Chapter 169: Eagle Sauce Countermeasures; The photolithography machine arrives and starts copying! (Two in one!)
Millions of military fans are staring at the screen with extremely eager eyes.

There are also many people holding recording software or cameras, fearing that they will miss any wonderful scenes due to distraction.

After the host's brief opening remarks, the scene suddenly changed.

A silver-gray fighter jet suddenly appeared in front of everyone, with a flat surface, extremely simple aerodynamic layout settings, and angular tail and wing features.

You don't need to guess too much, just from its appearance you can tell that it is a 'true' fifth-generation fighter.

Crawling quietly on the ground, it looks like an eagle ready to soar into the sky at any time, or as if it is about to burst out of the TV screen at any time, giving people an extreme sense of power.

The host looked at the fighter jet which could only be described as 'magnificent'. Standing next to it, his own 1.8-meter height seemed so small, and he was barely taller than its landing gear.

He took a deep breath to calm his excitement, then took the microphone and introduced to the camera: "This is our guest of this episode, the J-22!"

"At the same time, it is also an improved version of the J-20 fighter jet... You can see that there are many similarities in terms of layout."

"In addition to increasing lift, the canard type has great advantages in climbing at high angles of attack and turning at a small radius."

"But it also adjusts the tail layout to make air control smoother and increase instantaneous maneuvering feedback."

"."

When the host starts reading the script he has memorized in advance, it is because of its advantages and highlights.

Some "sensitive" secrets were simply skipped over.

The military fans in front of the TV obviously didn't care what these "characteristics" he was talking about were.

These analyses have already become "known to everyone" not long after the pictures of the "J-22" were exposed in the forum yesterday.

The "experts" in the forums and group chats even conducted detailed analysis and constructed data modeling to demonstrate that the aerodynamic layout of this fighter named "J-22" has been clearly understood in terms of its improvements over the F22 and J-20.

So they need the host to introduce them? Isn't that the opposite of what Tian Gang is!

However, what these military fans are more concerned about at the moment are some other "eye-catching" things on this "J-22".

now.

In the QQ group chat where Zhang Wei was, there were thousands of people and hundreds of messages were refreshed almost every moment.

"Why does this J-22 look more and more like an F22 fighter, but it also has the characteristics of a J-20? Am I seeing things?"

"I also want to know whether this is a mistake made by the J-20 accidentally, or the result of the F22's pregnancy."

"Please don't make me laugh to death. I am still strong and healthy. How can I not be able to do it?"

"It's a pity that we can only see the exterior layout, not the avionics and other things."

Although the fifth-generation aircraft have similar aerodynamic layouts for the sake of stealth performance, they are too "similar".

Therefore, the first reaction of these military fans when they saw the appearance was that this fighter was a complete copy of the 'F20' fighter with canards and J-22 bloodline!

Who can believe that there is no connection between the two?
However, many people noticed something different, that is, the engine.

"This engine does not seem to be the AL-31F, but more like the engine on the F22."

"Really? The engine of this J-22 is similar to that of the F119?"

Although due to confidentiality, no images of avionics and other equipment can appear in this "Forefront of Military Equipment" program. Even the cockpit is directly covered with a black cloth, and the entire instrument panel in the cockpit cannot be "spied through".

However, the engine nozzle at the tail of the fighter is still clearly visible.

Almost everyone can see the obvious difference at a glance. This is not the same as the AL-20F engine that the J-31 was originally equipped with.

"Not only is the air intake layout similar, but even the convergent vanes of the nozzles are similar. It should also be a two-dimensional vector engine."

"Doesn't that mean that the performance of the J-22's engine is comparable to that of the Eagle Sauce's 'F119'?"

"I think it's very likely, otherwise there would be no need to set up this dual vector nozzle and air intake layout."

"Fuck, even if its performance is only slightly worse than the F119, it's still pretty awesome!"

The discussions among these military fans in the group became more and more heated, and they became more and more excited.

Just based on the exterior layout, if you say that Daxia didn't develop it with reference to the 'F119' engine, they would never believe it.

That means something extremely important!

'We in Daxia will soon have an aircraft engine with performance comparable to the 'F119'! '

"At the very least, the performance data of the two is close and the difference won't be too far."

Thinking of this, the entire QQ group chat was in an uproar, and the speed of refreshing the screen increased by several times.

