Chapter 273 Atomic Missile Ten
"Well! The name you gave is really vivid! It seems that this 'Scud' will definitely be able to shoot down the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft!" Yan Mingcheng understood after listening to Zhao Zhongyao's explanation.
What does "Scud" mean? He suddenly gained a lot of confidence in the unimpressive anti-aircraft missile in front of him.
While Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng were still chatting about Scud missiles, they saw Factory Director Wu accompanying Chief of Staff Yang and Director Liu to the warehouse.
As soon as they saw the Scud missile in front of them, they all frowned.
Chief of Staff Yang thought to himself, how come this thing is smaller than the original one? The missiles developed last time did not bring down the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. Can this gadget bring down the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft?
!
Director Liu thought to himself, Zhao Zhongyao! The new weapon you developed does not look very good! The size has been reduced so much, how can the power be increased?
While the two of them were thinking, they walked to Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng.
"Hello, two leaders!" Yan Mingcheng quickly walked over and saluted the two leaders with a standard military salute.
"Chief of Staff Yang, Director Liu, do you think the new missile I developed is not very good?"
Zhao Zhongyao is a person who is good at observing faces. When he saw Chief of Staff Yang and Director Liu frowning when they saw the new anti-aircraft missile he developed, he knew that the two leaders were interested in him.
There are also some doubts about the capabilities of this new weapon!
It's no wonder that others are suspicious, because in the minds of ordinary people, they always feel that the size of a weapon is directly proportional to its ability.
This is especially true for the missile series of weapons. As long as it is a missile that can hit a long distance, it must be large in size.
For example, the intercontinental missile with the longest range can be said to be the giant in the missile family. It may be more than thirty meters tall, nearly two meters in diameter, and weighs more than one hundred tons. This kind of missile has been used in aerospace
The rocket is no different.
Before Zhao Zhongyao developed this new missile, everyone thought that if Zhao Zhongyao developed a more powerful missile, the head would be bigger than the original one! At least it should be similar.
!
But what everyone sees now is that the new anti-aircraft missile is half the size of the original anti-aircraft missile!
The body has shrunk by half. Can this power be increased? Of course, people who see this new missile will have doubts.
"Yes! Zhongyao! You said that you have reduced the size of the new missile by half compared to the original one. Could it be that its power can be doubled?"
Director Liu looked at the missile in front of him and said to Zhao Zhongyao with some disbelief.
"Yes! Zhongyao! Why is the new weapon you developed smaller than the original one? Can it still knock down the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft?"
After Chief of Staff Yang listened to Director Liu's words, he also looked at Zhao Zhongyao with suspicion and said.
"I know that everyone doesn't believe in the power of the new missile! I think the missile I developed looks very ordinary, and is much smaller than the original anti-aircraft missile! It certainly cannot hit the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
Come down!
But what I want to say is, and I’m not bragging, the anti-aircraft missile I developed can not only shoot down the enemy’s high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, but can also fly around the world!
In other words, the new missile I developed can actually be called a cruise missile! It can circle the earth in the sky without any problem!
What do you want me to say? There is a saying that goes, ‘You’ll know if it’s a mule or a horse when it comes out and run around’. You will know how good my new anti-aircraft missile is after just one launch!”
Zhao Zhongyao knows that no matter how much he brags, it is useless. It needs to be tested in actual combat to be the most convincing!
"What are you talking about? This missile of yours can circle the earth. Zhongyao! Are you exaggerating? There are such weapons! Even the largest passenger plane currently manufactured by mankind
, it’s also impossible to fly around the earth without refueling!”
When Director Liu heard Zhao Zhongyao bragging about the anti-aircraft missiles he had developed, he became even more disbelieving and felt that Zhao Zhongyao was just bragging!
"Zhongyao! Director Liu is right! You said that the missile you developed can fly far, let alone circle the earth! Aren't you talking nonsense!"
When Chief of Staff Yang heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, he became a little angry! It felt like how could Zhao Zhongyao brag so unreasonably in front of their two leaders!
It must be said that Zhao Zhongyao is not a braggart! How come today, this boy is bragging vigorously in front of their two leaders!
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Chief of Staff Yang and Director Liu shook their heads. They really didn't understand. When did Zhao Zhongyao, who had always been low-key, learn to brag! And the bragging was far-fetched!
"Two leaders, you may not know that the new missile I am developing now uses an atomic engine, which is much more powerful than the previous ordinary engine! And it can continue to work, just like the previous Earth Tyrant.
It’s almost the same as a tank or a Gazelle gunship!”
Seeing that the two leaders didn't believe it, Zhao Zhongyao had no choice but to explain the working principle of his newly developed anti-aircraft missile.
"Oh! It's an atomic engine! Could it be that your missile can fly around the world like this?" After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Director Liu felt that there was some truth to it, but he still responded to Zhao Zhongyao's previous boast,
Some don't quite believe it.
"Chief of Staff Yang, Director Liu, if you say I'm bragging, then I have nothing to object to. Anyway, if you don't believe it, then what can I do? As I said just now, if you don't believe it, then I can only
A practical exercise was conducted.
At that time, whether my missile is powerful or not will be known as soon as it is launched. Now, no matter how much we debate, it seems to be meaningless!"
Zhao Zhongyao knows that facts speak louder than words. The more he talks about how powerful the missiles he developed are, the two leaders just think that he has learned to brag!
Only by conducting an actual combat exercise can the leaders be silenced, and they have to believe that the anti-aircraft missiles I developed are absolutely unique and the most advanced weapons in the world!
"Then how are you going to conduct the exercise? Do you really want your missile to fly around the world?" Chief of Staff Yang said somewhat unconvinced after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said.
