Chapter 262 Test Field(1/2)
.
Under Xiao Qiang's instructions, the African base has been doing all kinds of preparations for more than ten years. He has been developing and fighting in the shopping mall for so many years, earning back a large amount of funds, and strongly supporting the development of the utopian plan and proceeding smoothly.
Including the press conference, the spokesperson claimed that this was only the first test and that the spacecraft had not yet been perfected.
But in fact, let alone the nine-meter reduction-scale data collection machine organized by Wang Gong and others, the data test flight test conducted over two years has been conducted. It is this 90-meter full-size verification machine, taking off and landing, and low-altitude performance test, more than once.
However, because the verification machine has never reached medium and high altitudes, and between the southwest mountains, foreign long-range radars are difficult to detect targets under such long-distance complex terrain conditions, it has not been discovered by the national inspection station.
The vast mountains in the southwest region have become a test site dedicated to the testing of heavy equipment by Universal Corporation.
This place was a combat preparation factory in the 1960s and 1970s. There was only a high-grade highway that hovered back and forth between the mountains. Starting from the southwest provincial capital, we headed west across Ya'an, crossed Erlang Mountain, and crossed the snow-capped mountains. We had a trek of 280 kilometers to reach this small basin surrounded by mountains.
The experimental site was originally a river valley. The snow melted from the Himalayas and affiliated mountains flowed down the mountainous direction from the middle to the surrounding areas, irrigating and nourishing the surrounding Chinese region, South Asia, Southeast Asia and other places.
The ice water that comes down from the source also flows through this small canyon area.
After thousands of years of water flowing, the huge rocks in the river valley turned into fists-sized pebbles, lying quietly in the water, forming a colorful and natural beauty.
The water flow brought rich soil, sand and stones, which settled down after the valley echoed, gradually filled the valley and became a gentle valley.
The narrow valley is about fifty kilometers long from the bottom of the valley to the confluence of the valley mouth and the Yajiang River. The valley passage is straight. The widest part is ten kilometers, and the narrowest part of the valley waist is six kilometers, which looks like a long gourd.
The Yajiang River flows very rapidly at the mouth of the valley. When it flows through the waist of the valley, it slowly rises. When it enters the bottom of the valley, it is already a rippling lake.
A large amount of mud and sand gradually accumulates in the valley, filling the terrain with height.
Slowly, the accumulated mud and sand blocked the valley waist and the accumulated water at the bottom of the valley, becoming a real lake.
The mud and sand gradually pile up higher and gradually silt towards the valley entrance. The valley entrance is slowly filled with large areas of sand and soil. Over time, this valley becomes a naturally formed accumulation basin.
When the military came here, there was only a small gap at the entrance of the basin, near the Ya River, where there was a gurgling water flowing into the basin along the river channel.
Although it is a plateau mountain, the terrain in the basin is closed, and the mountains block the wind, but the basin is as warm as spring.
In the basin, there are lush grass and trees, and there are many birds and birds. There are also a large number of unknown wild flowers, which are fragrant all over the valley when the breeze blows.
Because the basin is closed, there are no animals in the field, and the grass on the ground is more than one person tall.
The military site selection experts were very satisfied with this place and built an important military factory here.
After renovation, a dam was built to prevent the river from pouring back. The land in the valley was re-leveled and factories and dormitories were built.
The closed environment at the bottom of the valley is the best place to build a confidential factory. The military transferred a water pump to drain the lake water and drain it, dig up soil to fill it up. The factory was built on the valley plain.
Gukou became the dormitory of Suijun's family, as well as related schools, post offices, hospitals, cinemas and other living affiliated communities.
In order to transport materials, the military also specially allocated a large amount of manpower and material resources to build an asphalt road leading to the mountain. There are road teams stationed along the road, responsible for inspecting the road conditions along the way, and timely repairing and maintaining the roads to ensure smooth entry and exit of materials.
This winding path about five meters wide becomes the only way to keep a confidential factory in touch with the mountains.
In the 1970s, during the most tense years of Sino-Soviet relations, there were more than 10,000 employees here, working hard for the national defense industry every day and night. The military family members reached 50,000 or 60,000, which turned this place into a small town.
After the reform and opening up, the international situation gradually eased, and the place gradually changed from being hot to being deserted.
The above production plan is decreasing every year and monthly, and the means of production transported to the mountain are also constantly being reduced due to the high cost.
Yamauchi's confidential factory often completes production tasks within one day of construction.
When people's hearts disperse, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Some people who have a way start to leave the mountains and go to the provincial capital or nearby military sub-districts, and military-industrial enterprises invest in relatives and friends to find another way out.
During the recession of military industry across the country, almost all the young technical backbones in the factory were exposed. The children in the family area also left the mountains and went outside to study, and then went away forever.
The ordinary workers who did not have much skill also made an appointment to make a living, left the mountains and went to the coastal areas of Guangdong to work and make a living.
The once bustling military-industrial enterprises have become deserted. The doors of the cinema are closed all year round, and the iron general of the cultural station is holding the door. The wooden floors of the school's teaching building have become decaying due to lack of popularity.
In the huge family area, I can only see a few elderly people on sunny days, carrying an embroidered chair and basking in the sun in the open space.
In a few years, the last old man was also taken to live with by his children who settled in the provincial capital. Some people were sent to see the equipment in the factory once. Most of the equipment had aging and rusting, losing the value of renovation. Some equipment that could still be used was loaded and transported away.
In the factory, there were only some rusty and rough machine tools, and thick dust all over the ground.
No one went to clean up, and the weeds unyieldingly emerged from the ground and occupied the entire basin.
Here, it has become the world of birds again.
