The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 167 Solve the problem of nothing first - Eagle Strike-1 [Request full order]

Like Qian Xuesen, the father of missiles, and Yu Min, the father of the hydrogen bomb, which one of them is not a shining scientific research giant in the history of the Republic?
In particular, it can be said that Mr. Qian has single-handedly raised my country's missile technology to an extremely high level.

Qian Xuesen's ballistics is unique in the world!

Wang Haoran has great respect for these scientists.

Shi Yongjun said with a smile: "When I went to see Mr. Qian a few days ago, we were talking about you!"

"Mr. Qian said that you are a groundbreaking figure in the scientific community in the five thousand years of Dragon Country history."

"Mr. Qian is full of praise for your breakthroughs in the field of chips and electronics!"

"He said that our scientists must not go astray and regard basic research as more important than applied research!"

"In fact, basic scientific research should serve applied scientific research!"

"Because only applied scientific research can turn technology into a huge productive force! Only then can it change the world!"

Wang Haoran waved his hand and said, "Mr. Qian, you are too kind. I have only made a small achievement. It is an honor for me to serve the country and help it grow and develop!"

Shi Yongjun said: "Haoran, you are a little too modest, haha!"

"However, your behavior of serving the country without considering your own gains and losses deserves great praise."

"Well! Let's get down to business. The 406 steel you developed for the development of fighter jets is really excellent!"

"It has greatly enhanced our country's research and development capabilities in special steel and filled our current gaps."

"What I want to say is that it is also urgently needed for the development of the aerospace industry!"

Wang Haoran naturally knew the other party's intention a long time ago: they came for 406 special steel!

He nodded and said, "I know. Its performance parameters are also fully applicable to the aerospace field."

Shi Yongjun said: "Our aerospace department is the department that forges swords for the country. If there are any good things, I think we should use them first, right?"

"For example, rockets used in space flight, intercontinental missiles, medium- and short-range missiles, and even cruise missiles all require this type of steel."

"If you want to kill the enemy, you still have to look at the sharpness of the sword."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, “Leader, 406 steel was developed in cooperation with Shougang.”

"Because we have already joined forces with a large steel company, and we have fully considered the issue of large-scale production during the development, so the speed of mass production of this steel will be very fast."

"We should be able to increase the output of this steel to at least 1 tons per month within half a year!"

"I think it can definitely meet the needs of your aerospace department!"

Shi Yongjun was overjoyed when he heard this.

"In that case, then I'll feel relieved, haha!"

“Comrade Haoran, if you have anything good, you should think more about us in the future. Is that okay with you?”

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Of course! Don't worry, leader!"

"We will also have the latest ultra-high-strength aluminum alloy and carbon fiber composite materials, which are expected to be developed soon."

"These two materials are also very useful in the aerospace field."

In fact, Longguo now also has its own aluminum alloy materials.

But the various performance parameters are still a little bit worse.

Zhao Aiguo was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Carbon fiber composite materials? You can make it too?" Zhao Aiguo asked in surprise.

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Of course."

"This new material is lighter, and its strength, corrosion resistance, and toughness are similar to or even better than steel."

"If it is accomplished, it will greatly promote the development of our aerospace industry."

Zhao Aiguo said: "I heard that the carbon fiber composite material technology in the foot basin is already very advanced, and they have begun to use carbon fiber materials in many fields."

"However, this technology is quite difficult. Carbon fiber is very expensive in the world now! Moreover, even if we want to buy it, sometimes we can't buy it."

"Can it really be done?"

Wang Haoran said calmly: "If the little notebook can do it, we can definitely do it! Is there any need to say that?"

"I hope that one day we can restore the old order, let the Japanese continue to look up to us, and let them return to the miserable and difficult times of a small country with few people forever!"

Shi Yongjun clapped his hands, nodded and said, "Comrade Haoran is a person of true character! We must dare to love and hate!"

"That carbon fiber, I see Ben and Yusa are bragging about it. If we can get it done, it will definitely greatly boost the confidence of the people!"

Next, Wang Haoran took the opportunity to talk to Shi Yongjun about the importance of developing a series of advanced cruise missiles.

After listening to Wang Haoran's point of view, Shi Yongjun smiled and said, "Haoran, Mr. Qian has also been promoting this matter."

"He also hopes that we can have a major breakthrough in cruise missiles!"

"Because there are still limits on the use of ballistic missiles."

"In the future, both the navy, air force and army will need cruise missiles."

Wang Haoran sighed and said: "Mr. Qian really has a sharp eye!"

Yusa began developing the Tomahawk cruise missile in 1972.

It was successfully developed by the end of the 70s.

This thing has a maximum strike range of 2500 kilometers and is only 6 meters long. It has amazing destructive power and very high strike accuracy.

After the successful development of the Tomahawk, it caused a sensation around the world.

Of course, Big Bear was also researching a corresponding long-range cruise missile at the time, called KH-55. This cruise missile was very similar to the Tomahawk and was nicknamed "Tomahawkski".

