In the midst of a cacophony of voices, Commander Song, who had walked around 59-p, couldn't wait to say:

"What are you doing? Come on! Let's start testing? ”

"Do you need to do anything to prepare?"

Hearing Commander Song say this, Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and smiled:

"Test today? I thought I'd have to wait until tomorrow morning to start testing! ”

"We have nothing to prepare on our side, this is only the first prototype test of rocket artillery, we only need to roughly observe the landing point and dispersion, as well as the working state of the rocket engine, there is no too professional test."

"But are we ready here? We need to salvage the wreckage. ”

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Commander Song nodded and said affirmatively:

"It's been prepared for a long time, the boat has been dispatched, and the nearby waters have been determined, and there are no fishermen from us."

"Then let's just get started, shall we?"

Wang Ye nodded, and then the staff who came with him at the scene got busy again, first driving the transport truck to the beach, and then 59-p got off the truck and stopped in a wasteland.

"Buzz!"

With the sound of the hydraulic system working, the four sets of stationing hoe systems around the tank were gradually lowered, and finally the tank was firmly supported in place, and at the same time, the bomb nest also moved slowly under the action of the hydraulic system, and the inclination angle rose slightly, aiming at the direction of the sea.

"Check the vehicle!"

"Check the ammo!"

"Ready to install the ignition system."

Hearing Wang Ye's order, the staff began to inspect the entire launch vehicle system in accordance with the established workflow and grouping, and determined that there were no other problems, and at the same time began to check the ammunition inside the cartridge, and even through manual cooperation, a total of six rounds of ammunition in the bomb nest were spot-checked, and two rounds were directly drawn, and after confirming that there was no problem, the ammunition was stuffed in again.

The last step is to install the excitation fuse on the tail of the ammunition, so that the entire rocket launcher system has entered a state of combat readiness and can be activated at any time.

In fact, the whole transportation process is also a testing process.

For a rocket launch system like 59-9, it is unreasonable to drive from the station to the edge of the theater of operations by itself, and the best situation is to transport it to the edge of the theater by truck or train, and then enter the theater of operations by itself, after all, the movement ability of the tank chassis is not strong enough, and the process of transporting ammunition is also a key point that needs to be paid attention to, such as the bump of the vehicle, whether it will lead to the deformation of ammunition and so on.

Of course, this is for a large country like China, and if it is a small and medium-sized country, there is no such problem.

"Checked!"

"Checked!"

"The ignition system is installed!"

With the continuous coming of passwords, Wang Ye smiled and said to Director Liang and the others who were Commander Song present:

"Shall we go, then? Duck away a bit, it's the first test, after all. ”

"Although there is only a homogeneous simulated warhead, if there is any problem with the rocket engine, it will also explode, which is very dangerous!"

At this moment, one hundred meters away and three hundred meters away from the 59-p rocket launcher system, two simple fortifications had been built with sandbags, and everyone heard Wang Ye say this, and they all walked to the fortification three hundred meters away.

As for the fortifications a hundred meters away, it was for the excitation personnel, in order to further ensure safety, of course, the first test could not be excited from the inside of the car, after all, if there was a real accident, the car was not safe, and the propellant yield was very terrifying.

"Get in place! Place! Place! ”

With the sound of being in place, there was no one around the entire 59-p rocket launcher system, and the nearest person was hiding behind the fortifications a hundred meters away, and he would control the launch of the rocket launcher through a long wire.

"Commander Song, today is your home field, and we are guests."

"Then the order to launch is up to you, right?"

Standing behind the fortifications, Wang Ye handed a pistol with empty cartridges to Commander Song, and Commander Song was not polite, took the pistol and said with a smile:

"Then this glory, you're welcome!"

Under the gaze of everyone, I saw Commander Song pick up the pistol and raise it above his head, and at the same time, someone had already begun to cover his ears.

"Ready!"

Accompanied by Commander Song's voice, he pulled the trigger in the next second!

"Bang!"

The moment the trigger was pulled, everyone's eyes were locked on the 59-p rocket launcher system three hundred meters away, and at the same time, the fighter behind the bunker a hundred meters away pressed the ignition button!

That moment.

"Boom!"

With the trembling of the ground and the deafening roar, at that moment a dazzling fire rushed out from behind the launch vehicle, almost suppressing the sun in the sky, and with the rolling up smoke and gravel, the first rocket flew out!

"Boom!"

After the first rocket leaves the nest, the second ignites!

For the multiple rocket launch system, the normal launch is one after another, almost no two or more at the same time, if there is that the interval is too short, caused by the visual error, in addition, the order of rocket launch, will not be carried out in accordance with the order of arrangement, the main reason is to eliminate the interference of the wake of the adjacent rocket to the next rocket, to prevent the reduction of shooting accuracy.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the next breath, the remaining four rockets ignited and were fired!

