Chapter 312: Combined Anti-Ship Missile Imitation

Lou Xiao'e pointed at the jar of malted milk and said, "This malted milk, too. My son Zhendong is busy with work and doesn't have time to eat it. It looks like it's going to go bad after I opened it. If you don't mind, you can keep it."

Dislike? You must be kidding.

Even though this malted milk has been opened, these days anyone who can give you two spoonfuls of it is considered a good friend. This is a whole can!

Moreover, looking at Jia Zhang and then at the two children, he was almost rushing up to scoop two spoonfuls.

Qin Huairu did not struggle any more. There was no point in doing this in front of Director Gao's family. She was not alone. She had an old man, two young children, and another one in her belly.

Director Gao's family has no other intentions in treating my family like this. It's just that they are of high character and care about the masses. They see the difficulties faced by my family, young and old. In addition, my deceased husband had a good relationship with them when he was alive, so they are taking care of my family.

Fortunately, Director Gao's family are all good people, and his wife is also a helpful person. This is what they call good people being rewarded.

Qin Huairu took it with a grateful look on her face: "Xiao'e, I really don't know how to thank you and Director Gao, look at this..."

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "Sister Jia, let's not talk about this. Your health is the most important thing. Well, Zhendong and I have something else to do. You guys take your time eating."

Watching Lou Xiao'e walking towards the front yard, Qin Huairu was thinking in her mind, she wondered when Director Gao would have a baby, so she would make something for the child and send it to him. Although the gift was small, it was a token of her thoughtfulness.

Gao Zhendong and his wife each delivered their things and happily rode away on their bikes for a romantic getaway.

The couple walked out of the courtyard and entered the back yard. They heard a lot of rustling in the back room, and the sound of doors opening and closing was very lively for a while.

At a research institute on the seashore, Su Weihua is attending a meeting. Although he is beginning to show his talents, he is not yet at the level where he can take on responsibilities independently.

However, today's meeting, or rather the impromptu discussion, is somewhat related to him.

The person who is speaking now is the chief designer of the anti-ship missile model and also the superior of Su Weihua's superior Qi Gong.

"A few months ago, after a test launch, our imitation missile finally completed its entire flight. The comrades from the Institute of Missile Research and the Third Steel Rolling Plant in Beijing also made great contributions to this. We would like to thank them."

If you are not someone who knows the inside story, you would never imagine that the force exerted by the Third Rolling Mill had nothing to do with steel or anything like that, but instead helped solve the problem of the altimeter's accuracy.

"After reporting and communicating with the Defense Work Committee and relevant units, all parties decided to put the work of imitating the anti-ship missiles of the old Russians in the north on the agenda."

If before we were assembling the missiles provided by the Russians while trying to imitate them, now the imitation work has officially become a regular job.

The main reason for this decision, in addition to the changes in bilateral relations that led to the severance of anti-ship missile import channels, is that we have suffered enough losses from buying weapons. The production initiative of this type of main battle weapons must be in our own hands.

The international production of weapons during the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation, as well as the tightening of belts to buy weapons and fight the war of nation-building after liberation, were all things that any leader with a conscience could not tolerate.

Hearing the chief designer's words, everyone couldn't help but get excited. The shoe has finally dropped and they can finally do it themselves.

The telemetry missile that successfully completed its flight course undoubtedly strengthened everyone's confidence.

If you can fly far enough, then half of the problem is solved. The only thing left is how to hit the target accurately.

"After discussing with the head of the engine department, we decided to change the engine based on the existing imitation telemetry missile!"

This was originally the path taken by the officially finalized "Zhengxian No. 1" anti-ship ballistic missile. After all, the alcohol that the Russians used was really not suitable for use on our side. We couldn't finish drinking it. We really couldn't finish drinking it.

But at this time, this decision still surprised everyone.

Although the No. 3 telemetry bomb that has completed its flight uses kerosene, if it is to be officially copied, in order to increase the success rate of the copy, it is safer to copy it completely. Did they really change the fuel?
You should know that up to now, only one Type 3 telemetry bomb has been successfully launched. If the number increases, no one knows whether there will be problems with kerosene fuel.

"Boss, isn't this a step too big? Wouldn't it be better to ensure the overall progress of the whole projectile first?"

The comrade who said this is not afraid of difficulties, but is practical and wants to solve the problem of "whether or not" as soon as possible.

The chief designer shook his head and said: "We have analyzed and compared, and alcohol is really not suitable. Not to mention anything else, the range is reduced by 15% to 20%. This is a waste of projectile weight that is visible to the naked eye." Speaking of wasting tonnage, San Dezi is no longer sleepy.

