After preparing for the next day's meeting, Pan Yunsheng, Li Cunxun and Liu Xiaobin were three people at night.

Japan's successful test-firing of the X-11 ballistic missile became the direct driving force for the Republic to accelerate the construction of the national strategic defense system.

After the meeting began, Zhao Rundong first solicited Pang Xinglong's opinions.

Unlike in the past, Pang Xinglong not only no longer opposes increasing investment in the national strategic defense system, but also promises to add hundreds of billions of investment to the national strategic defense system in the next three years, striving to complete the construction task that was originally planned to take five years to complete within three years.

After Pang Xinglong made a statement, Gu Weimin began to introduce the construction of the national strategic defense system.

Due to factors such as economy, technology, industry, etc., the construction of national defense forces is cyclical. Take the Navy as an example. The cycle of large aircraft carrier warships is 50 years, the cycle of medium-sized warships such as cruisers and destroyers is 30 to 35 years, the cycle of small ships such as frigates is 25 to 30 years, and the cycle of submarines is 20 to 25 years. The national strategic defense system is no exception, and periodicity determines the system construction time.

Starting from 20199, the Republic has accelerated the construction of the national strategic defense system.

The key is that the new production process of composite batteries has been promoted, and private enterprises have been approved to enter the production field of composite batteries. The output of composite batteries above 8 has increased rapidly and the prices have been greatly reduced. In 2020, the output of composite batteries above 8 has reached 2,100~, and is expected to reach 5,000~ in 2021: The technological progress made in related fields has also played a very significant role in promoting the construction progress of the national strategic defense system.

By the end of July 20211, only 20-level composite batteries will be produced: According to the original design, only 2-laser interception systems can be produced. Because scientists have successfully broken through the rapid power transmission technology, using relatively cheap 12-level composite batteries as storage power, the 16-level composite batteries will directly power the laser, reducing the 16-level composite batteries required for each laser interception system to less than 3-level composite batteries, so the 16-level composite batteries produced by the end of 2021 will be sufficient to produce 8 laser interception systems.

In terms of missile interception systems, the emergence of superconducting electronic components has solved the technical problems of seekers.

According to the 20199 land plan, the optimal construction period of the first phase of the national strategic defense system is 7 years. After completing the construction of basic interception capacity, it enters the second phase of construction. It mainly uses existing technology to increase interception capabilities by purchasing more interception weapons. It develops more advanced ground missile interception technology and conducts technical reserves. The construction period of this stage is also 7 years. Starting from 2033, it enters the third phase of construction work. It enhances the combat capability of the national strategic defense system with more advanced technology.

The actual construction period of the national strategic defense system is 1. Not 7 years.

The main basis for determining this cycle is technological development and accumulation speed. As the highest-end national defense construction, the national strategic defense system has more technical requirements than all military systems. Not to mention the Republic. When building the "national missile defense system", the United States also determines the construction cycle based on technological progress and accumulation speed.

Accelerating the construction speed not only requires additional investment, but also depends on whether technical problems can be solved in a timely manner.

Take the air-based laser interception system as an example. In addition to the laser interceptor, it is also necessary to solve the technical problems of land carriers, detection, screening, tracking, aiming, etc. in a short while. According to the original plan, the formal service time of the air-based laser interception system will be after 2035. Even if the service time is advanced to 2027 after the plan is re-formed, it will not be able to meet the new requirements for land at this time.

Although the air-based laser interception system is the most difficult to develop in the national strategic defense system, its significance and practical capabilities are the strongest. It is the backbone of the national strategic defense system.

The United States has been hovering in the direction of the "national missile defense system" for several years, and finally focused on abl.

Only by being able to deploy at the forefront, intercept strategic ballistic missiles, including strategic ballistic missiles over enemy countries, can the air-based laser interception system of cruise missiles be fundamentally ensured that the local area is not hit by strategic weapons.

For the Republic, this problem is more prominent because the Republic is far less geographical than the United States.

The United States has the Atlantic Ocean in the east and the Pacific Ocean in the west. Neighbors at both ends of the north and south are not threatened. Except for strategic nuclear submarines that have the ability to launch missiles in the United States offshore, any country's strategic weapons must fly thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers to attack US local targets.

The Republic does not have this advantage, and there are several "evil neighbors" around it.

Whether it is to deal with Japan, beware of North Korea, beware of India, and beware of Russia, the Republic must focus the national strategic defense system on the "initial stage", that is, intercept it immediately after the enemy launches missiles, rather than waiting until the missile enters outer space and reaches the mainland of the Republic before intercepting it.

With this as the target, the air-based laser interception system becomes the first choice, followed by the sea-based missile interception system and finally the land-based missile interception system.

After introducing the local achievements and development goals, Gu Weimin proposed a new construction plan.

