A big country of aerospace with black technology

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Geng Bo hugged Qiao Yang warmly.

Since starting the hypersonic missile project, Qiao Yang rarely appears in front of outsiders and stays in a base far away from people all year round.

"Long time no see. Are you in charge of the test this time?"

Qiao Yang also asked with a smile after not seeing his senior for a long time.

"I am now in charge of the navy."

After Geng Bo briefly introduced the current situation, Qiao Yang understood a lot.

There was already a lot of cooperation between them and the navy because of the rocket launcher on the ship.

Later, because of Hai Hongqi's incident, the cooperation deepened a lot.

This large stall also requires dedicated people to be responsible for it.

"This time, we are shooting a large target ship. Are you confident?"

As the two walked, they briefly chatted about the missile test.

"Which aspect are you talking about?"

Qiao Yang thought for a while and then said:

"Whether it is accuracy or power, I have great confidence in our missiles!"

What the two are discussing now is the latest model of anti-ship missiles.

Although it is a land-based version, it will definitely be put on ships in the future.

Moreover, the ships being attacked also require coordination from the Navy.

Therefore, those responsible for various arrangements are mainly naval personnel.

The target ship for the attack was a converted civilian ship with a displacement of 12,000 tons.

This is mainly because there are currently no large ships in the country.

Of course, if you count the second-hand aircraft carrier I bought before, there are still some.

However, the Varyag has already entered the shipyard and started its own transformation path.

Therefore, the navy can only use civilian ships to convert target ships.

"This time, our experimental target is outside the first island chain, and it is very complicated in all aspects. Everyone must be alert!"

Before the experiment, Qiao Yang spoke seriously to his colleagues.

"Strive to ensure the success of this weapons experiment!"

An anti-ship missile using a new solid rocket motor has a range of more than 3,000 kilometers!

His target is basically the enemy's main fleet on the vast ocean.

The total nitrogen explosive using the latest technology is as powerful as a small nuclear bomb and does not cause any pollution.

The missile vehicle carrying the anti-ship missile has completed its deployment. With the assistance of the hydraulic system, the missile slowly moved from a flat position to an upright position.

Qiao Yang only felt that his heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

This is the first time that he has been fully responsible for such a large project since he has been engaged in missile research for so long.

Nervousness is inevitable.

Looking at his wrist, the second hand moved little by little.

As the launch time got closer, Qiao Yang's mood calmed down.

"The predetermined coordinates have been entered and the launch can be carried out!"

Accompanied by loud announcements from missile operators.

The time for experimentation has arrived!

"emission!"

Qiao Yang issued the launch order crisply.

The button is connected to the missile's ignition device.

The electric spark instantly ignited the solid fuel rocket engine.

Like a wild dragon, spitting out rolling flames, it detached from the missile vehicle and flew towards the sky!

In the depths of the ocean, Han Zitao was still anxiously waiting for the missiles flying from the distance.

The target practice test is not just about placing the target ship alone in a predetermined sea area.

Correspondingly, there are several ships with different purposes, working in conjunction with the target ship.

The warship Han Zitao is currently on is mainly responsible for escort work to avoid accidents.

"Approximately how long will it take?"

Han Zitao asked impatiently after looking at his watch.

"It just took off a minute ago, and the missile is expected to be twenty-three minutes away!"

The sailor on the warship replied after taking a look at the experiment plan.

According to the data available in advance, the average speed of the anti-ship missile is Mach 6.

The distance of the target ship is about three thousand kilometers, and the flight time can be easily determined.

Han Zitao naturally knew this, so he just asked subconsciously.

The flight altitude of such long-range missiles is generally more than 100 kilometers, which is also to avoid possible disputes.

Because generally speaking, the airspace of each country is the air space above the specified country.

Most countries consider airspace below 65 kilometers to be airspace, and a few countries consider airspace below 120 kilometers to be airspace.

Of course, some major military powers consider airspace below 200 kilometers to be airspace.

