Rebirth Technology Power

Chapter 140 Aircraft Cemetery
Cai Jin came to the air force base.

Looking at the busy figures one by one, I was filled with emotion.

This ability to act is not ordinary.

He directly mobilized a whole team of experts, completed the demonstration of his transformation plan in such a short period of time, and even started to transform it.

Transforming a fighter jet into a UAV may seem simple, but it is not.

After all, even an aircraft more than half a century ago like the J-5 has a maximum flight speed of more than 1100 kilometers per hour.

What's more, these decommissioned aircraft don't know how many years they have been decommissioned. They have to be inspected back and forth, and they can only be modified after they are confirmed to be correct.

"We started to modify according to your plan yesterday, and we can modify a prototype today." Gong Chaoming pointed to the J-5.

To be honest, the J-5 looks very low, so that people of this era will feel that this is an outdated aircraft and will be very uncomfortable.

But there is no doubt that the J-17, a fighter that was successfully developed based on the MiG-[-] fighter, represented that our country became one of the countries that could grow jet fighters in batches in the world at that time!

"Before, we would sell a few J-[-]s for patriotic education." Gong Chaoming said, "If it weren't for your transformation plan, then maybe these planes would end up buried in the aircraft cemetery!"

Speaking of aircraft cemeteries, people often think of the "Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center" near Tucson, Arizona, because this is the famous "aircraft cemetery" of the US Air Force, where several generations of military aircraft are preserved.

In that 'aircraft cemetery', covering an area of ​​1.58 acres, obsolete and dilapidated aircraft worth 350 billion US dollars are kept there, providing parts for the latest models.Up to now, Davis-Mengshan Air Force Base has preserved a total of 4200 aircraft, some of which are only temporarily stored at the base during the intermission of deployment, but more than 80% of the aircraft will eventually end their missions here. It is still a "steel grave" Field', 35 pieces of steel can be recycled if necessary.

In addition to the Davis-Mengshan Air Force Base, there is also a famous aircraft cemetery, which is the open-air aerospace museum in the bearish Ulyanovsk city, where there are more than 9000 aircraft, but those aircraft are under maintenance. , already rusty.

As for China's aircraft cemetery, it is the Lushan Aircraft Storage Center where Cai Jin is located. It covers an area of ​​1.8 square kilometers and preserves more than 2000 aircraft.

Once the transformation of these aircraft is completed, these aircraft worth tens of billions can be used again.

Even the export of drones can create a lot of wealth.

"It's not easy to complete all the transformations of so many aircraft!" Cai Jin said with emotion.

Gong Chaoming smiled: "As long as it can be completely remodeled, then these meritorious aircraft can continue to use their waste heat!"

"Even if it is the cheapest J-5, it can be sold for 500 million yuan if it is transformed into a drone! We have 700 J-5s, all of which have been modified, that is, it can sell for 35 billion, and can be equipped with dozens of J-20s. Stealth Fighter!"

In the past, it's not that I didn't think about selling these backward planes, but these planes are too outdated and their performance is too backward, and I can't sell them even if I want to sell them.

Even if it is processed, it is nothing more than selling it as steel.

And for these meritorious fighters, they are reluctant to part with them, because thanks to the usual maintenance, many of these decommissioned aircraft can be launched in wartime, strengthening the combat power of the air force.

And if these decommissioned fighters are transformed into drones, then this is an outdated aircraft, but an advanced drone.

"I hope the renovation work goes well." Cai Jin said.

To be honest, from the heart, Cai Jin is more willing to produce new drones, because the new drones are more advanced.

But if you think about it, you can also understand the Air Force. After all, it is poor and afraid!

They are desperately trying to squeeze out the final value of every weapon and equipment.

Perhaps the modified UAVs are not needed by the Chinese Air Force, but they can be exported.

These modified drones, whether used in the military field or in the agricultural field, are very useful.

Compared with the current advanced fighter jets that can easily cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, this kind of aircraft only costs 500 million yuan, which is even cheaper than an air defense missile.

The most famous anti-aircraft missile in the world, the Patriot anti-aircraft missile, costs almost 530 million US dollars, and it is not necessarily available if you want to buy it.

A UAV of this kind is exchanged for a Patriot-3 anti-aircraft missile, and it will only make money and not lose money.

"I'd like to trouble you to make a personal trip this time, but you also need to check it out." Gong Chaoming said.

Cai Jin is now an authoritative expert in this area.

Involving various fields, the transformation plan was proposed by Cai Jin again.

"It's just a small matter!" Cai Jin waved his hand and said indifferently.

This is a big project, a business worth hundreds of billions.

After completing this big project, not only can you get hundreds of billions of income, but you can also save a lot of maintenance and repair costs every year.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Cai Jin.

He is an expert this time, so he doesn't need to personally participate in the transformation, but to test it after the transformation is completed and help analyze it.

Here, it is also good to eat and drink.

Once the preliminary work is completed and it is confirmed that this can be done, the number of transformed drones will be as high as 8000!
The remaining part of the aircraft that will not be modified will be used as a collection of military museums to carry out aviation patriotic transactions, allowing latecomers to witness the development of the Chinese Air Force.

As for the modified UAVs, except for a part that will be used to supplement the air force, many of them will be aimed at export.

This kind of thing has a broad market for both military and civilian purposes. With a little modification, it can be used for spraying pesticides on farms.

Of course, with the bionic bird robot, it can also exert great power on the battlefield.

It can be used to consume the opponent's anti-aircraft missiles, or it can be used as a drone for air strikes, and even, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a powerful missile.

For his transformation plan, Cai Jin is quite confident.

After all, it is all the technology he has mastered, there is no newly developed technology at all, it is nothing more than whether it is done properly during the renovation and construction.

Accompanied by Cai Jin, Gong Chaoming walked around the entire aircraft cemetery, and there are even many aircrafts with stories.

Moreover, unlike other world-famous aircraft cemeteries, 80% of the aircraft in the aircraft cemetery here can still be launched into the air.

It is conceivable that the Lushan Aircraft Storage Center usually puts a lot of effort into maintaining these aircraft.
