Chapter 607: The major events of the country

This time, the military's "Nuclear High-tech" achievement acceptance meeting was the latest achievements made by our army in recent years in the top ten core high-tech military equipment projects, which are divided into power systems, aerospace satellites, long-range missiles and missile defense, naval ships, air force high-tech key aircraft, army ground vehicles, digital command systems, unmanned technology, stealth and anti-stealth technology and high-tech materials.

Xing Xingkai and Yang Xing are old relationships, and they know each other well. They have no scruples when introducing these ten major projects. He stood in a secret naval base and pointed at two dark giant whales anchored under the reinforced ceiling - the Jin-class and Shang-class nuclear submarines. He introduced with pride, "This is one of the results of acceptance, the Navy's nuclear submarines. Don't say, the Russians' technology is really real. We have been working on technology for so many years and after seeing what you have brought back, we know that there is a world beyond heaven and there are people beyond us! It is indeed some tricks for the Russians to fight against the Americans in the cold war for decades."

"These two nuclear submarines are responsible for the country's secondary nuclear strike capabilities. You also know that our country's first-generation nuclear submarines are just solving problems. The noise problem has not been solved and has become a roadblock. The Americans even ridiculed our nuclear submarines for not leaving the East China Sea, and they can listen in Hawaii in the central Pacific."

"After we obtained the Soviet technology, we took various measures such as installing seven-blade side propellers, using shock absorbing rafts on the transmission system, improving nuclear power reactors and pipelines, and covering sound-absorbing tiles outside the hull, directly reducing the noise level by tens of tens of shells, so that domestic experts happily set off firecrackers to celebrate."

"This time a test nuclear submarine approached the joint anti-submarine military exercise of the United States and Japan in the Sea of ​​Japan, and it was not noticed by them. Later, the Navy simply sent an AIP (no air propulsion engine) diesel submarine to the surface at the stern of the US aircraft carrier during the exercise, which scared the navies of the US and Japan. We released the news again, which made everyone know. The result was that the US and Japan navy, which had always been arrogant, suffered a loss and had to re-estimate the capabilities of the Chinese navy submarines. They dared not rely on their own submarines' advantages of low noise and difficulty tracking, secretly tracking our submarines, and even sneaking into our territorial waters for reconnaissance activities."

Yang Xing heard about this incident online that the US Navy was the best in the world, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force even believed that its anti-submarine and anti-mine capabilities were unique in the world. In the anti-submarine exercise, he was approached by a Chinese submarine to the inside of the most elite aircraft carrier defense circle of the United States and took the initiative to surface and provoke it. It really made the navies of the United States and Japan slapped in the face.

Yang Xing used to think it was a rumor online, but he didn't expect that he would have such a wonderful connection with him in this life. He felt very happy. It seemed that he had learned the secrets of the Soviet Union in China, and his efforts were finally rewarded.

Xing Xingkai pointed to the smaller but more powerful and agile "Shang" class nuclear submarine and said: "We are not just copying the Soviets. This experimental boat also has our world-leading technology on it. It uses a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor. During the experiment, it ran a high speed of 45 knots, and its diving depth exceeded 600 meters, which is comparable to the Alpha-class submarine used by the Soviets. However, the noise reduction has reached the level of the improved nuclear submarine of the United States "Los Angeles" class. Even if its comprehensive strength is still inferior to the latest nuclear submarines of the United States, the Sea Wolf and the Virginia class, it will at least not be too far behind. The Type 094 (advanced) strategic nuclear submarine has a reliable bodyguard."

Xing Xingkai was full of energy and obviously rarely expressed his joy. Yang Xing knew that he had been in the Navy for a long time and was proud of the achievements made by the Navy on aircraft carriers, large surface ships and submarines one after another. At that time, he saw the military news mixed with water on the Internet. Although the hope was true, reason also warned him not to expect too much. But now he saw these military achievements with his own eyes and felt pride naturally.

Visiting the Varyag and nuclear submarines is just the beginning of the "nuclear high-grade" acceptance meeting. According to Xing Xingkai, all naval equipment cannot be displayed ashore. The acceptance meeting is scattered in several venues across the country. The Northeast is the highlight. From this, we can also see the country's attention to the old industrial base in Northeast China. Although the number of enterprises shut down and transferred in the Northeast has been ranked first in the country due to a large number of employees laid off in recent years, Yang Xing knew that this was just a prelude to the rebirth of the phoenix. After large state-owned enterprises in the Northeast unloaded their heavy historical burdens and lightly entered the battle, economic development will definitely re-drive into the fast lane.

