Chapter 933 Disgusting arms sales, Daystar takes on big tasks
Various news about the official arrival of astronauts in the Chang'e space station have always been very popular in China.

Although the cooperation negotiations between the European Space Agency and Daystar Technology have not been announced to the public, well-informed people can naturally know some of the situation.

Obviously, NASA Administrator Griffin is one of the well-informed people.

Faced with the rise of Daystar Technology, various actions in the United States have also accelerated significantly.

First, Boeing officially signed a purchase order for 20 CH-47s with Tianzhu, allowing Tianzhu to have rapid equipment and personnel transportation capabilities close to China.

Immediately afterwards, several military industrial companies such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin signed orders for the sale of a batch of missiles and radars with Japan and Taipei.

These actions are obviously disgusting.

China is naturally very dissatisfied with this.

"Mr. Cao, the higher-ups are very angry about this matter about the United States. We hope that we can further exert our efforts in various aspects such as anti-aircraft missiles and put greater pressure on the United States and other parties."

Qian Junfeng flew to Yangcheng in person to discuss relevant response plans with Cao Yang.

The aerospace science and technology side has relatively rich sources of information, and we know that this time the U.S. arms sales are driven by companies such as Boeing.

The reason why Boeing companies will be so active in promoting this arms sale this time is that the rise of Venus Technology has raised the entire military industry strength of China to a higher level.

This is certainly not a situation the United States wants to see.

"The air defense missile system is indeed very important. After all, our missiles must be able to hit others, and they must also be strong enough to defend against other people's missile attacks."

Cao Yang didn't expect that Qian Junfeng would discuss the anti-aircraft missile project with him.

This is definitely a core military project.

In the past, China was walking on two legs in terms of air defense missiles. On the one hand, it introduced S-300 and other air defense missiles from Polar Bear, and on the other hand, it developed related technologies on its own.

But so far, there is still a certain gap between the overall strength and the world's advanced level.

At present, in addition to the Polar Bear S series air defense missiles, the most famous are the American Patriot 3 and THAAD air defense missiles.

In this regard, it is really no problem for Aerospace Science and Technology to cooperate with itself.

China's anti-aircraft missiles actually follow the path of Polar Bear. All technical solutions are close to Polar Bear, and they are even developed directly to imitate other people's S-300.

It's just that although it's imitating, the actual result is still somewhat different from the original.

This can be considered a rather regrettable thing.

If you want to surpass the anti-aircraft missile technology of polar bears and the United States, it will really take some time to rely solely on aerospace technology.

It's different here at Daystar. Cao Yang can definitely bring out the technology of Polar Bear's S-500 anti-aircraft missile.

S-300, S-400, S-500, this is originally a series of products, each version is more advanced than the last.

Polar Bear also just completed the first test launch of the S-500 two months ago, and it is expected that it will take several years to pass the acceptance of the relevant departments.

The final mass production of equipment is expected to be in 2020 or even later.

If Daystar Technology comes out now, it can complete mass production preparations before the Polar Bear is installed.

This is not to worry about being accused of plagiarism by Daystar Technology, but to improve China's air defense capabilities as quickly as possible.

After all, this kind of missile, whether it is Polar Bear or Huaxia, is highly confidential and will not be exported to the outside world.

So if you have the ability to plagiarize, then you are really capable.

Even if Polar Bear gets some information, there is no way to prove that the other party has really copied his technology.

Anyway, your S-500 was developed on the basis of the S-400, and the Polar Bear itself only officially started to install S-2007 air defense missiles in 400.

In this case, if China can jump directly to the level of S-300 on the basis of S-500, then it will really be its own capability.

"Yes, so we urgently need to improve our level in this area."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. We have imitated the S-300 for many years, but the results are not particularly ideal."

"In this case, it is urgent to improve the level of anti-aircraft missiles as soon as possible."

Qian Junfeng is no longer afraid of embarrassment at this time.

After all, if he couldn't complete the task, he might not be able to keep the position under his butt.

What's the point of losing face at this time?

"Do you have any ideas or requirements for the newly developed air defense missile system?"

After feeling confident, Cao Yang naturally knew how to communicate with Qian Junfeng.

There is absolutely no harm in letting Aerospace Technology experience the speed and technical strength of Venus Technology.

This year the project will be established, next year it will be launched and tested, and the year after that it will be equipped.

At this speed, Cao Yang felt that no one would believe it if he proposed it now.

