Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

In the conference room, the discussion about the project lasted for a long time.

Finally, under Xu Huasheng's decision, the large aircraft project was officially launched. And this project was internally code-named the Yun-60 project.

The Yun-60 project became one of the most important projects of Saxo Aviation. As for when this large aircraft can be completed, no one knows now.

However, in the view of Saxo Aviation's technical experts, the development time of this aircraft will not be too long. After all, this is a transport aircraft, not a fighter.

For a transport aircraft, as long as it is strong and durable and has stable flight, it does not require other powerful carrying capacity. Not only that, this transport aircraft is also a civilian transport aircraft, and the standards will be further lowered.

As for the future delivery to the military, what kind of modification the military needs is the military's business. Now the super early warning aircraft project is only under discussion.

Whether this thing needs to be built in the future, how many to build, and what kind of performance indicators to use, all of this will take a long time. The early warning aircraft that China needs now is not a super early warning aircraft, but an early warning aircraft that meets the needs of the Chinese military.

For example, China has already started the research and development of a new early warning aircraft, which is an early warning aircraft based on the Y-20.

The Y-20 has already been tested, and the test flight process is relatively smooth. So other models based on the Y-20 are also being designed.

Early warning aircraft, refueling aircraft, etc., these are all very important. Now China not only has a flight platform, but also other technologies of early warning aircraft are very powerful.

These things make China confident, and they are confident that they can produce the world's top early warning aircraft. What China needs now is time. China needs a certain amount of time to turn the technology in its hands into military equipment, and then let the Chinese army completely transform.

Benefiting from the economic growth in the past two years, China's military expenditure has increased a lot. In particular, the special military expenditure in secret is more, which is completely different from the money announced on the surface.

When China wants to do big things, it often does it secretly. Everything that is shown on the surface is already completed. China likes to hide things. In the hearts of China, the more cards it hides, the more confident it is.

"Mr. Xu..."

After the meeting, Xu Huasheng came to the huge workshop of Saxo Aviation.

In the huge workshop, a group of staff were surrounding an airplane and conducting various inspections. The airplane was painted white and looked particularly strange.

There were three fuselages in total, a large one in the middle and two small ones on both sides.

The three fuselages were connected by huge wings, and the tails of the small fuselages on both sides were also connected together.

Seeing this airplane, Xu Huasheng laughed. This airplane is the famous double-tailed scorpion in the future. After continuous evolution in the future, it eventually evolved into a double-tailed dragon.

Now, this airplane has become a drone under Saxo Aviation, and it is also a civilian drone. For the design of this airplane, the technical indicators given by Xu Huasheng are not military ones.

This airplane focuses on cargo capacity, which reaches 3.5 tons, but the range is only about 2,500 kilometers.

However, this airplane adopts a modular design. Simply put, the cargo hold and fuel tank are modularized. If there is a need, just simply replace the module, the range of this aircraft will increase, and the corresponding cargo capacity will decrease.

By changing the module, the maximum range can reach 12,000 kilometers. Of course, under this range, the cargo capacity of this aircraft is only 1 ton.

Although it is only one ton, the range of 12,000 kilometers is enough to cover the entire United States after taking off from China.

The most amazing thing is that this civilian aircraft only needs to simply replace the cargo hold rack to turn the cargo hold rack under the wing into a rack for missiles and bombs.

In other words, if necessary in the future, this drone will enter the factory, and it may only take a few hours for this aircraft to transform from a civilian unmanned cargo aircraft into an unmanned bomber that can perform bombing missions.

The reason for this design is very simple. Because for aircraft, performance is very important, but the number of possessions is also very important.

For the Chinese military, it is impossible to equip this drone in large quantities. On the one hand, it is because of the price, and on the other hand, bombers are not urgently needed for China now. China is currently implementing a national defense strategy, and offensive equipment such as bombers are not currently a priority.

Since the military cannot equip it, Xu Huasheng's idea is to use it in the civilian market. Starting with cargo transportation, reduce the range, increase the cargo capacity, and the 3.5-ton cargo capacity is not low.

AndMoreover, this aircraft is a drone, and it does not need a high-paid pilot at ordinary times. It only needs to train some drone pilots on the ground.

What's more, this aircraft is mostly automatic flight. After setting the flight program, it can fly by itself.

In this process, this aircraft can continuously accumulate various flight data. These flight data can make the AI ​​intelligent flight system carried by this aircraft more and more useful.

In the field of artificial intelligence, Huasheng Group is now at the forefront of the world. Now Europe and the United States have no concept of artificial intelligence.

But in Huasheng Group, many AIs are being trained. AI artificial intelligence technology is a major trend of future development. This technology is crucial for drones.

In the future, Huasheng Group will use many civilian drones to train its own AI and continuously increase the database. In the future, the more data in this database, the smarter and more useful the artificial intelligence will be.

For drones, intelligent programs are even more important than the performance of the drone itself. The smarter the drone, the stronger its future combat effectiveness will be.

"How is this aircraft now?"

Xu Huasheng asked directly.

"Mr. Xu, this aircraft has been tested for a long time. Judging from the feedback so far, its performance has reached our design requirements. However, the automatic flight system has just started and needs to be further improved. To improve the automatic flight system, more aircraft and more flight missions are needed for training and learning..."

A staff member said directly, which made Xu Huasheng nod his head.

The aircraft has been tested almost completely now. The most important thing next is to use this aircraft. Increase the number of aircraft, increase the flight missions of the aircraft, let the aircraft fly continuously, and continuously collect various data. Only in this way can this aircraft become smarter and smarter.

Thinking of this, Xu Huasheng narrowed his eyes and had his own plan in mind!
