"Guys, look, here's a map of the Marina Launch Center, I think you know better than I do."

Tang Chao stood in front of the big screen in the conference room, pointed to the map and said.

"Here, here, and here, here, all of these places are less than 4 kilometers away from the launch pad."

"Of course, this is still not a firearm that is ordinary, relatively easy to hide, so it is ruled out."

"4 kilometers is nothing for some artillery, but those artillery pieces have a characteristic, that is, they are large, and it is impossible to use artillery to attack here within a radius of a few kilometers, and no one knows about it, so it is also ruled out."

"Then there is only one thing left that is both hidden, has a long range, and has obvious destructive power to thin armor, everyone look at this photo."

As he spoke, Tang Chao opened a photo, and there was a row of long guns and short cannons on it.

However, these long guns and short cannons are different from the guns and cannons mentioned above, and the shots shown in this photo are actually photographic and videography.

He didn't look for it on purpose, as long as he searched for "long guns and short cannons" on the whiteness, and all he found were these photos.

Seeing this, the people in the conference room talked about it, but some people's faces immediately turned ugly.

Apparently, they guessed something.

And the pictures Tang Chao showed next confirmed their ideas.

"Look at this, it looks a lot like those long guns and short cannons, right, because it's also a cannon ......."

Before he finished speaking, several people subconsciously shouted, "Laser cannon!" ”

"Yes!"

Tang Chao nodded solemnly.

Yes, just looking at the shape of the laser cannon's launcher and those super telephoto lenses, they are both long cylinders and optical lenses, and even the color is mostly white.

There are also civilian astronomical telescopes, which are similar in appearance alone, with long cylinders and huge optical lenses, and also have white paint.

If you are a layman who does not know the doorway here, and you are not allowed to take it apart and look at it, and only look at the appearance, you are likely to be confused.

Right now, the locations Tang Chao said, there must be all kinds of "long guns and short cannons" on them, and you can find many super huge shots, all of which are aimed at the Long March 9 and shoot fiercely.

"Comrade Tang Chao, I know that the laser cannon is powerful, but the energy and equipment it requires are equally huge, not to mention the ship-based, at least the vehicle-mounted, so the target is still very big, right?" Someone asked.

This question doesn't need to be answered by Tang Chao, the person in charge of security tasks can answer him.

"Performing espionage missions is different from military operations, espionage missions do not need to consider the endurance of laser weapons, for him, as long as he can launch once, he can irradiate for dozens of seconds, he can complete the task."

"Even he doesn't have to take the equipment away, as long as the mission is completed, everything can be discarded, which is equivalent to taking out an aircraft carrier with a disposable bazooka."

Someone opened their minds, and aerospace experts began to express their opinions.

"Yes, and the rocket launch window is just as important for laser weapons, you think about the current weather conditions, cloudless, very little suspended matter in the air, extremely high visibility, then there is less scattering for lasers, and now it is very suitable for the use of laser weapons."

"If it is a laser weapon, the other party really does not need to consider the endurance problem, the rocket body is already very thin, in addition to the friction surface and the engine nozzle can withstand the extreme heat for a certain period of time, it is not easy for the general arrow body to support the overall structure, it can be said that it is very fragile, as long as the other party can destroy a point and break the structural balance, the consequences are unimaginable."

"That's right, that's it, I think about when the other party might do it!"

An aerospace expert suddenly stood up and said loudly: "If the opponent's endurance is very poor and there is only one chance to make a move, then the opponent is likely to choose to do it when the rocket ignites and takes off!" ”

"Due to the large mass of the Long March 9, the first stage and the booster are fueled by liquid oxygen kerosene, so it is impossible to take off immediately after ignition, and you need to wait a few seconds until the full thrust can take off."

"At this time, although the rocket is still on the launch pad, it can no longer be stopped, and the rocket will produce a huge vibration, if the other party launches a laser at this time to burn the rocket shell, even if a few seconds are not enough to burn through the rocket body, it will cause irreversible damage to the arrow body, even if it does not explode on the launch pad, it will explode in the air!"

