Chapter 3321 Pooling Wisdom and Effort, I'll Cover the Losses
"It's blown up!"
"It's blown up!"
On the control tower, with Old Zhang's shout, a group of guys holding binoculars looked up.
In my field of vision, the missile loaded with blades finally exploded!
In the blur, a flash of light suddenly appeared, and then everything became unclear!
Yang Xiaotao shouted loudly, "Radar, can the radar detect it?"
"Take a look right away!"
Wang Minghai was also lying on the side watching the screen, looking anxious.
The blade is only about the size of a palm. With such a small object at such a distance, it would be very difficult for radar to detect it.
Fortunately, the radar had been tracking the aircraft the whole time, and it also detected the trajectory when the missile was launched.
Meanwhile, this time there weren't just one or two blades, but hundreds or thousands of them, and the resulting metal area actually reduced the difficulty of capturing them.
"Found it, located it, calculating it now."
The radar operator shouted solemnly. They all understood the significance of this experiment, and each of them had been staring wide-eyed at the radar screen.
As soon as the radar operator finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao, Wang Lao, Zhang Lao, and others rushed over.
Old Zhang's face was anxious. "How is it? How is it? What height is it? Can it be reached...?"
"Get out of the way, don't disturb our work!"
Yang Xiaotao reached out and pulled the curious Zhang Lao aside, making the surrounding staff members' eyelids twitch.
That's their boss.
Seeing that it was Yang Xiaotao, and since Old Zhang didn't seem to mind, they didn't dare to reveal their thoughts.
Yang Xiaotao stepped aside and pulled Qian Lao to his side, his eyes fixed on the radar screen.
A group of people surrounded him, making the radar operator a little nervous. Fortunately, Wang Minghai came to his rescue, explaining, "We haven't had time to replace the radar we're using yet, so its resolution is only twenty meters..."
Why not get a new one?
Mr. Peng suddenly spoke, his face full of displeasure.
This was an opportunity the pilots risked their lives for; even a meter short would have meant missing it.
If the radar makes a mistake in its judgment, who will take responsibility?
Wang Minghai hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Upon hearing this, Old Zhang raised an eyebrow and exclaimed, "President Peng, this isn't our fault!"
"The new radar, working in conjunction with the Jiaoyang-75 computer, has produced several units, all of which have been given to the Southeast region, especially Han Xuanfeng, who received two at once. We, the people of Beijing, haven't even gotten a chance yet..."
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Yang Xiaotao, who simply kept looking at the radar screen without turning his head.
As long as we don't click, I'm not the one who's embarrassed.
General Peng also glanced at Yang Xiaotao. He had also heard about the new radar. The new radar developed by the 14th Research Institute in Jinling was either given to the Southeast or sent to the Northwest.
As for the tasks that were handed over, they were all sent to the Northeast!
It's certain that Old Zhang has complaints.
"Alright, the next one is for you!"
When Mr. Peng said something, Mr. Zhang immediately beamed with joy.
After Wang Minghai finished his explanation, the radar operator finally got the result.
"Report. Radar has detected the target at approximately 40,080 meters!"
As soon as the radar operator finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A shout immediately came from behind.
But then, the shouts weakened considerably!
Thinking about the radar's resolution, I gradually became more undecided.
That's barely passing.
What if that balloon is taller than 40,000?
And whether it will even hit the target is another matter!
The scene was completely silent.
Papapa
Suddenly, applause rang out, and everyone looked to see that it was President Peng clapping.
The next moment, Yang Xiaotao also started clapping.
Soon, the entire command center was filled with applause.
"Comrades have worked hard!"
Peng said forcefully, "No matter what, this is a good start, and reaching an altitude of 40,000 meters is a huge step forward in itself!"
"If we can achieve this, then our efforts will have paid off!"
Everyone was excited when they heard what Boss Peng said; their efforts had not been in vain.
General Peng looked at everyone and then said again, "Comrades, we have taken the first step of the Long March!"
"But the Long March is not over yet, which means we have not succeeded."
"It means we still have a long way to go!"
"Try your best to find a way to shoot that balloon down; that's the only way to achieve a complete victory!"
Papapa
The crowd applauded again, and then they heard a whooshing sound in the sky as Huo Sheng and his companion began to land the plane.
There was another flurry of activity on site before the plane finally landed safely.
When Yang Xiaotao and the others saw Huo Sheng and Xiao Si again, the two had already returned to normal.
However, the medical staff on the side continued to conduct physical examinations.
"General Manager Yang, Boss!"
"How did it go? Did you complete the mission...?"
Huo Sheng asked anxiously, and Yang Xiaotao patted him on the shoulder, "40,080 meters!"
