When he left the naval headquarters, Li Mo's mood was mixed with heaviness and relief. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The heavy burden is due to the current economic situation and diplomatic environment in Somalia, which makes it difficult for Somalia to form a modern blue-water navy. Somalia is already 'eye-catching' enough in the world, and if it is established in bankruptcy, it will undoubtedly declare Somalia's ambitions to the world, which is a serious threat to those old and new naval powers.

Unlike the army and air force, although the modern air force has made people realize that its use in warfare is irreplaceable and important, the navy, as an ancient branch of the military, is still a strategic armed force valued by various military powers and naval powers.

On this huge ocean on the earth, the role of the navy is far beyond imagination, and it is an important characteristic of judging a country's economic strength, scientific research and technology, and comprehensive military and armed strength.

In Li Mo's heart, he also hoped that Somalia could have a strong navy, but reason told him that it was unrealistic. With the depletion of oil resources, the Middle East and the Arabian Sea are becoming more and more important, and the Americans will never want to see the emergence of another powerful navy that threatens the interests of the United States and other countries.

However, to Li Mo's gratification, Somalia is poor and weak, but there are still some people who are full of expectations and confidence in the strength of the motherland, and these people work in various positions and devote their efforts to just one point, Somalia will become strong and stand in the forest of the world's strongest.

"Qingqing, record it, I want to meet Ding Huiqiang when I go back." On the helicopter, Li Mo looked at the great rivers and mountains that flashed outside the window, and said with a heavy heart.

Ding Huiqiang's current identity is no longer one of the leaders of the contact group in the dark, but the military attache of the Huaxia Embassy in Somalia, and Lei Zhen is the same, the communication between Huaxia and Li Mo is basically carried out with the two of them as a transit station.

"Okay!" Fan Qingqing opened the laptop on his lap and recorded Li Mo's words.

Baidoa, an important town in western Somalia, is now home to a large number of state-owned, Stellar Group and other Somali private heavy industries because of the definition of a heavy industry base set by the Somali government.

All three companies of the Star Group have branches in the city of Baidoa, the most important of which are the Missile Research Center and the Aerodynamics Research Institute.

Since obtaining the Meteor missile technology provided by Iran, with the help of Iranian engineers, the Starmark Group Aviation has established an aerospace industrial park in the city of Baidoa, and with the overtime work of the engineering units of the Somali Defense Forces and Fang Sihai's construction company, a number of simple factory buildings have been built, and what is still being built in the industrial park is a two-story formal factory building above ground and underground with tighter protection and stronger protection capabilities.

In a simple factory, Li Mo saw a group of technicians from the airline's research department debugging the equipment with the help of Iranian experts, Li Mo did not bother these people, he just looked around casually and listened to the reports of Colonel An Li, the general manager of the airline, and Abic, the deputy general manager in charge of the scientific research department.

Standing on a hillside where a post was set up, Abic pointed to a factory building below and said happily, "Boss, look, these are factories specially used to produce missiles, and over there, where construction is under construction, is the formal plant, we listened to the suggestions of the relevant military departments, the formal factory building is built along the mountain, and the core assembly workshop is placed in the belly of the mountain, which increases the ability of the missile area plant to resist attack." ”

Following Abbik's gaze, Li Mo saw a bare mountain not far from the industrial park, and there were countless construction machinery and trucks working back and forth at the foot of the mountainside.

"Someone seems to be working on the top of the mountain?" Li Mo's gaze was sharp, and he could see some ant-like figures on the bare mountaintop.

Abic was no longer surprised by the boss's eyes, and said with a smile, "That's planting trees, increasing the vegetation on the mountain, and preventing soil erosion from causing serious impact and loss to the factories in the mountain." And the increased vegetation is also an improvement for the hidden surnames here. ”

"Have you done research on the technology provided by Iran? Are there any problems and difficulties? Li Mo asked after inspecting the side.

Abic understood what the boss meant, and said with a smile, "Boss, the Iranians are still very realistic, not only providing complete technology, but also providing a split Meteor 3 ballistic missile. We have formed a group of experts who are studying the technical data and missiles, and some results have already been achieved, and it will take a certain amount of time before we can fully master the technology of missiles. ”

The Meteor-3 missile is a medium-range ballistic missile with a range of 1800 km and a warhead weight of 600 kg. At present, this missile cannot be equipped with a nuclear warhead made of enriched uranium as a nuclear raw material, and can only be used as a conventional surface-to-surface missile to strike the enemy's important military installations and targets.

As far as Li Mo knows, the Iranians have developed the Meteor 3M missile with a longer range and a larger warhead weight, but the Iranians obviously have a hand here and have not given Li Mo the most advanced technology.

