Chapter 571: Ballistic Missiles Hit Aircraft Carriers, National Talent Selection

Time flies, and a few days have passed in a flash.

As more and more high-tech machine tools and equipment were delivered to the Pangu Research Base one after another, Su Dingping also called Wan Long over on this day.

Nowadays, even he is busy in the entire base, but compared with experts and professors such as Sun Yongguo, he seems relatively relaxed.

In this way, he became the person Su Ding ordered around on a daily basis.

Anyway, everyone knows that once you arrive at the Pangu Research Base, you're going to work, and you're going to work day and night. It's harder and more tiring than at any other research base.

But no one complained or felt tired, instead they worked very hard.

Wan Long hurried over: "Boss Su, are you looking for me?"

"Well, there are some things I need you to help me deal with." Su Dingping said directly.

"Please give your instructions, Mr. Su."

Wanlong said very respectfully.

He felt very happy to be able to work beside Su Dingping, and was able to demonstrate his own value. His military rank also rose rapidly.

"Go contact the chief and tell him that we need to recruit a group of technical talents and train them. The number should be controlled at 300 to 400."

"I want everything from every field!"

"By the way, the transfer of these people cannot shake the foundation of the research institutes."

After saying that, Su Dingping handed the letter he had prepared in advance to Wan Long.

Although he was in urgent need of a large number of talents, he could not do anything that would undermine the foundations of various research institutes, otherwise it would cause public outrage.

What he wants to create is a talent pool, not a focus of everyone's firepower.

"Yes! I'll do it right away!"

After Wan Long took the letter, he turned around and walked out quickly.

Su Dingping was the only one left in the office, so he was naturally not idle. He turned around and appeared in the military industry illustration forging space.

Standing on the bow deck of the 850-ton destroyer, he looked around at the vertical launch pit, which had a diameter of 57 mm. This size not only exceeded the 712 mm diameter of the Eagle Tribe MK-41 vertical launch system, but also exceeded the 635 mm diameter of the Western MK- vertical launch system.

It can be said that its potential is enormous and can be further explored in depth. It must not be used only to launch the Haihongqi 901B or Eagle Strike series of anti-ship missiles to serve as the fleet's air defense ship.

On the deck, there is a large amount of information piled up, covering many subjects.

If you take a quick glance, you will find that most of the academic materials are related to ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons, as well as the latest related papers.

After reading it, he sat casually on the square cover of the vertical launch unit. When he raised his hand, the book "Lin Sen Ballistic Conjecture" appeared in his hand. After reading it for a while, he fell into deep thought.

In fact, he has read this book "Lin Sen's Ballistic Conjecture" ten times, and has already memorized its contents in his mind. He is now in the stage of digesting and applying it.

At this moment, he was thinking that after the nuclear weapons research was completed, the 1.3-ton destroyer with a displacement of tons would be upgraded so that it could carry short-range, medium-range missiles, or intercontinental ballistic missiles!
In this way, the maritime nuclear strike system will be more complete, rather than being limited to nuclear submarines!
Moreover, relying solely on the navy's current aircraft carrier fleet is bound to be unable to defeat the Eagle Tribe's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet. Moreover, they have a total of eleven such aircraft carrier fleets, which are huge in scale and quite powerful.

Su Dingping naturally could not let the navy's aircraft carrier fleet go head-on with the Eagle Tribe's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet. Even if such a situation would occur in the future, he would have to wait until the new generation of 13-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers came out.

But this will take some time for him to fully understand all the core technologies of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers!
Even if we take a step back and say that even if he has mastered all the core technologies, it will still take a long time to implement them into reality and develop them!

As a result, the Longxia Navy had a firepower gap during this period of time. If the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet attacked, the navy would suffer a great loss.

Therefore, Su Dingping is now thinking that he must find another way.

Since the Eagle Tribe is showing off its power with its aircraft carrier fleet and often comes to the waters related to the Longxia Tribe to cause trouble, once the two sides go to war, their aircraft carriers will be completely turned into scrap metal!
The 112 vertical launch units can accommodate at least a dozen missiles with long-range attack capabilities.

