Chapter 191 Wind Tunnel Test Passed, War Affairs Bureau Meeting

In the Tianyu Xinghai workshop, engineers were busy assembling the first model.

Even a screw was screwed in by hand, and the measurement was repeatedly checked to see if it met the design of the drawing.

Special steel alloy, special stealth coating, special super-powerful electric engine.

All kinds of materials were installed in an orderly manner until the final wing.

The first sixth-generation aircraft "Baidi" was born, with a sharp and streamlined fuselage, a proud swan head, a powerful jet vortex fan, etc., all showing a full sense of technology.

Ma Tian and Su Xihua and other main engineers have been watching from the side to prevent mistakes.

You must know that if you succeed for the first time, you will fail for the second time.

The money for failure does not matter. The most important thing is confidence, whether you firmly believe that you are on the right path.

"Move to the wind tunnel workshop and start running the wind tunnel!" Ma Tian looked at the overall data of the last scan measurement and issued the next instruction.

The wind tunnel experiment that Ma Tian conducted this time was also very bold, because he decided to use the first-generation aircraft with the same proportion as the first step. Except for the ammunition mounted with sand filled with the same proportion of weight, the rest were the complete configuration of the Baidi fighter. The cost had already exceeded 100 million, even close to 1 billion.

You know, the general aircraft wind tunnel experiment is to simplify the model at the beginning, and there are also various acoustic wind tunnels, icing wind tunnels, etc., and finally the complete run.

Anyway, Leng Fangguo and other people from the research institute were watching and smacked their lips. Ma Tian has money and can really make it. If their aviation institute did this, they would have been scolded by the leaders: "Do you want to pass it?"

Under the arrangement of several engineers, two trailers began to tow the Baidi fighter to another wind tunnel test room.

This is a super wind tunnel built underground, in the shape of a round marble pier that we usually see, 12 meters high and 10 meters wide.

In addition to the transparent glass for observation on both sides, the rest are planes made of special alloys and super-strong concrete, and the bottom is a five-star-shaped super-strong fan.

The maximum wind speed of the wind tunnel was directly designed by Ma Tian to be 10 Mach, so the material requirements for the wind tunnel building are particularly high, such as the observation glasses on both sides are special bulletproof fiber transparent glass.

Under the strongest airflow speed of 10 Mach, except for some special streamlined items, basically nothing can last for 3 seconds in the wind tunnel.

Under the traction of the engineer, the Baidi fighter entered the large wind tunnel, and the fixing frame was removed and placed in the middle of the wind tunnel.

Then, the engineers left the wind tunnel test workshop one after another and began to come to the observation glass.

The operating table is located behind the transparent glass on the right. Ma Tian, ​​as the chief designer, sits in front of the operating table. On the screen in front of him are the various parameters of the Baidi fighter and the wind tunnel wind speed display.

Ma Tian checked the data of the Baidi fighter for the last time, and then pressed the vertical take-off button.

The turbine engine under the belly of the Baidi fighter in the wind tunnel began to rotate, and the blue flame gas began to spray out from the turbine port, and the aircraft wheels began to shrink back to the belly of the Baidi fighter.

After a while, the Baidi fighter was steadily suspended 3 meters above the ground.

The engineers who were watching on the side also began to cheer with fists. Although this seemed to be a trivial step for the Baidi fighter, it represented the most critical vertical take-off technology of the sixth-generation aircraft, which could already beat the whole world.

Ma Tian looked serious, observing the stability of various parameters on the Baidi fighter. After confirming safety, he began to control the wind speed in the wind tunnel.

The wind speed in the wind tunnel began to accelerate:

1m/s, 5m/s...

As the wind tunnel accelerated, the engine at the tail of the Baidi fighter also began to accelerate. Only the combined effect of the two could make the Baidi fighter stop steadily in the middle and simulate the situation of flying at high altitude.

Soon, the wind speed in the wind tunnel reached 0.4Ma, reaching the maximum threshold of the low-speed wind tunnel. At this time, the wind speed had reached 136m/s. Perhaps it would be more intuitive to change it to kilometers.

That is, the wind speed has now reached 490 kilometers/hour, which has exceeded the maximum speed of most high-speed railways. People run in and take off in one second.

The airflow ejected from the tail of the Baidi fighter also began to become stronger, used to resist the impact of wind speed, and it still maintained a stable figure in the air.

Various sensor cameras also captured various data on the Baidi, including airflow, bearing capacity, vibration amplitude, etc.

It is only 0.4 Mach now, which has already made everyone's heart hang up.

The wind speed continues to increase, and the power of the Baidi fighter's engine is also increasing.

1 Mach, soon the wind speed reached 1 Mach, and the sonic boom cloud began to form on the Baidi fighter.

"Be sure to keep it steady!" Leng Fangguo looked at the Baidi fighter bumping in the air through the glass, and his fists had been clenched tightly. 1 Mach is a hurdle, and crossing it is more than half successful.

