Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 1382 Unexpected Failure

The test work is still going on, and the detection of the next two dark-spot targets is relatively smooth.Although these two targets have either carried out relevant camouflage, so that they have minimal contrast with the surrounding environment.Either it is a private building, which is not much different from other village buildings, and it needs to be carefully identified to find it.But for these two targets, 'Bifang No. [-]' finally detected them.As for the detection of the last moving target, it is difficult.Because this moving target is actually a car driving in this area, this requires drones to continuously detect over this area, so as to observe the moving car and distinguish it. Is it the car mentioned in the information?

Although the researchers have gone through many efforts, they have not completed it in the end.Considering the relationship between time and fuel, I finally had to give up this goal and return.Although everyone felt a little regretful about this, they didn't feel frustrated. On the contrary, they were somewhat joyful. In other words, this test basically achieved the expected goal.After all, the first four targets have already been detected, and the latter moving target itself was added later, so it is reasonable to not complete it.Moreover, relevant researchers and experts have already found the problem, and I believe it will not take long for this problem to be solved.

It was already afternoon waiting for the drone to come back. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the drone landed very smoothly at the airport.After bursts of applause, the researchers gathered around to check some electronic equipment on the drone to evaluate the flight situation.Director Song and Deputy Minister Zhao left after watching for a while.Although they said they were going to take a break, Jiang Chen actually knew that they should be eager to report.Although Jiang Chen was very helpless about this, he had no choice but to let them go.

There were no test items on the second day, and all personnel rested and moved freely.And Jiang Chen also led Director Song and the others to visit and understand the surroundings of the base in the afternoon. Of course, this was also requested by others.Of course, Jiang Chen readily agreed.But for Jiang Chen to plant grass in the desert around this base to protect wild animals, Deputy Chief Zhao and the others obviously couldn't understand.Especially when he knew that Jiang Chen had shoveled all the wheat and corn and planted all the grass, he even scolded Jiang Chen for being a prodigal.But in this regard, Director Song has a different opinion, and he also highly appreciates Jiang Chen's actions, praising him for his foresight.Regarding this aspect, Jiang Chen did not explain too much.Because at present, a large number of people still cannot understand Jiang Chen's approach. This can only be the test of time.

In the early morning of the third day, after everyone had breakfast, the testing work started immediately.The second test is the second test content of the drone, which is the bomb attack.Because the content of this test is very dangerous, Jiang Chen rejected Director Song's request to go to the shooting range to observe it, but left them in the base command center.

Because it is a live ammunition, everyone has no idea, so they are very careful during the test.Because if one is not careful, danger may occur.This time, the UAV is equipped with two ground-to-ground missiles, one of which is guided by laser beam driving, while the other is guided by TV images.The reason for choosing two types is also to test the adaptability of UAV platforms to different guided missiles.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the drone began to glide and take off on the runway.However, due to the load problem, it took a long time for the drone to fly on the runway this time, which made everyone really sweat.However, now that it is flying, there will naturally be no problems for the next voyage.So after hovering in the air for more than an hour, and after various inspections and preparations, the drone came to the sky above the test range as scheduled.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the command hall is very dignified. Even Jiang Chen has no intention of taking care of Director Song and the others at the moment, but concentrates on the images and data transmitted back from the screen in real time.

"The intended target was found!"

"The target is confirmed, one of the five nine tanks."

"Aim the laser system and unlock the weapon system."

"The weapon system has been unlocked and is ready to attack at any time."

"attack!"

"Understood, the drone attack test project, the first one, a laser beam-guided ground-to-surface missile. Prepare, three, two, one, launch!"

"The missile was launched successfully!"

After about two or three seconds, the picture on the big screen produced a few strong flashes.Jiang Chen knew that this should be the strong light from the explosion.

"Begin evaluating the results of the attack."

"Report, judging from the images fed back by the drone, the missile did not hit the target."

"Contact the Range Observatory to confirm."

"Yes!"

"Report, range report, the missile did not successfully hit the target, but deviated from a position ten meters northeast of the target and exploded. The target was affected by the blast wave and was slightly damaged, but it was not destroyed."

Hearing this test report, everyone started talking.Especially Director Song and his group of visitors had a heated discussion below.Immediately, Director Song and Vice President Zhao comforted Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen didn't say anything, but lit a cigarette and ordered the test to continue.

The test results of the second TV image-guided ground-to-ground missile did not exceed expectations, and still failed to hit the target.And this time the deviation was even greater, the explosion was fired almost ten meters away, and the target was not damaged at all.These two unsatisfactory test results in a row made the atmosphere in the command hall tense.Director Zhao and the others were also discussing, but this time their voices were very quiet, and they were mostly waiting for Jiang Chen's decision.As for Jiang Chen, although he had expected the whole result, he was still a little frustrated when it actually happened.

But there is no way, since it has already happened, it must be faced.Moreover, Jiang Chen knew that there was a group of people more worthy of comfort than him at this moment, and that was the relevant R&D team.Regarding this, Jiang Chen had no choice but to calm down and go to comfort these people.Compared with Jiang Chen, the R&D team obviously felt more frustrated, and everyone was very frustrated at the moment.Even when Jiang Chen was comforting, everyone lowered their heads and were embarrassed to face Jiang Chen.

In their words, it was their fault, they failed Jiang Chen's expectations of them.As for this, Jiang Chen comforted them again and again, telling them not to have such thoughts and burdens, but the effect was not too obvious.This also made him very helpless, because those who engage in scientific research are very persistent and strong in their hearts, and care about success and failure.And this time it was in front of Director Song and the leaders, so I was naturally very sorry.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Chen had no other way but to comfort him.Immediately, people began to control the UAV to return to the voyage. As for the next test work, let's suspend it first, and wait for these people to adjust.As for Jiang Chen's decision, Director Song and the others expressed their understanding and support.

[Warmly celebrating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army!In the past [-] years, our army has grown from scratch, from weak to strong, step by step, and changed once a year.When we remember the martyrs and celebrate the festival, please don't forget that behind this powerful army, there are those who have paid silently.This also includes the vast number of military workers. It is because of their dedication that everyone will see all kinds of advanced equipment unveiled. It is because of their efforts that we have the guarantee of our decisive victory on the battlefield!Salute to all military workers! 】
