Chapter 742 The first time of terminally sensitive bomb
In fact, our project arrangements are very rational and restrained, and are fully integrated with our actual situation. The sequence and technology inheritance are very thoughtful, and a project often takes on more than one task.
In Gao Zhendong's previous life, although the satellite matter began to be planned and discussed in 1958, we were very scientific and rational and did not blindly rush to launch it. Instead, it was only one year after Miss Qiu left the cabinet that we officially decided to launch the project. The development started after the success of the Zhangu-3 missile with a range of 2,800 kilometers. The first and second stages of the Zhangu-3 were used as the basis to develop the Zhengtu-1 carrier rocket, officially starting the journey of my country's aerospace industry.
The success of Zhengtu-1 has fed back into the development of subsequent models of the Zhangu series of missiles.
This involves both the inheritance and development of technology and the arrangement of funds and resources.
In this world, things are different, but the context is similar. It was also after Miss Qiu came out of the cabinet, and also after the success of liquid missiles. Although the range of this liquid missile is only 1,700 kilometers, many technologies are already new. Technology.
For example, the most typical one is fuel. The 1,700-kilometer missile uses the poisonous fuel that became famous later.
There are many early models of our Zhengtu series rockets using this fuel.
The leaders of the National Defense Work Committee were very interested in the proposal of the Chief Engineer.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Now that both bombs have been successful, we can consider allocating certain personnel, equipment, funds, and resources to this matter."
The chief engineer of the committee smiled and said: "And the first step of this matter is actually already underway."
The leader was surprised: "Huh? Is this happening? Why didn't I know?"
He knew very well that Venezuela had so far not arranged any funds or formal plans for the "one star" matter.
Can we start by bypassing him? He really didn't believe it.
The chief engineer reminded him: "Have you forgotten? In the recent meeting, Gao Zhendong mentioned that one or two types of liquid rocket engines should be demonstrated to be used to power all future liquid ballistic missiles and launch vehicles. This has won everyone's support. Agreed. This matter has now begun, the liquid rocket engine has been demonstrated and is being developed.”
The leader then remembered that there was such a thing. Although it had only served ballistic missiles so far, the need for the use of launch vehicles had been taken into consideration during the demonstration.
"Ah, yes, yes, there is such a thing." After his reminder, the leader immediately remembered it.
"In this way, you can find well-known comrades in the industry and ask them for their opinions on this matter. Their opinions are very important on this matter. If necessary, ask them to make a report."
In terms of grasping the general direction, Gao Zhendong, who is good at solving specific technical problems, is still inferior to his predecessors who have gone through all kinds of hardships to return to China and who have been working hard in this direction for a long time.
"Okay, I'll take care of this right away."
——
On Tuesday, Gao Zhendong came to Beijing University of Technology as usual. Today is his class day.
Nowadays, in addition to the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at Beijing University of Technology, many people know him and many people greet him. However, there is a comrade who greets him today who is quite special. This person came to invite him to see the experiment.
The visitor was Professor Luo, who was waiting for him at the door of Gao Zhendong's office.
"Professor Gao, are there no classes this afternoon?"
Gao Zhendong’s classes are all in the morning, and the afternoons are usually reserved for solving teaching problems and there are no classes.
"No, is something wrong?" Gao Zhendong said excitedly. Professor Luo, you can tell by looking at his expression that something is definitely going to happen.
"That's great. The terminally sensitive bomb will be officially tested in the afternoon. You must come and take a look." Professor Luo stated his purpose. As the initiator and backbone of the terminally sensitive bomb, Gao Zhendong does not have to be away at ordinary times, but for the official test , you must come.
Gao Zhendong nodded excitedly: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely be there."
He was even more excited than Professor Luo about this matter. As long as this thing is formed, it can be said that as long as there are a certain number of high-quality tanks, coupled with a large number of 5DL, plus this thing, no matter how much armor floods the north, We can also relax.
After all, this thing was created by the Oceanic Convention countries under the threat of Lao Maozi's steel torrent, and it was just for this one thing.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Gao Zhendong arrived at the shooting range as scheduled, where Professor Luo and his students were already waiting.
Also with us is Lu Gong from the Institute of Guidance and Research. He is the person in charge of the detection system for terminally sensitive bombs, and he will definitely be there today.
Similarly, there are comrades who work on parachutes, also from the Guidance and Research Institute.
In addition to them, there are the comrades of the Land Installation Bureau. They have also been looking forward to this thing for a long time. The tactical flexibility of this thing and its pertinence to armored forces are really too strong.
