The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Compared with the fifth-generation fighter jets, the sixth-generation fighter jets use sixth-generation aircraft engines with more advanced performance.

The sixth-generation aircraft engines give the sixth-generation fighter jets greater maneuverability, faster speed and longer range.

In addition, the sixth-generation fighter has further enhanced stealth capabilities and optoelectronic avionics devices, and has functions such as intelligent assistance technology and drone coordination.

It can also be said that the sixth-generation fighter jets are based on the Internet and artificial intelligence technologies, achieving true integration of land, sea, air, space and power grids, and realizing interconnection, interoperability and interoperability based on the Internet of Things.

Yang Wei is very confident that the sixth-generation fighter developed by Guizhou Fei Group can easily break through the radar systems and air defense systems of other countries. Radars of other countries will definitely not be able to detect it, and missiles will not easily hit it.

Whether it is the F22 or the F35, they are just sitting ducks in front of this sixth-generation fighter.

As for Russia, it has just renamed the T50 fighter jet to Su-57 fighter jet, and it has only just been delivered to the troops, and only a few have been equipped.

The Su-57 fighter has no advantage at all over the J-20 fighter, not to mention this fighter which is temporarily named "J-20 modified"!

"You kid..." Liu Tao shook his head. Looking at Yang Wei's expression, he knew that Yang Wei was the biggest supporter and promoter of the birth of this 'J-20 modified' fighter.

"Let's build it. The ceremony for the roll-off of the production line should be grand and it can also release a smokescreen to encourage all parties to invest more funds in the development of the sixth-generation fighter." Liu Tao said, "But don't build too many. Building too many will be a waste."

It's fine to make a few to satisfy your own desire, but it would be inappropriate to make more.

This sixth-generation fighter is much more advanced than the fifth-generation fighter, but it cannot be compared with aerospace fighters at all.

The aerospace fighter may not have as fast an initial flight acceleration as the sixth-generation fighter, but it can directly fly at high altitude and high speed, can enter space, launch attacks from space, and does not need to be equipped with air-to-air missiles, but relies on laser cannons to destroy enemy aircraft.

As for speed and range, the sixth-generation fighter jets are incomparable.

It can be said that the aerospace fighter developed based on the "Panshan" spacecraft surpasses the sixth-generation fighter in all aspects.

In the future, aerospace fighters will dominate the sky and space.

As for other fighters and bombers, they are high-end combat forces!

There are currently no aerospace fighters equipped, purely because the production capacity cannot keep up, and priority is given to meeting the needs of the aerospace field.

But in about ten years, things will be different. Aerospace fighters can be mass-produced and delivered to space forces.

You don't need too many aerospace fighters to completely block space. Once a war breaks out, you can directly change your trajectory and attack the target from space at the first time.

As for today's spacecraft, in addition to basic defense measures, more emphasis is placed on scientific research use.

When Yang Wei heard Liu Tao say this, a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you, teacher." Yang Wei said, "Do you think this aircraft should continue to be called 'J-20 modified', or..."

Liu Tao said unhappily, "Don't ask me about such trivial matters. Just make your own decision."

"okay!"

Suburbs of Chang'an.

A huge aerospace base has basically been completed.

This aerospace base was invested and built by Southwest Aerospace Corporation, covers an area of ​​20 square kilometers, and is far away from the city.

China has formed an aerospace industry corridor from Chang'an to Chengdu to Guiyang, which is the core of China's aerospace industry.

It is this aerospace industry corridor that has provided development support for the central and western regions and driven local economic development.

This aerospace base is specifically used to build spacecraft and aerospace fighters!
Liu Tao came here to inspect.

The entire aerospace base was constructed by China Construction Group Corporation with extremely high construction standards.

The design information of the space base is classified as top secret and kept strictly confidential.

In another year or two, this space base will be put into use.

Even now, some factories are installing machines.

The entire aerospace base is very large, but the staff is not large, because it is truly a world-class modern factory, and many of its facilities use robotic intelligent manufacturing.

Liu Tao came to inspect the work, the importance of this aerospace base is beyond doubt.

There are only two such space bases built in the whole of China, one in Chang'an and the other in Chengdu.

