A big country of aerospace with black technology

Project 0311 is a group of super wind tunnels specially built in China for hypersonic weapons.

It can test the super support of weapons above ten times the speed of sound.

It has been more than two years since it started construction.

During this period of time, construction personnel worked day and night, and finally completed the basic construction of the wind tunnel group one month ahead of schedule.

As for the most core shock wave wind tunnel device, after three months, the installation and commissioning work was also completed.

"Colonel Chu, thank you for your hard work."

Looking at the wind tunnel base that was almost completely different from before, Zhang Xingyang said with emotion.

In less than three years, several wind tunnels and supporting infrastructure were built on this deserted wasteland.

And a thermal power station with a power generation level of 1,000 megawatts.

It is conceivable that the 11th, 13th, and 15th engineering bureaus responsible for the construction work must have paid a huge price.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the construction in such a short period of time.

"It's not hard, this is what we should do."

Although he said so, only he knew the pain during the construction process.

At the beginning, the construction camp did not even have the most basic water security.

Before the wells were drilled, everyone's water could only be taken from a lake hundreds of kilometers away.

However, the lake water is highly alkaline and emits bursts of bitter taste.

Thinking back now, Chu Xuan felt his tongue was numb.

"When will the thermal power plant be able to start normal operation?"

This time when he came to the wind tunnel base, Zhang Xingyang had serious business to do, and he didn't come here to make troubles.

The most important task is to be responsible for the first test run of the wind tunnel group.

Check it out, the most critical shock tunnel.

See if it can reach the 15 times the speed of sound in the design theory.

The prerequisite is that there is no problem with the power supply of the thermal power plant.

Otherwise, there is no way for the wind tunnel to operate without sufficient electricity.

"It is still in low-power operation, and it is mainly to do some preliminary detection work."

Chu Xuan, who has been dealing with the wind tunnel base for several years, now talks about the progress of these projects in a logical manner.

"However, it has been in trial operation for several weeks, and there are basically no problems."

"It will be running at full power tomorrow."

With Chu Xuan's guarantee, Zhang Xingyang felt a little relieved at this time.

After all, the thermal power plant is an extremely important power supply in the base, which is related to the normal operation of the shock tunnel.

The high-quality anthracite coal formed by millions of years of underground geological activities on the plateau is burning in the boilers of the thermal power station.

Release the chemical energy accumulated by itself, and then convert it into thermal energy, heat the water in the pipeline, form a huge amount of steam, and drive the turbine to do work, thereby generating electricity.

The history of human energy utilization is a history of non-stop heating of hot water.

From ancient times, wood was used to heat hot water, to coal in modern times, to nuclear fission now, to fusion energy in the future.

Boil hot water, God forever!

"YF-21 Shockwave Wind Tunnel, the first test run has officially started!"

The specially customized transformer allows the wind tunnel to receive a huge amount of energy in an instant.

Shock waves were generated instantly in the wind tunnel, simulating the effect of more than ten times the speed of sound.

This test run does not have any scientific research tasks.

Just to check whether the wind tunnel can operate normally.

However, just such a test run, which lasts not even a minute, needs to consume tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity.

The time to actually generate more than ten times the speed of sound even needs to be calculated in milliseconds!

"what's the result?"

After the trial run was completed, Zhang Xingyang couldn't help checking the various data of the wind tunnel operation.

Decasonic has a run time of 125 milliseconds!

Such speed and time, at this point in time, can be regarded as the first in the world!

Ten times the speed of sound, in this world, according to Zhang Xingyang's memory, only Longguo made it.

It took decades for other countries to overcome the technical difficulties of the detonation shock wave wind tunnel!

"Maximum speed experiment, start now!"

After completing the first test run, Zhang Xingyang immediately started the maximum speed experiment.

See what speed it can achieve.

At the beginning of the design, its theoretical limit was fifteen times the speed of sound, but judging from Zhang Xingyang's current live effects.

Maximum speed may be exceeded by some.

In the laboratory, the roar of running in the shock tunnel cannot be heard.

Although the entire running time was only tens of seconds, many experimenters present felt that a century had passed.

