In order to prepare for the next day's meeting, Pan Yunsheng, Li Cunxun and Liu Xiaobin spent three nights.

Japan's successful test-firing of the X-11 ballistic missile has become a direct driving force for the Republic to speed up the progress of building a national strategic defense system.

After the meeting began, Zhao Rundong first asked Pang Xinglong's opinion.

Unlike in the past, Pang Xinglong not only no longer opposes increasing investment in the national strategic defense system, but also promised to invest hundreds of billions of yuan in the national strategic defense system in the next three years, and strive to complete the construction task that was originally planned to take five years to complete within three years.

After Pang Xinglong made his statement, Gu Weimin began to introduce the construction of the national strategic defense system.

Because of economic, scientific, technological, industrial, and other factors, the building of national defense forces is cyclical. Taking the Navy as an example, the cycle of large warships such as aircraft carriers is up to 50 years, the cycle of medium warships such as cruisers and destroyers is 30 to 35 years, the cycle of small ships such as frigates is 25 to 30 years, and the cycle of submarines is 20 to 25 years. The national strategic defense system is no exception, and periodicity determines the timing of the system's construction.

Since 20199, the republic has accelerated the pace of construction of the national strategic defense system.

The key is that the new production process of composite batteries has been promoted, private enterprises have been allowed to enter the production field of composite batteries, and the output of composite batteries above 8 has increased rapidly and the price has been greatly reduced. In 2020, the output of more than 8 composite batteries will reach 2100~, and it is expected to reach 5000~:in 2021. The technological progress made in related fields has also played a very significant role in promoting the progress of the construction of the national strategic defense system.

By the end of July 20211, only 20~:, according to the original design, can only produce 2~laser interception system. Because scientists have successfully broken through the technology of rapid power transmission, using relatively cheap 12-level composite batteries as storage power, and 16-level composite batteries directly supply power to the laser, so that the 16-level composite batteries required for each laser interception system are reduced to less than 3~:, so the 16-level composite batteries produced by the end of 2021 are enough to produce 8 sets of laser interception systems.

In terms of missile interception systems, the emergence of superconducting electronic components solves the technical problems of the seeker.

According to the 20199 land plan. The optimal construction period of the first phase of the national strategic defense system is 7 years. After completing the basic interception capacity building. Enter the second phase of construction. Interception capabilities have been increased mainly through the acquisition of more interceptor weapons, mainly using existing technologies. Develop more advanced missile interception technology and make technical reserves. The construction period of this phase is also 7 years. From 2033 onwards. Enter the third phase of construction work. Enhance the combat capability of the national strategic defense system with more advanced technology.

The actual construction period of the national strategic defense system is 1. Not 7 years.

Determine this cycle. The main basis is the speed of technological development and accumulation. As the highest-end national defense construction. The technical requirements of the national strategic defense system exceed those of all military systems. Not to mention the republic. The United States is building a "national missile defense system". It is also based on technological progress and accumulation speed. Determine the construction period.

Speed up construction. Not only does it require additional investment. It also depends on whether the technical problems can be solved in a timely manner.

Take, for example, space-based laser interception systems. In addition to laser interceptors. It is also necessary to solve the technical problems of carrier aircraft, detection, screening, tracking, targeting, and so on, which are difficult to solve in a short period of time. As originally planned. The space-based laser interceptor system will be officially in service after 2035. Even after reformulating the plan, the service time was brought forward to 2027. Nor can the new requirements be met at this time.

Although the space-based laser interception system is one of the most difficult to develop in the national strategic defense system. But its significance and actual combat ability are the most powerful. It is the backbone of the national strategic defense system.

The United States has been hovering upwards in the "NMD system" for several years, and finally focused on the ABL.

Only air-based laser interception systems that can be deployed at the front to intercept strategic ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, including strategic ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, can be deployed at the front of the country and even over enemy countries to fundamentally ensure that the mainland will not be attacked by strategic weapons.

For the republic, this problem is even more prominent, since the republic is geographically much inferior to that of the United States.

The United States has the Atlantic Ocean in the east and the Pacific Ocean in the west, and its neighbors at the north and south ends are not threatened; except for strategic nuclear submarines capable of launching missiles into the US coastal waters, the strategic weapons of any country must fly thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers to strike targets on the US mainland.

The republic does not have this advantage, and there are several "evil neighbors" around it.

Whether it is dealing with Japan, North Korea, India, or Russia, the Republic must focus its national strategic defense system on the "initial stage," that is, intercepting missiles as soon as the enemy launches, rather than waiting until the missiles enter outer space and reach the airspace over the Republic.

With this as the goal, air-based laser interception systems became the first choice, followed by sea-based missile interception systems, and finally land-based missile interception systems.

After introducing the achievements and development goals, Gu Weimin put forward a new construction plan.

