Chapter 604 Rocket and Missile Research and Development Laboratory
After finishing this part, let's talk about another major project category of the R&D center.Specifically, let’s talk about the various projects under the Rocket and Missile Research and Development Laboratory.First of all, with this laboratory, the natal rocket is the rocket, and the missile is the missile department.Later, for the convenience of management, Jiang Chen directly merged these two departments into a weapon that specializes in research and development using rocket engines as power.

First of all, the first major part of this laboratory is the development of rockets.The previous main achievement was the development of the 120mm rocket launcher and the 80mm rocket launcher.Now in this regard, technical personnel have also made great progress.The first is about the continued development of these two rocket launchers. Through their efforts, the researchers have developed a new rocket engine and fuel formula, which makes the upgraded rocket, under the same weight, because the thrust is more powerful. The large engine and new fuel formula make the rocket fly farther, hit more accurately, and have greater power.Moreover, the R&D personnel have also developed several new types of ammunition, which are convenient for soldiers to use and choose.

And the second is that rocket engineers and researchers are not satisfied with the current small rockets.They are gradually groping for advanced, bigger, farther rockets, making research breakthroughs.So far, there has been considerable progress.They successfully developed a rocket with a caliber of [-] mm, and this rocket did not live up to their expectations, flying directly for more than ten kilometers.Jiang Chen was very happy about this, and asked them to continue research and development, striving to develop a rocket with a longer range.The rocket R&D engineers present were a little unhappy when they heard Jiang Chen's words, because he originally thought that with this achievement, Jiang Chen would take care of them and let them prepare for R&D and production.However, Jiang Chen didn't think so, even though he was also interested in this kind of rocket and wanted to put it into development and production.However, this kind of rocket is bulky, heavy, and has a long range, so it must no longer be transported with simple tools.A vehicle with an off-road load capacity that can meet the requirements must be used as a carrier.And now the automobile factory on the western company side has begun to research and develop this truck, but it is still a long way from success.This is why Jiang Chen wanted them to continue researching, but not to show it.

Another big category of Rocket and Missile Lab is this missile.Missiles are dependent on the development of rocket technology.Only when rocket technology is developed can missile technology be improved accordingly.With the development of rocket technology, the research and development of missiles here has also made great progress.

At present, the missiles here are divided into two categories, namely anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles. Of course, they are all individual types.Let’s talk about this anti-tank missile first. With the launch of new rockets, the introduction of new formulas into experiments, and the introduction of new alloy materials, the performance of this missile has made great progress in all aspects.For example, the range, accuracy, and reliability have all been greatly improved.In addition, the weight of the entire missile and reflection system is greatly reduced.This is also more due to the technological breakthroughs in the electronic components research and development laboratory, which makes the missile's electronic equipment and optical observation instruments lighter in weight and smaller in size.And correspondingly, because of these changes, the overall missile system is even better.Jiang Chen also believed that when this missile was displayed at the defense exhibition at the end of the year, the visitors were amazed.

Then there are anti-aircraft missiles, which should be emphasized.The first is the previous individual air defense missile. The development of this missile was also very tortuous, but fortunately it succeeded in the end, and achieved very good results.And this achievement is not only domestic, but also international.The first is at home.The Science and Industry Committee above the army used this missile to conduct live ammunition shooting experiments.Through all aspects of the test, have achieved very good results.In terms of various data, it is ahead of another domestic missile of the same period, that is, the Hongying [-] individual air defense missile series.However, considering that this model has been exported, it is not conducive to domestic equipment.All the above require Jiang Chen and the others to develop an upgraded version of it on the basis of this, and use it for the equipment work of relevant domestic units.

And the entire R&D team came up with new samples in a very short period of time.The new missile uses a new rocket engine and a new fuel formula.And because of the help of the electronic components laboratory and the optical research and development laboratory, the guidance of this missile has been greatly improved.Even in some respects, it has surpassed the old beauty's 'stinger'.After the new samples were successfully developed, they all achieved very good results after rigorous testing by various departments, and were appreciated by leaders at all levels.And it will be approved for production soon, and then it will be installed in the troops.But for Jiang Chen and the others, they did not get any benefits. Except for some orders, Jiang Chen and the others followed the requirements and handed over the relevant technical materials for storage and put them into production in other factories. .This is the need of national defense and security. Although Jiang Chen is very helpless, he has no choice but to obey the overall situation.

However, there are still compensations, such as some pitifully small bonuses. Of course, this is for Jiang Chen, but according to ordinary people, it is already a large amount.With the current tight financial situation, it is not easy to approve such a bonus.Then the second is honor, from the entire R&D team, Dao Jiangchen, and the leaders of Dao Factory, all have a share.As the supervisor in this area, he also received a rare honorary award.Although Jiang Chen didn't know what the honors he received were of any use.But whenever he sees those certificates of honor and medals in the display cabinet in his office, it's also good.At least their golden light still looks very local.

Although the upgraded model of this air defense missile has been installed in the domestic army, this means that it cannot be exported.But this won't bother Jiang Chen and the others, or in other words, arms dealers.Since it can't be exported, then export one that can be exported, such as this castrated version.Although it is not as good as the upgraded missile equipped by domestic troops, it is much stronger than the original air defense missile, and it can fully meet the competitive sales needs of the international market.And the Science and Industry Committee and the army will not trouble Jiang Chen and the others because of this. They also know that Jiang Chen and the others also have to eat, so as long as they do not violate the rules and do not affect the national defense security, the others will turn a blind eye. eye on the line.
