Siheyuan: Originally I just wanted to be a little transparent

After Lin Shengli looked around at everyone present, he continued: "Okay, comrades, let's talk about the last part, which is why we want to build our own third-generation aircraft."

"I have already mentioned the technical characteristics of these three-generation aircraft before, so I will not repeat them here."

"At present, based on the relevant information obtained from various channels, combined with our shooting down this reconnaissance aircraft this time."

"What is certain now is that, at the very least, Yingjiang is already conducting research on its own third-generation aircraft."

"Since some people have already begun to develop third-generation aircraft, we cannot fall behind."

"Everyone knows that many countries and forces outside have always been hostile to us."

"Although we will not take the initiative to provoke others, we will never allow others to bully us at our doorstep. We don't even have the means to fight back."

"I especially agree with what Dean Qian said, that is: having no sword in your hand, and having a sword and not using it, are two different things!"

"I believe everyone knows how important air superiority is in a war."

"We need to have our own advanced fighters in order to ensure our air superiority."

"According to some relevant information I know, most of our air force still uses first-generation fighter jets."

"You might as well think about it, once the enemy has more advanced fighter jets, what will our first-generation aircraft use to compete with the enemy?"

As soon as Lin Shengli said this, he saw a military comrade in the audience stood up and said very unconvinced: "No matter what kind of weapons the enemy has, our soldiers are still brave and fearless of death. Dare to fight and dare to fight.”

"Before this, we could break into a new world by relying on millet and rifles, and we can still do it now."

Hearing this, Lin Shengli nodded and said:

"Indeed, I have never denied that our soldiers have an iron will and a fighting spirit that is not afraid of death."

"But as a scientific researcher, what I think about is more about what methods, methods, and weapons and equipment can be better used to reduce the unnecessary sacrifices of our soldiers."

"Many of our comrades have experienced the arduous War of Resistance. Think about it, if we had the same weapons and equipment as the enemy at that time, how many casualties our soldiers would have suffered."

"Let's take a closer look. When we were helping Beibang fight against Yingjiang's invasion, if we had the same weapons and equipment as Yingjiang, our lovely volunteer soldiers would not have to pay the price of more than 50 casualties. As for more than 18 people, they were laid to rest on the battlefield in a foreign country!"

"So, what the enemy has, we must have."

"I can't control other people, but here, I will never look at our soldiers again, using their flesh and blood to block the enemy's gun holes because of backwardness and insufficient equipment, and being packed with grenades and holding explosives. Let’s blow up the enemy’s tanks!”

Lin Shengli's words were impactful and moved many people in the audience.

The few comrades below who had experienced the Anti-Japanese War and the Beibang War could not help but stand up excitedly and took the lead in applauding.

Afterwards, there was warm applause at the venue.

After the applause lasted for several minutes, Lin Shengli apologized to everyone present: "I'm sorry, comrades, I couldn't control myself at the moment. It was purely based on my feelings and made everyone laugh."

Lin Shengli's words also brought good-natured laughter from everyone below.

"Okay, comrades, let's get back to the topic."

"Some of our comrades may be more concerned about external news. You may have heard that the developed countries outside, especially Yingjiang and Mao Xiong, have already installed second-class weapons in their troops. generation fighter jet.”

"What this second-generation aircraft pursues is the high-altitude and high-speed performance of a fighter jet."

"But precisely because of this, its maneuverability is not outstanding."

"And such a second-generation aircraft is basically unable to fight back against the more technologically advanced third-generation aircraft."

"Then, as a first-generation machine with even more backward technology, it will be even more unmatched."

"According to my speculation, the next three generations of aircraft, as well as the future air combat mode, should be based on beyond-visual-range attacks."

"Think about it, everyone, after our ground radar discovered the enemy's fighter plane, we sent our own fighter plane to intercept it."

"However, the enemy relies on advanced radar, avionics systems, and weapons and equipment. Before we discovered the enemy, our fighter planes were already locked by the enemy's radar."

"At this time, the enemy was outside our visual range and launched missiles to attack our fighters."

"Then, how many opportunities do we have to jump in front of the enemy and engage in close combat with them?"

"Although it is said that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, in the field of science, there are many situations where quantitative differences cannot overcome qualitative differences."

"So, after we shot down this reconnaissance aircraft, I was thinking that we must have our own advanced fighters, so that we can firmly hold air supremacy in our own hands."

"This is why I said that we must develop our own third-generation aircraft."

After Lin Shengli finished speaking, he glanced at the venue and said:

"The above is the entire content of my report this time. If you have any questions, we can communicate now."

As soon as Lin Shengli finished saying this, the audience started talking.

One of the researchers stood up and asked:

"Comrade Lin Shengli, as a scientific researcher, I fully agree with what you said."

"But at the same time, I also understand that according to the current situation, the technology we have does not seem to be able to reach the technical level of the current second-generation aircraft, let alone the so-called third-generation aircraft you proposed."

Lin Shengli had actually anticipated this comrade's question.

Indeed, as he said, our current technology is very weak. I even heard Dean Tang say before that our comrades at the aircraft manufacturer, even with the reverse drawings and physical samples given by Lin Shengli, they followed it There are also many difficulties encountered in imitation.

However, Lin Shengli already had his own solution to this problem, so who could stop him?

Of course, if you think so, you definitely can’t say that.

However, is there any better reason than the enemy's reconnaissance plane?
"Indeed, a completed fighter jet involves many aspects."

