Chapter 114 Xiaoerhei

"It's not a missile, it's a missile launch box, which is empty." Zhao Ling said, as the person in charge of the electronic weapon system of the warship, she is very clear that the missile will not be hoisted in until it arrives at the base. Here in the shipyard, It's just that the eight launch boxes are divided into two quadruples and stuffed into the reserved space behind.

  What is Qin Tao excited about?

Of course Qin Tao was very excited. The Eagle Strike 8 anti-ship missile is the strongest anti-ship missile in China in this era. , the country has not been bad.

   "Are you Qin Gong? I'm from the Third Academy, and my name is Liu Shenggen." A young man in his thirties extended his hand to Qin Tao.

  Liu Shenggen? Qin Tao's eyes lit up immediately, old friend! He has devoted his whole life to the research and development of anti-ship missiles, and has made many contributions. The famous Eagle-12 was developed under his hands: "Brother, you can come to our place, and you will shine!" ( Pseudonym ha.)

  Qin Tao is very enthusiastic.

Liu Shenggen is the first batch of college students in the new third class. After graduation, he entered the Third Academy and caught up with the research and development of the Eagle-8 missile. This time, with the delivery of the anti-ship missile launch box by the 4805 factory, he followed Look, I didn't expect Qin Gong in front of me to be so enthusiastic!

   Have we known each other before?

  Liu Shenggen has heard of Qin Tao, who is already well-known in the naval system. The PJ13 6-tube 30mm naval gun that his brothers are working on is said to be Qin Tao who got the sample gun. Therefore, before departure, the leader also explained that he must establish a good relationship with Qin Tao when he comes here. In case Qin Tao helps them get something for them, that would be great!

Now, the hands of the two are holding each other for a long time, and the words in Qin Tao's mouth keep coming out: "Brother, it is the first time for us to install Xiao Erhei at Mingzhou Shipyard, and we may encounter difficulties. You have to stay here and help us solve our difficulties!"

   "How do you know that our Eagle Strike No. 8 has a nickname called Xiaoerhei?" Liu Shenggen was completely surprised.

(I have been using the Eagle-81 before, but after checking the information, it is said that the Eagle-81 refers to the air-launched model. This kind of ship-to-ship, it is better to call it the Eagle-8. Save the blindness of the East China Army .)

   "Listen to what my future father-in-law said." Qin Tao blamed him casually. Anyway, it was impossible for the other party to go to Wu Shengli to verify this trivial matter.

   Footsteps came from behind, and Zhao Ling just came over. Hearing what Qin Tao said, Zhao Ling blushed a little, and then quickly returned to normal.

   "Brother, welcome to come here. I am the military representative in charge of electronics and weapon systems. My name is Zhao Ling. We graduated from the same school." Zhao Ling stretched out her hand.

   "Representative Zhao, these missile launch boxes are handed over to you, let's inspect them first, and sign for us if they pass the inspection." Liu Shenggen got down to business first.

  Meng Fansheng also came over, chatted a few words, checked with Zhao Ling, and Qin Tao chatted with Liu Shenggen from the side.

"Our little Erhei has a good performance and sticks to the sea to attack. It is the same as the French Exocet missile, except that its range is not far enough." Anyway, Qin Tao and Meng Fansheng are going to give some pointers. up.

  When you encounter something confidential, that's what the old man said.

   "Yes, our range is indeed not far enough. The predecessors spent countless efforts to develop this range." Liu Shenggen said: "After all, our previous missiles used liquid fuel."

The first generation of anti-ship missiles were bloated, filled with liquid fuel, and used rocket engines. This kind of missile is characterized by its large size, which can attack large enemy warships. At the same time, when it hits, the remaining fuel is also It can be splashed and burned in the past, which increases the lethality. In addition, the warhead has a large amount of charge and strong armor-piercing ability, so this kind of missile is very powerful.

  However, due to their large size, some small ships are inconvenient to carry. For air launch, they must be large aircraft, and the flight trajectory is high, the volume is large, the anti-interference ability is poor, and the response time is long. In response to these shortcomings, the second generation of anti-ship missiles came into being.

  Compared with the first generation, it can fly across the sea, which greatly improves the concealment of the attack. The British Type 42 destroyer was recruited because it could not be detected in time.

  At this time, hearing Liu Shenggen say this, Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, our predecessors have worked hard to develop this missile."

  Yingjian No. 8 was finalized and served in the 1980s, and its research and development began in the 1970s. In that special era, countless missile designers overcame obstacles and wept blood.

  For example, the first difficulty they encountered was the technology of solid rocket motors, which was almost starting from scratch.

  By October 1973, Xiao Erhei's prototype of the main engine had been developed, but there was no sign of the supporting test bench. In order not to delay the accuracy of the test, they simply launched the local method.

  In the barren ditch at the northwest corner of the Third Courtyard, they pulled out weeds, dug a hole, buried the head of the engine in the ground, and turned the burning **** to the sky. At the same time, in order to better fix the engine, they also tied it to two surrounding trees with iron wire.

  Under the primitive and crude conditions, the scientific researchers made great efforts to carry out high-tech combustion experiments by using brick pots for picnics, and achieved complete success.

   Waiting until the burning had just ended, they took risks and rushed into the poisonous smoke to detect...

  There are countless similar research and development stories. It is the contributions of these scientific researchers that allow the motherland to have advanced anti-ship missiles. In this field, it is not comparable to old Maozi, but at least stands on the same starting line as other countries!

   "However, solid rocket motors are outdated. If you want to continue to increase the range, you have to change the engine." Qin Tao continued: "If you want to replace it with a small turbojet engine, the range can be doubled at least."

The easiest way to increase the voyage is to replace it with a fuel-efficient engine. In terms of current technology, that is to replace it with a turbojet engine. In the future, when the technology matures, the range will be doubled even more. Several times.

"Yes, we need to change the engine." Liu Shenggen said with emotion: "It's just that our domestic aviation engine technology is backward, and it is not easy to develop a small turbojet engine. It is not easy to develop a supersonic anti-ship engine like Lao Maozi. Missiles are even more difficult!"

  Aero engines are the laurels of industry, and the country is the most backward in this respect.

  Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, it is indeed not easy, but no matter how difficult it is, our technicians will face it, right?"

   "Yes, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome." Liu Shenggen said: "I heard that the PJ13 naval gun also has technical problems, and they will definitely be able to solve the problem."

What? Qin Tao was taken aback.
