Now, with this mature R&D mechanism in operation, the R&D personnel's minds are focused on technological breakthroughs, and the coordination work is much less.

Most of the technology is a little arrogant, especially in today's best era, not only provides you with a more advanced R&D environment and auxiliary tools than foreign counterparts, but also a more transparent progress monitoring mechanism, no one wants to be on the red list of the R&D management system, because the green in the list represents that everything is normal, the yellow represents that there is a problem but can keep up with the progress, and the red list is a project with serious delays.

This is more effective than fines or other punitive measures, because this list can not only be seen by AVIC's internal R&D personnel, but also by those military bigwigs in the four headquarters.

Therefore, a good mechanism always has a clear incentive effect of rewards and punishments.

What's more, there is a real expert with very powerful technology above, the first big bull in the domestic science and technology community to win the Nobel Prize in science, who produces results is regarded as himself, and absolutely no leader can avoid Dr. Duke's eyes to take the scientific research results as his own, because the chief scientist not only has a special anonymous mailbox to accept everyone's complaints, but also has a superhuman scientific and technological brain to distinguish the true from the false, and no one will be able to blind his eyes.

In this way, in the most glorious golden five years of the R&D institutions of AVIC, with the great creativity of the R&D personnel, the various project teams of the DPCA Project continued to make technological progress, and under the innovative spirit inspired by them, they developed many products that Duke applauded.

And in this process, the opportunity for Duke to intervene is becoming less and less, Duke has made its core technology in the computer SDK, which greatly reduces the difficulty of R&D personnel in artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, fuzzy operation and other high-end computer technologies, with the new generation of high-performance chips developed by Duke Electronics for various professional use occasions of the military, and the new general-purpose CPU that Williams began to continuously launch, it can be said that in the computer and communication sector, The domestic aviation industry has become a world-class standard.

In this process, the military's vigorous demand for high-performance chips and general-purpose CPUs made Cai Siqiang decisively let SAL buy a chip processing company, invested heavily in transformation, and now has the world's mainstream chip processing capacity, so that this country has made a great step forward in promoting the technical level of the core industry of independent computers, Williams's latest successful G2 chip, 4 times the performance of G1, has fully approached the performance of IBM's previous generation POWER7+, Succeeded in narrowing the CPU gap to less than a generation.

With the Nuwa 2.0 system, the new server based on the G2 high-performance CPU has completely ended the history of high-performance servers needing to import CPUs. In the civilian field, this new type of Nuwa system and G2 computer has also begun to win part of the market with increasingly rich applications and high cost performance.

However, in order to balance the various economic forces in China, SAL did not set foot in this market this time, but only provided CPUs and high-performance servers, and handed over ordinary G2 computers in the government and consumer markets to other domestic computer companies to promote.

The huge domestic demand market allows Williams to enter a virtuous circle of chip design companies, his R&D team is now larger, and can carry out the improved model design of G2 while also starting the design of G3, G3 will be a native 16 cores, integrated up to 64MB cache, if the research and development is successful, it will catch up with IBM's Power8 level, further shorten the gap with IBM, if the launch time is similar to Power8+, Williams is confident that the G3 will compete with Power8-based servers.

With such a good computer infrastructure, radar, aero engines and missile control and other aspects of the first breakthrough, a new generation of active electronic scanning array (AESA) radar came into being, nicknamed "Skyhawk" this new type of radar, a total of three models, a small Skyhawk-60, a medium-sized Skyhawk-80 and a large Skyhawk-120.

Among them, the level of Skyhawk-60 is close to the early APG-77V1 radar of the US F-22, the core processor uses the G2 core computer system, the maximum range of action is more than 180 kilometers, the number of targets that can be tracked at the same time is 30 air targets, 16 ground targets, because the weight of the whole system does not exceed 200 kg, obviously, this radar is a perfect match for our army Thunder Dragon and J-10 fighters.

