Chapter 273: Atomic Missile (10)
"Well! This name you have come up with is really very vivid! It seems that this 'Scud' will definitely be able to knock down the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance plane!" After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's explanation, Yan Mingcheng knew what 'Scud' meant. He suddenly had a lot of confidence in the anti-aircraft missile in front of him, which did not look very good.
Just when Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng were still chatting about the Scud missile, they saw Director Wu accompanied Chief of Staff Yang and Director Liu to the warehouse.
As soon as they saw the Scud missiles in front of them, they all frowned.
Chief of Staff Yang thought to himself, how can this thing be smaller than the original! The missiles developed last time did not knock down the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance plane, so can this little thing shoot down the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance plane?
Director Liu thought to himself, Zhao Zhongyao! The new weapon you developed doesn't look very good! The size has been reduced so much, can the power still increase?
While thinking, the two of them walked to Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng's side.
"Hello two leaders!" Yan Mingcheng hurriedly walked over and gave the two leaders a standard military salute.
"Chief of Staff Yang, Director Liu, do you think that this new missile I developed is not very good!"
Zhao Zhongyao is a person who is good at observing his face, and when he saw that Chief of Staff Yang and Director Liu both frowned when they saw this new type of air defense missile he had developed, he knew that the two leaders also had some doubts about the ability of this new type of weapon he had!
It is no wonder that others are skeptical, because in the minds of ordinary people, it is always felt that the volume of a weapon is directly proportional to his capabilities.
This is especially true of the missile family of weapons. As long as it is a missile that hits far, it must be large.
For example, the longest-range intercontinental missile, which can be described as a giant in the missile family. It may be more than thirty meters tall, nearly two meters in diameter, and weigh more than a hundred tons. This kind of missile is no different from a rocket used in spaceflight.
When Zhao Zhongyao had not yet developed this new missile, everyone felt that Zhao Zhongyao would develop a more powerful missile. That head must be bigger than the original!
But what everyone sees now is that the new anti-aircraft missile is completely half smaller than the original anti-aircraft missile!
The body has shrunk by half, can this strength be increased, this of course makes people who see this new missile have doubts.
You said, if you have reduced the size of the new missile by half compared to the original one, can it be possible to double its strength? ”
Director Liu looked at the missile in front of him and said to Zhao Zhongyao with some disbelieving.
"Yes! Zhongyao! How can the new weapon you have developed be smaller than the original? Can this still knock down the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance plane?"
Chief of Staff Yang listened to Director Liu's words. He also looked at Zhao Zhongyao with suspicion and said.
"I know that everyone does not believe in the power of the new missile! I think that the missile I have developed looks very ordinary, and it is much smaller than the original anti-aircraft missile!
But what I want to say is that I didn't blow it, but this kind of anti-aircraft missile that I developed can not only shoot down the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance planes, but also fly around the world!
Other words. The new missile I have developed can actually be called a cruise missile! It can circle the earth in the sky without any problem!
What do I have to say? There's a saying, 'It's a mule, it's a horse, and you'll know it.'" I am a new anti-aircraft missile. What the hell is going on, you only need to launch it once!"
Zhao Zhongyao knew that no matter how much he bragged, it was useless. It needs to be tested by actual combat, which is the most convincing!
"What do you say, this missile of yours can go around the earth. Zhongyao! Are you blowing too big of the cowhide? There is such a weapon! Even if it is the largest passenger plane ever built by mankind? It's impossible to fly around the earth without needing to refuel!"
As soon as Director Liu heard Zhao Zhongyao boasting about the air defense missile he had developed, he was even more disbelieving, and felt that Zhao Zhongyao was purely bragging!
You said that the missile you developed can fly far. Don't you want to go around the earth! Aren't you talking nonsense!"
When Chief of Staff Yang heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, he was also a little angry! I felt that how could Zhao Zhongyao brag in front of the two leaders!
If you want to say that Zhao Zhongyao is not a person who loves to brag? Why is this kid bragging vigorously in front of the two leaders today!
When Chief of Staff Yang and Director Liu heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, they all shook their heads, and they really didn't understand, when did Zhao Zhongyao, who has always been low-key, learn to brag?
"Two leaders, you may not know that the new missile I am developing now uses an atomic engine, which is much more powerful than the previous ordinary engine! And it can continue to work, just like the previous Ground Tyrant tank and the Antelope helicopter gunship!"
Zhao Zhongyao saw that the two leaders did not believe it, so he had no choice but to explain the working principle of his newly developed air defense missile.
"Oh! It's an atomic engine! Is it possible that your missile can fly around the world?" Director Liu felt that there was some truth when he heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, but he still didn't believe what Zhao Zhongyao boasted before.
"Chief of Staff Yang, Director Liu, if you say that I am bragging, then I have nothing to oppose, anyway, if you don't believe it, then what can I do, I just said, if you don't believe it, then you can only conduct an actual combat exercise.
When the time comes, whether my missile is powerful or not, as soon as it is launched, you will know. Now, no matter how much we argue, it doesn't seem to make sense!"
Zhao Zhongyao knows that facts speak louder than words, and now the more he talks about how powerful the missiles he has developed, the two leaders will only think that he has learned to brag!
Only by conducting a real combat exercise can the leaders be silenced, and they have to believe it. The anti-aircraft missile I developed is absolutely unique and the most advanced weapon in the world!
"Then how are you going to conduct an exercise? Do you want your missiles to really make a round-the-world flight!" Chief of Staff Yang said with some unconvincing after listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words.
"How is this possible? Naturally, the round-the-world flight cannot be experimented. Besides, it seems that the purpose of our development of this new type of air defense missile is not to make a round-the-world flight!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at the two leaders and defended again.
