Chapter 81, Aerospace Fighter
Time is always short in busy times. The "Shenjian" fighter project team has gathered the country's high-end scientific and technological level. With the country's strong support, it has given everything it wants. In addition, many major issues have been overcome, and the core plasma engine has been developed. The remaining problems were soon solved one by one by the powerful scientific research team.
On September 25, 2018, the sky was clear and the sky was blue. At a secret military airport in Tianfu, the entire "Shenjian" warship scientific research team was all present. At this time, they looked at the silver fighter with a strong sci-fi color on the airport.
The appearance of this "Shenjian" fighter looks like an enlarged version of a manta ray, about 18 meters long, with a wingspan of about 20 meters and a height of about 5 meters. It is silver-gray and full of streamlines. It stands quietly at the airport, and it really looks like a manta ray from the deep sea.
This "Shenjian" fighter is equipped with two atomic batteries developed by the latest technology. Traditional batteries only use chemical energy and chemical bonds to store electrical energy, while this battery uses physical methods to store energy.
We all know that the nucleus has multiple electrons, but the energy of electrons in different orbits is different. The closer to the core, the greater the energy. This atomic magnetic field sealed electron leap energy storage battery, referred to as an atomic battery, uses a magnetic field to drive electrons outside the atom and compress all low-orbit electrons into the core area of the atom.
Such a battery costs more than 1 billion Chinese yuan, and its appearance is a behemoth weighing nearly 4,000 kilograms with a length, width and height of 4 meters × 2 meters × 1 meter. But such a battery can carry 1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity! Extremely powerful, only such a battery can bring such an electric monster. Two such batteries are installed on the "Shenjian" aircraft, carrying 2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
The entire fighter is made of new materials, with an empty weight of 15 tons, a maximum takeoff safety weight of 50 tons, and a maximum weight design of more than 70 tons, which is comparable to the world's most advanced B52 bomber. You must know that this is a fighter, not a bomber, which shows how powerful the plasma engine it is installed with is.
The two plasma engines on the left and right can provide 80 tons of thrust, which is almost dozens of times that of traditional fuel jet engines. And this is still because of the initial production, and all aspects have not been finely crafted, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future. But even if it is fully promoted, theoretically it can break the sound barrier in three seconds, break five times the speed of sound in 10 seconds, and break 10 times the speed of sound in 20 seconds! It's just that this acceleration is extremely terrifying. It breaks the sound barrier in three seconds, and the acceleration exceeds 150, fifteen times the gravity of the earth!
The "Shenjian" fighter has not yet designed a related weapon system, because scientists have found that the traditional mounted weapon system can't be applied to this new fighter. You must know that the flight speed of the fighter can easily break through ten times the speed of sound, and even missiles can't catch up. Those ordinary mounted weapons have no effect at all.
Its weapon system must be redesigned, and a weapon that can match it must be designed. Otherwise, it would be completely meaningless to use such an advanced fighter like an ordinary fighter. Scientists have already had some ideas and are ready to move a rail gun weapon system that only a few countries in the world have mastered to the "Shenjian" fighter.
On the entire huge airport, only this fighter was quietly parked. For safety reasons, even the surrounding area of hundreds of kilometers was under no-fly control. The cost of this fighter is really too expensive, and no mistakes are allowed.
All structures, including parts, are almost all made of new materials. Just the cost made the leaders who signed couldn't help but stare wide-eyed and signed with gritted teeth!
A battery costs 1 billion, and this is just the cost, not counting other things. The cost of two plasma engines is more than 8 billion yuan each, and the total cost of the two is more than 16 billion yuan. In addition, the outer shell of the aircraft and many internal parts are made of new materials. The content of rare metals alone exceeds 1 ton. The overall cost is roughly estimated to be more than 30 billion!
This does not include the loss during the processing process, the cost-free efforts of many military units, and the hard work of a large scientific research team. The cost of this fighter exceeds the same weight of gold.
At this time, at the command and control center of the airport, important leaders of the country personally came to watch the test flight of the "Shenjian" fighter. A huge display in the middle shows this world map, and countless scientific researchers are wearing white coats and staring at computers.
"Tracking radar No. 1 is ready!"
"Tracking radar No. 2 is ready!"
