Chapter 338: Ballistic Missile (8)

Yan Mingcheng looked at the fishes exuding the stench in front of him, and suddenly he thought of a way to fake it. Be prepared to have a good solution next time you encounter such a problem. In this way, you will not be disturbed by these stinky fish during weapon development.
"Old Yan! We are all soldiers, how can we do this! How can soldiers use fakes to be true!" After hearing Yan Mingcheng's words, Zhao Zhongyao joked with him again.
"Don't say that. It's because we are soldiers that we are arguing with the fake! Just like what we are doing now, isn't it just arguing with the real?" Yan Mingcheng laughed at what Zhao Zhongyao said.
"Yeah! What you said is very good. It seems that in the future, we will really have to use fakes to mess with the real!" Zhao Zhongyao heard what Yan Mingcheng said, and he was a little bit helpless to refute.
"Hey, don't talk about these useless things. Zhongyao, you should hurry up to study your ballistic missiles! I won't bother you." Yan Mingcheng knew that their mission was also urgent, so he didn't want to disturb Zhao Zhong again. Far away.
After Zhao Zhongyao listened, he looked at Yan Mingcheng and said: "I have developed a ballistic missile warhead, but I don't know what to do! Let's take it to the workshop to check it out."
In the past few days, Zhao Zhongyao has been specially used to study the warheads of ballistic missiles. He thought, since the warheads are to withstand high temperatures, only tungsten can be used. Only tungsten, which has a high melting point, may be used to make warheads for ballistic missiles!
"Really, let's try it out!" When Yan Mingcheng heard Zhao Zhongyao say this, he and Zhao Zhongyao went to the workshop again.
Zhao Zhongyao put a tungsten warhead that had already been developed on the test device. Yan Mingcheng also came to help, and the two of them tied the tungsten warhead to a ring of the ring device.
Next, Zhao Zhongyao pressed the switch, and the ring device suddenly spun rapidly. And the speed is getting faster and faster, almost to the point where you can't see anything on the ring.
About half an hour later, Zhao Zhongyao turned off the switch again, and the circular ring slowly stopped.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao watched with a bit of discouragement. The tungsten warhead he had developed before had been melted by the high temperature, and the warhead was dented.
"Zhongyao, this is not great! It seems that you still can't use tungsten warheads! Look, the whole warhead is sunken in."
Yan Mingcheng also saw a phenomenon that surprised him a little. The very hard metal tungsten was melted at such a high temperature. The warhead, which was originally very pointed, has now become flat.
"Yes! It seems that using tungsten warheads is still not possible! What can we do! Tungsten is already the element with the highest melting point!"
Zhao Zhongyao looked at the scene in front of him, making him a little discouraged, not knowing what kind of warhead he should develop next.
"Zhongyao, don't worry about taking your time! Maybe the enemy is testing this warhead just like us, but the test failed!"
Yan Mingcheng saw Zhao Zhongyao a little discouraged, so he comforted Zhao Zhongyao.
"Well! I won't give up. I will continue to develop." Zhao Zhongyao said as he came out of the workshop.
Yan Mingcheng knew that Zhao Zhongyao needed a quiet environment, so he didn't follow him, but let Zhao Zhongyao go outside to be quiet.
Besides, it's the same with Jonis, he also conducted a warhead test, also using tungsten warheads! After all, as long as you have some physical knowledge, you know that tungsten is the metal with the highest melting point of all metals.
Now that high-temperature-resistant metals are used, of course it is tungsten!
Jonis and his student, Wesley, conducted an experiment. The purpose was the same as Zhao Zhongyao's idea, which was to test whether the tungsten warheads they developed could withstand extremely high temperatures.
But the result of the experiment also disappointed him, because the result of their experiment was the same as that of Zhao Zhongyao's experiment.
Their tungsten warhead also melted on the rotating device, and the whole warhead became a pit.
"Hey, how could this happen! This kind of warhead still can't stand the test of high temperature!" Jonis is now very unhappy looking at the warhead he developed, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.
"Teacher, don't worry, any test can't be successful at one time! Let's test a few more metals." Wesley was not too anxious, he was quite calm.
"Wesley, don't you know that tungsten is the metal with the highest melting point of all metals! If tungsten is not enough, I really don't know what metal to use!"
Jonis listened to Wesley's words, and he said helplessly.
"Teacher, you can try titanium! Isn't the melting point of titanium also very high!" After hearing what Jonis said, Wesley said his own opinion.
"The melting point of titanium is very high, but it is not as high as that of tungsten! You said that tungsten is not acceptable, so can you say that tungsten is fine!"
Wesley told his teacher his thoughts again.
"What you think is pretty good, but even if the melting point of titanium is very high, you dare not have the melting point of tungsten! You said that you don't know how to use tungsten. What's the point of using titanium?
After hearing Wesley's words, Jonis felt a little disapproving, feeling that what Wesley was saying was a little unreliable, and it didn't work at all.
"No, teacher, don't think that the melting point of titanium is lower than that of tungsten, but the thermal conductivity of this metal is lower than that of tungsten, and the hardness is also higher than that of tungsten. I think you can also experiment."
Wesley told Jonis his thoughts.
After hearing this, Jonis felt somewhat reasonable.
"Yeah! Okay, yes, your kid is getting smarter now! I feel like I can experiment with this."
Jonis listened to Wesley's analysis, and he felt that there was some truth.
So their mentor and apprentice destroyed the original warhead and re-developed the titanium warhead.
After a week of research and development, they finally produced a brand new warhead, the titanium warhead.
"Teacher, we can test it again now. There should be no problem. This kind of warhead should be more resistant to high temperatures than tungsten warheads."
