"The situation has changed, and we need to go all out for the Nantianmen project."

Hailan, in the living room, Chen Guo said to Chen Nian with a serious expression.

"Why? Is there already a fight on the other side? ”

"Not yet, but soon. The higher-ups have made a decision to solve the problem in the most direct way. ”

"The operation regarding Organization 003 is still continuing, but it has been relegated to a secondary level, and we need to break the trick with our strength."

"No matter what intrigues they play, we only care about our own development, and if we want to develop, we must limit the possible outbreak of war to the North American continent and to the United States."

"So at this point, the role of the Nantianmen air platform has been elevated to an irreplaceable level."

"We can't directly station troops in other countries to avoid secondary political and military disasters, and we must maintain a military presence for a long time, so an ultra-long-endurance air platform is the best choice."

"So, the superiors sent a letter of inquiry to Xinghuo, and they want to ask for your opinion."

Speaking of this, Chen Guo paused for a moment.

He was actually in a bit of a trance, because this person sent Chen Nian an inquiry, not an order.

However, it seems that this is exactly what makes it reasonable?

With a cough, Chen Guo rearranged his thoughts, and then said:

"According to the return of the Nantianmen project team, it will take at least three years to form a usable combat force, and even if it is just to take off, it will take 18 months."

"It's still too long, far beyond our demand cycle."

"Therefore, all the core participants of the superior organization have re-evaluated the project, and the conclusion of the evaluation is that the main time and resources of the Nantianmen project are still invested in technological research and development and breakthroughs, and the basic production, processing and construction work has not encountered obstacles."

"If the speed of technology research and development and application can be more than doubled, the time for Nantianmen to take off can also be shortened from 18 months to less than 9 months."

"What do you think? Is it feasible? ”

After listening to Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian's brows furrowed.

The task of making the first test flight of the largest air platform in human history in nine months cannot be said to be exaggerated, it is simply unheard of.

It is true that our infrastructure capacity is very strong, and our resource scheduling rate is higher, but the problem is that no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the process, nor will we encounter any technical difficulties that are difficult to solve.

Well, it really seems that you are the only one.

The number of source points is still very sufficient, even if 100% of the analysis of the Nantianmen platform is completed, it will not be able to spend the 6,000 source points at hand.

The only point that needs to be considered is the problem of "the total number of source points" that I considered before.

However, manpower is sometimes exhausted, this is an objective law, and there is no need to be too stubborn.

Let's make sure to survive! First of all, ensure that the development path is not broken!

So, Chen Nian replied decisively:

"No problem, I can be involved in the whole process."

"But how can security be guaranteed? Didn't we think about the infiltration of Organization 003 before? How to solve it now? ”

"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Come one, solve one. If we really can't hide it one day, we will flip the table with them. ”

"Good!"

An extremely important decision was decided in a brief conversation between the two.

Soon, a briefing on all the technical development paths of the Nantianmen project was also on Chen Nian's desk.

In fact, there are three most important systems of an air platform, which are the suspension system, the power system and the bearing system.

From the perspective of the suspension system, at the beginning of the project, the project team demonstrated that the plan was to use a relatively traditional gas suspension scheme, which can ensure the stability and safety of the entire air platform in the event of power system failure.

But the problem is that although the fault tolerance rate of gas suspension has increased, the efficiency has been greatly reduced, can you imagine a future aerial platform, which is actually a large airship?

Coupled with the effects of air pressure and temperature changes in the high-altitude environment, this solution seems reliable, but it faces many problems when it is actually implemented.

Therefore, with the realization of fusion technology, the continuous improvement of engine technology, and the technical demonstration given by Chen Nian, this plan was finally abandoned, and the project team chose a more radical and challenging pure power scheme.

That is, the suspension of the air platform is guaranteed entirely by the uninterrupted work of the engines.

120 TBCC engines and 40 LTV engines can ensure that this platform can achieve stable suspension in the stratosphere, troposphere and outer space, and the only core problem that needs to be solved is actually only one, that is:

Engine heat dissipation.

You must know that, aside from the LTV engine, these 120 TBCC engines are powered by 12 fission or 4 fusion reactors deployed on the whole ship under the turbojet condition, and the technology used is the Tu-95LAL scheme analyzed and optimized by Chen Nian, but in the ramjet condition, the legendary liquid-gas integrated core ramjet scheme is used.

This scheme will directly inject the propellant into the fission and fusion reactor of liquid or gas, so as to reach the highest internal temperature, and the specific impulse can even reach more than 7000

However, such a solution brings significant heat dissipation pressure, and not all the heat can be fully utilized, even if Chen Nian has provided key insulation materials to the project team through technical analysis, it is still not enough.

In order to completely solve the problem, it is necessary to optimize the layout of the entire platform from a systematic perspective and reserve sufficient heat dissipation function redundancy.

And this is the first problem that Chen Nian needs to solve.

While reading the briefing, he wrote and drew on it, recorded the key problem points, and prepared for the subsequent unified implementation analysis.

In addition to this heat dissipation problem, the aerodynamic layout issue is also very critical.

In the general perception, the larger the platform, the slower the maneuvering speed, and even in many film and television works, the aerial platform is basically suspended at high altitude.

But in reality, this is definitely not the best solution.

In fact, it is the best solution to ensure the continuous horizontal movement of the air platform, obtain a certain vertical lift and reduce the engine load through aerodynamics.

In the design, the maximum speed of the Nantianmen platform is required to reach Mach 0.65 and the conventional cruising speed is Mach 0.5.

Therefore, how to ensure the optimal aerodynamic utility without affecting the function of the load-bearing system has become a design problem.

And this problem has not been solved so far.

Then there is the last item, the problem of the bearing system.

