Chapter 282 The World Needs to Re-Understand the Eastern Dragon
For aircraft carrier fleets equipped with the Aegis defense system, their radars can detect UFOs within range, especially fast-flying hypersonic missiles, which are the focus of monitoring. Even if the aircraft carrier is not locked by a missile, it will trigger an alarm on the defense system radar.

If it were on a real battlefield, facing this risk, the missile would definitely be intercepted immediately.

Of course, whether it can be stopped is another matter.

The western Pacific Ocean.

A fleet consisting of three Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is anchored on the outskirts of the high seas.

On the command ship, the person in charge, Benjamin, stood in front of the control console.

He is much more serious than before.

He wanted to see how advanced the missiles the other party announced for test-firing were.

"Report sir."

"The Aegis defense system has not detected anything additional at this time, but the enemy's aircraft carrier seems to be retreating."

At this time, when Benjamin heard the report from his subordinates, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face.

There was no worry on his face.

"It was just a meaningless show. They really thought that with just one missile, they could make our aircraft carrier formation leave on their own initiative."

"Aegis is the most advanced defense system in the world."

"Even if they develop hypersonic missiles, our defense system can intercept them."

"Also, pass on my order. After the enemy missile test is completed, the fleet will continue to advance and increase the pressure."

As the head of the fleet, Benjamin was naturally very clear about the performance and strength of the fleet.

Even if the enemy's missiles really wanted to attack the fleet, he had the confidence to intercept them all. Besides, hypersonic missiles did not exist in the world, so how could they happen to encounter them here?

In short, he was very confident about his mission this time.

He also knew something about the previous incident regarding gallium nitride radar technology, and he described him as a complete idiot.

If those congressmen exerted pressure directly as they are doing now, there would be no changes in the international semiconductor industry, and the market share and voice previously held would all be taken away by lithography factories, causing a huge blow to the entire industry.

Subordinates naturally would not question their superiors' orders and would answer directly to such orders.

"Yes, sir."

As time passed, Benjamin began to get impatient.

I don’t know whether this missile should be launched.

Almost as soon as this thought came into my mind, I heard a sudden urgent alarm in the control room.

At the same time, the subordinate also hurriedly reported:
"Sir."

"Radar detected a missile coming quickly!"

"speed……"

"The flight speed reached Mach 10!"

When he shouted the last sentence, one could hear the obvious fear and shock in his tone.

Obviously, no one expected that the missile would fly so fast.

Even Benjamin was shocked when he heard this. After all, this flying speed was definitely that of a hypersonic missile.

Just now he had vowed that it was impossible for the other party to be the first to develop a true hypersonic missile, but he was slapped in the face so quickly.

But he is the head of the fleet after all, and he certainly won't lose his composure because of an unexpected situation.

He quickly calmed himself down, and then he thought of something and said to the operator:

"Can our defense system intercept the missile?"

Under normal circumstances, anything equipped with a hypersonic missile can basically ignore the defense system, and the possibility of interception becomes very low. After all, the flying speed of the missile is too fast.

The operators were shocked when they heard what their superior said.

He quickly explained:
"Sir."

"It seems that we have no right to intercept this missile?"

They had already announced in advance that they would test-fire a new type of missile, and the missile target was not in the waters where their fleet was located. It would obviously be unjustifiable to actively intercept it.

Even the original simple creation of pressure can directly evolve into further violent conflict.

This is something the House does not want to see.

Benjamin was naturally clear about his mission. When he saw that he was reminded of such a thing by a subordinate, his face suddenly turned cold and he answered angrily.

"I'm asking you if our Aegis defense system can intercept it?"

The hypersonic missile is undoubtedly a powerful weapon, and now that they have the opportunity to witness the test launch up close, they must master the detailed data of the missile and must be able to successfully intercept it. Otherwise, a hypersonic missile that cannot be intercepted will definitely be a deadly threat if no one uses nuclear weapons.

Unfortunately, he did not hear the answer he wanted from his subordinates.

"I'm afraid not."

"The missile was moving too fast, and its flight path was changing in jumps."

"The most important thing is that this change is completely random, and our system has no way of predicting and calculating the missile's changing trajectory."

"I can't believe there is such a missile in the world."

“Whoever designed it is a genius!”

