"Driver Li, the design work of Dongfeng One is very difficult."
"It will take at least two more years for the Fifth Institute to complete the preliminary development work."
Dongfeng One is in The guidance adopts the most advanced radio relay command + terminal semi-active radar homing guidance technology in the world.
These two technologies are currently considered top technologies in both Xiaomei’s and Lao Maozi’s families.
Guidance technology is second, and the most critical thing is the power system of Dongfeng-1.
Originally, according to the opinions of some leaders within the Fifth Academy, Dongfeng-1 should use the same fuel engine as the P-A missile.
This is an engine that we can import from Lao Maozi, which can reduce the difficulty of development.
Mr. Qian was far-sighted and put forward the principle that it is better to build than to buy.
After discussion, the Fifth Academy finally decided to use a liquid fuel engine and 4 solid fuel boosters to provide power on Dongfeng-1.
Once this world's most powerful rocket (missile) power configuration is successfully developed, it can also be used to launch the country's first satellite to achieve the "one-star" goal.
Although Li Aiguo got the Sam 5 from Lao Maozi as a prototype, it was extremely difficult to manufacture the guidance system and power system.
In fact, after learning about the plans of the Fifth Institute, Li Aiguo was somewhat impressed by their courage and determination to complete the design and manufacturing work within two years.
This admiration reached its peak when I learned that Mr. Qian had not gone back to rest for two consecutive months.
Mr. Qian originally lived in a big house abroad, ate foreign bread, and fulfilled his life dreams in the most advanced laboratory.
Now we have to solve the world's most cutting-edge rocket engine problem in a simple laboratory.
"Mr. Qian, why are you working so hard?"
Mr. Qian took a sip of tea and looked at Li Aiguo with a smile: "Dream, my dream when I was young was to learn the most advanced science and technology and contribute to Chinese people strive for glory and glory for their motherland. < br>
Now the dream has changed a bit. Use advanced science and technology to create advanced equipment to ensure that we will never be bullied by others."
Li Aiguo was silent for a moment and raised his hand. Mr. Qian saluted.
——
Leave the fifth courtyard.
Li Aiguo returned to the weather station.
Before I had time to take a sip of tea, the farmer walked in from the outside angrily.
His face was livid. After sitting down, he drank two enamel jars of tea to relieve his anger.
“These old guys are actually planning to take advantage of the situation.”
Li Aiguo asked: "What's wrong?"
The farmer said: "The superiors hope that Lao Maozi can deliver the Sam-II to us in advance, but Lao Maozi actually mentioned the long-wave radio station again."
Li Aiguo didn't ask any more, he already knew the outcome of the transaction.
We have always insisted on independence and will never give in.
Sam-II seems to be hopeless.
The enemy's U2 can come and go freely in the sky. Even if the enemy's flight time is known, there is nothing they can do to it because of the lack of weapons.
Sure enough, in this world of the jungle, weakness is the original sin!
Li Aiguo clenched his knuckles so hard that he secretly vowed to take out all the equipment in the system and feed the currently weak rabbits into giant rabbits.
At this moment, a figure appeared at the door of the office and saluted the farmer.
“Report to the chief, the old cat reports to you!”
Li Aiguo was stunned when he saw the person coming.
The visitor was none other than Comrade Laomao, the leader of the five-person team. Compared with last year, Laomao's skin had become rougher and darker due to the strong winds in the Gobi Desert.
He has also lost a lot of weight, which shows that life in the Gobi Desert is much harder than in the mainland.
"Old Cat, weren't you over there in the Gobi Desert? Why did you come back?"
The farmer explained: "U2 may pose a threat to the Gobi Desert, so I specially sent Old Cat to Bring it back.”
It doesn’t matter other facilities in the country, the enemy must not find them in the Gobi Desert.
Although Old Mao should be running all the way, he couldn't care less about rest at this time. He introduced the camouflage situation in the Gobi Desert in detail.
