Chapter 1370 Secretly visit Chen Cang


    On the gravel beach on the southern foot of Daqing Mountain in central Mongolia, eleven five-axis heavy transport vehicles camouflaged in camouflage are galloping in the sand and dust.


    In the command car in the center of the convoy, Liang Yangang put his forehead on the bulletproof glass and looked at the smoke dragon rising from the rear end of the convoy through the rearview mirror.


    It was a specially renovated trace processing vehicle, with a water tank and a high-power sweeping equipment installed at the rear, which can cover up the traces of heavy vehicles dragged in the desert to a certain extent.


    "The meteorological department just sent an early warning."


    Ji Yunpeng, the chief of staff who was in charge of contacting the work cabin behind, turned his head, and the blue light on the screen illuminated his angular jaw:


    "According to the current speed of the fleet, it will enter the strong sandstorm area in about half an hour, which may affect the positioning navigation signal. Do we need to adjust the route or…"


    Liang Yangang did not answer directly, but looked at Xing Muchun on the other side of the car with a consultation look.


    Although he is a brigade commander, due to the special nature of this mission, the final command of the entire team is in the hands of the other party.


    The latter glanced at the latest in-car command system next to it, which was showing a countdown number that was accurate to seconds:


    There are 47 minutes and 23 seconds left before the next optical reconnaissance satellite is overtopped.


    "No, it''s the opposite."


    Xing Muchun made a quick decision:


    "We drive in so that even before the sun sets, we don''t have to consider the threat of satellites."


    This is the third day after the entire convoy set off from the Dingxin Base, and there are less than 10 hours left before the optimal launch window given by the superiors.


    Thanks to the camouflage network of subwavelength metal resonant units covered by the roof, their travel plans can be relatively radical without having to stop frequently to avoid infrared or radar reconnaissance satellites.


    But during the sunny day, and even during some moonlit nights, the most traditional visible light reconnaissance is still a big problem, causing them to walk and stop frequently.


    Such a sandstorm is more of an unexpected surprise than an accident.


    After saying that, he turned to Liang Yangang and asked in a half-joking and half-exciting tone:


    "Brig Commander Liang, even if the navigation signal is weakened, your people should be able to judge the correct route, right?"


    As a commander, Liang Yangang naturally could not accept such doubts:


    "What a joke... In our missile force, this is a basic skill, let alone me..."


    He originally wanted to say that, not to mention that he has served Dongfeng 3 people like this for half his life, the old model of command system is not as fancy as it is today, almost entirely relying on the commander''s brain and eyes.


    But when I spoke, I felt too sad and sad, so I changed my words to:


    "What''s more, I''m in the top two every year in the base evaluation. Besides, this launch site is not the first time I''ve been here. The routes were similar when I tested Dongfeng 16 in the previous few times, but this time it''s a little further..."


    Then, speak again before the other party:


    "But Mr. Xing, will the coating on the surface of the ''Xuanniao'' be affected?"


    As a tactical missile, Dongfeng 16 adopts a relatively simple thermal launch method, so there is no launch cylinder like Dongfeng 21 or Dongfeng 31. There is only a polymer protective cover that can be opened and closed as a whole, which is used to protect external objects from scratches or minor collisions. , it does not have strict airtightness when designing.


    "What a joke... Even if you don''t believe me, you have to believe Academician Chang, right?"


    Xing Muchun''s reaction was exactly the same as Liang Yangang half a minute ago:


    "The new coating can withstand high temperatures of thousands of degrees, and from the beginning of the design, it has taken into account the relatively harsh working environment of tactical missiles. Not to mention wind and sand, even if it is raining and burning, there will be no big problems..."


    The latter was originally just to change the topic, so he didn''t worry too much, but instead asked another question that I was really interested in:


    "Speaking of this, since we set out this time, the frequency of satellites over-topped by Americans has suddenly decreased... Has the superior taken any new measures?"


    When they tested Dongfeng 16, they needed to perform hidden operations every about an hour during the day.


    But this time, the frequency of receiving satellite over-top warnings was almost reduced to one-quarter of the original one.


    "Well... there is another unit in the south that is covering us, so the Americans have transferred most of the space-based reconnaissance resources."


    Xing Muchun''s answer was a bit ambiguous and did not point out the most critical part:


    "At present, only a few satellites operating in solar synchronous orbits will over-top periodically, and the gaze direction is not on our side. If it is not for foolproof, the hidden frequency in the previous two days can be even lower."


    Liang Yangang showed a somewhat suspicious look. After all, it was hard to imagine that something would attract more attention than a possible hypersonic weapon test shot.


    However, he also knew that as a brigade commander, he did have many details that he had no way to know...


    …


    The next morning, 0130 o''clock.


    The convoy left the sandstorm area in the dark and quickly drove into the predetermined hidden launch position.