The operator was sweating profusely at this moment. He had never seen a missile randomly change its flight trajectory during rapid flight. This was completely beyond the familiar missile trajectory.

You must know that to intercept a missile, it is necessary to launch an anti-missile missile to attack the flying missile.

Such technology requires an accurate early warning system, a rapid locking and tracking system, and a sensitive fire control and strike system in one go to intercept missiles.

But now we can’t calculate the flight trajectory of the missile at all, so how can we intercept it?

All we can say is that this is a missile that cannot be intercepted.

No matter what its target is, it will eventually hit it after being launched.

Benjamin listened to all of this, and the expression on his face was quite solemn, and he even had a hint of fear and terror.

The confidence and assurance just now have long disappeared.

no way.

Anyone who learns of the horror of such a missile cannot help but imagine the consequences of facing it.

If the target of the missile today was their fleet, then it would inevitably result in sinking. It can be said that there is basically no suspense, after all, it was their fault for driving it to someone else's doorstep.

"It's just incredible."

"They actually already have such an advanced hypersonic missile!"

“The House must reconsider its next steps.”

Benjamin sat back in his chair somewhat dazed, repeating these words over and over again.

Although I still can't believe it at this moment, radar will not lie.

No wonder the other side rejected the proposal of sharing quantum communication technology so decisively and forcefully.

It turned out that they were not afraid of their fleet at all.

Although the launch mode of the Dongfeng hypersonic missile is to reach the atmosphere first and then strike in a water-skipping manner, the distance in this test launch was relatively limited and not too far, so it did not take long to successfully explode at the target location and complete a precise strike.

The shock wave caused did not cause any substantial damage to the fleet that Benjamin was responsible for.

However, it also shook violently and looked very embarrassed.

It is obvious that this test launch is a blatant warning. If the fleet continues to stay where it is and does not evacuate, it is uncertain what the next target will be.

Benjamin originally thought it would be an easy task, but he was shocked before he even sat down.

How dare I stay here any longer?

He didn't dare to gamble.

What's more, the other side now has the world's most advanced hypersonic missiles that cannot be intercepted. No matter who wants to take any measures, they must consider it carefully.

Unless you are really prepared to fight to the death.

After the sea level returned to calm, Benjamin thought things through and didn't dare to delay any further.

The evacuation order was immediately issued.

"All warships return immediately and leave this sea area."

……

……

With the successful test launch of the Dongfang hypersonic missile and the overseas fleet's disgraceful departure, the official media finally carried out comprehensive coverage under the great expectations of the majority of domestic netizens.

The video released not only showed the launch footage of the Dongfeng hypersonic missile.

There are also relevant horror data.

And finally the scene of the overseas fleet's voluntary withdrawal.

For netizens, before today, they had no idea that there was such an awesome person in their family.

When I saw the Dongfeng hypersonic missile, its sci-fi color, shape, and structure, as well as its flight speed and successful trajectory, my inner emotions suddenly fluctuated strongly. The pride and self-confidence in my bones also reached their peak at this moment.

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone who is online is talking about this matter right now.

Even when walking on the street or taking the subway or bus, you can hear people around you talking.

"I knew that Mr. Qian's ballistic theory was feasible. Thanks to our researchers for turning theory into reality."

"Fuck, this missile is so cool."

"This is the first time I've seen this type of missile. I thought it was alien technology."

"It can fly at a speed of up to Mach 10, and it uses Qian Lao's ballistic theory which is impossible to intercept. No wonder it can scare away the overseas fleets."

"This can already be called the world's number one missile. I've never heard of anyone having a hypersonic missile with this speed."

"Just ask who else!"

"I am so happy today. I believe that with such a national treasure in our hands, things like today will never happen again."

"Mr. Qian still left us a treasure."

"My mother asked me why I was kneeling on the bed playing with my phone. The moment of ejaculation was so shocking."

……

Today is destined to be a special day. With the official debut of the Dongfeng hypersonic missile, it not only caused an uproar on the Internet, but the world also needed to re-recognize the awakened Eastern dragon.

As for Xu Yuan, after the overseas fleet evacuated, he also received a call from Yue Jinwei.

I was the first to learn the news. "Thank you, Commander Yue."

