The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Technological breakthroughs are like a girl chasing a boy, with a layer of gauze between them.

If you break through, the world will be vast, but if you can't break through, you will never get the truth!

So doing scientific research and experiments is a process of trial and error. After thousands of experiments, you will experience all the mistakes, and there will always be a correct result!

People with good luck may succeed once or twice, but this is a fluke.

And people with bad luck may not be able to get on the right path ten thousand or one hundred thousand times.

Laser technology, all countries have invested a lot of resources in it.

Especially in China, laser weapons have been put into actual combat, which has played a huge deterrent role, and countries have invested more in laser weapons.

However, whether it is the United States or Russia, the progress in laser weapons is actually unsatisfactory, because they have not broken through this layer of gauze, and they still face many technical difficulties.

It's not that there are no American spies or Russian spies who want to get the corresponding technical information from China, but China's confidentiality system is very strong, and the corresponding technology of laser weapons is at the highest level of confidentiality. How easy is it for them to get it!

Electromagnetic guns, also regarded as new-age weapons, have been paid attention to since the beginning of the 20th century. For almost a hundred years, research on electromagnetic guns has never stopped.

The first person to formally propose the concept of electromagnetic launch/electromagnetic guns and conduct experiments was Professor Birkeland of Physics at the University of Oslo in Norway. He obtained the patent for "electric guns" in 1901. In 1920, Fortune Villepleur of France published the article "Electric Guns". Almost at the same time, the Electric Gun Company in Philadelphia, USA, developed an electromagnetic accelerator for artillery. During World War II, stimulated by military needs, Germany and Japan developed electromagnetic guns. Hensley of Germany once accelerated a 10-gram projectile to an initial velocity of 1.2 kilometers per second with an electromagnetic gun.

The concept of using an electromagnetic gun to launch a spacecraft in the 1970s. In the early 1970s, the Australian National University built the first electromagnetic launch device, which accelerated a 3-gram plastic block (cannonball) to a speed of 6,000 meters per second. Since then, Australian and American scientists have made different types of experimental prototypes and conducted multiple launch experiments. Electromagnetic guns powered by monopole generators can accelerate 318-gram shells to a speed of 4,200 meters per second. Flux compression electromagnetic guns can accelerate 2-gram shells to a speed of 11,000 meters per second.

In the 1970s, Dr. Charity Marshall of the Australian National University used new technology to accelerate 3-gram projectiles to 5.9 kilometers per second. This achievement experimentally proved that it is feasible to use electromagnetic force to propel objects to ultra-high speeds. After the experimental results were announced in 1978, they attracted special attention from the military of various countries. The US Defense Committee concluded that "future high-performance weapons must be based on electrical energy." The US Department of Defense established the "Electromagnetic Gun Joint Committee" to coordinate the scattered research work of the military, the Department of Energy, the Defense Atomic Energy Agency, and the Strategic Defense Initiative.

In 1980, the experimental electromagnetic gun built by Westinghouse for "Star Wars" accelerated a 300-gram shell to about 4 kilometers per second, and in a vacuum, this speed can be increased to 8 to 10 kilometers per second.

In 1992, the United States had pushed a 90mm caliber electromagnetic gun prototype with a muzzle energy of 9 megajoules to the Yuma shooting range for testing. The electromagnetic gun's transition from the laboratory to the shooting range shows that the power supply miniaturization technology has made a breakthrough.

When the United States proposed the "Star Wars", laser weapons and electromagnetic guns were included in the key projects of the "Star Wars" armament plan and were regarded as secret weapons against nuclear bombs.

Later, the electromagnetic gun research was cancelled by Clinton because of the huge expenses. However, during the Bush Jr. period, the US Navy restarted the electromagnetic gun research and invested a lot of funds in electromagnetic gun research.

However, the electromagnetic gun research in the United States is still a long way from being put into practical use.

China started research in this area relatively late, and before that it was in the stage of cultivating talents.

It was not until Liu Tao personally established this project that China leapt to the world's leading level in the field of electromagnetic gun technology.

Until now, electromagnetic guns are used on warships.

Although it is only experimental now, in fact, if there is an emergency, it is no problem to directly apply it to actual combat.

Now, what we are considering is nothing more than training talents and costs.

But in wartime, what we are considering is winning the war.

