Spark

In fact, Chen Nian really has the design drawing of the air-to-air missile in his hand, and this is not just talking about it.

After clarifying that the J-22 will be the key point to break the situation, his technology development plan has also been slightly adjusted, and some technologies that are too large and have a long cycle have been slightly moved back, and instead Increased the priority of technical equipment with short cycles and low source consumption.

The air-to-air missile is an extremely cost-effective and relatively important technical analysis point that he discovered recently.

Since the technical difficulty is mainly in the engine part, and the engine technology is strongly related to the material, so only 0.2 source points are needed to analyze the full set of technology of the PL-15 air-to-air missile!

With a range of more than 200 kilometers and a penetration speed of Mach 5, it is much more powerful than the AIM-120D.

The most important thing is that the technical development cycle of this thing is short. As long as the technical documents are provided, it is estimated that it will only take a month or two at most to complete the trial production.

According to what Jia Tong said, the PL-12 project is still in progress, so on the basis of PL-12, we can optimize it, use the existing equipment and personnel organization, and it is even possible, within a week or two , you can come up with the latest experimental models.

Even if the performance does not meet the design standard of PL-15 for the time being, it should still be much stronger than PL-12.

At least in terms of range, after using the simplified version of the pulse engine, there will be no problem increasing it to 120 kilometers.

As for the 200-kilometer Plus version, it can be gradually achieved through iterative optimization.

At that time, the J-22 will completely become the strongest fighter in the world.

Without the support of early warning aircraft, the maximum detection range of 500 kilometers, the attack range of 200 kilometers, the top speed of Mach 2.6, and the ceiling of 22,000 meters, just ask if you are afraid?

The F-22 achieved an astonishing battle damage ratio of 1:44 in the exercise. What if it was the J-22?

Chen Nian is confident that he can achieve a battle loss ratio of over 80.

Because this aircraft is not a simple replica of the F-22. After incorporating a large number of technologies beyond the times, it will complete a complete transformation.

If the digital array radar has eyes on the J-22 o'clock, then the PL-15 will equip it with fangs and claws.

And at that time, after the blue dragon ascends into the sky, it will easily tear apart all the invading enemies.

However, the most important thing now is to explain clearly to Gu Tong and his colleagues the status of the PL-15 technology in their hands.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian ignored the other party's puzzled and shocked expression, and said directly:

"In fact, I had the idea of ​​beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles when the J-22 project first started."

"My thoughts are the same as yours. A fighter plane that is far ahead of the times must be equipped with weapons that are ahead of the times."

"So, according to my own ideas, I designed a medium-range air-to-air missile with a range of about 200 kilometers, an active radar terminal guidance, and a flexible diaphragm dual-pulse engine design."

"Because our missiles are all called Thunderbolt series, so I chose a name on my own, called Thunderbolt-15..."

Hearing this, several people in the headquarters were all stunned.

Good guy, not only did you quietly get out the medium-range missile, but you even stole the name? !

The missiles in service are called PL-11, the missiles under development are called PL-12, and the missiles under technical preparation are called PL-13. You can directly use PL-15...

Four generations have passed!

Gu Tong couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, especially after thinking about what the so-called "range of 200 kilometers" means.

He couldn't wait to ask:

"How mature is your design...?"

Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"At that time, the design of the J-22 was mature, and the design of the PL-15 was mature."

In an instant, everyone present realized.

Oh, the work is done, and we'll build it.

Gu Tong clapped his hands suddenly, grabbed Chen Nian's shoulder and said:

"Chen Nian, hurry up, where is the data? Take me to see it quickly! If we make fast progress, maybe we can make some improvements to PL-12!"

He Hongwen on the side frowned and slapped Gu Tong's hand off, looking a little displeased, but Chen Nian looked indifferent.

It doesn't matter, it's all to be made anyway, let's make it early and enjoy it...

...

So, Chen Nian, who had just flown to the south for a few days, followed Gu Tongfei back to Luoyang.

The first thing he did was to complete an analysis of PL-12.

Since the PL-12 has basically been manufactured, and I have already analyzed the higher-level PL-15, the consumption of this analysis is as low as an exaggerated 0.01 point, which is now Chen Nian devotes himself to studying for an hour. income.

This kind of analysis is extremely cost-effective. Although it does not bring any new knowledge increment, it can help him quickly familiarize himself with the target item with extremely high efficiency, saving extra time for learning and understanding.

Therefore, when Gu Tong hurriedly arranged for a special person to introduce the basic situation of the PL-12 project and the basic design principles of this air-to-air missile to Chen Nian, he was surprised to find that Chen Nian had already begun to use PL-12 The latest development of -12, ready to do new technology fusion...

So how on earth do you do it?

Gu Tong really wanted to ask Chen Nian this question.

You said that you came up with PL-15, although you don't quite understand it, but it is still your own original design, which is barely acceptable.

But PL-12?

This is a project I made with my own hands!

Starting from 0 and accumulating to the present, I don’t know how many difficulties I have gone through and how many obstacles I have broken through.

Every technological advancement will make everyone in the project team rejoice.

But now, you just glanced at the missile, and immediately reported many technical details, and even made suggestions to optimize it with the technology that comes with your own PL-15...

That feeling, as if Chen Nian was the chief designer and he was just a temporary wage earner.

There's nothing wrong with keeping secrets...

For two whole weeks, Gu Tong was immersed in such self-doubt, especially when he saw that Chen Nian once again used the "integrated telephone method" when he built the digital array radar at 14, he was shocked. And reverence reached its peak.

Where have you seen such a work?

Can this still be considered research and development?

It's just copying homework.

Or teach you how to copy your homework.

It can be said that the following R\u0026D personnel hardly need to move their brains, as long as they follow Chen Nian's direction and follow his train of thought to execute.

They made more technological breakthroughs in one day than in a month.

There are so many resources that have been piled up to the extreme that they are not enough. The factor that restricts the birth time of PL-15 is not the speed of technology research and development, but the production speed of the parts factory...

In such a weird and efficient atmosphere, the completion of PL-15 reached 60% in a very short period of time, and the PL-12 project has completed its transformation.

The PL-12, which was about to be finalized, has made several major technical optimizations, including but not limited to engines, guidance radars, projectile design, and solid fuel.

Under such optimization, the original range was only 70 kilometers PL-12, after the final test, the range actually reached 130 kilometers.

Moreover, the target shooting performance of the computer test has reached an astonishing 10 out of 10.

Even if it cannot be called "epoch-making", it is definitely a missile that can "keep up with the times".

Even in the face of the most advanced AIM-120C in the United States at this time, it will never fall behind.

With this missile, the J-22, which has already been listed, can undertake more and more "rich" tasks in the next exercise...
