Feng Chaoyang smiled and said, "It's such a coincidence that Director Zhao came here."

"The close-in defense artillery was just finished, and he came running over."

"Comrade Zhipeng, let's go and greet him quickly."

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said: "Okay!"

However, before the two people walked out of the weapons testing site, Zhao Bingkun strode over with his men in a hurry.

He laughed and said, "I just have nothing to do today, and I wanted to come over to see the progress of your place. Unexpectedly, as soon as the car stopped, I heard someone say, have you finished the close-in defense artillery?"

Feng Chaoyang said with a smile: "Thanks to Comrade Zhipeng, without him figuring out the large closed-loop fire control system, we would not be able to build such a good close-in defense artillery!"

"Director Zhao, we have tested it, and the effect is really great!"

Feng Chaoyang briefly introduced the test parameters.

Zhao Bingkun's eyes widened when he heard this.

"No way?"

"According to your introduction, isn't that even more powerful than Robin's Phalanx?"

Feng Chaoyang said with a smile: "It's much more powerful than the Phalanx!"

"It can hit farther than it, and has a faster rate of fire! It is more responsive! Moreover, it can defend against dozens of targets at a time, no problem at all!"

Zhao Bingkun looked at the close-range defense gun not far away and walked over.

He walked back and forth around the prototype several times, observing it very carefully.

"Huh?! This barrel can't be used anymore, right?"

"If you use it again, it might explode."

Zhao Bingkun observed the barrel carefully and said.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "The alloy used to make the gun barrel is not very good and cannot withstand the impact and instantaneous high temperature caused by high-speed shooting."

"So, next, the barrel must be modified. The barrel alloy must be the best. In addition, all the cooling equipment must be improved."

"I think this is all a minor problem. Our past breakthroughs in alloy materials can still be used."

Zhao Bingkun waved his hand and said: "Then seize the time and improve it!"

"Close-in defense guns are really important! They are almost the last means of self-protection for warships."

Zhang Zhipeng nodded with a smile and said: "Then let's improve it a little more. We must make this gun not only fast-firing, long-range and responsive, but also stable, reliable, strong and durable!"

Zhao Bingkun said: "Yes! That's the request!"

"Zhipeng, it's not just the close-range artillery that requires more attention!"

"There are also ship-based missiles, so you need to get some snacks!"

"Because these weapons all need to be integrated!"

"The entire 052D battleship must have a central control system that is stable, reliable, fast and easy to use! Make the operation smoother and smoother, and enable the fastest response!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "I have been in contact with Comrade Qian Weifeng several times. There should be no problem if they modify it according to my technical drawings."

"I'll go to his place to have a look in a few days."

Zhao Bingkun smiled and said: "With you, I can save a lot of trouble, haha! I just went to the Modu Shipyard two days ago and found that their shipbuilding speed is really much faster."

"I heard from their person in charge that many important components are processed in different factory workshops according to the drawings to ensure quality and quantity."

"They are quite optimistic, saying that they should be able to build the battleship shell within half a year!"

"Zhipeng! Your modular production is really useful!"

Zhao Bingkun did not stay at the anti-aircraft gun station for too long before leaving in a hurry.

In the following period, the team of Zhang Zhipeng and Feng Chaoyang began to modify and test the barrel of the close-in defense gun.

After some intense experiments in the experimental factory, they finally created a tougher and more durable close-in defense gun barrel, and they further improved the barrel's cooling system.

After various debugging, Zhang Zhipeng was quite satisfied with the final product.

Close-in defense cannons are the last resort for a large ship to save its life, so all countries are working hard on research and development, hoping to create close-in defense cannons with fast firing speed, responsiveness and more accurate shooting.

The reason why Zhang Zhipeng wants to increase the firing rate of artillery shells to 1.1 rounds per minute is because he knows that the speed of missiles will become faster and faster in the future.

Hypersonic missiles often have terminal attack speeds of five, six or even ten Mach. If the close-in defense gun is not fast enough, it will be impossible to stop the hypersonic missile.

The rate of fire must exceed 10,000 per minute before interception can be successful.

It is said that the rate of fire can reach more than 10,000 rounds per minute. In fact, this just means that its reaction speed is extremely fast. In a very short time, it can complete rapid bursts of fire to destroy incoming missiles or aircraft.

The thing was made, but Feng Chaoyang felt a little sore.

Because it is too expensive to build such a cannon.

Not even a penny of profit was added, and the cost was almost 10 million. The main reason is that the various materials are too expensive.

Most of these materials were obtained by Zhang Zhipeng and had not been paid to his brother's unit.

But Zhao Bingkun only gave Feng Chaoyang 5 million in funding.

"Comrade Zhipeng, we seem to have lost money this time! I don't know if Director Zhao will compensate us for the difference." Feng Chaoyang said.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "As long as our things are well made! Director Zhao will definitely not give us such a small fee!"

