Hongsawady.

Kachin State, Qingye Airlines' Mengguan Township aircraft manufacturing base.

After a heavy rain, the sky was still covered with dark clouds.

The MiG-25 production line, which has been debugged for more than a week, officially started assembling the first batch of 20 fighter jets today.

Carl, Wang Haoran and others personally participated in the assembly work.

This is also a shortcoming of the old production line. Even after modern automation transformation, some processes can still only be assembled manually.

Two engines that are very similar to the R15B-300 turbojet engine used in the MiG-25 appeared on the hoisting platform.

Wang Haoran asked in a low voice: "Is this the Chixin turbojet engine improved by our factory?"

Mu Ziying, who also came to help, smiled and replied: "Yes, this is a wild heart."

According to the internal renaming of Qingye Aviation, the modified version of the MiG-25 will naturally not use the original old name, but will be renamed the "Eagle-1" fighter, referred to as: Eagle fighter.

After replacing a series of new materials, the empty weight of the Eagle fighter is only 7.3 tons.

The two Chixin turbojet engines increase the thrust of the Eagle fighter by 35.2%, and the fuel consumption increases by 6.3% under the maximum power output state.

The extremely powerful biochip forms the Eagle fighter's super brain, which is enough to form a perfect human-machine synchronization with the new human pilot.

Some of the current parameters of the Eagle fighter are as follows:

The overall dimensions are basically the same as the MiG-25.

Engine thrust: maximum thrust 2×116.59 kN, afterburner thrust 2×148.39 kN.

Empty body weight: 7.3 tons.

Normal takeoff weight: 43.5 tons.

Maximum take-off weight: 47.5 tons.

Built-in fuel tank capacity: 14.5 tons.

Payload: 21.7 tons.

Maximum speed: Mach 3.7.

Normal cruising range: 4432 kilometers, 5658 kilometers with auxiliary fuel tank.

Supersonic range: 1532 kilometers, 2021 kilometers with auxiliary fuel tank.

Among these data, the most core ones are engine thrust, payload and range. Obviously, the Eagle fighter has made huge improvements in these three aspects compared to the original MiG-25.

The reason for this situation is mainly due to the improvement of engine technology and the supercomputer system equipped with the aircraft, which allows the Eagle fighter to consume only 46.8% of the MiG 25's fuel consumption at cruising speed.

As long as the speed does not exceed Mach 3, the range of the Eagle fighter jet will be greatly improved.

You should know that the MiG 31 developed by Lucia on the basis of the MiG 25 uses a D-30F6 turbofan engine with a maximum thrust of 93.1 kN and an afterburning thrust of 151.9 kN.

This data is almost the same as the Red Heart Engine.

As a heavy fighter, the Eagle fighter is actually more powerful than the current Su-27 and F15 of the same level.

After all, that 21.7-ton payload is enough to kill a lot of fighters of the same level in an instant.

The increase in payload is mainly due to the weight extruded from new materials.

Coupled with the assistance of supercomputers, the Eagle fighter also changed the poor performance of the MiG-25 in low-altitude and low-speed dogfights.

After all, the human brain is only suitable for fuzzy analysis, inspirational fantasy, etc. In terms of reaction speed and knowledge reserve, it is difficult to compete with biological computers.

During the fight between fighter jets, the pilot's reaction speed and composure are often tested.

In this regard, new humans assisted by supercomputers can basically defeat natural humans.

The Hongsawady Air Force and Qingye Airlines have conducted several supercomputer simulated battles. In the simulated air battles of new humans flying Eagle fighter jets, they can basically achieve a winning rate of about 86%.

Those failed battle records are not actually complete failures, but suffered siege from the enemy or super-saturation strikes.

After all, if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.

In a simulated battle, the computer does not care about one-on-one situations, as long as it wants to win, so the computer will use all the resources at its disposal and use all means.

The new humans are human beings after all, and they are somewhat unable to withstand the crazy computers.

