Chapter 8 The Decisive Battle Section 141 Ultra-high-speed sixth-generation aircraft
Three years later, the Dragon Kingdom began to fight Uncle Sam for the ultimate financial showdown to end the global dominance of the American sword.
Zhaohui must make good use of the precious time of these three years to build a military force in the 5G mode to escort the economic strategy of the Dragon Kingdom. This is about the national fortune and rise of the Dragon Kingdom!
As Zhaohui grew older, he found that his meditation learning mode became more and more powerful, and he seemed to have entered a realm of "remote vision".
The so-called remote vision means that he can slowly direct his thinking to a point in space or time. This point in space and time can be either the future or the past.
It's just that in the process of remote vision, his ability has not yet reached the level he wants, and some things can't be seen very clearly, but some can. He couldn't explain it all either.
He even sometimes wondered if he was from a civilization on another plane. But why does he love this blue planet so much? It seems that this is his roots, his hometown.
But he couldn't understand why he had some supernatural abilities. These questions have always bothered him. Maybe at some point, everything will have an answer.
On this night, he turned on the remote vision mode in a meditative state. He wanted to find the direction and way to achieve the upgrade of the Dragon Kingdom's military strength.
He tried his best to push time forward, and although he couldn't see the time scale clearly, he found that the future space battle was the world of unmanned fighters. Future attacks will be carried out by ultra-high-velocity weapons flying through the atmosphere. The new kinetic energy will gradually replace the thrust generated by the traditional ** explosion. Laser weapons became the main means of interception. Frame by frame, the frame by frame shuttles as quickly as a movie, and the stay time is very short.
After Zhaohui woke up, he decided to visit Chief Yang again to discuss the upgrade plan of the Dragon Kingdom fighter.
Chief Yang Chengfei in Rongcheng is still diligently optimizing the super Jj CJ20 fighter. His desperate Saburo's character is really something that ordinary people can't do.
"Zhaohui, you finally have time to come and see me." As soon as Chief Yang saw Zhaohui, he greeted him warmly, held Zhaohui's hand and said.
"I miss the Sichuan food you cooked." Zhaohui said jokingly.
"You guy, give me eye medicine, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, tell me quickly, do you have any good ideas again?" Chief Teacher Yang said.
"Some time ago, I attended a meeting in Xishan. The state sets the tone. Three years later, he will completely show his sword with Sam's Country in the financial field. I judge that by that time, in addition to the confrontation between the two countries in the financial field, it is estimated that there will be some collisions in the military field. I want to make good use of these three years to try to make us as big a generational advantage as possible with Sam's Country. So, I want to try the sixth-generation aircraft with you this time. ”
Zhaohui still frankly told Chief Master Yang that although the Xishan Conference required secrecy, Zhaohui felt that people like Chief Yang who had so many core secrets were trustworthy. Besides, what you have to do is inseparable from Master Yang.
"Let's go, let's go to the laboratory, I'm also thinking about what is the direction of the sixth-generation aircraft? The question of how standards are developed. Once again, we coincided. ”
Chief Yang took Zhaohui to his core laboratory, which was built by Chief Yang for the research and development of the next generation of fighters.
"The sixth generation aircraft first determined a base point, that is, unmanned." Zhaohui said.
"I agree with that, and it's something I've thought about for a long time to come to a conclusion." Chief Teacher Yang said.
"Manual driving can be completely remotely driven through 5G, or replaced by unmanned driving. Without the constraints of human physiological limits, the range of things we can consider opens up. Zhaohui said.
"Go on."
"I want to increase the speed, the world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable! If we increase the speed to Mach 10, what else can catch up with us? And what air defense network can stop us? ”
"Mach 10? Unthinkable speed. Chief Master Yang's eyes were full of light.
"Scramjet!" Zhaohui said.
Zhaohui didn't wait for Chief Master Yang to ask, and then continued:
"In order to obtain sufficient kinetic energy, a traditional turbofan vector engine needs to have a compressor to compress the air in the intake tract, and then supply air to the second-stage turbine, mix it with fuel and burn it to obtain the kinetic energy injected backwards."
"If you think about it, when the plane is fast enough, the relative speed is equal to the speed of the air entering it is also fast enough. The pressure of the incoming air will be high enough so that there is no need for this part of the compressor. The compressor was dispensed with, so that a ramjet engine was formed instead of the previous compressor engine. Naturally, the weight of the aircraft is much lighter. It is equivalent to an increase in speed in disguise. ”
"And that's not all, we use part of the principle of rocket engines, and we play scramble. Rocket engines require oxidizers to support combustion to achieve sufficient oxygen and fuel mixed combustion. If we don't use oxidizers, but ramjet engines can produce high-density oxygen on their own, then they can be mixed with fuel to produce a more efficient combustion reaction thrust than rocket engines. ”
"Before I came, I used our country's supercomputing equipment to simulate my scramble engine, which has a combustion thrust efficiency four times higher than that of a rocket, and the theoretical flight speed can reach Mach 10."
