Chapter 343: Ballistic Missile (13)

Jonis was a little helpless. He didn't know what to do with the missile balance problem. After all, this time he had to face a new problem.
"Wesley, do you have a good idea!" Jonis had no other way, so he wanted to call Wesley to find a way!
Through the recent period of getting along with Wesley. Jonis felt that his own student was really amazing, and he could think of many things he could not think of!
"Teacher, I can't do anything about this! You designed the shape of the missile. I don't see any problem. If you want me to figure out a solution, I can only study it slowly for a few days!
Now this question is really troublesome! You said that if there is a problem with the missile's balance system, the missile should crash as soon as it is launched!
But everything is normal after our missile is launched. Only when the speed reaches the fastest will it lose its balance. How to solve this problem! I really don't know what to do! "
Wesley is also very helpless. He also feels clueless about such a difficult problem. He doesn't know how to solve it!
"Okay, then the two of us will continue to study this problem for the next time! If this problem is not solved, we will not be able to develop a ballistic missile." Jonis looked at Wesley and said to him the following What they have to do.
Wesley nodded, agreeing.
Not to mention that Jonis and Wesley continue to study the missile balance problem.
But talk about Zhao Zhongyao's research situation here.
Zhao Zhongyao finally solved the missile warhead problem with tungsten carbide warhead.
And Yan Mingcheng conducted experiments on the ring device. Everything is normal, which makes him very happy.
"Lao Yan, as long as this warhead is developed, then we can develop an experimental bomb in the next step." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng excitedly and said.
"Okay, then we will quickly build an experimental bomb. If it succeeds, we can develop a real ballistic missile." Yan Mingcheng naturally nodded in agreement.
In the next few days, Zhao Zhongyao personally designed an experimental missile. And the previously developed tungsten carbide warhead was also used.
Since this experimental bomb is not very big, it is only three meters long. Compared with a real medium-range ballistic missile, this experimental bomb is much smaller.
Soon Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng developed this small experimental bomb.
In a calm weather, the two of them launched the experimental bomb together.
Of course, they do it in the same way as Jonis and the others! A false target was placed in the sea near the research base in advance.
The Jonnis team placed a fish boat. And what Zhao Zhongyao placed was a warship model made of foam.
After the warship model was placed, Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng led the soldiers of several missile battalions to launch this experimental bomb.
"Old Yan, do you think we can succeed this time!" Zhao Zhongyao asked when the missile was launched, looking at Yan Mingcheng beside him.
"Of course it can, and it doesn't matter who developed it. How could the experimental bomb developed by a super military expert like Zhao Zhongyao fail!"
Yan Mingcheng is very confident, because he has always felt that Zhao Zhongyao is a great capable man, there is no problem that Zhao Zhongyao can't understand, and there is no weapon that Zhao Zhongyao can't develop.
"Haha, you feel relieved to me!" Zhao Zhongyao smiled heartily when he heard Yan Mingcheng's words.
"Of course, Zhongyao does things, can Lao Yan rest assured! This is my motto!" Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao and joked again.
"Don't worry, let's see how this experimental bomb is going!" Zhao Zhongyao is not very relieved, after all, this is a weapon he has not developed!
Although two types of missiles have been developed before, neither of those two types of missiles can be compared with the type of missiles developed by ourselves now!
The previous missiles all flew at low altitudes, at most, at an altitude of several kilometers. But the missile developed this time has to fly hundreds of kilometers!
The environment of hundreds of kilometers is almost the same as outer space. Zhao Zhongyao himself has no confidence in whether the missile can fly in such an environment!
Of course, the experimental bomb he is developing now, because of its relatively small size and carrying less fuel, naturally cannot fly in an altitude of a few hundred kilometers, but can only fly in an altitude of tens of kilometers.
But even so, it flies much higher than the previous missiles. Zhao Zhongyao himself is not sure whether it can fly smoothly at high altitude.
Just when Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng were chatting, the missile was launched and flew vertically towards the sky.
After a few minutes, the missile reached its highest point and then began to level off.
After flying for another few minutes, the missile began to dive and attack the target.
"Zhongyao, look forward to it. Our missiles will surely destroy the target." Yan Mingcheng was very confident. He saw that the missile had begun to dive, and he was happily preparing to applaud and congratulate!
Zhao Zhongyao didn't say anything, but stared intently at the experimental missile diving towards the target.
But when the missile was about 100 meters away from the target, it suddenly began to roll, and then exploded with a loud bang.
Yan Mingcheng is about to applaud! He raised his hands. But when he saw this scene, his hand stopped in midair again.
"Zhongyao, this---what's the situation? Did you install an air bomb fuze in the warhead of the experimental missile!"
Yan Mingcheng looked at this situation, he was very strange. I also wondered whether this was the air explosion scene designed by Zhao Zhongyao to be carried out at a certain distance from the target.
"Empty bird! How could I design an air-explosive fuze in the missile! This is an unexpected situation, and I wonder too!"
As soon as Zhao Zhongyao heard Yan Mingcheng's words, he quickly denied it. After all, this situation was never deliberately done by him, and he did not want to see such a situation!
"Why, Zhongyao, it was not specially designed by you, then what is going on! How can the missile explode in the air!" Yan Mingcheng still looked at Zhao Zhongyao in confusion.
"The missile lost its balance at the last moment, so it exploded on its own." Zhao Zhongyao saw it very clearly just now. He saw that the missile rolled in the air for a few times before it exploded. "
"What, the missile lost its balance in the air, how could this be possible! Didn't the missile fly well before! How could it lose its balance at the last critical moment?"
When Yan Mingcheng heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, he was very puzzled.