The whole launch process is actually very short, that is, two or three seconds, at this moment, looking up, I can still see a clear fire and projectile in the sky, and gradually disappear until I can no longer see it, leaving only clear tail smoke.

Seeing the rockets in the distance, Commander Song was quite happy, and the smile on his face was not concealed at all, and he even said with a smile:

"Not bad! It worked! All of them were launched! ”

"Come, come, come! The big guys applaud, applaud Comrade Wang Ye and the scientific research team! ”

Accompanied by Commander Song's voice, I saw that Commander Song began to applaud by himself, and the officers and soldiers of the other onlookers at the base also began to applaud one after another, and the scene resounded with warm applause for a while.

For Commander Song, if it can be launched normally without any accidents, that is, the test is successful.

Not so for Wang Ye and others!

Of course, a normal launch is indeed the first step to success, but there is more important next, that is, the dispersion of flight paths and landing points, but it will take some time to determine.

Meanwhile.

Wang Ye, who looked up at the sky, couldn't help frowning, because he had already discovered the first problem and said to the staff next to him:

"Take a photo and record, the residual smoke is too big to be conducive to covert launches."

"It's something that needs to be improved and improved in the future."

Hearing Wang Ye's statement, Commander Song and Director Liang who were present, as well as the officers of the other bases, all showed stunned expressions on their faces, although there were indeed six obvious smoke in the air, but whose rocket launch did not have any smoke left?

And even if there is none, it is because the caliber of the rocket is too small, and the rockets with a diameter of 300 mm are all on top of the small missiles, so there will definitely be smoke left?

At the same time, the staff member next to him snorted his mouth, trying to explain something, but he didn't open his mouth.

In fact, he wanted to say that the current propellant formula is like this, if the composition of reducing the occurrence of smoke is increased, then it will inevitably lead to a decrease in thrust, and the original range of 80 kilometers is already a rather terrifying and almost difficult target for a projectile with a caliber of 300 millimeters and a length of 6.5 meters, and it is necessary to reduce the smoke? Isn't that a man's life!

In the end, he didn't say anything, just nodded, and then silently took pictures to record the memo.

On the contrary, it was Commander Song, who was the narrator, who looked very excited, and said with a smile:

"Wang Ye, your requirements are too strict!"

"I think it's normal to have a little tail smoke left, anyway, this thing can run, run after the fight, what else do you need to think about?"

"Besides, for the vast majority of the world's armies, the range of this thing is completely beyond the range of attack, except for them to catch up, otherwise it is not so important whether it is hidden or not."

"Unless they use planes, they use missiles."

Hearing Commander Song's words, many officers present nodded their heads, and it was obvious that for them, the range and power of rocket artillery were enough for them to ignore the problem that smoke might expose the firing position.

In this regard, Wang Ye has nothing to say, after all, this is barely the world's first long-range fire, and naturally other problems can be ignored, but when there are more similar weapons, everyone's pursuit will gradually become higher.

For themselves, it is necessary to improve the performance and all aspects of the product step by step.

Meanwhile.

Osan Air Base, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.

In the radar duty room, I saw an American GI eating potato chips and drinking Coke, leaning back in a chair and reading the "Playboy" magazine, with a sexy and hot blonde on the cover.

"Majafark! Look! Look! ”

"It's really blood-boiling!"

At this moment, the American soldier seemed to see some exciting picture, turned the magazine to the companion next to him, made a hip movement and said, and after the soldier next to him saw it, he smiled and said:

"Tomorrow is the rotation, why don't we go to the city to have a fun? I heard that there are a lot of good goods at the bar. ”

"And if you're willing to spend a little more, there are high school girls who can"

Before his words fell, suddenly the alarm bell in the room sounded, accompanied by a piercing sound, and at the same time, the red warning light began to flash, and the soldier holding the magazine felt a thrill all over his body, and the thing that originally stood up involuntarily seemed to have completely lost contact!

"Fack! Damn Farke! Damn it! What's going on? ”

"Generous Crab! What is Fark Huaxia doing? Why are there so many radar alarms all of a sudden? ”

"One, two, three, four, five, six?"

"Damn! Damn it! Fast! Fast! The base alarm was sounded, Huaxia was suspected of conducting some kind of missile test, and the radar caught six rounds, which were flying in our direction, and a sudden attack could not be ruled out. ”

"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”

The soldier next to him directly sounded the alarm, and then grabbed the phone and began to report the news.

Then the whole base was in chaos, just as the fighter was about to slide out of the hangar and take off to deal with the next possible emergency, the light point on the radar disappeared, and it only lasted for more than ten seconds, as if nothing had happened!

"Damn? Gone? Disappear? ”

"Did you reach the end of the stage and fall into the sea?"

"Why is this happening? If it was a ballistic missile, we should have caught the traces a long time ago, and it shouldn't be! ”

"And the trajectory of the ballistic trajectory is also not right, it is certainly not a ballistic missile."

