126: Beidou system design is completed!

After Peng Lin agreed to serve as the Chief Designer for Air Force Equipment Development, he officially had two offices in the Ministry of National Defense.

They were located on the third floor in the Army Department and on the seventh floor in the Air Force Department of the Ministry of National Defense building.

Whether it was the Chief Designer for Army Equipment Development or the Chief Designer for Air Force Equipment Development, both were positions of immense power within the Ministry of National Defense, the Army, and the Air Force, with numerous official duties that absolutely could not be combined into a single office.

For example, the Chief Designer for Air Force Equipment Development was responsible for twelve major duties:

Such as, formulating the long-term and medium-term development plan for Air Force equipment, clarifying technical routes and development directions, and ensuring that the equipment system matches national security strategy and Air Force operational needs.

Coordinating the full life cycle management of Air Force equipment research and development, production, deployment, and upgrades, ensuring the systematic and modular development of the equipment.

Leading the independent research and development and technological breakthroughs of key equipment.

Coordinating the research and development resources of national aviation military industrial units to avoid redundant investment and improve R&D efficiency.

Formulating equipment technical specifications based on Air Force operational needs to ensure that the equipment meets actual combat requirements.

Organizing joint military-civilian demonstrations to ensure close integration of equipment R&D and tactical application, and so on.

Furthermore, he had to promote the cultivation of talent in the aviation industry, establish a military industrial research and development echelon, and ensure technological inheritance and innovation.

It can be said without exaggeration that the position of Chief Designer for Air Force Equipment Development directly relates to the future development direction of the Dragon Kingdom's Air Force!

"Comrade Peng Lin, within three days, the Air Force Command will submit all reports on Air Force operational needs, battlefield environment analysis, existing equipment performance data, and foreign benchmark equipment parameters to your office!"

"In addition, the Air Force Command will provide you with the highest level of R&D authorization support, including but not limited to cross-unit coordination authority, budget allocation authority, and test site usage authority!"

"Furthermore, the Air Force Command will also establish military intelligence sharing with your office, provide the latest dynamics of enemy aviation equipment, grant you the highest confidential R&D authority, allowing access to top-secret military industrial technical data, ensuring that R&D is not restricted by any information barriers..."

General Liu Yufei, Commander of the Air Force, said to Peng Lin.

Aside from direct military deployment authority, he had granted almost all other authorities to the Air Force Equipment Development Chief Designer's office.

Ever since Peng Lin proposed the 3.5-generation fighter jet plan at the Air Force's new fighter jet R&D conference, Commander Liu Yufei had made up his mind that within five years, the Dragon Kingdom's Air Force must be reborn and rejuvenated!

And for Peng Lin, he naturally had to treat him with the "courtesy of a national scholar"!

"Commander, rest assured, within three years, I will definitely develop the world's most advanced equipment system for the Air Force's development!"

"To propel our country's Air Force towards a world-class level!"

Peng Lin assured Commander Liu Yufei... In the afternoon.

Peng Lin did not immediately go to work at the Air Force office on the seventh floor, but instead remained in the Chief Designer for Army Equipment Development office.

After all, it would take some time for the Air Force Command to staff his department and office with relevant subordinates and personnel.

If he went there now, he would be a lone commander, completely unable to effectively carry out his work.

Moreover, on the Army side, he was equally busy.

For example: the Army's combined arms brigade equipment upgrade plan, new weapon R&D progress reports, combat training feedback, budget allocation applications, and foreign military equipment analysis reports, among other matters.

Peng Lin opened the accumulated documents and reviewed them one by one.

Of course, while reviewing these documents, Peng Lin also discovered some good news.

Because as the Chief Designer for Army Equipment Development, many important Army weapon equipment developments required his signature and approval.

Therefore, after these equipments were developed, Peng Lin actually gained a large number of research points.

