To be able to defend against ballistic missiles, that is, long-range strategic laser weapons are needed, among several types of laser weapons, this is the most difficult, fortunately, the United States has a fairly mature spaceborne type, and the Lion's system has an optimized land-based type, which is no problem for anti-missiles.

Xu Ziling has never cared about this, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand anything, he knows that although the Dao laser weapon is powerful, it also has an extremely obvious drawback, that is, when attacking, the weather requirements are very high.

When it rains and clouds are thick, it will weaken the power of the laser beam, resulting in tens of kilometers, or even shorter distances, the beam can no longer reach the power of destroying the target. ”

"The impact is definitely there, but it is definitely much better than that of the people of the United States. I have validated a scheme that can be produced now, and I have come to the conclusion that it is completely capable of destroying high-orbit satellites as long as it is not too bad weather. The lion answered him at once.

"Then I'll be relieved." After receiving such an answer, Xu Ziling was very satisfied.

In his heart, when the weather is bad, as long as it can ensure that there can be lethality within a range of 200 kilometers, it is enough, and now the lion said that he can attack high-orbit satellites, what else is he worried about?

But the lion immediately changed his mind, "But I don't advise you to do this now." ”

……

Xu Ziling was very surprised and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"This is a land-based large laser, mainly used to destroy enemy satellites, and it is a bit extravagant to use it as a missile defense weapon, and the cost of this thing is too high, I have estimated that it must be at least about 1.5 billion US dollars."

……

it, get this thing, you can almost get an aircraft carrier, it's too expensive.

"So do you have another plan?" Thinking of the tone in which the lion spoke, Xu Ziling realized that he had other plans.

"Of course there is, there is also a small multi-functional laser weapon scheme here, with a range of hundreds of kilometers, and it is completely fine to defend against missiles, you can see it." The lion said as he transferred a folder to the computer on his desk.

"Oh? yes, then I'll take a look first. I heard that there was such a one, Xu Ziling immediately started to look at it on the computer.

The structure of laser weapons is not complicated, consisting of lasers, aiming systems, and launchers, and it is simpler than weapons like missiles.

There is a lion, and it is determined that the optimization scheme in its system can make the laser weapon "perfect", Xu Ziling is not worried about these at all, and when he opened the plan, he saw the physical map of the laser weapon for the first time.

This is a land-based vehicle-mounted laser, as a whole, it is like a strange-looking tank, it is weird, that is, it is not much different from the tank from the appearance, it is also an armored shell, tracked, but its muzzle is different from the conventional tank, it is much thicker than the barrel of the tank, but in terms of length, it is much shorter, about a little more than a meter, at first glance, people who don't know the way will only think that a searchlight is installed on the tank.

"This thing can move? How fast? Xu Ziling looked at this thing, and thought of the tank, and the land mobile weapon was also something he considered to get, but the biggest need in the country recently is the strength of the navy and the air force, and he hasn't had time to get this, at this time, when he saw this, he was thinking about whether he could use this thing on the tank.

"The road speed is more than one hundred and fifteen, the off-road speed depends on the road conditions, and the four-level highway, one hundred and two is no problem."

……

Is this TM or tank? The fourth-class highway can reach one hundred and two, which is more powerful than off-road vehicles.

Mobility has nothing to do with laser weapons, Xu Ziling thought that if such a power system and related techniques could be used in tanks, wouldn't such tanks be invincible? Running at such a speed, it is difficult for ordinary cannons to hit.

It's just that at this time, he just thinks about it, because this is the time to discuss laser weapons, and he keeps this matter in mind, thinking about when to study it again, so he returns his mind to the main topic.

After looking at it for a while, he asked the lion:

"This thing is about the same size as a tank, and it can have that much power?" At the beginning of the underground base in the desert town of the United States, he had seen the laser weapons of the United States, but compared with the one in front of him, this is a little too small now.

"No problem, the laser is powered by a small nuclear reactor, which is only a little fist-sized and can be powered more than 10,000 times......"

The lion hurriedly introduced it, but before he finished speaking, Xu Ziling hurriedly flipped through the information and looked at it.

MD, such a thing actually uses a small nuclear reactor, it's so high-tech, listening to the lion, he thinks it's better to see it with his own eyes.

And when the lion saw him, he knew that his "occupational disease" had been committed again, so he stopped, stopped talking, and let him see for himself.

