Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 32
[Thirty-two.]
The final test of the missile’s main control program was carried out on the latest generation of the Navy’s destroyer, and Lu Zhenyu, who took a look at the information, knew that this “blue bird” had been made with so many tricks.
In addition to the original shore-based launch unit and carrier-based unit, a technician proposed a high-speed blind-firing plan with fighter jets a few weeks ago, and it seems that the Air Force is quite interested.
Originally, the range of the Jade Bird missile is quite long. The range of more than 300 kilometers is very suitable for medium and long-distance missile warfare. Moreover, the Jade Bird really does not care after the launch. Even before the launch, there is almost no need to worry about it. automatic.
According to the original design, Jade Bird originally considered the air-launched model, which can be launched at high subsonic speed, but the crazy technician proposed to input the target and then launch it. Because of the high speed of the aircraft, the missile can glide in the air for a certain distance. Fire it again, and the distance thrown by the flat is the extra range.
The previous missiles could not do this, because most of the pilots needed to continue to observe and guide the missiles to the target, but the blue bird can.
There is even a more extreme usage, which is to input a general sea area for the aircraft carrier cluster, and after the high-speed flat throw, the missile will reach the target and enter the visual distance, and then turn on the radar for terminal guidance, because the Jade Bird itself is still guided by TV and infrared. , even if the radar is not turned on, there is no problem.
These extreme usages made Lu Zhenyu speechless, and these people really dared to think about it.
However, now Lu Zhenyu is holding the title of chief programmer of the Blue Bird Missile Design Team. These modifications are not difficult, so Lu Zhenyu also made a modification plan.
The joint military exercise with South Korea is not an obscure theme such as search and rescue or anti-submarine, but it is clearly a fleet battle, especially the countermeasures against the Aegis-class fleet with the ability to deal with saturated attacks, and the anti-aircraft carrier cluster .
As for who it’s aimed at… that’s not to say.
The first stage of this exercise is a joint exercise between the Chinese and South Korean navies, and the second stage is a simulated confrontation between the Chinese and South Korean navies.
Although the tonnage of the South Korean navy fleet is not high, because they do not live in an environment like China where arms sales are controlled for a long time, the fleet is quite advanced, except for Aegis, everything else it should have.
And this time the Chinese navy is also the best. The modern class purchased from Russia, the Chinese Aegis ship and the stealth missile speedboat developed by itself are all on the stage, and what attracts the attention of many military experts is all the ships, anti-ships The missile positions have been modified with new launchers.
Today’s military experts have very poisonous eyes. By looking at the volume and length of the launcher, they can roughly know the actual length of the missile, and thus estimate a range.
However, the current missile range is not too important, and more important are other characteristics, such as guidance methods and penetration methods.
This time the Chinese navy seems to be very generous, allowing warships and observation ships of several countries around the exercise area to wander.
Lu Zhenyu was placed on the flagship China Aegis 2 destroyer. It is said that it was a new ship that was launched at the beginning of the year, and even the smell of paint did not dissipate.
On the ship, there are several other people from the Jade Bird missile research and development team. Lu Zhenyu has never seen them. Another is the research and development team of the phased array radar of China Aegis. They will be responsible for monitoring the operation of the relevant facilities on the ship. , hoping to obtain further data from this exercise that is extremely close to actual combat.
Lv Zhenyu, who enjoys the officer’s treatment, lived a very comfortable life on the ship, and a small part of the work was also very easy, as long as he used the dedicated interface to connect to the computer and get the data.
As for the flight path data, this kind of thing is useless for the Jade Bird missile, and the trajectory of the Jade Bird missile never repeats.
On the second day of the first round of joint exercises, the Jade Bird missile was tested for the first time in front of the world.
Lu Zhenyu stood on the bridge of the ship, holding a telescope and watching the 173 ship not far away, the
Jade Bird missile was fired.
The highest, flew towards the target ship 280 kilometers away.