Once the two space bases are completed, the 011 Space Base will no longer produce spacecraft.

After all, the positioning of the 011 Aviation Base is aviation industry, not aerospace industry.

Although the two have many similarities, there are still great differences.

The aviation industry only needs to consider what is below the Earth's atmosphere.

The aerospace industry not only has to consider what's below the atmosphere, but also space, the atmosphere and gravity of other planets, etc.

In a sense, in the near future, the importance of the aerospace industry will completely surpass that of the aviation industry.

Compared with the aviation industry, the aerospace industry is more representative and truly represents a country's economic, military and technological level. It is an important symbol of China's comprehensive national strength and national defense strength.

It is for this reason that the decision was made to build these two aerospace industrial bases.

Such an aerospace industrial base is enough to build 30 spacecraft and aerospace fighters of various types!
It seems that this production capacity is not much, but in fact it is already very large.

Currently in the world, only China, the United States, Russia and the European Union can be said to have aerospace industries!

No other country or alliance has this capability.

As for the most developed and largest aerospace industry, it is no longer the United States, but China.

China has overtaken the US aerospace industry.

After several years of construction, this aerospace industrial base has begun to take shape.

"Leader, you have to go back to Beijing." The secretary trotted over and whispered.

"Oh? What happened?" Liu Tao asked.

"There has been a huge change in Persia," the secretary whispered.

Liu Tao immediately took a special plane back to Beijing.

A high-level meeting was held shortly after Liu Tao arrived.

At the beginning of the meeting, the specific situation in Persia was introduced.

There has long been a pro-American faction in Persia, which has a great influence and a deep foundation. In the Pahlavi era, Persia was the most staunch ally of the United States in the Middle East. The only country to which the United States sold F14 fighter jets was Persia, and even Israel was unable to import F14 fighter jets at that time.

It can be said that the final rise to power of the Islamic Revolution in Persia was largely accidental.

Persia has two armed forces, the National Defense Force and the Revolutionary Guard. Because of its reliance on the professional ability of soldiers, Persia cannot abolish the National Defense Force, but the theocracy does not trust the National Defense Force, so it created the Revolutionary Guard. The core function of the Revolutionary Guard is to protect the theocracy, especially to keep an eye on the National Defense Force.

But now, a huge change has occurred. The Persian change has suddenly attracted the attention of the world.

After all, Persia is located in the Persian Gulf, which has an extremely important strategic position. It holds 63% of the world's crude oil reserves and is one of the busiest shipping regions in the world. Due to its strategic location, the Persian Gulf has become an important global shipping route, connecting the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, and is one of the main channels for global oil transportation. Any disturbance in the Persian Gulf will immediately be reflected in the price fluctuations in the oil and gas market.

As the second largest military power in the Persian Gulf and the largest populous country, Persia has always been one of the most important players in the Persian Gulf region.

Persia is also one of the only two countries capable of blockading the Persian Gulf.

The changes in Persia have attracted worldwide attention.

This kind of influence is far beyond the reach of Australia.

Sadr loudly announced that his regime is legitimate and will engage in all-round cooperation with Europe and the United States.

Sadr went to study at Oxford University at the age of 18, graduated from Oxford University at the age of 22, and went to Harvard University for further studies, where he received a doctorate degree. He is a typical pro-European and American person, and the leader of the pro-European and American faction in Persia.

There has always been a very interesting phenomenon in Persia.

Persia has a bad official relationship with the United States and has long been sanctioned by the United States. However, although the superficial political correctness of Persia is anti-American, in fact, many high-level officials are pro-Europe and pro-American, and the people are extremely pro-European and American to a large extent. They like to emphasize their "Aryan" blood and identity, and think that they are the same race as white people in Europe and America, and look down on other so-called "people of color".

Persia has attempted more than once to ease relations with the United States and become an ally of the United States again.

It’s just that the United States has always been unwilling to agree to Persia’s previous requests.

And now, under the world situation, changes have taken place within Persia.

Israel recognized Sadr at the first opportunity and praised Sadr for his outstanding contributions to world democracy and freedom.

As for the changes in Persia, countries around the world have carried out special reports, because the impact of this matter is really too great.