"I had a preliminary discussion within the group. If we want to develop a new type of anti-aircraft missile, it would be best to move closer to the Polar Bear S-400."

"In this way, all aspects of use and maintenance will be at a similar level to the existing S-300, and it can be put into use as quickly as possible."

Qian Junfeng had obviously considered this aspect, so he quickly responded.

"Specifically, there are the following requirements."

“The first is to adopt an open system architecture with a highly modular design to enable subsequent performance upgrades.”

"The second is that it is multi-functional and can be integrated with traditional air defense system technology."

"Third, it can be applied to both strategic air defense and mobile unit air defense."

"The fourth is that it can be integrated into ships, and the fifth is that it is compatible with existing S-300 missiles."

"Sixth is high maneuverability and mobile deployment capabilities."

"The seventh is to have high lethality and anti-interference capabilities."

"These are basically the ideas that Polar Bear put forward when developing the S-400 air defense missile, and I think they are completely suitable for us."

China's rocket and missile technology mainly comes from polar bears.

Especially in terms of anti-aircraft missiles, it is even more obvious.

The United States and Europe will never transfer this technology to China.

Therefore, it is obviously more appropriate for Qian Junfeng to develop China's next-generation air defense missile system based on Polar Bear's development ideas.

Of course, Qian Junfeng is not sure what Daystar Technology can do with this product.

Anyway, I can't do it myself, at least not in the short term.

If you want to get results quickly, you have to rely on Daystar Technology.

Qian Junfeng has already seen this clearly.

"Missiles, missile launch vehicles, radars, and the three most critical subsystems of air defense missile systems are all what Venus Technology is good at."

"We can take on this mission."

Cao Yang didn't play around with Qian Junfeng and directly stated that he would take on this task.

However, he also raised a question and said: "I heard that the relevant departments are negotiating with Polar Bear to purchase S-400 anti-aircraft missiles. This anti-aircraft missile should be regarded as the most advanced type of polar bear's current equipment."

"I guess the final sales price won't be cheap, right?"

In his previous life, China purchased S-400 anti-aircraft missiles from Polar Bear, but Cao Yang couldn't remember the specific information.

But he believed that Qian Junfeng must know.

Sure enough, when he heard what Cao Yang said, Qian Junfeng's expression couldn't help but change.

However, considering Cao Yang's special status in China and his close cooperation with relevant departments, it is not an exaggeration to know such information that is still confidential.

"Yes, we have been negotiating for a long time, and it is estimated that delivery will officially start next year."

"It is expected that we will purchase 6 sets of S-400 air defense missile systems, and the price of each set is expected to reach about 30 billion yuan."

Since Cao Yang already knew some relevant content, Qian Junfeng had no need to hide anything.

After all, Venus Technology is now required to develop products similar to the S-400 air defense missile system, and it must let the other party understand the relevant domestic situation.

Otherwise, it will probably be very difficult for the products developed by then to meet the seven requirements I just put forward.

"Our land area is so large. What's the use of only buying 6 sets of S-400? The price is still so expensive?"

Cao Yang couldn't help but ask a question that many people would have questions about.

30 billion yuan for an air defense missile system is really not cheap.

If you buy 6 sets, it will cost almost 200 billion yuan.

Sure enough, the arms business is more profitable. The sales prices of some of Venus Technology's products in the past seemed to be too benevolent.

"Mr. Cao, an S-400 is not as simple as a launch vehicle. Its composition and power are beyond everyone's imagination."

Although Qian Junfeng felt that Cao Yang's question seemed a bit amateurish, he explained it seriously.

“一套完整的S-400防空导弹系统包括一部36H6照射制导雷达、一部76H6低空搜索雷达、和12辆5P855导弹发射车。”

"Each launch vehicle will be equipped with 4 missiles, and a battalion is equipped with 48 missiles. If double supply bombs are added, there will be a total of 96 missiles."

"And a set of S-400 can fire up to 48 missiles at a time. The impact and interception effect on air targets is very impressive."

"Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the price of a set reaches 30 billion yuan."

When Qian Junfeng said this, Cao Yang immediately understood that he must have gone astray just now.

"And we purchased 6 sets of S400 systems not only for defense, but also for modification and upgrade based on them."

"Because so far there is still a certain gap between us and the world's top level in the field of air defense missiles."

