and sold his Soviet friends. However, he put forward a condition for the US side that cannot be changed. The United States can send engineers and technicians to China to study the wreckage of these planes together with Chinese technicians.

In line with the idea that something is better than nothing, Perry could only reluctantly agree to Yang Weiping's request.

In this meeting, both sides were basically happy. They all got what they wanted from each other.

The US side is quite sincere this time, the four Kidd-class missile destroyers. They have already sailed from the continental United States to the US military base in Okinawa, accompanied by six Keeling-class destroyers that have undergone maintenance works. The Huaxia Navy can send people to receive it anytime and anywhere.

Of course, Yang Weiping will not delay a minute or a second of such a good thing. The East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet were immediately notified to dispatch personnel to the US military base in Okinawa.

During the handover of the four Kidd-class missile destroyers, the US side put forward a request: These four warships cannot be deployed in the East China Sea.

After Yang Weiping learned of this, he understood that this was actually just a superficial gesture made by the Yankees to show the Taiwan authorities, and that the four Kidd-class ships would definitely be handed over to the South China Sea Fleet anyway, so Yang Weiping readily agreed to this condition of the US side.

Formation of overseas garrisons, which of course included the Navy and Marine Corps.

Taking advantage of this large-scale warship receiving project, Yang Weiping conducted a comprehensive inspection of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet.

On August 20, 1979, four Kidd-class guided missile destroyers arrived safely and smoothly at the Zhanjiang Military Port of the South China Sea Fleet.

As an export-oriented ship, the standard equipment of these four Kidd-class ships can be called rudimentary.

The standard displacement is 6950 tons, and the full load displacement is 9574 tons.

The length of the ship is 171.7 meters, the width of the ship is 16.8 meters, the draft is 9.1 meters, the maximum speed is 33 knots, and the endurance is 20 knots and 6,000 nautical miles.

It is powered by four GM LM2500-30 gas turbines with a maximum output of 86,000 horsepower on two shafts.

The full strength is 24 officers and 322 soldiers.

The armament includes: two MK45 single-barreled 127 mm naval guns, two Phalanx short-range air defense systems, two dual-arm MK10 missile launchers capable of firing "Standard" "Beagle" anti-aircraft missiles and "Asroc" anti-submarine missiles, two MK-36 jamming missile launchers, two torpedo triple torpedo tubes capable of firing MK32 torpedoes, and two SH-3A anti-submarine helicopters.

The electronics include: one AN/SPS-48C3D anti-air search radar, one AN/SPS-55 plane search radar, one AN/SPQ-9A plane tracking fire control radar, two AN/SPG-51D illumination radars, a primary NTDS naval tactical data system, and an AN/SQS-53A/D sonar in the bow.

According to the Navy's engineering and technical personnel, the Americans were quite generous this time, except for a set of AN/SLQ-32 (V) 2/3/5 electronic warfare systems that were dismantled, other electronic equipment was basically not moved.

Yang Weiping has always been extremely sensitive to electronic technology, especially military technology.

In his mind, as long as it is a program, there is a possibility that there will be a back door.

The DA Division is currently making every effort to develop an electronic warfare system for the Navy based on a document provided by Yang Weiping on the Aegis principle and the composition and structure of the core system.

In addition, on the basis of the original naval tactical data system of the Chinese Navy, a new naval tactical data system that meets the current development requirements of the Chinese Navy has been developed.

In view of this, Yang Weiping did not hesitate to order Kong Linhua to personally lead the team to dismantle all the electronic systems of the four Kidd-class destroyers and replace them with the electronic systems developed by our army itself.

At the same time, two MK10 missile launchers were also converted into launchers for C802. In addition, an MK45 single-barreled naval gun was dismantled, and a C802 anti-ship missile launcher was installed.

THE TWO TRIPLE TORPEDO TUBES WERE ALSO REPLACED WITH 650MM STORM TORPEDO TUBES.

At the same time as the Kidd-class destroyers were refitted, the Navy's assembly engineering unit also refitted the ten old Keeling-class ships that had already been received.

THE KILLING, WHICH IS MAINLY FOR THE COAST GUARD, DOES NOT REQUIRE TOO MANY WEAPONS SYSTEMS, AND THE ADDITION OF TWO 25MM TWIN CANNONS IS SUFFICIENT, AND THE VACATED SPACE CAN IMPROVE THE LIVING SPACE AND STORAGE CAPACITY OF THE OFFICERS AND MEN ON BOARD.

The Navy is speeding up the upgrading of equipment in a good and economical manner, and the Air Force is also going all out to upgrade it.

In view of the needs of the future development of the air force, Yang Weiping suggested that China's air force be divided into two parts: land-based air force and sea-based air force.

The original F14 Aviation Independent Brigade was all assigned to the Sea-based Air Force, and all F14A Tomcats in service were modified with power and corresponding air intake modifications.

The Beijing Radar Research Institute has successfully developed the "clairvoyant" series of radars with different functions, such as the "clairvoyant" series of radars with different functions, such as the AN series produced by Hughes Company, which Director Yang brought back from the United States, and combined with the research results of China's original phase air array radar.

The Institute of Electronics and Microelectronics Technology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, after a comprehensive analysis of the avionics system of the F14A Tomcat fighter, combined with the 1533B bus standard of the US military, has also carried out a comprehensive technical upgrade of China's existing avionics system.

In addition to grasping the work of organizing and training troops stationed overseas, Yang Weiping focused on making great efforts to upgrade the industrial technology of China's existing electronics industry.

The Electronic Information Storage and Computer Research Department of the Swiss Tiangong Laboratory has achieved breakthrough results after organically combining DRAM technology, flash memory technology and nanotechnology. Not only successfully developed 16M memory, but also creatively developed a large capacity hard disk with a capacity close to 3.2G.

At present, these latest computer research results have long been introduced by Yang Weiping to the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, which has enabled Huaxia to reach the most advanced level in the world in terms of computer technology research.

The breakthrough in computer memory technology and hard disk technology has added a powerful catalyst to the innovative research and development of monocrystalline silicon and integrated circuits in China's electronics industry.

The function upgrade of microcomputers has also ushered in an era of comprehensive renewal and transformation of the avionics system and flight control system of China's active military aircraft!

The most direct embodiment of this achievement is the upgrade of the F14A Tomcat by the Air Force Equipment Research Institute! )
