Chapter 352 Launch, Breakthrough!
Chapter 352 Launch, Breakthrough!
In the command center of the secret launch base of Yan State, Li Yang stood in front of a huge display screen, scanning everything in front of him with a determined gaze.
Various complex data and charts flashed on the screen, and each number represented countless days and nights of hard work.
"The countdown begins," Li Yang's voice echoed in the command center, "Everyone, take your positions."
Following his order, the entire launch site instantly entered a state of high alert.
The engineers stared at their monitoring screens nervously, and the technicians were busy at various posts to ensure that every link was foolproof.
Li Yang took a deep breath and looked at the real-time picture of the launch silo, where the Changfeng missile was quietly waiting for its historic moment.
"Ten, nine, eight..." The countdown sounded in the command center, and every number made the heartbeat of everyone present quicken.
"Three, two, one, fire!"
Following Li Yang's order, a huge flame rose from the launch silo. The "Changfeng" missile slowly rose with a deafening roar, and then rushed into the sky at an astonishing speed.
Everyone in the command center held their breath, staring intently at the real-time data displayed on the big screen. The speed, altitude, and attitude of the missile, every parameter affected their nerves.
"First stage separation successful!" an engineer shouted excitedly.
Li Yang nodded slightly, his eyes never leaving the screen. He knew that the real challenge had just begun.
After leaving the atmosphere, the "Changfeng" missile began its cruise phase.
Its flight trajectory is unexpectedly low, almost flying close to the sea surface. This flying method can not only effectively avoid radar detection, but also use the cover of the earth's curvature to further increase its concealment.
Meanwhile, in the Pacific, the enemy's defense system has been fully activated.
On the destroyer USS 77, Captain John Jackson was staring at the radar screen nervously. Suddenly, a weak signal caught his attention.
"There's something going on!" Jackson shouted, "Southeast, 300 nautical miles away, a suspected low-flying target!"
A rapid alarm sounded on the bridge immediately, and everyone tensed up, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.
At the Nike Hercules base, the situation was not calm either. The base commander, Major General Robert Williams, was pacing anxiously.
"Damn it, why hasn't our long-range radar detected the target yet?" Williams cursed.
Just then, a technical officer ran over, "Sir, we may have a problem. The radar seems to be interfered with in some way, and the signal is very unstable."
Williams' face turned pale instantly. He realized that the situation might be much worse than he thought.
……
Meanwhile, in the Pentagon's command center, the atmosphere was even more tense. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara was listening to the latest battlefield report.
"Mr. Minister," an officer reported, "our radar system seems unable to accurately lock onto the target. Yanguo's missiles use some kind of stealth technology we have never seen before."
McNamara frowned. "Then send electronic jamming signals to disrupt their guidance system!"
However, just as the enemy was about to launch an electronic attack, something happened that no one had expected.
In the electronic countermeasure system of the Changfeng missile, the advanced algorithm designed by Li Yang began to play a role. It can not only effectively block the enemy's detection signals, but also actively send out false signals to confuse the enemy's defense system.
The enemy's electronic warfare experts were horrified to find that their proud electronic warfare equipment had completely lost its function. Not only could they not interfere with Yan's missiles, but their own systems were thrown into chaos.
"This is impossible!" an electronic warfare expert exclaimed, "How can their technology be so advanced?"
McNamara's face turned extremely ugly. He realized that they might have underestimated the strength of Yan Country.
"Damn it," McNamara roared, "stop that missile, no matter what!"
In the Pacific, the enemy's defense system fell into unprecedented chaos. Radar could not accurately locate targets, electronic jamming equipment was ineffective, and even the communication system was seriously disrupted.
"Sir, what should we do?" Captain Jackson's adjutant asked anxiously.
Jackson gritted his teeth and said, "Since we can't lock onto the target, let's conduct a regional interception! Launch all missiles to form an impenetrable firepower network!"
Following his order, the Talos system began to launch large-scale interceptor missiles. Dozens of missiles roared into the sky, forming a huge interception area in the air.
At the same time, at the Nike Hercules base, Major General Williams also issued a similar order.
"Patriot" missiles were launched one after another, aiming to cover all areas where "Changfeng" missiles might pass.
The entire Pacific sky was suddenly filled with flames, and hundreds of interceptor missiles flew across the air, forming a spectacular and terrifying picture.