"How is this possible! Flying around the world is naturally impossible to conduct experiments. Besides, the purpose of developing this new type of anti-aircraft missile does not seem to be to fly around the world!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at the two leaders and argued again.
One sentence.
"Then what you mean is to have a model of a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft hanging under a gazelle helicopter gunship like last time, and then you use missiles to shoot." Chief of Staff Yang thought. Since we want to conduct live ammunition
The shooting experiment can only be like the last time!
"No! Chief of Staff Yang, the Oryx armed helicopter cannot fly fast enough. It is far from the speed of the enemy's newly developed high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft this time! How can this prove that anti-aircraft missiles like mine can catch up with the enemy's high-altitude
Where’s the reconnaissance plane!”
Zhao Zhongyao knows that if he uses the original method to conduct the test, it will have no effect at all. There is no way to prove that the newly developed anti-aircraft missiles he has developed this time are much more powerful than the original anti-aircraft missiles!
"Then how are you going to conduct actual combat exercises?" Chief of Staff Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked. "I think so. I can use my newly developed anti-aircraft missiles to attack the anti-aircraft missiles I developed before."
Zhao Zhongyao has long thought about the method of actual combat exercises. He wants to use the new anti-aircraft missiles he developed this time to attack the anti-aircraft missiles developed before!
This is a bold actual combat exercise method. Using missiles to chase missiles is a very spectacular and amazing exercise scene!
"What are you talking about? Use your newly developed anti-aircraft missile to chase the previously developed anti-aircraft missile. Is this--is--possible! The missiles are so fast. Even if the new anti-aircraft missile you developed is faster than the previous one,
The missile flies faster, but it is also very difficult for it to catch up with the original missile and successfully destroy it!"
After Chief of Staff Yang heard the actual combat method described by Zhao Zhongyao, he felt that it was a bit unreliable! This method of training has little chance of success!
"Yes! Zhongyao! The drill method you mentioned is a bit scary! How to conduct such a dangerous practical experiment! I don't even know where such extremely dangerous practical exercises can be carried out!"
Director Liu was also shocked when he heard the drill method described by Zhao Zhongyao! This kind of drill method is really scary!
Because as long as it is on land, there will be people living there. Even in the largest shooting range in the army, it is difficult to conduct such actual combat experiments!
Because the missile is very fast, even if the shooting range is very large, it is only a few dozen kilometers in radius.
This kind of missile flies very fast, dozens of kilometers, and may fly over in less than a minute.
If something went wrong during the actual combat exercise and the two missiles did not meet each other but flew outside the shooting range separately, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Director Liu, Chief of Staff Yang, I have thought about this a long time ago. You are right. It is difficult to conduct such actual combat exercises on land. Even at the largest shooting range in the army, such actual combat exercises are impossible.
The speed of the anti-aircraft missile I developed exceeds Mach 3, which is more than a thousand meters per second and reaches a speed of more than 3,600 kilometers per hour. It flies more than 60 kilometers every minute.
The largest shooting range in our army is only over 30 kilometers in radius. If the new missiles I developed are to be used for actual combat exercises at the shooting range, they may fly without a trace in the blink of an eye!
So, I have already thought about where this exercise should be."
Zhao Zhongyao had already thought about it, but he deliberately kept it secret and didn't say it in one breath!
"Oh, where is it?" Chief of Staff Yang and Director Liu heard this, and they both asked again in unison.
"Mushroom Island!" Zhao Zhongyao said three words with certainty.
"Mushroom Island!" After hearing this, Chief of Staff Yang and Director Liu repeated these three words Zhao Zhongyao said in surprise.
"Yes! Our Jianghai City is a coastal city. There is a small island called Mushroom Island on the east coast of our Jianghai City! The largest uranium mine with the highest content in our country that I discovered before is right there!
"
There are three reasons why Zhao Zhongyao wanted to conduct this actual combat exercise on this small island.
First, this actual combat exercise can be said to be an extremely dangerous exercise. It cannot be carried out in the exercise range on land. Since it cannot be carried out on land, we can only find a place at sea.
Second, the sea is very open and has a wide field of vision. It is a perfect place to conduct missile interception experiments. Don’t worry, the missiles will fly to the land! But the sea is just a piece of sea water. If there is no place to stay, then
How to place the missile on the sea! Therefore, Zhao Zhongyao thought of Mushroom Island. The missile can be placed on it and then launched over the sea. Then there will be no obstacles and dangers.
Also, the reason why Zhao Zhongyao chose Mushroom Island is inseparable from the fact that he discovered uranium mines here. Otherwise, there are many small islands in the sea, why would it have to be on this small island!
The new missile he developed this time uses uranium ore with high natural purity mined from this small island. Now, it would not be too great to put his newly developed atomic missile on this small island for actual combat exercises.
Does it make sense?
Thirdly, there is one more thing, which is also very important. Because there are several small island countries in the East China Sea of China. They are all pro-M countries and have always liked to be enemies of China! This time it will be held in the East China Sea.
An unprecedented actual missile interception exercise will definitely have a great deterrent effect on their leaders. They may not dare to harass China's territory and territorial waters in the East China Sea again in the future!
It is precisely because of the above three factors that Zhao Zhongyao decided to conduct this practical missile interception exercise on Mushroom Island on the East China Sea!
"Oh, I understand. The atomic missile you developed this time uses the natural uranium ore on this island! Then, you put the atomic missile here for actual combat exercises. That is really meaningful!"
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Director Liu already understood why Zhao Zhongyao did what he did. It turned out that Zhao Zhongyao was thinking very far!
"Yeah! Zhongyao! You said well, let's conduct actual combat exercises of atomic missiles on Mushroom Island. This will also allow several small island countries in the East China Sea to see the power of our new military weapons!" (To be completed!)
