0885 Too Radical
Michelle opened a luxury store, chose the best store, did the best decoration, and waited for the opening to be at least three months later. Zhou Qingfeng kept in touch with her on the phone and sent her a batch of goods every week for trial marketing and promotion.
The latter stayed in Shenzhen until early July, busy building a textile-based light industry chain, but a phone call pulled him to the Hongdu plant, which was engaged in heavy carrier-based aircraft.
After two years of surveying, mapping and approval of the F-14A, several design teams supported by 'Shengguang' competed with each other and completed more than 10 configuration wind tunnel experiments of the carrier-based aircraft project, and selected one of them to officially start engineering research and development.
Zhou Qingfeng arrived at the Hongdu factory to see the one-to-one wooden fighter model being built. Due to the limited space for aviation operations of carrier-based aircraft, there is no experience in China at all, so such a model is needed for personnel training in advance.
Modern aircraft design and build are too complex. The domestic ones used to play imitation light machines. At present, the J-10 has just made its first flight, and the heavy carrier-based aircraft is completely blank. Everyone is a newbie and has little confidence.
In order to make the project go smoothly, Zhou Qingfeng used Red Dragon Pharmaceuticals to get a group of 'retired experts' in the aviation industry from the United States. Including design, manufacturing, operation and maintenance, involving all aspects, there are currently more than 200 people.
Most of them are engineers from top aerospace manufacturing companies such as Boeing, Northrop, and Grumman. There are also retired U.S. military 'old fur seals' who specialize in pilots and ground crews of the F-14A on aircraft carriers.
In the past two years, the 'Blue Army' has relied on Alsie to lead the team, and has already abused the domestic sea and air pilots physically and mentally. The Air Force no longer mentioned the introduction of the Su-27, but instead paid for the introduction of the AL-31F aviation engine production line.
With the assistance of Madasic and Western technology, the 'Holy Light' is preparing to localize this Russian engine.
As for the Air Force's previous introduction of 24 Su-27SKs, it was proved that they could indeed defeat the 'Tomcat' and 'Fighting Falcon' after repeated combat training.
Maozi's radar is really bad, the power is too high, but it can't be used, it's a waste of electricity. The performance of the air-to-air missile is also false, not to mention that the goods are not right, and it is not an opponent of the AIM-120A at all.
At present, the rebels on the southeast island are or will soon be refitted with F-16A/B and Mirage-2000, and the navy and air force, which have tasted the hardships, are feeling great pressure.
Now the domestic bet is on the Hongdu factory, waiting for its own heavy fighters based on the F-14A and F-16C to come out of nowhere.
"Thanks to Mr. Zhou's support, otherwise this project would be really difficult." The head of the Hongdu factory personally went to the airport to pick up the plane and led Zhou Qingfeng to visit the factory.
The reason why this master who does not understand aircraft design at all was invited to listen to the report is that the current design and manufacturing require the strong support of the 'Holy Light'. Both money and technology are indispensable.
"The No. 10 project in Chengdu has fully implemented computer-aided design, which greatly saves research and development time, and started manufacturing prototypes a year ahead of schedule. We are also vigorously introducing it, and we feel the benefits of computers. ”
Heads and brains are all feelings.
For later generations, life and work have been inseparable from the computer, and it is needed for eating, drinking, and sleeping. But at present, there are still many old researchers who are not accustomed to or even resist using new things.
Because of the emergence of new things, some old antiques spend a lifetime studying and mastering skills instantly become obsolete. These old antiques are often still in high power, and it is difficult for them to re-learn if their thinking is solidified.
The 'Red Tomcat' is a project launched by the 'Holy Light', and now the Navy and Air Force are strongly supporting. From the pre-research stage of the project, new people were vigorously employed, and the average age of the R&D team of thousands of people was only 30 years old, which was a very risky move.
"The computer is really good, especially the computer provided by Mr. Zhou." The R&D personnel of Hongdu plant are full of praise for this.
Can it be bad? PS3 is specially used to play games, and they are all bug-level existences with more than 200 billion floating point computing power per second. Graphical simulations for running large quantities of data are fast and good.
