Xiao Chongqing took Yixian and other seniors to say goodbye to Xu Xingchen to the exercise venue, and Xu Xingchen went to the scientific research center of the Admiral's Mansion.

The scientific research center in the Shiniang Military Port is very different from the laboratories on Earth, and is more like a design office than the laboratory.

There are no various experimental instruments in the room, only three sets of integrated special scientific research equipment similar to design workstation computers.

After Xu Xingchen chose to upgrade, the use of these computer-like scientific research equipment is also very close to the personal workstation computers on the earth.

Xu Xingchen sat down in front of a set of scientific research equipment, tapped the control interface with his right hand, and the three large screens on the table immediately lit up.

On the left and right screen, there is a structural diagram of a set of destroyer main guns, and on the right screen, there is a structural diagram of a set of air alert radars.

On the middle screen are two dynamic progress bars from left to right, with simple text descriptions above and below the progress bar.

The two tasks currently being carried out by the scientific research center are the Type 76 dual 130mm naval gun and the Type 515 air-to-air alert radar, which are expected to be completed tomorrow dawn.

According to the system description, the scientific research system can currently perform two tasks at the same time. If placed in the strategy game, there are two scientific research slots.

After Xu Xingchen sets up scientific research tasks, the project will automatically advance at a constant speed, and the speed of advancement is related to the scale of his Admiral's Mansion.

If specialized personnel are arranged to directly undertake specific scientific research work, it is possible to significantly increase the speed of scientific research.

The specific improvement provided by scientific researchers is related to the workload completed by scientific researchers themselves, so it is of course useless to stumble.

Now there are no scientific researchers in the Admiral's Office, so Xu Xingchen can only let the system run by himself to scan relatively early equipment. The speed is basically enough now.

The purpose of Xu Xingchen coming today is to modify the Seahawk-1 Armor missile to obtain the ability to break through and destroy all battleships.

The Seahawk-1 A missile and the supporting radar were scanned in the morning and corresponding drawings were generated and stored in the drawing library of the scientific research system.

Xu Xingchen followed the prompts to find the missile's drawing and clicked on it. The detailed three-dimensional perspective structure diagram of the Seahawk-1-A missile was displayed on the large screen in front of Xu Xingchen.

The overall structure of the Seahawk missile is the same as most missiles, and the interior can be roughly divided into four parts: seeker, warhead, fuel compartment, and engine.

The seeker is the most precise and complex part of the missile body. Complex functional components such as radar, communication, computing, flight control, etc. are basically here.

The structure of the latter three parts is relatively simple. The warhead is a bomb, the fuel compartment is the fuel tank, and the engine is the engine.

These early missiles, in terms of appearance and structure, look like a small aircraft, but in fact they are indeed a compact disposable aircraft.

The way missiles attack targets is very similar to the form of Kamikaze aircraft. The main source of attack capabilities is not the aircraft itself, but the bombs carried by the aircraft.

The bomb on the missile is uniformly called the "warhead". It is like the aviation bombs carried by the aircraft, with various types of functions and can be replaced.

In the early days, Styx missiles were used as "energy-piercing armor-blasting warheads", but in actual combat, they found that the damage effect of this warhead was not good, so they were gradually replaced with a semi-piercing warhead.

This so-called "half-armor-piercing warhead" is not the usual bullet in the World War II era, and "half-armor-piercing" does not mean that the armor-piercing ability is halved.

In fact, it should be a "compound armor-piercing high-explosion warhead composed of a small and a half armor-piercing warhead plus a large and a half high-explosion warhead", referred to as the "half-piercing high-explosion warhead".

The front of the warhead is a hard pointed warhead with a certain armor-piercing ability, and the second half is an iron bomb. The overall loading ratio of the warhead exceeds 30% or even 50%.

The first half smashes through the target hull, and the second half follows into the inside of the hull and explodes, causing a lot of damage.

This type of warhead is far more lethal against unarmored and low-armored warships than the battleship artillery in World War II because its charges start with hundreds of kilograms, while the largest high-explosive bomb loading of the naval gun is only sixty or seventy kilograms.

The main body of Xiao Chongqing is a model that was put into service in the early 1980s, and the missile it carries is also the later model of "Sea Eagle-1A".

The warhead of the Seahawk-1 Armored Missile uses this kind of "semi-armored warhead". The warhead weighs 513 kilograms and the charge is about 240 kilograms.

With the continuous development of related technologies, a new type of "semi-armor-piercing energy-gathering warhead" appeared later.

While the rear half of this warhead explodes, it will fire many melted metal jets around, which is equivalent to a dozen anti-tank missiles scattering flowers to the surroundings.

A simple energy-gathering anti-tank warhead has certainly limited lethality to warships. Burning eyes on the hull can't even destroy a cabin.

However, the warhead of this anti-ship missile first breaks through the armor, enters the hull, and then explodes in high explosion, and finally the energy-concentrating part sprays metal jets towards the surroundings...

