The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 647 Special Moment
The aerodynamic layout of the J-11 fighter is very advanced, and its structure reaches the world's leading level.

The power system is also very advanced, which allows the J-11 fighter to have a maximum flight speed of 2.5 Mach, a practical ceiling of nearly 2 meters, and a combat radius of an astonishing 2200 kilometers.

In terms of weapon systems, the bombs it carries can reach 10705 kg, and it can carry up to 12 air-to-air missiles or air-to-ground missiles.

As for the avionics system, it is impeccable and absolutely reaches the world's leading level.

It is precisely because of the advanced nature of the J-11 fighter that Liu Tao is full of confidence in it.

When the others heard Liu Tao say this, they were all very excited.

Although they think that F14 and F15 may be more advanced, they all know that Liu Tao is the real expert in weapons and represents authority in scientific research.

Liu Tao introduced the J-11 fighter jet to the leaders.

In other words, there are no fourth-generation fighter jets now, and no one has proposed the concept of third-generation and a half fighter jets. Otherwise, the J-11 fighter jet can be classified as a third-generation and a half fighter jet.

Because now the J-11 fighter is indeed more advanced than the Su-27 fighter, F14 fighter and F15 fighter.

After the leaders left, the first batch of J-11 test pilots arrived.

There are 11 test pilots in the first batch of J-12 fighter jets. They will be responsible for completing all test flight work of the J-11. Even though Liu Tao is very confident in the J-11 fighter jet, the necessary procedures still have to be completed.

At most, it will shorten the test flight phase.

These test pilots are elite pilots. Each of them has flown various types of Chinese aircraft, including the three American fighter jets: F14, F15 and F16.

They were selected to serve as the first batch of J-11 test pilots.

The second batch of J-11 test pilots are being selected. During the entire test flight process, there will be three batches of 36 test pilots in total over two to three years.

These 36 test pilots will participate in the entire test flight process, and will also participate in the subsequent improvement of the J-11 fighter jet and the training of J-11 fighter jet pilots.

The current J-11 fighter jet is more precisely the J-11A fighter jet, which is a single-seat, twin-engine heavy fighter jet. There will also be the J-11B fighter jet, which is a twin-seat, twin-engine heavy fighter jet.

The J-11C fighter is a single-seat, twin-engine heavy fighter, but it is a carrier-based aircraft; the J-11D fighter is a twin-seat, twin-engine heavy fighter, also a carrier-based aircraft.

As for each subsequent improved model, there will be different letters.

Liu Tao hopes that through continuous improvements in the next thirty years, the 26 letters in the alphabet will no longer be enough.

However, he will only participate in the subsequent J-11 fighter improvement work but will not invest too much energy in it. Instead, he will set up a special J-11 fighter improvement team to carry out the improvement work.

After all, he had better things, more meaningful things to do, than to work on improvements all his life.

For other aircraft designers, it is already a rare honor to be able to develop an aircraft and continue to improve it throughout their lifetime. But for Liu Tao, this is not enough. He has laid a solid foundation and completed the pioneering work, so the improvement work can be left to the team.

Ge Shun, Wang Guomin, Wei Bingyan, Liang Anguo and others looked at the three J-11 prototypes with excitement in their eyes.

Afterwards, they will start the taxiing test. Only after completing a series of taxiing tests and conducting evaluations and believing that the first flight is possible, will the J-11 fighter jet make its maiden flight.

For test pilots, nothing is more exciting than flying a brand new fighter jet.

It's dangerous, but also more challenging.

Liu Tao arranged to produce another 9 prototypes.

Guifei is not Chengfei. Chengfei has limited funds. The production of three prototypes at one time must be funded by Panshan Group. Guifei is different. With Panshan Group as a backing, it does not need to consider the cost issue. Liu Tao can produce as many prototypes as he arranges. Moreover, the process of producing prototypes is itself a process of improving the production line and training workers.

After staying in Guifei for two days, Liu Tao flew to Yangcheng, and then took a special car from Yangcheng to Zhuhai.

At this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon in Zhuhai.

However, citizens flocked to the main road, from Zhuhai Military Camp to Zhuhai Gongbei Customs. Hundreds of thousands of citizens lined the two sides of the main road, holding five-star red flags, holding red festive banners, beating gongs and drums, dancing lions and dragons, and singing red songs together.
Two years ago, the Hong Kong Garrison set out for Hong Kong, and the citizens of Pengcheng set a good example.

Today, the citizens of ZH followed suit and sent off the people’s soldiers as they set off to set foot on Macau soil.

Media reporters were filming and recording everything.

Even today, it is being broadcast live nationwide, with people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau all broadcasting this grand event.

Countless Chinese people, countless descendants of Yan and Huang, are watching this live broadcast in front of their TVs.

Although today is Tuesday, we have two days off to celebrate this special moment.

This time, unlike the last time in Hong Kong, the time was very strict.

So at five o'clock in the afternoon, the troops stationed in Australia can pass through customs.

The gate of the military camp was opened at this time, and in the front were 200 camouflaged "Lynx" all-terrain vehicles. Each vehicle carried four soldiers, including a driver and three soldiers, two of whom were holding Type 4 automatic rifles, and one soldier was holding the national flag.

The first camouflaged "Lynx" all-terrain vehicle in the front, with three soldiers holding the military flag, the party flag, and the national flag respectively, led the entire team.

紧随其后，是125辆81式轻型坦克，这125辆轻型坦克呈现1-2-2-4*N队形。

Behind it is the Type 81 infantry fighting vehicle, which is a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle.

Further behind are self-propelled artillery vehicles.

The 8000-strong 'Eagle Brigade' marched forward in a mighty procession with their steel vehicles and iron horses, letting people see what a steel torrent is!

The TV reports and guest commentators all talked about the mechanized brigade, without mentioning the combined brigade at all, and then introduced the glorious achievements of the "Eagle Brigade".

Introduce the heroic troop 'Eagle Brigade' to the audience.

The 'Eagle Brigade' also demonstrates the image of our army as a mighty, civilized and victorious army!

The 'Eagle Brigade' passed through a long main road and then lined up at the Gongbei Customs.

Before long, it was 5 o'clock.

The customs was opened and the "Eagle Brigade" passed through it in an orderly manner.

They were greeted by the citizens of Macau.

All 40 citizens of Macau came out of their homes to celebrate this great moment. Countless citizens came to welcome the troops stationed in Macau on both sides of the main road.

The troops stationed in Australia were divided into three groups. Two large groups went to the already built New Port Military Camp and Taipa Military Camp, and another small group went to the Portuguese military camp in Australia to prepare for the handover in the evening.

This is also the case now. When the second term of the Australian garrison begins, the number of troops will not be so large, but will be compressed to 1000 people!
But this time, it’s different!