Soon, 2 minutes passed, and looking at the steady figure of the Baidi fighter, the whole audience began to cheer for the second time.

The excited people have hugged each other and expressed their excitement.

The 1 Mach experiment was successful!

Ma Tian also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to increase the wind speed in the wind tunnel.

At Mach 2.01, Ma Tian stopped again because the sound barrier disappeared when the wind speed exceeded Mach 2.

He continued to maintain stability for 2 minutes, and the data of the Baidi fighter was stable. Ma Tian accelerated to Mach 3 again without hesitation and entered the thermal barrier.

At this time, the surface of the fighter plane was already vibrating due to the thermal barrier. The surface temperature of the aircraft body had reached 350 degrees Celsius, forming a red circle package visible to the infrared sensor.

Mach 3 is here, and the most critical moment has arrived.

Currently, there are only a handful of fighters in the world that can break through Mach 3, and there are only a few models.

Once Bai Di can break through, then needless to say, the whole country will be excited. In addition to the Dongfeng series, the country will add another national artifact.

Under the wind speed of Mach 3, the fluctuations of the Baidi fighter began to increase, and everyone's hearts became tense again.

"You must hold still!"

"come on!"

The 2-minute test time was the same as it had been for a century. Watching the 2-minute countdown end, Baidi successfully stabilized in the middle of the wind tunnel.

"ah--"

"Yeah yeah yeah~"

The whole audience cheered for the third time. There was nothing more to say. Even if it failed later, the current Baidi fighter was already at the level of the fifth and a half generations!

If the standard is lower, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a sixth-generation machine. Bai Di has already been considered a success in the eyes of Leng Fangguo!

Ma Tian also showed a happy smile, but there was still one last step, which was to test the ultimate speed of Mach 4.8.

After everyone cheered, they continued to look at Bai Di's figure, and the wind speed in the wind tunnel further increased.

Mach 3.1, Mach 3.2, Mach 4…Mach 4.78

Mach 4.8! Baidi has finally reached the ideal maximum speed of the design - Mach 4.8. This is an epoch-making fighter aircraft. This is a sixth-generation aircraft in the true sense.

After holding on for another 2 minutes, Baidi's simulated wind tunnel experiment will be completed perfectly.

Two minutes passed in the expectation of everyone. Seeing Bai Di's steady figure, the whole audience could no longer suppress their cheers, and there were deafening exclamations everywhere.

Even though they were steady scientists, they couldn't help but revel in the excitement.

With tears in his eyes, Leng Fangguo was so dazed that he touched the glass. Behind the glass was the figure of the Baidi fighter plane flying in the wind. His eyes saw the figure of the Baidi flying freely over the country.

He saw a great renaissance of the country!

The 2-minute test has passed. Ma Tian is also operating the console to continuously reduce the wind speed and the output power of the Baidi fighter engine. Finally, the wind tunnel is closed, and the Baidi fighter hangs steadily in the air, then cuts off the wheels from its belly and lands successfully.

Bai Di really succeeded, so successful that it felt unreal. Ma Tian also stood up and looked at Bai Di's figure with a smile on his lips.

"Ma Tian, ​​thank you so much!" Leng Fangguo didn't know when he had arrived at Ma Tian's side, and held Ma Tian's right hand tightly with a pair of rough hands, full of tears.

His lifelong ideal has finally come true today. More than 40 years ago, he vowed to lead his country's fighter jets to surpass the rest of the world.

Constantly struggling, constantly failing in experiments, he has experienced countless setbacks and failures over the past 40 years. He has also been decadent and thought about giving up.

Especially when the J-10 bombed during its test flight, he and Yang Gutai (Chief Engineer Yang) once suspected that they were in trouble and wanted to withdraw from the front line.

It was their old mentor who came over with a cane to comfort them: "Xiao Leng, the country needs us, who will do it if we don't do it?"

Yes, if their group of people is not up to par, who can do it? The country needs fighter planes, and fighter planes need someone to develop them.

It has stumbled all the way until now. Although the J-20 has been developed, it can only barely catch up with foreign countries.

But things are different now. Even if compared with the most advanced F35 from the United States, Baidi will definitely beat them in terms of mobility. This is enough.

As for other stealth functions, they still need to be tested.

If the stealth performance is as good as the data shown in Ma Tian's design drawings, the Baidi fighter's stealth performance is definitely far ahead.

In the drawings, Ma Tian said that the head-on RCS of the Baidi fighter is only 0.001 square meters, and the lateral RCS is only 0.02 square meters. Even the upward and downward directions, which are the most difficult to hide, are only 0.05 square meters.

What is this concept? It can be said that it is impossible for the airborne radar to detect the Baidi fighter. Only the large-scale special phased reconnaissance radar on the ground can reduce the detection range to see the Baidi fighter.

