Chapter 753 PAK-TA

The Federal Republic of China ranks relatively low among the nuclear powers because they lack an important link in the triad of strike capabilities.

The so-called trinity refers to: strategic nuclear submarines, strategic bombers and ICBMs. The most important thing is strategic nuclear submarines, and they are also the most expensive, because the construction and maintenance of nuclear-powered engines are expensive. But this is the most deterrent breed.

Because nuclear submarines can remain combat-ready at any time, and strategic bombers and ground-based ballistic missiles are more likely to be monitored by enemy countries and destroyed in advance.

Among them, strategic bombers are more important than land-based ballistic missiles because they can carry a relatively large number of nuclear warheads and are more powerful. The missing link of the Chinese Federation is the strategic bomber.

It is not a good thing that too many ICBMs are manufactured, but strategic bombers can also participate in conventional warfare, so strategic bombers are also a better choice from the point of view of saving money and using them.

The requirements for aero engines for strategic bombers are supreme, so only the United States and the Soviet Union can develop them in the world. The pinnacle of the United States is the B-2 bomber, which emphasizes stealth performance and is extremely expensive, with a large cost of more than $20 billion, and the American tyrant air force is not equipped much.

In the Soviet Union, the Tu-160, known as the "White Swan", was beautiful and deadly, capable of supersonic cruises. The performance is similar to the previous generation of B-1s in the US military, but the Soviets are not economical and have less than 40 in service, while the US imperialists have more than 100 B-1s.

Isn't the Federal Republic of China a copycat power? Greatly, Li Xiantai is ready to develop a Soviet-style strategic bomber with unnatural performance for the Sapphire Aircraft Manufacturing Company, completely copying the PAK-TA of the Soviet Union, which is still in the conceptual design stage.

PAK-TA, this monster, can carry 200 tons of cargo for supersonic cruising (2000 km / h), has a range of more than 7000 km.

The Soviets are preparing to use this product to build the world's first "intercontinental army", which can send an entire ground force to any battlefield in the world within 7 hours, and the opponent is the world's top 10 level.

For example, a PAK-TA fleet can deliver 400 armed Amata tanks (the newest main tank of the Soviet army) to the battlefield at a time.

This shows the versatility of strategic bombers. During the disaster, you can also airdrop a large amount of materials to the disaster area at one time.

The Sapphire Aircraft Manufacturing Company can fool the Chinese Federation, and if it goes to war with the Great Qing State in the future, it can use strategic bombers to carry 900 paratrooper combat vehicles, and it can occupy a certain military region of the Great Qing State in one delivery, and the army of the Great Qing State will not even have time to react.

The Chinese Federation is not bad for money, but it does not have such a strong engine technology, and now, Sapphire has the world's leading purple flame engine as a backing, which has greatly improved its persuasiveness.

The Soviets were really getting poorer and poorer, and Mrs. Li Xiantai had just gone to inquire about the news, but it turned out that the Ilyushin Design Bureau was actually willing to sell the design plan and charge only $100 million for the design.

The other party's overall plan must be left alone, however, Li Xiantai only designed the shape and structure of AK-TA, and after a simple process, Sapphire signed an agreement and officially launched the PAK-TA project.

From the perspective of the design of an aircraft, the design can only be regarded as 30% complete, which is enough, the Soviet Union's avionics are very backward, and Li Xiantai is not happy to design too much.

The Soviets themselves couldn't handle the three terrifying engines, they didn't believe that Sapphire could handle it, especially since Beihai Aviation Development was still a private enterprise, and they had never heard of their achievements in large-scale aviation development.

After the dust settled, Li Xiantai began to launch his fully information-based production system, integrating the power of aviation science and technology talents around the world, anyone with a certain degree of relevant professional knowledge can become part of the production system, can be assigned to very specific tasks, once a certain number is completed, can be upgraded to a higher level of higher hourly work with experience points.

This is true for all the tests from the design calculations.

First, the overall design is done, then the technical verification machine is made for 1 ton, and then the volume is increased to 10 tons, and finally the shape is formed.

Li Xiantai has accumulated a large amount of information on aviation engineers, and whenever he needs to work part-time, he sends them invitations, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of engineers around the world, although many engineers do not know that they are involved in the strategic bomber project of the Chinese Federation.

The engine is the most difficult thing to maintain in aircraft operation, and in order to ensure the uptime of this cargo, Li Xiantai designed an engine system for PAK-TA that can be disassembled without damage. The power system assembly is put into a module, and after a period of high-intensity flight, the power module is replaced for maintenance, and the aircraft can continue to work.

This design makes the maintenance of the aircraft as simple as the container being unloaded at the terminal. The dismantled power system here is being maintained with a hum, and the plane over there has already soared into the blue sky again.

The engines are always in top condition, not to mention that the PAK-TA also has 3 engines, each with an avionics system that can operate independently, making it almost impossible for a catastrophic failure.

The maintenance of the dismantled engine is convenient, and the fully automated inspection and maintenance is carried out in the well-equipped repair workshop, which is a subversive idea for aircraft use.

Such ideas are not uncommon, and Li Xiantai also designed a general mode of cargo passenger bombing. Mounted container kits, vehicle mounts, chariot mounts, etc., are super cargo planes; Mountable seat kits, sleeper kits, is super passenger aircraft; Mounted bomb delivery kit, that is, bomber; Mounted missile launchers are ground attack aircraft, strategic bombers.

This kind of kit, whatever the military needs to do with PAK-TA, can be customized and developed.

The operating costs of most military transport aircraft strategic transport aircraft remain high, and PAK-TA solves it, which may be the first strategic transport aircraft with lower transportation costs than ordinary transport aircraft, because of its large belly.

Because of the low cost of transportation, this can be called a state-of-the-art strategic transport aircraft that can be used on a daily basis without stress.

Because the high-energy physics experimental base wants to build a ring collider, it just so happens that the PAK-TA aircraft factory is also built into a ring, which is an assembly line, and what goes in is the production of raw materials, and when you turn around in the arc, what comes out is a large aircraft.

The ring building is an underground collider system, and the superconducting line can provide abundant power to the above-ground building.

The power supply is a monocrystalline silicon solar array designed by Li Xiantai himself, and the biggest feature is the use of a reflector array, which increases the light energy emitted to the monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panels by ten times, and reduces the cost of monocrystalline silicon power generation by several times.

Obviously, this is the inspiration from the energy system of the aircraft carrier "Infinity".

The name PAK-TA is so strange that netizens believe that it is an aircraft that replaces the previous generation of White Swan strategic bombers, calling it a "fat swan" because it is a plump white swan.
