Chapter 358 Live ammunition drills
"...I really didn't expect it!"
Regarding Yang Kaiming's answer, Captain Zhang sighed like he was talking to himself for a long time after listening to it.
"If we want to order a few aircraft, how do we contact the manufacturer?"
Seeing such superior performance equipment, it would be a lie if Captain Zhang was not tempted. Xu Ziling never mentioned this aspect during the introduction before, but he had the idea of ordering it, so he asked Yang Kaiming.
Xu Ziling and the other three came to the aircraft carrier, and promoting the "Fierce Dragon" was what one of them wanted to do. Before they even raised the idea, Captain Zhang took the initiative to bring it up, which made Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng very happy.
They were happy in their hearts, but there was no expression on their faces. They looked at each other, and Yang Kaiming replied:
"If you have such intention, you can go directly to the military factory for inspection. Of course, we can also notify people from the military factory to come and negotiate with you."
"It will be no problem if we can contact the manufacturer. This matter cannot be rushed. We will discuss it when the time comes."
After Captain Zhang got the news that he could contact the manufacturer, he didn't say much more. Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng could also understand that after all, purchasing tens of millions of pieces of equipment was not something he could decide alone. It would take some time.
Only then can it be determined.
Anyway, Captain Zhang said this, which at least means that he personally has this intention. For one of the purposes of their coming here, it can be said that it has been completed.
"Tell me more about this 'Eagle Eye' system!"
Captain Zhang was very concerned about the "Eagle Eye" matter. Yang Kaiming's previous answer obviously did not satisfy what he wanted to know, so he raised the question again.
Although Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng were aware of this matter, they did not personally participate in it, and they did not know how to address some of the related issues.
After thinking about it, Yang Kaiming looked at Xu Ziling again and found that he was already a little free, so he said to Captain Zhang:
"I think it's up to Lion to tell you the specific matters in person. After all, we haven't personally participated in it, and there are some things we're not familiar with."
Captain Zhang is now only thinking about figuring out the system. He is eager for Xu Ziling, the developer, to answer him personally. Of course, he nods in agreement with Yang Kaiming's proposal.
Seeing that Captain Zhang agreed, Yang Kaiming raised his hand and greeted Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling, who had just been idle for a while, heard Yang Kaiming's shout and looked at Captain Zhang next to him. He knew that Captain Zhang must be looking for him with something, so he greeted Gao Xianxian and ran over.
"Hello, Captain Zhang."
Xu Ziling first greeted Captain Zhang, and after receiving a response, he asked Yang Kaiming: "What's the matter?"
"That's it..."
Yang Kaiming briefly recounted what he had just said to Captain Zhang, and then told him the questions Captain Zhang asked.
After Xu Ziling heard this, he knew what Captain Zhang was thinking.
The emergence of "Eagle Eye" has had a great impact on the military. The "Eagle Eye" equipped on the aircraft carrier is still in the secret testing stage, but it should be used in weapons here. Presumably this pair
For Captain Zhang, this is an unsolvable problem.
Yang Kaiming's previous simple answer certainly could not satisfy Captain Zhang's curiosity. It was expected that he would be asked to answer at this time.
After organizing his words in his mind, Xu Ziling finally spoke:
"Captain Zhang, to tell you the truth, this system was created by me personally. Speaking of this, I have to mention the 'Fierce Dragon', because this thing itself was created when I was designing the 'Fierce Dragon'.
And the derivative products created.”
"Due to some reasons during this period, this new type of radar was developed before the 'Fierce Dragon' project was officially established. It happened that I went to the South China Sea Fleet for some matters at that time, so the idea of testing this new radar in the South China Sea Fleet came up."
"You must also know that some things happened in the South China Sea at that time, and these things were the product of the equipment of the 'Eagle Eye' system."
"You may not believe it. When I came up with this radar, I didn't think about how useful such a thing would be in the military. But after the South China Sea incident, with the advice of some elders, I finally
This aspect was taken into consideration.”
"So I handed over the relevant technology to the state, but at the same time, I also agreed that I and my company can use this technology for free under certain conditions, so now the 'Fierce Dragon' you see is equipped with
This new radar system."
