"Experiment with this project now!" The general of the Ministry of Defense who came to watch this experiment waved his hand without hesitation, and it seemed that he immediately wanted to carry out this experiment

"Well, I'm sorry, guys," Jill played the role of a disgrace in this moment when everyone was very happy, and played the role of a disappointing person, "We only built 12 engines for experiments......

Needless to say, only 12 engines were built, and all of them had their own uses. Well, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

As if a balloon had suddenly burst, everyone present suddenly thought of this problem: according to the original request, the Ministry of Defense only ordered the Alice Group to build 12 of these small solid-fuel ramjet supersonic engines, eight of which were used for this test, and the other four engines were used for the test after the experiment was successful, that is, there is no engine now.

A loud sigh rang out! The people who were still in high spirits just now suddenly felt like a slap on the high head at this time, and all of them were like plague chickens, drooping their heads.

"But there is another project, but I want to consult the opinions of the leaders to see if there is a need to launch?" Jill's face is smiling, but no matter how you look at it, there is a little pride in it after successfully playing tricks.

Zhang Lan remembers very clearly that when she was a child, she opened a triangular opening on a family's big pumpkin that looked like a watermelon was ripe, pulled a puddle of poop inside, and then snickered and secretly watched the family cut the pumpkin with poop inside and the outside that had grown on the outside, with this expression on his face.

In an instant, everyone gritted their teeth in Jill as they looked at him, no one would be able to maintain such a good attitude after being tricked.

However, these experts who have been conquered by the technical strength shown by Alice Group do not have so many scruples, and an expert from the Luoyang Optoelectronic Technology Development Center asked impatiently, "May I ask Miss Jill, has the Ministry of Defense entrusted you with any other projects?" ”

After asking this question, the expert realized his gaffe in hindsight, and his years of military equipment research and development career made this expert deeply understand one thing: what should not be asked, never ask! It was only after the question that the expert realized that he had asked a question that he should not have asked, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the major general of the Ministry of Defense. As a result, what made him feel very comforted was that the general's face was also confused and curious.

Obviously, the major general didn't know what was going on, so instead of being angry and reproachful, he looked at the expert with a hint of curiosity and joy...... I am glad that this expert asked the question in his heart, and the major general is actually very interested and curious about the question that Jill said.

"That's not it, it's not a commission from the Ministry of Defense, it's just a little bit of an idea that we had in mind when we were developing this solid-fuel ramjet project."

Jill's remarks made the military officials and experts present breathe a sigh of relief at the same time: it is better that he is not spying on state secrets.

Since it is not a state secret, the expert of the Luoyang Optoelectronic Technology Development Center suddenly became much bolder, and asked Jill with some embarrassment and embarrassment, "Miss Jill, ......?"

The meaning of the words is obvious, can you tell us about the project you want to talk about? But after all, this project is still their own Alice Group, and the reporters rashly asked it, and in the eyes of others, they were suspected of spying on other people's company secrets, and it was normal for the expert to be a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

What made everyone's hearts sigh was that Jill did not hesitate or hesitate at all, and said briskly, "It's nothing, it's just that we designed a rear-view rear-firing radar that can be used with these air-to-air missiles, and I want to ask the leaders what they mean." ”

Rear-view rear-firing radar? Everyone present gasped in unison!

These people present are not engaged in the military industry, but also have many relationships with the military industry, so naturally they will not be unfamiliar with the term "rear-view rear-firing radar"!

This kind of radar, which is different from conventional airborne radar, but is mounted on the tail of a fighter jet and scans backwards to control weapons such as missiles, was the first to appear

For a long time, the rear defense of fighters was the weakest link, and in air combat, the opponent's "butt" became the object of all the pilots' efforts to "caress it", and the "tail line" also became a good character that pilots were all looking for. Under the threat of this huge crisis, how to strengthen the defense and attack capabilities of their own planes has become a difficult problem that the world's military powers have been tackling.

In this regard, the lines taken by the United States and Soviet Russia represent two directions of development.

There are two main routes taken by Soviet Russia: installing a radar with the ability to guide backward fire at the tail of the aircraft, and then equipping it with an air-to-air missile that directly launches at the rear of its own aircraft; The second is the so-called over-the-shoulder launch.

