Chapter 398: Weapon Firepower System of Aerospace Fighter

Li Yang stood in the center of the laboratory, his hands in the pockets of his white lab coat, staring intently at the densely packed design sketches on the huge whiteboard.

His mind was racing as he thought about the next step - the manufacture of the fire control system and weapon system. This stage would directly determine whether his aerospace fighter could shine on the battlefield in the future.

He took a deep breath, walked to the whiteboard, and lightly ran his fingers over several key nodes on the blueprint. He knew that the fire control system was the "brain" of the entire fighter, and the weapon system was its "claw". The two must be perfectly combined to exert the greatest power on the ever-changing battlefield.

Li Yang first focused on the design of the fire control system, which not only controls the launch of weapons, but also works closely with the fighter's flight control system and radar system to ensure that it can accurately lock and destroy targets in high-speed flight and complex battlefield environments.

He stood in front of the huge design table, picked up a pencil and began to outline the preliminary framework of the fire control system.

The core of the fire control system is a high-performance computing unit, which needs to have extremely high computing speed and reliability. Li Yang's hands moved quickly on the drawings, and the structural designs of those cutting-edge computers in his past life memories emerged in his mind.

"If I can use transistor technology and combine it with the hardware conditions of this era to increase the computing speed to the limit..." Li Yang muttered to himself, frowning slightly.

Currently, the third-generation computer technology is still in a relatively early stage, but he is confident that through his own improvements, he can raise the computing power of this fire control system to an unprecedented level.

Li Yang marked the locations of key electronic components on the design drawings, and then outlined a complex heat dissipation system.

High-performance computer computing units generate a lot of heat when running at high speeds. If the heat cannot be effectively dissipated, it is likely to cause the system to crash. This is not just a simple cooling problem, it is related to the combat performance of the entire fighter.

"The heat dissipation module must be designed to be compact enough while ensuring heat dissipation efficiency." Li Yang's eyes became more focused, and he decided to use a new type of liquid cooling system. This system circulates the coolant driven by an efficient pump through the micro heat dissipation pipes inside the fighter to quickly remove the heat generated by the computing unit.

He picked up a pen and marked the pipeline layout of the liquid cooling system and the flow rate parameters of the coolant in detail on the drawing. The direction of each pipeline, the viscosity of the coolant, and even the power of the pump were all repeatedly considered and calculated by him. Li Yang's fingers slid on the paper, as if these lines and formulas were the thread of fate he had woven for the fighter.

"In this way, the stability of the computing unit should be greatly improved." Li Yang murmured to himself, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Next is the radar module of the fire control system. The radar system is the "eye" of the fire control system, and it must have extremely high detection accuracy and anti-interference capabilities. Li Yang decided to use phased array radar technology, which can accurately lock and track the target by adjusting the phase of the radar transmit array.

However, Li Yang was well aware that radar technology of this era was far from reaching this level.

In order to solve this problem, he decided to improve the existing radar antenna. He designed a new type of radar antenna on the drawing, which consists of multiple transmitting units and can form a controllable radar beam by precisely controlling the phase of each unit.

This design not only improves the detection distance of the radar, but also greatly enhances the anti-interference capability.

Li Yang marked the size and arrangement of each transmitting unit next to the design of the radar antenna. He gestured in the air, as if calculating every change in angle and distance in his mind. He knew that the design of the radar antenna must be accurate to the millimeter level, and any tiny error could cause the entire radar system to fail.

"Phase-controlled array radar..." Li Yang whispered to himself, with a light flashing in his eyes. He decided to coat the surface of the radar antenna with a special wave-absorbing material, which can effectively reduce the reflected signal of the enemy radar, thereby reducing the possibility of being detected.

As the design was gradually completed, Li Yang gradually had a clear idea in his mind. He walked to the corner of the laboratory, took down a few spare electronic components from the shelf, and began to assemble the prototype of the fire control system. The light in the laboratory reflected on his focused face, and sweat slid down his forehead, but it did not affect his movements at all.

A few hours later, the prototype of the fire control system was finally assembled. Li Yang carefully checked every soldering point to ensure that all connections were firm and reliable. He turned on the power, held his breath, and pressed the start button.

With a slight buzzing sound, the display screen of the fire control system lit up. Li Yang stared at the data on the screen and his fingers moved quickly on the control panel. He tested the system's computing speed and the detection capability of the radar module. All the data showed normal.

"Success." Li Yang whispered, his eyes flashing with excitement. He knew that this fire control system was the limit of what he could achieve under the technical conditions of this era, and it would provide the most powerful combat support for the aerospace fighter.

After the prototype of the fire control system was successfully tested, Li Yang turned his attention to the design of the weapon system. The weapon system is the "claw" of the aerospace fighter, and it must have extremely high strike capability and flexibility. Li Yang decided to equip the fighter with a new directed energy weapon - a high-energy laser weapon.

High-energy laser weapons are weapons that use laser beams to penetrate targets at high speed, with extremely high strike accuracy and energy concentration. However, this weapon technology is still in the preliminary research stage. Li Yang knows that in order to create a practical laser weapon in this era, he must overcome multiple technical difficulties.

The first is the energy of the laser. In order to generate a laser beam with a high enough energy, Li Yang decided to use a solid-state laser as the laser source. This laser uses a crystal doped with rare earth elements as the working material and excites a high-energy laser beam through optical pumping technology.

Li Yang laid out a piece of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystal on the experimental table. This crystal has excellent optical properties and is an ideal material for making solid-state lasers. He carefully observed the internal structure of the crystal with a magnifying glass to confirm its purity and uniformity.

"The quality of this crystal is very good and can produce a stable laser beam." Li Yang nodded with satisfaction, and then he began to design the optical cavity structure of the laser. The optical cavity is the core part of the laser, which determines the frequency and energy output of the laser.

Li Yang sketched out a complex optical cavity structure on the design drawing. This structure consists of two highly reflective mirrors, which enhance the energy of the laser by repeatedly reflecting the light beam. His fingers gently ran over every detail on the drawing, thinking about how to optimize the reflectivity and stability of the optical cavity.

"The surface of the reflector must be specially coated to achieve high reflectivity." Li Yang murmured to himself and decided to use a multi-layer dielectric coating technology, which can form an extremely thin multi-layer film on the surface of the reflector, significantly improving the reflection effect.

The next issue is the focusing of the laser beam. Li Yang knows that a high-energy laser beam must be precisely focused when it is emitted in order to form a sufficient energy density on the target. He designed a complex focusing system on the drawing, which consists of a set of high-precision lenses. By adjusting the curvature and arrangement of the lenses, the laser beam can be precisely focused.

Li Yang walked to the corner of the laboratory, took down several high-precision lenses from the shelf, and began to assemble the focusing system. His fingers moved quickly between the lenses, fixing them one by one in front of the optical cavity of the laser. The arrangement of the lenses must be extremely precise, and any slight deviation may cause the laser beam to diverge and fail to form an effective strike.
