Chapter 701 Beidou takes off

"Mr. Qin is really amazing. When we talked about Dongfeng 21d, Mr. Qin actually knew that it was an anti-ship ballistic missile." Mr. Huang said, "Mr. Qin, how did you know?"

If someone else had said this, it might have caused a lot of trouble, and they would have had to carefully investigate how this codename was leaked. But with Qin Tao, no one would doubt it after just a few words. After all, the whole

The anti-ship ballistic missile project was promoted by Qin Tao.

"I guessed it." Qin Tao said: "Beidou is needed to assist positioning, and the only way is anti-ship ballistic missiles."

"Did you guess? Mr. Qin, please guess again for us. Since there is d, is there abc in front of it?" Mr. Huang continued.

"Okay, let me take a guess. Back then, when our huge waves came ashore, they became Dongfeng 21. At the beginning, there must be no tail." Qin Tao said: "After we made a batch, it became Dongfeng 21."

You will feel that its performance is not advanced enough. The main problem is that the range is not far enough. After we have advanced solid propellants, we will definitely increase the range. This is probably the initial A-type. In the later period, it will definitely increase

Mobility, preparing to break through the enemy’s air defense interception, this should be b and c.”

"Mr. Qin, you must have seen what you said from the Internet!" Mr. Huang said with a smile.

"That's right, it's just speculation on the Internet. There should be no leaks, right? We keep a close eye on this aspect. If there is really an insider leaking the information, the information will be blocked as soon as possible." Qin Tao said.

There are companies such as Loongson for network and computer hardware, and Goose Factory for software, etc. Therefore, the domestic Internet is developing rapidly, and the supervision of the network is also very strong.

"Yes, there must be no leaks, because many of them are wrong. So far, we only have one extended-range model, A. After that, we jumped directly to D." Huang said.

Qin Tao smiled and shook his head: "You don't follow martial ethics."

In later generations, the B and C models of Dongfeng 21 are already big guys that use multi-axis launch vehicles. The technology is more advanced, especially in order to break through your mother and mother, and have active flight capabilities. After entering the

After entering the atmosphere, orbit changes can be performed to completely defeat the enemy's interception.

But now, technology should not be developing so fast, or in other words, under the pressure of aircraft carrier formations, the best way is to first develop a D-type that is specifically designed to fight warships, and then use it to enrich other models.

"Now that this missile has been successful, the next step is to develop a small anti-ship ballistic missile." Qin Tao continued: "It can't just be used on land, it also has to be used at sea, and it has to be stuffed into our

In the vertical silo."

The eyes of the big guys were meaningful, but Qin Tao ignored them and continued: "The version for our navy's own use is called Eagle Strike 21. It happens that this number has not been used yet, and this can also arouse speculation from the outside world.

.”

"Mr. Qin, it's easy for you to say. Our Dongfeng 21 is more than one meter in diameter. How can it be stuffed into a warship? Are we specifically going to move the launch tube of a nuclear submarine into it?" an expert said.

"I just said that we need to develop an anti-ship ballistic missile specifically!" Qin Tao said: "The inner diameter of our navy's next-generation universal vertical launcher is 850 mm. You can develop a naval ship-borne missile according to this size.

Although the anti-ship ballistic missile has a smaller diameter, its length can be expanded to 9 meters, which is enough to have a range of one thousand kilometers."

In fact, this is not the first time that Qin Tao has proposed the idea of ​​ship-based anti-ship ballistic missiles. Some experts present have heard it before. At this time, Qin Tao's old saying is a request: Those of you who are engaged in aerospace, hurry up and get the Navy

Get the big killer you need!

"The inner diameter is 850 millimeters, and the length is still nine meters. Such a vertical launcher is not small. How big of a warship must the Navy have to accommodate enough launch units?" Mr. Huang continued to ask.

"Of course it's a 10,000-ton engine. Forget it, let's not talk about that, let's talk about leaks." Qin Tao said: "Let's continue with the meeting. You have to speed up the research and development of this Eagle Strike 21 and get it out as soon as possible."

This was a small interlude, and the meeting got back on track. After Beidou finished talking, it was time to move on to the most important manned space project.

"Currently, our work is progressing steadily, and the construction of the first spacecraft is in full swing... Mr. Qin, aren't you going to land on Mars? Do you also need to develop a spacecraft?" Halfway through the introduction, Mr. Qi suddenly thought of something.

What, said to Qin Tao.

