Chapter 340: Ballistic Missile (10)

Zhao Zhongyao looked at it for a while, then carefully touched the bullet with his finger. He felt just a little bit hot, far from reaching the point of melting!
"Zhongyao, how about it? Is this alloy warhead qualified?" Yan Mingcheng looked at the alloy warhead on the test device without any change, and felt that this one should be qualified.
"Yes, this one is fine. In the future, we will use this tungsten carbide alloy to make ballistic missile warheads." Zhao Zhongyao saw that the alloy warhead he developed had no problems during the test just now, and so did he. Sincerely happy, my efforts were not in vain, and I finally found something that can withstand high temperatures.
"Then can we develop ballistic missiles?" Yan Mingcheng heard Zhao Zhongyao say that the alloy warhead in front of him had a successful experiment, and he thought that ballistic missiles could be developed.
"Yes! The most important component of this ballistic missile is this alloy warhead. Now that we have successfully developed it, we will start developing the ballistic missile in the next step."
Zhao Zhongyao felt that the time was ripe now. As long as the warhead of the ballistic missile is developed, it is much easier to develop the overall missile.
"Okay, then, what work do I want to do next." Yan Mingcheng thought, although the following tasks are easy, someone still needs to do it! The internal structure of the missile is very complicated. It’s not just a warhead.
"Lao Yan, you can produce a test missile shell first! We also need to develop a small test bomb first. We can't develop the finished product all at once, or it would be a waste of money."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that the ballistic missile he designed was a medium-range missile with a range of 5,000 kilometers!
The size of such a missile is also very demanding. Because the warhead must contain a large amount of ammunition, the power of the missile is strong enough!
Although Zhao Zhongyao can use an engine such as an atomic engine, the volume of the missile is smaller than an ordinary engine engine. Considering the power of ballistic missiles, the size of the missile itself has to be made larger.
Zhao Zhongyao decided to design the ballistic missile he developed to a height of ten meters and a diameter of one meter.
When such a huge missile is launched, the power is quite large. As long as it hits the target, it can cause serious damage and lethal effects within one kilometer.
But this is just Zhao Zhongyao's overall idea. What he has to do now is to design a small test missile first.
Just like Jonis, before the formal development of ballistic missiles, he also wants to produce a small test bomb.
It's just that the test bomb that Jonnis just developed failed. When it attacked the target, it burned and exploded.
And Jonis has not found the real cause of the missile explosion! He just thought, because of the bullet!
Of course, the missile warhead he developed was not very good, and it also played a certain role in the failure of the test bomb this time, but this warhead was not the root cause of the failure of the small test bomb developed by Jonis.
For this reason, Jonis is not clear now. The reason for this failure is just the result of the warhead deformed under high temperature.
And Jonnis’ student Wesley also felt that there was a problem with the missile’s warhead, so together with Jonnis, he developed a new missile warhead.
"Teacher, what kind of warhead should we study below!" Wesley looked at his teacher helplessly.
"Tungsten warheads will not work, and titanium warheads will not work. I think we can only fuse these two metals together to make an alloy warhead. See if it works."
Jonnis had no other way. He had experimented with various elemental metals before. Now it seems that I can only test some alloy metals to see how it goes.
"Yeah! Teacher, if you can’t use elemental metal, then use alloy metal! I think adding some titanium to tungsten metal should increase the strength of tungsten metal, so that it can improve the high temperature resistance of ballistic missile warheads. Up."
After listening to the teacher, Wesley felt very reasonable, and agreed with the teacher that the two metals, tungsten and titanium, should be kneaded together!
In fact, for Jonis and Wesley, what they want to develop is a brand new weapon. Everything is strange. Everything can only be built on the basis of conjecture and experimentation.
At this point, Zhao Zhongyao was obviously much more advanced than the two of them.
Because Zhao Zhongyao was a reborn person, and was an outstanding physicist during his lifetime, although he had not personally done such things as the development of ballistic missiles.
But I have never eaten pork, I have never seen a pig go! Zhao Zhongyao was an old military fan who loved military industry.
He also knows a little about the professional knowledge of ballistic missiles. Therefore, if we develop this kind of missile again, we can naturally avoid many detours.
For Jonis, it's completely different, everything is fresh. He had never developed a weapon such as a missile before.
Jonis was originally an engine expert. When he was in college, he studied airplane power, mainly designing and developing engines on airplanes.
Only later, he was hired by some military companies in the United States and became an engineer for an arms company. In this way, he began to develop all kinds of weapons!
For advanced weapons such as missiles, in the world before Zhao Zhongyao was alive, there are no more advanced weapons. They can only be regarded as conventional weapons!
Only ballistic missiles among missiles can be regarded as sophisticated weapons, especially giant missiles among missiles, that is, long-range intercontinental missiles, which are a symbol of a country's military strength.
In particular, long-range intercontinental missiles with nuclear warheads, together with a country’s atomic and hydrogen bombs, are called the triad military strategy of a country’s nuclear forces.
Only some large countries that have mastered nuclear bomb technology are capable of developing super weapons-intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles.
Many small countries have no such weapons at all. Because they do not have the strength to develop nuclear weapons, it is naturally impossible to develop any super missiles-intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles.
Zhao Zhongyao knew that there was no such thing as an intercontinental missile in this world. Not to mention intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads, let alone.
You know, intercontinental missiles and space rockets are almost one category of things. It is impossible for a country to develop advanced intercontinental missiles without advanced rocket technology.
