Chapter 1362 Abandoning fantasy and preparing early


    "Electromagnetic prism..."


    Wang Hong asked to reminisce about this name that sounded very powerful.


    But because of the lack of literary bacteria, I really didn''t recall anything.


    It''s more like a casual...


    So I simply gave up and asked about topics related to my business:


    "You just said that it is impossible to deceive for too long... How long can it leave us a window?"


    He had seen the hit effect of hypersonic warheads a few years ago, and according to his superiors, the model tested this time was faster and more powerful, although there was no warhead installed.


    After hitting the target, it will inevitably leave a very eye-catching trace.


    If you want to fully recover, it will take as long as a week. Considering that it is inconvenient to start work during the day, it will basically take half a month to go.


    Besides, the frequent activities of large-scale construction machinery will leave many traces that cannot be completely erased.


    Even at night, infrared imaging satellites can always capture some abnormalities.


    So a more realistic way is to hide it.


    But whether to cover a layer of camouflage or build a shed directly depends on how much operating time you can have.


    "It''s not a problem for about 6-8 hours. If it''s longer, it depends on luck."


    Chang Haonan raised the telescope in his hand and looked at several staff members who were digging pits and driving piles in the distance.


    Of course, there are many kinds of mechanical equipment that can be assisted in completing this type of work, but to minimize the traces of work as much as possible, it still has to be done manually.


    After a few seconds of pause, he continued to explain:


    "After all, the intelligence agencies in the United States are not ordinary people. After being deceived for a while, they are likely to detect some abnormalities and adjust the characteristic parameters of the synthetic aperture radar... The working principle of electromagnetic prism is actually similar to the deceptive interference of ordinary radars. Therefore, it is highly dependent on the reception and analysis of active signals, and with too many parts that need to be calculated, it is difficult to keep up with the other party''s rhythm in real time."


    Wang Hong asked his head to lower his head and thought for a moment:


    "If it takes 6-8 hours, I''m afraid there is only time to simply block the hit area, and recovery is impossible no matter what."


    This sentence made Chang Haonan stunned, and then immediately realized that the other party had misunderstood his meaning:


    "There is no need to be completely restored... and there is no need to cover it. Just clean up the main features left after the hit during this period, so that the bullet marks look like they are left by an ordinary ground-based bullet. In this way, , the other party should make misjudgment on our R&D direction for a long time, or at least move between the two possibilities."


    Wang Hong was shocked:


    "So that''s the case?"


    "It is better to lose it than to block it, not to mention that there are so many actions during this period, and the scope of the incident is wide..."


    Chang Haonan replied:


    "Even if there is no problem with the core joints we are directly responsible for, the peripheral projects and personnel will leak some news. In this case, no matter how tight you hide it, it will inevitably be exposed. Instead, it will guide the other party to draw the wrong conclusion they want. It would be better.”


    Wang Hongrang first showed a thoughtful expression, but soon became puzzled:


    "But I remember... It seems that about half a year ago, the United States hyped up our hypersonic weapon threat and threatened to impose sanctions on our relevant organizations and individuals. Will anyone take this matter? What is related to the bounce traces left by the shooting range, and to infer the real situation?”


    Chang Haonan laughed in silence and immediately asked:


    "Then you see, half a year has passed, have they imposed sanctions?"


    Wang Hongrang shook his head very simply and blurted out:


    "How can I know about this? I''m not a key person..."


    At this point, it ended abruptly.


    He looked up at Chang Haonan not far away in front of him—


    Obviously, if you want to say "relevant individuals", then there is probably no one more relevant than the one in front of you.


    So I changed my words immediately:


    "I think it should be...no?"


    "That''s it."


    Chang Haonan explained: "The psychology of Americans is actually much simpler than that of Europeans. I have studied a little bit... They hyped up our hypersonic weapon threat just to make HTV2, the gliding supernatural similar to the Xuanniao principle. Just obtained research and development funds successfully.”


    "But the reason why we dare to hype this is because deep down, they don''t think we can really develop hypersonic vehicles... or at least it''s impossible before them."


    Wang Hong''s confusion on his face did not fade much, and he obviously didn''t understand the cause and effect relationship here.


    "I don''t know if you''ve heard of a joke."


    Chang Haonan simply changed his approach:


    "It was said that a reporter asked the Pentagon''s spokesperson why he had to spend so much resources to send troops to the Mesopotamian River Basin. The other party said that it was because he suspected that there were weapons of mass destruction there. The reporter asked again, why didn''t he send troops to Moscow directly? The man had to answer, because the Russians really had weapons of mass destruction…”


    Wang Hong refused to hold back after hearing this and burst into laughter.


    A happy air suddenly filled the Gobi Desert...


    …


    Of course, jokes and joy are short-lived.


    Even with the successful experience of the past double-cone verification bomb and the large amount of data provided by the JF14 ultra-high-speed wind tunnel, the superb test shot of the gliding type is still a major event that requires careful preparation and seriousness.


    No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!


    Moreover, according to the general logic of the development of military science, after having a spear, the issue of shield will naturally begin to be considered.


    In fact, as early as 2005, when Chang Haonan used the Dongfeng 3 missile to test the feasibility of hypersonic reentry of the double-cone warhead, the ground-based missile troops had confirmed that conventional long-range warning radars could only barely capture some intermittent signals. Cannot give enough early warning preparation time.


    Fire-controlled radar designed for aerodynamic targets simply cannot stably track targets in hypersonic flight states, let alone launch missiles for interception.


    Later, the verification bomb launched in Figure 160 also basically verified this conclusion.


    When monitoring the X51A''s first flight, it was also a strategy to use multi-base radar solutions to make smart moves.


    The "Xuanniao" hypersonic verification platform is faster, almost twice that of the first three. It can generate a plasma absorbing layer of a certain intensity around the flying body, and adopts extremely flexible gliding trajectory.


    Not to mention interception, it is difficult to achieve even early warning of missile attacks.


    Twenty years ago, this situation might be acceptable.


    After all, during the Cold War, the main threats of the two superpowers came from each other. As long as China has the strategic deterrence ability at the passing line level, it is enough to maintain basic security.


    But now, China has firmly sat in the position of the second largest country and is still maintaining an outrageous growth level of around double-digits.


    Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if this situation continues, it will sooner or later become the main opponent on the other side of the ocean.


    In this case, if the opponent, who is already at a disadvantage, will only be more passive if the opponent takes action first.


    I can only abandon my fantasy and prepare early.


    Therefore, building a brand new strategic warning, even a missile defense system, was put on the agenda almost while the "Xuanniao" was transferred to normal research and development.


    The first action related to this is the Maodao radar station located in the western part of GS Province—


    Of course, it is not that the ICG has found a way to deal with the threat of hypersonic weapons in just a few months.


    But before this, they need to first have a clear understanding of the abilities of both offense and defense.


    According to the plan, the Air Force will rebuild the Maodao radar station, install an L-band phased array radar using the latest technology on the base prepared for the 7010 radar, and use the hypersonic aircraft without pre-preparation. The test launch process is tracked and monitored.


    Then, based on the data of this test, consider whether to upgrade based on the existing models or develop a brand new strategic early warning radar.


    As for the Maodao radar station itself, it can continue to shine and heat as a training and tactical research facility.


    In fact, a considerable part of the reason why the first test of "Xiaoniao" was determined to be in the second quarter was that it was waiting for the radar to be completely completed...