"Yes, landing on Mars is our ultimate dream, but this dream seems too far away now. At present, we are only developing launch vehicles, and the spacecraft will need to wait ten or twenty years before we develop it. If by that time, we

If the Starship Corporation still exists."

Now they really don't have the funds or energy to involve any Mars spacecraft. Those are too far away. They can only wait for the future, and Qin Tao doesn't know what changes will happen in the future. Will his huge starship company disappear?

.

"However, your starship has a huge carrying capacity and can definitely launch an unmanned probe to Mars first. If you launch it, it will definitely be the largest Mars probe in history." Mr. Qi said.

Qin Tao nodded. The carrying capacity of 60 tons in low-Earth orbit is not just a boast. It can also carry more than ten tons when launched to Mars. However, how this big guy will land on Mars is a big problem. It can carry such a weight.

The area of ​​​​the parachute is so large that it is unimaginable, and if a space shuttle is used to land, there is no runway on Mars, unless it uses recovery technology like a starship to land...

"When it comes to profitability, it's Starship Company. They have now taken over the construction of the International Space Station, and our spaceflight has always been a high investment." An old expert present suddenly expressed emotion.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No, our aerospace can also make money. In the 1980s, our aerospace once earned the country US$3.5 billion in revenue at one time."

Qin Tao said.

In the 1980s, this was a big deal. When Qin Tao said this, the experts present were deeply moved.

"Mr. Qin, times have changed. Even if we have not joined international conventions, we still have to abide by international regulations. We cannot export missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers and a warhead of more than 300 kilograms." said an expert.

"What's so difficult about this?" Qin Tao said, "Does the international convention stipulate that warheads can be counterweighted?"

"That's not true." The big guy shook his head, but what the hell is a counterweight?

"Then we can boldly promote it. What is our current missile with the closest range?"

"Dongfeng 11, with a range of 350 kilometers and a warhead weight of 800 kilograms."

"That's right. When we export the missile, we install a 600-kilogram counterweight on this missile, so that the range and warhead weight can meet the standards. At the same time, we strictly prohibit customers from removing the counterweight without permission, otherwise

, we are not responsible for any malfunctions such as the missile flying, the warhead being overweight, etc."

Everyone's eyes lit up, this was really a good idea.

The atmosphere of any meeting with Mr. Qin in it becomes so relaxed!

After the meeting, after dinner, Qin Tao returned to his father-in-law's home. Looking at Qin Haiyang, who was so tall, he had to sigh that his living standard had improved. After another day, he learned that the Beidou satellite was about to be launched, and he

Go to Xichang Satellite Launch Center.

Now, a pattern of four major launch centers has been formed in China. The one in Qiongzhou is under construction. When it is completed, it will definitely be the largest launch center in the country. But now the most important one must be the Jiuquan Launch Center, which is responsible for

The manned space mission, the Shenzhou that is about to be launched, will take off from Jiuquan.

Xichang Satellite Launch Center is more suitable for synchronous satellite launches because of its lower latitude. Therefore, Xichang is the first choice for the launch of various high-latitude and synchronous satellites. As for the last one, the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center occasionally makes its presence felt.

.

The Long March 3 stands firmly on the launch pad. It does not use a bundled structure, so its top and bottom are equally thick, which makes it look a little thin. However, it can launch satellites to 36,000

At an altitude of a thousand kilometers!

Mr. Sun and a large number of people were busy here and did not bother to entertain Qin Tao, but Qin Tao was happy to be quiet and walk around.

After seeing the rocket on the launcher, he entered the command center again, looked at the busy figures, and looked at the big screen in front of him.

"Last year, our launch center underwent an upgrade. Currently, all computer systems use our Loongson. Compared with previous computer systems, the response speed has been greatly improved." An old aerospace expert said.

Beside him, he said to him.

"Really? That's such an honor, but you will probably need to replace it with a new one soon."

"Why?" Lao Xingfang was curious.

"Because our Loongson 3 is under development, it is estimated that it will be available in large quantities in a few years. Compared with previous processors, it can already perform gz-level calculations, and the price will be much cheaper."

This is the power of Moore's Law! The price of computer chips will gradually decrease, while the performance will continue to improve! Loongson 2 has reached the Western level, and Loongson 3 has surpassed it! Now, they are developing step by step, in self-developed immersion

After the lithography machine achieves a breakthrough, it will also reach the world's highest level in chip manufacturing technology and lead the trend of the entire world!

