Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"Xiao Xu, what do you think of our design? Do you think there are places that can be optimized?"

In the conference room, the old man smiled at Xu Huasheng after his explanation, and the others also looked at Xu Huasheng.

In the eyes of this group of people, Xu Huasheng is a genius. And his opinion is very important.

Xu Huasheng swallowed his saliva, looked at everyone and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Well, Mr. Zhu, I just want to ask, can our bomber really reach the data we designed? Isn't this a bit too big a step?"

Xu Huasheng asked in a low voice. This data is too exaggerated, and Xu Huasheng couldn't believe it. Although he has come up with a lot of new technologies, especially material technology, some of which are material technologies that will only be available after 2030.

But even so, Xu Huasheng still thinks it's a bit exaggerated. With such data, this is not a bomber, this is a large high-speed fighter.

At an altitude of 30,000 meters, the flight speed is three times the speed of sound, and even the most advanced fighters in the United States can't catch up. You should know that the F18 used by the US aircraft carrier has a maximum speed of only 1.8 Mach. At this speed, the modified version of the White Swan can leave the F18 far behind with a little extra power.

Only the expensive Blackbird fighter can compare with three times the speed of sound. But the Blackbird is a reconnaissance aircraft. Can your strategic bomber be compared with a reconnaissance aircraft?

"Xiao Xu, that, if the technology we require can be broken through. Theoretically, there should be no problem. Strategic bombers are the country's heavy weapons. A good strategic bomber can serve for fifty or sixty years or even longer. It is understandable that we pursue more advanced performance, right..."

Mr. Zhu said in a low voice, in fact, he was a little bit empty in his heart. After all, the current design is all theoretical. If you really want to achieve the performance of this bomber, you have to look at the progress of China in some technologies in the future.

But the current design is not random, but a very rigorous design.

After listening to Mr. Zhu's words, Xu Huasheng nodded and his expression became serious.

"Mr. Zhu, if that's the case, I have a bold hypothesis. Can we use bombers as fighters?"

When Xu Huasheng said this, everyone was stunned. Looking at everyone's expressions, Xu Huasheng swallowed his saliva.

"I have an idea. If our bomber is equipped with anti-ship missiles with a long enough range, such as anti-ship missiles with a range of 1,500 kilometers or even longer, then can we use the kite-flying tactic to directly kill the enemy's aircraft carrier battle group outside the combat radius of the aircraft carrier..."

Xu Huasheng whispered, and everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

"You mean, focus on sea attacks when designing? Turn this plane into an aircraft carrier killer?"

Mr. Zhu couldn't help asking, and Xu Huasheng nodded.

"Mr. Zhu, teachers, according to our design, our White Swan's built-in magazine can carry up to 55 tons of ammunition, and with the external hanger, it can carry up to 95 tons of ammunition. This ammunition load is very strong. If it is used to carry long-range anti-ship missiles, it can easily carry 24 missiles. If our missile technology is advanced enough, it is not impossible to carry 36 or even more missiles. If we have dozens of White Swans dispatched together, this time there will be hundreds or thousands of anti-ship missiles. So many missiles will launch a saturation attack on the enemy's aircraft carrier battle group..."

Xu Huasheng's words made everyone's eyes light up, and the room became lively again, and everyone began to discuss fiercely.

Aircraft carrier killer, turning the White Swan into an aircraft carrier killer, this is really possible. Because for the modified White Swan, this is not a difficult task, you just need to pay attention to the design of anti-sea attack when designing it.

The modified White Swan has strong performance, fast speed, and high flying altitude. Fighter jets can't catch up. In this way, you can play hide-and-seek with fighter jets with super performance.

If it is equipped with missiles with a longer range, it can directly kill the enemy like a kite.

At that time, those who can beat it will not be able to catch up, and those who can catch up will not be able to beat it, and it will be a vicious circle.

Attack surface ships and kill you directly outside your air defense circle. The combat radius of an aircraft carrier battle group is only about 1,000 kilometers.

The modified White Swan has powerful performance. When it finds your carrier-based aircraft coming, it will turn around and run away. The air-to-air missile has a relatively short range and cannot reach the White Swan at all. And the fighter jets can't catch up with the modified White Swan, so they can only stare blankly.

If it is more perverted and directly develops ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles, the White Swan can kill fighter jets in the air.

And the frigates and destroyers of the aircraft carrier battle group areThe anti-aircraft missiles can't hit it either, because the range is not enough.

When the fighters can't catch up, the anti-aircraft missiles can't reach it. No matter how powerful your aircraft carrier battle group is, you can only passively take the beating when you encounter this thing. At that time, no matter how many aircraft carrier battle groups you have, it will be useless.

A White Swan can carry dozens of anti-ship missiles. If dozens of them are dispatched together, they can carry hundreds of anti-ship missiles at a time. First, they will kill the knife-carrying guards of your aircraft carrier, and then slowly clean up your aircraft carrier. You can only die of frustration.

In fact, for China in the future, the possibility of really launching a war to invade other countries is very small. Because China will implement the concept of national defense for a long time in the future. China just wants to live a good life. As long as you don't provoke me, we will be good.

So strategic bombing rarely has the opportunity to be used.

In fact, many threats to China in the future come from the sea. Some small countries bully China for not having aircraft carriers and jump around on the sea. If China produces dozens of modified White Swan, once there is a threat at sea, the White Swan will take off directly, carrying long-range anti-ship missiles, and then it will not be China that is afraid.

China's coastal defense in the south is only more than 2,000 kilometers, while the combat radius of the White Swan is as high as 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers, and it can easily fly two round trips with one refueling.

It is conceivable that if the US aircraft carrier battle group comes to the south to make trouble, what will happen if a group of Chinese White Swans fly directly over and circle around the aircraft carrier battle group.

The most important thing is that Americans also know that the White Swan's missiles can hit them, but their own weapons cannot reach China's White Swan.

It's like someone is pointing a sniper rifle at your head from a distance, and you only have a pistol in your hand and can't hit others. That feeling is absolutely very sour.

Don't move, I'll kill you if you move. That feeling is so cool.

It can be a strategic deterrent at ordinary times, and become an aircraft carrier killer when needed. Only in this way can this bomber have greater significance.

Even if China does not have an aircraft carrier battle group at that time, as long as it has this thing, it can still threaten the US aircraft carrier battle group.

Even if your aircraft carrier battle group hides in your hometown in the United States, China can kill you. After all, the combat radius of the White Swan is very terrible. Coupled with anti-ship missiles with a range of one or two thousand kilometers, it can directly reach the US mainland.

In a short period of time, China cannot quickly build a huge navy. But as long as it has this White Swan and develops an anti-ship missile with a long enough range, then China will have an ocean-going air force and can still kill you.