At the monitoring point of the missile launch site, Xu Yuan hung up the phone and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Then he turned around and said to Zhu Xuejun and others:
"Just got the news that the overseas fleet has been completely evacuated after the missile test was successful."

"We succeeded."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone cheered and everyone felt a lot more relaxed.

After all, there was no original test launch mission. It was only because of the sudden incident with the overseas fleet that the Dongfeng hypersonic missile was temporarily launched.

If the missile is successfully launched, the other side still does not choose to evacuate.

Then this test launch would have lost its meaning.

Fortunately, the final result did not disappoint everyone.

The cheers from the crowd lasted about half a minute. As the missile test launch had ended and the relevant missile flight data had been collected, everyone began to organize the equipment.

Prepare to leave and return to the Institute of Rocket Technology.

At this time, Zhu Xuejun took the initiative to walk up to Xu Yuan, organized his words a little, and continued speaking very seriously.

"Xu Yuan."

"I would like to invite you to continue to participate in the optimization of the Dongfeng hypersonic missile."

“It still has room to grow.”

After today's successful test launch, the whole world will realize the power of hypersonic missiles and Qian Lao's ballistics. Although they will be shocked by this, they will also increase research and upgrades on missile interception systems.

Although Mr. Qian’s trajectory cannot theoretically be intercepted by the system.

But she certainly hopes that the missile will get better and better, and the research and development work will not be stopped as long as there is room for optimization.

After all, if you don't move forward, you will move backward.

The same is true for technology.

If you don't maintain your lead, you will be overtaken by others sooner or later.

After listening to Zhu Xuejun's invitation, Xu Yuan basically understood the other party's thoughts.

After all, this is Zhu Xuejun's style of doing things.

Since we have chosen to develop the most difficult Qian Lao ballistic hypersonic missile, we must do our best to achieve it and not lose our respect for science and technology because of temporary results.

The thought stayed here, and Xu Yuan naturally had no objection.

Immediately he agreed.

"Thank you, Academician Zhu. This is what I should do."

He had already participated in the design of the Dongfeng hypersonic missile and ballistic-related calculation tasks. Even if Zhu Xuejun had not said what he had just said, he would definitely not have left the subsequent optimization alone.

At this point, things have basically come to a successful conclusion.

However, the subsequent impact of the public test launch of the Dongfeng hypersonic missile will definitely not end soon.

And in fact this is exactly the case.

-

Just as Xu Yuan returned to the urban area of ​​Yanjing, while heated discussions were raging on the domestic Internet, a huge shock also occurred overseas.

Neither the major mainstream media nor the commentators who appeared expected that the situation would calm down so quickly.

And it ended with the overseas fleet's voluntary withdrawal.

Faced with this situation, a large number of reports about the Dongfeng hypersonic missile appeared on the Internet at once. Reuters, the New York Times, etc. even commented that this missile could evade interception by all anti-air and anti-missile systems in the world.

As for overseas users, only a few people expressed their shock under the relevant news videos.

Most of them simply don't want to believe it.

Even though the news clearly reported the scene of the aircraft carrier formation voluntarily withdrawing after the missile test was successful.

“It’s not important to be the first to have this missile, what’s important is to have it.”

“Are they copying technology from the future?”

"This is just bragging. Our air defense missiles can intercept it."

"I have never seen anything like changing the flight trajectory at hypersonic speeds. It's simply a miracle."

"The most advanced missiles in the world belong to us in Delhi."

"We have many aircraft carriers, but I think they have more hypersonic missiles."

"This must be fake. How could they be the first to possess such a powerful hypersonic missile? The fleet withdrew for other reasons."

"I am very glad that this missile is in the hands of real civilization!"

……

Compared with the outside world's discussion on the Dongfeng hypersonic missile, the most nervous part at the moment is undoubtedly the parliament.

As a member of parliament, Gwen publicly called for the sharing of quantum communication technology at a press conference.

And after being rejected, he sent a fleet to exert pressure.

This has created a lot of public opinion internationally.

If the goal can be successfully achieved and cooperation can be established smoothly to obtain quantum communication technology, then everyone will be happy and no one will say anything. But the key issue now is that the fleet's voluntary withdrawal in disgrace is a huge disgrace.

For this reason, Gwen immediately organized experts to conduct analysis as soon as he learned the news.

I want to know the true level of this superconducting sonic missile.

