Chapter 814 Top Secret Test
"The aerial target has been identified and locked, and the 100,000 kilowatt beam energy electromagnetic wave soft damage test, the countdown of the first test begins, 10, 9, 8...1! Launch!" On Gemini Island, the strong electromagnetic soft damage research project guided by Duke quickly completed the theoretical preparation and test plan, and began the actual test work. With the order of the project commander-in-chief, the engineer who controlled the beam energy electromagnetic emitter in Gemini Island clicked the launch button on the computer, and a powerful electromagnetic wave instantly hit a satellite-shaped test chamber at an altitude of 80,000 meters from Gemini Island.
This is a destructive test device brought to a high altitude by a hot air balloon. The test site is filled with different types of computing chips and satellite transmission baseband chips used by various US satellites. According to Duke's requirements, the protection measures taken on the periphery of these chips are basically the same as the protection of the actual US satellites obtained by the intelligence department. Even if we have not mastered the specific protection capabilities of some US satellites, domestic satellite development units will analyze and predict them and use domestic approximation technology to simulate. The test chamber used for the first time today simulates the situation of the most common low-orbit military reconnaissance satellites in the US military.
Because beam-energy electromagnetic waves have strong lethality to electronic components, Duke's experimental team no longer uses drones to carry them, but uses hot air balloons. This makes it easier to recover after the destructive test is completed. Unlike drones, it may cause the drone to lose control and fly randomly, or damage the engine's electronic system and cause the engine to stop operating and crash directly. During the initial experiment of strong electromagnetic wave destructive test, a Wingsho UAV turned into an uncontrollable aircraft, and eventually had to dispatch an Air Force fighter to shoot it down on the sea.
In this research, Duke and the others have no foundation, because at the Lotus Base, since the successful development of the beam energy electromagnetic wave emitter, they have been conducting related research at the same time with two research branches, and have achieved many results and valuable experimental data.
Based on these data, Duke quickly used the island's supercomputing center to cooperate with Kerry to deduce a series of experimental simulation calculation formulas. Today's experiment is based on some parameters obtained by simulation simulation operations.
Among them, the 100,000 kilowatt-level electromagnetic wave soft damage used in the first test today is a medium-power intensity electromagnetic beam near-space electromagnetic soft damage test. It does not pursue instant damage to the target electronic components, but is preparing to cause strong electromagnetic damage to these electronic components under a long period of strong electromagnetic radiation (such as 30 seconds long) and cause their faults. This method is more widely used than strong electromagnetic instantaneous hard damage on the one hand, and on the other hand, the faults caused are more like accidental failures that occur naturally, making it more difficult to detect.
Soon, after the experimental chamber was recycled, after testing by electronic engineers, some of the targets were achieved. Some electronic components had completely failed under the electromagnetic wave radiation of this power intensity, but some survived tenaciously.
However, today is not just this test. While recycling and analysis here, the second and third tests... One test after another continues in full swing. After more than ten carefully designed near-air beam energy electromagnetic wave soft damage tests, Duke's team finally mastered the critical condition data of damage to key electronic components such as US military satellite computing chips and transmission base chips in the presence of the near-air atmosphere.
With these critical new test data parameters, the calculation accuracy of the simulation computing application developed by Duke can be further improved. When deducing soft damage to electromagnetic attack targets at longer distances, critical kill power that is closer to actual damage can be derived.
Next, the verification near-space electromagnetic wave soft damage test continued to be completed and achieved perfect test results, Duke's strong electromagnetic wave soft damage research team obtained a real low-Earth orbit satellite for testing. This is a military reconnaissance satellite owned by the People's Liberation Army that has been operating for nearly 8 years and is about to be scrapped.
In terms of core computing chips and satellite transmission base chips, all of them are chips from the United States. Before Duke emerged, our country did not have the ability to produce such precision and reliable chips. Of course, the chip department of SAL now has the core chip design and production capabilities of the world's top IT industry today, whether it is the CPU/GPU used by computers or mobile phones, or the DSP and transmission base chips for various decoding applications.
It is precisely because of these shocking results that the domestic computer industry and information industry now have the capital to develop independently and have the ability to fully compete with the two industries of the United States.
