Chapter 302: The Dragon's Tragedy and Modern Aerial Combat

The fourth day after returning to Factory 919

During the break, Zhou Rui was brushing data in the lounge.

"System Task [Basic Electrical Engineering], Experience Value +2, Current Progress (78/100)"

This Rongfei has really made everything.

It has even made worthless things like washing machines, motorcycles, and even jacks.

It's not that Rongfei has grown from a scum factory to a military enterprise.

On the contrary, Rongfei was intended to build aircraft, but it had a period of decline in the middle.

In the 1980s, when the country was just opening up, old military enterprises like Rongfei had to face the loss of talents caused by the previous years of turmoil, and the shift of the country's focus to the economic field. The military industry had no orders and no funds, and entered a state of survival of the fittest.

You can't say that people at that time were stupid, you can only say that each era has its own tasks.

It is said that for several years, there was no production task, and a large number of scientists, engineers, and senior technicians could not even eat enough.

In order to support a large family, Rongfei had to find a way out and began to "transfer from military to civilian" to survive. Fighter designers began to design washing machines, and aviation engineers began to tinker with motorcycles, just to ensure that the staff canteen could have food for everyone.

Salary? That is already a higher level of demand.

Wen Hongqi is a person who survived that era, and he still feels quite emotional when he occasionally talks about it.

But now it is different. If the main theme of the last era was "development", then the main theme of this era should be "revitalization".

By chance, Zhou Rui participated in it from a special perspective.

Let's do it!

Qu Tao suddenly pushed open the door of the lounge and said excitedly: "Zhou Rui! Come out! The guys are here!!"

Zhou Rui put down the information: "The sprayer is here?"

"Awesome!"

Zhou Rui and Qu Tao went to the work area together and saw two trucks driving in with a cylinder covered with canvas tied on them.

That is the heart of the fighter.

Engine.

This was not the job of their work group. They did not understand such delicate things and were not suitable to help. They just stretched their necks and looked around like the old man at the entrance of the village.

This thing was much bigger than expected, with a total length of nearly five meters, and it was full of various interfaces and lines. A liberal arts student would faint at a glance.

Yu Shu came late and said, "This thing looks super complicated."

Qu Tao said, "What model is this AL?"

Chai Lianjun, a military fan among the few people, shook his head and said, "AL-31, the Russians' goods, but even in their own country, it is not advanced. It can only be said to be a last resort."

Recalling this fact, several people couldn't help but sigh.

The J-20 has top-notch design, top-notch aerodynamic shape, and top-notch radar system.

It is because of the latecomer advantage that it can stand on the shoulders of the times, and it is also because of the joint efforts of everyone present.

Now there is also the "four-elephant structure" this almost sci-fi metamaterial technology, which has made great progress in stealth performance, and the theoretical data can leave F22 half a street behind.

But this engine is indeed the biggest shortcoming of the J-20 wooden barrel principle. There is no mature product in the company, and only inferior goods can be purchased from outside.

The Russians have second-class goods, and compared with the bald eagle, they can only be called third-class goods.

It is the worst item in the J-20 body components at present, which is equivalent to equipping Bugatti Veyron with Volkswagen engine.

A typical "Lu Bu riding a dog".

Wen Hongqi appeared at some point and comforted: "That can't be calculated like this. Even if the cruising speed is lower and the climb is worse, our stealth performance is not bad, and radar technology is also our advantage. We still have a big chance of winning on the battlefield."

"We will lock on from 800 miles away. No matter how fast the plane is and how agile it is, can it be faster than a missile? More agile than a missile? No matter what kind of maneuverability and climb you have, I think it's better to upgrade the air-to-air missile, that's simple."

Modern air combat is fought beyond visual range and super perception. Whoever fights will hit the soul with one shot. It depends on who can lock on first and who can't be locked on.

No matter how fast a fighter is, it will be dead at around Mach 2. If an air-to-air missile starts at Mach 4 and cannot be locked, how can you maneuver it?

You maneuvered the first one, will you be excited about the second one? How much does a missile cost?

"Especially after the replacement of the four-elephant structure skin, a lot of weight has been saved, and the power has been improved compared to the original plan."

Chai Lianjun curled his lips: "That's what I said, but it's a pity after all."

They provided the J-20 with a skin plan that was ahead of its time. They have been busy for so long, and like the engineers here, they all regard it as their own work and child.

After all, they hope that their "children" can reach the top level in all aspects.

However, at this stage, there is really no way, which is completely beyond their field.

Watching the people in the engine group unload the two AL-31 engines from the suspension, pre-installed them at the rear of the prototype, the next step is long-term work. This work takes about 20 days, and it is not a plug-and-play USB.

Most people dispersed to do their own things. Now the work area is very lively. Nearly a hundred people are around the prototype, and there are thousands of people outside to support it. Even the canteen has obviously more meat dishes in the past two days.

Zhou Rui put on a helmet and walked into the work area. He did not go to the skin group, but went around to the engine group behind the prototype.

He is now a celebrity in the 03 plant. Everyone knows that there is a scientist who gets along well with engineers and screws fast and well, with skills no less than mature engineers.

"Xiao Zhou, what do you need?"

An older engineer was checking whether the engine was damaged during transportation and looked up at Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui looked up and down at the big guy and said, "Can I touch it?"

The engineer nodded his helmet and smiled, "Touch it, touch it casually, it's free, and when the skinning team comes up, there will be plenty of time for you to touch it."

Zhou Rui nodded and covered the tail jet of the AL-31 produced by Saturn.

He was naturally for "physical touch".

During this period of time, with a 10% judgment probability, Zhou Rui has already touched the framework of the prototype thoroughly, and can be said to be familiar with various physical parameters.

Among the hundreds of physical parameters, most are useless, and there are even nonsense such as "speed is 000001927".

But those useful ones made him more comfortable and more precise when designing drawings and practicing.

This is also one of the reasons for his rapid improvement in "craftsmanship".

On about the 12th day, he stopped touching the prototype, but touched other materials or single parts from time to time. Anyway, the opportunity once a day would not be wasted.

A new toy came today, of course I have to touch it first!

"Physical touch judgment"

A series of system messages popped up, Zhou Rui was used to it. One physical touch is not very meaningful, and it takes more times.

This man, just touching is actually meaningless.

You have to touch it until it is transparent.

Back to the skin group, Chai Lianjun asked curiously: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Rui shook his head and said: "No explanation, just for the sake of novelty."

Even he did not have the idea of ​​incorporating aircraft engines into his future plans. The span is too large and there is no accumulation.

Zhou Rui couldn't help but think that he has been working hard and focusing recently

[Chosen One]: The harder you work, the more focused you are, the luckier you are.

Is it possible that the next revelation from heaven will be born in Factory 919?
