Chapter 886: Solid Fuel

Later, it became known from the information that came that the German army conducted a strict examination of the "missile" unit in response to the incident in which the "missile" blew up the warehouse......

However, of course, there is no reason for this, there is no positioning and tracking system at all in this era, especially the uncontrollable missiles of the German army, and no one knows whether the "missile" that "mistakenly fired" the warehouse will be launched by itself, and even they are not sure when it was launched.

This incident did not have much impact on the Allies, because on the one hand, the Allies were more concerned with the line of defense in front of them than with an "accident" in Rome, and on the other hand, Germany did not take such scandals as news, so almost no one in the Allies knew about it.

If anyone knows, it is that when the "missile" passed over the defense line shortly after it was launched, several US soldiers noticed this high-speed flying "missile," but they just thought it was an airplane...... the "missile" was a little smaller as an airplane, but because of its low altitude, it actually looked not small, so it was really difficult to judge whether it was an airplane or a missile.

So no one took it seriously.

That's what Zhang Chi wants...... At least for the time being, Zhang Chi believes that the expeditionary force should keep a low profile, knowing that Britain, the United States and even France are typical industrial powers, and their industrial strength is that after years of accumulation, there are a large number of talent reserves, which is not comparable to the emerging expeditionary force.

What Zhang Chi could do was to use his knowledge as much as possible to make the expeditionary force go faster and gain an advantage in some aspects as much as possible.

Of course, weapons and equipment are ultimately to play a role on the battlefield and be placed in front of the world, and they cannot reflect their value even if they are always hidden, and even in order to know what their shortcomings are, some countries still sell the equipment they have just researched to other countries...... For example, Stinger missiles and the like, so that others can be used as guinea pigs to constantly improve this equipment, and then equip their own troops.

However, even if you want to put it in front of the world, you must wait until you advance the equipment to the next generation, so that you can always maintain the leading edge in technology.

"So, what we have to do is to let 'Caesar' combine the advantages of the two missiles!" "This can greatly reduce the amount of work we need to launch and track missiles," Basil said at the conclusion of the meeting. ”

"It's not too difficult!" Liu Zhenguo said: "In fact, we just need to keep the flight of 'Caesar' stable!" ”

"But how do we know if it's off course?"

"In fact, even if we operate it manually, it is difficult to ensure that it does not deviate from the direction, because most of what we see on the display is terrain that cannot be identified and recognized!"

"But it at least reduces a lot of the risk of going off course!"

……

As with all academic discussions, the scientists in the room quickly ensued for a heated discussion.

Zhang Chi quietly looked at the group of experts who were fighting with each other without saying a word, and he was very pleased to see that several Chinese intellectuals such as Liu Zhenguo were also involved, which at least proved that they had become part of the team and integrated into it.

"General!" Seeing that the dispute was inexorable, Basil asked Zhang Chi: "What do you think?" What do you think 'Caesar' needs to be improved? ”

"What needs to be improved?" Zhang Chi replied: "I'm worried that I won't be able to finish talking all day!" ”

A group of scientists couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, because as they said before, they were very satisfied with this "missile", and its guidance method can be said to be the first in this era, and the actual combat test was also very successful, but in Zhang Chi's eyes, it seems to be not worth mentioning at all.

Basile was not surprised by this, because he was used to the "surprise" that this Chinese general gave him.

Sometimes Basille also finds it strange that although Zhang Chi does not know the relevant professional knowledge, he seems to know everything...... More importantly, Zhang Chi's comments are very creative and practical.

According to Basiler, this is the most important thing, because a good scientist is not about having expertise, but about whether he can come up with something that others do not think of or cannot imagine, and this is what is an invention.

"First of all, control!" Zhang Chi said: "You must know that we want this thing to be used for combat, and we can't use two pilots to control this thing even if it is one pilot, because the battlefield is in urgent need of pilots...... If one day I want to launch a hundred of these missiles, do I need a hundred pilots? ”

Basil couldn't help but nodded, this is the rule of the battlefield, and the control of any weapon and equipment should be as simple as possible, which has a lot to do with whether it can play its intended role on the battlefield.

"It's not hard to solve!" "We can train a group of operators in a targeted manner!" says Basille! ”

"The second is the engine ......"

"Engine?" "General, I don't think there's anything wrong with the engine, although it's rough, but the 'missile' is a disposable weapon, and we just need it to have no problems during the dozens of minutes of flight!" ”

Of course, there is some truth in what Basil said, because then it will blow to pieces along with the missile.

"But it takes almost an hour to refuel before launch!" Zhang Chi said: "And the fuel is still very unstable, and the 'missile' will explode at any time due to an accident when it flies to the target!" You know, we're going to put it on the battlefield, it's a rapidly changing battlefield, and in some cases we do have a lot of time to prepare, so there's nothing wrong with this 'missile', but sometimes we need to use it right away, and we don't have an hour to refuel! ”

"But...... How do we do that? Someone asked, "Do you use other fuels?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied: "You can even consider other forms of fuel, such as solid fuel!" ”

"Solid fuel?" Hearing this, Basil couldn't help but be stunned, this was simply a fantasy for them.

"Why not?" Zhang Chi replied: "Chinese invented the rocket more than a thousand years ago by using burning gunpowder to make it fly, the same reason...... All you have to do is find a solid powder to burn in the combustion chamber and propel the missile into flight! ”

Basil couldn't help but keep his mouth open for a long time, and although it sounds "strange", it seems to be doable.
