Chapter 141: The Transformers Fire

In February, the "Transformers" plan was finalized, the story structure was all built, the first 15 episodes of the story script have been compiled, and animation foundry companies in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan are working day and night, and finally on March 1, it was officially put on the market.

Judging by the sales figures on the first day, the situation is not bad, and most parents have bought comics for their children.

Because of the word-of-mouth foundation of the previous "Top Gun", the sales of "Transformers" on the first day were much better than the sales of "Top Gun" on the first day, and more than 80,000 copies were sold in the first week.

Sales followed, and the toys in stock were quickly sold out, as in history, as soon as "Transformers" was released on the market, it immediately hung a "Transformers" whirlwind in North America.

This storm became more and more intense, and soon a new storm was formed around the world, which was the first time in a year that China Aircraft Industry Company once again blew a wind of "Transformers".

In particular, the United States, a country on wheels, has a deep affection for cars, and cars are their life.

A model of a car that can be transformed into a robot; A model airplane that can be turned into a robot.

All the children in the United States went crazy when they saw the toys and cartoons of these transformable robots, not only children, but also adults fell in love with him.

"Autobots transform and set off" became the hottest quote in the world, and Optimus Prime became the hottest animation star in the world overnight. "Transformers" not only created a big star of Optimus Prime, but also Megatron, the leader of the villain Decepticons, but also couldn't be more popular.

At the same time, there are also red spiders, shocking thunder, and the famous villain Three Musketeers in the previous life, these three famous villain robots are all deformed bodies with Su-35 fighters, so that the sales of "Top Gun" are on fire again.

The Su-35 fighter designed by Ling Shizhe is a complete hit, becoming the world's largest third-generation star fighter.

In addition to the lack of stealth functions, Ling Shizhe's 6S functions for the third-generation fighters, namely supersonic cruise, over-the-horizon missile attack, super-maneuverability of thrust vector nozzles, four-degree fly-by-wire operating system, airborne / passive phased array radar, multi-purpose multi-function and other all-weather air, ground, and sea strike characteristics, have become the standard of third-generation fighters overnight.

When people talk about the third-generation aircraft, the first thing that comes to mind is the Su-35 in "Strong Man Lingyun", and when he thinks of him, he thinks of the 6S standard mentioned by Ling Shizhe in the comics.

People have written to the Air Force, the Department of Defense, Congress, Grumman, and McDonnell Douglas to ask if the third-generation aircraft they are developing has a 6S function, as if the third-generation aircraft manufactured by that aircraft company does not have a 6S function, it cannot be counted as a third-generation aircraft.

The American "Air Force" magazine said that the 6S standard of the third-generation aircraft proposed by the China Aircraft Corporation or DreamWorks pointed out a new direction for the future fighters, but it cannot be done with the existing technology, at least not all, like the 6S mentioned with / passive phased array radar, supersonic cruise, full redundant thrust vector super-large thrust engine, etc., with the current technology can not be done at all, just like the comics say, This is not possible until the 21st century.

MacDonald also called Ling Shizhe to complain, "Ling, do you know how many letters our company receives every day, and they all come to ask how many 6S functions are on the YF-15 aircraft?" ”

Ling Shizhe asked rhetorically, "How did you reply to them like this?" ”

"I didn't reply to a single one, and it all went into the trash. Ha...... Ha...... Ha, I know Ma Ling, 6S can't do it with the current technology, for example, the phased array radar in the comics, which is still in the theoretical research stage, and I don't know when we can get it out, and now we have just mastered the pulse Doppler radar technology, and if you want to jump directly to the third-generation radar, it is simply not possible, but I am very interested in the automatic flight redundancy technology you mentioned in the comics. ”

Ling Shizhe knew why MacDonald called, he came for a flight story mentioned in the comics, which is a real event in history, but the time when he happened was not now, but in the eighties, but Ling Shizhe saw that this accident was very interesting, so he appeared in the comics in advance.

So what kind of accident was this? That's what happened in Israel in the eighties when the very famous F-15 fighter plane landed safely after one of its wings was broken during flight training.

In the summer of 1983, an Israeli Air Force F-15 fighter collided with another fighter during a simulated air combat exercise, knocking off its right wing entirely. However, the pilot did not choose to eject and escape, but finally made an emergency landing, and the pilot was unharmed.

The story is divided into four parts, first, the air collision fighter spilled oil.

Second, the pilot refused to escape and lost the wing.

Third, emergency ground support for high-speed landings.

