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

Chapter 247 Airworthiness Certificate Problem [Request Full Order]

Hearing Chang Zhengsheng ask this, everyone pricked up their ears to listen.

Zhang Zhipeng shook his head and said, "It's not that easy for the Eagles to set up a similar system."

"The first reason is that their military industry is basically controlled by private capitalists, which is the legendary military-industrial complex. They want to make huge profits."

"To build such a system, it will take many years of continuous investment, and the investment will be astronomical."

"The second reason is that the Eagles have always been very arrogant and think that their military technology can crush the whole world. They are the first country to be equipped with stealth fighters. They don't think that other countries can also quickly develop stealth fighters. Naturally, they will not be prepared accordingly."

"The third reason is that they actually have a serious generational gap in military talent. Their best talent has gone into finance, becoming lawyers, accountants or doctors."

"This leads to a problem. Their industrial talent is beginning to wither. In the military industry, it is basically only second- and third-rate talents who are working. Now even Indian talents are beginning to flood the military industry, which is definitely not a good phenomenon."

"To sum up, I think the Eagle will definitely not be able to develop an anti-stealth fighter system in the short term."

"In the past, the Eagle has always emphasized one advantage: it must be at least one or two generations ahead of the world in military technology. Only in this way can they crush the world and maintain their hegemony."

"But now, let alone being one or two generations ahead, most of their advantages have actually been eroded by us."

"So, there is really no need for us to worry too much. The advantage of time is completely on our side."

"We must learn to stay patient!"

After hearing what Zhang Zhipeng said, Chang Zhengsheng and other Air Force leaders around him nodded and said, "Comrade Zhipeng is right."

At this time, the H-20 in the air had already flown to an altitude of meters and was testing its maximum ceiling.

Because the H-20 is equipped with very advanced sensors that can be connected to the ground command center.

Therefore, the flight status of the aircraft can be observed at the tower.

Of course, it is not an actual image, but a schematic image drawn by the sensor.

"We have risen to 15000 meters!" said Qiao Guanyuan, head of the Air Force Equipment Department.

"What is the maximum ceiling of the B2?" Chang Zhengsheng asked.

Zhang Zhipeng said: "1.5 meters."

Chang Zhengsheng was very excited: "We have already caught up with them."

Zhang Zhipeng said calmly: "We can continue to rise."

As we all know, the higher the plane flies, the thinner the oxygen in the air is.

If there is not enough oxygen, the aircraft engine is likely to have problems.

However, Zhang Zhipeng had fully taken this into consideration when leading his team to develop the WS-17 engine.

The H-2000 uses a lot of technologies to solve this problem, which can maximize the problem of complete combustion of fuel when the oxygen content is low.

Sure enough, just as Zhang Zhipeng said, the H-2000 began to continue climbing.

And the climbing speed is not slow.

Finally, it climbed to an altitude of 1.67 meters.

On the H-2000, Zhao Peng felt that at this altitude, the aircraft could still maintain strong power and everything was in good condition.

This fully illustrates one point: even at an altitude of 1.67 meters, the H-2000 can still fly safely.

Moreover, the flying speed is quite fast.

On the tower, Chang Zhengsheng and others were already cheering.

"Comrade Zhipeng, it seems that the theoretical ceiling you designed is still a bit conservative!" Chang Zhengsheng said with emotion while holding Zhang Zhipeng's hand tightly.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Actually, when it comes to high-altitude rapid penetration, the higher the better. 1.5 meters is about right."

Chang Zhengsheng said at this time: "During this test flight, we should test the performance of the H-2000's airborne phased array radar."

"See if you can evade the enemy's radar warning system when you turn on the active radar scan."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "In fact, our H-2000 has now turned on the airborne phased array radar to detect the surrounding situation."

"It's just that our ground radar didn't detect it."

Qiao Guanyuan was excited and said, "That is to say, the airborne active phased array radar installed on our H-2000 also has a stealth function?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said with a smile: "You can understand it that way."

"We have already developed technologies that can perform frequency hopping, power hopping, and low sidelobe."

"The active phased array radar installed on the H-2000 is our most advanced and latest stealth radar system."

As he was speaking, alarm bells suddenly rang on the screen.

This is a warning that the enemy has been discovered.

Zhang Zhipeng glanced at the screen and smiled, "Our ground radar has captured the active phased array signal on the H-2000."

“This is the question of spear and shield!”

"Our ground-based radar is actually quite advanced."

At this time, Zhao Peng and others on the H-2000 naturally discovered that they had been discovered by the ground radar.

However, Zhao Peng was very calm and immediately ordered the airborne radar to be shut down.

After the airborne radar was turned off, the ground radar system that had just discovered the clue was immediately blinded and the target disappeared from the radar screen.

On the control tower, Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "They have turned off the radar."

