From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 318 The remaining problems of the sixth generation machine
Not long after, the huge lecture theater was already full of people.

Previously, Zhouyi originally wanted to focus on the distribution of the sixth-generation aircraft engines.
But there are so many people. According to Academician Ma, all the researchers of the sixth-generation aircraft have arrived.
Zhouyi only had to be changed temporarily, and it became a discussion of the entire sixth-generation machine.

This meeting is expected to last for several days.

A week can be considered a success.

Zhou Yi held the microphone and said in a solemn tone:

"The technologies of the sixth-generation fighter jets were roughly divided into 9 to 10.
Our Chongqing Institute of Higher Education has done most of it, including the stealth capability of aircraft, large-scale integrated sensors, artificial intelligence technology, network attack capabilities, and the ability to form a mixed formation of manned aircraft and drones. "

Everyone listened to the achievements that have been made, and these achievements have already brought about a leap forward when they are loaded on the fifth-generation fighter jets.
If the remaining directions are successful, it will definitely change the world.

"So far, we have overcome advanced optoelectronics again.

Advanced optoelectronic technology is also one of the technical features of the sixth-generation aircraft, which is also a requirement for the application of intelligent skins on the sixth-generation aircraft.

It is well known that conventional electronics may give way to photonics, with a multiplexed fiber optic bus connecting all systems,

Reduce the number of connecting wires on board, and because it can work with different wavelengths, it can transmit large amounts of data faster, and the weight of the wiring harness will be much less.

Fiber is also resistant to interference or false data, and is less vulnerable to cyberattacks. "

Academician Ma on the side added:

"This is also one of the core technologies of our current fifth-generation new fighter jet,

It is also one of the main means of resisting electronic interference and network interference. "

Zhou Yi nodded, continued to hold the microphone and said:
"So there are three more in front of us. To be precise, there are four technologies that we need to solve."

"High-sonic flight, adaptive variable-cycle engines, morphing capabilities, and directional weapons."

"The most important of these is the adaptive variable cycle engine."

Zhou Yi said slowly.

In addition to various experts and professors, there were also many generals and military experts present.

The development of the sixth-generation aircraft is closely related to the comprehensive strength of a country.

It is a big killer and a super magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

"Flying at high speed of sound not only refers to the performance of fighter jet engines, but also the performance of missiles,

If you want not to be intercepted, you have to be fast enough, and if you want to hit the enemy quickly, you have to be fast enough. "

"Hypersonic missiles, everyone here is also aware that Tsarist Russia, Europe, the United States, North Korea, island countries, Australia and other countries are all researching, and we are also researching,

The first time Tsarist Russia used hypersonic missiles was in that war, probably on March 2022, 3. "

"It is a ship-borne hypersonic cruise missile capable of flying at Ma6-8 speeds.

It adopts a two-stage propulsion design, the first stage is a solid rocket motor booster, and the second stage is a scramjet engine using liquid fuel. "

Zhou Yi gave a brief introduction.

Then began to introduce other content,
"Deformation technology is a potential development direction of the aerodynamic layout of the sixth-generation fighter.

That is, by changing the shape, the best aerodynamic performance of the aircraft under different flight conditions can be realized.

Thereby improving flight performance, expanding equipment functions, and providing high economy and combat effectiveness. "

"This is also the technology we need to overcome, but this content will be done by the person in charge before,

As for the required drawing software and the principles of mathematical geometry, there will be close cooperation with professors from the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and the Institute of Mathematics of Chongqing Higher Education Institute. "

The sixth-generation fighter cannot be transformed, so it is not worthy of being called the sixth-generation fighter.

Now that the talents, equipment, and technology are all in place, there is no problem with the deformation design.

Academician Li on the side is in charge of this section, and he took Zhou Yi's words and said:

"With the development of smart materials and flexible skin technology, the implementation of deformation technology has gradually changed from the mechanical deformation technology adopted by the F-14 variable-sweep wing to intelligent deformation technology.

Compared with traditional mechanical deformation devices, the intelligent structure has the characteristics of light structure, continuous stepless deformation, and flexible deformation. "

Zhou Yi also has a deep understanding of the sixth-generation machine. After all, the task has been released, and the design is related to geometry.

