Chapter 98 How to become invisible with this look?

"First flight overnight?!"

"Don't you want to do a ground test first?"

"Wait a minute, the dean just said that after the final assembly is completed, it will pass 1217 basic tests. What are these tests? How are they done?"

"Hey, it seems like the dean did say that. I've never heard of these tests before."

"Unmanned manufacturing, 80% of testing is also unmanned."

"You are so stupid, think about Zero! It must be it!"

"Damn it! I actually forgot about Zero! Damn it!"

"That's fine. With Master Zero here, we can handle any number of tests."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how Zero will do these 1217 tests!"

……

After hearing Li Tang's announcement, the aircraft design team and the Twelve Guardians of AVIC Engine all started talking about it, and finally they all talked about the intelligent assistant Zero that they both loved and hated.

Although they have not participated in the design and manufacture of the hand-rubbed version of [Predator] for more than half a month, they are simultaneously carrying out the design and development work of the first generation [Predator].

In fact, these R&D personnel were not only taught by Li Tang's consciousness synchronization teaching, but also urged on by the intelligent assistant Zero.

At the Future Design Institute, no matter which institute or research group, every researcher particularly likes the smart assistant Zero.

Because Zero has been of great help to their research, for example, it has saved a lot of time in looking up information, running simulations, and calculating data.

This is especially true for researchers on aircraft design teams.

They just need to do the work they are responsible for and creatively complete the design framework.

Zero can fill in the remaining details quickly and efficiently.

Because of this, they are always urged by Zero.

"XXX, please complete the rotor blade parting design diagram in 46 minutes!"

"So-and-so, please complete the magazine wiring design diagram in 25 minutes!"

"So-and-so, your energy storage device connector design block diagram must be completed before a certain time and second!"

"..."

In this atmosphere, the development progress of the first generation of [Predator] was terrifyingly fast!
The indicators of the first generation of [Predator] designed by Chen Tianxiao and his team are:

12.3 meters long, 11.5 meters wingspan, 3.2 meters high.

The maximum take-off weight is 16 tons and the bomb load is 4-5 tons.

The maximum flight speed is 1.58 Mach, the maximum endurance time is over 24 hours, and the combat radius is 12000 kilometers!

It adopts hybrid power, with a single fuel turbofan engine as the main thrust, and four small rotor motors providing vertical power.

This design performance was obtained by Chen Tianxiao after continuous upward modifications at Li Tang's request.

He was always worried and felt it would be difficult to achieve.

After all, if an aircraft with a four-ducted rotor wants to fly so fast and so far, it must have a super powerful engine.

To put it bluntly, great effort can make miracles happen!
As the saying goes, with strong power, even a brick can fly to the sky.

But when I think about the level of the "Twelve Guardians of Aero Engines", trying to convince Chen Tianxiao that they can build the turbofan engines needed for the first generation of [Predator] is like a sow climbing a tree.

But Li Tang did not allow him to lower the design standards. He even complained that the indicators were a bit low, saying that the troops would definitely not be equipped with them in the future and they could only be exported.

My God, just based on these design indicators, except for the stealth capability, they are already better than the Attack 11 stealth drone currently in service.

If it is really made, how could the military allow it to be exported?

If you want the first generation of [Predator] to fly successfully with this design specification, you must use a single-engine turbofan engine, otherwise the payload and range will be reduced by more than half.

But if a single-engine is used, it must be better than the F35 engine currently used in the F135 fighter.

In other words, the engine must reach the world's top level, with a thrust of at least 18 tons.

Wouldn't this make things difficult for the Twelve Guardians?
If there really is such an engine, wouldn't the military be rushing to equip it on various main fighter jets such as the Warhawk?
But think about it, the park doesn’t even have an engine testing platform, how can it build an engine?

Do you still want to build such an advanced engine?
It’s too sci-fi!
However, Chen Tianxiao's worries disappeared tonight, not only because the hand-made version of [Predator] was about to make its maiden flight.

It was because he saw the magic weapon that ensured that the [Predator] could be put into its first flight right after it was manufactured!
"Full-environment simulation comprehensive test system"!
This thing, which seemed like a magical artifact to Chen Tianxiao, was even more shocking than the full physical field simulation simulator he had used before.

The former is used in design and only performs numerical simulation and approximate calculations at the design level.

There are corresponding software systems at home and abroad that can achieve similar functions, but their calculation speed and accuracy are not as good as those of the Future Science and Technology Research Institute.

However, the latter comprehensive simulation environmental testing system can almost be considered a simulation system that can replace all real-life tests.

The key lies in the three words "full environment"!

There is no simulation testing software on the market that can achieve this level of performance.

Li Tang did not pay attention to the discussions of these researchers. He was staring at the Predator drone that was still being assembled on the big screen.

