A big country of aerospace with black technology

"It seems that their hypersonic missiles will be delayed for at least ten years."

Qiao Yang took a newspaper and walked into Zhang Xingyang's office very happily and said.

Although it is already March, the temperature in the base located on the northern plateau often reaches below zero.

Therefore, the heating in the base has not been cut off, keeping the temperature in Zhang Xingyang's office at around 26 degrees.

Qiao Yang handed the newspaper to Zhang Xingyang, then took off his coat and hung it on the shelf behind the door.

Then he said very excitedly: "They have failed this time. They just spent five or six years on the shell material. It is impossible to solve it."

The casing of a hypersonic missile has high performance requirements because it has to withstand extreme high-heat environments.

The only one in the world that can clearly meet the requirements and enter the practical stage is Longguo.

What is developed in other countries can only be produced in small batches in laboratories and cannot be used in mass production.

It's just that we can't even get the materials that can meet the usage requirements.

“Everyone has the responsibility to report and expose academic fraud.”

Zhang Xingyang said after reading the fabricated reports in the newspaper.

The news in the report that Puris is a foreign spy can be seen immediately by a discerning eye to be false.

It can only deceive people who have no brains.

After all, if you think about it for a moment, you will know that if Price is really a spy, there is no need for him to commit academic fraud.

Directly delaying time is more effective than this.

It can further delay the development of their hypersonic missiles.

"Recently, people keep saying that we are fifty years behind Eagle Sauce in all aspects."

Qiao Yang said rather disdainfully:

"But let me see, at least in the field of hypersonic ballistic missiles, we are at least twenty years ahead of them!"

The saying that we are fifty years behind is actually quite old.

At the beginning it was barely true.

After all, when the People's Republic of China was first founded, the country was indeed almost impoverished.

But after entering the new century, those who still hold such thoughts are either stupid or bad.

In some areas, China is actually already leading the way.

In some areas, although there is still a gap, it is not as big as it was in fifty years.

In the field of hypersonic missiles that Qiao Yang is most familiar with.

The country is indeed twenty years ahead of them!

After several years of development, several different types of hypersonic missile models have been completed.

Including, ground attack type, anti-ship attack type, etc.

In terms of launch mode, there are missile models, silo types, and ship-based types.

It can be said that in terms of land, sea and air, except for the air force, which has not yet completed the development of air-launched models because of the difficulty, everything else is available.

“Twenty years may not be realistic, but they want to come up with a mature hypersonic missile solution.

Judging from the current situation, it will take at least more than ten years. "

Zhang Xingyang's opinion is still slightly more promising.

"Their scientific research strength should not be underestimated. If they really carry out research and development at all costs, they may even be able to develop it within ten years."

What Zhang Xingyang did not say was that with Yingjiang's current situation, it would be difficult to make up his mind to invest in hypersonic missiles that have never seen a return.

After all, they have not yet entered a state of war and cannot tolerate unlimited investment in a project that has never yielded results.

Wouldn't it be better to invest this money in Wall Street and enjoy financial appreciation?

Mao Xiong has been dead for more than ten years. Although the speed of the Dragon Kingdom's rise surprised them, it has not reached the intolerable level twenty years later.

"Ten years from now, we don't know how far our hypersonic missiles have developed!"

Although Qiao Yang spoke in a very calm tone, anyone could hear the deep contempt and disdain in it:

"They can't catch up with us now. One step is slow and one step is slow. They can't catch up with us again!"

If the competition is from a country that is in the rising stage, it may still be able to surpass it at an ultra-fast pace of development.

But Yingjiang, who is obviously on the decline, cannot even surpass himself at his current peak.

It will be even more impossible in the future.

Take the most important indicator of hypersonic missiles, speed, as an example.

The first-generation hypersonic ballistic missile developed by Qiao Yang and the others has an average speed of around Mach 7.

Judging from the information disclosed by Yingjiang, their air-launched hypersonic missile project is even slower.

The speed can only reach about Mach 6.

