Chapter 77: Launch Matrix
"Yi, this is something the Chief sent urgently to deliver to you."
Li Sisi walked into Guo Yi's office carrying a rectangular package and asked curiously, "What is this? Why would the Chief send his communications officer here so urgently?"
"This is my overtime pay."
Guo Yi took the package, unpacking it as he complained, "If it doesn't meet my expectations, I'm not taking this shift!"
Logically, the top leader chose to have him review the teaching materials before working on the low-altitude airspace control system.
However, it also allowed him to do preliminary preparations during his spare time while reviewing the teaching materials...
To put it bluntly, it's just making him work overtime.
Therefore, the words given to him by the top leader became his overtime pay.
"Pillars of the nation!?"
Upon seeing the vigorous and powerful calligraphy, Guo Yi couldn't help but grin from ear to ear, but he pretended to be calm and boasted to Li Sisi, "Well, it's passable, I guess."
"They were all smiling broadly, but it was still barely bearable."
Li Sisi rolled her eyes at Guo Yi, then excitedly said, "I'm going to find a frame to hang it up!"
This calligraphy can at least guarantee the livelihood of four generations of our family!
"Go on, go on, I need to get back to work."
Guo Yi waved his hand and then continued to bury himself in reviewing the dry and boring teaching materials.
While Guo Yi was busy, onlookers from all over the country, those who enjoyed slacking off, those with a keen interest, keyboard warriors in internet cafes, and anyone with free time flocked to the live stream room in the war zone.
Because the war zone was broadcasting live the groundbreaking ceremony for an electromagnetic sled launch site.
The reason it is so attractive is that it is different from what the public thought: the public thought that the five theater commands would each select their own sites and build their own dedicated launch sites, but in reality, the launch sites of the five theater commands are all concentrated in the same area and are under construction simultaneously.
For this reason, this launch site is more appropriately called a national-level electromagnetic skid launch matrix than a single launch site.
The second reason is that this is the first time that engineering mechs have been publicly constructed. Many people have almost never seen such a futuristic steel infrastructure scene, which immediately piqued their curiosity.
"The security is really tight..."
The live stream showed a bird's-eye view, so viewers could clearly see that the launch matrix site was surrounded by a smart perimeter fence, leaving only four undefended entrances and exits.
Because, in front of the entrance and exit, there was not a road, but a military camp in the field that was out of the view.
In addition, viewers also saw many black dots swimming outside the smart security barrier.
Obviously, those black spots must be self-disciplined dogs on duty around the clock, armed to the teeth.
Within the launch matrix, heavy engineering mech clusters from the five major war zones were deployed across the board. Five distinct steel legions divided their territories and raced simultaneously, each taking root in the vast wilderness and independently constructing electromagnetic sled launch sites that were unique to their respective war zones and adapted to different strategic purposes.
White Tiger Theater: High-speed, lightweight conventional launch site.
The sturdy, silver-gray heavy engineering mech, like an old ox, pulls a giant hydraulic roller to compact the barren soil layer by layer, tamping, squeezing, and shaping the soft surface.
Meanwhile, the three-dimensional laser leveling device mounted on its shoulder continuously scans the surroundings, calibrating every inch of height difference with millimeter precision. It is determined to forge the surface of their construction area into a flat, dense, and stable giant integrated steel plate, laying a solid foundation for high-frequency, lightweight conventional catapult launches.
Qinglong Theater: Deep-based heavy-load giant launch site.
Within the construction area of the Qinglong war zone, clusters of dark green heavy engineering mechs are arrayed deep within the battlefield and operating in an orderly manner.
The giant excavator boom rises and falls like the wind, its sharp crushing claws tearing through the surface rock and soil. Hard Gobi gravel is easily crushed and peeled off by mechanical brute force, and then quickly removed from the site by fully automated transfer robots.
In order to accommodate the giant electromagnetic energy storage compartment, heavy-duty buffer base and other core heavy equipment, and to build the core foundation with the strongest load-bearing capacity in the entire matrix, ensuring the absolute safety of the catapult launch of super-heavy equipment, the dark green mech cluster continued to dig downwards, the fuselage gradually disappearing into the deep foundation pit and disappearing on the horizon.
Zhuque Theater: Precision Superconducting Intelligent Launch Site.
The fully red precision engineering mecha hovers at low altitude for fixed-point operations. Its slender and agile multi-axis robotic arm is as stable as a rock, without the slightest vibration or deviation throughout the entire process. It precisely embeds high-temperature superconducting cables, high-precision induction coils, intelligent temperature control pipelines, and encrypted signal lines into the ground according to micron-level standards.
At the same time, an integrated superconducting shielding layer is laid out synchronously throughout the entire area to completely isolate external electromagnetic interference and eliminate fatal hidden dangers such as magnetic field disorder, thrust imbalance, and signal deviation from the root. It is the core intelligent launch site with the highest precision and strongest anti-interference in the entire launch matrix.
Xuanwu War Zone: Fortress-style blast-proof firing range.
Located on the outermost edge of the matrix, the Xuanwu Battle Zone serves as a security barrier for the entire electromagnetic launch matrix. Dark, heavy, fortress-like engineering mechs stand tall, exuding a calm and solemn aura.
The giant lifting robotic arm steadily lifts up ultra-high strength composite armor modules and high-temperature resistant and impact-resistant ceramic modules, precisely aligns and locks them in place, stacking them layer by layer to form a closed-loop protective barrier.
For special curved structures such as irregularly shaped flow channels and shock wave relief channels, the mech uses micron-level dynamic shaping to overcome the differences in thermal expansion and contraction coefficients of different materials, ensuring that each protective module fits perfectly and tightly.
Simultaneously, high-temperature exhaust channels and multi-level buffer explosion-proof structures were excavated to specifically resist the risks of ultra-high temperature airflow, powerful shock waves, and equipment failure generated by high-frequency catapults, ensuring the safety of all high-risk operations for the entire launch matrix.
Qilin Theater: A comprehensive launch hub covering the entire region.
The integrated launch site, located at the very center of the five major war zones, is the brain of the entire electromagnetic launch matrix and the core of the entire project. Therefore, the construction here is the most complex and complicated.
Because the engineering mecha cluster needs to carry out multiple processes simultaneously, such as foundation hardening, precision wiring, central hub construction, and interface adaptation, while taking into account the high efficiency of the White Tiger, the heavy load-bearing capacity of the Azure Dragon, the precision and stability of the Vermilion Bird, and the ultimate protection of the Black Tortoise.
To this end, the Qilin Engineering Mech Cluster needs to smooth out the differences in infrastructure standards, electromagnetic parameters, and operational timing among the other four war zones one by one, and build a global intelligent dispatch center and a cross-regional data communication system.
On the one hand, it adapts in advance to the joint operation system of the four major war zones, avoids electromagnetic interference and airspace conflicts of multiple simultaneous catapult launches, and lays a solid core foundation for the whole matrix to achieve unified scheduling, coordinated launch and full-domain linkage.
Surrounded by onlookers, a national-level electromagnetic skid launching matrix, featuring a mix of high and low configurations, light and heavy designs, complementary speeds, and comprehensive safety features, is advancing at a visible pace.
