Chapter 661 Core!
"I won't say much more in terms of encouragement. You are all revolutionary fighters who have been tempered into steel. Based on the above plan, let me tell you about the scenario I dream of!"
Jiang Xia paused for a moment, then looked out the window.
The morning mist outside the window had just dissipated, and the first rays of sunlight were peeking out from the gaps in the clouds, sweeping obliquely across the snow-covered playground—the compacted snow reflected the light, like a layer of crushed rubies.
"It really is a sight to behold, a scene of 'red attire and white attire'... I really don't know where some people got their 'silver attire' from..."
Jiang Xia muttered a few words while looking down.
"What?" Secretary Liu, whose hearing was usually quite good, frowned. Who would misremember this poem? Secretary Liu secretly noted down the names of the people Jiang Xia mentioned in her notebook.
"It's nothing..." Jiang Xia waved his hand, stepped into the microphone, and prepared to describe the relevant scene to his comrades again.
These dry words are naturally not as vivid as the imagery. Teacher Jiang's storytelling session is about to begin again!
"An enemy plane made a low-altitude incursion! It had only flown a dozen kilometers outside the border!"
"Tsk...this kid is using the Air Force as an example again..." A muffled complaint came from the microphone, followed by the rustling sound of fabric rubbing together, as if someone had elbowed him and he had been "suppressed".
Jiang Xia pretended not to hear and continued, "Our routine patrol 'KJ-1' locked onto it instantly! The radar spun rapidly, and the Doppler beam, like a cast net, caught the enemy plane trying to hide behind the ridgeline!"
He drew an arc in the air with his hand, as if radar waves were spreading in front of him. "Then, the digital signal was transmitted back to the command center in a flash! The encrypted radio wave took a detour along the ionosphere, three times faster than the enemy aircraft, and 'snap' into the command center's display screen."
The dot circled in red is still jumping, and the aircraft type, altitude, and estimated flight path have automatically popped up next to it!
"The computer completes the assessment, and the commander issues the order: Target confirmed! Threat assessed! The nearest airport, XX, has been automatically selected for the J-6 fighter jet on duty! Optimal interception route generated! Even the climb angle has been calculated perfectly!"
"Once the pilot was seated in the fighter jet, the guidance commands had already climbed up the cable to the instrument panel. A simple digital display in the pilot's cockpit lit up: Heading XXX, Altitude XXX, Afterburner Climb! Attack automatically upon target acquisition!"
"From the moment the enemy aircraft is spotted to the moment the fighter jets receive the order to take off, it may only take a few minutes! The enemy aircraft hasn't even flown into the designated reconnaissance area, no, it hasn't even entered our airspace! Our fighter jets are already rushing towards it! It's not facing a 'blind' divine sword, but a 'sky net' that can see it, predict it, and command the pack of wolves to precisely tear it apart!"
"The same applies to the navy! After all, ships can't run as fast as airplanes! We even have a certain ability to retaliate against enemy missile attacks!"
"Comrades! This is the future! This is the true meaning of 'sharpening our eyes'! It's not just about eyes, but about giving the entire air defense system intelligence and speed! We don't need to build a Mach 2.5 'Divine Sword' now to be 'blind'; we need to build this 'sky net' first! With this net, the existing J-6 can unleash combat power far exceeding its paper performance! When conditions are ripe in the future, and we have better fighter jets, such as those that thoroughly understand the MiG-21's successor, this net will lift it higher, farther, and more lethally!"
“And our gunboats, no matter how high the radar on the mast is, can't see more than 40 kilometers above the sea level,” he gestured with his hand, “but if we get the signal from the 'Airborne Early Warning and Control System No. 1,' it's like looking at a school of fish from the clouds. We can count the number of gun barrels as soon as the enemy ships leave port.”
While their missiles were still being loaded onto the launch pads, our warships had already rushed over in the direction indicated by the data link—why bother with a battle of giant ships? We could just throw out the 'sea snails' dozens of kilometers away and be home ready for a hot bowl of porridge! To appease the navy comrade, Jiang Xia specifically singled him out for a mention. Jiang Xia nodded in satisfaction: "I'm so thoughtful..."
