Chapter 783 Nanyang’s trump card (first update, please subscribe)
An exhibition showed the strength of Nanyang’s aviation industry to the world. When the F-1B fighter jet broke through the sound barrier, the whole world thought that this was the limit of Nanyang's aviation industry, at least to a certain extent. Of course, in the face of Nanyang's aviation industry that shocked the world one after another, Many people attribute it to the "legacy of the Third Reich."
"The scientific achievements of Nanyang are just the technological heritage of the Third Reich!"
Faced with such rhetoric from the outside world, Of course Nanyang has no explanation, because...those people are also Nanyang people, and they have no idea what kind of shock the Nanyang people will bring to the world.
On this day, when the excitement of the exhibition was still gone, a motorcade drove into Wanhujiao, and soon the motorcade went straight to the launch site on the seaside.
After the convoy arrived at the launch site, Li Yian took a look at the missile towering on the launcher in front of him when he got out of the car.
"Is this a Type 4 missile?"
There is no need to hide it now. It's about peaceful use of atomic energy or exploration of the universe. It's just a demonstration. Now that the atomic bombs in Nanyang have been released, there is no need to hide anything anymore.
A missile is a missile.
Li Yian asked directly.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Eugene said, pointing to the missile.
“Compared with Type III, its rocket engine has stronger thrust. When Dr. Konrader tried to expand the combustion chamber, he encountered the problem of unstable combustion. Later, in order to overcome this problem, he The decision was made to divide the combustion chamber into four smaller combustion chambers, fed by a common turbopump, which solved the problem..."
The Dr. Conzel mentioned by Eugene is the current Nanyang rocket engine It is under his leadership that a number of rocket engines have been developed and a group of Nanyang's own rocket engine engineers have been trained.
Listening to Eugene's explanation, Li Yian walked closer and took a closer look. The missile's launch box and four smaller combustion chambers formed the rocket engine. Then he turned his gaze upwards. He asked, looking at the joint between the warhead and the projectile body.
"Is the upper stage a second-stage rocket?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, in order to increase its hit accuracy, we developed a second-stage rocket. When the first-stage fuel is exhausted, After that, the second stage ignites and separates from the first stage at the same time, which not only increases the range, but also greatly improves its accuracy because there is no missile interference..."
The reason why it will be held just after New Year's Day On the third day of the trip, I came to Wanhujiao, just for this big guy. Although its range is only 3,500 kilometers, which is not up to the standard of an intercontinental missile, and is even a bit too high to be low, it can have a range. The medium-range missile that exceeded 3,000 kilometers was beyond Li Yian's expectations.
But at this time, Li Yian was not only concerned about its range, but another issue.
“So, do you have any plans for the rocket of the “Companion Plan”?”
When raising this question, Li Yian didn't even notice that his voice was even a little nervous.
Because, it’s 52 years now!
Not 57 years!
It can be a rocket that sends satellites into space, or it can be a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile that sends a nuclear warhead weighing several tons to tens of thousands of kilometers away.
It's just that the uses are different. The reason why we are so excited is, to put it bluntly, it is because of it that Nanyang truly has the nuclear counterattack capability.
Moreover, with its help, Nanyang can also send artificial satellites into space!
“The draft has come out, using a bundled type, the rocket structure is cross-shaped, the central main rocket and the four booster rockets are based on the A12 four-chamber rocket engine and corresponding modifications...”< br>
Eugene introduced the plan while showing the sketch of the plan. Looking at this sketch of the plan that was a little familiar and a little unfamiliar, Li Yian's eyes were slightly longing,
Two years When he proposed the strap-on rocket plan, it was just an idea, but now these engineers have turned his idea into a reality.
Finally, he looked at Eugene and asked with an expectant tone.
"Is the draft finalized?"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Eugene nodded vigorously. The dream of flying into the sky that started in Peenemünde will finally be fulfilled in his It became a reality in my hands.
"Then...let's begin!"
When he started speaking, Li Yian even licked his lips involuntarily. While they were talking, an engineer next to him looked at the sketch from time to time. He even walked past the drawing frame.
A few hours later, a Wanhu Type IV "rocket" soared into the sky as people watched.
After the missile accurately hit the target 3,500 kilometers away, Li Yian did not return to Chang'an immediately, but stayed in Wanhujiao to learn about the progress of other projects. Although Wanhujiao is the aerospace center of Nanyang, the experiments conducted here are not limited to exploring space. It is also the missile research and development center of Nanyang, and anti-aircraft missiles are also one of the projects.