In addition to increasing investment in the development of air-based laser interception systems, we will purchase 8 to 16 carriers in advance, and strive to complete the prototype experiment by early 2024, at 20

To create 8 to 16 systems, in addition to completing infrastructure construction in the two strategies of the Republic in the northeast and east, it is necessary to increase investment in sea-based missile interception systems, and strive to make 8 cruisers and destroyers have missile interception capabilities by 2024, and deploy warships in various waters in the Sea of ​​Japan and the northern East China Sea to fill the loopholes in the empty-based laser interception system.

Because it is mainly targeted at threats from Japan, the development speed of land-based missile interception systems can be appropriately slowed down.

"The key is whether we have the ability to complete the preliminary construction work before 202." Zhao Rundong knocked on the table and turned his attention to Pan Yunsheng.

"We collected relevant information." When Pan Yunsheng introduced the situation, Liu Xiaobin distributed the prepared information to the participants. "The energy supply problem of air-based laser interception system has been solved. The ground test conducted at the beginning of last year successfully destroyed the ground optical equipment on scrapped remote sensing satellites. The experiment also proved the reliability of the target search and tracking technology. A more difficult experiment will be conducted at the end of this year to determine the performance of the search and tracking system. What needs to be solved is the problems existing in the target identification and targeting system. The former requires a high-resolution infrared and ultraviolet phase formation system, and also requires relevant computer mathematical models and analysis software; the latter needs to solve the ground interference of laser transmission during the atmosphere, and the relevant technologies required to continuously track the target."

"What is the specific situation?" Peng Maobang asked.

"It's a little more ideal than we expected, but the difficulty should not be underestimated." Pan Yunsheng picked up the cigarette on the table, "Even if we increase the investment, it is difficult to find more relevant scientific researchers, the development progress may lag. In my opinion, it would be great to complete the test by the end of 2024."

"In other words, it will not take until the second half of 2025 to form practical capabilities?"

Pan Yunsheng nodded and said nothing more.

No one has the attitude towards Pan Yunsheng's analysis. The Military Intelligence Bureau is one of the competent departments for military scientific research and has always been responsible for mastering the highest level of military technology. Pan Yunsheng has been in this industry for decades, and even if he does not have a technical background, he can be regarded as an authority in the military technology industry.

"If this is true, we have to find a way to solve the problem." Zhao Rundong rubbed his forehead and said, "Japan has enough ability to complete the miniaturization of missiles and warheads within three years, produce hundreds of nuclear warheads and hundreds of vehicles, and even have the ability to build strategic nuclear submarines. If we cannot initially build a national strategic defense system within three years, activities in Northeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region will be greatly restricted, and we have to recognize Japan's status as a major power."

"What if it can't be solved?" Gu Weimin asked.

Zhao Rundong smiled bitterly and looked at Pan Yunsheng.

"We can only try our best to get enough time." Pan Yunsheng took two sips of cigarettes. "First, we actively carry out activities in Japan, jointly sanctioned Japan with the United States, Russia and other countries to slow down the speed of Japan's nuclear weapons construction. Second, we make relevant preparations in advance, complete the development and manufacturing work of other aspects such as carriers, and try to compress the interval between the air-based laser interception system from completing the test to forming combat power. Apart from this, we have no other choice."

"The latter depends entirely on our own efforts, while the former depends on the attitude of the United States."

"Perhaps, we can make a fuss about the United States."

Li Cunxun suddenly said something, attracting everyone's attention.

After seeing the supportive eyes that Pan Yunsheng cast, Li Cunxun said: "Japan accelerates the construction of nuclear weapons, and the United States is not having a good time. No matter what, the United States does not want Japan to go too far on this road. We are the only ones who can deal with Japan with the United States. If we make a request, the United States should make concessions."

"You mean, let the United States provide us with relevant technology?"

Li Cunxun nodded. "It is definitely not an open action, but a secret cooperation. Of course, we must make a reciprocal commitment and we must trade technology for technology."

"The question is, what technology can we use to exchange with the United States?"

"If a technology exchange is conducted, will it harm the national interests?"

"The strategic defense system is the cornerstone of national security. The US defense system is aimed at our territory. Why should the United States help us to arm us?"

"Even if it is a exchange of peer technology, the United States may not make concessions."

"You have to be wary of being deceived, and the United States is likely to provide false technology."

...

Li Cunxun's words aroused a lot of troubles, and the discussion suddenly became intense.

Pan Yunsheng smiled bitterly. He is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Only young people like Li Cunxun who have just participated in decision-making meetings dare to come up with such bold ideas.

After a while of discussion, Zhao Rundong put the topic aside.

After asking others to prepare in accordance with the spirit of the meeting, Zhao Rundong kept three comrades from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Obviously, Zhao Rundong is very interested in the idea proposed by Li Cunxun.
