Chapter 194 Finalization
On the afternoon of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Lu Xiao personally came to the 624th Institute and delivered the guidance device component diagram. Radar, infrared detector, optical sensor... every component and every line were clearly shown, making it easy to understand at a glance. Wu Tong gave a thumbs up and was full of praise.
"Based on the new array radar, we have refined the radar and detection sensors, and simultaneously upgraded the tracking algorithm control system... We hope it will be compatible with the new PL-15." Lu Xiao carefully explained to Wu Tong the concept of the guidance device he designed. The design actually does not take too much time, and they strive for perfection and upgrade it on the original basis.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu!" Wu Tong thanked him. Designing and upgrading these things required a lot of effort.
"These technologies are also something that Weilong can use, so we worked together to tackle them!"
This foundation was originally conquered by his team in the past few years. Now it is time to upgrade it. It is not a big project, so he did not pull it out to work on it separately. He supervised the preparation of Weilong and carried out the research at the same time.
Wu Tong nodded. She now understood the importance of this.
Powerful radar systems can be used by land, sea and air, and anti-missile systems are a national defense line. An ideal anti-missile system can completely intercept enemy missile attacks. Missiles are the best carriers of nuclear weapons. Therefore, a complete anti-missile system can be called a "nuclear weapon terminator" under existing technological conditions and has important strategic significance.
Real-time maintenance and updating are essential principles.
The guidance device was in place, and Lu Xiao stayed behind to follow up on the preparations. Within two days, the instrument cabin of the guidance device was completed, and other parts were completed simultaneously. The engine production line was built, and multiple units were prepared and assembled. The missile body was delivered, and everything was ready, and assembly began.
Hua Yanxing transferred the most skilled welding master from the 624th Institute to be responsible for the final assembly, welding and spraying of PL-15.
With the completion of the final operation, soon, a warhead with sharp and smooth lines, snow-white spray coating and blue-marked missile appeared in front of everyone in the core team. The PL-15 air-to-air missile was officially finalized!
Everyone looked at the final perfect result with anticipation and excitement. Compared with conventional missiles, her size was petite, only 2.6 meters long.
However, only the core researchers who participated in its manufacturing understand how much energy is contained in this tiny body, and how many world-leading advanced technologies are gathered in it!
Super fuel, super ammunition, scramjet, super high temperature resistant coating, super guidance, super control system, super missile body...
According to estimated data, it can reach a range of 270-300 kilometers and a penetration speed of more than Mach 5. Its advanced radar enables it to have the ability to lock onto targets 300 kilometers away, and truly have beyond-visual-range combat capabilities.
Shooting down an enemy plane with one missile is a routine operation.
The first test was completed, and the rest was repeated. One by one, the first batch of PL-15 air-to-air missiles, a total of ten, were produced for the first batch of tests.
After declaration, preparation, and approval, the PL-15's first test was approved, and two days later, it was officially tested.
On February 14, early in the morning, four important figures from the 624th Institute came one after another, including Chu Hengyuan, the leader of the Research Department, Lin Zheming, the general manager of the Aviation Group, Liu, the leader of the Air Force, and Wu, the leader of the Artillery. These four people are also the investors of the PL-15 project.
When they arrived, a brand new J-20 landed at the airport. It will be used to carry out today's live-fire test.
The PL-15 was built with it as the core, and it is only with its participation that it is truly complete.
Captain Xiang Lei Ming, the first test pilot of the Weilong and also the leader of the Weilong formation, carried out this experimental mission.
"Mr. Wu, seeing is believing. I finally meet you. Thank you for your great contribution to the Chinese Air Force!" As soon as Air Force leader Liu saw Mr. Hua and Wu Tong, he immediately stepped forward, saluted them and extended his hand to shake hands with Wu Tong.
Afterwards, they did not ignore Hua Yanxing and Lu Xiao who were standing beside them. "Thank you, President Hua and President Lu, for your support!"
"Old Liu, you are too narrow-minded. It should be a great contribution to Chinese science and technology and Chinese military!" The artillery leader Wu criticized his old comrade and saluted simultaneously.
The new super high-temperature resistant coating was escorted to a confidential factory and put into production immediately. Experiments were carried out on missile modification with new super fuels and new super ammunition. The results were quite good. On the basis of the original, both the power and range were increased by 30% to 50%. If further refined, the data could be even higher. These data have made him happy to this day.
"Thank you for your trust, leaders. We have finally lived up to your expectations. Welcome to come and inspect the new PL-15 air-to-air missile!" Although it was the first time they met, they had dealt with each other in the internal system. Wu Tong responded calmly and led everyone into the monitoring room.
At nine o'clock, ten brand new PL-15s were loaded into the Weilong ammunition compartment, and the Weilong was ready for takeoff. A report sounded in the inspection room. "All ready, Weilong requests to take off!"
"Received, the Weilong is allowed to take off!" Air Force Leader Liu glanced at Wu Tong, and after getting her affirmative nod, he picked up the paging microphone and conveyed the order.
The Weilong instantly moved, with a blue tail flame bursting out. After a short glide, it instantly took off and flew straight into the sky. "Every time I see the Weilong take off, I can't take my eyes off it. It's so cool and awesome!"
"General Wu, General Lu, we can't always take care of the Air Force. We have already let the Air Force take the lead. When you have time, come and give guidance to the Second Artillery, the Army and the Navy. We are all eagerly looking forward to your arrival. Army Commander Lei and Navy General Lu asked me to tell you that they sincerely welcome you!"
They are weak on their own, and if they put pressure on the land and sea, the three parties will be able to suppress the air force that is now so proud! As for how to distribute the top experts like Wu Tong and Lu Xiao after they lower their eyes, it depends on the wishes of these two experts and their own ability to fight for it!
We can’t always let the Air Force take the lead and be so complacent.
"Old Wu, I'll return your words to you. You are narrow-minded. Now is the era of science and technology, air combat is king. President Wu and President Lu are far-sighted. How can you drag your feet? The J-20 has been finalized, and we still have the J-35 to develop. We are now preparing to apply for the project, and we urgently need your help!"
Lu Xiaogang delivered the J-20 J-20 in an extraordinary manner. Since Wu Tong entered the military, he has been digging deep into the aircraft sector. Seeing the good trend, they are a family and cannot be poached by other shameless people!
Starting from the Air Force, the goal of leading the world may most likely lie in these two great experts, so they better keep an eye on them!
The glorious rise of their air force has laid a solid foundation, and they are just waiting for the right wind to fly!
