With Wang Xuexin's fine-tuning ideas, there will be no major problems with the prototype's automatic flight.
If there is any problem, it is the problem of keeping secrets from the enemy.
The confidentiality issue mentioned here does not refer to artificial leaks, but that this "high-precision rocket" is a cheap and large-scale bombing thing... Hans from June 1944 to March 1945, no.
Within a year, tens of thousands of V1 missiles were launched towards the Empire on which the sun never sets.
However, objectively speaking, Hans used this missile in the wrong place at that time. They used it to bomb the mainland of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets in the hope of forcing it to surrender. This was basically an impossible strategic goal, especially when Eagle Sauce had already
Participated in the war and transported a lot of supplies to the Empire where the sun never sets, and even transported a large number of Eagle Sauce troops... to prepare for the Normandy landings in June 1944.
Under such circumstances, it is foreseeable that the v1 missile can only cause small-scale panic and riots, and will not have any impact on the Sun Never Sets and Yingjiang's offensive strategy.
If Hans really understood the value of the V1 missile, he should use it to fight for air supremacy... Hans had already lost air supremacy at that time. After losing air supremacy, Hans's ground troops were restricted everywhere, especially Hans, who had always cited
Proud armored force.
The most typical example is that during the Normandy landings, the armored units of several Hans divisions were crippled by Allied fighters and bombers on their way to the front line... Without air superiority, tanks were targets for enemy aircraft.
Hans never thought of one thing: to seize air supremacy, you don’t have to fight in the air and you don’t have to use fighter jets to win it back bit by bit.
They have v1 missiles in their hands. Although the accuracy of the v1 missiles is not high at this time, if they can focus on bombing the enemy's airport... does that mean that they can severely damage the enemy's air power and even make the enemy's fighter planes have nowhere to land?
Although this will not change the result in the end, because with the production speed of Eagle Sauce, no matter how many v1s are used, they will not be able to explode.
But this can at least delay the Allied offensive so that Hans's ground troops will not be restrained everywhere or even be bombed out of combat effectiveness before they can take effect.
Wang Xuexin, as a modern person, would certainly not make this mistake.
Therefore, his positioning of "high-precision rockets" from the beginning was to target the enemy's military units rather than the capital... Hans used V1 to bomb the capital where the sun never sets in order to make it lose confidence in fighting and choose peace talks, but this
It is obviously an unattainable delusion.
To achieve this effect, v1 must be equipped with a nuclear warhead.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin was not like Hans, who positioned the V1 range as more than two hundred kilometers... Only with this range can we reach the capital where the sun never sets.
For Wang Xuexin, a range of more than 30 kilometers is enough, and a range of more than 50 kilometers would be even better.
However, in actual combat, it is best to launch within more than 30 kilometers. The longer the distance, the less accurate it will be. Anyway, it can hit the Japanese heavy artillery with a range of only more than ten kilometers and suppress it.
The problem is...
This kind of large-scale "high-precision rockets" can produce dozens of rockets in one dozen, and if used for a long time, several batches of them can produce hundreds or thousands of rockets.
If these thousands of bombs are fired, there will definitely be problems with some of them, such as duds.
This is a shot in the direction of the Japanese. There is a high probability that the dumb bomb will fall into the enemy's control. When the Japanese dismantle this thing... will they know the secret of "high-precision rockets"?
Because of this, Wang Xuexin and the R&D staff also organized a meeting.
The meeting was held at Wanxian Airport, right at Wang Xuexin's headquarters.
The headquarters is not large and is crowded with dozens of R&D personnel.
Professor Su's idea is to add two fuzes to the "high-precision rocket": one is a collision fuze after reaching the destination and performing the dive procedure, and the other is a delay fuze that is activated at the same time.
Professor Su said this: "Before the war, we can estimate the time. For example, if the dive takes two minutes, then set the delay fuse to three minutes. Even if the collision fuse fails to detonate the bomb, the delay fuse will detonate and
Blow up the fuselage!"
Wang Xuexin didn't say much. He tapped his fingers gently on the table and fell into deep thought.
Hans in history also used this method to prevent the V1 missile from falling into the hands of the Empire on which the sun never sets. However...
Wang Xuexin said: "Professor Su, this method seems very safe, but... the bomb we use is basically an airplane. It dives from a high altitude to the ground. If the impact fuse fails to detonate in time, it will be delayed.
The fuse is out of time, what do you think will happen?"
When Wang Xuexin said this, everyone understood.
"Battle Commander Wang is right!" He Zhimin said: "Especially our 'high-precision rockets', whose fuselage uses a large number of wooden parts. Although these parts have the advantages of light weight and low cost, they are difficult to detect from high altitudes."
When it dives down and hits it like this... it immediately shatters into pieces and flies everywhere. Will the delay fuse still be connected to the explosive normally? Or are the explosive and the fuselage still together? Are important components such as the gyroscope near the explosive?
?”
If the answer is no, it means that the prototype cannot be successfully blown up, and it also means that the secret will be leaked.
Professor Su thought for a while and asked: "So, how can we ensure that the secret is not leaked? Add more fuses? Or add more explosives?"
Everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
This is indeed a troublesome matter. It seems inappropriate to add a few more fuses or a few more explosives.
Add a few more fuses, it looks like multiple insurances, but if an accident occurs, no amount of insurance will help, such as the fuselage breaking and the explosives splitting into two places.
Add a few more explosives. Although it can ensure that important components are blown up with a high probability, it also increases the danger and operational complexity of the "high-precision rocket" itself...
You know that this thing contains 800 kilograms of explosives. What does it mean to install several small explosives next to it?
If one accidentally detonates other explosives, causing the main explosive to explode, will he be blown up to the sky?
After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin asked: "The core components should be the gyroscope and control system, right?"
This is an obvious question, because everyone knows that the most important thing is the control system.
After receiving a positive answer, Wang Xuexin added: "What do you think will happen if...we move the control system to the nose of the aircraft?"
This time Professor Su and the R&D staff all understood.
"Yes, it's installed on the nose of the machine!"
"Don't tell me that the detonation of the explosives will blow it up! It's like a dive. The first thing is to destroy the control system!"
"Even if the devils can get the pieces and piece them together, it's useless. They don't know how to control the data!"
