Chapter 833 Do you want to intercept an asteroid?
Among the three projects, the most technically difficult and the most expensive must be the electromagnetic gun. This project fell directly on Mingzhou Group, and Qin Tao did not refuse.

The group has grown and grown, and has made a lot of profits. What do you use the money for?Personal enjoyment?Or continue to engage in monopoly, penetrate into all aspects of society, and in the end even the people's food baskets will not be spared?
Of course not.

In order to live meaningfully in one's life, if you have more money, you must have a sense of responsibility for the country and society, and do good and practical things.

Qin Tao thought of a star he liked, who made a lot of bad movies and was the hardest in the entertainment industry. He was very frugal and even ate instant noodles on the plane. However, he donated more than 100 primary schools in the mountainous area in obscurity.Those who are truly charitable never announce what they have done in a high-profile manner. When it is exposed, they will be slandered by some people with ulterior motives.But he is generous, and he has a clear conscience when he does these things.

Now, the development of Mingzhou Group has long been tied to the motherland, so it is worthwhile to invest in research and development by yourself for the strength of the country! (Well, the character of the protagonist is somewhat similar to Dad, I don’t know if he will continue to be called the Holy Mother.)
Mr. Liu from the Air Force finished his summary and continued to ask: "Now, do you have any comments?"

"Of course, our meeting is only halfway through." Qin Tao said.

only half?
The big guys stared at each other, not knowing what else Qin Tao was talking about.

"President Qin, you can preside over the meeting for us next, and let's hear your opinion." Elder Liu said.

"It's not a good idea, it's just that some things that need to be arranged need to be arranged in advance." Qin Tao said: "The first project is the asteroid interception."

Everyone's eyes widened: "Intercept the asteroid?"

This is definitely a Hollywood sci-fi movie!
"Yes, everyone should know how the dinosaurs became extinct, right?"

"There are many theories about the extinction of the dinosaurs. It is generally accepted that the extinction of the dinosaurs at that time was caused by an asteroid with a diameter of 10 kilometers hitting the earth, which directly changed the environment and climate on the earth and led to the extinction of reptiles. However, this situation is not many. After all, in our solar system, there is a huge gaseous planet Jupiter. Many times, it can attract asteroids entering the solar system to itself. In 94, the most spectacular comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 split into 21 pieces and hit Jupiter. The scene on the star, the largest one has a diameter of 1.6 kilometers, the energy of the impact is more than all the nuclear weapons on the earth combined, and the gaseous vortex formed after the impact is enough to hold the entire earth." Wu Lao took over the conversation.

"President Qin, your idea is to use our own ability to change the orbit of the asteroid, so that when it falls on the earth, it just hits the enemy's city?"

This bold question immediately made everyone gasp, sci-fi, this is definitely a scene that can only be seen in sci-fi movies!

A stone fell from the sky and destroyed the city. This should be a natural disaster. I didn't expect it to be a man-made disaster. If our own side has this ability, wouldn't it be equivalent to Shangdi in the West?
"How could it be?" Qin Tao smiled: "Isn't that anti-human? We are peace-loving, and we will protect our home, the earth. If we find an asteroid that may fall on our earth, we need to send a spacecraft there in advance, and use the impact method to change the orbit of the asteroid, so as to avoid a disaster. However, if our technology is not advanced enough, the asteroid's orbit is abnormal, and it finally falls on a city in a certain country, it is their bad luck. Accept your fate."

Mr. Qin is always so powerful.

Everyone sighed.

"President Qin, from a technical point of view, is this plan feasible?" Elder Wu asked.

"Mr. Wu, isn't that what your comrades in the aerospace department should do in terms of technology?" Qin Tao said: "I'm just putting forward an idea, and there's no need to worry too much about it. It may take ten or twenty years to develop it and make it achievable. Now that the war in space has begun, we must have a good technical reserve. We are behind in anti-missile, and we can't fall behind in other areas."

Qin Tao remembers clearly that just before he came to this world, in his original time and space, the beautiful country launched the DART asteroid defense aircraft, and successfully hit a double asteroid system 1100 million kilometers away from the earth after flying for ten months. This was just a test, but the meaning behind it was very significant. The war between spear and shield has developed into space!If one's own side does not have this technology, it may fall behind and be beaten.

