Chapter 1727: Our Pulse Detonation Engine
"Mr. Lin, I'm Lu Xiaopeng," as soon as the phone was connected, a particularly eager voice sounded in Lin Hongfei's ears, "I have good news for you." ”
"Old Lu?" Lin Hongfei didn't expect that Old Man Lu would be able to call his mobile phone, and he was a little surprised for a while, but he was more happy: Good news? Good news, "Did the Ministry of Defense send us the request for a new aircraft?" ”
"No, we wish they had sent us the request earlier, but I heard that it will take a while," Lu Lao's voice was still very eager, but compared with just now, it had eased a lot, and it seemed that Old Man Lu was not ordinary excited just now, "That's right, we have made a new discovery when we sorted out the information you brought." ”
The old man is interesting, as he gets older, he actually has a bit of childlike innocence, and he actually began to tease Lin Hongfei.
"Oh, what discovery?" Lin Hongfei was also a little curious.
In recent years, there have been too many kinds of materials from Russia, and in addition to pulling back the wagons in the first year, there has been no shortage of materials moving back and forth in recent years, which has led to a very bad situation: those comrades who are responsible for translating materials always have incomplete translated materials in their hands, and it is normal for Lin Hongfei to not understand some situations.
"Pulse detonation engine, it's a pulse detonation engine!" Old Man Lu's excited voice was trembling, "The Americans are desperately developing a new generation of aero engines!" ”
"Pulse detonation engine?" Lin Hongfei gasped!
As a leader in the domestic aviation industry, Lin Hongfei is no stranger to the pulse detonation engine, which is completely different from the traditional turbo SHI aero engine, without the unique compressor and turbine blades on the turbine engine, and the new concept of power plant that uses high temperature and high pressure gas generated by intermittent or pulsed detonation wave to generate thrust, which is born from the earliest pulse jet engine, but further developed and uses the detonation wave engine has many advantages, especially its ability to adapt to the speed of Mach 0 to 25, altitudes from 0 to 100 km are considered to be the next generation of aero engines.
"Mr. Lin is very familiar with pulse detonation engines?" Lin Hongfei's voice was full of surprise, which showed that Lin Hongfei was not generally familiar with the pulse detonation engine, which suddenly made Old Man Lu a little curious.
"It's not familiar. It's just a little curious," but when it comes to curiosity, Lin Hongfei is really a little curious, "Old man, with my understanding of pulse detonation engines, the current research level of pulse detonation engines in various countries is still stuck in the small thrust pulse detonation engines used in small UAVs and missiles, although it is rumored that the Americans' 'Goddess of Dawn' new generation of hypersonic strategic reconnaissance aircraft uses pulse detonation engines, but' Is the Goddess of Dawn' really there, but does this engine's skill really make you so excited? Isn't our country also high in its own pulse detonation engine? ”
"Do you know that our country is also engaged in pulse detonation engines?" Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, the old man was not only surprised. Rather, it was shocked.
"Zhilu said," Lin Hongfei said honestly, "If I remember correctly, it should have been last year, when the Combustion and Propulsion Laboratory of Western University of Technology started the research of pulse detonation engines with the funding of the National Natural Science Foundation of China...... That's right. Don't talk about that, old man. This batch of information is remarkable? ”
"Look at me. It's all confused by you," Old Man Lu laughed self-deprecatingly, and then he woke up to Lin Hongfei's identity: Also, as the chairman of AVIC Second Group, how could Lin Hongfei not know the Republic's research on pulse detonation engines? "This material belongs to the Rurika Design Bureau. With this engine, we are sure that within five years we will have our own pulse detonation engine for hypersonic missiles. ”
"So powerful?! Surface-to-air missile or anti-ship missile? Lin Hongfei suddenly grew his mouth, "5 years? ”
Lin Hongfei had long known that the former Soviet Union had begun to play with pulse detonation engines and variable-cycle jet engines, but their technical level could actually allow us to come up with missile engines in 5 years? That's too much of an exaggeration, isn't it?
"Both surface-to-air missiles and anti-ship missiles can be used." Old Man Lu's voice was full of eagerness, "Mr. Lin, look at this project, are we working with Xi'an University of Technology?" The combustion and propulsion laboratory of the Western University of Technology has accumulated a part of the technology and talents, and the two sides have joined forces, our country's surface-to-air missiles and anti-ship missiles can achieve ultra-high speeds of more than Mach 5, and even later models exceed Mach 8 It is not impossible. ”
Aerospace fighters? Lin Hongfei's head was a little dizzy.
Although he already knew that the Republic of the Republic had actually begun the secret pre-research work of the fourth-generation fighter now, and the Republic's fourth-generation fighter J-20 had already flown before his return, but the aerospace fighter using a pulsed detonation engine? Isn't that a bit of a fantasy?
What is an Aerospace Fighter? That's a fighter that can fight at an altitude of more than 50,000 meters, this and that...... Did the news come too suddenly?
