Episode 1084 Cluster Bomb
"Xiao Liu, although many evidences show that this is the case, we are pursuing a rigorous and responsible attitude towards our design, so we cannot make comments at the moment. If there is no problem with this experiment, it means that it is the problem that Mr. Du said. Of course, we still produced two test samples according to the original design..." Liang Sili saw that Liu Yijiu looked bad, and Du Zhongkun was extremely embarrassed.
Come out and speak quickly.
Regarding the missile failure problem, they have been checking for a long time, and traced various technical data and document records, but found no problems. The design has been simulated many times by computer, so there is no problem.
Therefore, even if they think it is the cause, they can only answer this way without strong evidence.
"That's it! Mr. Du, I'm sorry. I'm too anxious and didn't understand the situation clearly." Since it was my fault, Liu Yijiu apologized without hesitation.
Du Zhongkun shook his head and signaled that there was nothing.
There is indeed no uncertain word for scientific and technological research in the field of national defense and military industry. This will have very serious consequences for the entire project.
Everyone is a national defense science and technology worker, and can understand and understand.
"Since there is no problem, we will let them load the vehicle as soon as possible. Director Wang has done the dispatch work. He will set off tonight and go to the northwest. Even if it is the fastest, it will take a week. Xiao Liu, do you think we will wait for us to go there later or go there early?" Liang Sili asked Liu Yijiu.
These missiles are very similar to the Russian ss-23 spiders, especially in their appearance, which is short and thick and has a pointed top, which is basically no difference.
There are also great differences when it comes to different things. The ss-23's missile is 7.5 meters long, 0.89 meters in diameter, a total weight of 4360kg, a range of 500km, and it only uses medium/terminal guidance radar guidance, with an accuracy of 350 meters in circumferential radius. It can be equipped with conventional high-explosive warheads and nuclear warheads. This is much better than the Scud, but its length is 3.6 meters shorter than the Scud, and its range is increased by 500 kilometers from the original 300 kilometers, which is a 60% range. At the same time, it can also carry 600~1,000 kilogram warheads.
For such performance, it is already very good without more precise guidance technology within satellite guidance.
However, this ground-to-ground tactical missile of the Ninth Academy this time has higher design requirements than that of spiders.
"In terms of performance, it needs to be tested to clearly see how much different from our design requirements. Moreover, the whole process must be monitored this time, so I think you'd better go through it first and do all kinds of preparations. There should be no more omissions." Liu Yijiu hopes that Du Zhongkun and Liang Sili will go there first.
Various preparations need to be inspected by them.
"Okay, after the shipment here, we will fly there tomorrow." Du Zhongkun nodded. Then he asked Liu Yijiu, "Xiao Liu, although our missile can choose to use cloud-explosive missile warheads or conventional warheads, I think the power of this warhead is not too strong in terms of the requirements of tactical missiles. If it is used to deal with armored clusters on a large scale, the effect of this warhead will not be too high..."
The warhead determines the power of the missile.
For this kind of missile, the Soviet Union was equipped with many types of warheads, nuclear warheads, conventional high-explosion warheads, and even specially studied a powerful letter bomb!
In China, however, it does not.
Nuclear warheads don't need to be considered at all. If the war occurs in Chinese territory, they will basically not be used.
There are conventional warheads, and there are also cloud bombs, but as Du Zhongkun said, if it attacks armored clusters, the effect will definitely not be too ideal.
"This was proposed by Commander Li Yunlong. Our Blue Army mainly develops various information forces, not only to deal with the enemy's information forces, but also to deal with huge armored forces..." The biggest threat to the Chinese Army is still the Soviet Union.
The mechanized Soviet troops made the whole world tremble.
Therefore, when designing this tactical missile for the army, priority should be given to dealing with the huge armored clusters of the Soviets that scared the world.
"What if we use cluster bombs on the warhead?" Liu Yijiu proposed cluster bombs a long time ago. This thing will be used as warheads in the future, and it will perform very well.
"Cluster bomb? This thing is not very powerful, right?" Du Zhongkun really didn't know this. The Ninth Academy basically had no research on this. Although Liu Yijiu had proposed it, they believed that it was enough to have the first conventional bomb under nuclear weapons such as the Cloud Explosion Bomb.
District 9 has no interest in research on this area.
Their main purpose is to study cloud bombs and more powerful conventional bombs.
"This matter has to be discussed with the Ninth District. Cloud explosion bombs are not omnipotent unless they can be used intensively on a large scale. However, for various equipment, if it is not in the explosion center, it is basically difficult to achieve a good effect." Liu Yijiu sighed.
The power of cluster bombs will not be paid attention to by the United States until the United States attacks Iraq. China's flowering bombs hundreds of years ago are also the originator of this. The problem is that China's research in this area is not too advanced due to basic technology and other issues.
It is rare to use missiles.
China is far behind the world's powers in the development of conventional bombs.
The Ninth Hospital needs another project, and the funds consumed will not be less.
"What are you waiting for? Anyway, we still have a lot of time now. Let's just settle it today." Du Zhongkun knew that what Liu Yijiu said would definitely not be without power.
Liu Yijiu had no choice but to follow him toward the eighth district.
District 8 is still confidential until now, which is the smallest number of people in the entire Ninth Hospital.
Liu Yijiu has not yet figured out why this place is so confidential. He asked Wang Shunyi many times, but he used ammunition or something too dangerous to fool him.
He was not very interested in these secrets, as long as District 8 could study the ammunition he wanted according to his requirements.
Research on various special gun bullets, artillery shells, and even missile warheads are all here. Although it is the smallest area, there are thousands of researchers, and more than three thousand people in the production workshop.
