Chapter 639: Building a more advanced nuclear submarine and moving towards hypersonic speed

Non-air-based fighters?
Isn't that a reconnaissance plane?
There is no problem with qualifications. You just need to explore for a while and you will be able to master it. It is not a big problem.

This is what Xie Zhenyu thought at the moment, and he has already made preparations in this regard.

However, what Su Dingping said next shocked him greatly.

"Carrier-based fighter jets are indeed a brand new challenge for you. We have never done this before in our country, and you have never been exposed to it either."

“So, you still have a lot to learn.”

"Well, that's it, come on."

After saying that, Su Dingping gently patted Xie Zhenyu on the shoulder and walked away before the other party could react.

The Dark Sword No. 1 successfully completed its maiden flight and passed all the test items. He is familiar with its performance, so there is no need for him to stay here any longer, and there is no need for him to continue to be in command here.

Next, he still had a lot of things to do. It was extremely rare for him to stay here for most of the day, so he put other aspects aside for the time being.

The subsequent data recording, various aspects of consumption, wear and tear of components of Dark Sword No. 1 and other issues were naturally left to Professor Zhang and others to arrange.

As soon as Su Dingping left, Professor Zhang and others immediately felt much more relaxed.

They were immediately divided into two groups and began to work step by step. One group went to Dark Sword No. 1 to conduct a comprehensive examination on him, while the other group walked towards Xie Zhenyu. They were naturally a group of medical staff, who came to give him a full-body examination.

"Xie Zhenyu, how do you feel?"

"Major Xie, during the test flight of Dark Sword No. 1, did you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Which parts do we need to adjust? If you have any questions, you can raise them and we can make improvements later..."

At this moment, Xie Zhenyu seemed to have not heard the voices of these professionals at all, and was still immersed in the shock brought by Su Dingping's words.

Non-air-based fighter, not a reconnaissance aircraft but a living fighter!
Oh my god!

This is a blank area for the three armed forces of the Longxia tribe. No pilot has ever set foot in it before. Doesn't he become the first person to try it?
So, has the carrier-based aircraft already been developed?

He was well aware that the Navy already had the Varyag aircraft carrier, and almost the entire army knew about it.

After all, when the navy was evacuating overseas Chinese, the Air Force also provided support by placing several J-10 fighter jets on the deck as a showpiece. In fact, they had no combat capability at all at the time and were purely bluffing.

Of course, as an ace pilot, he was also on the aircraft carrier at the time to prepare for any eventuality, ready to attack at any time.

Facing so many enemies at that time, the Eagle Tribe sent four aircraft carrier fleets to surround him. He was so nervous inside that he was even ready to take off to meet the enemy.

If a fight really breaks out, he and the other pilots will forcefully take off from the deck. They have not considered whether they can come back alive.

Because this is a battle to defend dignity. We have to do it even if we know it means death!

Fortunately, the commander of the central region of the Eagle Tribe gave in at the critical moment, and the four aircraft carrier fleets retreated at the same time to make way.

Now, after successfully breaking the White Bear Tribe’s comprehensive technological blockade and stranglehold on the Air Force, is it finally going to make a push in the field of carrier-based aircraft?

If this is true, then the Varyag aircraft carrier Liao will no longer be a lone commander, but will have real carrier-based aircraft and will be a truly combat-capable aircraft carrier.

Instead of being used as a helicopter carrier as it is now.

It will be of great help in enhancing naval power!

No matter what, it is also a proper aircraft carrier. Even if it is a mobile airport at sea, it can still launch a powerful attack on the enemy by forming an aircraft carrier fleet!

At this moment, he did not know that the entire navy, even Liu Huaming and Su Dingping, had bigger plans.

For them, the Varyag aircraft carrier is just a beginning, and its symbolic significance is greater. It only means that the Longxia tribe has entered the aircraft carrier club and solved the problem of whether or not to have it.