In the previous life, Longguo also began research on cruise missiles in the early 80s, but due to limitations in technological levels, progress was relatively slow.

Shi Yongjun smiled and said, "Comrade Haoran should go and have a good talk with Mr. Qian."

"Although he is already in his seventies, he is still working hard for the development of the country's national defense!"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "I will."

"I have the contact information of Mr. Qian's office, but I have never dared to disturb him."

Shi Yongjun said: "This is where you are wrong."

"Mr. Qian really likes to communicate with young people. You should be more proactive."

Wang Haoran said: "You are right in your criticism. I will contact Mr. Qian right away."

"If the old man is willing to talk in detail, I will go and visit him."

……

After Shi Yongjun left Wang Haoran, he went to visit Mr. Qian again.

Mr. Qian still holds an important position in the Science and Technology Association and is still working hard for the country's intercontinental missile experiments.

Just in May of this year, my country successfully launched an intercontinental missile, and we have initially acquired the tremendous capability to launch a nuclear counterattack to severely damage our opponents.

Longguo is the third country in the world to conduct full-scale experiments on intercontinental missiles with great success.

The first two are Jusa and the Big Bear.

As for the other two little Karamis, although they claim to have intercontinental missiles, they have never been fully tested. No one knows whether their things can be used.

It can be said that Mr. Qian made great contributions to the success of the intercontinental missile test launch.

After Shi Yongjun met Mr. Qian, he told Mr. Qian about Wang Haoran's plan to develop cruise missiles.

After hearing this, Mr. Qian laughed and said, "We have set up a research institute specifically to study cruise missiles!"

"This institute has just been established, and I am currently serving as their consultant."

"Comrade Haoran has received many good news recently!"

“That ultra-high-strength steel they came up with is really good!”

"If our intercontinental missiles used the steel they developed, I estimate that their range could be greatly increased!"

"I will contact him later to see if I can spare some time so that we can meet and chat together."

Shi Yongjun smiled and said, "Comrade Haoran is expected to call you soon."

"He actually really wants to communicate with you more."

As he was speaking, the phone on Mr. Qian's desk rang.

Mr. Qian stood up to answer the phone and said, "Haha, isn't it Haoran calling?"

As he spoke, he picked up the microphone and put it to his ear: "Hello! I am Qian Xuesen."

This call was really from Wang Haoran.

Hearing Mr. Qian's voice coming from the microphone, he smiled and greeted respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Qian! I am Wang Haoran. How are you doing recently?"

Mr. Qian laughed heartily: "Haha! Everything is fine! Comrade Yongjun is right here with me."

"We were just talking about you when you called."

Wang Haoran said: "Comrade Yongjun just left me not long ago. I didn't expect him to come see you again."

"Mr. Qian, do you have time these two days? If so, I will visit you and report my ideas to you." Mr. Qian said, "I am always available, but Haoran, please don't be so polite. I think I still have a lot to learn from you!"

"Just come directly."

Wang Haoran made an appointment with Mr. Qian to visit him at 10 o'clock the next morning.

The next day, he went out at 9:40 because the distance was not far and there were not many cars on the road at that time.

Soon, we arrived at the Science and Technology Association where Mr. Qian worked.

The car Wang Haoran was riding in smoothly entered the gate of the Science and Technology Association and stopped in front of the office building.

What Wang Haoran didn't expect was that as soon as he got off the car, he saw a man striding towards the office building.

It was Mr. Qian.

Boss Qian smiled and greeted Wang Haoran from a distance: "Haha! Comrade Haoran, you came quite quickly."

I was planning to come out to greet you at around 8:50, but I didn't expect you to be here.

Mr. Qian was dressed simply and had a big smile on his face. It was obvious that he was very happy to see Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran also hurriedly greeted with a smile and shook hands with Mr. Qian.

Then Mr. Qian accompanied Wang Haoran back to his office.

Tea, snacks and fruits are all prepared on the coffee table.

Obviously, Mr. Qian attached great importance to receiving Wang Haoran's visit.

This is the most careful preparation.

"Comrade Haoran, would you like to smoke?" Old Qian offered Wang Haoran a cigarette, it was Huazi.

But apparently he himself doesn't smoke.

Wang Haoran waved his hand and said, "Mr. Qian, I'm not very good at smoking, thank you."

Qian Xuesen put the cigarette back into the box and said with a smile: "This box of cigarettes has been in the drawer for three months. I use it to entertain guests."

"But no one who came here smoked."

"But not smoking is a very good habit! Haha!"

The two men exchanged a few pleasantries and then began to discuss the formal topic: the development of cruise missiles.

Wang Haoran shared with Mr. Qian some of his insights on cruise missiles.

From the missile's turbojet engine, to the missile's navigation system and target identification, to the cruise missile's penetration problem and whether terminal trajectory change is possible.

These topics are very professional.

What Wang Haoran talked about naturally included a lot of new knowledge points.

He even dissected the Tomahawk cruise missile that Jusa had just launched.

From the appearance design to the manufacturing materials, from the engine parameters to the navigation system, from its lethality to how to prevent it.

