Chapter 745 Nirvana and Rebirth
The comrade who was engaged in 180 fire opened his notebook and talked about it one by one.
"First of all, the original 180mm rocket launcher was extremely backward in terms of technical and tactical indicators. The main reason for this is that we did not have any relevant technology for long-range rocket launchers. We only mechanically amplified the 130mm rocket launcher to a certain extent, and Very limited changes have been made, but essentially there is no difference in technical and tactical use between the old 180 fire and the 130 fire.”
Everyone knows this. Anyway, the range is 10 kilometers. How big a difference can it make?
"But the situation has changed greatly after the last rocket launcher meeting. The series of technologies brought by Chief Engineer Gao have completely solved the problems of range and accuracy of large-caliber rocket launchers. This 180 rocket launcher is finally a bit of a large-caliber rocket launcher. It looks good, so I We immediately absorbed and digested these new technologies and applied them to the development of the 180-fire. The current 180-fire is a qualified combat-level weapon with a planned range of more than 60 kilometers and an accuracy that can meet the fire suppression requirements."
< br>
Hey, this sounds much more comfortable, and the artillery comrades are also pleased with it. It is 60 kilometers, a range that was unimaginable before. This is larger than the depth of the battle defined now.
"However, the application of these new technologies has completely changed the status of the 180 fire. Let's put it this way, none of the previous research results can be used on the new 180. Oh, it is not accurate to say that. That carrier The launch vehicle can still be used, but the launch support system may not be available.”
Such a big change?
"Aside from the fact that the caliber is still 180mm, the length, weight, rocket structure, rocket motor, missile body stabilization design, orientation device, support system, and even the warhead have all undergone radical changes. It is said that it is a new rocket launcher. Not too much.”
Needless to say, even the simplest warhead, even a high-explosive warhead, is much larger due to changes in projection distance and weight. Regarding this matter, the artillerymen are happy, big is good.
The comrades from the Land Loading Bureau and the Artillery Corps finally got a taste of it.
"Comrade, what do you mean?"
There was no dissatisfaction on the face of the comrade who was engaged in 180 that "Party A wants to change the plan again." Instead, his face was full of eagerness to try: "I mean, in fact, for us now, there is not much difference between doing 180 or 280. Big, all new things..."
Oh, I understand, you, a thick-browed person, also want to have a big one, right?
The artilleryman looked happy, and the Land Loading Bureau still had to consider something else: "The investment in early research..."
180 Fire laughed: "The investment in the old 180 Fire is useless anyway and will definitely be basically abandoned. There is no difference in this. As for the new 180 Fire, we are still in the theoretical calculation and drawing design stage. In fact, The investment is not particularly large and there is no problem.”
As long as the prototype trial production phase has not started, there is not much sunk cost for the current research system.
The artillery comrade couldn't hold himself back: "Hey, I think if the technical and tactical indicators are not good, we should not consider the issue of cost first."
When the Land Installation Bureau heard this, they were horrified. It was the comrades in the army who looked at the problem more realistically. This was the last word. It would be fine if there were no terminally sensitive bombs. 180 would not be unusable, but now that we have this thing, things have changed qualitatively.
The top priority is to maximize the effectiveness of terminally sensitive ammunition.
It can be said that the emergence of terminally sensitive bombs allows long-range rocket launchers, which were originally only responsible for suppression and support, to have precise strike capabilities for the first time and play the role of terminally sensitive bombs. This is more important than anything else.
As long as we can deal a big blow to the enemy's armored clusters at a combat distance, I believe that the comrades in the army can do the rest better.
This does not mean that we cannot survive without this thing. We are not an army that relies solely on equipment to survive. We have subjective initiative. But wouldn't it be better to have better weapons, higher enemy-killing efficiency, and smaller own losses?
Several comrades from the Land Loading Bureau exchanged opinions and turned to the artillery.
"But this will inevitably cause a delay in the equipment of large-caliber rocket launchers. Is this a problem for you?"
Speaking of this, the artilleryman burst into laughter, and what he said was a bit different.
"You should know that originally we could only get 180mm rocket launchers with a range of 10 kilometers, and we had no problems. Now that we can have larger-caliber rocket launchers with a range of 60 kilometers, do you think we can have any problems?"
< br>
These words made all the comrades responsible for equipment work, including 180 Fire, blush. Naturally, the Land Equipment Bureau was also included.
It's embarrassing to talk about this!
If there was no technical support from Chief Engineer Gao, hey... I won't even say it, it's embarrassing to say it.
Seeing them like this, the artillery comrade almost gave himself a big mouth.
Hey, look at you, what nonsense are you talking about? ! ! ! !
