Zhao Zhongyao began to design the ‘gyro’ thing. This thing looks simple, but in fact it is not that easy to design.

Although the gyroscope is not a complicated instrument, it is a very precise instrument. You can't just get a small gyroscope casually.

The gyroscope is a mechanical device. Its main part is a rotor that rotates at a very high angular speed about the rotation axis. The rotor is installed in a bracket; by adding an inner ring frame to the central axis passing through the rotor, the gyroscope can surround the plane.

The two axes can move freely; then, add an outer ring frame to the inner ring frame; this gyroscope has two balance rings and can move freely around three axes in the plane, which is a complete space gyroscope.

Although Zhao Zhongyao was not a military industry expert during his lifetime, he was also a military enthusiast and knew some knowledge about military industry.

He has also studied things like gyroscopes before. Now it is very easy to design this thing.

After all, he already has the shape of this thing in his mind, and what he has to do now is to draw the image in his mind.

In this way, Zhao Zhongyao spent a day drawing the shape of a space gyroscope he imagined.

With this design drawing, it will naturally be much easier to produce this thing.

In another day, Zhao Zhongyao built the space gyroscope.

At that time, Yan Mingcheng was also watching. When he saw Zhao Zhongyao making a gadget, he said in surprise: "Is this the 'gyroscope' you are talking about!"

Zhao Zhongyao took the 'gyroscope' in his hand and played with it and said, "Yes! Why, don't believe it!"

Yan Mingcheng scratched his head and laughed: "Why don't you believe it? I just feel that this thing is too simple! Just like this, can it maintain the balance of the missile?"

Zhao Zhongyao glanced at the 'gyroscope' in his hand again and said, "You will know if it can be done by trying it."

As Zhao Zhongyao spoke, he installed this small gyroscope into the tail of an experimental missile next to him.

Previously, he had improved the missile's tail so that this small 'gyro' had a place to place it.

After everything was done, he said to Yan Mingcheng: "Let's go, we can continue the missile experiment."

Yan Mingcheng followed Zhao Zhongyao suspiciously.

The two of them walked out of the workshop. Then they went to a temporary company nearby and called a few soldiers.

This is a company of a missile battalion temporarily formed on a small island. It is used for missile launch tests.

As before, Yan Mingcheng called a few soldiers to come out and transport the experimental missile that Zhao Zhongyao had placed the 'gyro' on in a small car.

Then we came to a temporary launch site nearby.

There is a makeshift launch pad there.

Since ballistic missiles are launched vertically, the launch pad, that is, the rocket launcher used in the world during Zhao Zhongyao's lifetime, is similar.

Originally, ballistic missiles and launch vehicles were members of the same missile family. However, their uses were different and their names were different.

Generally speaking, ballistic missiles used by civilians are naturally not called missiles, but launch vehicles. Ballistic missiles used by the military are naturally called missiles, not rockets.

Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng together asked the soldiers to install the experimental missile on the launcher.

Everything was the same as before, with Yan Mingcheng commanding, and then Zhao Zhongyao pressed the launch button himself.

With a sound of "Boom!", this experimental missile went straight into the sky again.

After the missile flew vertically for a few minutes, it began to fly horizontally again.

After flying horizontally for less than a minute, it began to dive and attack the target again.

When they saw the missiles starting to attack the target again, Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng were both a little nervous!

Since the target area is dozens of nautical miles away from their island, it is not easy to see the target area clearly with the naked eye on the island.

If you want to see the target area clearly, you need to use a telescope!

Now Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng each hold an ordinary military telescope in their hands. They are constantly looking at the movements in the target area.

You must know that it has failed several times before. If it fails again, Zhao Zhongyao will not know how to develop such a ballistic missile.

Both of them are holding their breath now, watching to see if the missile will return to the same situation as before. They are afraid that the missile will roll over and explode as it approaches the target!

The missile is now very close to the target. It is only about a hundred meters away from the target.

Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng were both very nervous, and their eyes widened in surprise.

Although Zhao Zhongyao feels that he should be able to succeed this time.

But after all, it was an experiment. He had no idea whether it would succeed or not.

Yan Mingcheng was even more nervous because he felt that the small 'gyroscope' was not a high-tech precision instrument. Just using this gadget could really solve such a big problem as missile balance.

Therefore, both of them looked very nervously at the experimental missile that was still flying at high speed in the sky. Their eyes were wide open, fearing that the missile would explode on its own like before.

Now the missile flew over the target immediately, and the distance was less than twenty meters. This distance was not achieved by previous experimental missiles.

"boom!"

The missile successfully destroyed the target and did not explode in mid-air.

"Haha, good, good, successful, successful."

When Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng saw that the experimental missile had finally successfully destroyed the target, they both jumped up happily.

