The veteran technician apparently knew a lot about the development of rocket artillery.

His words made the other technicians who knew the inside story nod their heads constantly, and everyone almost all had the same idea.

Liu Yue's plan is too aggressive.

Even Zheng Jianguo and the others were frightened when they heard Liu Yue's range.

If Liu Yue had said that he would have carried out MLRS for 40 or 50 kilometers, they would not have an opinion.

But now Liu Yue actually said that he wanted to engage in multiple rocket launchers with a range of 120 kilometers.

It's scary!

With the technical ability of the 2186 factory to transform the 107 rocket launcher, it is simply impossible.

Not to mention the 2186 factory, the technical reserves of the entire 002 base have not been successful.

Liu Yue didn't explain, he knew that this kind of range was too challenging and difficult for technicians in this era.

The main rocket artillery in China has always been 122 and 130 medium-caliber rocket artillery, with a range of less than 20 kilometers.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the only long-range rocket artillery project was the 273-mm multiple rocket launcher developed by the 123 manufacturing plant, which has not been successful until now.

"In terms of range, we can discuss it later, and I will first introduce to you the overall plan I considered earlier. The 273 multiple rocket launchers use two 2X2 container launch boxes, and the entire launch system can fire 8 rockets at a time. The rocket does not have any guidance system, and uses tail flame spin technology to make the rocket spin slowly during flight, and adds a tail fin to the tail of the rocket to improve the shooting accuracy of the rocket......"

No one objected to the technology that Liu Yue said.

Because what he said, everyone doesn't know very well.

As for how many combinations, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that the 120-kilometer range, which is simply not possible, is not possible to achieve.

"In addition, not only the design of the rocket, but also the design of the warhead. If a single warhead, for a rocket of this range, it will not be effective, cope with the needs of various tasks, and waste the range......"

Every time Liu Yue said something, the expressions of the technicians below became solemn.

Plant 2186 is now a completely empty shelf.

The technicians here do not have a good technical foundation and rich experience.

The newly developed 273-mm MLRS was designed from start to finish, which was too reluctant.

If you can't even come up with a 107 multiple rocket launcher improvement plan to satisfy your superiors, how can you make a new design?

MLRS, that's a full-fledged design of the whole system.

"I know that people find it difficult, and even suspect that our domestic technology can't do it. In fact, this is not difficult, the rocket engine is not much different from the 107 rocket engine, except for some structural improvements, the working environment is harsh, and the engine quality and combustion efficiency need to be higher......"

Liu Yue looked at the expressions on the technicians' faces and knew what they were worried about.

Even if you know that everyone's foundation is poor, you can't help but start this project.

Not only for the survival of the 2186 factory, but also for the country not to waste too much money on this.

What is the situation of the rocket artillery engaged in by the 123 factory, Liu Yue knows.

The 273-mm multiple rocket launcher of the 123 plant became the basic model of domestic heavy rocket artillery, and later made a lot of improvements in this design.

The WM-80 type 273 mm rocket launcher has a maximum range of 80 kilometers, and it also improves many defects such as the single warhead of the 273 rocket launcher and the firing range of only 40 kilometers. The transformed rocket artillery has reached an international high level in terms of range and power.

But in the face of such multiple rocket launchers, the army of the entire country did not mass-produce and equip the WM-80 multiple rocket launchers, and only equipped a small number of troops for combat tests.

Although in the end, the state did not announce a clear reason for not equipping, Liu Yue, as an industry insider, naturally knew that this kind of rocket artillery was looked down upon by the troops, after all, because the range was too close, the combat effectiveness was too poor, and the accuracy was insufficient.

In order to avoid wasting R&D funds, Liu Yuecai came up with such a design.

Straight in one step.

The firing range of 120 km is simply not enough for the many models of rocket artillery developed by the countries behind.

The Guardian has the longest range, which is nearly 500 kilometers.

At present, rocket artillery with a range of 120 kilometers can meet the needs of national defense construction and development.

