Wesley was very surprised when he saw the test missile they developed disintegrated in the air. He didn't understand why the missile they worked so hard to develop had such a result.

"Wesley, there must be something wrong with the missile's warhead. Didn't you just see that the missile's warhead caught fire first?"

After carefully recalling the scene just now, Jonis was certain that there was something wrong with the warhead of the test bomb.

"There is something wrong with the warhead. How is this possible? Haven't we already conducted tests before?" Wesley still didn't believe it. Although he saw with his own eyes that the warhead of the test bomb caught fire first, he didn't think it was the warhead.

Something went wrong.

"There might be something wrong with the last test." Jonis had already had a premonition of something, feeling that there might be something wrong with the titanium warhead they developed last time.

"Teacher, how is this possible? What could be wrong with the experiment we did together?" Wesley looked at the teacher puzzled.

"Let's go back and do another test and we'll find out."

Jonis knew that it was useless to say anything now. He could only know the result by going back and doing another experiment!

"Okay, let's go back and do another experiment!" Wesley couldn't argue with the teacher. He could only go back with the teacher and do another experiment.

The two people quickly returned to the test room, then took another titanium test bomb, and tied it to the circular test device like last time and started testing it.

Jonis personally pressed the start button.

The circular device began to rotate rapidly.

After about ten minutes, the warhead suddenly caught fire.

Jonis quickly installed the button again and turned off the switch. The circular device slowly stopped.

Jonis and Wesley were surprised to see that the titanium warhead tied to the circular device had melted, and the pointed head was gone, leaving only a pit.

"How about it, Wesley, what else do you have to say." Jonis looked at the titanium warhead on the device that had been burned out by the high temperature. He looked at his student Wesley with some gloating and said.

"Teacher, what's going on? The last time we tested it, it was fine. Why is it not working this time?"

Wesley saw that the titanium metal warhead tied to the circular device had flattened. He felt strange. The results of these two completely different tests were unacceptable to him.

"Wesley, I now know what happened. The last time we did the test, it must have been because the voltage was low, so the rotation speed of the circular device was not so high. As a result, the titanium warhead naturally did not rotate.

High temperature melting.

Because the speed is not fast enough, the friction generated is not large enough, and the high temperature generated is not high enough to melt the titanium metal. Therefore, the titanium metal warhead does not melt.

But when we were conducting a missile test just now, when the missile dived down in the air, its speed was more than ten times the speed of sound. This speed is enough to generate a high temperature of two to three thousand degrees on the warhead.

The melting temperature of titanium metal is only over 1,600 degrees! Just now, a high temperature of two to three thousand degrees was generated on the titanium metal warhead. Do you think the titanium metal warhead can avoid melting?

The warheads are all on fire and melting, but the test missile is still rolling and exploding in the air! Now, you should understand what's going on!"

Jonis saw that Wesley didn't quite understand why the missile test failed just now, so he explained it to Wesley in detail.

"Teacher, what should we do? Can we still successfully develop ballistic missiles?" When Wesley heard what the teacher said, he was a little discouraged.

"Why not? Any new weapon is successfully developed after a series of failed tests! This ballistic missile is a new type of weapon, and of course it may have failed many times during the development process."

As a veteran military engineer, Jonis has developed many kinds of weapons. He knows that research on each new weapon requires a series of failures before it can be successfully developed!

"Teacher, what should we do next?" Wesley was at a loss for a moment.

"What else can we do? Continue to develop missile warheads. The titanium warhead test just now failed, so we will test the tungsten warhead again to see if it works. If it doesn't work, then we will consider using some alloy warheads."

Jonis knew that there was no other way now. He could only test each metal once and see how it went. If not, he could only use some alloys.

But he himself didn't know what kind of alloy to use! Anyway, this is what they have to do next.

"Okay, let's continue to try using tungsten warheads!" Wesley was no longer awesome now and could only do what the teacher said.

--------------------------------------------------

Besides, Zhao Zhongyao also encountered a problem! He made a test warhead out of tungsten at the beginning.

But during the test just now, an accident almost occurred.

That's why he designed this device.

Because the test device he designed was a bit too simple. There was not even a protective cover outside.

Just now when he and Yan Mingcheng were conducting experiments on tungsten warheads, something went wrong!

Originally, Zhao Zhongyao tied the tungsten metal warhead to the test device, and he tied it very firmly.

But he didn't expect that the tungsten metal warhead would become soft after being rotated and heated.

Once the metal becomes soft, it will naturally not be firmly fixed on the device. Naturally, it will easily fall off when rotating at high speed.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhongyao had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he quickly turned down the power switch, causing the test device to lose power immediately. As a result, the test device quickly stopped.

At this time, the tungsten metal bullet also fell to the ground softly.

Think about it, if Zhao Zhongyao hadn't cut off the power just now because of his quick eyesight and hands, the consequences would have been very serious.