Due to the many projects being developed, the entire security zone is divided into seventeen areas. There are factories, research institutions, and of course various test sites in these areas, so they are conducted every day. conducting various experiments.
The Thirteenth District is an area that specializes in developing anti-aircraft missiles. Although Nanyang's demand for anti-aircraft missiles is not that strong.
But Li Yi'an really wanted to know how vulnerable Nanyang, with several cities at its core, was in the face of nuclear weapons.
Under this situation, the development of air defense missiles and even anti-ballistic missile technology has become an inevitable choice. However, judging from the current research progress, it seems that the progress is not very big.
“Our air defense missile is improved on the basis of the "Daughter of the Rhine". In addition to improving the aerodynamic layout, the biggest improvement is that its guidance method is changed from radio command to semi-active radar homing..."< br>
As the chief engineer of the "Daughter of the Rhine" air defense missile, Kramer will inevitably use it as a basis in the process of developing air defense missiles. But despite this, he still seemed very proud, because after several years of development, the anti-aircraft missiles in front of him have undergone radical changes. Not only the guidance method has changed, but even the acoustic fuze of the warhead has been changed to a radio proximity fuze. , the application of a series of new technologies has made it increasingly mature.
Looking at the air defense missile in front of me that looks somewhat similar to the SAM 2 missile, after briefly understanding its performance, I looked at the ten-meter long missile on the anti-aircraft gun launcher. Missile, Li Yian asked.
"Would such a large missile be too bulky?"
It seems that this aspect also needs to be accelerated.
“It’s not bulky, that’s what it should be.”
Cramer replied directly. In his opinion, missiles should be this big. When they were in Germany, they even used a smaller version of the V2 missile to develop anti-aircraft missiles.
"What I mean is, is there any way to compress its size? Well, the bullet length should be controlled within five meters. As for the bullet diameter, control it between 40 and 41 centimeters. It is so small. Only with modernized missiles can they be installed on warships. Yes, warships also need anti-aircraft missiles.”
After listening to your request, Kramer said directly.
"41 cm, such a small space cannot fit the guide head at all! Its guide head diameter is 68 cm!"
"Then find a way to shrink it, now Integrated circuits have been invented, try to combine them together.”
Nanyang’s electronic technology is still very advanced and should be properly utilized. Li Yian said directly.
"Such a big guy will definitely not be able to get on a warship. What Nanyang needs is surface-to-air missiles that can be used by both land and sea, and even missiles that can be used by all three services. After all, our army is limited in size. So, at least Only in this way can the purchase volume be increased to achieve common use for the army and navy. ”
While emphasizing that the landing is universal for the navy, Li Yian pointed to the exposed missile and said.
“There is also the weather in Nanyang. The weather in Nanyang is hot and rainy. The missile is exposed and the electronic components are bound to be affected. This will definitely affect the reliability of the missile. In this case, is it okay? Put it in a box..."
As Li Yian said, he took out his notepad and drew a simple sketch.
Combining the storage box and the launch tube is more conducive to the long-term storage of the missile, especially in the high temperature and rainy environment of Southeast Asia. Sealed storage and transportation boxes can ensure that missile electronic components will not be affected by moisture, thus affecting their performance - this is the experience of the US military in Vietnam.
And this kind of launch trailer will give it a certain degree of maneuverability. If it is a fixed position, enemy aircraft can easily avoid it by turning around outside its range.
Even the appearance of the missile was drawn by Li Yian himself. The missile overall looked somewhat similar to the Phoenix air-to-air missile from another world.
When Li Yian drew a sketch of the missile and launch vehicle, he submitted it to Cramer When he was there, he looked at the sketch and wondered.
“This, can this work?”
“Believe me, it will definitely work.”
Li Yian looks like no one knows missiles better than me , this is the fact, he not only understands, but he also understands far beyond the times,
After that, he looked at Kramer and the other engineers in the project team and said.
“Although under a nuclear balance, war may never break out, we must consider another possibility – once a war breaks out, it will definitely be devastating!”
"Under certain circumstances, the current urbanization in Nanyang is also extremely dangerous. Under the premise of nuclear war, once the enemy's long-range bombers break through the air defense, they can carry out a devastating blow to our cities, and anti-aircraft missiles are the only way to avoid this The last line of defense when such a situation occurs.”
Although I know that the possibility of a war breaking out is...zero, there are some things that still need to be said.
“In short, the safety of the 46 million people in Nanyang depends on you!”
