After a while, Professor Su said: "Battal Commander, the problem of miniaturization is not big. After all, the 'Hawk 81' has a bomb rack that is suitable for mounting. We only need to reduce the 'high fire' charge to scale it down.
A little improvement will basically do it. The question is, will this work in actual combat?"
"What problems do you think there will be?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"For example..." Professor Su thought for a while: "It may still have the problem of insufficient speed!"
Wang Xuexin replied: "First of all, its size and weight are reduced. If the rocket engine is not reduced or reduced not much, the speed should be faster, right?"
Professor Su and He Zhimin nodded in unison.
This is basic common sense. The thrust does not reduce the weight and volume, but the speed will of course increase.
"Secondly!" Wang Xuexin added: "It is mounted on a fighter plane and already has the muzzle velocity of a fighter plane, so will it be faster?"
Professor Su and He Zhimin nodded again in agreement.
"Again!" Wang Xuexin added: "If the range we require is not far, only about three hundred meters, does this distance not have much requirements on the amount of propellant? Is it because the mass reduction further increases the speed?"
Wang Xuexin's words were irrefutable, and Professor Su and He Zhimin nodded again.
"But..." Professor Su raised a question: "Even so, a target three hundred meters away will take about a few seconds to fly."
Professor Su calculated this based on the "High Fire"'s speed of 300 kilometers per hour, because if the two planes were chasing each other in tandem, the muzzle speed advantages mentioned by Wang Xuexin would not exist, and what should be considered is the relative speed.
Therefore, three hundred meters takes at least about 3 to 4 seconds.
"A few seconds!" Professor Su said: "It's enough for the enemy aircraft to react, and they don't even need to react. They are constantly maneuvering at large angles during the tail-biting chase, but the 'High Fire' is
Flying on a stable orbit, it’s hard to hit the target!”
Professor Su has learned some military-related knowledge during this period, especially when exposed to "high fire" and also learned some air combat tactics, so he knows some professional terminology.
Wang Xuexin nodded in agreement. Professor Su had grasped the key point.
"High Fire" will only adjust its stable state to fly along a fixed orbit. When it ignites and launches, the enemy aircraft in front is at this point, but when the "High Fire" reaches this point three seconds later, the enemy aircraft has already flown out.
Of course, it cannot hit this range.
But what Wang Xuexin thought was not that simple.
Wang Xuexin said: "When our pilots are engaged in tail-biting pursuits, don't they always fly with the enemy's aircraft? In other words, whatever actions the enemy makes, our pilots are also doing what they can to keep up with the enemy aircraft in the shortest time.
The target’s movements…”
"But this has nothing to do with 'high fire'!" Professor Su said: "'high fire' has been launched!"
"I know!" Wang Xuexin explained: "But if the 'Gao Huo' can do the same action as the pilot, is there a chance to catch up with the enemy plane?"
Professor Su looked at Wang Xuexin with disbelief: "Batalion Commander, this is impossible! It is impossible for the 'Gao Huo' to do the same action as the pilot!"
"Why not?" Wang Xuexin asked back: "For example, a wire-guided torpedo, doesn't it hit the target under human control after being launched?"
At this time, Hans had invented the world's first wire-guided torpedo, which allowed the torpedo to be artificially modified to point to the target after being launched, and was applied to submarines. It was no longer a secret at this time.
Wang Xuexin sometimes had to admire Hans' creativity.
In addition to wire-guided torpedoes and missiles, there are also helicopters, air-to-air missiles, etc., including the idea Wang Xuexin mentioned at this time, which is actually the wire-guided air-to-air missile that Hans realized and put into actual combat during World War II.
Professor Su's eyes widened when he heard this: "What the battalion commander means... is that we use missiles to control the 'high fire' to fly to the target like a torpedo?"
"Why not?" Wang Xuexin asked back: "We don't need too much control. We only need to install some sensors on the fighter aircraft to sense the pilot's operations, and then synchronize the pilot's operations to the 'high fire' through wires. This
It's like a pilot controlling an airplane
At the same time, it is also controlling the launched "High Fire". The gyroscope can maintain the stable flight of the "High Fire". The pilot's control can allow the "High Fire" to change its flight attitude in a timely manner. If the "High Fire" is equipped with a proximity fuse
...It will explode when it is closest to the target."
Professor Su and He Zhimin didn't know what to say after hearing this.
Wang Xuexin's idea was far beyond their imagination, and they thought that no matter how unconstrained their thinking, they would never come up with such a weird idea.
The problem is that this idea sounds reasonable, and what's more terrible is that it is not difficult to implement, and the actual operation of the pilot is not difficult... In fact, the pilot does not need to operate at all, he only needs to "high fire" at the enemy's aircraft
Just launch it and then bite the enemy plane's tail without letting go.
After a while, Professor Su finally regained his breath. Instead of answering Wang Xuexin's question, he sighed and asked: "Batalion Commander, how did you come up with this improvement plan?"
Wang Xuexin pretended to be relaxed and replied: "I was just thinking, since it can guide torpedoes by wire, why can't it guide 'high fire' by wire, and then I came up with this plan!"
Of course what Wang Xuexin said was not the truth.
His plan comes from the x4 wire-guided air-to-air missile developed by Hans...For Hans, it is actually an air-guided rocket developed by Dr. Hu Leimer.
However, the war was already at an advanced stage at that time, and even if this type of air-to-air missile was put into the battlefield, it would not change the outcome, and not many people knew about it.
Wang Xuexin said knowingly: "So, is this plan feasible?"
He Zhimin calculated in his mind for a while, then nodded seriously: "I think it's feasible!"
"Is it difficult to achieve?" Wang Xuexin asked again: "How long does it take?"
"It shouldn't be difficult!" He Zhimin shook his head: "The control system it uses can copy the 'High Fire', it only needs to be miniaturized, and the rest is a matter of installing additional wires. About... more than a month!"
"One month!" Wang Xuexin said: "Yuncheng can't wait. We urgently need this equipment. Can we do it in one month?"
He Zhimin gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes! We work overtime day and night, we should be able to do it!"
"Very good!" Wang Xuexin said with satisfaction: "Mr. Su, Mr. He, the life and death of Yuncheng depends on you!"
