#208 - Dongfeng Express's debut
Bright Sword World, Mu Us Desert.
Near the mysterious Hou Yi Project, Ren Zhong stared at a large pipe about 12 meters high and 1.5 meters in diameter, his heart surging and his emotions running high.
"Professor Qian, is this our Dongfeng I?" Ren Zhong said to a young, refined man beside him.
"Mr. Ren, as you wish, this is what you named Dongfeng I. In fact, I would prefer to call it our first-generation rocket, a modified V2," Professor Qian replied from the side.
"Thanks to the improvement of propellant materials, we have shortened the size of the original V2 rocket. Currently, our rocket is 12.3 meters long, 1.48 meters in diameter, weighs 10.5 tons, has a warhead ballast of 1 ton, and a maximum range of 650 kilometers according to theoretical calculations. However, limited by the range suitable for testing in our controlled area, we have selected a target of 450 kilometers for this test, in the desert of Baiyun Obo control area outside Jiuyuan.
Theoretically, our Dongfeng rocket has surpassed the range of the V2 rocket by two times. It is the longest-range rocket currently known. I must say, the team behind Mr. Ren is very impressive, providing our research team with enough top-secret information to allow our Dongfeng I to be launched so quickly."
The young Professor Qian was also very emotional when he said this, and at the same time full of awe!
Many of the materials Ren Zhong gave them for reference were not available to him at Caltech or even the most core rocket research team of the rogue eagle. He really didn't know how mysterious Ren Zhong's organization was.
As for the top-secret information of the V2 rocket, which is considered the most core in Europe, Professor Qian and the others had been looking forward to it for a long time in the rogue eagle continent, but at most they could only get a little bit of scraps from the intelligence department. However, here with Ren Zhong, from the principle explanation to the design, Ren Zhong almost took out most of the performance parameters, as well as most of the design drafts, material composition, and propellant formula!
He even came up with a more efficient and stable rocket propellant, allowing Professor Qian and the others to design a more powerful rocket in a smaller size!
Professor Qian couldn't imagine how much energy Ren Zhong's organization had behind him.
Even if he was the strongest genius in the field of rockets today, Professor Qian felt a sense of looking up to Ren Zhong.
Even though Ren Zhong repeatedly stated that he knew nothing about rockets and only provided them with some information for reference, Ren Zhong was able to confidently draw a blueprint for Professor Qian and their rocket research team with these materials, as well as the direction of future rocket development!
15,000 kilometers range global express delivery, solid propellant! 2.5-ton warhead! This is the ultimate goal that Ren Zhong has drawn for their rocket research center in the next 30 years!
When Ren Zhong first proposed this goal, everyone thought Ren Zhong was crazy, but Ren Zhong didn't talk nonsense to them, and directly drew the future development map of the Dongfeng family.
First-generation Dongfeng Express, at least 500 kilometers.
Second-generation Dongfeng Express, at least 1200 kilometers.
Third-generation Dongfeng Express, at least 3000 kilometers.
Fourth-generation Dongfeng Express, at least 5000 kilometers.
Fifth-generation Dongfeng Express, at least 8000 kilometers.
Sixth-generation Dongfeng Express, at least 12000 kilometers.
Seventh-generation Dongfeng Express, at least 15000 kilometers.
Then, he gave the reference prototype of the first-generation Dongfeng Express, most of the design data of the V2 rocket, and the modified first-generation rocket propellant process formula.
In scientific research, Ren Zhong's greatest strength is not to reason with you, but to give you a pile of information to experience yourself.
If it is a group of mediocre people, even if you feed them the food, they will not be able to tell the good from the bad, but Ren Zhong is now gathering a group of geniuses in the Dawn Research Institute. The core members are the real pillars who will almost all become academicians in the future, and several of them are national scholars at the level of suppressing the country!
This does not require Ren Zhong to say anything more.
