Chapter 85
“Is this the paint you use to make supercars?”
Yan Ke pointed to the production line of optical structure paint.
But he was a little curious.
“But why is there only this one color for the paint of your entire production line?”
Although I have never bought a supercar
, Yan Ke still has some understanding. The more expensive the car model, the more optional and paint colors it has, especially for customized and scarce models like supercars, some optional colors can even reach dozens.
Because many rich people don’t care about money, they just like to toss, which also gives car companies room to make huge profits.
And here in Hongqi.
The entire supercar original car company, there is only this one.
When Lu Yan heard the other party ask this question, he immediately explained:
“That’s right, because this is our self-developed car paint. As you know, top-grade car paints are all imported now, and some are very expensive. Their lifespan and anti-aging degree are only about five years.……”
“But the car paint we develop in-house is different. It can last for more than ten years and will not change color or wrinkle, even at high temperatures of thousands of degrees, or low temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero to 100 degrees. It is also very corrosion-resistant. In theory, its properties can remain unchanged in any extreme environment.……”
“And our car paint has another biggest feature……”
Before Lu Yan finished his introduction,
Yan Ke’s face began to look a little strange. He suddenly interrupted and said
“Academician Huo, what is the specific temperature resistance value of the surface coating of our fighter planes? ?”
Mr. Huo immediately said:”The maximum temperature resistance of ordinary coatings can reach 800 degrees, but if it is the coating on Hong 20, the maximum temperature resistance is only 250 degrees Celsius. If it is higher, the surface will deform and decompose, and lose its stealth ability.……”
Unlike other fighters, the Hong-20, as the latest generation of stealth fighter, has composite materials on its surface. Although it is more functional, its temperature resistance value is lower, even the latest generation of fighters in the United States is the same.
You should know that when a fighter flies high in the sky, the temperature difference on the surface may reach hundreds of degrees Celsius, and the process of alternating between hot and cold occurs in a very short time, so this value is an important standard indicator.
“In other words, the car paint in front of us has a higher temperature resistance value than the outer coating of fighter jets.……”
Yan Ke stared at the paint on the production line, and his eyes immediately changed.
This temperature resistance value is a huge improvement even if it is used on ordinary fighter jets!
“Wait, what is the biggest feature of this car paint you just mentioned? Are there any other advantages? ?”
When the topic was brought up to fighter jets,
Lu Yan was dumbfounded and stammered:
“Our optical structure car paint… In addition to shielding clutter, the biggest feature is that it can change the refractive index of light color at different speeds. The principle is that the air flow speed is accelerated according to the different friction of the airflow. Therefore, the faster the speed, the lower the refractive index of light. If the speed can reach more than 300 kilometers per hour, this car can achieve a sci-fi semi-invisible effect.……”
“Of course! Leader, this is just a gimmick for the promotion of this supercar, and we at Hongqi will never do anything illegal. You know that the maximum speed limit on highways in our country is 120 kilometers per hour, so at this speed, at most, outsiders can only see a visual difference in the outline, and it will not cause any traffic hazards.……”
“Moreover, no one in China can drive over 300 kilometers for a long time.”
Lu Yan said with certainty.
He has studied it, and this car paint will not cause any traffic hazards at all.
As for the so-called invisible function.
To be honest.
China does not have the unlimited speed highways like those in foreign countries, and no one will drive over 300 kilometers per hour.
So it is a gimmick, and there is nothing wrong with it.
But he didn’t notice it.
When he said that over 300 kilometers per hour can achieve a sci-fi semi-invisible effect…
Yan Ke and a group of academicians and experts suddenly widened their eyes again!!
Their faces were full of incredible shock!!
Yan Ke took a deep breath, looked at Lu Yan deeply, turned his head and asked:”Academician Huo, can the optical invisibility ability he mentioned really be realized technically? ?”
Old Huo pondered:”From the technical principle, it should be possible, but this is just a technical concept, because it is extremely difficult to find and develop materials that can achieve optical invisibility.”
The literal meaning of optical invisibility is to achieve the effect of invisibility under the conditions of naked eyes and natural light.
And if a company really comes up with this kind of thing, it is no exaggeration to say that it will change the world!! It means that people and cars can be directly invisible. It is not only used as a gimmick, even if it is used to commit a crime, it is very”punishable”!!
Lu Yan is of course well aware of the pros and cons in this regard, and nodded honestly:”Yes, yes, leader, this is just a technical concept. Theoretically, it is absolutely impossible for our supercars to achieve invisibility, so there is no possibility of harming society.”