At the heart of the question is how to strike a balance between weight, efficiency and deterrence.

Unlike the sea surface platform, the weight that the air platform can carry is limited, and it is really not a simple matter to achieve the strongest firepower, the strongest deterrent power, and the highest efficiency in the limited weight.

In the final analysis, in order to get as close as possible to the so-called "perfect balance", there is a technical difficulty that must be solved.

That is: the problem of simplifying the structure of the bearing system.

One by one, the technical difficulties that were not too difficult, but they were all very troublesome, were placed in front of Chen Nian, and he slowly combed and screened slowly, and finally screened out nearly 40 problems that needed to be solved.

And these problems, he obviously can't do it all in one day with a pat on the head like before.

"Give me three months."

Chen Shen opened his mouth and said.

"Three months, understood."

Chen Guo didn't show any surprise, he knew very well that even for Chen Nian, this time was already close to the limit.

Therefore, when reporting to the top, he will explain the situation clearly, and Chen Nian does not need to worry about it anymore.

At the same time, near Miami, in the Gulf of Mexico, a semi-sunken submarine was quietly moving on the water.

The "submarine" was just under 50 centimeters above the water, and the crew looked out through a narrow glass hatch, which from the air even looked like a stained wooden board floating on the surface of the sea.

But in fact, the underwater part of the submarine is extremely large, and its cargo hold can even hold several tons of cargo.

And there is no doubt that these so-called "goods" are contraband that are to be shipped from Mexico to the United States.

In the cabin, the captain in charge of driving the ship carefully observed the surrounding environment, and in order to avoid the search of radar and electromagnetic signals, he used the most primitive method to locate the course, and achieved the highest safety with one ball.

In fact, this journey has indeed been smooth.

No helicopters, no speedboats, no patrol boats, and no pesky Yankees.

It seems that the relationship that the boss found last time was indeed hard enough, and the route they provided was also credible.

As long as you finish this order, you can take a huge share and bonuses and go back to live with peace of mind.

Be a drug dealer for a lifetime and eventually become a drug lord?

Maybe some people will like this kind of life, but they will definitely not be so stupid.

"Four nautical miles from the destination, be careful, we are going to enter the most dangerous place."

The captain spoke, and the four armed men accompanying the ship immediately nodded and clenched their rifles.

The submarine continued to move on, and in the darkness of the night, the captain could even see the lights on the shoreline.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that it is coming to an end-

However, at this moment, a white light fell from above his head.

This was followed by shouts coming through the loudspeakers.

He didn't have the heart to listen to what the other party was shouting, but he knew that he was finished.

At this moment, the little will to resist in his heart completely disappeared, and he even wanted to raise his hands and walk out of the hatch to surrender.

But the other party didn't seem to want him to do it.

Because the moment he opened the hatch, the bullet slanted mercilessly.

But he wasn't shot?

What's going on here?

"Fight back! Counterattack! Fight! ”

He shouted.

A few hours later, an inconspicuous piece of news appeared in the local media in the United States.

The ATF, DEA, and River Force spotted a group of drug dealers from Mexico during a joint enforcement and intercepted their boat.

However, due to the huge amount of contraband transported by the other party, after determining that there was no hope of escape, the gang of drug dealers launched a frantic counterattack and immediately called for backup.

As many as dozens of drug traffickers in speedboats launched a desperate attack on the joint law enforcement team, causing a total of four casualties and snatching a river assault boat, four drug traffickers escaped and entered the waters of the Colorados Islands.

Due to the territorial sea issue, the joint law enforcement team was unable to continue the pursuit, but they immediately appealed to the Cuban side, demanding that the other side return the lost equipment and hand over the drug traffickers who had fled into Cuba.

At the time of the news release, the Cuban side did not make an immediate decision.

——

In fact, no one can have too sharp intuition when dealing with this incident.

Because it's so commonplace, so boring.

It's no exaggeration to say that this kind of thing happens many times, if not every day.

Based on past experience, as long as there is sufficient time for processing, the Cuban side can find a way to catch the drug traffickers and then hand them over to the United States or Mexico in accordance with the established procedures.

But this time, things are a little different.

After a brief silence, the news quickly fermented, and under the deliberate guidance of the media, the wind direction began to change.

From the same victims, Cuba quickly became so-called "asylum seekers", and calls for tough measures against them began to emerge.

This situation was quickly discovered by the "commercial armed forces" team stationed in Havana, and in the barracks, the team leader and the officers stood together again, but this time, they were no longer discussing the so-called "possibility".

"It's so shameless, if they really start a war on such a ground, I'm really, I'm not a joke?"

The officer's face was full of anger, helplessness and unwillingness, he was indeed not afraid of war, but if the war was fought in such a way, in his opinion, it was indeed a little too ridiculous.

In 2017, the laundry detergent incident was repeated?

What is this!

Seeing his reaction, the team leader shook his head calmly and replied:

"This is only the first step, and since they have to do it, they will definitely complete the chain of evidence and make the reasons sufficient."

"So objectively speaking, no matter what your reaction is, the moment the assault boat enters the river, everything has already been decided."

"So, what we have to do is not to complain and refute, but to really prepare for war."

"There's no point in arguing, it's not like letting your country become a pressure relief for the other side, so be prepared."

"Understood."

The officer nodded solemnly and continued:

"I just find it ironic, but I also know what to do."

"We've got to speed up our training, right? Or should we jump into the real combat drill in advance? ”

"Also, when will the equipment arrive? I heard that your company will speed up the progress? ”

"That's right."

The team leader nodded and replied:

"Soon, the first batch of equipment will arrive."

"Get ready for the airport. You have to let the Americans know that you also have planes! ”
