Chapter One Thousand and One: Borrowing the Prototype
In terms of weapons, avionics systems, etc., the upgraded aircraft did not make major adjustments, but only changed the compatibility of the weapon bay, allowing the fighter aircraft to carry more types of missiles.
"It would be better if it could be equipped with laser weapons." Lin Jianbin sighed after the live ammunition test at the 81st Division's shooting range.
Since the launch of the laser vehicle, Red Star has established a laser weapon project team to develop various large and small laser weapons. After years of rapid development, the results have been quite objective. In terms of heavy weapons, there are laser cannons for tanks and laser cannons for aircraft.
.
However, it is a pity that the laser cannon for aircraft is not so perfect in terms of size. Due to energy and other issues, it can only be used on transport aircraft and cannot be applied to fighter aircraft.
Xu Ziling shook his head, "In the laboratory, there is currently no way to make the laser generator and energy converter into a suitable size. It is too small and the power is low; it is too big and cannot be installed on a fighter plane. According to the current situation, it is estimated that
It will take another two or three years, and by then it will be officially loaded onto fighter aircraft."
Beam weapons have an absolute advantage over gunpowder weapons. Once a fighter plane is equipped with laser weapons, it will be a completely new reform for fighter planes. With the existence of a spaceship, even if the laboratory comes up with a laser weapon suitable for fighter planes, Xu Ziling will not
He would not let it come out, but it was difficult to tell Lin Jianbin these words in this place, so he could only make an excuse casually.
Lin Jianbin didn't know this, so naturally he wouldn't go into details, "I'll just say that, if every fighter plane is really equipped with laser weapons, how can anyone else have a chance to mess with it?"
Seeing his lonely and invincible look, Xu Ziling and others just thought it was funny, but seeing that the new division chiefs and others were also there, they couldn't make fun of him.
"By the way, will this kind of fighter be put into service in a short time?" Lin Jianbin didn't pay attention to the expressions on several people's faces. Lin Jianbin paused and asked Xu Ziling again.
In addition to the live-fire test, there are several other tests also completed in the 81st Division. The head of the division is very clear about the performance of the new fighter. Seeing Lin Jianbin ask this question, Division Commander Ou and Political Commissar Deng also
He immediately set his sights on Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling's eyes quickly moved around a few people, and he immediately understood what they meant.
Based on the past relationship between Red Star and the 81st Division, there is no problem in lending experimental fighters to the 81st Division. Just like the previous FY fighters, even if they are not officially installed, Red Star still lends a prototype to the 81st Division.
They came to use the new fighters in advance, so that the 81st Division became famous in the national air force?
But that was then, and this is now. After Commander Lin left, the new division commander was not the old man, but someone who parachuted down from the Air Force Headquarters. Xu Ziling did not have much interaction with him in the past year, and some things were still
It needs to be carefully considered.
It's not that he is stingy and can't bear to part with a fighter plane, but the matter of privately lending fighter planes to the army is a big or small matter. If someone really uses this issue to make a fuss against the Red Star, it would be a disgusting thing.
Shaking his head, he answered Lin Jianbin firmly: "Absolutely not! You must know that some troops have not even finished changing their FY fighters, and the front-line troops have only been equipped for a few years. How can they just change their uniforms?"
What he said was actually a very subtle indication that the upgraded model would not be loaned out for the time being. However, Lin Jianbin obviously had his own ideas and simply said directly: "How about you lend me this aircraft for a few days?"
Some people didn't understand why he asked, but Xu Ziling didn't give him the answer he wanted, because he couldn't give up his worries just because of Lin Jianbin's words. He gave him an apologetic look and pretended that he didn't see the division leaders.
With a hopeful look in his eyes, "Although this is the last test, it is a new model after all. Considering safety issues, it is really not suitable for loaning out for the time being. Let's wait for a while until we make a final evaluation, and then talk about it if possible.
"
Seeing what he said, Lin Jianbin was stunned for a moment and then immediately thought of the reason. He looked at the division leaders in a subtle way, and then nodded to Xu Ziling, "Okay, let's wait until you finish it."
Seeing this ending, several division leaders were naturally a little disappointed. However, Xu Ziling's reasons were quite strong. They just thought that the prototype was not enough to be loaned out, and they would not have any objections. After the test was completed, Xu Ziling and others would be retained.
People eat at the division headquarters.
The test had just been completed and they were still waiting for the test report to be released. Of course, Xu Ziling and others would not stay longer. They declined several leaders and then left the 81st Division.
When the car drove to the road not far from the division headquarters, Xu Ziling asked Li Cheng to stop the car. After waiting for a while, he saw Lin Jianbin chasing him out in a car.
"You dare to run away at this time?" Li Cheng shouted at him through the car window.
Lin Jianbin did not get out of the car, but Xu Ziling smiled at Li Cheng and Yang Kaiming in the back seat, "Why are you running away? This is business."
Xu Ziling shook his head and laughed. It seemed that the 81st Division still refused to give up.
The car started, and the group went directly back to Red Star. As soon as they arrived at the office, Lin Jianbin directly asked Xu Ziling why, "You don't have to say that the test was not completed. It's okay to lie to our teacher, but to me...hehe."
This is the tone of conversation between brothers.
Xu Ziling smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and gave each person a cigarette. He motioned for a few people to find a place to sit, and then explained to Lin Jianbin: "Your father used to be in the 81st Division and lent him a prototype.
There is nothing wrong with you, but now your father is gone, and I don’t have much contact with Mr. Ou, so...you should understand?"
Lin Jianbin was born into a military family, and he knew some things about the military. After Xu Ziling said this, he immediately realized the serious relationship between it.
"Haha..." Understanding what Xu Ziling meant, he laughed, "So it's because of this... My dad didn't tell you? Mr. Ou is my dad's classmate in the military academy. We have been friends for decades.
, his transfer from the Air Force Headquarters to the 81st Division is also related to my father's recommendation, I thought you should know that."
"Ah..." Xu Ziling looked surprised. It seemed that Mr. Lin had never told him this in his memory?
After looking at Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng, I found that they didn't have any surprised expressions, "You two know about this?"
Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng glanced at each other and nodded at the same time: "I know. Don't you know?"
Xu Ziling was at a loss, should he know this? But he really didn’t remember anyone telling him!
"Then why didn't you remind me before?"
"We don't know why you didn't agree because of this. We thought it was because of other problems."