This news is more worthy of joy for the majority of military fans than the exposure of the "J-22" fighter.

After all, the two are completely different concepts. One is progress, and the other is a breakthrough from zero to one.

The 'J-22' is only an improved version of Daxia's fifth-generation aircraft, but an 'aircraft engine' with world-class performance is something Daxia has been pursuing for decades, and it is also the eternal pain of the entire air force.

Otherwise, why did Daxia need to use the Russian engines when the J-20 and J-10 made their maiden flights, and why did it need to build fighter jets based on the wishes of others?

In the past, Daxia often needed to manufacture a large number of fighter jets, but the Russians did not have that many engines for sale. This was a torture that no one could bear.

But now that Daxia has an aviation engine whose performance is close to the "world's top level", this situation will be gone forever!
As for your question, this engine is very similar to the 'F119'?
All military fans will only answer with this sentence: "It feels so damn good to cross the river with the help of the Eagle Sauce!"

this moment.

Daxia's new fifth-generation fighter 'J-22' made its debut. This news caused quite a stir even on foreign websites, and was reprinted and reported by many media.

Many military enthusiasts have used aspects such as "aerodynamic layout" and "engine" to prove the similarities between the "J-22" and the "J-".

How big is the difference between its performance and the only fifth-generation fighter currently in mass production, the 'F22'?
For a time, the popularity of its search terms remained high.

At the same time, on the other side.

Inside the Pentagon Building.

Just like what the saying goes, "research and development" is like this. "Daxia" only needs to focus on research and development to produce the "J-22", while the Pentagon has a lot of things to consider.

For example, at this moment, Kimi Andrew, the director of global affairs security for the Eagle Sauce, has a lot to consider.

While waiting for the intelligence to be sent back, he drank cup after cup of coffee.

"Why are you so worried lately?"

Kimi Andrew rubbed his painful brow, his face full of helplessness: "There are riots all over the world, there is no moment of peace."

He hadn't slept the whole night and had two dark circles under his eyes.

I really can’t sleep, let alone fall asleep!
It's fine that there's chaos in the Middle East recently, but even South America has been quite noisy recently, which has already made the entire Pentagon very unhappy. Don't you know what 'too far from heaven, too close to Eagle Sauce' means?

At this time, Daxia’s recent technological breakthroughs are also coming one after another, and we must pay more attention to them.

This made him, as the head of global security affairs, feel like his brain was about to explode. He was like a firefighter, with people all over the world waiting for him to put out fires.

Suddenly, the assistant outside knocked on the door and walked in: "Sir, this is the latest intelligence sent back from Daxia."

"it is good."

Kimi Andrew nodded.

He took the document at a rapid speed and carefully reviewed the intelligence information sent back.

In an instant, his originally exhausted face became more energetic after being "frightened".

“How on earth did they develop it?”

Kimi Andrew's eyes widened in disbelief. "The same binary vector, even the jet tail pipes are so similar? Is this the aircraft engine independently developed by Daxia?"

Not only are they similar in appearance, but even their engines are benchmarked against their 'F119' dual vector engine.

This is not an improved version of the J-20 at all, it clearly looks like an improved version of the 'F22' fighter.

"What about our intelligence department?" Kimi Andrew glanced at the assistant next to him and said indignantly: "No information has been revealed about Daxia's 'J-22' or this aircraft engine."

"Even the intelligence given to me was wrong. What on earth are these people doing?"

In the various relevant information submitted to him every week, it was clearly stated that Daxia had not even made a breakthrough in WS-10B and was carrying out intensive secret research and development. It was optimistically estimated that it would take at least ten years before it could be put into service.

As for the WS-15 turbofan engine, it is speculated that it may not be developed until 2030. So what is this air defense engine similar to the 'F119'?
"Sir, its performance may not be that good." The assistant reminded very rationally: "This engine has no performance data test, and even the flight picture is not shown. This may be..."

"To use the 'Thirty-Six Stratagems' of Daxia... this could be the 'Empty City Strategy'!"

Hear the words.

Kimi Andrew's eyes lit up: "This is just their intention to bluff, so it is so similar to the 'F22' fighter."

"The purpose is to trick us?"

The more he spoke, the more it made sense to him. This was most likely Daxia's "strategy".

After all, who knows what the situation is like inside? Whether it has actual combat capabilities is probably unknown.

