Joannis was a little helpless, he didn't know what to do about the balance of missiles, after all, this time he had to face a new problem.

"Wesley, do you have any good idea!" Jonnis didn't have a solution of his own, so he thought about asking Wesley to figure it out!

Through getting along with Wesley in recent times. Jonnis felt that this student of his own was really amazing, and he could think of many places that he couldn't think of!

"Teacher, I can't do anything about this! The shape of the missile was designed by you. I don't see anything wrong with it. If you want me to figure it out, I'll only have to study it for a few days!

Now this problem is really a bit troublesome! You said that if there is a problem with the balance system of the missile, then the missile should crash as soon as it is launched!

However, everything is normal after our missiles are launched, and it is only when the speed reaches its peak that it loses its balance, and how can this problem be solved? I really don't know what to do!"

Wesley was also very helpless, he also felt clueless about such a difficult problem, and he didn't know how to solve it!

"Okay, then the two of us will continue to study this problem for the rest of the time! If we don't solve this problem, we won't be able to develop a ballistic missile. Jonnis looked at Wesley and told him what they were going to do.

Wesley nodded, agreeing-

Not to mention that Jonnis and Wesley continued to work on the balance of missiles.

But let's talk about the research situation on Zhao Zhongyao's side.

Zhao Zhongyao used tungsten carbide warheads to finally solve the problem of the missile's warhead.

And together with Yan Mingcheng, the test was carried out on the ring device. Everything is working fine, which makes him happy too.

"Lao Yan, as long as this warhead is developed, then our next step is to develop an experimental bomb. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng excitedly and said.

"Okay, then let's make an experimental bomb quickly, if it succeeds. It is possible to develop a real ballistic missile. Yan Mingcheng naturally nodded in agreement.

In the following days, Zhao Zhongyao personally designed an experimental missile. And the tungsten carbide warhead developed earlier was also used.

Since this experimental bomb is not very large, it is only three meters long. Compared to a real medium-range ballistic missile, this experimental missile is much smaller.

Soon, Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng developed this small experimental bomb.

On a calm day, the two of them launched the experiment bomb together.

Of course, they did it in a similar way to Joannis and the others, all of which had placed a false target in the sea near the research base beforehand.

Team Joannis placed a wrecked fish boat. And Zhao Zhongyao: What they placed was a model of a warship made of styrofoam.

After the model of the warship was placed, Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng led the soldiers of several missile battalions to launch this experimental bomb.

"Old Yan, do you think we can succeed this time!" When the missile was launched, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng beside him and asked.

"Absolutely. I don't care who developed it, how could the experimental bomb developed by a super military expert like you, Zhao Zhongyao, fail!"

Yan Mingcheng is very confident, because he has always felt that Zhao Zhongyao is a great capable person, there is no problem that Zhao Zhongyao can't understand, and there is no Zhao Zhongyao can't develop weapons.

"Haha, you are very relieved to me!" Zhao Zhongyao laughed heartily when he heard Yan Mingcheng's words.

"Of course, Zhongyao is doing things, can Lao Yan rest assured! This is my motto!" Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao and made another joke.

"Don't be reassured. Let's take a look at this experimental bomb first!" Zhao Zhongyao was not very relieved, after all, this was a weapon that he had not developed!

Although two missiles have been developed before, those two missiles cannot be compared with the missiles developed by themselves now!

The previous missiles were all flying at low altitudes. At most, it's a few kilometers in the air. But the missile developed this time has to fly hundreds of kilometers!

Hundreds of kilometers of the environment is already about the same as outer space. Whether the missile can fly in such an environment, Zhao Zhongyao himself has no confidence!

Of course, the experimental bomb he is now developing. Because of its relatively small size and relatively small amount of fuel, it naturally cannot fly hundreds of kilometers in the air. It can only fly at an altitude of tens of kilometers.

But even so, it is much higher than the previous missile, and whether it can fly smoothly in the high altitude, Zhao Zhongyao himself is not very clear.

Just as Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng were chatting, the missile had already been launched and flew vertically towards the sky.

A few minutes later, the missile reached its highest point, and then began to fly level.

After flying for a few more minutes, the missile began to dive to attack the target.

"COCC, look at it, our missiles will definitely be able to destroy the target. Yan Mingcheng was very confident, he saw that the missile had begun to dive, so he happily prepared to applaud and congratulate him!

Zhao Zhongyao didn't say anything, just stared intently at the experimental missile and dived towards the target.

But just when the missile was about 100 meters away from the target, it suddenly began to roll, and then with a loud 'boom', it exploded on its own.

Yan Mingcheng was about to applaud! He raised his hands. But as soon as he saw this, his hand stopped in mid-air again.

"Zhongyao, this-what's going on, is this, are you putting an air-to-air fuse in the warhead of an experimental missile!"

When Yan Mingcheng saw this situation, he was very strange. I also wonder if this will be the aerial explosion scene designed by Zhao Zhongyao to be carried out at a certain distance from the target.

"Empty bird! How could I design some air-bomb fuse in a missile! This is an unexpected situation, and I wonder what it is!"

As soon as Zhao Zhongyao heard Yan Mingcheng's words, he quickly denied it. After all, this situation was definitely not done by him on purpose, and he didn't want to see such a situation!

"Why, Zhongyao, it wasn't specially designed by you, so what's going on! How could a missile explode in the air!" Yan Mingcheng still looked at Zhao Zhongyao puzzled.

"The missile lost its balance at the last moment, so it exploded on its own. Zhao Zhongyao saw it very clearly just now. He saw that the missile had rolled in the air a few times before exploding. ”

"What, the missile lost its balance in the air, how is this possible? Didn't the missile fly well before? How could it lose its balance at the last critical moment!"

