Since ancient times, naming weapons after nicknames or even conferring official titles has been an effective way to boost morale and deter the enemy.
All countries have similar practices. They give their weapons a nice and powerful name, which sounds nice when shouted and domineering when used.
For example, in terms of fighter jets, the Airfo 86 is also known as the 'Sabre', the Airfo 80 is also known as the 'Meteor', the Airfo 4 'Phantom', the Airfo 5 'Tiger', the Airfo 105 'Thunder King', etc.
.
Of course, naming your opponent's weapons is exactly the opposite.
For example, MiG 15 is called the "firewood bundle", MiG 17 is called the "Mural", MiG 19 is called the "Farmer", and the second generation MiG 23/27 is called the "Flogger".
15 fighter, was named 'Slender Mouth Bottle'.
There are many weapons in the history of flower growers, all of which are very majestic and have jingling names, such as the Sky Thunder, the Sky Cannon, the Underwater Dragon King Cannon, and the Fire Dragon Out of the Water.
As for fighter jets, there are Raptors, Flying Leopards, Long-billed Whales, Black Panthers, Xiaolongs, Menglongs, Veyrons...
etc.
The current anti-gravity aircraft also has a name, code-named fws-2. The official name is the 'Air Ship Series', and the one being tested is the 'Air Ship-2' type.
The 'Kongship-2' aircraft has received a lot of attention, not only from domestic but also from abroad.
The 'Kongship-1' model was exposed before, and the 'Kongship-2' model has been receiving huge attention since its design and manufacturing. The relevant R&D and manufacturing work is done at the anti-gravity aircraft research base, and has not been fully completed.
Confidentiality.
This is mainly because if nothing unexpected happens, the ‘Kongjian-2’ aircraft will be officially unveiled in October.
Since it is about to be officially unveiled and exhibited, and it is the only and most high-end anti-gravity aircraft in the world, whether it is kept secret or not is no longer important.
So the official test flight simply invited reporters to interview, including several reporters from major foreign media. However, the reporters were restricted to a fixed hilltop area, and they could film from a distance.
In fact, the main purpose of inviting reporters to interview is to show the world the most cutting-edge applications of anti-gravity technology and superconducting technology in the aviation field.
When it comes to the most cutting-edge products in the world, many countries have the same approach.
For example, the most advanced aircraft carriers and the most advanced fighter jets have been reported from the very beginning of their design, and will be reported again and again in the future. It is even said that the aircraft carrier and fighter jets have not been manufactured yet, and their parameters have been exposed.
.
These are all proactive behaviors.
When it comes to the most cutting-edge technology and military products, we are not afraid of having the parameters or the technology used exposed. Instead, we hope that more people will know about it.
When there are more reports and more attention, we can showcase technology and military power, thereby increasing our international influence.
There are so many benefits.
On the one hand, it can act as a deterrent; on the other hand, public display can increase international influence.
There are more domestic considerations, such as technology and market in superconducting related fields.
Nowadays, the division of scientific and technological products in various fields in the world has gradually become clearer. In most fields, flower growers are not top-notch, and the top profits belong to other countries.
The field of superconductivity is a brand new field, and it is bound to be an area of ​​great influence in the future, with amazing market potential.
Now we have mastered the most high-end superconducting technology, as well as other technologies and applications associated with superconducting, including anti-gravity technology, superconducting battery technology, superconducting motors, etc.
Against this background, we must continue to carry out publicity, so that when the world thinks of superconductivity, it can think of products from flower growers and that kind of ultra-high-end technology.
After that, it will naturally bring continuous high profits.
to be honest.
Money is everything.
Only with sufficient economic strength can we invest large amounts of research and development funds and develop higher-end technologies.
This is a virtuous cycle.
If you focus on R&D, even if you create "a few killer features", the follow-up funds will not be able to support it, and the technology may be slowly surpassed by others.