Maybe Daxia just modified the "shell" and "engine" of the fighter jet, making them mistakenly believe that Daxia had developed a new type of aircraft engine, thus causing some strategic misjudgments.

It is not unreasonable for Kimi Andrew to make such a guess. The Eagles are habitual offenders of this kind of thing. Every year, a huge amount of PTT is released, and falsification of equipment data is commonplace.

As for whether it can be developed? Whether the performance is accurate? That has nothing to do with the Pentagon!

But even so.

Kimi Andrew did not take it lightly.

His fingers kept tapping on the table. After staring at the report in his hand and thinking for a long time, he said, "Go contact the Defense Department office. We need to make a comprehensive plan."

Regardless of whether this "J-22" is an improved model or not, and whether it is playing the "empty city tactic" or not, the Eagle Sauce must fight back.

Otherwise, how can they maintain their position as the global leader?

Time flies and a few days go by in a flash.

only.

The discussion about the "J-22" has not died down, especially in the military fan forums in Daxia, where related content is ruthlessly "dominating the forums" every day.

Wednesday morning, around nine o'clock. In the small town of Livermore, inside the LLNL laboratory.

In that familiar position and on the exclusive sofa, the two people who had just come to work were lying lazily as usual.

Looking at the finished snacks on the table, Lu Ze sighed: "The side effects of this 'enhancement potion' seem to be a bit serious?"

There were only a few days left in his "hunger state" that had lasted for a month. Because he took enough protein, carbohydrates and vitamins every day, the current five-dimensional increase in strength of his body had reached over 19%, and the last 20% was just a matter of a few days.

But he discovered a terrible thing, his appetite didn't seem to have decreased much.

It seems that as his physical fitness has improved, the number of calories he needs to consume every day has also increased a lot.

Glancing at the little head nestled in his arms, Lu Ze secretly complained: "Will I become a foodie like Lucy?"

now.

Lucy seemed to sense the 'resentment' and looked around to see if anyone was saying anything bad about her.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something: "Lu Ze, where are we going to play next week?"

"We finally got a short vacation, how about going traveling this time?"

Next weekend will be September, and here in the United States we have one day off on the first Monday of September, which is the American version of "Labor Day", and we also only have one day off for holidays including Christmas.

If we include the two-day weekend holiday, LLNL laboratory generally has three days of holiday.

"How about we go to Los Angeles this time?" Lucy's eyes twinkled, "I want to go to Disneyland over there. I haven't been there for a long time."

She has long been tired of the various amusement parks in the Bay Area, so she might take advantage of this holiday to go to Los Angeles for some fun.

Hear the words.

"Then let's go." Lu Ze tidied her messy hair and said, "I also want to visit a big city like Los Angeles."

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, so I naturally want to see it all since I have finally come here.

What's more, in such a big city, there might be some good opportunities to copy some top-level technological items.

As if thinking of this, he glanced at the light curtain above his eyeballs.

[Number of copies: 1!] (Refreshed every Monday)

【Achievement points: 50000 points! 】

"Why hasn't it arrived yet?" Lu Ze was secretly anxious.

In fact, the number of copies had already been refreshed on Monday, but he had not made any copies.

After all, the lithography machine didn't seem to have been "delivered" yet, and he didn't even know where the target was. How could he copy the technological items?

That's when.

Lucy, who was standing next to him, whispered in Lu Ze's ear, "I heard that the lab seems to have just received some new gadgets, and they seem quite mysterious."

Lucy has always been the most interested in these new gadgets.

"What item?"

Lu Ze's heart skipped a beat and he guessed what it might be.

As expected, there is no need for me to take the initiative to speak, this little girl Lucy will bring up this matter directly.

If nothing unexpected happens, the "mysterious item" she mentioned should be the 32nm lithography machine.

“It seems to be a new top-level device.”

Lucy tilted her head, a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "It was just transported here this morning and is stored in the C-level area. Why don't we go take a look together? I can take you in."

At this point, she suddenly seemed to be stuck: "I forgot, now that you have been promoted to C-level employee, it seems that you have the authority to go."

Originally, Lucy wanted to use her authority to bring Lu Ze into the C-level area.

If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about.

"Let's go and see what that is."

Lucy stood up decisively, grabbed Lu Ze's hand and ran to an area on the right side of the main test building.

LLNL laboratory, inside the Class C area.

