Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

The food in the mountains is not as bad as expected. It is better than at school. At least you can eat some meat every day.

"This is all game that the soldiers shot. There isn't much, so I just want to taste it!"

There is a company stationed around the 14th station, with more than a hundred people, guarding various checkpoints and patrolling.

Normally, the camps are basically in the same place. If there are any good things, the 14th camp can also benefit from them.

Of course, Zhao Guoqing didn't care too much. If he wanted to eat meat, he wouldn't go into the mountains and forests.

All 12 people in the newcomer's office are here. Everyone comes with ideals. College students are a hot commodity in this era. In other places, both income and conditions will be much better.

Similar to any period, there are far fewer women than boys studying technology. Among the 12 people, there is only one girl, her name is Roujing. She is not a technical major and comes from the Russian Department of S University.

Now China's technical route comes from Mao Xiong, and Zhao Guoqing doesn't know where Institute 14 got so many technical drawings, some of which are quite new.

After all, there are only a few people who know Russian, so Roujing’s advantage is obvious. Although everyone in the newcomer group has been given a Russian dictionary, no one is willing to look it up. Just ask Roujing directly. Of course, there are many professional terms, and Roujing also don't know.

Zhao Guoqing's demand for translation is not high. He stands at a different height and has different understandings.

Mao Xiong's avionics design was considered by later generations to be lagging behind the West. In Zhao Guoqing's view, one thing they ignored was that Mao Xiong designed military products with performance that was not weaker than that of the West when the semiconductor industry was seriously backward.

Without carbon fiber composite materials and cutting-edge titanium alloy processing technology, they used stainless steel to create the world's first MiG-25 that could fly at Mach 3.2. This record is still far ahead even forty years later.

Their advantage is systems engineering.

In Zhao Guoqing’s memory, he didn’t have much exposure to Mao Xiong’s technology, and he had more exposure to Western technical routes.

In the United States, they focus on standardization, dividing a system project into several sub-items, and formulating ways of connecting each sub-item, such as the 1553B bus.

Each sub-item, such as radar, electronic control, optoelectronic equipment... is connected together through a bus, and each sub-item realizes independent functions, which is equivalent to each cassette. The realization of functions can give full play to the creativity of designers.

There are many benefits to doing this, it facilitates the replacement of equipment and the upgrade of various sub-items. Of course, it also has disadvantages, and the disadvantages are also the advantages of Mao Xiong technology.

That is systems engineering.

Decades later, Yingjiang also noticed that they also included a lot of comprehensive system engineering in the design.

Now, being able to get close contact with Mao Xiong's avionics technology, although it was not the latest technology, Zhao Guoqing was deeply touched. He could even see the development direction of Mao Xiong's technical route.

Perhaps his conclusion can only be proven when the country introduces Su-27 fighter jets in a few years.

He is now like a beggar who has been hungry for a long time, seeing a room full of delicious food, eagerly absorbing the essence of knowledge...

Of course, there were some technical issues that he couldn't quite figure out.

For example, the technology of Mao Xiong radar to filter out clutter.

"Director Liu, I feel that this circuit cannot filter out most clutter. There is another situation. If the aircraft is flying close to the ground or flying at high altitude, the echo angle is extended at 60°, and the reflected wave is likely to be filtered out as clutter. Got it!"

"..."

"Director Liu, I would like to apply to see all the test data that does not have this kind of radar!"

"National Day, do you see this yourself?"

"..."

A layman watches the excitement, an expert watches the door. The new college students are now thinking about how to understand the drawings, and Zhao Guoqing has already seen the logic of the drawing design.

You must know that radar technology is an application-oriented subject. No matter how good your theory is, the practical verification may not be the same thing.

Being able to propose the filtering of reflected wave clutter does not sound like a newcomer in radar technology. I am afraid it is not just nonsense!

"This circuit is already perfect, do you have any basis for it?"

Zhao Guoqing took out a thick stack of calculation papers and told Director Liu to shut up.

Director Liu was not an expert in radar technology, but he had all 14. When he came to the office of Bi Zhang, the chief engineer of the third group, with the draft calculation in hand, Bi Zhang also jumped up.

"Old Liu, the real person doesn't show his face! The Russian-made meter-wave air radar does have this shortcoming."

"...You said this is indeed the case?"

"What's going on, Lao Liu, isn't this the conclusion of your research?"

Director Liu smiled: "The new college student made it, not me!"

"New college students? Are college students so powerful now?"

Last year, several college students came to the 14th Institute, and they are still working on drawings in the reference room. The reason is very simple. The basic knowledge is not solid and they cannot get started at all.

This is also the case for college students who came this year. First, they will stuff in the technical information and drawings as much as they can understand. After a month, the old people will lead the newcomers and they will slowly get started.

"This Zhao Guoqing is different!"

Director Liu talked about the first time he met Zhao Guoqing at school.

"Mr. Jin is asking? How is that possible?"

The research directions of Jin Lao and the 14th Institute overlap, one is land-based radar, and the other is air-based radar. In fact, there are many technical exchanges between them, and General Engineer Bi still understands Jin Lao's academic level.

"I remember Zhao Guoqing said at that time that the future of radar lies in semiconductors!"

"He is a young man with ideas!"

Chief Engineer Bi smiled. Nowadays, those engaged in radar in China are basically divided into two groups. One is to follow the route of Mao Xiong and use tube integrated circuits, focusing on the miniaturization of tubes.

In the eyes of many people, electronic tubes are reliable, easy to repair, have superior performance and mature technology.

The other school of semiconductors is different. The reliability of China's semiconductors is not up to standard and cannot withstand extremely high power. There are too many technical limitations in semiconductor materials, and the risks faced are greater.

"Let's go and take a look!"

The two came to the original data room. Through the glass on the door, Engineer Bi could see Zhao Guoqing in the back row immersed in studying the drawings.

There was no other reason. Among the twelve people, when they saw the commotion at the door, eleven people raised their heads. Only Zhao Guoqing buried his head and ignored it. This kind of concentration is not easy. When he saw Director Liu's eyes again, he immediately raised his head. Looking in the direction of Zhao Guoqing, he basically confirmed it.

At this time, Zhao Guoqing actually noticed the movement at the door, and he also used his peripheral vision to observe the people coming in.

An intern has no say.

He wants to use advanced technology to let 14 institutes keep up with him.