Yingjiang is a bit more creative and believes that the 380,000 kilometers from the earth to the moon are their airspace.

However, in reality, they lack the actual jurisdiction over flying objects exceeding an altitude of 100 kilometers, so they basically ignore them.

Therefore, missiles flying at this altitude will basically not cause any trouble.

Besides, not all countries can establish missile detection networks.

The anti-ship missile flew quickly from the edge of the atmosphere at a speed of Mach 6.

In just twenty minutes, a distance of nearly three thousand kilometers was covered!

The anti-ship missile entering its terminal state further increases its speed!

Scramjet, start working!

The missile's speed was further pushed to over Mach 10!

Moreover, the height of the missile is still slowly decreasing!

From the previous hundred kilometers, it dropped to less than a thousand meters!

Unlike short-range missiles that can achieve sea-skimming flight, hypersonic missiles cannot achieve sea-skimming flight because they are too fast.

But fortunately, he doesn't need these.

It only needs to rely on its unparalleled speed to break through the enemy's air defense firepower network!

Although it was just a weapons test, everyone still carefully simulated the scenario of the fleet discovering an incoming missile.

On the warship where Han Zitao sat, the radar began to continuously track the missiles.

However, the phased array radar is somewhat unable to capture such a fast missile.

Every time after briefly capturing the target, it quickly lost track of it.

This resulted in anti-aircraft missiles being basically reduced to scrap metal.

Because it cannot effectively track the target, it is as if the missile has lost its eyes and cannot hit it at all!

Just when the radar soldiers were still trying hard to capture the hypersonic missile.

The missile, whose flight altitude has been reduced to a hundred meters, has already reached a range of only a few kilometers!

This is already lower than the minimum range at which anti-aircraft missiles can work!

At this time, we can only rely on the Phalanx anti-missile artillery to carry out anti-missile work.

However, even radar has difficulty catching the missile, and how can an anti-aircraft gun that relies on an electric mechanism to rotate keep up with it!

The fiery red bullet chain flashed in the sky.

Everyone is still making a last-ditch effort to intercept this anti-ship missile.

But this is in vain!

Anti-ship missiles are like thunder!

Relying on its own powerful kinetic energy, it directly penetrated the modified deck of the target ship!

Then there was a raging explosion in the cabin!

Yellow-red flames soared into the sky from the ship, dozens of meters high!

Even though he was thousands of meters away, Han Zitao could still feel the hot wind blowing towards him!

After a tragic explosion, the target ship was almost broken into two sections!

The deck reinforced with special steel cannot withstand the heat waves of thousands of degrees and slowly melts!

Although the target ship was not directly blown apart, it was almost blown through the middle, leaving a big hole!

The turbulent sea water kept pouring into the cabin, and in just a few minutes, less than half of it sank!

Through drones and helicopters, it can be seen more clearly that a large hole with a diameter of ten meters appears in the middle of the target ship.

It was like a wound that was constantly being filled with seawater.

"This power is a bit scary!"

Han Zitao couldn't help but say with the corners of his mouth rising.

Although the power is scary, for the army, the more power, the better!

The radar soldiers on the ship, who had struggled to capture the missiles with radar, also looked at the black and red fire cloud on the sea with a shocked look that had not completely dispersed!

I couldn't help but say: "This damn thing is like a nuclear bomb!"

The missile's explosive charge is actually not very large, just over two hundred kilograms of total nitrogen explosive.

There is no difference in the amount of explosives from a heavy aerial bomb.

But the power is completely different!

Total nitrogen explosives are currently the most powerful explosives on this planet besides atomic weapons. Anyone who uses them can say yes! ,

Eighty-five times more powerful than traditional TNT!

In other words, these two hundred kilograms of total nitrogen explosive are actually equivalent to about twenty tons of TNT!

This is not much different in power from small nuclear weapons!

"With this thing in hand, it seems that the aircraft carrier is not that great!"

Everyone on the boat was discussing excitedly.

For the navy, the most stressful thing is to face enemy aircraft carrier attacks.

