In the context of the fact that the confrontation between states is increasingly moving towards the confrontation of conventional war.

The mushroom egg is still the last deterrent of a great power, and as long as its nuclear arsenal exists, no one will dare to really invade such a country.

After all, everyone on this planet doesn't want to see mushroom eggs thrown around, and everyone doesn't want to pick up nuclear soda bottle caps in the wasteland.

Of course, the premise of this is that your mushroom eggs can actually hit the opponent's head.

Instead of just being able to stay on the launch pad and eat dust, then you will still be bullied.

The current domestic embarrassment is here, although our mushroom egg equivalent is large enough, one can reach the level of five million tons of TNT.

But we lack weapons capable of quickly penetrating the Eagle Sauce anti-missile system.

As for the split-guided mushroom ballistic missile, which is capable of striking dozens of targets on the opposing side at one time, although the first test launch was just completed last year, it is still far from being able to be put into actual combat.

"Xiao Zhang, your one-shot multi-star skills are good!"

After the complete success of the rocket launch mission, the chief took Zhang Xingyang to a room where there was nothing but two sofas.

first praised the technology of the Rocket Research Institute, and then said:

"This room is specially designed to shield high-power radio signals, and it is safe to talk."

"I also told you directly that the long-range ballistic missile equipped with a guided nuclear warhead that we are currently working on has encountered a technical bottleneck."

Although the chief has not yet said what the bottleneck is, from the other party's words, Zhang Xingyang can also know that the bottleneck that the other party said should be on the guidance technology.

After all, when the other party was in the control room before, when he learned that one arrow and many stars were successful, the whole person's expression was very strange.

Compared with ordinary mushroom eggs, although the equivalent of the divided mushroom eggs will be reduced, it can hit more high-value targets, and the actual combat effect is greatly improved.

Large-yield nuclear bombs are operating in the atmosphere, but most of the energy is wasted in the air.

Far less than many small-yield nuclear bombs, it is of great help to the combat system.

"Bottlenecked in the guidance technology?" Zhang Xingyang asked bluntly.

"It's really smart, it's a little bit clear!"

The chief patted Zhang Xingyang's shoulder, the other party's hand was very strong, and Zhang Xingyang felt that his shoulders were a little numb.

"Now we have a split-guided multi-warhead ballistic missile, because the split-missile technology is not up to par."

"In the course of many simulated tests, the separation and guidance technology of each sub-warhead was not up to par."

"From time to time, there will be cases where the strike deviation is too large, or the warheads are damaged by each other because the warheads are too close to each other."

"It is very difficult for us to develop a new generation of missiles that can be directly equipped with troops and put into actual combat."

The veteran chief, who has been immersed in the missile field for several decades, naturally knows very well that under such circumstances, our strategic deterrence capability will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, even the Dongfeng-5-B multi-warhead ballistic missile, which is now being developed, is relatively backward in terms of technology at this time.

Because the Dongfeng 5-B was originally developed on the basis of the Dongfeng 5, it also uses a liquid engine that is more troublesome to use.

It takes a lot of time to refuel the missile before it is used, and it does not take only a few minutes to complete the missile launch action like a missile with a solid fuel engine.

"The reason for the deviation in the navigation of the sub-warhead is largely due to the accuracy of the measurement and control equipment."

"Inertial guidance is used a lot, and the most critical of these are gyroscopes and accelerometers."

"The accuracy of the gyroscope is not enough, and it is easy to cause the angle deviation of the warhead when navigating."

As an expert in aerospace, Zhang Xingyang is not very unfamiliar with the technology of split multiple warheads with similar technology.

Its essence is not particularly different from the multi-satellite technology with one arrow, except that one payload is a satellite and the other payload is a mushroom egg.

"Of course, these can be adjusted by adjusting the form of release of the load."

Because ballistic missiles are used in space, there are many directions in which they can move after the first sub-warhead is released.

It is possible to continue the movement in the direction of the farthest strike target.

Or slow down after the first sub-warhead has been released, so that more fuel is left for the last warhead, allowing it to hit at a longer distance.

Either it moves perpendicular to the original trajectory, or it maneuvers against the lateral sector of the meteorite trajectory.

"But let's be honest, old chief."

"Now the new generation of ballistic missiles are strengthening the ability to penetrate the terminal defense, and we should also pay attention to this aspect."

"In the future, missiles that cannot reach terminal velocity above 10 times the speed of sound, and can carry out terminal maneuvering, have a very high chance of being intercepted."

For Zhang Xingyang, who is more aware of the direction of future weapons development, as long as he talks to the bigwigs who can influence the direction of future weapons, he will promote his ideas about the hypersonic nature of future weapons at every opportunity.

"If our missiles can have the ability to penetrate at terminal hypersonic speeds, then we have the strongest spear that can kill people with a strike."

"And in this way, our ability to strike quickly around the world will also be greatly enhanced!"

"It's not a dream to hit any position in the world within an hour!"

Zhang Xingyang talked about hypersonic ballistic missiles, and looked at the old chief with bright eyes.

I have to say that Zhang Xingyang's words did speak to the old chief's heart.

An hour around the globe, a military target that seems hard for anyone to refuse.

The old chief also knew that it was actually very difficult to do this.

But if we can really "hit the world in one hour", then it is estimated that no one on this planet will dare to speak loudly to us anymore!

"The difficulties here are mainly the problem of the engine of the ballistic missile, as well as the problem of the terminal maneuvering hypersonic penetration of the warhead."

"The penetration of the warhead still depends on the technology of the side-jet engine of the warhead and the technology of changing the center of mass of the rotating warhead."

Zhang Xingyang also took the initiative to talk about the technical problems here, but after finishing speaking, he also assured the old chief:

"As long as the country is in need, even if I don't eat, drink or sleep, I will break these technologies!"

The old chief patted Zhang Xingyang's shoulder appreciatively, but did not express his assurance:

"Let's talk about the problem of subdivision technology first!"

As for Zhang Xingyang's proposal for terminal hypersonic maneuvering and one hour around the world, there is not much talk about it.

However, Zhang Xingyang believes that his concept must have left a deep impression on the old chief's heart!