"Right now, the rocket with the highest thrust in our country is from the Starship Company. If we really want to fly to an asteroid, then the Starship Company's rocket is the most suitable." After a short period of contemplation, Mr. Wu made an analysis and judgment.

Is this kicking the ball back?

Qin Tao smiled. Since Max came back last time, he has drawn a clear line with that side. Now that he is given a mission to save the earth, he will definitely be obliged.

Running to Mars is very important, and protecting the earth is equally important. Even if Max has only one ideal, he will never give up this opportunity to make his reputation even louder.Moreover, this can also counterattack the Americans. When Max came back, there was no big move yet.

"Okay, then this project will be handed over to us, but the aerospace system must also help, after all, we only make rockets."

There is a difference between making rockets and doing spaceflight. Strictly speaking, building rockets is only a part of doing spaceflight. The measurement and control of spaceflight requires the cooperation of various departments.

"Boss Qin, this is just one, is there a second one?"

"The second project has nothing to do with technology, but mainly a strategic issue." Qin Tao said.

Hearing what he said, Wu Shengli started fighting on it haha: "It's getting late today, everyone is tired and hungry, let's stop here for the meeting, everyone go to eat together!"

Everyone also stood up and went to the cafeteria, but there were still some people who did not leave.

After all the people who were supposed to leave had left, Mr. Liu said, "Boss Qin, what is the strategic layout? Tell us about it."

"The idea of ​​the American TMD system is to deploy anti-missiles at the door of other people's homes, so that they can be directly destroyed on the ascent of the missiles." Qin Tao said: "They will be able to obtain absolute safety. Guess, if such a thing is deployed, where is it suitable?"

Everyone thought about it.

"South Kimchi Country?" Wu Shengli asked.

"That's right, South Kimchi Country is the most suitable. Whether it's ours or Da Mao's missiles, as long as they take off, they will be monitored by them, and even our planes will be tracked and monitored by them during normal training."

"Huh, they dare!" An officer clenched his fists.

"It's not a question of daring, but a question of how we should deal with it once this happens." Qin Tao said: "If they arrange it, then we will do the same."

Follow the same pattern?

Everyone looked at Qin Tao expectantly. President Qin is very powerful. This is planning ahead for the next five, ten, or even 20 years.

"Cuba?" Wu Shengli continued to ask.

There is a tacit understanding between the Weng and the son-in-law!Elder Liu felt emotional from the sidelines. Afterwards, he was still very worried: "The Red Empire did it back then, but it ended up walking away in disgrace."

"We don't really want to arrange it, but just to contain it. If they dare to arrange it, we will arrange it, just like the current nuclear-powered submarine. If they want to sell it, we will sell it. Now the Americans are silent, right?"

There is indeed no more to this matter, and the Americans also have to consider whether it will be good for them if nuclear power technology spreads everywhere!

Moreover, the world is fair. If they want to accuse the East, they must first look at what dirty things they have done.

"That's right, we need to plan ahead." Mr. Liu nodded, "However, how should we operate?"

"The specific operation, of course, is to start a good relationship with Cuba now. The MiG-29 they have has been exposed to wind and sun for ten years. It is estimated that there are not many of them that can fly. We can sell our domestic aircraft to them."

Cuba still has a lot of good things on hand. In 89, Cuba decided to purchase 12 MiG-29 single-seaters and 2 two-seaters. The acquisition of this aircraft also gave Cuba the strongest air force in Latin America. Unfortunately, it is said that the Red Empire is gone before it is fully delivered.

"Boss Qin, are you planning to sell them the fourth-generation stealth machine?" Everyone was a little puzzled. If you sold it, would the Yankee be furious?

"No, they don't have the funds either. For them, the K-8 or L-15 is already the best choice. The trainer is more suitable for them."

Cuba has no money, so the procurement department has purchased advanced fighter jets. The trainer planes are cheap and allow them to train pilots. More importantly, when needed, these planes can also attach missiles to attack the ground. Of course, if a fight really happens, these forces will probably have to be reimbursed soon, but it is usually enough to intercept a small plane or something.

"That's right, that's it. Mr. Qin's proposal is very good!" Elder Liu also nodded.

"Next, we will contact the Cuban side. We also hope that our country will be ready to complete another arms sale." Wu Shengli said: "Speaking of it, the L-15 trainer is really good."

