Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

The consultation report on the other side of the ocean went around from the General Staff and returned to the table of the Committee of Science and Industry.

"Grumman wants to send technical personnel to inspect the phased array radar? The reason is very good."

Integrate the phased array radar with the computer system, inertial navigation system, weapon system and screen display system.

There was no way to refuse. The original plan of the Science and Technology Commission was to let Grumman be responsible for the avionics assembly of the J-8 modification project.

At the team meeting of the Science and Technology Commission, someone proposed.

"The Americans have long successfully developed a phased array radar. Now Mao Xiong has also successfully developed a phased array radar. Their radar has a detection range of three hundred kilometers and its performance is better than ours. Therefore, we should agree to Grumman's request. There is no risk of technology leakage. I would like to ask Grumman technicians to help us see if there is any possibility of further improvement of our phased array radar!"

His proposal was approved by many people.

Director Meng thought for a while and then said: "I still have to ask Comrade Zhao Guoqing for his opinion on this matter. After all, he has made the greatest contribution to the phased array radar and is also the most familiar with it!

I still have to correct what Director Tang said just now. Please think about the fact that our radar is installed on the shock cone inlet fighter, while the American radar is installed on the big nose of the Mao Xiong. , it’s hard to say who is more advanced than who, it’s not on the same track! "

"Director Meng, are you saying that our radar is more advanced than the United States and Mao Xiong's phased array radar?"

Meng Fanxing shook his head and said: "I can't judge. I just want to explain that our radar, including power supply, heat dissipation, and ancillary equipment, only weighs more than two hundred kilograms, but it can detect the phase of a furry bear three hundred kilometers away." The controlled array radar, based on the information that has been disclosed, may weigh more than one ton!"

"call!"

This is a key indicator. Airborne radars have too many constraints in terms of size and weight. Even the top airborne radars cannot keep up with the performance of land-based radars, and even vehicle-mounted radars are far behind. This is the reason.

"The performance of a radar weighing more than 200 kilograms can match 70% of the performance of a one-ton phased array radar. The weight difference is five times!"

"What if our radar can also reach one ton?"

Foreign trade technical director Yao Zhuoxi added with a solemn expression: "Last time we went to Grumman for an inspection, Grumman's foreign trade president Mr. Douglas showed us their latest phased array radar. I remember they said at the time that they The radar only weighs more than 380 kilograms, less than 400 kilograms. By the way, there is a sign in front of the radar model with the main parameters!"

Meng Fanxing remembered something and then said: "By the way, Director Yao, I remember you took photos. Let's see if there are any photos taken."

"Yes, I'll look for it!" Director Yao Zhuoxi left the conference room. Two minutes later, he returned to the conference room and took out a stack of photos.

The writing on the photo is small but still legible.

"383 kilograms, this is the data they reported themselves. Comrades, it should be clear by now. Our phased array radar technology is not lagging behind. If it can reach 383 kilograms and add one more size to the antenna, the performance will be amazing. I’m not sure, I’d better ask General Master Zhao for his opinion on this matter first!”

This time no one offered a different opinion.

After the meeting, Meng Fanxing rushed to the Kongzhi base, but accidentally missed it.

Ji Hongbo said: "Director Meng, you are late. Chief Zhao has gone to the General Staff!"

"You went to the General Staff? When will you come back? Will everything be okay?"

Director Meng Fanxing felt that it should be the same thing, and it couldn't be Grumman's business too!

Ji Hongbo shook his head and said: "The Eagle Eye project is coming to an end, and the researchers from various units have to find their own homes and mothers. General Manager Zhao is very anxious. It is not easy to build a chip research and development team. Now It would be a pity to demolish it, others can be put there, but those fifty-seven people still need to be considered!"

Meng Fanxing's eyes gleamed when he heard this, and grass grew in his mind. Why didn't he realize such an important thing? These people are all treasures. Now even Tsinghua University Microelectronics, National University of Defense Technology, and various institutes of the Academy of Sciences have no Ability to develop chips independently, and these people have experience in successfully developing phased array radar chips.

"Are you looking for Director Liu? I'll go take a look too!"

"Director Meng, take me with you!"

"Okay, come up..."

…………

Zhao Guoqing came to the General Staff for the first time. He made an appointment with Director Liu on the phone. When he arrived at the door, soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition stood at the sentry post. After registration, the person on duty at the post directly called Director Liu's office. Director Liu's secretary Hu Kaiyu The notice came down to the guard box in person and picked him up.

"Our inspection is a bit strict, Chief Zhao, we didn't keep you waiting too long!"

"Sorry to trouble you, Secretary Hu!"

"Haha, no trouble, I'm willing to do it. General Master Zhao, you are really amazing. Many people within the General Staff say that you are really amazing!"

"..."

Secretary Hu took Zhao Guoqing to Director Liu Qing's office and poured tea for Zhao Guoqing.

"Director Liu is still in a meeting. It will take about ten minutes. Please wait a moment. I will be outside. Call me if you need anything!"

"Okay, thank you Secretary Hu!"

Zhao Guoqing looked at Director Liu's office. It was an understatement to say it was shabby. There was only a desk, a few wooden stools, and a table in the reception area. The wood was almost worn off.

There is no decoration on the wall, but a Japanese sword is quite conspicuous, and it seems to be an object with a story.

Another thing is this nail on the wall next to the desk, hanging on it is a military uniform jacket that has been washed a little white. The body shape is obviously bigger than that of Director Liu Qing. Zhao Guoqing stood up and looked at it. On the military uniform. There are still bullet holes above the heart, and there are faint traces of blood...

strangeness!

There was a creaking sound as the door opened. Zhao Guoqing shifted his gaze and saw Director Liu Qing entering the office with a big tea vat in his hand.

"This dress belongs to my benefactor. He saved my life during the Korean War. I still haven't found him!"

"..."

There were too many stories from that era. Zhao Guoqing didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't say anything. If Director Liu Qing was willing to tell it, he could listen to the story.

The reason is that I feel the same way. Zhao Guoqing's father also participated in the Korean War. Like many people, he was very interested in the events of his father's generation.

More than once, he saw the wounds left by the Korean War on his father.

Zhao Guoqing looked at the dress again.

Strange, how come the positions are so similar.

His father also had a scar on his right lung, and the bullet was not removed until the end.

Chapter 5, today’s 11,000-word update, I feel confident asking everyone for monthly votes and recommendations.