【Research Project Name: Type 79 Light Tank】

【Difficulty Assessment: B】

【Task Progress: 100%】

【Task Reward: 2000 Research Points】

【Equipment Description: 105mm rifled gun, total weight about 35 tons, strong maneuverability in high altitudes, equipped with advanced hunter-killer system, adapted to mountainous and water network terrain!】

...【Research Project Name: "Fire Dragon" Tactical Missile Launcher Vehicle】

【Difficulty Assessment: B】

【Task Progress: 100%】

【Task Reward: 2000 Research Points】

【Equipment Description: Carries Fire Dragon series tactical ballistic missiles, range 180-600 km, precise strike of deep targets!】

...【Research Project Name: Type 79 Heavy Mechanized Bridge】

【Difficulty Assessment: D】

【...】

In these few months, Army equipment showed an explosive development.

And it was not only limited to the development of high-precision and cutting-edge weapons and equipment; auxiliary and logistics equipment also developed simultaneously.

For example, the Type 79 Heavy Mechanized Bridge developed by the 532 Machinery Factory could erect a 50-meter bridge in 30 minutes, carrying 60 tons, supporting the passage of heavy combined arms brigades.

In addition, there was also the Armored Engineering Vehicle developed by the Chang'an Machinery Manufacturing Branch, which integrated a bulldozer blade + hydraulic breaker, accompanying tanks to clear the way.

Some of these military industrial units were acquired by Changhe Weaponry Industrial General Factory, while others themselves had incredibly deep research and development foundations.

After Changhe Weaponry Industrial General Factory drove the development of the national military industrial chain and overcame many technical and material challenges, some military factories independently developed chemical reconnaissance vehicles.

They could detect nuclear, biological, and chemical contamination, and were equipped with a spray system for rapid decontamination of personnel and equipment exposed to nuclear contamination.

Of course, this also included equipment developed by the Changhe Automobile Manufacturing Branch, such as a heavy transport vehicle with a 40-ton payload, used for transporting missiles and artillery for military logistics!

And a field kitchen vehicle that could supply hot meals for 800 people in 1 hour!

As well as a combined short-range missile + 25mm autocannon field air defense system!

After Peng Lin overcame a series of the most difficult technical problems, the military industrial workers of the Dragon Kingdom also began to continuously develop these technologies horizontally, deepening them and developing various new types of weapons and equipment!

"The foundation of the Army has been laid!"

Peng Lin felt very gratified as he reviewed these documents.

Institutionally, the Army had begun comprehensive composite development, and even Army military academies were re-establishing training systems to cultivate modern new officers adapted to military development.

And within the military industrial system, a large number of scientific research and technical talents cultivated by Peng Lin at the Changhe Factory also began to take up the mantle, developing a series of new weapons and equipment.

It was late into the night when Peng Lin finally finished reviewing all the backlog of documents.

Perhaps it was because the Army's immense success in military development and military industrial system construction excited Peng Lin, leaving him sleepless.

Subsequently, Peng Lin began writing to Director Gu of the Changhe Weaponry Industrial General Factory to discuss matters related to acquiring several aircraft manufacturing plants.

Since Peng Lin had taken on key tasks such as the J-10 fighter jet's aero-engine, avionics system, and weapon system, he naturally had to make plans and preparations in advance.

After finishing all of this, Peng Lin then began designing the satellite design scheme for the "Beidou System."

Under the desk lamp.

Peng Lin's desk was covered with blueprints.

The pencil in his hand quickly sketched on the satellite orbit parameter table, and he gazed at the 3D simulation of the Beidou constellation on the computer screen.

On it, satellite nodes in geostationary orbit and inclined geosynchronous orbit twinkled on the screen like stars.

Outside the window, the night was deep, and the coffee had long grown cold, but Peng Lin's mind was exceptionally clear.

He repeatedly deliberated the data transmission protocols of the inter-satellite links, and the stability curve of the atomic clock was highlighted with a red pen.

Peng Lin occasionally grabbed a calculator to verify orbital correction values, and at times his pen tip drew sharp broken lines on the draft paper, verifying the key formulas of dual-satellite positioning technology.

When the wall clock pointed to three in the morning, he finally completed the magnificent design for the Beidou system's network coverage of the Asia-Pacific region!