Chang Zhengsheng was very surprised: "If they turned off the radar, wouldn't that mean they would have no idea about the surrounding situation?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and shook his head and said, "Turning off the active phased array radar scan does not necessarily mean that the aircraft will become blind."

"The H-2000 actually has a passive radar system."

"This system does not emit electromagnetic waves itself, but it can receive radar waves emitted by targets within 50 kilometers."

"After receiving and analyzing the data, we can directly lock the other party without them noticing."

After hearing this, Chang Zhengsheng was overjoyed: "This is a good thing!"

"Isn't this thing more useful than an active phased array radar?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Its effective range is a bit too short."

"The active phased array radar on the H-20 can detect targets up to kilometers away!"

"Therefore, passive radar cannot replace active phased array radar."

The first test flight of the H-2000 carried out a variety of tests.

It flew in the sky for more than two hours and was a great success.

By 12 noon, the H-2000 finally completed its test flight and landed at the test flight airport.

After the plane stopped at the test flight field, Zhang Zhipeng, Chang Zhengsheng and others strode over.

As Chang Zhengsheng walked, he asked Zhang Zhipeng: "Comrade Zhipeng, our test flight should be quite successful this time, right?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Yes, it was quite successful."

Chang Zhengsheng asked again: "So, how long will it take for the H-2000 to be equipped to the troops?"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "It will take at least a year, right?"

"We can't rush this matter."

"One successful test flight of a prototype really means nothing."

"We still need to fly more in the future. If we fly for a long time, many defects and problems will be exposed."

Chang Zhengsheng rubbed his hands and asked, "So, is it necessary for us to leak some information about this test flight?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Sure!"

"Can you post some pictures of the test flight?"

"I guess the whole world is waiting for news from us."

Chang Zhengsheng said: "In other words: Are we still not announcing the birth of the H-2000?"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Sometimes not announcing something may be more powerful than announcing it. We never know, haha!"

As the two were talking, they arrived next to the H-2000.

Zhao Peng and others were getting off the plane.

After Zhao Peng got off the plane, he saluted Chang Zhengsheng first, and then saluted Zhang Zhipeng.

Chang Zhengsheng smiled and asked, "How is it? Are you able to operate this plane well?"

Zhao Peng nodded and said, "Report to the commander! The control of the H-2000 is very advanced and user-friendly!"

"Its radar is very advanced and can detect targets more than 1700 kilometers away."

"After turning off its active phased array radar, it is like a black hole in the sky."

After chatting with the H-2000 for a few minutes, Chang Zhengsheng felt quite excited.

He said to Zhang Zhipeng: "Comrade Zhipeng, I sincerely hope that the test flight of the H-2000 with maximum take-off weight can be realized as soon as possible."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Don't worry! It should be ready soon."

……

On the evening of October 10, on China’s self-media Weibo platform, an account named Kongtian Lijian posted the following information:
"The latest news is that someone photographed the H-2000 starting its test flight at an airport near Chang'an."

"This fighter plane is very good-looking, and the test flight was a great success!"

There are a few photos attached below the information.

These photos show the state of the H-2000 when taking off.

Also, there are no detail photos.

However, it can still be seen that this fighter is quite dreamy.

After the news of Kongtian Sharpening the Sword was released, it was immediately discovered by many people and began to be forwarded.

In just over ten minutes, this news became the number one trending search.

The whole of China was attracted by this exciting news.

All netizens are talking about this matter.

Some of the parameters of the H-2000 were revealed.

Features like super long flight distance, extremely high ceiling, speed that can reach twice the speed of sound, black hole-like stealth effect... these are all talked about with great relish by many netizens.

"Ha! We finally have our own strategic bomber! The most unexpected thing is that it is much better than Amei's!"

"In the field of aviation, we have already begun to overtake the others! From now on, I can responsibly say that we will continue to widen the gap with Amei!"

"Amei will probably feel more and more uncomfortable."

"But why do I see that the eagles are still so arrogant? They are still causing trouble near us."

"If God wants to destroy someone, he must first drive him crazy. The closer it gets to the end of the world, the more desperately he will struggle, no matter what means."

……

The news of the H-2000 test flight was first released on Weibo.

In less than an hour, it was posted on Twitter.

Now, the whole world is boiling.

This news was spreading everywhere on Twitter, and it didn't take long for it to become the number one trending search on Twitter.

Hess is a commentator for CBS Television.

He often participates in military programs.

Just recently, he participated in a program that discussed China's latest strategic bomber.

On that show, all the commentators were mocking wildly, and everyone agreed that it was impossible for China to develop an advanced strategic bomber.

In fact, it wasn’t even a few days ago that show.

That day, Hess received another call from CBS.

The call invited Hess to participate in a military commentary program the next day.

The content of the program continues to discuss the development of China's latest bomber.

Hess naturally accepted it with pleasure.

