Chapter 418 You Have to Rub the Rocket Launcher for Me
Ding Wei obtained four useful research materials, which can undoubtedly fill a large gap.
Especially the information about jet aircraft, which contains a lot of information, including materials, kinetic energy, turbojet engines, aircraft design, etc.
The emergence of an airplane does not come out of thin air; it requires the combination of industrial technologies from all aspects.
Tanks and airplanes are the culmination of the achievements of industrial countries, especially new fighter jets.
Ding Wei was definitely at the top of the list as he was able to obtain information about the jet.
The fighter aircraft factory needs to be put under militarized management. The information is top secret and cannot be leaked out.
"Ask Guan Xue to come to my office."
Ding Wei picked up the phone and gave instructions to his guards.
There was the sound of high heels outside the corridor, and then Guan Xue, dressed exquisitely, appeared at the door and knocked.
After getting consent, he pushed the door open and came in.
The room was very warm, so she took off her coat and thought Ding Wei called her over because of a request.
"Ahem, that's not it."
Ding smiled awkwardly and changed the subject to more important matters. He planned to implement a communications blockade at the fighter aircraft factory, strictly prohibit any flow of intelligence, and seal off research on fighter aircraft.
As for military factories, there is no need for that, just normal production will be fine.
Rocket launcher technology is not top secret. Every country has its bottom line and everyone's level is similar, it's nothing more than performance and accuracy.
This requires the research level of fire control radar and gunpowder.
The better the fire control radar, the better the accuracy of fighter planes, artillery and rockets.
In the past, we always tried to aim directly at them, but wild boars also need to eat fine bran.
Do it, do it all.
In terms of gunpowder, the most mainstream one at present is yellow gunpowder, whose chemical name is trinitrophenol, commonly known as picric acid.
Then came the emergence of TNT, which eliminated picric acid, which was difficult to preserve and needed to be moisture-proof and waterproof, and avoid contact with metal.
TNT is trinitrotoluene, which is more stable than picric acid but not as powerful as picric acid, and is more suitable for making bullets and artillery shells.
Better than TNT is RDX, which is more powerful and relatively stable, but the price is higher cost.
Ding Wei directly obtained the research plan of CL-20 explosives, which is three times more powerful than TNT, but the cost is lower, which means that rocket launchers and aerial bombs have greater power.
Artillery or rockets of the same caliber can have greater power, a wider explosion range, and greater lethality.
One cannon may be equivalent to the firing of four or five cannons.
It is also difficult to make. The shells are powerful and need to be adjusted to a reasonable amount of gunpowder. Too much gunpowder will cause the barrel to explode, and too little gunpowder is meaningless.
In order to combine the technology of rocket launchers, Ding Wei would personally go to the military factory to supervise it. Even if he had to do it by hand, he would make the rocket launcher.
This thing is perfect for fire support.
Inside the military factory, all the technical experts in charge of artillery manufacturing gathered together for a meeting, analyzing the production data of the rocket launchers.
It’s different from the Germans, different from the Japanese, and different from the Russians.
I don’t know where Ding Wei got this information, but the rocket launcher has a longer range, greater power and higher accuracy.
Several people did not get complete information, so each person was responsible for a piece to avoid data leakage.
The chief engineer in charge of the military factory was Xie Kaimu, an intellectual who had returned from studying in Germany. He was very thin and wore glasses, but he had a spirit from the inside out.
"Chief Engineer Xie, please estimate the time. How long will it take for me, Ding Wei, to see the rocket launcher made by the North Manchuria Military Factory? I have already thought of a name for it. It is called Polaris."
"Give me some more thought. With the current means of production, it can be made in about two months. Unlike conventional artillery, rocket launchers do not rely on barrels. If it is a rocket launcher like Katyusha, it can be made in half a month."
Ding Wei agreed with this point. Rocket launchers like Katyusha have a short range and their accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
The Polaris rocket launcher he required should have a longer range, at least 20 kilometers, and should have a guided effect so that the strike would be more accurate.
The firepower must be strong, the range must be long, and the shooting must be accurate.
Ding Wei's idea of having both made the chief engineer very embarrassed.
We have to deal with it even if it is difficult. If there are difficulties, we have to deal with them. It would be abnormal if there were no difficulties.
Seeing the intellectual in front of him frowning, Ding Wei was not the kind of person who would force anyone, so he gave the order in a deep voice.
"Then we'll do it in two stages. The first stage is to break through the range. It's stronger than the Russian Katyusha. It can't hit a bird at six or seven kilometers. We must break through 18 kilometers or more."
"The second stage is to achieve the guidance effect and realize the Polaris rocket launcher that I want."
"All resources in the factory are at your disposal. If you need anything, just come to me."
There should be no problem with this, right? We have the innovative gunpowder technology, which is enough to greatly increase the range and power of rocket launchers, and we also have the technology to produce it.
Ding Wei wanted to quickly see the first version of this Polaris and equip a rocket launcher battalion first.
Military factories continue to expand, but expansion is no longer appropriate and the factories should be split up in a targeted manner.
Do not affect each other.
Those who make guns will make guns, those who make artillery will make artillery, and the rest of the research institutes can get together to research equipment upgrades.
The fighter aircraft factory has been blocked and is led by another chief engineer, Deng Kai, who also studied in Germany, and a group of foreign technicians to work on the first fighter aircraft.
It doesn't taste good if you feed food to your child by hand. You will feel comfortable only if you eat it yourself.
Starting from nothing, he skipped the propeller plane and directly built a jet fighter. Ding Wei also thought of a way to name it, and named it after the Tianshu star.
Even the common people want to reach the sky, and conquering the blue sky is just the first step.
He turned a deaf ear to the outside world and focused only on the rocket launcher. With a big shot like Ding Wei personally watching him, he rubbed his hands at a fast speed.
Mass production can only be carried out after verification by hand-made prototypes.
Before that, we could only rely on rubbing it by hand to verify the feasibility of the plan.
It took only 12 days to assemble the first rocket launcher. Its range had not yet been debugged, and only the gunner had been trained.
Progress can be achieved at any cost.
"Commander, Engineer Xie invited us to the gun factory to observe the gun test."
Ding Wei was very interested and walked around and took it in to take a look.
The car drove all the way into the artillery factory, and a safe zone had been designated a few hundred meters away.
A telescope was placed specially to facilitate the leaders' observation.
"I'm not that delicate. I've been through fire and water as well. Come closer and take a look. I haven't even started firing yet, so you guys should scare yourselves first."
Everyone was also cautious, fearing that the cannon might explode during testing and injure someone.
A uniquely shaped vehicle-mounted rocket launcher is fixed on the ground. Where is my car?
He turned around and looked at the others, "Isn't this a vehicle-mounted rocket launcher? Where's the vehicle?"
Engineer Xie smiled awkwardly, "Let's see the explosion effect first. It can be mounted on a car at any time. The buckles used for installation are designed to facilitate disassembly and movement."
There was indeed a star directly above the gun, dyed bright white.
The North Star is a guide, always facing north, and also represents Ding Wei's ambition.
Why make rocket launchers by hand if you don’t take over the north?
The gun tester took his position, and with a whoosh, the rocket flew out and headed towards the target location.
It was speeding at a great speed, and then it exploded with a loud bang, blasting a huge rock into pieces.
The power and range are at least twice that of Katyusha.