"Really? How is the progress of this project?" Qin Tao is also very interested.

There are two domestic advanced trainer aircraft projects, one is the JJ[-] of Yunma Factory, which is easier to improve, so it has entered active service in the army soon. With the entry of a large number of third-generation aircraft, the navy and air force are facing a lot of training tasks. It is very suitable to use advanced trainer aircraft to save the cost of two-seater fighters.

However, no matter how the JJ[-] is modified, it is still the foundation of the second-generation aircraft, and it cannot imitate the characteristics of the third-generation aircraft. This requires a more advanced third-generation trainer aircraft.

Back then, with the help of Qin Tao, the 320 factory spent 880 million to buy back the full set of materials of the Yak-130 from the Yakovlev Design Bureau, and then improved the domestic high-level education machine on the basis of these materials, and then invited Oleg Demchenko, the original aerodynamic designer of the Yak-130, back.

Later, Mingzhou Group established Genghis Khan Aviation, and with a suitable engine to provide for the trainer, the L-5 trainer was on the fast track. However, Qin Tao has never visited it, and he does not know how the project is progressing.

"The trainer model of this project has completed all the flight test subjects, and then they are working on the attack model, hoping to make this aircraft more versatile. By the way, haven't you seen it at the last air show?"

Airshow?Qin Tao thought about it in his memory, but he really hadn't seen it much.

"It seems that it's time to go and have a look this time." Qin Tao said: "If Cuba wants to purchase, it is estimated that there is no money for a one-time purchase. Our Mingzhou Group can help provide loans, and there will be more cooperative relationships in the future."

The time has entered June, and the south has become hot. In the drizzle, Qin Tao came to the 320 factory.

"President Qin, when our L-15 made its first flight, we planned to invite you to come over. Later, we heard that you were abroad, so we gave up." Mr. Shi greeted him and said excitedly: "The success of the L-15 has made our 320 factory's position in the field of trainer aircraft more stable. Now, we are already an internationally renowned supplier of trainer aircraft!"

The trainer aircraft market in the world is huge, but there are not many companies producing trainer aircraft. The 320 factory started to produce K-8, which opened a good road to export. It is from this kind of independent research and development that it has tasted the sweetness.

However, after all, they are just an ordinary aircraft factory with weak scientific research capabilities. If there is no external help, they may experience twists and turns. It is with the help of President Qin that they have gone very smoothly on this road. They are very grateful to President Qin.

"Well, I have too many things to do. I have wanted to come here for a long time. I didn't have the chance until now. By the way, where is our plane?"

"President Qin, come to the production line first and see how the planes we are producing? Some of them are being installed with engines, and they are all produced by Genghis Khan Aviation."

Qin Tao nodded, and walked into the workshop under the leadership of Shi Lao.

Behind the small nose is a cockpit with a low front and a high rear. This layout allows both pilots in the front and rear to have the best view. The price is high resistance and a smaller nose. This kind of nose is destined to be unable to install a large-caliber radar.

However, the main task of the L-15 is to train pilots and drop bombs when needed. This kind of aircraft does not need air combat, and of course it does not need such a large-caliber radar.

Below the cockpit is the side wing, which is also a feature of the third-generation aircraft. The high angle of attack performance of the fighter is improved by pulling the eddy current through the side strip. It can make many actions that the JJ[-] cannot do.

Below the wing is the air intake, the layout is perfect, and then behind is the fuselage and empennage.

"The overall layout is very similar to the Yak-130. In fact, several high-level training aircraft in the world are very similar. However, we have our own trick. Our trainer aircraft has modified the rear fuselage and installed an afterburner engine. It can fly up to Mach 1.4. For pilots, experiencing supersonic flight on a trainer aircraft can greatly reduce the cost of using a two-seat fighter."

Qin Tao nodded. Mingzhou Group also has an aviation project. Of course, he knows how expensive his aircraft is to fly, so he uses a simulator if he can use a simulator, and a trainer aircraft if he can use it. Advanced higher education aircraft has become an inevitable choice for the modern air force.

"It can not only train the pilots of the third-generation aircraft, but also the pilots of the fourth-generation aircraft. We have input the characteristics of the fourth-generation aircraft into its flight control law, and the pilots can experience the flight of the fourth-generation aircraft on it." Shi Lao continued.