"Could it be some other new missile weapon? Damn Farke! Shit! ”

At this moment, in the command headquarters, when the commander heard the report, the whole person was also confused, and he couldn't help but curse, but he still ordered the fighter and reconnaissance plane to continue to take off, on the one hand to conduct reconnaissance, and on the other hand, just in case.

Just moments after the alarm sounded at Osan Air Base.

On the west coast, a certain naval base also sounded the alarm, but their radar only saw the target for a few seconds, and then the radar was calm again, and there was nothing!

Subsequently, the news was reported to the headquarters in Hawaii.

"Damn, what are they doing?"

"Let all bases pay attention and keep an eye on it!"

Although it was only a few seconds of radar footage, it still made the entire headquarters nervous, and then the news was sent to the military bases of the first and second island chains, such as Guam, Kadena, and Yokosuka, with a heavy look.

At this moment.

In the naval base in the east, a few minutes had passed since the rocket was launched, and a staff member trotted over, handed over a piece of paper, and explained breathlessly:

"Report! Radar depicting ballistic trajectories has come out. ”

"We have also received news from the sea that our ship has found the wreckage of the rocket."

"However, the preliminary judgment is that the landing point should be about 65 kilometers away from the launch point on average, and our salvage ship is currently rushing over, and among the six rockets, five of them are scattered in the surrounding area of five kilometers."

"Only one explosion occurred on the way, and the staff on our fishing boat witnessed the explosion, and now our personnel are also rushing over, but I am afraid that there is not much wreckage to be recovered."

"This is the radar trajectory map!"

Hearing this, the expression on Wang Ye's face became a little solemn, and after taking the trajectory chart and looking at it for a few seconds, Wang Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said:

"The experiment failed, it should be a problem with the engine."

"But it's not clear if it's the design or the manufacturing process."

Seeing Wang Ye's lost expression, Commander Song and Director Liang, who were present, glanced at each other, and then Commander Song said with a smile:

"It's okay, besides, I don't think it's a failure, I can only say that it's not very successful!"

"Although the expected range is 80 kilometers, the actual range is about 65 kilometers, and the achievement rate is as high as more than 80 percent, as the first test, I think this is already very good!"

"As for the one that exploded, this is also normal, we used to make rockets, how many times did they explode?"

"It's okay, keep up the good work! It's already good! ”

"As long as you choose the right direction, the rest is to work hard, I think your large-caliber long-range rocket artillery is in the right direction, the future is definitely promising, don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged! Hahaha! ”

"Besides, how long did it take you? It's already quite okay! ”

The scene was quiet, only Commander Song smiled and patted Wang Ye's shoulder hard, arranging Wang Ye, who was a little depressed, and the other rocket artillery researchers around him also looked a little sad.

For Commander Song, Wang Ye was used to smooth sailing in the past, but now he suddenly collapsed, which is of course a heavy blow and understandable.

And for Wang Ye, looking at the report in his hand, thoughts were churning in his mind, although failure was shameful and frustrating, but the biggest reason why Wang Ye was suddenly unhappy was not because of this!

After more than ten seconds of silence, under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye suddenly raised up, snorted and said with a wry smile:

"The failure of this trial is my problem, and I am here to review it."

"I made the mistake of rushing for quick success."

"I shouldn't have asked people to come up with a plan so quickly and make samples for experimentation at the same time."

"This is contrary to the objective laws of science."

"But fortunately, it didn't cause any big trouble, the engine didn't explode on the test bracket inside the workshop, which was the only thing I felt comforted about, and there were no casualties."

"I'm really sorry for everyone, and I apologize here."

"Our long-range rocket project, next slowly, don't catch up with the progress of the Saudi side!"

Everyone present didn't expect that Wang Ye, who had eased up, actually said such a thing, and he couldn't help but have a stunned expression on his face, and at the same time, some people keenly grasped a point, that is, Saudi Arabia!

And at this moment, Wang Ye's heart is also extremely complicated and guilty.

The reason why the rocket project is advancing so fast is that on the one hand, Wang Ye's confidence in himself, the formula structure has been given by hints, and the step-by-step debugging is absolutely no problem, and the engine structure is also the same, the relevant production process has been checked by itself, and after many experiments and debugging, it has basically barely reached the passing line.

On the other hand, it is also to catch up with the big dogs, and I hope that before I go, I can have one more fist product in my hand.

But two of the most important issues are overlooked.

The first problem, although each production process seems to have reached the qualified, but after the overlapping of one process after another, there will always be a time when the qualification is not reached, just like the error of machining, it will be superimposed!

In the era of small-caliber tubular rockets, this problem was not serious, and now it is prominent!

The second problem is that although a large number of technicians and scientists have been obtained, these people are getting older on the one hand, and they can come here, and they were not the top scientists in the past, and they can't really keep up with their own pace in many aspects.

But fortunately, I have formulated a strict experimental safety plan, and there is no loss during the experiment, which is a great luck!
