Chapter 808: A Power in Science and Technology (I)
Fortunately, in order to increase the accumulation of funds and accelerate industrialization, the government has always kept the proportion of national income used for consumption very low, so at this time, it has a lot of spare power, and only needs to reduce the proportion of accumulation slightly, and the workers and peasants in the country feel that life is better, and naturally they will not care about the figures on the economic data. In fact, since China's economic growth in 1946 was caused by a labor shortage, workers' wages and bonuses increased more than in any previous year, except that the private business owners had a harder time
The exciting news of the success of the atomic bombing has also greatly satisfied the Chinese people, and objectively has also played a role in increasing the support rate of the domestic people. Therefore, in 1946 China was still a prosperous and stable scene, and it is worth mentioning that although the speed of China's economic development in 1946 fell sharply, it achieved more fruitful results in science and technology than in any previous year, and it can even be said to be unprecedented
In addition to the successful test explosion of the first atomic bomb, the "911 Project" also produced many other major achievements that were not inferior to those of the country.
After five years of hard work, in 1946 China finally made a major breakthrough in new materials and processing technology, which made it possible for China to develop a liquid ballistic missile with a range of more than 5,000 kilometers and a solid ballistic missile with a range of more than 1,500 kilometers, the former of which would exponentially increase China's land-based nuclear deterrent and thus gain the ability to launch practical artificial satellites. The latter, on the other hand, made it possible to develop ballistic missile nuclear submarines, the significance of which cannot be overestimated.
In addition, integrated circuits have also achieved mass production in this year, and at the same time, integrated circuit computers have finally been successfully developed, the latter has greatly increased the accuracy and anti-jamming capability of China's missiles, if not, even if China makes a long-range ballistic missile with a range of 5,000 kilometers, it will often fall to the outskirts of the target city or even farther away because of the poor accuracy, and the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced, and if it is other types of missiles that require higher accuracy and anti-jamming capabilities. Not to mention that.
On this basis. In the second half of 1946, China successively conducted test launches of solid ballistic nuclear missiles and liquid long-range ballistic missiles, and both of them were complete successes, marking China becoming the first country in the world to master the ability to launch long-range nuclear strikes outside the enemy's defense zone (i.e., the combat radius of bombers or the maximum range of ballistic missiles).
It must be stated. Because the world war is still going on. It is impossible for China to send ships to the far seas to collect data. As a result, the amount of fuel poured into the liquid long-range ballistic missile rocket has been reduced, allowing it to hit only the East China Sea, even though it has a design range of 5,400 kilometers and can hit Japan without any problems. Of course. For the sake of safety, secrecy, and economy (Note 1), the missile was not equipped with a real nuclear warhead, and in any case, a live test launch of a short-range nuclear missile could already provide all the data needed for the study.
In addition to strategic weapons, China has successfully developed anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles. Among them, two branches of anti-ship missiles have also appeared, one is the small-volume sea-skimming cruise anti-ship missile that has become the mainstream in history and later generations, due to its small size and weight, this anti-ship missile named "Eagle Strike-1" can be carried by frigates, speedboats and aircraft, which is very suitable for the Chinese Navy's army-building idea based on "flying and diving", but because of its small power, especially the lack of armor-piercing ability, it is somewhat powerless to deal with the new capital ships of various countries with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons and strong armor protection. In addition, the range of up to 20 km is also a problem.
Therefore, China has also developed a type of heavy anti-ship missile that is the Soviet Union's "Granite" in history at the suggestion of a young scientist, and it is worth mentioning that because the current navy's near-fire power is far from being comparable with later generations, the anti-ship missile can be built very large, so the power of the "Sea Hawk-1" heavy anti-ship missile developed by China even surpasses the historical "Granite", and its larger size also allows it to be equipped with a computer that has been greatly reduced in size and a radar with greater power. As a result, it became the world's first missile with terminal homing capability in this space-time and space
Although the performance of the ramjet engine used is not as good as that used in the historical "Granite", because of its larger size, the range of the "Seahawk-1" heavy anti-ship missile is not much inferior to that of the "Granite", reaching more than 350 kilometers. For most of the time after being launched, the "Sea Hawk-1" heavy anti-ship missile flew at an altitude of five or six thousand meters under the guidance of the early warning aircraft, with a speed of about Mach 1.5; after approaching the target, the missile would receive instructions from the early warning aircraft to turn on the radar, and the guidance mode would then be changed to active radar guidance, and it would dive down from a high altitude and pounce on the target with the strongest radar signal (it could receive the correction of the early warning aircraft), and the flight speed would soon increase to more than Mach 2.5 It's a little bigger, but it's so fast that it's almost impossible to intercept.
Under the guidance of AWACS aircraft, the accuracy of the "Seahawk-1" heavy anti-ship missile is close to 100 percent, and electronic jamming has almost no effect on it. And without the help of early warning aircraft, the "Sea Hawk-1" can also use the mechanism of "inertial guidance + timed opening of active radar", but the accuracy and anti-jamming ability are much worse, and the effective hit rate in actual combat is only more than one percent. But even so, the "Sea Hawk-1" is still the most terrifying first-generation heavy anti-ship missile in this time and space, due to its astonishing weight (total weight of more than 20 tons), and the attack method of diving into the horizontal deck from top to bottom, "Sea Hawk-1" only needs one to make the world's largest aircraft carrier incapacitated, or even directly sunk, even if it is a super battleship like Montana or Hindenburg, it only needs three or five hits to sink, if it is a light ship such as a destroyer, "Sea Hawk-1" It is even possible to completely penetrate its fragile hull from top to bottom
Note 1: The production of hydrogen bombs requires atomic bombs to ignite, and China has only one atomic bomb left after two nuclear tests, although China has achieved the industrial production of enriched uranium and plutonium for the first time in the world, but because of the weak industrial base, the annual output is only enough to build two 20,000-ton atomic bombs, coupled with the astonishingly fast progress of China's nuclear weapons research and development, it is estimated that the other conditions for the test explosion of the hydrogen bomb will be ready in a year, so the atomic bomb will not be able to be used without saving some use.