After listening to the report, the farmer realized the seriousness of the problem.
“Let’s go to the headquarters.”
The farmer took the old cat to the door, suddenly stopped again, and looked at Li Aiguo: “Comrade driver, you come too ”
Headquarters! Li Aiguo suddenly became excited when he learned that he could go to the headquarters.
To be able to stage such a big battle this time, the level of the commander-in-chief will definitely not be lower.
Being able to appear in the commander-in-chief is already an honor in itself.
The black car ran along the streets of Beijing, turning left and right, and finally arrived at a base in the suburbs.
There were heavily armed soldiers on duty outside the base. When they saw the car approaching, a group of soldiers ran over quickly.
The farmer did not get out of the car or roll down the window. When the soldiers saw the license plate number, they immediately saluted the car and opened the door.
The car continued to move forward and entered the base.
The so-called base looks like a military camp in the capital. On the large playground in the distance, Li Aiguo can see soldiers conducting training missions.
As soon as the car stopped, a female combat staff officer wearing a "50-style" cadre uniform came up quickly.
This was the first time Li Aiguo saw a female staff officer, and he couldn't help but take a second look.
The female staff officer is probably in her twenties, wearing a large-brimmed hat and a dark blue stand-up collar dress with 4 buttons, two chest pockets, and tight cuffs.
On the clothes are the words "Air Force". He was wearing dark blue pants.
It seems that there is only one feeling, and that is "Sa".
The female staff officer was very alert. Li Aiguo only glanced at her twice before she noticed.
The female staff officer’s expression did not change at all, and she saluted the farmer.
"The commander-in-chief is waiting for you in the office."
"Lead the way."
The female staff officer turned around and walked quickly ahead, and the farmer followed behind with Li Aiguo and the old cat.
After a while, the female staff officer opened the door of an office and saluted the chief sitting behind the desk.
“Report, the comrades from the weather station are here.”
"Commander Bai, please go down first."
The female staff officer closed the door of the office behind her when she left.
Li Aiguo finally met the commander-in-chief of this operation at this time.
The commander-in-chief is different from other leaders. His uniform is well-kempt and his leather shoes are always polished. At this time, he is listening to the deputy commander-in-chief's report on air defense work in various places with a serious face.
Li Aiguo recognized at a glance that the commander-in-chief was none other than "Mr. Lei" who had studied at Lao Maozi's Frunze Military Academy.
There is a saying circulating in the Air Force: "Don't be afraid of hardship, don't be afraid of death, just be afraid that Mr. Lei will come to lecture you."
This shows the severity of Mr. Lei.
In later generations, it was Mr. Lei who personally took command and destroyed the enemy's U2.
Unexpectedly, due to the butterfly effect in this year, U2 was discovered in China in advance, and it was still Mr. Lei who carried the banner.
At this time, Mr. Lei also noticed Li Aiguo and others.
"It's the farmer brother here." He greeted him personally.
"This is Lao Mao, and this is Driver Li. It is thanks to Driver Li that U2 was found this time."
The farmer introduced his subordinates to Mr. Lei.
After Mr. Lei shook hands with Lao Mao, he enthusiastically held Li Aiguo's hand.
“Little comrade, thanks to you this time, otherwise we would have been bullied and we wouldn’t have known.”
"Chief, this is what I should do." Li Aiguo felt a little excited and straightened his chest.
Lei Gongye is one of the few "foreign bread" senior commanders in China. He is a famous general with extremely modern military literacy and is known as the "Victorious General".
Even Li Aiguo felt proud to be praised by such a chief.
"Good boy, you are a bit aggrieved to follow the farmers. You should join our air force." Mr. Lei joked.
"Old Liu, you are the only one who can do it in front of me."
Mr. Lei sighed: "There is no way. Our air force is really poor now and urgently needs advanced fighters and excellent talents. Otherwise, we will not be troubled by the enemy's U2."
