Genius is just the threshold for me!

"Cough cough—"

Lin Weiliang blushed slightly upon hearing Wang Xingguo's words.

Lin Dong's original plan was simply to airdrop drones to chase and bomb the target.

However, because he had more contact with the Army Ministry and was more familiar with the Army's combat methods, he further proposed a plan to increase the use of close-range landmines to bomb reinforcements.

"War is about inflicting maximum casualties on the enemy with minimal cost..."

Compared to Lin Weiliang's embarrassment, Lin Dong calmly continued to explain: "This drone weighs 2.5 kilograms each, and the cabin can store 9120 drones."

However, due to space limitations and the need for specially designed launch racks, the maximum number that can actually be stored is 7800...

在9000米高度投放，无人机看风向可以滑翔20至60公里，战场散布直径15至25公里。

Because airdrops don't require high battery life and don't need to be sped up by the motor, the battery capacity was reduced and the motor performance was downgraded, but the infrared sensor, camera, and control chip were upgraded.

If the control system is considered separately, the hardware cost for mass production is approximately 240 to 250 yuan, which is several tens of yuan cheaper than infrared tracking drones.

These airdrop drones were designed with the problem of stacking in narrow spaces in mind. When the drones are folded up, they can overlap each other, and the gliding direction can be controlled by adjusting the moving blades with micro-motors.

"It's even a few tens of yuan cheaper than an infrared tracking drone..."

Wang Xingguo, Xu Ziming, and Jiao You were at a loss for words and could only look down at the file parameters that Lin Dong handed them.

"Wait, Xiao Dong..."

Xu Ziming carefully read through two pages, then suddenly noticed something and looked up in confusion, asking, "This bomber only has an AESA phased array radar and a fire control radar, but no synthetic aperture radar to scan ground or sea targets?"

Although bombers are not reconnaissance aircraft, they do not need to capture aircraft carriers or search for high-value targets, nor do they need to scout enemy terrain, etc.

However, it also requires a high-performance synthetic aperture radar to ensure that it can accurately deliver strikes and perform all-weather combat missions.

But now, the solution Lin Dong provided doesn't include synthetic aperture radar...

In rainy, foggy, cloudy weather, or at night, the entire bomber would become blind on the ground, unable to see the situation there at all.

"Laser interception systems need tracking radar, and there isn't enough space to install synthetic aperture radar. However, there's a better alternative, which you'll see on the next page..."

Lin Dong gave a simple explanation.

With the breakthrough in gallium nitride radar technology, a gallium nitride synthetic aperture radar used on a bomber weighs just over 100 kilograms, which is very light for the size of a bomber.

However, compared to ground reconnaissance, bomber interception systems require tracking radar more, which reduces the installation space available for synthetic aperture radar.

But the solution to this problem is quite simple...

"A loyal wingman?"

Upon hearing Lin Dong's words, Xu Ziming turned to the next page, glanced at it, and exclaimed in surprise, "It can directly cooperate with the WZ-8 in operations?"

"Up to eight loyal wingmen can coordinate and fly together, and can also be deployed with additional payloads. The Hot-Spicy-2, the J-1, and the WZ-8 can be directly adapted, and other Sharp Sword UAVs can also be adapted with improved control systems..."

Wang Xingguo also flipped to this point, and after reading it, he suddenly looked up at Lin Dong, his expression full of surprise, and said: "Is this the combat system of the sixth-generation fighter jet?"

"When encountering enemy aircraft, just send the supersonic 'Hot-Blooded 2' and the loyal J-1 wingman to engage them, ganging up on multiple targets. Even when entering enemy territory, the loyal wingman can scout ahead while the fighter jets drop missiles and ammunition from the rear?"

"Godfather, not quite, or rather, only partially."

Lin Dong shook his head and explained, "A true sixth-generation fighter jet is not only a powerful fighter, but also a front-line combat command. It can quickly mobilize support from the sea, land, and air, and make decisions rapidly under an intelligent system."

The information and intelligence of this red ghost cannot keep up. Loyal wingmen need to be taken with them when taking off. The wingmen's combat and reconnaissance range cannot exceed 300 kilometers. At the same time, long-range forces cannot be mobilized quickly, and the decision-making and combat must be completed by the operators inside.

The scale of the entire system, as well as its response speed and reaction speed, are all several levels below.

The combat system of sixth-generation fighter jets is based on the combat skull system and the thousand-armed Guanyin system.

Simply put, it's because the Warhead System makes intelligent decisions, and the Thousand-Hand Guanyin System collects battlefield information.

Sixth-generation fighter jets can quickly mobilize long-range forces and rapidly formulate offensive or defensive tactics based on the rapidly changing situation on the front lines.

Because this decision was made by the Warhead Intelligence System, the entire response and arrangement process can be controlled within two or three minutes, and even further controlled within one minute as the system performance is further improved.