"Zhongyao. I really didn't expect that the little 'gyroscope' you developed really works! It actually stopped the missile from rolling and successfully destroyed the target!"

Yan Mingcheng used his telescope to look at a model warship that had been blown to pieces by missiles. He was very happy.

"Whether it works or not has nothing to do with the size of the component. Last time, how big was the 'electronic cutter' I developed? It was much smaller than this electronic 'gyroscope', but no matter what, it's still the same.

Shoot down the enemy's unmanned reconnaissance drone.

The more sophisticated the instrument, the smaller it becomes. This is a common phenomenon. Is there anything else you can't understand?"

After Zhao Zhongyao listened to Yan Mingcheng's words, he explained it to him.

"Zhongyao, what you said makes sense. I am a layman and I really don't know much about your military industry!"

After Yan Mingcheng heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, he scratched his head again, looking a little embarrassed.

"I'm not talking about you! Lao Yan, you are also a division commander. Although you are not a military industry expert, you still need to know more about military industry.

In future wars, weapons will play an increasingly important role. As a military commander who uses weapons, only if he is familiar with and understands the weapons in his hands can he better utilize the performance of the weapons!

If a commander has no education at all and no knowledge of military industry, how can he command a modern army well? This is unimaginable!"

Zhao Zhongyao saw that Yan Mingcheng had been following him for such a long time and his military industry level did not seem to have improved much, so he said a few words to Yan Mingcheng.

After hearing this, Yan Mingcheng smiled sheepishly: "Haha, Zhongyao, you are criticizing and educating me! Okay, I am all ears. I will definitely learn more from you in the future, so that I can become a super military industrialist like you as soon as possible.

expert."

"Haha. Your tone is not small, and you are a super military expert like me. It would be great if you can act like an ordinary military expert." Zhao Zhongyao mocked Yan Mingcheng in a joking tone.

"Hey, Zhongyao, don't say that. I have some credit for the successful experiment of this experimental missile just now!" Yan Mingcheng seemed to have thought of something again, and looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said with a smile.

"Yes, what kind of credit do you have? I developed this 'gyroscope'. I also designed the experimental missile. What kind of credit do you have?" Zhao Zhongyao said with some dissatisfaction after listening to Yan Mingcheng's words.

"Zhongyao, don't forget that you were able to develop the 'Gyroscope' only because I brought you a small alarm clock to repair it! If I hadn't brought you a small alarm clock first.

How could you even think of developing a 'gyroscope'?"

Yan Mingcheng was really good at making excuses, which made Zhao Zhongyao really speechless.

"Hmph! Okay! It seems that you still have the most credit! Well, you will do the rest of the work. You can develop the first medium-range ballistic missile!"

Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng and gave him an impossible task.

"No, no, no! Zhongyao, aren't you kidding me! What do I know? If you ask me to develop ballistic missiles, even if you ask me to develop a pistol, I can't develop it either!"

When Yan Mingcheng saw that Zhao Zhongyao was going to give him such an arduous task, he immediately refused. Because for Yan Mingcheng, this arduous task was an impossible task.

"That's alright. Since you can't develop it, don't give me the credit. All the credit belongs to me alone." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng and made a joke that made Yan Mingcheng a little embarrassed.

"Yes! Yes! It's all Zhongyao's and yours alone." Yan Mingcheng carefully accompanied the smile. "Haha! What are we talking about! The great mission has just begun! Let's not waste time, I

We have to go back and design ballistic missiles as soon as possible."

Zhao Zhongyao knows that he still has an arduous task! He has not yet designed the first real ballistic missile! This is the highlight of this missile development. Only by designing the blueprint of this ballistic missile first

, to proceed with the next step.

"Okay, let's go back!" Yan Mingcheng stopped joking with Zhao Zhongyao.

The two returned to the office area from the launch site.

Zhao Zhongyao returned directly to his office.

Yan Mingcheng was naturally embarrassed to disturb Zhao Zhongyao again, so he returned to his office.

A few days later, after Zhao Zhongyao worked hard, he finally designed the blueprint of a medium-range ballistic missile.

Then, after taking it to the workshop and letting the relevant technicians take a look, they immediately started producing this heavyweight weapon.

A month later, China's first medium-range ballistic missile was finally successfully developed and produced in the workshop.

This day is a good and calm day.

It's time to launch a real ballistic missile.

This is an important moment, because the cost of ballistic missiles is very high. The first one costs millions of dollars! Therefore, after the development is successful, it is only tested this time. We cannot conduct such high-standard tests again and again!

Since this is an important moment, of course the superior leaders also came to the launch site. They also wanted to see how China's heavyweight weapons showed their huge power.
