The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 262: One for One
When they arrived at the airport, the Air Force technicians were already installing it. They had just dismantled it under Liu Hua's guidance, and now they were installing it back with ease, so Liu Hua didn't have to worry about it.

Ma Shan asked someone to make a cup of tea for Liu Hua, and then he contacted all parties and made arrangements for everyone. Liu Hua had just conducted an experiment privately, which caused unrest in everyone, and he said that the same mistake must not be made this time.

After all aspects were coordinated, an order was given immediately and the radars on the ground and the fighter planes in the air were running at full capacity, to see how useful this little thing designed by Liu Hua could be.

After Liu Hua turned on the electromagnetic suppression, the ground radar was filled with snow and the planes in the air could only circle continuously. The ground command center shouted to the fighter planes in the air, but received no response.

Everyone in the command center looked at Liu Hua with strange eyes. Before, they saw nothing but snowflakes, and they thought it was just a radar malfunction or a coincidence.

Now it has happened again, they can't help but be amazed. Even the radio calls have been cut off, which is a big deal.

Liu Hua smiled and said, "As long as the power supply is sufficient, my design can suppress all frequency bands. Unfortunately, it seems that the power supply of our aircraft is not enough so far. At most, we can only suppress a few frequency bands at a time."

Ma Shan waved his hand and said, "That's not your concern. Your thing is very effective, but it only has a range of two kilometers. It's a bit useless. It's a pity to throw it away."

"This is just a miniature sample." Liu Hua shook his head. "If we really want to make a real thing, it will at least be a little bigger than an airplane fuel tank. By then, we won't talk about more or less, but we will definitely be able to suppress an area of 200 to 300 square kilometers."

Ma Shan's eyes widened as he said, "Two or three hundred kilometers, do you know what this means? The range of long-range air-to-air missiles is only two or three hundred kilometers. This means that if there is such a plane in the air, the enemy's fire control radar cannot lock our plane. Even if they launch missiles, they have to use manual guidance. At this time, they have no ability to fight back. Even if we lose a plane, we can still shoot it down."

Ma Shan was talking excitedly in the room: "There is a generation gap between our aircraft and the enemy's. Even if it is a one-for-one exchange, we will still make a profit."

"Pilots are valuable." Liu Hua shook his head and said, "They are more valuable than airplanes. How can we exchange them one for one?"

At this time, a soldier older than Ma Shan said, "We can't do anything about it. This is the cruel fact that our aircraft are still behind the enemy. If we lag behind, we will be beaten. One-for-one is already the most ideal situation. Sometimes this situation is just a luxury."

Liu Hua didn't say anything because he knew this was the truth and no matter how much he said, he would not be as good as doing more.

"Send me back to the laboratory. I will give you the design drawings and experimental data." Liu Hua sighed and said, "Since it is useful to you, you should research and produce it as soon as possible. I still have to continue researching radar and avionics. Time is running out."

Ma Shan smiled and said, "You must be joking. This is such good news. We have to celebrate today. If you leave like this, people will think we are impolite. Let's have dinner here today and let you have a taste of the aircrew kitchen."

Mr. Ma came to Beijing for a meeting again. After the meeting, he found Liu Hua and said, "The country has decided to vigorously develop our own large aircraft. McDonnell Douglas aircraft can come in, but we will never give up our own projects. Our Y-10 has entered the comprehensive testing stage."

"Congratulations." Liu Hua said happily to Mr. Ma, "You finally got what you wanted."

Mr. Ma couldn't hide the smile on his face: "I'm glad to hear that the avionics system you designed performed very well in the early tests. I heard that it is comparable to that of the American ones." "Now they are comparable, but one day they will be surpassed." Liu Hua said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, you still have to work hard for a few more years and cultivate more of our young people. I don't think Boeing will be able to stay arrogant for many more years. It will take at most 50 years, and by then we will have surpassed them."

"We can't take it lightly. Their scientific research capabilities are still very strong."

Liu Hua nodded in agreement: "I didn't say he's not strong, but he's not ambitious. Haven't you noticed? Boeing has been making improvements based on the 737 platform and has no intention of designing a new passenger aircraft platform."

Mr. Ma, who has been devoted to the design of our domestically produced large civil aircraft, frowned immediately and thought for a while: "It seems to be true, but the 737 platform is too classic, so it is completely normal to make improvements based on this."

"If you don't make progress, you will easily become lazy, and if you are lazy, you will not be able to develop." Liu Hua laughed: "If you don't believe me, just wait and see. In another 20 years, he will still make improvements based on this platform. You can see how old he is at a glance."

"I hope so." Mr. Ma said with a smile: "This comprehensive test will probably last for three to four years. I am confident that we can get our own certificate, but I don't know when we can get the foreign airworthiness certificate?"

"Then you have to wait." Liu Hua sighed, "Unless Boeing and Airbus fall, those Western barbarians will never allow our aircraft to enter their market. But it doesn't matter. In the future, our country's aviation market will be very developed. In addition, some small countries around us will have to give us some face. We can definitely afford our Y-10."

"It's all hegemony." Mr. Ma smiled and said, "Once we break their hegemony, they won't be able to bow their heads like this. I just don't know if I can see it in my lifetime."

"You will see it if you live longer."

After sending Mr. Ma away, Liu Hua began to work hard. He had already set his sights on passive phased array radar. It was not that Liu Hua did not want to develop active phased array.

It's really an industrial system. Overtaking on a curve is not a bad thing, but although we are leading in some areas of semiconductors, we are still lagging behind overall.

Of course, it is not impossible to develop an active phased array radar, but the cost is probably beyond the ability of the Air Force to afford.

Why did our country have to wait until 2010 to experience the technological explosion? It was because our entire industrial chain layout had been completed, and when all walks of life were full of talented people, technology naturally exploded.

Even though Liu Hua exchanged the complete basic information of the passive phased array in the system, it is not an easy task to build a passive phased array radar by hand.

The design drawings were in boxes. Ma Shan sent his capable assistant Qian to sit in Huaqing University and act as Liu Hua's assistant to contact various factories to provide parts for the passive phased array radar.