However, realizing the navy's ambitions won't be so easy. After all, the Earth is round, and its curvature limits the detection range of sea-level targets to generally less than 40 kilometers. However, raising the antenna height is one method to overcome this limitation.
For example, a radar installed at a height of 20 meters can detect a target at a height of 50 meters at a distance of about 47 kilometers... Therefore, during that period, the bridges of warships were generally built quite high.
Just like the famous "Long Beach nuclear-powered cruiser", its antenna mast reached 46 meters. However, because of this, it was able to achieve the record of shooting down MiG-17s twice at a distance of 100 kilometers when it attacked Kochi, thanks to its ultra-long-range detection capabilities.
The Russian Kirov-class cruisers are even more impressive. The Kalinin, foremast, boasts a massive 62-meter-high antenna mast, making it one of the tallest superstructures on any active warship in the world. It is also the only class of cruisers in the world with a displacement exceeding 20,000 tons and powered by nuclear energy. It carries over 400 missiles, hence the name "arsenal ship."
Of course, these are all too far in the future, and there's no point in talking about them.
Once the described "digitalized regional joint defense system" is established, the methods of attack can be improved as needed.
With this system as a foundation, it doesn't matter if those "military industry fanatics" come up with wild ideas again, as long as they can be accepted by the system.
It's like building a house; as long as the foundation is solid, the superstructure won't be too far off-center, even if it's tilted. Well, intentionally tilting it doesn't count...
With the Dongfeng-113 example as a precedent, it seems quite difficult for those with malicious intentions, or those who are limited in their understanding and unable to see the direction of development, to try to sway things. And let's not forget that Xiao Dai Mao also has a new organization under his control—the Standards and Specifications Association—which occupies a beautiful building all to itself.
Those young people are all single-minded; who knows what they might do when they're bored and have nothing else to do?
Of course, whether this project can be cancelled depends on the organization's decision. Jiang Xia didn't expect that after his impassioned speech, the bigwigs opposite him would immediately agree to terminate the research; that would be too frivolous.
Therefore, Jiangxia plans to further enhance everyone's understanding of "digital defense".
With a wave of his hand, Old Wang eagerly presented Jiang Xia with the latest research materials from his senior brother from Yunnan and Guizhou.
"All of this is not a dream, nor is it mere fantasy. The evidence is right here—"
Jiang Xia excitedly waved the document in his hand into the microphone, as if the person on the other end could see it.
"Taking it a step further, future computers may only be the size of a suitcase, making it easy to carry on the 'KJ-1' airborne early warning and control system, and even more convenient to fit into a command vehicle!"
"It's not impossible that it could be stuffed inside a missile as its 'brain'!"
Before the words were even finished, a long beeping sound came from the microphone...
"Huh? No way? Can't I say this?" Jiang Xia's face instantly scrunched up like a bun, the manuscript in her hand trembling with anger. "Damn it, this is a bonus point! Who's going to pull the plug on me?"
"No way! The brigade commander held a conference call and specified that personnel scouting has already been conducted! It's a crucial moment; the 'home front' will only reiterate the confidentiality principle to the participants, they won't interrupt such an important meeting!" Secretary Liu shook his head, and then both of their gazes turned to Old Wang:
"Oh...did your dad's switchboard explode...?"
Old Wang covered his face and rushed out of the conference room, shouting, "Don't move around, I'm going to check the situation!"
Jiang Xia and Secretary Liu both pouted.
"It's alright, I believe the comrades in the postal and telecommunications department will fix the problem quickly. This conference call will continue. Why don't you organize your thoughts again? So we can launch a powerful attack later!" Secretary Liu showed Jiang Xia his notebook. "You haven't mentioned a lot of data here yet! For these kinds of professional meetings, you still need to submit materials..."
"Okay!" Jiang Xia nodded and called on the people in the conference room to help think about how to write this document.
Before they could even finish discussing the matter, Old Wang appeared before them with a pale face.
"Oh no! Oh no!"
"What? Your dad's switch really exploded? That shouldn't be the case, I made the redundancy of that space division switch quite large, didn't I?"
Jiang Xia tossed a white cigarette to Old Wang.
The cigarette hit Old Wang and rolled down his clothes.
"No! It's a nuclear issue! An emergency has occurred at the front! All communication bandwidth has been diverted there!"
"What!"