Soon, the experimental data appeared in the computer in the laboratory.

Zhang Xingyang watched intently, calculating all the data on the computer with his big butt, and kept calculating in his mind.

"The highest test in the shock tunnel has reached sixteen times the speed of sound!"

There were cheers in the laboratory.

Everyone has paid a lot for the shock tunnel, whether it is time, energy, or some other things.

After all, everyone is a high-quality talent. If you go to work in some big cities at this time, it is not a problem to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

However, everyone is nesting in this place where the birds don’t shit, isn’t it just to see the development of domestic hypersonic wind tunnels.

Now that wish has truly come true!

The follow-up effect of this matter far exceeds other seemingly tall technologies.

With such a hypersonic wind tunnel, the land-based, space-based, and ship-borne hypersonic missiles for the follow-up national defense industry can be regarded as settled.

The foundation of national defense security can be regarded as a solid foundation.

All that remains is to build our missile business with peace of mind!

A week later, when the TV station broadcast the news, it was mentioned a little that the wind tunnel business in our country had reached a new level.

Most people, faced with such a brief newsletter, didn't notice the news.

Even people in the professional field will not think of too many things when they see such news.

After all, too little news has been revealed.

This is also intentional for propaganda, revealing a little bit of information and mixing it with the massive amount of information to paralyze the enemy's perception.

Only after a long time, when our hypersonic speed develops vigorously, will the enemies realize how much gold is contained in such an insignificant piece of news like ours!

"Brother Xingyang, have you heard the latest news from Yingjiang?"

After reading a magazine, Qiao Yang asked Zhang Xingyang who was sitting opposite him curiously.

The two of them were on the train from the plateau back to the institute.

There were only the two of them in the entire train compartment.

Of course, outside the box, there are also secret staff belonging to the national security, who are protecting Zhang Xingyang's personal safety.

It's just that it basically doesn't appear in the sight of two people.

"What message are you talking about?"

Recently, Yingjiang has released a lot of news, and for a while, Zhang Xingyang didn't know which one the other party was talking about.

"About the rod of God."

"Here, this is it!"

At this time, Qiao Yang turned over the magazine in his hand and showed it to Zhang Xingyang.

The above is an article about Eagle Sauce's plan to study the Rod of God, such a space strike system.

The Rod of God is one of the bolder ideas of this era.

They plan to deploy two satellites in low orbit in space, one of which carries a metal rod called the "rod of God".

This metal rod is made of high-density metals such as tungsten and titanium, and can weigh several tons.

Because it is a space-based weapon, it can strike any area on the earth in a very short period of time.

And because it does not rely on any chemical explosives or nuclear charges, there is no pollution, and it is considered a "clean nuclear bomb" in this era.

Of course, this is all an exaggeration by the media. The actual combat power of the Rod of God is not even comparable to a giant ground-penetrating bomb.

Whether it is power or penetrating ability, it is far inferior.

"It's just a fancy gimmick."

After Zhang Xingyang glanced at it, he didn't take it seriously.

After all, in later generations, there have been special experiments to verify that such weapons are useless.

And purely relying on kinetic energy, the trajectory is really easy to predict.

Several countries in the world capable of developing this thing basically have several ways to intercept it.

"Qiao Yang, you can do a mechanical simulation yourself to understand that the power of this thing is actually not as powerful as our rocket launcher's salvo!"

As an expert in mechanics, he can understand what Zhang Xingyang said.

However, Qiao Yang still felt a little novel when he first saw such a weapon concept.

After all, these days, there are actually very few concepts about space-based weapons.

But being bored on the train, Qiao Yang immediately made a simple calculation model using the data he had at hand.

Zhang Xingyang was still watching the question about the configuration of hypersonic missiles.

Generally speaking, there are three technical routes for hypersonic missiles.

Before talking about the technical route, we still need to talk about the issue of missile trajectory.

Ballistic missiles generally have four ballistics at this time.

The first is the most common and oldest ordinary ballistic trajectory, which is actually a parabola.

The second type is Qian Xuesen’s trajectory proposed by Mr. Qian. The trajectory of missiles in this type of trajectory is difficult to predict.

