After the control system, including the gyroscope, is moved to the "high-precision rocket" and moved to the nose, the prototype is finalized and ready for mass production.
This would have been unimaginable in ordinary times, even in a large industrial country like Eagle Sauce. It only took more than ten days of test flights before it was finalized and entered mass production. This is simply a joke.
But in Wang Xuexin's hands, all this became possible.
Not only is it possible, it's even impeccable.
If there is any shortcoming, it is that the vehicle-mounted launcher is not that fast... The vehicle-mounted launcher is not just a matter of shortening the launcher. When the launcher is shorter, the ejection distance of the "high-precision rocket" will also be shortened.
If it is shorter, more thrust will be needed, and of course it will also need to undergo test flights.
But this won't take long.
Before the vehicle-mounted launcher was developed, Wang Xuexin proposed another thing for transition.
This difficulty was brought up by He Zhimin. He said with some worry at the meeting: "Batalion Commander, it is said that we are going to use this rocket to deal with the Japanese heavy artillery... If the vehicle-mounted launcher is already in shape, then there may be no problem. It
It can target the enemy in the shortest time. But now we only have a fixed launcher, and in principle it can only attack fixed targets!"
He Zhimin is right. This is one of the reasons why Hans used v1 missiles to hit the capital in history... The capital is a fixed target and cannot be moved, so v1 missiles can be launched towards it using fixed launchers.
.
But Wang Xuexin is now a heavy artillery unit used to fight the Japanese.
The use of fixed launchers can only work in one situation: the scouts detect the Japanese artillery positions in advance, and then the Eighth Route Army spends more than an hour setting up the launchers, and then launches...
This combat method is too rigid. The Japanese heavy artillery units may be transferred at any time during combat. The launcher that takes more than an hour to set up is meaningless in actual combat.
In other words, although the prototype has been finalized and can enter mass production, because the vehicle-mounted launcher has not yet been realized, the "high-precision rocket" is still in a state of being unable to be put into actual combat or can only play an extremely limited role in actual combat.
However, this problem did not trouble Wang Xuexin. He just thought for a moment, took the drawing of the launcher, then added a few strokes of "swish", then handed it to He Zhimin, and said: "Add a little more to the launcher.
Modify and install several rails on the brackets at both ends so that they can rotate around the middle, so that when necessary, the launcher can be quickly pointed in the target direction!"
He Zhimin couldn't help but look at the drawings, and then nodded and said: "This is indeed a solution. In this way, the launcher does not need to be disassembled and assembled frequently. After installation, it only needs to be rotated to point quickly.
Target!"
With that said, he handed the drawing to Professor Su.
Professor Su quickly put on his glasses and took the drawing. After looking at it for a while, he nodded and said: "I think this plan is feasible. It only adds a few orbits. First, it is not difficult. Second, it will not increase the installation time much, but it makes the launcher more capable."
Reuse!”
At this time, a researcher objected: "Professor Su, Professor He, the launcher with the track can only adjust the direction, but what about the height? Should we also design a launcher that can adjust the angle?"
Professor Su glanced at Wang Xuexin, shook his head and said: "It's completely unnecessary, because our 'high-precision rocket' can adjust its flight altitude by itself. All we have to do is set the flight altitude before launching."
!”
The researcher said "Oh" and then had nothing to say.
Although Professor Su explained this, he had a new understanding of Wang Xuexin's abilities.
Wang Xuexin did not consider the "angle" of the launcher from the beginning. Does this mean that he knew from beginning to end that "high-precision rockets" could adjust their height without relying on the launcher?
You must know that even researchers will fall into this pit due to inertia, but Wang Xuexin can naturally avoid this mistake, just like it should be done...
Wang Xuexin didn't mean it. At that moment, Wang Xuexin just thought of the giant cannon used by Hans. Because its barrel was too heavy, they also used rails to help rotate the barrel to adjust its direction.
The "high-precision rockets" used by the Eighth Route Army at this time can actually be regarded as a kind of artillery.
It's just that the shells used for this kind of gun are a small aircraft that can fly automatically... This aircraft cannot adjust its direction but can adjust its flight altitude before launching.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin didn't think much and applied orbital thinking to the launcher.
But obviously, this kind of thinking is still flawed...
Once the launcher is installed, it cannot move even if it has a track, so it becomes a fixed "fort".
This would not be a problem at first, because the "high-precision rockets" have a long range and there is no need to worry about enemy artillery fire back.
The problem is that the Japanese have planes, and the planes still have the upper hand to a certain extent, especially when it comes to bombing fixed targets...
To be precise, it is not the upper hand in aircraft, but the upper hand in radar.
Because the Japanese have radar, whenever the Eighth Route Army fighter planes are dispatched, the Japanese radar can detect it and prepare in advance to send fighter planes to intercept it.
The Eighth Route Army had a headache without radar.
You don't know when the Japanese will come to explode. The fixed launcher is tall and large, and it can be camouflaged at ordinary times. After firing the "rocket", you can't hide it.
If the Eighth Route Army wanted to defend it, it would have to send fighter planes to patrol at all times, but the Japanese only had to pick a time to dispatch a large scale.
This is also the importance of radar. It can also be said to be the strategic advantage of "offense is greater than defense". If there is radar, this advantage can be weakened to a certain extent.
It won't be that difficult for this kind of prototype to reach the mass production stage.
Because the rocket engine used in the prototype was originally produced by the Eighth Route Army, it is actually a rocket launcher with different specifications, filled with propellant as fuel.
Other components...including the control system are not complicated.
This is mainly due to Hans's design. Their positioning of the V1 missile is also "cheap" and "can be mass-produced in a short time".
For example, the control of the prototype directly omits the direction operation of the wings. The tail controls the direction and height entirely, and there are many wooden parts.
The advantage brought by this is that...it is not difficult for the Eighth Route Army to produce it.
As the Eagle Sauce pilot said, it's like a model airplane.
If there is any component that the Eighth Route Army cannot produce, it is the gyroscope... You have to ask Yingjiang for more of this thing, otherwise it will not be good one day if Yingjiang gets stuck in the neck and needs to replace the v1 technology.
