Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

There are some major events in the automotive industry every year, but Cao Yang's current work focus is no longer on Nanshan Automotive Group.

So after communicating with Zeng Tingting, he continued to work at Venusstar Technology.

There are many important projects being promoted there, and many of them require Cao Yang's personal participation to achieve relatively large breakthroughs.

However, there is an exception.

That is the missile launcher, which is developed by Nanshan Automotive Group and Venusstar Technology.

In order to cooperate with the development of the anti-missile system, the design plan of this car was directly decided by Cao Yang.

This kind of special vehicle does not have such cumbersome certification processes. As long as it can be driven normally after production, it is considered a successful development.

Of course, Nanshan Automotive Group can produce a prototype in such a short time because it has a very deep foundation in all aspects.

For example, for the engine, just take out the high-power diesel engine developed by Nanshan Engine.

In terms of gearbox, Nanshan gearbox also has mature products that can be used.

As for the transmission system, Nanshan Auto Parts also has rich development experience.

As long as there are parts drawings, we can help you make a prototype in a few months.

Now that the project has been going on for a year, it is not an exaggeration to produce a prototype.

"Mr. Cao, the prototype of our air defense missile launcher has been produced, and the modification of the active phased array radar has been completed."

"A version of the missile has also been developed based on various previous technologies."

"Now we have the conditions for test firing."

Venustech's anti-missile system, whether it is radar or missile, requires special vehicles to transport.

And missile testing is definitely not suitable for Guangzhou.

At that time, it will need to be transported all the way from Guangzhou to the northwest, which is just right to verify the comprehensive performance of the vehicle.

"Since the conditions are ripe, let's communicate with the relevant departments and carry out various tests as soon as possible."

"If there are any problems, it's better to improve them as soon as possible later."

The air defense missile system is also a relatively important product of Venustech.

This product, which is directly targeted at the future S500 air defense missile system of Polar Bear, is definitely very lethal in this era.

Cao Yang is even ready to contact the relevant departments directly after the test firing is smooth and participate in some exercise tasks.

Even if the performance parameters of a product on paper are very good, it is obviously not enough if it has never participated in actual combat.

Cao Yang naturally hopes that the products of Venusstar Technology can have more opportunities for actual combat verification.

But such opportunities are not always available, so the opportunities for various exercises are very precious.

Every missile launch has a cost.

Although Venusstar Technology is already building a special missile automation production line, it can increase missile production capacity on a large scale at that time.

But the price of each missile is still not cheap.

In particular, this generation of anti-missile systems has relatively high requirements for the performance parameters of various aspects of missiles, and the cost is naturally not low.

Of course, this is only compared with China's own production costs. If compared with the price of missiles produced by the military giants in the United States, it is very cheap.

"If you go from Guangzhou to the Northwest for testing, if you want to keep it confidential, then there is no way to carry out some of the test projects."

"But if it is not confidential, then some situations will definitely be known by the United States and other countries."

Rao Yongxiang expressed his concerns.

Although the confidentiality requirements of Venusstar Technology and Nanshan Automobile Group are not as exaggerated as those of Aerospace Technology.

But this is obviously a military product, so the confidentiality level is naturally higher.

However, Cao Yang thinks this is a good opportunity to promote Venusstar Technology's anti-missile system and even missile technology, so there is no need to keep it secret.

Anyway, even if you see it, you don't know how the performance of this system is.

However, the appearance of two missile launchers with the Xingchen Automobile logo on the highway can definitely bring a huge impact to everyone.

At that time, it may even enhance the reputation of Xingchen Automobile.

After all, missile launchers are something that anyone would think is a special existence.

Xingchen Automobile's products can meet the requirements of this kind of military products, which also shows the excellence of other products from the side.

"If you know it, you will know it. Anyway, some of the missiles we are developing are developed simultaneously with the foreign trade version. If we don't let everyone know, there is no way to sell them at a good price."

"This air defense missile system is an important product in the arms trade."

After Cao Yang said this, Rao Yongxiang didn't bother.

The boss has his own considerations, and he has already reminded us, so just do it.

"This time, our anti-missile system test is just to transfer missile vehicles and launch missiles. Do we need to arrange a few aircraft to be used as target aircraft directly?"

