Chapter 243: Preparing to Replicate the Electronic Warfare Pod
As one of the key cities in the Yangtze River basin with developed economy, Jinling actually has many flights to the capital every day, and it stands to reason that Chang Haonan only needs to ask the college to buy him a ticket as he did when he first went to Shengjing.
But after experiencing a series of previous events, Chang Haonan is naturally no longer the unknown little person.
For example, in order to ensure safety, all his air travel will be handled by United Airlines, which has an Air Force background, for free.
Chang Haonan himself was happy to save trouble, so he directly boarded a Boeing 737 aircraft operated under the name of CUA353 in the afternoon.
This flight is real, from the capital to Chancheng after stopping in Jinling, but not every day open, the three airports of Nanyuan, Dajiaochang and Shadi are all military-civilian airports in charge of the army, which is very suitable for Chang Haonan to travel under the premise of not making too much movement.
And Xu Yang, who was going to Jinling with him, also got wet by the way and experienced the first-class cabin operated by United Airlines.
However, the price of her air ticket is still given by 14, and it is just the price of economy class.
Of course, despite the name, in the late 90s, the first class of most short-haul aircraft was essentially business class with upgraded hardware.
"Their electrical technology group is so rich, can they buy first class for both of us?"
Xu Yang put away his carry-on luggage, and then felt the seat that was more spacious and soft than that of economy class.
She didn't know the inside story, and she was only told about the upgrade when she came to the airport to change her ticket, so she naturally thought that it was an arrangement made by Jinling.
"It's okay, although the benefits of the electric technology group are really good, I don't have to spend money on the plane, and even if we don't upgrade, they can't sell many tickets here."
Chang Haonan said, flattening the seat to close to 180 degrees, ready to take a break.
In this era, there are only a handful of people who can afford to fly, and even fewer passengers who can afford to pay for a higher class of cabin.
As a result, the last first-class cabin is basically Chang Haonan's no-cost upgrade, or at least Xu Yang's no-cost upgrade.
"It's okay if it doesn't cost money?"
After two days of hard work, Xu Yang was used to all kinds of surprises brought by Chang Haonan, so he didn't show any surprise, but just half-jokingly:
"I knew that there was such a good thing, and I also joined your aviation industry group after returning to China."
Apparently she thought it was a welfare within the aviation industry system.
Chang Haonan did not break the misunderstanding of the other party, and replied in the same joking tone:
"It's not too late if you want to join......
……
When the plane landed, the 14th Institute of Electrical Science and Technology naturally arranged a special person to be responsible for picking up the plane.
It's just that unlike the common 212+ Coaster configuration in the north, Jinling uses a 212+ Iveco with local characteristics.
Before Chang Haonan's rebirth, this kind of light passenger car had almost no users except for centralized procurement and use as a special vehicle chassis, but from the 90s to 2010, Iveco can be said to be a popular model all over the country.
Not surprisingly, the one who led the team was Guo Lin, who had met Chang Haonan and the others.
"Guo Gong is very fast, I thought I would have to wait a few days."
The three shook hands and got into the car.
Xu Yang sat in the same double row as Chang Haonan very naturally.
"As soon as I heard that it was the two of you who we were going to invite, I directly approved the note without saying a word, for fear that something would be delayed."
Guo Lin motioned to the driver in front of him to drive:
"Shall we take a rest or what shall we say?"
Chang Haonan turned his head to look at Xu Yang beside him, who just shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't care.
"Then let's take a look at the pod after putting away the luggage, Researcher Xu and I have been eager to see what this high-end thing looks like for the Americans."
"No problem."
The 14th Electric Power Department is only about 20 kilometers away from Dajiaochang Airport, and in the 90s, there was basically no traffic jam in the meeting, and it only took about half an hour to reach the destination.
After getting out of the car, the two entered a building under the leadership of Guo Lin, and then turned around several times before finally seeing the seized pod and other staff of the 14th Institute in a place that should be in the basement.
The place of work is not a place for small talk, so after a simple greeting, Chang Haonan and Xu Yang changed into anti-static lab clothes and got close to their research subjects for the first time.
"We have basically completed the splicing of these fragments with the efforts of the past few days, although the function must no longer be restored, but at least the overall appearance should be similar to before the break."
Guo Lin followed behind the two and introduced.
The moment he saw this pod, Chang Haonan was basically sure that his previous guess was not wrong.
Leaving aside the synthetic aperture radar antenna in the middle, this is an electronic jamming device based on digital radio frequency storage (DRFM) technology.
And Xu Yang next to him also found the point almost at the same time:
"There's no traveling wave tube or CNC phase shifter, and if you're sure you didn't miss it during the search, then this thing should have a relatively new, all-digital design."
It is no different from Chang Haonan's judgment.
The latter did not rashly act on his own, but asked the staff next to him to remove the fairing of several shells that somewhat blocked the view, revealing the true face of them.
"But...... The design of this pod is so bloated. ”
Xu Yang, who saw the whole picture of the interior, frowned slightly, and seemed to feel a little puzzled.
"When we first searched in the mountains, we thought it was very strange, but we can be sure that at least there are no large pieces missing, and this thing must have been designed to look like this."
Guo Lin explained beside him.
Chang Haonan, who was circling the wreckage of the pod, was also surprised.
He has seen pictures of the inside of the AN/APS-154 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) pod and the AN/ALQ-99 electronic jamming pod, and although the bottom half is basically empty, the equipment fill rate is still about 60%.
But the thing in front of me is at least 10 meters long, not to mention, only the front and back ends and the middle section are equipped inside, and the rest of the parts are empty shells-
Perhaps due to power supply or weight limitations, the SAR antenna inside the pod is only about 4 meters long, and the space is not fully utilized.
And logically speaking, this tactical equipment should be as compact as possible.
"Anyway, first use the optical magnification device to look at the circuit design, I see that the memory has been broken, there should be no possibility of restoring the program code."
Chang Haonan decided to put aside his doubts for the time being and start with a more reliable place.
When he first walked into this laboratory, he was worried about what special equipment he needed, but the several circuit boards that are the core of the interference part are not too large, and only ordinary light microscopes are needed.
High-end scientific research often requires only the most simple tools.
"Phase Accumulator, Waveform Memory, Low-Pass Filter, Reference Clock, ......"
Although Chang Haonan has never seen these 90s component models, it is still not difficult to judge what their functions are through some external features and vague inscriptions on the surface:
"That's right, this board is a direct-digital synthesizer."
"Under the control of the reference clock, the phase accumulator linearly accumulates the frequency control word K, and the obtained phase code (n) addresses the waveform memory (ROM) to output the corresponding amplitude code, and the corresponding analog signal can be output after DAC and low-pass filtering."
Chang Haonan raised his head from the binocular microscope, and then found that Guo Lin next to him and his colleagues were looking at him with incredible eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"This ...... Only...... Straight out of the way? ”
Guo Lin looked at Chang Haonan, who looked as usual, as if he was just eating and drinking, and then looked at the huge pod next to him that had just been put together.
He suddenly felt as if his previous work had been a bit wasted......