If Ma Tiande's design is true, there is no doubt that the Baidi fighter is the strongest fighter currently known on earth.

"Mr. Leng, you're so polite. This is what I should do!" Seeing Leng Fangguo's face burst into tears, Ma Tian was also a little touched.

What kind of emotions would it take to see Bai Di pass the test and have such great emotions.

Ma Tian couldn't help but look at Hong Huan and Diao Yuxuan. Sure enough, their faces were also full of tears, and they seemed to be in great emotions.

After passing the Baidi large-scale wind tunnel test, various simulation tests will follow, such as crosswind tests and ice cave tests. At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, the irregular airflow and cold currents encountered must also be considered.

These relatively simple tests can be left to specialized test engineers.

A group of people happily left the underground wind tunnel testing workshop. Ma Tian simply waved his hand and gave everyone a half-day holiday. They can just come back to work tomorrow.

It can be regarded as a way to relax the tense nerves. Baidi has been developing it for more than two months, but there is no concept of weekend breaks. Basically, everyone is working on the company's research and development every day.

Ma Tian's move undoubtedly made the whole audience cheer again.

Leng Fangguo looked at the excited crowd with a smile, and said to Ma Tian beside him: "Everyone has worked hard during this period!"

"Old Leng, why don't you take advantage of this time to go out for a walk? You have been in Xiang City for more than two months, and you haven't been out!" Ma Tian suggested. Old Leng and his team are also very hard-working. They have been doing research and development for more than two months on business trips.

Why not take advantage of today to go to the famous May Day Square and Orange Island to check in, eat stinky tofu, etc., so that it is not in vain to come to Xiang City.

"Forget it, Hong Huan and others can go and have fun!" Leng Fangguo shook his head and refused, and then said, "I may have to hold a meeting with the War Affairs Bureau to talk about the current achievements, and then show you the credit!"

With such an achievement as Baidi, Leng Fangguo must pretend in front of Wang Chenbo and others. Of course, the most important thing is the national strategic layout.

The birth of Baidi must have a huge impact, and the corresponding strategy must also be changed accordingly.

"Okay, when I'm free, Old Leng really wants to go to Xiang City."

In an independent office, Leng Fangguo opened the highest meeting of the War Affairs Bureau. Army representative Wang Chenbo, Navy representative Wen Jin, and some other important personnel attended the meeting.

Wang Chenbo looked at Leng Fangguo's tense face and asked worriedly on the spot: "Old Leng, what's wrong? Why do you feel like you have been wronged in Tianyu Xinghai?

Let me tell you, Ma Tian has a bad temper, but he has a good heart and his skills are impeccable. You'd better be more accommodating."

What Wang Chenbo is most worried about is that Ma Tian and Leng Fangguo are not in harmony. After all, based on his understanding of Ma Tian, ​​Ma Tian will not care about your status in technology, and you have to fight for it.

Wen Jin sat on the Diaoyutai, looking at the two of them, without saying a word, thinking that Wang Chenbo really favored Ma Tian.

"What do you think? How could I be wronged!" Leng Fangguo glanced at Wang Chenbo, not knowing what nonsense he was talking about.

Then he said seriously: "The international situation is becoming more and more unstable, and the eagle sauce has a wolfish ambition!"

"Huh?" Listening to Leng Fangguo's words, everyone was a little confused. What happened today? What stimulated him in Tianyu Xinghai?

Wang Chenbo and Wen Jin looked at each other, and finally Wen Jin said: "Old Leng, do you have any plans?"

"Well, I heard a "Nantianmen Plan" from Ma Tian, ​​which is good. I think it can be released!" Leng Fangguo said.

After that, he directly shared the screen and played the science fiction video of "Nantianmen Plan" made by Ma Tian.

Speaking of which, this video was made by Ma Tian and Leng Fangguo, saying that the Baidi fighter was just a small step, and the regular one should have an aerospace fighter platform with outer space combat capabilities.

Leng Fangguo certainly didn't believe it at the time, and then Ma Tian simply asked the media department and the modeling department to make a rough video of "Nantianmen Plan" in his mind.

Anyway, Leng Fangguo was quite shocked after watching it, and it made his blood boil, but it was a little unrealistic.

However, today's wind tunnel experiment of the Baidi fighter made him feel that it was a little possible.

My God!

The short film was only two and a half minutes long and it was over very quickly.

As Leng Fangguo expected, Wang Chenbo, Wen Jin and others didn't believe it. This aerospace aircraft carrier was too ridiculous. They knew it was impossible to have such a heavy aircraft carrier hanging in the sky.

Not to mention the various advanced fighters on it, which were cool, but they were all science fiction.

"Will this work? It looks too fake!" Wen Jin raised his doubts.

"What if the Baidi is unveiled?" Leng Fangguo smiled.

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked and looked at Leng Fangguo. Good guy! What did they hear?
