Chapter 1550: Must Try It
True, of course, the problem of "bending divergence" of forward-swept wing aircraft was solved. And all of this, thanks to the increasingly rapid development of composite materials over the years, the emergence of composite materials with better performance than traditional aviation-grade aluminum and steel, to Alice Group to solve the "bending divergence" of the swept wing has brought a new idea...... Although the only two tiltrotors and tiltjets that do not fly at supersonic speeds are the only two forward-swept wing aircraft that actually use forward-swept wing wings.
However, compared with the Russian SU-47 "Golden Eagle" technology verification aircraft, these aircraft, which have many similarities in appearance, are still different from the SU-47 camera. Although the planes launched by the Alice Group are all forward-swept wing aircraft, it does not mean that they have pirated the technology of the Russians, and not only the configuration of the wings is still very different from the SU-47, a technology verification aircraft just launched by Russia.
To put it simply, the SU-47 "Golden Eagle" technical verification aircraft is only a technical verification aircraft, and the forward-swept wing gives people the feeling that it is just a simple pair of simplest swept wings "reversed", but the forward-swept wing launched by the Alice Group is an extremely complex geometric shape, and any expert in aerodynamic shape design can see at a glance that the forward-swept wing on this aircraft of the Alice Group can provide more powerful lift. At the same time, it can also provide greater stability and maneuverability to the aircraft in a wider range of speeds.
Moreover, compared with the SU-47 "Golden Eagle" technology verification machine of Russia, which was born in Russia with backward electronic technology, these fighters of the Alice Group have significantly less movable wing surfaces, and the movable wing surface is less, which means that the control system in terms of control can be made simpler, the probability of failure is lower, and it also shows that the technical content is higher.
This also proves from another side that the thrust of the engines of these fighters launched by Alice Group has strong adjustability within a certain range! And the power output should be very strong!
"Beautiful young lady. Can you tell me about these models? ”。 An American lieutenant colonel with a toad mirror and chewing gum appeared in front of the Alice Group's booth, his jaw that was about to pierce the sky, and he was telling the people around him all the time how proud this guy was.
"I'm sorry, these are not models, but real machine scale stereoscopic diagrams," the staff at the booth seemed to be accustomed to the arrogance of these guys, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "If you think this is a model, then you can go to the outdoor exhibition area outside to see the so-called model in your mouth." ”
The training they received before they came, so that they don't have to have any weakness in the face of these arrogant foreigners, on the contrary, if they still show weakness to these foreigners when they have an advantage, they will be severely criticized: we can afford them to sell this thing, and if it doesn't like it, we won't sell it to them with money!
Shop big bully? That's right, it's the big store bully! I'm still a big bully in the store, how can you drop it? Not a lot of words
"Wow!" I didn't expect this staff member to be so unkind to the always arrogant Americans, and all the experts around them couldn't believe it, and their eyes widened: This staff member is a cow, but ...... What the? No way? Many words are not the concept or design launched by Alice Group, but the real machine? -- These guys don't have time to read the newspapers every day to study the gossip that is going on in the international community.
"The real machine? Eight more? The American lieutenant colonel sneered, which clearly meant that he thought that the Alice Group was lying, "I am James of the Air Force Command of the United States Department of Defense, but I have never heard of your Alice Group developing these weapons." ”…,
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean you haven't," the staff member retorted quietly, "You certainly didn't hear of the F-15 fighter when you were a child, but is it because you haven't heard of it?" This Eagle of the US military does not exist? ”
"Wow~" The people around suddenly burst into laughter! This staff member of the Alice Group is so interesting, what can James say? Don't you dare to deny what others say? This face was beaten, cool!
This arrogant and domineering James suddenly turned a pig's liver color when he was given this sentence! He didn't expect that the staff of Alice Group would give them such face!
"Of course, Mr. James, there is no point in you and I arguing here, it is not the behavior of an officer like you to jump to conclusions about a matter that you never knew before, and outside in the outdoor exhibition area, our planes are on display, and there is also an air show, why don't you go over and find out the details?" Before Lieutenant Colonel James, who was almost choked to death, spoke, the sharp-toothed staff of the Alice Group came to this guy's head again, and he had already issued an eviction order: What are you doing here with a guy who doesn't know anything? If you want to talk, wait until you see our stuff!
With a muffled snort, the Lieutenant Colonel James departed with a depressed face: if he didn't go to see and argue with them again, it would seem that he was completely vexatious, although he did have this idea, but at least the necessary face was needed.