Developing an anti-ship supersonic ballistic missile or hypersonic missile capable of attacking aircraft carriers would be much faster and could directly attack large surface ships thousands of kilometers away, far exceeding the defense circle of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet.

It is completely possible to achieve long-range high-altitude strikes outside the defense zone, and it is a top-down attack that cannot be intercepted!

If the speed of anti-ship ballistic missiles is increased to more than Mach 10, the air defense response time of the aircraft carrier fleet will be further compressed, greatly increasing the difficulty of interception.

As long as the core ship, the aircraft carrier, can be destroyed, the navy's chances of winning will increase.

Of course, whether it is the development of ballistic missiles with anti-ship capabilities or hypersonic anti-ship missiles, the technical difficulty is very high.

At present, ballistic missiles can only hit fixed targets, and it is obviously not possible to use them for direct anti-ship attacks.

Even during the Soviet era when the military industry was extremely powerful, this measure was proposed, but in the end anti-ship ballistic missiles were not developed.

After all, this involves terminal trajectory correction and trajectory control technology!
If Lin Sen's ballistic conjecture is used, and with the assistance of some other new technologies, it may be possible to use ballistic missiles to strike slow-moving targets, such as warships.

Due to the size of this ballistic missile and the sustainability of its mission, a 10,000-ton destroyer is naturally the only choice.

Su Dingping remembered very clearly that in his previous life, the Longxia tribe was the first on Blue Star to break through this technology. It could be said that they were the only ones in the world, but it was not developed until more than ten years later.

But now there is no technical foundation at all, so you can imagine how much more difficult it is.

Although anti-ship ballistic missiles and hypersonic anti-ship missiles are both called missiles, they are in two different directions in many technical aspects, so the difficulty of research and development is extremely great.

However, from the current perspective, the probability of developing an anti-ship ballistic missile is greater. After all, there is still the scientific research god Qian Lao. If he doesn't understand something, he can ask him for advice anytime and anywhere.

Of course, at present it can only be used for large-scale drives of 10,000 tons.

As for the future, when the number of warships increases and the pressure on the navy is not as great as it is now, the 052D will be upgraded for the second time to give it more powerful long-range attack capabilities.

Su Dingping knew very well that whether developing anti-ship ballistic missiles or supersonic anti-ship missiles, the first thing to do was to discover and lock the target, which required the vigorous development of various satellite systems in the field of "sky".

After pondering for a moment, Su Dingping conducted in-depth research on Lin Sen's ballistic conjecture.

After a long time, he was disturbed by the roar of machines coming from the direction of the military factory and put the book down.

Su Dingping glanced into the distance, where was the research and development base of the Air Force. Then he lifted his legs and appeared in this area.

In the engine manufacturing workshop of the military factory, the J2 turbojet engine of the U-57 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft has officially entered the forging stage on the production line. Su Dingping entered the workshop and carefully checked it. The progress is still very smooth. It is estimated that it will not take long before the first self-developed J57 turbojet engine in the forging space will officially roll off the production line.

Once manufacturing is completed, it will be immediately sent to the wind tunnel center for comprehensive performance testing.

If the test here is successful, it will mean that the Longxia tribe has taken an extremely important step forward in the field of military aviation engines.

For Su Dingping, it was just a small step, but for the entire Longxia Air Force research and development system, it was a big step forward!

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

Looking at the orderly progress of the robot's automatic assembly, Su Dingping is still very much looking forward to it.

On the other side, inside the Navy’s Northern Base.

Xu Dongguo had already received Su Dingping's letter from Wan Long. Looking at the contents, he was quite distressed.

"It's really a hassle. Where can I get these three or four hundred people? And they are cutting-edge scientific and technological talents in various fields."

Looking at the contents of the letter, Xu Dongguo was at a loss for a moment.

"Commander, General Su wouldn't have come if he didn't have an urgent need. This should be because after the Pangu Research Base is built, there is a shortage of cutting-edge technical talents."

