Before the second exercise, the person in charge of the rocket artillery did not pay attention to the combat part, in the earliest rockets, the use of ordinary explosives, did not introduce the concept of high-explosives, and later got the assistant to make the performance of the rocket more impressive, and then the use of high-explosive shells, but now, a clear problem has been raised, and if the problem of the combat part is not solved, this weapon will not be able to enter active service and cannot be sold on a large scale. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Raising the combat part to this level is also rarely encountered in weapons, and those who make guns and artillery only consider their own performance, and the same is true for rocket artillery, although most of the power of rocket artillery is on rockets, and the technical indicators of rockets are also the highest, but they only use rocket artillery as a carrier to transport combat parts to dozens of kilometers away.

They only consider the smoothness and accuracy of the rocket, as for the power, it depends on the power of the current gunpowder, in their opinion, under the current premise, the maximum is enough, there is no need to think so much.

Now, when the combat parts are strong enough, there will be geometric changes, he can't help but pay attention to it, although after adjustment, the power of 207 has increased a lot compared to the first exercise, but where are the advantages and disadvantages, not like 107, because of the flexible use of cover-up, but some prominent, if you want to sell 207, you must solve this problem, 207 can not take the path of 107, you must increase the power, at least as the officer said, Raising to about twice the base temperature is a base point.

The rocket research institute has accumulated more aerodynamic shapes, rocket engines, and even some materials, but in the combat parts, there is really none, and it was with the help of artillery shell laboratories before, where to get the best explosives directly, and even some detonation methods are somewhat similar to some artillery shells, but now, high explosives cannot be powerful, unless China's explosives can make great progress by leaps and bounds.

Fortunately, Yang Yuanzhao had already pointed him in the direction, and on the premise that high-explosive bombs could not play a role, napalm could be chosen, and he first went to the napalm research institute.

China's military industrial system, the practicability is quite obvious, some powerful, widely used systems, not only the research is relatively in-depth, the system is also very huge, napalm is like this, has developed from the beginning of two or three groups of people, to the present, the country's 27 laboratories, divided into categories, and from eight or nine directions of research of huge laboratories, this is even larger than the rocket laboratory has not been split into missiles and rocket artillery.

He sent people here before, mainly to discuss the issue of the miniaturization of napalm, but the news he got was not optimistic, and the research institute is also working on miniaturization, and the lightest is currently 370 kilograms, which has been reduced a lot compared to 550 kilograms, but compared with the 55 kilograms of combat parts, the difference is huge.

Although it is said that rocket artillery cannot be small, and then increase the caliber, 307, 407, or even 607, restricting the caliber of rocket artillery, it is never a matter of the material of the cannon steel, but the problem of aerodynamic shape and rocket engine, as long as these two problems are successfully solved, 1000 mm caliber rocket artillery, that is, one meter can be made.

It's just that they are no longer responsible, the caliber of rocket artillery has been determined to 107 and 207 is not for nothing, no matter how big, the cost will progress rapidly, after all, the caliber is expanded by 100 mm, the weight will be nearly doubled, and the performance of the rocket engine will also be improved, to a certain extent, the rocket artillery is no longer a cheap weapon, but has become a high price, it is impossible to use a covered attack method, but a precise design, which is the research content of another research group, They can't interfere.

Touched a nail in the napalm, the person in charge was a little emotional, and was about to leave, when he unexpectedly heard another topic, thermobaric bomb, which is an advanced study of air bomb, compared to napalm, his energy is higher, but the weight requirements are not so great, at least the critical point is not so high.

The research on thermobaric bombs began as early as when napalm was popular, and it was not simply aimed at rocket artillery, but the second or even the third generation of air bombs. China's gunpowder is advancing gradually, but the amplitude of the advance is not too large, and adding as much material as possible to the gunpowder can only make the power of the gunpowder increase slightly on the original basis, and it does not reach the order of magnitude of napalm at all, after all, the order of magnitude of gunpowder is not as high as the energy of oil and other incendiary materials.