Huo Sheng looked delighted, but his expression quickly turned serious.
According to the plan, they were to launch the missile at a distance of 31,000 to 33,000 meters, and then the missile would fly a certain distance before exploding and spitting out the blades!
But in the end, they flew to 34,000 meters before reaching an altitude of 40,000 meters.
Thinking of this, the two felt a heavy weight in their hearts!
"Don't overthink it, get some rest. We'll need you to continue the fight!"
Yang Xiaotao comforted them from the side, and the two nodded before being carried away on stretchers by medical staff.
After watching the two leave, Yang Xiaotao went straight back to the aviation building, went to the prepared conference room, and immediately started a meeting.
Mr. Peng had already left early due to his busy work schedule, and Mr. Chen followed him.
In the conference room, Yang Xiaotao took over the reins and began to chair the meeting.
His gaze swept over everyone, and without any formalities, he asked directly, "The experimental data should all be out by now. Tell me, what problems are there, what areas can be improved, and how should they be improved!"
"We don't have much time left!"
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
"Let me say it first!"
Director Yan Zhiguo of the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry spoke first, "Let me talk about the blade missile!"
"Here, on behalf of my comrades from the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry, I would like to offer a self-criticism!"
"According to the plan, our missile was supposed to fly to an altitude of over 8,000 meters, but this test launch only reached 6,000 meters, which is far from our target!"
After Yan Zhiguo finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao immediately asked, "What's the reason for the problem?"
Yan Zhiguo immediately said, "There must be a problem with the fuel calculation!"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Qian Lao after hearing this, as the calculation data was derived by Qian Lao.
Old Qian nodded, "There must be too much fuel!"
"Too much?"
Everyone was taken aback, and then Qian Lao explained, "Excessive fuel leads to an increase in mass, and if it cannot be consumed quickly, the weight of the missile will seriously affect its speed."
"Let me calculate it again; I should have the result soon!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, and Yan Zhiguo nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Wang Xuebin stood up and said, "There's also the issue of the timing of the explosion."
"This experiment fully demonstrates that the angle of the missile at launch and at the moment of detonation is very important!"
"If you don't get the angle right, even if you reach the correct altitude, you won't be able to hit the target accurately..."
When Wang Xuebin voiced his concerns, the meeting room immediately fell silent.
How do we solve the problem?
Yang Xiaotao didn't give everyone much to think about and went straight to Wang Xuebin to ask.
Wang Xuebin took a deep breath. "The shooting angle problem is easy to solve!"
"We can standardize the production process and then design a reference table for calibration using a gyro-level!"
"it is good!"
Yang Xiaotao immediately agreed, saying that it was good to have a solution. However, Wang Xuebin hadn't finished speaking, "Mr. Yang, to create this table, we need experimental data, and ideally, we'd like aircraft to assist us!"
Yang Xiaotao looked directly at Old Zhang after hearing this.
Old Zhang took a deep breath. "Don't worry, as long as there are planes and missiles, our pilots will cooperate fully!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked at Wang Xuebin, "I'll give you two days to make this table."
"The balloon will arrive in two days, and then we can test the results!"
"understand!"
Wang Xuebin felt immense pressure, but this was not the time to refuse.
"And when will the explosion take place?"
Yang Xiaotao asked again!
Wang Xuebin's expression grew even more serious. "President Yang, this requires the cooperation of ground radar to transmit data in real time and coordinate with the airborne radar!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao looked at Wang Minghai standing to the side.
"What did the radar side say?"
Wang Minghai stood up and said, "The radar we use now is different from the one used in the Northwest."
"Moreover, we cannot conduct actual combat drills; we can only continuously improve and gain experience in battle!"
Yang Xiaotao crossed his arms. "The problem is, we don't have that much time for you to cooperate right now!"
"How long does it take from the moment a missile is launched from an airplane to the moment it explodes and blasts the blades out?"
"About three to five seconds!"
Wang Xuebin added, "That's true for current missiles, but newly designed missiles might have an even shorter time!"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Wang Minghai, "Three seconds, can you lock it down?"
Cold sweat broke out on Wang Minghai's forehead. In just a few seconds, they needed to pinpoint the balloon's speed and altitude, and calculate the exact moment of explosion...
Too fast, too difficult...
"The reaction time is a bit too short!"
Wang Minghai said somewhat uncertainly.
"so what?"
Yang Xiaotao asked for a solution directly!
Wang Minghai gritted his teeth and said, "Therefore, it's best to use the best radar and preferably an early warning aircraft for airborne guidance, so as to reduce the chance of mistakes!"
"An early warning aircraft?"
Yang Xiaotao turned to look at Old Zhang, "Has this been made yet?"
