Chapter 393: The Idea of the Space Fighter
Li Yang first reviewed the overall structure of the carrier-based aircraft. He found that during the long-term test, the fuselage of the carrier-based aircraft showed a certain degree of fatigue, which may affect the long-term service life of the carrier-based aircraft. In order to deal with this problem, Li Yang decided to install a set of structural reinforcement devices at the key parts of the fuselage. This set of devices can effectively disperse the stress on the fuselage during takeoff and landing, thereby extending the service life of the carrier-based aircraft.
Next, Li Yang turned his attention to the power system of carrier-based aircraft. He realized that although the current power system can meet the basic take-off and landing requirements, there is still room for improvement in the performance of the power system under some extreme conditions. Li Yang decided to upgrade the engine of the carrier-based aircraft and use a new type of high-efficiency fuel to improve the engine's thrust and fuel efficiency.
At the same time, Li Yang also comprehensively upgraded the flight control system of the carrier-based aircraft. He decided to add an automatic fault detection device to the flight control system, which can monitor the various flight parameters of the carrier-based aircraft in real time and automatically troubleshoot the faults when abnormalities are detected to ensure the safety of the carrier-based aircraft in flight.
……
Li Yang stood in front of the laboratory window, gazing at the distant skyline, with a surge of heroism and longing in his heart. Although the carrier-based aircraft in front of him had been successful, he knew that the real challenge was far from over. As a time traveler, he saw further and thought further. Although the ground-effect aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft in front of him were the top designs in the world today, Li Yang had already nurtured a more ambitious plan in his heart - designing a seventh-generation aerospace fighter that could break through the atmosphere.
Li Yang clearly knew that future wars would not be limited to the surface of the earth, and space would become a new battlefield. In order to meet this challenge, Li Yang decided to design an aerospace fighter that could freely shuttle between land, sea, air and space. This design would completely change the future war pattern.
He sat back at the design table, spread out a brand new blueprint, and slid the pencil in his hand gently on the paper, outlining the preliminary outline of the aerospace fighter. Li Yang's eyes became focused, and his mind began to construct every detail of this future fighter.
The first thing Li Yang considered was the shape of the aerospace fighter. As a fighter that needs to fly inside and outside the atmosphere, its shape must take into account both aerodynamics and space flight requirements.
Li Yang's pen tip moved quickly on the drawing, and he decided to adopt a streamlined fuselage design, similar to the shape of a bullet. Such a design can reduce air resistance in the atmosphere and increase flight speed, while maintaining good stability in space.
The surface of the fuselage must be covered with a layer of special material, which must not only have extremely high heat resistance to withstand the high temperatures generated when flying at high speed in the atmosphere, but also have good reflectivity to reduce radar and laser detection signals.
"Perhaps we can learn from the future quantum stealth technology..." Li Yang muttered to himself. He decided to apply a layer of nano-scale quantum stealth coating on the surface of the aerospace fighter. This coating can form a stealth field on the surface of the fighter, making the fighter almost invisible to the enemy's radar and infrared detection system.
In addition, Li Yang also considered that the aerospace fighter needs to maintain extremely high stability when flying in space. For this reason, he decided to add adjustable vector nozzles to the wings and tail of the fighter. These nozzles can automatically adjust the thrust direction according to different flight environments, thereby ensuring that the fighter can maintain a stable flight attitude in various environments.
After completing the exterior design, Li Yang turned his attention to the core of the aerospace fighter - the power system. As an aerospace fighter, its power system must have extremely high thrust in order to shuttle freely in and out of the atmosphere.
Li Yang decided to use nuclear fusion engine as the main power source of the aerospace fighter. Nuclear fusion technology has extremely high energy density and can provide thrust far exceeding traditional fuels. At the same time, it also has extremely high fuel utilization and environmental protection, which is very suitable for the design of aerospace fighters.
Li Yang outlined the structural design of the nuclear fusion engine in detail on the drawing. He decided to install two nuclear fusion engines at the tail of the fighter, which would provide powerful thrust when the fighter entered space, allowing the fighter to break through the earth's gravity and enter space.
However, Li Yang also realized that the starting conditions of the nuclear fusion engine are very harsh, requiring extremely high temperatures and pressures to activate. He decided to design a laser ignition system inside the engine, which can generate a high-energy laser beam in a very short time to trigger a nuclear fusion reaction, thereby providing a steady stream of power for the fighter.
"In order to ensure the flight performance of the fighter in the atmosphere, a hybrid power system needs to be designed." After thinking for a while, Li Yang sketched out a design of a turbine-rocket hybrid power system on the drawing. This system can automatically switch to the turbine engine mode when the fighter enters the atmosphere to provide better flight efficiency. When the fighter needs to break through the atmosphere, it will switch to the rocket engine mode to provide powerful thrust.
