Chapter 349: Ballistic Missiles (7)
Only when the ballistic missile is allowed to maintain a stable flight state in the process of flying to the target can it hit the target. Otherwise, the missile would have fallen from the air in the middle of the day.
However, how can we ensure that the missile can still maintain a stable flight state even in the adjusted state? This is a technical problem.
In the world before Zhao Zhongyao's death, people have never been able to solve the problem of the stability of missiles flying at high speeds.
It was not until mankind used the 'gyroscope' in missile technology that this problem was finally solved.
The small spinning top plays a huge role in the development of human military science and technology. From the beginning, human beings used the rotational stability of the gyroscope to solve the problem of the stability of the bullet when it was fired out of the barrel, and finally made a qualitative leap in the shooting accuracy of the gun.
Not only is the rifling inside the barrel of the gun, but even the rifling inside the barrel of some cannons is designed, so that the shell can be as stable as a bullet during flight. The accuracy of firing of shells was also greatly improved.
Later, when people encountered the high-speed flight of missiles and could not fly smoothly, they thought of the little guy of gyroscope again, so they developed a special precision instrument for missiles -- gyroscopes, which can finally make ballistic missiles fly smoothly at high altitudes.
Recently, human beings have used this small gyroscope to solve the great Einstein's relativity problem, and in space, a small special high-precision gyroscope has been used to measure the curvature of space-time, proving Einstein's theory that massive objects will bend space-time around it.
It seems that the small spinning top is really too big to contribute to humanity. I believe that in the future, human beings will be able to use small spinning tops to do more earth-shattering things.
In this way, the small spinning top that we usually don't care about is really the truth of nature!
Actually, if you think about it, that's it. Aren't the celestial bodies in the entire universe just like huge spinning tops? They are constantly rotating in the universe in order to maintain the balance and stability of the universe, and if one day, the stars in the sky will 'strike' and stop rotating. That could be the real end of the world.
And for these theories about gyroscopes, for the current Zhao Zhongyao, he still doesn't understand much.
After all, Zhao Zhongyao was only a nuclear physicist, not a military expert, let alone an expert in the development of various electronic commodities on the front line. For something like a spinning top, Zhao Zhongyao didn't pay attention to it at all before his death.
It is precisely because Zhao Zhongyao is not paying much attention to the gyroscope now, so he will think of it. This time, it will be difficult to solve the problem of balancing ballistic missiles at high altitudes.
Yan Mingcheng was a little discouraged when he heard Zhao Zhongyao's words. He said, "Why, don't you have the confidence to beat that old fellow Joannis this time!"
Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng and smiled when he heard this, and said: "Of course I have it, if I can't solve any problem, I'm afraid he can't solve it." Whatever problem I have, it must be his problem!"
For this. Zhao Zhongyao is still very confident, he is a scientist with advanced knowledge in the 21st century. His thoughts. More advanced than the minds of any scientist in this world.
He knew that although he would encounter some problems in the development of ballistic missiles. But these problems, that must be what Joannis has to face.
"That's right! Any problem that we can't solve, then Old Joe, he can't solve it even more. Medium and long. I believe that you will definitely be stronger than Lao Qiao, and you will definitely develop ballistic missiles before him. ”
Yan Mingcheng has always been very confident in Zhao Zhongyao, and he has known it since he first cooperated with Zhao Zhongyao. Zhao Zhongyao's skills are not ordinary, but the first in the world, unmatched.
"Okay, Lao Yan, you don't put a high hat on me anymore, now we have to develop a high-temperature resistant ballistic missile warhead. Only when this warhead is developed first can we develop something else. ”
Zhao Zhongyao knew that if we wanted to develop a ballistic missile, the first thing to solve was the warhead problem.
"Zhongyao, you say what to do! I'll help you. Yan Mingcheng didn't know how to solve these problems, and he could only give Zhao Zhongyao a hand.
"In this way, I have designed an adjustment rotation device, which is used to detect whether the high temperature will cremate the missile warhead when it encounters air friction when flying at high speeds.
I have the drawings here that have been designed, and you lead the workers to install this device first. Only by installing this device can I develop a ballistic missile warhead!"
Zhao Zhongyao knew that in developing a ballistic missile warhead, it was necessary to first develop a detection device, and only by using this device could he know whether the missile warhead he had developed could withstand the high temperature problems caused by high-speed operation.
"Okay, don't worry, Zhongyao, I'll complete this task soon. Yan Mingcheng took the drawings and came out of Zhao Zhongyao's temporary office and came to the test workshop.
According to the style on Zhao Zhongyao's drawings, Yan Mingcheng instructed the workers to install a strange circular device that he had never seen before.
This device is actually not complicated, it is a circular track, and a very powerful motor. When installing, it is necessary to weld this circular track and the motor together.
In this way, when it is used, it is necessary to fix the warhead of the missile on this circular trajectory. Then start the motor.
This motor will spin at high speed.
In this way, there will be a strong friction between the missile warhead fixed in orbit and the surrounding air.
This is about the same speed as when a missile dives down at a high altitude and attacks the target.
Only if the developed missile warhead can rotate for several hours on this experimental device without being melted by the high temperature generated on the warhead, then the missile warhead can be considered qualified.
Yan Mingcheng only took one day. I installed this device.
After he installed it, he reported back to Zhao Zhongyao.
After Zhao Zhongyao found out, he went to the workshop with Yan Mingcheng to check the device that had just been installed. He felt that everything was about the same as he imagined, and such a device would definitely be able to detect the degree of high temperature resistance of the missile warhead.