――――――――――――――――+
"Sizzle~" When he saw the fighters in the outdoor Alice Group exhibition area, James suddenly gasped! The model is far less shocking than the real thing!
The arrogant, sharp, invincible and independent shape of the four fighters proudly looked down on everything around them. It's like thinking that a chivalrous man who is outstanding disdains the grass chicken next to him.
Obviously, these fighters of the Alice Group are undoubtedly the focus of the entire outdoor exhibition area, which has been crowded with dense visitors, taking pictures of these fierce and domineering aircraft!
Maybe some of my previous thoughts were wrong? James thought about it, and after thinking about it, James decided to learn about the specific performance of these fighters first, so as not to think about the same shame as just now. It doesn't matter if you're embarrassed, but if you're being watched with the eyes of a mentally retarded person, it's not something that the proud James can bear.
Fortunately, unlike the indoor exhibition hall, in this outdoor exhibition venue of the Alice Group, the Alice Group has prepared some performance introduction materials, but it is only limited to the middle and senior military officers of those countries to receive, as for those ordinary visitors who play soy sauce, then I am sorry, thank you for not being sensitive.
"Young master, there is a Lieutenant Colonel James of the U.S. Department of Defense who said he wants to communicate with you." A staff member suddenly walked over and said to Zhang Lan, who was busy working here.
"Communication?" Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment: I'm afraid I'm here to smash the field or find fault, right? A lot of words, but it's okay, just looking at how to find a stepping stone to step on, someone took the initiative to send it to the door, and it is also a person from the US Department of Defense, the weight of this stepping stone is enough!
So after being stunned for a moment, Zhang Lan nodded, "Then please invite this Mr. James over, and I will have a good 'exchange' with him." ”
Looking at Zhang Lan's banter, the staff, who were still a little nervous, breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and went out: It seems that the little young master has long been mentally prepared for the Americans to smash the field.
――――――――――――――――
"Mr. Zhang Lan. Although all countries in the world are now working hard to develop fourth-generation fighters, even fools know that although the performance of an aircraft is important, now the fighter is more of an air weapon platform, and a fighter with superior performance but equipped with garbage is not as threatening as a civil aircraft equipped with advanced weapon systems! ”…,
"Not to mention the performance of your aircraft, even if your aircraft is very advanced, if there is no advanced weapons to match, it is just a relatively difficult target in the air!" Looking at Zhang Lan, Colonel James looked provocative, "Our U.S. military has the most comprehensive range of fighter supporting weapons, but what about your Alice Group?" Could it be that you still have to design weapons for these fighters? ”
"So now I'm curious, who are you Alice Group going to sell these planes to? Could it be that you are planning to sell it to yourself? Speaking of which, James asked sneeringly.
One of the most basic common sense is: any country's own independently developed weapon system will not be compatible with other countries' weapon systems, and even the connection port cannot be universal, for example, it is absolutely impossible for Russian weapons to use American fighters as a platform, which country's aircraft you buy, you must buy their weapons, otherwise the aircraft you spend a high price to buy is a high-performance air "flying" aircraft, and you can't do anything but fly! Of course, the reverse is also true.
"Oh, it is. You're right, it's conventionally true," Zhang Lan nodded, looking unmoved, "But of course we will take into account the occurrence of this situation, in our opinion, a fighter that does not pick weapons is an excellent fighter, that is to say, as a qualified fighter, when using weapons, whether it is produced in the United States, Russia, France or Britain." They can all be used, and can fully exert the power of these weapons, only in this way, can their burden be reduced to the greatest extent. ”
As soon as Zhang Lan's words came out, the military ghostwriters of the surrounding countries had a sympathetic face: they were harmed by this military equipment sales strategy of the United States and Russia, when you use a country's weapons, no matter how good the weapons systems of other countries are, you can't use them, because if you want to replace them, you have to replace them all!
There are few countries that can give this kind of courage, so you can only let them continue to slaughter you, and you can only watch others cut large pieces of meat from you, but you can only bite your lip helplessly, and in the end you can do nothing, and you have to put on a smiling face at the guy who cut the meat from you.
But the military representatives of the old military powers of the United States, Russia and Europe did sneer: how can we continue to make money without doing this? Fool!
