Chapter 307 Incident

At this time, Chen Nian was still enjoying his holiday time. He did not know that the Chinese radar system would face the biggest test in decades.

But by chance, during the technical deduction process, he had already anticipated such risks, and had even started discussions with Chen Guo.

Walking on the beach of Wuzhizhou Island, Chen Nian casually kicked a conch he dug out and said to Chen Guo:

".So future wars must be wars dominated by electronic warfare."

"There have been several weapons that can be called dimensionality reduction strikes in human history, from the earliest stone tools, to later iron weapons, to heavy crossbows, to artillery, and then to nuclear bombs."

"Every time such a weapon appears, it will bring huge changes to the world structure."

"But with the proliferation of technology and checks and balances, the role of these weapons will gradually diminish."

"Now, even nuclear bombs, including nuclear bombs, have gradually reduced their initial power of 'dimensionality reduction strike'."

"All countries are eagerly looking for the next breakthrough point. In my opinion, this breakthrough point lies in radar and electronic systems."

Chen Guo was holding a coconut in her hand, wearing a floral shirt and a straw hat on her head.

This is in great contrast to his status as a top researcher and the standing leader of the Spark Group, but what he said undoubtedly showed his level.

"Yes, this is also the current judgment of most scholars in the military field."

"In fact, in electronic warfare, especially in the field of radar, competition between major powers has been going on for a long time."

"We used to call it the 'railgun race.'"

"In the beginning, radar only needs to emit the simplest electromagnetic waves, and then determine the target location based on the echoes."

"But the technology was too simple, and opponents quickly figured out how to deal with it."

"I just need to find an antenna, measure your electromagnetic wavelength, and then actively emit electromagnetic waves of the same wavelength in the direction of the radar. I can block the receiver with the signal and completely blind the radar."

"It's like..."

Chen Guo couldn't find a suitable metaphor for a while, so Chen Nian said for him:

"Thrown a flash."

"That's right! Or more appropriately, it should be continuous glare directed at the eyes."

"So to avoid this situation, radar technology is updated one at a time."

"First came radar with variable wavelengths, followed by pulse radars that regularly emitted high-frequency radar waves, then phased array radars that were stacked up by hundreds of small radars, and then the radars we use now that don't use phase shifters.

, purely digital synthesis digital array radar.”

"In the final analysis, these leaps in radar technology are all for the same goal: to avoid enemy identification and interference and enhance detection capabilities."

"Of course, most of the technical investment is still in the direction of anti-interference."

"Now your idea is to create a more advanced electronic warfare system that can jam all existing radars in the full frequency band. The technical difficulty involved will be even more difficult than continuing to develop a new generation of radars."

"However, if it can really be done, then in the field of electronic warfare, we are likely to occupy a relatively 'dominant' position for a long time."

Hearing his words, Chen Nian nodded slightly.

In fact, the so-called new electronic warfare system is not his personal idea.

In the previous life, the United States developed an ARES system named after the "God of War" Ares.

The power of this system is amazing. After identifying radar waves, it can directly inject a large amount of interference signals from the radar side lobes, causing radar misjudgments and inducing other enemy radars to turn on, thereby exposing the pulse characteristics of all radars and the location of the radar.

However, at the time when Chen Nian traveled through time, the United States had not yet used this system in actual combat.

It's not that the technology is not up to standard, it's that the technology is too far ahead of its time.

As early as 1982, they used the ALX-99 on the EF-18G to achieve comprehensive interference in Syria and mastered the position of the opponent's position in a very short period of time.

After the information was transmitted back to the E-2C early warning aircraft, hundreds of fighter jets took off carrying anti-radiation missiles. In just 6 minutes, all the radar positions that Syria had worked hard for decades were destroyed.

…

Now, with the support of the technology provided by Chen Nian, China's radar technology is progressing faster.

It should be said that it should be impossible to interfere with China's radar again.

What we have to do is find ways to interfere with others.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Nian said:

"Now that digital array radars are available and electronic jamming pods have been updated for two generations, the conditions for us to develop the next generation of electronic jamming equipment are mature."

"I suggest issuing a task to Institute 14 as soon as possible and asking them to start organizing the development of electronic jamming pods."

"We will strive to come up with a set of equipment that can meet the application needs within a few months."

"This will not only ensure technological leadership, but also allow us to have more available means for our overseas operations."

"clear."

Chen Guo nodded and replied:

"I'll make arrangements after I get back today. The 14th Institute has already accumulated technology, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Okay, then as soon as possible."

Chen Nian answered briefly, without any fluctuation in the expression on his face.

New electronic jamming equipment is only the first step. In fact, if you want to establish an absolute advantage in the field of electronic warfare, you must rely on intelligence.

Perhaps, the quantum computing project will also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

On the other side, Jiangnan Shipyard completed the outfitting work of the 055 ship at an unprecedented speed.

In just over two months, this 10,000-ton giant ship evolved from the "incomplete version" when it was first launched into a complete version.

All equipment has been installed, all electronic systems have been adjusted in place, the mooring test has been successfully passed, and the next step is to officially conduct sea trials.

On April 23, the Navy's Army Day, Type 055 officially sailed out of the port, preparing to begin a two-month sea trial.

The main engine was turned on for the first time, and the integrated power system was started smoothly. The Jiujiang ship, which had not yet received its ship number, cut through the waves and sailed forward.

In the bridge control room of the Jiujiang ship, Zhou Minghui stared closely at the display screen, fearing that an alarm message would pop up from somewhere.

However, what he worried about did not happen.

Reports came one after another, all of which were reports that the self-test was completed and everything was normal.

"The radar system power-on self-test is completed and everything is normal."

"The power system is normal."

"The weapon system is normal and the fire control radar is working normally."

"Fire self-inspection completed, normal."

"The communication is normal and the data link is normal."

After nearly two hours of self-checking, all systems were working normally, and Zhou Minghui finally felt relieved.

In fact, the past two months can be said to be the most stressful two months in his life.

He not only hopes that 055 can complete the outfitting as soon as possible and launch the sea trial as soon as possible, but he is also worried that going too fast will lead to work errors and omissions, which will affect the performance of the ship's first sea trial.

Therefore, he goes to the dock almost every day to have a look. Even if he doesn't know much about technology, he still wants to chat with Wen Xingdong to learn about the latest developments.

Now, he finally got on the ship and sailed to the sea.

Next, as long as all the sea trial subjects can be successfully completed, this Republic's maritime sword can be truly used on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to the engineer accompanying the team and asked:

"All self-checks have been completed. Are there any problems on your side?"

"no problem."

The engineer shook his head and replied:

"The system operates well, the engine works stably, and the data feedback from each module is normal."

"It should be said that the preparations for today's test subjects have been completed."

"The next step is to wait for notification. After the airspace is clear, we can start the radar work test."

Zhou Minghui nodded. As an experienced navy man who has gone through no less than five sea trials, large and small, he is actually very familiar with this sea trial process.

The reason why the radar test must be carried out after confirming the airspace clearance is ultimately to protect the 055 and prevent the leakage of its radar characteristics.

This preparation work generally does not take long. After all, the Jiujiang ship is still within China's territorial waters at this time. Basically, there will be no flying objects with no eyes that will break into the designated exercise area at this time and come into contact with it.

Navy brow.

As a result, he relaxed a little and quietly waited for instructions from his superiors.

However, things seem a little different today.

After waiting for a full twenty minutes, the notification that the airspace was cleared has not yet come.
To be continued...