Therefore added:
"I think the existing and under-developed deformation technology can be mainly used for lifting surfaces and control surfaces such as wings, side strips, and rudder surfaces, and adopt the following variants:

(1)改变机翼展弦比、后掠角、机翼面积等平面参数的变形；(2)机翼三维变形；(3)机翼前后缘柔性舵面；(4)机翼主动弹性变形与变形翼梢小翼；(5)自适应变形进气道；(6)其他布局结构变形。”

Academician Li has a deep research on this direction, and Zhou Yi added to each other:
"Professor Zhou is right, it can be said to be extremely incisive.

For example, the Boeing F/A-XX adopts a canard layout, which is on the same plane as the main wing, and can realize deflection and front-rear merging at the same time.

If you want to fight, you can open the canards to improve the fighting performance. When cruising, you can merge them into one wing to reduce the radar coverage and improve the stealth performance. "

As the two talked, the professors and experts in this direction in the audience began to record with pen and paper,
The military people also nodded, these professors and experts really have something.

Regarding this issue, Zhou Yi and Academician Li,

It took two days to finish, from theoretical design to experimental design, to possible problems, to reserve knowledge in all aspects needed, etc.

After talking for two full days, I finally got a general feasible direction.

On the third day, Zhou Yi got together with a dozen or so academicians who were mainly engaged in the sixth-generation aircraft, as well as several high-level military officials.
"Professor Zhou, is there any chance to manufacture the first sixth-generation machine this year?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Yi with anticipation in their eyes.

Zhouyi solved most of the problems of the sixth-generation machine, although it also left many problems,

But now Zhou Yi is leading them to do it again.

The sixth generation machine is just around the corner.

Zhou Yi said:

"Looking at everyone's progress this year, I think it is possible to produce a model machine.

There is still a need for testing, flight testing, etc., and it will take time. "

Everyone clenched their fists, ready to fight to the end.

This year, we must produce the first sixth-generation machine in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Not for anything else, just to let out a bad breath, just to lead the world.

Zhou Yi said:

"Have those people from the Institute of Physics come here? The directional weapon needs their help.

Some functions of CEPC are already available, and can be invested in the development of super-powerful laser weapons. "

Directional weapons also involve many aspects,
The required manpower and material resources are not a small number,

Not to mention the various theories inside, the materials needed, and so on.

"Here we are, everyone is here. There are more people today than before, and all of them have signed confidentiality agreements."

Zhou Yi said:

"In addition to laser weapons, traditional modified weapons are also required.

Such as air-to-air missiles. "

Speaking of air-to-air missiles, the generals on the side obviously knew the inside story and said:
"Professor Zhou is right that the sixth-generation aircraft is an aircraft with long-range endurance capabilities.

Long-range raid operations require the support of high firepower density, requiring the air-to-air missiles to be equipped with small size, high performance and high-density mounting capabilities, which can increase the ammunition capacity of the fifth-generation airborne missiles by at least three times.

The AIM-260, small advanced capability air-to-air missiles, and Peregrine air-to-air missiles proposed by the ugly country all have the characteristics of high-density mounting.

We also need to develop our own missile on this basis and use it on the sixth-generation aircraft. "

Academician Ma on the side said:
"That's right, after it's developed, we can test the effect on the fifth-generation machine and collect experimental data."

After a short discussion, everyone has arrived.
The assistant is notifying Zhou Yi and the others.

"Professor Zhou, all academicians are here, everyone is here, isn't it?"

Zhou Yi said:

"Since everyone is here, let's start, this meeting will probably take several days.

General Zhao, are the things we need all right? "

General Zhao said:
"No problem, we also borrowed heavy helicopters from Tsarist Russia, and the roads are spacious,
Many of our things are transported by water, land and air.
Don't worry about these problems. "

Zhou Yi nodded and started the third day of the meeting.

Today is mainly about weapons,
In particular, laser weapons need to be overcome this year and applied to fighter jets, submarines, and warships.

After a while, everyone present was seated.
Looking forward to today's meeting.

Although the whole process of the meeting was discussed by several leading figures,
But they gained a lot in the audience.

After a while, Academician Peng, who is mainly in charge of this direction at the Institute of Physics, began to introduce:
"Laser weapons, the original idea was not only to attack, but also to intercept missiles.

But so far, both directions have not done very well.

