"The ultimate overload that the human body can bear is actually much greater than their previous acceleration."

The military doctor continued: "But under such an overload, it is certain that the body will experience extreme discomfort."

"Fortunately, test pilots have undergone certain training to be able to continue working under such circumstances."

"So, it's no big deal, right?"

The old chief said after listening.

"It's nothing serious, but if it happens multiple times, we don't know what the consequences will be."

The medic said after looking away from the monitor.

Everyone present can basically understand this matter.

After all, this altitude is infinitely close to the orbital altitude of the satellite.

It exceeds the airspace of many countries.

It's definitely not something that people can come and go with frequently.

Just like astronauts, every time they perform a space mission.

All need a long break.

"Ghost 1 has entered the scheduled flight procedure."

The voice of the test flight crew members came from the intercom.

Their flight this time will be very far away.

Up to 10,000 kilometers.

Most of the time, flying is relying on gliding.

The actual fuel consumption is actually not too much.

During this time, except for some personnel monitoring the status of the aircraft.

Most people are organizing and analyzing the data in the rising stage.

The most dangerous stage of the entire flight is the ascent stage.

This is not just true for test pilots.

The same goes for the aircraft itself.

"The estimated flight time is another 10 hours."

This speed is not too fast.

The maximum flight speed of a bomber is of course more than one thousand kilometers per hour.

But maintaining the highest speed consumes too much fuel and oxidizer.

Limited by the size of the aircraft.

This speed is just right.

It doesn't consume too much fuel, and it's not very slow.

In fact, if aerial fuel replenishment is possible, then this problem can be easily solved.

But now, it is impossible for domestic tankers to fly to this height.

So it is not very realistic to start from this point.

"If the satellite replenishment you mentioned before can be realized, then 24-hour standby cruise can be truly realized."

The old chief said with some emotion.

In fact, the original design plan for the suborbital bomber was an unmanned bomber.

However, due to technical problems, such a manned fighter jet was finally built.

Therefore, a lot of space is needed to carry materials necessary for people's daily lives.

If nothing else, I need oxygen.

At high altitudes, the air is very thin.

It is necessary to carry some pure oxygen or mixed oxygen.

In addition, personnel need a certain amount of space to eat, drink and relieve themselves.

This further reduces the weight of fuel and oxidizer carried.

"We are still exploring satellite replenishment technology."

Zhang Xingyang thought about the relevant technical progress:

"If all goes well, it should be resolved within five years."

Satellite resupply technology.

As the name suggests, high-altitude bombers are resupplied through satellites.

The difficulty of this technology lies in the docking accuracy.

There cannot be any deviation in the docking accuracy between the two.

Otherwise a major accident is likely to occur.

It's possible that the machine will be destroyed and people will be killed.

"Last month, didn't the docking of your unmanned spacecraft and the space station go smoothly?"

The old chief said with some confusion:

"Aren't the technologies of the two similar?"

Last month, "Tiangong-1", which has been in space for several months, was unveiled.

The first docking experiment was ushered in.

This is a docking of unmanned spacecraft.

The main function is technical verification.

Verify the perfection of the spacecraft’s autonomous docking function.

By the way, replenish some fuel for the space station.

After all, the orbital height of the space station is relatively low, and the engine needs to work continuously to maintain the orbital height.

After all, it has not yet left the gravitational range of the earth.

"The difference between the two is quite big."

Seeing that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, Zhang Xingyang quickly explained:

"The main difference is the atmosphere."

"The working altitude of the suborbital bomber is 80 kilometers. Although the atmosphere here is already very thin, it is compared with the space station at an altitude of 300 kilometers.

The atmosphere is still very thick, and the aerodynamic influence is great.

Secondly, the influence of gravity at an altitude of 80 kilometers is still very large.

Unlike at an altitude of 300 kilometers, there is basically not much influence of gravity. "

In fact, this explanation is not quite right. The influence of gravity is mainly determined by centripetal acceleration.

The reason why the space station experiences weightlessness is not because it has escaped the influence of the earth's gravity.

But the speed of the spacecraft is very fast, reaching more than ten kilometers per second.

Centripetal acceleration exactly cancels out the Earth's gravitational acceleration.

However, Zhang Xingyang's explanation was also able to make the old chief understand.

He didn't say much.

"Satellite docking is not very realistic, but if you want the satellite to do something else, it may be more realistic."

Zhang Xingyang thought for a while and said.

"What to do?" the old chief asked curiously.

"For example, how many missiles can be used as armed satellites?" Zhang Xingyang said after looking at the old leader.

This is actually considered to be a repeated jump on the edge of everyone's tolerance line.

Because according to everyone's tacit understanding.

We will not deploy powerful weapons in space.

Such as nuclear bombs and so on.

But capable countries will deploy their own military reconnaissance satellites in space.

So is it okay for my satellite to carry a few self-defense missiles?

In fact, there is no treaty that prohibits this.

The Space Development Treaty only talks about the peaceful development of space.

However, the specific form is not clearly defined.

"This may not be appropriate now."

The old chief thought for a while and gave a tactful answer.

In fact, Zhang Xingyang would know even if the old chief didn't tell him.

In the current peaceful environment, carrying missiles on satellites still challenges everyone's nerves.

So that's what he said.

"Ghost 1 is in normal condition and has entered the southwest airspace."

The sound of routine announcements sounded in the command center.

The Phantom 1 has a very long range.

So it's not flying in a straight line.

Rather, it is tested in a special way.

That is flying around the entire western border.

Complete the flight of 10,000 kilometers.

Then return the same way.

"What do you think about the application of strategic bombers?"

