Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

Next to the big plane, Song Lao and the others swallowed their saliva and looked at Xu Huasheng, their eyes full of light.

Xu Huasheng just expressed his idea. Turn the An-225 into a super early warning aircraft, with a large radar on the fuselage, a common radar on the fuselage, the cabin into a data center, various large electronic pods hanging under the belly and wings, the engine replaced with a more advanced, fuel-efficient and thrust-enhanced engine, the fuselage material also replaced with a stronger composite material, and other things inside replaced with China's advanced things, and even the appearance can be made bigger.

If you don't want to spend more time on research and development, just replace the engine, replace the electronic equipment, and keep the appearance unchanged. In this way, the aircraft can be built in one or two years.

Turn this giant thing into a super early warning aircraft, not only can it see far, but also see more, see more details, and command more. If an ordinary early warning aircraft can command 100 aircraft at the same time, this thing may be able to command 500 or even 1,000 aircraft.

This is no longer an air command center, it is an air command headquarters.

At the same time, it also has super powerful electronic warfare capabilities, electronic interference, electronic suppression, and electronic attack on enemy aircraft.

It also has reconnaissance capabilities and can collect a variety of information data.

Improve the internal power system, combine supercapacitor technology with the integrated ship electrical system, and develop a super power system that can be installed on this aircraft to power better radar and electronic equipment.

For electronic warfare aircraft, the performance of radar and electronic equipment is directly related to the power supply of the aircraft. The greater the power of radar and electronic equipment, the greater the power consumption and the more power required. This is why professional early warning aircraft are modified from transport aircraft or passenger aircraft, because the engine power of this aircraft is greater and has more power.

This is also why shore-based radars are usually stronger than sea-based radars, and sea-based radars are stronger than air-based radars.

This is the simplest law of conservation of energy. The energy emitted by the radar must be converted by corresponding energy, not out of thin air.

Now, Xu Huasheng wants to use the An-225 as an early warning aircraft platform. The six super-thrust engines can provide more power. With more power, the radar and electronic equipment can increase power. With more power, the detection distance can be farther, the detection bands can be more, and more things can be seen.

The same is true for electronic equipment. With more power, more and farther things can be heard, and more things can be collected.

In the exhibition hall, several old people were stunned by Xu Huasheng's words. Looking at Xu Huasheng, then looking at the An-225 next to him, and then thinking about China's current early warning aircraft, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva. This idea is too crazy.

"Everyone, if this plane can really be built, first of all, it is a super radar station that can move quickly. When the time comes, we can drive this plane out to stir up trouble. If we encounter military exercises in the United States, India, and Japan, we can directly drive over to take a look outside the performance area. With the equipment on this plane, we can see every move in their exercise area clearly. We can also play with freedom of flight. We can also fly our planes around the public airspace outside these countries. The United States can set up a radar station at our doorstep, and we can also fly on their coast. It's a courtesy, right! And in the south of us, if we build an island and an airport in the south, we don't need to build a radar station. At that time, we can drive this plane over and plug in a ground power interface. The detection distance is three or four thousand kilometers, and half of Australia is within our detection range. Of course, the most suitable electronic reconnaissance ship is still for this..."

Xu Huasheng said with longing, and this made everyone take a breath again, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

A troublemaker in peacetime. If you have a military exercise at home and this thing is wandering around your doorstep, you will be absolutely disgusted. Because the detection distance is too far, the detection distance of three or four thousand kilometers is too terrible.

And this thing is an airplane, which can be deployed quickly.

This is much more convenient than a reconnaissance ship. For example, if a hot issue occurs in a certain place, then China can quickly take off this plane and fly to the hot airspace in a few hours to conduct real-time monitoring and reconnaissance of the hot area. This is much faster than an electronic reconnaissance ship.

Although the electronic reconnaissance ship can be made larger, the speed of that thing is slow. But the airplane is different. If there is a hot event here, the airplane can arrive at the place in a few hours. It can not only conduct reconnaissance, but also provide intelligence assistance to some countries when needed.

"Also, this thing can become an air command center during combat. It can command fighter jets on a large scale., drones, bombers. If an ordinary early warning aircraft can only command ten aircraft, this thing can command a hundred, and it can command from three or four thousand kilometers away to ensure its own safety. At the same time, it can also guide ballistic missiles from a long distance. This thing can lock onto targets from three to four thousand kilometers away. If we go to war with the United States, even if the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet is just hovering at their doorstep, we can use this aircraft seat to guide the warships and aircraft carriers to carry out precise strikes..."

Xu Huasheng said again, his imagination was getting bigger and bigger. The others listened and felt that it made more and more sense, and their eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Fuck, this job can be done..."

Song Lao slapped his thigh, his eyes full of excitement. Looking at the big guy An-225, he was so excited.

The same was true for the other people. This job can be done.

Why can't it be done? Who stipulated that the early warning aircraft can't be so big? The larger the aircraft, the larger the radar area that can be installed, the greater the radar power, and the greater the detection distance.

At that time, more different types of radars can be installed on this aircraft, air-to-air, sea-to-sea, ground-to-ground, anti-stealth, in short, the more the better, the more functions the better.

Get a bunch of electronic equipment to collect all kinds of information. It can not only monitor but also conduct electronic warfare. It is an integrated offense and defense, and the attack power of electronic warfare is absolutely strong. After all, the radar has high power and stronger attack power. If this thing conducts electronic warfare attacks on American fighter jets, it can directly confuse them.

Not to mention electronic attacks on aircraft, many warships will become blind and deaf when they encounter this thing. For example, if the current Arleigh Burke-class warships in the United States are attacked by this thing electronically, they will most likely become blind, and the radar can be burned through. This is the advantage of being big.

Anyway, this thing is big enough, and the huge cabin can hold a lot of equipment and a lot of people. The cabin of this thing is too big. When the time comes, it will be an air fortress.

In this cabin, let alone manning people, it is no problem to build a restaurant and a gym. And it can also refuel in the air. With the performance of this thing, it can cruise in the air for a long time to monitor the opponent.
