Chapter 474: Cheating
Yang Feng's IBM360 or the current name Pentium 360 has been listed, this epoch-making computer has given IBM a fatal blow, at least no one in Europe uses their products anymore, and now the orders are lined up for three years, and even have been sold in North America through a Canadian subsidiary, of course, the Pentium company sells not only a computer, but also a large number of supporting products, in short, this company has now firmly established the position of the leader in the computer industry.
It can even be described as lonely and defeated.
What was originally regarded as a hot-headed gamble by Yang Yuanyuan is becoming a miracle that shakes the world, and the Daming information industry has quickly become a new economic pillar.
However, this did not stop Yang Yuan's ambitions, and then the Pentium Company won another plate, that is, large-scale supercomputers, and it was Moses who realized Yang's ambitions. Clay and his CDC company's classic CDC7600, Yang Feng bypassed the CDC6600, and the computing speed of 3 million per second was not a supercomputer in his opinion, and it would have to start at least 10 million.
This supercomputer, which he named the Galaxy I, has now become an important magic weapon for the first ballistic missile interception test of the Ming Empire.
And this test, also aroused global attention, everyone is staring at the Ming Empire, once this test is successful, it means that the ICBM will no longer be a one-hit kill, irresistible war adjudicator, after creating this thunder spear, mankind has finally created an Aegis that can resist it. Of course, they are skeptical about this, and even wait to see the excitement of the vast majority, after all, this kind of interception is too sci-fi. It's all about hitting one bullet with another. If Yang Feng has been researched for many years. Then, with the scientific and technological strength of the Ming Empire, everyone may still have some confidence.
But the question is, it's not been a year and a half since the Star Wars program was proposed, and you're going to conduct an interception test? Although I know that you Chinese are smart, and others have built a missile to test for several years and have not dared to put it into service, and you dare to install it on a submarine once you launch it, this time it is still too exaggerated.
"Exaggerated? This is not an exaggeration at all, technology, we have to believe in the power of technology, and the current situation is that it is assumed that we find out that the enemy is firing missiles at us. Assuming that the missile launched by the enemy is within the monitoring range of our radar, then it is nothing more than calculating the trajectory of the attacking missile in a short time, and at the same time calculating the trajectory of our nearest interceptor missile launch and intercepting it, all that remains is to press the launch button. Compared to the whole system, this is only the simplest link, and the key to the Star Wars program is not this, but the ability to monitor and track on a global scale, which is the most critical, and interception is only the most basic part. ”
Yang Feng put on an expert face and said to a group of envoys from various countries who were invited by him to visit the experiment, of course, including his old friend Johnson. The latter was looking outside with an indifferent smile on their faces at this time, and next to them were a large number of Ming officers and soldiers guarding various instruments and staring at the screen.
Of course, Yang Feng's testing ground will not be in Yingtian. But in Banda Aceh, at this time on the air force airfield outside, two modified Yi medium-range missiles have been erected and are in the final refueling, because the time is night, and under the reflection of various lights, it is also full of science and technology. The modification of these two missiles is actually not very big, one is to replace a close-to-explosive fuze warhead with more than 500 fist projectiles, and the second is to replace the inertial navigation system, the original cheap inertial navigation system, replaced by the Julang missile, it can be said that the mechanical manufacturing technology has developed to the pinnacle of the artifact, the advanced inertial reference ball.
That is, Yang Yuan is used to calling the small ball ball.
This small ball will ensure that the missile will not deviate too far to the greatest extent, and the rest depends on the accuracy of the radar and the performance of the Galaxy computer.
And the radar is equally up-to-date.
Not far from the base, stands a behemoth more than 20 meters high and more than 30 meters wide, with an inclined façade slightly to the north, where more than 4,000 kilometers away is the Soviet Union's Baikonur cosmodrome.
This is another guarantee of this test, the first set of large-scale land-based phased array radar in service in the Ming army, which is the team led by Shu Xingbei, the crystallization of technology that took a full five years, or in the case of Yang Feng's little help, only with their minds and the strong support of the Ming electronics industry, the farthest high-altitude detection distance can reach 4,000 kilometers, basically the Soviet missiles can be known here, and the accuracy is extremely high, and even small satellites at an altitude of hundreds of meters can be detected.
"Target found!"
Just as Yang Feng was pretending to be forced, an officer next to him suddenly reported.
