Three Hundred and Thirty Rockets
Ten days later, in a command center in the Arrant area, a general looked helplessly at the engineer beside him, and anyone could easily see the bitterness on his face.
The huge warehouse outside the window opened little by little, and technicians in white coats and army guards came out in twos and threes. If they continued to look, it was a special car full of wheels.
This car is huge and terrifying. At first glance, Kong Wu's powerful front is driving steadily at an anxiously slow speed.
On the back of this car is a huge flat plate with an exaggerated slender rocket on it. On the white rocket body, there is a huge eagle emblem, and below it is "Ailan Hill" written in thick black printing.
"I said, in this case, is it really okay to continue to launch launch vehicles instead of making more missiles?" In the command center, the general turned his hands behind his back, and finally asked.
In his opinion, at such a time, the army should take over a similar command center and mobilize all the forces of the country to serve the war at hand.
But in fact, Ireland Hill's rocket launches have never stopped. Because of production capacity, the number of military missile weapons is actually in a state of reduction.
Yes, really in a reduced state, the Scud missile is now only produced as an improved solid rocket variant. Even, for the manufacture of launch vehicles, the production of Scuds of solid rocket models was intermittent.
At the same time, the front line increasingly likes to use such fast, powerful, and long-range guided weapons, especially the penetration effect. The missiles are far ahead of the bombers.
Even the most advanced B-52 bomber is not as easy to use as the Scud missile in a ground attack within a range of 300 kilometers.
Therefore, the consumption of such missiles is increasing, but the number of manufacturing is far from increasing. Instead, it is decreasing significantly. Therefore, the number of Scud missiles is actually decreasing.
The situation of the Dongfeng HM-5 ballistic missile is even more worrying: after the emergency production of hundreds of missiles, the production of the Dongfeng HM-5 ballistic missile was discontinued!
Yes! Completely discontinued! In the case of the continuation of the war, he was ordered to stop production by His Majesty the Emperor.
After the military has used Dongfeng HM-5 ballistic missiles several times, the number of such missiles has dropped to less than 100, and it is in a state where it can barely maintain nuclear deterrence.
Just think about it and you can understand this situation: it would be rare if Ireland Hill could produce large missiles with sophisticated launch vehicles like sausages.
After all, even on Earth in the 21st century, the most sophisticated country, the United States, is in a state of workshop-like processing in the aerospace industry. Rockets are produced one by one, and the amount accumulated little by little is not mass production of consumable equipment.
Of course, it is not without benefits that the production of Dongfeng HM-5 ballistic missiles is stopped, that is, the factories that are still working overtime and desperately producing rocket products have provided a large number of launch vehicles for the Alan Hill NASA.
It is precisely because of this that Ailan Hill can maintain the exaggerated speed of launching a rocket for a few days, and Ailan Hill's various satellites have exaggeratedly accumulated a sufficient number in this state of war.
"The reconnaissance satellite must cover the entire planet. This is the order of His Majesty the Emperor. We have eliminated the first generation of reconnaissance satellites. You must see the achievements of the spacecraft in intelligence." The engineer standing in front of the general said with a smile, The face answered confidently.
He's not an idiot who's standing here and wasting everyone's time, on the contrary, he's one of the most powerful teachers of aerospace engineering technicians in the Empire.
If you don't count His Majesty the Emperor Chris, he can be said to be the first professional in the country to contact rocket technology. Because of the existence of the knowledge magic ball, his professional level in the aerospace field is definitely the strongest.
"We need satellites so much! In terms of communication, we are building a network that tries to cover the entire planet. Because of technological progress, this network is still being updated while being formed..." Speaking of satellites, he thought it might be a One of the most fascinating technological advancements in Imperial technology in recent times.
"At the same time, we are still building a guidance system called 'God's Eye'. You know, this system is an important part of our next-generation weapon system." After he finished speaking, he gave the general a question you need to understand eyes.
Missiles that rely on inertial guidance cannot threaten moving targets. Even if they carry nuclear weapons with a hit range of hundreds of meters, the lack of precision will seriously affect the strike effect.
But the use of satellite-guided weapons is another matter - the strike accuracy will rise straight to the ten-meter level, and this accuracy can be improved again with the advancement of technology.