However, when the Red Ghost bomber encounters an emergency, it still requires human decision-making, manual relocation, and manual arrangements.

In modern combat training, an elite unit is considered to be able to complete the entire response and deployment process within twenty minutes.

In the ever-changing battlefield, such a difference in response time can mean the difference between life and death.

In addition, the Red Ghost bomber can only take over information from itself and its wingman. Unlike sixth-generation fighters, it cannot connect to the Thousand-Hand Guanyin system to obtain information from thousands of miles away. Its battlefield awareness and attitude sensing capabilities are far inferior.

"I see……"

After listening to Lin Dong's explanation, Wang Xingguo immediately understood the difference, but his expression was still one of surprise and delight: "But this loyal wingman system is considered part of the sixth-generation fighter system."

"So once the bombers are built, we can have them practiced with the military. This will allow us to test the sixth-generation fighter's combat system in real combat and familiarize ourselves with future combat methods in advance..."

Wang Xingguo paused for a moment as he spoke.

Looking at the documents in his hand and recalling all the combat platforms Lin Dong had described, he suddenly looked up and asked, "Xiao Dong, so... does this still count as a bomber? What should I say when I report the plan to the headquarters?"

"Who says it's not a bomber?"

Lin Dong pulled out the bomber requirements list that Wang Xingguo had brought over last time, provided by headquarters, and said seriously, "Bomb load capacity 25 to 30 tons, range 13000 kilometers, stealth design, capable of carrying conventional cruise missiles, precision-guided bombs, and nuclear warhead cruise missiles..."

Look at this requirements list from headquarters. Apart from the slightly flawed hidden design, which of the rest is not met? Which one has not been exceeded?

Even with stealth design, the current tailless delta wing + twin vertical tail design has a very small radar cross-section.

With the addition of an electronic anti-tank system, and thanks to the generational advantage of gallium nitride, it can still meet operational requirements... not to mention we also have three super combat platforms: laser interception, drone airdrop, and loyal wingmen!

"Well!"

Wang Xingguo paused for a moment: "That's what you say, but we still need to explain why the plan has turned out this way."

"Then Godfather, just say it directly."

Lin Dong remained calm and said with an air of wealth and arrogance, "If headquarters disagrees with this stealth plan, then I'll just build it myself for fun."

As for the large bombers requested by headquarters, we already have the raw data.

I spent two days revising the design, removing the twin vertical tails and creating a flying wing-like structural stealth...

However, this would increase the manufacturing cost by 40%, maintenance costs by 500%, and reduce the payload by 30%, which would just meet the requirement of 25 tons. The engine performance would be reduced by 15% due to the stealth structure, and the range would be reduced by about 2000 kilometers.

The laser interception system suffered from reduced engine performance and insufficient power supply, necessitating the removal of two laser interceptors, which significantly reduced its efficiency.

Because of the need for stealth, loyal wingmen cannot carry external payloads, and the WZ-8 and J-1 fighters lack sufficient range, so the combat radius of wingmen would be reduced by 50%...

"That would leave him crippled!"

Wang Xingguo's eyes widened. If he hadn't heard the first plan at the beginning, he would have been very happy with the structural concealment plan that Lin Dong mentioned.

But now, in comparison.

Lin Dong's second plan would definitely turn him into a cripple and a sick man, and a precious one at that.

"I'll handle it. If they disagree, I'll slam my fist on their table and call the National Security Bureau!" Wang Xingguo said firmly.

"Engineer Wang, what does this have to do with the National Security Bureau?" Jiao You couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"Disagreeing with good solutions and insisting on choosing inferior ones not only wastes national resources but also undermines national defense strategy..."

Wang Xingguo calmly said, "This gives me reason to suspect that he has become a ghost. Since there has been a ghost incident at headquarters, we need to be even more vigilant."

"..."

After Wang Xingguo finished speaking, Lin Weiliang, Xu Ziming, and Lin Dong from the laboratory all gave him a thumbs up.

"Xiao Dong!"

Wang Xingguo seemed to have thought of something at this moment. Looking at the plan in his hand, he turned to Lin Dong and said solemnly, "If this bomber rolls off the production line and performs test flights in actual combat, it can really achieve the combat effects you are describing... The core personnel who sacrificed their lives in the J-20 fighter jet, which you asked about before, can be released from quarantine ahead of schedule."

The personnel killed in the J-20 fighter jet accident have been released from quarantine ahead of schedule...

As soon as Wang Xingguo said this, the entire laboratory fell silent. Xu Ziming's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

"Is it really possible to lift the lockdown ahead of schedule?"

Lin Weiliang said in disbelief, "It hasn't even been three years yet..."

"As long as this plan works in actual combat, there won't be any problems." Wang Xingguo pointed to the plan in his hand.

Lin Dong was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said seriously, "Godfather, there won't be any problems."
