Chapter 342 How about replacing the anti-radiation seeker with an early warning aircraft?
“Come, let’s have a drink, let’s all warm up.” In the office of the shooting range, Mr. Lin opened the bottle of wine, and suddenly the whole room was filled with the aroma of wine.
This winter, the cold wind has been blowing outside for a long time, and everyone is frozen.
Mr. Lin raised his arm, blew on the wine bottle a few times, and then handed the bottle to Wu Shengli who was standing aside.
Wu Shengli glanced at it and said, "Maotai, the wine is so good. I'll take a few more sips."
After Wu Shengli finished drinking, he handed the bottle to Mr. Wu who was standing aside.
Mr. Wu took it and was very excited: "Actually, the doctor no longer allows me to drink, but at such an important moment, I have to take a few sips!"
After speaking, he also raised the wine bottle and blew a few puffs into the bottle.
When the wine bottles were transferred to Qin Tao, he looked at the bottom of the only remaining bottle: "Didn't you just say drink some wine to warm your body? Why are you all like drunkards, blowing all the time?"
“I’m so happy!” Mr. Wu said with emotion: “Today’s test launch was successful. Our Red Flag-9 missile can finally be finalized! We have been working on the project for more than ten years, and today we can finally explain it to the motherland and the people!”
More than ten years ago, Mr. Wu was appointed as the chief designer of the third-generation regional air defense missile. At that time, he was uneasy because he knew it was a difficult task. Similar weapon systems were only the S-300 of the Red Empire and the United States. Patriot missile system, nothing else!
Our own Red Flag Nine is the third similar system, and this project was completed several years earlier than the other two systems! How could this not make Mr. Wu excited?
"Yes, today, this project is finally finalized, and our air force can also use its own anti-aircraft missile system." Mr. Lin said: "This is a proud moment. Here, we just moisten our throats first and wait until After we go back, let’s have a good drink!”
This No. 9 project, like the No. 10 project, is a national key project. I don’t know how many departments and units have been working hard for this project for more than ten years. Thinking about it, it makes people sigh.
"This is just the first step in a long march of thousands of miles." Qin Tao said with emotion: "We have only solved the problem of whether or not. In the future, we still need to continue to solve one problem after another to make this weapon system have more powerful performance. .”
"Yes, of course we know that this weapon has major flaws. In the future, we will continue to work hard to improve it and make it have stronger performance." Mr. Wu said: "The next focus of research and development is to intercept ballistics. Missile, by the way, Mr. Qin, do you have any new suggestions?"
As far as Mr. Wu and others are concerned, intercepting ballistic missiles is the next goal. However, Qin Tao has always been forward-looking, so Qin Tao may suggest more and better directions for them.
“At present, it shouldn’t be difficult to modify the seeker of our missile, right?” Qin Tao asked.
Mr. Wu nodded: "Yes, we have gone through the entire process of research and development. Even if we want to use a new guidance head, it is not difficult. However, we believe that the current guidance method is the best."
“Can it be changed to an anti-radiation seeker?”
"Anti-radiation? Generally, anti-radiation is for air-to-surface missiles!" A technician said: "Why do our surface-to-air missiles need anti-radiation?"
"Fire an early warning aircraft!" Qin Tao said: "The range of your next model will definitely be closer to two hundred kilometers. This range is enough. If we poke it somewhere on the southeast coast, we can directly hit the sky on the opposite side. On board the mid-flight early warning aircraft."
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
As expected, Mr. Qin’s thinking is broad. The surface-to-air anti-radiation missile is definitely the only one in the world. However, if this thing is built, it will definitely be very powerful. When needed, it will be a sharp weapon!
“Yes, Tao Zi is right, let’s come up with an innovation, ground to air, airborne early warning aircraft!”
Although current anti-aircraft missiles can also fight early warning aircraft, if the anti-aircraft missiles are to be fired, the radar must be turned on and guidance must be provided for the missiles, which will easily expose themselves. What about anti-radiation missiles? As long as the initial stage of radio command guidance is carried out, or the flight is preset, when the seeker receives the radar wave of the early warning aircraft, it can directly stare at the target and fly over.
Until the target was finally knocked down, it was estimated that no one knew who did it.
In addition to early warning aircraft, there are also electronic jammers, which can all be shot down in this way!
How could Mr. Lin not be excited when he thought of this? He immediately screamed.
“Yes, this direction is feasible. We can ask relevant departments to conduct preliminary research.” Mr. Wu also nodded.
This Hongqi-9 missile was jointly developed by many domestic units. The seeker technology also needs to be developed by the following supporting units.
“What’s more, we need to develop a specialized extra-atmospheric kinetic energy interceptor.”
