Chapter 644: The Real Purpose: Universal Launch System

"Torpedoes from rocket artillery? How is this possible?"

"Isn't that too bold?"

"Bazookas, torpedoes, no matter how you look at them, it's not a kind of thing!"

"I always feel a little taken for granted!"

Lu Jiadong's sentence of firing a torpedo with rocket artillery was like a boulder falling into the calm lake, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves, which immediately caused an uproar in the venue, some shook their heads helplessly, some stared at the shining curtain on the stage with confusion, some whispered one after another, and some said their thoughts loudly and unabashedly.

Anyway, no matter what the demeanor and words of the people in the venue were, all in all, no one was optimistic about Lu Jiadong's idea, and he had heard of rocket artillery hitting far away, and he had also seen rocket artillery hit hard, but using rocket artillery to launch torpedoes to hit submarines was really beyond the scope of thinking of these military industry leaders

"Xiao Lu, your idea is good, but it doesn't go beyond today's topic? You must know that today's discussion is only pure rocket artillery, and does not involve other weapons and equipment!"

Guo Qingshan has always supported Lu Jiadong, but even so, when he listened to Lu Jiadong's words, he shook his head in disapproval, how do you think the combination of rocket artillery and torpedoes is so unreliable, but as the initiator of this meeting and a supporter of Lu Jiadong,

Guo Qingshan couldn't watch the young man he admired run away on the unattainable wrong path no matter what, so when everyone was talking, he took on the role of "brake plate". used meaningful words to try to get Lu Jiadong back on the right path, but what surprised him was. Lu Jiadong, who was extremely smart just now to resolve Song Renming's embarrassment, was like drinking ecstasy soup at the moment, but he didn't take his words seriously, and shook his head stubbornly:

"Minister Guo, since the sub-warhead, the terminal sensitive warhead, and even the guided warhead can be integrated into the rocket and launched by rocket artillery, why can't the warhead be replaced with a torpedo?"

"An army. A navy!" Seeing Lu Jiadong's stubbornness, Guo Qingshan's face also sank slightly: "It's just clear, how can it be mixed together?"

"That being the case. And what about anti-submarine missiles and their launchers?"

"Anti-submarine missiles and their launchers are naturally benevolent? Wait? What did you just say? Anti-submarine missiles?"

Guo Qingshan really didn't know what medicine Lu Jiadong had taken wrong today, why he was so stubborn, and he was a little angry. The pitch also increased dramatically. However, as soon as he said half of his words, he stopped abruptly, and the other people at the meeting also reacted at this moment, they are all old rivers and lakes who are crawling in the field of military industry, how can they not know what anti-submarine missiles are all about, but everyone's eyes are all focused on rocket artillery, so that their thinking is somewhat solidified, but Lu Jiadong said so. Naturally, I think clearly.

The so-called anti-submarine missile is actually the product of the combination of a torpedo warhead and a rocket booster. As for the launcher, from a certain angle, it is very clear from the box-type rocket artillery mechanism that Lu Jiadong just mentioned, and when he understands this, the confused eyes of the people present suddenly brightened, and Guo Qingshan, who was sitting in the front row, was even more excited, and said to Lu Jiadong on the stage:

"Could it be that on this basis we can develop our own anti-submarine missiles?"

"Yes, Xiao Lu, if you can really use the new rocket artillery system to get anti-submarine missiles out, then the significance will be too great!" Song Renming was also with irrepressible excitement.

The reason why the two highest-ranking military cadres at the scene were so difficult to hold themselves was because they knew the importance of anti-submarine missiles, and they also knew that the navy almost had to step on the threshold of the General Staff Armament Department and the Military Scientific Equipment Research Institute in order to seek this new type of equipment.

However, if we do what Lu Jiadong said, the use of box-type rocket launchers combined with the modified rockets is not exactly the anti-submarine missile that the Navy has been waiting for for a long time? Moreover, such a transformation is based on the army's new rocket artillery system, so it costs a lot of money to develop the urgently needed equipment of the two services.

No matter from which point of view, it is a cost-effective deal, as long as it is a normal person, it will be so excited, according to the thinking of normal people, seeing the leader so excited and excited, he should accept it when he sees it, but Lu Jiadong is not a normal person, but a traveler with big dreams, so his thinking can never stay here:

"As I said before, rocket launcher torpedoes are just a microcosm of multifunctionality, so can we expand a little bit more, what if laser-guided bombs are added to rockets?"