In addition, taking into account the different air opponents faced by different countries, this new system will use the database of combat objects as a re-writeable module when exporting, rather than the universality of the Pakistani army, which limits the performance on the one hand, and increases the pertinence on the other hand, making it more suitable for export.

In this way, after the installation of a new type of active electronic scanning array radar Skyhawk-60, the individual combat capability of the new Thunder Dragon fighter has been greatly improved, although the installed AESA radar power is small, for the F-22 This fighter is still powerless, but it still greatly enhances the ability to search for air and ground targets, of course, in order to better modify this new radar, the front section of the fuselage of the Thunder Dragon has also been re-optimized design, with better aerodynamic characteristics.

In this way, even for the new F-16 / F-15 series fighters with AESA radar installed on the US military, the export version of the Thunder still has the ability to compete with it, and this improvement is also to adapt to the lack of airborne early warning aircraft in some countries, the Thunder Dragon fighter can rely on its own radar to compete with the new F-16 / F-15 series fighter formation under the large formation cluster.

Although the cost of the new Thunder will increase by almost $1 million for this, it will be worth it. The international price of a Thunder is about 30 million US dollars, and if the range factor is not considered, it is only half of the F-16C/D, which is close to its comprehensive performance, and less than one-third of the price compared with the Boeing F-15 fighter and the European Rafale fighter, which are basically similar in air combat performance.

This is a huge cost advantage, for a country with a small land area, Xiaolong has an incomparable advantage. Especially not long ago, the Thunder Dragon was also in the hands of the Pakistani Air Force to beat the SU-30MKI and Rafale fighters of the Asan Air Force to the teeth, so as soon as the new model of the Thunder Dragon was born, soon buyers from the Arab world booked 200 Thunder fighters and several supporting Air Police 200 or Air Police 2000 early warning aircraft, on the one hand, everyone has the same faith, buying this thing is tantamount to cheering for Pakistan, on the other hand, for poor Arab countries that can't buy or can't afford the U.S. Army's F-16C/D or F-15, This fighter is currently the only choice.

On the one hand, in order to support the Pakistani brothers, these planes will be manufactured by the Pakistani side and delivered to the Saudi side, and the Pakistani side will get a certain share of the revenue.

On the other hand, the Saudi military is also venting its dissatisfaction with the United States in the Indo-Pakistani war, which is too biased in favor of the three Arab governments. The Saudi Arabian side also purchased 1 Air Police 2000 for its support, and the Saudi military purchased this batch of Thunder Dragon fighters with a specially customized version of the tactical system, mainly for the Israelis and Persians fighters were specially customized, so when the Saudi military booked these fighters, when they organized a confrontation with the Pakistani Air Force joint military exercises, they knew that the Pakistani side's kindness was not at all inferior in the confrontation between a squadron sent by the Pakistani army, the Thunder Dragon, and the same number of Saudi F-15s!

You must know that the Saudi military's F-15 was the most advanced F-15 model of the US military at that time, which was purchased at a price more than ten times more expensive than the Thunder, and the Saudi military knew how unjust it was to be wronged.

After the results of the internal confrontation between the Saudi and Pakistani militaries were detected by Israeli military intelligence personnel, the Israeli military top brass was greatly shocked, and they approached the Chinese side and asked for the purchase of three squadrons of Thunder Dragons, one by one, They have always mainly used American-style equipment, and it is obvious that these Thunder fighters were not purchased for the purpose of equipment, but for research purposes. In the face of this situation, despite the fact that it has historically had close military relations with the Israeli army, the Chinese side still politely declined the Israeli army's request for procurement, because the Israeli army's purpose is too strong.

The Arab world's massive purchase of Thunder fighters has put tremendous pressure on the Israeli military, and they have begun to ask the US military to provide new military aid and equip F-35 or F-22 fighters to regain air superiority over the Arab world.

However, these causes and effects are the decisions of the military leadership, and they have little to do with Qin Tairan, let alone Duke, although Lao Qin is now the executive vice president of AVIC, that is, when the price is negotiated and the agreement is signed, it is a decision from above, not just for economic interests.
