Vol 2 Chapter 578: The role of missiles in space

For Xiong Antai's statement, most people in the conference room still agree, but there are still many people who can't accept this idea.
　　
　　 "I don't know how much the guided missiles that Director Xiong said can be useful in space. In my impression, don't most of the power of missiles rely on shock waves to cause damage?
　　
　　 But in space, there is no air to spread, the lethality of the missile seems to be very small, right? Just to be a launch vehicle, I think it doesn’t seem to be cost-effective to invest a huge amount of money in research? "Tian Mingli asked his question.
　　
This is also the question of most people in the conference room. After all, everyone has such a perception that how useful a slow weapon like a missile can be in space is invisible to everyone, so everyone looks curiously. Xiong Antai, let's see how he explained.
　　
If the explanation fails, everyone must suspect that this guy is trying to find an excuse to raise research funds for his rocket laboratory. Although the company has always fully supported the investment in research and development funds at the request of Lei Tiantang, the funds are It also requires a legitimate reason or R&D direction, and most people in the conference room have such doubts.
　　
Seeing that everyone, including the boss, had such questions, Xiong Antai was not surprised at all. He smiled confidently and said: "I know everyone’s questions. Maybe in everyone’s understanding, weapons like missiles can only be used in The earth can have a good lethality, but in space, its lethality is not enough!
　　
This is mainly because everyone feels that the most important shock wave for missile damage is not available in space, but this is only a limited view. On the one hand, the lethality of modern missiles is accomplished by shock waves, but there are still skin damage and heat. Radiation damage and other killing modes.
　　
Take a nuclear bomb as an example. Its power mainly comes from the shock wave of the explosion, but its radiation lethality is not small. Of course, the radiation in the cosmic environment is inherently strong, so the radiation protection effect of space battleships can be guaranteed. Yes, this leads to the role of radiation killing in space is not very large.
　　
　　 But everyone, don’t forget that nuclear bombs have one of the biggest lethal properties, that is temperature. When they explode, the instantaneous temperature is as high as 100 million degrees. The explosion temperature of hydrogen bombs and three-phase bombs is even higher!
　　
So even if their greatest shock wave lethality in space is gone, as long as their high-temperature lethality is still there, they will not be eliminated, because as long as they are hit by a nuclear bomb carried by guided missiles, they are basically finished, because there is no What kind of protective layer of warships can survive such high temperatures, so it is incorrect to say that guided missiles have no power.
　　
　　 Even if our guided missiles do not carry nuclear bombs, we can also carry impact weapons. Using the terminal acceleration capabilities of the guided missiles, the armor-piercing projectiles still have a certain lethality!
　　
　　 can also carry electromagnetic bombs, corrosion bombs and other warheads, flexibility is its most important feature!
　　
In the space age, general weapon launches are limited by the detection range, and they cannot be hit if they are not aimed correctly. However, guided missiles are different. You only need to enter a rough target, then launch the missile, and it will use it by itself. Own detection device, after flying near the target, it will automatically carry out the aiming attack!
　　
Moreover, weapons such as electromagnetic railguns can only attack in a straight line, which is much worse in flexibility, and it is also difficult to attack the important parts of the opponent’s space battleship. For places like engines, only intelligent guidance can be used. The missile came around and attacked.
　　
　　Especially the concealment of guided missiles is also very important. It can be launched cold, fly a certain distance away from the spacecraft by inertia, and then ignite, so that the position of our own spacecraft will not be easily exposed.
　　
　　 can also be disguised as space junk and make a sudden approach attack when the opposing warship approaches. This advantage is not available in other weapons.
　　
Of course, the reaction speed of guided missiles is also an advantage. You must know that no matter what kind of energy weapon, it needs to be charged before launch. This leads to the reaction speed of energy weapons in case of an attack in space operations. It will be slow.
　　
　　 The advantage that guided missiles can be launched immediately when they encounter an attack is reflected at this time. They can become the vanguard of the rapid defense and counterattack of warships, so that energy weapons will not be destroyed before they are delivered.
　　
　　 There are some other advantages, I won’t explain them one by one. The advantages I’m talking about now can prove that guided missiles are an indispensable weapon in the future space, so it is very necessary to develop them!
　　
　　 The above is my point of view, all of which I think about in my usual work. Before we initially discussed what weapons should be installed on the spacecraft, I paid attention to it. I hope my point of view can be approved by everyone! "
　　
　　 "Okay! This idea of ​​Director Xiong is really eye-catching!" Lei Tiantang said happily while applauding.
　　
　　 There was also warm applause in the conference room. After listening to Xiong Antai’s explanation, everyone now expressed support for his listing of guided missiles as a weapon on the company’s future spacecraft.
　　
"In this case, let your rocket laboratory do the research and development of missiles! Your laboratory has established an independent missile research and development laboratory to conduct research and development on various missiles. UU reading www.uukanshu.com anyway, this is exactly what What you are good at!
　　
Turning heads to engage in rockets and missiles are all professionals. Just a year ago, those countries and media who watched our company were upset were also saying that we are going to do ballistic missile research, saying that we are a threat, and now we are really threatening to show them. ! "Lei Tiantang said with a smile.
　　
　　 Everyone laughed when they heard the boss say this. They were also very upset about this matter for a while. Now let those people’s worries become reality, and see what you can do!
　　
　　"Boss, since Director Xiong said that our space weapons can't walk on one leg, and guided missiles have been added, then I also propose to include laser weapons!
　　
I think everyone knows the power of laser weapons. Its launch speed is very important for future space operations. You must know that whether it is electromagnetic railguns or guided missiles, their speed cannot be achieved for a long time. Too big a breakthrough.
　　
　　 But the laser weapon is launched at the speed of light, and the attack speed is not comparable to those of the two weapons, so it should also be one of the main weapons on our company's spacecraft in the future! "Zhang Hanxiu, the director of the Deep Space Laboratory, said his thoughts without lagging behind.