In addition, the increase in influence is also very important. For example, the influence of aviation displays may allow the aviation field to obtain more orders in the future, and every international order in the aviation field can bring very high profits.
At this time, dozens of reporters gathered in the open area at the top of the hill. They all set up their cameras and pointed them at the large disk in the open space in the distance, preparing to take pictures.
Because the test was just about to start and there was still a lot of free time, they couldn't help but discuss, "This Sky Ship Type 2 seems to be a bit larger than Type 1, right? Although there is no clear data, the diameter of Type 1 should be twenty meters.
about."
"Looking at the pictures that were released, the information should be about the same, but this one is indeed a bit bigger now."
"Do you think this test flight will be successful? I heard that there seems to be supersonic cruise. It should be very dangerous for this kind of aircraft to fly at supersonic speeds, right?"
"It will definitely work!"
A domestic reporter said seriously, "Although I also feel that supersonic cruise is dangerous, I believe in Wang Hao. This is the aircraft that Wang Hao is actively researching."
"Indeed!"
Other reporters also said, "Academician Wang Hao, you are really trustworthy!"
"He seems to be able to do anything!"
"That's super genius!"
"That's awesome!"
"It's because of Wang Hao that we have the current flying saucer!"
"Yes, Wang Hao has researched anti-gravity technology. It is said that superconducting batteries and motors are also related to him..."
"In any case, this airship flying saucer is the most high-end product integrating cutting-edge superconducting technology..."
“It’s so worth looking forward to!”
…
In the open space in the distance.
The No. 2 leader has already issued the start order, and then all relevant personnel began to get busy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at the busy scene, many people standing on the periphery were a little worried, because there were reporters filming in the distance, which can be said to be an internationally public test flight.
When the testing work is open to the international public and is very important, it is best not to make any mistakes.
This will also put a lot of pressure on the testing work.
Wang Hao also felt a little worried. After all, success was not 100%, but he still showed a relaxed expression.
Even if there are no reporters filming nearby, he knows that he must appear relaxed in order to give others confidence.
On this field, he is more important than the leader and is the real backbone.
Finally, the test began.
This is a comprehensive test, and the requirements are naturally very high.
When Kongjian-2 was officially activated, its huge body immediately slowly levitated.
Straight-line suspension is the take-off action.
When it floated to a height of twenty meters, the aircraft began to move laterally, and then the leading side immediately raised its head. It was obvious that the acceleration became faster.
The feeling of many onlookers is that the air-ship type 2 takes off much less noisily than conventional fighter jets, and it does not produce a huge roar even when accelerating.
This is one of the differences between electric propulsion and aircraft engines.
When the aircraft engine speeds up, it will produce a huge roar. You must wear earplugs to watch, otherwise your ears will be greatly affected. However, relying on electric propulsion alone will not make such a loud roar.
Of course, electric thrusters also have disadvantages, that is, the thrust generated is far less than that of aircraft engines.
This is not a problem at all on anti-gravity aircraft, because anti-gravity can greatly reduce the weight. The take-off weight of the aircraft is only about three tons, which is about the same as a heavier car and much smaller than an ordinary airplane.
Kongjian-2 quickly rose to an altitude of 500 meters and turned into a small black dot in the field of vision, but there were more things that could be seen. It was obvious that there was an upward diagonal line in the sky.
White line. The appearance of the white line indicates that the auxiliary power unit is started. The cooled nitrogen is sprayed out under high compression, cooling the air in the nozzle and causing the water vapor to liquefy.
"This is a newly added nitrogen injection system." Wang Hao explained to others who didn't understand. "Using electric propulsion alone, even a superconducting motor, can only provide limited power, especially at high altitudes.
, as the altitude increases, the air will become thinner and thinner, and the role of the electric thruster will become smaller and smaller."
"The nitrogen injection system is to eject compressed nitrogen. To a certain extent, it can be understood as a rocket engine."
"Of course, only part of it..."
The appearance of this white line can explain a lot of things.
To be continued...
