Chapter 182: Iron Striking Requires Its Own Hardness
"Little Five, what are you worried about? When I came back from visiting the Aircraft Museum, I looked worried about the country and the people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć "White Paterson Air Force Base has arranged accommodation for the Chinese delegation, which is the dormitory where the non-commissioned officers usually live. If you live in a hotel outside, it will be very troublesome to arrange all kinds of security, and the base is heavily guarded, and it is not so easy to insert people to carry out assassination in a short time.
Military accommodation was originally simple, even in the United States, the base accommodation was not very luxurious, the simple and clean house only had two single beds, and a wooden table was placed under the window for people to write. Chen Xu and his eldest brother live in the same room, the eldest brother has been feeling like a stirring mung bean porridge in his head since he skydived that day, and he still feels that it is not enough to sleep almost 24 hours a day in the past two days, so he wants to go to bed early, so as not to lose his energy in tomorrow's meeting. Chen Xu was worried about the safety of his eldest brother, so he followed him to the dormitory, first observed the surrounding environment to determine the security situation, and then sat on the bed and accompanied the eldest brother to wait for him to fall asleep before going out to do other things.
"I'm thinking about whether we should specialize in the aero engine of the same core aircraft or get two sets of engines for different core aircraft at the same time, which makes me very entangled." Chen Xu said his thoughts, and the eldest brother also knew about the aero engine, after all, this was the company's biggest deal now, and he was very concerned about it.
"You guy can't change his greed, I told you a long time ago to choose the F101, this engine was originally the engine used by the Americans for the B-1A, it is also a high-altitude and high-speed bomber, and there is no big problem with installing it on the Valkyrie after a little modification." The eldest brother lay on the bed and covered himself with a thick quilt, yawning and talking
I have worked in the military industry all my life, and I know the truth that I can't chew it out if I am greedy, and I don't like Chen Xu's idea of wanting to run before he learns to walk. Let the United States imperialist develop an engine suitable for Valkyrie on the basis of F101, and then hand over the research and development technology to China, which is of great help to our country to thoroughly understand the technology of F110 spare tire, after all, the core machine used in F101 is the same, the thrust and performance of the same core machine are completely different, and the structural changes in the middle of the period are very worthy of scientists to learn and study.
Chen Xu sat on the bed, stepped on the edge of the bed with his left foot, picked the dead skin on the footboard with his hand, looked at the swaying treetops outside the window and said, "Let's always think about the future!" It will take at least ten years to develop the core engine of an aero engine, and then it will take more than ten years to experiment, install and upgrade, and a qualified aero engine can ensure that the country does not have to worry about aircraft power problems in 30 years. During this period, the country will start the development of the next generation of aero engines, and the competition mechanism of the two companies such as the United States and Pratt & Whitney to develop the core engine at the same time is worth our reference. Aero engines belong to a high technology that can no longer catch up if it is slightly backward, and if only one core engine technology is introduced, in case of problems in research and development, the Air Force will not even have a choice of spare engines. ā
"That's a reason, but we can't keep running behind the ass of Western countries! Aero engines belong to the inheritance of high-tech, once we introduce two American aero engines, we can only continue the road drawn by the Americans in the future, at least for a few decades to make a breakthrough. Therefore, I think it is better to introduce a technology, so as to absorb the experience of research and development, and then divide a group of people to go out and start another engine with the characteristics of our flower family, so that the stability is there, and the spirit of adventure has not fallen. The eldest brother put his hands behind his head, looked at the ceiling, and said seriously.
"But this is the most advanced core machine technology in the United States, and it is too difficult for me to give up one of them." Chen Xu has always been reluctant to give up, after all, it is difficult to make a trade-off.
"Why make it so complicated, I have long said that the country has no money now, no matter how important the aero engine is, it is only a part of the national industry, if it takes up too many resources, it will affect many other scientific research projects, which will outweigh the losses." Chen Weiguo turned over in the quilt, and he had no choice but to persuade his younger brother's willfulness.
After seeing the eldest brother fall asleep, Chen Xu helped him tuck the quilt before closing the door and leaving, he can't do anything in the air base of the Americans, the phone call will be monitored, and the contact with the outside subordinates will also be monitored, he went out just to walk around the base, both to relax and to sort out his thinking, maybe he is indeed a little too greedy as the eldest brother said, regardless of the actual situation to introduce American high technology, in the short term it seems to be very cost-effective, but in the long run it is harmful.
Just like the XB-70 Valkyrie, the United States invested heavily in research and development, and in the end it only became a museum exhibit. If some high-tech things do not meet the actual needs of the country, no matter how high the technology is, it will have no use value, and it will only consume the country's limited funds and manpower in vain.
