Zhou Yang came to the missile model, then looked at the project leader Zhang Qiucheng and said: "Team Leader Zhang, I heard that you have made a breakthrough here, what is the specific situation?"
Zhang Qiucheng said immediately: "Director, we have completed the technical demonstration of radar-guided missiles and are now undergoing final verification. If there are no problems, we can conduct trial production of anti-tank missiles according to this new technology and conduct live-fire tests." Got it!"
Zhou Yang immediately smiled and said: "Okay, let me take a look at your plan!"
As we all know, anti-tank missiles are mainly composed of warheads, power units, missile guidance devices and missile bodies.
Among these parts, the power unit and the missile-mounted guidance device are the most important. After all, the main function of the power unit is to enable the missile to fly out, how fast and how far it flies, and the missile-mounted guidance device is to determine the missile to fly out. Can we accurately lock the target later?
Therefore, in the design of missiles, the power device and guidance device have the highest technical content and are also the most difficult to break through.
As for the warhead and missile body, the designs are similar all over the world, and there are not many highlights.
The design of the warhead and missile body of their new anti-tank missile has long been completed, and the power device has been determined. The only thing that has not yet been able to achieve a breakthrough is the guidance mode of the missile.
Zhang Qiucheng and others did not hesitate, and immediately borrowed the missile model to explain the design ideas of the new missile.
"Chief, our new solution abandons the infrared guidance mode that has been used before, and instead adopts the radar guidance principle you proposed not long ago. When the radar detects an enemy target, it can be switched to continuous tracking mode and Radar detection information generates target data to complete the basic detection tasks before missile launch."
Then Zhang Qiucheng continued: "Our new missile has a radar receiver at the head and tail. The radar receiver at the head is used to receive echo signals reflected from the target; the tail radar receiver is used to receive airborne radar signals. Integrating the head and tail signals allows the missile to fly to the target more accurately..."
While listening to Zhang Qiucheng's explanation, Zhou Yang nodded. Their design idea was right, especially for medium and long-range anti-tank missiles, radar guidance mode was the only way out.
You must know that there are many types of missile guidance methods, but there are two main types used to deal with moving air targets.
One is an infrared-guided missile used for medium and short-range combat, and the other is a radar-guided missile used for medium- and long-range interception.
Infrared missiles mainly use infrared detectors to capture and track the energy radiated by the target itself to achieve guidance. It is a very effective guidance method.
However, because the energy radiated by the target that the infrared detector can capture will attenuate seriously as the distance increases, infrared missiles cannot effectively contain opponents at medium and long distances.
The detection range of radar is much longer than that of infrared, so the task of medium and long-range interception falls on the shoulders of radar-guided missiles.
Through Zhang Qiucheng's explanation, Zhou Yang also had a clear understanding of their design plan. They designed a semi-active homing radar missile.
Semi-active homing radar missiles do not emit radar waves themselves and need to receive radar waves reflected back from the target illuminated by the airborne radar to find the target.
Its working principle is similar to Hijikata Rei's Devil Commander in the childhood cartoon "Four Wheel Brothers". When Hijikata Rei shines the laser flashlight on the target at the target, the Devil Commander will actively crash into the target and extend the metal needle to destroy the target. .
Because it does not need to install a radar transmitter inside the missile like an active-seeking radar missile, the cost is relatively low. This principle is widely used in air defense or air-to-air missiles.
Zhang Qiucheng spoke for a full two hours before it ended. Then all members of the project department, including him, looked at Zhou Yang with expectant eyes.
Zhou Yang did not disappoint everyone. He coughed slightly and then said: "So far, your design has no flaws. I am very satisfied!"
“Bah bang bang!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause in the research room!
After the applause subsided, Zhou Yang signaled everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Comrades, now we can only confirm that this plan is feasible, but whether it is feasible or not needs to be tested with live ammunition!"
"Team Leader Zhang, your next research direction is to trial-produce this new anti-tank missile. Try to get a few of them out before October, and then conduct live-fire test firings!"
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"
At this moment, Zhang Qiucheng suddenly said: "Chief, this radar guidance technology is of great significance to medium and long-range missiles. Can I share this technology with other people in our base?"
Zhou Yang did not hesitate and said immediately: "Of course!"
"Thank you, chief..."
Just as he was talking, there was suddenly a crisp knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Secretary Xu Chengfang walking in from outside.
Then, he walked up to Zhou Yang and whispered a few words.
Zhou Yang stood up immediately, and after a few brief explanations, he hurriedly left the research room...
.........
Back in the office, Zhou Yang immediately picked up the phone and said, "Hello, I'm Zhou Yang, who is this?"
"It's me, Lao Lu!"
"I guess it's you. Why did you remember to call me today?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Haha, I haven't contacted you for a while, so I just thought..."
Before Lu Zhengjun finished speaking, Zhou Yang said with a smile: "Stop...stop, I don't know you. You usually go to the Three Treasures Hall when you have nothing to do. How could you think of calling me if you have nothing to do!"
"I don't like hearing this anymore..."
"If you have something to say, I'm busy here!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, two things. The first is that there is a new situation with Lao Yan!"
"what's going on?"
"After entering August, the situation in the Middle East took a turn for the worse, and unrest occurred in many places, which seriously affected our investment in the region. Therefore, Lao Yan asked for instructions, should we sell off our assets in the Middle East?" Lu Zhengjun said.
"How much are our investments and total assets in the Middle East now?" Zhou Yang said.
"The total investment has reached US$280 million, and the total assets have exceeded US$700 million!"
Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "Of course, if the capital is withdrawn now, the price of these assets will be reduced. The actual price may not reach 700 million US dollars, but it will definitely be no problem to withdraw 600 million US dollars!"
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "I understand, what does it mean?"
"It's boring!"
"???"
Lu Zhengjun said again: "Some people think that we should divest, but most leaders want to listen to your opinion first. After all, you took the lead and insisted on investing in the Middle East, and judging from the current situation, the results are not bad!"
Zhou Yang thought for a moment, and then said: "What I mean is that we must not withdraw our capital!"
"What's the reason?"
"There are two reasons. The first is that the Middle East has always been in chaos, and this chaos will continue. If you want to invest and make money there, you must accept and get used to this chaos."
Then Zhou Yang continued: "The second reason is that the chaos in the Middle East may cause us some losses, but at the same time, it is also an opportunity for us!"
"what chance?"
“Of course it’s an opportunity to make a lot of money!”
Zhou Yang then explained: "The Middle East is the most important oil-producing area in the world, but due to the chaos, crude oil production and transportation channels will inevitably be affected. With the imbalance of supply and demand, oil prices will inevitably rise rapidly!"
"The projects we invest there are mainly oil fields, oil companies and other related industries. Once oil prices rise, these projects will naturally increase, and the rate of asset price increases may exceed the rate of crude oil!"
"If we withdraw now, we may only get five or six billion U.S. dollars, but if we persist for a year and a half, our assets may reach more than one billion, or even several billion U.S. dollars. So I want to give it a try. Come on, maybe a bicycle can really turn into a motorcycle!"
After hearing these two reasons from Zhou Yang, Lu Zhengjun on the other side of the phone immediately fell into deep thought, and both ends of the phone suddenly became quiet...