"In the future, our country will invest more in the military! We will never be as stretched as we are now."

It is now 1995, and China's military expenditure growth is indeed about to enter a stage of rapid growth.

The modification of the close-in defense gun was completed. This time, they did not test it themselves, but directly called Zhao Bingkun.

Zhao Bingkun quickly came over with a group of people from the Naval Equipment Department.

After meeting Zhao Bingkun, Feng Chaoyang immediately expressed his bitterness, saying that he almost had to wear his pants in order to build a better close-in defense cannon.

I still owe several million to my brother's company on credit.

Zhao Bingkun smiled and punched Feng Chaoyang in the chest and said, "Comrade Chaoyang, as long as what you come up with is good, the extra money you spend is just a drop of money!"

"So, don't cry poor yet! Let me do the test first! Let me see the effect before talking!"

Naturally, the thing was quickly pulled to the testing ground.

This close-range anti-cannon is very stylish, beautiful, and eye-catching in appearance!

Zhang Zhipeng told Zhao Bingkun and others about the improvements in the barrel and cooling system.

Of course, I also talked about the reasons why this cannon is so expensive. The main reason is that the alloy is relatively scarce and the materials are quite expensive.

However, if the alloy smelting technology and production scale can be improved in the future, then there should be a lot of room for cost reduction.

Zhao Bingkun laughed and said: "Stop it! Don't talk about the cost or anything like that!"

“Today, it’s mainly about looking at the quality of things!”

“The stuff is ready, it’s not worth 100 million!”

“If something doesn’t work, it’s not even worth a hundred dollars!”

Liu Guosheng also nodded and said: "Close-in defense artillery is indeed too important, and it must be easy to use!"

"If the rate of fire can really reach more than 1 rounds per minute and the shooting distance can reach 3 kilometers, it will definitely be very powerful!"

"Actually, if Comrade Zhipeng says it's okay, then I think it must be good, haha! I have great confidence in Comrade Zhipeng!"

Zhao Bingkun laughed and said: "Haha! Liu Guosheng, have you learned how to flatter Zhang Zhipeng?! However, I think you should really flatter Zhang Zhipeng!"

"Because he can really bring you a lot of surprises!"

"Okay, enough gossiping, let's get down to the real work!"

The test officially begins.

This time, in order to highlight the efficiency and high speed of this close-in defense gun, the target throwing machine threw thirteen targets at a time two thousand meters away.

These targets are distributed in an arc-shaped space with an angle close to a semicircle.

And it was like a goddess scattering flowers.

The close-range defense cannon was naturally activated before the target was thrown up.

Almost at the same time that the target was thrown up, the close-in defense gun roared instantly, firing out more than a dozen bursts in almost a second at a speed that was so fast that the naked eye could not see the afterimage.

13 targets were torn apart by an instant hit.

Zhao Bingkun, Liu Guosheng and others looked at the scene in front of them with wide eyes. They were all very happy.

"it is good!"

"so amazing!"

"This speed is simply unimaginable!"

"Hahaha! Comrade Zhang Zhipeng, this time, you have brought us a miracle again!"

Zhao Bingkun and others were so excited that they clapped and shouted.

They ran to the close-range anti-cannon and watched carefully.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Director Zhao, do you think more than 20 million for such a cannon is acceptable?"

Zhao Bingkun was about to nod, but immediately felt something was wrong: "What the hell? Didn't you just say it was only more than 10 million?"

Feng Chaoyang said: "Director Zhao, more than ten million is just the cost price."

"No matter what, we have to make some profit, right?"

Zhao Bingkun smiled and pointed at the two people with his fingers and said, "You guys! Are you after money?"

"It's okay to make profits! But you also have to be considerate of the country's difficulties, right? We only have a small amount of funds, so we can't talk too much. It's not impossible to increase profits appropriately, eh! Feng Chaoyang, for the sake of it For the sake of the good things you have produced, I will allow you to make 15% profit on each cannon! No more!"

Zhao Bingkun also felt a little bitter in his heart!

He really wanted to be generous.

He also knew that these scientists were really suffering.

However, there are too many places where the country needs to spend money on the military.

He really couldn't tolerate his lavish spending, so he had to be careful with his calculations.

A Burke-class Robin costs about 15 billion U.S. dollars! But Zhao Bingkun knew that his family couldn't even accept a 052D that cost 15 billion soft sister coins to compete with the Burke class.

Again, I am really too poor.

A 052D costs 15 billion, so wouldn’t it cost 150 billion to build a dozen or so ships?

A bit expensive.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Director Zhao probably doesn't have much money now. Otherwise, he would definitely not be so instigative."

"Director Feng, I think we should understand Director Zhao a little bit."