"Then you mean to have a model of a high-altitude reconnaissance plane hanging under a gazelle gunship, as you did last time. Then you shoot with missiles. Chief of Staff Yang thought, since he was going to conduct a live-fire experiment, he could only do it like the last time!
"No! Chief of Staff Yang, the little antelope helicopter gunship is not flying fast enough, far less than this time, and the speed of the enemy's newly developed high-altitude reconnaissance plane is as fast! How can this prove that an air defense missile like mine can catch up with the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance plane!"
Zhao Zhongyao knew that if the original method was used to conduct the test, it would have no effect at all. There is simply no way to prove. The new anti-aircraft missile he developed this time is much more powerful than the original anti-aircraft missile!
"Then how are you going to conduct actual combat exercises!" Chief of Staff Yang asked as he looked at Zhao Zhongyao again. "I think so, I can use my newly developed anti-aircraft missile to attack the anti-aircraft missile I developed before. ”
Zhao Zhongyao had already thought of the method of the actual combat exercise. He wants to use the new anti-aircraft missile he developed this time to attack the anti-aircraft missile he developed before!
This is a bold method of actual combat exercise, using missiles to chase missiles, and this is a very spectacular and amazing exercise scene!
"What are you talking about, using your newly developed anti-aircraft missile to chase the previously developed anti-aircraft missile, this-this-is it possible! The speed of the missiles is so fast. Even if you develop a new anti-aircraft missile that flies faster than the previous one, you have to make it catch up with the original missile. If you succeed in destroying it, it's very difficult!"
When Chief of Staff Yang listened to Zhao Zhongyao's talk about the actual combat method, he felt that it was a little unreliable! This kind of exercise method is not very likely to succeed!
"Yes! Zhongyao! This kind of exercise method you are talking about is a bit frightening! How can such a dangerous actual combat experiment be conducted! I don't even know where such an extremely dangerous actual combat exercise can be conducted!
Director Liu was also taken aback when he listened to Zhao Zhongyao's method of exercise. It's a little scary!
Because, as long as it is on land, it will be inhabited, and even in the largest shooting range of the whole army, it is difficult to carry out this kind of actual combat experiment!
Because the speed of the missile is high. Even if the area of the shooting range is large, it is only a few tens of kilometers in radius.
This missile flies very fast, tens of kilometers, maybe less than a minute, and flies over.
If something goes wrong during the actual combat exercise, and the two missiles do not meet, but fly outside the shooting range separately, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Director Liu, Chief of Staff Yang, I have already thought about this, you are right, it is difficult to conduct such an actual combat exercise on land, even in the largest shooting range in the whole army, this kind of actual combat exercise cannot be carried out. The speed of this anti-aircraft missile developed by me exceeded Mach 3, that is, more than 1,000 meters per second, and reached a speed of more than 3,600 kilometers per hour. More than sixty kilometers are flown every minute.
And the largest shooting range in our army is only more than 30 kilometers away, and if the new missile I developed is to go to actual combat exercises at the shooting range, it may fly without a trace in the blink of an eye!
So, I've already figured out where this exercise will be and where it should be. ”
Zhao Zhongyao had already thought of the location, but he deliberately sold it and didn't say it in one breath!
"Oh, what kind of place is it!" Chief of Staff Yang and Director Liu listened, and both of them asked again in unison.
"Mushroom Island!" Zhao Zhongyao said three words affirmatively.
"Mushroom Island!" Chief of Staff Yang and Director Liu both repeated the three words Zhao Zhongyao said in surprise when they heard this.
"Yes! Our Jianghai City is a coastal city, isn't there a small island called Mushroom Island on the east coastline of our Jianghai City! Before, the largest uranium mine with the highest content in our country that I discovered was there!"
There are three reasons why Zhao Zhongyao wanted to conduct this actual combat exercise on this small island.
First, this actual combat exercise can be said to be an extremely dangerous exercise, which cannot be carried out in a land exercise range. Since it can't be done on land, you can only find a place at sea.
Second, the sea is very open and the field of vision is very wide, so it is very good to conduct missile interception experiments here. Don't worry, the missile will fly to the land! But the sea is just a piece of sea, and if there is no foothold, then how can the missile be placed on the sea! Therefore, Zhao Zhongyao thought of the place of Mushroom Island. You can place a missile on it and launch it over the sea, and then there will be no obstacles or dangers.
Also, the reason why Zhao Zhongyao chose the place of Mushroom Island is also inseparable from the uranium ore he discovered here. Otherwise, there are many small islands in the sea, so why do you have to be on this small island!
The new missile he developed this time uses uranium ore of high natural purity mined from this small island. Isn't it very meaningful to put his newly developed atomic missile on this small island for actual combat exercises now!
Thirdly, there is another point, which is also important. This is because there are several small island countries in the East China Sea, and they are all pro-M countries, and they have always liked to be enemies of China! This time, an unprecedented missile interception exercise in the East China Sea will certainly have a great deterrent effect on their rulers, and they will not dare to harass China's territory and territorial waters in the East China Sea in the future!
It is precisely because of the above three factors that Zhao Zhongyao decided to conduct this missile interception exercise on Mushroom Island by the East China Sea!
"Oh, I see, the atomic missile you developed this time is using the natural uranium ore on this small island! Then, you put the atomic missile here for actual combat exercises, it is really meaningful!"
Director Liu listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, he already understood why Zhao Zhongyao did this, it turned out that Zhao Zhongyao was thinking about things very far-reaching!
"Well, Zhongyao! You are right, we will conduct an actual combat exercise of atomic missiles on Mushroom Island, so that several small island countries in the East China Sea can see the power of our new military weapons!" )