Therefore, the comrades of the Land Loading Bureau were even divided into two groups, one for artillery and one for armor, one was responsible for fighting, and the other was responsible for being beaten...
In fact, this thing can be installed in far more places than artillery. Seeing Gao Zhendong's arrival, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he's here, it's almost time to start.
However, today's test was not at the shooting range of Beijing University of Technology. This shooting range was a bit small and did not meet the needs of all tests.
Professor Luo called everyone, got in the car, and went to the training ground of the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing, which was a more open place.
Hey, if you had told me earlier, I could just take the car and come here directly. Gao Zhendong brought his own car, and also brought two comrades from other units with him.
When we arrived at the ground, another group of students and staff were already ready.
Since it is a formal test, the test environment conditions must be completely consistent with the official test. Professor Luo's test design was very thorough and did not use a sprinkler to replace the artillery. In that case, some items would not be tested.
Several 120mm mortars were used to launch terminally sensitive bombs, which were copied from Laomaozi PM-43 in 1955.
This is almost the limit that can accommodate 110mm terminally sensitive ammunition. Except for the weird 114mm gun brought by John Bull due to the unit system, this is the minimum caliber that meets the requirements.
Although the G value of a mortar is not as good as a howitzer or other barrel artillery, it is still not bad compared to a rocket launcher. Being able to withstand the acceleration of a mortar means that it can at least be used on a rocket launcher.
It's not like Professor Luo hasn't considered using two 122-meter cannons for fun, but the testing of those things is much more troublesome than mortars.
The mortar reduces the charge to a large elevation angle, and the range can be very close, which is extremely beneficial for testing. Basically, the launch point and the target area can be on the same site, and the 122 grenade is relatively good in this regard. difficulty.
At the same time, using mortars can basically test the entire process of terminally sensitive bombs from launch to release, deployment, search, and attack. The test results also have good guiding significance for other methods including barrel artillery.
Gao Zhendong looked at the mortar terminally sensitive bomb with interest. It looked similar to ordinary mortar shells, except that ordinary mortar shells were in the shape of jujube pits, but the shape of this bomb had the middle cylindrical part longer. , because the terminally sensitive bomb is a slightly longer cylinder.
Professor Luo introduced to Gao Zhendong: "Each mortar shell contains a terminally sensitive bomb. If two of them are installed, the aerodynamic shape will be greatly damaged, the weight will be large, and the range attenuation will be serious. 122 can be designed, and it can Install two.”
This is where he regrets that the experiment was not satisfying enough.
In the target area two or three kilometers ahead, several different types of vehicles are scattered there, including the meritorious tanks from the S2 era of Lao Maozi, the nearly scrapped Citigroup military trucks, and the Little Devil's Bean tanks. Well, this thing is treated as an armored vehicle here, not a tank.
The vehicle has been started, and a little sound can be heard vaguely from a distance. At this time, the engine noise issue was considered, but not much.
Not to mention this time, the engine noise of John Bull's 21st century infantry fighting vehicle can drive their soldiers crazy. Of course, it is also possible that their soldiers are looking for reasons to evade military service. From the government to the army to individuals, John Bull has many tricks.
Professor Luo was in high spirits and picked up the radio microphone.
"Attention, each team, conduct a final inspection and then evacuate to a safe area."
Reports from various test teams came from the radio. This was a long-range weapon, and the personnel were naturally scattered everywhere like pepper noodles.
While receiving the reports from each group, the testers carefully checked the forms, and finally raised their heads and said to Professor Luo: "Deputy Chief Luo, all instruments and equipment are normal, and all groups have been evacuated to safe areas."
"Get ready to launch." Professor Luo gave the order.
"One shot ready!" the mortar platoon commander shouted, and according to the plan, he tried one shot first.
A 120-gun shooter grabbed a shell and placed it at the muzzle.
Professor Luo nodded to the mortar platoon commander.
The commander shouted: "Let go!"
As soon as the mortar shooter loosened his grip, the shell slid down, making a "ding-bang" sound, and the shell flew out.
Although the distance was very close, the mortar fired a high trajectory and still flew in the air for a short while. Everyone looked at the sky intently.
Not long after, there was a crisp sound of "pop" in the air, and a bit of white smoke rose hundreds of meters above the ground. A black and white flower appeared in everyone's field of vision, spinning and falling. Everyone with telescopes immediately jumped up. Lift it up and look into the air.
“The opening height of the umbrella is normal!”
Unlike anti-ship missiles, terminally sensitive missiles have an extremely compact structure. When equipped with a formal warhead, it is impossible to install a telemetry data transmission device, but comrades have many ways.
