Unbeknownst to Duke, an unprecedented crisis had begun to strike him.

The Indo-Pakistani war vividly brought into play the advantages of the weapons system developed by him under his auspices, and raised the military's understanding of the importance of Duke to a new height, and before the war was over, Duke was invited to attend a military meeting at the highest level, which was mainly attended by members of the Military Commission, and now the military is going to start making a five-year equipment development plan.

Duke and Qin Tairan attended the meeting as specially invited personnel of the military industrial system, and the two of them will work together to make a theme planning report for the development plan of the five major aviation equipment in the future.

Although Duke has gone deeper and deeper in the research of military equipment, and has deviated from his original intention, he still has a great sense of accomplishment in his heart when he thinks that the weapon system he developed has made a great deal of power in the South Asian subcontinent and defeated the somewhat unknown A-3 army in recent years.

From another point of view, in today's world, the advancement of product technology is not necessarily able to occupy the world market, and the huge setback suffered by the promotion of Lotus Dui made Duke understand that the next development of SAL company needs to rely more and more on the support of the strong strength of the country in order to continue to develop smoothly.

To grow into a behemoth-like world-class super enterprise, if it does not have a strong national power behind it, it is destined to be difficult to move an inch, especially in the early stage of its rise, it will suffer from many unimaginable political obstacles launched by competitors.

If Duke wants to use advanced communication system products to open the market at the beginning, even if Duke comes up with the latest research of new technologies, I am afraid that it will be treated the same as its domestic counterparts in the past few years, and will not be able to open these developed markets in Europe and the United States, because the communication network has a greater impact on a country than the terminal.

This is not only for economic reasons, but also for political and security reasons.

Just like the promotion of the Lotus reactor nuclear power plant, the Americans will not be able to give up this market for technical and economic reasons, and let their nuclear reaction research enterprises go bankrupt.

Therefore, Duke, who has yellow skin, has to temporarily shift the focus of his research to enhancing national defense strength without considering immigration, and the country must be able to stand up and speak for the enterprise, and the military strength is not strong and obviously has no confidence.

After the early efforts, Duke's sweat in the research of military equipment has finally come to fruition, and after the actual combat test of the fourth Indo-Pakistani war, although it is only a part of the phased achievements such as drones and new combat systems, but all things are amazing.

Although due to time reasons, China still does not have the ability to confront the United States in an all-round way by relying on these things, and even if China does not have the ability to compete with the Americans in the world for a long time to come, it has made great progress in basing itself on the domestic self-protection, and both conventional and strategic forces have begun to have a trend of being reborn and about to become a phoenix.

At this critical juncture of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the military bigwigs who have verified Duke's achievements through actual combat have higher expectations for Duke, and they urgently need to be able to use this demonic leader in science and technology to shorten the gap with the US military in cutting-edge science and technology as soon as possible.

At this stage, with our current national strength, we certainly cannot support a global confrontation with the US military. However, in the research and development of top-level weapons, the military sees the hope of being on an equal footing with the US military on the Asian battlefield in the short term.

Therefore, the task given to Duke and Qin Tairan by the military is to see which areas can be selected to make breakthroughs in terms of the scale of the current limited military budget and technical capabilities, and to develop the most practical new national defense weapon system under the limited expenditure. In fact, what the military bigwigs need to know is where Duke can still play a role, in recent years, Duke has participated in projects far beyond one field, and the military bigwigs have completely immeasurable potential for Duke's unfathomable potential, so simply let Duke choose by himself.

It's just that this topic is a bit too big, far from what Duke and Qin Tairan can do, but fortunately, the General Staff and the General Armament, as staff officers in both strategy and equipment, sent a strong team to assist Duke and Qin Tairan, and after repeated discussions, the general direction was finally set.

Now, Qin Tairan, who is standing on the stage and talking eloquently, reports to the military bigwigs on this new planning achievement.

According to this new plan, which Duke feels confident to realize, the core part is to build a new core and main equipment of the Navy and Air Force, and the core part is to use Duke's technical foundation in computers, new materials, large-scale high-precision CNC machine tools, and communications to develop and improve new fighters and air defense systems, as well as to build new nuclear submarines.

