NOVEL NEXT Chapter 243
East of the Pacific Ocean.
Los Angeles Sea.
Located on the west side of California, it is a state in the southwest of the United States, referred to as California, also known as the”Golden State”.
It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, Oregon to the north, Nevada to the east, Arizona to the southeast, and Mexico to the south.
California has a coastline of 2,030 kilometers and a total area of about 42.4 square kilometers.
At this time.
The sea 100 kilometers away from Los Angeles
“Li Donghai, the captain of the submarine Qianlong, was looking at the radar coordinates and commanded:”Attention, all departments, the submarine is about to enter the Eagle Sauce waters, please prepare!!”
“The”Qianlong” nuclear submarine is 171 meters long and 13 meters wide, with an underwater displacement of 20,810 tons. It is equipped with 16 missile launchers and carries 16″Julang 1″ submarine missiles!
It uses a two-stage solid engine, a missile length of 10.7 meters, a missile diameter of 1.34, a launch weight of 14.7 tons, a warhead payload of 0.6, and a submarine-launched ballistic missile with an explosive power of 200,000 to 1 million tons, so it is also called the”shore giant wave”.
The firing rate is 1.2 Mach!
The missile uses inertial guidance technology and has a range of about 2,000 kilometers.
Many new technologies are used in the overall design, including double head fairings, underwater tail fairings, active cavitation drag reduction in water, surface ignition, and so on.
At the same time, the”Qianlong” nuclear submarine also carries 8 torpedo tubes equipped with 50 heavy torpedoes.
Of course, it can also carry a guided missile launcher. Missiles, each missile carries 12 independently targetable warheads and can strike 192 targets. However, this technology is not yet feasible.
Because the”Qianlong” nuclear submarine will use an integrated power system, a pump-jet propulsion system, full silencing tiles, and an X-tail rudder, the overall noise is reduced to within 100 decibels, which is lower than the ocean background noise and is difficult to be detected by sonar.
Therefore, there is no need to think of sneaking forward like a chicken in a basin attacking Pearl Harbor.
Although the”Qianlong” nuclear submarine is 171 meters long, 13 meters wide, and has a displacement of 20,810 tons, it is no different from a grain of sand in the vast Pacific Ocean.
This is one of the reasons why nuclear submarines can quietly arrive in the waters of Los Angeles.
Li Donghai:”Stop moving forward, the entire ship enters the first level of combat readiness, target: Vandenberg Air Force Base”
“JL-1 missile launch preparations!”
This is the first battle of the Qianlong nuclear submarine, and it must be foolproof.
“Report, target locked!”
“The Julang missile launch is ready!”
“Ready to launch……”
“”Fire!” Li Donghai gave the highest order.
Click! Click! Click!
The operator turned off the safety, opened the button cover, and pressed the red button.
Then.
Rub, rub, rub…
6 giant wave missiles were ejected from the missile warehouse 100 meters underwater.
Gugugu… Lululu…
Under the huge impact force given by the missile warehouse, a shock wave was caused in the surrounding sea area. The surrounding fish were killed and floated to the surface one after another.
At the same time.
After the 6 giant wave missiles emerged from the water!
Boom boom boom…
The missile engine immediately started to work and provided powerful power.
Chirp chirp…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Six missiles took off above the sea level and flew towards Vandenberg Air Force Base at a speed of 1.2 Mach.
Whoosh whoosh…
Buzz buzz buzz……
……
Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Located on the southern coast of California, just north of Cape Aguero.
Vandenberg Base was originally called Camp Cook Base and was selected as a missile base in 1953.
The base is a dry, barren place with wind-blocked Bolton Mesa, many canyons, sand dunes, clay and gravel layers.
The base covers an area of 279.72 square kilometers, including 51.49 kilometers of coastline.
This means that the base is on the seaside.
Due to the geographical location of Vandenberg Base, it can launch high-inclination orbits and polar orbit satellites to the west.
This is also one of the reasons why the Eagle Sauce is vigorously building the base.
According to the plan of the Eagle Sauce Defense Agency, the base will launch its first missile, the Thor medium-range ballistic missile, and the Eagle Sauce’s first intercontinental missile, the Atlas D, in December at the end of the year. In the future, the Thor/Akinna rocket will also be used to launch the world’s first polar orbit satellite, Discoverer 1.
Of course, the Eagle Sauce Ministry of Defense chose Vandenberg Air Force Base as the second space shuttle launch site after Cape Canaveral for the following reasons.
First of all, from the perspective of geographical location, Vandenberg Air Force Base is located at 3437 north latitude and 12035 west longitude. It launches to the west, with a launch azimuth of 140-11 and an orbital inclination of 56-104. Polar orbit launches can also be carried out to the south, which just makes up for the deficiency that Kennedy Space Center can only launch to the east.
Most of the ground facilities of the original launch base can be used to the maximum extent.
Secondly, the flight area extends to the west or southwest, across the Pacific Ocean, avoiding densely populated areas and industrial cities, with a good measurement and monitoring environment. Measurement and tracking stations are located on the coast of California, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands.
In addition, transportation is convenient, and aviation, railways, roads and sea transportation are all smooth.
At present, after the efforts and construction of the Eagle Sauce in many aspects, the basic facilities of the base have been completed.
Including the ground cryogenic system of the fuel depot: gas source storage system, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen distribution system, liquid hydrogen storage system and liquid oxygen storage system of the main propellant.
