Chapter 611: A Radius of Two Thousand Kilometers

readx; In addition to the harsh requirements on speed and range and cruising speed, the Air Force requires a new generation of fighter jets equipped with an airborne communication system is also a troublesome matter, although the current radio technology has made great progress, the small radio produced by China Fule Electric Company has been equipped with the B4 bomber, but that is said to be a small radio, but it is still very large, otherwise it will not be installed only on the B4 bomber. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info And to equip a light and agile fighter with a radio, it is not ordinary.

The technical standards of the Chinese Air Force for the next generation of fighters after the F2 fighter are more than today's technology, but why does the Chinese Air Force still put forward such technical standards, because the Chinese Air Force did not think of equipping this aircraft in the twenties, and the main fighter of the Chinese Air Force in the twenties will still be the F2 fighter, and the next generation of aircraft in the development is ready to replace the F2 fighter after the thirties, directly tinkering with the F2 fighter and changing it and using it directly.

When the design and development of aircraft by the air forces of various countries was still hovering at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, the Chinese Air Force had already aimed at the speed of fighter jets at more than 350 kilometers.

Qin Guoyong continued: "In order to meet the design requirements of the Air Force, our company boldly adopted a large number of advanced technologies in its design, including an airborne small communication system, a fully enclosed sliding glass cockpit and an air-cooled engine with more than 600 horsepower!" But when it came to this, Qin Guoyong smiled bitterly and said: "Due to the high design indicators, these subsystems are not something that I can do by Chuzhou Aircraft Company, this communication system is a project of Fule Company, although their research and development is also smooth, but it will take a few years to come up with test products." According to them, under the premise of limiting the weight of the engine, it is already very difficult to come up with a 500-horsepower engine, and if you want 600 horsepower, I am afraid it is very difficult! ”

Chen Jingyun looked at the model aircraft in front of him, although it was not good-looking, he also knew that this was just a concept machine, a concept aircraft that had not even completed the research and development of subsystems, although the finished product could not be seen in a short time, but the research and development spirit of the Air Force and Chuzhou Aircraft Company was worthy of affirmation.

"Your path is correct, the development of aviation technology will not stop waiting for us, now what we have to do is to start research in advance, stupid birds fly first, China's various industrial bases such as Britain, France, the United States and other countries, but we spend more power than them a few years in advance, and we can always develop things!" Chen Jingyun said this, many things are not said to be very difficult, and some things are known to be very difficult, but they have to grit their teeth and go up.

Not only aviation technology is the case, but other new technology research and development are similar, such as the research of hybrid rice, which is related to the problem of feeding the whole country, everyone knows that it is difficult to spend decades of time, but the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry still invests a lot of money in research every year. For example, the research and development of new alloy materials, which are related to the research and development of basic materials of the entire industrial base, are more difficult, but the research and development companies of Jiangyu Mining and Southeast Iron and Steel still invest heavily in research and development every year, in order not to lag behind others, these things can be said to be because of the huge cost, it is very difficult to study them? Definitely not.

Another example is nuclear physics research, Chen Jinghao began to take money from Huaxia Bank many years ago to set up a nuclear physics research laboratory to conduct theoretical research on nuclear physics, how many years have passed, and the money invested is not 10 million but also seven or eight million, but now in addition to some theories, Chen Jingyun has not even made a duck egg for Chen Jingyun, Chen Jingyun pondered that it will be many years after this group of people have perfected the theory of nuclear bombs, as for when they can get a nuclear bomb, to be honest, Chen Jingyun himself has no bottom in his heart, He didn't know how much money he would have to invest to get the bomb out. Anyway, now it is spending money year by year, especially the cost of building new laboratories and purchasing various test equipment, even Chen Jingyun, a big financier, is feeling struggling, even if he has money personally, it is estimated that he can only support the theoretical research in the early stage, and when the research and development of nuclear bombs is carried out in a few years and the actual test stage, Chen Jingyun is ready to let the country take over, after all, the expenses required at that time are beyond his personal support, although he is the major shareholder of Huaxia Bank, However, we should not continue to embezzle large amounts of cash and invest them in nuclear physics research without restraint.

But if the research on nuclear bombs is so difficult and the resources required are astronomical, can we stop researching? Definitely not, from the day the Institute of Physics was established, Chen Jingyun made up his mind, so hungry to get a nuclear bomb, as long as the nuclear bomb is researched, in order to make China invincible in the future world situation.

So some things are not just measured by the cost of money, because it's not a question of how much it costs, it's a question of how much you have to buy no matter how much money you have.

Although the research on new fighter jets is not as important as the research on nuclear bombs and hybrid rice, which are the cornerstones of the country, it is also an important project related to national security.

After looking at the concept of this next-generation aircraft, Chen Jingyun watched the flight show of the B4 bomber, which is also produced by Chuzhou Aircraft.

