Chapter 869 The Godfather of Science (First update, please subscribe)
In fact, there are early warning aircraft in this era, and the United States has been using them for several years.

After all, as early as after the Pearl Harbor incident, in order to solve the problem that ground and ship radars had difficulty detecting low-altitude invading targets, the United States began to explore installing high-power radars on carrier-based aircraft, so that they could detect low-altitude aircraft and surface ships at a longer distance, and promptly transmit radar intelligence to the ship by radio.

Long before the end of World War II, the U.S. military installed radar on the "Avenger" carrier-based torpedo plane. Not only that, the U.S. Navy also modified two Lockheed C-2 transport aircraft and experimentally installed two search radars as a prototype of a new shore-based early warning aircraft. The final design was the WV-121 early warning aircraft.

In terms of early warning aircraft technology, as the pioneer of this concept, the US military is definitely far ahead.

However, this does not mean that their solution is perfect.

It takes time for a concept to be proposed and realized, and there will be some detours along the way.

And what role did Li Yian play?
Of course, we should stand on the shoulders of historical giants and improve some concepts as much as possible to help scientific researchers avoid some detours.

"…We can install a larger radar!"

In the Naval Technology Research Laboratory, Li Yian pointed to the sketch he had drawn and spoke to the researchers.

"There is no need to install the radar in the fairing on the back and belly of the aircraft like the United States does. Instead, use this disc. Install this disc on the back of the aircraft, and it can rotate at a corresponding speed. Although the structure of this disc-shaped radar cover is more complicated, the information it collects is more accurate..."

Although Li Yian is not an expert in radar, he still has a certain say in radar because the system has activated physics skills.

Of course, the right to speak on the structure of the early warning aircraft and its future development direction is unquestionable. After all, in another world, the big plate has long been known to the world.

Facing the radar experts in the laboratory, Li Yian transformed himself into a famous radar expert. He talked about moving radar into the air and then about radar surface clutter. In fact, any industrial country, as long as it solves the ground clutter problem, has some ability to move radar onto the plane.

But even now, even the US military has not solved the ground clutter problem. This is why only the navy is interested in early warning aircraft and has studied a variety of early warning aircraft. It is not only because without early warning aircraft, aircraft carriers are almost like blind people. Another reason is that there is less clutter at sea, unlike the land which is full of various complex terrains and clutter everywhere.

In this case, the army was naturally insensitive to early warning aircraft. However, Doppler radar later appeared. It can be separated from clutter in the Doppler domain. This property can be used to design filters to eliminate clutter and restore a fresh signal. After that, the U.S. Air Force immediately put the E3 Sentry into service.

It can only be said that many things are limited by technology, and what Li Yian provides is some technical guidance, or inspiration.

In the laboratory, Li Yian, who had transformed himself into a mentor, was talking about how relative velocity would produce Doppler, and how this characteristic could be used to effectively distinguish between targets and clutter. He then mentioned filters.

In this way, Li Yian spent a whole day discussing radar with those radar researchers and answering their questions. Although his answers were almost all the simplest popular science information from another world, for professionals, they were able to get a lot of inspiration from these fragments, and such inspiration might have taken them several years or even ten years to get due to long-term research, or a flash of inspiration one day.

This is also the embodiment of Li Yian’s greatest value - as the godfather of science in Nanyang, he does not need to do everything himself, he only needs to give appropriate inspiration or guidance at the right time.

It is enough to bring returns that transcend the times.

It was getting dark. When Li Yian left the Naval Technology Research Laboratory, he didn't know that he had left behind a legend. It was also on this day that the radar technology in Nanyang was completely changed.

“I hope that, to some extent, it can help Nanyang’s radar technology to be further advanced.”

On the way back to the official residence, Li Yian thought about many things while thinking about this in his mind, and of course he also thought about the King's Laboratory.

King's Laboratory is also conducting a lot of research that is ahead of its time, some of which have naturally achieved corresponding breakthroughs.

It’s just that there is still a certain distance to application. But after the corresponding breakthrough, will it be far to a greater breakthrough?
Thinking of this, Li Yian looked out the window. He looked at the street scene outside the window, just looking at the city he created.

On certain roads, you can even see slogans such as "Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Liberation of North Borneo".

It's been ten years!
Ten years ago, I led the garrison to recover this city and the entire Borneo. After ten years of hard work, everything is going well.

Compared to ten years ago, in Chang'an today, there are almost no buildings from ten years ago - of course, except for the official residence, which is still the Commissioner's Office from the colonial era. Although the garden has expanded several times, the official residence is still the Victorian building. The old official residence and the bustling city form a sharp contrast. Today's Chang'an is full of high-rise buildings, which looks like a bustling city.

"In ten years... the world will be transformed!"

While expressing his emotion, Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little proud. After all, it only took him ten years to create a miracle.

"Nanyang is now ranked third in the world!"

This third, of course, refers to the economy - last year, Nanyang's GDP finally surpassed that of the United Kingdom, becoming the world's third most powerful economy!
But in fact, if it were not for the continuous depreciation of Southeast Asian currencies in the past few years, it would have been exceeded two years ago.

This devaluation is intentional to a certain extent, both to stimulate exports and to conceal its own edge.

"But gold will always shine. Hasn't Nanyang long been a miracle in people's eyes?"

Li Yian was thinking this in his heart. Another thought flashed through his mind - when would the first conflict with the United States occur?

This conflict is nothing but a trade war. After all, some things are inevitable.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be soon!"

In fact, Li Yian has always had a very clear understanding of the relationship between Nanyang and the United States. As we all know, the United States has never looked down on its allies. Historically, it had its first trade war with Japan in 1955, and trade conflicts with Europe have continued, the only difference is whether the conflicts are intense.

In recent years, Southeast Asia’s economic development has already had an impact on many industries in the United States. Under this circumstance, will the trade war last long?
Gazing at the city outside the car window that was dyed red by neon lights, Li Yian couldn't help but feel a certain anticipation in his heart, looking forward to the arrival of this day.

After all, for him, this is not just a trade war!

Thinking of this, Li Yian raised the corners of his mouth and said softly.

"If we play this chess move well, we will basically be safe..."

Thinking of this, Li Yian, who was enjoying a great time, couldn't help but have the urge to indulge himself. After all, life should always be enjoyed.

After all, life itself is hard enough. If you don’t enjoy yourself, what fun is there in it?
Where are you going?

Li Yian didn't think of the people at home. How could the flowers at home be as fragrant as wild flowers? Instead, he even thought of several well-known movie actors.

However, the film and entertainment center of Nanyang is in Kuching. For those movie stars, at most, they can only imagine them.

Well, this was also the result that Li Yian deliberately created, not to avoid making mistakes himself, but to avoid mixing politics and entertainment.

After thinking about it, Li Yian pressed the intercom and gave instructions to the driver.

"Go to Mingguang Apartment!"

Anna lives in Mingguang Apartment. Not only does she live there, but her ballet studio is also there. Although there are not many students, it is mainly used to kill time. Because of her identity, Li Yian has not brought her into the official residence until now. Instead, he placed her outside the official residence. It can be regarded as a hidden beauty in a golden house. After all, she... is still a Soviet spy!

She...is considered a wild flower, and probably a particularly wild one!