Of course, the improvement of accuracy is not the most important advantage. Another major advantage of satellite guidance is the price!
The price of the Tomahawk missile is lower than the price of the Scud, but the hit accuracy is higher - when hitting low-value targets, although the Tomahawk missile has slightly poor performance, the advantage of being cheap and sufficient in quantity is reflected. .
In addition, the development of more types of missiles in the future will require the use of advanced satellite guidance systems, so Chris gritted his teeth and wanted to improve the satellite guidance system as soon as possible to reduce the cost of Alan Hill's attack.
When cheap guided bombs and surface-to-surface missiles begin to enter large-scale service, the cost of war may not come down, but the strike effect of modern weapons will increase exponentially.
This is also the reason why Alan Hill is so crazy to launch rockets and send various satellites into the sky.
"This morning, Dotson launched two Dongfeng HM-5 ballistic missiles. They rewrote the launch procedure and sent two God's Eye satellites to the predetermined orbit." He stared at the huge special trailer, carrying the The huge rocket left the warehouse little by little, and the engineer casually found a topic to chat.
"Two more? Didn't you just launch three Dongfeng HM-5 missiles the day before yesterday and send three geological satellites to the sky?" The general was surprised, looked at the engineer, and asked subconsciously.
"Do you know the role of geological satellites in finding oil and other energy sources?" The engineer glanced at the other party and felt that the other party was simply an idiot who didn't understand the economy of war: "If the army does not have enough oil, you can only command infantry to fight. It's gone!"
"Don't worry, there shouldn't be too many satellite launches using Dongfeng HM-5 missiles in the future." Looking at the general's gloomy face, the engineer reached out and patted the other's shoulder twice, comforting him.
The general was stunned when he heard the news, and then looked at the other party: "This news is very good, do you have any plans in this regard?"
"On the one hand, the new rocket production plant has been put into operation, including a complete set of solid fuel purification equipment... So the pressure is not so great." The engineer still knows the arrangement of rocket production very well, and he casually introduced two sentences: "On the other hand, the number of Dongfeng HM-5 missiles has fallen to the minimum standard of deterrence. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered to find an opportunity to reopen the production line."
"Moreover, due to the improvement of technology, the arrangement of launching satellites with ballistic missiles is not cost-effective for the time being." He continued without waiting for the other party to speak: "This rocket uses the latest technology... It can achieve four stars with one arrow. ."
"What? Four stars with one arrow? You have realized this technology?" The general was stunned and looked at the engineer. He has heard of this technology, which can greatly reduce the cost of satellite launch.
With this technology, Airland Hill's satellite launch speed has been quadrupled, which is a remarkable achievement.
"Don't be too happy. The missile technology department is developing the multi-satellite launch technology for the Dongfeng HM-5 ballistic missile. I heard that it is progressing very quickly." At this time, the engineer poured another basin of cold water on it. military general.
Hearing this, the general gave a wry smile and didn't know what to say. He sighed depressedly and said, "I also know that your work is very important. If this damn war ends tomorrow, you will just take it away. 20 Dongfeng HM-5 missiles, I don't feel bad anymore."
"It's useless to be distressed." The engineer grabbed the walkie-talkie with a smile and commanded: "Keep this speed! Be careful to monitor the vibration on the rocket body! The helicopter unit is far away! A bit farther!"
The new jeep drove ahead, followed by several helicopters overhead. This huge launch vehicle was gradually approaching its launch pad.
Who would have thought that, in the past six months, Ailan Hill actually did not go all out to enter a state of full-scale war, in addition to mobilizing a sufficient number of soldiers.
It is also constantly engaging in infrastructure construction and developing other technical directions. Although most of the technology is related to the military, the civilian technology driven by it is still popularizing and benefiting the people of Ailan Hill at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ceris has begun to popularize cable TV, and everywhere is building eventually outdated towers and various signal generators.
Previous radio communications could cover the long distance between Grecon and Ireland Hill with a weak signal, but now the radio signal is ten times stronger and there is still signal interference.
The development of Ailan Hill is destroying the electromagnetic communication environment of this world. It has proudly used its own electromagnetic channel, so that the latecomers have no channel available...
Of course, according to the current satellite launch speed of Alan Hill, when Greken or the Devil learns to launch artificial satellites, they may not be able to find their own launch orbit!
