Chapter 140: Sharp Teeth
"Comrade Lavochkin, call the 16th Special Design Bureau and ask Comrade Taubina to come here, and now, ask him to bring the design drawings and sample guns of the МП-6 gun, and say that it is my order. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
It seems that he wants to open up to the designer of this "elm brain melon", "If you still stay in the idea of feeding ammunition from the magazine, you can't replace it with a bullet chain or a cartridge belt to feed me?!" ”
Lin Jun's idea is reasonable, the bullet chain or cartridge belt supply is the correct direction of development for the supply of ammunition for aircraft guns, and the current ammunition supply system of the МП-6 actually includes nine magazines with 9 shells each, which is equivalent to increasing the probability of failure by nine times.
"Yes, Comrade Andrei, I'll call him right away."
Lin Jun now has this right, he can intervene in the development of all new weapons, and it is only natural for him to order a designer to come to see him.
Lavochkin went to call, and Goodkov on the side continued to introduce the two: "In addition to the conventional fire system, the Lag 3 also has its own secret weapon, which can shoot down any large bomber with just one hit. ”
After listening to Goodkov's introduction, Andlupuv was obviously a little surprised, you must know that it is not easy to shoot down a large bomber, if it is a 7.62mm machine gun, even hundreds of rounds cannot be hit, even the aircraft gun has to hit more than 5 rounds to destroy it, "What weapon has such great power?" ”
"Comrade Deputy Commander, this is a top-secret anti-aircraft rocket, which we named the PC-82 air-to-air rocket, and the Lag-3 can carry four under the wings. This weapon has a caliber of 82 mm, a firing range of 1,300 meters, a completely stable straight-line flight distance of more than 400 meters, a basically stable straight-line flight distance of about 600 meters, and the explosive power is equivalent to a 76-mm artillery shell, and four rockets can be fired separately or in a salvo, with a range of more than 1,300 meters, and it can also attack the ground. ”
The Soviet Union was in a leading position in the world in the research of rockets, and other Western countries did not have similar weapons, and even many countries did not even have the idea of rocket weapons, so it is no wonder that Andlupf felt strange.
"If you surprise an enemy bomber formation in a salvo of fighter formations in battle, it must be a spectacular scene." Lin Jun's tone was calm and steady, he was too familiar with this weapon, but he couldn't say it explicitly.
"Has the new weapon passed the state test?" Lin Jun asked, he had just taken over his current job, and he hadn't had time to understand many things.
"At the end of last year, it passed the Ordnance Bureau and the national experiment, and the two will perform a ground attack show after the meeting."
"Then let the armorer bring them over, I'd like to see them now."
While he was talking, Lavochkin returned: "Comrade Andrei, Comrade Taubina will arrive in the afternoon. ”
Lin Jun signaled that this was good, "I have a more serious question, how about the suitability of fighters equipped with liquid-cooled engines in winter?"
"Comrade Andrey, this requires a special heating device, and the supporting plant will produce special heating vehicles for the front-line troops. Liquid-cooled engines have their drawbacks in this regard, but we don't have a suitable air-cooled engine yet, and the power of the original model can't meet the demand. ”
Compared with air-cooled engines, fighters equipped with liquid-cooled aviation have less aerodynamic resistance, which is good for increasing the speed of the aircraft, but it is more dependent on the climate, once the winter temperature is below minus 20 degrees, it will become relatively difficult to start it, even if it is equipped with heated vehicles, it is difficult to ensure the attendance of the troops, and there are many areas and times on the land of the Soviet Union where the winter temperature is below minus 30 degrees.
"This problem will not be solved until Shvetsov designs a more powerful air-cooled engine." Lin Jun thought.
Arkaki Dmitrievich Shvetsov, one of the famous Soviet aircraft engine designers, the I-15 and I-16 equipped with the M-25A air-cooled engine is the product of the design team led by him, and the engine he later designed will be the power source of the Lag 5 and Lag 7.
"We have used the Lager-3 to fight against the original I-15 and 16, and they have surpassed the original model in all performance, and the maximum level flight speed is fully loaded with ammunition at an altitude of 3,500 meters, but it reaches 605 kilometers per hour without rockets, which is our first fighter with a speed of more than 600 kilometers, and it should be the first fighter in the world to reach this speed."
"The five-point firepower equipment not only effectively uses the space in the nose and maintains the density of firepower, but also frees up the wing space on both sides to increase the fuel load, which is a good design." Lin Jun pointed to the muzzle of the propeller center shaft and said: The two large-caliber machine guns of the Lag 3 are located above the engine, and the barrel of the engine-type cannon runs through the central shaft of the engine.
