21, 5/25.

Honsavady.

Kachin State, Aoba Airlines' Mengguan Town aircraft manufacturing base.

After a rainstorm, the sky is still covered with dark clouds.

The MiG-25 production line, which has been commissioned for more than a week, officially began to assemble the first batch of 20 fighters today.

Carl and Wang Haoran were personally involved in the assembly work.

This is also the disadvantage of the old production line, even if it has been modernized and automated, but some processes can still only be assembled manually.

Two models of engines with a high degree of similarity to the R15B-300 turbojet engine used in the MiG-25 appeared on the hoisting platform.

Wang Haoran asked in a low voice: "Is this the Chixin turbojet engine improved by our factory?" ”

Mu Ziying, who also came to help, replied with a smile: "Yes, this is a wild heart. ”

According to the internal renaming of Aoba Aviation, the magic version of the MiG-25 will naturally not use the original old name, but will use the "Eagle-1" fighter, referred to as: Eagle fighter.

After replacing a series of new materials, the empty weight of the Eagle fighter remained only 7.3 tons.

The two Chixin turbojet engines increased the thrust of the Eagle by 35.2%, and the fuel consumption increased by 6.3% at the maximum power output.

The extremely powerful biochip constitutes the super brain of the Eagle fighter, which is enough to form a perfect human-machine coordination with the new human pilot.

Some of the parameters of the current Eagle fighter are as follows:

The dimensions are basically the same as those of the MiG-25.

Engine thrust: maximum thrust 2×116.59 kN, afterburner thrust 2×148.39 kN.

Airframe empty weight: 7.3 tons.

Normal take-off weight: 43.5 tons.

Maximum take-off weight: 47.5 tons.

Built-in fuel tank capacity: 14.5 tons.

Payload: 21.7 tons.

Maximum speed: Mach 3.7.

Normal cruising range: 4432 km, plus auxiliary fuel tanks 5658 km.

Supersonic range: 1532 km, 2021 km with auxiliary fuel tanks.

Among these data, the core ones are engine thrust, payload and range, and it is obvious that the Eagle fighter has been greatly improved in these three aspects compared to the original MiG-25.

The reason for this situation is mainly due to the improvement of engine technology and the supercomputer system supporting the aircraft, so that the fuel consumption of the Eagle fighter at cruising speed is only 46.8% of that of the MiG-25.

As long as the speed does not explode above Mach 3, the range of the Eagle fighter will be greatly improved.

You must know that on the basis of the MiG-25, Lucia subsequently developed the MiG-31, using the D-30F6 turbofan engine, which has a maximum thrust of 93.1 kN and an afterburner thrust of 151.9 kN.

This figure is almost on par with that of the Chixin engine.

As a heavy fighter, the Eagle fighter is actually more powerful than the Su-27 and F15 of the current same level.

After all, that 21.7-ton payload is enough to kill a lot of fighters of the same level in seconds.

And the increase in payload is mainly due to the weight of the extrusion of the new material.

In addition, thanks to the assistance of the supercomputer, the Eagle fighter also changed the poor performance of the MiG-25 in low-altitude and low-speed dogfights.

After all, the human brain is only suitable for fuzzy analysis, inspiration and fantasy, etc., and it is difficult to compete with biological computers in terms of reaction speed and knowledge reserve.

In the process of fighting, the fighter often tests the pilot's reaction speed and composure.

In this regard, new humans with supercomputing assistance can basically beat natural people.

The Honsawady Air Force and Aoba Aviation have conducted several supercomputing simulated battles, and the new humans can basically achieve a victory rate of about 86% in the air combat simulated flying the Eagle fighter.

Those failed battles are not actually complete defeats, but are besieged by the enemy, or super-saturated blows.

After all, if there are more ants, they can bite the elephant to death.

In simulated battles, the computer can only win one-on-one, so the computer will use all the resources at its disposal and use all means.

New humans are human beings after all, and they are also a little overwhelmed by the crazy computers.

