When the smoke of gunpowder in the South China Sea gradually rose, Duke ushered in a new round of busy work period.

In the huge hangar at Base 132, a brand new fighter plane stands. If the US military sees this fighter plane, it will definitely be shocked.

"Duke, is this F-22 fighter jet?" Dong Feng asked around the very familiar and unfamiliar fighter jet in front of him, but he still asked in disbelief. "It's really the same as seeing the F-22 on TV, but now I always feel that it's as unreal as a dream. The most advanced fighter jet of the American devils actually fell into our hands. It's really incredible."

"This is the F-22 that is replaced by a fake package, but it is not original and cannot fly either." Duke said with a smile. "This is spliced ​​out by the wreckage of the F-22 that our naval salvage team had salvaged for about two weeks. In addition to being unable to fly, it is definitely the same as the US military's active F-22. In the 601st station, an F-35 was spliced ​​out. After this air battle in Diaoyutai, there were quite a lot of good things that fell into our sea."

"I really didn't expect our air force to become so powerful now. It's really awesome. Even the F-22s have been killed." Dong Feng looked at the fighter plane with his eyes straight and sighed, "No, Duke, my buddy's ambition has been sublimated. The next goal is to fly this kind of fighter plane for a ride in the sky. Don't mention Black Hawks to me in the future. Compared with the F-22, those things are simply weak. When can we build one of this thing? Can you build one in a year? If so, my buddy has to find a flight academy to study."

"One year? You dream," Duke replied with a wry smile, "Do you think I am a god, or do the F-22 be a cabbage? The Americans have such a powerful aviation industry foundation, and it took more than 20 years to create this guy. If we copy it in one year, they wouldn't have vomited blood and died? But if I were given three years, I might be able to copy it like a cat and a tiger."

"Three years? Will it be too long?" Dong Feng was a little disappointed. This time was too long for him, but Qi Haiyang, the deputy chief of 611 next to him, his eyes were straightened. Three years? Dr. Duke would not speak nonsense. At the time, SU-27 had a complete set of process and technical documents and a complete production line. It took Shen Fei almost 6 years to barely manufacture most of the components independently and successfully assembled J-11, and the key components of the engine were not solved for more than ten years.

This is still a third-generation aircraft. Dr. Duke actually said that he could copy the F-22 fighter in three years. This tone is a bit too big. However, Qi Haiyang thought of the shadow drone. This thing is also one of the top equipment of the US military. It seems that it was copied by DSM in a blink of an eye. More than a dozen shadows flying in the sky now have added a pair of cliffhangers to the PLA Air Force, and played an extremely important role in this Diaoyutai air battle.

What is even more surprising is that DSM has successfully developed ultra-long-range stealth strategic bombers that can carry nuclear weapons on this basis - Terminator I drone. This is even more rare than replicating Shadow. Although the 611 Institute has also made a lot of efforts in this research and development process, Qi Haiyang knows that the most core intelligent system of this drone is almost entirely derived from DSM, especially the support of Dr. Duke's intelligent technology engine.

A Terminator I ultra-long-range unmanned bomber can carry 4 500 kilogram nuclear bombs or 3 700 kilogram nuclear bombs. Each one is powerful enough to destroy a city. The explosion was dozens of times higher than the Hiroshima atomic bomb back then. This lethal power is enough to make Terminator I a name that is truly one of the ultimate forces in the PLA's current arsenal.

The DSM R&D Center, a group of geniuses that cannot be viewed with common sense, can create any miracle.

After shaking his head, Qi Haiyang completely left the questioning mentality behind. As the technical director of the 611 Institute for strategic cooperation with DSM, the more capable Dr. Duke is, the more results they have in their cooperation. Since the assembly and approval of DSM as a comprehensive military enterprise, Duchess Heavy Industry and its partners have increased their capital by 10 billion yuan to establish an aviation R&D center to specialize in the development of fighter jets and drones. Chengfei, a near-water tower, is of course Duke's primary strategic partner chosen.

"Mr. Dong, if the F-22 can be really built in three years, it will be a major event that will shock the world's aviation industry. You must know that this is the main fighter jet of the US military now and even in the next ten years." Qi Haiyang said with a smile, "But I guess even if we can imitate this fighter jet, the Air Force will not use it. At most, they will ask us to build a few fighter jets for Blue Army troops.

On the one hand, the cost of manufacturing this fighter is not low. According to some published materials, the pure manufacturing cost amortized without R&D costs is more than 200 million US dollars. Moreover, it is too difficult for us to develop exactly the same composite materials and special titanium alloys.

On the other hand, this fighter has a slightly inferior performance compared to our later modified J-20B. After all, this is a fighter studied in the last century. The new generation of the US military's F-22C is about to enter mass production. It is said that the US military's F-22C has made new breakthroughs in both engines and avionics. Compared with the old F-22A/B, the combat power of the new F-22C fighter must increase by at least 30%.

"Mr. Qi is right. We will not imitate a large number of these fighter aircraft and equipped troops. However, if it is just a simple imitation, our problem with the materials is not too big. We now have a lot of ready-made materials to use, and there is no need to manufacture them completely according to their materials."

Duke Socket said, "We just need to understand the physical and chemical characteristics of their materials and use alternative materials that meet the performance of these materials. Our Duches Heavy Industry now has many special material products, whether it is high-strength composite materials or titanium-based special alloys, and nickel-based ultra-high temperature alloys. It is not difficult to find a replacement material."

"For us, the most difficult thing is their aero engines and avionics facilities. However, this time the Japanese and Americans gave us a big gift. From the wreckage of the fighter jets salvaged from the sea, several repairable F119 and F135 engines were salvaged, which gave our research work an excellent foundation.

In my opinion, within three years, we have studied and worked through these two engines and not only did we have much problem with imitating them, but it also plays an important reference role for several main engines in our Shenlong plan. In this regard, the Americans are ahead of us. Some new technologies and clever designs involved in F119 and F135 can greatly shorten the development process of our new aircraft engine. The Americans and the Japanese gave this gift in time, just in time, just in time for the critical period of our Shenlong plan. With this gift, it is entirely possible for us to complete the predetermined mission goals in advance." Duke said confidently.