When Yan Mingcheng heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, he was very puzzled.

"I'm still weird! But that's how it turned out, didn't you see it too, the missile rolled in the air before it exploded. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng with some dejection and said.

"Ah, that's right! What then, if that's the case. Even if a real ballistic missile is developed, it will not be the same if it is launched!"

When Yan Mingcheng heard Zhao Zhongyao's explanation, he was very nervous, and he didn't know how to solve this problem!

"yes, so we have to get that out of the way now. Zhao Zhongyao said as he walked back.

"Do you want to redesign the shape of a missile?" Yan Mingcheng thought, since it is a matter of balancing missiles, then only one more missile shape can be designed.

"I'm afraid it's useless to redesign! The shape of this missile has already been experimented! The atomic missiles and cruise missiles we developed before were similar to this shape. It's just that there are two more flanks in the middle of the cruise missile, everything else is the same. ”

Zhao Zhongyao knew. Although the two missiles they developed before were not quite different in appearance, the overall shape was still similar. That is, there are two more flanks on the cruise missile, except for this part, all parts are the same.

"Zhongyao. Then we can also install two flanks in the middle of the ballistic missile. In this way, it is possible to maintain the balance of the ballistic missile at high speeds. ”

As soon as Yan Mingcheng heard Zhao Zhongyao say this, he thought of assembling two flanks in the middle of the ballistic missile!

"No! In doing so, the ballistic missile would only have to make a dive maneuver. It's going to explode right away. Zhao Zhongyao listened to Yan Mingcheng's words and immediately denied his words.

"Medium and long, since the flanks of the missiles have a balancing effect. Why don't you equip the ballistic missile with a flank? How can you say that after installing the flanks, the missile explodes very quickly when it dives!"

Yan Mingcheng listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and it was difficult for him to understand this matter.

"Cruise missiles are flanked so that they can cruise through the sky, not so that they can fly faster. The speed of a cruise missile is basically equal to, or below the speed of sound.

At such speeds, the flanks of cruise missiles have a balancing effect. However, the attack of ballistic missiles can dive at a speed of seventeen or eighteen times the speed of sound.

In such high-speed conditions, the flanks on the missile will not be balanced at all, on the contrary, it will only throw the missile off balance and crash quickly. ”

As a super military expert, Zhao Zhongyao knows a lot more about the performance and balance of missiles than military cadres like Yan Mingcheng. He directly rejected Yan Mingcheng's suggestion.

"Zhongyao, then how are you going to solve the balance problem. Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao with some puzzlement.

"I don't know yet! Let's think about it for a few days!" Zhao Zhongyao himself didn't know how to solve this problem!

"Okay, then you can think slowly! I won't bother you. After Yan Mingcheng finished speaking, he walked out of Zhao Zhongyao's office.

Zhao Zhongyao sat at his desk, looking at the drawings of the ballistic missiles he had designed before, feeling a little irritable, after all, this problem was something he had not encountered before, and he didn't know how to solve it!

But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any way to solve the problem of balancing missiles in high-speed flight.

Because in general, the balance problem of the aircraft is solved by the flanks or tail.

For example, the flanks and tail of the airplane are the key components of the aircraft to maintain balance in the air, if the aircraft does not have flanks and tails, let alone the problem of maintaining balance in the air, it may not even be able to fly.

However, doesn't it mean that without the flanks and tail, nothing can fly?

Apparently not. A weapon like a missile, even without a tail, can fly. The reason is that the initial velocity of the missile is very fast, and it will get faster and faster during the flight.

But even then, the missile needs a tail. Because without a tail, the missile will change direction during flight, or even flip in the air, and then fall from a high altitude.

However, the tail of the missile, that is, when the speed of the missile is not particularly fast, has a balancing effect, once the speed of the missile reaches more than ten times the speed of sound, the counterbalance effect of the missile's tail is not large.

This is the reason for the failure of the experimental missile launch carried out by Zhao Zhongyao before.

Zhao Zhongyao knew about this problem.

But he didn't know how to solve this problem!

It was a new problem he had never encountered before.

In other words, how can the missile fly at extremely high speed and still maintain a stable attitude.

But Zhao Zhongyao thought about it for two days, but there was no result.

Because under normal circumstances, it is to make some changes to the shape of the missile, add some flanks or tail fins, and so on. to keep the missile in a steady state at high altitude.

But the problem is that ballistic missiles are very fast, and this traditional method simply does not work.

It seems that to solve this problem, some special methods must be used.

Zhao Zhongyao thought about it for a few days, but he couldn't think of a reason.

On this day, Zhao Zhongyao was still thinking about this problem.

Yan Mingcheng suddenly came to Zhao Zhongyao with an alarm clock.

"Zhongyao, have you thought of how to solve the problem of balancing missiles!" Yan Mingcheng put the alarm clock in front of Zhao Zhongyao, and did not say what to do with him, but first asked Zhao Zhongyao what he was doing.

"Not yet! This problem is troublesome, the traditional method is not good at all! We must find a special method!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng helplessly and said.

"Okay, I really can't solve it, and there's no way, don't do this ballistic missile mission. Anyway, you won't be able to complete this task, let alone anyone else. The higher-ups can't blame you! You are not a god, and you can't solve everything. Are you an ordinary person, too?"

Yan Mingcheng listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words and comforted him.

Zhao Zhongyao patted Yan Mingcheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How can you say that! The research and development of any weapon is not smooth sailing, and it will encounter problems of one kind or another! If we have to give up when we encounter a problem, then there will be no advanced weapons in this world." ”

Zhao Zhongyao shook his head when he heard Yan Mingcheng's words. Obviously, he will not agree with Yan Mingcheng's statement and give up the current task of developing ballistic missiles. (To be continued.) )