"I'm still surprised! But it turned out to be like this. Didn't you also see that the missile first rolled in the air and then exploded." Zhao Zhongyao said, looking at Yan Mingcheng with a little discouragement.
"Ah, that's true! What can we do? If so, even if a real ballistic missile is developed and launched, it will not be the same!"
When Yan Mingcheng listened to Zhao Zhongyao's explanation, he was very nervous and didn't know how to solve this problem!
"Yes! So, we must solve this problem now." Zhao Zhongyao said while walking back.
"Do you want to redesign a missile shape!" Yan Mingcheng thought. Since it is a missile balance problem, then we can only design another missile shape.
"It's useless to design it again! The shape of this missile has been tested! The atomic missiles and cruise missiles we developed before are almost of this shape. Only the center of the cruise missile has two more flanks. Everything else is the same."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that although the shapes of the two missiles they had developed before were quite different, the overall shape was still the same. That is, there are two more wings on the cruise missile, except for this part, all parts are the same.
"Zhongyao, then we can also install two flanks in the middle of the ballistic missile. In this case, is it possible that the ballistic missile can maintain its balance at high speed?"
When Yan Mingcheng heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, he thought of installing two flanks in the middle of the ballistic missile!
"No! If you do this, the ballistic missile will explode as soon as it dives." After hearing Yan Mingcheng's words, Zhao Zhongyao immediately denied his words.
"Zhongyao, since the flanks of the missile have a balancing effect, why not assemble the flanks of the ballistic missile! How can it be said that after installing the flanks, the missile exploded quickly when it dived!"
After Yan Mingcheng heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, it was difficult for him to understand this matter.
"Cruise missiles are equipped with flanks to allow it to cruise in the sky, not to make it fly faster. The speed of cruise missiles is basically equal to or lower than the speed of sound.
At this speed, the flanks of the cruise missile have a balancing effect. But the attack and dive speed of ballistic missiles reached seventeen or eight times the speed of sound.
Under such high-speed conditions, the flanks on the missile will not have a balancing effect at all. On the contrary, it will only make the missile lose its balance and crash quickly. "
As a super military industry expert, Zhao Zhongyao knows more about missile performance and balance issues than military cadres like Yan Mingcheng. He directly rejected Yan Mingcheng's suggestion.
"Zhongyao, then how do you solve the balance problem?" Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao with some puzzlement.
"I don't know yet! Let's think about it for a few days!" Zhao Zhongyao himself didn't know how to solve this problem!
"Okay, then think about it slowly! I won't bother you." After Yan Mingcheng finished speaking, he walked out of Zhao Zhongyao's office.
Zhao Zhongyao sat at the desk and looked at the ballistic missile drawing he designed before. He felt a little irritable. After all, he hadn't encountered this problem before, and he didn't know how to solve it!
But after deliberation, he couldn't think of any way to solve the problem of missile balance during high-speed flight.
Because under normal circumstances, the balance problem of the aircraft is solved by the side wings or the tail wings.
For example, the wings and tail on an airplane are the key components for the airplane to maintain balance in the air. If the airplane does not have the wings and tail, let alone the problem of maintaining balance in the air, it may not even be able to fly.
But does it mean that nothing can fly without wings and tails!
Obviously not. A weapon like a missile can fly even without a tail fin. The reason is that the initial speed of the missile is very fast, and it will get faster and faster during the flight.
But even so, the missile needs a tail. Because there is no tail fin, the missile will change direction during flight, or even flip in the air, and then fall from high altitude.
However, the tail wing of the missile has a balancing effect when the speed of the missile is not particularly fast. Once the speed of the missile reaches more than ten times the speed of sound, the balance effect of the tail wing of the missile is not great.
This is why Zhao Zhongyao's previous experimental missile launch failed.
Zhao Zhongyao knew about this problem.
But he doesn't know how to solve this problem!
This is a new problem he has never encountered before.
In other words, how can the missile still maintain a stable attitude when flying at extremely high speeds?
But Zhao Zhongyao thought for two days, but there was no result.
Because under normal circumstances, that is to make some changes to the shape of the missile, add some side wings or tail wings. To keep the missile stable at high altitude.
But when there is a problem, the speed of ballistic missiles is very fast, and this traditional method does not work at all.
It seems that to solve this problem, some special methods must be used.
Zhao Zhongyao thought about it for a few days, but couldn't think of a reason.
Today, Zhao Zhongyao is still thinking about this issue.
Yan Mingcheng suddenly came to Zhao Zhongyao with an alarm clock.
"Zhongyao, have you thought of how to solve the missile balance problem!" Yan Mingcheng put the alarm clock in front of Zhao Zhongyao, and did not say what to do with him, but first asked Zhao Zhongyao about what he was doing.
"Not yet! This problem is troublesome. The traditional method is simply not possible! A special method must be found!" Zhao Zhongyao said helplessly at Yan Mingcheng.
"Okay, it really can't be solved, there is no way, this ballistic missile mission, just don't do it. Anyway, you can't complete this mission, let alone others. The superiors can't blame you! Nor are you. Gods, not everything can be solved. Are you an ordinary person too!"
Yan Mingcheng heard Zhao Zhongyao's words and comforted him.
Zhao Zhongyao patted Yan Mingcheng on the shoulder and smiled: "How can you say that! The development of any weapon is not smooth, and you will encounter problems like this! If you encounter problems, you have to give up. , Then there won't be any advanced weapons in this world."
Zhao Zhongyao shook his head after hearing Yan Mingcheng's words. Obviously, he would not agree with Yan Mingcheng's words and give up the task of developing ballistic missiles.
