If it is about helmet sights, it is worth a look.

Thinking of this, Long Yun's heart moved. After a brief sense of scrutiny, he knew that Selov was talking about this. So he nodded happily: "Okay, let's take a look, maybe we can give some suggestions?"

"That's great! Please get in the car, comrade Lieutenant Colonel."

The silver-gray sedan was speeding on the road, and Long Yun's trip to Moscow was indeed quite busy.

In the heart of the Soviet Union, there are so many institutions that need to contact him as an ace pilot. This has also gained a lot of useful information while making Long Yun rush to deal with it.

However, if we talk about this information, will it be useful for him to solve his own mystery? He is not sure yet.

Sitting in a relatively comfortable Volga sedan, he drove away from the city along the street. Along the way, Long Yun noticed that there were actually other vehicles tracking and protecting the car he was riding in secret. This type of security measure really made him a little flattered.

Since I came to Moscow, I have been dealing with the KGB constantly. Is that true?

These agents are really everywhere; but thinking about this is a war period, there is nothing strange about it.

"Then, I'll talk about the fighter jet first."

Without Selov's question, Long Yun spoke first. He really wanted to say something about Mi G-29's improvement.

However, before he spoke, he had repeatedly considered what he could say and what he could not say with his identity and experiences he had traveled through time. This must be carefully weighed. Otherwise, if he guided these technicians casually, what he said would not only be impossible to achieve in the existing technical level, but also easily aroused their suspicion.

"About MiG-29, some of my experience in using this fighter, this fighter is still quite good, so I won't talk about the advantages for the time being. If you talk about the disadvantages, then one is that the range is not enough, and the other is that the process of missile launching is too complicated."

Shelov, who listened carefully, signaled to him slowly, and even held a small notebook to record. It seemed that they did regard Long Yun as the best new feedbacker.

"First of all, it's the range. I remember that if the MiG-29 is filled with fuel, it can fly about 2,000 kilometers. If it comes with the secondary fuel tank on the midline of the aircraft, it can also fly further. However, during air combat, not only can you not carry the secondary fuel tank (need to be abandoned) but also need to start after more force. At this time, the fuel consumption is very strong, and the fighter will be out of fuel in a few minutes."

"Well, this is indeed."

Selov nodded, as if he was a little helpless about this.

"If the fighter itself can carry more fuel, even if it is a few hundred liters, I may have more results in several air battles. - Oh, of course, this is also related to the loading of the missile, but I heard that the latest factory-made G-29 hanger has been adjusted, right?"

"Yes, now two pyramids have been added to the innermost side of the wing, and at least two more missiles can be brought."

"To achieve this, I suggest that in some batches, the auxiliary air intake on the edge wings are removed and the space is used to place the overall mailbox. This way, adding hundreds of liters of oil can be said to be quite easy. What do you think?"

"——Ah!" Selov was obviously very interested in this idea. "Mikhail also has such considerations. So, will remove the auxiliary air intake affect the ability to resist gravel and debris during take-off and landing? This still needs to be investigated. What are your experiences?"

"As far as I use it, there is no big problem. So you can think about this plan carefully, and it is not complicated."

As he said this, Long Yun licked his lips a little embarrassedly.

Of course, he would not tell Serov in front of him that he was predicting the future; this was nothing more than spoiling the MiG Design Bureau's plan in the real world to them in advance. As for the pros and cons of doing this and the air intake miscellaneous matters, he was 100% sure: the MiG Design Bureau's improvements have been everywhere in the real world, and he is still very clear about this.

After talking about the first question, Long Yun described his limitations on missile launch during the battle and put forward some suggestions for improvement.

"The MiG-29 aircraft is good, but to be honest, I don't think the integration of the fire control system is ideal. It takes so many buttons to launch a missile, and sometimes you miss the opportunity."

Selov seemed to have the same feeling and complained about Long Yun.

"This system is done by supporting research institutes, and what ergonomics does is not very good. We also wanted to improve it before!"

"If it is to be changed," Long Yun tried hard to recall the improvement ideas of the MiG aircraft in reality. "At least, the missile's reversible launch preparation can be integrated. This should not be difficult. Add a module to the original system and be responsible for launch preparations."

Hearing such easy-to-understand words, Selov showed a rather embarrassed look; Long Yun was a little surprised at first, and then he peeked into the consciousness opposite and realized the problem.

This setting has exceeded the current integration capabilities of the Soviet Union's airborne equipment.