Zhao Siyu also confirmed it on the side.

The anti-missile system emphasizes its own hit rate. If there is no way to intercept the opponent's missiles and aircraft in time, it will not be of much significance.

So Zhao Siyu is inclined to arrange some target aircraft.

However, this kind of test for the first time is definitely very different from the traditional test method.

So Zhao Siyu felt that he needed to discuss it with Cao Yang.

"Find a few double-tailed scorpion drones to serve as target drones to complete the first phase of the test mission."

"If everything goes well, let the relevant departments cooperate to launch a few missiles, and we will pay for the cost."

"At that time, these missiles will go directly to our test area to see what the actual test results are."

When Cao Yang said this, Zhao Siyu was immediately shocked.

The first test was so fierce, and the aerospace technology side would never dare to be so radical.

However, if you want to greatly shorten the development time, some test plans must be more radical.

So he did not say anything against it.

Soon, a convoy consisting of more than ten radar vehicles, missile vehicles and escort vehicles set off from Yangcheng late at night and headed towards the northwest.

Although it was night when they set off, many people must have seen that kind of scene.

Now anyone's smartphone has a high pixel, and you can take pictures at any time and upload them to the Internet.

So early the next morning, there were a lot of related news on the Internet.

And Venustech did not hide it, and directly announced to the public that the air defense missile system it developed would be formally tested.

"Director Yang, when did Nanshan Automobile Group start developing missile launchers?"

Different people must focus on different things.

As the general manager of Xifeng Automobile, Li Shaobo is not particularly interested in Venustech's anti-missile system. He cares about the missile launchers used in the anti-missile system.

This has always been Xifeng Automobile's flagship product.

Except for Shaanxi Automobile, there are basically no other car companies in China that compete with them for this market.

But now the missile launchers that suddenly appeared in Nanshan Automobile Group made him feel the crisis.

The people in the relevant departments must not be stupid, and they will definitely compare the products of the two companies together at that time.

Compared with ordinary car companies, Li Shaobo is naturally very confident.

But compared with Nanshan Automobile Group, he felt a little weak in his heart.

Even if the other party is producing a similar model for the first time, he still dare not underestimate it.

"According to our previous investigation, although Nanshan Automobile Group has established a commercial vehicle company with Yangcheng Automobile Group and has produced some heavy trucks."

"But those heavy trucks are completely different from missile launchers."

"The missile launchers that suddenly appeared now are probably products that were hastily developed in the past two years."

As the director of the Xifeng Automobile Group Research Institute, Yang Qingshan usually spends a lot of time and energy on military products.

He is quite clear about the situation of Chinese military vehicles, especially special vehicles.

Missile launchers are considered to be the most commonly used military special vehicles, and the unit price is also relatively high.

Especially for transporting intercontinental ballistic missiles, the value of one vehicle is equivalent to hundreds of ordinary cars.

"Nanshan Automobile Group's missile launcher, you should find out the relevant performance as soon as possible to see if it will pose a threat to our similar products."

Li Shaobo felt a little uneasy.

Although it is impossible for their group to have no orders at all, the new missile launcher business in the future may be snatched away by Nanshan Automobile Group.

That was a situation he didn't want to see.

"From the current situation on the Internet, the missile launcher of Nanshan Automobile Group was moving at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour on the highway."

"This alone is very worthy of our vigilance."

"Generally speaking, the speed of most missile launchers is only 70 to 80 kilometers per hour, and 100 kilometers per hour is basically the maximum speed."

"But if the opponent keeps moving at this speed, it is obvious that the maximum speed can not only reach this level, but it is very likely to exceed 120 kilometers per hour."

"In this way, the opponent has a clear advantage in speed alone."

Yang Qingshan told some unfavorable news he had heard.

Otherwise, Li Shaobo would have too high expectations at that time, and he would be under great pressure.

Although it is not his responsibility to obtain orders, if he loses orders, he, the head of R\u0026D, will definitely be scolded.

Because everyone will think that the performance of the developed product is not good, so the order was lost.

"Missile launchers are not used on highways most of the time. They need to consider how to move quickly in places without roads."

"The performance of Nanshan Automobile Group's missile vehicles on highways is actually not of much reference significance."