Old Zhang shook his head, "I don't think so!"
"I'll call the logistics department!"
After saying that, he immediately ran to the side and picked up the phone.
Yang Xiaotao looked at Wu Zhe and the others again.
"Where's the plane? How's the inspection going?"
Wu Zhe and Wang Xushan stood up together, their faces solemn.
Wu Zhe spoke first, "Based on the current inspection results, the most serious malfunction on the aircraft comes from the engine!"
"Because the engine's power was excessively exploited, the compressor was severely damaged and is basically unusable."
Wang Xushan added, "The combustion chamber isn't very good either!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded again, "Can you determine the extreme distance?"
The two looked at each other, and finally Wu Zhe spoke up, "The current 34,000 meters has already caused irreversible damage. If it goes any higher, it can only go up to 35,000 meters at most. If it goes any higher, the engine will not be able to withstand it, and there may even be an accident that results in the destruction of the aircraft and loss of life."
Thirty-five thousand!
Yang Xiaotao patted his arm, then asked, "What if we replace it with a new engine?"
Wu Zhe shook his head, "President Yang, we're calculating based on the new engine!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Understood!"
"In that case, you should follow Director Yan's lead and modify the aircraft as soon as possible."
"At the very least, we need to have three spare planes!"
Wu Zhe and the other person nodded, "Understood!"
After saying this, Old Zhang quickly came over, looked at everyone and shook his head in unison, "Old Qin is a damn good-for-nothing."
"It's been going on for so long, and it's still just an airplane frame!"
"Damn it, he's getting worse as he gets older!"
Yang Xiaotao was not disappointed, because the airborne radar had only been delivered to the logistics department not long ago, so it was impossible for it to be ready so quickly.
Then his gaze returned to Wang Minghai, "Forget about early warning aircraft, you'll have to think of something else!"
Wang Minghai gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
"We'll handle it ourselves!"
Yang Xiaotao's gaze swept over the crowd again, "Comrades!"
After a pause, Yang Xiaotao slowly spoke, "Just before we came here, those guys from the alliance said that if they couldn't do it, we certainly couldn't either."
"what is this?"
"This is looking down on us, this is a sense of superiority that comes from the bone, an innate feeling that we are inferior to them?"
Yang Xiaotao spoke loudly, and his fingers were tapping the table loudly.
"Go to hell!"
Who is more noble than whom?
"They simply avoided some detours and entered the Industrial Revolution earlier than us!"
"If we go back a thousand years, they were all a bunch of savages. What's there to be proud of?"
Many of the people who heard this smiled.
But Yang Xiaotao continued, "That's what they say, that's how they look down on us!"
"So, they openly said they wanted to track the balloon over our heads, and that they would destroy it once it reached the Pacific Ocean and came down!"
"They even said they wanted them to destroy it themselves!"
"Everyone looks down on us!"
"Comrades!"
Yang Xiaotao slammed his fist on the table again. "This is blatant disdain!"
"What should I do? Tell me what to do?"
Wang Minghai suddenly stood up, "If you dare to come in, then fucking take it down!"
"Take it down!"
The rough, powerful voices converged into a fierce river; at this moment, everyone worked together with one heart and one mind!
Only after the sound stopped did Yang Xiaotao continue, "Everything that needed to be said has been made clear!"
"Next, what should we do?"
"Two days. In two days we'll go to the Northwest, to fight for real!"
"I hope we can return with a full load!"
Everyone's eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
As everyone left and began their work, only Yang Xiaotao, Old Wang, and Old Zhang remained in the conference room.
Old Wang glanced at Yang Xiaotao and asked in a low voice, "To put it bluntly, what if we fail after doing all this?"
Old Zhang also looked at Yang Xiaotao, his eyes showing some nervousness.
To everyone's surprise, Yang Xiaotao just smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone has put in a lot of effort, so I can't just sit idly by!"
He got up and walked out, saying, "Leave this responsibility to me!"
After speaking, the person walked out of the conference room.
Behind them, the two men's expressions hardened, and they exchanged a glance, thinking of the alliance's proposal.
Old Wang took a deep breath and said resolutely, "Old Zhang, this decision can't be made by him alone!"
Old Zhang stood up and nodded, then shook his head, "You're wrong, this decision has to be made by me!"
Old Wang stared at Old Zhang for a while, then suddenly laughed, "It's us!"
Old Zhang then laughed and said, "I'll treat you to a drink!"
"Right on my mind!"
After saying that, the two walked out arm in arm.
The two thought Yang Xiaotao's backup plan was the same as the alliance's, snatching teeth from a tiger's mouth!
But Yang Xiaotao only had one backup plan from beginning to end.
That's Xiao Wei!