The third is the Sanger ballistic, and the fourth is the boost-glide ballistic.

The first is to adopt a double-cone configuration. Missiles of this configuration generally use Sanger ballistics to glide.

It is first boosted by rockets to above the Karman line at an altitude of 100 kilometers, and then glides and maneuvers near the Karman line.

It is also possible to use a boost-glide trajectory to start sliding at an altitude of 60 to 80 kilometers and attack the target.

The research on the double-cone configuration has been going on for a long time, and the technical difficulty is relatively the lowest among several types.

The second is the configuration of the waverider, which is also a configuration that only we have developed. This configuration is adopted by our country's Dongfeng-17 (it has not yet been born at this point in time).

The missile adopting the waverider configuration can follow the Qian Xuesen trajectory.

And it has a very high lift-to-drag ratio, which means that it can greatly increase the range of missiles at the same level by virtue of its unique aerodynamic shape.

Both in range and in maneuverability, it far exceeds the hypersonic missile in the double-cone configuration.

The third is the scramjet configuration, which is the configuration adopted by Maozi's "Zircon" missile.

It's just that the current domestic scramjet engine doesn't even have a little bit of technical reserves.

Therefore, it is not within the scope of Zhang Xingyang's consideration for the time being.

While Zhang Xingyang was thinking about the development route of the missile, Qiao Yang on one side had already calculated the actual strike effect of the stick of God.

"That's how powerful it is?"

Qiao Yang was a little surprised by the calculation result.

This power is really not as great as the total nitrogen explosive they developed before.

A tungsten rod with a mass of 140 kg hits the ground at a speed of Mach 13.6 from space, and can only create a crater with a depth of 3.2 meters and a radius of 4.7 meters.

Not to mention that it is as powerful as nuclear weapons, it is not even as powerful as 140 kilograms of nitrogen explosives.

If it is a total nitrogen explosive, with an equivalent of 140 kilograms, at least it can create a deep pit with a diameter of about 30 meters!

"That's about the power."

Zhang Xingyang glanced at Qiao Yang's calculation results and said:

"That's not how space weapons are used."

"Hanging two missiles up is more reliable than this!"

In the future, space armaments are also a very important part, but such unpowered kinetic energy weapons are also tasteless.

What really work is the traditional kinetic energy weapon, and the more primitive but more effective stone throwing!

By catching all kinds of meteorites near the earth, after completing the acceleration, the meteorites weighing hundreds of thousands of tons are as powerful as the Tsar's nuclear bomb!

A kinetic energy weapon like the Rod of God can only be regarded as an embroidery needle compared to various meteorites in space!

Of course, this way of fighting also lost its war effect after the construction of the asteroid defense system in the rear dragon kingdom.

It can only be reduced to one after another fireworks in the sky.

"Brother Xingyang, are you planning to use the waverider configuration?"

At this time, Qiao Yang turned his head sideways and looked at the various technical materials in Zhang Xingyang's hands.

It is found that most of them are technical information about the waverider configuration.

"Yes, the advantages of the waverider configuration are very beneficial to us."

"Not to mention anything else, just in terms of ballistic selection, it has a lot of advantages."

Zhang Xingyang said after flipping through the information in front of him.

After all, no matter what, Mr. Qian could barely work at this time.

If you have questions about Qian Xuesen's ballistics, you can definitely get a lot of ideas from him.

"The waverider configuration, the end can't rotate and maneuver, right?"

Although Qiao Yang is not an expert in missiles or rockets, he has read and heard for so many years.

It also taught him a lot about missiles.

"That's true, but the mid-range mobility of the waverider configuration is very good, and it is worthwhile to have weaker end guidance."

The waverider configuration can perform non-stop maneuvers in the middle of the slide, like floating in water.

This can also be regarded as a unique method against the enemy's mid-range anti-missile!

Especially in the field of mid-range anti-missile, Eagle Sauce has invested a lot of funds and technical strength in recent years.

Facing our move, with the configuration of the waverider and Qian Xuesen's trajectory, he couldn't catch it at all!
