A big country of aerospace with black technology

Only Zhang Xingyang, standing at the back, looked calm.

When everyone was asking what was going on, he said:

"This is a surprise test I arranged."

The original drone swarm test should have ended when the last drone was shot down.

However, before the test, Zhang Xingyang arranged this special drone in order to see everyone's reaction to emergencies.

In fact, he had already tampered with the previous drone formation.

The other drones are all covering for this drone.

Those drones blocked places where lasers might directly attack from all angles.

This is also the reason why it can persist until the end.

After hearing Zhang Xingyang's statement, most people present were surprised.

After all, before the experiment, no one discovered that Zhang Xingyang had tampered with the equipment.

"Why do you want to do this?" Geng Bo asked with some confusion.

In fact, not to mention that Geng Bo didn't understand, most of the scientific researchers present except those officers didn't understand.

From an experimental point of view, Zhang Xingyang's sudden change of the test process is very bad and will destroy the normal process of the experiment.

But the officers can understand, because since it is a simulated battlefield, it is reasonable for some unexpected situations to occur.

"To simulate real battlefield conditions."

Zhang Xingyang then followed them and got into the vehicle heading to the location of the laser weapon.

On the bumpy car, Zhang Xingyang looked at the smoke in the distance and said: "We cannot always assume that the enemy is a guerrilla armed force without advanced weapons."

"What to do if high-speed missiles appear? This is also something we have to consider."

Although Zhang Xingyang's handmade small missile is very fast, it has no explosive lethality and is filled with smoke-generating agent.

Therefore, it did not cause much damage to the laser device, but only left a choking smoke at the scene.

"You should tell us at least." Geng Bo complained a little:

"Such a silent change of experimental equipment left us completely unprepared."

Zhang Xingyang also felt a little embarrassed. This time it seemed that he really scared them.

"Next time for sure, next time for sure!"

The jeep was traveling very fast, and it only took 20 minutes to cover dozens of kilometers, and almost the entire journey was over 80 yards.

This was still on a gravel road, and everyone's breakfast was almost knocked out.

After arriving at the destination, Geng Bo was the first to jump out of the car, holding on to the car and retching a few times, and then gave the driver Shi Yifei a middle finger.

As a result, Shi Yifei only laughed with a strong sense of ridicule.

Zhang Xingyang also rubbed his belly after getting off the car, and then said to Shi Yifei helplessly:

"Lao Shi, why don't I drive the car next time?"

"It's really dangerous for you to drive!"

Under the condemnation of everyone, everyone walked to the front of the laser air defense device.

In the intense operation just now, the laser system fired at least five to six hundred laser beams, which put various components to a severe test.

The staff who stayed on the ground were still nervously checking whether there were any problems with the machines.

When the gas laser generator is operating at high speed, the speed at which the waste gas collection device processes the waste gas cannot keep up with the speed at which it generates waste gas.

This results in that during high-speed operation, the exhaust gas can only be discharged directly into the air.

"There is still a lot of room for improvement in the exhaust gas treatment device."

Zhang Xingyang looked at the gas laser generator and said.

The treatment of waste gas is actually related to the intensity of the laser, because if the waste gas is not processed in time, the waste gas will float in front of the laser generator and interfere with the laser.

The method currently adopted by Zhang Xingyang and others is still relatively crude.

Faced with such a situation, a fan is used to blow away the gas in front of the laser generator.

"The main problem now is that the power of the compressor is not enough. When the laser generator runs at high speed, the compressor cannot keep up with its speed."

Geng Bo squatted down and looked at the compressor, which could not keep up with the speed of exhaust gas production even at its maximum power.

"Are there any cracks in the explosion reaction chamber?"

The exhaust gas issue is actually not the focus. After all, environmental protection is not that important during the war, but the reaction room is very critical.

During the use of the explosion reaction chamber, the recoil force will cause a strong impact on it.

Moreover, the number and frequency of use of laser weapons is much higher than that of traditional artillery, anti-aircraft guns, etc.

In the extreme state, it can reach a speed of 100 rounds per minute.

Each shot requires an explosion to provide energy, which places extremely high requirements on the strength of the main body of the reaction chamber.

The personnel who were still inspecting the reaction chamber stood up and reported: "No cracks that may have a major impact on the reaction chamber have been found so far."

Zhang Xingyang's worried heart finally calmed down.

"Xingyang, your car is very fast!"

The old chief and the others also arrived at the location of the laser weapon at this time.

Their car, considering the old leader's physical problems, could not drive as fast as Shi Yifei.

They arrived almost ten minutes later than Zhang Xingyang and the others.

Zhang Xingyang glanced at Shi Yifei not far away with a smile and said, "We have a good driver!"

The old chief did not dwell too much on this issue. He turned to look at the laser weapon station that looked like a small house:

"How about it, can it still work?"

"For now, I can still continue working." Zhang Xingyang said after taking a look.

In fact, during the design, Zhang Xingyang and the others had calculated how long the liquid hydrogen could work after a single replenishment of liquid hydrogen.

The final conclusion was that a single replenishment could fire the laser at least 3,000 times.

This is equivalent to 3,000 rounds of ammunition.

However, considering the various accidents that may occur, it is stipulated that an inspection must be carried out every 1,000 launches.

Although the old chief is a little envious of the big toy of the laser weapon station, he also knows that this thing is really not suitable for domestic use scenarios.

So I just took a look without asking too many questions.

Unless Zhang Xingyang and others make a megawatt laser weapon, it may still be of some use in anti-missile.

These laser weapon stations, which can only counter rockets, artillery shells, and drones, are not very cost-effective for the army.

Because the Army emphasizes mobility, it must at least be able to be transferred through a truck chassis.