Although this time it was not a simultaneous launch, but only the launch of a single electromagnetic gun, the experimental results are still shocking.

The maximum range reached 500 kilometers!

And the maximum firing rate reached a terrifying speed of Mach 8.

Zhang Zhaozhong and others looked at the test data and couldn't help but take a breath.

Such a long range means that the development of the navy will usher in revolutionary changes.

The world navy once ushered in the era of battleships. The so-called battleships are high-tonnage naval combat ships that mainly rely on the attack power of large-caliber artillery and the protection of heavy armor.

But later, battleships were eliminated!

The reason for being eliminated was because with the appearance of aircraft carriers and missiles, the combat effectiveness of the battleship was seriously challenged. The emergence of aircraft carriers extended from plane to three -dimensional, while the battleship became the easy attack target of the carrier's carrier -based aircraft due to its bulky body shape and limited maneuverability. At the same time, the cost and maintenance costs of battleships are extremely high. In contrast, ships such as aircraft carriers and missile destroyers can provide more comprehensive and efficient combat capabilities, resulting in the gradually elimination of the battleship.

But now, with the application of electromagnetic cannons on the naval combat ship, the Navy will usher in another huge change.

This is the particularity of the navy. The application of a new type of weapon may often lead to changes in the naval combat methods, and tactics and strategies will change.

Of course, this is not to say that the aircraft carrier will be eliminated.

After all, the most important function of the aircraft carrier is still as a combat platform. The real combat power depends on carrier -based aircraft.

This is Huaxia's nuclear -powered aircraft carrier, so is the same!

However, Huaxia's nuclear -powered aircraft carrier strengthened air defense capabilities through air defense missiles and laser cannons.

Liu Tao is still very satisfied with this experiment.

Although before that, the electromagnetic cannon has been tested on land, but the marine environment and the land environment are huge differences. Who knows that the electromagnetic cannon will be disturbed by the marine environment.

Liu Tao told Zhang Zhaozhong and asked them to explore the relevant technologies and applications of the 058 heavy cruiser, and left.

Until now, he only needs to solve key technologies.

As for others, a large number of technical personnel are solved.

Many people are saying that Huaxia has a huge demographic dividend.

However, Liu Tao knows that compared to the huge demographic dividend, the huge engineer dividends are the biggest dividends of Huaxia today.

It is precisely because Huaxia has trained a large number of engineers in the past that Huaxia can have the world's most complete industrial chain and the world's largest industrial cluster to form a terrible scale effect.

Any product, the production cost in Huaxia is the lowest!

Even if it is some low -end manufacturing, Huaxia's production costs are the lowest!

For example, the textile industry, although the labor cost of Huaxia continues to rise and the production cost seems to be rising, it does not actually, because Huaxia's electricity cost and material cost are declining!

This has led to the transfer of low -end manufacturing industries such as the coastal areas and textile industry, and Nanyang has introduced various policies to attract this industry, but it is only a part of the transfer to Nanyang. Nanyang's, but the garment is in Huaxia.

Raw materials, production, brand, design, etc., have long been perfect in Huaxia.

This is the case for low -end manufacturing, let alone mid -to -high -end manufacturing and high -precision manufacturing industry!

By 2009, Huaxia was the largest industrial country in history, and the output value of industrial output was equal to the total output value of the next ten industrial countries.

Any product, Huaxia can produce, is nothing more than production costs and quality issues!

Just like now, it is said that the 058 heavy cruiser has a large number of advanced technologies. It does not take ten years, and it can inevitably be industrialized. The production cost of the entire 058 heavy cruiser is greatly reduced.

Liu Tao went directly to Macau by the "Thunder Eagle" helicopter. Macau also upheld May 1 Xiaoqing, every eleven celebration. This year is just a full -fledged celebration, and the Macau side is very grand. The relevant celebration work began preparations and expands after entering New Year's Day in 2009.

Until now, with the continuous push of time, the footsteps are getting closer and closer, and this atmosphere is very strong.

After the rapid development of these years, although Macau is less than one million, the population in the Jursuze Cooperation Zone has a population of 3 million.

Now Macau is the highest per capita GDP city in the world!

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

In other people's impression, Macau is a gambling city, with the gaming industry as the core. But in fact, Macau is now a modern city, and the gaming industry only accounts for less than one -third of Macau!