Tips and U2, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became depressing.
The farmer pointed at the old cat: "Do you still remember what I was worried about? This comrade old cat is the comrade in charge of security work in the Gobi Desert."
"Old cat, you put the Gobi Desert Report the situation on the beach to Lao Liu. "
Old Mao took out the detailed information on the Gobi Desert and handed it to Mr. Lei.
Mr. Lei adjusted his glasses frames and studied the information carefully.
After half an hour, he put down the information and looked at the old cat sharply: "So, you are not completely sure that you can hide it from the eyes from the sky?"
Old Mao didn't mean to cover up at all, and said directly and decisively: "Chief, I'm going to The former Gobi Desert is in the stage of infrastructure construction.
Although we immediately stopped the construction work after receiving the notice and did some camouflage work,
the huge base and railway tracks are still very large. Easily seen by the enemy.”
Mr. Lei's face became visibly serious.
The deputy commander who had been standing nearby said: "Maybe the enemy's target is not the Gobi Desert, we are just making a false alarm."
"I hope so, the big mushroom is the most important thing to the country Weapons are related to whether we can no longer be controlled by others in the future and whether we can avoid blackmail by others. There must be no problems. "
Mr. Lei nodded and continued: "According to the information provided by the farmer, the enemy will sneak in for reconnaissance on the 9th, 12th, and 21st, and order the southeast coast and inland air defense forces. Turn on all the radars, and we will definitely shoot down U2 when we get the chance."
"Yes!" The deputy commander nodded.
The general headquarters originally mobilized only coastal air defense units.
After realizing that the Gobi Desert might be exposed, air defense forces in various regions including the southeast, southwest, northwest, and central regions were also mobilized.
On the 9th, traces of U2 were found in the coastal and northeastern areas. It was still because of the lack of missiles with sufficient height that they could only watch U2 slip away.
The night of July 12th.
The base is brightly lit.
The phones in the headquarters were ringing one after another, and the combat staff continued to receive calls from various places reporting on the situation.
"Suspicious targets appeared on the radar of the Reconstructed 217th Air Defense Battalion."
"543 determined that the suspicious targets were three U2s."
"Traces of U2s were found in Quanzhou."
"Shou County."
"Anyang." "What, Taiyuan's radar also reacted, I understand."
Because the current domestic air defense firepower is basically anti-aircraft artillery, owned by the artillery force, so the artillery headquarters also Two chiefs were sent to join in the command work.
Lei Gongye, a group of combat staff, and the artillery chief stood in front of the big map, constantly issuing various instructions and ordering the air defense firepower in various places to prepare to meet the enemy.
There are several enamel jars on the table. The large map on the wall exudes an old luster under the dim light. The black crank telephone is rattled by the staff. There are The radio made a beeping sound from time to time.
The air was filled with noisy sounds,
Li Aiguo was among them, and he felt like he was on the frontline.
Especially being able to fight side by side with a leader of the level of Mr. Lei, Li Aiguo's blood was pumping and his heart was pounding.
The only pity is.
As a comrade in the special department, Li Aiguo was unable to participate in the specific work. At this time, he was carrying a pen as a map marker.
Along with the phone calls, black dots were marked on the large map hanging on the wall.
The black dot represents the flight trajectory of U2.
6◇9◇书◇Bar
Looking at the black spots gradually increasing, U2 broke through each barrier and gradually penetrated deeper inside, everyone's faces turned livid.
Everyone hopes to find an opportunity.
A chance to possibly knock U2 down.
The time came to four o'clock in the morning unknowingly, and this hope became illusory.
The conference room fell into silence, and only the hands of the clock used for timing could be heard turning and making a "嘘嘚" sound.
The atmosphere gradually became tense.
Dingle bell. The shrill phone ringing.
The combat officer suddenly picked up the phone, muttered into the receiver for a while, and then put it down.