From a speed perspective alone, their missiles have lagged far behind those at home.

The average speed of the second-generation hypersonic missile Qiao Yang is currently researching will reach Mach 12!

"How is the performance of the new hypersonic dynamic thermal model?"

After chatting for a while, Zhang Xingyang asked about the recent business.

When the speed of the missile reaches above Mach 15, the aerodynamic problems caused by thermal imbalance must be more considered than the airflow disturbance at lower speeds.

The base has been busy solving this problem recently.

“The performance of the latest model is still somewhat unsatisfactory.”

Qiao Yang clasped his hands together and rested his chin on them.

"In a supercomputer simulation environment of 15 times the speed of sound, instability will still occur."

In the base, there is a supercomputer that is considered advanced even in the world.

It can be said that this calculator is comparable to the analog computer that calculates nuclear explosions.

Because of the many calculation problems involved in missiles, this supercomputer works almost day and night.

The ideas that the researchers at the base have worked hard on day and night are first run through the code.

However, in recent times, everyone’s simulation results have not been ideal.

Although the speed is only slightly more than doubled compared to before, the difficulty has increased by an entire order of magnitude!

If the previous difficulty was 10, the current difficulty is at least 100, and occasionally it can even reach 1000!

"Is there a problem with the model, or is it a problem with insufficient supercomputer computing power?"

Zhang Xingyang did not pursue the problem of unfavorable simulations. After all, this matter was too common, but asked what the key point of the problem was.

"The computing power of the supercomputer is not enough." Qiao Yang said with some embarrassment.

"You also know that at hypersonic speeds, the missile's time analysis must be accurate to every microsecond!"

"For supercomputers, the amount of calculations required in an instant is too great."

“Although our supercomputer can perform 10 trillion calculations per second, it’s still not enough!”

This problem has actually existed since the foundation of the base.

Computing power is almost never enough!

From tens of millions of calculations per second a few years ago to 100,000 today, it has increased by nearly a hundred times.

But it still cannot keep up with the growth in data volume.

"In the short term, there is still no good solution to this problem."

Zhang Xingyang said after being silent for a while.

Although he has countless technologies in his mind, the reality does not allow him to use too advanced technologies.

Just like it is impossible for a person to hold a handful of sand and directly refine a chip.

Solving supercomputing problems involves too many aspects.

Even if Zhang Xingyang has this intention and wants to solve this problem.

It cannot be solved within a year or two.

Even if he puts down all the work he is currently doing and concentrates on this matter, it will take at least several years.

"It's better to hide on the model and think of a solution!"

Zhang Xingyang said with some emotion:

"If it doesn't work, just try it a few more times."

"Isn't our latest wind tunnel finished?"

The performance of the latest hypersonic wind tunnel has been greatly improved compared to previous wind tunnels.

Not only the test time, it has been improved to nearly 300 milliseconds from the previous common 100 milliseconds.

The most critical thing is that the wind tunnel test speed increased to an unprecedented Mach 20!

For a flying object in the atmosphere, this speed is simply appalling!

The rapid speed of more than 6,000 meters per second can render any anti-missile system ineffective.

However, every time such a wind tunnel is started, it is burning money!

A test that takes less than half a second will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Even if it is to burn the same weight of banknotes with fire, it will take more than ten minutes.

This is more expensive than burning money. It is simply throwing money directly into the sea.

However, such wind tunnel experiments are also effective.

An experiment can at least optimize the model a little.

"Has the base's allocation come down this year?" Qiao Yang said in surprise.

The base has a special budget allocation every year to protect their living and scientific research needs.

In addition, there are special scientific research funds used for specific projects.

For example, Qiao Yang and his colleagues are currently conducting research on second-generation hypersonic missiles, and have allocated nearly 200 million in funds for technical demonstration in the early stages.

"So be it."

Zhang Xingyang thought for a moment and said.

"The money actually came from the military."

"It's the money for the first batch of Dongfeng-17 hypersonic ballistic missiles."

"So fast?!"