Now, we finally have a weapon that can threaten enemy aircraft carriers!

Above the sea, the target ship, which had suffered a heavy blow, sank rapidly in the constant influx of seawater.

In just over ten minutes, most parts of the target ship have been submerged by the sea.

"What do you think it would be like if the aircraft carrier was hit by this guy?"

Han Zitao listened to the discussion around him and couldn't help but join in the discussion.

The missile technicians following on the ship also joined the discussion at this time.

"According to our previous calculations, if an aircraft carrier is attacked by such a missile, it will only take two rounds to sink!"

"There is still a certain probability of survival after one shot, but even if it survives, the deck is completely destroyed and the aircraft can no longer take off and land."

"Without carrier-based aircraft, the aircraft carrier is like a tiger without its claws, without any threat!"

Carrier-based aircraft are the most important means of attack and defense for aircraft carriers. Since aircraft carriers entered the stage of naval warfare, the two have been in a complementary position.

Without the aircraft carrier, carrier-based aircraft are just lone geese in the vast ocean, without even a place to stay.

The aircraft carrier has left the carrier-based aircraft. Although it can still move on the ocean, it has no offensive and defensive capabilities.

Although there are still a lot of anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers on the aircraft carrier, it can only be said to be better than nothing!

"Ah, I really want to give their aircraft carrier a shot!"

Han Zitao looked at the position of the target ship that had completely sunk, with only a few whirlpools remaining on the sea, and said with some emotion.

In his mind, there was already a picture of the missile flying through the sky like a flying sword from the sky, penetrating the aircraft carrier, and then blowing it into two pieces.

Over the years, the number of times the Navy has been bullied by their aircraft carriers is countless.

The enemy dares to blockade and suppress us because we don't have an aircraft carrier and they do, above the sea.

With the birth of long-range anti-ship missiles, these days will be gone forever!

The Navy is finally coming to the day when it no longer needs to be patient!

"When can anti-ship missiles be put on ships?" Han Zitao asked a few practical questions after finishing his fantasy and returning to reality.

"It should be soon. Didn't your 052C just hit the water?"

The technician thought for a while and said:

"The anti-ship model should be used in conjunction with the latest destroyers."

As the latest generation of large destroyers, the first ship of the 052C was just launched at Jiangnan Shipyard last month and the outfitting work began.

"Don't worry, your good days are yet to come!"

The technician smiled and said:

"The price of anti-ship missiles is not high. When facing the enemy's fleet, even if we adopt a saturation strike, it is still worthwhile."

The actual production cost of anti-ship missiles is only more than 10 million US dollars, not counting research and development costs.

This is because the new scramjet engine and various electronic equipment have just begun production and the cost is relatively high.

Once mass production begins, costs can quickly drop below $10 million.

According to Zhang Xingyang's previous calculations, under mass production, the cost of each missile will not exceed 9.5 million US dollars!

A 32-round saturation strike only costs more than 300 million US dollars.

The cost of an enemy aircraft carrier battle group is tens of billions of dollars.

From a purely cost-effective point of view, this is also a very cost-effective thing.

Ten hypersonic missiles in exchange for one enemy aircraft carrier is a profitable business.

Moreover, in their previous internal deductions, even after strengthening the enemy's anti-missile capabilities.

The penetration probability of hypersonic missiles can still reach 70%!

In other words, under the most unfavorable circumstances, the probability of interception of all three missiles is already as low as 2.7%.

What is the probability that all ten shots will be intercepted?

Less than six ten thousandths!

This is basically negligible.

This is still under the condition of cheating the enemy.

In fact, according to Zhang Xingyang's judgment from various information, the missile's penetration probability should be more than 90%.

Because their current anti-missile technology basically poses no threat to hypersonic missiles.

"Yes, the good days of the Navy are still to come!"

Han Zitao looked at the deep blue ocean that had returned to blue and said with a smile.

Whether it's a 10,000-ton cruiser or an aircraft carrier, they will have it! (End of chapter)