Especially for Su Dingping, he did not spend much time on this aircraft carrier. At most, he had a full understanding of it inside and out. For Cheng Yiqiang and others' transformation, he just provided technical guidance at most.

The Varyag aircraft carrier is at most a training project for Su Dingping!

In his trance, Xie Zhenyu finally came back to his senses and looked at the people around him.

He answered all the questions raised by Professor Zhang and other researchers one by one.

At the same time, he also understood what Wanlong had meant by what he had said before. It was a sudden change like a rocket, which was really too explosive.

He now has to make a decision, whether to continue staying here and participating in the research project, or to return to the Air Force and continue to be his own ace pilot.

Staying here is a great opportunity. If you leave, you may never have this chance again.

He even felt that once Su Dingping publicly recruited top pilots from the Air Force, more pilots would definitely want to participate. This would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In just a moment, Xie Zhenyu made the decision that he must stay!
As for Su Dingping, he had already arrived at the nuclear weapons research base by car, which was previously in charge of Professor Zhang Qianyi.

After inspecting the base, he sat down and had a good conversation with Professor Zhang Qianyi.

Naturally, there were no other topics but the entire conversation revolved around ballistic missiles. He also learned that the research and development of medium-range ballistic missiles was progressing relatively smoothly.

You know, they have quite a lot of resources in their hands, including the research materials and even manuscripts on the Thunder III intercontinental ballistic missile provided by Mr. Qian, as well as the research materials on the Mach 15 short-range ballistic missile provided by Su Dingping.

Besides, Professor Zhang Qianyi and others are nuclear weapons talents carefully cultivated by Mr. Qian, and they are very smart and talented.

The combination of several important factors naturally has a huge driving force on the research and development of medium-range ballistic missiles, and the progress is quite smooth.

As for handing over such confidential information to Professor Zhang Qianyi for research, Su Dingping was still very relieved and did not have to worry about leaks. For Su Dingping, the Missile Research and Development Center of the Pangu Scientific Research Base naturally included the Pangu Scientific Research Base, and its significance was to cultivate more talents of the next generation!
Of course, Su Dingping did not expect those scientific researchers to do anything groundbreaking. He would be satisfied as long as they could keep up with the pace of the navy's integrated military factory.

As for the development, it will naturally be the responsibility of Su Dingping and the Navy Integrated Military Factory. The Pangu Scientific Research Base will be responsible for the detailed development and implementation of each project and high-tech.

Therefore, as long as he keeps a closer eye on it, Pangu Research Base will have more things to do.

After explaining some things, Su Dingping said goodbye to Professor Zhang Qianyi and took a car back to his office.

After making some tea and taking a few sips, he sat in a chair and rested for a while, then he appeared in the military industry forging space again to continue his research.

The third-generation and a half fighter, the J-11B twin-engine heavy fighter known as the "Flanker Wall", has now reached 75% analysis progress. A breakthrough is imminent, and he is very much looking forward to it.

He believes that with the third-generation wind tunnel, he will be able to conduct all-round aerodynamic layout tests on this fighter to fully explore its performance.

Once the aircraft is upgraded to the next generation fighter jet, that is, the fourth generation, or even the fifth generation, the third generation wind tunnel will not be enough, and more advanced wind tunnel equipment will be needed.

The relevant technologies of the fourth-generation wind tunnel center are in the analysis stage, but the progress is relatively slow.

After inspecting it, Su Dingping came to the ballistic missile standing on the launch tower on the seashore.

There are several ballistic missiles here. In addition to the huge Thunder III-15 intercontinental ballistic missile, there is also a much smaller ballistic missile, which is the Yunfan No. medium-range ballistic missile with a speed of up to Mach !
"Ballistic missiles are really big."

Su Dingping's hands gently stroked the bodies of the two missiles, and he murmured to himself, "It might be possible to use a special truck to tow it. We can build a land-based anti-ship missile based on this."

