Chapter 515: Imitation K-5?
The newspaper’s statement was naturally scorned by the eldest nephews, calling it “the halo of admirers”, “forcibly correct”, “30 years ahead of the curve”, “ignoring the facts” ".
However, in the eyes of many people, this statement has some truth.
As for someone who once interviewed Mr. Gao himself about this matter, Mr. Gao just smiled with a child-like mischievous look on his face: "What do you think?"
——
Regarding the adjustments to the work related to Gao Zhendong and the Security Department, the Third Steel Rolling Plant moved very quickly. Director Zhang had just finished communicating with Gao Zhendong, and soon the notice was posted on the bulletin board.
“Due to work needs…,…from the date of the announcement, Comrade Gao Zhendong will no longer be responsible for the work related to the security department’s training. His position as deputy section chief of the security department’s training section will be assigned to the security department within the security department. Comrade Xie Jianye is also responsible for protecting the Wugu..."
The comrades who passed by saw this and discussed it a bit, but they didn't take it seriously.
"Hey, the factory is finally willing to adjust the work of General Manager Gao in the work training department. Finally, General Manager Gao's burden is not so heavy."
"The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands It’s all meat. If Chief Engineer Gao’s comrade hadn’t come over, I think the security department would be reluctant to let Chief Engineer Gao go.”
"It should have been like this a long time ago. Chief Engineer Gao is hanging on to that position. I think the training section chief will be miserable all day long, haha."
"This Xie Jianye is incredible. I have become the deputy section chief."
"..."
In short, everyone has the same opinion. This matter is normal and should be done. There are no other emotions. It is just an ordinary personnel adjustment. .
Only two people are really happy about it.
One person, naturally, is Xie Jianye himself. This announcement means that he has officially entered the rank that can truly be called a "cadre". Of course, he is still far away from being a "leading cadre", but after all, it has already begun, right? .
For this reason, he also organized a meal at home. Chen Yuehong happily made a large table and invited Gao Zhendong and Wang Dezhu's family to celebrate.
And the other one who is happy, oh, by the way, is the bang.
"Look, what am I talking about? The factory has reduced Gao Zhendong's power again. He is boiling a frog in warm water. He will figure it out slowly. There are experts in the factory."
This The old boy's brain is always used in places it shouldn't be used. How can this kind of thing be related to an expert?
Gao Zhendong didn't know much about this. After the No. 3 Rolling Mill adjusted his security-related work, until the New Year, in addition to his own work, he only participated in one meeting of the Defense Work Committee.
Things in the 17th Machine Department and the 12th Machine Department went smoothly, but he was rarely asked to attend meetings, and there were no meetings to hold.
It’s different here at the National Defense Working Committee. If anything happens, I prefer to bring Gao Zhendong because he has a little bit of everything, materials, energy-containing materials, automatic control, electronic technology, it seems He has a role in everything, and he seems to be able to mix in everything. The key is that the results of mixing are usually pretty good.
This meeting was something Gao Zhendong didn’t expect. It was to demonstrate the work plan for imitating the Lao Maozi K-5 radar air-to-air bomb, which was the Thunder-1 in Gao Zhendong’s previous life. In this time and space, due to the early success of the infrared air-to-air bomb, Was squeezed into Thunderbolt-2.
And the imitation work seems to have been advanced, which may have something to do with Gao Zhendong's butterfly.
The K-5 was introduced together with the predecessor of the 6, the MiG-19. It was introduced relatively early. It was introduced in 1958. The actual decision and imitation was originally made in July 1961.
To be honest, Gao Zhendong is not very interested in the K-5 missile. He knows a little but not much. Mainly because in his previous life, this missile was too old and its performance was too poor. It can only be said to be a trap. It is occupied, but there is no sense of presence.
It can’t be said that we copied this thing poorly. Even though Lao Maozi tore up the agreement, withdrew the experts, and stopped the supply of materials, our comrades basically succeeded in copying it according to the performance of the original version.
The problem with this cartridge is that the original version is rubbish, and even Lao Maozi himself retired it very quickly.
We, too, stopped production very quickly, in 1974. It was only ten years before it was finalized. This was rare in that era. In those days when high-tech weapons were scarce, as long as there was a little It is not used for children, but it is not useless at all. It was discontinued in 1974.
How unpopular is this thing? In Gao Zhendong’s previous life, he was not a slightly more experienced military fan. He didn’t even know about the existence of Thunder-1 missiles. He thought that our air-to-air missiles were similar to fighter jets that started with Zhan-5 and started with Thunder-2. started.
The person responsible for the preliminary work of imitating this thing is also the Guangdong Research Institute, but another team is in charge.
Gao Zhendong is very familiar with the person in charge of infrared bombs at the Institute of Guidance and Research. He is the deputy chief engineer of the Thunderbolt-1 modification. Other comrades, except for the dean and chief engineer who have had some dealings with each other, are not So you are familiar with it, the Institute of Guidance and Research is not a small unit.
