The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 131 National treasure cannot be hidden forever

This unmanned reconnaissance aircraft can reach 15.13 meters in length and has a wingspan of 26.08 meters.

More than 5.8% of its body parts are made of carbon fiber, which means that although it is huge, its empty weight is only tons.

And its theoretical take-off weight can reach nearly 11 tons!

It uses two newly developed turbofan 11 engines, and the thrust of a single engine can reach 4.2 tons!

It is equipped with the latest digital high-speed camera, terahertz wave synthetic aperture radar and digital TV developed by China.

It has powerful anti-electronic warfare capabilities and can fly freely in complex electromagnetic environments.

It has a powerful central control computer with amazing data processing capabilities and can transmit battlefield environment information in real time!

Its wing design is very distinctive. It adopts a special Φ-shaped connecting wing aerodynamic layout, which can greatly improve the stiffness and strength of the wing, so it has excellent flight controllability and stability.

All in all, this aircraft looks very beautiful.

After this unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was manufactured, Zhang Zhipeng finally decided to name it Wujianqi in order to pay tribute to the Wujianqi in his previous life.

After the prototype is built, all that's left is the test flight.

Of course, Zhang Zhipeng must have called Zhao Bingkun before the test flight.

After Zhao Bingkun received the call, he rushed to Chang'an that afternoon.

After arriving, he carefully observed the prototype with great interest. After listening to Zhang Zhipeng's introduction of various parameters, Zhao Bingkun smiled and nodded and said: "It's not interesting to just listen to the introduction. Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out! I think it's better to just pull it." It’s better to go out and let it fly into the sky to test it!”

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Aren't we just waiting for you to come and cut the ribbon?"

"You have to be a witness to your first flight, right?!"

Zhao Bingkun laughed and said: "Haha! Although I have witnessed many miracles."

"However, this time, I am still 1,000% looking forward to it! If it can really achieve the design goals, the sea and air situation in the entire Asia-Pacific region will be under control! How exciting!"

"Take it to the military airport in Chang'an!"

"Let's take a look together to see what its actual parameters are!"

As a result, the plane was transported to the military airport on the outskirts of Chang'an by a longboard truck overnight.

At around 10 o'clock that night, under the personal control of Zhang Zhipeng, the plane rose from the ground and flew into the sky.

Zhang Zhipeng set up a control room in the airport office building, facing a control computer that was in real-time contact with Wujian 7 to control and follow the real-time flight of the aircraft.

Zhao Bingkun, Zheng Jingzhi and others were also sitting in front of the computer.

Everyone stared at the screen excitedly.

Of course, in addition to the indoor control, there were also two fighter planes taking off to escort the test flight of No Detective Seven.

The No-Detective Seven was initially just circling around the airport because it wanted to see how stable its performance was.

Under the control of Zhang Zhipeng, the No-Detective Seven flew very smoothly. At first, everyone had to observe its ceiling.

Therefore, Wu Zhen Qi has been climbing rapidly.

It easily climbed to an altitude of 1.7 meters, 1.8 meters and up to 2 meters.

That's really effortless.

Of course, the two accompanying fighter jets could only watch from a distance below.

"2 meters! It seems effortless at all!" Zhao Bingkun clenched his fists with excitement on his face.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "2 meters should be almost enough, right?"

"Generally speaking, anti-aircraft missiles are no longer able to hit us."

"Moreover, our Wu Zhen Qi Ke also has a stealth effect!"

Zhao Bingkun said: "Robin's U2, an airplane from the 2.4s and s, can still fly meters!"

"Squeeze Wujian 7 and see how high it can fly!"

Zhao Bingkun seemed to attach great importance to the ceiling performance of the aircraft.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and shook his head and said: "The SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft can fly up to 3 meters. The MiG-25 with big hair is said to have a maximum ceiling of more than 3.7 meters."

"It's not that the higher you fly, the better."

"Today's reconnaissance aircraft still rely on stealth and long-distance high-precision reconnaissance equipment to reduce the probability of being discovered by the opponent."

"After all, the ceiling is high, which means the flight distance will not be too far."

