Chapter 305 Why didn’t you say it earlier?
Chapter 305 Why didn’t you say it earlier?
Kang Chi’s words were a bit half true and half false, and they immediately stunned all the pilots present.
In fact, it can’t be said to be false, but it was a little “alarmist”.
For example, the enemy was lying in the simulation cabin, and they were shot down like playing games and killing NPCs…
This was completely to scare them.
At present, it is estimated that only he dared to position the drone so high and so important, and it can even be said that he was dragging the country to gamble on a major strategic direction in the future.
Even if others wanted to do this, they haven’t lit up the pre-tech tree. This technology tree can be quantum communication or strong artificial intelligence, representing two completely different development directions.
If one of these two is not lit up, forcibly developing unmanned equipment is a dead end.
As for being eliminated…
In fact, it is basically impossible.
Fighter pilots are national treasures for a country.
Just to select a candidate, you need to pick one out of millions, and then you have to spend a lot of money and material resources to train them.
For example, it costs 10 million to train a J-20 pilot.
According to statistics, it costs about 4 million to train a J-10 fighter pilot, and 6 million to train a pilot who can fly the H-6K strategic bomber.
As for more advanced fighter pilots like the J-20, the training cost alone exceeds 10 million.
After all, the cost of flying for one hour is 250,000.
If you are not a big country, you really can’t afford it.
But even though China has been vigorously training fighter pilots, there are only 15,000 pilots who have combat literacy and can play the normal performance of fighter jets.
And the data for M country is 80,000.
The gap between the two sides is still quite large.
But if the performance and quantity of the aircraft were not too different, in the process of fighting for air supremacy, what was actually fought was not the speed and potential of aircraft manufacturing.
It was the number of pilots in reserve.
The Battle of Britain and the Pacific War are living examples.
In the early and middle stages of the war, the experienced pilots were almost exhausted, and those who carried out suicide attacks in the later period were basically inexperienced recruits.
Later, even the recruits who could fly the planes were gone, and they could only watch the old M’s bombers swaggering into the sky, dropping atomic bombs and hitting GG.
Although the unmanned warfare vigorously developed by Kang Chi can indeed greatly solve the problem of pilot selection and reserve, it is impossible to immediately let the current fighters and pilots eat dust.
After all, they are all valuable fighters. Now it is just their own equipment that needs to be updated, not the enemy’s equipment, which makes them useless.
No matter what, they should be able to hold out for a few more years before being truly eliminated.
At least before unmanned fighters are mass-produced, they are still the backbone.
It is estimated that they have thought this through clearly. Not long after being intimidated by Kang Chi, these pilots gradually came to their senses.
”Sorry, I still insist on quitting.”
Chen Han still chose to quit with courage, and then stood up and left the meeting room under everyone’s gaze.
Chen Han was actually sweating, fearing that he would be called suddenly.
But not only did Kang Chi not speak to stop them, Zheng Xiangbo did not speak either.
After all, it was Kang Chi who said it himself, letting them choose to stay or leave.
So the moment he walked out of the meeting room, Chen Han immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly quickened his pace to quickly escape from this meeting room that made him feel a little scared.
With the first one, there will be the second one.
Most of the twelve pilots left soon. These people ran faster than each other and soon caught up with Chen Han.
”Oh my god, it’s a good thing you let us go…”
”Yeah, I was scared to death just now. I almost thought I couldn’t touch my beloved fighter plane anymore.”
”Do you think we will be punished if we just run away like this?”
”However, being punished is more terrible than not being able to fly a fighter plane?”
”That’s true…”
”But if what Mr. Kang said is true, and traditional fighter planes are really going to be eliminated, won’t we also be unable to touch them?”
”That’s a matter for the future. Anyway, the J-20 will not be retired. II won’t get off the plane! And even if that time really comes, will the country still let us sweep the floor?”
”What do you think we can do then?”
”I guess they will still let us be instructors, training internet-addicted teenagers who can fly remote-controlled fighters… or fly transport planes or something like that.”
”And astronauts, we will definitely be useful in the future when we develop into outer space!”
”…”
…
In the conference room, Kang Chi looked at the three pilots who had not left, and he couldn’t help but feel a little relieved.
He was not afraid of people running away, but afraid of all running away.
”You three, aren’t you going to leave?”
”Report, I want to ask a question.”
”Well, you say.”
”Is the unmanned fighter you are talking about a sixth-generation aircraft? Can its performance really crush the fifth-generation fighter? ”
”You should know that there is no specific definition of the sixth-generation aircraft so far, so I can’t classify it as a generation. This can only be judged by the world, but I can guarantee that it can definitely crush the fifth-generation aircraft!”
”Understood, then I am willing to join Dr. Kang’s plan.”
”I will join too!”
”Me too.”
The remaining three people expressed their opinions, which made Kang Chi completely relieved.
It seems that what he just said is more or less useful.
And those who can really listen to these words are definitely those who have a very big picture and foresight, and have the most sincere expectations for the country’s strength.
This expectation allows them to even abandon their personal emotions without hesitation when facing this slightly difficult choice.
”Welcome, and thank you for your support.” Kang Chi nodded to them to express his gratitude and continued, “I don’t know your names yet, let me introduce myself first. “Report, my name is Yang Neng, Lieutenant Colonel of the Air Force, Captain of the Second Squadron of the Eagle Flying Brigade, and a national first-class pilot.” “Report, my name is Guan Zhiye, Major of the Air Force, a member of the Second Squadron of the Eagle Flying Brigade, and a national second-class pilot.” “Report, my name is Liao Yuan, Captain of the Air Force, a member of the Third Squadron of the Eagle Flying Brigade, and a national second-class pilot.” After listening, Kang Chi directly took out the authorization document given to him by the military. “Congratulations, from today on, your military rank will be promoted by one level, and you will serve as pilot instructors of the Pingfengshan Long-range Combat Center in the future, responsible for cooperating with me to complete the testing of unmanned flight equipment, the formation of three unmanned fighter flight brigades, and the training of team members. ”
The three people were stunned after hearing this.
Just accepting an invitation for a test plan, he was promoted to a higher rank? And became the captain of a flight squadron? There was such a good thing, but why didn’t you tell me earlier? (End of this chapter)
