Chapter 1344 Our actions have already unfolded, and there is no secret to it
Just a month after Jing Zhiyuan visited Huairou Science City.
The western part of Longyuan Province.
The second artillery effect test range.
Wang Hongrang, director of the shooting range, was wearing a thick explosion-proof suit and sampling and measuring next to a charred crater. From time to time, he picked up the camera hanging on his chest to take pictures of various wreckage scattered around him. .
After the verification bomb test two and a half years ago, it entered a long period of tranquility.
After all, ballistic missile test launches are very costly, and the preparation period is very long. Frequent test launches will also cause unnecessary external pressure, so it is impossible to fight several rounds like artillery or light weapons when encountering problems.
What's more, here is mainly responsible for the verification and testing of new technologies and new tactics, and there are other military-level shooting ranges responsible for daily training.
It was not until about a year ago that various engineering equipment entered the site one after another and a new round of site renovation began.
Mainly, laying a standard rail with a total length of about 10 kilometers, containing two sections of quarter arc-shaped rail with a radius of 1,100 meters, and pre-installing enough spare materials to allow for each test shot to hit Can be repaired quickly.
Of course, such a big effort is definitely not to test the hit accuracy or damage effect of ballistic missiles on railways.
But it is necessary to simulate an aircraft carrier in maneuver through "dry land boating" to test the positioning ability of the Dongfeng 21D's radar-guided warhead to move targets.
This project seems simple, but due to the special geological conditions and harsh climate of the Gobi Desert, it is not as easy as expected to be implemented.
What's more, for radar, the reflection characteristics of the ground are completely different from those of the water surface.
When the bomb test was verified, the feasibility of the synthetic aperture radar guidance solution was verified by the way, so it was just to simply and roughly raise the contrast.
But for a service model that really needs to perform anti-ship missions, more tactical issues need to be considered.
So, until three days ago, the first test task in more than two years had been completed.
A warhead equipped with a simulated warhead was launched from about 2,000 kilometers away, hitting a simulated target that was traveling in a straight line at a speed of 30km/h and transformed from an internal diesel locomotive.
Although it does not contain charges and the hit position is not the center of the circle, the drop-off speed of nearly 2000m/s still brings huge energy, igniting the diesel in the target and inducing it A second explosion that was not severe caused the wreckage to scatter far exceeds the expected level, and more data was needed to restore what happened at the time of the hit.
While wearing fully enclosed protective clothing and searching for such a large area under the scorching sun in the midsummer is obviously not a relaxing job.
Even though Wang Hong has not given up on exercise over the years, he still needs to rest for a while every about half an hour.
The daily work of the shooting range is basically so boring.
But on this day, when he left the work area for the third time, he found that there was a slightly less common figure under the pergola in the safety area.
His old friend, Chiu Yijun, political commissar of the shooting range.
"Lao Qiu?"
Wang Hong asked to take off his helmet and looked at the other party unexpectedly: "Why are you here at the shooting range?"
The leader combination of the effect test shooting range is more in line with the stereotype, and the political commissar is studying explosions and Theory of damage and relatively bookish, the key is that you do not have the relevant qualifications for explosive discharging operations, and you work in the camp most of the time.
Qiu Yijun did not answer immediately, but took two steps forward and approached Wang Hongreng: "Zhou Shuguang, the confidential secretary of the Second Artillery Operations Department, arrived at our shooting range an hour ago and said there was a Important orders must be conveyed, and we two chief officials must be present at the same time."
This title stunned the latter: "Combat Department?"
The effect shooting range is a military scientific research unit in its organization and is directly under the Second Artillery Headquarters. Its daily work is basically in accordance with the Equipment Department. Docking.
Apart from routine meetings, I rarely deal with the combat department.
Qiu Yijun thought he was full of vigilance, so he quickly explained:
"There is a letter of introduction signed by General Jing and a sealed by the headquarters, and I have seen Zhou Shuguang before, so it will not be fake."
Wang Hongrang did not think about such a wild place. On the one hand, it was fake. It is very difficult to pass military orders. On the other hand, even if someone really wants to cause trouble, he will not come to them, where there are not even a hundred guns.
However, this extra sentence made him slow down, and he quickly signaled a non-commissioned officer from afar to come, and with the help of the other party, he took off his heavy protective suit.
"Let's go..."