"And our current reconnaissance equipment is already quite advanced."

"The engine is quiet enough and not too loud. As long as it operates at an altitude of 2 meters, the probability of being discovered is basically not too high."

"So, what I want to say is: High ceiling is actually not a good thing."

Zhao Bingkun scratched his head and said with a smile: "Okay! You are right!"

He turned to the person in charge of the airport and said, "Let's see if our radar can detect that unmanned reconnaissance aircraft!"

The person in charge of the airport immediately smiled and said: "Director Zhao, our radar has been tracking it and there is no trace of it at all!"

"Maybe it's because our radar is relatively old!"

When Zhao Bingkun heard this, his eyes lit up: "Can you really become invisible?! This performance is absolutely advanced!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Director Zhao, invisibility is not a particularly advanced ability!"

"As long as the aircraft is coated with stealth materials, it can generally have a stealth function."

"Robin's F117 has already adopted a stealth design."

Zhao Bingkun smiled and said: "However, our country has never made any breakthroughs in this regard!"

"So I want to say that you led the team to work on the No Detective Seven project this time, but by the way, a lot of important results were achieved!"

"This invisibility material can be considered a major achievement!"

"With it, we can also start designing and developing stealth fighters in the future, haha!"

Zhao Bingkun smiled particularly happily.

In the next test, Zhang Zhipeng tested many projects.

For example, test the fastest speed of No Detective Seven.

Because Wuzhen 1.7 uses a turbofan engine, its fastest speed can reach Mach .

This speed is already quite fast.

Of course, at this explosive speed, the aircraft's fuel consumption will also increase exponentially.

However, in the economical flight mode, the fuel consumption of Wuzhen 7 is quite low, only one-third of that in the high-speed mode.

After testing the highest speed, Zhang Zhipeng also tested the slowest speed.

The slowest speed of Wuzhen 300 can even be as slow as more than kilometers per hour.

This is an amazing thing! Because if an aircraft using a turbofan engine flies too slowly, it will be unstable!

The next step is to test the electronic reconnaissance equipment equipped on the aircraft.

The effects of these devices are also quite excellent.

This test lasted more than two hours.

The two escorting fighter jets have returned home, but according to the data from the monitoring terminal, Wujian 7 currently only consumes less than one-tenth of the fuel it carries!

Zhao Bingkun looked at the number displayed on the screen. He shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't even believe this number."

"Are airplanes so fuel-efficient?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "The lighter the plane, the more fuel-efficient it will be!"

"Moreover, the engine on our Wujian 7 adopts a fuel-saving economy mode."

"It is a large-bypass engine, and I also specially installed a device to adjust the air intake ratio between the inner and outer ducts."

"So, it's normal for it to save fuel, okay?"

"Director Zhao, it's getting late."

"I think you all should go to bed."

"I'll continue to monitor its flight myself."

"No matter what, we have to see how long it can fly in the end, right?"

Zhao Bingkun yawned. He was indeed a little sleepy.

Because it's almost 12 o'clock in the morning.

"It's true that I'm a little sleepy."

"However, my mind is still excited now."

"I just want to see the final result."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "It can fly for more than 20 hours."

"You can't survive it."

"Otherwise, we'll just arrange the shifts."

"I'll be on guard for a few more hours, and I'll find someone to keep an eye on me for a while."

Zheng Jingzhi smiled and said, "Zhipeng, why don't you go and take a rest first."

"I'll be on duty first."

"I'm really not sleepy at all now."

Immediately, a doctoral student under Zheng Jingzhi stood up to express his objection: "Teacher, how can I make you stay up late? That won't work."

"It's better that we take turns on duty. This test flight is of great significance. Everyone is very excited right now, but no matter how excited you are, you have to rest, right?"

Zheng Jingzhi and Zhao Bingkun were finally urged by the young people to go to the lounge to rest.

Zhang Zhipeng was also the first to go to rest.

The resting places are several dormitories.

Zhang Zhipeng lay naked and used deep sleep hypnosis on himself.

He only slept for more than two hours and was full.

Looking at the time, it was almost 3 o'clock the next morning.