As soon as the V2 data came out, and the performance parameters of the propellant were revealed, Professor Qian took less than a day to demonstrate that the energy of a rocket designed with this propellant was enough to push the range to more than 3000 kilometers!
This is a deduction from a pure energy perspective, but it has already shown that Ren Zhong is by no means drawing cakes for them out of thin air!
If Ren Zhong has given a very solid technical foundation for the evolution of the first three generations of rockets, then does Ren Zhong already have better technology to achieve the next four generations?
When Professor Qian deduced this, all the members of the Rocket Research Center no longer had any doubts, but began to join the work process one by one very excitedly.
This is a groundbreaking and huge initiative in the Bright Sword world. Even if these people do not have much strategic thinking in the military, they are very clear about how terrible a large-scale weapon of mass destruction of more than 1 ton that can be hit on your head at any time without sending people or planes is!
Core personnel like Professor Qian also vaguely know that Professor Wu and their research is to develop an extremely terrifying weapon of mass destruction!
A weapon of mass destruction that is countless times more powerful than explosives and is currently unimaginable on Blue Star.
On the other side, Ren Zhong nodded after listening to Professor Qian's introduction, and after sorting out his mood, he said to Huzi beside him.
"Professor Qian, prepare for the ignition test. Huzi, tell the communications team to notify the target area and ensure that the monitoring and observation personnel are at least ten kilometers away."
This is just the first step in the sea of stars. Although Ren Zhong is not sure whether the test can be successfully completed today.
But no matter what kind of twists and turns he encounters, he firmly believes that the result is certain. In this world, with him, no one is more confident in rockets than him.
Huzi took out the walkie-talkie and transmitted Ren Zhong's order to the radio station in the communications room. Soon the radio waves transmitted the order to hundreds of kilometers away.
Baiyun Obo.
The commander of the Sebei Military Region personally sat in the test area.
The test area was blocked by cavalry for a radius of 50 kilometers to ensure that no news was leaked.
Today's test is top secret for the border area.
In addition to the R\u0026D team and the staff of the Hou Yi base, no more than 10 people really know the specific information of this test.
"Immediately order the 1st company of the military region's reconnaissance battalion to withdraw!" The commander of the Sebei Military Region ordered without hesitation, "All withdraw ten kilometers from the target area and prepare for long-distance observation. Reply, Station No. 1 has been cleared and is waiting to welcome guests."
Project 100 is Professor Wu's Hou Yi Project.
Project 101 is Professor Qian's Dongfeng Project. For Ren Zhong, these are projects that must be protected as top secrets, so the project code and name are not related to the research.
In comparison, the tank project and the fighter project are No. 600 and No. 601 respectively, and the level of confidentiality is one level lower.
"Commander, the 101 Project Department is calling, the operation has begun, and requires us to pay attention to observation!" Soon, the communications staff received a new reply.
The commander of the Sebei Military Region became solemn, and then began to concentrate on staring at the south.
There are almost no hills to block here, the field of vision is wide, and you can see the horizon of dozens of kilometers at a glance.
Time passed by, and the people next to him were okay, but the commander of the Sebei Military Region, who knew the inside story, became a little anxious.
This is a future weapon of mass destruction. If it succeeds, it will be an epoch-making progress for the entire border area and even the whole country.
Now the south is motionless, is there something wrong?
Unfortunately, communication is inconvenient in this world, and the radio station needs to be kept secret, so it is impossible to frequently exchange information.
Therefore, the commander of the Sebei Military Region can only wait for the time to pass by second by second.
Just as he was looking forward to it, suddenly, a fast-moving small dot emerged from the distant horizon. The commander of the Sebei Military Region's eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his binoculars. Sure enough, it was a fire-breathing thing that was rapidly heading towards him from the south!
Success!
They succeeded!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, the commander of the Sebei Military Region observed while giving orders, "Notify the observers, Dongfeng has arrived, observe and record the landing point in all directions! Report immediately!"