Nowadays, Macau is extremely prosperous!

In terms of urban construction and urban management, they are all in the world's leading position!

There are both historical heritage and modernity, and there are many tourists every year.

In the Zhuhai -Macao integrated cooperation zone, it is also mainly Macau.

In the integrated integration of Macau, it is also active and active promoted, and even with Zhuhai's economic development has been listed among the entire Guangdong province.

Perhaps in ten years, the entire population of the Chu -Macao may be more than 15 million, becoming a real international metropolis!

When Liu Tao arrived in the city of Macau, he saw that the streets and alleys were full of national flags and special administrative divisions.

Since the return, Macau has been much better than Xiangjiang in the integration of Huaxia and the development of patriotism.

The subway here in Macau has even connected to the Metro network in Zhuhai.

The streets and alleys are placed on the national anthem and "Singing the Motherland" and "The Song of the Seven Sons".

Elementary school students and middle school students wear school uniforms and red scarves.

For Macau, to be honest, no one is dissatisfied.

Excellent children, well -behaved and obedient, no parent will not like it!

For example, regarding the strategy of the Greater Bay Area, Macau is much more active than Xiangjiang, and even more active than Guangdong Province!

In terms of the next five-year plan, the Macao Special Administrative Region Government plans to invest 200 billion yuan to promote the construction of the Greater Bay Area!

Macao has very good educational resources, medical resources, and tourism resources. Even in terms of scientific research, it is enough to rank among the top ten in the country!

In terms of social welfare as a whole, Macao is also in a leading position in the country, far ahead of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

You should know that the policies for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are the same, but the development of the three places is at different levels and blooms different flowers.

In terms of assistance, Macao is also the most active, and the cities assisted by Macao are also the first to complete the poverty alleviation work.

The current head of Macao has participated in poverty alleviation work for five years!

In the evening, everyone visited the Macao Museum together. This is also a must-visit place for many people who come to Macao for tourism. There are many precious cultural relics.

In addition, it is to comfort the troops stationed in Macao.

The troops stationed in Macao, including those in the Pearl River, have a total of one synthetic brigade, plus a naval brigade and an aviation brigade!

However, unlike the Hong Kong Garrison, which is often a heavy or medium-sized combined brigade, the Macao Garrison is often a light combined brigade!

Early the next morning, a military parade was held in the city square, and the Macao Garrison and the police were reviewed.

The sky was clear and sunny!

Even at the end of the year, the weather in Macao is still very pleasant!

More than 100,000 Hong Kong citizens came to watch the military parade.

It is very different from the National Day military parade. The marching column of this military parade only has the three-service guard of honor and the police column, and the rest are equipment columns.

The infantry rode on all-terrain vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles, and then there were various self-propelled artillery, and then there were light tank columns. There were hundreds of light tanks, 4 in each row, a total of 28 rows, plus all-terrain vehicles, various self-propelled artillery, etc., showing an overwhelming momentum.

Any enemy will be crushed.

The Macao Garrison is also the biggest stabilizer in Macao.

Once, the troops stationed in Macao won the first-class collective merit, which was the first time in the entire army in ten years.

It is not easy to win the first-class merit, let alone the first-class collective merit!

That is the entire garrison in Macao!

The military parade ceremony was grand and solemn, showing that the garrison in Macao is a civilized and powerful army!

And the citizens of Macao are also full of affection for the garrison in Macao.

Since the return, the garrison in Macao has always actively participated in disaster relief work whenever there is heavy rain or typhoon, and so far, no soldier has ever taken a needle or thread from the masses!

Every year, there are always soldiers on vacation who encounter citizens who fall into the water, or there are any dangerous situations, and then they go to save the people regardless of their own lives, fully carrying forward the heroic qualities of the people's soldiers.

For so many years, the garrison in Macao has sacrificed the most in disaster relief and courage!

After the entire light combined brigade was reviewed, it was the Army Aviation Brigade. The first to start was the helicopter formation, followed by the J-10 fighter jets and the J-11 fighter jets. The Navy Brigade was also reviewed simply. Two Type 054 frigates, one Type 052 destroyer, four Type 022 missile boats, and four Type 022 torpedo boats formed the Navy formation. Citizens could see the Navy formation appearing on the sea. (End of this chapter)
