The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 117 Three Points Positioning

Zhang Zhipeng arrived at the Beijing Airport and when he got off the plane, he saw Zhao Bingkun smiling and waving to him.

"Hello, Director Zhao! I didn't expect that I would bother you to come and pick me up in person." Zhang Zhipeng smiled and shook hands with Zhao Bingkun.

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "Haha! There happens to be nothing particularly important today, so I came over."

"Comrade Zhipeng, there has been quite a lot of good news recently."

The two people got into the car and the car drove out of the airport and headed towards the city.

"Any good news? Tell me." Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile.

Zhao Bingkun said: "The delivery of J-8 fighter jets has begun, with 10 aircraft delivered at one time! It is expected that at least more will be delivered before the end of the year!"

"Hand it all over to a certain air force division in the southeast!"

"Tell me, is this a good thing!?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "It is indeed a good thing!"

"We will strive to deliver at least another hundred aircraft next year. In that case, we will be able to form a strong combat capability."

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "The J-10 is already a very mature third-generation fighter. Therefore, subsequent production will be accelerated!"

"Next year, we plan to deliver at least 200 fighters to speed up the replacement of backward fighters such as the J-!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "On the basis of the J-10, I think a series of other aircraft can be developed."

"For example, you can add an electronic warfare pod to it, so that it can become a cutting-edge electronic jammer."

Zhao Bingkun nodded and said, "We have such a plan."

"In addition, there is another great thing, haha!"

"That is, we conducted a strike exercise in the southern waters."

"We used the J-4000 to launch the Thunderbolt air-to-ship missile more than kilometers away, and successfully hit a target ship of more than tons located kilometers away. The missile penetrated the soul and directly sank the target ship. .”

"After our Thunderbolt air-to-ship missile was launched, it cruised and flew close to the sea level at a maximum height of more than 20 meters, entered the water directly more than ten kilometers away from the target ship, and continued to move towards the target ship underwater. , and finally hit the most vulnerable middle bottom position of the target ship, directly blowing it into two pieces!"

Zhang Zhipeng was also deeply involved in the development and research of this four-dimensional air-launched anti-ship missile.

"We just want the other party to understand! We have strong power to protect the security of our country!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Yeah! It's really refreshing, haha!"

"I believe that we must seize the time to develop the technology of ballistic missiles hitting aircraft carriers!"

"If this technology is mastered, then the peripherals will become more honest!"

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "It is under development and research."

"But there's still not much progress for the time being."

"The main reason is that the ballistic missile is too fast during the terminal attack stage of re-entering the atmosphere. It is a bit too difficult to keep it maneuverable and accurately pursue a moving target like an aircraft carrier."

"Yeah! Another thing is: when the ballistic missile re-enters the atmosphere, the temperature is too high. Even if you want to maintain communication with it, it may be too late to help it correct the strike coordinates."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "These difficulties can be solved."

"Well! If our satellite navigation system can be built, then we can rely on the satellite navigation system to continuously lock the opponent's aircraft carrier, and then exchange information with the ballistic missiles through the satellite communication system."

"Help the ballistic missile finally obtain the latest coordinates and launch a penetrating strike on the aircraft carrier!"

"The thickness of the aircraft carrier's deck may only be about 10 centimeters. The missile crashes from the sky at high speed and can directly break a big hole in the deck!"

"Subsequently, the missile warhead exploded violently below the deck!"

"Even if it cannot be blown up and sunk directly, the aircraft carrier whose flight deck has been destroyed has lost its role and cannot continue to participate in the battle. It is no different from being useless."

Zhang Zhipeng talks so eloquently.

Zhao Bingkun nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and said, "Comrade Zhipeng, what you said makes sense!"

"However, the construction of a satellite navigation system is not an easy task!"

"Just the construction will probably take more than ten years."

"Before it was built, it wasn't even usable."

"More than ten years of investment have no effect at all in the beginning."

"Also, the lifespan of a satellite may only be seven or eight years at most."

"This means that before we have successfully established the network, the satellites launched earlier have already begun to become useless."

"This is more than we can bear."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Who did Director Zhao hear these words from?"

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "Can't it be my own opinion?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "That's definitely impossible!"

"After all, no matter what, you can't be so professional, right?"

Zhao Bingkun nodded and said, "Qian Yisheng, director of the Satellite Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences, told me."

"I had a deep conversation with him about your proposal to build a satellite navigation system."

"Qian Yisheng told me that if we cannot successfully launch and network at least 24 navigation satellites within eight years, then we should not even think about building our own navigation system."

"Moreover, we have not yet overcome many technical difficulties in navigation satellites!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "It seems that he was also deceived by Robin."

"Robin's GPS navigation system is indeed like that. It requires a 24-cell network to be fully completed."

