African Nationhood

Chapter 352 Wanhu-97 Rocket

The rocket test site in front of us is located on the edge of Molai Town. There is no green at all here.

Moreover, with the frequent rocket experiments, the chemical toxicity in the impact area in the desert has seriously exceeded the standard, and it has become a biological forbidden zone.

Heavily armed guards were arranged to guard this area day and night, and outsiders were not allowed to approach.

After entering the launch site, Shi Jintang was attracted by the tall launcher in front of him.

This launcher is exactly the same as the I-shaped launcher of the later "Katyusha".

Now they are all fixed on the launch tower, and 8 new rockets have been placed on the I-frame.

Looking at these military green rockets, Shi Jintang felt sad.

"Tell me about these things."

Qi Lin walked to the launcher, took a picture of a new rocket and introduced: "This missile is 1.16 meters long, 132 mm in diameter, weighs 42.6 kg, and has a range of 8.5 kilometers.

We have adopted a new formula for this new bomb, which is a new propellant made of kerosene mixed with solid potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate.

This propellant is more efficient and cheaper than the previous propellants of potassium nitrate and sugar. "

Hearing what Qi Lin said, Shi Jintang could only agree.

Sugar is too expensive, and kerosene is very cheap. Nanhua Company's refinery can also produce kerosene at an even lower cost.

"In this case, how much can the cost be reduced?"

"It can be reduced by about 28%, and the total value is about pounds."

(The statement used here is that the Katyusha sold to our country during World War II was worth 6 taels of gold.)

Hearing the unit price of 28 pounds, Shi Jintang couldn't help but take a breath. This thing is still too expensive!

"What about accuracy?"

Upon hearing this question, Qi Lin hesitated subconsciously.

"Oh, for now, the accuracy cannot be reduced. According to our calculations, within a range of 3000 meters, the maximum lateral deviation of this new rocket from the aiming point is about 60 meters, and the longitudinal deviation is about 260 meters.

This weapon can only pursue the wide-area strike effect of multiple salvoes, firing 8-16 missiles at a time, which can cover an elongated oval coverage area of ​​120 meters horizontally and 520 meters vertically.

Relying on the fragments when the rocket explodes to damage the enemy, the effect is relatively significant. "

After listening to Qi Lin's introduction, Shi Jintang took a deep breath. This was too unreliable.

This kind of weapon is designed to carry out a range of attacks on clustered charges or enemy positions. It is effective only if it is unexpected. Otherwise, this kind of weapon will not be worth the gain.

"Well, I understand, do you still use open flames to light it now?"

Qi Lin chuckled: "It has been ignited with electric sparks, and of course the open flame ignition method has been retained."

Shi Jintang nodded slightly, "Come on, let's let it go, let's treat it like a fireworks show."

Qi Lin nodded, but then asked: "8 or 16?"

Boss Shi waved his hand arrogantly, "Plenty!"

As Qi Lin pressed the crossbar of the DC electric detonator, he saw the orange tail flames of the rockets on the I-frame in front of him spraying out and roaring into the sky~~

In just over ten seconds, all 16 rockets were launched, and not long after, a rumbling explosion was heard.

"Let's go over there and see the effect."

Several people boarded their horses and rode towards the area where the rockets landed. When they arrived, they found that there were craters with different impact points in the vast area.

Shi Jintang told the people behind him: "Please do some measurements to see how big the impact area of ​​these sixteen rockets is."

Qi Lin and others followed the order and began to measure. After waiting for almost twenty minutes, Qi Lin came over and reported: "We tested it. The length is almost 3.5 kilometers and the width is 0.3 kilometers."

Hearing this, Shi Jintang frowned, "The drop range of 16 missiles is as high as 1 square kilometer. You see, the distance between these landing points is still too big. Basically, it takes 4 to 5 square meters to land a rocket. And one rocket The killing radius of the bullet is only a few hundred meters, so this weapon must win based on quantity as you said.

But the unit price is too high, it’s really worthless! "

Qi Lin nodded in agreement, "But the effect of destroying the world and destroying the earth when this thing is fired is very realistic. After using it, it will definitely cause psychological pressure on the enemy."

Shi Jintang nodded helplessly. When future generations watch movies and TV shows, when Katyusha's arrows are fired, their adrenaline will surge with excitement.

But when it comes to reality, settling accounts makes people’s scalp numb.

……

"By the way, I asked you to study transplanting this thing to a truck. How is the research going?"

Qi Lin shook his head when he heard this, "The power of that truck is too small and it is not practical at all.

Moreover, our launcher is very long, and it is difficult to adjust the range and direction of the launcher when placed on it. "

Hearing this, Shi Jintang was still speechless.

Hydraulic transmission is only an industrial application. Before the French invented the "75 Miss Cannon", no one thought that this device would be used in weapons.

Moreover, it is not easy for the hydraulic device to support the huge I-frame launch guide rail.

"Have you ever thought about using a hydraulic transmission device as the supporting power for the I-frame guide rail?"

Hearing Boss Shi's reminder, Qi Lin woke up from his dream, "Mr. Shi, your reminder suddenly made me realize, but we don't have the talent in this field."

After all, this thing is mostly used in heavy industry. Nanhua Company's heavy industry is not developed. If you have never seen it before, you will not think of using it.

Shi Jintang's face turned cold, "If you don't have anyone, you can just invite them. You can always do it with money, right?"

Qi Lin saw that Boss Shi had a wrong look on his face, and he immediately nodded respectfully: "Okay, Boss Shi, we will make arrangements as soon as possible."

Today's inspection made Shi Jintang feel a lot lower. "How is the research on the barrel-type rockets you asked to study?"

Qi Lin carefully replied: "Well, according to your request, we designed a multiple launch rocket with a range of 3 kilometers. The accuracy is higher than this, and the offset range is roughly within 100~350 meters.

Moreover, we have mounted the launch tube on wheels so that it can be towed and launched by external force. "

Shi Jintang was not happy to get this answer. Rocket bombs would be fun if they were missing, but they would be effective if they were added.

But it's too expensive. Only when the country is strong can we afford this thing.

"Okay, you have worked hard, but the research cannot stop. When can you put this thing on a car and drive around, you will be considered a success.

When the time comes, reward whatever you want, otherwise just take your time. "

Hearing this, Qi Lin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Mr. Shi was not really angry.

"Then Mr. Shi will finalize the shape of this rocket. We will not delay transplanting it to the truck."

Shi Jintang sighed, "Well, this rocket is the Wanhu-97 type.

In addition, the launcher of yours has been finalized to the H-97 type. We will first arrange for the production of 500 sets. Can it be completed before June next year? "

Qi Lin nodded: "Yes, absolutely yes, it's not difficult, it's just a little troublesome to take care of."