Lao Aerospace sighed: "Yes, if there are gz-level computers, then our current ones will definitely have to be updated. Your Loongson company can really make money!"

"We'll give you the cost price."

"Attention all units, the fuel has been filled and the launch has entered an irreversible process! Now start the countdown!"

The atmosphere became tense at this moment.

In fact, if an unexpected situation occurs, the fuel can still be extracted, but the risk is not that high. Therefore, generally speaking, once the fuel is refueled, there is no possibility of delay. This is

Just like inserting a cannonball into the barrel of a cannon, it is easy to shoot it out, but ejecting it is more complicated.

Now, the third stage of the three-stage Long March 3 rocket still uses a liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen engine. Once this low-temperature fuel is filled, it is even more inconvenient to extract it.

Qin Tao looked at the majestic appearance of the rocket displayed on the big screen, and suddenly felt a little weird in his heart. Why is he, a shipbuilder, always involved in the aerospace system? Sure enough, this spacecraft is indeed a ship, and the stars and the sea are also seas.

.

Time passed little by little, and finally, the sound of countdown came, and everyone's heartbeat seemed to stop. When the count reached zero, the order to ignite was given, and a blazing flame emerged from the bottom of the rocket, pushing the rocket forward.

The arrow body rises slowly, getting faster and faster.

In terms of spectacle, it is definitely not as spectacular as Starship K1, but it is still magnificent. After the rocket leaves the field of view, only the bright line on the big screen is slowly moving, perfectly coinciding with the predetermined curve.

The first level falls off, the second level falls off, and temporarily enters low-Earth orbit, waiting for orbit change!

There were bursts of cheers in the hall. Although the orbit change has not been successful, at least it has left the atmosphere!

Amidst the cheers of everyone, a technician in a white coat walked gently to Mr. Sun and said something next to his ear. Suddenly, his expression changed.

He clenched his fists and walked towards Qin Tao.

"Mr. Qin, I need to go back to the capital to attend a key meeting. Can you go with me?"

Mr. Sun has never asked anyone like this before. Qin Tao was a little curious: "What's wrong? What big thing happened?"

"Someone from the European Space Agency has come and invited us to join the Galileo project. Now, several of our leaders have been tempted." Mr. Sun made the seriousness of the entire incident clear in just a few words.

"Okay, I'll go back with you. After all, our Mingzhou Group also builds rockets and is engaged in aerospace. It's reasonable for us to participate in this kind of meeting." Qin Tao said.

He had to go, he had to disrupt this project. After all, this matter was obviously a trap.

For a long time, only the American GP family was the dominant one, and the old GLONASS was paralyzed almost all year round. Under this situation, the Europeans decided to develop their own satellite navigation system, named Galli

slightly.

Their concerns are reasonable. If they don't have their own navigation system, they will have to rely entirely on American GPs, and then they will have to listen to the Americans for everything. This is obviously not conducive to their independence, so they have to do the same.

project!

As for the current time period, of course there is a reason. It happens to be the time when Beidou is launched. If the Europeans send out invitations at this time, they must have an ulterior motive: they want to disrupt the Beidou navigation system in the East.

!

Dongfang's funds are not sufficient yet, so once it decides to officially join the Galileo Project, the self-developed navigation system will be thrown aside!

Beidou was nipped in the bud just after it was born. The hearts of these Europeans are really dark.

Capital, aerospace sector.

It was still the same conference room, and even the bench he sat on seemed to have the same temperature as last time, but the atmosphere in the conference room was completely different.

"The European Galileo Navigation Satellite Plan is an advanced satellite navigation system comparable to GP." On the rostrum, the leader presiding over the meeting said: "Currently, there are two plans for this plan. The first one is 21 plus 6

This solution uses 21 medium and high orbit satellites plus 6 geosynchronous orbit satellites. This solution is characterized by the least investment, but in order to achieve higher precision navigation requirements, it must be combined with the gp system and the differential enhancement system.

The second is the 36 plus 9 solution, which uses 36 medium and high orbit satellites and 9 geosynchronous orbit satellites. This solution has extremely high navigation accuracy, but the investment is huge. Currently, Europe is developing these two solutions.

Discussion, if we join, the project will be more fully funded, and they will choose the latter option."

Qin Tao shook his head below. The Europeans knew nothing but blowing. In fact, they had no choice in these system plans. They finally chose 30 satellites with an orbital altitude of one kilometer, including 27 working satellites and 3 satellites.

