Chapter 347 Satellite-Guided Missile Technology
They first solved the problem of the size of the drone. Li Yang designed a new manufacturing process that allowed the drone to be reduced to the size of a bee, or even smaller.
These micro drones are not only difficult to detect, but can also easily enter various complex environments.
In terms of energy, Li Yang's micro batteries have made a breakthrough.
Although this battery is only the size of a thumb, it can provide energy supply for several days, which greatly improves the endurance of drones and makes long-term reconnaissance and combat possible.
Significant progress has also been made in the upgrade of intelligent control systems. The new generation of artificial intelligence algorithms developed by Li Yang enables these micro-drones to not only collaborate autonomously, but also make tactical adjustments based on battlefield conditions. They can flexibly respond to various complex situations like a group of real insects.
Finally, Li Yang significantly reduced the manufacturing cost of drones by optimizing the design and production processes.
They adopted a modular design so that these high-tech drones can be mass-produced like ordinary commodities.
When the first batch of new drones completed testing, everyone was shocked by their performance. These little guys can shuttle freely in complex terrain, can stay hidden for a long time, can perform precise reconnaissance and strike missions, and the cost is incredibly low.
……
Just when Li Yang was feeling pleased with this achievement, an unexpected news came.
That afternoon, Li Yang was debugging a new drone model in the laboratory when the door suddenly opened. Zhang Guoqiang rushed in with an excited expression on his face.
"Engineer Li!" Zhang Guoqiang said breathlessly, "There is good news!"
Li Yang raised his head and looked at Zhang Guoqiang with some confusion. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhang Guoqiang took a deep breath, calmed his breathing, and then said, "I just received a notice from my superiors that the Missile Research Institute has completed the rocket position reservation work according to your suggestion. They hope that you can go there as soon as possible to assist in the development of the satellite guidance system."
Li Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. He put down the tools in his hands and stood up. "Really? That's great!" he said excitedly, "We can finally start this project."
Zhang Guoqiang nodded and smiled. "Yes, everyone is looking forward to your arrival. You know how important this project is to our country."
Li Yang's expression became serious. He knew that the satellite guidance system would completely change the accuracy of missiles. This was not only a technological breakthrough, but also a major improvement in the country's strategic capabilities.
"I understand," Li Yang said. "This project cannot afford to fail. We must go all out."
He walked quickly to his desk and began to pack up the materials and equipment he needed to take away. At the same time, his brain was already working rapidly, reviewing various ideas and plans about the satellite guidance system.
"Engineer Zhang," Li Yang said as he packed his things, "please help me make arrangements. I need to get to the Missile Research Institute as soon as possible. Also, please notify the institute and ask them to prepare the relevant data and equipment. We will start working as soon as we get there."
Zhang Guoqiang immediately nodded in agreement and turned around to arrange these matters.
Li Yang stood in front of his desk, his eyes fixed on a world map hanging on the wall. His eyes became deep, as if he could see the distant future through this map.
"Satellite guidance," he whispered to himself, "this will be a brand new beginning."
……
The next morning, Li Yang and his team arrived at the Missile Research Institute. The director of the institute personally came to the door to greet them, which shows how much importance he attaches to this project.
"Comrade Li, welcome!" The director shook Li Yang's hand warmly, "We have all been looking forward to this for a long time."
Li Yang smiled and nodded, "Thank you, we are also very excited to be involved in this project. I wonder how it is going now?"
The director led Li Yang and his team into the main building of the institute, and introduced as they walked: "According to your previous suggestion, we have reserved a place on the rocket to install the satellite guidance module. Now, we are waiting for you to design this core component."
They came to a spacious conference room, the walls of which were covered with various drawings and data sheets. The director pointed to one of the rocket structure drawings and said: "Look, this is the space we reserved for the satellite guidance module."
Li Yang carefully looked at the blueprint and nodded from time to time. His brain was working quickly, and he had already begun to think about how to perfectly integrate the satellite guidance system into the rocket.
"Very good," Li Yang said, "This location is suitable. Now, let's start designing the satellite guidance module."
In the following days, Li Yang led the team to start intensive research and development work. The first challenge they faced was how to integrate all the necessary components in a limited space.
"We need a high-precision inertial measurement unit," Li Yang told his team, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "This unit should be able to accurately measure the acceleration and angular velocity of the rocket."
