Chapter 217: Big Men Have a Hard Time Moving
It is extremely high-tech for a missile to fly at high speed in the air while maintaining stability, especially after flying a certain distance. For example www.biquge.info some countries can only guarantee that missiles will fly for tens of kilometers, and no matter how far the missiles go, they don't know where they will go.
For example, Ah San's Agni missile, after flying out, did a random and irregular movement, and flew to the point where it didn't know where even the army could not find it. In fact, India has conducted several experiments, but so far it has not been able to achieve even one complete effective guidance, and in the end the missile will always lose control.
Therefore, once India and A-San carry out long-range ballistic missile experiments, the whole world will have to activate the air defense emergency plan, and maybe the missile will fly over its head.
Lao Ke's missile stabilization technology is not electronic, but a complex purely mechanical mechanism, which is completely different from the gyroscope. Even Chen Xu can't understand the working principle of this thing, but after experiments, it has been proved that the effect is remarkable on a small missile, so that the stability of domestic surface-to-air missiles has been qualitatively improved, and in the case of backward domestic guidance technology, the missile still has an accurate head after flying 500 kilometers and can fly out in a straight line.
And according to Lao Ke, if this mechanical structure is equipped with a communication device, it can also be remotely controlled or automatically guided.
That is to say, even if the missile flies hundreds of kilometers away, it can be adjusted by remote control for simple maneuvering. If it is changed to electronic chip automatic guidance control, the missile can automatically identify the active target in the air, and then maneuver in high-altitude and high-speed flight to change direction to attack the target.
This kind of intelligent guidance method is extremely advanced, and it has always been the patent of the United States and the Soviet Union, and if the flower growers can study it on their own, then it will fill a shortcoming in national defense.
Chen Xu adhered to the idea that talking is better than nothing, and allocated funds for Lao Ke to conduct research on this self-guided missile, and if it is done, it will be a great achievement, and if it is not done, he will make persistent efforts.
"I guess it will come in handy! As long as I improve the stabilization mechanism, the principle is about the same. Lao Ke also hesitated to be sure, after all, the difference in size and weight between the missile and the nuclear-powered spacecraft is huge, and even he can't be 100% sure that his stabilization mechanism can maintain the same effect on both aircraft.
Chen Xu also understands that the most rare thing for a rocket to fly in the air is to ensure a stable attitude, especially for a liquid fuel spacecraft, and the internal counterweight is slightly unbalanced, even if the fuel shakes a few times, the rocket may somersault when flying, and the result is a volley explosion.
The biggest advantage of the Gram missile flight stabilization device is that even if the internal counterweight of the missile is unbalanced, it can still adjust and balance it in time to maintain the stability of the flight. The principle is incredible, and I have to say that this is an eye-catching invention in Lao Ke's life.
"Lao Ke, you do the math! Wait for the supercomputer to be put into use next year, put a model of the stabilization device into a nuclear-powered spacecraft and calculate it to see if your stabilization device is really useful, and if it is feasible, then it is not impossible to install it on the ship. Chen Xu thought about it and felt that there was a set of Lao Ke's stabilization device on the rocket, which was equivalent to an extra layer of insurance, which would undoubtedly be safer.
"Thank you, boss, I won't let you down." Lao Ke rubbed his hands and said excitedly, as soon as Chen Xu's golden mouth was opened, a large amount of funds were in hand, and no one could help but be happy.
"Don't just focus on rockets, you can't stop designing anti-aircraft missiles. Our rocket will inevitably encounter the impact of meteorites or other fragments in the sky, I hope that the anti-aircraft missiles you make can become smaller and smaller, more and more powerful, and more and more accurate, and sooner or later they will be installed on the rocket as part of the spacecraft's close defense system! "The space environment of the universe is complex, full of flying meteorites, and if a nuclear-powered spacecraft goes on a trip to Mars, it will inevitably encounter various possible impacts on the way.
A nuclear-powered spacecraft is tens of thousands of tons, and the crew may be hundreds of people, and if it is not equipped with some defensive weapons, a meteorite may lead to the destruction of the ship, and the casualties will be very heavy. Although the weaponization of space will touch the fragile nerves of the United States and the Soviet Union, Chen Xu can't care so much, for the safety of his astronauts, how worried the United States and the Soviet Union are about his.
"Don't worry, you can't delay either thing!" Lao Ke immediately made a guarantee, getting Chen Xu's military warrant is equivalent to participating in the Mars program, not only can he get more research and development funds for his missile defense team, but he can also get more honors if the rocket is successfully launched in the future.
Lao Ke has had enough of the life of herding horses and sheep in Inner Mongolia, so he attaches great importance to fame and power, although this is a bit of a philistine, but this is also the driving force for him to make inventions and move forward, so even if his thinking fails, it will not delay Chen Xu to reuse this person.