However, what Duke's research team is to solve the problem of how to use this beam energy electromagnetic emitter from Gemini Island to covertly and effectively solve the major problem of US military satellites. After careful preparation, Duke's team's first satellite strong electromagnetic wave attack test has entered the real implementation stage. In order to minimize the impact and confidentiality of weather factors on the test, this test specially chose a sunny night.
In the distant mainland, Duke looked at the Gemini Island Experimental Center every move through the remote high-definition video system developed by SAL on a huge magic mirror curtain wall. Although he was a little excited, after careful calculations by the research team, Duke had actually had 99% of the successful tests tonight.
At the same time, there were also big bosses from the Beijing Military Commission. They also deliberately separated from the heavy military planning and watched today's key experiment on the spot.
Their mood was completely different from Duke. Although the research team had reported the briefing of the experiment to them in advance, and had a clear explanation of the main steps and probability of success of the experiment, no one could not help but be motivated before seeing the actual results. Before the test entered the countdown, Vice Chairman Liu could not sit still and walked around in an independent remote video conference room at the command and combat center, looking a little uneasy.
"Old man, Duke said that 99% of this test is fine, so there is basically no problem." Qin Tairan, who was specially called to watch and undertake the task of explaining this special test, felt confident that no one in this world is more confident than Duke's words. In this regard, Qin Tairan has blindly followed the point where even Duke's wife Shu Ya cannot compare to.
"Xiao Qin, are you full of confidence in Duke?" Vice Chairman Liu stopped and stared at Qin Tairan and said, "The success of this experiment is crucial to our army's next combat plan. The probability of failure is also worrying."
In terms of sea and air strength, the People's Liberation Army still has a serious gap in strength with the US military. It can rely on the land to fight against the US military as soon as possible. However, if it is really a head-on battle, the best result will be that both sides will be injured. In the end, no one can do anything to each other. However, in this way, the main battlefield will be around the most prosperous southeast coast of the mainland. If the war occurs, the economy of these areas will be regressed for at least 20 years. The great loss is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Despite Cape Canaveral's tough counterattack, it is very likely that the US military will dare to attack civilian targets on a special basis. However, when they fight, how can major coastal cities be completely spared?
What makes Vice Chairman Liu even more worried is that if the East China Sea offshore oil fields and the South China Sea offshore oil fields have been built after finally building, if the sea and air defense capabilities are lost due to this war, these oil fields may become prey in the hands of others.
This is the blood of domestic industry. Not only can Vice Chairman Liu not bear the responsibility for this failure, but even the entire ruling team led by Chief No. 1 will probably become a sinner in history.
However, if Duke's test can be successful today, then the premise of solving the problem of most of the US military's military's military's military passing over the domestic market is equivalent to pulling out half of the US military's eyes and ears. This is of great military value and can increase the probability of the PLA's victory by at least 20%.
This made it very clear how Vice Chairman Liu could calm down. Now he was under such great pressure, not to mention the whole of China, even the whole world, he was in the top spot.
Qin Tairan was not very clear about these causes and effects. Judging from his position and the information he has now, he is still in the field of simple military equipment. If Duke's beam-energy electromagnetic transmitter can be improved and can freely destroy low-Earth orbit military satellites, for the PLA, it will add a mysterious space weapon, which can expand the use range of the PLA's weapons and equipment to space.
For future space battles, the thing Duke invented is obviously more concealed and effective than a one-time anti-satellite missile. In other words, in the future space war, we can use this killer weapon to gain an absolute advantage!
Therefore, the emergence of this new weapon has a completely epoch-making significance for the People's Liberation Army.
As the test time approaches, the atmosphere gradually becomes solidified in several places in mainland China. Even though he is as calm as Duke and blindly follows Qin Tairan, he can't help but hold his breath while the countdown of the chief test commander of Gemini Island, and even the rhythm of his heartbeat begins to beat with the countdown sound!
After a suffocating 30 seconds, with the latest information coming from the ground satellite monitoring station, the ground satellite system could no longer receive any signals from this test satellite! The command center of Gemini Island instantly burst into warm applause.
Chapter completed!
