Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

We've entered the era of stealth aircraft; they come and go without a trace, leaving no trace on radar screens!

However, currently only the United States possesses stealth aircraft, and not just one: the F-117, which has already demonstrated its prowess in actual combat; the B-2 strategic bomber, which has made all its adversaries tremble; and the F-22, the world's first stealth fighter.

It can be said that the Americans are far ahead in the field of stealth aircraft, but few people know that the Americans' stealth aircraft technology has a great deal to do with the Russians!

In 1964, Pyotr Ufimshev, chief scientist of the Moscow Radio Engineering Institute, published an academic paper entitled "Diffraction of Edge Electromagnetic Waves in Physical Theory". This paper defined the radar cross section of the shape of a two-dimensional object and introduced how to analyze it using a computer program.

Unfortunately, it didn't cause much of a stir in Russia; it was simply published as an ordinary academic journal article and then nothing more. However, when the article reached the other side of the ocean, Skunk Works got interested!

They began to seriously study how to turn theory into practice. Due to the limited computer processing power at the time, they could only decompose the radar cross-section of an aircraft into a series of triangles for calculation, and finally obtained a rhombic octahedron model composed of eight triangles.

Because of its unusual appearance, many people at the time doubted whether it could fly.

After that… as everyone knows, the United States achieved a leap forward in stealth aircraft technology, with a continuous stream of new aircraft making the whole world tremble in its presence. As for the person who first proposed the stealth aircraft technology, he remained unknown.

"Mr. Ufimshev, what is your relationship with him?" Qin Chuan asked curiously.

"He is my father."

"Oh, is he still in good health? If he's having too much fun in Moscow, he could come and visit us in the East."

"My father... he passed away in 88..."

Qin Chuan took a deep breath: "I'm sorry."

"It's alright. Actually, leaving at that time might not have been a bad thing. At least we wouldn't have seen this mess now..." Ufimshevich took a deep breath. "President Qin, we need to perform a lot of calculations for the stealth modification. We need world-class supercomputers! You..."

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, they thought they could finally live the Western life they longed for, but they didn't expect it to be less comfortable than the Soviet era!

It would be a lie to say I don't regret it, but unfortunately, there's no going back!

During the Soviet era, stealth technology was based on plasma stealth. Looking back now, it is far behind the world's advanced level. It wants to catch up, but it can't even afford the computers needed for research and development. Otherwise, why would Ufimshevich have chosen to come to the East?

Mikoyan Design Bureau didn't have the money to upgrade its equipment, but Laiyang Group did!

"No problem. Our Laiyang Group is developing the first domestically produced processor. Once it's successfully developed, in addition to assembling microcomputers, it can also be assembled into supercomputers!"

These supercomputers cannot be bought. Even if you could buy them, you would only have the right to use them, and you would have to use them under the supervision of foreigners. You would still have to manufacture them yourself!

"how long?"

"The chip will be available this year, and it will be assembled into a supercomputer in no more than three years! In these three years, we can use a small computer to do preliminary calculations."

"it is good!"

Kuzmin was very satisfied. With computers here, they could not only run the Tomcat stealth modification program, but also their MiG 1.44 project. They sent their elites here in the hope of boosting the progress of the MiG 1.44 project. Now it seemed that everything was going smoothly, and President Qin was completely unprepared.

If he knew that these people were like throwing meat buns to a dog, gone forever, I wonder what he would think.

Almost simultaneously, a cargo ship crossed the ocean and docked at the Shanghai port. Under the cover of darkness, the planes inside the ship were quietly hoisted onto land and then quickly transported away.

A group of dark-skinned foreigners also left the dock under the cover of night and arrived at the hotel that had been arranged for them. A new life was beckoning to them!

Indian.

"We've just received the latest news: the Sukhoi Design Bureau's Su-27 fighter jet has been perfectly copied and replicated by the East. The East has abandoned the Sukhoi Design Bureau and started working independently!" Civil official Andaman said with a smile, "Now they should realize how unwise it was to entrust the production of their aircraft to the East, right?"

“That’s right, it’s still the most reliable to leave it to us. We never overstep our bounds. We’ll produce as many as you’re asked to, and we’ll never make any modifications!” Rajena, the head of Stanford Airlines, said with a smile.

After I finished speaking, I felt that it seemed a bit inappropriate to say it like that. Wouldn't that imply that I didn't have the ability?

"We don't even bother with copying and imitation. We have our own advanced fighter jets. Our LCA is the most advanced light fighter jet in the world!"

Air Force Chief Allep gave him a complicated look. What do you mean by the world's most advanced fighter jet? The technology of this aircraft... well, never mind, I can't speak ill of my own people here.

"Now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau will probably be furious, right? They'll probably break off their cooperation with the East and demand huge sums of compensation," Alepp said calmly. "Actually, this is for the best. It lets them know how unwise it was to cooperate with the East, and that they should cooperate with us instead..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone rushed in, shouting, "Report, report..."

"what happened?"

"We just received news from the Sukhoi Design Bureau..."

"Say it!"

"The plan is to export the most advanced Su-30 fighter-bombers to the East. They have already prepared a Su-30MK, intending to fly it to a high-altitude airfield in the East..."

Snapped!

Alep slammed his hand heavily on the table. Damn it, what does this mean? If this were on the plateau, wouldn't it mean facing those Indians?

For a long time, fighter jets from the East have been unable to fly over the plateau, so the Indians used to frequently go there for a stroll. Since the East equipped itself with Su-27s and S-300s, the Indians have stopped these border crossings. Now, unexpectedly, the East has gone even further!

This is outrageous! This is clearly targeting us!

*Bang!* Andaman slammed his fist on the table. Had the people at the Sukhoi Design Bureau lost their minds?

The East copied their plane, and their choice was to provide a more advanced model? Shouldn't they be seeking compensation?

“We absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die!” Rajena declared. “We must sabotage this deal!”

How do you stir it?

"We're placing a large order for Sukhoi Su-30s with the Sukhoi Design Bureau as a condition for them to stop exporting their most advanced fighter jets to the East!" Rajena said. "We're not just going to buy them, we're going to bring in the production line and produce them ourselves!"