Wesley is also very confident.
After hearing this, Jonis said, "Okay, let's try it out."
After the two said, they took the developed titanium warhead to the test room.
Their device is similar to the test device developed by Zhao Zhongyao.
However, their test equipment is more complicated. After all, he is an old military worker, and he has some experience in developing some equipment than Zhao Zhongyao.
Especially in the development of these test equipment, he has more experience than Zhao Zhongyao.
The test device made by Zhao Zhongyao is nothing more than a powerful motor and a large ring.
But this kind of ring device developed by Jonis has a large motor and an outer protective cover. After all, this is also a relatively dangerous test!
When those missile warheads adjust their rotation, they will have a great eccentricity! If you don't install a protective cover outside, it is naturally easy for the warhead to fly out of the ring when it rotates rapidly.
If the warhead spun out of the ring at high speed, it would be faster than a bullet! At such a speed, it would be miserable if it hits a person, the warhead can pass directly through the body!
Jonis has some experience, so when developing this device, he used a protective cover outside, which is much safer.
However, Zhao Zhongyao soon realized this problem, and he would soon install a protective cover on his device.
Let’s not talk about Zhao Zhongyao now, let’s talk about Jonis and his student Wesley, who developed a titanium warhead and then tested it.
This time, Jonnis was really satisfied.
Because this kind of titanium warhead can really withstand thousands of degrees of high temperature, it has not melted. This is really strange.
In theory, the melting point of tungsten is higher than that of titanium. But in practical applications, titanium is more resistant to high temperatures than tungsten!
"Wesley, you are really not easy! It seems that you can be a teacher! I never thought that this problem would be solved by you!"
Jonnis saw that the problem he could not solve before was solved by his students. He felt very shameless, but at the same time he felt very face. After all, is Wesley his student! No matter how good Wesley is, is that also what his teacher teaches!
"Teacher, don't praise me, I just have this idea, and I don't know if I can succeed! It seems that it is really possible!"
Wesley did not expect that this idea of ​​his would be a success!
In fact, they were able to test successfully this time because they had a small problem with their device just now, so the speed of the rapidly rotating ring just now was not as fast as before.
It's just that this kind of circular object in a high-speed rotation state, even if it is a little slow, is not visible to the naked eye.
This is because just now, when Jonis and Wesley were experimenting, the voltage of this motor was slightly lower, so the working efficiency of this motor would naturally be lower.
But all of this didn't even let Jonis and Wesley notice it!
They both felt that they had succeeded in the experiment!
In fact, think about it, since the melting point of tungsten is much higher than that of titanium, how can titanium be more resistant to high temperatures than tungsten! Is this unscientific! It's just that both Jonis and Wesley only valued the results of the experiment, and didn't think about it any further.
"Okay, that's great, we have solved this problem, then we can proceed with the development of ballistic missiles."
When Jonis saw that he had solved the warhead problem, he wanted to start developing the missile.
"Okay, we will start developing missiles right away." Wesley was naturally very happy after hearing this.
One of the most important problems of ballistic missiles is the high temperature resistance of the warhead. Now Jonis and Wesley feel that they have solved it. So began to develop missiles!
Soon, they developed a test bomb.
This is a small test bomb, only three meters long and 20 cm in diameter. The warhead is fifty centimeters long.
"Teacher, this time, we will definitely be able to succeed once."
Wesley looked at the missile they successfully developed, and he was still very confident!
"Yeah! We will definitely succeed this time. At that time, we can develop real ballistic missiles. Then, we can continue to declare war on China. I still don't believe it. Our ballistic missiles can't beat Zhao. What cruise missile developed by Zhongyao."
Jonis looked at the little test bomb in front of him, and he was dreaming of his great dream again! Just thinking about using the ballistic missile he developed to compete with the cruise missile developed by Zhao Zhongyao!
"Teacher, I believe that the ballistic missiles we developed this time will surely defeat the cruise missiles developed by Zhao Zhongyao."
Wesley looked at the test missile in front of him, he was also very confident!
"Okay, the launch test will begin immediately. The weather today is really good." Jonis saw that the weather outside was clear, and he urged Wesley to start the test launch of this missile.
"Well, I will ask someone to transport the test missile to the launch site immediately."
After Wesley finished speaking, he called a few soldiers, and then transported the test missile to a nearby launch site.
When everything was ready, Jonis personally pressed the launch button.
The test missile suddenly rose into the air and flew vertically toward the high altitude.
"Haha, great, everything is going well!" Jonnis and Wesley saw that the launch went smoothly, and they both laughed happily first.
In this way, after a while, after the test missile flew to a certain height, it began to dive down. Dive down almost at a vertical angle! This is also the difference between ballistic missiles and general missiles.
The reason why ballistic missiles are more powerful than ordinary missiles is that when they attack a target, they are like a fighter jet, diving towards the target.
In this way, the speed of the ballistic missile will be very fast, reaching ten times the speed of sound.
Under such a high-speed attack, no missile weapon can intercept it.
Now the test missile developed by Jonis and Wesley dived directly from high altitude and flew towards the target in the sea.
But the missile had just dived for a hundred meters or so, when the test ballistic missile warhead burst into flames. Then the whole test bomb began to roll. Finally, it exploded with a'boom' in the high altitude tens of meters from the sea. The entire test bomb disintegrated into fragments.
"Ah, how could this happen, what is going on!" Jonnis looked at the situation, he cried out in shock.
"Yes! Teacher, what the is going on! How could the missile suddenly catch fire and it is still rolling in the air!" Wesley looked at some missile fragments in the air, and he was also very puzzled!