In fact, Hess had a clear mind.

He also knew that China's military technology was developing rapidly and the results achieved were enormous.

Today, the Eagle actually has almost no advantage.

However, in order to continue to hold on, they have no better choice but to brag about themselves.

Since Hess was going to participate in a new program, he would of course collect some information for it.

As a commentator, Hess knew he had to make a shocking statement.

You must come up with a fresh, shocking and unconventional argument.

Only in this way can we achieve better program effects.

At the moment, we can only consider the effect of the program.

Who cares what the facts are.

Hess began looking online for inspiration.

He logged into Google.

He logged onto Twitter.

He searched for some outrageous statement.

All of a sudden, Hess saw a piece of news on Twitter.

"China's latest fighter, the H-2000, has had a great success in its test flight!"

After reading the news, Hess was a little confused.

I go……

No way?
Did the slap in the face come so quickly?

This is simply incredible.

Hess looked at the photos on the web page, and for a moment, he felt mixed emotions.

In the picture, this strategic bomber looks very beautiful.

It is a flying wing layout.

But it is obviously very different from B2.

It has its own characteristics in design.

The most important point is that it actually has a vertical tail?
No way? As a flying wing aircraft, it actually has a vertical tail?
If that's the case, wouldn't it be easy to increase the radar cross section?

Hess thought so, and he felt that China's bomber might not be particularly successful.

However, he soon saw more information.

Only then did he realize that the vertical tail could be changed and would only appear when it was in use.

If you don't use it, it disappears.

Moreover, many improved designs of this fighter-bomber have been tested by radar scanning.

Its radar display cross-section is even smaller, less than 0.1 square meters.

Hess felt mixed emotions at this moment.

In fact, he already believed in his heart that the Chinese bomber had achieved a huge success.

However, if it were a show, it would still have to be harshly sarcastic and even make the story worthless.

This is reality...

In fact, there is currently a strong force on Twitter that is criticizing H-2000.
This is how the Eagle tries to cover up its own incompetence.

However, as the two forces entangled, no matter what, Eagle was becoming increasingly unable to dominate public opinion...

It can be said that the H-2000 created a whirlwind in the world and further broke the balance.

The eagle at this time is really extremely psychologically fragile.

……

The successful first test flight of the H-2000 has greatly enhanced the Chinese people's sense of national pride and self-confidence.

Not long after the first successful test flight of the H-2000, the 5th Bamboo Sea Air Show opened.

This is the largest air show held in China.

In the past two years, the influence of this air show has been growing around the world.

China will exhibit a large number of new products at this air show.

Among them, the most famous should be the C919 large aircraft.

The C919 passenger aircraft has currently undergone a large number of test flights.

It has flown all over the country, even to the highest altitude Tibetan Plateau, where it has flown several times.

It reports relevant test results to the outside world almost on a regular basis.

All the tests went quite smoothly.

Its performance is already much better than Boeing's.

After more than half a year of test flights, the C919 has demonstrated its outstanding performance.

Recently, C919 began negotiating with Europe and the United States for the approval of its airworthiness certificate.

At present, the airworthiness certificate is actually mainly dominated by Europe and the United States.

Damao also has its own airworthiness certificate, but it has little influence.

Our China's airworthiness certificate was previously mainly based on the airworthiness certificates of European and American countries.

Regrettably, the negotiations for the C919's airworthiness certificate did not go smoothly.

Europe and the United States are trying their best to delay and obstruct C919 from obtaining its airworthiness certificate.

Because once the C919 obtains their airworthiness certificate, catastrophic consequences are likely to follow.

C919 will become a strong competitor to Boeing and Airbus.

It is very likely that before too long, the latter two will be suppressed by the competition of the stronger ones.

Because many industries and fields have actually experienced almost the same drama before.

This time, in order to protect their own passenger aircraft companies, Europe and the United States chose to strangle the airworthiness certificate.

They want to use this method to prevent the C919 from flying out of the country.

This method is quite vicious.

At the Bamboo Sea Air Show, participating companies are setting up their exhibitions.

As the person in charge of R&D and manufacturing of C919, Zhang Zhipeng naturally came to the scene as well.

At this time, he was standing in front of the C919 booth.

Accompanying him was Zhou Feihong, the head of the Magic City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

Zhou Feihong was obviously a little angry and excited at this moment.

He snorted, "Damn it, Amei! We have already had more than ten rounds of negotiations with them!"

"It obviously doesn't want us to get their domestic airworthiness certificate!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Of course they don't want us to get an airworthiness certificate!"

"Because they are worried that once we get the airworthiness certificate, we can sell aircraft all over the world."

"I guess they are just adopting the tactic of procrastination now. They will keep procrastinating us for ten or eight years and eventually kill us."

Zhou Feihong frowned and said, "They are really too vicious!"

"Then what shall we do?"