Xu Ziling looked at it for a while, and probably figured out this thing, the car itself is driven by fuel, the latest pneumatic hydraulic suspension, and the whole vehicle is equipped with three personnel, one person is responsible for driving, one is responsible for auxiliary work, and one person is responsible for laser cannons.

The interior of the car is not very spacey, with an engine system in the front, a laser in the back, including a small nuclear reactor that is fully sealed, and then a fusion system, with a 180-degree horizontal and 360-degree adjustable muzzle above the head.

The car can be equipped with "Hawkeye" radar, when the radar finds the target, the computer will calculate the shooting distance according to the radar signal, automatically adjust the range, that is, this thing can not only air defense, it can also hit any ground target within the range, but due to the characteristics of direct beam, it is only suitable for flat places, not very suitable for places with complex terrain.

For example, where there is a mountain, the target is on the other side of the mountain, if it is a tank, you can calculate the trajectory of the shell, as long as it is not a dead end, you can attack the target, but with a laser weapon, you can never penetrate the entire mountain and attack the target.

"It seems that this thing is only suitable for defensive weapons, not offensive weapons." After taking a cursory look at the information, Xu Ziling muttered.

"Not necessarily." Hearing him say this, the lion immediately ran out and retorted, "Aren't you just thinking about the issue of missile defense now, that's why I chose this plan, if you want it to become an offensive weapon, you can put it on an airplane and fly it into the air, this kind of small one has a range of more than 500 kilometers, and you can hit wherever you want." ”

"Well, let's just think about defense for now." Xu Ziling said stupidly: Now that there are "Shadow Dragons" and "Flying Eagles", and supporting missiles have also been made, it is obviously inappropriate to develop airborne laser weapons for the time being.

……

After staying in the office with the lion for a long time, Xu Ziling finally decided to choose the plan that the lion came up with, originally to get this thing, mainly to consider preventing the United States from using ballistic missiles and other weapons to attack Makura, there is no need to consider using it in other aspects now.

In the military factory, any movement will be known by the people above, Xu Ziling didn't want to say anything about the laser weapon, so he didn't rush to come up with this plan, but treated it as if there was no such thing, just studied the things inside every day.

Two days later, Assad finally contacted Xu Ziling, saying that there was news in China and that he needed to talk to Xu Ziling in person.

"Okay, in an hour and a half, old place, I'll pick you up."

Xu Ziling knew that he was still in the hotel, and readily agreed to his request to meet.

Out of the office, just like last time, I called Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng, and the three of them drove a car and went out.

Arrived in the back street of the hotel on time, picked up Assad, and the car went out of the city again, "We need thirty anti-ship missiles, twenty ground-to-ground missiles, can you provide them for me?" As soon as he got into the car, Assad couldn't wait to ask.

"Surface-to-surface missiles?" Xu Ziling was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect them to want ground-to-ground missiles again, and then reacted, "Are you going to launch an attack on the opposition?" ”

At this time, if the Syrian government army wants to launch a large-scale attack on the opposition, the cruise missile matter will definitely be exposed, and won't it attract the attention of the people of the United States? Thinking of this, Xu Ziling frowned, feeling a little head pain.

"Yes." Assad nodded directly and admitted, "The situation in our country can no longer withstand a long war." ”

You, Xu Ziling scolded his mother in his heart.

Your country can't afford to fight, what does it have to do with me? If I really sell cruise missiles to you, then my side will be miserable.

The domestic side is encountering the situation of transferring abroad, and Makula is not prepared at all, once this matter is exposed, the matter of transferring abroad is estimated to be in vain, if it is usual, it will be sold, and it will be sold, and it is a big deal not to admit it, anyway, it is not to deal with the people of the United States, but at such a time, any small thing may lead to the miscarriage of the transfer plan, and he does not want to take this risk.

After thinking about it, he said to Assad: "The things are there, but there are some problems on the channel side, and it will take a year to deliver them." ”

One year of delivery time, Xu Ziling has considered it.

This deadline is very common in the international arms trading market, and some orders are even as long as ten years, and he proposed one year, so that Assad will not feel that there is anything wrong, and for himself, after one year, the plan to transfer overseas should be successful, and by then Makula has become like an iron bucket, even if the people of the United States come to find trouble, there is no need to be afraid.

This year's buffer is a must.
