Wesley was very surprised to see the test missile they developed disintegrated in the air, and he didn't understand why the missile they had worked so hard to develop had such a result.
"Wesley, there must be something wrong with the warhead of the missile. Didn't you see that the warhead of the missile caught fire first!"
After carefully recalling the scene just now, Jonis was sure that there was something wrong with the warhead of the test bomb.
"There is a problem with the warhead. How is this possible? Haven't we already tested it before!" Wesley still couldn't believe it. Although he also saw with his own eyes that the warhead of the test bomb caught fire first, he didn't think there was a problem with the warhead.
"There may be a problem with the last test." Jonis now has a premonition of something, and feels that there may be a problem with the titanium warhead they developed last time.
"Teacher, how is this possible? What's wrong with the experiment we did together?" Wesley looked at the teacher puzzled.
"Go, go back and do another experiment to find out."
Jonis knew that it was useless to say anything now, he had to go back and do another experiment to know the result!
"Okay, then let's go back and do another experiment!" Wesley couldn't argue with the teacher anymore, so he could only go back with the teacher and do another experiment.
The two quickly returned to the laboratory, and then took another titanium test bomb, and tied it to the circular test device to start the test just like last time.
Jonis pressed the start button himself.
The circular device began to spin rapidly.
After about ten minutes, the warhead suddenly caught fire.
Jonis quickly pressed the button again and turned the switch off. The circular device slowly stopped.
Jonis and Wesley watched in amazement at this time that the titanium warhead tied to the circular device had melted away, and the pointed head was gone, leaving only a dent.
"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, and he looked at his student Wesley with some gloating and said.
"Teacher, what's going on here? Didn't it work well the last time we tried it? Why didn't it work again this time!"
Wesley saw that the titanium warhead tied to the circular device had been flattened, and he felt very strange. The two completely different test results made him unacceptable.
"Wesley, I now know what's going on. When we did the test last time, it must be because the voltage was low, so the rotation speed of the circular device was not so high, so the titanium warhead naturally didn't let it go. Melting at high temperature.
Because the speed is not fast enough, the friction force generated is not strong enough, and the resulting high temperature is not high enough to reach the melting point of titanium metal. Therefore, the titanium warhead is not melted.
But just now when we were doing a test missile test, when the missile dived down in the air, its speed was more than ten times the speed of sound. Such a speed is enough to generate a high temperature of two to three thousand degrees on the warhead.
And the melting point of titanium metal is only more than 1,600 degrees! A high temperature of two to three thousand degrees was generated on the titanium metal warhead just now. Do you think the titanium metal warhead can not melt!
The warheads were all ignited and melted, so the test missile hadn't rolled and exploded in the air yet! Now, you should understand what's going on! "
Seeing that Wesley didn't quite understand why the missile test failed just now, Jonis explained it to Wesley in detail.
"Teacher, what should we do? Can we successfully develop ballistic missiles?" Wesley was a little discouraged when he heard what the teacher said.
"Why not, isn't any new weapon 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 an old military engineer, Jonis has developed many kinds of weapons. He knows that every new weapon has to go through 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 the missile warhead. The titanium warhead failed just now, so let's try the tungsten metal warhead again to see if it works. If it doesn't work, then we have to consider using some alloy warheads."
Jonis knew that there was no other way now but to test each metal once. See how it goes, if not, you can only use some alloys.
But he doesn't know what kind of alloy to use! Anyway, that's what they're going to do next.
"Okay, then let's continue to try with tungsten warheads!" Wesley was no longer awesome, so he could only do what the teacher said.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
Besides, Zhao Zhongyao also encountered a little problem! He started by making an experimental warhead out of tungsten.
But during the test just now, an accident almost happened.
That's why he designed this device.
Because the experimental device he designed was a bit too simple. There is not even a protective cover outside.
When he and Yan Mingcheng were experimenting with tungsten warheads just now, something almost 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 warhead would become soft after being rotated and heated.
Once the metal becomes soft, it will naturally not be firmly fixed on the device. In the case of high-speed rotation, it is easy to fall off naturally.
It was Zhao Zhongyao's quick eyesight and quick hands, so he quickly flipped the power switch down, causing the test device to be powered off all at once. So the test device quickly stopped.
At this time, the tungsten metal warhead also fell softly to the ground.
Think about it, if Zhao Zhongyao hadn't cut off the power supply with his sharp eyes and hands just now, the consequences would have been very serious.
At that time, Yan Mingcheng was standing beside the test device. If the tungsten metal warhead suddenly flew out of the test device, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Damn it! Zhongyao, it's so dangerous! If you hadn't cut off the power supply in time, I might have been shot!"
Yan Mingcheng looked at the tungsten metal warhead that fell to his feet, and he was still afraid for a while!
"Old Yan, I'm sorry, I didn't consider safety issues when I designed this device!" Zhao Zhongyao knew that this was his own fault, so he hurriedly apologized to Yan Mingcheng!
"Forget it, am I a soldier! What does this matter? Even if I get injured, is it still a public injury? It's the same as being injured on the battlefield."
Yan Mingcheng is a cheerful person, so he naturally wouldn't argue with Zhao Zhongyao because of this.
