Chapter 253: Avoid Detours for More Than Ten Years

"Technical error, error."

Seeing Chen Chen's evasive expression, Lin Xiao could tell that something was going on just by using his toenails.

But now his attention was all on the Tathagata Palm, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"How long do you predict it will take for Tathagata Palm to become combat-ready?"

"About half a year." Chen Chen said concisely.

"So fast?"

Chen Chen's answer was somewhat unexpected to Lin Xiao.

Judging from the current situation, Tathagata Palm is still in the development stage of a conceptual weapon.

Even if tomorrow's launch is successful, a lot of time and data link adjustments will be needed afterwards.

The workhorse of an air defense system is the warhead.

But without the command system and detection system, no matter how powerful the warhead is, it will be useless.

Therefore, the success of the warhead does not mean the success of the system.

The six months that Chen Chen mentioned was too short a time frame, and it was not even possible to form a tacit understanding with the detection system.

"I don't deny that your thing can hit far, but you need something to hit it with."

"Yes, I have."

"No, when I say there is something, I mean the data connection with the detection system. What? Have you connected to our Thousand-Handed Guanyin?"

Lin Xiao thought that Chendun’s authority shouldn’t be that great, right?
Thousand-Armed Guanyin is currently the main command system.

Integrates ground radar stations, air force networks, satellites and naval detection.

Any weapon that requires guidance must be introduced into the system to be effective.

Lin Xiao had never heard of the news of Morning Breeze weapons being included.

Chen Chen waved his hand: "I don't have the authority to access it for now, but we have our own test version, which can be of some use."

"Beta version?"

"Yeah, to put it bluntly, it's a satellite. It can only be used for front-end guidance, and the accuracy is not high. If the equipment is put into service later, the precision guidance will still rely on the Thousand-Handed Guanyin system."

Finished speaking.

Lin Xiao looked at Chen Chen with doubt in his life.

After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

"Are you Morningwind so powerful now? Do you have your own satellite?"

"It's not all self-developed. Huawei has a commercial satellite company with good technology. We took it and used it."

Chen Chen felt a little emotional after he finished speaking.

No wonder people say that marrying a rich woman can help you avoid thirty years of detours.

In the past, Chen Chen thought that this sentence was about personal experience.

It was not until the old man asked Chen Chen to be in charge of Juguang Satellite that he realized that this sentence also applied to the future of the company.

Juguang Satellite has been in this industry for more than ten years and has accumulated its own set of technologies.

However, this business track is slow to generate profits and requires huge initial investments.

In the past few decades, they have been doing research and development in obscurity, so the noise is relatively small.

Until recently.

The seeds planted by our predecessors are slowly bearing fruit.

Chen Chen picked the fruits and saved himself from taking a detour for more than ten years.

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened the app operated by Juguang Satellite.

"Look, that's your thing."

“Commercial satellite.”

"It is mainly used for agricultural monitoring, land surveying and the like."

"Recently, we have also been exploring other profit models. For example, if you become a member, we can take a photo of you at a specific time and place."

Lin Xiao was completely confused after hearing this.

He had heard of Juguang Satellite, a leading remote sensing satellite company in China.

Due to the particularity of the industry, they are occasionally given military missions.

But what he didn't understand was what was the relationship between this company and Tathagata Palm?
"What do you mean, you use this thing for guidance? It's for photography, and it can't be used directly as a fire control radar."

"I know. Didn't we say that the Tathagata Palm only needs an approximate location?"

As Chen Chen spoke, he pulled up pictures from his phone.

"Look, this is a photo taken by the Giant Light Satellite on the 7th of last month."

"What are you filming?"

Lin Xiao only saw a patch of green in the picture, which seemed to be an aerial view of the mountains and forests.

“Forestry inspections are mainly used to detect agricultural disasters, such as pests and diseases, and damage caused by birds and animals.”

This is one of the main businesses of Juguang Satellite.

To safeguard agricultural production.

By using high-precision remote sensing satellites, we can perfectly grasp the local agricultural and forestry growth conditions.

If there is a large insect pest, such as locusts, or a bird or animal disaster, such as wild boars, customers who have subscribed to this service will be warned immediately.

After figuring this out, Lin Xiao couldn't help but make click of the tongue.

It's true that he deals with satellites frequently.

But his position determines his angle.

Lin Xiao had never thought that satellites could play such a huge role in the civilian field.

"You are so impressive, but you still haven't told me what the relationship is between this photo and the Tathagata Palm?"

Chen Chen spread out two fingers and enlarged the picture.

Others came over to take a closer look.

Don't tell me.

The accuracy and resolution of commercial satellite companies are no joke.

Even when zoomed to the maximum, the image quality is still clear and visible.

But Lin Xiao looked inside and out three times and couldn't see any clues.

