Chapter 336: Missile test launch, animal birth
The top deck of SuperStar Aquarius.
The two old men were sitting together, chatting freely.
An old man sighed, and there was some pessimism in his words, "The universe is too big, people are too small, and we can only see a small part of the universe in our lifetime." β
The other old man smiled: "No! Although the material universe is infinitely vast, we are just a drop in the dust. But in the spiritual universe, it is infinitely small, and our minds can simulate countless of them, and this is where the greatness of man lies. Thought is one of the laws of the universe. With thought, we become great. β
"It is a pity that the material universe is eternal, but the human mind is only a short moment, and this moment, all we can know is only a part."
Yan Lao looked up at the sky above his head, "Brother Liu, don't be pessimistic, at our age, every qiΔ is the destiny of heaven, there is no need to deliberately force it, just go with the flow and be optimistic about fate." β
"What Brother Yan said is that I'm a little enchanted." Liu Shengzu stroked the beard on his chin, his eyes shining.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Tianming suddenly flashed from the side.
For the sudden appearance of Tianming, the two old men were already surprised,
"I didn't talk about anything, I'm listening to Professor Yan talk about science, it's time to eat again?"
"No, I saw you two chatting here, so I came over to see you. Grandpa, there's a storm coming in two days, and the wind outside is starting to get a little stronger, so let's go to the cabin to talk. β
Nowadays, the elderly are prone to the disease of stroke, and they cannot blow too much wind outside.
TongguΓ² satellite found that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, there is a hurricane with a central wind force of more than 13 coming.
"Okay, we got it."
β¦β¦
Sea trials.
Storm transit. Lightning flashed, thunder exploded, and torrential rain poured down.
The waves were more than 10 meters, and all the ships shook violently, and the crew on board stood unsteadily, vomited and diarrhea, and fainted to death.
There was a huge ship, like a white beast, standing still in the waves.
In the storm, the 100,000-ton Nuanchun aerospace aircraft carrier played a huge role.
A few thick ropes dragged through guΓ². Other ships were firmly tied around it, safe and secure.
Even the "Ocean Seven", which has a displacement of 20,000 tons, most of the crew on board, except for a few mechanics who maintain power, were urgently transferred to the Nuanchun aircraft carrier.
In the cabin of the Warm Spring, through the glass portholes, you can watch the monstrous waves outside, and then feel the slight shaking of the hull. Many people have a chill in their hearts.
"It's too big a wave over here." An engineer said with an earthy face.
"It's normal, you're all new here, this kind of wind and waves are relatively small, bigger waves. Warships can be overturned. Liu Haiyang came over with a cup of hot tea, because the soles of his feet were a little shaky, and some of the tea was spilled.
"The nuclear submarine under the sea should be fine, right?"
"There should be no, the nuclear submarine dived to a depth of 3,000 meters to the bottom of the sea. The water at this depth is relatively stable, and the storm does not affect much. β
"The sea trials have been going on for more than a month and there have been no problems with many tests. In a few days, the missile launch will be carried out, I don't know if it can be done? "Another humane.
"China's missile technology is quite mature, and there should be no problems with the launch test."
The Julang-4 submarine-launched ballistic missile is a brand-new missile, which is different from the traditional submarine-launched missile launched at a depth of 10 meters to 30 meters, the Julang-4 can be launched from a depth of 100 meters, which is more difficult to launch, and has never been test-launched...... But the actual combat significance is very large, and the survivability of nuclear submarines can also be greatly improved, and if the missile can be successfully launched, it will be an exciting thing.
3000 meters deep at the bottom of the sea, inside the nuclear submarine.
At this depth, there is indeed no shaking, and in the submarine cabin where various high-tech equipment is deployed, Captain Qiu is giving various orders to the crew.
"The water depth officer pays attention to the depth of the water, the sonar officer pays attention to the mysterious creatures around him, and the liaison officer keeps in touch with the outside world!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Captain Qiu was highly nervous. It is because the underwater environment of Blue Mercury is much more complex than that of the earth, there are many strange creatures, the size is surprisingly large, and some sea beasts with great attack power, after discovering the nuclear submarine, they come up with a burst of bites, and see the nuclear submarine as a prey that can be mouthed.
As a result, as soon as the nuclear submarine was started, a pulse current was released, and the sea beast screamed with electricity and fled.
Two days later, the storm passed and the sea returned to its former calm.
At this time, the trial support fleet was divided into two groups, one consisting of the Nuan Chun and three warships, and went to a certain sea area in the northeast -- where the Julang-4 submarine-launched missiles would fall.
The other team, consisting of nuclear submarines and destroyers Dayang 7 and Yuxin, went in opposite directions and distanced themselves from the other fleet.
Seven days later, the distance between the two fleets had reached 10,000 kilometers.
The design range of Julang 4 is 14,000 kilometers, but the gravity constant of Blue Mercury is larger than that of Earth, and the range of missiles will be much reduced, and experts estimate that it can have a range of up to 10,000 kilometers.