Yan Ke nodded:”Indeed, the car paint you mentioned is difficult to achieve complete invisibility on ordinary cars, including supercars. Semi-invisibility requires a speed of 300 miles per hour. To be completely invisible, the speed must be at least 500 kilometers per hour.……”
“But if I remember correctly, our fighter jets can reach a maximum speed of 2.45 Mach, and the normal cruising speed can easily reach between 1.8 and 2 Mach, which is an average of 2,400 kilometers per hour when converted to highway speed. The key is that your car paint is very resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, so does this mean that our fighter jets are at normal speeds?” As soon as these words came out,
Lu Yan was completely stunned!
Ah?
Fighter jets???
This question… He had never thought about it!
He only imagined the various working conditions and practical applications of supercars. He had never thought about this aspect.
But the leader of the Air Force Equipment Department raised the height to fighter jets right away…
The technology extracted by the system this time was indeed not named after military and aerospace materials, so he subconsciously thought that it was just a little bit too strong.���That’s all.
But who would have thought that she was waiting for him here!!
Damn it!
He looked at a loss.
He met Yan Ke’s eyes of”recognition” and”approval”, and patted Lu Yan’s young shoulder very cordially:
“Xiao Lu, how about this?……”
“I think your material is a bit excessive for use in supercars, but it should be just right for use in fighter jets!”
He really did come to the right place.
Hongqi, a car manufacturing company, is simply a treasure. As long as you are willing to dig, you can find different surprises!
And Lu Yan, this kid, did not disappoint him.
The whole idea and creativity of car manufacturing completely coincide with the various technical indicators required for their new generation of fighter jets!
Now he has completely regarded Lu Yan as an excellent and reliable junior!
If he had not been successful in his career and his ambition was to build cars, he would even want to give this junior in front of him a precious opportunity to”re-employ”!
However, the ability to achieve optical stealth on fighter jets, although amazing, is still a little lacking for major air defense countries.
With the speed of contemporary fighter jets
, the real means of detection still depends on radar and infrared equipment, and the main direction of stealth research and development is to use coatings and outer structures to shield radar waves and infrared waves.
This is what is commonly known as”electronic stealth” and”infrared stealth” in the military.
If these two can be achieved on the basis of optical stealth, it can only be said that it is almost invincible. Radar cannot detect and missiles cannot lock, unless firepower coverage is given at all costs.
“By the way, you just mentioned that your car paint has some other special features.……”
“Can it block signal noise? ?”
Yan Ke suddenly thought of something.
“What is the specific manifestation of this signal clutter shielding?”
Seeing this, Lu Yan immediately replied:”In fact, it is not a profound feature. It is just to make the outer layer of the paint absorb the radar electronic signal waves as much as possible, so that the outside world can reduce the signal interference to the car. That’s it.”
“Huh?”
After hearing this, Yan Ke immediately lost his composure!!
“Have you ever tested the shielding strength of your car paint against electron waves? ?”
He immediately grasped the key point.
Lu Yan scratched his head:
“This… we haven’t had time to test it yet. This internal R&D project was too rushed. Many parts were put together in a hurry. There was no time to do more testing. The brake system malfunctioned before the race. We just tested the main stealth effect.……”
Yan Ke understood.
This guy probably didn’t even know how powerful this thing he made was.
Based on his previous experience, he immediately turned to Sun Youhua and asked:
“Minister Sun, did you bring our air defense radar detectors and military infrared detectors with you this time? ?”
This question made Sun Youhua stunned!
“Ah… why do we bring that? This is not a war drill!!”
To be honest.
This is a car company’s production plant.
There is no need for two large military detectors.
But he suddenly reacted and his face became shocked! (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“No way, you mean……”
Could it be used to test the car paint in front of them?
That shouldn’t be possible! The fact that they can achieve optical invisibility already astounds them!!
How amazing would it be if they could combine electronic invisibility and infrared invisibility? ? []
Electronic invisibility and infrared invisibility are currently the main research directions of the National Academy and the Institute of Materials, and are also one of the biggest technical challenges for the military!
It was already possible in the early years.
However, with the superpowers led by the United States, various radar detection technologies have made rapid progress.
The radar invisibility and infrared invisibility technologies that were once so proud of have gradually become useless and can only be used to bully small countries. It is meaningless.
Now that there is a breakthrough in this area, the progress will be huge.
This technology can be used not only on fighter jets, but also on tanks, rockets, and even drones.
“Make a phone call right now and have someone bring the equipment over, as fast as possible, I want to test it now!!”
Yan Ke said in a strong tone.
Hearing this, although Sun Youhua’s face was full of disbelief, he did not dare to delay and made a phone call immediately.
Twenty minutes later, a group of special forces escorted two military detection vehicles to the Hongqi factory.
