Chapter 1565 V-4 Improved Missile

Shipyards can only be distributed along the coast. It is impossible for the Americans to transfer industry to the interior like the Soviet Union did, at least not for the shipbuilding industry. Even better, now the Americans have a lot of new aircraft carriers, outfitting. The outfitting and the hull of the hull have not yet been fully commissioned, which is the best chance to fight.

Iceland.

Although it is already summer, the climate in Iceland is still cool and the highest temperature will not exceed 20 degrees, which is the most suitable weather.

At the same time, due to Iceland's high latitude, in summer, the days are very long and the nights are quite short.

In the capital of Iceland, west of Reykjavik, 100 kilometers away, on the flat land between a platform and a mountain, at this time, it is busy.

Here is the fixed launch position.

The previous V-2 missile was only ten meters in length. It could be easily towed by a trailer and shot up at any time. However, as the length of the missile continued to increase, it would face a lot of trouble for maneuvering launch.

Now in Germany, the chassis of the rat tank is being transformed as a chassis for mobile launch. At the same time, many fixed launch positions on the ground are also being built.

The so-called fixed launch positions cannot be moved. At the same time, in order to avoid the enemy's attack, these fixed launch positions are all in the form of launch silos.

Usually, after the manhole cover is closed, nothing can be seen at all. At the same time, the manhole cover can also withstand the attack of large-yield bombs. That is to say, if the Americans brazenly dispatched bombers, or even used naval guns to shoot at close range, these The launch position can also resist.

At the same time, anti-aircraft artillery positions are deployed on the peaks on both sides. It is not so easy for the Americans to bomb.

The bombing of the aircraft must first enter the bombing route, aim at the target, and fly in a straight line. Now this is a basin. After they enter, they can't find the target at all. When they find the target, they have already flown.

This is the best launch position.

When it is built as a launch silo, there are more problems. The biggest one is how to discharge the gas during the launch. It is necessary to design a complex diversion device.

German engineers, overcoming all kinds of problems, built 20 underground silos here in less than a month, which is definitely progressing rapidly.

At the same time, right next to the launch site, a final assembly workshop was built hidden in the forest. The missile parts transported from the empire were assembled in the final assembly workshop and transported to the launch silo here to launch. Efficient.

After initial production, they could produce twenty missiles a day, as long as the parts supply was plentiful.

Just to supply the continuous launch of missiles.

At this time, in the wooden command room in the corner of the launch position, Colonel Wald Dornberg, head of the Icelandic missile base, gave a loud order: "Attention, two hours of preparation, target, Norfolk, Newport. Neues Shipyard. Latitude: 36°54' Longitude: 76°18'."

Colonel Dornberger was also a military figure in the early days of the V-2 missile, when he was just a small captain, and now he has grown to be the commander of the missile force commanding a base, and at the same time, his missiles , are also already the latest V-4 improvements.

The V-4 missile just completed the test launch not long ago. At that time, the first live ammunition was aimed at Odessa, and the Soviets personally turned their heads.

The V-4 missile is the latest German missile. Compared with the previous V-2, the biggest difference is the second-stage rocket. At the same time, almost all mature technologies are used. The first-stage rocket is a parallel connection of three V-2 rocket engines. In the current situation, the secondary rocket is a single V-2 engine, so the progress is very rapid. As long as the difficulty of air separation of the secondary rocket can be overcome, it will be considered a success. At the same time, the application of electronic computers makes the design of this missile large. For simplicity, optimize ballistics.

Even so, it can only hit a range of 2,500 kilometers. It is not enough to hit the United States.

At this time, Cyric proposed a simple and effective solution, that is, to reduce the weight of the warhead and increase the fuel tank, thereby increasing the range.

In later generations, Iraq did this. Iraq only had Scud missiles and could not reach Riyadh, the capital of Israel and Saudi Arabia. At that time, Iraq used a very simple method. Three and two bombs doubled the range. One Scud missile was taken apart and the fuel tank was used for the other two missiles, thereby increasing the range.

At the same time, the weight of the warhead was reduced to only 190 kilograms, and the Scud with a range of only 300 kilometers was successfully turned into a Hussein missile with a range of 600 kilometers.

Under the current circumstances, the development of new missiles and engines with greater thrust needs to be carried out in an orderly manner, and it is definitely not something that can be solved in a short time.

Therefore, we can only continue to think of ways to increase the fuel tank and reduce the weight of the warhead from the V-4. Because of the advanced electronic computer, the design is improved and the computer simulation is carried out. It is very smooth. When the warhead is changed from one ton to five At the same time, the missile body with a length of more than five meters was added, and the trajectory was re-optimized. The maximum range of this missile reached 5,000 kilometers.

It can threaten the major cities of the West Coast of the United States, and now it is time for it to show its power.

After receiving the order, the missile soldiers in the base immediately prepared nervously.

This batch of missiles came off the production line yesterday and entered the underground silo. Now, in the underground silo, officers and soldiers wearing gas masks began to enter the initial launch procedure to refuel the missiles.

When it's the way to a silo, it's easier to refuel. Unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine is highly toxic, nitric acid is highly corrosive, and refueling is the most dangerous in the launch process, and it is also irreversible. Once refueling is completed, the missile must be fired.

Strictly following the procedures is the premise of ensuring safety.

At the same time, next to the command room, a large machine began to make a humming sound. When it was working, even the lights on the side dimmed.

If you want to carry out any attack, you have to calculate the shooting of Zhuyuan. In the attack of naval guns, etc., you only need to shoot the commander, and constantly adjust it, and finally you can hit it with luck.

However, when the ballistic missile is launched, it will not work. It cannot be seen at all hundreds of kilometers away, so complex ballistic calculation is required. In the past, only a mechanical shooting director could be used, and the error was very large.

It's different now.

When the first computer in Germany was manufactured, the technicians certainly did not stop there. The first computer was just a starting point.