In addition, in order to ensure the fighter's ability to cruise for a long time in the atmosphere, Li Yang decided to design an efficient air intake system for it. This system can absorb oxygen from the air when the fighter is flying at high speed, which can not only extend the fighter's flight time, but also reduce dependence on external fuel.
As an aerospace fighter, the weapon system is naturally an important part of it. Li Yang decided to give this fighter a powerful firepower so that it can cope with various complex battlefield environments.
The first thing Li Yang thought of was directed energy weapons. Combining nuclear fusion technology, Li Yang decided to install a high-energy laser weapon system on the nose and wings of the fighter. This system can emit high-energy laser beams in a very short time to accurately destroy enemy targets. In order to improve the efficiency of laser weapons, Li Yang decided to equip it with an advanced aiming system, which can calculate the movement trajectory of enemy targets in real time through quantum computing technology and automatically calibrate the emission direction of the laser beam.
In addition to laser weapons, Li Yang also decided to equip the fighter with a micro-missile launch system. This missile is small in size and fast in speed, and can lock and destroy the enemy's space station or satellite in a very short time. Li Yang marked the location of the missile launch system in detail on the drawing. He decided to hide the missile launcher inside the fuselage to maintain the stealth performance of the fighter. When launching, the missile bay door will open quickly within 0.1 seconds and close immediately after the launch to reduce the enemy's detection probability.
In addition, in order to enhance the fighter's defense capability, Li Yang decided to install an electromagnetic pulse defense system on the fighter's fuselage. This system can release a powerful electromagnetic pulse when the fighter is attacked by enemy missiles or lasers, interfering with the enemy's guidance system, so that the fighter can quickly escape from danger.
The flight control system of the aerospace fighter is one of the keys to the entire design. Li Yang knows that a fighter that can freely shuttle in and out of the atmosphere must have extremely high controllability and stability.
Li Yang decided to design an AI-based flight control system for the fighter. This system can autonomously control the fighter's flight attitude, speed and direction, and automatically respond in emergency situations. Li Yang marked the locations of the various components of the flight control system in detail on the drawings, and he decided to install the central processor in the center of the fighter's fuselage to ensure the stability of data processing.
In order to improve the control accuracy of the fighter, Li Yang decided to add a set of quantum gyroscopes to the flight control system. This gyroscope can provide extremely high-precision attitude control data, allowing the fighter to maintain extremely high stability during high-speed flight. In addition, Li Yang also decided to equip the flight control system with an inertial navigation system to ensure that the fighter can also accurately position itself in space.
Considering the complex environment that aerospace fighters may face in space, Li Yang also decided to design an automatic obstacle avoidance system for the flight control system. This system can monitor obstacles on the flight path in real time through radar and sensors in front of the fighter, and automatically adjust the flight path to avoid collisions.
As a fighter jet capable of performing missions in space, the design of a life support system is extremely important. Li Yang decided to equip the fighter jet with a fully enclosed life support system that can automatically adjust the oxygen, temperature and humidity in the cabin during the flight of the fighter jet, ensuring that the pilot can maintain the best condition in all kinds of environments.
Li Yang marked the location of the oxygen supply system in detail on the drawing. He decided to equip the fighter with a small oxygen generator, which can provide fresh oxygen to the cabin during flight by electrolyzing water. In addition, Li Yang also decided to design an exhaust gas emission system for the fighter, which can filter and discharge carbon dioxide and other harmful gases in the cabin to ensure clean air in the cabin.
In order to cope with the extreme temperature in space, Li Yang decided to install a temperature control system in the cabin of the fighter. This system can absorb or release excess heat through the heat exchanger on the surface of the fighter, thereby maintaining a stable temperature in the cabin.
In addition, Li Yang also considered that the pilot's physical condition might be affected when the fighter plane was performing long-term missions. He decided to install a biological monitoring system in the cabin, which can monitor the pilot's heart rate, blood pressure and other physiological data in real time, and automatically adjust the parameters of the life support system when necessary to ensure the pilot's health.
Li Yang is well aware that future wars will not only rely on human wisdom, but intelligent combat systems will become an important part of the battlefield. In order to give aerospace fighters an advantage in future wars, Li Yang decided to design a highly intelligent combat system for them.
The core of this combat system is an artificial intelligence based on quantum computing, which can process a large amount of battlefield information in a very short time and provide the pilot with the best combat plan. Li Yang marked the location of the artificial intelligence processing unit in detail on the drawing. He decided to install it in the center of the fuselage of the fighter to ensure the stability of data processing.