Out of the atmosphere, kinetic energy interception?
Hongqi-9 does not have wings on the missile body, only a tail fin, so it uses a tall gas rudder when controlling it. However, it can still only fly in the atmosphere. Now, Qin Tao actually proposed the kinetic energy outside the atmosphere. Interception, which surprised everyone again.
“Why does it sound like an American Star Wars plan to me?” Mr. Lin said.
"Yes, that's right. Although everyone now thinks that the American plan is fake and is to bring down the Red Empire, in fact, the Americans spare no effort to protect themselves." Qin Tao said: "They In order to seek absolute unilateral security, we will definitely develop ways to intercept ballistic missiles. Apart from protesting, we can only do the same work ourselves. We need the ability to intercept ballistic missiles that are farther away."
Scud missiles with a range of 300 kilometers fly within the atmosphere almost the entire way, so Patriot missiles can intercept them, but what if the range is longer?
Medium-range ballistic missiles can fly out of the atmosphere. If you want to intercept such missiles, you must have an extra-atmospheric interceptor.
This is a huge challenge.
"Of course, this is just a suggestion of mine. We can now use it as a research direction to do some preliminary research, officially launch it, and wait for future opportunities." Qin Tao said: "But on the other hand, it is already There is no time to delay.”
“What aspect?”
“Our killer weapon must have the ability to detect and intercept stealth aircraft.”
Stealth machine!
In the wars in the desert areas in the past few years, the F-117 has appeared in public, constantly demonstrating the power of alien technology, and a dark cloud has shrouded everyone's heads.
What should we do when faced with this kind of aircraft?
Our most advanced air defense weapon system must be able to intercept stealth aircraft!
"Then what should we do specifically?" Mr. Wu listened very carefully, because he knew that this was very important.
"The stealth machine is not as powerful as the Americans boast. It still has flaws." Qin Tao said: "For example, it only has the best stealth effect for certain special wave bands. We only need to increase the wavelength , it will be easier to detect it. Our navy's warships need to have meter-wave radars to provide long-range early warning, and at the same time, it can also make stealth aircraft invisible. As for our land-based air defense missile system, everyone can also think of a way .”
All air defense missile systems have been recovered, and various measurement and control data have been completed. This target shooting is completely completed, and it is time to close the team.
When several people sat back in the car, Wu Shengli couldn't help but speak: "Taozi, do you think our navy's warships will have to carry meter-wave antennas like TV antennas in the future?"
"Of course. In the future, we will put a four-sided phased array radar in front of the bridge, and the mast above the bridge will imitate the roof radar. Behind the chimney, and at a suitable location above the hangar, we can place a special meter-wave antenna. Our Relevant units must continue to develop and update our meter-wave radar system."
Qin Tao expressed these opinions at the warship phased array radar selection meeting. It seems that these people just listened to the excitement at the beginning and forgot about it afterwards.
“But the meter-wave radar is not accurate enough!”
The advantage of meter-wave radar is that it has a long scanning distance, so it has a wide range of use scenarios as a long-range early warning radar. However, although it can see far, it is cataracted and cannot see clearly at all. It can only know where the target is, but the specific The position cannot be determined at all, and the error is often hundreds of meters, which is simply unable to meet the needs of guiding missiles.
You just saw it, but you can't accurately locate it, so you still can't hunt the stealth machine!
"There are two ways. For example, after the meter wave radar is discovered, all the beams of our active phased array radar will be irradiated. Even a stealth aircraft cannot block the irradiation of a large number of our radar waves. There is always a way to Reflected back." Qin Tao introduced the relevant technology: "We can also develop meter-wave radar networking technology. Through data links, we can connect the meter-wave radar data on two warships dozens of kilometers apart and process it comprehensively. Dramatically improves accuracy.”
Qin Tao understands these basic principles, but the specific details are not clear.
Wu Shengli nodded: "Well, we should start developing these technologies. Stealth machines will definitely be our biggest threat in the future."
As my father-in-law, I really follow the good deeds.
Mr. Lin also nodded: "Stealth aircraft are our biggest threat. From now on, we must focus on fighting stealth aircraft."
After all, their air force plays the leading role in matters in the sky.
"Mr. Lin, are only stealth aircraft a threat?" Qin Tao said with a smile: "Are cruise missiles powerful? Can armed helicopters carry out sneak attacks? I remember that we used to have three attacks and three defenses. Now, do you want to do more? Come up with a new slogan?”
These words made Wu Shengli curious: "New slogan?"
“Yes, it’s still three-on-three defense, but the old routine needs to be changed.”
"We are the same as before, which is to fight against aircraft, tanks, airborne, atomic, chemical and biological weapons." Mr. Lin said: "What is the new one? Fighting against stealth aircraft, cruise missiles and armed helicopters?"
