The Shenlong project is progressing smoothly, and Duke is much easier. Now, with this mature R&D mechanism in operation, the R&D personnel's mind is focused on technological breakthroughs, and the coordination of disputes is much less. When most people are single-minded in doing things, even a few black sheep cannot cause much trouble.

Most of the people who do technology are a bit arrogant, especially in today's best era. It not only provides everyone with more advanced R&D environment and auxiliary tools than their foreign counterparts, but also has a more transparent progress monitoring mechanism. No one wants to be on the red list of the R&D management system, because the green list in that list means everything is normal, the yellow represents something that can keep up with the progress, while the red list is a project with serious delays.

This is more effective than fines or other punishment measures, because not only can be seen by internal R&D personnel of AVIC, but also by military leaders at the fourth headquarters. It is embarrassing to the eyes of national leaders, and it is really thrown to grandma's house.

Therefore, a good mechanism always has a clear incentive effect only if the reward and punishment are clearly distinguished.

What's more, there is a real expert with very powerful technology, the first big guy in the domestic science and technology industry to win the Nobel Prize in Science, whoever has achieved results is considered himself. There is absolutely no leader who can avoid Dr. Duke's vision and take scientific research results for himself, because the chief scientist not only has a special anonymous mailbox to accept everyone's complaints, but also has a superhuman technological brain that distinguishes true and false. No one can blind him.

In this way, in the five most brilliant golden years that later became known as the most brilliant R&D institutions under AVIC, with the huge creativity of R&D personnel, the various project teams of the Shenlong Project have made continuous progress in technology. With the innovative spirit they inspired, they have developed many products that Duke praised.

Moreover, Duke has less and less opportunities to intervene in this process. After Duke SDKing its core technology in computers, it greatly reduces the difficulty of R&D personnel in mastering high-end computer technologies such as artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and fuzzy computing. Cooperating with the new generation of high-performance chips developed by Duke Electronics for various professional use occasions in the military, as well as the new general-purpose CPUs that Williams has begun to launch continuously. It can be said that in computers and communications, the domestic aviation industry has already become a world-class level.

In this process, the military's vigorous demand for high-performance chips and general-purpose CPUs has made Cai Siqiang decisively ask SAL to buy a chip processing company and invest huge money to transform. Now it has the world's mainstream chip processing capabilities, which has greatly improved the domestic technology level in promoting the core industry of independent computers. Williams' latest successful G2 chip, with 4 times performance on G1, has fully approached the performance of IBM's previous generation POWER7+, and has successfully narrowed the gap in CPU to one generation.

In conjunction with the Nuwa 2.0 system, the new server based on G2, a high-performance CPU, has completely ended the history of high-performance servers requiring import of CPUs. The military has now begun to fully replace the Nuwa system and G2 computers based on domestic independent technology in terms of computers, and government agencies have also designated the use of G2 computers. In the civil field, this new Nuwa system and G2 computer have also begun to win some markets with increasingly rich applications and high cost performance.

However, in order to balance the various domestic economic forces, SAL did not enter this market this time, but only provided CPUs and high-performance servers, and handed over ordinary G2 computers in the government and consumer markets to other domestic computer companies for promotion.

The huge domestic demand market has allowed the chip design company hosted by Williams to enter a virtuous cycle. His R&D team is now even larger. While designing the G2 model, it can also start the design of the G3. G3 will be a native 16-core, integrating up to 64MB cache. If the R&D is successful, it will catch up with IBM's Power8 level and further shorten the gap with IBM. If the launch time is similar to that of Power8+, Williams is confident that this G3 will compete with the Power8-based server.

With such good basic computer conditions, radar, aero engines and missile control are the first to make breakthroughs. A new generation of active electronic scanning array (AESA) radar came into being. This new type of radar nicknamed "Sky Eagle" has three models, one is the small Sky Eagle 60, the other is the medium Sky Eagle 80 and the large Sky Eagle 120.

Among them, the level of the Sky Eagle 60 is close to the early APG77V1 radar of the US F22. The core processor uses a G2 core computer system, with a maximum effect range of more than 180 kilometers. The number of targets that can be tracked at the same time is 30 aerial targets and 16 ground targets. Since the weight of the entire system does not exceed 200 kilograms, it is obvious that this radar is the perfect match for our army's JF-10 fighter jets.