Li Shaobo found a reason to comfort himself.

But Yang Qingshan's words immediately shattered his dream.

"Mr. Li, from the current situation, the other party uses a 12X12 chassis, which means that their off-road performance should not be bad."

"In addition, Nanshan Automobile Group has a deep accumulation of technology in hard-core off-road vehicles, and the final missile launcher may not be worse than ours."

Many of what Yang Qingshan said were already being commented on by netizens on the Internet.

Even if he wanted to ignore it, it would be meaningless.

"The relevant departments also have contact representatives in our military product factory. You can go and communicate with them to see if you can get some information."

Guessing back and forth, it ruined his mood.

Li Shaobo thought it would be better to let Yang Qingshan find out the situation clearly before making any comments.

…

"Mr. Cao, your speed is too exaggerated. You started testing the anti-missile system so quickly."

The news on the Internet was so lively that Qian Junfeng naturally couldn't have missed it.

Qian Junfeng knew that Venusstar Technology was working on the anti-missile system.

Even some of the information about the S-300 air defense missiles of the polar bear was given to Venusstar Technology through them.

But the other party came up with a plan in such a short time, which was still very scary.

"We have advanced radar technology, various rocket and missile technology accumulation, and we are also the largest automobile company in China."

"It can be said that we have prototype products to develop for the radar, missile and launch vehicle needed for the anti-missile system."

"Everything does not need to start from scratch, so the speed is naturally fast."

Cao Yang explained casually. .

This reason is reasonable, but it is not unreasonable.

After all, it has only been more than a year, and no company is so fast.

However, facts speak louder than words. The products of Venustech are about to be officially tested. You have to believe it even if you don't believe it.

What else do you want to do?

"It seems that the relevant departments have really found the right people to entrust you with the development of the new generation of air defense missile system."

"The higher-ups were considering whether to continue to import the S-400 air defense missile system from Polar Bear, but now it seems that it may not be necessary."

The design goal of Venustech's air defense missile system is higher than that of Polar Bear's S-400.

And it needs to consider compatibility with the S-300 system. Qian Junfeng knows a lot of information.

Under such high requirements, if Venustech really makes the product, then China really doesn't need to import air defense missiles in the future.

Even Venustech's anti-missile system is already the most advanced product in the world.

Even several products in service in the United States can't compare.

The meaning of that is really different.

"Although I'm not sure about the effect of the test, I don't think it will be too bad."

"Even if some problems are found that need to be modified, they can be modified within this year."

"And our various operations are simplified on the basis of S300, and the personnel of relevant departments will be able to master it soon."

"At the latest next year, it will definitely be equipped on a large scale in relevant departments."

There is no need to be modest when you shouldn't be modest.

Cao Yang is still very confident in this anti-missile system developed to benchmark S500.

The performance of Polar Bear's S500 itself is very advanced, and it is considered a flagship product of its military industry.

Venustech has also upgraded the radar and missile materials and electronic components, and the performance is even more advanced.

To be frank, the polar bears may not be able to come up with the same type of products even after another ten years.

In this case, if China does not equip it as soon as possible and form combat effectiveness, it would be a pity.

"Mr. Cao, it seems that you are very confident in this product, so I will wait and see!"

Just when Qian Junfeng and Cao Yang were communicating, the anti-missile system test team of Venusstar Technology had arrived at a desolate Gobi Desert in the northwest.

In order to complete the test to the greatest extent, the team did not take any rest after arriving at the location and started the test directly.

As for the reporting of related tests, it was naturally completed when the team set off.

In the flight control hall of Venusstar Technology, there are also special screens to see the pictures of the test site at any time.

In space, there are even several satellites that are specifically staring at the test area to observe the performance of the anti-missile system.

Cao Yang still attaches great importance to this test.

He also knows that not only domestic but also foreign forces must be staring at this test.

So he directly arranged twelve double-tailed scorpion drones to participate in the test.

This type of drone product is neither big nor small, but the production cost is relatively low.

After all, the production cost of a product that sells for only a few million yuan must be even lower.

Because it is used for testing, some unnecessary avionics systems and other things can be installed, which can further reduce the cost of testing.

