"Your thinking is not right, you are still young, you can't focus all your time and energy on work, family is very important. If you want to fight the front wholeheartedly, you must be stable in the rear, you know this truth better than I do. What else do I want to be dissatisfied with the old man, the family is happy and the children are filial, and the remaining time can do more for the country, as an old party member, so that he can be worthy of the party's cultivation. ”

After Academician Liu Yi said these words to Li Zhan, he sent him out of the car and was there at the door of the hotel. Li Zhan's idea of following Academician Liu Yi to the army was in vain.

Of course, Li Zhan didn't understand the truth, but how could he settle down to travel?

After Academician Liu Yi's words, the guilt in his heart was a little less. Isn't it precisely because of so many unknown people like Academician Liu Yi that our country will become stronger and more prosperous?

Seeing the convoy go away, Li Zhan and Ying Wanjun were full of emotion.

Ying Wanjun whispered, "We don't know that Mr. Liu is terminally ill, why didn't he be hospitalized, why did he fight!" ”

"Because he's a warrior." Li Zhan said that he led Ying Wanjun to the hotel, and a staff member led the way in front.

Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "Academician Liu Yi is actually a very old-fashioned person, he thinks that he will not be hospitalized as a last resort, and he will be scared out of illness if he is not sick. I understand what he means, emotions have a big impact on the condition. He does what he likes to do every day, maybe it would be better. ”

"Well, there's a scientific basis for that." Ying Wanjun said in agreement.

Li Zhan sorted out his mood and said, "Don't talk about this, since you come out to play, you can have fun." Let my son see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland in advance. ”

"Good!" Ying Wanjun smiled shyly.

Wuya is really beautiful, so beautiful, a model of tropical island marine scenery. Li Zhan has a soft spot for the scenery of Yalong Bay, to be precise, he was attracted by the warships stationed in the military port. As a double super ace pilot who has worked on aircraft carriers, he is still excited to see destroyers and other service ships with much smaller tonnage.

If the country's influence is to go out, the navy can play a huge role, and it must also play a huge role. As the country's overseas interests grow, the Navy shoulders more and more heavy tasks. One of the most typical manifestations of this is the threat of pirates in the Gulf of Aden. To this end, the navy formed an escort group in accordance with the orders of the upper echelons and began to carry out long-term escort operations in the Gulf of Aden on a half-year rotation.

In December, the first batch of escort formations of the Navy set sail from Yalong Bay, and the two most elite destroyers of the Third Fleet, the 171 ship and the 169 ship, were dispatched, the former was the 052C, which represented the highest level of active destroyers in the Chinese Navy at that time, and the latter was the slightly inferior 052B.

The more advanced 052D was launched in 2012, that is, last year. Li Zhan knows some information, the first 052D will be incorporated into the Third Fleet, the port number is 172, named Kunming, is expected to be commissioned in 2014.

It can be seen that the speed of the Navy's dumplings has accelerated, and it is very obvious that the focus is on the side of the Third Fleet. Since the beginning of the 21 st century, the status of the Third Fleet, which was originally the weakest, has been raised all of a sudden, and the vast majority of the newly built warships have been placed in the Third Fleet. The Second Fleet, having acquired four modern-class ships, almost stopped replenishing new ships.

It shows that the above strategy has been significantly adjusted.

Mobilizing the Third Fleet first means that the upper authorities are attaching more and more importance to maritime rights and interests, and have raised it to the level of national interests.

After playing in Wuya for three days, Li Zhan and his party started to travel around the island along the Huandao Expressway by car. The scenery of Qiong Island is quite good, and some small places that have not been opened have a lot of natural beauty. So much so that after the game rose, Ying Wanjun and Li Ling simply extended the travel time.

Li Zhan was not at ease, so he called Jinhua ruthlessly to ask if he could postpone the matter at Shuilingchang Station for a few days, Jinhua said that based on Li Zhan's time, the matter of Shuilingchang Station was not in a hurry, and it was okay to pass it at any time.

In this way, Li Zhan continued to accompany his family to continue to travel around the island without any worries.

It has been half a month since he returned to Wuya in a circle, and after sending his family on the flight home, Li Zhan was relieved. Jinhua took a Land Cruiser and waited at the airport, picked up Li Zhan and ran all the way to Shuilingchang Station.

