Chapter 317 Clarity
The three indicators of the missile are mutually constrained and closely related.
Missile design is a systematic project that requires the coordinated arrangement of various indicators.
Generally speaking, increasing the range will lead to a decrease in hit accuracy. The more powerful the warhead, the lower the requirement for hit accuracy. Increasing the range requires more fuel, which will compress the warhead volume and reduce the power of the warhead.
Wu Tong's new system of miniaturized air-to-air missiles lies in the fact that Wu Tong has innovated the fuel and engine energy efficiency and made an ultimate breakthrough solution under limited conditions.
With more efficient fuels and engines, there is no need to increase fuel to increase range.
At the same time, thanks to the innovative guidance device derived by Lu Xiao, the precision positioning strike capability has also been further improved on the PL-15. Coupled with the new high-energy ammunition, the smaller warhead will not reduce the power of the warhead.
However, the design was based on Wu Tong's knowledge at the time. After a year, Wu Tong felt that she could sublimate the design accumulation and consider providing new weapons. Technology always needs to be innovated. PL-15 is now in use, and two more killer features can be added on this basis.
To formulate a direction, Wu Tong began to collect information, especially information on intercontinental cruise missiles. Wu Tong is not a beginner in this area, but if she wants to go deeper, she will definitely not be able to compare with scholars who have been researching on this front for many years. If she wants to make new research and development on the existing basis, Wu Tong feels that she still needs to learn more.
The missile family includes not only air-to-air missiles and cruise missiles, but also ballistic missiles...
Modern missiles are the most important weapons besides guns and cannons. From individual air defense missiles, to anti-tank missiles, to artillery-launched missiles, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, to air-to-air missiles equipped on fighter jets, anti-ship missiles equipped on ships... It can be said that there are all kinds of missiles, but in summary, they can be divided into two categories, namely cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.
The Dongfeng series she considered is the ballistic missile family, but at the same time, scientific researchers are trying to combine the advantages of cruise missiles and make a powerful combination. This is a good path. Wu Tong wants to start with it and is also prepared to conduct in-depth exploration and optimization from this perspective.
More extended knowledge about cruise missiles and ballistic missiles are the areas that Wu Tong needs to learn.
A missile that relies on the thrust of an air jet engine and the aerodynamic lift of its wings to fly mainly in a cruising state within the atmosphere is called a cruise missile. It can be launched from the ground, air, surface or underwater to attack fixed or moving targets.
It can be used as both a tactical weapon and a strategic weapon. According to combat use, it can be divided into strategic cruise missiles and tactical cruise missiles; according to different carriers, it can be divided into vehicle-mounted cruise missiles, aircraft-mounted cruise missiles, ship (submarine)-mounted cruise missiles... These all belong to the range of cruise missiles.
A ballistic missile is a missile that flies according to a predetermined program under the thrust of a rocket engine and flies along a free parabolic trajectory after being shut down.
Its flight trajectory is generally divided into an active segment and a passive segment: the active segment, also known as the powered flight segment or the boost segment, is the flight path of the missile from the launch point to the time when the rocket engine is shut down under the action of the rocket engine thrust and the guidance system; the passive segment includes the free flight segment and the reentry segment, which is the path of the missile's inertially flying at the given speed and ballistic angle obtained at the end of the active segment to the detonation of the warhead.
Intercontinental ballistic missiles are usually long-range ballistic missiles with a range greater than 8,000 kilometers. They have a longer range, faster speed, and greater striking power, but at the same time, the preparation work is more complicated. This is an important reserve force that China already has, and this has laid the strategic foundation for China's rise as a powerful country.
········
Wu Tong believes that the direction of breakthrough is still in Qian's ballistics, a new type of ballistic concept called boost-glide trajectory, which integrates the trajectories of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles so that they have both the penetration capability of ballistic missiles and the flexibility of cruise missiles, thus breaking through the design of existing technology and increasing the power of missiles to the maximum range of current capabilities.
However, there are still many difficulties that restrict scientific researchers, which need to be overcome one by one. Wu Tong is usually very patient. He does not want to make a breakthrough immediately. He has made sufficient preparations. Breakthroughs are just natural things. Being too impatient will not help.
Wu Tong likes to roughly list the design goals she wants before doing specific research. Only when she clearly knows what her goal is can she further determine the direction of the path to the goal!
If you don’t even have a clear goal, problems will always exist and you will never achieve it. Just like life, you must always know what you want and pursue it correctly, so you won’t go astray.
The range must reach at least 2,000 kilometers, it must be capable of hypersonic speed, solid fuel propulsion, and be able to break through the current advanced anti-missile system... Wu Tong listed the goals she wanted to break through one by one.
Knowing that Wu Tong had returned to school, Pan Wenhua called him and said, "I finally have some free time. Why don't you take a few more days off? There's no rush to return to school after the Lantern Festival!"
"Come over to the research institute and sort out your recent work arrangements!" Wu Tong put down his pen and answered seriously. Research and learning have become an inseparable part of Wu Tong, just like eating and drinking. It comes naturally and has never been a burden to Wu Tong.
After New Year's Day, the higher-ups transferred their own funds for the new year into the institute's account, leaving them for Wu Tong to withdraw and use for research and development, and operations.
"New year, new atmosphere. The school would like to ask for your opinion. Logically, you have won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, so the school should arrange a celebration ceremony for you, as well as arrangements for receiving the award. How do you plan to arrange it?" Pan Wenhua thought about the call the school had just given him, and asked Wu Tong for his opinion.
No matter how the school wants to arrange it, it will not be used to compromise Wu Tong's wishes. Everything still respects Wu Tong's choice. With Wu Tong's current academic status, the school will not take any trivial matters lightly.
It is better to make more preparations than to do nothing when something happens. Otherwise, it will become the focus of public criticism. The school does not want to be famous for this. The most important thing is that it cannot neglect top talents like Wu Tong.
Many people were watching Beijing University, waiting for Beijing University to make some mistakes, and they would rush to apply to Wu Tong. Wu Tong was born in Beijing University and chose to stay in Beijing University, but many people were secretly depressed and almost wanted to bite Beijing University to vent their anger, envious and jealous!