For large aircraft, it can not only directly destroy incoming missiles, but also be used to efficiently interfere with infrared-guided missiles.

It's just that there is a limit to this improvement.

Because the incoming missiles are not always located in the laser irradiation direction, the detection and early warning of incoming missiles is a big problem. "

Zhou Yi added in due course:
"Many helicopters today are equipped with laser-based directional infrared jamming systems, which use low-power lasers to jam the infrared seekers of incoming missiles.

This system has played a great role in actual combat, but it cannot deal with all incoming missiles. "

"Secondly, although laser weapons can 'find and hit', it is not enough to want to 'hit and destroy'.

Existing laser weapons need to continuously and stably irradiate the target with sufficient power for several seconds if they want to effectively kill the target.

This is to ensure that the control system can stably aim and track and irradiate a certain fixed position of the target for a long time.

However, the speed of fighter jets is supersonic, and it is extremely difficult to achieve this effect.

But what I think is that if it is combined with artificial intelligence and controlled by a system, it may be a breakthrough. "

Zhouyi put forward the concept of reform, if the reform can be completed,

The combat power and security issues of fighter jets are bound to reach the top of the world.

This is also one of the differences from the fifth-generation machine.

At this time Zhou Yi continued:
"However, at the flying speed of the sixth-generation aircraft, even with an adaptive variable cycle engine, the speed of the fighter jet will not slow down much.
The reaction time of laser weapons is very short.

It is impossible to stay for a few seconds, so the power of the weapon can only be enhanced,

I think this is the mainstream of development. As for the specific details, you can think about it first.
Give some ideas this afternoon or tomorrow. "

This super conference certainly cannot be completed in a day.

Leaving some homework may stimulate everyone's potential,

In this way, these people can be fully grown, and even if Zhou Yi does not make a move in the future, they can still be on their own.

This is the greatest significance of being a sixth-generation machine.

In the future, there will be no Zhou Yi to study the rest of the weapons and equipment,
The experts and professors who participated in this development can also independently set up projects and complete some super large projects.

The meeting lasted all morning and continued at 01:30 after lunch.

Although a little tired, everyone's spirits are obviously very excited.

Because the sooner the lecture is finished, the work can be started earlier, and the sixth-generation machine can be produced earlier.

In the afternoon Zhouyi still talked about laser weapons,
"Actually, is the penetrability of laser weapons comparable to that of a laser weapon?"

Zhou Yi was about to speak when General Zhao interrupted and said:

"Professor Zhou can discuss this issue with a few core academicians."

Zhou Yi glanced at General Zhao and said:
"Okay, let's end the meeting today and talk about adaptive variable cycle engines tomorrow."

After a while, everyone adjourned.

General Zhao said:
"These theories are too important, and we are really worried, even if a non-disclosure agreement is signed."

Zhou Yi said:

"I understand. Will tomorrow's meeting still be held?
Or should I speak to a few academicians alone, and then they will assign tasks item by item? "

Master Zhao said:
"Yes."

Zhou Yi said:

"Okay, everyone sit down, I'll continue."

After a while, everyone sat down, and Zhou Yi said slowly:
"In fact, it can be related to the penetration of dark matter,
To study why dark matter has such a strong penetrability,
Dark matter penetrates our human body all the time.

If the methods and methods in this research are thoroughly studied, it may not only be related to laser weapons, but also have many application directions.

At that time, the problem of laser weapons can be easily solved. "

Academician Li on the side said:
"Professor Zhou's analysis makes sense. The attenuation of laser light in the atmosphere is relatively large, especially in the presence of water vapor and sand and dust.

Even if the more powerful ground tactical air defense laser weapon can reach hundreds of kilowatts, it is still limited by the aiming accuracy of the sighting device.

If there is the penetration of dark matter, it may be possible to reduce the weight of laser weapons and make the aircraft lighter. "

The people present are all top bosses, who have been killed by hundreds of millions of people,
The speed of drawing inferences from one instance is very fast.

Zhou Yi said:

"That's right, that's the reason. Whether it's doing academics or doing applications, you must always solve the problem fundamentally.

It is definitely not enough to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. "

Regarding the application reform of laser weapons, Zhou Yi talked about it all afternoon and night, and it didn't end until the early morning.