The so-called direct rear launch: that is, when used, the missile is suspended on the aircraft by a special launcher, the missile is mounted in the anti-aircraft course, and the warhead is backward, which is exactly the opposite direction of the missile mounted by the traditional aircraft. During the flight of the aircraft with the bomb, the rudder surface of the missile is locked, and the tail nozzle of the missile engine is plugged with a conical plug. When the missile is launched, it is ejected backward by a small gas generator or catapult device on the carrier aircraft, so that the missile can quickly offset the huge forward kinetic energy given by the carrier aircraft, and shorten the distance of the missile forward as much as possible. During this period, the rudder surface of the missile was always locked, and the missile relied on only four gas actuators to maintain stability and maintain direction. When the speed of the missile is close to zero, the missile engine ignites, blows off the blockage of the tail nozzle, and the rudder surface is unlocked, so that the missile flies backward along the tracking trajectory to the target.

The so-called over-the-shoulder launch refers to the normal loading of the missile according to the course of the aircraft, and the warhead forward. When launched, the missile shoots out to the front of the carrier aircraft, and then with the cooperation of the carrier aircraft fire control system and the airborne radar, the missile quickly turns l80 degrees to attack the target behind the tail. ,

Because the data link systems of the former Soviet Union and Russia were not as developed as those of the United States, the Soviet Union adopted the method of installing a small guidance radar on the tail of the aircraft, and usually this kind of airborne radar seemed to be a rear-looking interception radar, which was generally installed between the two engine nozzles of advanced combat aircraft such as the Su-30 and Su-35, so that the carrier aircraft could understand the situation behind the tail and guide the missiles to attack the targets behind the carrier aircraft.

Contrary to the former Soviet Union and the Russians, the Americans, who have good electronics industry technology and data link technology, are taking a similar, but still somewhat different path.

The nature of businessmen makes them not choose to use rear-view rear-firing radar, but to use a datalink system to use the same fleet or even a large foundation as themselves; The radar guides its own missiles with the ability to launch "over-the-shoulder" and large off-axis angles to attack.

It is difficult to say which of these two rear-view and rear-firing technologies of the United States and Russia is better, and which one has advantages, but from now on, for the domestic air force, under the condition that the joint combat capabilities of many combat units, such as data link technology, 3I, 4I, and airborne early warning aircraft, have not yet been integrated, there is no doubt that the former Soviet Union's practice of equipping aircraft with rear-view and rear-firing radars is more in line with domestic national conditions.

These experts have been engaged in the military industry all their lives, and no one can be clearer than them about the development of the domestic air force, the current situation of equipment, and the bottleneck, so when they heard Zhang Lan say this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up: This is a good thing! Damn Maozi, in the sale to us of -30MKKII. and -30MKKK, this is a would rather sell to India than sell to us at all!

But for this situation, although the domestic experts are extremely angry, there is nothing to be done!

But now listening to Jill, it seems that their Alice Group is working on this project, and it doesn't seem to be as stingy and greedy as the damn old hair......

Zhang Lan shouted loudly: Is the performance of this engine we just gave you poor? It is better than the performance and indicators of the MK36ModXX series single-stage small-scale solid-fuel ramjet engine used on the AIM-9 "Sidewinder" series of short-range air-to-air combat missiles used by the Americans themselves.

"Rear-view rear-firing radar?" Old Man Xiao looked at Zhang Lan with infinite surprise in his eyes, looked at Zhang Lan in disbelief, pulled away the experts beside him almost roughly, and jumped in front of Jill with a sharp edge, making people wonder whether he was sixty or sixteen years old, looking at Jill with excitement and expectation, "Similar to the kind of rear-view rear-firing fire control radar on the Russian Su-35 fighter?" ”

"That's right," Jill nodded, then scratching his head in embarrassment, "but this project is only a semi-finished product of ours, and we thought of it when designing this missile engine in light of the current state of our country's air force equipment." We've done the most basic initial design, but we haven't made the finished product yet, because ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Lan stopped talking and turned to look at the officer of the Ministry of Defense.

Everyone understood what this kid meant: although we have such technical strength, it seems that we don't need to make a beta version of this project until we know your intentions, right?

No one has any opinion on Zhang Lan's expression, because this is very normal: since your attitude is still unclear, then we didn't spend money in vain, right? What if we invest a lot of money in R&D, but no one ends up researching the project?

No one's money is blown by the wind, unlike the military R&D units of various countries, as long as there is a task or idea, you can apply to the superior for R&D funds, and the previous R&D funds are paid by Alice Group itself, and Alice Group itself is naturally responsible for its own funds.