"Reporting to the head, 543 has been confirmed, U2 has left." The hoarse voice of the combat staff was trembling a little at this time, his shoulders were shrugged, and the whole person seemed to be a little shorter.
The words fell.
There was silence in the headquarters.
A look of anger appeared on everyone's faces.
The moment U2 was illuminated by 543's radar, he realized that his traces were exposed.
The other party dared to sneak in arrogantly. It was obvious that he didn't take this side seriously.
The most humiliating thing is that the other party succeeded.
This is similar to a thief sneaking into the house in a brazen manner.
The thief did not steal anything. Instead, he pulled a big lump on the kang, then kicked the door open and left with his hands behind his back.
And you can only watch this scene helplessly under the surveillance camera.
Humiliation, like a blazing fire, surges wantonly in everyone's chest, burning their reason and self-esteem.
The atmosphere in the headquarters was extremely solemn, almost solidifying into ice.
At this moment, a voice sounded.
“The enemy’s target has been determined.”
The sound was like a sledgehammer breaking ice into pieces.
Everyone broke away from their anger and turned to look at the marker.
While everyone was waiting for the results, only the marker frowned in front of the map, not thinking about U2 who was about to slip away.
The deputy commander-in-chief reminded: "The enemy's true goals are related to the formulation of the combat plan, and you must not speculate on your own."
The implication of his words is obvious. The best air force in the country is gathered here. Talents, the best combat staff.
As a member of a special department, Li Aiguo is not suitable to express opinions.
The farmer was also a little surprised by Li Aiguo's behavior. After all, in his impression, Li Aiguo was not that reckless person.
"Old Liu, don't be offended. This little apprentice of mine has a straight temper, and sometimes his ideas are so wild and unconstrained that it makes you laugh."
The farmer directly called Li Aiguo "little Apprentice" shocked many people.
Today, the farmer, like Li Aiguo, was wearing casual clothes. The staff officers who originally wanted to stop Li Aiguo did not know the farmer’s specific identity, but they could guess who the commander-in-chief was talking and laughing with the farmer. Share.
Now that the master has come forward on behalf of his apprentice, the staff who were originally planning to stop him all stood still.
"Old Chen. This young comrade was the first to discover U2." Mr. Lei also realized the farmer's intention.
He waved his hand at the deputy commander-in-chief, and then looked at Li Aiguo with warm eyes: "Little comrade, we don't have a talk show here. If you have any ideas, just say it."
Li Aiguo also knew that he was a "marker" in the general headquarters.
My behavior just now was a bit reckless.
But the matter was urgent, and he couldn't care so much.
Hearing Mr. Lei’s words, Li Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a pen and connected the black dots on the map with three lines.
"This is the flight path of U2 on the 6th."
"This is the flight path of U2 tonight." Li Aiguo drew three more lines on the map with a pen.
“Can you see anything?”
The deputy commander-in-chief was a little indifferent to Li Aiguo.
But as six twists and turns of flight routes appeared on the map, his face suddenly became solemn.
“These six flight routes are getting closer and closer.”
Just when the deputy commander was about to say the code name of the location, Mr. Lei’s voice sounded and interrupted him.
"Deputy Commander, please pay attention!"
The deputy commander woke up with a start this time and quickly shut his mouth.
Growing mushrooms in the Gobi Desert is a secret among secrets. Only the deputy commander-in-chief and three people from the meteorological department in the headquarters know about it.
Lei Gongye looked at the combat staff officers: "Everyone has worked hard tonight, let's go back and rest for now."
"Yes!" A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the combat staff officers, but there was no Anyone with any questions.
They saluted Mr. Lei, turned around and left.
Before leaving, Staff Officer Bai took a deep look at Li Aiguo.
After the door of the conference room was closed again, the deputy commander continued: "This young comrade's speculation is very reasonable. U2's flight path has a tendency to approach the Gobi Desert."