No matter how highly we evaluate it, it cannot be overstated.

China is no exception, with CCTV and other television stations launching special reports.

You can imagine how staggering the traffic for this event was.

After the meeting, Liu Tao did not leave the capital directly, but stayed in the capital to accompany his parents.

"How could Persia be so unwise? What's the difference between throwing itself into the arms of the United States now and throwing itself into the arms of the National Army in 1949!" Liu Zhenbang watched CCTV's special report in disbelief.

Look at it now, this change in Persia has immediately pushed itself to the opposite side of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Kurdish, Iraq and other countries, all of which are against the United States to a large extent.

It can be said that we were surrounded by enemies on all sides at once.

As for Israel, the situation has been greatly alleviated.

"Alas, although I was prepared, I was still caught off guard when it really happened!" Liu Tao shook his head.

To be honest, the internal problems of Persia are no secret and everyone knows them.

For many years, China has been Persia's largest trading partner.

There is a lot of cooperation between the two sides.

Naturally, I also have a better understanding of the situation in Persia.

Over the years, Persia has exported a considerable amount of oil and natural gas every year and has made a lot of money from energy exports.

Part of this money was used to build up national defense, part was used for infrastructure, and part was used to import goods needed by Persia, including food!
From an outsider's perspective, Persia has made great progress compared to the past.

It is even close to achieving preliminary industrialization.

In about 10 to 15 years, Persia could become a preliminarily industrialized country.

But from the perspective of Persia, what they have always reported is the development of Europe and the United States, and that Europe and the United States are paradise.

Coupled with the upper class's indulgent lifestyle, this gave Sadr a golden opportunity.

This time, it can actually be seen as a follow-up impact of the 'Arab Spring'.

The 'Arab Spring' affected not only Arabia, but also Persia.

"If it rains, it will. If my mother wants to get married, just let it be. You will regret it later." Liu Tao said.

Since you have made the choice, you will naturally pay the corresponding price in the future.

"Will the investment be affected?" Liu Zhenbang asked.

"Not in the short term, but it's hard to say in the future." Liu Tao said, "We will make changes in this regard to minimize the losses as much as possible."

China occupies the vast majority of the motorcycle and automobile markets in Persia. The same situation also exists in other areas.

It is precisely because of the huge trade volume between the two countries that sometimes it is not enough for Persia to just export energy, but it also has to export some gold and the like.

However, China’s largest investment in the Middle East has not been in Persia, but in Saudi Arabia!

"Once this change occurs, instability will increase, and energy prices will inevitably rise, which is not a good thing." Liu Tao said, "Trump is too unconventional. This is simply the biggest uncertainty in the world."

China is the world's largest energy consumer and importer today.

For China, maintaining stable low oil prices is naturally the best option.

High and unstable oil prices are definitely not what China wants to see.

The first to react to this change were international oil and natural gas prices.

Of course, in the short term, this will not have a significant impact on China, because China often chooses to sign long-term supply contracts.

But oil prices have risen too high, and energy suppliers are inevitably feeling unbalanced and want to raise prices.

"You are already retired, so don't pay too much attention to this aspect. You might as well exercise well and travel to space after the Spring Festival next year." Liu Tao said.

Liu Zhenbang is now 87 years old, and will be 88 next year.

It is still possible to go to space in the next few years, but it will not be suitable when you are older.

And at such an old age, he can't stay in space for too long.

"Will it be inappropriate and waste resources?" Liu Zhenbang said with some concern. "My legs are almost in the coffin. It would be bad if I waste national resources."

"Don't worry, old man. There will be some old comrades there by then." Liu Tao smiled, "Just enjoy your space trip, go to space and the moon to see the earth, and see the stars in the universe."

"No need to go to training?" Liu Zhenbang asked.

"No, you just need to stay healthy, it's just like flying on a plane." Liu Tao said, "The current spacecraft is different from the previous Shenzhou spacecraft. It is not launched by rockets."

Both the 'Panshan' spacecraft and the 'Yuegui' spacecraft are constantly accelerating and rising, and it takes a relatively long time for the body to have an adaptation process.

This means that people don’t need to have too many restrictions. (End of this chapter)