Even so, this test is very large.

In addition to the several missiles launched by the relevant departments and the missiles launched by the anti-missile system itself, it can be said that the cost of this launch is definitely in the hundreds of millions of yuan.

Although it was not directly broadcast live on the Internet, the popularity on the Internet was very high.

At the designated time, the double-tailed scorpion drone, which served as a target drone, immediately took off from the ground.

The anti-missile system also quickly monitored the relevant radar signals, and the testers began to act.

The radar vehicle continuously gave various signal information, and the technicians on the missile launcher combined this information input and began to prepare for the missile launch.

Following the command of the on-site commander, the missile launcher that stood up fired twelve anti-aircraft missiles in a row.

Normally, anti-aircraft missiles usually use two missiles to hit one target, which can improve the interception efficiency.

However, this time was the first test of the anti-missile system of Venusstar Technology. In order to obtain more sufficient test data, the first batch adopted a one-to-one test plan.

Later, further consideration will be given to missile launches in an electromagnetic interference environment.

"The flying speed of the twin-tailed scorpion drone is not very high, and the accuracy of interception should be 100%."

"However, if we face ultra-high-speed missiles, whether we can achieve a 100% interception rate needs further verification."

"Of course, if we use the dual-missile interception method, then facing most missiles, the interception rate can reach 99%."

As a rocket expert, Zhao Siyu is also a missile expert.

He personally participated in the development of this product from beginning to end, so he knew all the parameters.

In his opinion, this anti-missile system is absolutely the most advanced in the world. It uses a large number of advanced technologies of Nanshan enterprises, which other competitors cannot match.

"The relevant departments have a relatively high positioning for our air defense system. At that time, we must not only be able to attack drones and fighter jets, but also intercept hypersonic missiles and ballistic missiles, and even have the ability to counter low-orbit satellites."

"These performances must be tested one by one before they can be officially put into use."

Just as Cao Yang and Zhao Siyu were communicating, the screen in the control hall showed that twelve missiles were moving quickly towards the twin-tailed scorpion drone.

Feeling the threat of the missile, the twin-tailed scorpion drone also began to make some maneuvers.

Even the decoy bombs they carried were ready to be released.

However, these actions did not have a real effect.

In the end, on the screen, you can intuitively see balls of fire appearing in front of everyone.

Almost in the same time period, all twelve twin-tailed scorpion drones were destroyed.

"Boss Cao, the first phase of the test has 100% achieved the expected strike effect."

Although he thought there was no problem with the test before, Zhao Siyu was still a little worried before the final result came out.

Now that he saw that all the air defense missiles hit the target, he was relieved.

"Boss Zhao, according to the previous plan, after the first phase of the test is completed, the second phase of the test will be launched immediately."

Pan Jun reminded him from the side.

He was worried that the test team would be too happy and careless and fail to intercept the second batch of missiles.

This time, it was not the twin-tailed scorpion drone, but the missiles installed in the relevant departments.

Although it was not the most advanced, it was not the garbage in the warehouse.

And these missiles were fired at a few kilometers away from the test site. If they were not intercepted, the testers would be able to feel the explosion of the nearby missiles directly on the spot.

This scene is definitely very different.

"Our anti-missile system has a high degree of automation. Not only does it reduce the number of operators by half compared to the S300 air defense system, but many early warning and pre-processing projects will also be completed automatically by the system."

"Even if the second phase of the test starts simultaneously, there is no need to worry."

Zhao Siyu is now more confident.

As long as it goes in the direction of expectations at the beginning, he thinks the possibility of going astray later is very low.

After all, many simulations have been carried out beforehand, and it is impossible for such a big accident to occur suddenly.

Sure enough, just as he said this, the screen in the flight control hall had displayed a warning message that the anti-missile system had detected a missile attack.

The tester immediately continued to carry out various responses according to the predetermined plan.

Although the speed of the missile is much faster than that of the drone, for the operator, there is no change in what needs to be operated.

So soon, the anti-missile system once again launched three missiles towards the target missile.

Two missiles fly towards each other, and the relative speed is very fast.

In less than a minute, in a certain airspace, three fireworks bloomed beautifully.

The second phase of the test once again achieved perfect success!