Zhang Xingyang asked the old chief a question casually.

He also wanted to draw the other party's attention away from the armed satellite just now.

"Strategic bombers are currently only being studied by a few countries like ours."

The old chief first recalled something.

"A few decades ago, everyone would conduct this part of the research out of consideration for a triad nuclear strike."

"So, the role of strategic bombers is of course to carry nuclear bombs."

The old chief's answer was straightforward.

It was not beyond the expectations of everyone present.

Although Zhang Xingyang and the others had previously developed a super explosive, total nitrogen anion salt.

But compared to the explosion efficiency of nuclear particles, it is still much lower.

A small nuclear warhead weighing tens of kilograms has the equivalent of tens of thousands of tons of TNT.

It is still much scarier than the total nitrogen anion salt!

"Of course, but it would be better to bring air-launched hypersonic nuclear missiles."

Zhang Xingyang affirmed the old leader's point of view and said.

Today's nuclear bomb development is very complete.

Nuclear bombs of different types and functions are studied by various countries.

Large-yield nuclear bombs are rarely used these days.

After all, although the explosion yield is large, a large part of it is wasted in the sky and the earth.

If you want to achieve maximum killing efficiency, you still have to look at neutron bullets.

"Can your air-launched hypersonic missile be installed in a suborbital bomber?"

The old chief asked in surprise.

Since Zhang Xingyang mentioned this matter, it means that they have made considerable gains in this regard.

"Previous hypersonic air-launched anti-ship missiles were a bit of a waste when mounted on suborbital bombers."

Zhang Xingyang nodded and said:

"But it can indeed be installed. We are now studying missile warheads that can carry out accurate strikes."

"If the research is successful, the impact will be much stronger than before."

The old chief really didn't know about this.

During the previous period, he had basically been negotiating with Yingjiang for injuries.

There isn't much time for this part of the job.

"So how far have you researched it now?"

"I remember your branching technology, isn't it very weak?"

The old chief wanted to know what progress they had made during this period.

"Differential guidance technology is really not a problem for us."

Zhang Xingyang touched his chin and said:

“What’s more difficult now is another focus.”

"I also said just now that what we want is not only a guided strike, but also a precise hit."

"The difficulty lies in accurate hitting, which places too high requirements on the warhead."

"Especially on the compute unit."

The old chief nodded. He knew a lot about branching guidance technology.

It is indeed not an easy task to achieve precise strikes.

I was just about to comfort Zhang Xingyang.

I heard Zhang Xingyang say.

"So, we are preparing to build an EUV production base to produce various chips ourselves."

The old chief was about to comfort him when he heard him say this.

I almost spit out the fragrance.

Fortunately, I held back.

"You want to build a chip production base?"

"Do you have that much money?"

"And do you have any skills?"

The old chief asked three questions directly.

"Yes." Zhang Xingyang looked at the old man next to him in surprise.

This old man didn't know what was wrong.

“We only provide half of the money, about 20 billion.

The remaining half will be paid by Jiangcheng in various ways, including land and policies. "

"Technology, in fact, we started exploring and developing it four years ago, and today it is 90% complete."

The old chief was a little stunned. He didn't know how to express his feelings.

Who would have thought of a unit that makes missiles and rockets.

Did you suddenly start making chips?

But the old chief finally accepted this fact.

“It’s indeed good for you to do this.

Our country's chip industry is still in its infancy.

It would be good for us to have more people join in.

If you need any help, just tell me directly. "

In fact, just the various types of chips that the Rocket Research Institute needs every year are now a very huge number.

So don’t worry, there will be no customers after the base is built.

The Rocket Academy itself will be its largest customer.

"Speaking of which, I really need your help with something."

Zhang Xingyang's eyes lit up after hearing the other party's promise.

"If you need help with anything, just ask.

If I can help, I will never refuse. "

The old chief said with great pride

"After our production base starts production, can you help us give instructions in each system?"

The old leader has worked for decades and has countless disciples and former officials in the entire military industry and aerospace system.

So if he can come forward, he might be able to bring in a lot of orders.

The major customer of the production base is the Rocket Research Institute.

But if you can sell more, you can also increase your income a lot.

"There is nothing wrong with this matter. They are not outsiders."

The old chief did not refuse. After all, this matter was a win-win situation.

"However, there is an ugly saying in front of me. If the quality of your chips is too poor, don't blame me if others don't want them."

"If it's a quality problem, you don't need to tell me, I'll just smash the chip!"

Zhang Xingyang said directly.

The old chief nodded.

After all, it is estimated that this matter will take some time.

The site for the production base has not yet been built.

So after the two reached a verbal agreement, they didn't say much more.

Instead, we continued to talk about suborbital fighter jets.

"The types of missiles it can carry now are still relatively small." The old chief said with some dissatisfaction.

"There are only a few types in total."

Say so.

In fact, there are only two types of missiles that can be carried.

And they are all modified from the previous hypersonic anti-ship missiles.

Changed a ground attack version.

The anti-ship version has been retained, but some modifications have been made in order to adapt to the built-in magazine.

"We can continue to work on several different types of missiles in the future."

Zhang Xingyang nodded and said, "But conventional missiles are of little use to it."

As a strategic bomber, its positioning is very clear.

That is used to strike against the enemy's important ground targets and water targets.

Including ground radar stations, command centers, airports and other ground targets.

As well as important water targets such as aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships.

So except for hypersonic missiles.

So ordinary cruise missiles are actually not very meaningful.

"If it can't have the final say, then it's better not to let the missiles go idle."

"Otherwise, it will easily attract the enemy's counterattack and attention, which is not conducive to one's own concealment."