The ship division is obviously not in a hurry, but hopes to let Li Zhan reunite with his family for as much time as possible. Anyone who knows Li Zhan knows that he has very little time to reunite with his family, and normally cadres get one month of family leave every year, but Li Zhan has not spent more than two months at home in the five years combined.

The most important thing is that Li Zhan has just experienced a serious plane crash and escaped death, how can he rush Li Zhan back to work in this case.

When he was on the way, Jinhua did not mention what new model a certain unit stationed at the Shuilingchang Station had been replaced, nor did he talk about things with the troops, but just gossip with his parents. Li Zhan naturally understood it. Do not talk about secrets in non-confidential places, and the car is a non-confidential place.

Reconnaissance satellites that were able to eavesdrop on conversations in ground vehicles have existed decades ago, and if they happen to be scanned for targeted eavesdropping, it will be a leak.

Wuya is an hour's drive from Shuilingchang Station, and the place is just a blink of an eye. Although Xixian Station is also a coastal station, it is forty or fifty kilometers away from the coastline. The Shuilingchang station is different, this sea navigation station is just by the sea, only a few kilometers from the coastline, and it is a place where the sea breeze can directly reach.

The most significant difference is that there are many coconut trees, and most of the coconut trees planted in the coconut palm farm station on both sides of the road are also coconut trees, which are lush and weeping all year round. There is only one season of the year in this place – summer. This is the reason why the officers and men of China Southern Airlines are generally darker.

Before lunch, Li Zhan asked to start work directly, and then he learned that Academician Liu Yi had just left here in the morning and went to another unit to do experiments.

Jinhua took Li Zhan around first, and after figuring out the basic layout of the Shuilingchang Station, he went to the memorial hall to pay homage to the sea and air guards, and then went to the hangar to see the plane.

After seeing the plane, Li Zhan didn't need Jinhua to introduce it, he could say that he was very familiar with this plane.

J-8FR.

A J-8FR tactical reconnaissance aircraft with a black radome painted in white.

Li Zhan was a little crying and laughing, "Chief of Staff Jinhua, this is not a new model, right?" ”

"Strictly speaking, yes." Jinhua said with a smile, walked into the hangar, the mechanic of the maintenance there ran over and handed over a booklet, Jinhua took it and handed it to Li Zhan, and said, "You have flown the front model of this model, and it is the most experienced pilot." It is for this reason that you are invited to come. ”

Li Zhan browsed the booklet, which was the technical manual of the J-8FR, yes, even the model name was the same as before, and it was difficult to tell that it was a new model. However, after browsing the main technical indicators, Li Zhan believed that this was really a new type of tactical reconnaissance aircraft.

It should be called a high-altitude and high-speed tactical reconnaissance aircraft, and the biggest highlight is that its electronic reconnaissance capability has been greatly enhanced. In the past, the main reconnaissance means of the J-8FR were camera, and target guidance, and the electronic reconnaissance capability was quite limited.

Li Zhan found that the manufacturer had replaced almost the original avionics system, and all the weapons system space was vacated for the deployment of electronic reconnaissance systems. To Li Zhan's surprise, the new J-8FR retains its target guidance capability, but it has also been strengthened.

It is obvious that according to the direction of use of the troops, the manufacturer has made drastic improvements to the J-8FR on the basis of the original. New engines, new flight control systems, new radars, optimized aerodynamic layout, elimination of all weapon systems.

The new J-8FR is not to mention air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground missiles, and even aviation guns are gone, and even aviation fire cannot be fired.

It has become a pure reconnaissance plane, and there is no other way to run away when it is blocked by enemy planes.

Li Zhan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Isn't it too thorough without any means of self-defense?" ”

"There are no active means of defense, but there are passive means of defense, such as electronic jamming systems, which can still deal with missiles." "But it's still unknown how effective it will actually be, so we need the guidance of you, an expert." ”

Every gram of weight of the new J-8FR is used for reconnaissance and high-altitude and high-speed performance, which can be seen from the technical data. With a maximum airspeed of Mach 2.5 and a maximum ceiling of 25,000 kilometers, it can be said that with the advantage of high altitude and high speed, the J-8FR's escape ability is first-class.

At present, the maximum ceiling of the third-generation aircraft is generally 18,000 kilometers, and only the fourth-generation aircraft can do it if it can exceed 20,000 meters, and the high-speed of Mach 2.5 cannot even catch up with the fourth-generation aircraft. The maximum Mach number of the F-22A is only 2.25.