"..."
"Tracking satellite No. 1 is ready!"
"Tracking satellite No. 2 is ready!"
"..."
"Ship tracking Yuanyang No. 1 is ready!"
"Ship tracking Yuanyang No. 2 is ready!"
"..."
The scene was comparable to the country's first manned spacecraft launch. Many elite scientists from aerospace units were even mobilized to come. Radars on the ground, satellites in space, ships in the ocean, etc. were all ready at this time.
Liu Shiying looked very excited. At this time, he was looking at the tense and busy preparations in the command center. As the test flight got closer and closer, he held his hands tightly. Li Fu on the side even vaguely saw his palms. The sweat on the middle, back, and forehead is not because there are too many people in the command center, nor is it because the weather in Tianfu is sweltering now, but because of nervousness.
Li Fu knew very well that Liu Shiying was under tremendous pressure. The funds, manpower, material resources, etc. invested by the entire project team were already somewhat difficult to estimate. In terms of funds alone, they had applied for more than 50 billion Chinese dollars from the country. , coupled with other various costs and so on, cannot even be calculated.
In the current test flight, important leaders of the country even visited the site in person, and even used satellites in space, radars on the ground, ocean tracking ships, etc. The country attaches great importance to it.
The tangible and intangible pressures made Liu Shiying nervous. As the core and main person in charge of the "Arrow" fighter research team, one can imagine the tremendous pressure he was under at this time.
"Old Liu, please relax. The wind tunnel test data is very perfect. We should be full of confidence."
Li Fu smiled at Liu Shiying and said.
"call!"
Liu Shiying took a deep breath, smiled at Li Fu, and said nothing. He felt that the air at this time was frozen, and even breathing was difficult. He didn't want to say anything to Li Fu at all, because of the huge Under pressure, every minute and every second at this time passed extremely slowly.
Li Fu on the side looked very relaxed and confident. Almost all the wind tunnel test data were more than ten times that of the strongest fighter currently in service.
You must know that in the field of fighter jets, the overall gap is ten times, and they can no longer be said to be products of the same level. If there are some differences in the data, everyone would say that this is a new generation of fighter jets, a sixth-generation fighter technology that all countries in the world are currently working on.
However, it is more than ten times larger than the whole. Even the seventh-generation technology cannot describe this. The "Arrow" fighter is no longer a fighter in the conventional sense. According to computer simulations, as long as enough compressed air is added, the fighter can fly in space. It can take off directly from the ground, fly directly out of the atmosphere, and fly into space. , and then return safely.
"The first generation air and space fighter!"
This is the definition of the "Arrow" fighter plane by scientists. An air-to-space fighter plane can go from the ground to space and from space to the ground. It is more powerful and terrifying than the Yingjiang family's space shuttle. The Yingjiang family's space shuttle To enter space, you still need to use a high-thrust rocket to push it up, but aerospace fighters do not need it at all and can directly take off from the ground and enter space.
This is one of the reasons why the country attaches great importance to it this time, because this is not only related to the country’s major events in the aviation field, but also related to the country’s major events in the aerospace field. Space vehicles that can freely travel to and from space are important for promoting The development of the national space industry has immeasurable far-reaching significance.
Nowadays, many advanced countries in the world have imposed a technological blockade on China. Many high-tech technologies can be easily obtained, but China cannot. In the field of space, they have completely isolated China. The space project will not take China with us.
Therefore, China has always insisted on independence in the space field. All technologies are explored step by step by ourselves. No one in the world will guide you, and no one will cooperate with China in this regard. With Yingjiang The country headed by the leader wants to completely block us with this.
Therefore, the emergence of the "Arrow" fighter jet, an aircraft that can freely travel between space and the ground, is of great significance to our country. As a result, both the aviation and aerospace fields will achieve rapid development, just like inserting With soaring wings, it can completely ignore any blockades from European and American countries in the future. In these two aspects, one country is enough to compete with all forces.
Such an important thing cannot be overemphasized. At this time, everyone here in the command center is waiting quietly for the test flight of the fighter plane, just like the launch of satellites and spaceships, one by one. They were all very nervous, and at the same time, everyone was praying silently in their hearts.
The fully rejuvenated China really needs such a national artifact!