"If we design the fuel bunkers of the fighter aircraft into two, one is now in the form of conventional aviation fuel, and the other is designed as liquid hydrogen. When afterburner is turned on, using liquid hydrogen as fuel, the vehicle can reach speeds of Mach 25, which is 8,500 meters per second. ”
"I propose to build a hypersonic wind tunnel in the wind tunnel complex in Mianyang, supporting a test range of Mach 10 to Mach 30. Using 3D printing technology, we quickly designed a scramjet engine for validation testing. Zhaohui said his thoughts about increasing speed in one breath.
"If this hypersonic aircraft can be made, our ** can also start a revolution again! Our ** does not need engines and fuel at all, just use the aircraft as a launch platform and a speed platform. Relying on the inertia of the launch platform, ** can obtain enough kinetic energy, and this speed of more than Mach 10 does not need to consider any evasive action, because there is no defensive weapon to react. **As long as it detects that it is close to the target, it will explode directly. Chief Master Yang said after being inspired.
"I think this inference is valid." Zhaohui said.
"Let's do it!" Chief Master Yang said with confidence.
The next day, the two of them went to the Mianyang Wind Cave Group first. They found Gu Yongfen, the first person in the Dragon Country Wind Tunnel. The requirements for the development of a transonic wind tunnel for the development of a sixth-generation fighter were named. When Chief Gu heard that the test speed said that it was from Mach 10, he was really taken aback.
"Aren't you flying faster than a rocket?" Chief Gu said.
"Yes, Master Gu. The next generation of fighters, hypersonic, must be the basis. Fifth-generation aircraft stealth is the foundation. The sixth generation aircraft is hypersonic, and unmanned is the entry barrier. Please help us to build a hypersonic test wind tunnel in any way. We immediately started the prototype of the scramjet engine. Zhaohui explained.
"Don't worry, give me six months. I'm not going to let you down, old man. Chief Gu said.
"Then we'll see you in half a year, and we'll hurry up the development of a scramjet engine." Chief Teacher Yang said.
Back in Chengdu, Chief Engineer Yang and Zhaohui led a group of engine experts and a group of aerodynamic shape experts to hide in the laboratory and began to design scramjet engines and aerodynamic shapes. Mr. Yang's laboratory has access to the national supercomputer. This helped them a lot. This is because a large amount of simulation data is required before such a new engine can be developed. The coupling relationship between the strength, pressure resistance, high temperature resistance, fuel combustion rate, fuel capacity and combat radius of the material. Without the computing support of supercomputing, it would be impossible to develop a scramjet engine.
Engine experts from all over the country, including experts from Ukelan Marco, have gathered in Chengfei one after another. Originally, Chengfei did not produce engines, but with 3D printing equipment and five-axis machining centers, as well as graphene coating technology, Chengfei has already embarked on a set of small-scale engine production lines.
The shape of the sixth-generation aircraft has changed greatly compared to the fifth-generation aircraft this time. Removed canard wings and twin tail wings. Directly changed to a triangle-like body. The tail has been treated with some jagged depressions in consideration of the turbulence problem. The air intake was also changed to the top of the aircraft, and the stealth performance was once again strengthened.
It took more than a month for the design demonstration and another month for the process flow and material preparation.
The production trial production took the most time, more than three months. Three sets of high-combustion ramjet engines have been produced, and one of the designs did not meet the standards and was directly scrapped. In the end, two prototypes were left for wind tunnel testing.
The prototype of the aircraft also made two aerodynamic shapes, which are generally similar, but there are some local differences.
The wind tunnel renovation at Mr. Gu's site took 175 days, which was completed a week earlier than six months. When Chief Master Gu called in person.
Zhaohui and Chief Master Yang escorted two engine test prototypes directly to the Mianyang Wind Tunnel Base.
The two engines, numbered A and B, were mounted on two prototypes, A and B, respectively. The two prototypes will be tested separately, one for conventional aviation fuel and the other for liquid hydrogen as fuel.
First, the A prototype was tested under conventional aviation fuel. After multiple sets of test data, the kinetic energy velocity of the A prototype reached Mach 10. But it also reached an astonishing speed of Mach 9.22.
After the weighted average of multiple sets of test data, the speed of the B prototype reached the measured speed of Mach 24.15.
Both A and B prototypes have met the design requirements. The previous Mach 10 velocity of Mach 25 is only the velocity under theoretical derivation. Due to the deviation of materials and processes, it is rare to reach Mach 9.22 and Mach 24.15 respectively.
After solving the core scramjet engine and aerodynamic shape of the sixth-generation aircraft. Began to upgrade the flight control and fire control parts of the aircraft. This time, all avionics use 5G high-transmission and low-latency communication modules.
The sixth-generation aircraft also has a separate laser interception and laser blinding system. Adopt a one-time power supply method. The defect is that it cannot be used repeatedly and can only be used once at critical moments. After use, you need to quickly replace the battery again or recharge it for use.
There is also a significant change in the sixth-generation aircraft this time, that is, the first-class method, all of which adopt a new type of non-kinetic sub-bomb method. In other words, when it flies to the target area, it will drop a large area of clusters** or solid shells.
