The corresponding gun mount was immediately processed. Qin Tao and Zhao Ling came to the side of the prototype gun that was being tested.
From the appearance point of view, the upper part is exactly the same as Lao Maozi's AK630, and the lower part is directly fixed on the test firing position. There is no obstruction below, and you can see the exposed ammunition supply system there.
Those bullet chains with metallic luster spiraled up like a python.
"We have studied the 637 naval gun in the past and encountered some problems at that time. Now, after seeing the structure of this 630 naval gun, we are suddenly enlightened. If our project is resumed, we will definitely be able to bid against our brother units."
Xia Bei said.
There have not been a large number of Gatling cannons manufactured and used in China, so when they were first built, everyone was trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. It would be much easier if there was a prototype gun.
At this time, after hearing Xia Bei's words, Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, what we lack is a sample. If we have a sample, we can even make a vertical launch system for the missile."
Zhao Ling's eyes suddenly lit up.
Before becoming the military representative stationed at the Mingzhou Shipyard, Zhao Ling was responsible for detecting ship-to-air missiles. When the huge cylindrical launcher appeared in front of Qin Tao, Qin Tao almost fell down laughing.
She was also angry at that time, but when Qin Tao simply provided them with a plan to fold the wings, Zhao Ling's attitude towards Qin Tao changed. Qin Tao is a man who can create miracles. Many times, he
can all come up with simple solutions to the problems they encounter.
Now what Qin Tao is talking about is actually very urgent.
The launch method of ship-based missiles has been converted from inclined launchers to launch tubes, and then to vertical launchers.
In 1980, the first ship of Lao Maozi's 1144 large nuclear-powered cruiser, the Kirov, was officially put into service. This warship was equipped with a 12-seat, 8-unit S-300F missile vertical launch system with 96 bombs, making it the first in the world.
The first surface combat ship to be officially equipped with a missile vertical launch system, earlier than the Yankees. The famous MK-41 missile vertical launch system was only equipped on the sixth Ticonderoga-class cruiser in 1986. The cruisers in between,
The ordinary twin-mounted launcher is used.
However, the Yankees caught up from behind. When the MK-41 vertical launch system appeared, they were one level ahead of Lao Maozi, because this vertical launch system is universal and can be stuffed with various missiles. Lao Maozi's can only
It's exclusive.
"A vertical launch system for missiles?" Xia Bei's eyes were filled with anticipation: "Qin Gong, tell me, which one is better, Lao Maozi's cold launch or the American's hot launch?"
In addition to the different shapes of the two firing systems, one is round like a revolver and the other is square like Tetris, there are also differences in the way of firing.
Lao Maozi has always used cold launch. The missile is pushed out from the launch tube by high-pressure air and flies up to a height of more than ten meters before igniting.
Therefore, when you look at the launch of the S-300 missile, there is a bang. The huge missile climbs up slowly like a snail. Then, the engine at the tail ignites, and in a swish, the missile goes out like a monkey.
The Americans use thermal launch. The missile has already been ignited in the launch silo. Air waves are flying and flames are rising. The missile is ignited and taken off directly from the launch silo. The flames can cover the entire launch device, making it look even more spectacular.
"In terms of reaction speed, thermal emission has advantages. In terms of structural complexity, cold emission is simpler and there is no need to set up complex gas removal channels. Therefore, in the initial stage, we still start with cold emission, and
, it will also be convenient to deal with the aftermath if you encounter a stink bomb.”
Any weapon system has faults, and the fault of the missile means that it may not be successfully ignited.
If it is a cold launch, even if the missile fails to ignite, it has already left the launch tube and fallen down.
What about falling?
Although the launch tube on a warship is called a vertical launch tube, it actually has an angle. The launch tube is tilted outward. Therefore, if the missile fails to ignite, it will have already left the deck when it falls and will fall with a pop.
Going into the sea water will not pose any threat to warships.
If it is a thermal launch and the ignition fails, then the stink bomb will remain in the silo. God knows when the missile will suddenly ignite and fly away, or it may even explode in the silo.
The Americans use thermal launch because their technology is advanced and the success rate of launching missiles is very high. But what about our own side? Considering the technological gap, cold launch is safer.
Moreover, if we take Lao Maozi's route, we have a chance to get the vertical launch system, but if we take the Yankee route, we won't be able to get MK41 to study!
"Yes, if there is such a system, we really hope to take it apart and study it. Maybe, we can also develop such a device." Xia Bei said.
Xia Bei can directly ask which one is better, cold emission or thermal emission, which shows that he still has research on this kind of thing.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, there will be bread and everything."
There are too many things that need to be obtained from Lao Maozi, so Qin Tao cannot directly promise it at this time. Moreover, this kind of vertical launch system is not equipped on old models of warships. He wants to get it by picking up rags.
Going back is not that easy.
Qin Tian also knew that in later generations, these vertical launch systems were products of the 713 Institute, so now, they just talked about them casually.
While we were chatting, we found out that the factory had already completed the fixing frame, which was very efficient.
"Here, install it."
"Take apart the turret first!"
Everyone started to help, and Qin Tao also started to work. When she saw Qin Tao easily picking up the turret, Zhao Ling opened her eyes wide: "Are you a strong man?"
That was the shell of the turret. Qin Tao picked it up with one hand like this. He was definitely a strong man!
After hearing Zhao Ling's emotion, Qin Tao raised the turret high above his head: "Yes, I am Hercules."
Xia Bei smiled: "We are all weak scholars, but this thing is not heavy. It is made of plastic. When we took it apart for the first time, we thought it was made of steel!"
When they first came into contact with this prototype gun, they were cautious, thinking that it was a cast turret similar to a tank. The smooth shape looked like it was cast.
Who would have thought that when they tried to use all their strength to suck the milk, they almost lost their backs.
This turret is very light!
"There is no one here, and there is no need for protection. Calling it a turret is an exaggeration. In Lao Maozi's place, it is called a three-proof cover." Qin Tao explained: "This is a fiberglass fairing to protect against rain or seawater erosion.
, and it is also necessary to dilute the gas concentration of the gunpowder in the cannon when it is fired."