And it can almost only be used in fixed venues, which greatly limits its use scenarios.

"Is that drone you just made expensive?" The old chief pulled Zhang Xingyang to a corner of the venue and asked.

The army officers next to him also looked at Zhang Xingyang with curiosity.

"It's not too expensive. We make a lot of things by ourselves. A plane costs less than 5,000 yuan."

Zhang Xingyang felt a little frightened when so many people looked at him. Their eyes looked like they were seeing a golden dragon.

"If mass production is carried out, how low can it be reduced?" the old leader then asked.

He also knows that the cost of producing these industrial products in small quantities and mass production can be almost several times different.

"If a factory is built specifically for production, the annual output of 10,000 aircraft can be reduced to about 3,000 yuan."

Zhang Xingyang gave this answer after calculating the main costs of drones.

The most expensive parts of a drone are the motor and control chip, and other parts are not too expensive.

With large-scale procurement, the cost of these things can be kept to a minimum.

"Is the military interested in purchasing?" Zhang Xingyang raised his eyebrows and looked at the old leader and asked.

The old chief nodded. In fact, the military is increasingly convinced that drones will play an important role in future battlefields.

However, no unified conclusion has been reached regarding its usage situation.

Some people think that the structure and size of the drone determine that it can only undertake less intense reconnaissance missions.

In terms of combat, there is no room for improvement.

But just on the battlefield, the scene of drones launching small missiles seemed to break these people's inherent ideas.

If a small missile is loaded with total nitrogen explosive, even if the charge is less than one hundred grams.

It's also completely enough to punch a big hole in the top of a tank or other heavily armored target.

"The military has actually had ideas about drones for a long time, but it just hasn't figured out what technical route to take." The old chief spoke out their current situation in a low voice.

Zhang Xingyang can naturally understand it. After all, the drone industry at this time was not as developed as it was later because it was restricted by the electronics industry.

There is also relatively little exploration of drones.

"The development routes of drones actually have their own advantages."

Zhang Xingyang saw that everyone seemed to be interested in this topic, so he simply said more.

After all, it will take some time for the laser weapons on that side to sort out data and perform maintenance.

“First of all, UAVs can be divided into rotorcraft and fixed-wing in terms of flight methods.

Somewhat similar to the difference between helicopters and fighter jets. "

These days, even army officers don’t know much about drones, so Zhang Xingyang starts from the beginning:

“The advantage of a gyrocopter is that it is smaller and easier for frontline soldiers to carry. A quadrotor drone does not weigh more than a few kilograms.

Whether it is used for mission reconnaissance or for throwing small explosives, it is more convenient.

But it also has disadvantages, that is, it is limited by its size and cannot cruise for a long time. The height limit and distance limit are relatively large. "

The officers surrounding Zhang Xingyang fell into thinking after hearing the advantages and disadvantages of the rotorcraft.

“The advantage of drones is that they are generally much larger than rotorcraft and can carry larger batteries or use gasoline engines as power sources.

Both cruise time and payload are much longer than those of rotorcraft.

There are also relatively few height restrictions, and drones with relatively good performance can even be higher than fighter jets! "

Having said this, Zhang Xingyang paused, thought for a second and then said:

"In fact, we have a similar cooperation project with Shancheng now."

“Among the wireless power transmission projects we have invested in the mountain city, there is a development plan for high-altitude solar power drones.”

The wireless power transmission plan is not a plan that needs to be kept secret.

So there is nothing wrong with telling them.

"The high-altitude solar drone will have a huge solar panel that is constantly generating solar power to maintain its own power, and can even transport excess energy back to the ground."

"If many of the devices among them are replaced with detection equipment or communication relay equipment."

"It can all play different roles on the battlefield."

If we talk about what Zhang Xingyang just said about the rotorcraft, many people have heard similar statements before.

Such high-altitude solar-powered drones were beyond what they had seen before.

"Has this technology been completed?" An impatient officer couldn't help but ask directly.

"The development of high-altitude solar-powered drones has been completed." Zhang Xingyang glanced at the other party and said:

"However, because wireless power transmission technology has not yet been perfected, high-altitude solar power transmission is still under development."

At this time, almost all the officers present had their eyes widened.

Unexpectedly, they have already researched something that everyone thinks is science fiction.

"So, can a large group of drones like the one you just demonstrated be used on a real battlefield?"

The old chief was a little shocked at first, but then he became relieved.

I have known Zhang Xingyang for so long, and I have seen technological miracles more than once or twice, so I am used to it.

So he asked a more realistic question.

"Of course it can, whether it is used directly as a suicide drone or an explosives mounting platform."

Zhang Xingyang said directly:

"Suicide drones, like most of the drones in our drone group, directly hit the target and rely on internal collision fuses and explosives to attack the target."

"This kind of drone is relatively cheap in comparison."

Zhang Xingyang thought about the examples in later wars and said:

"The main structural part can even be made of wood or cardboard to reduce costs as much as possible."

"This kind of drone can actually be released by large bombers, and the effect will be much better."

"After all, if you want it to take off from the ground, you need a special ejection rack. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to rely on its own speed to fly."

"Our H-6, after some modifications, can serve as such an aircraft carrier."

"Of course, it would be better if there was a larger air transport platform!"

The old chief took a few minutes to digest the information, then asked, "What about drones like the last one?"

"That's another use of fixed-wing drones I'm talking about, serving as a weapons mounting platform."

"Actually, we have a precedent before this." Zhang Xingyang said slowly.

"The Air Force has tried to modify several J-6s to serve as missile mounting platforms."

"In the previous exercises, we achieved amazing results!"

"Of course, this kind of drone is much more expensive than a suicide drone, so we must pay attention to reuse."

"Instead of swarming directly towards the enemy's position like suicide drones!"