In addition to the first export-oriented Xiaolong supporting cluster combat software system, considering the differences in air opponents faced by different countries, this new system uses the database of combat targets as a module that can be rewrited during export, rather than the universality of the Pakistani army. On the one hand, it limits performance, and on the other hand, it increases targeting, making it more suitable for export.

In this way, the new active electronic scanning array radar, Sky Eagle 60, has greatly improved the individual combat capability of the new JF-11 fighter jet. Although the AESA radar installed has a small power and is still powerless to do anything to fighter like F22, it still greatly enhances the ability to search air and ground targets. Of course, in order to better modify this new radar, the front section of the JF-11 fuselage has also been re-optimized and has better aerodynamic characteristics.

In this way, even for the new F16F15 series fighter jets sold by the US military with AESA radar, the JF-16 export version still has the ability to compete with it. This improvement is also to adapt to the lack of air early warning aircraft in some countries. The JF-16 fighter jets can compete with the new F16F15 series fighter jets under large formation clusters with its own radar.

Although the cost of the new JF-10 will increase by about $1 million for this, it is worth it. A JF-10 International is priced at about $30 million. If the range factor is not taken into account, it is only half the price compared to the F16CD, which is close to its comprehensive performance, and the price is less than one-third of the Boeing F15 fighter and the European Rafale fighter, which are basically close to air combat performance.

This is a huge cost advantage. For countries with small land areas, the JF-11 has an incomparable advantage. Especially not long ago, the JF-111 still fought the SU30MKI and Rafale fighter of the A-San Air Force in the hands of the Pakistani Air Force so hard that it was impossible to find the teeth. So as soon as the new model of the JF-11 was born, buyers from the Arab world soon booked 200 F-11 and several supporting JF-11 or JF-11 early warning aircraft. On the one hand, everyone has the same beliefs and buying this thing is equivalent to supporting Bachelor's. On the other hand, for Arab poor countries that cannot buy or afford the US F16CD or F15, this type of fighter is the only choice at present.

Saudi Arabia, a rich man who is rich and does not lack Air Force fighter jets, also bought more than 50 aircraft with a big buck. On the one hand, to support Pakistani brothers, this batch of aircraft will be manufactured by Pakistan and delivered to Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan will receive a certain share of the revenue.

On the other hand, the Saudi military is also venting its dissatisfaction with the US's position in the India-Pakistan war and is too biased towards the three governments. The rich Saudi Arabia also purchased a 2,000 Aeronautics police to support it. The batch of Xiaolong fighters purchased by the Saudi military adopts a specially customized version of the tactical system, which is mainly specially customized for the Israeli and Persian fighters. Therefore, when the Saudi military booked this batch of fighters and organized a confrontation with the Pakistani Air Force in a joint military exercise, it was only when the Pakistani side's kindness was not at all inferior in the confrontation between a squadron of the Bachelor's army, the Bachelor's F15 was sent by the Pakistani army, and it was not at all inferior!

You should know that the Saudi military's F15 was purchased at a price of more than ten times more expensive than the Xiaolong. The Saudi military then knew how unfair it was. Although the military purchase with the US military was not without the purpose of political exchange, the price was so high that it was indeed such a thing that the Saudi military's senior management was even more dissatisfied with the US military.

After the internal confrontation between Saudi Arabia and Pakistani military was detected by Israeli military intelligence personnel, the senior executives of the Israeli military were shocked. They found the Xiaolongs of China who asked to purchase three squadrons. They have always used American equipment. Obviously, this is not for equipment, but for research purposes. Faced with this situation, although they have close military relations with the Israeli military in history, China still politely declined the purchase requirement of the Israeli military because the Israeli military is too purposeful.

The Arab world's large-scale procurement of JF-17 fighter jets put huge pressure on the Israeli military. They began to ask the US military to provide new military aid and equip F35 or F22 fighter jets to regain air superiority over the Arab world.

However, these causes and effects are the decisions of the senior military leaders and have little to do with Qin Tairan, let alone Duke. Although Lao Qin is now the executive vice president of AVIC, he will attend when negotiating prices and signing agreements. It is the decision of the superior to whom he sells it, not just for economic benefits.