“如果能够借助北极熊的力量必然会让我们在这方面有所突破的。”“比如现在开发的红旗-9防空导弹系统就是根据北极熊的S-300防空导弹系统升级改造来的，这次引进6套S400，原本的想法也是要在它的基础上发展红旗-10导弹系统。”

"It's just that we currently feel that there is no way to develop a Hongqi-400 missile system with the same performance as the S-10 in a short period of time, so I thought of handing this task to Venus Technology."

In order for Daystar Technology to work, it must be clear about the situation.

Otherwise, hiding it will definitely not be beneficial to the development of this project.

Qian Junfeng saw this very clearly.

"I understand. I guess the polar bears also know our purpose, so the price of each set is set very high."

"For a one-time business, it's normal for it to be higher."

Cao Yang just thought that the price of a set of 30 billion yuan, even if it contained a lot of things, was still very expensive.

Daystar Technology itself also produces missiles, cars and radars. Cao Yang still has an idea of ​​how much a system will cost.

It can be said that for a set price of 30 billion yuan, the polar bear will earn at least 20 billion yuan.

If the same product is handed over to Venus Technology in the future, the profit will be higher.

Of course, it is impossible for relevant Chinese departments to purchase anti-aircraft missiles on a large scale from Venus Technology at such a high price.

"Yes, it actually contains a certain technology transfer fee."

"It's just that there are some things that no one has fully figured out. The Polar Bears also think that we can't imitate them so quickly. Maybe they can continue to sell a few batches of S-400 to us in the future."

Qian Junfeng further added his understanding.

It can be said that both parties have their own thoughts on this purchase of S-400.

Although cooperation is cooperation, there are a lot of considerations.

It all depends on who has a higher level in the end and can advance things according to their own ideas.

To a certain extent, this is a relatively common thing, and it is a different kind of bet.

Why is it that when Polar Bear sells high-end equipment to Tianzhu, he is very confident about it, but when it sells to China, he is very entangled?
One of the important reasons is that China's imitation ability is too strong.

Sold an advanced product to Tianzhu and just kept waiting to make big money.

But selling it to China is probably a one-time deal.

After Cao Yang and Qian Junfeng agreed on the big task of undertaking the new anti-aircraft missile, they immediately held a high-level confidential meeting within the company without any delay.

Aerospace Science and Technology also shared information on some of China's current anti-aircraft missiles.

After all, much of the information on new anti-aircraft missiles needs to be backward compatible.

In fact, this is not a problem at all for Cao Yang.

Because the S-500 air defense missile he planned to develop was originally developed on the basis of the S-400.

Everything that should be compatible is compatible.

Cao Yang is even preparing to make further improvements in electronic components and high-end carbon fiber materials.

Although the polar bear's weapons are also very advanced, they are still inferior in terms of electronic equipment and high-end carbon fiber materials.

If Daystar Technology can upgrade the original Polar Bear S-500 air defense missile system, the performance of the final product will be among the best in the world.

American Patriots 3 is no match at all.

Even the Standard 6 anti-aircraft missiles and THAAD are no match.

This is of great significance to China.

At that time, whether it is placed on the southeast coast, around the Bohai Sea, or on the islands and reefs of the South China Sea, it will have extraordinary significance.

As for Daystar Technology, China has a demand for at least 100 sets of anti-aircraft missiles. Even if it does not sell a set for 30 billion yuan, but only sells a set for 10 billion yuan, it is still a business of 1000 billion yuan.

And anti-aircraft missiles are consumables.

This business is totally worth doing well.

It is not impossible to even make a low-end version in the future and use it for export to earn foreign exchange.

"Although the air defense missile system is a certain challenge for us, basically as long as we combine some of our existing technical capabilities, we can have a product that is expected to make a breakthrough."

"The key is whether the response speed and accuracy of the products we develop can meet the requirements."

"This is very critical stuff."

Cao Yang now calls everyone for a meeting, naturally to brainstorm and figure out all the problems.

Can't Cao Yang just throw out a set of drawings and arrange for the factory to start production?

"Whether the missile strike accuracy is accurate or not depends on three major factors."

When discussing professional technical issues, Zhao Siyu naturally had to stand up and say a few words.

Although he mainly studies rockets, many things about rockets and missiles are similar.

Therefore, Zhao Siyu is very happy to let Daystar Technology develop anti-aircraft missiles.

"The first is whether the geodetic coordinate system itself is accurate. Only an accurate global geodetic coordinate system can provide the missile with the most accurate displacement and angle differences."

"The second is to see whether the original position of the missile launch and the final coordinates of the target are accurate. If there are problems with the target coordinates, it will definitely be difficult to hit accurately."

