Chapter 814: Top Secret Test
"The air target has been identified and locked, 100,000 kilowatts of beam energy electromagnetic wave soft damage test, the countdown to the first test begins, 10, 9, 8 ...... 1! Launch! On the twin islands, the strong electromagnetic soft damage research project supervised by Duke quickly completed the theoretical preparation and test plan, and began the actual test work. With the order of the project commander, the engineer of the Twin Islands Control Beam Energy Electromagnetic Transmitter clicked the launch button on the computer, and a powerful electromagnetic wave instantly hit a satellite-shaped test chamber 80,000 meters above the Twin Islands.
This is a destructive test device carried by a hot air balloon to the high altitude, and the test site is filled with different types of computing chips and satellite transmission baseband chips used by various US military satellites. In accordance with Duke's requirements, the protective measures taken on the periphery of these chips are basically the same as the protection of the actual US military satellites obtained by the intelligence departments; even if we have not yet mastered the specific protection capabilities of some US military satellites, domestic satellite development units will analyze and predict them, and use domestic approximation technology to simulate them.
Due to the strong lethality of beam energy electromagnetic waves to electronic components, Duke's experimental team no longer uses drones to carry, but uses hot air balloons, so that after the destructive test is completed, it can be more convenient to recycle, unlike drones, which will make the drone fly directly out of control, or damage the engine electronic system after causing the engine to stop operating and crash, in the first experiment of strong electromagnetic wave destructive test, a pterodactyl drone became an uncontrollable aircraft, In the end, Air Force fighters had to be dispatched to shoot it down over the sea.
In this research, Duke is not completely without foundation, because in the Lotus base, since the successful development of the beam energy electromagnetic wave transmitter, two research branches have been conducting related research at the same time, and have achieved a lot of results and valuable experimental data.
Based on this data, Duke quickly used the island's supercomputing center and Kerry to deduce a series of experimental simulation formulas, and today's experiment is based on some parameters derived from the simulation calculation.
Among them, the 100,000 kilowatt level of electromagnetic wave soft damage used in the first test today is a medium-power intensity electromagnetic beam near-space electromagnetic soft damage test, which is not the pursuit of instantaneous damage to the function of the target electronic components, but is prepared to cause strong electromagnetic damage to these electronic components under the condition of strong electromagnetic radiation for a long time (such as 30 seconds for a long time), which is more widely used than the strong electromagnetic instantaneous hard damage. On the other hand, failures are more like natural accidents and are more difficult to detect.
Soon, when the experimental cabin was recovered, after the testing of electronic engineers, the test achieved part of the goal, some electronic components have completely failed under the electromagnetic wave radiation of this power intensity, but some have survived tenaciously.
However, today we are not only conducting this test, but also the second and third tests while collecting and analyzing here...... After more than a dozen well-designed near-space beam energy electromagnetic wave soft damage tests, Duke's team finally mastered the critical condition data of damage to key electronic components such as US military satellite computing chips and transmission base chips in the presence of a near-space atmosphere.
With these key new test data parameters, the accuracy of the simulation applications developed by Duke can be further improved, and the critical lethal power can be derived that is closer to the actual damage when performing electromagnetic attack soft damage to targets at longer distances.
After completing the confirmatory near-space electromagnetic wave soft damage test and achieving perfect test results, Duke's strong electromagnetic wave soft damage research group obtained a real low-earth orbit satellite for testing, which is a military reconnaissance satellite owned by the PLA that has been in operation for nearly eight years and is about to be scrapped.
In terms of core computing chips and satellite transmission base chips, all the chips used are from the United States, before Duke was born, our country did not have the ability to produce this kind of precision and reliable chips, of course, now the chip department of SAL company has the core chip design and production capacity of today's top international IT industry, whether it is a CPU / GPU used in computers or mobile phones, or DSP and transmission base chips for various decoding applications.
It is precisely because of these shocking achievements that the domestic computer industry and the information industry now have the capital to develop independently and independently and have the ability to compete with the two industries in the United States in an all-round way.