For some people, Xu Ziling believes that there is no need to keep the identity of his military factory secret, because after all, in the future, more equipment will appear, and he will come into contact with more and more military personnel. Now he is secretive
If you keep it secret, one day others will find out. In this case, you might as well just tell it.
This is why he told Captain Zhang in detail about the "Eagle Eye" system.
The appearance of "Eagle Eye" is the greatest honor in any researcher's life. When he knew that the young man in front of him was working hard to design a new radar that he had been exploring the origin of, Captain Zhang's first feeling was:
This young man is definitely a genius, more genius than any other genius.
But from the words that followed, when he learned that he was also responsible for the design and development of the "Fierce Dragon", he couldn't think of a word to describe this young man.
It took Captain Zhang more than twenty years to join the army as a teenager and to reach this point from the grassroots level. During this time, he witnessed the rapid changes in China's military technology.
He has also seen countless talents in the field of military science and technology, but compared to the young man in front of him, he can definitely say that he has never seen such a monster before.
"It seems that what you two guys just said is not quite true. It seems that the relationship between the Red Star Military Factory and you guys is unusual. That's just right. If the ship is sure to order, I will come to you."
After listening to what Xu Ziling said, Captain Zhang didn't say much more on this topic. He pointed sideways at Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng, and the two said jokingly.
What he meant was that when Yang Kaiming told him just now, he did not explain the relationship between them and the military factory, but when Xu Ziling came, it was clearly stated.
Of course, Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng could understand this meaning. They did not explain it clearly before, but now that it was pointed out, they were a little embarrassed.
But since Captain Zhang could say it in such a relaxed tone, he must have no objections, so the two of them laughed a few times to deal with it.
Captain Zhang was joking to begin with, so he didn't talk much about this topic. He changed the subject and let Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng go.
"Well, I see that after you have introduced so much, everyone is very interested in the actual performance of these two helicopters, including me, of course, so I thought you might as well have a live-fire exercise? That's fine.
Let us see it, and in this case, we will have a better reason for ordering, right?"
Xu Ziling was not surprised by Captain Zhang's request, so he readily agreed:
"Okay, no problem! You can arrange the drill method."
"There's no need for competitions or anything like that. With this new radar, I don't think anyone can do it. I'll just show off its accuracy. This should be easy."
"No problem, but I need to make some simple modifications on the missile."
"Oh? Do you know how to do this? Why do you need to modify it? To increase the accuracy?"
"Some simple things are still familiar. As for the modification, it is because I need to add a module to the missile to process new radar signals, so that the guidance signal of the missile can be converted into the signal of the 'Eagle Eye' system. In this way
It can really increase the accuracy of the missile."
"So that's it. Then let me ask you, once we purchase the 'Fierce Dragon', will it need to be modified by you every time we purchase missiles?"
"This is not necessary. This modification is only temporary. We have already cooperated with the Northern Military Industry. In the future, their PL and other series of missiles will have versions specifically for the 'Fierce Dragon'. Anyone who has ordered the 'Fierce Dragon'
Unit, you just need to purchase this version directly from now on."
"Oh, that's good! Then go and prepare. I'll have someone go to the weapons depot to get some ammunition."
"good!"
After the matter was settled, Captain Zhang called for people to get the ammunition, while Xu Ziling and the others reunited at the helicopter to prepare for the live-fire exercise.
"Lao Gao, the 'Fierce Dragon' will conduct a live-fire exercise later. You can tell everyone about it, and ask the ground crew to quickly bring the aircraft to the hangar to help us refuel."
As soon as he returned to the plane, Xu Ziling found Gao Xianxian and said to him.
Gao Xianxian was very surprised that the "Fierce Dragon" suddenly had to conduct live-fire drills, but he immediately became happy again:
"What? Live-fire drill?...Okay, everyone just wants to experience it, so I'll tell everyone about it."
"Be quiet, be quiet..."
"Dear comrades, the 'Fierce Dragon' will conduct a live-fire drill soon. Everyone should be prepared to experience it. And the ground crew, please help these two guys get refueled in the hangar and prepare for takeoff."
"Wow..."
Gao Xianxian's words immediately caused an uproar in the crowd. Live-fire drills are the most enjoyable. So everyone became excited again, and several ground staff, without Gao Xianxian's instructions, immediately began to take action and prepare.
Lowered the two planes into the hangar.
Chapter completed!