Fortunately, Old Man Lu's words made Lin Hongfei's heart fall back into his stomach: The world is still normal......
"Of course, it may take 20 years or more to develop a high-thrust pulse detonation engine that can help aerospace fighters, and it will even take 30 years to develop an aerospace fighter, but we can afford to wait, and the Americans don't ...... it."
Lin Hongfei didn't hear what Old Man Lu said below, he just heard a little: 20 years or 30 years later, it's good......
Of course, Lin Hongfei knows very well that now is not the time to worry about whether to worry about the problem in 20 years or 30 years, the problem now is a very tricky problem, Lin Hongfei said with some embarrassment, "Old man, I have an event in the State Guesthouse now, it will take a while, and I may not be able to do without it." ”
Who is Mr. Lu? Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, I knew what kind of situation Lin Hongfei is facing now, there is an event in the state guesthouse that can't leave? That is, there are major events to participate in, but it is still the kind of closed.
What can I do? The old man didn't want to wait a minute.
"In this way, you can write me a letter of authorization, and the old man and I will bring the information to talk to those old guys from the Western University of Technology?" After a moment's hesitation, the old man said.
"That's ......," Lin Hongfei thought for a while. I always feel that the old man is too child's play, "Since the pulse detonation engine project of Western University of Technology is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, it must be a top-secret project at the national level, is it not good for you to come to the door so directly?" ”
"Uh......"
It's not just not good, it's just bad. The old man knows very well that even if he has a clear understanding of the situation in the combustion and propulsion laboratory of the Western University of Technology, it is not suitable to go directly to find it, this nature is too serious. It's just that the old man reacted quickly enough, "That'...... Mr. Lin, why don't you report this matter to the leaders? ”
"Okay." Lin Hongfei pondered for a moment and nodded, "I'll report to the leaders of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and let's see what the leaders mean...... Lu Lao, you first sort out the information we have at hand. ”
"Take a good ......" I heard that Lin Hongfei was willing to take the initiative to find the comrades of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. What else is Old Man Lu unhappy about? Suddenly, a stack of voices responded.
……………………
When he hung up the phone, Lin Hongfei smiled bitterly and shook his head: What is this called! But depressed is depressed. He still has to report the situation to Ding Dachuan, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. "Hello chief, I'm Lin Hongfei, I have an important situation to report to you."
In order to keep secrets, Lin Hongfei even asked the comrades of the State Guesthouse to take him to the confidential communication room to make this special call.
"What's important?" Ding Dachuan is also a little strange, Lin Hongfei called his own secret line, that is, there is an important situation to report to himself? But...... Lin Hongfei is not a person who can't tell the difference. He groaned for a moment, and then said, "What's the situation?" ”
"The data translators of our group recently found some information on the pulse detonation engine developed by the Lyureka Design Bureau in the former Soviet Union, and wanted to work on this project together with the combustion and propulsion laboratory of the Western University of Technology."
"What? What did you say? Do you have information on the pulse-detonation engines of the Rurika Design Bureau in the former Soviet Union? Hearing the name that came out of Lin Hongfei's mouth. Ding Dachuan almost bit his tongue.
Lin Hongfei has been tirelessly committed to picking up the rags from Russia over the years, and he also knows that over the years, the aviation department of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and the predecessor of AVIC Second Group, Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., has made such great progress in material technology and design concepts, and these materials obtained from Russia and the former Soviet republics have made considerable contributions, which can be ...... Nima! This is a pulse-detonation engine!
Now he finally understands why Lin Hongfei would use a confidential line to contact him, because this is indeed a matter that requires a confidential line.
The former Soviet Union began the research of pulse detonation engine as early as the 50s, although the period was interrupted for a while, but after the 80s, with the development of the ultra-hypersonic vehicle plan, the United States and the Soviet Union two major military blocs invariably picked up the pulse detonation engine this "artifact" again, the republic was also stimulated during this period, after repeated arguments, it was decided to carry out our own pulse detonation engine by the combustion and propulsion laboratory of the Western University of Technology last year, for more than a year, Although the progress is not fast, but it is orderly, according to the current plan, I believe that in 10 years should be able to complete the prototype manufacturing of the small thrust pulse detonation engine, but Director Ding did not expect that at this time, Lin Hongfei would actually tell himself that they found the information of the pulse detonation engine of the Rurika Design Bureau from the pile of old papers in Russia.
"Is the information true?" Not only unconsciously, Ding Dachuan's voice already had a trill.
If the J-10 under development is the first third-generation fighter with a modern concept in the Republic, and the J-20 that has just begun pre-research is the first fourth-generation fighter in the Republic of China that is truly synchronized with the world's top aviation technology, then in the country's view, the pulse detonation engine engaged in by the Western University of Technology is the Republic's unique weapon in the next 100 years!