Feng Chaoyang smiled and said: "Then listen to Comrade Zhipeng. If this cannon is made for us, we will get 15% of the profit for each one. Our anti-aircraft artillery institute has already done the work of sacrificing our own interests for the country. A lot, not least this time.”

Zhao Bingkun glanced at Zhang Zhipeng gratefully, shook his head with a smile and said: "I also know that it is unethical to do this! Haha! However, our funds are indeed not rich now! When our money is not so stretched Don’t worry! I will definitely compensate you well!”

Zhao Bingkun was very satisfied with this close-in defense gun jointly developed by Zhang Zhipeng and the Anti-aircraft Artillery Research Institute. Liu Guosheng and others were also very satisfied. If such a heaven-defying close-in defense gun was used on future warships, it would really be more than just eye-catching. It also adds great security to the battleship.

Who wouldn't like such a good thing?

Zhao Bingkun asked Zhang Zhipeng for his opinion and asked what a better name should be given to this close-in defense gun.

Zhang Zhipeng said without hesitation: "This cannon has 11 barrels and a shell diameter of 30 mm. Let's call it the 1130 close-in defense cannon!"

This can be regarded as a tribute to the close-range defense cannon from the previous life!

Liu Guosheng said with a smile: "Why not name it with the first letter of your name? This is also an honor, right?"

Zhang Zhipeng waved his hand and said, "Da Mao likes to do this, and we won't follow him."

"We don't need to overemphasize individual contributions, because we pay more attention to the strength of the collective!"

Zhao Bingkun nodded with satisfaction and said: "Why is Comrade Zhipeng so lovable? Mainly because he has high consciousness and knows how to behave."

"However, although the collective power is very powerful, it still needs a strong leader to be able to exert it."

"With Comrade Zhipeng's contribution, even if it is not named after him, everyone will actually remember him."

After the close-in defense artillery was completed, Zhang Zhipeng returned to Chang'an.

He missed his son. No matter what, he would go back to see his wife and son to satisfy his family's happiness.

After staying in Chang'an for two or three days, Zhang Zhipeng went to the missile station.

Since Zhao Bingkun hoped that he would be more careful and combine with Qian Weifeng, Zhang Zhipeng felt that he still needed to take the leader's words to heart.

When he arrived at the missile station, Qian Weifeng warmly received him.

Qian Weifeng is now leading all the scientific researchers of the Missile Institute to work overtime to transform a series of ship-based missiles.

This project is actually not too difficult.

Especially when Zhang Zhipeng gave a specific plan for transformation.

However, it requires sufficient care and caution.

Qian Weifeng took Zhang Zhipeng to visit their transformation results.

After Zhang Zhipeng tested these results, he quite recognized Qian Weifeng's work.

Qian Weifeng raised his own doubts at this time: "Comrade Zhipeng, why must the launch method of ship-based missiles be changed to vertical launch?"

"I personally feel that hanging hair increases the difficulty, and the launch is not concealed enough. The high temperature and heat generated in the launch crater after launch are not easy to deal with."

"Also, although vertical launch can hit the opponent 360 degrees, it seems to be quite troublesome to reload the missile after it is launched, right?"

"On the contrary, the inclined missile launcher makes reloading the missile more convenient."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and explained to Qian Weifeng why he wanted to use the hair hanging system.

The first point is that it can greatly increase the carrying capacity of missiles.

For example, the 052D destroyer under construction has a total of 64 launch pits, and it can also achieve four bombs in one pit.

That's a lot more ammunition than the inclined launcher.

Moreover, the inclined launcher takes up a lot of space and will break up the warship into pieces.

The second advantage is that the vertical hair system can have faster response capabilities, allowing it to seize the opportunity in an ever-changing battlefield.

The third advantage is the omnidirectional attack capability, which can attack in all directions. The flexible orbit-changing ability can reduce the risk of being discovered by the enemy, and the use of firepower is also more flexible.

The fourth advantage is that the vertical launcher can launch multiple missiles in a very short time to target different targets or different locations on the same target. The density of attack firepower increases and the deterrence is stronger.

The fifth advantage is that the design of the vertical launch system is sufficient to adapt to the assembly of multiple types of missiles, and can more fully utilize the performance of new missiles.

After Zhang Zhipeng explained to Qian Weifeng, Qian Weifeng nodded and said, "Comrade Zhipeng, when you said this, I discovered that the vertical launch really has many advantages over the tilt launch."

"It's no wonder that almost all of Robin's warships use the hair-down mode."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Generally speaking, of the 64 vertical pits, more than half are for anti-aircraft missiles and one-third are for anti-ship."

"As long as one anti-ship missile hits the opponent, it can basically cripple or even sink a warship of more than 4 tons."

