Chapter 39
Yang Siruo:”Jiang Chen, the order from the Ministry of National Defense hopes that we can suppress anti-aircraft guns. If we can, we don’t need to buy the M1939 37mm anti-aircraft gun from the bear.” In
1938, the bear’s Kalinin factory developed a 37mm anti-aircraft gun based on the Swedish M34 40mm anti-aircraft gun. It was officially finalized in 1939 and named”M1939 37mm anti-aircraft gun”, and put into mass production in 1940.
By 1945, the total output exceeded 18,000 guns. This type of gun was the main light anti-aircraft weapon of the Soviet army in World War II.
The theoretical rate of fire is 160-180 rounds/minute, the maximum range: 8500m? The maximum firing height is 6700m, and the effective firing height is 3000m.
It’s not that the M1939 37mm anti-aircraft gun is not good, but as a backward product, it is not suitable for rabbits at all.
To be precise, it is not suitable for the peninsula campaign.
Jiang Chen:”Develop anti-aircraft guns? I don’t think anti-aircraft guns can solve the problem of air raids on our coastal areas.”
Anti-aircraft guns were the most common air defense weapons during World War II because the aircraft during World War II generally flew at an altitude of only a few thousand meters.
Anti-aircraft guns can be used for defense.
But with the development of technology, fighter jets can generally fly to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters and reach supersonic speeds.
Fast speed, high flying, poor maneuverability, low hit rate, anti-aircraft guns are not suitable for battlefields at all.
The future must be the world of anti-aircraft missiles and self-propelled rocket launchers.
Anti-aircraft missiles can be used to deal with high altitudes, and self-propelled rocket launchers can be used to deal with low altitudes. The combination of the two is an air defense weapon.
Therefore, Jiang Chen decided to develop a single-soldier air defense missile with a radar locking function to solve the Kuomintang’s air raids.
Moreover, single-soldier air defense missiles are more maneuverable and adaptable when entering the peninsula campaign.
Yang Siruo:”By the way, this time the country has recruited a large number of talents for us again, and the headquarters said they hope they can help us!”
“That would be great… Now, what the 101 Arsenal lacks most is talent!”
With a large number of talents entering the 101 Arsenal, creativity and research capabilities will be raised to a higher level.
Especially for the various scientific research centers that have been established.
Some top students studying abroad will form a scientific research center to be responsible for some technical development, such as computers, wind tunnel technology, aerodynamics, etc.
Computer technology, in particular, is very important for a backward country.
You know, how many weapons are made by abacus? With computers, efficiency will be greatly improved.
Moreover, if one more person is trained, Jiang Chen can worry less.
We must fully mobilize the effect of one point leading the whole, and one side leading the whole.
The most important thing is to ensure technological leadership, Then we must continue to innovate and cultivate talents.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.
Soon, under Jiang Chen’s operation, these talents entered their own professional fields (research institutes) according to their specialties and shined.
Among them are Zhou Hua, Qiu Siyan, Liao Yunfei majoring in computer science, Zhang Yifan majoring in aerodynamics, Wu Naiqun majoring in mechanical engineering and other top overseas students.
Most of them are students of the United States or the United States, as well as some of Hans Cat’s students.
The first topic Jiang Chen gave them to study was tanks and airplanes.
A tank and an airplane involve many disciplines, aerodynamics, generators, mechanical engineering, energy, weapons, etc.
“Everyone study it first. I will apply for a tank someday and let you disassemble it and study it.……”
“Yes, Dean!”
The youngest dean of the institute.
Well, not bad!
……
Jiang Chen was also not idle, and began to develop a portable individual air defense missile.
It was developed on the basis of the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile.
According to Jiang Chen’s settings.
The individual air defense missile consists of a launch device, a missile, a launch mechanism, and an enemy identification device (infrared thermal sensor).
The missile launch device is mainly composed of a launch tube, an optical sight, a desiccant, a refrigerant tube, a gyroscopic target correction tube and a shoulder strap.
The air defense missile is a canard aerodynamic layout, with two pairs of folded canard wings at the front of the missile body, one pair is a fixed wing, and the other pair is a rudder, which is driven by a command-controlled electric servo to deflect.
There are two pairs of”ten” configuration foldable tail wings at the tail of the missile.
After the missile leaves the tube, under the action of the centrifugal force generated by the spring and the rolling of the missile body, the tail wing automatically opens and locks the target according to the heat source. The overall missile range is 5000-8000 meters, the shooting height is 100-15000 meters, and it uses optical aiming and infrared guidance, with a single-shot hit probability of 85%.
With Jiang Chen’s operation, a new type of single-soldier air defense missile was soon manufactured for the first time.
Zhao Tianming and Yang Siruo looked at the air defense missile developed by Jiang Chen with shocked expressions.
“Jiang Chen, you are amazing… You developed an anti-aircraft missile so quickly?”
“What is it called?”
“Type 50 individual air defense missile, range 8,000 meters, altitude 15,000 meters? No enemy aircraft within this range can escape.”
Zhao Tianming was shocked:”Director, can it shoot down enemy aircraft? How about giving it a try?”
“No need!” Jiang Chen said confidently:”Do you know the 148 Javelin anti-tank missile? It can shoot down the US Sabre fighter jets. This is its enhanced version. There is nothing that can’t be done against the bald bomber!!”
Of course, it’s not that Jiang Chen is unwilling to try, the most important thing is that there is no condition for testing.
The best way to find a weapon is to take it to the battlefield. You will know whether it is a donkey or a horse after a battle.
“Notify the 101 Arsenal to mass-produce the Type 50 individual air defense missile as soon as possible to support the Magic City!”
“yes!”