This device, in fact, was also remembered by Zhao Zhongyao himself. At first he was thinking about how to test the warhead of a missile with high temperatures. He really didn't know what to do!
He also wondered if he would like to test the warhead of this missile on a real missile!
Because the speed of the atomic missile he developed before was also very fast. It can reach six times the speed of sound!
And at such a speed, it is almost possible to test the high temperature resistance of the warhead of the missile.
But Zhao Zhongyao thought again, if he tested it once and used an atomic missile, would it be too wasteful!
Another point is also very important, that is, if a missile test is carried out on this shark island, it will inevitably be discovered by the intelligence personnel of country F!
If only they knew that China was conducting missile tests on Shark Island. Then they might be able to wreak havoc!
Although the military strength of China now far exceeds that of the small country of F. But I don't want to be at war with this small country all the time. Because, China has more important things to do, and they don't care about the constant entanglement with this small country!
Since all the development of military-industrial weapons is a matter of extreme secrecy. The same is true for the development of ballistic missiles this time.
Confidentiality also comes first. If we do not do a good job of secrecy work, then the development of such an advanced weapon will be of little significance.
However, Shark Island is a place that is safe and secure. After all, it's an uninhabited desert island, and no one else will pay attention to it.
It's not safe, it's also very unsafe, after all, it's not too far from country F. And it's even closer to Mushroom Island.
And the battle of 'Mushroom Island' a few months ago defeated country F. So. Now for country F, the place of Mushroom Island can be said to be their eternal pain!
It is precisely because of this that some of the warships of country F do not dare to approach the mushroom island at all! You must know that even last year, the warships of country F dared to swagger in the waters near the 'mushroom island'!
And now the warships of country F. I didn't dare to approach the sea near 'Mushroom Island', and when I got to this place, I had to take a detour!
In this way, although this small island in Huaguo, which was often harassed by country F before, has become much safer than before.
But it also made it invisibly a thorn in the side of country F. I can't wait for a cannonball to blow up the 'Mushroom Island'.
However. This kind of thought, they can only think about it in country F. With their current military strength, they can't compete with China at all. They didn't dare to invade China anymore, and they didn't even dare to snoop on 'Mushroom Island'.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao and the others were a little relieved. After all, only 'Mushroom Island' can attract the attention of country F, and the other small islands will not attract the attention of country F.
With the 'Mushroom Island' that attracts the attention of country F, they won't notice the 'Shark' Island, which is still a few hundred nautical miles away from the 'Mushroom Island'.
But no matter what, safety comes first.
In order to allow Zhao Zhongyao, they can carry out the development of ballistic missiles with peace of mind. Yan Mingcheng, a professional soldier, finally did something that Zhao Zhongyao admired.
Yan Mingcheng this time, let him, Zhao Zhongyao, and the workers on Shark Island all become fishermen.
And some of their factories and workshops on Shark Island have also been turned into workshops for processing fish products.
Autumn is also the fishing season, and Huaguo in the coastal areas will go to the sea to catch a large number of fish at this time every year.
On Big Shark Island, there were originally some fishermen who fished here. It's just that there are often sharks in the waters of this place, and after a few incidents of sharks biting fishermen, there is no fisherman who dares to fish here on this shark island.
But some soldiers of country F don't know about this. They just know that Shark Island was originally a fishing island, and every autumn comes, many fishermen from the East China Sea come to fish near Shark Island.
Therefore, now that Zhao Zhongyao and all of them are dressed as fishermen, naturally some intelligence officers of country F will not have any suspicions.
Because the intelligence personnel of any enemy country can only watch the situation on Shark Island from a distance, and as for what the workshops that process fish products are used for, they cannot go to the scene to check in person.
Therefore, these intelligence personnel will only combine the situation that Shark Island will conduct a lot of fishing at this time in previous years, and determine that Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng are some fishermen, not military science and technology personnel.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng can naturally confidently and boldly carry out the research and development of ballistic missiles on Shark Island.
But it's funny to think about it, some people who seem to be fishermen are all military experts. And the workshop where fish products are processed is actually a place for the development of superweapons, what an incredible thing!
In order to be able to do it to the extent that it is real. Yan Mingcheng also asked some soldiers, and he really worked as a fisherman for a few days and caught some fish in the nearby sea.
Then they strung all these small fish on some thin wire and hung them outside their workshop where they produced missile equipment, so as to create a real 'illusion'.
Because these small fish will produce some unpleasant odors after being exposed to the sun. Now, Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng, as well as some scientific researchers working in the workshop, and some workers really can't stand it.
At this time, Yan Mingcheng joked with Zhao Zhongyao: "Director Zhao, is it impossible for you to conduct scientific research in this environment in your life!"
Zhao Zhongyao didn't care, he said with a smile: "It's not easy to say! Our country still needs a lot of advanced weapons and equipment, and since this shark island is a good research place, maybe we will still carry out scientific research on military equipment here in the future! Don't say this too absolutely." ”
Yan Mingcheng listened to it, and he also felt that what he said was too absolute. Because what Zhao Zhongyao said is very reasonable. Whatever has a first time, there may be a second time.
Since this shark island is a good place to study cutting-edge weapons, can't you go to this place to develop any cutting-edge weapons that need to be developed in the future?
"Zhongyao, if we carry out this kind of research work again, I think, we can just use some fake fish, don't come to the real thing, this is really a small fish, it's really unbearable!" (To be continued.) )
