Wesley was very surprised to see that the test missile they had developed disintegrated in the air, and he could not understand why the missile they had worked so hard to develop would have such a result.

"Wesley, there must be something wrong with the missile's warhead. Didn't you just see that it was the missile's warhead that caught fire first!"

After carefully recalling the scene just now, Joannis can be sure that there is a problem with the warhead of the test missile.

"There's a problem with the warhead, how is this possible, haven't we already tested it before!" Wesley was still a little unconvinced. Although he also saw with his own eyes that the warhead of the test bomb caught fire first, he did not think that there was a problem with the warhead.

"There may have been a problem with the last trial. "Joannis now has a premonition of something, and it feels like there may be a problem with the titanium warhead they developed last time.

"Teacher, how is this possible, what can be wrong with the experiments we did together. Wesley looked at the teacher in bewilderment.

"Let's go, go back and do another experiment. ”

Jonnis knew that it was useless to say anything now, and he had to go back and do another test to find out the results!

"Okay, then let's go back and do another experiment!" Wesley couldn't argue with the teacher anymore, he had to go back with the teacher to do another experiment.

The two of them hurried back to the laboratory, then took a titanium test bomb again, and strapped it to the round test device like the last time, and began to conduct the test.

Jonis himself pressed the start button.

The circular device began to spin rapidly.

After about ten minutes, the warhead suddenly caught fire as well.

Jonnis quickly installed the button again and turned the switch off. The circular mechanism slowly stopped.

Jonnis and Wesley, looking in amazement at the titanium warhead strapped to the circular device, had melted down, and the pointed head was gone. There was only one pit left.

"Well, Wesley, what else do you have to say? Jonnis looked at the titanium warhead on the device, which had burned out by the heat, and he looked at his student Wesley with some schadenfreude.

"Teacher, what's going on, the last time we experimented. Isn't it good, why can't this test work again?"

Wesley looked at the titanium warhead strapped to the circular device and felt strange, the results of these two completely different tests were unacceptable to him.

"Wesley, I know what was going on now, the last time we did the test, it must have been because the voltage was low, so the speed of the circular device was not so high. In this way, the titanium warhead naturally did not melt at high temperatures.

Because the speed is not fast enough, the friction generated is not large enough, and the resulting high temperature is not high enough to reach the melting point of titanium. So, this titanium warhead is not melted.

However, when we were testing a missile just now, the speed of the missile was more than 10 times the speed of sound when it dived down in the air. Such a speed. It is enough for a high temperature of two or three thousand degrees on the warhead.

And the melting point of titanium metal is only more than 1,600 degrees! Just now, a high temperature of two or three thousand degrees was generated on the titanium warhead, do you think that the titanium metal warhead can not melt?

The warheads were all on fire and melted. The test missile is not yet rolling and exploding in the air! Now, you should understand what's going on!"

Jonnis saw that Wesley didn't quite understand why the missile test had failed, so he explained it to Wesley in detail.

"Teacher, what should we do then! Can we still develop a ballistic missile?" Wesley was a little discouraged when he heard the teacher's words.

"Why not, isn't it possible that any new weapon has been successfully researched after a series of failed tests! This ballistic missile is a new type of weapon. Of course, it is possible that there have been many failures in the development process. ”

As an old military worker, Joannis has developed many kinds of weapons, and he knows that every new weapon can only be developed after a series of failures!

"Teacher. So what are we going to do next!" Wesley was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"What else, continue to develop missile warheads. The test of the titanium warhead just now failed, so let's test the tungsten metal warhead again and see if it works. If not, then we'll have to consider using some metal slugs. ”

Jonnis knew there was nothing else to do but experiment with each metal once. Let's see, if not, we can only use some alloys.

But he didn't know what kind of alloy to use! Anyway, this was what they were going to do next.

"Okay, then let's go ahead and try it with a tungsten warhead!" Wesley didn't have to do what the teacher said.

Besides, Zhao Zhongyao also encountered a bit of a problem on his side! He made a test warhead out of tungsten at the beginning.

But during the test just now, there was almost an accident.

That's why he designed this device.

Because the test setup he designed was a bit too simplistic. There wasn't even a shield outside.

When he and Yan Mingcheng were experimenting with a tungsten warhead just now, there was almost a problem!

Originally, Zhao Zhongyao tied the tungsten metal warhead to the test device, and he tied it very strongly.

But he didn't expect that after the tungsten metal warhead was rotated and heated, the whole thing became soft.

As soon as the metal becomes soft, it will naturally not be able to be firmly fixed to the device. In the case of high-speed rotation, it is naturally easy to fall off.

Zhao Zhongyao was quick-eyed, and quickly mixed the power switch, so that the test device was powered off all of a sudden. As a result, the test device was quickly stopped.

At this time, the tungsten metal warhead also fell to the ground softly.

Thinking about it, if Zhao Zhongyao hadn't cut off the power supply just now, the consequences would have been very serious.

At that time, Yan Mingcheng was standing on the edge of the test device, and if the tungsten metal warhead suddenly flew out of the test device, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Damn! Zhongyao, it's so dangerous! If you hadn't cut off the power in time, maybe it wouldn't have been. I've been shot!"

Yan Mingcheng looked at the tungsten metal warhead that fell under his feet, and he was still afraid for a while!

"Lao Yan, I'm sorry, I didn't consider safety when I designed this device!" Zhao Zhongyao knew that this was his own reason, so. He hurriedly apologized to Yan Mingcheng!

"Forget it, am I a soldier? This is nothing, even if I am wounded, is it still a public injury! It is the same as being injured on the battlefield. ”

Yan Mingcheng is a cheerful person, and he naturally won't worry about Zhao Zhongyao because of this.

