It was an anti-ship missile!The Iranian sailors were dumbfounded. They did not expect that their small missile boat of more than 200 tons would also be attacked by the opponent with anti-ship missiles!

There was no time to dodge at all, and the missile slammed into one of the missile boats violently.

Chapter 473 The Battle

Xi'an, China.

Xi'an, known as Chang'an and Jingzhao in ancient times, is one of the four world-famous ancient civilization capitals, ranking first among the four ancient capitals in China. It is the capital city with the most dynasties and the greatest influence in Chinese history.

After entering the new China, the ancient city of Xi'an is exuding new vitality more and more.

In Yanliang District, there is a very ordinary research institute, Xi'an Heavy Aircraft Design Research Institute (that is, 603 Institute).

At this time, it was hot summer, and the cicadas outside the window were chirping non-stop, while the scientific and technical personnel in Institute 603 were working all the time.

In one of the meeting rooms, a meeting was being held to coordinate the progress of various departments.

"Everyone, after our repeated designs, the aerodynamic layout of our new fighter-bomber has been completely determined. We adopt a normal tandem two-seater layout, a conventional semi-monocoque wasp-waist fuselage with pelvic fins. After a medium aspect ratio The swept upper single wing has serrations on the leading edge, with anhedral angle, aerodynamically twisted outer wing, and fillet at the root of the wing. The oblique fixed axis full-moving middle and lower horizontal tail, large swept single vertical tail. Two turbofan engines are installed side by side In the rear fuselage, the air intakes are located at the wing roots on both sides of the fuselage." Chief Designer Chen Yijian said.

At this time, the formal research of the JH-7 has gone through more than a year. While China is fully developing its economy, it is still investing in the development of a brand new fighter. This is a very precious opportunity.

However, the state can allocate very little funds. The entire development process has only allocated 300 million Renminbi, and up to now, the funds have only been allocated [-] million, and the superiors have already begun to experience financial constraints.Moreover, this project, which was originally a project that the Navy and the Air Force had high hopes for, has now withdrawn from the Air Force.

Because the Air Force hopes to have a side-by-side two-seater fighter-bomber like the Su-24, with two pilots operating side by side, with a relatively good line of sight, and can use various ground attack weapons, while the Navy's main mission is anti-ship, This requirement is not very strong, and the parallel two-seater will cause great resistance and affect the voyage, so the Navy insists on the tandem two-seater.

In desperation, Chen Yijian came up with the method of conducting research on two projects at the same time.However, this did not impress the Air Force. In the end, the Air Force withdrew because the JH-[-] could not meet the requirements of the Air Force. The Air Force hoped that this fighter could perform ultra-low-altitude penetration. To be able to maintain the same altitude, the JH-[-]'s avionics cannot reach this level at all. Even if telex control is adopted, it is only a three-redundancy analog telex system, and the supporting radar is still far away.Moreover, all kinds of weapons for precise ground strikes are still completely blank.

Therefore, the current JH-[-] can be said to be specially researched for the navy.

"Our blueprint design has already begun to be refined. It is estimated that it will take half a year to perfect all the details and start the trial production of parts at the same time." Chen Yijian said.

"But our research and development funds are gone." Yi Heyuan said: "Without the national appropriation, we can't carry out detailed design at all."

Yi Heyuan is the deputy chief engineer of the 603 Institute. Together with Chen Yijian, he is responsible for the development of the JH-[-], but now, he feels a lot of pressure.

The country is undergoing transformation. Although the JH-[-] project is a key project of the country, it also faces the problem of insufficient funding. Those projects that are temporarily unimportant cannot guarantee the source of funding. Shanghai Yun-[-] did not receive a penny. appropriation.

"I will go to the superior to ask for funding." Chen Yijian said: "Even if we have no source of funds, we will continue the whole project."

He glanced at the designers and said: "When the People's Republic of China was first established, we were also poor and blank. Didn't we still establish a comprehensive defense industry? Now our situation is much better than then. Our fighter , is the first fighter jet developed by the Chinese dúlì, we must work hard, carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardships, and not being afraid of tiredness, and successfully develop the new fighter-bomber!"

"I heard that Shanghai's Yunshi and Chengdu's J[-] are well-funded." Seeing that Chen Yijian didn't understand what he meant, Yi Heyuan began to dial.

"Yes, I heard that they have received investment from Iraq. Iraq is really rich. It costs tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars. If we have investment from Iraq, the development of fighter jets will definitely speed up." A designer Said.