"So, as long as we take a preemptive strike, the missiles with 64 vertical launch systems are enough."

Zhang Zhipeng and Qian Weifeng's team began to modify various types of ship-based missiles.

It was at this time that Zhang Zhipeng suddenly thought: Should he try to develop a hypersonic missile?

For anti-ship purposes, hypersonic missiles would be more useful.

Because if the missile is too slow, it will be easily intercepted by the opponent.

Zhang Zhipeng is wondering: If the hypersonic missile YJ21 is taken out in advance, will it be a greater deterrent to Robin?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhang Zhipeng feels that he is really capable of developing hypersonic missiles.

There are about seven technical difficulties in hypersonic missiles.

The first difficulty is that hypersonic weapons face high temperature challenges!

Because when flying at more than 5 times the speed of sound, aerodynamic effects generate a large amount of heat energy, and the surface temperature of the projectile is likely to exceed 2 degrees.

If the thermal protection is not good enough, then the precision instruments in the missile will inevitably be damaged by high temperature.

If this problem is not solved, it will be difficult for hypersonic missiles to succeed.

However, Zhang Zhipeng actually accumulated quite a lot of experience in thermal protection.

He thought he should be able to solve this problem easily.

As for the communication problem wrapped in the plasma sheath, Zhang Zhipeng has actually solved it.

The rest are issues such as missile positioning, navigation and precise timing.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another issue that needs to be focused on, and that is what kind of engine the hypersonic cruise missile uses!

The engine is indeed a more important issue.

If the engine can't handle it, the speed will definitely not go up.

But these problems don't seem to be too big a problem for Zhang Zhipeng.

Because Zhang Zhipeng can now be said to be a top expert in aircraft engines.

With the help of the system, he has in-depth knowledge and research on almost all types of engines. Therefore, integrating an efficient engine is really not a big deal.

Zhang Zhipeng told Qian Weifeng his idea of ​​developing hypersonic cruise missiles.

After hearing this, Qian Weifeng felt that Zhang Zhipeng's idea was really good.

Because hypersonic cruise missiles can tear through anti-missile protection sharply!

Moreover, hypersonic cruise missiles can be launched at any time, have fast response times, and can strike opponents in just a few minutes.

This is more effective than ballistic missiles hitting aircraft carriers.

If it can really be realized, it will be like adding another big killer weapon to China!

However, it is also quite difficult to develop hypersonic cruise missiles.

Because this involves too many technical difficulties.

Although many of these technical difficulties have actually been solved.

But at present, there are still many obstacles.

For example, the speed of hypersonic missiles generally exceeds Mach 5, but currently there is no engine that can help achieve this speed. Also, at such a high speed, how to control the missile to maneuver is quite a challenge.

Because at such a high speed, any maneuvering action will produce structural and aerodynamic loads on the projectile, which places higher requirements on the design.

In addition, hypersonic missiles also face challenges such as thermal protection, communications, positioning, navigation and timing.

In short, hypersonic cruise missiles are really not a simple project.

After all, ballistic missiles only need temporary thermal protection when they re-enter the atmosphere.

But hypersonic cruise missiles always fly in the atmosphere.

After Qian Weifeng finished talking about his worries, Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Comrade Weifeng, there are indeed many difficulties in shooting and developing hypersonic cruise missiles."

"But the solution is always more difficult than the difficulty!"

"I think all your worries can be solved!"

"If this hypersonic cruise missile is developed, it will be of great significance to us."

"Hypersonic cruise missiles are highly maneuverable and have faster strike speeds. Their deterrent power is not ordinary! Haha!"

"I think we should work hard on this! If it yields results, it will be of great significance to the country."

Qian Weifeng smiled and said: "Since Comrade Zhipeng said so, let's give it a try."

Next, Zhang Zhipeng worked with Qian Weifeng's team to develop hypersonic cruise missiles.

Problems are solved one by one.

For example, regarding the issue of thermal protection, Zhang Zhipeng finally developed a c/c composite material based on carbon fiber fabric, which is a pure carbon multi-phase structural material.

The thermal protection effect of this material is very excellent, and it is widely used.

After the pure carbon multiphase structural material was developed, various tests were naturally carried out, and the test results were very good.

It only took Zhang Zhipeng a little more than a week to come up with this new material.

This shocked Qian Weifeng.

Because this material is resistant to high temperatures and pressures, has low density, excellent friction properties, and extremely low thermal expansion rate.

Therefore, this material can be used in a wide range of applications.

Not only hypersonic missiles, it can be fully used in aerospace, turbine engines, automobile brakes, internal combustion engines, etc.

In fact, this kind of C/C composite material has been developed for a long time, and Robin began to use it in aerospace technology in the late 1970s.

Of course, this material is also top secret and is not allowed to be shared at all. It is even prohibited from being exported to China.
