Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

Chapter 520

In the command room, Xu Huasheng and a group of experts discussed for a long time before leaving the command room.

Judging from the performance of this cruise, the performance indicators of the modified Sixth Master have reached the design requirements. The bomber platform is already available, and the main direction of future efforts is to hang various advanced weapons and pods on the Sixth Master, so that the Sixth Master can become a real Sixth Master. If it is a complete Sixth Master, the combat power is absolutely amazing.

Moreover, the modified version of the Sixth Master can also team up with the original Sixth Master. The modified Sixth Master is responsible for command, and other Sixth Masters are responsible for carrying weapons to attack. If several Sixth Masters gather together, it will really become a group of Sixth Masters. If they are equipped with powerful hypersonic anti-ship missiles, several Sixth Masters can even destroy an aircraft carrier formation.

It is much more cost-effective to get a group of Sixth Masters than to get an aircraft carrier formation. Now that China has no money to build a shield, it will build the strongest spear. As long as the spear is strong enough and there are enough, even if the United States brings ten aircraft carrier battle groups, it will not be afraid to deal with them.

After leaving the command room, Xu Huasheng followed a few people to a conference room, which was already full of people.

"Everyone, after so many days of hard work, today is the last discussion meeting for the design indicators of our H-16 project..."

An old man said directly.

The H-16 project is the Chinese version of the White Swan. This project is now the H-16 project in China, but the H-16 and the Soviet White Swan are completely two different combat concepts. During this period, everyone has been carefully studying and discussing specific design indicators.

"Okay, let Chief Engineer Sun tell us in detail..."

After the old man finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked up to the stage and greeted everyone, and then opened the PPT.

"Everyone, the design concept of our H-16 project is to comply with the concept of future air combat. The main task of the H-16 is to carry out ultra-long-range precision strikes on the ground, sea, and air. At the same time, it must also serve as a drone mothership to carry, guide, and command drone groups..."

Chief Engineer Sun began to introduce in detail many design indicators that have been determined after such a long time.

Simply put, the H-16 is an enhanced version of the modified H-6, but the H-6 is even more H-6 than the modified H-6.

After all, the H-16 has a good foundation, which is modified from the White Swan foundation. All data are much better than the H-6, so the H-16 project is much more amazing than the modified H-6.

"In the future, each of our H-16 will be a mothership. The radar uses phased array airborne radar and common patch radar, with multi-band detection capabilities. The detection distance for ordinary targets must reach 2,000 kilometers, and the detection distance for stealth targets must reach 1,000 kilometers. At the same time, it has comprehensive command capabilities and can command a large number of drones as wingmen. The fuselage and engine will be optimized, and the fuel economy of the optimized fighter will be more prominent. With a load of 10 tons, the range will reach 18,000 kilometers, the maximum flight altitude will reach 25,000 meters, the maximum flight speed will reach Mach 2.5, and the maximum take-off weight will reach 300 tons..."

Chief Engineer Sun said the data one by one, and everyone listened very carefully.

"The cockpit should use the most advanced digital cockpit and the fly-by-wire system. In addition to the crew cabin, a command and combat cabin should be added. The weapon rack should not only be able to carry various weapons and ammunition, but also be able to carry drones. At the same time, the H-16 should also have corresponding electronic warfare capabilities. According to different battlefield requirements, different electronic warfare pods and weapon systems can be replaced modularly..."

In the conference room, design indicators were announced one by one. These design indicators are not nonsense, but are designed based on some technologies that China has or some technologies that may be broken through in the future.

Looking at these technical indicators, everyone was excited. The performance indicators of the H-16 are too good. The range is 18,000 kilometers, and it also has the ability to refuel in the air.

The modular rack can quickly hang various weapons and electronic warfare pods to adapt to different battlefield environments. It also has some of the functions of early warning aircraft, with command capabilities, early warning capabilities, and electronic warfare capabilities. This thing can also hang a bunch of electronic pods and can be used as a giant reconnaissance aircraft. A circle can collect a lot of data.

Once you need to fight, remove the pods, hang weapons or drones, and take a group of drones to fight.

The key is that this thing flies fast. The optimized aircraft can make this thing reach a maximum speed of 2.5 Mach and a maximum flight altitude of 25,000 meters. Most fighters can't catch up.

And this thing can also mount hypersonic weapons or hypersonic drones.The drone can be hung under the Sixth Master. The speed of that drone exceeds Mach 6 and the range is up to 8,000 kilometers. That thing is a super fast suicide drone. In many places, this drone is more threatening than missiles.

At the same time, the H-16 can also carry laser weapons. Laser weapons are also very powerful in the right place, especially in confrontation. This thing is very powerful and can directly blind the opponent's pilot.

Of course, it also has nuclear strike capability. And it is very powerful and can carry various nuclear bombs.

The name of the H-16 sounds like a bomber, but China is not going to use it as a bomber at all. It does not focus on bombing capabilities at all, but emphasizes ultra-long-range strike capabilities against land, sea and air.

It is completely a large fighter. As for the bombing mission, if a war breaks out in the future, China will not be able to obtain air superiority, and the bomber will be killed.

If air superiority is obtained, there is no need to use the H-16 for bombing. Just take off the unmanned bomber with various bombs. Although unmanned bombers may be slow and have a small payload, they can form clusters and are cheap.

One is not enough for ten, ten is not enough for a hundred, a thousand or even ten thousand. They don't need people, are cheap to build, and don't require advanced technology. Just use a turboprop engine. The main feature is that they are cheap and easy to use. Anyway, once you have air superiority, you can just fly over slowly and bomb directly on a large scale.

Even if the enemy still has some air defense weapons, you won't feel bad about shooting them down, because there's no one on them anyway. For example, the unmanned bomber Twin-Tailed Scorpion made by China Future is very useful.

At the beginning, the Twin-Tailed Scorpion was developed by a civilian company and was mainly used for express delivery. In the end, it was favored by the military and further developed and turned into an unmanned bomber.

At the beginning, the Twin-Tailed Scorpion had a range of about 8,000 kilometers and a payload of less than two tons.

But by 2035, after several generations of evolution, this thing can no longer be called a double-tailed scorpion, but a double-tailed dragon. It has increased in size, has a range of 12,000 kilometers, and can be refueled in the air. The most important thing is that the bomb load has reached 12 tons, and it can take off from a short distance. It is cheap, strong and durable, and you don’t feel bad about shooting it down.

This is the main model of future bombers. After gaining air superiority in the future, the H-16 can take a group of these things to the enemy area for large-scale bombing.

The ultra-long range and aerial refueling capabilities allow this thing to be on standby in the air 24 hours a day, and cooperate with various types of unmanned aerial vehicles such as unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, unmanned early warning aircraft, unmanned refueling aircraft, etc., to directly cover the battlefield and be on standby 24 hours a day to carry out precise strikes on the enemy, which is crazy.
