Chapter 345: Stealth Missile (2)

Zhao Zhongyao began to design the ‘gyro’. This thing looks simple, but in fact it is not that easy to design.
Although the gyroscope is not a complicated instrument, it can be regarded as a very precise instrument. It is by no means just a small gyroscope casually.
A gyroscope is a mechanical device. Its main part is a rotor that rotates at a very high angular velocity on the axis of rotation. The rotor is installed in a bracket; an inner ring frame is added to the central axis of the rotor, so the gyroscope can surround the plane. The two axes move freely; then, an outer ring frame is added to the inner ring frame; this gyroscope has two balance rings, which can move freely around the three axes of the plane, which is a complete space gyroscope.
Although Zhao Zhongyao was not a military industry expert before his death, he was also a military enthusiast and knew some military industry knowledge.
He also studied things like gyroscopes before. It is very easy to design this thing now.
After all, he already has the shape of this thing in his mind, and what he has to do now is to draw the image in his brain.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao used a day's time to draw the shape of a space gyroscope he imagined.
With this design drawing, it is naturally much easier to produce this thing.
In another day, Zhao Zhongyao built the space gyroscope.
At that time, Yan Mingcheng was also watching. When he saw Zhao Zhongyao making a gadget, he said in surprise, "Is this the'gyro' you said?"
Zhao Zhongyao took the'gyro' in his hand and played with it, and said, "Yes! Why, don't you believe it!"
Yan Mingcheng scratched his head and smiled: "Why don't you believe it, I just feel that this thing is too simple! Just this, can it keep the balance of the missile!"
Zhao Zhongyao glanced at the ‘gyro’ in his hand again and said, "Can you please try it and you’ll know."
As Zhao Zhongyao said, he installed this small gyroscope into the tail of an experimental missile nearby.
Before, he had made improvements to the tail of this missile, so that this little ‘gyro’ had a place to put it.
After everything was done, he said to Yan Mingcheng: "Go, we can continue the missile experiment."
Yan Mingcheng followed Zhao Zhongyao suspiciously.
The two of them walked out of the workshop, then went to a temporary company next to them and called a few soldiers.
This is a company of a missile battalion temporarily formed on a small island. It is used for missile launch test.
As before, Yan Mingcheng used to call a few soldiers out and transported the experimental missile that Zhao Zhongyao had placed the ‘gyro’ just now in a small cart.
Then came to a temporary launch site nearby.
There is a makeshift launch pad.
Because ballistic missiles are launched vertically. Therefore, the launch pad, that is, the rocket launch pad used in the world before Zhao Zhongyao was alive, is similar.
Originally, ballistic missiles and launch vehicles belong to the same missile family. It's just that their purpose is different, so the name is different.
Generally speaking, civilian ballistic missiles are naturally not called missiles, they are called launch vehicles. The ballistic missiles used by the military are naturally called missiles, not rockets.
Together, Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng asked the soldiers to install this experimental missile on the launcher.
Everything was the same as before, under the command of Yan Mingcheng, and then Zhao Zhongyao personally pressed the launch button.
"Boom!" This experimental missile went straight up again.
After the missile flew vertically for a few minutes, it began to fly horizontally again.
After flying horizontally for less than a minute, he began to dive and attack the target again.
Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng were still a little nervous when they saw that the missile began to attack the target again!
Since the target area is tens of nautical miles away from their island, it is not easy to see the target area clearly with the naked eye on the island.
If you want to see the target area clearly, you need to use a telescope!
Now Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng each hold an ordinary military telescope in their hands. Keep watching the movement of the target area.
You must know that it has failed several times before, and if it is not successful, Zhao Zhongyao does not know how to develop this ballistic missile.
Both of them held their breath now, watching whether the missile would show up in the previous situation. I'm afraid that the missile will roll and self-destruct and explode when it approaches the target!
The missile is now very close to the target. The goal is only a hundred meters away.
Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng were very nervous, both of them stared in surprise.
Although Zhao Zhongyao felt that this time it should be successful.
But after all, it was an experiment. Whether he can succeed in the end, he has no idea.
Yan Ming's achievement is even more nervous. Because he feels that the little ‘gyro’ is not a high-tech precision instrument, just using this gadget can really solve the big problem of missile balance.
As a result, both of them looked very nervously at the experimental missile that was still flying at high speed in the sky. The eyes were so wide that they were afraid that the missile would explode on its own as before.
Now the missile flew over the target immediately, less than 20 meters away. This distance has not been achieved by previous experimental missiles.
"boom!"
The missile successfully destroyed the target and did not explode in midair.
"Haha, good, good, successful, successful."
When Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng saw that the experimental missile finally successfully destroyed the target this time, they both jumped up happily.
"Zhongyao, I really didn't expect that the little'gyro' you developed is really useful! It can actually prevent the missile from rolling and successfully destroy the target!"
Yan Mingcheng used his binoculars to look at a model warship whose missiles had been blown to pieces. He was very happy.
"Whether it works or not has nothing to do with the size of the components. Last time, the'electronic cutter' that I developed is not that big! It's much smaller than this electronic'gyro', but how is it? Take down the enemy unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
The more sophisticated the instrument, the more compact it is. This is a common phenomenon. What else can't you understand! "
After hearing what Yan Mingcheng said, Zhao Zhongyao explained it to him.
"Zhongyao, what you said makes sense. I am a layman. I really don't know much about your military industry!"
Yan Mingcheng heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, and he scratched his head again, looking embarrassed.
"I'm not talking about you! Old Yan, you are also a division commander. Although you are not an expert in military industry, you should also learn more about military industry.