But now, Duke's research team is trying to solve the big problem of how to use the beam-energy electromagnetic transmitter of the twin islands and how to covertly and effectively solve the big problem of US military satellites. After careful preparation, the Duke team's first satellite strong electromagnetic wave attack test entered the real implementation stage, in order to minimize the impact of weather factors on the test and confidentiality, this test deliberately chose a clear night.
In the far mainland, Duke watched every move of the Twin Islands Test Center through the remote high-definition video system developed by SAL on a huge magic mirror curtain wall, although he was also a little excited in his heart, but after careful calculations by the research team, Duke actually had nine percent success in his heart for tonight's experiment.
At the same time, there were also a number of bigwigs of the Beijing Military Commission, who also deliberately broke away from the heavy military planning and watched today's key test on the spot.
Their mood is completely different from Duke's, although the research team has reported to them in advance the briefing of this experiment, and there is a very clear explanation of the main steps and success probability of the experiment, but before seeing the actual results, no one will inevitably have some drums. Before the countdown to the test began, Vice Chairman Liu couldn't sit still, walking around in an independent remote video conference room in the command and operations center, looking a little restless.
"Old man, Duke said that there is no problem in this experiment, so there is basically no problem." Qin Tairan, who was specially summoned to watch and undertake the task of explaining this special test, was sure in his heart, there was no one in this world who was more confident than him in Duke's words, and in this regard, Qin Tairan had blindly obeyed to the point that even Duke's wife Shu Ya could not compare.
"Xiao Qin, you are full of confidence in Duke" Vice Chairman Liu stopped, stared at Qin Tairan and said, "The success of this experiment is crucial to our army's next battle plan, and the probability of failure is also worrying." ”
The People's Liberation Army (PLA), which still has a large and serious gap in strength with the US military in terms of naval and air strength, can rely on land to fight with the US military as soon as possible, but if it really continues to fight hard according to the current situation, the best result will be that both sides will lose, and neither PLA nor the US military will be able to help anyone in the end, but in this way, the main battlefield will be fought around the southeastern coast, the richest part of the mainland, and the economy of these regions will regress by at least 20 years.
Although with Cape Canaveral's tough counterattack, it is very unlikely that the US military will dare to deliberately target civilian targets when attacking, but when it comes to fighting each other, how can the major coastal cities be completely spared.
What worries Vice Chairman Liu even more is that if the offshore oil fields in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, which were built with great difficulty, lose their ability to defend the sea and air as a result of this war, I am afraid that these oil fields will also become prey in the hands of others.
This is the blood of domestic industry, and not only Vice Chairman Liu cannot afford to take responsibility for this failure, but even the entire ruling team headed by the No. 1 leader may become a sinner in history.
However, if today's Duque test can be a complete success, then the premise of solving the premise that most of the US military's military satellites passing over the country will be tantamount to pulling out more than half of the US military's eyes and ears, and this is of great military value, which can increase the probability of victory for the PLA by at least 2 percent.
This makes it very clear how Vice Chairman Liu can calm down, and now the pressure on him is so great, not to mention the whole of China, even in the world, it is also among the top few.
For these causes and effects, Qin Tairan is not very clear, with his position and the information he has now, he is still in the field of relatively simple military equipment, if Duke's beam energy electromagnetic launcher can be improved and can freely damage military satellites in low earth orbit, for the PLA, it is an additional mysterious space weapon, which can expand the scope of use of the PLA's weapons and equipment to space.
For the future scramble for space, Duke's invention is obviously more covert and effective than a disposable anti-satellite missile. In other words, in the future space war, we can rely on this killer feature to get an absolute head start!
Therefore, the advent of this new weapon is of epoch-making significance to the PLA.
As the test time approached, in several places in Chinese mainland, the atmosphere gradually tended to solidify, even if it was as indifferent as Duke, blindly following Qin Tairan, in the countdown to the chief test commander of the twin islands, he couldn't help but hold his breath, and even the rhythm of his heartbeat began to beat with the countdown sound!
After a suffocating 30 seconds, with the latest information from the ground-based satellite monitoring station, the ground-based satellite system could no longer receive any signal from this test satellite! The Twin Islands Command Center burst into warm applause.
In the capital, Vice Chairman Liu was also relieved, and after taking a long breath, he sat on the sofa for more than ten seconds without saying a word!