“Isn’t it just clouds?”

"Take a closer look." Chen Chen handed the phone directly to Lin Xiao. "My eyes are almost bleeding from rubbing them."

"Then you should get a good pair of glasses." Chen Chen handed the phone to Xiao Bao who was standing beside him.

Young is good.

Xiao Bao saw the clue at a glance.

"Commander, there seems to be something in the clouds. Is this... an airplane?"

"Really? Let me see! Hey! It's true." Lin Xiao then realized it.

Liu Huanzhang also realized it later: "This layout... doesn't look like our plane."

Because of the obstruction of the clouds, Xiao Bao felt that the technical department was unfamiliar: "This fully dynamic horizontal tail looks so familiar."

"Hiss... It can't be the F22!" Although Lin Xiao was dizzy, he was experienced.

"No... Yeah! It's true."

After the commander's guidance, everyone immediately matched their positions.

The outline of the aircraft in the picture is exactly the same as the aerial view of the F22 they have.

Lin Xiao immediately turned his head and looked at Chen Chen: "Did you take a picture of the F22?"

"It was also discovered by chance that the main business of the giant light satellite is still agriculture."

"No, you are an agricultural satellite, why are you shooting F22 for fun?"

"Birds of prey, raptors, are they considered pests, right?"

"..."

Chen Chen was talking nonsense in a serious manner, and Lin Xiao couldn't do anything about it.

“Can you always take pictures?”

"We can always take photos accidentally. It's no big deal. The F22 low detectability refers to signals, not images. We can take photos of insect pests, so it's impossible not to see such a big thing."

"That's what I said..."

Lin Xiao also understood this truth.

Invisible means that it is invisible to radar, which is different from the naked eye.

But it would also be shocking if commercial satellites captured advanced military weapons.

If we can track it for a long time, combined with military detection technology, it will not be difficult to lock its location.

"Just this one?"

"There were many of them. We reported the data the day we found them and tracked them throughout the process."

Now Lin Xiao finally understood why Chen Chen dared to make an air defense weapon with a range of 2,000 kilometers.

Use satellites for front-end detection and use terminal guidance after confirming the approximate location.

Due to the special method of in-orbit strike, the signal characteristics of all stealth aircraft are infinitely amplified.

The so-called low-observable fighter jet immediately became an ordinary aircraft.

No wonder!
No wonder Chen Chen vowed that it would take only half a year to be equipped.

According to this logic, if the launch is successful tomorrow, we can go to work the day after tomorrow.

Before, Lin Xiao was only 70% excited, because he felt that no matter how powerful the Tathagata Palm was, it was just a conceptual weapon.

Good is good.

Who knows when this thing will be equipped.

By the time it is equipped, it may no longer be in the correct position, or it may even be in the box.

but now.

His excitement was approaching ninety-nine percent.

Because the Tathagata Palm can be used in his hands.

So now he is analyzing this equipment completely from a practical perspective.

"Where are the data on your projectile?"

"It's still quite large now, so it can only be launched from a vehicle."

Chen Chen understood Lin Xiao's intention immediately and skipped the middle stage, starting with the launch method.

Lin Xiao asked about the size.

I just want to know the adaptability of the missile.

Is it launched from a well or launched in the field?

Chen Chen gave him a reassurance: "Some places can still be streamlined, especially the bullet diameter. The minimum bullet diameter we designed is close to the maximum bullet diameter of the 055 vertical launch."

"Okay, okay! I just like your cleverness."

When other people play chess, they look ten steps ahead before they make one move, but when Chen Chen plays chess, he looks ahead until tomorrow's dinner time before he makes one move.

Because of the development of technology, in the early stages of missile-like weapon development, most of them only considered their own convenience and made them particularly large in size.

This means that after success, the company will have to find ways to shrink it so that it can fit on aircraft and destroyers.

Some projects cannot be adapted, so we have to start from scratch and develop naval and air force versions.

Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, it will also cause an imbalance in combat power between the military services.

The navy suffered particularly from this.

But Chen Chen is different, he has a strategic vision.

When the missile body was first being developed, a strict order was given that the 055's vertical launch system must be taken into consideration.

All problems were solved in one step.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile when he thought about it: "2000 kilometers of range, on 055, do you know what this means?"

Xiao Bao certainly knew: "It means that the aircraft carrier has an air defense range of 2,000 kilometers."

Modern warfare is all about battlefield perception.

The first target of Tathagata Palm is the enemy's early warning aircraft.

The first thing to do when boarding a large destroyer is to attack the early warning aircraft and blind the enemy's eyes first.

Enemy sight range becomes 0.
As for myself, it is equivalent to turning on the perspective cheat.

Increase your own sight range by 2000.

No one else can play.

Lin Xiao seems to be the chief officer of a war zone, but with this thing, he can become a continental governor.
