Liang Yuan watched HNA pilot leave the hangar through the huge and heavy concrete gate, stood up from the flight seat, stepped on the edge of the cockpit to find the position of the boarding ladder, and carefully climbed down from the F14 fighter.

"Uncle Ning, how long does it take for these pilots to train before they can go out to carry out the mission?" Liang Yuan asked casually.

Ning Lei smiled bitterly and said, "It took a year for them to fly the plane to Nansha for cruise, and then fly back safely, it would be considered a genius."

Liang Yuan was stunned when he heard that it took so long, and then he realized that he had always ignored the fact that it took a long time to enter the army to form combat effectiveness.

Ning Lei went to the United States in July last year until he returned to China in March. He trained in the United States for nine months. With the advanced training facilities of the United States, Grumman Company deliberately provided Ning Lei with a large amount of flight time in order to enter the military aircraft market in the Republic, and only completed the take-off and landing of the F14 fighter at a land airport and the over-visual air combat. There was no time to mention the contents involved in aircraft carriers.

With the backward training level in China, how long will it take for the F14 fighter to form combat effectiveness and complete combat readiness duty? The Republic currently does not even have a flight simulator for an F14 fighter.

Liang Yuan patted his forehead and became a little too big. There were so many things to do. Now it seems that the plane was just the beginning of trouble. In the 1980s, the Republic had not yet fully mastered the flight characteristics of the second-generation fighter J-7. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to directly use the third-generation fighter.

Based on the remaining service life of the F14 fighter, the remaining three or four thousand hours of the F14 fighter is calculated. Before the fuselage is scrapped, it seems that the pilots of the Republic want to fully grasp the flight characteristics of the F14 fighter under various conditions and speeds.

Even Grumman, which produced and designed the F14 fighter, wanted to fully grasp the various flight characteristics of the F14 fighter, it would take tens of thousands of hours of wind tunnel tests and hundreds of hours of finalized test flights.

Unless, like the air force of some African countries in later generations, only takes off, land, identify radar, launch missiles and run after-force escape, it is impossible to fully grasp the combat potential of the aircraft within the limited life of the F14 fighter.

If you don’t understand the core data of the F14 fighter, the pilots of the Republic can only fly according to the flight manual provided by the United States. They are completely afraid to do anything beyond the scope of the manual, otherwise you will face the danger of crashing at any time.

It is completely conceivable that the United States would give the Republic a streamlined flight manual. No wonder the US Congress happily approved the export of the F14 fighter.

"Uncle Ning, it takes so long to form combat power. What should I do in Nansha?"

Ning Lei laughed and said confidently: "Isn't Uncle Ning still there? In terms of the performance of f14, unless Vietnam dispatches a large-scale aircraft fleet, a dual-machine formation is enough."

"But there is one thing that Xiaoyuan could do," Ning Lei said.

"What's the matter?" Liang Yuan asked curiously.

"I heard you call the Science and Technology Park a few days ago and say that you have introduced an advanced processor from abroad?" Ning Lei asked.

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "It's an overseas Chinese, named Fang Dongxing. The new processor was developed by him in the United States. He just returned to China a few days ago and has already joined the Science and Technology Park. He is now responsible for the processor development of the chip laboratory."

"Xiaoyuan, does your chip laboratory have the ability to develop supercomputers?" Ning Lei asked with some anticipation.

"Supercomputer? What does Uncle Ning want a supercomputer to do?"

"When Uncle Ning was training at Grumman, a large part of his time was conducted at the F14 fighter flight simulation training center, where there was a high-simulation flight simulator that had just been put into use. It can perfectly reflect the entire process of the F14 fighter takeoff, landing, and partial maneuvering."

"Later Uncle Ning learned that the flight simulator was the core of a supercomputer, which simulated the various actions of the F14 fighter through projection. Unfortunately, the equipment involved an advanced supercomputer. The US Congress prohibited the export of the export. Otherwise, if you buy one, the pilot's training time would be reduced by at least half, and you would not have to consume the precious life of the aircraft." Ning Lei explained the matter in detail.

Liang Yuan was really amused and laughed when he heard Ning Lei say it. He felt mixed with all kinds of feelings and didn't know what to say. The fighter high simulation system in Ning Lei's mouth is probably similar to the simulated flight and other games released by Microsoft in later generations. Of course, the effect is far inferior.

How many times can the supercomputer calculate now? Liang Yuan is trying hard to recall the major events in the processor industry in the 1980s.

Liang Yuan vaguely remembers that in the early 1990s, the world's first commercial supercomputer was put into use, with the machine being sold at about US$30 million, and it obtained 16 billion of computing power per second from nearly 20,000 parallel connections.

According to Moore's Law, the computing speed of the supercomputer in Ning Leikou is only about 4 billion per second, which is equivalent to the high-frequency Pentium 3 processor produced by Intel in later generations.

According to Moore's Law, the current price of that supercomputer will definitely not be lower than $30 million.

After spending $30 million or more than 200 million yuan to buy a Bensan computer, Liang Yuan suddenly felt that his brain was a little hypoxia.

"Uh... Uncle Ning, this technology park should be able to be developed, but the cost may be a bit high." Liang Yuan said with a strange expression.

The supercomputer currently equipped in the Republic is the Galaxy-1 type electronic tube computer put into use in 1983. The computing speed is 100 million times per second, which is about a little stronger than the 486 microprocessor that Intel put into production in 1990.

According to Liang Yuan's estimate, the world's first commercial supercomputer processor should be a 486-level chip, and now the C2 processor in the Science and Technology Park Chip Laboratory has made the C2 processor, which is equivalent to Intel's 286 series chips.

In the case of two generation differences between the same 486 chip, a supercomputer composed of a c2 processor has the ability to achieve computing power of 4 billion per second, but the number of chips required should be between 20,000 and 30,000 chips. Currently, the price of 27,000 yuan per unit of the Republic is for reference. The cost of chips alone is close to 100 million.

"Xiaoyuan, how much can it cost?" Ning Lei asked nervously.

Liang Yuan thought for a while and said, "At least 200 million is needed."

"Xiaoyuan, how sure can the Science and Technology Park be?" Ning Lei's tone couldn't help but rise. For the troops, some high-end items are not a big problem as long as they can be solved with RMB.

Liang Yuan stretched out his thumb and index finger and gestured, saying, "Uncle Ning, you can probably be 80% sure."

Among the technical difficulties of supercomputers, the computing power of the chip is not the most important. What is important is the heat dissipation and compatibility of the entire system. This technical problem in engineering application happens to be the strength of the Republic.

After solving the source of the chip, as long as you are willing to invest money, supercomputers are not technically difficult for the Republic.