Hearing Lu Jiadong's words, whether it was Guo Qingshan, Song Renming, or other people in the audience, they were all slightly stunned, but this seemingly even more unreliable proposal was not discussed and opposed by everyone like rocket artillery and torpedoes, because they were shocked too much today.

From the "projectile and arrow co-frame" launch technology to the rocket artillery firing torpedoes, everyone in the venue was a little numb at the same time, but finally understood a fact, that is, the young man standing on the stage at this moment is by no means a whimsical fantasist, but a prepared doer, because of this, when Lu Jiadong is gradually falling, the patience of listening surpasses the irritability of incomprehension, and the expectant gaze replaces the doubt, so Lu Jiadong's words did not stop, but continued:

"Zhao Rusong of our factory, Professor Zhao at the end of last year tried to produce a small laser-guided missile with a diameter of about 300mm, its basic combat principle is the same as most laser-guided bombs, but Professor Zhao added a set of extended-range gliding components called 'diamond back' to the original low-resistance bomb, so that the bomb has a gliding range of nearly 70 kilometers when dropped at high altitude!"

Seeing this picture, in the taste of what Lu Jiadong just said, the people present were extremely surprised, Song Renming stared at the picture on the screen in disbelief, and said in surprise:

"The gliding distance of 70 kilometers, if it is accompanied by a 300 mm rocket, the range is easily more than 100 kilometers, if it is used properly, its accuracy is not lost to missiles, as for the cost, bombs and rockets are much lower than missiles, in the case of the overall backwardness of our air force equipment, this combination of laser-guided bombs and rockets can completely make up for the shortcomings of the air force, which is of great significance to our army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a strategic-level weapon!"

It is of great significance, but Song Renming did not feel that there was anything wrong with it, because in his opinion, if this rocket is really equipped with troops, it can be said that the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops will be increased exponentially, especially in the case of a weak air force and limited support for the army, this rocket is undoubtedly the best "air attack" weapon in the hands of the army.

Not only did Song Renming and Lu Jiadong give a very high evaluation of the new rocket just proposed, but Guo Qingshan, who was sitting next to him, was the same, but at this time, in addition to praising Lu Jiadong's imaginative thinking ability and unparalleled talent, he seemed to have a different meaning from Lu Jiadong's series of various equipment and rocket artillery, and after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly felt a little incredulous, but it was immediately replaced by an indescribable smile, locked his throat raised his eyes to look at Lu Jiadong, and asked meaningfully:

"Xiao Lu, you said so many new rockets, it should be more than that!"

After listening to Guo Qingshan's words, Song Renming, who was happy to find a new type of rocket that was enough to change the army's combat mode, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking back to the new equipment and combinations that Lu Jiadong said just now, he reacted, looked at Lu Jiadong in surprise, and said noncommittally:

"Do you want to make a box rocket launcher a universal launch system?"

"Why can't we?"

With Lu Jiadong's rhetorical question, his true purpose officially emerged, that is, to rely on the compatibility of new rocket artillery systems and "projectiles and arrows together" Launch technology, to create China's own three-armed universal launch system, but because of this, it is enough to shock the people on the scene, but Lu Jiadong did not feel uneasy or excited because the real purpose surfaced, but still with an indifferent but confident smile, changed the slide again, and then glanced at the vertical co-frame launch system he drew by himself behind him, and said in a calm tone:

"At present, the 'Reif' missile vertical launch system developed by the Soviet Union is the naval version of the road-based S-300 air defense missile, and to a certain extent, it can be used by both militaries; the United States, which is not far behind, has developed a more advanced 'missile co-frame' launcher, MK-- 41 vertical launch system, and actively carry out land modification for this purpose, in comparison, we are lagging behind the entire era in this regard, so why don't we take the development of new rocket artillery as an opportunity to explore China's own universal co-launch system?"

"Based on the principle of co-launch of new rocket artillery!"

"Gradually integrate all kinds of advanced rockets and missiles!"

Guo Qingshan and Song Renming glanced at each other, with an indescribable look of excitement in their tones, like old friends who have not seen each other for many years, and they are reunited after a long absence:

"Lao Guo, do you say that the old guys of the Navy and the Air Force will not be able to sleep for three days and three nights when they are excited about this?"

"I don't know about this, but I know that we two old guys are guaranteed to be unable to sleep today."

With that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and a moment later the entire conference room was drowned out with countless laughs (to be continued). )