This time, the target ships of both countries have also made great efforts. Both the navies of the two countries are on the verge of being scrapped, or old ships that have been scrapped, and even some new equipment such as Phalanx and anti-ship missiles are installed, but Only from remote control.
Anyway, the cost of dismantling the warship to be turned into steel is higher than the cost of modification, and everyone has no scruples.
The Jade Bird missiles did not give the interception facility a chance at all. The two ships fired 6 missiles one after another, all of which hit the waterline.
With the power of the Jade Bird missile, basically if it hits a ship under 10,000 tons of any level in the world, the captain can directly abandon the ship, and there is no need for damage management.
After obtaining a series of data, Lu Zhenyu was not as excited as experts in other fields, because it is difficult to infer the control program of the missile from these data.
Anyway, for Lu Zhenyu, since the missile hit, the control program must be running normally.
When the exercise entered the 24th, the atmosphere was different, because it had entered the stage of simulated confrontation between the Chinese and South Korean navies.
The Jade Bird missiles on all warships have been replaced with dye warheads, and the missiles will detonate far enough away from the opponent to avoid a metal rod traveling at three times the speed of sound piercing the opponent’s hull.
Although some technical soldiers made adjustments, at the request of the fleet commander, Lu Zhenyu flew all the ships by helicopter and re-checked the procedure.
Lu Zhenyu did not expect that he was so involved once because of the madness of the fleet commander.
Fleet Commander didn’t understand the so-called intelligent program, what is the matter with artificial intelligence, only know that the artificial intelligence on the Jade Bird missile is said to be equivalent to birds, since it is equivalent to the wisdom of animals, then let the owner comfort it before using it There’s
no harm…
After returning to the flagship, Lu Zhenyu was already tired and lying down. Repeated helicopter takeoffs and landings at sea is indeed a very exciting thing, but repeated stimulation is not fun.
The South Korean navy, which did not perform well in the previous joint operations, originally wanted to save face in the simulated confrontation with the help of advanced ships, especially advanced electronic equipment. However, no one thought that this simulated confrontation would appear in both fleets at the same time It was over 2 minutes after the radar screen of the other side. A total of 16 missiles were fired by the Chinese fleet, guaranteeing that 8 South Korean warships would have one or two, and the South Korean warships had gathered in almost the same number, and both anti-missile methods had been activated.
To everyone’s surprise, the anti-aircraft missiles and Phalanx artillery installed on the eight South Korean warships did not intercept the blue bird.
At a distance of 500 meters from the target, the Jade Bird missile, which suddenly rose rapidly and exploded in the air, dyed the entire South Korean fleet a fluorescent green.
The clean-up work is very tedious, and it is estimated that these ships will need to be repainted when they go back.
In two minutes, a fleet disappeared like this. The commander of the Korean side and all the soldiers were so angry that they yelled and cursed, but they also felt deep fear in their hearts.
It’s not that they didn’t make interceptions. All interception methods that can be used on the ship are used, from anti-aircraft missiles, phalanx close-in fire cannons to various jamming devices. When intercepting two targets at the same time is too far from the saturation attack intensity , the means on these ships are not much worse than those of the most advanced Aegis-class warships, and now, the results of 16 rounds and 16 are definitely quite embarrassing.
Because the confrontation exercise ended so quickly unexpectedly, the joint exercise commander had to advance the seminar with officials and technical personnel from both sides scheduled for later.
At the naval base in Busan, South Korea, when their Blue Bird missile research and development team stepped into the South Korean naval base from the warship, Lu Zhenyu obviously felt that the officer who led the way for them was a little panicked.
Lu Zhenyu didn’t feel anything, and chatted with the officer who led the way in proficient Korean.
Lu Zhenyu talked about local products and foods in South Korea, and did not involve any technical issues.
But it was so, that the security bureau personnel who accompanied the R&D team were still confused. The documents did not say that Lu Zhenyu could speak Korean.
He had no choice but to follow closely and listen carefully to Lu Zhenyu and the South Korean military officers…