The development of fighter jets is a huge project. It is now in the design stage, and it only needs to use brains and hands. When it enters system research and development, it needs to manufacture prototypes, and the cost is high. Now the country has no funds to invest. After that, The risk is even greater.

"Yes, I heard that the J-[-] in Chengdu has undergone a major overhaul, adopting the belly air intake, and the avionics were refitted in Iraq, which has greatly improved its performance. Although Iraq does not have a complete scientific research team, but , Their current processing capabilities are already very strong, and it is said that some parts of the remodeled J-[-] exported to Pakistan, such as the fuselage beams, have begun to be processed in Iraq." Another designer said.

"Everyone." Chen Yijian said with a displeased face, "You have to know what your research project is. The Yun-[-] in Shanghai is just a passenger plane for civilian use, while the J-[-] in Chengdu is a fighter plane for foreign trade. Therefore, let Iraq People's funds are allowed to participate in the country, because the condition proposed by Iraq is technology sharing. However, our JH-[-] is a state-secret model, and all our technologies cannot be leaked to the outside world. We must Rely on the strength of your own country!"

The meeting ended soon. Looking at the technicians who had already left, Yi Heyuan said, "Old Chen, do you really think so?"

Yi Heyuan and Chen Yijian are both over 50 years old at this time, and they are the same age.

Chen Yijian said: "Our fighter plane adopts many new technologies for us, but for Iraq, it is nothing. We use three-redundancy telex operation, and the Mirage introduced by Iraq 4000 is a four-degree telex, which has far surpassed us. The production line of Phantom 4000 was also introduced by Iraq simultaneously, and the western avionics even surpassed our level. Iraq has been involved in several air strikes against Iran , using long-range precision-guided weapons with a range of more than [-] kilometers, it can be said that Iraq has come ahead of us."

Although not reconciled, Chen Yijian knew that Iraq's current level of military aircraft was far ahead of the world.

"That is to say, there is no possibility of leaking the secret at all?" Yi Heyuan said.

"Yes!" Chen Yijian said: "Our fighter has just entered the development stage. If Iraqi funds come in, they will definitely ask for the whole process of follow-up. In this case, they will go through the whole process of manufacturing the new fighter. We will train a scientific research team for Iraq."

Chen Yijian saw the problem very clearly. Their money was not taken for nothing, it would be used as tuition fees for them.

"Also, I heard that Shen Fei's people also went to lobby Iraq, but unfortunately Iraq is not interested." Chen Yijian continued, in fact, Chen Yijian already understood what the engineers said just now.

Seeing that the improvement of the J-2 was very successful, Shen Fei was also tempted. At this time, Shen Fei's J-[-]-[-] project is entering the prototype manufacturing process, but the matching radar and fire control system are still far away from the successful development. .

Unexpectedly, they were shut out, and they didn't even see the legendary God of War in the Middle East, so they came back in despair.

Although there is a reason for China's export of weapons to Iran, Chen Yijian analyzed that there is another reason. Iraq has so many advanced fighter jets, and it doesn't care about these Chinese military jets at all.

The J-[-] has been improved on a large scale. It is a complete foreign trade aircraft. Iraq has invested funds for the purpose of gaining benefits. The other Y-[-] is a complete passenger aircraft and has nothing to do with military aircraft. Therefore, Iraq Investing funds is probably also seeing a huge market in the future.

To say that His Excellency Qusay provided funds to help these enterprises out of his great friendship with the Chinese people, Chen Yijian would only think it was a cold joke.Since the engine of the JH-4000 is a British Spey engine, in order to coordinate the matching between the engine and the intake, Chen Yijian has been to Europe many times, and he is also very envious of the Mirage [-] fighter of the French company Dassault.

"The research and development of the new aircraft must be based on independence. This is a fighter developed by us Chinese completely independently. Whether we can get other funds, we cannot make the decision ourselves, it depends on the meaning of the superior." Chen Yijian said : "However, no matter what, we must design this new type of fighter-bomber successfully! This is our China's fighting spirit!"

Although there are many difficulties, although the funds are always not in place, Chen Yijian also firmly believes that he can successfully develop this fighter!

However, he has never had confidence in foreign investment, and he never expected that the young Qusay boy with high vision in Iraq would actually be able to take a fancy to this project under his command, and, just a few months later After Qusai visited China and promoted the relationship between the two countries, he actually invested money to help the 603 Institute develop this project. Although Iraqis appeared in the research and development team, they were definitely not just here to steal teachers and learn skills. Because they are all in contact with the latest cutting-edge technology, a large number of new electronic devices have been introduced into the design, and the JH-202 has directly developed into the new Flying Leopard of later generations. The domestically produced turbofan-9, a domestic derivative of the slow British Spey MK[-] engine, completed all localization within two years.

