The stealth and obvious optical characteristics of the "Snow Bird" radar are not due to the poor consideration of the design team.

This problem was thought of as early as when they were testing engines with an unmanned platform, and when flying at hypersonic speeds above Mach 10, the air would naturally produce a large amount of plasma in a violent collision, and these plasmas would radiate a variety of electromagnetic waves, including visible light and infrared signatures.

The original team came up with a way to apply an electric field at the engine's intake, which guided the plasma through the airframe in the desired route and finally merged with the engine's wake.

The confined plasma forms an enveloped elliptical cloud that can not only absorb electromagnetic waves in many bands to improve stealth, but also disperse to significantly reduce detectability.

The technology originated in the 50s and was later tested at the prototype stage of the Blackbird, but was eventually cancelled due to control difficulties.

Now, with the great advancement of computer-controlled technology, the desert base has made plasma stealth a reality.

In the test of the small unmanned demonstration aircraft, it achieved very good results, but the body of the "Snow Bird" was too large and collided more violently, and the resulting plasma cloud was more difficult to control, which led to its observation being extremely obvious, in fact, the radar stealth effect was also greatly affected, and under normal circumstances, it was more than ten times more difficult for the radar of the anti-missile system to catch him.

The new solution proposed by Anderov is a technical idea, which is not very well understood by those present, but it is enough to know that "it can be improved", and it is not a good thing to be too ostentatious.

Then the last topic is space evacuation...... No, the idea of a space emergency command center is as feasible as possible.

Every nuclear-armed power will inevitably consider the issue of command in the apocalypse, and as long as the leadership remains in place and can maintain contact, the ability to counterattack and cohesion will not be diluted.

Although all countries have bunkers underground enough to withstand any known attack, who can guarantee that the upper floors will be at the entrance of the bunker when the nuclear button is pressed?

So the "Doomsday Plane" was born, taking Aramco as an example, they used a Boeing 747 modification, codenamed E-4B, in order to protect the airframe from electromagnetic pulses and radiation fallout, and the avionics system used vacuum tubes and analog circuits on a large scale to enhance reliability in the event of electromagnetic disturbances.

Every time the boss travels, it follows behind the president's landline, and takes off and cruises with high-level personnel in wartime, because a large number of fuel storage tanks are added, which can stay in the air for 34 hours, enough to return to the mainland from any corner of the earth, and let the high-level command remotely.

Under the current level of technology in a nuclear war, the survivability of doomsday aircraft is still quite strong, but there was no real special plane in China before, let alone doomsday planes.

In the past, China planned to purchase a C832 for modification, but the dual-engine platform was not as risk-resistant as Aramco's four-engine platform, and it could not produce a four-engine aircraft specifically for this purpose, so the progress was relatively slow if the will was not firm.

This emergency made the superiors feel deeply inconvenient, when the C832 ordered by the special plane can only be officially delivered and operated next month, this time it is still a temporary 747, it is very troublesome to deal with affairs in flight, and if it is a real war, there is almost no command ability.

It just so happened that the space avoidance was bumped into in this incident, so the above wanted to know if it was possible to build a doomsday command center in space.

And for this question, Academician She and Lin Ju have discussed the answer:

"If there was a need for a safer doomsday plane, we proposed that it could be retrofitted with the Tengyun Project.

Even if you use it as a special plane to travel, as long as you can guarantee fuel, you can not only access it quickly, but also enter space in an emergency, which is safer than any kind of doomsday plane now.

During regular flight, Tengyun can work without using the air tip mode, and can still reach a speed of more than Mach 10, and visit the world in an hour. ”

Everyone: "......"

After Academician She finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room for a while, and then someone in the military raised their hands.

I saw him stand up after receiving permission, and let out his sincere doubts:

"Then why don't we just use the Snowbird to transform the special plane? It would be nice to fly straight back to the mainland in an hour, and it would have flown high enough to avoid the effects of a nuclear explosion. ”

“……”

“……”

Lin Ju listened to it below and felt that it made sense, anyway, he always had to return to his native command in the end, right?

And this benevolent brother also asked another soul question:

"I remember that the Tengyun project seems to be using low-temperature methane fuel, which needs to be refilled temporarily, and the preparation time is at least a few hours, I'm afraid it's too late, right?"

“……”

Miscalculated.

Because they were in a hurry, Academician She and Lin Ju really didn't think about it so much, and they patronized to discuss last night's events, but they didn't expect to make low-level mistakes.

And Anderov also stood up at the right time:

"We've had plans to use the Snowbird to convert a private jet before, and it's almost feasible, and it's okay on my side."

Superior: "The comrades of the Aviation Development Commission will go out first for the time being, and then come back later." ”

……

After more than an hour, when everyone else had left, seven or eight members of the Aviation Development Committee were re-summoned to the meeting.

This is the end of the relationship between the August 12 incident and the aerospace port, and now the superiors are concerned about another matter.

I saw that the big guy threw the issue of JAD that published Academician Yu's paper on the table, and he didn't have a good air:

"No one cares about you for a few days, and you're going to use hydrogen bombs to blow up the moon, if we stay a little longer, won't we come back to the moon?"

Academician She: "This matter is not right for me, the comrades just put forward the idea, it is my ......"

The superior stopped the bitter love show between the two of them, and now there are no outsiders who are almost there, so he took a break from drinking saliva and asked:

"Is this hydrogen bomb really necessary or propaganda?

If it's a conventional means, how much effort does it take? ”

Seeing this, Lin Ju hurriedly called up the data on the tablet, which was the real data calculated by the Aviation Development Commission, which was far less exaggerated than the millions of tons of explosives rumored in the outside world.

In order to set off the convenience of the hydrogen bomb, there are many places to secretly change the concept when publicizing it, and it seems that it is completely unfeasible, but in fact, the explosives and programs used in the mining of the moon are very different from the earth, and the amount used is much smaller.

But the superiors still gasped when they saw it, just the explosives needed at least 100,000 tons, and the chemical plant with a total weight of 600 tons needed to be launched to the moon, which took three years to complete, and the total plan was to launch 4,000 tons of payload to the lunar surface, which lasted five years, and the launch and transportation costs 8 billion yuan, with a total investment of about 18 billion yuan, counting personnel and other maintenance costs, and finally completed at about 22 billion yuan.

With this investment, this cycle, United Mining may have to be dragged bankrupt.

The superior put down the tablet and rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and wanted to say that if the mining plan was not canceled, more than 20 billion yuan would be invested in this stubble alone, and the total cost of hundreds of billions of yuan would not be exaggerated, and the economic cost was too poor.

Finally, after a long time, he said melancholy and resolutely:

"We are now standing on the cusp of the wind, and it is very sensitive for the official to take out a hydrogen bomb to blow up the moon, and it is easy to become an attack."

Lin Ju and Academician She were disappointed, but this was also expected.

Just as they were about to give up in despair, they heard the voice of their superiors again:

"But it's not completely impossible, we are not the only ones who can provide hydrogen bombs, since you plan to use them to open mines, then these hydrogen bombs are also a special kind of mine explosives.

United Mining is a commercial company, so why not try to solve it through commercial channels and conduct external bidding? ”

"Huh? *3”