In order to implement the national defense policy of strategic defense, military spending is pitifully small, and it must be cost-effective enough to not lag behind for many years in order to be favored by the troops.

Not only for national defense needs, rocket artillery of this range is also more suitable for the international market.

Xu Minghui felt that Liu Yue's plan was too aggressive.

reminded Liu Yue in front of everyone, "If you don't cut the range by half, 60 kilometers will already exceed the country's original 273-mm rocket artillery development task requirements, reaching 150% of the range of Factory 123......"

Xu Minghui felt that the shorter the range, the easier it would be to develop.

He was a well-intentioned proposal, but Liu Yue directly rejected it.

"Mr. Xu, any indicator can be compromised, and the firing range must reach 120 kilometers to be sufficient! Our rocket artillery is used for long-range tactical support, 4 or 50 kilometers, and domestic heavy artillery can easily reach this range by using concave range extender projectiles or rocket range extender projectiles. Outside the range of the cannons, there was a lack of fire support. Rocket artillery, which is an extension of the range of heavy artillery......"

It was because of the need of the troops that this rocket artillery was finally developed, and it was equipped in small quantities.

On the 273-mm rocket artillery, even if it was needed, in the end it was only equipped with the first batch of two battalions, the range was too close, and the accuracy was too poor......

Later, even if the 273 developed the WM-80 type, and the WM-120 type 273 mm multiple rocket launchers, they were not equipped with any of them.

These developed models can only find customers internationally.

The amount that can be exported is not very ideal, and even the R&D funds have not been recovered.

The only reason is still because the range is not enough and the accuracy is too poor......

The troops are really equipped with only 300 long-range fires with a range of 120 km......

Liu Yue's design is much higher than the technical performance indicators of the WM-80 273 mm multiple rocket launcher, except for the caliber, other indicators are in accordance with the 300 long-range fire of the army's equipment, as long as the domestic technical foundation can be reached, he has even improved a lot.

He did not think that the troops could reject such a design without equipping.

Now that the troops are short of equipment, it is completely possible to design a new generation of 300-mm multiple rocket launchers after they have a development foundation, and use the 273 multiple rocket launchers for export to earn foreign exchange for the country.

According to Liu Yue's original design plan, the warhead needs to reach 150 kg, and the total weight of the entire rocket is about 817 kg.

Liu Yue directly told the public the specific theoretical data in his design plan.

The technicians below are completely unable to refute it.

They don't even know the plan or anything, these things that Liu Yue said need to be demonstrated, just listen to it, how to refute it?

"In addition, to achieve such a range, the rocket must use a new solid fuel as a propellant, and the solid fuel formulation, I also have a perfect ...... here"

Although Liu Yue put forward all the details of the whole plan, in the end, no one is optimistic about the whole plan.

There is only one reason - the technical difficulty is too great!

Until Liu Yue's introduction, the technical conference room was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

There was no applause, no cheers.

Even the joy that everyone thought that they could defeat Factory 2109 with this project disappeared.

Everyone's faces were solemn.

Everyone is now worried that after Liu Yue, a blind and reckless young technical leader, leads the work, the 2186 factory will go bankrupt at a faster rate.

When Zheng Jianguo saw that everyone was being stumped, he immediately slapped the table, stood up with a fierce face, and said loudly to everyone: "Isn't it just a multiple rocket launcher! Didn't we say that we had to go up if there were difficulties, and we had to go up even more if there were no difficulties? Now that we are in trouble, why don't we work on this project? Everyone work hard, endure some hardships, work hard to tackle key problems, defy hardships, overcome all difficulties, and strive to get this project out!"

Xu Minghui looked at Zheng Jianguo with a bitter expression.

"Factory director, this is not something that can be done by showing determination and shouting slogans. This requires technical reserves and a lot of design work......"

Although Xu Minghui's work ability is not strong, he still has a clear understanding of the research and development system of rocket artillery.

Liu Yue, the difficulty is not a big one.