"However, we can definitely develop more advanced networking methods so that fewer satellites can be successfully networked in a short period of time and start to play a navigation role!"

Zhao Bingkun smiled and said, "Could it be that you have any good ideas?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "I have a good idea."

"However, if we want to implement it, I'm afraid we still need to discuss it carefully."

In the previous life, China's Beidou navigation system actually only had three satellites from the beginning.

These three satellites are set up in tilted synchronous orbit satellites.

The so-called tilted synchronous orbit satellites mean that the orbits of these three satellites are not exactly above the equator, but are at an angle with the earth's equatorial plane.

This allows us to use only three satellites to cover most of China and even the Asia-Pacific region.

Three satellites can be successfully networked, start working, and do some simple navigation work without any problem.

Moreover, Zhang Zhipeng thinks that with his current mastery of relatively advanced chip technology and satellite communication technology, he can also make the satellite's functions more powerful.

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "Well! Let's talk about this matter when we meet Qian Yisheng!"

"Anyway, Qian Yisheng is now the most authoritative satellite expert in our country."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "I think it is better for me to convince the superiors directly than to convince experts Qian."

"As long as the leader is determined, then the work will be carried out easily."

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "Maybe the leader will be willing to meet you."

"He also likes you very much."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Director Zhao, please hand over my letter first and see if the superiors will be moved by my letter."

As Zhang Zhipeng spoke, he took out a letter from his bag.

Zhao Bingkun took the letter and said with a smile: "Oh! This is not sealed."

"Can I take a look first?"

Zhang Zhipeng shrugged and said, "If you want to see it, there is no problem at all."

"There is nothing private in this letter of mine."

Zhao Bingkun smiled and said: "Forget it, I won't watch it."

"It's better to leave it to the leaders to read it themselves."

As he spoke, the car arrived at the Science and Technology Commission compound.

Zhang Zhipeng was placed in the guest house of his work unit.

After that, Zhao Bingkun took Zhang Zhipeng's letter and went directly to see the leader.

Zhao Bingkun briefly reported Zhang Zhipeng’s thoughts.

Then Zhang Zhipeng's love letter was presented.

After reading Zhang Zhipeng's letter, the leader frowned and thought for a long time.

He asked Zhao Bingkun: "Now, is the satellite navigation system in Europe still available?"

"Do you think we can trust people on the European side?"

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "There is currently no progress on the European side. They are still arguing and discussing."

"I think they are on the same side as Robin no matter what."

"As Comrade Zhipeng said, their purpose is to keep us at the bottom of the production chain forever. They hope that we will always be their raw material origin and market dumping place."

"So, I believe that independence, the purpose of development, must never be lost!" "We used to think that we could trust Lizufang."

"However, the cruel reality hit us and caused us to suffer several big losses one after another."

"So, my conclusion is: you can't trust Europe."

The leader nodded and said: "Comrade Zhipeng said that the cost of building a simple satellite navigation system may only be a few hundred million."

"Moreover, once completed, it will play a huge role in our national defense and economic development."

"Do you think the investment figure estimated by Comrade Zhipeng can be believed?"

"Not to mention investing hundreds of millions, even if we invest billions, if we can actually build a usable satellite navigation system, it is still worth doing!"

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "I think Comrade Zhipeng is trustworthy."

"Because, what he said in the past has basically become reality."

"So, he didn't say anything unrealistic."

"His character is still very good!"

The leader smiled and nodded and said, "So, you are inclined to give it a try?"

Zhao Bingkun smiled and said: "If you only invest a few hundred million, I don't think there is much risk, and you can try boldly!"

The leader said: "Comrade Zhipeng's letter is quite convincing."

"Then, call him over."

"I'll talk to him personally."

Just like that, Zhang Zhipeng was received by the leader.

After Zhang Zhipeng met the leader, he explained in detail his theory about using three satellites to form a simple satellite navigation system.

He also drew schematics and stuff on the whiteboard.

After listening to his explanation, the leader was a little elated.

The leader held his hand and said, "Comrade Zhipeng, do it boldly!"

"I will ask all relevant departments to fully support you!

Zhang Zhipeng stayed with the leader for an hour, and then he followed Zhao Bingkun out.

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "It's okay now. The top management agrees with your idea."

"So, we can start taking action now."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "I'm afraid I need Director Zhao's help. I want to do another systematic study on satellites and navigation systems."

Zhao Bingkun waved his hand and said, "This is easy to handle!"

"Let's go to the Satellite Research Institute. By the way, I also want to meet Director Qian of the Satellite Research Institute!"

"This matter cannot be done without his support!"

So, the two people went directly to the Satellite Research Institute under the Academy of Sciences.