It’s not as large as a D-level area, nor is it an outrageous area of ​​several square kilometers.

But its area is not small, consisting of an eight-story building covering an area of ​​two to three thousand square meters and two large storage warehouses.

The building is mainly home to various laboratories and R&D departments, while the storage warehouse is where various equipment is stored, and the security here is obviously much higher than that of the D-level area.

After passing three security checks in a row, Lu Ze and Lucy successfully entered the C-level area.

After a while.

In dust-free storage area.

As soon as the two walked in, they saw a huge object as big as a small house placed in the very center.

The entire dust-free area is almost entirely filled with this device, so it is impossible not to notice it.

The four English letters 'AMSL' are printed on the outside, so you can tell what this device is without having to think about it.

"It's boring. I thought it was some new thing." Lucy curled her lips and said, "It turned out to be an AMSL lithography machine."

This kind of thing was not the first time she had seen it in the laboratory, and she had no interest in it at all.

It's not as interesting as the "music barbecue machine" that Lu Ze gave her last time. It can actually play the piano while barbecue. It's really fun!
“So, this is the photolithography machine.”

"For a 'cutting-edge technology' on this planet, it's surprisingly unpretentious."

Lu Ze stared at the device with a sigh in his voice.

This lithography machine seems to be only a few meters long and a few meters high. Compared with the giant equipment that weighs "tons of tons", it does not seem to be a "big guy".

But this thing really strangled Daxia's neck and made it difficult for him to breathe.

It took the combination of almost the entire Western world's top technologies to finally develop this kind of "super technology".

It is also a technological item that Lu Ze has always wanted to copy since he obtained the 'Copying System'.

Nowadays, although it is not an EUV lithography machine, a 32nm DUV lithography machine is also a good choice.

'It should be fine if it just touches the shell.'

"Just copy it and see." Lu Ze murmured.

The lithography machine in front of us does not have any additional protection and is currently in a closed and blocked state.

After all, its blades, lenses and other equipment are too "fragile" and will be damaged immediately if they are exposed to even a speck of dust.

As for Lucy, she had already approached the lithography machine and was curiously touching it with her hands.

Lu Ze also placed his hand on it and began to count down silently in his heart.

'543'

In an instant.

A highlighted subtitle immediately popped up on the light screen of his eyeballs.

[It is detected that the current technological items can be copied as a whole: DUV 'immersion' 32NM process lithography machine! ]

【Value achievement points: 100000 points.】

【Please select whether to copy! ? 】

"One hundred thousand achievement points? There are so many?" Lu Ze was delighted.

The generosity of the copying reward was far beyond his expectations.

After all, although the technology of a DUV lithography machine can be called "cutting-edge technology", its value is average and it is still a backward product. The EUV lithography machine has already been developed and is entering the formal mass production stage.

Like this 32nm DUV lithography machine, the selling price of AMSL is about million US dollars.

The Patriot air defense system costs more than one billion U.S. dollars, not to mention the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship that previously cost billions of dollars.

The reward of 100,000 achievement points was probably due to the system's huge extra "technical" increase. Otherwise, according to Lu Ze's original estimate, it would probably only be 30,000 to 40,000 achievement points.

"This DUV32NM lithography machine is worth 10 achievement points. How much would an EUV lithography machine cost?" Lu Ze thought, stroking his chin.

Like the EUV lithography machines of later generations that can easily reach 2-3NM, shouldn’t they be rewarded with millions of achievement points?

Won’t there be even more scientific and technological awards in more than ten years?

'It is expected that over time, the achievement point rewards of these products will decay.'

"The system cannot have such an obvious bug." Lu Ze shook his head.

After all, today, Apple's 3GS smartphone is considered top-notch technology, but ten years from now, even scrap metal won't want it.

The rewards will certainly decrease accordingly over time.

These thoughts flashed through my mind quickly.

Lu Ze shook his head twice. The most urgent task at the moment was to copy this lithography machine.

"Copy it!" Lu Ze said silently without hesitation.

[Current technology item: 'DUV' immersion '32NM process lithography machine' has been copied successfully! ]

[Reward: 100000 achievement points, a complete set of 32NM process lithography machine technology design drawings and entities (already stored in the inventory). ]

[System space inventory: 32NM process lithography machine, Wasp-class amphibious assault ship * 2'Doll (charging completed)']