"Anyway, this is also my problem, and I have to apologize to you!" Zhao Zhongyao said politely again.
"Forget it, Zhongyao, hurry up and talk about how to get this device! Now I have time to talk about these useless things." Yan Mingcheng said indifferently.
"It seems that our device needs to be improved! This is not acceptable, it is too dangerous." Zhao Zhongyao also saw hidden dangers.
"Then how do we change it? I'll let the workers start working immediately." Yan Mingcheng said, looking at the experimental device in front of him.
"We need to add a protective cover outside, so even if the warhead falls off the track, isn't there any problem!" Zhao Zhongyao has already thought of how to improve it.
"Do you mean to add an iron cage outside!" Yan Mingcheng already understood what Zhao Zhongyao meant.
"That's right, that's what it means. Of course, the iron cage should be denser, otherwise the warhead won't be easy to get out of the gap." Zhao Zhongyao pointed to the test device and gestured to Yan Mingcheng, telling him He wants to make such a protective device quickly.
"Okay, I'll do it right away. It's not difficult." When Yan Mingcheng heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, he felt that this problem was easy to handle.
"Okay, the experiment just now failed again! It seems that using the metal with the highest melting point 'tungsten' as a warhead is still not strong enough! I have to think about other ways!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at it, just now Tungsten, the metal with the highest melting point, is still melted by the high temperature of high-speed rotation, so I feel that this may be a bit troublesome.
"Then let's do our own thing! Go design a new warhead! I'll design that protective cover." Although Yan Mingcheng is not an expert in military industry, if he wants to design an iron cage, he may still be able to do it. After all, he is also a college student who graduated from a formal military academy!
"Okay, that's it. You design the shield, and I design the new warhead."
After the division of labor between the two, they started working again.
Zhao Zhongyao returned to his temporary office. He sat at his desk, thinking about what to do!
As he thought about it, he remembered that he saw a military magazine once before his death, which said that a metal warhead was very powerful.
At that time, that warhead was an alloy warhead made of tungsten carbide. Such bullets are very hard and can be used as armor-piercing bullets.
"With it, tungsten carbide is used as the warhead of the ballistic missile, so that it will not be destroyed by high temperature during high-speed flight."
Zhao Zhongyao is a reborn person. Naturally, he doesn't have to take too many detours when developing weapons. After all, he has a lot of experience from his previous life to learn from!
As for Jonis and Wesley, the master and apprentice, they couldn't do it. They didn't have any previous experience to learn from. As far as experience is concerned, it is just some experience of developing weapons in the past by Jonis, an old military engineer.
But these experiences are insignificant compared with the military technology of the 21st century that Zhao Zhongyao has mastered.
After having this idea, Zhao Zhongyao quickly designed a new missile warhead. And asked the 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. It is also installed on the test device.
"Zhongyao, how about it, have you developed your new missile!"
After Yan Mingcheng installed his device, he went to Zhao Zhongyao's office to call him.
"I've already developed it. Have you finished the protective cover of the test device!" Zhao Zhongyao also asked Yan Mingcheng about the development.
"It's all installed, just waiting for your new missile!" Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao happily and said.
"Okay then, let's continue the experimental work on the new warhead."
After talking, 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 saw that Zhao Zhongyao took out a black and shiny warhead from the workshop, he was very angry
Chang asked curiously.
"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 withstand higher temperatures than pure 'tungsten' metal missiles!" Yan Mingcheng looked at the new warhead in front of him with some curiosity.
"That's right, theoretically speaking, this kind of tungsten carbide warhead can withstand a high temperature of four to five thousand degrees. Such a high temperature is difficult to produce even when a ballistic missile dives. So, theoretically, this kind of warhead, It is an ideal ballistic missile warhead."
Zhao Zhongyao fixed the warhead, then looked back at Yan Mingcheng, and told him some of the performance of this warhead.
"Oh, so that's the case! Well, let's test it quickly! If the test is successful, we have taken a big step towards the successful development of ballistic missiles!"
Yan Mingcheng also knew that the biggest problem they encountered with the ballistic missile they were going to develop now was the high temperature resistance of the warhead.
If this problem is solved, it will be much easier to develop the body of the ballistic missile itself.
"Yes! This is a crucial step! It depends on whether this test can be successful." Zhao Zhongyao also knows that this test is very important, and it is the key to the successful development of ballistic missiles.
"Okay, let's start!" Yan Mingcheng couldn't wait.
"Well! Start!" Zhao Zhongyao said while pressing the start button of the test device.
"Hoo hoo!" The test device began to spin rapidly.
"One minute, two minutes---ten minutes---half an hour---one hour."
An hour later, the test device was still spinning rapidly, and the tungsten carbide warhead was still spinning on the track at high speed, and it didn't look like it was about to catch fire.
"Haha, okay, Zhongyao, we finally succeeded." Yan Mingcheng jumped up happily when he saw the situation.
"Yes! It finally succeeded." Zhao Zhongyao went over and turned off the power of the test device.
The two carefully watched the circular track on the test device slowly come to a stop.
After Zhao Zhongyao waited for the circular track to stop, he saw that the tungsten carbide warhead was still fixed on the track without deformation at all.