But it was obvious that the comrades from the Institute were familiar with him. They had never seen him or at least heard his name. Before the meeting, they even came over to talk to him, the technical consultant of the Institute. Say hello and say Happy New Year.
As Gao Zhendong, who played an important role in the Thunderbolt-1 and served as the deputy chief engineer of modification, and was also taking the course "Principles of Automatic Control" at Beijing University of Technology, in everyone's opinion, His opinions on air-to-air missiles are very important. The meeting began soon. Gao Zhendong sat next to the leader of the National Defense Working Committee, listening to the reports of the comrades from the Guidance and Research Institute, including the chief engineer of the National Defense Working Committee on the other side, with the same expression - not good-looking.
This is not good-looking. It is not directed at the work of the comrades in the Guidance and Research Institute, but directly at the K-5 missile itself.
The comrades in the Air Force also frowned, this thing, tut tut.
If the original comrades of the National Defense Work Committee and the Air Force did not realize how bad Lao Maozi was without comparison, then after the success of Thunderbolt-1, this issue completely surfaced. Out of the water, even if the guidance principles of the two are different, they are theoretically used in two different situations.
After listening to the reports from the comrades of the Guidance and Research Institute, Gao Zhendong decided not to waste everyone's time and let himself be the villain.
Based on his on-site observation, even the comrades at the Institute of Guidance and Research were a little disgusted with this thing, and they felt like they were holding their noses while making reports.
This kind of report Gao Zhendong heard his mentor say in his previous life that he had to bite the bullet and continue doing it even though he knew it was just a lump. After doing it, he simply felt bad all over.
Just after the report was finished, Gao Zhendong was uncharacteristically different from his usual preference of listening to comrades speak first. Gao Zhendong was the first to ask to speak this time.
This shocked other comrades, which is rare. Comrade Gao Zhendong is used to listening to the opinions of other comrades first. This time he spoke so early and took the initiative. It seems that this thing is difficult for him to bear.
The first thing Gao Zhendong said when he came up was: "I don't think we should continue with this project for the time being. We should carefully consider whether we should do the following work."
Come, come, the familiar "tall cannon" is here again.
"Tell me your reasons." The leader of the National Defense Working Committee asked him to explain his reasons, but his tone and expression were "Kill this thing quickly and free the comrades to do other things." "Feeling.
Gao Zhendong did not hesitate: "This bomb has no use. From the perspective of mobility, it can only chase things like large bombers, but from its range, it cannot support it at all. . ”
The K-5 uses a very rare guidance method-radar beam guidance.
This method has completely disappeared in later radar air-to-air bombs. The reason is very simple, it is difficult to use. By the way, Citigroup's AIM-7 Sparrow, the earliest A-type, also has this bird shape. The results are similar to the K-5. Even Citigroup's reaction is faster and the disassembly speed is faster than Lao Maozi's.
The principle of radar beam guidance seems to be similar to that of laser beam guidance. The carrier aircraft emits a beam of radar waves pointed at the target. The missile detects this beam of radar waves through the radar receiving device on the tail of the missile, obtains the deviation, and outputs a control signal to control the missile to fly to the target. .
It looks like the missile is flying all the way on radar waves, so it is called beam guidance.
It looks good, but there is a problem. The directivity of radar waves is simply incomparable to that of lasers, which led to the tragedy of this missile.
Its guidance method and its own mobility determine that it cannot hit high-mobility targets, and can only hit targets such as bombers.
The comrades of the Guidance and Research Institute still have to save it. In any case, this is their job.
"Mr. Gao, after getting the propellant you made, the maximum range of this missile has been expanded from the original 4.5 kilometers to 6 kilometers."
The structure of the K-5 missile is really rare. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are only a few quirks among air-to-air missiles.
Because this thing uses a radar beam guidance method, a radar signal receiving device must be arranged at the tail of the missile. Lao Maozi's habit of "just use it" has had a counterproductive effect here. Its rocket engine and red sword -73 anti-tank missile is the same - in the middle and rear of the missile body, with a lateral nozzle.
This causes part of its thrust to be exerted sideways. Although the symmetrically arranged nozzles can offset each other's lateral thrust to ensure that the missile does not yaw, this part of the thrust is actually wasted.
At this point, K-5 is not as good as Sparrow A.
After the Thunder-1 gets the new propellant, it will naturally consider applying it to the Thunder-2. However, the structure of the Thunder-2 is not only a lateral nozzle, but also shorter and thicker. The increase in range is not much, at least not. The Thunder-1 has a large range.
But this is not the fatal flaw of the K-5/Thunderbolt-2 in terms of range. The real fatal flaw lies in the range collapse caused by the guidance method.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "But the guidance range is still so long, about 3 kilometers, right?"
The comrades from the Guidance Research Institute nodded sheepishly: "Yes, radar It can only be guided so far”
