I built an armada.

Chapter 586: Breaking the blockade is only the first step to unlock the fourth generation machine

It won't affect the overall situation at all. The technical staff can handle it. There is no need for him to take action.

Back in the laboratory of the Navy's integrated military factory, Su Dingping plunged into the experiment again.

In the air force area of ​​the military industry forging space, an engine in the wind tunnel test center is undergoing the most rigorous wind tunnel test.

This is exactly the J2 turbojet engine used on the U-57 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. So far, everything has been running very smoothly. It has exceeded the long test mark of one thousand hours, and no problems have occurred. It is now nearing the end.

Standing next to the wind tunnel cabin, Su Dingping continued to record various data.

From the current point of view, these data are moving within a reasonable range, proving that the engine is currently operating very normally.

As the operating time officially exceeded 57 hours, the J turbojet engine did not show any vibration or swing, and the power was still very strong without any attenuation.

Su Dingping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. So far, the performance of this engine has been very reliable and it can be manufactured offline and put into use.

However, he expects the operating life of the J57 turbojet engine to be at least hours, reaching the level of mainstream military engines in Western countries.

After the first overhaul, the engine's operating life will reach 3,500 hours before it is scrapped.

He would not follow the path of the White Bear Tribe. The life of each engine was only a few hundred hours before it was scrapped. After all, the years of peace were long and the probability of a real engine being damaged was not high.

The long life of the engine basically requires little maintenance, which brings great convenience to the front-line troops, allowing them to fight with peace of mind without worrying about engine failure.

In this way, the Longxia tribe will have the foundation to independently manufacture Blue Star's advanced high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and will also have the strength to manufacture advanced engines!
These two strengths are essential basic skills for building a strong air force.

Now we just have to wait for the Air Force’s military experts to be trained in the real world before we can start manufacturing.

Next, he took out the J57 turbojet engine that had been almost tested from the center of the wind tunnel and brought it directly to the U-2 reconnaissance plane.

Except for the engine, all other parts of this reconnaissance aircraft have been assembled and passed various rigorous tests.

The only step left is to assemble the engine, and the U-2 will be a complete aircraft that can take off and be tested at any time.

It was extremely easy for Su Dingping to complete the last step of assembling the engine.

With just a wave of his hand, the J57 turbojet engine was quickly assembled into the reconnaissance aircraft with the assistance of the space robot forged in the military industry illustrations.

In just a few seconds, a complete U-2 reconnaissance aircraft appeared before his eyes, looking extremely majestic.

After checking the exterior, Su Dingping went directly into the cockpit to check various instruments and operating performance.

Of course, he is not a pilot, so he naturally cannot fly this type of aircraft into the sky for a few circles and show off some difficult flying maneuvers.

However, as a technical personnel, he still checked the data very carefully to see whether the equipment was operating normally.

Since there was no need to worry about crashing inside the forging space, Su Dingping simply studied the driving of this high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

When the power button was pressed, the indicator lights on the dashboard lit up immediately and targets began to appear on the radar screen.

"Buzz!"

With the roar of the engine, the reconnaissance plane began to slowly slide out of the square in front of the workshop and head towards the airport runway.

The roar of the engine became louder and louder, and soon he felt the reconnaissance plane taxiing on the runway, speeding up. When it reached the critical point, he suddenly pulled up the joystick, and the nose of the reconnaissance plane rose up first.

Then he clearly felt the rear wheels leave the ground and the reconnaissance plane shot straight into the air.

After two and a half hours of high-intensity test flight, Su Dingping basically figured out the basic performance of this reconnaissance aircraft, and it has to be said that it is still very powerful.

Su Dingping took off his helmet and got off the reconnaissance plane, feeling a surge of emotion.

Unexpectedly, he also learned to fly a plane. It was a small step in life, but for the entire Air Force, it was a big step forward, which was equivalent to overcoming a hurdle.

This hurdle that once restricted the development of the Longxia Air Force has finally been overcome today. From now on, there will be no more fear of any bottlenecks and it will usher in a new high-speed development.

Now we just have to wait to build it in the real world to make it clear to the world and to those who look down on the Longxia Air Force that the Longxia Air Force is not afraid of any wind or rain.

Just like the third-generation wind tunnel in reality, which was built entirely by its own strength, it has already raised the clear banner of breaking the White Bear Tribe's technological monopoly.

As the core component of the fighter jet and also its surging heart, the engine has not yet been built in the naval integrated military factory.

However, it has not only been created in the military industry forging space, but has also been fully tested, and there are no problems with any of its performance!

Of course, moving it from the forging space to the real world is not only difficult but also extremely huge, but Su Dingping has full confidence.

Because the Navy had already come this far step by step with difficulty in the past, and turning difficulties into motivation is only a matter of time.

He has cracked all of the Eagle Tribe's top reconnaissance aircraft technology. The days when he was suppressed by the Eagle Tribe and could not raise his head are gone forever!
Once the J57 turbojet engine is manufactured in the naval integrated military factory, it will be equivalent to transforming the foundation into strength and further enhancing the combat capability of the Longxia Air Force.

"It took so long, but today I finally got it all done."

Looking at this complete U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, Su Dingping expressed his feelings and took out the relevant data for research.

Especially its reconnaissance function should be paid special attention to.

Previously, he flew the reconnaissance plane to an altitude of 22,000 meters and conducted reconnaissance and photography activities on the ground for nearly half an hour.

Soon, the paper was taken out, and Su Dingping immediately put it into the reading machine for analysis.

Wide-format photos were read out one after another, in very high definition, and the factories, docks and various infrastructure built in the entire forging space were all clearly visible.