In particular, the use of intelligent technology is particularly concentrated in avionics, aero engines, radars, and missiles, and Duke believes that great breakthroughs can be made in the future, because the basic technology and development environment in these aspects are already very perfect.

The first WS-13 in the low-end of the aero engine, you can learn from the old Maozi RD series and the new engine of the Yankee F-100 series obtained now, and improve it into the WS-13D with a maximum thrust of 100-120 kN, adding more powerful maneuverability and bomb load for the Thunder and Flying Leopard, so that the future Thunder Dragon fighter can become the main export model, with the help of a simplified version of the cluster combat electronic system, With the assistance of small and medium-sized early warning aircraft such as the Air Police 200, it can compete with the F16-C/D fighters and SU-27/30 fighters, which are still relatively advanced in the world.

After all, the vast majority of countries in the world do not even have a better model than the F-16, especially in the third world, and fighters with this performance are enough to support the needs of air combat for more than ten years. Even if the real fourth-generation fighters are willing to sell them, they can't afford to buy them and use them.

Due to the low manufacturing price of the Thunder, it is completely capable of selling at half the price of the opponent's model and can also obtain a relatively large profit, and this will become the main force in the export of our army's aviation products.

The mid-range continues to improve the WS-10 Taihang, a model with great potential, and if the maximum thrust of the new WS-10D can reach 150 kN, it will be more than enough to match the J-10 and J-11, J-15 series, and even the fourth-generation model of the J-21 can also be driven by this cheaper engine.

In this way, through the improved J-10D/J-11D new fighters, even a single aircraft can gain combat capability with the US F-15, Russia's Su-35, France's "Rafale", and Europe's "Typhoon" EF2000. The existing fighters can also further tap their potential and extend their combat life through the replacement and improvement of avionics equipment.

Fourth-generation fighters are too expensive, and at least for the next 10 years, it will be the era when the new improved J-10/J-11 will play the leading role. With the assistance of large early warning aircraft and the support of the theater joint combat system, it is not a myth that these pinnacle works of third-generation aircraft compete with fourth-generation fighters.

After the improvement of the WS-20A, the new WS-20B became the core power of the J-20 and subsequent fifth-generation fighters. Judging from the current situation, in the future, about 150 J20 and 300 J-21s will be produced, and with more than 2,000 improved models of third-generation fighters such as J-10 and J-11, there will not be much problem in gaining air superiority in Asia.

In terms of UAV aero engines, Duke suggested that based on the current successful Rolls-Royce AE3007H engine, it should be further improved and finalized as WS-18, which will be used as the main power for future UAVs, using the Terminator and Shadow series of large UAVs that are currently being developed. In the future, more advanced supersonic UAVs will use improved engines of the WS-13 series to act as power.

When these aircraft engines are serialized, our fighters will be able to basically meet the current standards of the US military in terms of power, and the gap between the main fighters of the entire air force and the US military will be greatly narrowed, and this will be reflected in the Asian battlefield, and the air force with home field superiority will be able to comprehensively contend with the US air force in the Asia-Pacific region.

Radar and missiles will be the two key auxiliary means to cooperate with the improvement of the Air Force, and on the basis of existing technology, it can be greatly improved with the superhuman computer intelligence technology mastered by Duke.

Therefore, Mr. Liu and his big men were very satisfied after hearing this, and it was originally the wishful thinking of several of their old foxes to be able to let Duke, a scientific and technological genius, participate in this major decision, so that at least in the next few years, Duke would have to work for the military, and with Duke, a scientific and technological genius, in the core technology of modern weapons such as computers, communications, and new materials, they would not worry that this plan could not be realized.

Therefore, the huge plan proposed by Duke and Qin Tairan was adopted by the Military Commission, Duke as the chief scientist, is fully responsible for the technical research direction of this plan in terms of technology, and Qin Tairan will lead the military researchers as the general person in charge to complete the new five-year plan codenamed "Shenlong", Qin Tairan's new position will be the vice president of aviation equipment research in AVIC, although the rank has not changed, but it is clear that after the completion of this plan, Qin Tairan's ascension has been unstoppable.

This is Qin Tairan's luck, but in the face of the CIA's lore order, can Qin Tairan's luck still protect Duke safe and sound through this crisis?