The staff officer standing by also read the letter and was very understanding of Su Dingping's needs.

Just one hundred thousand soldiers are simply not enough, so top technical talents need to fill the gap.

Otherwise, there will be a talent gap, which will make it impossible to carry out some projects.

"But where can I find it?"

Xu Dongguo frowned, puzzled.

It is quite troublesome to need so many cutting-edge talents without shaking the foundation of a research institute.

The Navy's original group of top military experts, such as Sun Yongguo, Lu Guangjun and others, were gathered by almost emptying the top talent teams of the two research institutes.

Last year, Cheng Yiqiang brought all the talents from the 702 base here.

Although the scientific research base still exists and Su Dingping will not abolish it, the current shortage of talent has almost become a major problem in many naval research institutes.

The Navy’s research institutes are now short of resources, so naturally they can’t spare any more people.

As for the army and the air force, a small number of them were transferred here before. If they want to transfer more top talents, I'm afraid they won't be able to gather that many, unless their foundation is shaken.

"Commander, General Su said in the letter that we cannot shake the foundation."

"But President Su also said that he is willing to train talents. I think we can start from this aspect."

After thinking for a moment, the staff officer expressed his thoughts, "We don't have any talents ourselves, but we can select talents from universities across the country."

"We have so many military academies, I believe it will be easy to recruit three or four hundred people."

These words suddenly made Xu Dongguo's eyes light up.

Yes, since we can cultivate talents, we should broaden our horizons and recruit from high-end universities across the country.

Wasn’t Su Dingping recruited from Harbin Institute of Technology before?
In addition to Harbin Institute of Technology, there are a number of top scientific research institutions such as Longke Institute of Technology, from which we can select talents.

"You are right. Then we should recruit people from domestic colleges and universities."

Xu Dongguo's mind became more and more active, and his ideas became broader.

We can hire a group of people from within the company and then recruit another group from outside, and the total will be about the same.

However, when recruiting external talents, a thorough review process must be carried out.

The level of strictness is definitely higher than that of ordinary political review. Everyone’s background must be clean and there must not be any loopholes!

After simply drafting a charter, Xu Dongguo immediately rushed to the Navy Headquarters in Beijing and reported the matter to Liu Huaming.

An internal meeting was then held, chaired by Liu Huaming himself.

As the deputy leader of Su Dingping's logistics support team, it is natural that he would fully meet the talent needs raised by Su Dingping.

Since the establishment of the integrated military-industrial system of the three armed forces, Marshal Xue convened a meeting of the top leaders of the three armed forces and personally announced a requirement to set up a logistics support team.

Marshal Xue personally served as the team leader, and the heads of the navy, army and air force were all deputy team leaders, specifically responsible for coordinating and ensuring Su Dingping's logistical needs.

They all knew very well that since Su Dingping had been appointed as the chief engineer for the three armed forces' scientific research tasks, they absolutely could not let Su Dingping worry about the logistics work.

"I think this plan is feasible. We can send a group of people from within our ranks, preferably from all three armed forces, and then recruit the rest from major universities. In this way, we can ensure that the operation of other scientific research institutes will not be affected in any way."

"I think there are certain requirements for talent. They need to be young, have ideas, have strong learning abilities, and be easy to shape! The people we send over for training are not trained for overseas countries. This must be made clear."

"The most important thing is to conduct a strict political review. The Pangu Research Base is the core of our three armed forces. The most confidential of secrets must not be leaked. We must ensure that everyone sent in has no problems!"

Xu Dongguo and several other leaders immediately held a discussion and seriously discussed the relevant conditions.

They don't want to work hard to train top talents for their strategic competitors, and once those people leave, the consequences will be quite serious.

"In that case, you should perfect the plan now and then issue it."

Liu Huaming made the decision on the spot to implement this plan.

"Yes!"

Xu Dongguo, Xiao Chongjun, and Qian Wenbing spoke in unison and immediately got busy.