"How long will it take us to produce missiles ourselves?" Li Mo's greatest concern is naturally whether the missile can be produced on its own, after all, the missile is a consumable weapon, and the cost is relatively expensive, and if it cannot be produced by itself, the financial pressure will be very great.

Abic's face also became solemn, and he said solemnly, "We have organized several expert discussions on this issue, and have come to the conclusion that it will be completely 100% localized, and it will take 1-2 years, and if some missile electronic equipment is directly ordered from Iran, we can achieve 70% localization, and it will take three months." This is mainly because we have not yet fully understood liquid rocket engines and it will take several months to master. ”

"I remember that now all tactical missiles are using solid-fuel engines? Although the liquid fuel engine is technically mature and has a long working time and is easy to control, it is not conducive to military use. After all, liquid fuel has strong oxidizer and strong reducing agent, which is not conducive to storage, and missiles with liquid fuel rocket engines cannot be loaded with fuel tanks before the missile is launched, and need to be stored separately, which will lead to a longer preparation time for missile launch, even several hours, and it is very easy to delay the fighter. Do your scientific research departments have detailed plans to study our own solid-fuel propellants and solid-rocket engines? Li Mo's understanding of military technology in the past few days is not small, and from Abic's words, he found a problem that has been ignored for a long time.

Single-stage liquid-engined missiles, if it is the first to go to war, it doesn't matter if the preparation time is longer, but what if the war counterattack is carried out? It takes several hours to prepare, and with modern means of obtaining information, it is very likely that the missile will be destroyed on the launch frame before it is launched.

"Boss, you're right, the benefits of solid propellants for military use are more obvious than liquids, and liquid engines in countries around the world are basically used in rockets and aerospace vehicles. However, the technical requirements of solid boosters are high, and we may not be able to get results in the short term. I've heard that North Korea has technology in this area, and the Iranians themselves have acquired technology from North Korea and have been studying it for many years. Abic said with some embarrassment that he did not know much about missile technology, and let him serve as the deputy general manager in charge of the scientific research department because he was an old man in the organization.

Li Mo frowned slightly when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "There is no need to think about it on the Iranian side, the price they paid this time is also big enough, we can't be too greedy." The North Korean side can consider it, but you also need to set up relevant personnel to conduct research, and I will find a way to get some information for you. ”

Several people knew that Li Mo's so-called getting some information had sent the intelligence department and the Meteor Commando team out. Whether it's stealing or robbing, as long as you get the technology, it's really not okay to kidnap two experts. This kind of thing, Li Mo has not done it once or twice.

"If it's really difficult, I can allow you to study the two Sabre missiles that are the only remaining missiles in the world. Because it's a solid rocket engine, maybe you can get some useful technology on the Sabre. Although Li Mo has confidence in the scientific research department and the Meteor Commando, this kind of thing is not only confident, at least let the scientific research department master more technology. Research and imitation of the Meteor 3 missile is not the goal, but the research and development of its own missile family is the fundamental goal, from small anti-tank missiles to large intercontinental missiles and launch vehicles, it is fundamental to need its own technology.

"Really? Boss, you have to talk! Abic was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly said. He knew very well how much the boss attached great importance to and cared for the two 'Sabre' missiles equipped with nuclear warheads in the Strategic Missile Battalion, and he and some researchers had not proposed to take apart the 'Sabre' for study, but Li Mo denied it, and even scolded everyone, and since then, no one dared to mention this idea.

This time, the boss actually offered to take apart the 'Sabre' for study, which made Abic very happy, and he felt that with the landmark 'Sabre' in the medium-range ballistic missile, it was undoubtedly the strongest and most representative guinea pig for the researchers of the Missile Research Center.

"When I speak doesn't count!" Li Mo glared at Abic and said angrily. Although he was in pain when he said that, in order to master more and more critical missile technology as soon as possible, he could only endure the distress and treat the 'Sabre' as a guinea pig.

Abic smiled, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "Boss, I remember that the 'Sabre' was purchased from Ukraine, and the Ukrainian Southern Machine Factory must have the technology in this area, do you think you can let the intelligence department try it?" It is better to be able to buy the complete technology. ”

Li Mo's heart moved, this idea is not bad. As one of the world's largest strategic missile factories, the missile technology of the Southern Machine Plant is second to none in the entire world. Although in the past two years, the Southern Machine Plant has ceased to produce strategic missiles, but has turned to rockets and various spacecraft, but missiles and rockets are almost universal, and the technical differences between the two are not very large, and the Southern Machine Factory must have inherited the missile technology of the former Soviet Union. With the strength of the organization behind Nazirov, it may be possible to really get the 'Sabre', a missile technology that once put great pressure on NATO.