Backup satellite. This does not require geostationary satellites and is the most economical.

"Mr. Qin, you seem to have different opinions on this plan?" At this moment, the leader saw his shaking head and immediately asked.

"Yes, I'm not optimistic about them. With the usual urination of Europeans, this system is still a nonsense project." Qin Tao said.

Now that he is here, he must play a role, not to mention that the leaders are still asking for his opinions.

Starship Company of Mingzhou Group is a private enterprise, but it owns the largest rocket in the world, so his words have weight and he is confident.

There is no point in continuing to introduce the Galileo Project and promote various benefits. Now Qin Tao is here to disrupt this project, and he must talk about various shortcomings.

"If the EU were a country, just like the original Red Empire, then they might be able to think in one place and work hard in one place, but they are just a loose alliance, seemingly inseparable from each other.

Under the banner of various alliances, in fact, they are selling sheep's heads to dog meat, just for their own interests."

Qin Tao decided to take the initiative in this venue, even if it means occupying the magpie's nest.

"I don't know anything else, but I can talk about military matters. Let's take the most famous joint air defense ship in Europe as an example." Qin Tao successfully turned this aerospace conference into a warship conference: "Back then, Lao Maozi's

As the Red Navy grew stronger, Europe felt the pressure and decided to unite for warmth. In 1979, the nr90 plan was proposed. The full name of this plan is the NATO frigate replacement plan for the 1990s."

Speaking of shipbuilding, Qin Tao is a spitting image: "Initially, the nr90 project had seven participating countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, West Germany, France, and Italy. Later, Spain confirmed its participation, so the total number increased to eight

According to what was said at the time, this nr90 project was modular and could have up to 12 different solutions to meet the different needs of various countries. This could save them more than 20% of their research and development costs. But what happened later?

In the 1990s, all countries withdrew from this plan amid quarrels, and in the end only the United States and Canada were left. Do you know the reason for this?"

Qin Tao looked at the people around him: "Our ancestors have a saying that if three monks have no water to drink, the three monks will get into trouble, let alone eight monks. In any project, as long as three aspects are added,

, then it will eventually turn into a back-and-forth plan, especially if it involves the interests of all parties."

"Of course, some people will say that this plan went bankrupt because the Red Empire disappeared and the Europeans no longer had a common enemy. If this is the reason, we can still look at the follow-up." Qin Tao said: "NR90 disappeared.

However, the Europeans still need air defense ships, so they started a new round of hugging each other for warmth and a new round of fighting in the nest."

Everyone may know about these things, but they are definitely not as systematic as Qin Tao.

"The United Kingdom and France proposed a plan for the next generation of general-purpose frigates. After all, the British Type 42 suffered a big loss in the Falklands War, and the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle needed fleet air defense capabilities, so they hit it off. Then, Italy also

We have joined a total of three countries. It is said that the big group has become a small group from the last time, which is better, right? But in fact, there are still constant disputes, and the three monks have no water to drink. They performed it vividly here.

"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The British Navy has to sail in the Atlantic and has to face strong winds and waves, while France and Italy have to operate in the Mediterranean and don't have to be afraid of bad weather.

The sea was rough and rough, so they struggled with the size of a displacement for several years, and finally settled on 6,500 tons. However, this was only the first step. Next, in terms of ship-based weapons, they fell into a new situation.

A round of quarrels.”

"The British insisted that the Sampson radar be placed at the highest point, and France demanded that half of the project be contracted. In the end, there was a quarrel. The British finally withdrew and developed their own Type 45 destroyers. France and Italy built Horizon-class frigates."

"Of course, considering the time issue, I won't give other examples. The European Joint Fighter Wing and the like are all the product of various wranglings. Everyone, do you understand what I mean now?"

"Mr. Qin, we understand what you mean, but navigation satellites are civilian projects, and we currently lack technology. If we join the Galileo satellite program, we can suddenly transition from simple binary satellites to advanced global navigation.

In the satellite era, even if this project is risky, we still have to take the risk," the leader said.

"Civilian projects? Leader, do you have any misunderstandings? Both GP and GLONASS were developed by the military, and civilian projects are just incidental." Qin Tao said: "You are so eager to join Canada.

Regarding the Lillo project, have you asked the military for its opinion? Moreover, you also said that we currently lack technology!"

Qin Tao's tone became serious: "So, what role does our entry into this plan play?"