Zhang Zhipeng went to the monitoring room.

Here, there are two doctors staring at the screen.

Both of them were obviously a little sleepy.

However, he is still holding on. When they saw Zhang Zhipeng coming, they quickly cheered up: "Teacher Zhang, are you awake?"

"It hasn't been long, has it?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "I'll be full after just two hours of sleep."

"You guys go and get some sleep. Just leave this place to me."

The two doctors yawned and went to sleep.

Zhang Zhipeng took a look at the status of the No-Detective 7 flying in the sky. Everything was normal!

There is still plenty of oil.

Because it was a test, this plane had actually been flying around Chang'an City on the outskirts of Chang'an.

The average speed is 410 kilometers per hour.

It had been flying for five or six hours straight.

Zhang Zhipeng looked at its remaining fuel and found that there was still more than three-quarters left.

It shows that we can fly another 8 kilometers!

Zhang Zhipeng thought to himself, it seems that there is no problem in flying continuously for twenty-seven or eight hours!

At 8 kilometers, there is no problem in flying from Chang'an to the southern sea and back again.

However, a flight like this must be reported. If not reported, it will inevitably cause unnecessary panic.

Zhang Zhipeng thought for a while and finally gave up the idea of ​​flying to the South China Sea and then turning back.

The test of the first Wujian 7 lasted for 30 hours.

Finally, the most important parameters of Wujian 7 were released.

It can stay in the air for more than 30 hours!

Its maximum flight distance can reach more than 10,000 kilometers.

Its maximum combat radius reaches 5000 kilometers!

Zhao Bingkun stayed in Chang'an City until the test was completely completed.

Looking at the amazing data of Wu Detective 7 on the paper, Zhao Bingkun was so excited that he choked up a little.

"I'll go! These parameters are so beautiful!"

"If it is equipped to the southern coast, wouldn't the entire Asia-Pacific be under its surveillance?"

As Zhao Bingkun spoke, his eyes became a little moist.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "One shot is definitely not enough!"

"However, if four or five Undetectable 7s can monitor together, then Robin's aircraft carrier formation and the submarines under the ocean will have nothing to hide!"

Zhao Bingkun nodded and said, "So, Wu Detective 7 should be ready for mass production now, right?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Yes! The process design drawings of the prototypes we created are very comprehensive."

"Leave it to the aircraft factory and they can build it!"

"If you ask me, let Xifei make it!"

"Just let them combine it with Chang'an Chemical Fiber Factory."

"This time, Chang'an Chemical Fiber Factory was able to successfully build Wuzhen 7. Chang'an Chemical Fiber Factory helped a lot!"

Zhao Bingkun said: "Then let Xifei build it!"

"By the way, have you measured the production costs?"

"Is No Detective 7 expensive to make?"

This is an issue that Zhao Bingkun is concerned about.

After all, the current economic situation of the country is not very good. It's better to save a little if you can.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "The total cost of the prototype is still a bit high. It cost more than 870 million yuan in total!"

"This is a cost without adding any profit!"

"Even the labor costs of our scientific research team are not included."

After hearing this, Zhao Bingkun said happily: "In other words, even if the profit is added to the aircraft manufacturer, the maximum cost is just over 1000 million?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "That's true!"

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "Isn't it really too cheap?"

"Once upon a time, we had the opportunity to buy Robin's U2 reconnaissance drone. Do you know how much they offered? More than $1 million!"

Zhang Zhipeng knew that it was in the 80s.

At that time, Robin wanted nothing more than to tie the rabbit to his chariot.

All kinds of good things are wanted to be sold to rabbits.

However, the asking price is really expensive.

But Rabbit is not taken advantage of. What he wants is technology, not finished products.

Everyone can't agree.

In fact, U2 is pretty damn good.

An old antique from the 50s actually dared to speak like a lion.

However, in addition to U2, Robin really wanted to sell a lot of good things to Rabbit, but because the asking price was high, Rabbit wanted technology, and the other party just wanted to cut leeks, so he couldn't close the deal.

Later, in the early 90s, when the situation changed suddenly, even if you wanted to buy rabbits, they were no longer for sale.