In the mid-1990s, birds who were used to settling in the basin were suddenly disturbed by the noise from outside, and flew high and hovered back and forth.
They saw the busy figures of road-building troops appearing again on the abandoned asphalt road.
Unlike the last time, there were also a large number of large-scale construction machinery. With the roar of the machines, half of the collapsed roads were renovated. The foundation was expanded, the stone was cushioned, and the narrow roads were widened to ten meters, and the cement was poured into a flat cement pavement.
The road was built to the living area, and the crumbling houses were all pushed down by steel monsters. The loud sound of the ground drove all the birds away from this natural nest.
Before they fled in a hurry, they could also see countless soldiers and casual engineers wearing safety helmets. They surrounded a huge construction drawing and looked down on the mountains on both sides of the basin, looking down at the entire basin.
Starting from the valley waist, the innermost part of the basin is twenty-three kilometers long. The valley bottom, with an average width of 8.1 kilometers, is still planned as a production area.
The outer half is the living area.
However, although the overall plan is roughly the same, the technical level between the two constructions of the new and old has changed drastically.
While the road was being constructed, a military fiber optic line was connected in, with a bandwidth of twenty g. Even if you watch ultra-high definition movies, you won’t be sluggish at all.
Seven-story buildings were built, all designed according to the highest level.
All the houses can be divided into one house with a weight of more than 90 square meters, with fine decoration.
In addition, there are more than a hundred exquisite villas, built around the mountains and rivers, like a resort.
Before the factory was built, the first thing that started was the construction of living facilities.
The water plant and shopping streets rose one after another, and the power supply was temporarily connected by Shanwai. After two months, the original small hydropower station in the factory area began to provide electricity to the basin after repairing and replacing equipment.
Outside the living area, at the entrance of the valley, there was a battalion of People's Liberation Army stationed and a large group of local military police stationed.
All people entering and leaving must wear identity identification signs. Everyone has complete files. Even strangers can't even enter the basin with letters of introduction from the provincial and military sub-districts. If they want to break through, they must first face more than a dozen permanent fortifications.
The first cordon and the second cordon are five hundred meters apart. There are three such protective measures.
In addition to light firepower, there are also heavy equipment such as wheeled armored vehicles, transportation helicopters, and two new types of Zhiten armed helicopters. All the hills around are placed with guard posts, telephone lines are crisscrossed, and surveillance lenses are covered with 360 degrees of surveillance, without any dead corners.
Thirty kilometers away from the basin, there are two ground radar stations that monitor the sky.
More than a dozen air defense missile positions are spread around the basin.
High-aircraft positions, anti-aircraft artillery positions, and individual air defense missiles form a high-low air defense system.
Although there is no protection for Air Force fighter jets, two newly installed J-10 fighter jet squadrons in the Ya'an Military Sub-district hundreds of kilometers away are ready to go. There are always two on-duty planes circling over Ya'an every day, called familiar equipment. In fact, with just one order, they can rush over the base within ten minutes to cover the air.
With such strict protection, no one can shake the base without the enemy attacking it with long-range nuclear missiles.
Moreover, the engineers have begun to explode the abdomen of the mountain and are preparing to hollow out the mountains. Once the entire project is over, the lead ferroalloy gate that is several meters thick is closed, and even if a nuclear bomb is used to attack, the production base may not be erased from the map.
Such strict protection has never been seen.
What exactly are they protecting?
The answer was soon revealed. Under the protection of a large number of pilot vehicles and guard vehicles, 50-wheel heavy-duty military trucks slowly moved into the base in the night.
The machine unloaded from the truck is as small as seven or eight meters square, and the size is as large as dozens of meters and dozens of meters.
And these are just some parts on a complete machine!
These parts were carefully transported to the factory by technicians and installed under the guidance of another white coat.
The time for transporting parts was all arranged at night, and the time for American satellites to arrive in the air was calculated and the delivery was quietly carried out. This process lasted for two or three months.
Under the guidance of engineering and technical experts from Universal Corporation, huge machine tools were installed one by one, followed by post-commissioning and accuracy correction, and this batch of large-scale machine tools was initially installed.
From now on, this is the core of China's military industry.
Tank turret?
A little meaning, casting it into shape at one time!
Large aircraft engine?
No problem, special production lines can be completed in one go without changing the machine tool. Without a better alloy formula, the engine strength has increased by 10% to 10%, the oil consumption has been greatly improved, and the air stagnation time has been greatly improved. The service life has jumped from hundreds of hours to nearly a thousand hours. It has extended the service life of military equipment in peacetime and reduced the cost of arms maintenance.
Submarine propeller?
The new high-precision super-large machine tool equipment, the processed submarine propulsion blades, reduce the power propulsion noise below 90 °C when the submarine is traveling under the sea, and is completely covered by ocean surges and marine biological noises, and cannot be detected.
Rocket engine;
Large warship keel;
Fighter shell casting;
...
With the start of construction of the new base, from the initial single-piece trial production, to the medium-term small batch processing, to the later stage, the three armies lined up to send one main parts of large military products to be manufactured here.
The base plays the role of the core of China's military industry.
The J-10 is still the same J-10, but its improved engine allows it to exert more powerful power. The take-off weight has been increased from 19 tons to 22 tons, which has increased the load capacity of more than two tons. The powerful power support has greatly improved the aircraft's climbing ability and turning radius, and the flexibility of air combat is more prominent.
The fuel consumption of the improved engine was greatly reduced, and the combat radius was suddenly expanded to 1,500 kilometers. The maximum range was 3,100 kilometers, slightly stronger than f16 and one radius.
If there was a propaganda before, the performance of J-10 was equal to F16, and the comfort factor was included. However, in terms of its air combat performance, at least, it is no less than F16.