In short, he explained the battle axe directly and thoroughly.

This surprised Mr. Qian very much.

"Comrade Haoran, you are amazing! Haha, where did you get this information from?"

“This is very precious to us!”

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "You can't hide leftovers in a doghouse!"

"It has something good, and it wants to make it known to the whole world."

"On the one hand, this is to demonstrate strategic deterrence and flex their muscles to the world. On the other hand, they just like this kind of atmosphere of being worshipped by the whole world, haha!"

"A country like Judaism is ridiculous."

"Mr. Qian, you know that after Yosa developed the Tomahawk, Daxiong developed the KH-55, which is very similar to the Tomahawk."

"In fact, Daxiong got the other party's technical information!"

Old Qian said with a sharp gaze: "Haoran, you can deduce so many valuable things from public information. This kind of talent is too precious!"

"How about you work with the comrades at the Missile Institute to see if you can speed up the development of cruise missiles?"

Wang Haoran nodded happily and said, "I am very happy to cooperate with the comrades from the Missile Institute."

"We will strive to have advanced cruise missiles as soon as possible!"

At this time, Mr. Qian sighed and said: "Our missile guidance method is not advanced enough! Especially for cruise missiles."

"Yosa's cruise missile Tomahawk can reach a distance of up to 2500 kilometers. In addition to inertial guidance, terrain guidance and starlight guidance, it also uses satellite guidance."

"If we want to build a similar cruise missile, there are still many difficulties to be overcome in the guidance area."

In 1980, Jusa had begun building the GPS satellite navigation system.

However, GPS was not officially put into use until the late 80s.

However, before GPS, Julius also built a satellite navigation system to meet military needs, namely the Transit Satellite Positioning System.

It mainly serves military purposes.

In fact, among the issues that restrict the development of Longguo's cruise missiles, guidance is the most important one.

If the guidance problem is not solved and the missile cannot be accurately launched, its strategic significance will be much smaller.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, in fact, with our highly developed electronic technology today, missile guidance technology is no longer a big problem."

"Even if we don't have satellite guidance, we can still come up with a composite guidance system controlled by a single-chip microcomputer. We can combine inertial guidance, starlight guidance, terrain guidance, millimeter-wave active radar guidance, and infrared guidance to achieve very good precision guidance."

After hearing this, Mr. Qian said with a delighted look on his face: "Can we really combine so many guidance methods and make them work in unison to give full play to their functions?"

"I'm not very familiar with electronic technology, which limits my thinking."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, our electronic technology now has powerful information processing and computing capabilities. As long as the system is well built, there won't be any problems."

"I'll give you one of our most advanced microcomputers later, and you can figure it out yourself."

"Actually, electronic computers are quite simple. As long as you learn a little bit about them, you can definitely become an expert in this field."

Mr. Qian is a very smart man.

And scientific giants like these have super strong self-learning abilities.

They only need to delve into an unfamiliar field on their own, and sometimes they can become experts in that field.

Boss Qian laughed and said, "Haha! Haoran, you think too highly of me."

"I'm old, and I feel like I'm a little behind the times."

"Life goes by so fast."

Wang Haoran said seriously: "Mr. Qian, you are too modest. You are always at the forefront of scientific research."

“Your predictions and inferences about future technological development are very long-term and accurate.”

"Besides, you are not even 70 yet. A pillar of the country like you will surely live to be over years old."

Mr. Qian indeed thinks long-term.

He can make accurate and forward-looking predictions about technological developments in many fields.

The most famous thing is that in 1992, Mr. Qian wrote a letter to the country, suggesting the development of new energy vehicles, especially electric vehicles.

Later facts proved that Mr. Qian’s prediction was extremely accurate.

……

After talking with Mr. Qian, Wang Haoran went back and began to organize the information about missiles stored in his mind.

In its previous life, Dragon Kingdom developed two series of cruise missiles: Eagle Strike and Long Sword.

Both series have developed three versions: land-based, ship-based, and airborne.

This is a pinnacle product of Longguo's cruise missile.

Maybe we can take them out now?

Of course, it’s not a good idea to take out too much at once, right?
It is better to develop Eagle Strike-1 first. After developing one, solve the existing problems first, and then continue to develop a more advanced version.

You know, the Eagle Strike-1 is an anti-ship missile mounted on a fighter-bomber.

Wang Haoran began to draw the design drawings of Eagle Strike-1.

The missile power part he designed included a high-efficiency ramjet engine and two solid boosters.

Of course, the launch command system also needs to be designed in detail.

This launch command system is actually an information processing center, which is the brain of the cruise missile.

Then the guidance system must also be carefully designed to create a composite guidance system, and finally connected to the launch command system. The information of the guidance system is quickly processed by the launch command system, and finally guides the cruise missile to quickly hit the target.

Of course, the manufacturing material of the missile will also change to 406 steel, and the components inside will use lightweight materials as much as possible while considering safety and reliability, so as to reduce the weight of the missile itself as much as possible.

Wang Haoran worked for more than ten hours before he finally finalized the design of Eagle Strike-1.