The launch control room is a two-story brick building that houses the control center and support equipment, components of the launch processing system, communication systems, closed-circuit television, hazard and safety monitors, command consoles, and various remote control and telemetry instruments.
The center’s equipment has remote and automatic operation capabilities and can remotely control, monitor, record, and identify the operation of aircraft/components and ground equipment.
It can monitor the operation of the fire source and gas detection system on the launch pad and can respond to emergencies.���
At present, the launch control center is concentrated in Building 488 in the southern area of Vandenberg Air Force Base, which consists of the range control center, operation control center, range safety center, regional control center and radio tracking system radar.
The task of the range control center is to master the working conditions of all measurement stations, command stations, telemetry stations, communication stations and air surveillance stations involved in the mission before each mission is carried out at the range, and to judge whether the entire range can meet the requirements.
There is also a complete ground tracking system, which is distributed on the coast of California and the Pacific Islands.
It consists of radar tracking and telemetry equipment, optical tracking equipment, telemetry receiving stations, communication equipment, timing signal centers, meteorological equipment, etc.
Radar tracking equipment is set up on the mainland, islands, tracking ships, and various islands in the lower range, such as Cape Mogu, San Nicolas Island, Cape Aguero, etc., including various pulse radars and passive continuous wave radars.
The equipment of the entire Vandenberg base is very complete, and it will be an important development direction for the future aviation and missile launch of the Eagle Sauce.
To this end, the Eagle Sauce has made the Vandenberg base the most advanced and complete missile launch base with the strength of the whole country.
South District, Building 488.
Launch Control Center.
At this time, Ridgway was directing the final preparations for the SM-65 intercontinental missile.
“General Ridgway, the preliminary work for the SM-65 intercontinental missile has been prepared, and it is scheduled to be launched at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Ridgway was still worried:”Check it again, the SM-65 intercontinental missile is related to the national destiny of the United States, and it must not fail!”
“All right, General Ridgway.……”(To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Then, everyone continued to recheck all the work before the missile launch.
Suddenly, the radio tracking system radar in the launch control center sounded an alarm.
Beep beep beep…
Ridgway was stunned:”Fuck, what’s going on?”
“General, it looks like a missile.……”
“The missiles haven’t been launched yet, where did they come from?”
“General, this missile is not from our base, it is… coming from the Pacific Ocean!”
Pacific Ocean?
Could it be… that the rabbit has launched another intercontinental missile?
Ridgway’s heart trembled.
At this time, the JL-1 missile had arrived at the Vandenberg base.
It was whistling.
It was so fast.
The Vandenberg base had no air defense missiles to intercept it. The radio tracking system radar only tracked the missile and could not intercept it at all.
Moreover, its function was to know that after the satellite was launched, the engine separated and landed, and then locked and tracked it, so as to recover it.
Rumble…
In 5 seconds, six JL missiles fell from the sky, landing on six different targets (randomly).
Boom…
Boom…
Boom…
Six JL-1 submarine missiles exploded with huge explosions, forming shock waves that spread in all directions.
Although the warhead payload is only 0.6 kg of TNT, the explosive power of one missile reaches 500,000 equivalents.
The power is enormous.
Three of them fell on the open ground, creating a large pit with a diameter of 300 meters. The shock waves emitted pushed the surrounding buildings across, causing 232 casualties.
One of them fell between the launch control room and the launch tower.
Boom…
The explosion of JL-1 formed a high-temperature and high-pressure shock wave that swept to both sides.
Whoosh…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh……[]
The shock wave hit the launch tower and the launch control room at a speed of 200 meters per second.
Snap!
The glass shattered, and almost all the equipment and circuits in the launch control room were damaged.
At the same time, the entire launch tower collapsed under the baptism of the shock wave. The SM-65 intercontinental missile that had just stood up was scattered, and the parts were flying in the wind, making it a mess.
In less than a minute, 85 people were killed and injured, and the launch tower was directly turned into a pile of scrap metal.
……
On the other side, a JL-1 missile landed 60 meters away from the launch control center.
Boom boom boom…
In 30 seconds, the lines, equipment, and buildings of the launch control center suffered varying degrees of damage.
It was impossible to resume normal work in a short time.
“‘Falk……”Ridgway, who was hiding behind the wall, saw this scene and shouted angrily:”Damn it!”……”
“Where did this missile come from!”
Just as the voice fell!
A loud noise came from the fuel storage tank one kilometer away.
Boom!
It turned out that a JL-1 missile fell into the liquid hydrogen storage room and the liquid oxygen storage room, causing an explosion.
These are the fuels of rocket engines, which are flammable and explosive.
This JL-1 missile is like igniting a pack of dynamite.
Boom…
The fuel sprayed out!
Flames were everywhere!
The explosion resounded throughout the Vandenberg base.
The missile launch base that the Eagle Sauce had built for more than half a year was almost completely destroyed.
“Fuck, hurry up, get the fire truck over here, quick……”Ridgway commanded:”Hurry up and fire!”
“Quick, check the SM-65 intercontinental missile, how is it?”
“Report, General, the SM-65 intercontinental missile has become a pile of scrap metal, and many parts cannot be found!”
“Fuck…”
Ridgway paced the command center angrily, but at this moment, the phone on the command center desk rang.
“General, the President is calling……”
