Great warships

Chapter 116 Discussion of Vertical Hair System

The corresponding cannon frame was processed immediately, and Qin Tao and Zhao Ling came to the side of the sample cannon being tested.

From the appearance point of view, the upper part is exactly the same as Lao Maozi's AK630, and the lower part is directly fixed on the gun position for test firing. There is no cover below, and the bomb supply system exposed there can be seen. Those bullet chains with metallic luster spiraled up like a python.

"We used to study the 637 naval gun before, and encountered some problems at that time. Now, seeing the structure of this 630 naval gun, we were immediately enlightened. If our project resumes, we will definitely be able to bid for our brother units." Xia Bei said.

Gatling machine guns have not been produced and used in large numbers in China, so when they were built, everyone crossed the river by feeling the stones. If there is a sample gun, it will be much easier.

At this time, Qin Tao nodded after hearing Xia Bei's words: "Yes, what we lack is a sample. If we have a sample, we can even make a vertical launch system for missiles."

Zhao Ling's eyes suddenly brightened.

Before being the military representative of Mingzhou Shipyard, Zhao Ling was in charge of testing ship-to-air missiles. When the huge cylindrical launcher appeared in front of Qin Tao, Qin Tao almost fell down laughing.

She was also annoyed at the time, but when Qin Tao simply offered them a plan to fold the wings, Zhao Ling's attitude towards Qin Tao changed. Qin Tao is a man who can create miracles. can come up with simple solutions to problems they encounter.

What Qin Tao said now is actually very urgent.

The launch method of ship-borne missiles has been converted from an inclined launcher to a launcher, and then to a vertical launcher.

In 1980, the first ship of Lao Maozi's 1144 large nuclear-powered cruiser, the Kirov, was officially put into service. This warship was equipped with 12 S-8F missile vertical launch systems with 300 units and 96 ammunition, becoming the world's first A surface combat ship officially equipped with a missile vertical launch system, earlier than the Yankees. The famous MK-41 missile vertical launch system was only equipped on the sixth Ticonderoga-class cruiser in 1986. The cruiser between, Ordinary double-mounted launchers are used.

However, the Yankees came from behind. When the MK-41 vertical launch system appeared, it was one level ahead of Lao Maozi, because this vertical launch system is universal and can be inserted into various missiles. is exclusive.

"Vertical launch system for missiles?" Xia Bei's gaze was full of anticipation: "Qin Gong, tell me, which one is better, the cold launch of the old man or the hot launch of the United States?"

In the two launch systems, apart from the different shapes, a round shape of a revolver and a square shape like Tetris, there are also differences in the way of launch.

Lao Maozi has always used cold launch. The missile is pushed out from the launch tube by high-pressure air, and it will only ignite when it flies up to a height of more than ten meters.

Therefore, watching the launch of the S-300 missile, there was a bang, and the huge missile slowly climbed up like a snail. Then, the engine at the tail was ignited, and with a whoosh, the missile went out like a monkey jumping into the sky.

The Americans use heat to launch. In the silo, the missile is already ignited. The air wave billows and the flame rises. The missile is ignited and takes off directly from the silo. The flame can cover the entire launch device, which looks even more spectacular.

"In terms of reaction speed, thermal emission has an advantage. In terms of structural complexity, cold emission is simpler, and there is no need to set up complicated gas removal channels. Therefore, at the initial stage, we still start research from cold emission, and , in case of encountering a stink bomb, it is also convenient to deal with the aftermath."

Any weapon system is faulty, and the fault of the missile means that the ignition may not be successful.

If it is a cold launch, even if the missile fails to ignite, it has already left the launch tube and fell down.

What about falling?

Although the launch tubes on warships are called vertical launch tubes, they are actually at an angle, and the launch tubes are inclined outward. Therefore, if the missile fails to ignite, it will have left the deck when it falls, and will fall with a plop. Going into the sea will not pose any threat to the warship.

If it is a hot launch and the ignition fails, then the stink bomb will stay in the silo. God knows when the missile will suddenly ignite and fly, and it may even explode in the silo.

The Yankees use heat to launch because their technology is advanced and the success rate of launching missiles is very high, but what about their own side?Considering the gap in technology, it is safer to launch cold.

Moreover, if you take the route of the old man, your side will have a chance to get a vertical launch system, and if you follow the route of the Yankees, your side will not be able to get MK41 to study!

"Yes, if there is such a system, we really hope to disassemble it and study it. Maybe we can also make this kind of device." Xia Bei said.

Xia Bei can directly ask which is better, cold launch or hot launch, which shows that he still has research on this kind of thing.

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, there will be bread and everything."

There are too many things that need to be obtained from Lao Maozi, so Qin Tao can't directly promise at this time. Moreover, this vertical launch system is not equipped on old-type warships. He wants to get it by picking up junk. It's not that easy to go back.

Qin Tian also knows that in later generations, these vertical launch systems are the products of Institute 713, so now, he just chatted casually.

During the chat, the factory has already made a fixed frame, which is very efficient.

"Come on, install it."

"Take apart the turret first!"

Everyone rushed to help, and Qin Tao also started to work. When she saw Qin Tao easily pick up the turret, Zhao Ling opened her eyes wide: "Are you a Hercules?"

That is the shell of the turret, so Qin Tao picked it up with one hand, it is definitely a strong man!
Hearing Zhao Ling's emotion, Qin Tao raised the turret high above his head: "That's right, I am a Hercules."

Xia Bei smiled: "We are all powerless scholars, but this thing is not heavy, it is made of plastic. When we took it apart for the first time, we thought it was made of steel!"

When they first came into contact with this sample gun, they were also cautious, thinking that it was a cast turret similar to a tank, and the smooth shape seemed to be cast.

Who would have thought that when they were about to exert their breastfeeding strength, they almost froze.

This turret is very light very light!
"There is no one in here, no need for protection, it is an exaggeration to call it a turret, in Lao Maozi's place, it is called a three-proof cover." Qin Tao explained: "This is a fiberglass fairing, which protects against rain or seawater erosion , and at the same time, it is necessary to dilute the gas concentration of the gunpowder in the cannon when it is fired.”