In addition to increasing investment in the development of space-based laser interception systems, purchasing 8 to 16 carrier aircraft in advance, and striving to complete prototype experiments in early 2024, in 20

In addition to the completion of infrastructure construction in the two strategies of northeast and east of the Republic, it is necessary to increase investment in sea-based missile interception systems, strive to have 8 cruisers and destroyers with missile interception capabilities by 2024, and deploy warships in the Sea of Japan and the northern waters of the East China Sea to fill the loopholes in the air-based laser interception system.

Because it is mainly aimed at the Japanese ground threat, the development of land-based missile interception systems can be moderately slowed down.

"The key is whether we have the ability to complete the preliminary construction work before 202." Zhao Rundong knocked on the table and set his eyes on Pan Yunsheng.

"We've gathered the relevant information." When Pan Yunsheng introduced the situation, Liu Xiaobin distributed the prepared materials to the participants. "The problem of ground energy supply for space-based laser interception systems has been resolved, and ground tests conducted at the beginning of last year successfully destroyed the ground optical equipment of scrapped remote sensing satellites. The experiment also demonstrated the reliability of the target search and tracking technology, and a more difficult experiment will be conducted later this year to determine the performance of the search and tracking system. What needs to be solved urgently is the problem of target identification and targeting system. The former requires high-resolution infrared and ultraviolet phasing systems, as well as related computer mathematical models and analysis software. The latter requires the solution of ground interference when the laser is transmitted within the atmosphere, as well as the related technologies required for continuous tracking of the target. ”

"What's going on?" Peng Maobang asked.

"It's a little bit more than we expected, but the difficulty should not be underestimated." Pan Yunsheng picked up the cigarette on the table, "Even if we increase investment, because it is difficult to find more relevant scientific researchers, the development progress may lag behind." In my opinion, it would be very good to be able to complete the test by the end of 2024. ”

"That is, it will not be until the second half of 2025 to form a real combat capability?"

Pan Yunsheng nodded and didn't say anything more.

No one has an attitude towards Pan Yunsheng's analysis. The Military Intelligence Agency is one of the departments in charge of military scientific research and has always been responsible for mastering military technology at the highest level. Pan Yunsheng has been in this industry for decades, and even if he is not a technical background, he can be regarded as an authority in the military technology industry.

"If that's the case, we'll have to find a way to solve the problem." Zhao Rundong rubbed his forehead and said, "Japan has enough capacity to complete the miniaturization of missiles and warheads within three years, produce hundreds of nuclear warheads and hundreds of delivery vehicles, and even have the ability to build strategic nuclear submarines." If we fail to initially build a national strategic defense system within three years, our activities in Northeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region will be greatly restricted, and we will even have to recognize Japan's status as a great power. ”

"What if it can't be solved?" Gu Weimin asked.

Zhao Rundong smiled bitterly and looked at Pan Yunsheng.

"I can only try to buy enough time." Pan Yunsheng took two puffs of cigarette, "One is to actively carry out activities in Japan, and jointly sanction Japan with the United States, Russia and other countries to slow down the construction of Japan's nuclear armaments. Second, it is necessary to make relevant preparations in advance, complete the development and manufacturing of carrier aircraft and other aspects, and try to reduce the interval between the completion of the test and the formation of combat effectiveness of the space-based laser interception system. Other than that, we have no other choice. ”

"The latter is entirely dependent on our own efforts, while the former depends on the attitude of the United States."

"Perhaps, we can make a fuss about the United States."

Li Cunxun suddenly came out and attracted everyone's attention.

After seeing Pan Yunsheng's supportive gaze, Li Cunxun said: "Japan is speeding up the construction of nuclear armaments, and the United States is not having a good time. In any case, the United States does not want Japan to go too far on this path. We are the only land that can work with the United States against Japan, and if we ask for it, the United States will make concessions. ”

"You're saying that the U.S. will provide us with the technology?"

Li Cunxun nodded. "Certainly not an open operation, but a covert collaboration. Of course, we have to make reciprocal commitments, and we have to trade technology for technology. ”

"The question is, what technology can we exchange with the United States?"

"If there is a technology exchange, will it harm the national interest?"

"The strategic defense system is the cornerstone of national ground security, and the defense system of the United States is aimed at our land, so why should the United States help us to arm?"

"Even if it is a reciprocal exchange of technology, I am afraid that the United States will not make concessions."

"You have to beware of being deceived, and the United States is very likely to provide false technology."

……

Li Cunxun's words stirred up a thousand waves, and the discussion suddenly became intense.

Pan Yunsheng smiled bitterly to himself. It is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, and only a young man like Li Cunxun, who has just participated in a decision-making meeting, dares to put forward such a bold idea.

After discussing it for a while, Zhao Rundong put the topic on hold.

After asking others to prepare according to the spirit of the meeting, Zhao Rundong left the three comrades from the Military Intelligence Bureau behind.

Obviously, Zhao Rundong was very interested in the idea proposed by Li Cunxun.

Damn it**

During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
