Chapter 608 Taihang Engine

.    

Seeing the mighty and majestic "Taihang" aircraft engine on the booth, Yang Xing sighed. He was reborn. It would be easy to be a rich man with just memory. Why would he risk invading into the north to steal military secrets? Now that he has seen his efforts become tangible military achievements, he can be proud.

As a member of the online angered youth in his previous life, he argued online whether this aircraft engine that would be finalized after several years was good or bad, but he had a long war of words. But although everyone hoped that their things would be good, we can understand from the actual situation that the domestic military industry has weak foundations. This engine that many Chinese people hope for is still far from reliability compared to foreign products. Therefore, even after the "Taihang" is put into service, the country still has to buy engines from Russia.

However, with his help in this life, he finally made up for this biggest shortcoming in China's equipment manufacturing industry. Yang Xing didn't expect that we could immediately surpass Britain and the United States with the Soviet secret file. It was Amitabha Buddha to gradually catch up with the Russian military level that had sunset. Fortunately, domestic engines are not related to this matter across the country. The central government and the military are trying hard to develop their own technology engines. With the support of the central government, it is natural that the "Taihang" engine was released nearly ten years ahead of schedule.

The aero engine industry has always had the saying that "core aircraft" is to develop a series of engines suitable for large transport aircraft, helicopters and even marine gas based on a mature technology and excellent performance. This time, the "Taihang" engine was successfully developed, and the country attached great importance to it. It plans to use "Taihang" as its core aircraft to develop a variety of engines suitable for the needs of large aircraft, helicopters, naval ships, etc., so as to shorten the gap in engine technology with the United States to about ten years.

Yang Xing listened to a special report by scientific researchers who developed the "Taihang" engine at the acceptance meeting. In fact, the country has established a project to develop a large-thrust turbofan engine since 1987, but the country only recovered from the Cultural Revolution at that time, and the basic industrial foundation was weak. Compared with those major aviation powers abroad, each of them has more than a hundred years of technical background and has gained experience through the actual combat of multiple regional conflicts during World War II and the Cold War. There are very few domestic leaders in the field of aviation engines, so the development process is particularly difficult.

This was the first time he heard at this report meeting that the prototype of the "Taihang" engine did not imitate the former Soviet Union, but was American goods. At that time, in order to keep up with the development progress of the Chinese J-10 aircraft, the Taihang engine, which was also called "turbofan 10", was adopted to walk on two legs. One was to introduce mature foreign core aircraft technology. In the 1980s, China-US relations improved, and China imported aeronautical and land-based fuel turbines of the same level as the F100 from the United States, which was one of the important technical sources of the turbofan 10a core aircraft. The f100 was the engine of the main fighter aircraft of the United States at that time. China used it as its goal to develop new aircraft engines, which was definitely designed to meet high standards.

The second is self-developed improvements. China has long known the advanced nature of turbofan engines. It was not too late to develop on its own. At that time, the research and development of high-thrust domestic engines were also underway. The experimental engine, which was successfully tested in 1992, had the performance requirements of the f100 core engines. The imported f100 core engines in China have greatly changed the core engine technology and the American prototypes.

Afterwards, despite the termination of military cooperation with the United States, the military found a way to introduce the Soviet Su-27 aircraft. As an aircraft that can confront the US F-15, the al-31f engine it uses is also a high-quality engine that is as famous as the F100. Therefore, "Taihang" can be said to be a masterpiece of the strengths of the East and the West, and has combined the sweat and hard work of researchers for more than ten years.

This commentary opened Yang Xing's eyes. Unexpectedly, there was such an allusion in "Taihang". At the report, it was mentioned that the domestic main fighter jets J-11 and J-10 will gradually adopt the "Taihang" engine. With the help of the Soviet secret device, the tactical performance and reliability of "Taihang" are now comparable to that of Russia's al-31f engine. With the help of domestic electronic manufacturing advantages, it is even better than its previous life.

This is already a remarkable achievement. After all, we owe too much money. Yang Xing is the title of Air Force Lieutenant Colonel. He is very clear about how a good aircraft engine has a role in the Air Force. Among these ten major equipment projects, the key aircraft of Hi-Tech include early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, carrier-based aircraft and the next generation of main combat aircraft. Their success is directly linked to whether there is a strong domestic "heart". Name it "Taihang", which may be expected to take on the name of "Ring of the World".

During the visit, Yang Xing felt deeply that due to his intervention in this life, with the help of a large number of advanced technologies and funds, many weapons that were still in the development stage in the previous life were released in advance, which was his greatest contribution to the country. In addition to the "Taihang" engine, what Yang Xing paid more attention to was the digital command system that was closely related to him. This time, the integrated command system of multi-army joint combat developed by a direct information technology research institute and Nebula Electronics of the domestic staff is undoubtedly another highlight in addition to the "Taihang" engine.

