To be able to defend against ballistic missiles, long-range strategic laser weapons are needed. Among the several types of laser weapons, this is the most difficult. Fortunately, the Americans have already had quite mature space-borne, lion systems. There is an optimized land base inside, so it is no problem to use it for anti-missile.

Xu Ziling has never cared about these things, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything. He knows that although laser weapons are powerful, they also have an extremely obvious disadvantage, that is, they have high requirements on the weather when attacking.

When it is rainy and the clouds are thick, the power of the laser beam will be weakened, and after tens of kilometers or even a shorter distance, the beam can no longer reach the power to destroy the target. Considering this feature, he immediately asked the lion: " Lion, after your optimized plan, will the laser beam be affected by the weather after launch?"

"The impact is definitely there, but it is definitely much better than that of the Americans. I have verified a set of plans that can be produced now, and the conclusion is that as long as the weather is not too bad, it can be completely destroyed. High-orbit satellite." The lion answered him immediately.

"Then I'm relieved." Xu Ziling was very satisfied with such an answer.

In his heart, when the weather is bad, as long as it can guarantee the lethality within a range of [-] kilometers, that is enough. Now that the lion said that it can attack high-orbit satellites, what else is he worried about?

But the lion immediately changed the subject, "But I don't suggest you do this now."

……

Xu Ziling was very surprised and asked, "Why?"

"This is a large land-based laser. It is mainly used to destroy enemy satellites. It is a bit extravagant to be used as a missile defense weapon, and the cost of this thing is too high. I estimated that it must be at least 15 billion U.S. dollars."

……

What the fuck, if you get this thing, you can almost get an aircraft carrier, it's too expensive.

"Then do you have other plans?" Thinking of the tone of the lion, Xu Ziling realized that he had other plans.

"Of course there is. There is also a small-scale multi-functional laser weapon solution here. The range can reach hundreds of kilometers. It is completely no problem to defend against missiles. You can see it later." While talking, the lion passed a folder to the On top of the computer on the desk.

"Oh? Really, then I'll take a look first." Hearing that there is such a release, Xu Ziling immediately started to watch it on the computer.

The structure of laser weapons is not complicated. It consists of lasers, targeting systems, and launchers. Compared with missiles and other weapons, it is simpler. Now the technology in this area is not high. The main problem is that this technology is only a short-term development. In just a few decades, the problem of high-energy accumulation has not been solved.

With the lion, it was determined that the optimization plan in its system could make the laser weapon "perfect". Xu Ziling didn't worry about this at all. When he opened the plan, he saw the physical map of the laser weapon immediately.

This is a land-based vehicle-mounted laser. It looks like a weird tank as a whole. It is weird because it is not much different from a tank in appearance. It is also armored and tracked, but its gun The muzzle is different from conventional tanks. It is much thicker than the barrel of a tank, but it is much shorter in terms of length, which is only a little over one meter. At first glance, people who don’t know it will only think that There is only a searchlight installed on the tank.

"Can this thing move? How fast is it?" Xu Ziling looked at this thing and thought of tanks. Mobile weapons for land warfare were also considered by him, but recently the biggest need in the country is the power of the navy and air force. He hadn't had time to get these, but when he saw this, he wondered if it could be applied to tanks.

"The road speed exceeds [-], and the cross-country speed depends on the road conditions. On the fourth-class road, [-] is no problem."

……

Is this tm a tank?Class [-] roads can reach [-], which is even better than off-road vehicles.

Maneuverability has nothing to do with laser weapons. Xu Ziling thought that if such a power system and related technologies could be applied to tanks, wouldn't such tanks be invincible?Running at such a speed, it is difficult for ordinary guns to hit.

It's just that he just thought about it at this time, because it was time to discuss laser weapons, and he kept this matter in his heart, thinking about when to study it again, and then returned to the main topic.

After watching for a while, he asked the lion:

"This thing is about the size of a tank. Can it have that much power?" He had seen American laser weapons before in the underground base in that desert town in the United States, but compared with the one in front of him, this one now It's a little bit too small.

"No problem, the laser is powered by a small nuclear reactor, which is only the size of a fist, and can supply energy more than ten thousand times..."

The lion quickly introduced it, but before he finished speaking, Xu Ziling hurriedly looked up the information and read it.

