Great warships

Chapter 39 Folding the Wings Turns out to be Simple

Qin Tao opened a new door for these future missile experts.

They tried various methods, but none of them solved the problem. For Qin Tao, a simple torsion bar is enough. Even if the wings are not folded, just changing the section of the launch tube to a square can quickly reduce the size of the launch tube. Volume up.

Their current huge six-pack launcher is the most clumsy way, and as long as a little improvement is made, the problem can be solved better.

Zhao Ling took the three-view drawing drawn by Qin Tao, looked at it seriously, and kept nodding, this Qin Tao is really amazing!

"old…"

"I'm not that old, call me Taozi."

"Brother Tao, thank you very much." Zhao Ling said.

Call Tao brother, and Qin Tao is in a good mood: "Xiaoling, don't just look at it, eat it quickly, come, eat a piece of braised pork."

As Qin Tao said, he picked up the braised pork from the second dish that Pang Jianmin brought, and put it in the bowl in front of Xiaoling.

Everyone else is embarrassed.

It was even more embarrassing when the three men were at the other table.

"Xiaoling, why don't you ask the three senior brothers to come over to eat together, let's get to know each other, maybe we will have to deal with each other in the future." Qin Tao looked at the three people over there.

The tables on both sides were pushed together and merged into one big table.

Zhao Ling introduced the three men named Zhang Dagang, Zhang Ergang, and Xu Qiang. Among them, Xu Qiang was only one year older than Zhao Ling, and they had known each other since college, and the one who kept refusing was this Xu Qiang.

Now, the expression on Xu Qiang's face is a bit embarrassing. He thought that Qin Tao had no skills and would only talk about it. Who would have thought that Qin Tao would actually solve the problem for them, especially this picture, since it can be drawn, it is enough It shows that the other party has thought carefully.

"Qin Gong, according to your introduction, you are mainly engaged in ship design, why are you so interested in missiles?" After hearing Qin Tao's introduction of his experience, Xu Qiang couldn't help asking.

He didn't want to get too close to Qin Tao, let alone call him Brother Tao, so he changed his name to Qin Tao.

"Missiles are also going to be put on warships, of course I am very interested." Qin Tao said: "Speaking of it, it is really emotional. If our Hongqi 61 is not delayed, it would be better to install it 20 years earlier. Now, even if it is installed on our warships, it is already outdated."

If Qin Tao had said this at the very beginning, Xu Qiang would definitely have scolded him, but now, everyone has known each other, and eating at the same table has turned into emotion.

When the research and development of Hongqi 61 was just started, it was benchmarked against the Sea Sparrow, and it was not outdated in terms of technology. However, the Sea Sparrow was buzzing, and it was finalized and equipped with the US Navy in a few years, and it became an air defense weapon for others.

What about our side?Toss for more than 20 years!
There are reasons for weak technology, and there are also reasons for the times. It has been up to now, but it is because of the lack of anti-aircraft weapons suffered in the naval battle last year, so I can't wait to install it on the warship.

The frigate specially developed to carry this anti-aircraft missile has already started to be built in the shipyard, and the corresponding weapon system has also undergone repeated experiments on the modified test ship. The personnel are miserable.

After hearing Qin Tao's words, everyone fell silent.

"Yeah, it's already outdated. Although our products have to be finalized and equipped with troops, the navy is more inclined to imitate the Sea Sidewinder. Our missile..." Zhang Dagang, who is the oldest and has the longest development time, sighed.

"Yes, from various technical perspectives, Sea Rattlesnake is a better choice for us." Qin Tao said: "However, Sea Rattlesnake cannot meet our needs. Our navy must have regional air defense capabilities. Captain Zhang, what do you think?"

The Hongqi-61 and the Sea Sidewinder with a range of about ten kilometers are both point defense systems. They wait until the enemy's anti-ship missiles fly over and conduct the only interception. If they fail, they can only approach the anti-aircraft guns. If you fail, then resign yourself to fate.

If there are area air defense missiles, even if they are not placed one hundred kilometers, but only about fifty kilometers, then there will be two more chances of interception, increasing the chance of survival of the warship.

Zhang Zhen nodded: "Yes, what our navy lacks the most is air defense capabilities. It's a pity that our own scientific research institutions are not strong, and the price imported from the UK is too expensive. We can't afford it!"

After the country's door was opened, the navy was eager to solve its own air defense problems, and the most effort it made was to contact the United Kingdom.

Just in the 80s, a huge British fleet came to the east. A squadron composed of the light cruiser "Antrim" (self-proclaimed destroyer), the destroyer "Coventry" and the frigate "Lively" sailed. Enter the Yangtze River, then turn to the Huangpu River, and enter the military port of Huating.

The Chinese navy boarded the British warship and looked at the double-mounted Sea Javelin anti-aircraft missiles, full of anticipation. This kind of anti-aircraft missile with a range of [-] kilometers is likely to become the anti-aircraft weapon of the Chinese navy.

According to the original plan, after the sea javelin system is introduced, it will be installed on the 051 destroyer and become the 051S regional air defense destroyer.

However, the project came to an end without a problem. On the one hand, it was because the other party’s asking price was too high and the country could not afford it. On the other hand, it was because the performance of sea javelins during the Falklands War was mediocre, and it was simply unable to support the future sky.

"The British sea javelin is not good at all. This kind of missile uses kerosene as fuel, has low energy density, and is too bulky. Moreover, what we provide is an ordinary 965 radar, which has no ability to search for low-altitude sea-skimming missiles. , the introduction is also a waste of money, even their 1022 radar, using pulse compression technology, modifying the radar antenna and transmitter to obtain a lower side lobe level, which can suppress the interference of sea clutter and multipath effects. That is also It's just so-so..."

The words Qin Tao said were very professional, and the missile technicians, three men and one woman, opened their eyes wide again.

Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao with big watery eyes.

"Of course, we don't have to worry too much. There will be bread and everything." Qin Tao said: "If there is no light in the west, there will be light in the east. We can always find opportunities."

Zhang Zhen's face suddenly beamed with joy: "Qin Gong, next time I go out, I can bring it back..."

Qin Tao is omnipotent. The last time he went out, he brought back the wake-homing torpedo. It has been handed over to the relevant department for research. Next time Qin Tao goes out, can he give Lao Maozi's ship-to-air missile? bring back?

However, this is a secret after all, and it is better not to reveal it to too many people, so he did not continue.

"At most, it is to bring back a single missile, but what is the use of this one? The anti-aircraft missile is a system. The long-range search radar, target illumination radar, various servo systems, etc., are meaningful when it comes to a complete set." Qin Tao Said: "It's enough for now, when we have a chance in the future, let's get the modern class back."
