Chapter 462: J-35 Test Flight
Seeing this series of firepower equipment of the J-35, Li Chuan could only sigh that the military's demand for firepower is really not the largest, only bigger, and never want to satisfy them.
"Hmm..." After reading it, Li Chuan found that the J-35 fighter jet was not equipped with a cannon like the J-20 fighter jet. He understood the relevant data and understood that the J-20 cancelled the cannon to save 0.5 tons of load capacity and increase the range and combat efficiency of the fighter jet in disguise. It is acceptable to cancel the cannon.
The weight change of 0.5 tons is very critical to the J-20, but for the J-35 fighter, there is no shortage of these 0.5 tons. The rabbit, which has always had a high demand for firepower, actually canceled the cannon system, which surprised Li Chuan.
Then he asked a researcher present who had participated in the design of the J-35. Hearing this, the young researcher who was about the same age as Li Chuan smiled and said, "Professor Yang and our team have begun to prepare for the development of improved solutions, that is, the J-35C model. The 35C model is to add a new high-energy weapon system to replace the cannon on the fighter jet. The most reliable one is the laser heat ray system, but the real best configuration is the particle beam, and laser weapons still have great limitations."
Is it moving so fast?
Li Chuan couldn't help but look at the researcher with surprise. The latter smiled and added: "Our team unanimously believes that in the future advanced war, in addition to the absolute dominant guiding weapons, energy weapons must be equally divided with guided weapons. This is a major trend. Mr. Li, you have solved the biggest energy supply problem and can be said to have laid the solid foundation. Now our country's high-energy application physics laboratory is striving to overcome the difficulties of directional energy output. The two projects of laser heat rays and charged particles are competing on the same stage. After passing this level, it is inevitable that high-energy weapons will be loaded on the fighter."
Speaking of this, the young researcher couldn't help but sigh: "There is no doubt that in the field of high-energy technology, the mysterious ghost international organization led the entire world. We have seen the scene of the American satellite shooting down countless times, and once and for once, it is envious. It is electric-charged particle weapons or upstream particle weapons. It would be great if we could buy a set of weapon devices from them and do reverse engineering."
Hearing this, Li Chuan laughed calmly and said, "Ruth took one step at a time. The J-35 has now out of its combat effectiveness. There is no pressure to crush the most advanced fighter jets in all countries in the world."
At this time, Li Chuan's attention was attracted by a new person at the airport. He immediately raised his hand and looked at it with a look glass. He was wearing a space suit, which was a lightweight aerospace combat suit designed by China using the latest materials, specifically designed by aerospace pilots.
Flying aerospace fighter means that you have to frequently shuttle back and forth between outer space and atmosphere. You must design special aerospace combat uniforms for pilots. A traditional aerospace suit costs about 30 million yuan, while aerospace combat uniforms are even more expensive, and this one costs more than 70 million yuan.
It can be said that the sky plane has a prominent word from beginning to end: money!
The increase in productivity brings cheap labor costs. If we follow the traditional production model, the cost of a J-35 fighter will not be less than US$1 billion. Even so, the actual cost of the J-35 has reached US$680 million, or 4.5 billion. This does not count the equipment of the pilot and the cost of cultivating a pilot.
More than half of the aircraft's manufacturing costs are consumed on the engine modules, and other bombers and transport aircraft are ridiculously more expensive. For example, the engine of the Y-35 consumes 70% of the exaggerated manufacturing costs of the entire aircraft, because the engine is large and requires more N4 materials.
These aircraft are simply "krypton" with a layer of golden light, which is a full krypton gold aircraft. If you lose one, you will have to drip blood in your heart.
In order to form an aerospace force, the country allocated a total funding amount of 2.6 trillion yuan for the procurement of these three models of aerospace planes. The purchase order has long been completed, including 500 fighter jets, 120 bombers, and 300 transport aircraft. The rated installation must be completed within a shorter than three years and up to five years.
However, the country's military expenditure last year was 1.42 trillion yuan. Although military expenditure increased year by year, it could not withstand the gold-swalking beast "356 Plan".
what does that mean?
What else can I do?
The three armies of the sea, the army and the air force are ready to live a life of "eat dirt" in the next three to five years, and are ready to tighten their belts. The national strategy has decided to focus on the establishment of the new air and space force in the near future. The total expenditure is only that, and the increase will not be much. It is definitely necessary to make the three armies of the sea, the army and the air force give way to the newly born "son" Tianjun.
Therefore, it was originally expected that nine 058D large-wheel drives would be built, but the fourth one had just been built and the launching sea trial was carried out. The five of them were dismounted and the fifth one might not be built until ten years later. The Army originally wanted to purchase an additional 30 sets of nano-armed vehicles, but now it has failed.
In short, any planned projects originally planned by the three navy, army and air force will be cut off if possible, and the ones that cannot be cut off will be temporarily shelved. The money will be freed up to form the "Sky Army". Only in the Republic can do this to work hard.
If this matter is knocked down by the US military, it will definitely be a disaster on Capitol Hill. The three armies and soldiers of Hawkstone must be holding the thighs of Congress and shouting sadly that they can't live this life.
On the other side, the man wearing an aerospace combat uniform was obviously the test pilot of the J-35's first flight. Li Chuan recognized him at a glance. His name was Wu Zhen, and he was one of the three astronauts who had the first test flight of the "Yuntian-1" first flight.
When they arrived on the runway, two rear-mounted support personnel pushed the elevator to the cockpit of the fighter jet. Wu Zhen put on the aerospace helmet held in his hand, then climbed the elevator to enter the cockpit of the J-35 fighter jet, which is a single-seat cockpit.
Wu Zhen was once a fighter pilot and an elite pilot of the J-20. Later, he became an astronaut through layer-by-layer selection and competition. His military rank is the same as Li Qingzheng, and he belongs to the colonel. The next time he is promoted, he will be a major general, a real general.
Even so, as a senior officer, Wu Zhen still insisted on training every day. Shortly after the test flight of "Yuntian 1", he came here to test the J-35 fighter jet. There is no doubt that Wu Zhen's flight experience is definitely first-class.
After entering the cockpit, the cabin door slowly closed. Wu Zhen looked at the familiar layout, avionics instruments, driving rods, etc. in the cockpit in front of him, and couldn't help but recall when he was serving in the Air Force.
