Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Chapter 558: 4th Generation Machine? What is a 4th Generation Machine?

Amidst the bitterly cold wind over the imperial capital, an Il-14 transport plane cut through the sky and landed at the Capital Airport.

Fang Yu wrapped his military coat tightly and walked down the gangway quickly.

On the airport runway, a military jeep had been waiting for a long time. A communicator was standing next to the car. He immediately saluted when he saw Fang Yu.

"Team Leader Fang, please get in the car. The emergency meeting of the Military Commission has begun, and they are waiting for you."

The communicator said anxiously.

Fang Yu nodded and strode into the car.

The jeep's engine roared through the wide streets of the imperial capital, and the bare branches of the sycamore and peach trees on both sides swayed in the cold wind.

The frost on the car windows made the outside world blurry, but Fang Yu's thoughts were extremely clear.

Twenty minutes later, Fang Yu stood on the steps in front of the Military Commission building.

He walked quickly into the building and took the elevator straight up to the seventh floor.

The door of the conference room was closed. When the guard standing at the door saw Fang Yu, he nodded silently and pushed open the heavy wooden door.

In an instant, more than a dozen eyes were cast towards the door.

Generals in neat military uniforms sat around the rectangular conference table, documents and photos were scattered on the table, and the air was filled with a strong smell of tobacco and an indescribable tension.

"Comrade Fang Yu is here, please take a seat."

Chairman of the Central Military Commission Wu Shanhe stood up and gestured to Fang Yu to show him the empty seat.

Fang Yu quickly glanced around the conference room. There was a huge map of East Asia hanging on the wall. The East China Sea area was marked with a circle of thick red lines, and several arrows pointed to the coast of Longguo.

In the center of the conference table, a blurry photo of an F-15 was enlarged and displayed.

"We are discussing the new fighter jet of Eagle Sauce,"

Air Force Commander-in-Chief Liu Yadong, who was sitting in the first seat, spoke bluntly, pointing his finger at the photo.

"Preliminary assessment is that its performance is at least 30% higher than our JF-17. We have just analyzed several countermeasures, but none of them are ideal."

He looked straight at Fang Yu with sharp eyes.

"Comrade Fang Yu, you are the designer of the JF-17 Thunder. How do you think we should deal with this new type of fighter?"

The air in the conference room seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Yu.

Several older generals looked at them with suspicion, as if they did not believe that this young man could solve such a difficult problem.

Fang Yu walked to the table calmly, picked up the photo of the F-15 and looked at it carefully for a moment, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

"That's what I came for."

He put the photo back on the table, looked around, and said in a firm and calm tone: "Commendations, since the Eagle Sauce can develop new aircraft, then we should develop it too."

Fang Yu paused, a glimmer of the future in his eyes.

"Besides, the Eagle Sauce is developing a third-generation fighter, and we can directly develop a fourth-generation fighter!"

This sentence was like a bomb, exploding in the conference room.

The generals looked at each other, whispering among themselves. Some frowned, some shook their heads, and some had a glint of anticipation in their eyes.

"Quiet!" Liu Yadong slammed the table, and the conference room immediately returned to silence.

He stared at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

"Fourth-generation aircraft? What is a fourth-generation aircraft?"

The other generals all looked at Fang Yu, waiting for his explanation.

Even Chairman Wu Shanhe, who is usually calm, couldn't help but lean forward.

Fang Yu stood in front of the map of East Asia, his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp.

In this closed conference room, the top military officials of the Dragon Kingdom are concentrating and holding their breath, waiting for this young man to reveal the secrets from the future.

Outside the window, the cold wind was still howling, but everyone inside could feel an invisible current of heat rising.

This heat flow is called hope, called power, and renamed as the upcoming take-off of Longguo Aviation Industry.

"A fourth-generation fighter," Fang Yu said softly, his eyes filled with a certainty that transcended his time. "It's a fighter jet that even the Americans wouldn't dare to even think about right now."

Fang Yu looked around at the senior military officials in the conference room. There was a mixture of confusion and expectation in their eyes.

The blackboard was behind him, so he picked up a piece of chalk and drew three simple airplane silhouettes on the blackboard.

They are marked as "second generation", "third generation" and "fourth generation" respectively.

"First, I want to explain the generational division of fighter jets,"

Fang Yu's voice was steady and powerful, and the chalk made a crisp sound on the blackboard.

"Currently, the world's mainstream fighter jets are basically second-generation aircraft, such as our J-6 and the Eagle Sauce F-100."

"They are characterized by subsonic or low supersonic flight capabilities, limited maneuverability, a weapon system dominated by machine guns, and simple avionics equipment."

He pointed to the second silhouette.

"The F-15 that the Eagle Sauce is currently displaying belongs to the category of third-generation aircraft."

"The essential features of third-generation aircraft are supersonic cruise, pulse Doppler radar, medium-range air-to-air missiles and the widespread use of avionics systems."

“This means a huge expansion of the combat airspace and strike range, but it still has many limitations.”

Liu Yadong frowned and quickly wrote down the information in his notebook.

"So, what is the concept of the fourth-generation aircraft?"

Fang Yu smiled slightly and tapped the chalk lightly on the blackboard.

"The fourth-generation aircraft is a revolutionary leap forward, and its core is '4S'."

He wrote the four characters "4S" on the blackboard and then unfolded them one by one:

"The first S: Stealth,"

He drew a low-visible silhouette of the aircraft.

"Through the special fuselage shape, radar-absorbing materials and built-in weapons bay, the aircraft's radar cross-sectional area is greatly reduced, equivalent to the radar echo of a bird, or even smaller."

"This means that the enemy has already been discovered and locked onto it before they even discover it."

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone was listening attentively.

An elderly Air Force general couldn't help but ask: "Is this technology really possible?"

"Not only possible, but inevitable,"

Fang Yu answered firmly.

"The second S: Supercruise,"

He drew a sound wave pattern on the blackboard.

"This means that fighter jets can break the sound barrier and maintain supersonic flight without having to use afterburners, which not only significantly increases the combat radius, but also saves fuel and reduces infrared signatures."

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Yadong's eyes.

"Supersonic cruise without afterburner? How much thrust does that engine need?"

"It does require a newly designed high-thrust engine," Fang Yu nodded in agreement, then continued, "The third S: Super-maneuverability."

His chalk traced a complex aerial combat trajectory on the blackboard.

"Through thrust vectoring technology, the aircraft can perform unprecedented maneuvers in the air, such as the Kobera maneuver, the Herbst maneuver, and even controlled flight in a super-stall state."

"Simply put, the aircraft can 'turn' in the air like a kung fu master."

This description caused several generals to discuss in low voices, and the suspicion in their eyes was gradually replaced by surprise.

"The last S: Sophisticated avionics,"

Fang Yu drew a complex network structure on the blackboard.

"Including active phased array radar, integrated avionics system, data link, electronic countermeasure system, etc."

"This allows pilots to track multiple targets simultaneously and share intelligence with friendly aircraft, creating an information advantage."

“On future battlefields, whoever holds information advantage will hold victory.”

The atmosphere in the conference room changed noticeably; the original doubts had turned into admiration and anticipation.