At the same time, 700 kilometers away at the Ming Army Base in Shouxinfu, an identical Yi missile was spraying flames, pulling out an ever-extending eye-catching trajectory in the dark night, rising higher and higher, and flying at an extremely high speed towards the predetermined sea area due south.
At this time, in the test base of Banda Aceh, all the Ming officers and soldiers entered a state of nervous busyness, and the radar constantly transmitted new tracking data, which was calculated by the Galaxy giant computer to depict the ballistic path of the missile at the fastest speed. Then, after the correction of the latest tracking data, in less than a minute, relying on the powerful computing power of the Galaxy computer, the final trajectory of the missile was determined, and then the interception path of the interceptor missile was also calculated, and the system automatically controlled an interceptor missile that had completed all the preparations to quickly rise into the air and fly directly to the target missile that was flying in the booster stage.
Because it was night, the flight trajectory of this interceptor missile could also be seen with the naked eye, and the picture full of science fiction made those wide-eyed envoys amazed.
"George, I hear you're doing this research as well?"
Yang Feng deliberately leaned over to Johnson's side and asked casually while looking at the sky.
"Yes."
Johnson said with a stiff smile.
"It was an opportunity for our researchers to communicate a little more, and I'd be more than happy to help my friends with that."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
The latter shrugged and did not speak.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd suddenly screamed, because at this moment, in the starry sky in the northwest, a fast-moving point of light appeared, like a meteor on the canopy, because the distance was very close, and the target missile at this time was still in the booster stage, so you can clearly see how the two flame-jetting missiles approached at a very fast speed.
This is also the reason why Yang Feng chose to conduct this experiment at night, which has a better visual effect.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the sky, staring at the two points of light that kept closing the distance, including those Ming officers and soldiers, their work had been completed at this time, and everything else could only be left to Providence. In fact, the Ming army has long been determined about this test, and the success rate will not exceed 30 percent, but since the Führer insists on carrying it out, then he has no choice but to let him do it, and besides, such an experiment is indeed necessary, because their next research must be supported by test data, even if the interception fails, it can still be said that the harvest is huge.
The estimates within the Ming army were accurate.
Because their interception test has theoretically failed at this time, Chen Zhong, who was facing a row of display screens, had a grim expression, according to the latest ballistic calculations tracked by radar, the two missiles are likely to pass by hundreds of meters, although they are close bombs, but such a distance can still be said to be very hanging.
However, they didn't know that at this time, hundreds of kilometers in the air, a giant spaceship that could not be detected by their radar quietly approached the interceptor missile in flight, and after the speed was reduced to synchronize with the interceptor missile, the hull rubbed lightly on the interceptor missile, and the movement was so gentle that it was like sweeping a feather with hair, and under the action of this subtle force, the trajectory of the interceptor missile underwent a little change that even the ground radar could not detect.
After all, the radar also has accuracy errors, at least on the radar image, the missile did not change in any way, but it changed the results of this test.
The interceptor missile, which changed its trajectory, completely reached the path of kinetic impact, and crashed straight into the target.
A few seconds later, on the starry night, two high-speed moving points of light suddenly coincided, like lights before tripping, suddenly lit up and then went out.
Everyone on the ground was stunned, they didn't understand what it meant, until the entire control hall, as if an explosion, sounded the cheers of all the Ming officers and soldiers, and then the envoys of the countries who visited the test understood, and looked at each other with dream-like eyes.
It worked? Was the experiment successful? And this shot down the missile?
Nima, are you guys outrageous, aren't you? You have successfully flown a fighter plane, you have successfully launched a ballistic missile, you have successfully tested a submarine-launched missile, and now you have also succeeded in a missile interception test. You still don't let others work, knowing that you Chinese are very smart, but you won't go against the sky to such a point, right? This is a ballistic missile interception test, which is a missile with a speed of more than a dozen times the speed of sound, after flying a few hundred kilometers, hits a missile flying at the same speed of sound in the outermost layer of the atmosphere at a height of hundreds of kilometers above the ground.
To say that one bullet hits another is a complete insult to such an experiment, which is simply equivalent to hitting another of the same shell with a tank sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile.
But you did it all the time?
"No way, we Chinese are so smart."
With a reserved smile, Yang Feng said to Johnson, who was stupid. (To be continued.) )
