"What the hell, they crashed into our drone?"

Chen Nian looked at the report in front of him and asked in surprise.

He was a little unbelievable, how did you hit such a wide sea and such a small target?

Good guys, Vietnamese monkeys touch porcelain, you guys also touch porcelain, right?

But isn't that a bit too much to pay?

What do you think about the loss of one FA-18 and the destruction of several drones that cost less than 20,000 yuan?

Chen Guo on the other side was also full of helplessness, he shook his head and said:

"Judging from the situation at the scene, it should be that they wanted to penetrate the provocation at a low altitude, and they happened to encounter our drone swarm, because the radar reflection area was too small and they did not avoid it in time."

"It can't be regarded as not avoiding it, in fact, the long plane still avoided it, but it was so fast that it blew the drone away."

"The wingman air intake at the back sucked in fragments of the parts and shut the engine straight away"

"Then they're really out of luck."

Chen Nian replied speechlessly.

"Who's to say it isn't? Now it is said that flight training on the Reagan side has been suspended. ”

"They probably think that's how the drone swarm is used, and it's crooked."

Hearing Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian shook his head with a smile.

In fact, how can drone swarms be so useful!

In a real aerial duel, they are unlikely to play any role, as they are too small, too slow, and do not have over-the-horizon attack capabilities.

If it is a serious war, an electronic jamming machine can directly paralyze the entire drone group.

But the problem is that now the Reagan is obviously in a wait-and-see state, and they just want to use air pressure to probe their bottom line, but they didn't expect that they were really unlucky and hit a "minefield" in the air.

Originally, this incident exposed our own lack of radar warning and exposed our own weaknesses.

But the end result is completely the opposite?

Chen Nian sighed and said:

"It's all a coincidence, and it can only be said that it's good luck to be able to take advantage of this kind of profit."

"But we also need to pay attention to the problems reflected in it."

"Our maritime radar system is so poor that when the opponent rushes into the line of sight at a low altitude, it does not really enter the combat state."

"Fortunately, they are just trying to provoke, if it is an offensive action, then one will take a look, and several of our warships will already be gone."

Chen Guo nodded solemnly and said approvingly:

"The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, this time we are really timid."

"They will react very quickly, and I estimate that the process will not take more than three days."

"Once we react, then we will be exposed and the situation will be even more difficult."

Hearing this, Chen Nian nodded helplessly.

"In short, the situation on the sea will be difficult for a long time to come."

"There's not much we can do, we just have to maintain the status quo for the time being."

"However, the DF-17 is making good progress, so I can only hope that this big killer can be born as soon as possible."

Chen Guo also sighed, his gaze turned out the window, there was both worry and expectation in his eyes

While the two were discussing the progress on the sea, on the other side, in the CALT Institute, Zhu Xuejun was nervously arranging the trial production of DF-17.

In the past few weeks, according to the technology provided by Chen Nian, the research and development of DF-17 has been carried out at a rapid pace.

The first thing that was completed was the manufacture of the projectile body, and thanks to the detailed and standard drawings, the design of the launch layout was practically not met with any difficulties.

From model design, to completion of wind tunnel testing, to transfer to one-to-one physical manufacturing, the whole process took only two weeks.

All the experiments were passed at one time, and due to the blessing of new materials, there were no problems in both the strength test and the heat resistance test.

This surprised Zhu Xuejun.

She never thought that the research and development of a new piece of equipment could go so smoothly.

Even, the comprehensive heat dissipation design of heat circulation, which she was still a little inaccurate, was also solved because of the capillary cooling effect of the projectile material itself.

As Chen Nian said, "If you can't figure it out, let me come."

He was not directly involved, but what he left behind was always working.

In addition, the progress of the improvement of the high-combustion ramjet engine is also a miracle.

On the basis of the original DF-15 engine, engineers replaced key components, modified key designs, used new high-temperature resistant materials, and completely upgraded the already old engine.

In terms of performance, the new engine can theoretically support the DF-17 missile to reach a range of more than 1,200 kilometers, and the terminal penetration speed has reached an astonishing Mach 8.

What is this concept?

You know, a speed of Mach 5 is already capable of tearing through the "absolute defense" of the Aegis system, and Mach 8 means that the aircraft carrier is really just a target.

As long as you find it, you destroy it!

This series of developments has greatly boosted the morale of the engineers involved in the project, and each of them has seen a bright future.

Now, the DF-17 is in the final stages of assembly, and once the final checks have been completed, the refueling can begin for the first test launch.

Zhu Hongjun stood next to the No. 01 experimental bomb, subconsciously reached out to touch the cold metal bomb, and asked the engineer beside him:

"Is the projectile detection complete? Questions? ”

"It's done, no problem."

"In addition, the solid fuel is ready, and assembly will begin immediately."

"We've checked them all, and now we can say that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed."

Hearing this answer, Zhu Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief.

Her heart swelled with indescribable emotions one after another.

What is DF-17 for her?

Is that really just a missile?

Obviously, no.

This missile carries a kind of hope.

A kind of hope that can overcome the embarrassing situation of so-called "asymmetric competition" and the tragic strategy of "destroying each other" to enter the "confrontational competition" and enter the table of fair and honest confrontation.

Even the other DF series project she had on hand at this time didn't give her this feeling.

Because of the essence of that project, it is still necessary to find a way to ensure that after the outbreak of the hot war, the own side has the ability to die together.

And what about the DF-17?

Its goal is not to die together, but to destroy it at a fixed point!

Its appearance has made its own means of warfare more possible.

Aren't you going to fight?

Okay, then play the way you want it to.

I just want you to know that even in the field of "skirmishes" that you are good at, we are definitely not vulnerable!

——

The era of relying on an aircraft carrier formation to run amok may be far from over, but at least, the death knell has sounded.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xuejun breathed a long sigh of relief.

This breath spit out all the blocks that had been stagnant in her heart for a long time.

Then, a smile appeared on her face.

She spoke:

"If it's all ready, then report to your superiors and get ready to start testing."

"Our neighbors have been waiting too long."

"They are making waves at sea, and we should blow the wind too."

A few days later.

A dazzling flash of fire pierced the sky, dragging a moving zigzag trajectory.

The starting point of the trajectory is in Jiuquan, and the landing point is directed to the depths of the Inner Mongolia grassland.

Chen Nian, who was far away at the Western University of Technology, did not see this trajectory with his own eyes, but the moment he received the news, he clearly realized something.

The era when the east wind blows down the stars like rain is really coming.