Qin Tao gave a thumbs up: "That's right!"
“What about the three defenses?”
“Anti-precision strikes, anti-electronic interference, anti-reconnaissance and surveillance.”
As he spoke, Qin Tao’s eldest brother made a loud noise.
“Hey, what? Okay, I understand, I’ll be there right away!”
Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
“Xiao Ling fainted at work and is now in the hospital.”
“What? I’ll go too!” Wu Shengli made his decision immediately. This is his precious daughter, what's wrong?
Huating, 85 Hospital.
"I'm fine, doctor, maybe I've just been a little tired recently." Zhao Ling's voice was still weak, but her attitude was very firm: "I only need to rest for two days and I will recover. I don't need to be hospitalized, just let me go home. "
The doctor glanced at Zhao Ling: "Yes, the main reason for your fainting is fatigue, but, young man, you must pay attention to the fact that work is important, and the body is more important. The body is the capital of the revolution! Moreover, even if you are not Take care of your own body, but also think about the child in your belly!”
Child in the belly?
Zhao Ling was stunned for a moment: "Doctor, do I have it?"
Zhao Ling's face turned red. Indeed, she was too careless. Her good friend stopped visiting more than a month ago. However, she always thought that she was overworked and caused the delay, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Now, she finally understood. Yes, this is because there is it in the stomach.
I finally have a child and am going to be a mother.
At this moment, Zhao Ling also felt a little excited in her heart.
I don’t know how long it took before she fell into a deep sleep. When she opened her eyes again, she felt very energetic.
Why is there an extra figure in front of the hospital bed? The figure sat on a chair nearby, leaning against the bedside table, and fell asleep like this.
Zhao Ling was a little surprised, but when she took a closer look, her heart felt extremely sweet.
After learning that he was sick, Brother Tao came. He should have come from the capital, right? After arriving, I couldn't bear to disturb my sleeping self, so I sat here, but I was too tired, so I fell asleep.
Zhao Ling opened her big eyes and looked at Qin Tao. She thought of the new life in her belly, so she reached out to touch her belly, her face filled with happiness.
As if her movements made a sound, Qin Tao in front of the hospital bed opened his eyes. When he saw Zhao Ling waking up, a smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Ling, are you awake?"
"Um."
"Are you hungry? I'll get you something."
"No, I'm not hungry yet. Brother Tao, are you tired? How about you lie down? It's not daylight outside anyway."
Zhao Ling said and moved her body to the side, so Qin Tao climbed up.
The two of them were lying on the same bed. Qin Tao's hand touched Zhao Ling's belly, where there was a new life.
"As a mother, I am so careless. The child has been here for more than two months and I don't even know." Zhao Ling said.
"Yes, you are indeed careless. You were busy working before and I didn't care. But in the future, if you cause my son to lack nutrition due to work again, be careful I will spank you!"
“Brother Tao, how did you know he was a son?”
"Okay, I made a mistake. Sons and daughters are just as good." Qin Tao said.
Zhao Ling had already woken up and could not sleep anymore, so she whispered this to Qin Tao like this, as if she had returned to the scene when the two of them were in the same bed for the first time. Those scenes were still vivid in her mind.
“Brother Tao, what do you think you would like to name your child?”
“My son’s name is Construction and my daughter’s name is Investment Promotion. How about that?”
"Go, go, go, don't mess around at this time." Zhao Ling rolled her eyes at Qin Tao dissatisfied: "If you are unwilling to use your brain, I will think about it myself."
“Okay. Hey, don’t pinch me.”
The two were arguing for a while, and it seemed that they were back to the same situation as before. After gradually quieting down, Qin Tao spoke.
“Xiaoling, do you want to continue with this project?”
Zhao Ling is pregnant, so the most important thing for Qin Tao is the child. The money he earns is enough for Zhao Ling to live the best life.
It’s just that Zhao Ling doesn’t work for money, but for ideals.
Qin Tao is not an unreasonable person. He cannot directly ask Zhao Ling to quit her job and go home to raise her baby. After all, in this era, pregnant women are not so delicate. It is common to work on the first day and give birth to the baby the next day. yes.
At this time, Qin Tao was just consulting Zhao Ling for her opinion.
"Currently, the most important challenge for our project is to increase the range. Other guidance systems have matured. This project requires advanced solid fuel." Zhao Ling said, "Otherwise, we will fall into many traps. Add water if there is too much water and add noodles if there is too much water.”
If the missile wants to increase its range, it can be achieved by improving the solid propellant, improving the technology, reducing the weight of the missile shell, etc. It can also be achieved by simply adding fuel.