"During this time, the chief designer of Hongdu Aviation has been helping us to do pre-research and analysis of the ground support attack aircraft project, the old man knows Russian, so he helped us translate some Russian materials by the way. The old man is engaged in aircraft design, and this time he ......"
Hearing Lin Hongfei say this, even Ding Dachuan could only smile bitterly: Lu Xiaopeng? No wonder!
Who is Lu Xiaopeng? Although the J-12 was not put into production due to various reasons, it did not prevent him from being recognized as the No. 1 "ghost talent" in the aviation design circles of the Republic. Now that he has found Lao Maozi's things, he is not excited to hell.
But it is precisely because of this that Ding Dachuan is embarrassed, "This ...... It is said that the Western University of Technology has just made a little achievement......"
"We didn't want to monopolize the merits of the comrades of the Western University of Technology, we brought the information from our side. Engage in this project with the comrades of Xi'an University of Technology, "Listening to Ding Dachuan's mouth, there is a loose meaning, Lin Hongfei still doesn't know how to strike while the iron is hot?" Hurriedly said, "With these materials from Xi'an University of Technology, the development of pulse detonation engines will inevitably be greatly accelerated...... Old Man Lu also said it. With this information, we will be able to come up with a pulse detonation engine that can be used for hypersonic surface-to-air missiles and anti-ship missiles in almost 5 years. Well. Maybe even the pulse detonation engine of an airborne air-to-air missile can be made. ”
Well? Sure enough, hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Director Ding was immediately moved.
He knows a little more than Lin Hongfei, for example, Lin Hongfei knows that there is such a thing as the "Goddess of Dawn" hypersonic strategic reconnaissance aircraft, but whether this thing really exists, Lin Hongfei is still uncertain. Dante Okawa's news about the "Goddess of Dawn" hypersonic strategic reconnaissance aircraft is certain: the damned Americans have indeed made such a "conscience" bastard thing...... A monster that can fly at more than 5 times the speed of sound, all fighters, high-altitude and high-speed interceptors, ground-to-air missiles and air-to-air missiles have no effect on this thing at all, this thing can't be promoted at all, not only can't be promoted. I have to cooperate with the Americans to help hide it, otherwise it is not an ordinary shame for this matter to come out: the flight speed of one's own missiles is not as fast as that of other people's aircraft, what is this not a shame?
Why is the "Goddess of Dawn" so awesome? Isn't it because the Americans spared no expense to equip this plane with a pulse detonation engine? But if we have a surface-to-air missile or air-to-air missile that is also suitable for pulse-detonation engines, maybe we can threaten the Americans?
To be honest, it really doesn't feel good to see an American plane flying around your head twice in three days.
"Are you sure?" Ding Dachuan hesitated for a moment and said to Lin Hongfei.
"I'm not sure, this is what Old Man Lu told me," Lin Hongfei smiled bitterly.
What is this called? Ding Dachuan was suddenly depressed.
But before Director Ding got angry, Lin Hongfei said, "However, since our country has established a project for pulse detonation engines, and we still use the National Natural Science Foundation of China, it shows that the country has a rigid demand for pulse detonation engines. ”
Ding Dachuan pondered for a while, and had to nod and admit Lin Hongfei's words, Lin Hongfei, this kid is right, the country does have a rigid demand for pulse detonation engines, in this case: "In this case, you call Comrade Lu Xiaopeng and ask him to take ...... Forget it, boy, you send a plane to send Comrade Lu Xiaopeng directly to the capital, and we will ask the comrades of the Western University of Technology to evaluate the actual value of this information, if it is really feasible, there is no reason for the state to stop such a project from starting. ”
"Great!" Lin Hongfei was overjoyed!
Boss Lin didn't think of the perverted thing "Goddess of Dawn", he just thought of one thing, if we can really come up with hypersonic air-to-air missiles and anti-ship missiles that use pulsed detonation engines, then wouldn't the TMD made by the Americans become a big joke? Just the damn cowardice of TMD, let them intercept a vehicle with a speed of less than Mach 2, and a hypersonic missile with a speed of more than Mach 5? Dream on!
Lin Hongfei is sure that as long as the warships of the Republic are really equipped with this kind of thing, the Americans' aircraft carrier formation will go around when they see our warships from now on: Nima, this thing is completely impossible to defend!
This is too demoralizing, a battle that cannot be prevented at all, and can only be passively beaten, how can this be fought?
……………………
Lin Hongfei, who was overjoyed in his heart, immediately called back to Mr. Lu, and said the meaning of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense...... Hongdu Airlines, which has always been treated as a child born to a maid, has it been so highly valued? For a while, the old man walked lightly, and when he walked, his armpits were windy, and the whole person looked more than ten times more energetic, which made the people in the whole project secretly surprised, strange What happy event did the old man encounter, and he was so excited that he became like this?
But Lin Hongfei didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and received a notice: negotiations began.