As the birthplace of domestic modern industry, the Northeast region has been developed by the Japanese and Soviets, and the heavy industry foundation has always ranked first in the country, among which military-industrial enterprises account for the majority of the military's large-scale weapons and equipment come from here. Although the Northeast region is now suffering from the temporary pain of reform, news has been reported to the Central Committee that the "Strategy for Revitalizing the Old Industrial Base of Northeast China". With the support of the central government, it will be a matter of time before the Northeast industry takes off again. Moreover, the Northeast region gathers a large amount of military research and manufacturing units across the country, so this acceptance will put the home ground in the Northeast to cheer up industrial enterprises in the Northeast. With the military's weapons and equipment demand, military-industrial enterprises in the Northeast will never fall so easily.

"Weapons are the major affairs of the country. The land of life and death, the way of survival and death must be observed." Sun Tzu's opening words of the Art of War still shines with the light of wisdom even though it spans a thousand years. Any major country in the world who can stand firm and speak with confidence is still military power. The US team is fighting all over the world. If you don't like it, you will just use a stick to pull it up. Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan fall under the iron hoof of the US military. But the countries that dare to stand up and talk to the United States are Russia, and there are several middle-class majors. Other countries either pretend not to see it or simply join the American team. Now there are few countries that dare not listen to the United States' greetings. Why is this because the US has the most powerful force!

Let’s look at Russia, which did not listen to hello, inherited most of the military power of the former Soviet Union. Although the economy continued to decline after the collapse of the Soviet Union and encountered a financial crisis in the past few years, the tiger was in a state of decline. With thousands of nuclear warheads and tens of thousands of tanks in its hand, European countries were forced to join forces and be on the defensive. The Americans still rely on the banner of "NATO" to press the military pressure on Russia. Even Americans must maintain equality in face to Russia, which often sing against them.

As China, which is rising, with its highest foreign policy and rapidly rising economic strength, some people have predicted that the new century will be the "Chinese century", but if it is military weakness, it will still be bullied. Just like the neighbor of Japan, although it is the second largest economy in the world, it is always regarded as a secret dog of the United States internationally and has no international status at all.

Therefore, not only all the military leaders were present in this "Nuclear High-tech" acceptance meeting, but several people even visited the Politburo Standing Committee members. Although the No. 1 leader and the Prime Minister did not come, Wen Rengui, who had been designated as the next Prime Minister, arrived and greeted Yang Xing, who was wearing the Air Force officer uniform, with a smile from afar.

Apart from ships parked by the sea, the real acceptance meeting is at a secret air force base in the northeast. A large number of new military achievements are dazzling, but those who understand the inside story focus most on domestic turbofan aircraft engines and the new materials they use. As we all know, the "heart disease" problem of domestic weapons has a long history, from aircraft engines to military vehicle engines, all of which have a technological gap with foreign military powers. Even the aerospace industry, which is closest to the international level, still lacks in large-thrust rocket engines compared to the United States and Russia and other countries. The gap can be seen from the development of large-thrust rockets in China that can send people to the moon.

Due to historical debts, the Chinese team is in the stage of transformation and mechanization. The lack of power of various weapons and equipment has always been a heart-wrenching problem in the minds of military experts. Fortunately, the Soviet secret file brought back by Yang Xing has complete design drawings and technical materials for various types of engines from after World War II to the 1980s, and even all the processing and manufacturing records. If you get a treasure in China, you will focus on engine material processing and aero engine manufacturing.

The biggest breakthrough in materials is to master the processing technology of titanium alloys. The former Soviet Union has always been the world's leading company in the field of titanium alloy processing, and has achieved great results in the fields of aircraft, submarines and engines. Even Americans are far behind. After mastering this technology in China, the use of J-11 aircraft, submarine hulls and aircraft engines of the former Soviet Union's Su-27 has greatly improved the performance of these weapons.

In the engine industry, it is recognized that the most difficult thing to develop is not the rocket engine, but the aviation engine. Because rocket engines are used once, and aircraft engines need to be used for thousands of hours in a row, it is completely under the monopoly of the three major international aviation engine manufacturers controlled by the United States and the United Kingdom.

As the only alien, although the Soviet aviation engines were at a disadvantage in service life, weight and fuel consumption compared to the United States and Britain's engines during the Cold War, after the efforts of Soviet scientific researchers, the most critical engine thrust and reliability indicators were still not much different from Western engines. The former Soviet Su-27 and American F-15 aircraft won a great victory in many simulated air battles, among which the Al-31 engine used by the Su-27 made great contributions.

After mastering titanium alloy processing technology in China, the new generation of high-thrust turbofan engines was overcome in the final difficulties. Due to historical reasons, China has not been able to develop a turbofan engine with its own technology, and was left behind among the five permanent members of the United Nations. At this acceptance meeting, China National University of Technology finally took off its shameful hat and took out a high-thrust high-passage military turbofan engine with complete independent intellectual property rights - "Taihang".
