The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 300 Aircraft Carrier Killer

The development of weapons is closely related to physics, chemistry and mathematics.

One of the important reasons for the rapid development of science in modern Europe is that it focused on developing weapons.

For example, artillery fires a parabola-shaped object. Physics masters such as Newton and Galileo all participated in the development of artillery, which involves mathematics and physics.

When it comes to rockets and airplanes, we have to mention aerodynamics!
When rockets and airplanes fly in the air, they will be affected by the air, and the impact is different in different situations.

So even though Liu Tao only increased the diameter of the missile and lengthened the missile, he has already changed the impact of the air on the missile.

Liu Tao continued to assemble the missile, and then finally repaired the missile through the upgrade point.

After several days of hard work, a slightly modified 'Eagle Strike' missile was finally born.

The length of the missile is still 9 meters, and the diameter is still 1.2 meters, but the tail fins have changed a bit, and the front of the warhead has also changed slightly.

Even for solid rocket engines, the parameters have changed.

Later, Liu Tao developed ship-launched and submarine-launched versions based on this "Eagle Strike" missile.

'Eagle Strike-10', 'Eagle Strike-11' and 'Eagle Strike-12' are air-launched, ship-launched and submarine-launched types respectively.

这三款的战斗头部都是1200公斤，导弹重量3.2~4吨，射程400~600公里，速度1.5~8马赫。

Once the missile is launched, it quickly reaches a speed of Mach 1.5 and an altitude of 12 to 15 meters. When it is 50 nautical miles away from the target, the missile separates an active + microwave thermal guidance airborne radar for the final stage of guidance. At the same time, the missile's four booster missiles are ignited, and the missile hits the target at a speed of Mach 4 to 6. The warhead is detached in the final stage of the attack. Even if the enemy's dense formation or missile interception is possible, it can only watch the missile at such a high speed.

It can't be stopped at all!

The existing missile defense system or artillery interception cannot intercept this anti-ship missile at all.

Moreover, like before, this anti-ship missile also has a strong fake warhead deception tactic. When the enemy discovers the Eagle Strike anti-ship missile 150 kilometers away and intercepts it with a missile, the Eagle Strike anti-ship missile will launch two of its booster rockets to interfere, but in the final attack stage, the attack distance is shortened to 25 nautical miles, and the terminal attack speed of the missile is reduced to 3-4 Mach.

Although the speed has been reduced to Mach 3-4, it cannot be intercepted by current defensive missiles.

"Kitty Hawk-class and Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, you are not safe!" Liu Tao's mouth curled up slightly, and the 'aircraft carrier killer' he specially built for large aircraft carriers was born!
The Kitty Hawk class is the main aircraft carrier of the current US Navy. There are four ships in total, namely, Kitty Hawk, Constellation, America and Kennedy, all of which were commissioned in the 60s. The latest one is Kennedy, which was commissioned in 1968. The standard displacement of the Kitty Hawk class aircraft carrier is 6.1 tons and the full load displacement is 8.2 tons.

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is the most advanced aircraft carrier of the US Navy. There are three aircraft carriers in total, namely the Nimitz, Eisenhower and Carl Vinson. The earliest Nimitz was commissioned in 1975, while the Carl Vinson was commissioned in 1981. The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which is completely different from the previous US aircraft carriers. The standard displacement is 7.3 tons and the full load displacement is 9.15 tons. As early as 1968, the estimated cost of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier was as high as 18.8 billion US dollars, while the cost of the Carl Vinson was as high as 40 billion US dollars.

With such a high cost, it would be a disaster if it were hit by an Eagle Strike-10, Eagle Strike-11 or Eagle Strike-12.

The cost of this missile is 15 to 25 RMB. In other words, based on the current exchange rate, even if one of the 4 "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles hits the target, it would be a huge profit.

After all, a 'Nimitz-class' aircraft carrier is not just an aircraft carrier, it also has various carrier-based aircraft and officers and soldiers!

National Day is approaching.

The five-star red flag can be seen everywhere in the Panshan Machinery Factory, and the festive atmosphere is already strong. The cultural troupe and other units have started celebrating the 33rd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China since a few days ago.

For example, singing red songs or red dramas.

Even schools organize performances for students.

This is the mark of an era and also the brilliance of this era.

Liu Tao has been carrying forward this fine tradition since he became the factory director. He hopes that the entire Panshan system is based on faith, because he has a deep understanding of how powerful the power of faith is.

Patriotism education has always been the top priority of our work.

In addition to performing in the factory, the art troupe also performs at the combined brigade.

Every factory has an art troupe, but the one at the headquarters has the highest level of organization.

When Liu Tao was in the auditorium, he saw Zhao Guoping and his wife. Zhao Guoping was holding the child, and his wife's belly was bulging. It was obvious that she was pregnant with her second child, and she was probably several months pregnant.

That is to say, I am already pregnant now. If it happens next year, it will be troublesome.

Because just a few days ago, family planning was established as China's basic national policy.

This represents a signal, a signal to strengthen family planning.

Although family planning has been in place since 1971, it was more of an initiative and suggestion rather than a mandatory one.

Liu Tao greeted the two of them and then sat down in the first row at the front.

Today is the National Day Gala, and he, as a leader, has to go up and give a speech.

The host came on stage, gave opening remarks, warmed up the audience, and then invited Liu Tao to speak on stage.

Amidst warm applause, Liu Tao stepped onto the stage.

"Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, hundreds of millions of people have worked hard and explored the development path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the process of reform, opening up and modernization, they have created one miracle after another and realized the century-old dream of a prosperous country, a strong people and national rejuvenation. Today's China is full of vitality, various undertakings are thriving, and the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics shows strong vitality."

"Today, we gather here to celebrate the 33rd anniversary of the Republic. With the great belief of 'military industry to save the country' and 'military industry to strengthen the country', we take root in the mountains and forests, forge swords for the motherland, let our soldiers have swords to defend the country and deter the wolves."

After speaking for about ten minutes, Liu Tao left the stage and the party began.

The evening included singing, dancing and poetry recitation.

As for the songs, two of them have the characteristics of Yunnan Province, such as the folk song duet.