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Director Zhao, I am not bragging. If the No-Detective 7 we developed were to be released to the outside world, it is estimated that someone would buy it for million yuan!"

Zhao Bingkun laughed and said: "Haha! I believe it! Of course I believe it!"

"However, this thing is definitely not for sale!"

"No matter how much I pay, I won't sell it!"

"By the way, Comrade Zhipeng, the leaders above have decided to establish the country's highest technology award!"

"And the first winner is you!"

"Not only that, the award ceremony will be very grand!"

"We will also conduct comprehensive publicity to the outside world!"

Zhang Zhipeng was stunned when he heard this: "Oh?! Does this mean: From now on, I won't have to be hidden anymore?"

Zhao Bingkun nodded with a smile and said: "The leaders above said, why do we keep hiding our national treasure-level scientists?"

"Since the highest security measures have been used on you, we must publicize it to you!"

"If our country can't even protect you, then how can we talk about rising and rejuvenating?!"

"Promoting you vigorously will also be an inspiration to the people of the country, right?!"

"We need exciting news so much!"

Zhang Zhipeng puffed up his chest and said, "I obey the country's arrangements!"

Zhao Bingkun patted Zhang Zhipeng on the shoulder and said, "Yes! It is expected that the award-winning news will be announced in the next two days."

"Your deeds will also receive high-frequency publicity!"

"Be mentally prepared!"

"In addition, the awards will be held on January 1."

"When the time comes, I will personally come to take you to Beijing to receive the award!"

This was supposed to be an exciting event.

However, Zhang Zhipeng was not disturbed in his heart.

In the next two days, after the Air Force learned about the successful test flight of the Wuzhen-7, Qiao Guanyuan immediately rushed to Chang'an to observe the Wuzhen-7.

After seeing various parameters of the actual test flight of Wujian 7, Qiao Guanyuan felt a little excited.

He immediately organized technicians to come and study with Zhang Zhipeng's team. The purpose was naturally to master the technology of controlling the No-Detection 7 as early as possible, and then be ready to receive the No-Detection 7 into service.

Zhang Zhipeng naturally wanted to receive it in person.

The technical team brought by Qiao Guanyuan actually flew Wujian 7 several times, and they became even more fond of this large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

Qiao Guanyuan felt that the emergence of this large drone would once again change the balance of Robin's air power.

"Comrade Zhipeng, can we start equipping the troops in half a year?" Qiao Guanyuan asked Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "I really don't dare to say this."

"Because, after the development is successful, it will be coordinated by the Science and Technology Committee."

"Besides, I estimate that there will be some tests in the future. Let's see what the Science and Technology Commission says."

Qiao Guanyuan smiled and said: "What else are you testing? Isn't it pretty good now?"

"I have to go talk to Director Zhao. It would be better if this prototype is given to us as soon as possible."

Qiao Guanyuan went to Zhao Bingkun to ask for equipment.

Zhao Bingkun said to Qiao Guanyuan: "Comrade Guanyuan, I can't give you this thing for the time being!"

Qiao Guanyuan was confused: "Why?"

"Such a good thing, if we don't equip it with front-line equipment as soon as possible, will it stay in the warehouse and collect dust?"

Zhao Bingkun smiled and said: "This drone itself was developed to cooperate with a bold strategic plan!"

"Until that plan is successful, the aircraft will remain in storage."

Qiao Guanyuan was a little disappointed.

He nodded and said, "I know it's a plan to hit the aircraft carrier with ballistic missiles, right?"

Zhao Bingkun nodded and said, "Yes!"

"We can't be like Robin. We can't hide leftovers in the doghouse! If we have something, we want to show it off right away!"

"Our good things should be saved until the right time, and then displayed bit by bit to scare those ambitious wolves!"

Qiao Guanyuan said: "I understand, I obey the country's arrangements!"

"However, Director Zhao, I think it is now time to publicize Comrade Zhipeng's great contributions. Are you trying to put him on the bright side?"

Zhao Bingkun nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, we want him to start enjoying the great reputation brought by his achievements!"

"We want to build him into a leader of the younger generation in the current scientific community!"
