When I came to Monrokov and heard Wang Xuexin's words, I almost couldn't believe it was true, because the aero engine is crucial to the bear, and this kind of intermediate-power bomb can even be said to be available.
What's the use? He just asked with the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, Wang Xuexin really agreed, and he could exchange it for one x2 with 10,000 bullets.
This is great news. Menlokov will report this matter to the general counsel immediately.
The general counsel was overjoyed after hearing this. He was afraid that Wang Xuexin would regret it, so he immediately ordered: "Tell comrade the battalion commander that we will order a first batch of one hundred x2, which is one million rounds of ammunition!"
Then the general counsel sent telegrams to Moscow non-stop, requesting that the production of intermediate-power bullets be started at full capacity immediately and the delivery of the one million rounds of bullets be completed as quickly as possible.
This is what the general counsel said: "If they haven't reacted yet, let's complete the deal as soon as possible! My God, you can buy one x2 for 10,000 rounds of ammunition. This is a pretty good deal!"
Of course, Moscow knew the value of the
rifle, so there is no sense of urgency for production, but a trial batch is produced for testing to see how powerful it is.
But now, because there are orders from China, and they can also exchange for the x2, which is in short supply, the production status has changed immediately. The originally deserted production workshop has become lively with people coming and going, and batches are following.
The ammunition was packed and flown to China on a transport plane.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Wang Xuexin decided to go to three stores.
This time, a transport plane came to pick him up, and he landed directly at the three stores.
This is not Wang Xuexin's big show, but he is currently at Liyuan Airport in Ningxia. If he had to ride a horse or take a bus to get to the three stores, the journey of hundreds of kilometers would take several days and nights.
It would be okay in normal times, but now the war situation is urgent, and it would be inappropriate to waste this time any longer.
When we arrived at the Sanjiadian Arsenal, Professor Su happened to be there.
Professor Su has been studying the improvement of x2 with Su Xin in the arsenal during this time.
Because x2 is a new piece of equipment, it will definitely have many shortcomings, such as high wind deflection and insufficient speed. The most serious problem is that x2 uses a rocket engine, which will produce a lot of smoke when it is launched. This smoke
It often makes pilots unable to see the target clearly, so during combat, they often lose the target or even collide with the enemy aircraft. The last air battle between "La 5" and "Zero Fight" over Liyuan Airport occurred several times.
An example of this kind of battle.
It was Su Xin and Professor Su who were arguing fiercely.
Professor Su said: "If you want to solve this problem, you should change the fuel. Otherwise, using gunpowder columns as fuel will not solve the smoke problem!"
"Replace the fuel?" Su Xin objected: "Does that mean replacing the entire engine? Replace it with a 'high fire' pulse engine? Just for those few seconds of flight time? Have you considered the cost? Have you tested the time?
?”
"This is related to the lives of pilots!" Professor Su replied sternly: "It is especially related to the outcome of the battle. Do you know how important air supremacy is to our army? So how much cost and time are
Worth it!”
When Wang Xuexin walked into the office, both of them were stunned with red faces.
After a while, Su Xin glanced at Professor Su, and then stammered to Wang Xuexin with a hint of embarrassment: "You... why are you here? You didn't even say a word..."
Wang Xuexin asked a little strangely: "Hey, Director Su! When will I come, do I have to inform you in advance?"
Su Xin was speechless for a moment. She wanted to say something else but Professor Su snatched her words away.
"Battle Commander Wang, you came at the right time!" Professor Su said: "There is a problem that cannot be solved now. Please give us your opinion!"
With that, he went over the points that the two of them were arguing about.
Wang Xuexin replied without thinking: "I support Director Su's point of view, we cannot replace the engine easily."
Professor Su looked at Wang Xuexin with surprise. He originally thought that Wang Xuexin would definitely support a pulse engine with less smoke.
Wang Xuexin explained: "This is not just a matter of cost, we also have to consider other related issues... The pulse engine was not filled with fuel until before the war, and the fuel was unstable and toxic. What if there was an emergency and there was no time to fill the fuel? And
It is also not convenient to transport. If it leaks during wartime, it will
Causing serious accidents, these need to be seriously considered. Therefore, missiles like the x2 are more suitable for using solid fuel. As for the problem of large smoke... we can consider adding wingtip pylons, that is, mounting the x2 on the wingtips
, so that it is farther away from the pilot and less susceptible to the smoke!"
"Wingtips?" Professor Su was surprised. No one had ever thought of this. Everyone was accustomed to hanging bombs under the wings, but they didn't expect that the wingtips could still be hung.
But it makes sense when you think about it, hanging on the wingtip is one wing away from the pilot.
What's more important is that this way, the x2 is almost at the same level as the pilot, so even if there is smoke, it will not easily affect the pilot's sight...
If x2 is under the wing and the fighter plane wants to attack the target above, x2 will jump from bottom to top, so smoke may spray directly into the pilot's cockpit.
But if the x2 is hung on the wingtip, even if it attacks the target above, it will fly directly upward from the wingtip, and generally it will not spray directly into the pilot's cockpit.
Thinking about it, Professor Su nodded and said, "What a great idea! You can try it!"
In fact, this is not only "you can try", but it is absolutely possible... because many modern fighter aircraft use wingtip pylons.
Another advantage of the wingtip pylon is that it can be integrated with the wing after the missile is mounted, which will minimize the impact of the missile on the aerodynamic layout of the fighter aircraft.
At this time, missiles had not yet come out, and all countries had only aerial bombs. Of course, no one considered hanging bombs on the wing tips.
Su Xin rolled her eyes and thought to herself, we have been arguing about this problem for days and nights, and this guy came out of nowhere and solved it with just one sentence, and he solved it so perfectly... Wingtip pylon,
How did he think of it?
"That's right!" At this moment, Professor Su suddenly woke up: "Battle Commander Wang, aren't you commanding the aviation team to fight? Why are you here suddenly?"
Wang Xuexin took out a handful of bullets from his backpack, put them on the table with a bang, and said: "I'm here for this thing! Put everything else aside first, and let's solve this problem later!"
