Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Fang Yu smiled calmly, his eyes flashing with admiration and respect.

"Mr. Chen, we can achieve this thanks to Professor Qian's genius."

"He created two disruptive technologies: hypersonic flight technology and a completely new ballistic trajectory design, which we internally call the 'Chanson Ballistics'."

"It is the perfect combination of these two technologies that makes this missile a true strategic-level 'national defense weapon.'"

Qian Sen shook his head slightly and said modestly.

“It’s just a small step forward, standing on the shoulders of giants.”

Fang Yu invited General Chen to come to the display screen nearby, and a set of three-dimensional models and technical parameters immediately appeared on the screen.

"Let me briefly explain the concept of a hypersonic missile."

He clicked on the screen and brought up a simulation animation.

"Traditional intercontinental missiles, such as the Eagle Sauce's 'Minuteman' series, have a maximum flight speed of about Mach 7-15. Our missile, on the other hand, can maintain a stable cruising speed of over Mach 25 within the atmosphere."

"Mach 25?" General Chen said in surprise, "That's... nearly 9 kilometers per second? How is that possible?"

Qian Sen smiled and continued, "Theoretically, there's no upper limit to the Mach number."

"The difficulty lies in solving the two core problems brought about by high-speed flight: one is ultra-high temperature, and the other is stability. When an object flies at such a high speed, the temperature generated by friction with the air can reach over 3000 degrees Celsius, which is enough to melt most metals."

"At the same time, airflow instability can cause the aircraft to vibrate violently or even disintegrate."

Fang Yu added: “Traditional materials and designs simply cannot withstand such extreme conditions. So we developed a brand new composite ceramic material and a unique aerodynamic design.”

Qian Sen signaled Fang Yu to bring up another picture.

The screen showed a cross-section of the missile's front end, revealing a complex, multi-layered structure.

"This is a new thermal protection system we developed,"

Qian Sen explained.

"The outermost layer is a nano-scale silicon carbide composite material that can withstand temperatures exceeding 5000 degrees Celsius while maintaining structural integrity."

“The middle layer is a special thermal insulation material with a porous aerogel structure that has almost zero thermal conductivity. The innermost layer is a temperature regulation system that dissipates heat through liquid metal circulation.”

General Chen looked at these complex designs and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is simply a miracle of materials science."

“But thermal protection only solves half the problem,” Fang Yu continued. “The real technological breakthrough lies in the propulsion system.”

The screen switches to another image showing the missile's internal propulsion system.

It was an engine design that General Chen had never seen before.

"This is the pulse detonation engine we independently developed,"

Qian Sen introduced.

“Unlike traditional jet engines, it uses a controlled, continuous detonation wave to propel the vehicle. This engine is most efficient at very high speeds and does not rely on atmospheric oxygen, allowing it to operate continuously in near-space environments.”

Fang Yu added: "Simply put, this engine is about 300% more efficient than ordinary rocket engines at high speeds, while consuming only a quarter of the fuel."

“That’s why our missiles can fly at sustained high speeds around the globe, unconstrained by traditional fuel.”

General Chen nodded thoughtfully. "So this is the foundation of hypersonics—revolutionary materials science and propulsion technology?"

“But you also mentioned ‘Chanson Ballistics’. What is that?”

Qian Sen and Fang Yu exchanged a meaningful look.

Qian Sen walked over to another device and activated a holographic projection.

In the projection, the three-dimensional model of the earth slowly rotates, and a winding trajectory line starts from one point, circles the earth in an irregular way, and finally reaches another point.

"Traditional ballistic missiles follow a parabolic trajectory," Chanson explained. "They ascend into space before descending to their target. This trajectory is very predictable and gives defense systems ample time to react."

"And during the descent phase, the missile is in a passive state and cannot perform complex maneuvers."

Fang Yu went on to say, "But the Qiansen Ballistics has completely changed this paradigm."

"This new trajectory design allows the missile to fly in a wavy pattern in near-Earth space, where the atmosphere meets outer space."

"Wavy?" General Chen asked in confusion.

"Yes," Qian Sen said with a smile, "just like skipping stones on the water. The missile will periodically touch the upper atmosphere, use aerodynamic effects to change its trajectory, and then bounce back to near space. This 'hopping' flight has several revolutionary advantages."

Fang Yu clicked the controller, and the holographic projection began to play an animation demonstration.

"First, this irregular trajectory is almost unpredictable. Even if the enemy detects the missile, it is impossible to accurately calculate its flight path and final target."

"Secondly, the missile maintains power throughout its flight, allowing it to actively maneuver at any time to evade defense systems."

"More importantly, this trajectory allows the missile to hide itself by exploiting the curvature of the Earth. Radars may briefly pick it up as it 'hops' high in the sky," Chanson added.

"But as it 'dives' into the upper atmosphere, ground-based radars lose track of it because of the curvature of the Earth."

General Chen watched the demonstration, his eyes gleaming with amazement. "This... this is simply a genius design. But achieving such a complex trajectory requires such precise control!"

“Indeed,” Qian Sen nodded in agreement. “This is the biggest technical challenge. To achieve this trajectory, we developed a completely new guidance system.”

Fang Yu pulled up another technical chart: "Conventional missiles rely on inertial navigation and GPS positioning, but these systems have difficulty maintaining accuracy in high-speed, high-temperature environments."

"And our missiles are equipped with a revolutionary quantum navigation system."

"Quantum navigation?" General Chen seemed even more confused.

Qian Sen patiently explained: "Traditional navigation systems rely on measuring changes in motion, but quantum navigation uses changes in the spin state of atoms to achieve precise positioning."

“This system does not rely on external signals and works completely autonomously, with centimeter-level accuracy. More importantly, it is completely unaffected by electromagnetic interference and high-temperature environments.”

Fang Yu continued, "With this precise navigation system, coupled with advanced control algorithms, the missile can precisely control its flight angle and depth at the edge of the atmosphere, achieving the complex trajectory required for the 'Qiansen ballistic trajectory'..."