Fourth, shouting surprises, manufacturers can't believe it.

Because this story really happened in history, Ling Shizhe just changed the time, place, and characters, and the others were copied into the comics according to the real events.

As for the redundant flight control technology mentioned in the story, it was after this incident that McDonnell Douglas got the inspiration and developed such a set of technology, that is, when the aircraft breaks off a wing, tail and other failures, the on-board computer will automatically adjust the flight attitude of the aircraft according to the damage of the aircraft, so that the aircraft can fly smoothly in the air, and help the pilot find the airport where he can land, and finally help the pilot land safely.

This system consists of a set of software and hardware, the hardware is a module computer board, just plug in the expansion slot of the on-board computer, and then install the software on, the installation is very simple, the system is divided into two parts, automatic and manual, and connected with the aircraft operating stick, when the pilot operates, it is the same as the usual flight operation.

In addition to this story, in the latest issue of the comics, there is another story, which is also a true story, which takes place in Iraq in 2005.

According to the cartoon, the Second Persian Gulf War started, Uncle S was overthrown, and when a US cargo plane took off from Baghdad Airport, it was hit by a shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile launched by local guerrillas, and the horizontal tail and vertical tail of the plane were all paralyzed, and the captain relied on adjusting the thrust of the two engines under the wing to keep the plane flying.

After two hours of intense life and death, the captain finally landed the plane safely at Baghdad airport.

As soon as these two issues of the cartoon came out, it caused a big stir in the international aviation community, first of all, people did not believe it, thinking that the relationship between the Chinese aircraft company and McDonnell Douglas was very good, and Ambrera Company's move was to promote McDonnell Douglas's YF-15 fighter, how could a plane land safely when one of its wings was broken? Ambrera is bragging and boasting.

Not only do most people not believe it, but McDonnell Douglas itself feels that it has blown too much.

But soon after, McDonnell Douglas' test flight team successfully landed the plane safely in the flight simulator according to the accident setting in the comics and the accident handling methods in the comics.

At this time, people began to pay attention to it, and various aviation academies, aircraft companies, US Air Force and other heavyweight departments have tested in simulators, and the results have come to the same conclusion: as long as the wing surface load of the aircraft is low enough, and the plane breaks a wing, as long as the pilot is calm and calm, and the operation method is correct, it is entirely possible for the plane to land safely.

As mentioned in the second part of the comics, when the tail of the aircraft is all out of order, adjusting the thrust of the two engines can also make the plane land safely, which has also proved that this method is feasible.

These two proofs have made the "Top Gun" comic named the world's most professional aviation comic, and the sales have also increased significantly, in the past, it was only bought by adults for children, and now even airline pilots have become loyal readers of "Top Gun".

In particular, the results of the investigation of various flight accidents mentioned in the comics have inspired the experienced pilots, and their flying skills have improved accordingly, and the market position of "Top Gun" has been further consolidated.

When people talk about Top Gun comics, the most talked about is the mention of redundant flight control systems in the comics.

Now MacDonald asked on the phone, "Ling, is there really such a system, is this system really so magical?" You're working on him, have you'd gotten to that point? Can I come and take a look? ”

The redundant flight control system is the standard equipment of military and civil aircraft in the 21st century, but he has a key problem, he is based on the integrated avionics system mechanism, but it cannot be completed by the current combined avionics structure.

These are two completely different avionics structures, the integrated avionics system Ling Shizhe has just begun to develop, to finish it Ling Shizhe has the energy to engage in redundant flight control system, MacDonald now asks him for this system, there can be taken out.

Shaking his head, Ling Shizhe told him the situation as it was.

"I see, okay Ling, I'm very interested in the integrated avionics system you said, if you need help, you can call me."

Ling Shizhe refused: "No need Mike, I have hired a lot of flight control experts, we will handle it ourselves." ”

"Ling, don't be in a hurry to refuse me, you know, if this system is to be promoted, it can't do without the support of our aircraft manufacturer, and then you need my help, I just need a small wish."

"What wish?"

"Let McDonnell Douglas be the first to install this system."

"Okay, no problem at all."

Hanging up the phone, Ling Shizhe shook his head, MacDonald said it on the phone, and asked his company's aircraft to be the first to install a new flight control system, and this system had a customer before it was successful, but he knew that this was a big pie drawn by the other party for him, and he really wanted to believe it, and the other party didn't know what conditions to put forward.

Just as Ambrera was steadily advancing, a piece of news from the United States shocked the world.