A young engineer raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Li, is the existing inertial measurement unit too large?"
Li Yang nodded. "Yes, that's the problem we need to solve. We need to develop a new type of micro inertial measurement unit that is both small and accurate."
The team immediately got to work, trying a variety of new materials and processes, and finally succeeded in developing an inertial measurement unit that is only the size of a thumb but has extremely high accuracy.
Next, they began to design the satellite signal receiver, which needed to be able to accurately receive and process signals from navigation satellites while the rocket was flying at high speed.
"We need to consider the impact of the Doppler effect," Li Yang drew a diagram on the whiteboard, "and also solve the problem of signal loss during high-speed movement."
After countless experiments and improvements, they finally developed a new type of anti-interference satellite signal receiver that can not only maintain stable signal reception in complex environments, but also quickly reacquire lost signals.
But the most challenging part was developing the guidance algorithm, which processes data from an inertial measurement unit and satellite receivers in real time to calculate the rocket's precise position and speed, and then make corresponding flight adjustments.
Li Yang often works late into the night, immersed in complex mathematical formulas and computer codes. Sometimes, he suddenly comes up with a new idea and immediately wakes up team members to discuss and implement it.
"We can use the Kalman filter algorithm," Li Yang said excitedly, "which can better integrate inertial data and satellite data and improve positioning accuracy."
After several months of hard work, they finally completed the development of the satellite guidance module. Although this module is only the size of a football, it embodies the most advanced technology.
Everyone held their breath as they mounted the module on the rocket for its first test. The rocket slowly lifted off and soon disappeared into the clouds.
In the control room, engineers stared at the screen, monitoring every move of the rocket. Suddenly, one engineer exclaimed: "It's incredible! The accuracy is higher than expected!"
Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief and a gratified smile appeared on his face. He knew that this satellite guidance system would completely change missile technology and provide strong protection for national security.
The director came over and shook Li Yang's hand excitedly: "Comrade Li, you have created a miracle again! With this system, our missile will become one of the most accurate weapons in the world."
Li Yang smiled modestly, "This is the credit of our entire team. However, our work is not over yet. Next, we need to further optimize the system so that it can adapt to various complex combat environments."
The director nodded, his eyes sparkling with admiration: "I believe that under your leadership, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."
In this way, Li Yang and his team continued to work on improving the satellite guidance system. They continuously optimized the algorithm, improved the system's anti-interference ability, and even began to study how to maintain the accuracy of guidance under extreme weather conditions.
Li Yang stood in front of the laboratory window, gazing at the mountains in the distance. The morning sun was just beginning to rise, and a faint orange-red hue appeared on the skyline. He took a deep breath, feeling the slight coolness in the air. This was a brand new beginning, he thought.
Turning back to the workbench, Li Yang's eyes fell on the blueprint spread out on the table. It was densely covered with formulas and sketches, and every stroke contained his thoughts on satellite guidance technology. He gently stroked the paper, as if he could feel the infinite possibilities contained in it.
"Mr. Zhang, you're here at the right time." Li Yang looked up at Zhang Guoqiang who had just pushed the door open, with a smile on his face.
Zhang Guoqiang walked quickly to Li Yang, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Mr. Li, I heard you have a new idea?"
Li Yang nodded, pointed to the blueprint on the table and said, "Yes, I think I have found the key to solving the problem of satellite signal reception."
He picked up a pencil and quickly drew a complex circuit diagram on the drawing board. "You see, if we add an adaptive filter here, we can greatly improve the signal's ability to resist interference."
Zhang Guoqiang leaned in to observe carefully, frowning slightly, obviously trying to understand this new concept. Li Yang continued to explain: "This filter can automatically adjust parameters according to the real-time signal quality, ensuring stable signal reception even in complex electromagnetic environments."
Zhang Guoqiang's eyes suddenly lit up. "Great! This way, our missiles can maintain precise guidance in various complex environments."
Li Yang smiled and nodded. "That's right, but this is just the first step. Next, we need to solve the problem of signal processing speed."
He turned and walked to the other end of the laboratory, where a computer was running. The humming sound of the computer was particularly obvious in the quiet laboratory. Li Yang reached out and gently stroked the computer shell, his eyes full of longing.
