"...... protecting the planet?"

It seemed to be an inexplicable sentence, and Liu Wei was a little confused when he heard it.

Didn't they have been struggling with the combat power of fighter planes just now, how did this affect the environment?

Liu Wei's train of thought still hasn't kept up with it - after a long time, he actually chose a plane based on fuel consumption, isn't this the same as buying a car: I didn't expect Long Yun to be quite calculating, so he had to nod to the captain blankly.

Ahem, to put it bluntly, since I have been entangled for so long, these two models are originally about the same - the same AL-31/WS-10, the same JL-10A radar, and the same missile weapon configuration, who to choose is not all the same! "Chenlong" bought fighters to fight for competitions, not to really fight, and it doesn't matter what the fuel load or sustained combat effectiveness is, so it's really just as Long Yun said.

"--Okay, Brother Long! Let's also take a low carbon, and we will be a 'Raptor'! ”

……

The choice of fighter planes that troubled the two ended quickly under the guidance of the principle of protecting the earth and saving money.

The decision had been made, and without further ado, Long Yun and Liu Wei immediately went out to drive and went straight to the aircraft trading and exhibition center not far away. Purchasing fighter planes is not as simple as buying clothes and pants, just click the mouse on the Internet; If you don't go to the site for a detailed inspection, I'm afraid it will be difficult to choose the specific model configuration you need.

Driving on the asphalt road in the training base, seeing the huge aircraft trading and exhibition center hall from a distance, Long Yun recalled that they had come once when they were preparing to build the "Chenlong", and at that time they were just drooling at the fighter planes displayed inside; Now that he really wants to buy fighters, his mood is of course very different.

After more than a month, he walked into the magnificent exhibition hall for the second time, and there were really many people who came in and out to visit and do business. Thinking that there are now more than 30 large and small aviation competition teams in the Beijing area alone, and that there are more than 100 J-10 series fighter planes -- the number of this model alone is even more than the number of the two fighter pilots used to defend Gyeonggi in the early years, and one can imagine how many fighter planes will be in the whole of Beijing now.

Different from the last time when no one took care of the situation and could only feast their eyes, the reception staff who found the exhibition center explained the purchase intention, and Long Yun and they got the detailed introduction materials, accompanied by the salesman, to the booth of Chengdu Aviation Industry Company.

Chengdu Aviation Industry Co., Ltd., as the most important aircraft supplier in China, has a surprisingly large booth area; On the side of the exhibition hall adjacent to the runway outside the hall, Long Yun and the others once again saw the brand-new J-10 fighters parked for display in batches.

Quietly dormant at the front of the queue of several fighters, is a dark gray standard J-10B fighter aircraft, single-engine single-seat, using advanced DSI (Diverterless-Supersonic-Inlet, no surface layer partition supersonic air intake) air intake design, the tail of the cut vertical tail is particularly tall. As a static display, there are many models of model missiles mounted under the wings of the J-10B, which shows that it has the ability to mount a variety of air-to-air weapons: whether it is the domestic PL-8C and PL-12, or the Soviet Russia's R-73 and R-77.

"This is the J-10 B 'Raptor', and now the most purchased by each team is this one, although the price is a little higher, but the performance is more comprehensive."

Hearing the introduction of the entourage, Long Yun compared the J-10B in his memory and quickly made an assessment of the model of the fighter in front of him. That's right, this is the J-10B equipped with AESA (Active-Electronically-Scanned-Array) radar, equipped with an improved WS-10C engine and a new generation of helmet-mounted sights: due to the use of some advanced results researched for the fourth generation of fighters, the J-10B's comprehensive combat capability is not a little bit stronger than the J-10A, and it is this model purchased by the "Wangjing" and other teams before.

Of course, the powerful performance corresponds to the high price, and the price of the J-10B single machine has reached an unacceptable 1.8 billion yuan, which is similar to Shen Fei's J-11B. For "Chenlong", two fighters with a total price of 360 million yuan were completely unbearable, so Long Yun wasted no time in asking about the J-10A at the back of the queue, and the escort took them to the third silver-gray fighter very happily.

"This is the J-10 A, the appearance is not much different from the J-10B, but the configuration is slightly lower, and it is quite excellent in terms of cost performance."

"Okay, we'd like to take a closer look, - can we borrow the stairway?"

Now that he saw today's main intended model, Long Yun first circled around the body of the J-10A, and deduced from the tail nozzle that this should be the mid-term model of the J-10A with WS-10C installed, that is, the mainstream model that is still in production.

Boarding the boarding ladder pushed by the salesman, Long Yun easily drilled into the cab of the J-10A to take a closer look - oh, sure enough, it was almost exactly the same as the interface of the simulator, and the layout inside was not too unfamiliar to him. With the permission of the salesman, Long Yun opened the main electric door of the fighter, and the three color multi-function displays in front of him quickly showed clear images, and then entered the display demonstration of simulated flight. Looking around, there are not many messy instruments and buttons around the driver's seat, which looks quite refreshing, which is in stark contrast to the cockpit of the old seventh master, but it is very in line with Long Yun's mind.

I remember that the manual introduced that the engine of the J-10A can be used ordinary WS-10C or AL-31F, and the afterburner thrust is about 13.2 tons or 12.5 tons. The J-10A, which has decent radar and fire control equipment, although its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the J-10B, the price is a little more approachable, and now it can be towed away for 133000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

With a first-hand perception of the situation in the cockpit, Long Yun climbed down the boarding ladder, and let Liu Wei also sit in to have a look, while talking to the salesman:

"Let me ask a question to confirm, the current J-10A can launch active radar-guided missiles, such as PL-12?"

"Of course, the J-10 full range of fighters can now launch PL-12. However, it should be noted that the current batch of J-10A can only use PL-12 as an over-the-horizon weapon - oh, of course, you can also use PL-11, that is, semi-active radar guidance, and the performance will naturally be worse. ”

Hearing Long Yun's question, he probably regarded him as a layman in charge of procurement, and the salesman also carefully passed him a detailed weapon system configuration document.