In this parallel world where Zhao Zhongyao was reborn, missiles are a new weapon that has just started. In the entire world, there are only such advanced weapons as China and M. And there are none in other countries!
Of course, several developed countries in the West have now begun to develop their own missile weapons. After all, this is a general trend in the development of weapons in the world. Any country capable of developing missiles will work hard to develop this new weapon.
Although country M in the world is the most developed country, they have not developed atomic weapons either!
After all, Einstein in this world is just a musician, a master of music playing the violin.
Because there is no "Relativity" and "Quantum Theory" in this world. Therefore, the development of various technologies in this world is relatively slow.
This is also true in the military industry. Without the guidance of advanced basic science, the military industry is also struggling!
Compared to the space where Zhao Zhongyao was reborn with a rapidly changing technological level, the science and technology of this parallel space is really too backward. Only equivalent to the level of the parallel world in the 1950s and 1960s.
Under the guidance of this level of science and technology, it is also very difficult to develop an advanced missile weapon!
The two Chinese military elites, Jonis and Wesley, also took a lot of effort to develop an advanced ballistic missile.
But in the end, the first test bomb they developed had failed.
Jonis attributed the failure of the last test bomb to the poor quality of the missile warhead they developed. The missile warhead generated high temperature when the missile flew at high speed and then melted the missile. In this way, the missile loses its balance, and of course it will roll and explode.
And now their mentor and apprentice want to develop a kind of alloy warhead again!
To say that their thinking is correct. I originally wanted to develop high-temperature resistant materials, but I had to use alloy materials!
But the crux of the problem is that you find the right material, not just any metal fused together, can become a high temperature resistant material.
Tungsten-titanium alloy does not mean that tungsten and titanium are simply fused together. This is a complicated technique.
Especially in order to improve the high temperature resistance of the alloy, the "tungsten" and "titanium" in the tungsten titanium alloy are not pure "tungsten" and "titanium". It is an alloy of ‘tungsten carbide’ and ‘titanium carbide’.
Only the tungsten-titanium alloy material made in this way has the characteristics of high temperature resistance.
Previously, the tungsten carbide alloy material developed by Zhao Zhongyao was exactly this alloy material of tungsten carbide and titanium carbide.
Therefore, the tungsten-titanium alloy warhead he developed has strong high temperature resistance. Higher temperature resistance than pure tungsten metal.
Zhao Zhongyao knew about these materials and technologies before he was alive. He didn't need to do any more experiments to develop such materials directly, and then use them in the development of his own missiles.
Jonis and Wesley are different. The two of them didn't know the material technology in this area. If you want to develop new materials with high temperature resistance, you can only rely on imagination to test.
However, the two of them are military elites after all, and they also know the characteristics of many metals. So, I suddenly thought of using a new material like tungsten-titanium alloy!
They think the direction is right, but when doing it, it is not so easy. The two of them just fused the ‘tungsten’ metal and the ‘titanium’ metal together. Just like this, even if it is a tungsten-titanium alloy.
The result of what they did was definitely not satisfactory.
Because they fuse two metals together in this way, they can't improve the high temperature resistance of the metal at all. It can only improve the wear resistance of metals.
Because just simply fuse two metals together, it will not be able to withstand high temperatures. To know that something that is really resistant to high temperatures must not be metal. It's something non-metallic.
This non-metallic thing is naturally carbon.
Everyone knows that after ordinary organic matter burns, some black things will remain. These things are naturally carbon.
From this point of view, we know that carbon is difficult to burn.
Therefore, if you want metals to have high temperature resistance, you can only add carbon to the metal!
Zhao Zhongyao knew this knowledge a long time ago.
But Jonis and Wesley didn't know it. They just thought very simple. They felt that fusing two kinds of high-temperature resistant metals together would make them more resistant to high temperatures!
Isn't this ridiculous! If you say it like this, if several metals are fused together, does it mean that the high temperature resistance of this alloy is equal to the sum of the melting points of several metals?
Obviously this is unreasonable and very ridiculous.
Jonis and Wesley don't have material knowledge in this area, so they can only do these foolish things first.
In this way, Jonis and Wesley fused tungsten and titanium together to develop a new alloy warhead.
"Teacher, do we want to do another test! See if this missile can withstand high temperatures!"
Wesley saw that the tungsten-titanium alloy warhead they developed had already been produced in the workshop, so he wanted to do a high-temperature resistance test first!
"No, it will definitely work this time. Let's install this missile directly on the test bomb! In this way, we can directly test how this alloy warhead is going." Jonis was still very confident and didn't bother to do it again. The high temperature resistance of the missile warhead has been tested.
"Well, let's install the warhead directly on the test missile!" Although Wesley was a little worried. But he was just an assistant and student of Jonis. He had to listen to Jonis’s command.
The two of them then commanded some skilled workers and installed the alloy warhead they had developed on an experimental missile.
After installing it, Jonis couldn't wait to conduct another test shot.
"Teacher, our missiles should be able to test successfully this time! We won't be somersaults in the sky anymore!" Wesley looked at the assembled test missiles before him, and he couldn't help asking Jonis. Since the last time, he personally watched the test missile explode and disintegrate in the high altitude. This scene made him feel a little lingering!
"Don't worry! Wesley, this time guarantees a success. Wasn't it because of the missile warhead last time? Haven't we solved this problem!"
