Chapter 12: Simonov

After receiving an order from his superiors, Kuoridub asked the ground crew to clean up the room, and also asked the canteen to prepare dinner. He was going to invite the technicians of Factory 126 to eat, sleep, and refresh their spirits. He would work again tomorrow. Have a welcome speech ready.

Who knows, these people didn't even enter the base headquarters, and went straight to the EP-3!

So, the depressed Kuoridub could only come out of the headquarters, sit in the open-top Gaz off-road vehicle, and head towards the end of the runway. In the back seat of the car, Andre was still in a state of excitement. .

Originally, there was no need for Andre to go along to meet the technicians of Factory 126, but Andre really wanted to see how the Ep-3 was disassembled into eight pieces, disassembled and studied, and applied for it next to him. Dub agreed.

When they drove to the side of the EP-3 reconnaissance plane, the technicians had already stepped on the plane. From the narrow doorway, they followed Kozhdubu and walked in. Andrei felt that the commander of the base in front of him seemed to be Somewhat excited.

"Comrade Simonov, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am the commander of this base, Kozhdubu." Kozhdubu's face was full of smiles, and he extended his hand to the person in front of him.

This is a technician who is less than fifty years old, a little fat, and has high cheekbones. He stretched out his hand and held Kuoridub's hand: "Commander Kuoridub, thank you very much for the comrades of the 523rd regiment. , so that we have access to the advanced electronic technology of the West, which has made outstanding contributions to our technological progress."

It's no wonder that the superiors didn't blame the incident, but were very happy, and even gave him a third-class credit. It turns out that this plane has helped us so much! Kuozhidubu immediately understood.

Simonov! Seeing that this old guy should be the team leader this time, Andrei behind him was instantly excited. The person in front of him was Mikhail Petrovich Simonov, the father of Su-27!

Simonov's resume is also quite rich. He graduated from the Novocherkassk Polytechnic Institute and then went to the Kazan Aviation Institute in the Urals. In 1953, he and his classmates from Kazan Aeronautical Institute set up the College Student Design Bureau to design and build a world-leading all-metal structure. This design bureau eventually became the National Design Bureau.

In 1970, Simonov accepted the leadership of Pavel-Osipovich-Sukhoi and entered the famous Sukhoi Design Bureau in the whole Soviet Union. He was highly regarded by Sukhoi and presided over the Su- 24 fighter-bomber development work. During the development, he overcame a lot of difficulties and completed the final shape, which made Sukhoi very satisfied. After that, he participated in the collection and arrangement of the F-15 data by the Sukhoi Design Bureau, and then determined the suitable Soviet Union. The mission of the new generation of fighters.

The prototype of the Su-27, the T-10 verification machine, has been designed since 1969. Unfortunately, in 1975, the weather-beaten Pavel Osipovich Sukhoi died, and the design work of the T-10, The former first deputy chief designer Ivanov took over. A few years later, the chief designer became the current Andrei Simonov. It was almost overwhelmed, and the Su-27 fighter with performance completely overwhelmed the F-15!

Last year, Sukhoi passed away, and Simonov, who was in front of him, became the chief designer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau. This time he led a team to Komsomolsk to inspect and guide the improvement work of Factory 126. When the news arrived, Sokolovka came.

While the prototype of the T-10 was still being designed, preparations for mass production of the fighter began. The new fighter was very different in structure and craftsmanship from the Su-17 that is now being produced in the factory. Simonov came here to help Factory 126 made improvements to meet the technological and technical conditions required for the production of new aircraft. So that the new aircraft can be put into mass production quickly after it has been finalized.

The most advanced electronic reconnaissance aircraft in the West! By studying this reconnaissance aircraft, the Soviet Union's electronic technology can be advanced for ten years! After all, the Soviets are burying their heads in development, going their own way, but have no reference.

This electronic reconnaissance aircraft of the United States must have the most advanced electronic technology in the United States, and the gap in electronic technology is indeed not small in the Soviet Union.

Seeing that the commanders of the Sokolovka base had come to welcome them, Simonov just shook hands and talked a few words. At this time, he also noticed that there was a tall man behind Kozhdubu. The man with piercing eyes, with just one glance, Simonov knew it must be a pilot.

At this time, the pilot was looking at Simonov with adoring eyes. Simonov smiled. In the Soviet Union, soldiers and technicians are all respected, especially people like Simonov who walk in The most cutting-edge chief designer of Soviet aviation technology is even more admired.

"Why are all transistors?" In this short period of time, the technicians were still working on dismantling the internal equipment. When the screws on the console were removed and the circuit board inside was exposed, a technician Suddenly exclaimed. UU Reading

"That black pimple, how come there are so many leads, is it an integrated circuit?"

"Why don't you see the tube?"

Originally, they planned to disassemble the circuit, look at the specific composition inside, try to map it out as soon as possible, and determine the operation mode of these detection equipment. However, when they disassembled it, they found that it was different from what they thought. It was not a tube of various glass bubbles, but a transistor and an integrated circuit! Especially for integrated circuits, it is difficult to analyze the circuit structure and imitate without knowing the internal structure.

The electronic tube is made according to the thermionic effect discovered by Edison. In the evacuated glass bubble, electronic diodes and triodes are produced, which have the function of gate and amplification, and form various complex electronic circuits.

After that, Americans invented crystal diodes and triodes in Bell Labs in 1948, which were made of semiconductor materials, with low power consumption, small size, and low failure rate. In 1958, they were made into integrated circuits. The circuit combines many diodes and triodes together to make a chip, which further reduces the volume and the failure rate.

It is now 76 years, and Americans have been very fast in the application of transistors and integrated circuits, and there are also a wide range of applications in the military field. However, the Soviet Union has always been unfamiliar with transistors and integrated circuits, they only love electron tubes.

"What do Americans think? Once a nuclear war occurs, these transistors and integrated circuits will be broken down by violent electromagnetic radiation." A technician began to worry for the Americans.

"The American way is right." At this moment, a voice came from behind.
