Chapter 1335: Guardian of the Empire
In Western literature and film, there are always all kinds of people who sell themselves to the devil. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 There is a great temptation for info to make people so happy.
Zhou Qingfeng only gave a strengthening drug that could improve his energy and physical strength, which immediately made Professor Johnson, who can be called highly respected, bow down, because the effect of this drug is too attractive.
Professor Johnson was very excited to administer the injections, and then rested for a few hours in the regimental commander's office to observe the aftermath.
I don't know if it's the psychological effect or the drug really has a miraculous effect, the professor who took a nap felt that his body was glowing with incredible vitality, and then he happily took Zhou Qingfeng's appointment to choose his subordinates.
Professor Johnson was originally brought by Zhou Qingfeng from Florida, and he was very familiar with the personnel relations of the 'Kennedy' space center. When he walked out of the Capitol in Havana, he was already seven or eight points sure about what was going to be done.
The first thing to do is to recruit a group of people, mainly students, friends, and colleagues of Professor Johnson. The initial size of the Rocket Army will not be very large, and there will be about a dozen backbone personnel. Then these ten or so backbones will pull the middle level of seventy or eighty people, and the middle level will select the bottom level of five or six hundred people.
OK, a team on paper is complete.
"Familiarizing ourselves with this 'Dongfeng-3' missile is only the first step, and the next thing we need to do is improve it. Fortunately, this is an early first-generation ballistic missile, and the technical difficulty is not too complicated. Professor Johnson convened a meeting of his own elite members in the barracks near the Capitol.
When the professor took out the strengthening medicine given by Zhou Qingfeng and showed it in person to show its use, the backbone he recruited suddenly burst out with a strong enthusiasm for work-they only need to do their best work to obtain the world's most amazing drug, what could be better than this?
One of the professor's students, who couldn't wait to get to work, took the initiative to ask: "The design of this missile is simple, what aspects do we want to improve?" ”
The design of the DF-3 was finalized in the 60s of the last century, and its technical level was still very simple. At that time, the technical ability of the rabbit was really not very good, which led to a lot of shortcomings of this missile.
"We need to improve the circular error accuracy of this missile by an order of magnitude." "That's what we're going to do first. ”
If a missile is not accurate, no matter how powerful it is, it will be useless. In those years, the 'Dongfeng-5' was test-launched, and it deviated by hundreds of thousands of kilometers several times. The jokes are big!
However, the accuracy of the 'Dongfeng-3' is very poor, and the circular error accuracy is more than 1,300 meters. That is to say, draw a circle with a radius of more than one kilometer at the predetermined landing point, and the warhead has half the probability of falling within this circle.
The DF-3 could have been equipped with a megaton hydrogen bomb, but the error was too large to bear. But what Zhou Qingfeng got in his hands was a version that could only carry two tons of ordinary high-explosive warheads - spending 500 million soft girl coins just to throw two tons of explosives thousands of kilometers away?
And the error of this throw is more than a kilometer?
Neuropathy is capable of such a loss-making business!
I might as well fly an F-35 to drop a bomb.
The DF-3 uses an inertial gyro-integrator for guidance, and Professor Johnson scoffs at it. Zhou Qingfeng got a lot of good things when he searched Florida, and the professor decided to get on the 'three-axis liquid float inertial gyroscope plus laser guidance plus high-performance space computer'.
The probability of circular error can be immediately reduced to about 100 meters, and this power is much greater.
"It's not difficult to change the guidance head and control system." The colleagues who were recruited were also eager. Several people observed that the professor in his seventies had a rosy and shiny face, much smoother wrinkles on his skin, and a fading of age spots, which was a clear sign of a significant improvement in his health.
"Improving accuracy is the first step, and the second step is to replace conventional warheads with nuclear ones." Professor Johnson's second step of improvement silenced the backbone who gathered around him.
It is impossible for 500 million to drop only one ordinary explosive, and no matter how powerful a two-ton warhead is, it is only two tons. It's not the same with a nuclear warhead.
The DF-3 was originally capable of carrying three sub-warheads. Zhou Qingfeng can't get nuclear warheads in the real world, but he has many nuclear warheads that he can use in the chaotic wasteland -- the US B61 nuclear warheads, each weighing only three or four hundred kilograms, with an adjustable yield, and a maximum of more than 100,000 tons of T*N*T.
But the wasteland was created by nuclear bombs, and to be honest, no one likes nuclear weapons these days. But if the boss of his own family wants to use a nuclear warhead, no one can stop it.
"I think that if I change the nuclear warhead, one 100,000-ton warhead in one missile is enough. The weight savings can be used to increase fuel and range. One of the professor's students advised, "After all, our nuclear warheads are more scarce and more precious than such missiles." ”
That's right. There is still room for missiles, and nuclear warheads are really one less than one. Professor Johnson didn't want to see nuclear bombs flying all over the place, so he nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's get a single warhead." The excess load can be used to increase the firing range. ”
After saying this, the professor and the others silently made a calculation in their hearts. Soon everyone can estimate the effect of the extended range - up to 4,000 kilometers, covering most of the continental United States except Alaska, and even part of Canada.
The effect of this deterrence is just right!
Originally, it could only scare the Enclave, but now even the Brotherhood of Steel has to be careful.
Professor Johnson gathered the elite of the original American aerospace industry, and most of them participated in the development and launch of American rockets and missiles. After they crudely planned the improvement plan for the 'Dongfeng-3', they all felt amazed in their hearts.
In a world where no one else has ballistic missiles or nuclear bombs, what a terrible thing is that suddenly appears with a guy who can wield a nuclear stick?
"How long will it take to complete the entire improvement plan?" The professor asked a colleague who is skilled in project management.
"It will take about a month and a half to two months. We have to train all the people involved in the project in advance, for example, the fuel used for this missile is 'dimethylhydrazine', which is highly toxic, and we have long since stopped using it. If you don't train, it's easy to go wrong. A missile expert said.
Liquid-fueled missiles are such a hassle that they need to be refueled before launch. And you have to be very careful.
The process of refueling liquid fuel is extremely dangerous, and a large number of people are poisoned if something happens without a big explosion -- the Soviet Union once killed the commander of its Strategic Rocket Forces and 160 rocket experts in one fell swoop in the 60s of the last century because of a large explosion when refueling an intercontinental missile.
The Aurora Legion could not afford such losses.
"Alright, let's get moving." Professor Johnson said with emotion: "A new empire will be worried under our protection. ”
Looking at the various materials of 'Dongfeng-3' on the desktop, everyone's hearts were excited and heavy. But before they could release any emotion, a bleak air defense siren suddenly sounded.