However, the "Changfeng" missile was like a slippery loach, flexibly shuttling through this dense firepower network, sometimes accelerating, sometimes decelerating, constantly changing its flight altitude and direction, leaving the enemy's interception system completely confused.
In the Pentagon's command center, everyone held their breath and stared at the big screen. Every time the interceptor missile approached the target, they couldn't help but clench their fists. However, every time it ended in failure.
"How is it possible..." McNamara muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.
At this moment, a dazzling red dot suddenly flashed on the big screen. It was the final position signal of the "Changfeng" missile.
The entire command center fell into deathly silence.
"It...it broke through our lines," an officer said, shuddering.
McNamara felt dizzy. He knew exactly what this meant. The air defense system that the United States was so proud of was so vulnerable in front of the new missiles of Yan Country.
"This is impossible... This is absolutely impossible..." McNamara muttered to himself, his voice full of despair and unwillingness.
In the Pacific, the enemy destroyers and air defense bases fell into chaos. The soldiers looked at each other in disbelief.
"We...we failed?" Captain Jackson stood blankly on the bridge, his eyes full of confusion and shock.
Major General Williams slammed the table hard, "Damn it! How on earth did these Yan people do it?"
At the same time, in Yan Country’s command center, the cheers almost blew the roof off.
"Success!" Zhang Guoqiang shouted excitedly, "Our 'Changfeng' missile successfully broke through the enemy's defense line!"
Li Yang stood there with a gratified smile on his face. He knew that this was not only a successful missile test, but also an important moment for Yan State to declare its strength to the world.
"Comrades," Li Yang turned to face the excited team members, "our work has just begun. This success is just the beginning, and we still have a long way to go."
At this moment, a communicator came running over, "Engineer Li, the superior called and asked us to report the test results to them immediately."
Li Yang nodded, took a deep breath, and walked towards the communication room. He knew that what was waiting for him next would be a brand new challenge.
In the Oval Office of the White House, the face of the United States President was terribly gloomy. He had just received an urgent report from the Pentagon that Yan's new missiles had successfully broken through the enemy's air defense network.
"This is a shame!" the commander-in-chief roared, "The air defense system we are so proud of was easily penetrated by the missiles of a backward country!"
Secretary of State Dean Rusk tried to calm the president, "Sir, we can't jump to conclusions. Maybe this was just a fluke..."
"Luck?" The commander-in-chief sneered, "Do you think it's luck that you were able to break through our most advanced air defense network?"
At this moment, Secretary of Defense McNamara walked into the office, his face pale, his eyes full of fatigue and frustration.
"Secretary," the president stared at McNamara, "give me an explanation."
McNamara took a deep breath, "Sir, according to our preliminary analysis, this new missile of Yan Country uses technology we have never seen before. It not only has extremely strong stealth capabilities, but also has an advanced electronic countermeasure system. Our radar and communication systems are almost completely ineffective in front of it."
The office fell into a dead silence. Everyone realized what this meant. The technological level of Yan Country might have far exceeded their imagination.
"So," the Commander's voice was low and dangerous, "what should we do now?"
McNamara wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Sir, I suggest that we convene a National Security Council meeting immediately. We need to reassess the military strength of Yan Country and formulate a new strategic plan."
The commander-in-chief nodded, "Okay, arrange it immediately. Also," he swept his eyes over everyone present, "from now on, Yan Country becomes our primary threat. I want to know everything about them, their technology, their military, and even their every move. We must never let something like this happen again!"
……
At the same time, in the Kremlin in Mo City, the Russian leader was listening to the report on the missile test launch of the Yan State.
"Comrades," the Russian leader said in a deep and majestic voice, "this news is both a threat and an opportunity for us. The rise of Yan Country will undermine the rights and interests of the United States, but it will also threaten our interests in the Far East."
He stood up and walked to the world map on the wall. "From today on, we have to review our global strategy. We need to strengthen our ties with Yan Country, but we also need to remain vigilant. We need to understand how they achieved such a huge technological breakthrough in such a short period of time."
While the whole world was shocked by Yan State's test launch, Li Yang had already started new work.
In his office, a huge blueprint covers the entire desktop. This is a design of a brand new weapon system, more advanced and more terrifying than the Changfeng missile.
Li Yang's eyes swept over the drawings, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He knew that this was just the beginning. The rise of Yan State had just begun, and he would continue to lead this ancient oriental country to new glory.
"Let the storm come harder," Li Yang said softly, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was announcing to the whole world, "We are ready."
