Datang's military plan has never announced the specific budget destination and construction plan, and no one in this era will ask Datang to engage in military transparency, because no one thinks that the military should be transparent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info on European countries, they also don't want everything about themselves to be published, even if most of them can't.
In fact, there are many, many more scientific and engineering projects that Datang has carried out in secret, and the nuclear industry is like this, because it is not for ordinary people, and even college students in theoretical physics are required by the school to sign a confidentiality agreement when they learn this part. The students of the nuclear project, or even the school, secretly interviewed the outstanding students, and told the state that there was a major secret project that needed new talents, and whether they were willing to join in, and that they might be forced to remain incognito for a long time, but there would be relatively large compensation in terms of personal treatment. This is also indeed true, the main engineers involved in the Datang nuclear weapons program basically own a mansion in a deserted place (laughs).
The same is true for all missile projects, not to mention scientists engaged in intercontinental ballistic missiles, even if they are engaged in anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ship missiles, and anti-armor missiles, they are still strictly guarded. The effect of this kind of secrecy is also very good, and the outside world is completely ignorant of the upgrading of Datang's military equipment. In addition, Datang enforces strict military secrecy laws on military bases, and prohibits approaching and taking photos in forbidden places, which also makes it relatively limited for European countries to obtain military information even if they send spies.
Another scientific undertaking that is connected to the missile project, the aerospace industry, is also secretly carried out in Datang. After the successful test of Datang's first medium-range ballistic missile, then President Bai Nan asked his subordinate units to develop the aerospace industry. Datang soon launched a rocket and launched Datang's first artificial satellite into low-earth orbit. Compared with the other plane, Datang's first artificial satellite can be much more complicated, because it is directly coded with integrated circuits.
In the following period, Datang began to intensively launch artificial satellites into the sky, and these satellites have a variety of uses, including scientific satellites, communication satellites, meteorological satellites, resource satellites, etc., of course, the greatest use value for Datang may be a variety of military satellites.
Before Bai Nan stepped down, he had authorized and approved Datang's 12-year long-term space program, which was not a manned spaceflight, but a series of global positioning system satellites to build Datang's version of the Beidou system. Datang Aerospace Industry Group will first launch a test satellite, develop a ground receiver and establish a ground tracking network to verify the feasibility of the system. This was followed by preliminary networking, with the launch of six satellites to determine the accuracy and practicability of positioning. Finally, Datang will launch a total of 32 practical navigation satellites and fully build the Beidou system.
Almost all the people who travel know how the Beidou system has a huge role for military and civilian use, and its value may exceed tens of billions. Especially for the military, now they have been equipped with a large number of guided weapons, mainly inertial guidance, television guidance and infrared guidance and other modes, once they have Beidou guidance, then it will greatly enhance the military's strike capability, whether it is any long-range lethal weapons of the army, navy and air force, the power will be doubled!
Before the Beidou system was completed, reconnaissance satellites and communication satellites were the most used in the Datang military field.
While Datang's aviation industry is developing rapidly, the Air Force has developed a variety of fighter jets, and the speed of replacement is even comparable to the speed of equipment, but Datang has never developed long-range or high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, of course, no country in Europe has the ability to block or even discover this kind of high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, but Datang does not bother to waste this money at all. To engage in aircraft reconnaissance, a supersonic fighter can be used with appropriate modifications, and there is no propeller aircraft from European countries to catch up. What Datang is really interested in is a reconnaissance satellite that looks down directly from outside the atmosphere.
Datang's achievements in the launch vehicle, electronic equipment and optical industry are not small, and these subsystems were soon integrated into Datang's reconnaissance satellites. In 1810 alone, the Datang Aerospace Industry Group launched a total of 14 photographic reconnaissance satellites from outer space, mainly aimed at major European countries, collecting relevant intelligence on various military and non-military targets.
Equally important are communication satellites, in the new war situation, more and more intelligence and data are being generated, and this requires more effective and powerful means of communication and equipment, Datang has decided to establish a military information transmission system with satellite transmission as the main intermediary to coordinate various tactical and strategic tasks. The use of military communications satellites will completely revolutionize the command and intelligence system of the Tang Dynasty and bring the Tang Army into a new era.
A communication satellite mainly plays the role of a relay, quickly transmitting the information from point A on the ground to point B on the ground, and transmitting it in the previous way may require the use of cable and radio equipment, which needs to be set up for a long time, and may also be interfered with. Of course, the most important workload is in the early stage of construction, although the radio is wireless, but the construction of various ground base stations and support is also a large investment. The cost and efficiency of using communication satellites are greatly optimized.
Of course, communication satellites are not only for military purposes, but also for people to see the grand occasion of live broadcasting, and civil aviation and maritime affairs can also use them for communication, increasing convenience and security.
And while people enjoy the convenience of new technology, they don't know what brings them this convenience. Datang carefully guards information about important technologies, and even a technical term is something that is restricted to public opinion.
Of course, it is not easy to completely make others unclear. Taking artificial satellites as an example, astronomy enthusiasts on the ground often find something flashing out of their field of view when they don't have time to focus. Many people don't know what it is, and they want to search, and there is some intelligence, but European countries don't know what they are for the time being, and no European country has taken the initiative to ask Datang about the situation.
It is impossible for Datang to block the relevant news forever, it is estimated that it will not take too long, and eventually people will know all this. Because it won't take too long, Hu Fakui, who is not very peaceful, will completely solve the only political entity that may challenge the status of the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