Because some technologies are not yet available, Li Tang cannot directly create (hand-rub) an electromagnetic propulsion particle jet engine like the Tianlong warrior in the memory fragment.

So he designed and developed a super motor based on the various motor data collected by Zero. It uses a storage device composed of lithium crystal solid batteries to power it, and uses high-magnetic materials to generate high-energy magnetic fields, thereby greatly increasing the output power and torque.

Combined with improvements in other supporting links, it can be said to be the most powerful aviation electric motor in history.

However, after Zero tested it in a simulation environment, it was found that its propulsion force was still insufficient for the Predator to achieve the flight performance that Li Tang had expected.

In fact, Li Tang's "hand rubbing" is to completely copy what is in the memory of time and space. If the relevant technical conditions are basically consistent with reality, hand rubbing can be easily completed.

But if there is a big gap in the technical conditions of the two sides, there is a high possibility that hand rubbing will fail.

The reason why Li Tang spent most of his time creating the [Predator] during this period was actually a crazy test of his.

Because the memory that made him palpitate at that time was not only that the "Predator" drone was very similar to the drone in the real science fiction movie "The Wandering Earth 2".

Nor was it as terrifying as the overwhelming attack of the Predator drones in the dream memory.

But in the dream memory, this drone actually has the same name as the drone in "The Wandering Earth 2"!
【Predator】!
The names are the same and the appearance is very similar.

what does this mean?
Li Tang actually didn’t dare to think too deeply about it, but he still forced himself to think about whether the dream would be the future of reality?
In reality, it is clearly a prop from a science fiction movie, but in the dream, it is a more advanced [Predator] aerospace drone.

If dreams are the future of reality, would creating the [Predator] first have any impact on the dream?
Then let it fly for real and let everyone know about it.

If the time and space in the dream is really the real future, then such changes will definitely have an impact. When the time comes, as long as Li Tang enters the dream again, he will be able to know it.

When the time came to 3:50 in the morning, everyone gathered in the hangar after having a midnight snack.

At this moment, the dark matte-colored [Predator] was quietly parked in the circle sign on the left side of the hangar.

Zero's voice sounded:
"The energy storage system self-test passed."

"The motor power system self-test passed."

"Radar navigation self-test passed."

"The whole machine hydraulic system self-test passed."

"The rotor variable wing system self-test passed."

"The electromagnetic stealth system has passed self-test."

"Satellite data link test passed."

……

When all the self-tests passed, Voice Zero continued:
"Dean, Predator One is ready, requesting permission to take off."

Li Tang's heart was slightly shaken. This drone was not a small drone like the previous "Hunter", but a large drone comparable in size to the WZ-8.

Chen Tianxiao, who was standing next to Li Tang, stared at the [Predator] with shining eyes, but asked with some concern:

"Dean, have you reported the launch of such a large drone?

Also, if Zero wants to control it remotely, he probably has to use a satellite data link, right?

If we are not ready, don't rush to fly, or we can just fly around the park twice, which will be considered a successful first flight."

Li Tang smiled, "Don't worry, Director Yue should be at the Eastern Air Command right now. As for the satellite data link, our satellite was successfully launched into orbit yesterday."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand gently and gave an order:

"Predator One, permission to take off, execute the flight mission according to the first flight plan A!"

"Yes, Dean, [Predator] No. 1 received!"

A mechanical sound suddenly sounded, startling everyone present.

Originally, they all thought that this drone would be controlled by Zero, at least it was Zero who was talking during the self-test process just now.

However, before anyone could react, as the mechanical sound ended, the four rotors of the Predator drone began to spin with a hum.

When the rotation speed reached an astonishing value, the entire drone was already one meter off the ground.

Then, with a whoosh sound—

[Predator] rushed out of the door and disappeared!
Everyone was suddenly in an uproar again.

Chen Tianxiao opened his mouth wide, and after a while he said, "Dean, isn't this too fast?"

"No, that's just our feeling. It's only 20 meters per second!"

Chen Tianxiao stretched his neck and looked at Building F, which was 60 meters away from the gate, and couldn't help swallowing.

"In three seconds, it was able to pull itself up vertically before hitting Building F?"

Li Tang turned his head and stared at Chen Tianxiao, "I wonder if you have amnesia?

Although the 0.5th generation [Predator] uses full electric propulsion, its climbing rate still reaches meters per second. Why can't it rise to above Building F, which is less than meters high, within three seconds?"

"Ahem, sorry, I... By the way, the Air Force radar should be responding now, right?"

"Didn't you just hear that the electromagnetic stealth system passed the self-test?
This [Predator] has a stealth function, which is a basic operation! "

"Ah?! How is this possible? This fuselage is not designed to be stealthy!"
