Chapter 169 First Test Shot



"Principal Su, don't worry, we will definitely study hard!"

Back then, a research institute job was a secure, life-saving position.

Their treatment was also among the highest of intellectuals.

Not only is the job stable, but housing is also included. If you're a key technical staff member, your child's schooling will be taken care of.

We'll take care of all your employment needs after you graduate from university.

If their employment contracts are terminated, it would be a devastating blow to any family.

"Having this attitude is good enough, what are you waiting for?"

The first test is at 4 PM today!

Su Lin glanced at the Little Genius watch on his wrist.

The original design institute staff immediately returned to their seats and pretended to start studying seriously.

"I told you, Dean Deng is a simpleton. He can't afford to offend anyone but Principal Su!"

"Who knew Principal Su had such good relations with the commanders of several military regions!"

"How could it not be good? Have you seen the news? The air defense missile systems of the Western Military Region were all designed by Lanxiang Military Industry."

Otherwise, those Indians would be cowering like monkeys right now!

"Stop talking and get back to your book. The test is this afternoon."

"I'd love to see it! I'm over 50 years old, and I haven't taken an exam in over 20 years."

well!!!"

Commander Tang looked at these research institute employees, who had been so pontificating at the research meeting just yesterday.

Various rebuttals to Su Lin's design,

Now he's as well-behaved as a student preparing for the college entrance exam, his thirst for knowledge is practically overflowing!

"Principal Su, your approach is quite effective, but now all the researchers are studying ideological work."

What about our research and development?

"Do you think I can expect the same engineers who developed the Dongfeng-3 series to develop the Dongfeng-21 series?"

"That's true!"

From the very beginning of the project, Su Lin was drawn to the experimental equipment at the China Missile Technology Research Institute.

There's also a research and development base where experts can participate in research and development work.

That involves conducting repetitive experimental work and data processing.

The real technological breakthroughs still rely on the experts from the research and development bases under Lanxiang Military Industry.

There are also various professors from Lanxiang University.

"Brigade Commander Wei, I'll trouble you to make arrangements for the other departments!"

"No problem, Principal Su!"

Accompanied by Brigade Commander Wei

Su Lin's team of experts quickly took over all departments of the Huaxia Missile Technology Research Institute.

The key is currently in Su Lin's hands, and the security team is led by Brigade Commander Wei.

The personnel appointment process has also been completed.

Dean Deng is just a figurehead, possessing only the title of dean.

The real power has already been completely seized by Su Lin.

After more than half a month of arduous research and development,

First, the team behind the WS-15 turbofan engine completed the development of the solid-fuel propulsion system for the Dongfeng-21 series missiles.

The first test firing will take place at noon.

Almost all the staff members came to the launch site.

"They actually developed it? A fuel-powered rocket with a range of 2,800 kilometers?"

"If it weren't mounted on a missile, wouldn't this already meet the standards for an aircraft propulsion system?"

"Theoretically, the research and development is complete, but for it to be truly accepted, we still need to see this test launch."

"If the test launch is successful, it at least proves that the Dongfeng-21 series is feasible!"

The experts on site, under the scorching sun,

Looking at the launch pad from afar.

This test will be conducted without a projectile, following the established procedures for test firing.

The brand-new solid-fuel propulsion system will carry the 14.7-ton missile body.

Conduct the experiment.

"2800 kilometers, that's almost to the Pacific Ocean, isn't it?"

The entire country of China, from east to west, has a maximum diameter of only about 5,000 kilometers.

Launched from the launch site, it travels 2,800 kilometers eastward, exceeding the land area.

"Report! Launch pad ready, fuel loaded!"

This launch operation will be personally directed by Dean Qian.

Su Lin, Commander Tang, and Commander Li supervised.

"Report the location of the target ship."

Currently located in the Pacific Ocean at 71°44′N 81°08′W

"Principal Su, aren't we being a bit too noisy?"

Commander Li sat down next to Su Lin and asked softly,

According to the latest news from Commander Yuan of the Eastern Military Region regarding the naval fleet

Currently, the USS Ivory Coast carrier strike group is located in the vicinity of this latitude and longitude in the Pacific Ocean.

To carry out daily training tasks,

Sulin deliberately positioned the target ship less than 20 nautical miles from the US carrier fleet.

The weather is fine today.

The target ship and the aircraft carrier, though far apart, can clearly see each other.

"Arrogant? My empty-warhead test is just me; I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to show off."

Doing scientific research requires humility and a down-to-earth approach!

Su Lin's actions weren't just meant to impress the Americans.

It was also meant to be shown to the wealthy patron, the "dog tycoon."

To witness this test launch, the wealthy dog ​​specially dispatched a fleet into the Pacific Ocean.

This was to test the precision strike mission.

"Conduct the final self-check!"

"The Dongfeng-21 series missile is currently undergoing its pre-launch self-test!"

Soldiers in the missile launch unit input analog signals to various systems of the missile.

A final digital check was performed.

"Report: Analog signal input complete, feedback is normal!"

"The post-point conditions have been met!"

"Target locked! Fire!!!"

With a loud bang,

Thick smoke billowed from the tail of the Dongfeng-21 series missiles, which were mounted upright on the launch vehicle.

The 11-meter-long projectile, propelled by a solid-fuel propellant,

Straight through the clouds,

"Report, altitude 400 meters!"

"Keep increasing the speed!"

"Report! Current altitude: 4000 meters!"

All the experts and engineers on site held up their binoculars.

All eyes were on the Dongfeng-21 series missile that was being test-fired.

"Altitude 8000 meters! Initiate turn control procedure!"

Two control devices on the missile body emitted thick white smoke.

Under the influence of reverse thrust, the Dongfeng-21 series missiles rapidly adjusted their attitude in the air.

The direction of vertical ascent was changed.

"Holy crap, is it a Skyrocket? It can even change the flight attitude of the missile during vertical ascent?"

"They didn't mention it when we held the research meeting!"

"We spend all our time studying Marxist principles, and we don't even qualify to participate in research and development."

Do you think Principal Su will reveal all the technical details?

"This flight path is so smooth, it feels like it's going to be a success!!!"