"Then ......" Old man Xiao opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, although he was old enough, he didn't have to worry about revealing other people's secrets, he also believed that if he made this request, Alice Group would probably not refuse, but if he relied on the old and sold the old through this matter, don't say anything about others, the old man himself looked down on himself.

"No problem," to the surprise of Old Man Xiao, before he could open his mouth, when he was thinking about whether to put on his old face, Jill had already smiled and spoke, "If the old man doesn't mind, just guide our work." ”

Leak? Jill is definitely not worried about this problem, a modern military equipment, the design of the hardware is certainly a very important factor, but a factor that can not be ignored is that the role of software in it is becoming more and more important! The same hardware radar, the use of different supporting software, the actual combat performance that can be played is absolutely different, the 1.0 version of the software, may not play the performance of the 2.0 version of 50!

Therefore, the Alice Group, which has absolute software technology in its hands, is not worried that these experts will steal their company's things at a glance, not to mention that they are not engaged in radar, even if they are high-radar, on the premise of only seeing the hardware, crack the software technology of the Alice Group? It's nothing short of a dream!

This is what the military industrial complex of the countries of the world has been trying to do, but so far none of them have been able to succeed. On the contrary, this opportunity to befriend these experts is exactly one thing that Zhang Lan cannot ask for, and take this opportunity to take this opportunity to dig up a few people from these units, but in the procurement of certain equipment, these experts are saying good things for themselves, even the General Armament Department cannot ignore the voices of these experts.

Seeing that Alice Group agreed to the request that they were embarrassed to open up so generously, a burst of irrepressible joy suddenly appeared on the faces of all the experts! Even the officers of the military were equally happy on their faces: they could take this opportunity to have a rough assessment of the technical capabilities of the Alice Group's rear-view rear-firing radar from the attitudes of these experts.

If the technical prowess displayed by the Alice Group in this regard is indeed very good, then what reason does the Ministry of Defense have to say no? Anyway, the country has already equipped so much technical equipment from the Alice Group, and since they now have their products in terms of radar, it seems that it is not a big deal that the radar that matches the missile also uses them. ,

In this way, these experts have basically forgotten the small frustration of not conducting the experiment just now: these research experts are more interested in what they have known than what they have known.

——————————————————

When the major general of the Ministry of National Defense reported the information here to Minister Liang and obtained Minister Liang's consent, in just one hour, these experts and officials of the Ministry of Defense had already appeared at the Alice Group's Science and Technology Research Center.

It is said to be a science and technology research center, but the current research center may no longer be able to be described by the word "center", and it seems more appropriate to describe it with the word "city". With the rapid development of Alice Group over the years, the proportion of investment in scientific and technological research and development has been increasing, and the scale of the original scientific and technological research center has also become larger and larger.

However, it is slightly different from ordinary cities, although on the surface, this city is simply a typical representative of a modern residential city, with tall trees and green shade between buildings. It is not used in ordinary cities to build cities in order to maximize the development of land resources, but there is a large gap between each building, and the greening rate has reached an astonishing 71.4, and the air is very fresh when you walk on the road. But in fact, the cameras in inconspicuous positions and the strange devices next to the cameras silently show that this comfortable city is actually in a state of looseness on the outside and strictness on the inside.

It's just that what the average person doesn't know is that in addition to these cameras on top of buildings, there are numerous cameras and self-defense systems disguised in various forms, covering every corner of the city! With numerous cameras and self-defense systems to ensure that the city is covered by no blind spots, anyone who wants to do something bad here is a fantasy!

Moreover, entering this city, strict inspections are required, all the elites who work here are the elites of the Alice Group, ordinary people are absolutely not qualified to enter here, even a small shop in this area, a most inconspicuous cleaner, are the kind of employees who can be absolutely trusted by the Alice Group.

"Your working environment here is very good." Old man Xiao, who was sitting in an electric car in the city, looked at the city's spacious streets and lush green trees, and couldn't help but praise Jill.

"Yes," Jill nodded, and the mischievous thought suddenly came to him, and he deliberately glanced at the major general of the Ministry of Defense, "Old man, I wonder if you are interested in working with us?" ”

Scare! What the? Hearing Jill's words, the major general officer of the Ministry of Defense, who originally had a serious face, turned white with fright at the moment! The expressions of the others were no better, and they glared at Jill one by one!

The expression was like that of a three-year-old kid looking at the bad boy who snatched his beloved toy.