This is related to the House’s next actions and subsequent attitude towards China.

"You have all studied the data recorded by the radar. Now who can tell me about this hypersonic missile? I want to know if it is really impossible to intercept it?"

In the conference room, Gwen sat on a chair with an expressionless face, and asked several missile experts in front of her in a stern voice.

But deep down, he still couldn't believe that the other side could actually develop a real hypersonic missile.

After all, even they themselves couldn't master this technology.

However, ideals are beautiful, but reality is very cruel. The answers from the next few experts immediately dispelled his self-righteous thoughts.

"It's really shocking that they actually achieved this uncalculated trajectory."

As one of them started talking, the other experts no longer remained silent and began to analyze the hypersonic missile.

"From the radar data, the other side did not report the parameters of this new missile. The maximum flight speed reaches Mach 10. Even if you look around the world, you can't find a missile that can compare with it."

"The most amazing thing is the flight trajectory of the ballistic missile. It can change its trajectory randomly during flight, and no anti-air or anti-missile missile can predict or track it."

"It is truly a missile that cannot be intercepted, and we have not yet found a countermeasure."

"This missile is relatively low in cost and has very high potential for ground attack and anti-ship attacks. If the other side deploys it in large numbers, it will greatly weaken our aircraft carrier advantage."

After listening to the experts' words, Gwen's brows were completely furrowed.

He was indeed shocked by this Dongfeng hypersonic missile.

No wonder Benjamin chose to evacuate at the first opportunity and did not dare to stay where he was.

After all, if the other party really targets the aircraft carrier and launches several such hypersonic missiles again, they will have no ability to fight back on the western Pacific Ocean.

Last time, regarding the gallium nitride radar technology issue, he agreed with Northrop Grumman's proposal to create pressure in the semiconductor field.

Not only did it fail to produce any effect, but it also completely ruined the entire semiconductor industry.

They wanted to learn from their failure and thus resorted to forceful means to exert pressure, hoping to force the other party to compromise and agree to share technology.

But in the end, he hit a wall, which made the situation even more embarrassing.

With his mind working quickly, he looked at the experts in front of him again and asked questions.

“Can we develop the same hypersonic missile?”

As soon as these words came out.

Several experts looked at each other first, then shook their heads at the same time, and were unsure about the project.

The main thing is that the fastest flight speed of up to Mach 10 is not a big deal. With the experience of maintaining technological leadership for so many years, it may be possible to develop a hypersonic missile after research and experiments.

But Qian Lao’s trajectory, which cannot be intercepted, cannot be copied.

After all, when this theory was first proposed, it was criticized by missile experts all over the world.

It is generally believed that this kind of randomly changing flight trajectory is simply impossible to achieve.

They are completely blank in this area of ​​research and have no experience at all.

When Gwen asked this question, she basically guessed the answer the experts would give, but she still felt complicated when she actually saw it.

Once upon a time, whether in the field of aerospace or in the research and development and manufacturing of aircraft carriers, they always mastered the most advanced technology, and no one in the world could compare with their status and rights.

But now?

They are already lagging behind in many areas.

What exactly is the reason that leads to this situation?

I'm afraid no one can give an accurate answer.

However, what is certain now is that it is impossible to obtain quantum communication technology by creating pressure.

We must find another way.

The research on quantum mechanics is related to the future development of science and technology and must be planned in advance.

Moreover, the technological gap between the two sides is increasing. If they continue to develop in this way, they will be crushed by the other side in all aspects sooner or later. Since they cannot choose to tear their faces and fight head-on, they can only focus on researching advanced technologies such as quantum communication, computing, and artificial intelligence to ensure that these technologies can maintain their leading position.

"It seems that the path of technology sharing is not feasible, so the only option is to invite others to participate in research and development."

"I just don't believe that with so many countries working together, we can still fall behind in research in advanced fields."

At this moment, Gwen's mind was working quickly and she made a decision secretly.

He intends to invite member states with which he has good relations to join in the joint research of the world's advanced technologies. He does not believe that with so many forces gathered together, their progress will still be slower than that of the other side.

In the current situation, there is not much time for him to think.

After making the decision, he did not hesitate any longer and just got up and left without speaking to the missile experts.

We want to take concrete actions quickly and promote cooperation on multiple international projects as quickly as possible.