Forty minutes later, the two finally met Colonel Zhou Shue in the combat command room.
After saluting each other and sitting down separately, Wang Hong asked his head to look at his wrinkled training uniform: "I'm really sorry, I just came back from the work area and sweated all over my car. It's so cold..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shuguang waved his hand: "Don't worry, I understand the actual situation of the front-line business unit, and we are not here to check the military line this time He was very military..." As he said that, he took the briefcase from a lieutenant next to him and took out a file bag from it.
After disassembling it, there is a red-headed document inside.
What surprised Wang Hong was that there were only a few lines of content on the file.
[The second artillery effect shooting range is now ordered to suspend the current testing task, and give priority to cooperating with the 8th Brigade of the Engineering and the 810th Brigade to complete the No. 3 target area renovation and expansion project, and wait for further instructions...]
"We obey our superior's instructions, but..."
Qiu Yijun hesitated for a moment:
"However, the No. 3 target area has only a preliminary plan. Not to mention the facilities and equipment, even the design plan has not been completely confirmed. I am afraid that it will not be able to start construction in a short period of time, right?"
Since it is an order, That must be executed.
But the People's Army has always attached importance to military democracy and has not avoided the officers and soldiers raising their own doubts. "This time it is a brand new test requirement. All previous plans for the No. 3 target area have been invalidated. The new plan is being formulated by experts from the Engineering Corps and will be notified to you as soon as it is formed. ”
Zhou Shuguang replied:
"As for efficiency issues... the Logistics Department will do its best to ensure your material, personnel and equipment needs. If necessary, it can also mobilize some personnel from the Army. However, you need to plan the confidential gradients in different areas in advance, and the core part can only be composed of 8 projects. The brigade is responsible for completing it. "
No mistakes, one poem, one content, one in one 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Hearing this, Wang Hongrang and Qiu Yijun couldn't help but look at each other.
The two of them saw a little shock in each other's eyes.
Obviously, this is a more special and more confidential task than two and a half years ago.
"Yes!"
The two answered in unison.
…
Similar to the situation in the effect range, as the gliding superb project entered the engineering development stage, almost half of the military system and the Second Artillery Force were acting around related work ...
As for the core technical team responsible for the development tasks, they also entered a high-intensity working state of two shifts in a row.
In Huairou Science City.
Chang Haonan reads a summary of his work situation last month as usual.
After determining the design idea of the series-type combined wave multiplication body, the progress of work progress gradually began to accelerate.
In just one month, there was only a conceptual model of outline and structure, but a lot of details had been added.
Especially in terms of longitudinal control strategies, a set of separate feedback loops has been specially set up.
Although the gliding flying body will not change its weight due to fuel consumption, it still has a very high accuracy requirement for the reentry angle because it has to go through multiple rounds of bounce actions similar to rafting.
Once the deviation exceeds 3°, it may cause the drift and re-enter the atmosphere in advance.
The test shot failed at that time will be a trivial matter. If it affects the safety of ground facilities on the flight path, it will be a real big trouble.
No matter how confident you are, you still have to be more careful about safety matters.
But as he flipped through, Chang Haonan suddenly found that this summary report had taken out a section alone to count the material and electricity consumption over the past period of time.
This made him feel a little funny and joked at Xing Muchun next to him: "I said Lao Xing, our project... should not be short of this funding and resources, right?"
The latter did not show a joke, but answered seriously:
"It's not a question of money..."
"It's added to this part to be the same as before In comparison, in the past month, our average daily electricity consumption has increased by 150% compared with the previous month, and the number of vehicles transporting supplies is more than three times that of the original... I am worried that it will attract some unnecessary attention."
As an old engineer from the 921 project, Xing Muchun's sensitivity in this regard is indeed unspeakable.
Chang Haonan thought for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Science City, military industry departments, Second Artillery Forces, shooting range... All such big moves have been carried out, there is no secret. "
"The sudden increase in vehicle entry and exit frequency and average daily electricity consumption of Science City will definitely attract the attention of those who are interested, but now that things have come to this point, considering that such a big job could not be completely kept secret, Efficiency is definitely the first priority."
" Moreover, even from the perspective of intelligence, delaying for too long can easily lead to long nights and dreams. Instead, it is better to cut the mess quickly and give them one before the other party reacts. Surprise! ”
