Chapter 48
Intercontinental missiles.
Currently, among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, only the United States and Russia possess intercontinental missiles.
The current international situation is complex and severe, so after Zhou Zhengguo discussed with relevant departments, leaders, etc., the Rabbit also decided to develop intercontinental missiles.
But he never expected that Su Chu would actually build an intercontinental missile!
This really shocked Zhou Zhengguo.
You know.
More than half a year ago, when Zhou Zhengguo and Su Chu met to discuss the relevant matters of the Comprehensive Research Institute, Su Chu did not mention the relevant research on intercontinental missiles.
Unexpectedly, only more than half a year has passed, and Su Chu has developed an intercontinental missile?
It has completely refreshed Zhou Zhengguo’s cognition.
Su Chu heard Zhou Zhengguo’s shock and nodded repeatedly:”Well……Minister Zhou, the intercontinental missile we developed was indeed a success!”
Zhou Zhengguo came back to his senses from the shock and said,”Su Chu, are you kidding? Intercontinental missiles are the most powerful weapons of a great country!”
“Minister, I’m not kidding!” Su Chu said seriously:”Just a few days ago, we conducted a related test launch, and the final results showed that the maximum range of our intercontinental missiles reached about 15,000 kilometers!”
“The comprehensive performance in all aspects is in the world’s leading position. In recent days, we have been sorting out the relevant data and performance of the Dongfeng 41 intercontinental missile and are preparing to report to your Ministry of Military Industry!”
The test launch was successful?
And the comprehensive performance is still the world’s leading?
Every result surprised Zhou Zhengguo.
This Su Chu’s first move was a king bomb!
Zhou Zhengguo:”This……Su Chu, when did you start developing intercontinental missiles? You succeeded so quickly?”
Su Chu:”The whole development process took only about seven months, because of the strong support of the Fifth Institute, plus our advantages and conditions in the missile industry. As long as the relevant technical problems are solved, it is not a big problem to develop a world-leading intercontinental missile!”
Zhou Zhengguo was shocked again, and finally saw how powerful Su Chu was.
This is definitely a rare talent.
Such a high-end missile technology as the intercontinental missile can be successfully developed in such a short time, which is simply refreshing cognition.
After all, it took the Eagle Sauce and the Russian Bear three to five years to develop intercontinental missiles.
Su Chu only took seven months?
Too amazing!
Zhou Zhengguo came back to his senses from the shock again and said:”Su Chu, what is this intercontinental missile called? Is it really the world’s leading intercontinental missile? Can it threaten the Eagle Sauce homeland?”
Su Chu replied:”Minister, this intercontinental missile is named Dongfeng 41 missile. It is 21 meters long and 2.25 meters in diameter. It uses a three-stage solid fuel propulsion system and has three launch platforms: road, rail and fixed well. It can carry up to 10 300,000-ton or one 3 million-ton equivalent nuclear warhead.”
“Its speed can reach Mach 25 and its range is more than 15,000 kilometers. It is one of the missiles with the longest range and fastest speed in the world…….Theoretically, Dongfeng-41 can reach any corner of the world within half an hour.”
“At the same time, the Dongfeng 41 missile can strike with precision, with an error control within 200 meters, and it is almost impossible to intercept…….The missile has introduced a number of advanced technologies, including the Qian Xuesen trajectory, independently targetable reentry vehicle, decoy warhead, and warhead re-ignition technology, which greatly enhances its ability to evade interception.”
“I dare say that there is no existing anti-missile system that can 100% intercept the Dongfeng 41 missile, the most powerful intercontinental missile in the world.”
Su Chu’s words sounded a bit conceited, but it was true.
The trajectory of the Qian Xuesen missile is extremely difficult to predict. Once launched, its precise flight trajectory is almost impossible for the enemy to grasp…….The MIRV technology allows each warhead to independently hit different targets, while the warhead re-ignition technology can adjust the trajectory during flight, increasing the complexity of interception.
Currently in 1994, only the Russians and the United States have intercontinental missiles.
Although the United States'”Minuteman” intercontinental missile is technologically mature, it is still slightly inferior to the Dongfeng 41 missile in terms of range, speed, and maneuverability.
Although the Russians'”Sarmat” missile has a longer range and stronger firepower, it is still slightly inferior to the Dongfeng 41 missile in terms of range, speed, and maneuverability…….
However, in terms of accuracy and maneuverability, due to its overweight and fixed launch mode limitations, it is still inferior to the Dongfeng-41 missile.
In summary, China’s Dongfeng-41 intercontinental missile is not inferior to similar intercontinental missile products of the Russian Bear and the Eagle Sauce in many dimensions, and can be said to be one of the most powerful intercontinental missiles in the world today.
After listening to Su Chu’s introduction, Zhou Zhengguo said excitedly:”It’s great!……This is really great…….With the Dongfeng 41 missile, our basic situation is stable. We can effectively deter the Eagle Sauce’s homeland, and the Eagle Sauce will also have some concerns!”
“Su Chu, you really gave us a big surprise!”
Su Chu smiled and said:”This is my job!”
Zhou Zhengguo said with admiration:”Su Chu, with talents like you, our military industry will rise much faster!”
“By the way, Su Chu, I have good news for you. The first phase of the project of the comprehensive research institute you proposed has been basically completed, and the final finishing work is in progress. Now we are arranging for the relevant laboratories and equipment to enter the site. At most one and a half months, the comprehensive research institute can be put into preliminary use!”
