The Sixth Chapter of Ten Days of Chaos

  Three new types of aircraft, decided by Bai Qi's decisive board, have a huge advantage over the main fighter planes, bombers and attack planes of various countries. Compared to Britain's "Spitfire", "Hurricane" and "Mosquito" and "Lancaster", America's P40, P51, B17, Soviet Union's La-7, La-3, etc., they cannot pose a threat to the several types of aircraft that Germany is about to deploy.

  The on-board weapons of the Bf 109, Fw 190 and Go 229 were also newly designed; as a fighter, the Bf 109 was equipped with two 30mm cannons.

  In addition, to aid his home country of China, Wei Qi is preparing to manufacture a gigantic transport aircraft with an astonishing carrying capacity, named the "Yongke Big Mama". This plane is essentially a massive flying wing, with a wingspan of 120 meters and a length of 70 meters. It has five cargo holds and can carry a total of 160 tons, with a range of 25,000 kilometers. The aircraft is powered by ten high-efficiency turbofan engines, which have low fuel consumption and great power, allowing the plane to take off with a total weight of 325 tons and reach speeds of up to 960 km/h. Wei Qi plans to manufacture seventy-five such planes. With this fleet of super-large transport aircraft, the German Air Force's weakness in strategic airlift capability will be greatly alleviated.

  The new BF 109 was renamed BF 109 HSX to distinguish it from the old model, as the new aircraft was completely redesigned from head to toe.

  The engine is a rotor-piston type, giving the new aircraft more powerful horsepower. However, under the supercharged compression, it bursts out with 750 kilowatts of power, and two sets of rotors combined together are 1500 kilowatts. Moreover, the engine body uses high-performance composite ceramic materials, which have perfect self-lubricating properties, eliminating the need for oil tanks, heat exchangers, cooling circulation systems, and lubrication systems. This saves space and reduces weight. This product, which surpasses Earth's technology, also brings surprises to pilots with a maintenance cycle of every 20,000 flight hours!

  The bf109HSX is equipped with six machine guns, and on either side of the engine are two 30mm machine guns with spiral propeller synchronizers. These cannons have an astonishing power, although the firing speed is not too fast, only 600 rounds per second. But with the help of advanced fire control systems, the accuracy is really terrifying! The shells weigh only 250g, but the explosive charge is as much as 50g! Moreover, it's high-energy plastic explosive, a type of explosive that didn't appear until the 25th century, and its power is six times that of ordinary explosives! You can imagine what would happen to any man-made machine in the sky if it were hit by such a shell! What's revolutionary about this new type of shell is that it's shell-less! This means that an aircraft carrying the same amount of ammunition can reduce its weight by almost half! It's a product of large-scale electric casting, and the massive Dongfanghong mechanical casting furnace can produce 100,000 shells at a time. The accuracy of the shells is extremely high, and their precision after firing is also unmatched! Its ballistic performance, storage capacity, and flight speed are all quite good. The only drawback is that using 30mm shells (equivalent to 50mm shells from other countries) to shoot down planes is a bit wasteful. So pilots found a more suitable use for it, because in the intense battles that followed, facing the Soviet army's tanks that covered the sky and earth, using it to hit the top of the tank was really useful!

  The remaining four guns are 20mm caliber. Although the caliber is small, the range is almost the same as that of the 30 gun. The 20 gun shells weigh only 70 grams, with a charge of 15 grams and a relatively large charge coefficient. It is also a shell-less bullet, and the aircraft carries enough ammunition for this type of bullet, four guns, each with 1200 rounds! With air defense as its main task and air combat as its primary job, the bf109HSX mainly uses the 20 gun to attack the enemy, and can reach an effective killing distance of 2000 meters with the help of cannon sighting radar. Accurate weapons, powerful ammunition, and strong fire control are enough for the bf109HSX to dominate the sky! The abundant ammunition is sufficient to guarantee continuous consumption in combat, allowing it to stay in the battlefield for a long time.

  External stores other than gun pods mainly include 5mm, 10mm, machine gun pods. 20mm, 50mm, 100mm, 300mm rocket launchers.

  The 300mm rocket shells were mainly designed and manufactured to attack fortified fortifications, which can be used to deal with the Russian army's earthworks and the Caucasus' fortified areas!

  Such a powerful weapon system must be well managed, so there is an efficient fire control. Because in this era there are no missiles, everyone is fighting with cannons. So the gun radar seems too idle, and now Sharon urges electronic experts to modify the software to add three new functions to the radar.

  First is reconnaissance capability, enemy detection first, enemy firing first. Air search 30 kilometers, ground search 20 kilometers.

  Two is ground feedback capability, which facilitates low-altitude air defense penetration, 100-meter terrain-following flight, utilizing the enemy's radar blind zone to achieve sudden strikes.

  Three is the ability to distinguish between friend and foe, and under no circumstances should we mistakenly harm our own people. The lessons of the Gulf War must be remembered.

  Pilots are not invincible, they can also get hurt. A pilot is just one person and he's not a god. Even with radar assistance, it's impossible to observe all directions at once. Humans will always make mistakes. However, pilots are treasures, they are high-quality human resources, cultivating an excellent pilot is much more difficult than building an airplane, so we must think of ways to protect the pilot, ensuring his safety is paramount. Pilots are too valuable! Therefore, the armor on the plane must be reliable.

  Initially, the director of aircraft manufacturing, Sharon, proposed a plan to use carbon fiber composite materials as the main body material and titanium alloy as the important armor. After Bai Qi found out, he instructed to make a small modification, in his opinion, although carbon fiber is light and sturdy, its anti-ballistic performance was slightly inferior. He suggested using a more expensive lightweight anti-ballistic material, a high-performance composite material used for protective gear in space era - Tian Chao Ice Silk with rigid carbon fiber, to manufacture the BF109HSX's shell.

  Using the anti-ballistic hard Tian Chao Ice Silk to create a bathtub-like structure to protect the pilot, both the pilot and the important parts of the plane received focused protection. The Russian-made 23mm machine gun cannot penetrate any part of the plane, in this era, any machine gun below 30mm poses no threat to the BF109HSX!
