Chapter 645: An Unexpected Development Problem
"I really didn't expect that a rocket launcher could be turned into a treasure bag in Xiao Lu's hands!" A month later, Guo Qingshan, who had finished attending the "General Weapon Launch System Development Plan" meeting in Beijing, had just walked out of the conference room and let out a sigh of emotion.
"Yes!" Navy Commander Jiang Huichuan, who was walking beside him, nodded, and said slowly with an excited expression: "But I still think we should put more effort into the navy, you must know that the universal co-launch technology is too important for the navy!"
As soon as Jiang Huichuan's words fell, Luan Zhen, chief of staff of the Air Force, who was carrying a briefcase on the other side, shook his head disapprovingly: "Isn't the Air Force important? If an air defense system can integrate three types of missiles, far, medium, and near, not only can the cost be saved by one-third, but its combat capability can be increased by more than 50 percent!"
"Okay, okay, no matter how anxious you are, you have to start with our army's new rocket artillery!" At this time, Song Renming walked over from behind, with a proud look between his words:
"The long-term goal is good, but no matter what, this meal must be eaten one bite at a time, so it is still necessary to train the team on rocket artillery and reserve technology."
Looking at Song Renming's proud appearance as if a primary school student had won the first place in the class, Jiang Huichuan and Luan Zhen, who were familiar with him, naturally pouted, and the jokes and ridicule between words were naturally not a problem, but Song Renming didn't care, because he could hear the jealousy and unwillingness in the words of these two old acquaintances, but there was no way, as he said, the basis was the new rocket artillery.
Jiang Huichuan and Luan Zhen naturally knew this, because at the meeting just now, they formulated a 10-year long-term plan for a general-purpose launch system, striving to use the time of the two five-year plans to build a general-purpose weapon launch system of the world's advanced level.
As for the specific planning plan, it is a three-step process: First, on the basis of the new rocket artillery, we will initially explore the principle of "joint launch of missiles and arrows," understand and master the technology of long-term storage of ammunition, expand the types and models of ammunition, overcome the difficulties of common interfaces, and train a contingent of qualified personnel; second, on this basis, we will develop a launch system with partial generalization capability as a theoretical verification and transition; and finally, we will strive to complete the practical development of a generalized launch system in the mid-90s.
This long-term plan has not only won the unanimous support of the leaders of all branches of the armed forces, but also received strong support from the top level, just two days ago, Comrade Xiao ~~ Ping, who attended the enlarged meeting of the Military ~~ Committee, specifically mentioned that this has great potential when talking about the development of the military industry.
Although there are not many words to talk about the development plan for weapons and equipment that leads the trend, it is tantamount to giving a "sword of Shang Fang" against the background of tight funds, and it is against this background that the "development plan for the development of general-purpose weapons launch systems" can be successfully concluded without hindrance.
With the support of the high-level and the results of the meeting, Jiang Huichuan and Luan Zhen can be said to have taken two reassuring pills, as long as they continue to develop step by step, they will be equipped with a general-purpose weapon launch system in a few years, but both of them are soldiers, and the consciousness of striving for the first has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, so how can the two of them endure it when they hear Song Renming showing off their own competition, even if they can't get the first, they can't fall behind in words.
Fortunately, several people are old comrades-in-arms, old comrades, there are more jokes than-for-tat, hearty laughter is better than unwilling sighs, but for some reason, a few people are talking and talking, and suddenly the collective silence begins, so that the guards and confidential secretaries who follow several people look at each other in puzzlement, thinking which of these chiefs are singing?
"It's a pity that Xiao Lu is not here!"
The guards and confidential secretaries didn't wait too long, and with Guo Qingshan's helpless sigh, they finally knew the answer, and the chiefs didn't sing what silence was golden, but they all remembered the young man who was far away in the southwest
"Even if it's a foundation, it's not a very difficult subject!" As soon as Guo Qingshan's voice fell, Song Renming raised his eyes to look at the dusky sky above the southwest, and said meaningfully:
"The time is tight, the task is heavy, and the technical difficulty is high, if he leaves, the whole project may be suspended!"
After listening to Song Renming's words, the other people didn't speak again, just nodded slightly, and then invariably raised their eyes to look southwest
At this moment, in the comprehensive research laboratory of the Wanshan Plant in the southwest, Lu Jiadong did not have the leisure and leisure of several military leaders thousands of kilometers away to look far away and express his feelings, but stared closely at the several flickering computer screens in front of him.
Even if the current Wanshan Plant has a mature response plan for this kind of emergency military project, as a far-reaching long-term project, Lu Jiadong hopes to lay a solid foundation in the early stage.
