Chapter 13
"I think what you said makes sense." After a while, Say suddenly pointed to the holographic model of J43 and said, "You should know the performance of that fighter plane."

"Of course." Zhang Beihai nodded. Although he was born in the navy, he naturally knew this fighter jet known as the Blade of the Republic very clearly.

The J43 is the latest six-and-a-half-generation fighter jet in service of the Chinese People's Air Force. It is currently one of the most advanced twin-engine heavy fighter jets in the world, and it is also one of the few fighter jets designed with space warfare in mind.

It uses a laser-intensive defense system and a terahertz radar. Its onboard computer can directly communicate with satellites and drones, and its cruising speed on the earth alone can easily exceed Mach 6.

The most commendable thing is that this fighter plane also has a buffer device similar to "deep sea fluid" to offset the overload. Even Luo Ji, who had a broken rib, would be fine if he vomited while the plane was running.

So, in order to show off his outfits to his girls, Luo Ji specifically asked PDC to give him a J43 to drive around and spit out a cabin on it.

Because with his small body, he can't fly other supersonic fighters at all. Supersonic fighters require a lot of personal physical fitness, and even ordinary pilots can't control them.

"I heard that this fighter jet would be invincible ten years ago. Even a hundred F22s would not be able to touch a hair of it." Looking at the holographic model, Say said slowly.

"That's right, because its cruising speed was faster than any other air-to-air missiles at that time, and the R-37M missiles of the Russian army were not as fast as this fighter plane." Zhang Beihai explained.

"Actually, as long as there is a spaceship on board, it can also carry out short-distance space operations, such as equipped with nuclear aerial bombs to bomb enemy ships, but"

"But in space warfare, this is a snail with a working medium engine, and it has no mobility at all. It can only accelerate to one ten-thousandth of the speed of light."

"So in front of the Trisolaran who has mastered interstellar navigation, this fighter plane doesn't even have the ability to move." Zhang Beihai gritted his teeth and said the following words.

"That's exactly the reason." Say said: "So I also agree with radiation-driven spaceships, because that seems to be the only way for interstellar voyages."

"The propellant-driven spacecraft is too dependent on the planetary base, and cannot independently complete combat missions in the solar system. The interstellar fleet formed by this kind of spacecraft is now the brown water navy of those small countries."

"A very impressive description, your description is both concise and profound."

Zhang Beihai seemed to have found a bosom friend: "We have to rely on supplies from planetary bases for short-distance voyages. Isn't that the brown water navy that can only fight in inland rivers and near seas!"

"The voyage of the Star Fleet is completely different from the chemical rocket spaceflight of the AD era, and even the space elevator is a completely new way of spaceflight."

"But now, the aerospace industry in the past has controlled too much power in this field, and those people with rigid thinking are too rigid, and there will be endless troubles if this continues." Zhang Beihai said with deep meaning.

Say knew that if she didn't interfere, Zhang Beihai would definitely prepare to kill those old astronauts in space, but in fact she didn't want Zhang Beihai to kill those people.

No matter how much influence they have had on the future development trend, after all, they are also heroes who have made great contributions, and worked hard to start the aerospace industry in the AD era.

As a Wallfacer with great power in his hands, he can solve the problem in a more gentle and efficient way, such as opening a forum where everyone can sit down and talk.

"I personally agree with you, Colonel Zhang. In the face of such a major event as the three-body crisis, the aerospace industry may need a reform, and fresh blood must be injected into the three major fleets."

"For example, the technological concept of space warfare, the concept of combat, and innovations in various aspects. The most important thing is to get rid of the theory of technological victory and technology worship, so that human beings have the belief in defeating the three-body invaders."

"That's why I, like you and the fleet radicals, think that the fusion engine without working fluid is the right way, otherwise we can't drive the nuclear fusion rocket to face the Trisolaran fleet." Say nodded.

"Ms. Say, this sounds like a major event that Wallfacers can do. I'm just a senior colonel, and I can't influence the decision of the high-level. I can only resign myself to this kind of matter."

Obviously Zhang Beihai was implying that Say had attached great importance to non-propellant engines. He needed space battleships capable of stellar navigation no matter what, and he had to get them at all costs.

Because this is the only way for human beings, other ways are dead ends in Zhang Beihai's eyes.

"So that's why I inspected the Asian fleet, found problems and gave suggestions, such as the problems of non-working fluid fusion engines and working fluid fusion engines."

"This is a research direction involving the future Starfleet. As the members of the Wallfacers who were specially selected by human civilization to fight against the Trisolarans, it is impossible not to pay attention to this matter."

"And I personally agree with the research direction of the non-propellant fusion engine, so it is natural to make this suggestion to the fleet executives."

"It means you want to participate in the discussion on the direction of engine research?" Zhang Beihai asked knowingly, this is really a pie in the sky.

It may be that the mainstream defense plan has nothing to do with the Wallfacer project, and no Wallfacers have cared about the research direction of the three major fleets before.

Unexpectedly, the most powerful Wallfacer in front of him now has almost fanatical support for the non-fuel fusion engine like himself.

"That's right, you can't solve this problem, but I can. Why don't you let me talk about this with the Asian Fleet and those in the aerospace industry? Let's exchange opinions."

Zhang Beihai was overjoyed after hearing this, but he hid his joy well and said, "It seems that you also want to support the research direction of the non-fuel fusion engine, right?"

"Yes, but I would like to hear from you and the aerospace industry. After all, I am not engaged in aerospace, and I need some professional advice."

"Don't worry, Ms. Say, I'll go and inform the Asia Fleet about this right now." Zhang Beihai nodded and said, afterward the two shook hands cordially and left.

Looking out of the window at Say, who had gone away under the protection of the army, Zhang Beihai couldn't help showing a smile.

Although Sai looked like a stubborn and absolute victoryist, it was the complete opposite of his idea of ​​escape.

But the two have the same idea of ​​researching radiation-driven spacecraft. Even if they may break up in the future, at least they can cooperate closely now.

It seems that with the support of this powerful Wallfacer, radiation-driven spacecraft will most likely become a future research direction.

Now he can feel at ease under the dark gaze cast by his father.