"Anyway, this is also my problem, and I have to apologize to you!" Zhao Zhongyao said politely.

"Forget it, Zhongyao, hurry up and talk about how to get this device! Yan Mingcheng said indifferently.

"It seems. We need to improve this device! It's not going to work, it's too dangerous. Zhao Zhongyao also saw the hidden dangers.

"How do you change that, I'll get the workers to work right away. Yan Mingcheng looked at the test device in front of him and said.

"We have to add another protective shield to the outside, so that even if the warhead falls off the track, isn't there no problem!" Zhao Zhongyao had already thought of how to improve it.

"Do you mean to add another iron cage outside!" Yan Mingcheng already understood what Zhao Zhongyao meant.

"That's right, that's what it means, of course, this iron cage should also be made denser, otherwise it will not be easy for the warhead to get out of the gap. Zhao Zhongyao pointed to the test device and gestured to Yan Mingcheng. While telling him to hurry up and make such a protective device.

"Okay, I'll do it right away. There's nothing difficult about this. As soon as Yan Mingcheng heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, he felt that this problem was easy to handle.

"Okay, the experiment just now failed again! It seems that using the metal with the highest melting point 'tungsten' to make a warhead is still not strong enough! I have to think about what other way to use it!" Zhao Zhongyao saw that the metal with the highest melting point was still melted at a high temperature with high-speed rotation just now, and he felt that this matter might be a little troublesome.

"Let's go and design the new warhead! I'll design the shield. "Although Yan Mingcheng is not a military expert. But if you want to design an iron cage, I'm afraid it can still be done. Are you also a college student who graduated from a regular military academy?

"Okay, then that's it, you go design the shield, I'll design the new warhead. ”

After the division of labor between the two. And it got back to work.

Zhao Zhongyao returned to his temporary office, he sat at his desk, thinking about what to do!

When he thought about it, he remembered that he once saw a military magazine in his life that said that an alloy slug was very powerful.

At that time, that kind of warhead was an alloy warhead made of tungsten carbide. Such a warhead is very hard and can be used as an armor-piercing projectile.

"If you have it, you can use tungsten carbide as the warhead of a ballistic missile, so that it will not be destroyed by the high temperature when flying at high speeds. ”

Zhao Zhongyao is a reborn person, when he develops weapons, he naturally doesn't have to take too many detours, after all, he has a lot of experience in his previous life to learn from!

Jonnis and Wesley, on the other hand, were not good at their apprentices, who had no previous experience to draw on. If you want to talk about experience, it is only some of the experience of Jonis, an old military industry, in the past in developing weapons.

However, these experiences are somewhat insignificant compared with the military science and technology of the 21 st century that Zhao Zhongyao has mastered.

With this idea, Zhao Zhongyao quickly designed a new missile warhead. And the workers were asked to quickly produce this new type of tungsten carbide alloy warhead.

At this time, Yan Mingcheng had already produced the protective cover of the test device. It was also installed on the test device.

"COSCO, how about it, have you developed your new missile?"

After Yan Mingcheng installed his device, he went to Zhao Zhongyao's office to call him.

"I've already developed it, have you done a good job of the protective cover of that test device!" Zhao Zhongyao also asked about Yan Mingcheng's development.

"It's all loaded, just waiting for your new missile!" Yan Mingcheng said happily as he looked at Zhao Zhongyao.

"Well, let's continue our experimental work on the new warhead. ”

As the two spoke, they came to the laboratory again.

"Zhongyao, what kind of metal is the warhead you developed this time? Why does it look a little black!" Yan Mingcheng asked very curiously as soon as he saw Zhao Zhongyao take out a jet-black and shiny warhead from the workshop.

"It's called a carbode-tungsten alloy warhead. Zhao Zhongyao said as he fixed the warhead on the circular track of the test device.

"Tungsten carbide warhead! Interesting, can this warhead withstand higher temperatures than pure 'tungsten' metal missiles!" Yan Mingcheng looked at the new warhead in front of him with some curiosity.

"That's right, theoretically, this tungsten carbide warhead can withstand temperatures of four or five thousand degrees. Such high temperatures are difficult to produce even when a ballistic missile is diving. Therefore, this warhead is, theoretically an ideal ballistic missile warhead. ”

Zhao Zhongyao fixed the warhead, then looked back at Yan Mingcheng, and gave him some of the performance of this warhead.

"Oh, I see! Okay, let's hurry up and test! If the test is successful, we will be regarded as a big step towards the successful development of ballistic missiles!"

Yan Mingcheng also knows that the biggest problem encountered in the ballistic missile they are going to develop now is the problem of the warhead's high temperature resistance.

If this problem is solved, it will be much easier to develop the ballistic missile body itself.

"Yes! This is a crucial step! It depends on whether this experiment can be successful. Zhao Zhongyao also knows that this test is very important and is the key to whether or not a ballistic missile can be successfully developed.

"Okay, let's start quickly!" Yan Mingcheng was also a little impatient.

"Hmm!Let's go!" Zhao Zhongyao said as he pressed the start button of the test device again.

"Whew!" the test device began to spin rapidly.

"One minute, two minutes - ten minutes - half an hour - an hour. ”

An hour has passed, and the test device is still spinning rapidly, while the tungsten carbide alloy warhead is still spinning at high speed in orbit, and it does not look like it is about to catch fire at all.

"Haha, okay, Zhongyao, we finally succeeded. When Yan Mingcheng saw this situation, he jumped up happily.

"yes! Zhao Zhongyao went over and turned off the power of the test device.

Together, the two watched carefully as the circular track on the test device slowly stopped.

After Zhao Zhongyao waited for the circular orbit to stop, he saw that the tungsten carbide warhead was still fixed in the orbit and had not been deformed at all. (To be continued.) )
