From small town academic to chief scientist

Not long after, the huge lecture theater was filled with people.

Previously, Zhou Yi originally wanted to focus on the distribution of the engines of the sixth-generation aircraft.

But there are so many people. According to what Academician Ma said, all researchers on the sixth-generation aircraft have already arrived.

Zhou Yi only made temporary changes, and it turned into a discussion of the entire sixth-generation machine.

This meeting is expected to last for many days.

It is considered a success if it can be opened within a week.

Zhou Yi took the microphone and said with a solemn tone:

“We previously roughly divided the technologies of sixth-generation fighter jets into 9 to 10.

Our Chongqing High Court has already done most of this, including the stealth capabilities of aircraft, large-scale integrated sensors, artificial intelligence technology, network attack capabilities and the capabilities of mixed manned and unmanned aircraft formations. "

Everyone listened to the achievements that had been made. Just loading these achievements on the fifth-generation fighter jets had already brought about leaps and bounds.

If the remaining directions are successful, it will definitely change the world.

“So far, we have overcome advanced optoelectronics again.

Advanced photoelectric technology is also one of the technical features of the sixth-generation aircraft, which is also a requirement for the application of intelligent skin on the sixth-generation aircraft.

As we all know, traditional electronics may give way to photonic devices using a multiplexed fiber optic bus that connects all systems,

Reduce the number of connecting wires on board, and because it can operate on different wavelengths, large amounts of data can be transmitted faster, and the wiring harness will weigh much less.

At the same time, fiber optics are also resistant to interference or false data and are less susceptible to cyberattacks. "

Academician Ma on the side added:

“This is also one of the core technologies of our current fifth-generation new fighter jets.

It is also one of the main means of resisting electronic interference and network interference. "

Zhou Yi nodded and continued to hold the microphone and said:

"So there are still three, or to be precise, four technologies before us that we need to solve."

"Hypersonic flight, adaptive variable cycle engines, deformation capabilities and directional weapons."

“The most important one is the adaptive variable cycle engine.”

Zhou Yi said slowly.

In addition to various experts and professors, there were also many generals and military experts present.

The development of sixth-generation aircraft is closely related to a country’s comprehensive strength.

It is a powerful weapon and a super magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

"Hypersonic flight not only refers to fighter engine performance, but also missile performance.

If you want to avoid being intercepted, you have to be fast enough. If you want to hit the enemy quickly, you have to be fast enough. "

"Everyone here knows that hypersonic missiles are being studied by Russia, Europe, the United States, North Korea, island countries, Australia and other countries, and we are also studying them.

The first time Tsarist Russia used hypersonic missiles was during that war, probably on March 18, 2022. "

"It is a ship-based hypersonic cruise missile that can fly at speeds of Ma6 to Ma 8.

It adopts a two-stage propulsion design, with the first stage being a solid rocket motor booster and the second stage being a scramjet engine using liquid fuel. "

Zhou Yi gave a brief introduction.

Then he started to introduce other content,

"Deformation technology is a potential development direction for the aerodynamic layout of sixth-generation fighter jets.

That is, by changing the shape, the best aerodynamic performance of the aircraft in different flight conditions is achieved.

Thereby improving flight performance, expanding equipment functions, and providing high economy and combat effectiveness. "

“This is also a technology we need to overcome, but this content will be done by the people who were in charge before.

As for the required drawing software and mathematical geometric principles, professors from the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and the Institute of Mathematics of Chongqing High School will work closely together. "

If a sixth-generation fighter jet cannot transform, it is not worthy of being called a sixth-generation fighter jet.

Now that the talents, equipment, and technology are in place, there is no problem with the deformation design.

Academician Li on the side was in charge of this section. He took Zhou Yi's words and said:

“With the development of smart materials and flexible skin technology, the implementation of deformation technology has gradually changed from the mechanical deformation technology used in the F-14 swept wing to intelligent deformation technology.

Compared with traditional mechanical deformation devices, intelligent structures have the characteristics of light structure, continuous stepless deformation, and flexible deformation. "

Zhou Yi also has a deep understanding of the sixth-generation machine. After all, the mission has been released, and the design is related to geometry.