"Yes, yes, that's at this point in time, the other party bribed insiders to attract our attention, and used false alarms to paralyze us, making us think that the rocket is safe, and if we let the rocket take off on time, we will definitely be led by the nose by the spy!"

"If that's the case, then we can only postpone the launch, and then search for the real spy and his weapon, and then check the arrow body in all aspects, and wait until it is really confirmed that there is no problem, and then we can launch the ......"

The people in the conference room are all highly intelligent people, and every word you say to me can instantly deduce a possible spy sabotage plan.

The more detailed he said, the more people agreed with this plan, Tang Chao, as a person who threw bricks and stones, listened to their analysis, and he also felt that the other party would attack when the rocket was ignited.

Merely......

The spy thinks that the technology has progressed and can use laser weapons to complete the task unknowingly, but only the opponent's scientific and technological strength is improving?

Not.

Everyone's scientific and technological strength is improving, not to mention Tang Chao's hanging force!

So listening to the opinions of experts about the intention to cancel the rocket launch mission, he had a different idea.

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

Tang Chao's voice was very clear, very obvious in the buzzing discussion, and when he heard that he had something to say, everyone fell silent.

"I know you're all in a hurry, but everyone is also concerned about it, and the spies have used unconventional methods of destruction, but this Long March 9 rocket ...... Nor is it the Long March 9 rocket for which it was originally designed! ”

"Although the Long March 9 rocket that flew for the first time did not have recycling equipment, we have decided to use it to test some recovery technologies, such as new rocket body materials."

"In the past, rockets were only used once, except for key parts, the heat resistance in other places was very poor, but now it is different, to be recycled, the heat generated by friction during take-off and landing must first be carried down."

"Although you haven't got the experimental data yet, believe me, we have done a lot of experiments before, and if it is only a short period of low-intensity laser irradiation, it will not have much impact on the arrow body."

"We have been in contact for a long time, you may know that I am very confident, and even in the eyes of many people, I am a little too confident, in fact, I don't believe in myself, I just believe in science and data."

"So this time, please believe me, believe in science, our Long March 9 can take off normally."

After Tang Chao finished speaking, everyone was silent.

After calming down, they did remember that one of the many experimental projects to be completed for the first flight of the Long March 9 rocket was to test the heat resistance of the new material rocket body.

There is no recovery device, that is, they will fall directly into the sea like the previous rocket body, but this time it is different from the previous one, they are to be fished back, and then the degree of impact of high temperature on the rocket body is analyzed.

By the way, it can also analyze the degree of corrosion of the arrow body by a wave of marine environment and the degree of damage to the arrow body by direct fall.

The only place in the country where super-heavy rockets can be launched is the coastal launch site, which is close to the sea, and if you want to use the old rocket to launch again, you must definitely consider the problem of corrosion.

There is also such a large arrow body, which has a bearing effect on the impact force when re-landing.

And the strongest detection is to let the arrow body withstand the high temperature baptism of take-off and landing, and then directly smash into the seawater.

There are too many experimental tasks to be completed for the first flight, and they are used to saving them, and they are eager to pile up all the test items when they were designed before, so as to do an experimental task that saves money and tests more.

That's what I used to do.

It's just that this time the rocket is big enough, and there are enough experimental tasks piled up, plus I am in such a hurry, and my mind is all on the spy sabotage, and I really don't think about it.

As for believing in science, there are engineers in the room, and no one believes in science more than they do.

But when it comes to believing Tang Chao, this ......

[Zhao Li made a phone call. 】

"Okay, then launch on time, your company's important payload is still on it, and I don't think you want to fail!" The commander-in-chief said.

Tang Chao solemnly assured: "Believe me, that's right." ”

"And if the launch mission is not terminated, the spy will not run away, and people can go to a secret search, especially where there are long barrel structures, optical lenses and a large number of batteries at the same time."
