Chapter 349: No. 17 Wutong Road

In so many scientific research fields, the people who engage in radar are definitely obscure but absolutely high-status military scientific researchers.

In another life, Li Lu probably dealt with the electronic troops the most. In a broad sense, the electronic army includes the radar force, and when it comes to radar, it must involve any field related to it, such as various factories and even parts suppliers.

Intelligence and communications are two areas of expertise that are absolutely inseparable from close stipends, both of which are inseparable from radar. When it comes to radar, many people think of radar stations, airborne radars, and shipborne radars, but in fact, after entering the 21st century, radars can be seen everywhere, and the communication base stations that are all over the mountains and fields are radars......

People engaged in radar research are usually all-rounders, and they must not only understand electronics, but also understand mechanics and communications, and they must not only be able to design, but also be able to maintain, and even be involved in systems engineering research. This field is absolutely high-tech, and the talents that come out are absolutely all-round.

Ma Jintao is engaged in basic research, mainly focusing on materials and processes, and the one who lives here at Wutong 17 is definitely a big bull in the field of applied research, oh no, to be precise, it is still a calf, mainly focusing on radar research, and mainly in the subdivision of early warning radar.

In the colleges and universities in China, when it comes to the University of Science and Technology, many people are familiar with the juvenile class, and few people know that this school is a "luxury configuration" university supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences that brings together more than half of the country's top scientific research talents. In the fifties and sixties, the list of people who served as heads of departments and taught in person was enough to blind everyone.

Qian Lao, Zhao Lao, Hua Lao, Guo Lao, and the other Zhao Lao, all of them are great scientists like the backbone of the nation, and they are all engaged in research work closely related to military applications.

Unlike Ma Jintao, who grew up in the period after joining the work, No. 17 Wutong Road has already shined during his studies at school. Later, after being shocked, he was delegated for a few years, returned to the school in 1976 as a teacher, and was transferred to the Y10 project team in 1978, where he has been until now.

Li Lu will not be mistaken, he will soon receive an order to go to work in an electronic equipment factory in the inland mountains, because of environmental reasons, in the next ten years, his talent can not be displayed, until the late nineties, the situation has changed, his talent in radar research, finally have the opportunity to make outstanding contributions to the national defense research industry.

But, a whole decade of time was lost.

At this moment, the master of No. 17 Wutong Road that Li Lu wants to meet is only a thirty-three or four-year-old person - Ye Bintong, the person in charge of the Y10 project communication group.

Li Lu is too familiar with Ye Bintong, and in another life, Li Lu has gone to the electronic equipment factory in the mountains many times, and they do intelligence work, and they have more frequent contacts with military factories than with troops. At that time, Li Lu met Ye Bintong, who was already the technical director of the factory, and formed a joint team on business trips twice.

Of course, at that time, the electronic equipment factory in the mountains also became a well-known supplier of high-tech equipment solutions in the world.

Ye Bintong became famous in the Kosovo War, which was the war in which an F-117 was defeated. He developed a technical solution to detect the F-117 stealth fighter using existing radar equipment, and conducted several successful tests. As we all know, when the F-117 opens the magazine and launches missiles, there is no stealth performance at all, and the technical method developed by Ye Bintong can accurately detect the F-117 when the magazine is closed. In other words, the myth that the F-117 stealth fighter is invisible in front of radar or that radar cross-section is equivalent to a bird has been shattered.

At that time, Li Lu asked Ye Bintong what happened to the F-117 that was beaten down, and Ye Bintong's answer was very clear - it was done under the guidance of Lao Maozi.

Ten years after the end of the Kosovo War, the U.S. Air Force retired all F-117 stealth fighters under the pretext of overmaintenance. Few people know that the cause and effect relationship in this is more exciting than spy warfare.

There is no doubt that it is very abnormal for a stealth fighter that has only been in service for more than 20 years to build a huge amount of money. You know, the F-16 was in service more than a decade earlier than the F-117, but it has been in improved service for half a century.

For a stealth fighter, if there is nothing to hide in front of the opponent, then its special significance no longer exists. And in order to achieve stealth, the aerodynamic shape maneuverability and bomb load were sacrificed, and these shortcomings were suddenly magnified - not even comparable to the combat effectiveness of the F-4E, so why keep it.

It can be said that if we only calculate the economic accounts, the technical methods for detecting stealth fighters that can be popularized by Ye Bintong and the technical personnel led by Ye Bintong have caused the Americans to directly lose $7 billion, and the indirect losses are even more incalculable.

That was another time and space at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, so when the F-22 was put into service, Huaxia calmly said that there was no pressure......

Back to the present, if there are no deviations, the first F-117 was only towed out of the Lockheed plant in the middle of this year, and it will take about two years of a series of test flights before it can be added to the service sequence of the US Air Force in 1983.

Ten years in advance, Ye Bintong, a calf under his command, there is hope to overtake in a corner, and what he gains is precious time.

When they arrived at the place, they parked the car on the side of the road, Li Lu and Zhang Weiwei got out of the car, stood on the side of the road and looked around, the street was very quiet.

Li Lu sighed, "I haven't walked this street for a long time......"

Sycamore Road, as the name suggests, is planted with many sycamore trees on both sides of the road, row by row, all of which are decades old. It is said that it was planted at the same time as the batch in Nanjing. Naturally, this neighborhood is a proper old Shanghai, with low-rise buildings and very few bungalows as far as the eye can see.

Seventeenth is not very special, it is just one of the guest houses of the Shanghai Flying Company, and not many people live here.

Zhang Weiwei had already come to investigate, and he was naturally familiar with it, asked the sleepy staff of the guest house, led the way, and walked inside along the usual corridor. Halfway through, there is an open patio on one side, a small garden, and even unknown birds chirping in the trees, not afraid of people at all.

It's winter.

Startled by three or two small birds through the small garden, Li Lu and Zhang Weiwei walked all the way to the end of the corridor, and in front of them was an open area, with pavilions and rockery cobblestone curved roads, flowers and plants, some proudly blooming, and some of the petals were bare.

Zhang Weiwei pointed to the row of low bungalows behind him and said, "The first room is on the left." ”

Li Lu nodded slightly, walked over, and walked along the cobblestone winding road to that side. When it was almost there, Zhang Weiwei stopped, looked around, found a place to walk over and sit down, lit a cigarette and smoked, and was on alert.

It was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the technicians who came to support the Y10 project from other places stationed here were withdrawn, and some were waiting for notice, and Ye Bintong, a person from a university, went back to school anyway and had a holiday, so he simply stayed and waited for the instructions of his superiors, or waited for the time to go home for the New Year.

It's more unwilling, unwilling to leave like this. After nearly ten years of hard work, some old people even worked for Y10 for 12 or 3 years, which experienced a big impact in the middle, and finally waited for a stable environment, but a slap in the face - only 30 million R & D funds were vetoed by the Ministry of Finance.

Even until now, the dissolution of the Y10 R&D team has not been officially announced, but it has existed in name only, and those who have a good way out have already applied to leave, and more have fallen into confusion and unwillingness.

On the side of the door, a simple triangular stove was built with bricks next to the wall, and an iron cylindrical pot was set up on it, surrounded by a layer of black things, Ye Bintong was sitting on a small bench in an army green sweater with white shampoo, and was lighting a fire.

More like a farmer returning from a crop field, he didn't have a radar expert at all who made a fire-control-radar that made stealth fighters have nowhere to escape.

"Master Ye, cooking."

Li Lu walked over with a smile.