Therefore he added:

“I think the existing and under-development deformation technologies can mainly focus on lift surfaces and control surfaces such as wings, side strips, and rudder surfaces, and adopt the following deformation forms:

(1) Deformation that changes plane parameters such as wing aspect ratio, sweep angle, and wing area; (2) Three-dimensional deformation of the wing; (3) Flexible rudder surfaces at the front and rear edges of the wing; (4) Active elastic deformation of the wing and deforming winglets; (5) adaptive deformation of the inlet; (6) deformation of other layout structures. "

Academician Li has conducted in-depth research in this direction, and he and Zhou Yi complemented each other and said:

"Professor Zhou is absolutely right, and he is extremely insightful.

For example, Boeing's F/A-XX uses a canard layout, which is on the same plane as the main wing and can deflect and merge front and rear at the same time.

If you want to engage in combat, you can open the canard wings to improve combat performance. When cruising, you can merge them into one wing to reduce radar coverage and improve stealth performance. "

While the two were talking, the professors and experts in this field in the audience started recording with pens and paper.

The people in the military also nodded. These professors and experts really have something.

Zhou Yi and Academician Li discussed this issue,

It took two days to finish, from theoretical design to experimental design, to possible problems, and the necessary knowledge reserves in all aspects.

After talking for two days, we finally had a generally feasible direction.

On the third day, Zhou Yi gathered with a dozen academicians who were mainly engaged in sixth-generation aircraft, as well as several senior military officials.

"Professor Zhou, is there any chance to build the first sixth-generation machine this year?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Yi with expectation in their eyes.

Zhouyi solved most of the problems of the sixth-generation machine, although it also left many problems.

But Zhou Yi is now leading them to do it again.

The sixth generation machine is just around the corner.

Zhouyi said:

“Looking at everyone’s progress this year, I think it is possible to release a style machine.

It also needs testing, flight testing, etc., which all take time. "

Everyone clenched their fists and prepared to fight to the end.

This year we must build Daxia’s first sixth-generation aircraft.

If not for anything else, just to vent bad anger, just to lead the world.

Zhouyi said:

"Are those people from the Institute of Physics here? We need help from them for directional weapons.

Some functions of CEPC are already available and can be fully invested in the development of super-powerful laser weapons. "

Directional weapons also involve many aspects,

The manpower and material resources required are not a small number.

Not to mention the various theories inside, the required materials, etc.

"Come, everyone is here. There are more people today than before, and they have all signed a confidentiality agreement."

Zhouyi said:

“In addition to laser weapons, traditional modified weapons are needed.

Such as air-to-air missiles. "

Speaking of air-to-air missiles, several generals on the side obviously knew the inside story and said:

“Professor Zhou is right, the sixth-generation aircraft is an aircraft with long-range endurance.

Long-distance assault operations require the support of high firepower density, requiring air-to-air missiles with small size, high performance and high-density mounting capabilities, which can increase the ammunition capacity by at least three times that of fifth-generation airborne missiles.

The AIM-260, small advanced capability air-to-air missiles, and Peregrine air-to-air missiles proposed by China all have the characteristics of high-density mounting.

We also need to develop our own missile on this basis for use on sixth-generation aircraft. "

Academician Ma on the side said:

"Yes, after it is developed, the effect can be tested on the fifth-generation machine and experimental data collected."

After a brief discussion, everyone was already here.

The assistant is informing Zhou Yi and the others.

"Professor Zhou, all the academician leaders are here, right now?"

Zhouyi said:

"Now that everyone is here, let's start. This meeting is estimated to last several days.

General Zhao, are the things we need okay? "

General Zhao said:

"No problem, we also borrowed heavy-duty helicopters from Tsarist Russia, and the roads are spacious.

Many of our items are transported by land, water and air.

Don't worry about these issues. "

Zhou Yi nodded and started the third day of the meeting.

Today we mainly discuss the issue of weapons.

In particular, laser weapons need to be overcome this year and applied to fighter jets, submarines, and warships.

After a while, everyone present was already seated.

Looking forward to today's meeting.

Although the entire meeting was attended by several leading figures,

But what they gained in the audience was not small.

After a while, Academician Peng, who is mainly responsible for this direction at the Institute of Physics, began to introduce:

“The original concept of laser weapons was not only to attack, but also to intercept missiles.