Mr. Lei also nodded: "Maybe next time, U2 will be able to fly over the Gobi Desert."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the few remaining people in the room turned ugly.
Everyone knows the enemy's attitude toward our mushroom cultivation plan.
Once the mushroom greenhouse is discovered by the enemy, the only result can only be
No, this must not be allowed to happen!
Li Aiguo stared at the map, trying to find a feasible strategy.
However, the flying height of U2 is more than 20,000 meters, which is beyond the reach of domestic artillery. This means that any efforts are in vain.
"It would be great if the enemy's U2 suddenly malfunctioned." The farmer squinted at the map.
"It takes three U2s to malfunction at the same time. How is this possible?!" The deputy commander smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The probability is about the same as the stars falling from the sky."
The stars falling from the sky U2 Something went wrong! Li Aiguo seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned to look at Lao Mao: "U2 will take action again, when will it be?"
"According to speculation, it should be July 21st." Lao Mao felt strange. Because this date was guessed by Li Aiguo, he has forgotten it now.
Of course Li Aiguo did not forget it, just to make sure.
Because this date may be related to whether U2 can be brought down.
The commander-in-chief was deep in thought at this time. He was awakened by the conversation between the two and asked: "Little comrade, what can you do?" When the time comes, shoot them all down." Li Aiguo climbed along the pole and recognized the farmer as his master.
At this time, Li Aiguo was explaining his opinions. Even if the farmer wanted to stop him, he could not speak.
Hey, this kid is playing tricks on my old man.
Forget it, just reluctantly accept this apprentice. The farmer pricked up his ears and continued to listen.
When the deputy commander heard this, his eyes widened: "What kind of method is this? You are a divine fortune teller. Can you predict when the enemy's U2 will malfunction?!"
"Don't tell me, I will He's really good at making plans." Li Aiguo went through the plan in his mind, and his mood gradually calmed down.
The strange thing is.
Li Aiguo said halfway, but did not continue, but sat back on the chair again.
The farmer frowned slightly.
He felt that his apprentice's behavior today was too weird.
In the past, if he had any ideas, this kid would always put them forward without hesitation.
Today, I was acting coy, as if I was showing off.
This kid has learned to play tricks at some point. If there is a chance, he should give it a try.
The farmer slandered a few words, and said to Li Aiguo with a cold face: "Stop showing off, the commander-in-chief is still waiting."
The commander-in-chief nodded: "Little comrade, we are in a difficult situation now. Any plan that may reverse the situation can be put forward."
"Chief, you may not know me, I like to read books and newspapers the most. , I saw in an astronomical data a while ago that the Purple Mountain Observatory predicts that there may be violent activities on the sun on July 15. To put it simply, the sun There is an earthquake.
In the earthquake, the material on the sun will be shaken into the universe and then float to our earth. These materials will affect various electronic devices.
And U2 relies on electronic devices for navigation and even control."
Under the dim light, Li Aiguo spoke slowly and told the plan.
In Li Aiguo's memory, on July 15, 1959, the Earth observed that the sun suddenly erupted into a huge flame and emitted violent solar wind.
At first, astronomical observatories around the earth didn't pay much attention. They just thought it was an ordinary solar coronal mass eruption, and no preventive measures were taken around the world.
Unexpectedly, this explosion was the strongest solar flare recorded in history.
On July 21, when this violent solar wind hit the Earth's sky, it suddenly slowed down the Earth's rotation by 0.85 milliseconds.
On this day, many earthquakes occurred around the world.
At the same time, it is affected by strong solar wind.
The geomagnetic field also experienced violent disturbances called "magnetic storms", and global communications were suddenly interrupted, causing some aircraft and ships that relied on compasses and radio navigation to suddenly become "blind" and "deaf."
If we can take advantage of the influence of the solar wind and prepare in advance on July 21, we may have a high chance of shooting down U2.
Of course, Li Aiguo had no way to directly point out that this abnormal solar activity was actually a strong solar flare.
