Ten days later, in a command center in the Yalant region, a general looked helplessly at the engineer beside him. Anyone could easily see the bitterness on his face.
The huge warehouse outside the window opened its door little by little, and technicians in white coats and military guards came out in twos and threes. If they continued to look, they saw a special car full of wheels.
This car is huge, and the front end of the car is very powerful at first glance, and it is moving steadily forward at an anxiously slow speed.
Behind the car, there was a huge flat plate with an exaggeratedly slender rocket on it. On the white rocket body, there was a huge eagle emblem, and underneath it was written in thick black letters "
Ireland Hill".
"I said, under such circumstances, is it really okay to continue launching launch vehicles instead of manufacturing more missiles?" In the command center, the general clasped his hands behind his back and finally asked.
In his view, at this time, the army should take over a similar command center and mobilize all the country's forces to serve the war at hand.
But in fact, the launch of rockets from Elland Hill has never stopped. Due to production capacity, the number of missile weapons in the military is actually decreasing.
Yes, it is really in a state of reduction. Scud missiles are now only producing improved solid rocket models. Even in order to manufacture launch vehicles, the production of solid rocket model Scuds is also intermittent.
At the same time, the front line is increasingly fond of using such guided weapons that are fast, powerful, and long-range, especially for the penetration effect. Missiles are much ahead of bombers.
Even the most advanced B-52 bomber is no better than the Scud missile in ground attack within a range of 300 kilometers.
Therefore, the consumption of such missiles is increasing, but the manufacturing quantity is far from increasing. On the contrary, it is declining significantly. Therefore, the number of Scud missiles in stock is actually decreasing.
The situation of Dongfeng hm-5 ballistic missiles is even more worrying: after emergency production of hundreds of missiles, Dongfeng hm-5 ballistic missiles have been discontinued!
Yes! Production has been completely stopped! As the war continued, His Majesty the Emperor ordered us to stop production.
After the military has used Dongfeng hm-5 ballistic missiles several times, the number of such missiles has dropped to less than a hundred, and it is in a state that can barely maintain nuclear deterrence.
You can understand this situation just by thinking about it: it would be strange if Alan Hill could produce high-precision launch vehicles and large missiles like sausages.
After all, even on Earth in the 21st century, the United States, the most sophisticated country in the aerospace industry, is still in a state of workshop-style production. Rockets are produced one by one, and the quantity is accumulated bit by bit.
Mass production consumes equipment.
Of course, the suspension of production of Dongfeng HM-5 ballistic missiles is not without its benefits, that is, the factories that are still working overtime to produce rocket products have provided a large number of launch vehicles to the Irish Aerospace Agency.
It is precisely because of this that Airan Hill can maintain the exaggerated speed of launching a rocket in a few days. Air Land Hill's various satellites have also accumulated an exaggerated number in this war state.
"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 have to see the achievements of the spacecraft in intelligence." The engineer standing in front of the general said with a smile.
He replied with a confident face.
He is not an idiot just standing here and wasting everyone's time. On the contrary, he is one of the most powerful teachers of aerospace engineering technicians in the empire.
If His Majesty the Emperor Chris is not included, he can be said to be the earliest professional talent in the country to come into contact with rocket technology. Because of the existence of the Knowledge Magic Ball, his professionalism in the aerospace field is definitely the strongest.
"We need satellites so much! In terms of communications, we are building a network trying to cover the entire planet. Due to technological advancement, this network is being updated while being established..." Speaking of satellites, he thinks this may be
One of the most fascinating recent technological advances in the Empire's technological field has been.
"At the same time, we are also 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 are equipped with nuclear weapons within a hit range of several hundred meters, the lack of accuracy will seriously affect the strike effect.
But using satellite-guided weapons is another matter. The strike accuracy will rise 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 actually the most important advantage. Another important advantage of satellite guidance is price!
The price of Tomahawk missiles is lower than that of Scuds, but the hit accuracy is higher. When attacking low-value targets, although the performance of Tomahawk missiles is slightly worse, the advantage of cheap prices and sufficient quantities 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 and reduce the cost of attacking Airan Hill.
When cheap guided bombs and ground-attack missiles begin 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 launches rockets so frantically to send various satellites into the sky.
"This morning, Dotson launched two Dongfeng hm-5 ballistic missiles. They rewrote the launch procedures and sent the two Eye of God satellites into the predetermined orbit." He stared intently at the huge special trailer carrying the
The huge rocket left the warehouse little by little, and the engineer randomly found a topic to chat about.
"Two more were used? Didn't we launch three Dongfeng hm-5 missiles the day before yesterday and send three geological satellites into the sky?" The general was surprised, looked at the engineer, and asked subconsciously.
"You know the role of geological satellites in searching for oil and other energy sources, right?" The engineer glanced at the other party and felt that the other party was simply an idiot who did not understand war economics: "If the army does not have enough oil, you can only command infantry to fight.
Got it!"
"Don't worry, there shouldn't be too many incidents of using Dongfeng hm-5 missiles to launch satellites in the future." Looking at the general's gloomy face, the engineer reached out and patted the other man's shoulder twice and comforted 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 factory has been put into operation, including a complete set of solid fuel purification equipment... so the pressure is not so great." The engineer was very familiar with the arrangements for rocket production, and he casually introduced a few sentences:
"On the other hand, the number of Dongfeng hm-5 missiles has dropped 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, it is not cost-effective to launch satellites with ballistic missiles for the time being." He continued without waiting for the other party to speak: "This rocket uses the latest technology... It can achieve four satellites with one stone.
."
"What? Four satellites with one stone? Have you realized this technology?" The general was stunned and looked at the engineer. He had heard of this technology, which can significantly reduce the cost of satellite launches.
With this technology, Airland Hill's satellite launch speed has been increased by four times, which is an amazing achievement.
"Don't be too happy too early. The missile technology department is developing the multi-satellite launch technology for the Dongfeng hm-5 ballistic missile. I heard that the progress is very fast." The engineer poured cold water on him at this time.
Military general.
Hearing this, the general had a wry smile on his face 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 feel bad." The engineer smiled, grabbed the walkie-talkie, and ordered: "Keep this speed! Carefully monitor the vibrations on the rocket body! Stay away from the helicopter troops! Stay away!"
The new-style jeep was clearing the way in front, followed by several helicopters overhead. This huge launch vehicle was slowly approaching its launch pad.
Who would have thought that in the past six months, apart from mobilizing a sufficient number of soldiers, Eiland Hill did not go all out to enter a state of all-out war.
It is still building infrastructure and developing other technical directions. Although most of the technologies are related to the military, the civilian technologies it has driven are still popularizing and benefiting Ailan at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The people of Hill.
Seris has begun to popularize cable TV, and various places are also building TV towers and various signal generators that will eventually become obsolete.
In the past, radio communication could cover the long distance between Grecken and Eiland Hill with weak signals. Now, the radio signal has been strengthened ten times, but there will still be signal interference.
The development of Alan Hill is destroying the electromagnetic communication environment of this world. It has proudly used its own electromagnetic channel to leave no channel available to those who come after...
Of course, according to the current satellite launch speed of Elland Hill, by the time Grecken or the Devil learn to launch artificial satellites, they may not be able to find their own launch orbit!——