No? Long Yun shook his head in surprise, which caused Selov's surprise. Then he reacted and explained more: "In fact, this automatic control system is not difficult, it does not require logical circuits, only a few delays are needed."

"Is that right?... However, the various preparation processes of missiles require the camera to move. If you follow the automatic program and follow it step by step, the compatibility will also become worse; and once the button is pressed, it cannot be cancelled."

"Oh, yes, what you said makes sense." Long Yun nodded, and then showed an unanimous expression. "But the question is, how many times do you think Mi G-29 will update the missile weapon system in such a fierce battle?"

"this……"

Reminded by the lieutenant colonel's words, Selov thought for a while, then nodded in contemplation.

Yes, under such a world war situation, it is no longer possible to fight to the death as long as it was during World War II.

Instead of considering irrelevant weapon compatibility, it is better to build a fighter into a war weapon that is fast, easy and efficient. Although it will cause the problem of difficulty in updating the weapon system, what can be done in such a fierce war?

Thinking of this, he began to record his previous ideas in his notebook and asked Long Yun some details from time to time. Originally, this kind of optimization of ergonomic engineering required a large amount of usage data, but now with such ace pilot, he could obtain very authoritative first-hand information.

In this way, the two of them discussed and designed the design. When they were almost at MiG Design Bureau, Long Yun felt that Selov had basically understood his ideas. It should not be too difficult to install modules on the fighter fire control system when going back.

When I came to the Moscow Research Center of MiG Design Bureau, I walked through the huge building complex to the spacious first-floor laboratory. The technician who came to me said a few words to Selov, and then began to explain to Longyun the concept and use of this equipment.

While listening carefully, Long Yun unconsciously compared the solution with the helmet aiming technology in the real world.

Compared with the fairly mature equipment in reality, the MiGi's solution is undoubtedly relatively primitive. For example, the range-finding head aiming equipment commonly used on modern fighter jets can even directly complete fire control calculations with airborne computers, which is one step faster than using a helmet command radar and EOS to discover targets; but Long Yun naturally knows that this technology is still somewhat impractical to the current level of Soviet avionics.

So he suppressed the idea of ​​introducing this idea and listened carefully to the use of the head-sighting device.

"...Well, if you confirm that you see the target, just press this button, and the radar or eOS (infrared search system) will point to the direction you are staring. At this time, if you stare smoothly for a moment, you will have a certain probability of intercepting the target. - Do you think of a missile? Use the missile's infrared seeker to intercept the target. This is of course possible in theory, but the supporting circuit has not yet completed the test. Our plan..."

Well, I have probably heard it once, and Long Yun thinks this system is theoretically feasible and the effect should be very good. However, he also put forward some of his own suggestions:

"That's right. I think this solution is currently adding a "helmet" mode to fire control; this is still not automated enough in combat. If it can be achieved, can it be set to the pilot press the "track" button and the computer will automatically switch to the working mode?"

"Ah—it makes sense, but there are still some problems to implement, and we are trying to solve it."

"Then, we will improve the next test work as soon as possible."

Hearing the feedback from the technicians, Long Yun nodded and looked at it curiously in front of the simulated cockpit in the test hall. Although there is no need to wear anti-load suits on such a simulator, the feeling of entering the cockpit should be quite similar to driving an airplane.

I really wanted to sit in and experience the feeling of a virtual experiment, but due to the subsequent arrangements, he had to give up.

However, at this time, Long Yun also thought that he might not have much use for equipment such as helmet sights: because his vision is very good in reality and during travel, and he can even use his naked eyes to discover enemy aircraft ten kilometers away. At this time, the time is quite abundant, even without a helmet sight, he can calmly command the fire control system to capture the target.

This is the case at a long distance, and what about the thrilling melee battle?

When he reached the front line of life and death, Long Yun's reaction was faster than the fire control system; before, he didn't like the automatic calculation of the hit probability created by the fire control system to save missiles, and if it fails to reach the probability, it will not be allowed to be launched - because his observation and intuition of the target can already accurately estimate the hit probability!

As the saying goes, the plane cannot be lost. Long Yun prefers to launch missiles after confirming that it can hit, and let the seeker turn on the plane and lock the target. In the ever-changing air battle, whoever can farm and catch the fighter can win, can be said to be clearer than anyone else.

After seeing the helmet sight, Long Yun and Selov had lunch at the Design Bureau restaurant, and the two chatted for a while.
Chapter completed!