However, there was no oil paper bag from Sandezi, and no one thought about it. Instead, they raised suggestions and questions: "There are some differences between alcohol and kerosene. Is it too late to make the current kerosene engine stable? Now our anti-ship missiles are out of stock. The modification of large ships and the assault of small boats are all waiting to be used."

The "big ships" mentioned here refer to the four Type 55 artillery destroyers received from the Russians in 4. They were the Navy's first generation of "Four Heavenly Kings". In fact, they were just four ordinary destroyers, but in the Navy at that time, they were already the first-class main combat forces.

If someone told people at that time that in just 60 years we would have more than four "little trains" of such great power, even those with the most revolutionary optimism would say that he was bragging.

Therefore, everyone is eager to modify the missile immediately. Compared with foreign anti-ship missiles, this missile is not backward at present. If the modification can be successful, the technical level of our anti-ship main battle weapon will catch up with the international technical level in one fell swoop.

The chief designer said: "No problem. The engine designs of kerosene and alcohol are very similar. The biggest difference is the coking rate. Kerosene cokes more seriously than alcohol after combustion. But since we have identified this problem, we will deal with it in a targeted manner in the design. And from the actual requirements of our missile, this problem does not have a big impact."

For a one-time use, and to hit something dozens of kilometers away, this problem really doesn't have much impact. Hasn't the No. 3 telemetry missile already been successful?

Next, the chief designer said another decision, which completely dispelled everyone's concerns: "In addition, after discussion, it was decided to cancel the imitation of shore-to-ship missiles, combine the anti-ship missiles into one, and concentrate resources to solve the problem of ship-to-ship missiles. After the shore-to-ship missiles and other ship-to-ship missiles are successful, they will land from the sea."

In fact, the first two anti-ship missiles introduced from the Russians were the 542 shore-to-ship missile and the 544 ship-to-ship missile. The 544 is the SS-N-2/P-15 "Styx" that is familiar to military fans. This thing is the world's record holder for the first kill of anti-ship missiles.

The 542 is interesting. It is the first generation of anti-ship missiles of the Russians. Its design is very retro and its performance at that time can only be called average.

How retro is it? If 544 is like a small plane, but the wing sweep angle is much larger, then 542 is a small plane. Imagine it as a smaller unmanned J-5 fighter.

The wingspan of this thing (note, not the length) is as high as 4.6 meters!
Everyone understands this decision. It is undoubtedly a waste of resources to develop two imitation missiles with similar performance at the same time. As long as the ship-to-ship missile is successful, it will be very easy to land. There is no need to develop two sets of things.

Therefore, it is an inevitable choice to keep the 544 with better aerodynamic shape and potential for imitation. After all, the shape of the 544 makes it easy to get on board a ship, a boat, or ashore, but the appearance of the 542 basically cuts off the possibility of getting on board a ship, let alone a boat.

The biggest advantage of 542 is its range, but given the conditions of our army, it cannot be used. Moreover, the technical level of this thing itself determines that it is not very accurate, and the range of 80km is even more useless.

"That's great. This way we can concentrate our strength and have a better chance of replicating 544."

"If the two groups are combined into one, I don't believe there will be any problems with switching from alcohol to coal."

The chief designer smiled and said, "Now you all know where our confidence in completely changing from alcohol to kerosene in the first stage came from. In addition to the success of the No. 3 telemetry bomb, there is also more abundant technical strength brought by more scientific research and decision-making."

Judging from the situation of the Type 50 telemetry missile, there is no major problem with the power system, and there is even the possibility of further tapping its potential, such as further increasing the range to km.

The main problem now is how to hit accurately.

The original 544 missile could be considered a very excellent missile at that time, otherwise it would not have scored the first goal in the Middle East.

Interestingly, many of the Russian weapons were not created by themselves.

For example, the first anti-ship missile kill mentioned above was made by the Pharaohs using their P-15 in the Middle East in 1967.

The world's first air defense missile kill was achieved by our S-75 in 1959.

Although Sui Zong's missile omnipotence theory caused a lot of jokes, at that time, the "first sight kill" of various Russian missiles was really amazing. However, due to the technical reasons at that time, it was very easy to be targeted after the first sight kill, and then the technology had to be upgraded.

Taking air defense missiles as an example, basically every time we shoot down a U-2, it represents an upgrade in the electronic confrontation techniques and tactics of both sides. Although we are poor and have a weak technical foundation, when it comes to "complex electromagnetic environment", we really have a king bomb at the beginning, at least the record is an iron fact.

"Then the pressure is now on Engineer Qi. You are responsible for the electronic system. You have hit the target far enough. The rest depends on how accurate you are." The chief engineer said half-jokingly.

Engineer Qi was lost in his own thoughts. When he heard the chief engineer's words, he came to his senses: "Ah, that's no problem. We can still obtain the guidance system of the 544 missile with our technical capabilities."