At this time, Zhao Anren was still frowning, and interjected and continued: "According to the preliminary plan, the space city must not only have the ability to launch tens of thousands of tons of nuclear-powered spacecraft, but also have the launch function of super-large conventional solid-state rockets, in short, a base must be able to be used multiple times. ”
"That's right! We don't have the time or money to build separate launch bases, so one base has to complete all the launch tasks. Chen Xu nodded affirmatively.
"It's really hard to imagine how big such a space city should be, and the assembly workshop for a purely nuclear-powered rocket is huge. I didn't even know how to design such a huge workshop, and the key was to install a huge door that would allow rockets to get in and out, which was no ordinary trouble. Zhao Anren smiled bitterly and shook his head, the nuclear-powered rocket is huge, so it must be assembled directly in the space city, and then launched in place, it is difficult to move such a large thing.
However, the nuclear-powered spacecraft is powered by a nuclear explosion, and if it moves outside the workshop to take off, it is unrealistic for the assembly workshop next to it to resist the nuclear explosion without collapsing.
This also meant that the assembly shop had to be discarded almost once in use, making it difficult to reuse it so close to a nuclear explosion.
"This is my negligence, if the assembly shop can only be used once, I hope it is strong enough to block most of the power of the nuclear explosion during the launch, so that it does not affect the safety of other buildings in the space city behind." Chen Xu knew that he couldn't be strong, Zhao Anren was just an architect, not a physicist, and he couldn't make a building take on so many functions.
The assembly workshop of a nuclear-powered spacecraft is expensive, and Chen Xu is reluctant to use it only once, so he will think of a way to move a nuclear-powered spacecraft. If it really doesn't work, you can only use the assembly workshop as a shield to help the space city block the shock wave of the nuclear explosion as mentioned earlier.
"How to solve the problem of electromagnetic pulse waves? Do you turn off all electronic devices at launch? Suddenly, a designer interjected and asked.
"Oops! I really forgot about this! Chen Xu patted his head and suddenly remembered another crucial problem, that is, when the nuclear bomb explodes, it will produce an extremely strong electromagnetic pulse, destroying all the electronic equipment within a certain range of the explosion center.
The development of computer technology in the Soviet Union has been lagging behind because it is considered that the electromagnetic pulse waves of the outbreak of a nuclear war will induce electrical equipment along the current, and then burn all the electrical equipment, especially semiconductors. Therefore, Soviet-made weapons do not have too advanced computer equipment, and more use electronic vacuum tube calculators that are protected against electromagnetic waves.
Old-fashioned equipment is not susceptible to electromagnetic pulses, and it can be said that Soviet-made weapons were developed on the basis of nuclear warfare. This also led to Soviet-made weapons being stupid and coarse, and far inferior in accuracy to American-made weapons controlled by computer chips.
However, the US imperialists are also very afraid of the attack of electromagnetic pulse, so their nuclear shelters are filled with stupid and ugly old-fashioned cabinets comparable to refrigerators, and the brand is definitely IBM.
Not only will the instantaneous electromagnetic pulse radiation be generated during the nuclear explosion, but the sun will also produce electromagnetic radiation in space, and don't forget that the sun itself is a huge nuclear fusion reactor, so the spacecraft must be protected against electromagnetic pulses. The energy of the electromagnetic pulse is attenuated to a degree that the electronic device can withstand by reflecting and absorbing the electromagnetic pulse energy through conductive and magnetic materials.
"Write it down! The research and development of electromagnetic pulse protection materials must keep up in time, if this problem is not solved, all talk about how much the spacecraft will be built is delusional! Chen Xu patted the table and motioned to his subordinates to make a record and take this matter as one of the key issues to be solved in the future.
Electromagnetic pulse protection is not a big problem, the US imperialists' Air Force One can be shielded, especially the aerospace science and technology department has a long-term research on this science, so there is no need to start from scratch, just go directly to the China National Space Administration for help.
It's just that if you want the China National Space Administration to release information, people will definitely not want to do it in vain, and in the end, it is inevitable that Chen Xu will use money or other technologies to exchange, different units have different interests, and people can't pay you for nothing without any benefits.
Chen Xu still hopes that the whole plan can be fully supported by the imperial capital, as long as the imperial capital can agree to the resources of the whole country to be deployed by himself, with the support of the whole country, he can save an unknown amount of funds.
However, with the opposition of the company's senior management to the Mars landing plan, Chen Xu was worried that the imperial capital would also strongly oppose this matter, so he would have no choice but to rely on his own strength to carry out this plan, but the manpower and material resources paid were several times that of before.
