Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1356 Red Flag 61
Wang Xuexin directly gave the blueprint of the domestic Hongqi 61 air defense missile.

Hongqi 61 is the first anti-aircraft missile developed by China in the 60s.

But that's because China's technology is relatively backward in developing missiles. Both Yingjiang and Maoxiong have developed various missiles, including air defense missiles, within a few years after the war.

(Note: After Eagle Sauce and Maoxiong got the missile technology from Hans, the former developed the Beagle air defense missile in 50, and the latter developed the Sam 48 air defense missile in 1)

Wang Xuexin said: "This is my drawing after combining the opinions of Yingjiang and Maoxiong technicians. Comrades, let's see if there is anything that needs to be added!"

This is of course Wang Xuexin's excuse. The blueprint was actually bought from the system.

Everyone stared at the blueprint for a while, and couldn't help but look at each other. They couldn't understand it at all, let alone put forward their opinions.

Wang Xuexin simply pointed to the drawing and introduced:
"Its internal structure is in order from front to back: the front proximity fuze, the autopilot cabin, the steering gear cabin, the warhead in the middle section, and the rocket engine in the rear section!"

"Rocket propellant, just use the one called...tetrahydrofuran plus aluminum powder!"

Wang Xuexin turned his attention to Professor Su.

Professor Su nodded. This is the latest solid fuel developed by the Missile Research Laboratory... Compared with liquid fuel, solid fuel has the advantages of high safety, short launch preparation time, and convenient transportation. Especially, solid fuel can be installed in the missile for a long time. The interior is transported together with the missile body, but the liquid fuel has to be filled before the battle, which is much more convenient than liquid fuel.

But of course, the formula of this solid fuel called tetrahydrofuran plus aluminum powder was also given by Wang Xuexin.

If this formula is developed by Professor Su and others, it will take a few years at least, because they have to find the right thing to add a plasticizer, and then they need to go through tens of thousands of experiments to make the ratio optimal.

But for Wang Xuexin, this is nothing more than what he can get by spending a few million military industrial coins... Wang Xuexin used to think that millions of military industrial coins were expensive, but after spending hundreds of millions in a row, he felt that several million were nothing. Small money, bought it without blinking an eye and threw it to Professor Su.

"The warhead uses TNT!" Wang Xuexin said: "Our missile is small, and the warhead is not big. It must be loaded with high explosives to work!"

Although TNT was a relatively advanced explosive that the Eighth Route Army could not produce during this period, the Eighth Route Army did not lack this stuff.

The reason is that the devil's shells are loaded with this kind of explosive, which is what the Eighth Route Army often calls yellow gunpowder.

The Eighth Route Army often captured devil shells in battles with devils, but there were no guns to use, or the shells were of the wrong type, so they simply dismantled the shells and took out this kind of high explosive to make explosive packs.

In the beginning, people were killed because they didn’t know the power of this kind of explosives... During the siege, soldiers of the Eighth Route Army buried about 100 kilograms of TNT under the city wall, and then the engineers just kept away a little, thinking that they had reached a very safe distance And detonated, as a result, ten Eighth Route Army soldiers who planted explosives were blown up without a trace.

Now that the war has been fought, the Eighth Route Army has seized quite a few shells from the devils. If they need TNT, they can get them from these shells, and if they don't have enough, they can buy them from Mao Xiong.

But He Zhimin stared at the blueprint in a daze, and moved his fingers while looking at it, just like a fortune teller's "pinching and counting".

After a while, He Zhimin raised his head and said to Wang Xuexin: "Regimental Commander, this warhead can only hold 40 kilograms of gunpowder at most, right?"

Wang Xuexin said inwardly, this guy was able to calculate the volume of the warhead just by looking at the drawings, and then calculate the weight of the charge from the density of TNT, and he did mental calculations, as expected, he had two brushes.

Wang Xuexin hesitated for a while pretending to be uncertain, and replied: "It's about 40 kilograms! The whole bomb... should be more than 300 kilograms. If it is too big, it will affect the flying speed!"

He Zhimin shook his head and said, "Commander, I don't think this missile is good enough!"

"What's the problem?" Wang Xuexin asked.

He Zhimin explained: "First of all, the warhead is not at the front of the missile but in the middle, and what we installed is a proximity fuze, which means... there is still a certain distance from the target when the intercepting missile explodes. Got it wrong?"

"Understood!" Wang Xuexin nodded: "It is almost impossible for an intercepting missile to directly hit the target. After all, both are high-speed flying things. We can only ask it to be as close as possible to the target!"

"This is the problem!" He Zhimin said: "If there is a certain distance from the target and there is only 40 kilograms of charge, it will instantly generate a shock wave after it explodes... The target is flying in the air. Yes, we can also understand that the target is only shaken away by the impact of the instantaneous airflow, so... the shock wave alone may not be enough to kill or damage the target."

"What about shrapnel?" Professor Su asked: "Is it feasible for us to install prefabricated shrapnel inside the warhead?"

"It's also very difficult for shrapnel to cause substantial damage to the target!" He Zhimin said: "Take a missile as an example, a large part of the missile body is the flight cavity used to accommodate people, as well as the warhead, control system and engine! Unless the shrapnel kills the devil pilot, or happens to damage the control system, it won't do much, even if it hits the engine!"

Chen Jiefeng asked suspiciously: "Why is it useless to hit the engine?"

"Xiao Chen!" Professor Su explained: "If the enemy's missiles have already flown to the range that our army's missiles can intercept, it should be the last dozen kilometers. If the engine is not exhausted and is hit by shrapnel and cannot work, the missile can still rely on inertia to fly to the target!"

Chen Jiefeng understood it with an "oh", and immediately wrote it down in the small notebook on his knee.

This is because Chen Jiefeng's military knowledge is relatively weak. If he wants to participate in this research and development project, he must supplement some military knowledge.

He Zhimin then added: "In fact, it's not just that hitting the engine won't have much effect, hitting the devil pilot or even the control system probably won't work!"

Everyone in the meeting room couldn't help but nodded.

Obviously, if the target missile is already in the dive phase, its flight speed will increase to a speed close to 600 kilometers per hour, and a dozen kilometers is more than a minute for it.

What if the pilot was killed and injured during this minute or so?What if the control system is broken?The missile will continue to fly or fall in the direction of the target under the effect of inertia.

Of course, Wang Xuexin has considered this issue. He smiled slightly and said, "What if we use a continuous thin-rod warhead?"
