Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Dongyang, Pangu base.

After returning from Yanjing, Kang Chi put the high-bypass-ratio turbofan engine project on hold for a while, and began to think carefully about how to speed up the project and formulate a mid-term plan. Otherwise, it would be a bit too passive to always do what is needed.

In order to inspire himself, he even watched a few science fiction movies and novels. Combined with the current actual development form and the direction of China's military development, he finally believed that an unmanned battlefield that competes for resources and economy is likely to be the future. trend.

At the same time, this direction can also maximize the strength of China's strong and complete industrial system.

In fact, a long time ago, unmanned warfare was considered a future trend by various countries. In the war between the mountainous countries, Lao M was the first to put war robots into actual combat.

But more than twenty years have passed since the Mountain Country War, and the development of unmanned equipment is actually not very fast. The fastest growing ones are drones, and most of them are disposable self-destruction drones.

Compared with B2, F35, C17 and other equipment that are full of black technology, the technological content of the self-destructing drone is not too high to be honest. Its main purpose is to be cheap, easy to use, and large in quantity.

Of course, this advantage alone is actually enough for them to show off their prowess on the battlefield. The battle in the north had been going on for so long. If it hadn't been for this kind of thing, it would have felt no different from World War II.

So just having this kind of drone is not enough, other things must keep up.

Kang Chi imagined a picture.

An aircraft carrier can have four catapults that can automatically and quickly eject drone clusters from the inside of the hull at a maximum ejection speed of once every 10 seconds. The upper deck is mainly used to recover drones.

The functions and models of drones are also more diverse than traditional aircraft carriers.

In addition to fighter jets, early warning aircraft, and anti-submarine aircraft, there must also be bombers, airborne transport aircraft, anti-electromagnetic interference communication aircraft, carrier aircraft, etc.

If the imaginary enemy is set to an island, and this wave is launched, the fighter jets are responsible for protection and fighting, the bombers are responsible for high-altitude land clearing and anti-aircraft firepower, the carrier aircraft is responsible for low-altitude bombing and precision strike anti-aircraft firepower, and finally the airborne transport aircraft is like dumplings. In the same way, land combat robots are sprayed on the ground to carry out ground attack and occupation to achieve true unmanned warfare.

Of course, this unmanned operation only refers to the real front line of firefights. There will definitely still be a large number of personnel on the drone aircraft carrier responsible for maintaining the operation and remote control of the aircraft carrier.

If the imaginary enemy is an aircraft carrier battle group, the same principle applies. Even if only a few land combat robots can complete the landing, the aircraft carrier, which is said to be unsinkable even with nuclear bombs, may be captured and captured.

However, the realization of all this must be based on a basic premise: that is, communication technology must be at least one level higher than that of the enemy.

Next, consider the actual combat effectiveness of each piece of equipment.

Otherwise, if someone else launches electromagnetic interference, the entire combat cluster will stop working.

But individual problems are not a problem for Kangchi.

The difficulty he currently faces is that this entire system involves too many things, and most of them are extremely revolutionary and innovative designs. If he wants to implement it in a short period of time, his mastery points will be very tight.

Secondly, the efficiency of R\u0026D and production may not be able to keep up.

Finally, there is the issue of funding.

If you directly ask the military for money, you first have to come up with a plan that can convince them, and secondly, you have to consider whether their budget can afford it...

But Kang Chi is not worried about the last problem. As a private company, with absolute confidence, he can simply pay for it himself without having to inform the military in advance.

After it is developed, the equipment will be sold to the military, so that the ownership of these technologies can still belong to him. Like Silver Crane and super carbon fiber materials, he can authorize others to produce them or use them commercially himself.

Um,

For things like building the aircraft carrier itself, you definitely have to say hello in advance, convince them to pay and design and manufacture the hull according to Kangchi's requirements.

Otherwise, what would he say if he secretly built an aircraft carrier himself?

As for how to persuade, it’s actually very simple.

As long as he first develops one or two types of ship-based equipment, he can start asking for money.

After having a rough medium- and long-term goal, the next step is nothing more than making breakthroughs in technology one by one.

[UAV aircraft carrier and ship-based equipment cluster research and development plan]

Kang Chi quickly typed this line on the computer, then listed the equipment and technology, and finally rearranged the time arrangement.

Because there are so many technologies and equipment involved, the entire plan cycle, even if Kangchi can cheat, is estimated to take at least two to three years.

After all, it may take ten or even decades for someone to develop an aircraft. If he can come up with this system within two years, it is estimated that China will have a well-deserved military strength for at least the next fifty years. Global Brother.

When the time comes, most of the old M boys who have understood the situation will probably run over immediately and call Dad Hua with a smile, and then take the initiative to propose increasing cooperation and trade. Let’s work together to defeat the traitors and strive to become stronger and bigger. Create brilliance.

The selection list will naturally become a piece of waste paper.

Only then can Kangchi truly enjoy the joy of technological harvesting.

After formulating the entire plan, Kangchi refocused on the WS-30 high-bypass-ratio turbofan engine project that was underway some time ago.

This project was also listed as the first project in his overall planning.

Regardless of whether it is a manned or unmanned aircraft, the engine is the heart. Therefore, although a longer-term plan is formulated, in fact he is still doing what he should do. It is just that after having a clearer long-term direction and goal, Not so confused anymore.

At present, the two most advanced engines in China are the WS-15 and WS-20. Some people may think that the WS-20 has a higher number and was introduced later, so they think it is an upgrade of the WS-15. model, but in fact these two engines are completely parallel engines of the same level.

The WS-15 is a 1:4 small bypass ratio turbofan engine specially built for fighter aircraft, while the WS-20 is a large bypass ratio turbofan engine manufactured for large aircraft. The WS-20 currently has a 6:1 and 8:1 bypass ratio models.

The biggest difference is the ratio of air flow between the inner duct and the outer duct of the engine.

When the air enters the engine, it will be divided into two parts. One part enters the combustion chamber through the inner duct and is burned to generate energy. The rest directly enters the outer duct and is directly pressurized and mixed with the high-temperature gas ejected from the inner duct. Then, it is ejected to generate thrust.

If the duct is high, the amount of low-speed cold air in the outer duct will be larger, and the high-temperature and high-speed gas discharged from the inner duct will be buffered and cooled more, which will reduce the air flow rate of the nozzle and achieve higher propulsion efficiency.

To put it bluntly, it has lower fuel consumption and longer range, but the thrust is also lower, so it is more suitable for large transport aircraft, bombers and even civil airliners.

Country M's C17 transport aircraft uses four HP F117-PW-100 turbofan engines with a large bypass ratio of 6:1. Compared with the turbofan-20, in addition to having a reverse thrust device, it can achieve short-distance landings. The thrust of 19.5 tons is also 3.5 tons higher than that of the turbofan-20.

In fact, this is the same as a car engine. With the same displacement, a good engine can squeeze out higher horsepower and save fuel.

However, after all, the Turbofan 20 is only the first domestically produced large bypass ratio turbofan engine. It can go from zero to something in just over ten years, catch up with other people's decades of technology, and solve the problem of aviation engine jams. , already considered very rare and valuable.

What's more, the Turbofan 20 is actually not that far behind the F117-PW-100. As long as it continues to improve, it will only be a matter of time before it catches up to or even surpasses the F117-PW-100.

However, the WS-30 proposed by Kangchi is not an improved version of the WS-20. After learning the design principles and technologies of the WS-20, he added the thrust reverser design of the F117-PW-100, and A more advanced and bold turbofan engine technology has also been added:

Natural variable circulation and variable bypass ratio.