"Based on this design concept, we thought, why can't we design a system platform that can use any weapon in the world today?" Zhang Lan said that while saying this, he also spread his voice through the loudspeaker system throughout the entire outdoor exhibition area of the Alice Group, "Under the guidance of this idea, through the hard work of our experts, we finally designed the world's first universal weapon application system with the ability to use weapons produced by any country in the world!" ”
"Huh~" James seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and applauded lightly, looking at Zhang Lan's eyes as if he was looking at a clown, "Mr. Zhang Lan, I have to admit that this joke of yours is wonderful, but you also have to admit that a joke is just a joke." ”
Not only did James look at Zhang Lan as if he was looking at a clown, but even the guys from these surrounding countries looked at Zhang Lan as if they were looking at a clown: A set of air-based combat platforms can use the weapons of country A, the weapons of country B, and the weapons of country C? This idea, of course, is too good news for those countries that are extremely dependent on foreign purchases of military weapons and equipment. …,
However, a basic common sense is that in order to ensure the national defense and security of one's own country, the data interface, transmission mode and working mechanism of any country's military weapons are unique, and the weapons produced by the United States are not to mention that they are used on Russian fighters, and even Russian fighters cannot even be mounted!
This is basic common sense! It is a common sense that anyone who knows a little bit about military strategy will know, and now Zhang Lan is actually here to say to everyone that they have developed a system that can be applied to all airborne weapons in the world, this ...... It's a ridiculous joke!
"Really? Hehe. That's really embarrassing, this joke, our Alice Group has already done it," Zhang Lan shrugged noncommittally, "In fact, just last month, our system has been officially completed after the final testing work, in addition to the world's various airborne nuclear weapons that cannot be carried, we can use any airborne type of air-to-air, ground, and sea combat weapons in the world," he said, turning around, "Unfortunately, this system was installed by us on the aircraft that our Alice Group exhibited this time." ”
There was a sudden weird cold scene in the audience: everyone looked at Zhang Lan with a relaxed face in disbelief, although they knew that at this time, it was absolutely impossible for Alice Group to tell lies, because if they lied, they would be exposed immediately, so in other words, what Zhang Lan said here is true? But the knowledge system architecture formed over the years silently tells them how ridiculous all this is!
Yes, that's right, it's ridiculous!
"Ha, haha~" After being stunned for a long time, James swallowed hard, and finally said a sentence dryly, "Mr. Zhang Lan, this joke is not funny." ”
"No, no, Mr. James, I never said it was a joke," Zhang Lan gently shook her index finger, "I never tell jokes." The plane is here, and if you want to ask for proof that what I said is true, it's too easy! Don't you have all the weapons systems on display here, and if you are willing to take out some of your own country's airborne weapons and test them on our planes, then you will know everything? Facts always speak louder than words! ”
That's right, but facts speak louder than words, and the eyes of the military representatives of countless third world countries lit up: if what the manager of the Alice Group said was true, then it was acceptable for the plane to be sold more expensive, after all, in the future, their own country would be subject to much less constraints on the later use of weapons, and it would be possible to shop around.
Countless people looked at James in front of Zhang Lan representing the U.S. military, Andre representing the Russian military in the crowd, Louis representing the French military, and John representing the British military, and their eyes kept turning around them and Zhang Lan, and kept guessing what they would do: yes? Or don't say yes?
Emotions such as anticipation, joy, apprehension, and schadenfreude filled the eyes of many onlookers around them.
"Promise them."
"Promise them."
Almost at the same time, a familiar voice sounded from the built-in invisible headphones hidden in James and Andre's ear canals: an order from their own Minister of Defense - since they came into contact with this fighter of the Alice Group, the defense ministers of the United States, Russia, France and Britain have been frowning and watching the every move of the Alice Group, and when Zhang Lan said that this fighter can use the vast majority of the world's anti-air, ground and sea combat weapons, after a slight contemplation, The defense ministers of four countries made the same decision at the same time: to try.
Yes, definitely try it! Although I am not sure whether Zhang Lan's words just now are true or not, this kind of thing is originally rather credible than not, and it is just that it is not true, but once it is true, it means that almost all of his country's foreign military weapons sales strategies are facing a comprehensive adjustment!
So, you have to get tested yourself! Be sure to put it to the test! This is an important issue related to one's own country's military strategy! Even if you know that Alice Group is most likely stepping on your shoulders and using yourself as a stepping stone to promote them, you don't have a choice, if you don't make this choice, you are already helping them do publicity, what will others think? Behold, they didn't dare to do even the simplest experiment, which shows that it was really possible that the plane of the Alice Group was real.
It's a very simple truth, the lesser of two harms, who knows how to choose when faced with such a problem.
"Very well, I'll arrange this right away." James took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Lan's gaze, which became very weird.
Andre, Louis and John, looking at Zhang Lan's gaze, also began to become weird......