The biggest difference between these two military radar vehicles and ordinary military armored vehicles is that the famous phased array radar is installed on the roof. At present, this model is considered the main means of reconnaissance against mobile targets in the air.
Looking at the two huge armored radar detection vehicles,
Lu Yan really couldn’t hold it anymore:
“Leader, this is not necessary… This is just a car paint.……”
Yan Ke patted his shoulder and said with a soothing smile:
“Xiao Lu, don’t be too nervous. Didn’t you just say that you are in a time crunch at Red Flag and don’t have time to test the external wave absorption capability? In this case, I will directly use the military air defense radar for you to test. The data is much more accurate than your own measurement. Isn’t it more convenient?”
Lu Yan:”……”
As soon as the military radar vehicle arrived, the academician expert team on site started to work.
Testing data is their strong point.
However, when the actual results came out, all the experts present could not help but take a deep breath!!
“Report, no target acquired with conventional strafing!!”
“After concentrated scanning, it was found that the radar reflection area of the target surface was 0.0025!!”
The leading academician Huo was even more shocked!
This data has exceeded the current military’s internal self-developed coatings by many times!!
What they dispatched is a phased array radar vehicle, one of the best detection radars in the world.
But the reflection area is smaller than that of a bird.
This can completely deceive 99% of the world’s military radars!!
“What?!”
“I really can’t scan it!!”
Yan Ke’s eyes were burning, and his expression became very excited!
This time there is really a big discovery!!
This data is almost the same as complete radar invisibility.
“”Quick, use the infrared scanning car to see, what’s the result?”
Other experts immediately used infrared detection scanning.
The results were even more astonishing.
“Infrared cannot be detected, it is completely blocked!!”
The expert over there reported
“”Good, good, good!!!”
Yan Ke said three good words at once!
He was extremely excited!
This time, we have optical invisibility, radar invisibility and infrared invisibility. What can the United States use to fight them in an air battle?
Even if we use it on the army tanks, it will be invincible!
“Xiao Lu, I didn’t expect your car paint data to be so good!!”
Yan Ke was amazed
“But it is indeed as I said just now, it is a bit excessive to use it in car manufacturing. Even for supercars, even phased array radars can’t detect it. The road test radars on the roadside are even less likely to detect it. Once it is on the road, it will cause a lot of abnormal violations.”
Lu Yan:”Khan… Leader, I……”
Yan Ke raised his hand and said,”Okay, no need to explain. I know what you mean. You Hongqi really want to build an excellent supercar, but now the country needs a lot of car paint for military use. Can your production capacity meet this requirement? Starting from 500 tons in the first year.”
Lu Yan nodded and said,”It should be possible. We have a lot of vacant factories to continue to expand the production line.”
The process of optical structure paint is not that complicated compared to other technologies, and the production line can be expanded quickly.
“That’s fine. As for the problem of radar detection, I’m afraid your car factory will have to solve it by yourselves. My suggestion is to add main reflective surfaces to the sides and front of the car body, otherwise it can only run on the track, and it will not pass the inspection on the road.”Yan Ke added that no matter how powerful he is, he can’t let this kind of thing run on the road. It is simply a land rocket out of surveillance.
Lu Yan continued to nod like a chicken pecking at rice:”Leader, don’t worry, I have thought of a solution.”
He decided to replace several main carbon fiber parts on the surface with ordinary gray paint, so that while retaining some structural optical visual effects, it can be detected by normal radar waves. After all, their Hongqi has never promoted this aspect, and they don’t even know about it.
“Well, that’s good.”
Yan Ke nodded.
This trip here can be said to be fruitful.
Just look at the expert team over there. After the radar detection results came out, several old academician experts, while holding the material ratios at the factory, wanted to dive into the raw material pool to study the secrets of this shielding material!!
“By the way, do you have any other production lines for Hongqi?”
Yan Ke suddenly asked again.
Lu Yan was stunned:”Leader, what do you mean?”
Yan Ke smiled and said:”Nothing, just asking, if there is, let’s go and take a look together.”
Lu Yan shook his head like a rattle:
“No, it’s really gone this time.……”
“We have only two high-end models at present. The previous backward models have been discontinued!!”
Just kidding.
Even these two models have not been delivered yet.
The production line of Hongqi S9 has been expanded almost, and it seems that it can be fully put into operation and start large-scale delivery.
“That’s all?”
Yan Ke’s eyes looked a little unsatisfied.
“How about this, if you Hongqi releases any new cars in the future, remember to send me a message.”
???
Hearing this,
Lu Yan was dumbfounded. We Hongqi releases a new car, and we have to send a message to your air force?? Knife
?.