But in another way, many metals have super oxidation, once ignited, the energy released by intense combustion is far higher than the energy level of ordinary gunpowder and even oil, and the number of metals that can be oxidized is quite a lot, but this metal is difficult to appear in nature, under the conditions of room temperature and pressure, it exists in the form of a single substance, or can only exist for a short time, once it is exposed to oxygen for too long, it will be oxidized.

However, such an oxidation process is not manifested by an explosive method, just like iron rusting, it is also an oxidation process, and iron is burned at a limit temperature, which is completely different, the former is a violent oxidation process, the latter is a slow oxidation process, different processes, the manifestation form is completely different.

It seems that it should not be used, but the short time is an opportunity, no matter how short, it is longer than the explosion of explosives, especially some complex chemical reactions, if you figure this out, with the help of chemical reactions, get some strong oxidizing metals and metal alloys, and finally with the help of various oxidants, burst and burn, releasing huge energy, which is the main direction of thermobaric bombs.

In fact, the general explosives, his energy grade, is not as good as oil, or even high coal, but coal and oil, it is impossible to radiate most of the energy in an instant, so they can only be used as fuel, napalm is a method of adding other additives to make oil explode in a unique state, but it has certain limitations, for example, when there is no aerosol cloudThe napalm will not explode and burn quickly, at most it will ignite the oil and attach it to various metals to burn, and it will not play the terrible attack effect of the napalm.

If you follow this concept, use the construction of various compounds into a stable state, still detonated, in a unique temperature and pressure environment, various compounds will react violently, forming some metals or metal combustibles, in a short period of time, exploding a huge amount of energy, producing a series of oxidation reactions, releasing energy, and greatly consuming oxygen, forming a local vacuum, which is the main manifestation of thermobaric bombs.

Yang Yuanzhao after figuring out some of the basic concepts of thermobaric bombs, especially with some experts in chemical and materials, step by step discussion, the general area to determine, in the information of later generations, mentioned thermite, he also took this as the direction of research, on the one hand, aluminum industry, China has studied to a considerable extent, under the premise of a large guarantee of electricity, the cost of aluminum manufacturing is getting lower and lower, compared with other potassium and sodium lithium, I don't know how many times lower.

Aluminum burns, the energy released, is higher than oil, but it is not easy to achieve the combustion conditions, Yang Yuanzhao is also a science and engineering student, in an experiment in chemistry has tested thermite, after careful recollection, it seems to be a compound of aluminum powder and iron mixed together, with an ignition agent to ignite.

Sometimes, a little mention can promote the rapid development of the whole project, China's research in materials science, the materials laboratory has everything, and soon found all the iron oxides, and then mixed them according to a certain ratio, when the ferric oxide is found, under a certain temperature, the thermite and ferric oxide react violently, emitting a dazzling light, and even the iron cans loaded with them are completely melted.

Such a violent reaction made everyone moved, if the explosives want to achieve a huge impact, it is not difficult, it is enough to increase the amount of explosives, but no matter how the amount of explosives increases, the increase is only the power itself, and it is difficult to improve the temperature and other indicators.

Everyone knows that the explosion itself is an oxidation effect, at room temperature and pressure, the oxidation reaction is slow, only a small part of the strong oxidant will be violent, which is also the fundamental reason why explosives are difficult to find, but if the temperature rises significantly, to 1500 degrees, or even more than 2000 degrees, as an environment, the materials that can be added will increase, and the power will be significantly improved.

When ferric oxide is mixed with aluminum powder, after becoming thermite, it is necessary to find out the qualified proportioning method, and accurately ignite the temperature, these two powders, of course, can not be mixed together to deflagrate, otherwise, it is impossible to exist in nature, find out a specific range, on the weapon, create the opportunity of this range, and then use enough two materials as raw materials to make a huge bomb, This is the further incendiary bomb, which requires countless dangerous experiments, but after taking this step, the obstacles in front of them are basically gone, and as long as the research continues, the results will inevitably be seen.