This kind of warhead was later further optimized, something called the "semi-armor-piercing self-forged and fragmented warhead".

The copper that originally formed a metal jet no longer melted, but softened and deformed with the help of the explosion's energy. Through a blow molding process, a large number of "sub-bombs" were instantly created.

The specific strike effect is somewhat similar to a "cluster bomb", which can smash everyone and things around. The latest anti-ship missiles are basically this kind of warhead.

(Cluster bombs are considered too cruel. More than a hundred countries have signed bans at the United Nations, but do not include major producers such as the United States, Russia, China, and Israel...)

The concepts of these warheads are the same, which is to combine multiple different types of strike methods to expand the damage effect as much as possible.

Compared with these modern and cruel things, the tradition of the World War II era was as naive as the knives and high-explosion bombs...

Finally, according to the calculations of scientific research equipment, if we want to develop the "semi-armor-piercing self-forging and fragmented warhead" in later generations from scratch, it will take a little more time.

Xu Xingchen's time is relatively tight, and metal jets and self-forging fragments should not be very useful to deal with ship girls, as there is no one in their stomachs.

Xu Xingchen temporarily gave up these long-term goals and used the most basic semi-armor-piercing warhead as the basis to transform it into a new type of warhead with stronger armor-piercing capabilities.

The content of this scientific research project is actually to increase the proportion of armor-piercing parts of the original warhead, and at the same time to repair the overall appearance to make a shape that is more suitable for armor-piercing.

The overall scientific research difficulty is very low. After using the simulation function of scientific research equipment and a few simple calculations, Xu Xingchen obtained the parameters of two different levels of warheads.

Xu Xingchen temporarily named it: "Type A Armor Piercing Warhead" and "Type B Armor Piercing Warhead".

A semi-armor-piercing warhead: Keep the total weight of the original warhead of 513 kg unchanged, increase the weight of the armor-piercing part to 350 kg, and limit the diameter to 240 mm.

Carrying with the Seahawk-1 Armor missile, it takes high-altitude ballistic dive attacks, with a speed of about 340 meters per second, and can penetrate the horizontal armor of all new battleships outside Yamato.

At this time, the weight of the high-explosion part is 163 kg, and the charge can be more than 125 kg, which is more than twice the Yamato high-explosion bomb charge (59 kg).

After replacing the A warhead, the total weight of the Seahawk-1 A missile remains unchanged, and the aerodynamic shape does not need to be changed. The shape of the fuel tank is slightly adjusted to adapt to the new warhead shape.

Type B semi-armored warhead: The total weight of the warhead is increased to 750 kg, the weight of the armored warhead is 500 kg, and the diameter is also limited to 240 mm.

Attacking in the same way ensures horizontal defenses that penetrate all battleships, including 270mm armor on the top of the thickest turret on the Yamato deck.

At this time, the weight of the high-explosion part is 250 kilograms, and the charge can be 190 kilograms, which is more than three times the loading of the Yamato high-explosion bomb.

After replacing the Type B warhead, the total weight of the missile is increased by 237 kg. It is necessary to slightly adjust the wing position and angle, and at the same time adjust the shape of the fuel tank, so that the maximum range is slightly reduced.

Through three-dimensional graphics, the scientific research equipment directly displays the size, structure, and the effect after the missile is replaced very intuitively.

The biggest feature of these two 240mm warheads is that they are much longer than ordinary 240mm naval shells.

The warhead of Type A is half longer than the shell, and Type B is directly more than twice the shell. It is a metal pillar with a diameter of 24 cm and a height of 170 cm.

Because under the same conditions, the smaller the diameter of the shell, the stronger the armor-piercing ability, and tank armor-piercing shells will directly become "long pole steel nails".

However, the "steel nails" of the tank are not as thick as the wrist, while the missile warhead caliber is at the level of naval guns, which is equivalent to a shell that has been stretched twice as long, and the charge volume is even higher.

The shape of the shell will affect the flight attitude, so traditional armor-piercing shells cannot be made too long, and the proportion of length to caliber is mostly about 3 to 4 times.

In order to improve structural strength, the proportion of the naval gun armor-piercing shells is extremely low, and the subsequent destructive power is relatively limited. If you want to sink a battleship, you basically have to rely on a death to explode.

Since the missile's warhead does not need to control its own flight attitude, the ratio of length to diameter can be greatly relaxed, reaching 7 to 8 times or even more.

A missile is a small aircraft, and it is also hung with one warhead, and it is also hung with two warheads. The combination of warheads is the most basic capability of missiles, just string them together.

The warheads are arranged longitudinally in the center of the missile, and other equipment and fuel tanks are arranged around the warhead. The missile length is more than 6 meters, and the warhead length can account for half.

When the missile hits the target, the surrounding radar, communications, control equipment, and fragile components such as mailboxes will directly scatter in the collision.
