Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 155 The End of Airborne Missiles

Afterwards, Zhong Cheng also received an order to stop performing such dangerous flying maneuvers, and to proceed gradually after a period of test flight.

After the air maneuver performance test is completed, it is to test the air attack performance.

Flying at 6 times the supersonic speed in the air, the three tested the launch of laser cannons, electromagnetic guns and air-to-air missiles, all of which accurately hit the designated virtual air targets.

The fire control radar system running in the airborne Fuxi optical brain has demonstrated powerful target scanning and fire control capabilities.

The fire control radar actually includes two systems: the radar scanning system and the fire control system.

Fire control is the process of realizing the comprehensive and effective utilization of the entire weapon system through computer-aided systems.

Therefore, the issue of fire control is generally only mentioned on comprehensive weapon platforms such as aircraft and warships (both carrying multiple concurrent weapons).

Generally speaking, for a single soldier or a system with only one main weapon (no concurrent system), fire control is not mentioned, and it is generally called a guidance system.

Radar is naturally the eyes, ears and mouth of the system!
Realize early warning scanning and search through radar to obtain detailed information of the theater.

Then the fire control system will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the information, classify and group the targets and give the threat coefficient to the unit, and the advanced fire control system will give suggestions for weapon selection.

Of course, the fire control system can automatically process most of the information, but it depends on the operator whether to follow the analysis of the fire control system in the end.

With a powerful fire control radar system, all Zhong Cheng has to do is to click "Confirm" on the operation panel, which is too easy.

One of the most important items in the competition of the most advanced fighters is the fire control radar system. In modern air combat, finding and locking the opponent 0.1 seconds earlier than the opponent may determine the outcome of the air battle.

Zhong Cheng paid relatively little attention to this aspect, but Li Mei still successfully developed a world-leading fire control radar system.

Next is the final attack test against ground targets.

The Suzaku fighter is a heavy-duty, multi-functional stealth fighter, capable of air-to-ground attacks. The ability to attack ground targets mainly tests the power of the fighter's weapon system.

Ground targets usually have solid armor or fortifications, which can be beaten off the plane, but not necessarily ground targets.

The area where the ground target of this test is located is a plateau uninhabited area with an altitude of more than 4000 meters. It is near a mountain pass under the Kunlun Mountains, and the climatic conditions are extremely complicated.

For this test, the local garrison specially sent personnel to build two reinforced concrete fortifications on a high ground, with a thickness of 2 meters.

Forty eliminated Type 59 main battle tanks will be transported, and a remote control driving device will be installed in the driver's cab, and they will drive at high speed in the target area by themselves.

The test mission of Suzaku No. [-] is to destroy the above-mentioned targets at one time when passing the target area at low altitude and high speed.

Concerned about the two super pilots, Zhong Cheng expressed that he did not have any pressure and would just watch his performance then.

When Suzaku No. [-] approached the Kunlun Mountain Pass for [-] kilometers from the north, Zhong Cheng took over the piloting of the fighter plane.

He manipulated Suzaku No. 18000 to quickly lower its height from an altitude of [-] meters, and plunged into the Kunlun Mountains.

Traveling at high speed among the mountains at an altitude of 6000 meters, less than 100 meters from the ground.

At this moment, Zhong Cheng felt different from when he was operating Jingwei No. [-]. This time he was sitting on the plane himself, and the thrills were completely different.

Although Jingwei No. 3 was only 100 meters high when it was closest to the ground, Suzaku No. [-] did not dare to fly like this. The height of [-] meters was already the limit allowed by the leaders.

Suzaku No. [-] flew among the vast snow-capped mountains, and the requirements for pilots were very high. A slight mistake would result in a crash and death. The two super pilots sitting on both sides of Zhong Cheng became nervous.

If they knew that Zhong Cheng even wanted to fly to a height of 10 meters, they would definitely think Zhong Cheng was crazy.

Zhong Cheng easily drove Suzaku No. [-] along the valley between the mountains and flew towards the mountain pass, feeling that the depression of many days was swept away.

He remembered the scene when he was running on the track of the company's big playground seven years ago.

At that time, he had just got rid of his frail body and ran with all his strength for the first time. The feeling of letting go of himself was very similar to now.

It's just that at that time, the speed was less than 10 meters per second, but now it is more than 1000 meters per second, which is completely different.

He's already really flying!
Three minutes later, Suzaku No. 3 flew out of the Kunlun Mountain Pass.

Radar showed the targets were just around the hills 80 kilometers away, and the fire control system had locked on to all 32 targets.

Because of the distance, it is recommended to use Houyi Electromagnetic Cannon or Air-to-Surface Missile to attack.

Zhong Cheng raised the altitude of the fighter plane and jumped from a low altitude of 100 meters to an altitude of 1000 meters.

He chose to use the Houyi electromagnetic gun to attack a reinforced concrete fortification and five Type 59 tanks, and air-to-ground missiles to attack another reinforced concrete fortification and five Type 59 tanks.

Suzaku No. [-] carried a new type of air-to-ground missile, which was not developed by Zhong Cheng and the others. Testing the power of this new type of air-to-ground missile was just a incidental task of this test.

With the pressing of Zhong Cheng's finger, the Houyi electromagnetic guns installed on both sides under the cockpit of Suzaku No. 1000 fired instantly, firing towards the target at a firing frequency of [-] rounds per second.

The two Houyi electromagnetic guns each fired 20 rounds of 2-gram sharp-edged alloy projectiles within 50 seconds, flying at an average super-high speed of 4000 meters per second.

By the time the last pellet is fired, the first pellet has already hit its target.

The six air-to-surface missiles launched at the same time were still 6 kilometers away.

The monitors and unmanned surveillance drones installed near the hills truly recorded this moment.

I saw six fire lines visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared on the screen, and a reinforced concrete fortification and five Type 59 tanks were penetrated within 1 second.

In the next 19 seconds, the reinforced concrete fortifications and Type 59 tanks were 'torn' into pieces by the ensuing high-speed alloy projectiles.

One minute later, six air-to-surface missiles hit the target "belatedly". A large hole was opened in the reinforced concrete fortification, and the turret of the Type 1 tank was lifted.

And 30 seconds ago, the thirty Xingtian laser cannons on Suzaku No. 50 had already fired, instantly hitting the remaining thirty Type 59 tanks from [-] kilometers away.

Ten bowl-sized smooth holes were left on the turret of each tank, and the internal equipment of the tank was completely destroyed.

It's not that the missiles don't work hard, their speed is only a few times the speed of sound, how can they catch up with the electromagnetic gun projectiles that are more than ten times the speed of sound, let alone the laser.

The cost of a solid alloy projectile does not exceed 100 yuan, and 100 pellets are more than enough to destroy a tank.

The cost of a missile starts at a million dollars, and the price/performance ratio is not at the same level at all.

Not to mention laser cannons that use electrical energy.

With the emergence of two new types of weapons, it will be a matter of time before missiles are withdrawn from the weapon sequence of fighter jets.

So far, all 32 ground targets in this Suzaku fighter attack test have been destroyed at one time, and Suzaku-30 is still [-] kilometers away.

The first flight test of the Suzaku fighter jet was successfully completed!
While those who watched the first flight of Suzaku-[-] rejoiced at the success of the test, many people couldn't help but wonder:
"In the face of such a sharp air attack force, is there still a need for ground armed forces?"