The PS3 that Zhou Qingfeng took out frightened the whole country, exclaiming, 'The US imperialist is invincible, how can you make such a strong thing', this is really forced to invest in semiconductors.
If the people in the ministry knew that there was still a 9 trillion times per second 'ruthless goods' in the office of the president of the 'Holy Light', they would be even more dizzy and would vomit blood.
With the unique architecture of the PS3 processor cell, the 'matrix' team of 'Holy Light' worked together a parallel supercomputing machine with 200 cores, with a peak computing speed of an 'astonishing' 36 trillion times per second.
In the past, it took a month to calculate the problem abroad, and a year in China. Since it was too long, I simply didn't do it. Now, it is also a problem to calculate a month abroad, and it only takes a few minutes at home.
So a bunch of questions came up.
The time lost by domestic researchers in the past because 'equipment is inferior to people' has been quickly equaled or even surpassed, and computing resources appear to be unprecedentedly rich. A lot of research that couldn't be done in the past can now be done easily.
This condition is really unnatural.
"Because of the improvement of scientific research conditions, the chief engineer of Project No. 10 simply recalculated the original plan. Including the air intake, wing, and fuselage structure have been fine-tuned, and the weight has been successfully reduced by several hundred kilograms. ”
Zhou Qingfeng was at a high level in the ministry, and Hongdu Factory showed him a small model of the No. 10 project made in Chengdu without any surprise. When he saw it, he was surprised and said, "You guys got the DSI intake out so quickly?" ”
The early model of Project 10 used a binary adjustable air intake, and the improved version used DSI technology. The latter is simple and lightweight, and has many advantages, but the difficulty is to use supercomputing to complete heavy fluid dynamics calculations.
If the computing power is insufficient, fluid mechanics is a research topic that cannot be carried out at all. But if you have enough computing power, it's a lot easier.
DSI technology was once known to be blown into the sky. But when there is a breakthrough in China, even the second-generation modification used for miscellaneous work uses the DSI inlet duct.
The researcher in charge of the introduction was very happy, "Mr. Zhou, you are very knowledgeable." This is exactly the DSI intake that the Yankees are currently working on. We did a follow-up study on this and found it to be really good.
Chengdu had no intention of using such radical technology. But the computing power is so sufficient, it's really sad not to give it a try. After trying it, I felt that it worked so well that no one wanted to go back to using the old technology.
Thanks to the computers and a large amount of simulation software that Mr. Zhou obtained, we also plan to be radical, abandon conservative ideas, and use some advanced technology in the carrier-based aircraft project.
This is mainly because Mr. Zhou has helped us too much. In addition to the wide application of computers, the experts brought in from the United States not long ago really gave us a reassurance. ”
When the heads and brains talked about this, they laughed very happily like foxes stealing chickens.
The people who were 'brought in' were American experts with decades of experience. The small team of more than a dozen people per person greatly promoted the progress of the project and corrected the mistakes of young people at a low cost.
Now the American experts are still very popular, they recognize the recommended plan, and the Hongdu plant will definitely consider it seriously. In addition, now the domestic navy and air force have been abused by the 'Tomcat' and 'Fighting Falcon', and they are facing heavy pressure across the strait......
It's certainly going down a radical path.
Zhou Qingfeng thought to himself, "Radical is radical, it's a big deal, I'll let Arcie and Sophia work together to help fix bugs and the like." In fact, it is nothing more than spending money, and what is lacking now is not money, but courage and self-confidence. ”
The researchers in the factory led the way, and the group went to the manufacturing workshop of the carrier-based aircraft model. But after just one glance when he went in, Zhou Qingfeng was shocked: "Wait...... What is this? ”
"Red tomcat." The researcher who explained was smiling, feeling that after many rounds of argumentation and elimination, the plan that was approved by American experts must have surprised Mr. Zhou.
Fool, are you blind to me?!
Where is this red tomcat? It's clearly a red bird of prey. Or a stealth carrier-based red Raptor with canard wings!
That's too radical, isn't it?