At this moment, he was also filled with emotion.

Such a classic high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft has a glorious record in history and has made outstanding contributions. Whether it is the fierce anti-aircraft firepower during the Su Meng period or the in-depth reconnaissance, its footprints can be said to be all over the blue planet.

Even in the 21st century, the Eagle Tribe is still using it, which shows its excellent performance!
Now, the Longxia tribe has also mastered it!
"Fortunately, all the technology of this reconnaissance aircraft has been cracked."

"Otherwise, the Eagle Tribe will use it to show off in front of us." Su Dingping then spent several hours testing various aspects of the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and conducted several test flights, and found that everything was running smoothly.

"Finally done."

Seeing that all the data were normal, Su Dingping finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.

After finalizing it, he once again turned his gaze to the attribute panel of the reconnaissance aircraft.

"Third-generation high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft - U-2. Completeness (100%), Note: Upgradable!"

The attribute panel gives such data, which proves that he has really conquered them all.

"Next, it's time to upgrade."

After exhaling a breath of foul air, Su Dingping pressed the 'upgrade' button without hesitation.

The next second, the property panel was updated.

"Fourth generation high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. Note: temporarily unavailable for upgrade!"

“网络中心协同式目标指示系统技术完整版（解析进度13%，解析时间1234天）；模块化SAR/MTI侦察雷达技术完整版（解析进度34%，解析时间757天）；SK77涡喷发动机技术完整版（解析进度37%，解析时间887天）；链接天、空、陆基雷达作战指挥系统技术完整版（解析进度42%，解析时间768天）。”

“MP—CDL新型视距宽带情报数据链技术完整版（解析进度47%，解析时间172天）；射频综合传感器技术完整版（解析进度37%，解析时间803天）；相控阵天线技术完整版（解析进度47%，解析时间989天）……”

After reading the technical attribute panel of the fourth-generation reconnaissance aircraft, Su Dingping spread his hands in frustration.

Although there is only one generation difference between the third and fourth generations, the technological gap is too huge and they are completely from different eras.

What is most important is that the fourth-generation reconnaissance aircraft is designed entirely in accordance with the concept of network-centric warfare and is just an important information node in information warfare.

In other words, it is more suitable for future five-dimensional combat and is fully prepared for future combat.

For the current navy, army and air force, it doesn't mean much.

At present, the foundation of network information technology is not complete enough and does not meet the requirements. It is a very advanced reconnaissance aircraft and cannot play a big role at all.

"As for the fourth-generation reconnaissance aircraft, since our information and networking conditions are not yet mature, there is no need to rush to develop it. Let's just wait and see."

After Su Dingping pondered for a moment, he made a decision to slowly develop the fourth-generation reconnaissance aircraft and let it slowly analyze itself until the conditions in reality are ripe.

"According to the new three-step strategy, it will take until the first step is completely completed before it can be put into use."

"At present, the main focus is to vigorously improve the relevant performance of the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, adjust and upgrade some functions, and develop a more advanced unmanned high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft."

Su Dingping quickly arranged the next tasks. Based on the actual situation, he developed a reconnaissance aircraft system with the characteristics of the Longxia tribe, took the unmanned approach, combined with the space-based satellite system, and established a huge background data processing center.

Su Dingping felt that unmanned reconnaissance was the most appropriate method, as there would be no need to worry about casualties even if they were discovered by the enemy.

Moreover, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft do not need to consider personnel security systems, which saves a lot of space. This is undoubtedly a great advantage for an aircraft where saving one gram of weight is equivalent to saving ten thousand taels of gold.

The most important thing is that it greatly saves manufacturing costs and can be produced and manufactured in large quantities.

Currently, the Longxia Air Force has its own unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, but compared with the Blue Planet, it is very backward overall, so it urgently needs the emergence of a new type of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

It would not be too difficult to develop a new unmanned high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft based on the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

After all, by now, the wind tunnel center and aviation engine technology have been acquired.

After exiting the military industry forging space, Su Dingping took a special car to the wind tunnel test center to check the relevant situation.

The director of the wind tunnel center immediately stepped forward to greet them and reported the latest situation. All tests are still ongoing.

"How's the situation? Are the test results normal?"

After checking the relevant records, Su Dingping asked the director of the center directly.

"Reporting to President Su, everything went very smoothly. It has been running safely for 238 hours and 27 minutes, and no abnormalities have occurred."

The director of the center quickly reported truthfully, with a sonorous, powerful and confident voice.

"Very good, we can open it to military experts in the air force, missiles and other related fields at the Pangu Research Base. In addition, the wind tunnel R&D department can also come in to visit and let them figure it out on their own."

Su Dingping nodded, finally feeling relieved to hand it over to the Air Force. "Next, you have a new mission."

A new task again?

All the scientific research and technical personnel present immediately showed joy on their faces.

The last new task they received was to build a wind tunnel, and before that was to develop a 10,000-ton destroyer. Following Su Dingping, they won one scientific research project after another.

It can be said that they are the elite scientific research team of the Navy Integrated Military Factory, a team trained by Su Dingping himself to fight tough battles. Any one of them would be a scientific master at the master level if thrown out.

It’s only been a short while and there’s a new project.

Just don't be too explosive.

"Yes, I'll send someone to notify you right away."

The director of the center immediately took the order and quickly called people to deploy the task.

After the man left, everyone immediately gathered around Su Dingping and looked at him eagerly.

"Mr. Su, what is our next project? Can you give us a hint?" someone asked curiously.

Su Dingping did not hide anything and asked directly: "What do you think is the most serious bottleneck for us in the field of fighter jets?"