The Ninth Hospital has been expanding rapidly over the years.
Originally, there were a lot of open space here, but it had begun to decrease dramatically. A large number of light steel structure factories were established, and Liu Yijiu had not even come here for a long time.
"Director Liu, why have you had time to come? Is there any important task?" Liang Kun was very surprised by Liu Yijiu's arrival.
These things are connected with him by project managers. It is definitely not a trivial matter to be able to alarm Liu Yijiu.
Now Liu Yijiu is not the young man who came over to find them to get special sniper bombs in person.
"We came here this time mainly because we hope that District 8 will help to study a new warhead to attack enemy armored clusters, army assembly sites and other cluster targets, as well as large-scale targets such as airport runways..." Du Zhongkun immediately raised the request.
Looking at Liu Yijiu, Liang Kun couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he saw him staring at him with a smile.
When Liu Yijiu took office, he proposed some technical project pre-research work for District 8.
However, the eighth zone has always been in a row, with a shortage of personnel, from bullets to shells, to rockets and even missile warheads, they are responsible for the high-performance development.
They have no research on this kind of mother-child bomb that is not favored.
"Director Liu, we..." Liang Kun explained awkwardly for Liu Yijiu to get angry.
Liu Yijiu shook his hand, smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was no change in his face, and he said to Liang Kun calmly, "Director Liang, this is nothing. Moreover, the research task this time will not be too heavy, and there is sufficient guarantee in time."
"How about this, I'll gather the relevant technicians and let's hold a meeting to discuss?" Liang Kun was relieved when he heard Liu Yijiu say this.
For such projects, there must be discussions with relevant technicians.
The mother-child bomb used in missiles is still very different from cluster bombs.
Liu Yijiu did not have any information about this technology from the Soviet Union, and even countries around the world kept it confidential in this regard. China started research on this aspect after introducing the bl-755 aeronautical cluster bomb technology from the UK in 1972.
"Director Liu, we don't have any technical reserves in this regard. If we want to study, it will not be able to complete it in a short time. Moreover, it is very difficult to explore and research without a foundation or even without the personnel who understand this technology..."
After Liu Yijiu explained his goals to the technicians in District 8, someone put forward opinions.
"This is Zhao Feng. He has been studying cluster bombs for a while before and wants to use this on our 336 rocket..." Seeing Liu Yijiu frowned, Liang Kun quickly explained.
"Mr. Zhao, we have indeed considered the difficulties in this regard. However, cluster bombs are not only effective with aviation release. The tactical missiles we are currently studying require a more powerful warhead to attack the enemy's biological forces and armored clusters. High-explosive bombs and cloud-explosive bombs. If there is no way to use them on a large scale and intensive basis, you will know what the effect will be..." Liu Yijiu felt a little comforted.
It is indeed very difficult to do well in this regard.
"In addition, regarding the technical foundation, we can find Factory 627. They introduced the BL-755 aviation anti-tank cluster bomb from the UK. After digestion and absorption, domestic models have been produced for several generations for so many years..." The 627 belongs to the Ministry of Weapons Industry and does not have the same system as them.
But this is not a problem.
"They won't agree to give us technology at all. I've been looking for them before." Zhao Feng shook his head.
So what about the brother units? It is related to everyone’s small treasury. It is not easy to obtain technology.
"This is not a problem. At that time, I will find a way. I will ask a few technicians from them to come to speed up our research progress." Liu Yijiu directly blocked this topic.
He knew very clearly about these aspects.
Factory 627 mainly produces armored vehicles. In recent years, the conflict between the Ninth Court and the Ninth Court has been reduced due to the reduction in production tasks of armored vehicles.
Liu Yijiu has always hoped to solve this problem with him.
It just so happens that this is an opportunity now.
"However, we must first understand what kind of cluster bomb we need to study and what is the function of our warhead..." Du Zhongkun also put forward his own opinions.
The range, hit accuracy of the missiles, these are their business.
However, the power of the missile needs to be reflected in the warhead.
"Cluster bombs are mainly used for anti-armor!" Zhao Feng said with a frown.
He knew that Liu Yijiu had come, and this project was definitely not that easy.
"I hope that the warheads we installed on missiles can not only be able to counter-armor, but also effectively kill infantry soldiers, and even deal with large-scale targets such as airport runways..." Liang Kun's face turned dark when he heard this.
Anti-armor and killing are two different bombs.
"This is simply impossible! At least, our technical conditions and reserves cannot reach this level at present." Liang Kun immediately objected.
It is easy to do something, and you can achieve results quickly.
Moreover, the research tasks in District 8 are relatively heavy, and they don’t have much energy at all. Each of them is responsible for several projects.
"No matter how difficult the technology is, I hope we can have it. If we can make a breakthrough in this, our graphite fiber bombs and cloud explosion bombs can be improved by a step. The warhead of the 336 rocket artillery shell is actually considered to be this technology, but we have not upgraded this technology from the beginning. There are only a few sub-bombs in the warhead of more than 200 kilograms, which has a great limitation on the power of the shells..." Liu Yijiu looked at Liang Kun and did not criticize him.
This is the study of national defense technology, and the difficulties are obvious.
However, there are difficulties, and there are no difficulties to be better.
"The Americans' stone-eye aircraft sub-coils are loaded with 247 dual-purpose sub-coils, each weighing 0.63 kilograms. When thrown at a height of 150 meters, they can kill targets within 5,000 square meters. They can make them out, why can't we make them out? If they can't make them out, what will we use to resist the Americans if we fight again in the future?" Liu Yijiu's tone became a little stern.