The general trend of the world is still developing along the tide of history, but due to Qu Sai's crossing, in some corners of the world, great changes have already begun to take place.

Chapter 474 Doctor Bull's Super Cannon

Belgium.

This is a very ordinary small country in Europe. It is located in the northwest of Europe, bordering Germany to the east, the Netherlands to the north, France to the south, and the North Sea to the west. The two mother rivers, the Maas River and the Escaux River, flow slowly.The densely populated Belgium is one of the most industrially developed regions in the world and one of the first countries in continental Europe to carry out the industrial revolution in the early 19th century.

In a suburb of the Belgian capital, a humble space research company welcomed a special guest.

"Dr. Bull, we are very honored to meet you." A Middle Eastern man who spoke proficient English said.

This man is Director Yurid of the Messiah Bureau, and he came here with a special mission: to drag the Dr. Boer in front of him to Iraq!

Looking at the unremarkable but somewhat arrogant doctor in his 50s, Yurid knew that anyone whom His Excellency Qusay personally likes must have extraordinary abilities.

This Dr. Bull is the legendary geek in the world, Dr. Gilad Bull, the most outstanding artillery designer in the world!

Dr Bull was born in North Bay, Ontario, Canada in 1928, the ninth of 10 siblings.He had a very unfortunate childhood. His mother died when he was 3 years old, and his father, who was a lawyer, ran away from home and was brought up by his uncle and aunt.These experiences have created Boolean sensitivity.Lonely and prone to anger, this character made him squeezed out by villains in his later life, but he was an outstanding student in school.

At the age of 22, Bull obtained a doctorate from the University of Toronto with outstanding results, becoming the youngest doctor in the history of the school.Before long, he emerged with artillery skills and creative excellence. In June 1961, he was hired as a professor of engineering at McGill University in Montreal. In 6, Bull, who was just in his early 1964s, was already the director of the Institute of Cosmology at the university.

Bull's most outstanding achievement is the super cannon and the 45-caliber revolution.

The super cannon is a descendant of an engineer who participated in the "Paris Cannon Project" during the First World War. He admires the reputation of Dr. Bull and hopes that this cannon can become a reality from paper. He is very interested in artillery technology. Dr. Bull was immediately fascinated by this kind of super cannon. For the rest of his life, he almost wanted to make this kind of cannon successfully.

Dr. Bull began to receive funding from the government of the United States and Canada, and began to study the "Barbados" cannon. In the subsequent test launch, the cannon successfully threw a 90-kilogram shell into space at a height of 180 kilometers.This cannon is also known as the "Barbados" cannon because of the place where it was tested.Moreover, Dr. Bull creatively proposed that if the launcher of the giant cannon is a propelled rocket, its firing range will be greatly extended, and this is the extended-range rocket.In subsequent tests, he successfully launched the 214-kilogram rocket-extended warhead to a distance of 2570 kilometers.A slightly lighter carrier can be sent to a vertical height of more than 250 kilometers.Among the surviving functional cannons in the world, the record held by this "Barbados" cannon has not yet been broken.The success of this work laid the foundation for Dr. Bull to later design a more powerful "super artillery".

Moreover, Dr. Bull has been working on the design of new guns and ammunition, such as wing shells to stabilize the projectile, special shell soft shells designed to protect the wings from the blast pressure of the gun bore, and mounted on shells. rocket boosters on board and so on.

Moreover, the ultimate goal of Dr. Bull's design of this super cannon is not to use it on the battlefield, but to use it in the field of aerospace engineering.Because launching a satellite with a super cannon is much cheaper than launching a rocket!

Moreover, the important support firepower of the infantry at this time, the 155mm caliber howitzer, is all 39 times the caliber, but Dr. Bull found in his research that the 45 times the caliber is more valuable. He used a caliber two years ago The GC45 155mm howitzer was tested, and the maximum range reached 43 kilometers. For a gun with a caliber of 39 times, it can fire up to 30 kilometers, which is already the ultimate.After his success, artillery from all over the world began to step into the ranks of 45 times the caliber.

Such a artillery wizard is very depressed now.Because this Dr. Boolean has a bad personality and has offended many people.As a result, he failed in North America, because the export of weapons to South Africa was discovered by the United Nations, and the government put pressure on him, and his company in Canada went bankrupt soon.