But so far, neither direction has been done very well.

For large aircraft, it can not only directly destroy incoming missiles, but also can be used to efficiently interfere with infrared guided missiles.

But this improvement is also limited.

Because incoming missiles are not always located within the irradiation direction of the laser, the detection and early warning of incoming missiles is a big problem. "

Zhou Yi added at the right moment:

“Currently, many helicopters are equipped with laser-based directional infrared interference systems, which use low-power lasers to interfere with the infrared seekers of incoming missiles.

This system has played a great role in actual combat, but it cannot deal with all incoming missiles. "

“Secondly, although laser weapons can ‘hit upon discovery’, they still have shortcomings in ‘destroying upon hit’.

In order for existing laser weapons to effectively kill targets, they need to continuously and stably illuminate the target with sufficient power for several seconds.

This requires ensuring that the control system can stably aim and track and illuminate a fixed position of the target for a long time.

However, the speed of fighter jets is supersonic, so it is extremely difficult to achieve this effect.

But what I think is that if it is combined with artificial intelligence and controlled systematically, it may be a breakthrough. "

Zhou Yi proposed the concept of reform. If the reform can be completed,

The combat effectiveness and safety issues of fighter jets are bound to reach the top of the world.

This is also one of the differences from fifth-generation machines.

At this time Zhou Yi continued:

"However, at the flight speed of a sixth-generation aircraft, even with an adaptive variable-cycle engine, the fighter's speed will not be much slower.

The reaction time of laser weapons is very short.

It is impossible to stay for a few seconds, so the power of the weapon can only be enhanced,

I think this is the mainstream of development. As for the specific details, you can think about it first.

Give some ideas this afternoon or tomorrow. "

This super conference cannot be completed in one day.

Leaving some homework may be able to stimulate everyone's potential.

This will allow these people to fully grow and be able to take charge of their own business even if Zhou Yi doesn't take action in the future.

This is the greatest significance of making a sixth-generation machine.

In the future, Zhou Yi will not study other weapons and equipment.

The experts and professors involved in this development can also independently initiate projects and complete some super large-scale projects.

The meeting lasted all morning and continued at 1:30 after lunch.

Although a little tired, everyone's spirits were obviously very high.

Because if we finish talking about it earlier, we can get started earlier and build the sixth-generation machine earlier.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yi again talked about laser weapons.

"Actually, the penetration of laser weapons is not comparable to..."

Zhou Yi was about to speak when General Zhao interrupted and said:

"Professor Zhou can just discuss this issue with a few core academicians."

Zhou Yi glanced at General Zhao and said:

"Okay, let's break up the meeting today and talk about adaptive variable cycle engines tomorrow."

After a while, everyone left the meeting.

General Zhao said:

"These theories are so important that we really don't trust them, even if we sign a confidentiality contract."

Zhouyi said:

"I understand. Is there still a meeting tomorrow?

Or should it be given to a few academicians individually, and then they will assign tasks one by one? "

Mr. Zhao said:

"That's right."

Zhouyi said:

"Okay, everyone, sit down and I'll continue talking."

After a while, everyone sat down, and Zhou Yi said slowly:

"In fact, it can be related to the penetrability of dark matter.

Study why dark matter is so penetrating,

Dark matter penetrates our human body all the time.

If the methods and methods here are thoroughly studied, it may not only be related to laser weapons, but also have many application directions.

By then the problem of laser weapons will be solved. "

Academician Li on the side said:

"Professor Zhou's analysis makes sense. Laser attenuation is relatively large in the atmosphere, especially when there is water vapor and sand and dust.

Even if the more powerful ground tactical air defense laser weapons can reach hundreds of kilowatts, they are still limited by the aiming accuracy of the sighting device.

If dark matter has the penetrability, it might be possible to reduce the weight of laser weapons and make aircraft lighter. "

The people present are all top bosses, who came from the fighting of hundreds of millions of people.

The speed of drawing inferences is very fast.

Zhouyi said:

"Yes, that's the truth. Whether you are doing academic work or applying it, you must fundamentally solve the problem.

Treating the symptoms rather than the root cause will definitely not work. "

Regarding the application reform of laser weapons, Zhou Yi talked about it all afternoon and night, and it didn't end until the early morning.