Ten days later, the tense time for the launch test of a submarine-launched ICBM arrived.
"Five minutes countdown, ready for launch."
"Yes!" The fire controller put his thumb on a red button.
"Three minutes to prepare!" The fire controller was breathing heavily.
"Two minutes to prepare!" A fine layer of sweat broke out on the fire controller's head.
"Ready in a minute!" The beads of sweat on the head of the fire control staff were like beans, and ants crawled down.
β10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1οΌ Launch! β
"Launch!" The fire controller yelled and jerked his hand down on the launch button.
The hatch of the missile launch tube opened, there was a muffled sound, the submarine shook slightly, and countless water blisters were generated around the submarine "hula hula", and then, under the impetus of the underwater engine, the submarine-launched missile weighing 25 tons accelerated and rushed upward.
The moment the missile came out of the water, the second-stage engine ignited, and a white column of water rose on the sea. Up to twenty meters, the missile, propelled by a solid-fuel engine, rushed in a certain direction.
Rush out of the atmosphere and re-enter the atmosphere.
Twenty minutes later, a missile warhead with a long red flame successfully landed in a sea area 10,000 kilometers away.
Liu Haiyang and the others, who had been waiting in this sea area for a long time, clearly saw the missile head in the sky, like a meteor falling, making a huge sound, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. Hurriedly ordered all the ships: "Move closer to the missile landing point, the helicopter will take off quickly, and prepare to salvage several cabins." β
"Yes!"
"Jump!" A wave stirred up on the surface of the sea, and after a while, the burnt blackened missile warhead floated from the bottom of the sea, and was immediately found by the Whirlwind-100 helicopter that flew here at high speed, and the few capsules were salvaged effortlessly.
After half an hour of analysis. Chief Engineer Xu Tao reported excitedly and excitedly: "The missile has a range of 10,124 kilometers, and the circumference of the impact point deviates by 50 meters, and nothing has happened. The missile was launched, and it was a complete success! β
The crowd was excited, and the cheers rang out into one piece, among people. Hug each other.
"Oh~!"
"It worked, the first launch was a success! Great, great! β
"Our country. Another big killer has been added! β
"Tonight's celebration and wine, we won't get drunk and go home!"
The technical integration and launch difficulty of SLBMs are greater than those of rockets launched into space. Russia is an aviation power, but after building the sixth-generation nuclear submarine, the "Round Hammer" submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile they used was launched 19 times and failed 11 times.
Country H, on the other hand, has developed three Julang series of submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and the technology is not very mature, and the guided nuclear submarine has been launched for more than 40 years, but it has not really carried out a combat readiness cruise, and it has been built, but it cannot be used, which has virtually reduced the deterrent power of the nuclear submarine.
If the success rate of the launch is maintained at more than 90 percent in the next sea trial, then it proves that this missile is mature and reliable, and it can be put into active service in the future and become a sword to protect the country.
β¦β¦
Today, the good news came that several eggs had successfully hatched.
Tianming hurriedly came to the Zhiqiu Aerospace Aircraft Carrier and walked into a real cabin for biologists, with an area of thousands of square meters.
"Commander, the 9 eggs you gave us have successfully hatched a total of 6, and 4 different kinds of creatures have broken out of their shells, which is very shocking, come and see."
A cow.
A calf weighing 200 pounds at birth, with a burly and robust physique, and a horned head like a rhinoceros horn. The limbs are as thick as elephant legs...... But because it is still a calf, the gaze in the eyes of a pair of big cows is very clear, after Lan Luo saw this cow, he heard its "bleating" cry, and his love overflowed, holding its cow head and stroking it.
A horse.
A brown foal, weighing more than 100 pounds, looks not much different from a horse on Earth, but has a fork behind its tail, and is an authentic two-tailed horse.
A pig.
The pink blue star pig, if it can keep its 8,9 pounds of cuteness, Tianming can consider not eating it.
Two chickens.
Ordinary Blue Star chickens are similar to the earth's domestic chickens, but they are larger, and when they grow up, they may be a bit similar to turkeys, making "chirping" sounds from time to time, and they are probably hungry.
These eggs are Tianming from a pile of thousands of large, medium and small eggs, randomly selected a few, they are handed over to biologists for research, biologists, the eggs are incubated in the incubation room, two weeks later, the calcium carbonate salt on the hard and thick eggshell is digested by the carcass inside, and then, most of the animals break out of the shell and are born in front of the earthlings.
"These animals are so cute, let's raise them all." Lan Luo hugged the chirping Blue Star Pig and said to Tianming.
"Of course, we have to raise them, and when the flood waters recede, when we return to the mainland, these animals will be like pigs, cows, sheep, and horses on the earth, all over the mountains, and they will be part of a beautiful new world."
The drifting life on the sea is not Tianming's preference, and the stability and steadfastness on land is his ultimate pursuit.
Seeing these strange-looking and novel animals, Tianming's heart was already faintly impatient.
