Chapter 691: ‘Ray Sculpture’ Helicopter

Guizhou Aircraft Group.

After a series of upgrades to the Black Eagle helicopter, Liu Tao began to improve the avionics system of the Black Eagle helicopter.

The original avionics system of the Black Hawk helicopter was backward compared to the current one.

And Liu Tao is an expert in this regard.

After improving the avionics system, the entire Black Eagle helicopter has a brand new look, and it can be said to be a brand new helicopter.

Liu Tao named it the Raid Eagle helicopter.

The Raid Eagle helicopter is currently only a basic model, which is used for the army. Liu Tao named the army version the Raid Eagle A helicopter. In addition to the crew of 4, it can carry up to 11 passengers, that is, it can carry a squad of troops at one time.

The Raid Eagle B helicopter is a special version for the navy, used for anti-submarine, search and rescue, anti-ship, transportation and special operations. It uses frigates, destroyers, aircraft carriers, etc. as platforms, uses sonar buoys and torpedoes for anti-submarine operations, and can also be used as a radar sentry for ships to expand the radar warning range. It can also use air-to-ground missiles, 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles, anti-submarine torpedoes, etc.

Liu Tao arranged the production of these two helicopters, and Guifei formed a production line in this project.

He did not develop other versions. At that time, Guifei Group naturally had a special team to develop helicopters for other purposes on this basis, as well as upgrade these two versions of helicopters.

He only needs to do development work, and the follow-up will naturally be handed over to others, which is also used to cultivate the technical team.

If he did everything, the technical team would not get the opportunity to practice and grow, and China's development would be weak.

The 'Ray Eagle' helicopter and the 'Black Hawk' helicopter have many similarities, but there are also many differences.

The 'Ray Eagle' helicopter is 19.9 meters long, the rotor diameter is 16.5 meters, the height is 5.2 meters, the rotor area is 220 square meters, the empty weight is 4,800 kg, the load is 7,800 kg, the maximum take-off weight is 12,600 kg, and the engine uses 2 free turboshaft engines (2×1250kW).

The maximum speed is 380 km/h, the combat radius is 667 km, the flight distance is 2500 km, the practical ceiling is 5800m, the climb rate is 3.8m/s, and the weapon system includes 2 7.62mm machine guns, a minesweeping system, an "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missile, an air-to-ground missile, and a 19-unit 70mm rocket launcher.

Liu Tao gave Guifei the task of producing 100 "Ray Sculpture A" helicopters and 50 "Ray Sculpture B" helicopters in the first batch. Even if the troops do not use them, these 100 "Ray Sculpture A" helicopters can also be used by Panshan Group itself, equipped with various production bases and armed forces.

As for the prototype, it is naturally used as Liu Tao's special aircraft.

After arranging the production task of the "Ray Sculpture" helicopter, Liu Tao explained to Yu Ximing.

"Chief Engineer Yu, the performance of this "Ray Sculpture" helicopter is very advanced, and there is a lot of room for exploration. In addition to exploring the potential of the "Ray Sculpture A" helicopter and the "Ray Sculpture B" helicopter, you must also develop other functional models." Liu Tao urged.

He said: "You can develop a special operations version based on this, and provide it specifically for special forces to conduct special operations; you can also develop a fire-fighting model, add a water tank to the belly of the aircraft, and use it for firefighting by the fire brigade; you can also provide it specifically for medical evacuation, place a stretcher on the aircraft, equip it with an oxygen supply system, a medical system, etc."

A helicopter can develop multiple models with a certain function.

In the world, the helicopters of the United States and the Soviet Union are the most advanced and have the strongest helicopter development capabilities. Next are the United Kingdom and France, and the helicopters of these two countries are also remarkable.

As for China, it could only be imitated before, but the imitation version also has many shortcomings, and even some imitation aircraft have big problems with stability and safety.

Now that we have the "Ray Sculpture" helicopter, we can develop more multi-purpose models of helicopters on this basis and dig out the role of this helicopter as much as possible.

Yu Ximing nodded and wrote it down.

Every helicopter for a certain purpose requires a team, and this team must be established, and then recruit new people, and develop it over the years.

All of these take a long time.

National Day.

Siheyuan

Liu Tao was playing with the children.

At this time, the secretary came over with a mobile phone, "Leader, your phone call."

"Who is calling from?" Liu Tao asked casually without raising his head.

The secretary looked strange, "The other party said it was Sweden, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences."

Liu Tao raised his eyebrows. Why did they call him at this time?

Suddenly, Liu Tao thought of a possibility.

After checking the time, Liu Tao knew that from today, the Nobel Prize "award week" officially kicked off, and the six major awards will be announced one by one.

Today will be the time for the Nobel Prize in Physics to be announced.

Liu Tao took the phone and put it to his ear.

"Hello?"

After that "Hello", two minutes passed.

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Liu Tao's expression gradually became strange.

Not long after, the call ended.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Tao, looking at the phone screen, was silent for a long time.

Zhu Lin looked curious, looked at the strange expression on Liu Tao's face, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Tao was silent for a while, then said: "I might have won the prize!"

Win the prize?

After hearing Liu Tao's sudden words, Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "What prize did you win?"

Without hiding it, Liu Tao answered truthfully: "Nobel Prize."

Zhu Lin stared at Liu Tao with wide eyes, and asked in a somewhat incoherent voice: "Nobel? That Nobel Prize?"

"Yeah." Liu Tao nodded.

To be honest, he was also quite surprised when he received the call.

Because this is not the first time he has strived for the Nobel Prize, he has published no less than ten Nobel Prize-level results.

But due to political factors, he has never been selected.

Liu Tao does not value the Nobel Prize that much. After all, this thing is not just about making achievements. There are political games behind it.

In this, Americans play a very important role.

And not only Americans, but also Europeans.

If they don't want to, they will do everything possible to obstruct.

China is not like the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union has strong national strength and influence, and can break through such obstacles.

So Liu Tao is very open-minded, if there is no, there is no.

As for domestic awards, he has won enough, awards at all levels.

There is only one foreign award, which is the "Turing Award" in the field of computer science.

He did not expect that this time, the Nobel Prize Committee would give him this award.

As for why the other party had his phone number and called him, Liu Tao was not surprised. These institutions were complicated and powerful, and it was not uncommon to get his mobile phone number.

He was just a little puzzled. Why was it awarded to him this time?

As for the game behind it, Liu Tao knew it after thinking about it.
