We investigate the Ne-like Cr x-ray laser at 28.6 nm by using a modified 1D lagrangian hydrodynamic code MED103 coupled with an atomic physics data package and a 2D ray tracing code as a post-processor. The laser pumping configuration includes two prepulses and one main pulse. The first prepulse normally irradiates the target,while the second prepulse and the main pulse irradiate the target at grazing-incident angles. We predict that saturation can be achieved for the Ne-like Cr x-ray lasers with a total pumping energy of 125 mJ. Good beam qualities with no deflecting angle and a small divergence angle of 5 mrad are observed.