Qian Yisheng is a middle-aged man in his 50s.

He has been studying satellites for thirty years and is considered an authoritative expert in the field of satellites in China.

On this day, he was busy in the laboratory when someone came over and told him that Director Zhao Bingkun of the Science and Technology Commission came to see him.

Qian Yisheng wondered what Zhao Bingkun was doing again?

Zhao Bingkun had come over to discuss the establishment of a national satellite navigation system with him before.

Qian Yisheng immediately dismissed the matter.

Because he feels that it is not urgent at all to establish a satellite navigation system.

Also because now you can use Robin's GPS and participate in the construction of the Galileo system in Europe.

Um! Damao also has its own navigation system, which you can use.

If this is the case, then why spend huge sums of money to build your own satellite navigation system?

What's more, we don't have a reliable satellite navigation technology system now.

But when Zhao Bingkun came over, Qian Yisheng didn't dare to neglect him at all.

After all, Zhao Bingkun approved most of the funds!

Qian Yisheng walked out of the laboratory and greeted Zhao Bingkun with a smile: "Hello, Director Zhao! Welcome to come for inspection and guidance!"

Qian Yisheng saw Zhang Zhipeng following Zhao Bingkun.

He has never met Zhang Zhipeng.

Therefore, he just nodded slightly.

Even after saying hello to Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhao Bingkun smiled slightly and said: "Director Qian, I want to introduce you to a true genius!"

"He is Comrade Zhang Zhipeng who developed the domestic CPU and invented the CL20 new high explosive!"

Qian Yisheng suddenly looked at Zhang Zhipeng with his eyes widened.

Qian Yisheng has never met Zhang Zhipeng.

However, he had heard of this man.

Zhang Zhipeng's achievements are truly enviable and enviable.

His achievements involve the fields of computers, aircraft, radar navigation, missiles, and gunpowder. He has made outstanding achievements in any field!

The most important thing is that Zhang Zhipeng is still so young.

As far as Zhang Zhipeng's achievements are concerned, if you give any one of these achievements to other scientific researchers and they can become famous in one fell swoop, they will become academicians and famous writers. There is no problem at all.

"So you are Comrade Zhang Zhipeng! Disrespectful, disrespectful!"

"Isn't this too young?"

"It's so youthful!"

Qian Yisheng smiled and greeted Zhang Zhipeng and shook hands!

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Teacher Qian, I have admired you for a long time!"

"I'm very happy to see you today, haha!"

Qian Yisheng murmured in his heart: Zhang Zhipeng came here again...

I guess you are here for the satellite navigation system again?

When he thought about it, he felt a little annoyed.

Qian Yisheng really doesn’t want to build this satellite navigation system now!

Because it’s a bit too much money, and it won’t produce results at all in a short period of time!

It would be a waste of effort for our country to develop this satellite navigation system!

Qian Yisheng brought Zhao Bingkun and Zhang Zhipeng to his office and sat down.

"Director Zhao, what are your instructions for coming here today?" Qian Yisheng said with a faint smile.

Zhao Bingkun said: "Director Qian! The superiors have already approved it, requiring us to start working immediately to build our own satellite navigation system!"

Qian Yisheng was startled: "Is it really approved by the superiors?"

Zhao Bingkun took out a document and showed it to Qian Yisheng.

After Qian Yisheng read it, he sighed and said, "Isn't this a bit too sudden?"

"Didn't we originally agree to cooperate with the European side?"

Zhao Bingkun said: "We can't wait!"

"The European side is still discussing and negotiating. Moreover, according to the information we have received, their Galileo system may not allow us to participate, because Robin is not willing, and there are also countries within the European continent that do not agree."

"If we wait any longer, the wait may be in vain!"

"The national defense situation is still quite serious now!"

"So, we have to act now."

Qian Yisheng sighed and said, "Didn't I make everything clear?"

"It will take at least ten years to build this satellite navigation system!"

"And before the satellite network is successfully established, it will not be of any use at all!"

"The maximum lifespan of a satellite is only 8 years. What does this mean? The first one means that we have to spend huge sums of money for more than ten years before we can achieve results!"

"Secondly, when we want to build a network, we will find that the satellites launched earlier may have been invalidated and cannot be used."

"If we do this now, it will be like a blind man lighting up a lamp in vain!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Director Qian, I don't think 24 satellites need to be launched to build a satellite navigation system!"

“We can actually use it while building it, no problem at all!”

"Theoretically, only three satellites are needed for positioning."

Qian Yisheng looked at Zhang Zhipeng, shook his head and said, "The navigation satellite is rotating, so it is impossible to stay in one place all the time!"

"If geostationary satellites are launched, all the satellites will form a line above the equator, and there will be no way to achieve three-point positioning..."