In future wars, the role of weapons will become greater and greater. As a military commander who uses weapons, only if he is familiar with and understands the weapons in his hand, can he give full play to the performance of the weapons!
If a commander has no culture at all and no military knowledge at all, how can it be possible to command a modern army? This is unthinkable! "
Zhao Zhongyao saw that Yan Mingcheng had been following him for so long, and his military level seemed to have not improved much, so he said a few words about Yan Mingcheng.
Yan Mingcheng listened and smiled embarrassedly: "Haha, Zhongyao, you are criticizing and educating me! Okay, I am listening, I will definitely learn from you in the future, so I can become a super military worker like you soon. expert."
"Haha, the tone is not small, and a super military industry expert like me. You can be like an ordinary military industry expert." Zhao Zhongyao laughed at Yan Mingcheng in a joking tone.
"Hey, Zhongyao, don't say that. I have some credit for the successful experiment of this experimental missile just now!" Yan Mingcheng seemed to have thought of something again, and said with a smile while looking at Zhao Zhongyao.
"Yes, what credit do you do? I developed this'gyro'. The experimental missile was also designed by me. What credit do you have?" Zhao Zhongyao said with some dissatisfaction after hearing Yan Mingcheng's words.
"Zhongyao, don’t forget, you can develop a'gyro', it depends on me taking a small alarm clock for you to fix it! If it weren’t for me to get you a small alarm clock first, then How did you think of developing a'gyro'!"
Yan Mingcheng can really quibble, which makes Zhao Zhongyao really speechless.
"Huh! Okay! It seems you have done a lot! Well, you will do the rest. Let's develop the first medium-range ballistic missile!"
Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng and gave him an impossible task.
"Don't don't don't! Zhongyao, are you kidding me! What do I know! He also asked me to develop a ballistic missile, or let me develop a pistol, I can't develop it!"
When Yan Mingcheng saw that Zhao Zhongyao was going to give him such an arduous task, he would immediately refuse. Because this arduous task is an impossible task for Yan Mingcheng.
"That's not enough. Since you can't develop it, don't give me the credit. All the credit is mine." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng and made a joke that made Yan Mingcheng a little embarrassed.
"Yes! Yes! You are all in Zhongyao." Yan Mingcheng carefully accompanied the smiling face. "Haha! What are we talking about! The great task has just begun! Let's not waste time, I'm going back to design ballistic missiles quickly."
Zhao Zhongyao knows that he still has an arduous task! He has not designed the first real ballistic missile yet! This is the highlight of the missile development this time. Only when the drawing of this ballistic missile is designed, can we proceed to the next step.
"Okay, let's go, let's go back!" Yan Mingcheng is no longer joking with Zhao Zhongyao.
The two returned to the office area from the launch site.
Zhao Zhongyao went straight back to his office.
Yan Mingcheng was naturally too embarrassed to disturb Zhao Zhongyao any more, so he returned to his office.
A few days later, Zhao Zhongyao finally worked hard to design a drawing of an intermediate-range ballistic missile.
Then, I got it in the workshop and showed it to the relevant technicians, and immediately began to produce this heavyweight weapon.
A month later, China's first medium-range ballistic missile was finally successfully developed and produced in the workshop.
This day is a calm and good day.
It's time to launch a real ballistic missile.
This is an important moment because of the high cost of ballistic missiles. The first one will cost millions! Therefore, after the development is successful, it will be tested this time. It is impossible to carry out such a high-standard test over and over again!
Because this is an important moment. Of course the superiors also came to the launch site. We also need to see how China's heavyweight weapons show its great power.
Most of the leaders who came were leaders of the equipment department. Of course, Director Liu and Chief of Staff Yang are among them.
Now this heavyweight ballistic missile has been installed on the high-altitude launcher.
This one is thirty meters high and nearly one meter in diameter. Big guy weighing twenty-six tons. Round and pointed warhead, and four small tail wings. Standing upright on the launcher, it is obviously extremely mighty and domineering.
"Zhongyao, how far can this big guy hit!" Director Liu looked at such a big giant and wanted to know how far this missile could hit!
"Well, it's not too far. The longest range of this ballistic missile is 5,000 kilometers." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Director Liu confidently.
"Good guy, can launch five thousand kilometers! Can this shoot half of the Pacific Ocean!" Director Liu felt very surprised when he heard Zhao Zhongyao's words.
"Zhongyao, is it really that great!" Chief of Staff Yang was beside Director Liu. He also heard what Zhao Zhongyao said. He was also very surprised when he heard it.
"Yes, theoretically, of course it is possible. However, the farther the range is, the accuracy of hitting the target will decrease a lot. It should be said that the effective range of this ballistic missile is within four thousand kilometers. ."
The data Zhao Zhongyao said are of course theoretical data. What will happen in the end can only be tested with practice.
"Four thousand kilometers is far enough. Zhongyao, you are really good. If this thing hits the enemy, will it be able to hit the enemy far away without leaving the house?" Chief of Staff Yang looked at him. Said the big guy.
"Yes! We only use this small island, we can hit any enemy within four thousand kilometers!" Zhao Zhongyao said very confidently.
"Hey, Zhongyao, where is the target of the experiment launched this time! The attack range is so far, wouldn't it be nearby?" Chief of Staff Yang suddenly thought of this question.
"Of course, it won't be nearby. The target of our attack this time is a target that is three thousand kilometers away from this small island." Zhao Zhongyao said while looking at the distant sea.
"Ah, so far, what is that place!" When Director Liu heard that Zhao Zhongyao said that the target of this ballistic missile attack was 3,000 kilometers away, he wanted to know what place it was!
