Chapter 163 Broken Axe
Having said that, Cheng Yanxing stood up and bowed deeply to Wu Tong.
"This? Mr. Hua, no..." Wu Tong was a little confused by Cheng Yanxing's request. Her first reaction was to support Cheng Yanxing's movements so that she didn't bend down. As a junior, she really couldn't accept such a gift from these big guys.
"You say, just say it. Whatever you need me to do, I will do my best as long as I can do it!" Wu Tong said repeatedly. She would definitely not shirk her responsibility if she could do her best for the country.
These big guys are truly passionate about the country, and she admires and is moved by this spirit.
The security has been deployed, and Cheng Lao has sufficient authority, so he is indispensable for handling issues related to materials.
Lu Xiao's authority is no less than hers, especially after the successful test flight of the J-20 Wulong, with its superb performance and world-class status. His importance has risen several levels, making him one of the few top scientific researchers in China.
At the same time, he is also one of the top physicists and dynamicists in the country. PL-15 also needs and may need his help, and is one of her targets for help.
Therefore, after Wu Tong agreed, Cheng Yanxing started talking directly about the current status of China's air-to-air missiles.
"The air-to-air missiles currently in service in China are PL-12 and PL-13. The one under development is PL-14, which is expected to impact active radar and 100-kilometer range long-range air-to-air missiles. It has entered the final stage of technical research and development. The future pre-research target is PL-15, which is also developed in the direction of long-range!
Before that, our missiles were even more backward. The PL-11 even had a range of only 40 kilometers, semi-active radar guidance, and could only hit a single target. The nose of the aircraft had to be aimed at the target to hit it. The limitations were very high, which was always our regret at the time.
The range of PL-12 is still less than 100 kilometers, only about 70 kilometers, and the improvement is that it has an active radar. 12 and 13 have caught up a little, but there is still a big gap between them and the world's advanced goals.
To be honest, up to now in the development of PL-14, we are still not completely sure about the direction of PL-15. We really need advanced air-to-air missiles with ultra-long-range strike capability, super power endurance, and radar guidance, but the current technology and materials are all difficulties to overcome.
Especially the engine, guidance radar...
The ballistic design that Wu Tong sent over gave us a first-class missile trajectory design. Later, when I saw your optimization of the WS-15 and the real performance data of the WS-15S, I felt that I saw the hope of PL-15 becoming world-class. So, Wu Tong, I hope to get your help to help the country build an ultra-long-range, ultra-kinetic sword. I solemnly invite you to serve as the chief designer of PL-15!"
If they want to increase the range of an air-to-air missile, what they need to do is not as simple as lengthening the missile body and adding fuel!
Having been engaged in this industry for so many years, she often started from scratch, constantly accumulating experience and making mistakes to achieve every technological advancement. She is grateful for the trust of the country and is responsible for the research and development of the country's weapons. She can be said to be trembling with fear and walking on thin ice.
Now, there is finally a ray of hope, shining on their difficult project that has not yet been fully started. Hua Yanxing has always been vigorous and resolute, and is willing to ask Wu Tong for help at all costs.
Chief designer of PL-15? President Hua really thinks highly of her.
Wu Tong was stunned. "You think too highly of me, Mr. Hua. I don't need to be the chief designer! I understand how you feel and thank you for your trust. I will do my best to help you wherever you need me to. But you are a top expert in this field and you should know best that I really can't handle such a heavy burden!"
PL-15 chief designer, just hearing the title is enough to make people feel stressed.
Wu Tong didn't refuse because of pressure, but because she knew her own limitations.
"Boss Hua, although I have some basic knowledge of dynamics, I am completely unfamiliar with the air-to-air missile sector. So, how about this? You provide me with the sector and data that requires my assistance, and I will derive and transform the mathematical model to help us optimize the data to the greatest extent possible, okay?"
Optimizing data is what she is good at, but if she really wants to build an air-to-air missile from scratch, she will have to learn from scratch. President Hua may not have so much time for her to waste.
It would take her a long time to digest such a large plate.
However, Hua Yanxing is a top expert in this field, and she will be in charge of the specific layout. Wu Tong feels that she will have no problem deriving better parameters based on the existing data.
"I may need some time and some information on air-to-air missiles to conduct research and study!" Without any reserve knowledge and no basis, she had the ability but no basis for judgment. Absolute deduction and absolute direction determination were all based on the sublimation of her academic level.
She needs sufficient knowledge reserves to rely on for sublimation and deduction of the absolute direction.
There is no success without reason, and naturally there is no miracle out of nothing.
"Regarding the optimization of WS-15, I also based it on the comprehensive data provided by Mr. Yang. I happened to discuss a lot of dynamics with Mr. Lu, which gave me some inspiration and helped me deduce the optimization parameters! At that time, I still converted all the problems into mathematical models, which I was more proficient in, and then I worked out the parameters!"
Wu Tong analyzed herself thoroughly. She was really learning on the spot, but she couldn't mislead Mr. Hua that she knew everything. It was only after working on WS-15 that Wu Tong had some basic knowledge of aircraft engines.
The only thing she is really good at at the moment is mathematics, including materials science. She feels that she is still a mediocre person, and has made some splashes with her half-baked knowledge. After her special deduction, it has evolved into new materials T4 and T5. It is not that she has become a top materials expert overnight.
Her foundation was supplemented by continuous tutoring over the past two months. Now she can say that her foundation is solid and she has truly gotten started. However, she feels that she is still far from the level of materials that her teacher can eloquently present.
"You are worthy of this role as chief designer. Don't worry, I will be responsible for cooperating with you and will not let the miscellaneous matters in the institute delay you. Just focus on your research.
What information do you need? After you become the chief designer, all the permissions of the 624 Institute's database will be open to you. You can access it at will. If you need any support, just tell me. You set the direction and I will execute the arrangement! "Cheng Yanxing insisted desperately. Just based on the ballistic trajectory design, Wu Tong has become one of the top missile experts. In the aviation engine sector, Wu Tong was modest. She was able to assist in the evolution of WS-15, which was also a top expert level. In addition, Wu Tong had a few mathematical skills in China, and Wu Tong had advanced materials science skills in developing two epoch-making new materials. It was absolutely no problem for her to be the chief designer of PL-15. As long as she could make PL-15 surpass performance, she would be willing to be an assistant.