"This is the benefit of digital telex." Qin Tao praised: "Although I spent a lot of money from the Yakovlev Design Bureau, the things I bought back are still worth the money. By the way, where is Demchenko?"

L-15 can complete the trial production so quickly, in addition to purchasing semi-finished products, there is also the help of Lao Maozi, especially this Demchenko.

"He is studying the L-15 attack aircraft improvement project, and he is still busy in another workshop. We can see him after we finish our visit here."

"Is he all right here?"

"Of course, he is the deputy chief designer of our aircraft, and he is very busy every day. By the way, his family has also come to the East. Several sons are studying in the staff school in our factory."

"Where's his wife?"

"His wife looked after the children at home, came to us and gave birth to two more. He is very satisfied with our life in the East."

five?
Qin Tao sighed that he had to bring Xiaoling over to see how foreigners gave birth to children.

"Oh, so that's the case." Qin Tao nodded: "Let's go, let's go directly to another workshop to have a look."

The workshop here is mainly engaged in production work, and it is very spacious. More than a dozen L-15s are being assembled at the same time, which represents how prosperous this fighter is. Another workshop is engaged in research and development, and a large group of people are busy around a prototype of L-15.

"We can't make our L-15 have the strongest combat capability only by equipping the photoelectric targeting pod. I think it is necessary to install a radar on the nose!" A strange voice sounded. Although it was in Eastern dialect, it was obviously not very fluent.

"The photoelectric targeting pod is already very good. The current main force in our country does not have a radar. We don't need to install a radar, right? Moreover, our nose is too small, and we can only install a radar with a diameter of [-] to [-] mm. Now there is no fire control radar of this level in China. If we ask relevant units to develop it for us independently, the price will be very high." Tao Fei said from the side.

A trainer plane can be used as an attack plane at most, why use radar?There is no ready-made in the country.

"No, no, radar is very important. For example, with radar, our aircraft can have the ability to avoid terrain. Let the radar work in synthetic aperture mode, and then link with our operating system. Everyone, since we want to do it, we must do our best. Our L-15 must become an advanced attack aircraft. In your country, at least it must be able to completely replace the top five!"

Domestic military aircraft are developing rapidly, and there are third-generation and fourth-generation aircraft, but there is no replacement model for Qiangwu.

With the development of technology, many fighter jets can carry bombs to attack. There is less and less demand for professional attack aircraft, and there are no new substitutes specially developed in China.

Demchenko saw this opportunity. Although the L-15 is a trainer attack aircraft, it must be more advanced than a professional attack aircraft, so that it can have more customers!
Side wing, cutting-point delta wing, three-axis four-degree redundant digital telex, one-level three-down glass cockpit, hands-on operation, these are all available, as long as they are used, they are the most advanced attack aircraft.

Demchenko is obsessed. You know, the Yakovlev Design Bureau was also brilliant back then, and the Yak fighter is the king of the sky!It was only later that it gradually declined and was marginalized. Now, Demchenko still has ideals in his heart, hoping to make his aircraft the most performant.

"Mr. Demchenko, don't you still want it to have air combat capability?" A technician said.

"Of course, with the radar, air combat is of course possible, and medium-range air-to-air missiles and close-range combat missiles can be transplanted. You probably don't know that there are still many Asian, African and Latin American countries that are poor and cannot afford modern fighter jets? Our aircraft is their best choice!"

"That's right, Mr. Demchenko is right." Amid the debate among the crowd, a voice came from outside.

Demchenko raised his head and saw Qin Tao, immediately excited: "Mr. Qin, are you here? Why didn't you notify in advance? I'll pick you up at the door."

Qin Tao's itinerary is a secret, not many people in the factory know about it, and Demchenko is busy with work, so Mr. Shi didn't inform him. Now, when he sees Qin Tao, he has met his reborn parents. Without Qin Tao, he would not be where he is today.

"No need, it's raining outside." Qin Tao said: "Your idea is very good. The L-15 can be sold as a high-end trainer attack aircraft and a low-end fighter. This time we contacted a Latin American customer. After they come, once they find your fighter, you will have more funds. You can use this fund to customize the radar."

Have foreign customers?Everyone is overjoyed.