"But if we want to build a sea-based version, the size will be too large."

"Once equipped, it will inevitably take up more space, squeezing out the space for other conventional missiles."

"It seems that the 052D with a displacement of less than tons is not suitable for the equipment. It can only be equipped on -ton destroyers. It seems that it has really become a special missile for -ton destroyers."

After a brief pause, Su Dingping continued speaking.

"Even so, the number of conventional missiles will have to be reduced, and the 10,000-ton destroyer will need to be upgraded to enable it to be equipped with the Yunfan-1."

Even though it squeezes some space for conventional missiles, it can enable a 10,000-ton destroyer to have the ability to kill aircraft carriers at a long distance, making it very cost-effective to carry out strikes outside the defense zone.

With the ability to launch the Yunfan-1 anti-ship ballistic missile, the Longxia Navy will have the ability to deny areas, completely blocking the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier outside the first island chain.

After pondering for a moment, Su Dingping felt that under the current circumstances, the time was not yet ripe to equip the navy with anti-ship ballistic missiles, as there were still too many areas that were not sound enough.

Besides, the current main task of the navy is to deal with crises in the surrounding waters. There is no need to conduct cross-sea operations for the time being. It only needs to defend the country.

However, technical upgrades to nuclear submarines are a very clever solution.

If the core technology analysis of the pressurized water nuclear reactor on the '13-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier' is completed, that would be great, but it will take some time.

Even with the support of the Thunder-31 intercontinental ballistic missile in the field of nuclear technology, it will still take some time, there is no way around it.

After all, the nuclear reactor inside a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is the most critical and the real jewel in the crown of industry.

If we modify and upgrade submarines, there is naturally no need for conventional power, and we can go directly to nuclear-powered submarines.

Once the core technology of the pressurized water nuclear reactor is analyzed, it can not only be used to transform and upgrade submarines, but also to transform and upgrade them into nuclear-powered 10,000-ton destroyers.

By saving the fuel space, a lot of space can be saved to carry more weapons and ammunition.

On the battlefield, more weapons and ammunition mean that the warship can sustain itself longer and have stronger combat effectiveness!

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but Su Dingping was extremely determined.

"Well, under the current conditions, the key breakthrough direction is still hypersonic missiles!"

"The size of a hypersonic missile is much smaller than that of a ballistic missile. If it is deployed in the navy, it will not take up space for other ordinary missiles, so the impact will naturally not be too great."

"The only regret is that once the pressurized water nuclear reactor technology is analyzed, it will not only be able to upgrade nuclear submarines with larger tonnage, but also turn 1.5-ton destroyers into battleships with unlimited endurance. The volume can be further increased to tons without any problem."

"If it reaches 2 tons, it will be of great significance. It will not only maintain its main body, but also be able to carry more weapons and ammunition. It is a very suitable choice."

"With a larger tonnage and stronger self-sustaining capability, the firepower output of a 10,000-ton destroyer can directly confront a conventional fleet. With several ships combined, an aircraft carrier fleet will have to stay away."

After Su Dingping pondered for a long time, his thoughts became clearer and he had a clearer view of the subsequent plans.

Then he just grabbed it casually, and a lot of information appeared in the void and fell into his hands.

This is what he plans to study next, a hypersonic missile, and it flies at hypersonic speeds throughout the entire process.

In fact, the concept of hypersonic missiles was first proposed by the Eagle Tribe, a technologically advanced military technology project that was proposed only a few years ago.

But proposing it is one thing, and building it is another.

Su Dingping remembered very clearly that in his previous life, it was not until 14 that the Eagle Tribe had military-industrial enterprises take the lead in implementing this advanced weapon concept and made numerous project plans.

The actual launch of the project will take another two years, but it is extremely difficult.

And now Su Dingping has come up with this concept ahead of time, at least ten years ahead of time.

However, the current difficulties are still considerable and it may take some time to resolve them.