However, after adding fuel, the weight of the missile itself will also increase. The result is that the missile needs more fuel to push it to the same speed and distance, which means more fuel is needed.
Qin Tao nodded: "I understand. During this period, you can rest peacefully. I promise, I can help you solve this advanced solid fuel matter!"
There has always been a lack of advanced solid fuel in the country. As Mr. Wu said, the original Hongqi-9 missile was a big thing with a length of more than nine meters and a diameter of more than 700 millimeters. The missile launcher could only carry three missiles at a time. In use After adding new fuel, it reduced to its current volume.
If the Hongqi-9 missile does not want to change its size, but wants to increase its range, it will also need advanced solid fuel.
These are all problems that need to be solved, and Qin Tao can definitely help with this kind of thing.
Of course, not now, for now, he just wants to be with his wife, and everything will be done after the New Year!
Wu Shengli came as soon as it dawned outside, and Xu Zhengyang came in with Wu Shengli, carrying breakfast in his hand.
Yesterday when he came to Huating, it was already midnight. Qin Tao guarded the hospital bed and asked his father-in-law to go to his residence to rest. Anyway, he already knew what the situation was, so there was no need to be too anxious.
At this time, Wu Shengli had a smile on his face.
"Xiao Ling, you have to take care of your body in the future. You are no longer alone." Wu Shengli's words were full of joy: "Your mother has been waiting to hold her grandson for a long time. Now it's good ”
“Dad, how are you sure it’s your grandson? What if it’s a granddaughter?”
Zhao Ling is most concerned about this point.
"Grandsons and granddaughters are fine." Wu Shengli said: "Your mother and I still love you as our only daughter? Are you still afraid that your father favors sons over daughters?"
This is true.
Xu Zhengyang opened the lunch box and placed it on the bedside table. Qin Tao picked up the millet porridge, stirred it a few times with a spoon, and then put it to his mouth and blew on it. His action was extremely considerate.
“Brother Tao, just give me a drink. It’s not like I can’t move.” Zhao Ling felt a little embarrassed.
If it's surgery or something like that, and the person can't move, then it's okay to be fed. What now? Now I am fine, I am just tired. I feel very embarrassed to be treated like a seriously ill person.
"No, come on, open your mouth." Qin Tao was very determined.
Zhao Ling could only open her mouth. The porridge at the right temperature entered her mouth, flowed down her throat, and flowed into her stomach. Her whole body was warm.
Big Brother’s voice sounded.
“Brother Tao, there’s a phone number.”
"Yeah?"
Qin Tao reached over and was immediately killed.
“Hey, maybe there is something important?” Zhao Ling was a little anxious.
“No matter how important it is, it can’t be more important than you.”
Zhao Ling felt warm in her heart.
Xu Zhengyang’s eldest brother made a loud noise.
Xu Zhengyang walked out of the ward and made a phone call outside. When he came back, his expression looked a little strange.
"Brother Xu, what's going on in the group? Tell me, don't delay important things." Zhao Ling has already seen it: "I'm just tired, nothing else. I just need to rest for a few days. If it's because of me, It’s not okay to delay the group’s major events.”
“Now, nothing in the group is as important as you.” Qin Tao said.
“Brother Tao, how could you do this?”
“Then you have to agree to my request.”
"any request?"
“During this period, please take sick leave and wait until after the Chinese New Year before returning to work.”
There are still ten days left before the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, Zhao Ling can rest for about twenty days. In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnancy protection is the most important. If the baby is accidentally lost this time, it will be difficult in the future. Causes habitual miscarriage.
"If you don't agree, then I will accompany you and not care about the group's affairs."
Wu Shengli smiled and said nothing, secretly giving Qin Tao a thumbs up. This trick really worked!
"Okay, I promise you. Brother Xu, tell me quickly!"
Xu Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Mr. Qin, the group reported that a large number of ships have been delivered to customers recently. The group chose a good day and decided to make batch deliveries. This is also a time to reflect the strength of the group. .”
“A large number of ships?”
“Yes, there is the Siamese aircraft carrier, the last two MOSS tank natural gas ships, two bulk carriers, and four catamaran yachts.”
A smile appeared on Qin Tao's face: "Yes, this is really a significant moment. It would be inappropriate if I, the boss, were not here. When will the batch be delivered?"
"tomorrow."
“What? Are you so anxious?”
“Brother Tao, I’m fine. I’ll be discharged from the hospital today. I’ll go with you.” Zhao Ling said.
"Go? How are you going? You have to stay well. The child in your belly is the most important now." Qin Tao said to Zhao Ling: "The doctor said that you need to rest recently, but you can't travel back and forth. You just stay in Huating. I’ll be back as soon as I go.”