    Since Xuanniao''s range is almost twice as far away than Dongfeng 16, this site has never been opened in the past, and it is considered an inconspicuous surveillance blind spot.


    After the command car stopped, Liang Yangang quickly calibrated six sets of position information on the electronic map, and then turned on the switch of the inter-car communicator:


    "Cars No. 03 to 08 are about to be dispersed, go to the coordinates assigned by the command system, prepare to start the electromagnetic prism system, launch vehicle No. 02 enters the position, waiting for the next command, car No. 09 and 10 are on standby on site..."


    As his voice was transmitted to the ears of the crew members through the radio, a team of hundreds of people quickly began to be busy as they did during countless previous training sessions.


    Liang Yangang then jumped out of the command car and stepped **** the yellow earth ground under his feet:


    In the early years, even tactical missiles with maneuverability had to be launched on preset positions specially calibrated and hardened by the base.


    The Dongfeng 16 launch vehicle comes with its own balanced positioning capability and verification system, which is the first model that can completely get rid of position dependence.


    Therefore, although this place is still called the launch position, it is actually just a relatively flat and hard ordinary ground.


    "Mr. Xing, do you need to contact Academician Chang?"


    Liang Yangang came to Xing Muchun who was checking data in front of the computer. The dry and cool air made his nose feel itchy and he couldn''t help but sneeze. "unnecessary."


    The latter''s eyes didn''t even leave the keyboard:


    "The preparation process keeps satellite communication silent. After launch, a special bomb-based communication system will send the sensor data back to Dingxin."


    Liang Yangang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn''t say anything.


    During previous training, Xing Muchun mentioned how to use plasma flow to weaken the black barrier effect and allow the Xuanniao to maintain radar guidance and satellite communication at a speed of Mach 10.


    But he really didn''t understand.


    Just as the two were talking, on the horizon in the distance, several giants shaped like radar vehicles were slowly unfolding the folding bracket.


    Because the mobile system lacks a reflection network, the effect is slightly weaker than the fixed version on the Mass Effect shooting range.


    But as the last line of defense to ensure that everything is foolproof, it is enough.


    "Report, antenna 1 has been deployed."


    “The No. 2 antenna has been unfolded!”


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


    “…”


    Six different sounds came one after another, and Liang Yangang seemed to have heard the rushing sound of the strong wind passing through the umbrella antenna of the electromagnetic prism system.


    "Start the electromagnetic prism system!"


    He took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice to the radio communicator.


    The oscillation and jumps of electrons are silently woven an invisible large net above the launching position, isolating possible SAR radar signals.


    "Enter the launch preparation procedure!"


    The thick protective net slowly faded from the top of the No. 02 launch vehicle, and the bullet-shaped protective cover then bounced to the side, exposing the black ceramic matrix composite skin unique to the "Xuanniao".


    If you look closely, you can find that the leading edge surface of the wave-like configuration is not completely flat. It is a honeycomb-like heat dissipation structure used to resist the accumulation of thermal stress. It can automatically adjust the appearance curvature according to the pneumatic heating level within a certain range. , avoid problems like the X51A due to excessive rigid deformation.


    "The laser gyroscope is powered on!"


    "The missile is upright!"


    The preparation process for solid fuel tactical missiles is very simple, and the first test does not require them to make complex ballistic planning, so everything is done between a few breaths.


    Under the condensed moonlight, the twisted series-linked wave body warhead gradually lifted from the pit on the back of the launcher, ready to go like a spiritual snake that was spitting out his faith.


    A few minutes later, Xing Muchun finally raised his head next to the launch vehicle and pointed to the screen showing a green dot:


    "Everything is normal!"


    Liang Yangang raised his head and took a last look at the "black bird" that had been with him for several months.


    Soon, it will truly fly to its own sky.


    "All unrelated personnel, evacuate to a safe distance!"


    When the missile entered the final stage before launch, the world suddenly fell into strange silence.


    The hydraulic legs of the WS2600 chassis are deeply embedded under the loess, and Liang Yangang can clearly hear his heartbeat and countdown electronic sound resonance:


    “5, 4, 3”


    When the countdown to zero, as high-temperature gas surged out of the nozzle, the roar rang out in everyone''s ears at the scene.


    The solid rocket engine almost roasted sand and soil within a radius of several meters into glass, pushing the huge bullet body slowly upwards in hundreds of eyes, and the dazzling tail flames drew a beautiful arc, leaving behind in the air. A faint white smoke.


    It''s like a rope that kicks off the prelude to the new era.


    Liang Yan had just taken off his military cap and let the cold wind in the Gobi pass by his slightly white temples:


    "I''m afraid... Americans are going to suffer from insomnia."


    In his opinion, even if we don’t know what the Huaxia side launched, the hit traces on the shooting range can never be hidden.


    Xing Muchun showed an unanimous expression:


    "They will suffer from insomnia a lot in the future, so it''s better to adapt in advance now..."
