Chapter 131 Fixed-point aerial bomb
"Boss, R-97 is responsible for the research and development of weapons, including research on missiles and new explosives."

Lu Zhou silently reminded him from the side.

Are Hummingbird Drones Military Equipment?

Of course, with its performance, it is simply a sci-fi drone.

But what can a hummingbird drone without a weapon module use to fight?
Not just the Academy of Civilization Sciences, missile research and fighter aircraft research in any country will not be a department.

Lu Chen was just too eager to see his first weapon and equipment.

Indeed, the hummingbird drone was Lu Chen's first piece of military equipment in the true sense.

All the weapons and equipment of his armed forces so far have been purchased from outsiders.

Including all kinds of armed helicopters, tanks, armored vehicles, and even automatic rifles, all of which can be bought from the outside world.

Hummingbird UAV is the first self-developed weapon and equipment.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen called out: "Ling!"

"Owner!"

In front of Lu Chen, a holographic image automatically appeared.

Holographic technology is one of the latest research achievements of the Academy of Civilization Sciences, but this technology, like ultra-high-precision machine tool technology, has been refrigerated as a technical reserve.

"How is the R-97's weapon development progress? Have their missiles been produced?"

"Shh-"

The holographic image changes instantly.

Information about the development progress of the weapon project supported by R-97 appeared in front of Lu Chen.

According to the data, their weapon research and development module has reached the final stage, that is, the research on the guidance part.

A missile, when disassembled, can be divided into four parts: propulsion system, guidance system, warhead, and missile body structure system.

According to Ling's information, the research team of R-97 has completed the research on the propulsion system, warhead (warhead) and projectile structure system.

The most difficult guidance system is left unfinished.

Normally, the guidance system is not the most difficult part of the missile, but the propulsion system is, that is, the missile engine.

But the R-97 has just figured out the propulsion system, but the guidance system has not been completely fixed, which is really strange.

Hearing Lu Chen's question, Ling immediately responded: "Master, the reason why our missile guidance system research is not going well is because we don't have our own military satellites."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a while.

There are usually several guidance methods for missiles, the most common of which is satellite guidance.

Of course, in addition to this, there are infrared guidance, inertial guidance and other methods.

But these guidance methods are all backup methods after the satellite guidance fails, and no one uses inertial guidance from the beginning.

Not to mention that infrared guidance requires ground cooperation.

So without military satellites, it means that the missile has lost its eyes.

Throwing nuclear weapons into other people's territory and blowing them up casually is not counted. Generally, missiles require precise guidance. High-performance missiles can not only achieve hypersonic terminal attack speeds, but also ensure that the attack accuracy is accurate to meters.

Really point at where to hit.

Some people may say that Ling can be used to control military satellites of other countries to achieve the purpose of guidance.

Indeed, in the case of war with an enemy country, it can indeed be done.

But if you do this now, don't you rush to find trouble?
Kidnapping other countries' military satellites for no reason will be discovered one day. At that time, Lu Chen will really become the target of public criticism.

So. If you want to have your own missiles, you must also have your own satellites.

After listening to Ling's explanation.

Lu Chen felt that Huaguo was able to go from zero foundation to today's level, and the scientific researchers paid too much.

Back then, Huaguo did not have so many talented scientific researchers, nor did it have such abundant research funding, nor did it have such a super plug-in as a technology editor.

But just like that, they still produced satellites, missiles, and nuclear bombs.

As for these things, Lu Chen has so many research resources in his hands, but he hasn't worked out all of them yet.

Of course, it's not that he can't develop nuclear weapons, but that he can't do it openly.

Because first of all, the technical difficulty of this thing is very low for Lu Chen, so he is not in a hurry to make it.

Secondly, he has to ensure that after he makes it out, no outsiders will find out, or in other words, once this thing is made out, it will be able to form a fighting force.

To achieve this goal, Lu Chen must ensure that missile technology, especially ballistic missile technology, is developed first, otherwise just a nuclear bomb will not be able to scare anyone.

After thinking about it, Lu Chen ordered: "You ask R-97 to come over."

"Yes, Master."

soon.

A brisk young man walked into Lu Zhou's laboratory. It was R-97 who was in charge of missile research.

Compared with Lu Zhou, who has a more lively personality, R-97 seems a bit staid. Although he looks young, he has a deep look all day long.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Ignoring Lu Zhou, R-97 greeted Lu Chen first.

"You came just in time. I want to ask you, have you researched the missiles suitable for loading on the hummingbird drone?"

Hearing this question, R-97 frowned slightly: "Boss, because we don't have dedicated military satellites, the missiles we have developed cannot achieve real-time satellite guidance."

"Is satellite guidance necessary for targeted strikes?"

Lu Chen raised his chin slightly and began to think.

After a while, he seemed to think of something suddenly, raised his head and said: "Look, can it be like this, the hummingbird drone has the most advanced intelligent core, this intelligent core can not only guarantee its unmanned driving and various combat decisions , it also provides it with powerful computing power, if we don’t use this computing power, wouldn’t it be a huge waste of resources?”

Since R-97 is in charge of weapon research, it is naturally very sensitive to weapon research and development, and immediately heard Lu Chen's meaning: "Boss, you mean aerial bombs?"

"To be precise, it should be an aerial bomb capable of fixed-point bombing!"

"This..." R-97 looked at Lu Zhou. After all, he didn't research the hummingbird drone, so he didn't know its performance.

"How about it, is my idea feasible?"

Lu Zhou thought for a while, nodded and said, "With the computing power of Hummingbird's intelligent core, it's totally feasible."

The so-called fixed-point bombing is just that the hummingbird drone uses its super situational awareness and computing power to drop aerial bombs from high altitude, and use gravity and inertia to carry out fixed-point bombing of ground targets.

This method of fixed-point bombing has a disadvantage, that is, it can only bomb fixed and slow-moving targets on the ground.

If the target is moving at high speed, the effect will be greatly reduced.

But at the same time, this kind of aerial bomb also has an advantage, that is, it is cheap!
That's right, you must know that when there is no huge technological gap, the war is all about resources.

The cost of a missile and the cost of an aerial bomb are simply the difference between heaven and earth.

What does an aerial bomb need?
Aircraft bomb body structure and explosives.

Compared with the complex structure of missiles, aerial bombs without guidance function are as cheap as grandma's house.