Qiao Yang said with some surprise:

"Isn't it just delivered to them two months ago?"

The first batch of Dongfeng-17 was launched from a missile vehicle and was the first hypersonic weapon finalized three years ago.

However, the subsequent tests took a while, and it was not until two years ago that all test subjects were completed.

Officially entered the production stage.

The production speed is not very slow. It takes almost two months to produce a missile launch vehicle.

In two years, exactly 12 missile vehicles were produced.

Two months ago, all were delivered to the Rocket Army.

Also delivered during the same period were 48 Dongfeng-17 hypersonic ballistic missiles.

It has also been at full production capacity for more than two years.

Almost two can be produced every month.

The production speed is not very fast.

It's not that the factory's monthly output can't be increased, but it's because of the speed of the Rocket Force's equipment changes.

They don't have that much money to replace so many missiles at once.

If the factory produces too much at one time, there is a risk that the capital chain will be broken.

"Because they have been looking forward to Dongfeng-17 for a long time, and this time they got what they wanted."

Zhang Xingyang smiled and said.

There are actually quite a few missiles of various colors equipped by the Rocket Force.

However, this is the first time that advanced ballistic missiles like the Dongfeng-17 have been equipped after entering the new century.

It can even be said that for the first time, the Rocket Force has the world's first-class ballistic missiles.

This also allows them to make money very quickly!

After all, we still have to rely on them for subsequent costume changes!

"So, we can blow the wind tunnel without any scruples?!" Qiao Yang said with joy.

What do people who do hypersonic aerodynamics, or aerodynamics research, want most?

Having unlimited access to the blow tunnel is definitely at the top of the list.

Because no matter how close the computer simulation is, there will always be a gap between it and the actual situation.

This gap is almost non-existent in the wind tunnel.

However, it is expensive to start up a wind tunnel. Even an ordinary wind tunnel consumes tens of thousands of electricity every time it blows.

Not to mention a Mach 20 hypersonic shock wave wind tunnel, which costs nearly one million each time!

“It’s time to save, it’s time to spend money!”

Zhang Xingyang said: "As long as you can produce results, don't be afraid of spending money!"

"It doesn't matter if we run out of money, as long as we can build a missile 15 times the speed of sound."

"Even if I go to the old leader to complain about my poverty, it doesn't matter!"

As long as Qiao Yang can produce preliminary results, Zhang Xingyang can use these to find someone.

Over the years, he has also met many big guys.

A little crying can bring you a lot of money.

Although this method seems a bit embarrassing, as long as you can make money, it doesn't matter.

In fact, Zhang Xingyang is currently responsible for a lot of funds. Whether it is the Rocket Research Institute or Longteng Group, there is no shortage of money. They have billions sitting in their bank accounts.

But that money basically cannot be touched.

Because hypersonic missiles are different from other projects.

Basically it is all funded by the Central Government and the General Armament Department, and has nothing to do with the Rocket Research Institute except for some overlap in personnel.

"Then we can rest assured!"

Qiao Yang stood up, issued a military order to Zhang Xingyang and said:

"I will definitely be able to get results within three months!"

"If I don't get anything out by then, then I'll let you do whatever you want!"

Zhang Xingyang almost watched Qiao Yang grow up.

Over the years, Qiao Yang has made rapid progress in mechanics.

Already able to solve most problems independently.

Therefore, Zhang Xingyang relatively recognized his military order, nodded and said:

"I don't need to deal with you. I believe you will be able to make impressive results within three months!"

Qiao Yang started the wind tunnel experiment with confidence.

The high-power thermal power station in the base also began to fully supply this electric tiger that reached its peak almost instantly.

Countless ancient plant fossil coals, after being fully burned, generate massive amounts of electricity.

Hypersonic shock wave wind tunnels are launched again and again.

Within three months, Qiao Yang conducted nearly a thousand experiments.

Hundreds of millions of yuan were spent just on wind tunnel experiments!

But it's all worth it. After obtaining sufficient data, a model that can adapt to a flight environment of 15 times the speed of sound was born!