In order to ease the embarrassment of other comrades, he said with a smile: "Besides, the new 130 we are working on now has a range far beyond the range of the original large-caliber long-range rocket launcher. With that support, we are actually not in a hurry and would rather work slowly. Go out and get a better, serious large-caliber long-range rocket launcher!”
The planned range of the new 130 is 25 kilometers for standard bombs and 40 kilometers for extended-range bombs. Not to mention this 40 kilometers, even the 25 kilometers for standard bombs can almost catch up with the earliest battle-level depth range. With this confidence, the mentality of artillery comrades is relatively stable and they have enough patience.
The fact is that while the new 130 fire greatly increases the range, it also ensures that the projection weight of a single shot is basically the same as that of the old 180 fire, because this product has a longer warhead!
There is another reason why the artillery is not in a hurry now.
——The earliest 130 and 180 fires have no advantage over the already predetermined 107 fire except for their larger projection weight. The range of those guns is now as high as 12 kilometers! Higher than the old 130 and 180!
Think about those days. Regiment rocket launchers could hit 8 kilometers, division rocket launchers could hit 10 kilometers, and military-level rocket launchers could hit 10 kilometers. It was amazing!
Thinking about it now, the artilleryman is very satisfied.
I still have to thank Comrade Gao Zhendong, who has brought about great changes from body-barrel artillery to rocket launchers. The old comrade is reliable!
So when they knew that the proposal to expand the caliber of the large-caliber rocket launcher was proposed by Gao Zhendong, they made up their minds that Chief Engineer Gao was absolutely right on this matter. It is useless to say anything you say, and it is definitely not as reliable as him.
I want a caliber above 250mm, and I am willing to wait. No one can talk!
When he said this, other comrades also remembered this matter. Yes, the performance of the new 130 has actually far exceeded all the original imagination of long-range rocket launchers. With that support, it will not be in the way!
The Land Loading Bureau finally made the final decision: "Then it's settled. We request the National Defense Work Committee to terminate the research work on the 180mm rocket launcher and change it to 200...to develop a large-caliber rocket launcher. Comrades, this large-caliber rocket launcher What is the caliber? ”
Everyone burst into laughter, and after talking about it for so long, this was not mentioned at all! It made it impossible for the Land Decoration Bureau to make a concluding speech.
In this matter, comrades engaged in rocket launchers have a better say.
"I think, let's increase it by 50% compared to 180, to 270mm. This can not only meet Chief Engineer Gao's requirement of 250mm or more, but also leave a certain amount of redundancy. At the same time, if it is increased by 50%, some of our early calculations and design conversions It is more convenient. After all, some of the research results of New 180 can still be used. ”
The old 180 is completely useless, but the new 180 still has some uses.
Well, this idea is good and makes sense, and other comrades agreed.
When the results of this meeting of the Land Loading Bureau were reported to the Defense Work Committee, the leaders of the Defense Work Committee were happy to see it.
"I still didn't run away. I finally expanded my horizons."
If it were placed in Gao Zhendong's previous life, he would have been evaluated as the "Law of True Fragrance".
The chief engineer of the committee smiled and said: "Gao Zhendong has a better overall grasp of the situation than they do, so he is more thoughtful. It is not surprising that this situation occurs. Gao Zhendong basically guides the terminally sensitive bombs and long-range large-caliber rocket launchers." Appeared, provided directly There are a lot of core technologies, so his suggestions in this area are rarely unreliable. In addition, he is originally from the army. I am afraid that there are people who know what the defense system is thinking better than him. Not much left.”
"Well, indeed. In this way, we agree on this matter. The 180 fire is officially converted to the 270 fire!"
At this point, 180 Fire Nirvana and 270 Fire Rebirth! ——
Gao Zhendong also received a notification from the National Defense Work Committee on this matter, and he has 120 supports. He has long been dissatisfied with the caliber of 180.
Putting this matter aside, he walked towards the reception room.
Today I received a notice from the National Defense Work Committee that a comrade working on the positioning system came to see him to discuss the single-base station positioning system. Now they have arrived.
Is this considered a start? Gao Zhendong was very happy.
After all, compared to triangulation positioning, single base station positioning reduces the failure rate by half, and system infrastructure costs are 30% to 40% lower. In addition, in other applications, the convenience is not doubled, but Exponentially rising.
Moreover, single base station positioning does not have the directional problem of triangulation positioning.
Triangulation positioning is within a certain angle range in the direction of the connection between the two base stations. There are some problems in positioning, such as the generation of back points.
When they arrived at the reception room, the comrades working on the tactical positioning system had already arrived. The leader's surname was Lin. This reminded Gao Zhendong of Lin Lianwei, a guy he hadn't seen in a while.
After the two parties introduced each other and exchanged a few words, they quickly got down to business. After all, everyone's time was limited, so let's get to work first.