"Aerodynamics, electronics, machinery, and aircraft engines, etc. It can be said that fighter jets are the master of industry." "It is undeniable that our current technology is still far behind the international advanced level."

"But I think that with the joint efforts of our scientific research workers, we will be able to develop rapidly and make up for these gaps."

"Besides, we used to feel the stones to cross the river, but now we can definitely feel the eagle sauce to cross the river!"

"In front of our eye department, isn't there a ready-made sample sent to us by Yingjiang!"

"The reconnaissance aircraft we shot down has a lot of technologies that can be applied to third-generation aircraft."

"If we already have such a reference and can't fully understand these technologies, then we might as well go home and grow potatoes."

As soon as Lin Shengli finished speaking, the comrade who just asked the question took the lead in applauding.

Obviously, she also expressed her approval of Lin Shengli's statement.

After the applause stopped, a comrade stood up and asked:

"Comrade Lin Shengli, you also know that our country's economic strength is still very weak."

"As far as I know, not only fighter jets, but also other weapons and equipment are the same. The more advanced the equipment, the higher its cost."

"I don't know how the cost of the third-generation machine you are talking about is compared with the first-generation machine, no, compared with our most advanced Qiangwuye, which is the second-generation machine you call it, how is it?"

Lin Shengli was really unprepared for this issue. After thinking for a moment, Lin Shengli said: "The price and cost between this first-generation machine, the second-generation machine, and the third-generation machine. In fact, as far as I am concerned, there is no price at all." Comparable.”

"However, if we have to make a comparison, let's compare it with our most advanced second-generation machine Qiang Wuye. If we just look at price and cost."

"The value of this third-generation aircraft is at least comparable to the value of more than ten of our fifth masters."

"If we compare it with first-generation aircraft such as the MiG-15 or our J-5, a third-generation aircraft can almost catch up with a squadron of first-generation aircraft."

After hearing Lin Shengli's comparison, everyone present was shocked.

Although everyone knows that the more advanced this weapon and equipment, the higher its value.

But they didn't expect that the gap in value alone could be so big.

The comrade who just asked the question continued to ask after hearing Lin Shengli's answer:

"Comrade Lin Shengli, since the gap between the two is so huge, with our current economic strength, even if we develop third-generation aircraft, how many aircraft can we equip?"

Lin Shengli smiled and said:

"In fact, from another aspect, I think that when we compare, economics is indeed a factor that we have to consider, but we also have to include combat capabilities."

"According to my estimation, with its advanced technology and tactics, the combat effectiveness of third-generation aircraft is incomparable to that of second-generation aircraft."

"Therefore, we can completely reduce the number of third-generation aircraft in service and use combat power to make up for the quantitative gap."

"And you must know that the main purpose of our development of third-generation aircraft is to protect our country's territorial integrity and airspace from infringement, and not to launch aggression."

"Besides, we don't want our air force to be equipped with third-generation aircraft at least in the next few years!"

"Actually, personally, I think that our third-generation aircraft should be developed, and we should continue to imitate second-generation aircraft. These are actually two things that are not in conflict."

"I think that when equipping fighter aircraft, we should adopt a high-low combination approach."

"The so-called high-low combination is the deployment method of third-generation fighters paired with second-generation fighters, or even first-generation fighters."

"In this way, on the one hand, we can reduce economic pressure, and on the other hand, it can also complement our combat capabilities."

"The high cost of these advanced fighters is not only a problem we need to face, but other countries are also facing this problem."

"After such an analysis, everyone will be able to understand that, in other words, these third-generation aircraft, even from other countries, will not be equipped with too many."

"Then, after we adopt this high-low matching method, we will first use the technical advantages of the third-generation aircraft to seize air supremacy, and other tasks, such as ground attack or reconnaissance, can be completely handed over to the second-generation or even reconnaissance aircraft. It takes one generation of machines to complete it.”

"It can be said that third-generation aircraft can be used as sharp knives, but not all tasks are performed by third-generation aircraft."

Lin Shengli's method of solving the problem was to adopt the high-low matching method that was common in later generations.

Originally, it should be heavy high-end fighters paired with light fighters.

However, due to the current reality, Lin Shengli replaced the content with a third-generation machine paired with a second-generation or even first-generation machine.

Most of the military leaders attending the meeting have experienced hundreds of battles and have come from wars. They must have some knowledge and vision.

When they heard what Lin Shengli said, they immediately understood the meaning of the so-called high and low matching.

It's like every army has its own company of sharp knives. Isn't it just that good steel is used on the blades?
"I understand, Comrade Lin Shengli, I have no other questions."

After the comrade who just asked the question sat down, Mr. Nie stood up and said:

"Yes, Comrade Shengli, I didn't expect that you not only came up with the design plan of the third-generation aircraft, but also had full ideas about some subsequent developments."

Hearing this, Lin Shengli smiled and said: "Mr. Nie, after all, if we don't develop a third-generation aircraft, no matter how excellent its theoretical performance is, it will always be a castle in the air and a moon in the water."

"If I don't think about it more, it would be a pity if our third-generation aircraft could not make the trip due to other subsequent problems."

"After all, everyone understands the truth, that is, if you fall behind, you will be beaten."

"When others have it but we don't, aren't we just waiting for others to come and attack us?"

"As for being behind, you don't necessarily get beaten, that's because people who are advanced don't want to hit you!"

"Only when we are strong enough can we be unafraid of any threats!"

After hearing what Lin Shengli said, Mr. Ye also stood up and took the lead in applauding Lin Shengli. (End of chapter)