Through simulated battles again and again, not only Hongsawadi's confidence has increased, but Qingye Airlines has also gained a lot of confidence.

Many engineers and designers of Qingye Airlines previously believed that the MiG-25 was outdated and that Qingye Airlines was wasting time by building it.

Now they finally wake up.

The assembly work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Seeing the Eagle fighter jet taking shape in front of them, everyone couldn't help but get excited. They all wanted to see the Eagle fighter jet soar into the blue sky earlier.

The excited engineers and technicians almost forgot about food and sleep, and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to this assembly work.

More than half a month later.

The first Eagle fighter was finally assembled and underwent a comprehensive inspection.

The Air Force also sent a professional ground crew and five test pilots.

It just so happens that the weather around Kachin State has been cloudy and rainy recently.

Although neighbors to the west and north can lock the position of the aircraft through high-power radar.

However, the fuselage surface of the Eagle fighter itself is covered with a very thin layer of high-temperature-resistant wave-absorbing material, so the probability of being locked by radar is very small.

The pilot, who had packed his pistol and auxiliary exoskeleton, sat in the cockpit and pressed the door closing button.

[Start system self-test...]

[Fuel inventory: 14.5 tons...]

[There is no foreign matter blocking the air intake...]

[Everything in the avionics system is normal...]

The pilot communicated with the tower for a while and then pressed the engine ignition switch.

Suddenly, the nozzle behind the engine spewed out light blue flames, and the flames regularly erupted into micro shock waves. This was the aftermath of the explosion shock wave inside the engine.

The Eagle fighter jet quickly sprinted down the runway.

take off.

Looking at the fighter jet soaring into the blue sky again, Karl and Mikoyan looked at each other, each showing a hint of excitement.

The pilot activated the onboard supercomputer's coordination system, and then began to perform various low-altitude and low-speed dogfighting maneuvers.

If there were a fighter jet that was good at low-altitude dogfights at this time, it would probably be difficult to fight against the Eagle fighter jet.

After all, both the Eagle fighter jet and the pilot failed.

After various maneuvers, the Eagle fighter began to sprint upward, giving full play to its true qualities as a high-altitude, high-speed fighter.

However, since Kachin State is a border area with borders on its east, west, north and west, so if you want to fly at supersonic speeds, you can only fly south.

The Mach ring produced by supersonic flight becomes somewhat obvious even in the clouds covered by dark clouds.

The pilot pushed the throttle lever all the way down.

When the Eagle fighter entered the violent mode, the explosion shock wave in the engine combustion chamber instantly surged. The explosive force was so terrifying that it could almost tear apart the ordinary engine, and forcibly pushed the flight speed to the limit of Mach 3.7.

After more than half of the fuel was consumed and the plane flew south for more than 700 kilometers, the pilot finally stopped accelerating violently, then entered cruising speed and flew back in the most fuel-efficient way.

After flying back to the airport.

Karl, Mikoyan, Wang Haoran, Mu Ziying and other engineers all cheered in unison.

After being happy for a few minutes, Karl clapped his hands and said, "Dear colleagues, we are now divided into two groups. One group will cooperate with the flight test and make maintenance records. The other group will work hard to assemble the remaining fighter jets."

"good!"

"I can't help it anymore and want to do something big."

"Hahaha……"

The work of both groups went very smoothly. After all, the MiG-25 was originally chosen because it was cheap and had a complete set of complete design drawings.

The Eagle fighter basically does not change the aerodynamic layout and internal parts positions, but only reduces the weight of the parts and increases the overall performance of the parts.

The few areas for improvement are also in the engine area.

As the assembly of twenty Eagle fighter jets has been completed, the test work has also increased due to the increase in test samples, and various test data are also rapidly accumulating.

These test data are actually very important, as they are related to improving fighter jets in the future and allowing airborne supercomputers to have more operating models.

And this series of tests obviously cannot be completely hidden from the outside world.

After all, supersonic flight will produce sonic booms, and in some areas of Hongsawady, planes are already known to be flying around in the sky these days.