Md, such a thing actually uses a small nuclear reactor, which is really too high-tech. Hearing what the lion said, he felt that it would be more realistic than seeing it with his own eyes.

When the lion saw his appearance, he knew that his "occupational disease" had occurred again, so he stopped, stopped talking, and let him see for himself.

Xu Ziling looked at it for a while, and he roughly figured out this thing. The car itself is fuel-driven, with the latest pneumatic hydraulic suspension. The whole car is equipped with three people, one is in charge of driving, one is in charge of auxiliary work, and the other is in charge of the laser cannon. .

The interior space of the car is small, the engine system in the front, the laser in the back, including a fully sealed small nuclear reaction device, and then the fusion system. The top of the head is a horizontal 180-degree, left and right 360-degree adjustable muzzle.

The "Hawkeye" radar can be installed in the car. When the radar finds the target, the computer will calculate the shooting distance according to the radar signal and automatically adjust the range. Ground targets are only suitable for flat places because of the direct beam characteristics, not for places with complex terrain.

For example, where there is a mountain, the target is on the other side of the mountain. If it is a tank, the trajectory of the shell can be calculated. As long as it is not shooting at a dead angle, the target can be attacked, but with laser weapons, you can’t penetrate the entire mountain. target it.

"It seems that this thing is only suitable for defensive weapons, not offensive weapons." Xu Ziling muttered after briefly looking at the information.

"That's not necessarily true." Hearing what he said, the lion immediately ran out to refute, "Aren't you thinking about missile defense now? That's why I chose this plan. If you want it to become an offensive weapon, you can Put it on an airplane and fly it into the air, this small one has a range of more than 500 kilometers, and you can hit wherever you want."

"Well, let's just think about defense now." Xu Ziling said bitterly. Now that there are "Shadow Dragon" and "Flying Eagle" and matching missiles, it is obviously inappropriate to develop airborne laser weapons for the time being.

……

After staying in the office with the lion for a long time, Xu Ziling finally decided to choose the plan proposed by the lion. The main purpose of getting this thing is to prevent the Americans from using weapons such as ballistic missiles to attack Markkula. There is no need to come now Consider using it in other ways.

In the military factory, any movement will be known by the people above. Xu Ziling didn't want to tell the matter about the laser weapon, so he didn't rush to come up with this plan. thing.

Two days later, Assad finally contacted Xu Ziling, saying that there was news in China and he needed to talk to Xu Ziling face to face.

"Okay, after an hour and a half, the old place, I will pick you up."

Knowing that he was still in the hotel, Xu Ziling readily agreed to his request for a meeting.

After leaving the office, like last time, they called Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng, and the three drove out in a car.

Arrive at the back street of the hotel on time, pick up Assad, and the car goes out of the city again, "We need [-] anti-ship missiles and [-] surface-to-surface missiles, can you provide them to me?" Once in the car, Assad couldn't wait asked.

"A ground-to-ground missile?" Xu Ziling was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that they wanted a ground-to-ground missile again, and then he reacted, "Are you planning to launch an attack on the opposition?"

At this time, if the Syrian government forces are going to launch a large-scale attack on the opposition, then the cruise missile incident will definitely be exposed. Wouldn't that attract the attention of the Americans?Thinking of this, Xu Ziling frowned, feeling a little headache.

"Yes." Assad nodded directly and admitted, "The situation in our country can no longer withstand a long war."

Are you, Xu Ziling cursed in his heart.

Your country can't afford it, what does it have to do with me?If I really sell the cruise missiles to you, then my side will be in trouble.

The domestic side is facing the situation of transferring abroad, while Markkula is not prepared at all. Once this matter is exposed, the transfer abroad will probably be ruined. Selling it, the big deal is that if you don't admit it, you won't deal with the Americans anyway, but at such a time, any small matter may lead to the abortion of the transfer plan, and he doesn't want to take the risk.

After thinking about it, he said to Assad: "There are things, but there are some problems in the channel, and it will take a year to deliver."

Xu Ziling had considered the one-year delivery time.

This deadline is very common in the international arms trading market. Some orders even lasted for ten years. He proposed one year, so that Assad would not feel that there was anything wrong. For him, one year Afterwards, the plan to transfer overseas should be successful, and by then Markkula will be like an iron barrel, even if the Americans come to make trouble, there is no need to be afraid.

This year's buffer is necessary.