At that time, Yan Mingcheng was standing next to the test device. If the tungsten metal warhead suddenly flew out of the test device, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Holy crap! Zhongyao, it's so dangerous! If you hadn't cut off the power in time, maybe I would have been shot!"

Yan Mingcheng looked at the tungsten metal bullet that fell at his feet, and he was still scared for a while!

"Old Yan, I'm sorry, I didn't take safety issues into consideration when designing this device!" Zhao Zhongyao knew that this was his fault, so he quickly apologized to Yan Mingcheng!

"Forget it, am I a soldier? What does this matter? Even if I am injured, is it a public injury? It is the same as being injured on the battlefield."

Yan Mingcheng is a cheerful person, so naturally he will not argue with Zhao Zhongyao because of this matter.

"Anyway, this is also my problem, and I have to apologize to you!" Zhao Zhongyao said politely again.

"Forget it, Zhongyao, hurry up and tell me how to get this device! Now you have time to talk about these useless things." Yan Mingcheng said nonchalantly.

"It seems that our device needs to be improved! This is not possible, it is too dangerous." Zhao Zhongyao also saw the hidden danger.

"Then how to change it? I'll let the workers start working immediately." Yan Mingcheng said looking at the test device in front of him.

"We need to add a protective cover to the outside, so even if the warhead falls off the track, there will be no problem!" Zhao Zhongyao has already thought of how to improve it.

"Are you talking about adding an iron cage outside?" Yan Mingcheng already understood what Zhao Zhongyao meant.

"Yes, that's what it means. Of course, the iron cage must be made denser, otherwise the warhead will not be easy to get out of the gap." Zhao Zhongyao told Yan Mingcheng while pointing at the test device.

He needs to quickly make such a protective device.

"Okay, I'll do it right away. There's nothing difficult about this." When Yan Mingcheng heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, he felt that this problem was easy to handle.

"Okay, the experiment just now failed again! It seems that the warhead made of tungsten, the highest melting metal, is not strong enough! I have to think about other methods!" Zhao Zhongyao took a look and saw that just now

Tungsten, the most meltable metal, is still melted by the high temperature of high-speed rotation, so I feel that this may be in trouble.

"Then let's do our own thing! You go and design a new warhead! I'll design the protective cover." Although Yan Mingcheng is not a military expert, he can still design an iron cage. It is legal after all.

A college student who graduated from a military academy?

"Okay, that's it, you design the protective shield, and I'll design the new warhead."

After the two divided the work, they started working again.

Zhao Zhongyao returned to his temporary office. He sat at his desk, thinking about what to do!

As he was thinking about it, he remembered that he once saw a military magazine that mentioned a very powerful alloy warhead.

At that time, the warhead was an alloy warhead made of tungsten carbide. Such a warhead was very hard and could be used as an armor-piercing projectile.

"If we have, we can use tungsten carbide as the warhead of ballistic missiles. This way, they will not be destroyed by high temperatures when flying at high speed."

Zhao Zhongyao is a reborn person. Naturally, he does not have to make too many detours when developing weapons. After all, he has a lot of experience in his previous life to learn from!

The same cannot be said for Jonnis and Wesley, their master and apprentice. They have no previous experience to draw from. To say that they have experience, it is just some experience of Jonnis, an old military industry, in developing weapons in the past.

But these experiences seem a bit insignificant compared with the 21st century military technology that Zhao Zhongyao has mastered.

After having this idea, Zhao Zhongyao quickly designed a new missile warhead and asked workers to quickly produce this new type of tungsten carbide alloy warhead.

At this time, Yan Mingcheng had already produced the protective cover of the test device and installed it on the test device.

"Zhongyao, how are you? Your new missile has been developed!"

After Yan Mingcheng installed his device, he went to Zhao Zhongyao's office to call him.

"I have already developed it. Have you completed the protective cover of the test device?" Zhao Zhongyao also asked Yan Mingcheng about the development situation.

"It's all installed, just waiting for your new missile!" Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao happily and said.

"Okay, let's continue the experimental work on the new warhead."

As they talked, the two came to the laboratory again.

"Zhongyao, what kind of metal is the warhead you developed this time? Why does it look a little black?" Yan Mingcheng asked very curiously when he saw Zhao Zhongyao taking out a black and shiny warhead from the workshop.

"This is called a carbon tungsten alloy warhead." Zhao Zhongyao said while fixing the warhead on the circular track of the test device.

"Tungsten carbide warhead! Interesting, can this warhead be more resistant to high temperatures than pure tungsten metal missiles?" Yan Mingcheng looked at the new warhead in front of him with some curiosity.

"Yes, theoretically, this kind of tungsten carbide warhead can withstand high temperatures of four to five thousand degrees. Such high temperatures are difficult to generate even when ballistic missiles dive. So, theoretically, this kind of warhead can

It is an ideal ballistic missile warhead."