Through simulated battles again and again, not only Honsawady's confidence is high, but Aoba Aviation is also a lot more confident.

Previously, many engineers and designers of Aoba Airlines thought that the MiG-25 was old-fashioned, and it was a waste of time for Aoba Aviation to build it.

Now they have finally come to their senses.

The assembly work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Looking at the Eagle fighter in front of them, little by little, everyone couldn't help but get excited, they all wanted to see the Eagle fighter soaring into the blue sky as soon as possible.

A group of engineers and technicians who were excited almost forgot to sleep and ate and devoted themselves to the assembly work this time.

More than half a month later.

The first Eagle fighter was finally assembled and fully inspected.

The Air Force also sent a professional ground crew, as well as five test pilots.

It just so happened that the weather around Kachin State had been rainy recently.

Although the neighbors to the west and north can lock the position of the aircraft through high-power radar.

However, the surface of the fuselage of the Eagle fighter itself is covered with a very thin layer of high-temperature absorbing material, and the probability of being locked by the radar is very small.

The pilot, armed with a pistol and an auxiliary exoskeleton, sat in the cockpit and pressed the door close button.

[Start System Self-Test...... ］

[Fuel oil stock 14.5 tons...... ］

[No foreign body blockage in the inlet tract...... ］

[The avionics system is all right...... ］

The pilot communicated with the tower for a while, then pressed the engine ignition.

Suddenly, the nozzle behind the engine spit out a light blue flame, and the flame regularly erupted into miniature shock waves, which were the aftermath of the explosion shock waves inside the engine.

Eagle fighters quickly sprint down the runway.

Takeoff.

Looking at the fighter jet soaring into the blue sky again, Karl and Mikoyan glanced at each other, and each other showed a hint of excitement and excitement.

The pilot activates the on-board supercomputing cohoming system, and then begins to do various low-altitude and low-speed grappling maneuvers.

If there is a fighter who is good at low-altitude dogfights at this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to compete with the Eagle fighter.

After all, the Eagle fighters and pilots are hanging.

After various maneuvers, the Eagle began to sprint upwards, giving full play to its true nature as a high-altitude and high-speed fighter.

However, because Kachin State is a border area, and there are borders on three sides, east, west and north, so to fly at supersonic speed, you can only fly south.

The Mach rings created by supersonic flight, even in the clouds at the top of the clouds, become somewhat noticeable.

The pilot pushes the throttle lever to the bottom.

The explosion shock wave in the combustion chamber of the Eagle fighter that entered the furious mode instantly skyrocketed, and the explosive power that was so terrifying that it could almost tear apart the ordinary engine pushed the flight speed to the limit of Mach 3.7.

It wasn't until more than half of the fuel was consumed and after flying more than 700 kilometers to the south that the pilot finally stopped the violent acceleration, then entered the cruising speed and flew back in the most fuel-efficient way.

After flying back to the airport.

Karl, Mikoyan, Wang Haoran, Mu Ziying and other engineers cheered in unison.

After a few minutes of joy, Karl clapped his hands: "Colleagues, now we are divided into two groups, one group to cooperate with the flight test, and make maintenance records. The other group was working with all its might to assemble the remaining fighters. ”

"Good!"

"I can't help myself anymore and want to make a big move."

"Hahaha......"

The work of both groups went very smoothly, after all, the MiG-25 was chosen at the beginning, because it was cheap and there was a complete set of perfect design drawings.

The Eagle fighter basically did not change the aerodynamic layout and the position of the internal parts, but only reduced the weight of the parts and increased the overall performance of the parts.

The few areas where there are improvements are also in terms of engines.

With the completion of the assembly of 20 Eagle fighters, the test work has also increased due to the increase in test samples, and various test data are also accumulating rapidly.

These test data are actually very important, and they are related to the future improvement of fighter jets and the ability to have more operating models for airborne supercomputers.

And this series of tests is obviously impossible to completely hide from the outside world.

After all, supersonic flight produces a sonic boom, and in parts of Honsavady, it is already known that there are planes flying in the sky these days.
