Chapter 117 Discussion of vertical hair system

  The corresponding cannon frame was immediately processed. 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 manufactured 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 manufacture the vertical launch system of the missile."

   Zhao Ling's eyes suddenly brightened.

  Before she became 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.

   Now what Qin Tao said 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, Lao Maozi's 1144 large-scale nuclear-powered cruiser, the first ship Kirov, officially entered service. This warship was equipped with 12 S-300F missile vertical launch systems with 8 units and 96 ammunition, becoming the first in the world. 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 eyes were 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 addition to the different shapes, the two launch systems are round like a revolver and square like Tetris, and there are also differences in launch methods.

  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.

  So, 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 has already been ignited. The air wave billows and the flame rises. The missile is ignited directly from the silo and takes off. 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 launched hot 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 our 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. 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 take it apart 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.

   While chatting, the factory has already made a fixed frame, which is very efficient.

   "Here, 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's the shell of the turret, so Qin Tao picked it up with one hand, it's definitely a strong man!

  Hearing Zhao Ling's emotion, Qin Tao raised the turret high above his head: "Yes, I am Hercules."

  Xia Bei smiled: "We are all helpless 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. This 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!

"There is no one in here, no need for protection, it's an exaggeration to call it a turret, in Lao Maozi's place, it's 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."