White Paterson's airport is full of more than 80 Galaxy C5s, because it is a strategic transport fleet, ready to go to war at any time, so the military gray fuselage is neatly arranged, and it can slide into the runway and take off at any time, which is very tense atmosphere during the Cold War.
The Datuopu airfield of the 18th Division was also full of planes, and there was no shortage of Galaxy transport planes among them, but it did not have such a tense atmosphere as the US imperialist. The Datuopu airfield is a pure apron aircraft, which has no combat effectiveness at all, and most of the fighters do not even have pilots. However, the planes of the US imperialists can go to the battlefield at any time, and the number of pilots is sufficient, and once the army is exhausted, it can be quickly recruited from the civilian population, and it can be put into the battlefield with a little training.
As for how to compensate the Air Force, the air force will send officials to negotiate, first of all, the plane will definitely have to be compensated, and secondly, the mental losses must also be compensated, all of which are trivial matters.
Before I knew it, night had fallen, the air base was brightly lit, and Chen Xu and those pilots on duty ate a sumptuous air force meal in the canteen, no matter which country the pilots ate the best.
Flying an airplane is not only physically exhausting, but also mentally exhausting, so it must be well nourished. People like those who want to sleep all day long and doze off at work belong to people with extremely poor mental strength, and such people will never be able to be pilots.
Chen Xu happens to be the kind of person whose mental strength is so good that he is perverted, so he also learned to fly an airplane back then, but out of work needs, he only learned to fly propeller aircraft, helicopters, J-8 fighters, and Boeing 747 These four types of aircraft are piloted, don't look at Chen Xu is an agent, but he especially likes the feeling of being free in the sky, so he flies the plane to the sky as soon as he has time, and over time his flight hours have exceeded 8,000 hours, which can be called a senior old pilot. This is also the reason why he can maneuver and dodge the Galaxy Transport Plane when it is in danger, the operating system of the plane is almost the same, as long as he is bold, there is basically no problem.
Training pilots is very costly, like a third-generation fighter flying in the sky for an hour, and the cost of fuel, checking the wear and tear of parts, ground maintenance, and other cost-consuming items is almost more than 300,000 yuan. For example, many pilots in China fly about 180 hours a year, which is very similar to countries like the United States and Israel that fly 200 hours a year.
If it is a third-generation jet fighter, flying 180 hours a year, the total flight cost will exceed half a billion. This is not a lot of money, if a bomber like Valkyrie who drinks high-purity special aviation fuel is introduced in the future to carry out a long-range flight training, the fuel money alone can burn down a house in Beijing's Fifth Ring Road.
This is not enough to turn on afterburner, if you carry out supersonic cruise, this rapid state will seriously deplete the life of the engine, and the average fighter will be scrapped after a few times of afterburner and will have to be replaced.
It costs too much money to train pilots, which is why during the period of the big convulsions, domestic pilots are generally undertrained, and the whole country is messed up where does the money come from for training? Chen Xu got hundreds of planes from the United States, but he couldn't find a few qualified pilots, so he had to send the trainees to the United States for two years of advanced training before he could come back to take on the big responsibility.
In the past two years, the international political and military situation has changed so much, although the Datuopu airport is full of third-generation fighters, even the latest F15 fighters, but the Soviet bombers are arrogantly provoking on the border, and we can only hold our breath and cannot fight back, because no one drives our planes!
This kind of thing has started since a large number of weapons from the United States were sent to China, and Chen Xu could see such news from the internal newspapers and periodicals of the military every once in a while, but he could only act as a blind man and did not see it, and the whole army was holding its breath!
At present, the country has a large number of pilots receiving training in the United States, and the United States bears all the expenses, which saves the country a lot of trouble. When these pilots come home from training, it will not be difficult for these guys to train for 180 hours a year given the country's booming economic situation over the years.
In this atmosphere of the Cold War, it is not only necessary to make great efforts to modernize weapons, but also to train a large number of soldiers who operate advanced military machinery, these are the soft power of a country, the Soviet Union is sure that China does not have the strength to counterattack, so it dares to be unscrupulous on the border, if we can take off fighters every time to suppress, they will definitely die down if they do not take advantage.
Iron must also be hard, as long as it is strong, the Soviet Union will take the initiative to retreat!
After all, the current international political situation is that the Soviet Union is strong and weak, and the Soviet Union is still the boss of the Comintern, and if the Soviet Union fails to suppress China militarily, it will be tantamount to losing! As long as the flower growers ensure a draw, they can greatly enhance their international influence, and if they do it a few more times, everyone may think that China is a power like the Soviet Union, which is a great benefit to the country's global expansion of influence.