At this time, a man in a flight suit walked over and saluted several people.
"This is our chief test pilot, Comrade Chikalov, who tested our lag-1 and lag-3."
"Hello, Comrade Chikalov. We've all heard of you, our hero test pilot. ”
Lin Jun returned the salute and shook hands with the test pilot in his thirties.
"Two chiefs, it's up to me to introduce you to the manipulation characteristics of Lag 3."
Half an hour later, Lin Jun and Andlupf had a preliminary understanding of some basic information about the Lag-3, and at this time, the PC-82 air-to-air rocket was also loaded on a small cart and transported over.
It turned out that Lin Jun and Andlupuf had plans to fly into the air, but now the target of the inspection has become Lag 3, which is still in the experimental stage, and the original plan has to be cancelled.
"Lavochkin, when I come back in three months, you will have to fly the plane, and then you will have to give me a plane that can be finalized."
"Definitely, Comrade Andrey."
The test pilot, Chikalov, was a veteran test pilot of Soviet fighter planes, and after the rockets were loaded into the plane, he flew the plane into the air, and showed a demonstration of maneuverability and ground attack, especially the rocket attack, which impressed Andlupov: soon the Soviets would have weapons capable of destroying ground targets from a distance.
Lin Jun visited the fuselage processing workshop again, where many workers were lesbians who were painting the wings.
"We paint the fuselage and then polish it to meet the requirements for an aerodynamic finish. This glulam is not a whole plank, but a staggered arrangement of birch wood, and then pressed layer by layer, and each layer is covered with hemp fiber to enhance toughness (the real process of Soviet-made aviation glulaminate). Lavocchin made an introduction.
、、、、、、
In the afternoon, Taubina rushed from Tula to Plant 301.
"Comrade Taugbina, I ask you to immediately replace the existing design with a chain or cartridge belt to feed ammunition, abandon the current magazine, and have more than 120 rounds of ammunition within the weight of the Lag-3, and ensure that it can be installed on the existing Lag-3 without major changes in the design and manufacturing process of the fighter. I know that the biggest source of failure of the current П-6 aircraft gun comes from the ammunition supply system, and it may work well with a different way of thinking, and you have to make bold improvements. Six months, I'll give you six months, during which time you can use all the forces in the design bureau, but if you can't build a qualified 23-mm gun by then, you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs yourself. Got it?! ”
It takes pressure to have motivation, half a year is enough to design a new model of aerial gun, Lin Jun has given this unlucky aircraft artillery designer enough time, if there is still no successful design, it can only mean that Taubina's talent has reached its limit and is outdated, and it is time to make way for newcomers.
Lin Jun's words made the designer's face serious and nervous, and he knew that the "Butcher II" in front of him was talking and counting, "Yes, Comrade Andrei." This was his only option, and Taubina knew that Comrade Andrei had given him a chance and ample time, otherwise he could have been thrown into prison now.
When leaving Factory 301 before dark, Lin Jun said to Andlupf: "I'm going to the equipment department, will you go back to the academy first?" ”
"What's the matter?"
"I have a couple of new ideas to go to the office and think about them."
"Then I'll go with you, and every time you have a new idea, you can always come up with something new."
"Huh. What do you think of that kind of air-to-air rocket? ”
"Good guy, you can definitely solve a Tebo 3 with one shot, and if it is used to destroy ground targets, even heavy tanks will be destroyed."
"I was thinking that if we could design the wings of this rocket to be folded, and then make a honeycomb-like launch canister, the amount of ammunition carried would be greatly increased. And what effect would it be to put a larger caliber rocket on a car for ground attack, you say? Lin Jun said with a smile.
"I said a few years ago that you were a violent maniac, and today I reaffirm my opinion, haha! Hail, I guess hail is the right way to describe it. ”
"Actually, these two ideas are just a stretch, and the third idea is tempting." Lin Jun whetted his brother's appetite.
"Speak quickly!"
"Our existing front-line infantry units have insufficient anti-tank firepower, and anti-tank guns are inconvenient to carry, so they can generally only equip battalion-level troops, and anti-tank guns have limited armor-piercing capabilities, and it is impossible to deal with future new tanks. Our solid rocket motor technology is close to maturity, and if we can design a single anti-tank weapon that uses instantaneous gunpowder launch and rocket engine as flight power, I estimate that the weight will not exceed 10 kilograms, and the effective range of the anti-tank should be able to reach more than 100 meters. What do you think of this idea? ”
"Not very good, but I am sure of two things: the commander of the infantry unit will propose to award you another Order of the Red Banner, but the commander and fighters of the tank unit may find a way to kill you!" Andrupf glared at Lin Jun again with the eyes of a monster.