This system is the only military equipment that the military can do to overcome Russia and catch up with the world level. In the past, in addition to "heart disease", domestic military equipment was not only "heart disease", but also the transmission of military orders between the military branches and the transmission of military orders from superiors and subordinates of the troops was called "neurotic". When we saw the overwhelming one-sided electronic suppression ability demonstrated by the US military in the First Gulf War, the Iraqi Command's military orders could not be out of the capital Baghdad, the air force aircraft had just taken off, and more than tens of thousands of coalition forces were pointed by the United States as if they were armed. The efficiency of the new digital command system that reflects the US military's technological advantages in this battle shocked the domestic military. The war environment in a strong electronic interference environment has become a compulsory course in domestic military exercises.

Fortunately, in the past 20 years of reform, China's electronics industry has developed from the simplest stage of processing and welding circuit boards in the past to the advanced stage of chip research and development, design and manufacturing alone. Many electronic technologies have caught up with the world trend. In recent years, Nebula Electronics and many domestic military electronic companies have cooperated with many domestic military electronic companies. The military has made rapid progress in the fields of data links, general CPUs, fiber optic communications and supercomputers. On this basis, the integrated command system of multiple joint combat came into being.

Several types of early warning and electronic warfare aircraft at the acceptance meeting belong to this system, and their electronic equipment is no longer comparable to foreign products, especially the fixed active phased array radar used in the disc radar cover of large early warning aircraft, which is one generation ahead of the technology of similar large early warning aircraft in the United States and Russia. Scientific researchers proudly introduced that although we wanted to use Israel's help to develop early warning aircraft, the plan was stopped by the Americans in the middle. As a result, for this breath, we only took more than two years to develop this modern air combat force multiplier with a detection distance of nearly 500 kilometers and can guide 100 batches of fighter aircraft at the same time.

Now is no longer an era that only depends on the number of troops and the amount of equipment. Information technology can allow the US Secretary of Defense to directly command several soldiers thousands of miles away through satellite communications; a sergeant sitting in an air-conditioned room in the military camp outside the desert of the Casino in Las Vegas, USA, moved his fingers, and a drone on the battlefield of Afghanistan half a plane outside the earth released a ground-to-ground missile. The terrorist leader of the base, who was famous, was blown away to the bones. All of this is inseparable from the support of the US military's advanced digital command and combat system.

The new military concepts such as "air-ground integration", "combination of investigation and attack", and "destruction as soon as discovery" that the US military has continuously proposed in recent years are all based on its huge and high-speed military command network. In China, it was not until the end of the 1980s that the joint military exercises of the three armies were put on the agenda. This is the skill that the US military practiced during World War II. We are indeed far behind in military informatization. In the past, it has always been proposed that weapons are not enough to rely on the heroic spirit of soldiers, but for so long, it is not a solution to always let soldiers use inferior equipment to fight against advanced weapons.

The integrated command system of multi-army joint combat undoubtedly gave the China ** team a good opportunity for a leapfrog development, because digital information equipment can make old equipment sprout new buds. For example, the old artillery can only be concentrated in the previous combat method, and cannons can be launched by radio based on the data provided in the front, and they have to wait for the response of the after-effect of the front line to investigate and strike. If they fail to hit, they should continue to fire. It is easy for the artillery positions to be noticed by the enemy and summoned the enemy's counterattack. This is really slow to react on the rapidly changing battlefield.

However, the data obtained by using integrated command system, front-line aircraft, drones and scouts do not need to be called to the radio station anymore. It only takes a few buttons to directly transmit it to the rear artillery commander through the military data link. It can immediately correspond to the digital coordinates. It only takes one or two artillery guns to fire. Once the shell lands, the rear can obtain damage data based on fire control radar or photoelectric reconnaissance. Whether to continue to replenish the artillery or retreat immediately can be decided immediately, greatly improving the troops' reaction speed and battlefield survival rate.

If the last guided artillery shells are used, even the first round of artillery can accurately hit the target, even the subsequent steps are saved. In the past, the covered fire has become a fixed-point clearance, and the traditional combat methods have undergone great changes. This is still a achievement that can be achieved without the need to develop new artillery, which shows the role of the integrated command and control system.

However, due to problems such as the estrangement of troops, even the US military, which has the most mature technology, faces an embarrassing situation where many political and digital command systems of various services are incompatible. Fortunately, China has the advantages of rearwardness, and the General Staff has come forward to integrate digital command plans for various services departments. It takes advantage of the advantages of civilian digital informatization to finally build an integrated command system for multi-army joint combat with Chinese characteristics.