"Third, it depends on whether the gyroscope installed on the missile is sophisticated. These three are indispensable."

Regarding Zhao Siyu's explanation, Cao Yang said after listening to it: "We have the Starlink satellite system, which has its own unique advantages in coordinate positioning."

"But in terms of gyroscopes, we used to produce micro-missiles, so the requirements in this area are relatively not that high."

"Making high-precision gyroscopes should be the next step that needs to be focused on."

Even if they plan to speed up the development of air defense missile systems, they still need to allow Venus Technology to have the strength to produce key parts.

Otherwise, if the parts fail to meet the requirements of the drawing design, the final effect will be greatly compromised.

"When a missile is launched, voltage must be applied to the missile first. The first purpose of applying voltage is to allow the core equipment of the missile to self-check first. This is just like a computer that needs a quick self-check when it is turned on."

"The second is to let the internal gyroscope rotate at high speed to reach a certain rated high speed. At this time, the missile will have the initial prerequisites for launch."

"The anti-aircraft missile's gyroscope rotates. At this time, the missile knows its basic orientation in the movement space. No matter how the target maneuvers to evade, the orientation in the sphere is only one angular difference from the missile itself. , the missile finally returns this angle difference to zero through its own flight and guidance. "

"If the accuracy of the gyroscope does not meet the requirements, the final impact will be quite large."

Zhao Siyu further emphasized the importance of missile gyroscopes.

What is a gyroscope?
It is a special instrument designed and manufactured using the principle of gyroscope.

Many people used tops as toys when they were young, such as tops that could be whipped with a whip and spin on the ground.

There are also small tops that can be turned with your fingers.

There is a traditional skill called diabolo, and the so-called diabolo can also be regarded as a special kind of top.

No matter which kind of gyroscope everyone is familiar with, it is far from the level of making a gyroscope.

Because the rotation speed of a toy top is only a few to ten weeks per second, while the top used as a gyroscope can spin extremely fast, hundreds or even thousands of times per second.

Moreover, in addition to the high-speed rotating gyro core, the gyroscope also has complex peripheral support and signal input and output systems.

Therefore, most gyroscopes are relatively complex and precise.

The essence of a gyroscope is an angular motion detection device that uses the momentum-moment-sensitive shell of a high-speed rotating body to rotate around one or two axes orthogonal to the rotation axis relative to the inertial space.

The specific function on missiles is a bit complicated, but it’s important to know anyway.

Many countries can even develop missile engines, but they cannot develop high-precision gyroscopes.

"I personally led a team to develop this gyroscope and mobilized some technical experts from within the group to conduct research. I will definitely produce a qualified product within this year."

Zhao Siyu kept emphasizing the importance of gyroscopes, somewhat lacking in confidence.

Cao Yang naturally understood this, so he immediately took over this task.

Once this thing is done, it should come in handy if it is used on intercontinental ballistic missiles in the future.

"There is no problem for Venus Technology to develop these two key things, missiles and radar. However, the missile launch vehicle will need help from Nanshan Automobile Group."

If you can't handle something yourself, you should bring it up as soon as possible.

Don’t wait until halfway through to say you need this help or that help.

Zhao Siyu is also very clear about this.

The missile launch vehicle is not simple.

Whether it is a launch vehicle used on ordinary anti-aircraft missiles or a launch vehicle used on intercontinental ballistic missiles, they all have their own special requirements.

In particular, some intercontinental ballistic missile launch vehicles use 16x16 or 14x12 launch vehicles.

Their length exceeds 25 meters, their dead weight exceeds 50 tons, their load capacity exceeds 80 tons, and their top speed exceeds 50 kilometers per hour.

They can maneuver at high speeds on high-grade highways, low-speed maneuvers on low-grade highways, and can travel on roadless terrain. Their off-road capabilities and load-carrying capacity are not comparable to trucks that ordinary people see.

Of course, the cost of this kind of launch vehicle is also very high, measured in tens of millions.

The key is that you may not be able to buy it if you have money.

"That's no problem. I will arrange for Xingchen Automobile to deploy a group of technical personnel to develop special vehicles such as missile launch vehicles."

In terms of automotive technology, Nanshan Automobile Group is definitely the number one in China.

In addition, when he really encounters difficulties, Cao Yang can also end it himself.

So Cao Yang is really not worried that Nanshan Automobile Group will not be able to handle it.