To put it simply, the new J-8FR is a frenzied high-altitude and high-speed tactical reconnaissance aircraft.

Many believe that the era of high altitude and high speed has passed, and this class of fighters can no longer meet the requirements of modern air combat. As everyone knows, it is another method used by imperialism to destroy your R&D projects, and to guide public opinion to deliberately create a false environment for you to cut yourself off. Many of the lessons of the past are fresh and purposeful.

When the enemy is strong, it is the only superpower, and it is also the only supermilitary power, and his direction is naturally the most correct direction that everyone thinks, and if he blindly follows, he may be taken to the ditch, and the Soviet Union is a bloody example. Now we are beginning to learn to think for ourselves, what is appropriate and what is not necessary or in a hurry, and we have our own set of judgment criteria.

You obviously can't help my high-altitude and high-speed tactical reconnaissance plane, so why don't I insist on doing it?

The new J-8FR was probably born under such a tactical idea, and after the use of several models, finally all the requirements were clear. For example, the elimination of all weapon systems, or do not do it or do it thoroughly, so there is such excellent high-altitude and high-speed performance.

On the other hand, there is the issue of range, the range of J-8 series fighters is generally shorter, which has a lot to do with the use of turbojet engines. The new J-8FR also uses a turbojet engine, but it is already a very advanced model, the fuel economy has been greatly improved, and the fuel load has been increased after the weapon system has been removed, and the ability to mount auxiliary fuel tanks has also been retained.

In the absence of external auxiliary fuel tanks, the new J-8FR has a maximum range of 2,500 kilometers, and three external auxiliary fuel tanks can reach a maximum range of 4,000 kilometers. This data even intrigued the Air Force, which intends to abandon the J-8FR to continue the improvement project and focus on the J-16.

No way, the Air Force just likes long legs.

Jinhua asked Li Zhan, "How do you think this plane should be used?" What kind of adjustments need to be made compared to before? ”

"Hainan Airlines shouldn't be equipped with such aircraft." Li Zhan's words were astonishing.

Jinhua frowned, "Why?" ”

Li Zhan spread his hands and said, "If you don't have a fighter with attack capability, what is HNA going to do?" ”

It took a while for Jinhua to come to his senses, and he said, "Not necessarily, many tactical aviation units of the US military are equipped with professional reconnaissance planes. ”

"Very little, and our situation is different." Li Zhan pointed to the J-8FR like a white whale and said, "This plane should be rationed to three, and they need such an aircraft even more." ”

Jin Hua nodded slightly, understanding what Li Zhan meant. The three units are equipped with a large number of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and they are engaged in technical intelligence.

"But it's already in my department." Jinhua said.

Li Zhan said, "The key to this aircraft is not the use of technology, any pilot can complete the task well." What should be considered is how to use it. In the past, the J-8FR and J-8 were used as a node in the tactical campaign reconnaissance network, so they both have attack capabilities. The J-8FR I was flying was one such aircraft. ”

"Now this J-8FR has lost the ability to be used as a tactical campaign reconnaissance node, and it cannot fully exert its combat capability if it is used according to the original idea. As a reconnaissance node for tactical campaigns, fighters must have attack capabilities, and air combat capabilities do not need to be very strong, and it is sufficient to be able to defend themselves. But the ability to strike on the ground is a must-have. Judging from the actual situation of our military at present and for a period of time to come, this type of reconnaissance plane is to simultaneously undertake the task of striking at the nodes of the enemy's air defense network. ”

As soon as he explained this, Jinhua basically agreed. Whether or not a fighter can bring into play the full combat capability of a fighter depends first of all on how to use it; if used correctly, it is a sharp weapon, and if it is used poorly, it may lead to weak points in the combat system.

From top to bottom, as long as you are a military cadre, and if you do not understand the concept of systematic combat, then it means that you are not qualified.

"An expert is an expert, I was stunned after what you said, I have to invite you over, otherwise we will take a detour." Jinhua said with a smile.

Li Zhan smiled and shook his head, "Chief of Staff, you are falsely praised, even if I don't come, you will find out that something is wrong after using it for a while." As for the specific use, I will write a material for the pilot to refer to when training. ”

"That's not good, you have to fly, you can't fly if you don't fly, the planes are ready." Jinhua said.

Li Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "I've not had good luck lately, I'm afraid I'll fly apart again." ”