Facts have shown that Lu Jiadong's choice is very correct, because even he himself did not expect that the research and development of the new rocket artillery would encounter so many difficulties; on the one hand, the technical starting point of the new rocket artillery is high, and the development is difficult; on the other hand, the entire Wanshan military production complex has almost zero experience in this regard, so the research and development work of the new rocket artillery has been difficult since the project was formally approved
"Although most of the indicators are normal in the report just sent by the ammunition group, the electrostatic indicators still can't reach a reasonable range and can't meet the requirements.
Zhang Aiguo sat in front of the computer, his hands kept tapping on the keyboard, making a crisp crackling sound, and after a while, with the knocking of the enter key, a pair of 122 mm rocket directional tube electrostatic current diagram appeared on the computer screen, Lu Jiadong, who was standing behind Zhang Aiguo, looked at the high temperature heat flow rising on the surface of the box, and his frowning brows became tighter and tighter.
Because the new rocket artillery adopts a box-type structure, it is necessary to pre-load the rocket into the directional tube and assemble it into a box, which seems simple, but in fact it is extremely complicated, but the ammunition group with the Guinan Plant as the core did not regard this matter as a big deal at the beginning.
"Isn't it just a dress for the rockets, this is a trivial matter for the Guinan Factory, which has produced 107 and 130 rockets!"
At the project layout meeting, the person in charge from the Guinan factory slapped his chest loudly, but he didn't expect that after the relevant work was carried out, he found that this set of clothes was not so simple, from the initial directional tube strength problem to the rapid electromechanical connection technology of the box structure and the launcher;
From anti-gas cautery, impact, to long-term storage sealing technology, the new technology and new process involved, it is unimaginable, until this time, Guinan plant re-realized the technical complexity of box rockets, fortunately, Guinan plant has a wealth of technical accumulation in rockets, coupled with the assistance and guidance of experts such as Zhao Rusong and Liu Liang, Guinan plant quickly broke through the obstacles and got on the right track, but even so, the samples just submitted were still found in Lu Jiadong's personal testing still found very serious technical problems:
"After reviewing the report and samples, I can conclude that the ammunition group did not take the anti-static issue into account!"
At this time, Lu Jiadong had already picked up the phone, and Liu Liang on the other end of the phone was extremely uneasy when he heard Lu Jiadong's extremely rare stern voice, and recalled the stereotyped plan he had drafted by himself, and then he defended himself:
"We really didn't think about it, because we thought that since the rocket was so tightly connected and filled with inert gases such as nitrogen, maybe there would be no problem with static electricity!"
"You also said maybe, then why don't you confirm this point?" Lu Jiadong said with some annoyance: "In the process of transportation or marching, even if the ammunition in the storage and transportation launch box is fixed, it will rub against the wall of the non-metallic directional tube, resulting in static electricity, once it accumulates enough power and cannot be released in time, it is very likely to lead to the electrostatic ignition of the rocket engine, how serious the consequences are, do you know?"
Some technologies can improve combat effectiveness, while others are to protect one's own lives, and if the negligence of the developers leads to the needless bloodshed or even sacrifice of the soldiers rushing to the battlefield, it is not only the unqualified weapons and equipment, but also the dereliction of duty of the developers behind them.
Because of this, Lu Jiadong, who has always been mild-tempered, will be angry, and this also makes Liu Liang on the other end of the phone feel unprecedented pressure, in fact, he also knows the importance of weapons and equipment safety issues, but he just wants to seek some understanding from his superiors for his team, so he mustered up the courage to defend himself, but he did not expect to be reprimanded by Lu Jiadong, fortunately, he had received a test notice of unqualified electrostatic indicators at noon, so as soon as Lu Jiadong finished speaking, he quickly said the plan he had just prepared:
"I considered applying an anti-static coating to the inner wall of the directional tube to minimize the chance of static electricity being generated"
"What I want is not the lowest, but a complete elimination!" Lu Jiadong's tone was still unquestionable, and then he rubbed his eyebrows with his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he continued:
"Electrostatic coating can be used, in addition, and then build an electrostatic discharge circuit in the directional tube, and at the same time check the fuze assembly circuit and ignition circuit, be sure to control it within the safe current range, imitate the external strong electromagnetic interference and the internal electromagnetic interference of the system to cause potential safety hazards!"
"Understood, Master Lu, I'll do it!"
After explaining the matter of the ammunition group, Lu Jiadong put down the phone and was about to ask Zhang Aiguo to call up the data of other sub-items, when the phone next to him suddenly rang, and Lu Jiadong picked it up:
"Yes, I'm Lu Jiadong, this problem is very serious, I'll go over!"
Half an hour later, a train from southern Yunnan slowly left Sanlin City, because of a problem, so Lu Jiadong had to rush to the southern Yunnan special vehicle factory in person (to be continued). )