Like the F2 fighter, the B4 bomber is also made of all-metal, using a large number of aluminum alloys and lightweight steel tubes, which greatly improves the flight surname and also makes its cost rise sharply.

In recent years, the price of airplanes has been getting higher and higher, and when China first equipped an airplane, it was only three or four thousand yuan for an airplane, and now it is all tens of thousands or even tens of thousands.

Fortunately a few years ago, the last improved version of the B3 bomber was sold at a factory price of 16,000 yuan in 1921, and the F1 fighter, which had also been discontinued, was sold at a factory price of 9,000 yuan in 1919.

After the production of these two types of aircraft was discontinued, the price of the B4 bomber as a replacement model directly climbed to 36,000 yuan, and the F2 fighter was not cheap, and the factory unit price of the latest model of the Air Force version was 18,000 yuan, and the Navy version was even higher, almost 20,000 yuan. The reason why the price is so high is mainly because these two aircraft are made of all-metal, and the aluminum alloy in this year is a serious high-tech, just like the stealth composite materials used in fighters in later generations, the price is very expensive. Moreover, the reason why the unit price of these two aircraft is so high now is largely due to the fact that the production volume of these two aircraft is still relatively small, and Chuzhou Aircraft Company and other subsystem companies are thinking of recovering the R & D costs by relying on these orders in the early stage, after all, no one knows whether the Air Force and the Navy will continue to order F2 fighters in the future, so the R & D cost is spread to a small number of orders, resulting in a relatively high unit price.

This high price does not actually represent their cost, if it is a war time, only need to consider the cost of mass production, the cost will be quickly reduced, and it is not impossible for the price to be directly reduced by half.

Since the end of the war, the domestic call for reducing military spending has become louder and louder day by day, so although China's economic situation in the past two years has initially shaken off the impact of the post-war economic crisis and has begun to gradually increase, military spending has not increased much, on the contrary, the proportion of military spending is relatively low, 27 percent last year, and the total military expenditure of the three armed services is 553 million yuan. In this year's budget, however, the Government Council is still firmly restricting the rise in military spending, and the proportion of military spending this year has fallen instead of rising, and the total military expenditure of the three armed services accounts for only 26 percent of the fiscal expenditure budget, a new record low; although it has benefited from this year's fiscal revenue budget of 2.3 billion yuan, and the total military expenditure has increased by 40 million yuan over last year to 590 million, this proportion is getting lower and lower, and it is estimated that this military expenditure will have to be further reduced, and depending on the meaning of a large number of officials and economists on the political axe, this military expenditure is estimated to have to be further reducedSo even though China's economy is growing, the growth rate of military spending has not kept up with the pace of China's economic development.

In short, since the end of the war, China's three armed forces, whether they are navy, army, or air force, have not had a good time.

This overall military expenditure is not much, so the military expenditure allocated to the air force is naturally impossible to go there, and because the air force is a technical branch of logistics, a large part of the military expenditure is spent on the maintenance of aircraft in service and the training and training of pilots, in addition to a large number of funds have to be allocated every year to support the research and development of various projects, so the funds that can be freed up to purchase new aircraft are really not much.

Otherwise, the Air Force would have been fully replaced with F2 fighters and B4 bombers, and it would have been necessary to wait until now.

Watching this huge twin-engine bomber take off into the air, Chen Jingyun remembered the scene of the bombing of thousands of planes in the future, and although this B4 bomber is advanced enough, the bomb load and range are still too small, and the bomb load is okay, there are 1,500 kilograms, but the range is too close, only 1,500 kilometers of range, and this is still the maximum range under the condition of light planting, if you want to be fully loaded with ammunition, the actual combat radius is about 500 to 600 kilometers, Although the B4 bomber is advanced enough for today's aviation industry, it is far from enough for Chen Jingyun, and China must have a larger, higher, and farther bomber, otherwise it will be used to carry out strategic bombing in the future.

"This aircraft is very good, with the current technology to achieve this kind of twin-engine aircraft, it can be seen that you have put your heart and effort into it!" Chen Jingyun said this, but his words changed: "However, this is far from enough for us, we must also have bombers that fly higher, have a larger bomb load, and fly farther!" ”

After Chen Jingyun said this, Qin Guoyong next to him was also a little surprised, he is a professional in the aviation industry, and the B4 bomber under his command is his pride, and as far as he knows, China's B4 bomber is already at the absolute advanced level in the world, and other countries do not have such advanced bombers, but Chen Jingyun is still not enough, so he was silent and said after the meeting: "Chairman, it is okay to continue to improve the bomb load, but this range, I don't know what the chairman hopes for?" ”

After hearing this, Chen Jingyun secretly calculated in his heart and said a number: "The combat radius must reach at least 2,000 kilometers!" ”
